The Tartar scout was tied up tightly, but he was still cursing.

Wu Fan frowned and gave Fang Xiaochun a wink.

Fang Xiaochun walked to the Tartars and half-squatted down, and asked in Mongolian words: "Who sent you here? How many of you are there? Why are you doing in Shunde Prefecture?"

It turned out that before joining Gao Jie, Fang Xiaochun had gone to the northern grassland to sell salt and learned some Mongolian language.

The Ming army knew that the relationship between Manchus and Mongolians was very good. Many Mongolians could speak Manchus, and Manchus could speak Mongolians.

Although the three of them could not speak Manchu, Fang Xiaochun could speak Mongolian, so he gave it a try.

But the Tartar seemed to be completely unable to understand, and still cursed himself.

"Damn it, he's a fool!"

Wu Fan was disappointed. He originally wanted to talk from this guy and kill him again. So that they could return with intelligence.

But now it seems that this guy is a life-threatening barbarian who can't speak Mongolian, so he can only take him back to the camp for inquiries.

Fang Xiaochun spread his hands and said, "This is really a coincidence. Brother Wu, what should we do now?"

Wu Fan waved his hand impatiently and said, "What else can I do? I tie this guy up and take it back together and leave it to the general to decide."

Fang Xiaochun smiled and said, "Living is better than dying, just being a little tired on the road."

"Bah, I'll have to waste food along the way by bringing this Tartar back."

Although Wu Fan said this, he still walked to the Tartars, put him horizontally on the horse's back with Fang Xiaochun, and tied him with a rope.

"So heavy a person, don't exhaust your horse anymore."

Wu Fan glanced at Fang Xiaochun and said, "Why don't Xiaochunzi, you lead the horse away?"

"Ah! Brother Wu, are you kidding?"

Fang Xiaochun took a step back and said resentfully: "I walked back at least a hundred miles apart, and I was walking with my feet. How could this be the reason."

"Haha, I'm just teasing you, you're still furious. Wasn't the Tartar horse still there just now?"

Wu Fan Chong pointed at a short distance, and Fang Xiaochun followed him. Sure enough, the maroon-red Mongolian horse was still there. The other two horses were already scared and ran away, but the horse was still waiting quietly with a loud noise.

"Hiss, why doesn't this beast run away?"

"I guess I've been with the Tartar for a long time. I heard that horses and people will become human. You don't have to worry about these things and ride them. It's a bargain for you."

This maroon-red Mongolian horse was only hit by an arrow and was not seriously injured. It was completely able to carry a heavy burden and return to the camp a hundred miles away.

"Hehe, it seems that this trip is not a loss, and I have made a horse in vain."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, how happy.

......

On November 9th, the 17th year of Chongzhen, Nanjing was very lively on this day.

Huang Degong, Jin Shenghuan, and Ma Jinzhong joined forces to defeat Zuo Liangyu's rebels, and sent Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Menggeng's heads and captured Li Guoying and other left army generals to Nanjing.

After these rebels were escorted into the city, the onlookers threw rotten vegetables and cursed the traitors.

Li Guoying closed her eyes and did not dare to see all this.

It was all like a dream for him.

The former benefactor Zuo Liangyu was actually in a different place, and the Zuo Army also fell apart.

The efforts he made in the palace were completely in vain, and it was really hard for people to say something.

Li Guoying was a little unwilling to accept it. Why did they lose in a confused manner?

After a while, Li Guoying and others were taken to the Ministry of Justice prison.

After some simple treatment, they will be taken out again and will hold a prisoner offering ceremony outside the Forbidden City.

As for Huang Degong, Ma Jinzhong, Jin Shenghuan and other generals, they made an exception and were summoned to the palace today by the son.

The witness lasted for a whole hour. It is said that the emperor also gave him a banquet and left three people to eat in the palace.

This naturally made the generals in Nanjing envious. The fact that the generals were treated like this was really a great empathy.

In addition to summoning Huang Degong, Ma Jinzhong, and Jin Shenghuan, the emperor also summoned Du Yinxi and Yuan Jixian.

Although these two men did not lead their troops to rush to the forefront during the rebellion, their role was not smaller than that of Huang, Ma and Jin.

If it weren't for Du Yinxi and Jin Shenghuan, Ma Jinzhong would not have been instigated, and he would have suddenly attacked and cut off Zuo Liangyu's "arms", forcing him to flee along the river in a hurry.

If it were not for Yuan Jixian's navy to restrain him, Zuo Liangyu would have the chance to escape, and Huang Degong's siege and interception would probably return in vain.

Maybe outsiders don’t know, but Zhu Cilang is very clear about the important role of the two, because from the beginning when he was planning, Du Yinxi and Yuan Jixian were the two most important pawns.

Yuan and Du were both capable ministers who were absolutely loyal to the Ming Dynasty and civil officials. Some of them could not say to Jin, Ma and Huang what Zhu Cilang could say to him.

When the rebellion of Zuo Liangyu and the acquisition of a large number of Zuo Army soldiers was put into use, how to deal with these troops was the first problem that Zhu Cixuan had to solve.

These troops have more than 100,000 people. If the original organization is still retained, it will be a huge burden to the court every year.

But if all of them were dismissed, Zhu Cilang was worried that it would cause unrest.

The best way is to break up the original Left Army organization and reorganize it into a battalion.

Of course, there are many soldiers and gangsters hidden in the left army.

Zhu Cilang is absolutely not allowed to stay these people.

Although the screening of the Left Army cannot reach the level of rigorousness of the Shence Army when selecting soldiers, it must not be fooled.

Zhu Cilang’s bottom line is that he cannot leave any military gangsters.

The scale of more than 100,000 people is too large. Zhu Cixuan’s goal is to lose weight for the Zuo Army and reduce the quota of troops to about 80,000.

In this way, according to the organization of the Shence Army, there are forty battalions, divided into infantry, cavalry, artillery and naval battalions.

Zhu Cixuan planned to increase the number of the Navy camps, with at least ten Navy camps and about 20,000 people.

As for the number of cavalry battalions, the number of cavalry battalions can be relatively reduced, because the water networks of Huguang are dense, and there are too many cavalrymen to play a role.

As for infantry battalions, artillery battalions should be added appropriately.

Because the Qing Dynasty had already gone south, Li Zicheng and failed to go to Jiugong Mountain.

Who knows whether Li Zicheng would die in Jiugong Mountain like he did. If this is the case, the Shun Army would collapse in one fell swoop. The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty would immediately turn around and attack Huguang.

In history, because Zuo Liangyu went east to "clear the king's side", the entire Huguang handed over to the Qing Dynasty. But in this time and space, Zhu Cilang naturally could not allow the Qing Dynasty to seize Huguang.

Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty's attention was still attracted by Li Zicheng at this time. What Zhu Cilang had to do was to immediately stabilize the situation in Huguang and at least defend Wuchang.

Of course, it would not work just by relying on the original "Left Army". Zhu Cilang was preparing to transfer Huang Degong to Huguang and work with Jin and Ma to fight against the powerful enemy.
