Emperor Tianqi looked deep and said, "Liu Hongxun was an old minister of the previous dynasty. He always praised himself as a Qingliu. I never expected that even such a person would be thieves, which made me feel the most terrible. Are there anyone around me who can be trusted?"

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but think in his heart that according to the experience of Emperor Chongzhen in history, when the city of Beijing was destroyed, there was really a trustworthy person, that was the eunuch Wang Chengen.

As for the others... Of course, the King of Chuang came to welcome the King of Chuang, and the Jiannu people came to welcome the Jiannu people.

Of course, it seems that Zhang Jingyi’s ideas are too extreme, and it may not be the case for everyone. In other words, it is certainly not unfair to catch nine out of ten people and shoot them.

When Zhang Jing looked at the angry Emperor Tianqi, he had to turn the topic back and said, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task at the moment is to intercept the seven families that are about to enter the pass. However... I think these people are extremely cunning. Their entry involves countless people's lives. Because of this, I will definitely be very cautious!"

"My advice is that Shanhaiguan must naturally be more vigilant and temporarily be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The so-called loose on the outside means that everything should be as usual, so that they can enter the pass with confidence."

"And the so-called internal tightness means that after they enter the pass, they can kill with one blow. Otherwise... they are in the pass, and they don't know how many people protect them. Then they change their appearance and find them out, they are afraid they will be like finding a needle in a haystack."

After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi said with a more serious expression: "Yes, they will never use their original identities to enter the pass... This is crucial."

As he said that, Emperor Tianqi looked at Tian Ergeng and said, "The front line of Shanhaiguan needs someone to take strict supervision. It is best if someone is in charge..."

After hearing this, Tian Ergeng was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, why not let me take charge in person?"

Emperor Tianqi glanced at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "Commander Tian has always been loyal. This time, let him share his worries for you."

Emperor Tianqi still hesitated for a moment before saying to Tian Ergeng: "Okay, go! You must be bold and careful. This thief is omnipresent, and if he is not careful, he may have to escape."

Tian Ergeng hurriedly said respectfully: "I obey the order."

In the capital, the atmosphere seemed to be quite relaxing.

Tian Ergeng went to Shanhaiguan under the order. Shanhaiguan had replaced a military horse, which was drawn from the Beijing camp and replaced the original Guanning Army.

The Guanning Army had two thousand people in rebelled last time, but there were more than 20,000 people in the entire Guanning Army. Therefore... in order to prevent it, many Guanning Army generals were allocated to the mainland, and replaced them with military officers from various provinces.

After Tian Ergeng arrived at Shanhaiguan, the generals of Shanhaiguan and local eunuchs came to greet him.

After greeting each other, Tian Ergeng closed the door and discussed the matter of intercepting the thief, and made a plan.

So, while sending a large number of scouts and spies to search for traces of the Qi family, he secretly dispatched a large number of Jinyiwei's experts to lurk in Shanhaiguan.

Everything is well arranged.

With the cooperation of the local generals, Tian Ergeng temporarily stayed at the eunuch's mansion and discussed with the eunuch's guarding every day.

Soon, the latest news came.

Soon, a convoy supplying Liaodong will enter the country.

The convoy is quite large, and it is the signboard of Ningyuan Mansion, which was originally used to supply Ningyuan's military supplies.

Of course, Tian Ergeng did not dare to act rashly, so he naturally waited until the other party arrived at Shanhaiguan and then caught the turtle in the jar.

After waiting for more than ten days, the convoy finally arrived at Shanhaiguan.

There are two city gates in Shanhai Pass, one facing outside the pass. After entering from outside the pass, you will enter the Wucheng. Then you can pass through another city gate and enter the pass.

At this time, Tian Ergeng was standing on the city tower of Shanhaiguan, watching the continuous convoy begin to enter the pass. His eyes were dull and he winked at a thousand households.

The Qianhu immediately understood, and then he quietly spoke flags at the soldiers and spyed the secretaries at the city gate.

The soldiers acted as if they were to search, until someone stepped forward and gave them silver. They whispered: "We are people under the jurisdiction of General Zu Dashou, the general of the vanguard. There are also some officials from Jinzhou in this convoy. I am afraid that it is not convenient at this time. General Zu Dashou has a very good relationship with your general. Please be kind."

After saying that, he took out a waist card and then gave him a heavy ingot of gold.

The guard in front of the door weighed Jinzi, looked up at the direction of the city tower, and then smiled and said, "It's great, go in."

The man thanked him so much, and then the vast convoy entered the pass.

Seeing that the convoy had all entered the urn city, Tian Ergeng was shocked and immediately said to the sidelines who had a close relationship with him: "Immediately rob the convoy, get people carefully, and close the front and rear gates. Today, I will close the door and beat the dogs and send out a signal!"

With a command, someone set off fireworks on the city tower.

So, on the city tower of the urn city, the archers who had already been ambushed all opened their bows and emerged one after another.

Immediately afterwards, countless official troops rushed out from all directions under the leadership of the Jinyi Captain.

The city gate that was originally opened suddenly closed.

At this time, the sky was already a little dim, and the official army lit a torch and surrounded the convoy of 100 vehicles.

Tian Ergeng was already very excited.

He had no military achievements, so although he was the commander of the Jinyiwei and was also appointed as the left governor, in fact, he was not even an earl.

This time, Your Majesty made a statement. Those who took these seven families would be granted the title of Duke. If you take the thief today, you will not only be proud, but also make the Northern Fushi Department famous, but also allow him to protect his descendants and become a hereditary duke.

Tian Ergeng took a group of lieutenant down the city tower with his hopes.

There was a thousand households who held the torch in a fierce manner and rushed to the front impatiently, and even said arrogantly to the people in the convoy: "Everyone, lie down for me, the Jinyiwei will do the work, and the stubborn will die."

After shouting loudly, he said, "Come, drive me all the people and goods in this car."

The manager who was escorting the carriage and horses quickly said anxiously: "No, no, we have a vanguard general..."

Qianhu went up, raised his hand and slapped him in the face, and said coldly: "This is Shanhaiguan, and soon it will be the capital! Outside the pass, his vanguard, general, officer, is still a figure, but here, it is close to the emperor's feet. What is he like? It's a big deal!"

With a slap, the manager's eyes were already showing fear, and he still said, "Don't go forward, don't go forward..."

Since then, many escorts have already stolen their heads and lie down.

At this time, a lieutenant held a torch and first lifted the curtain of a sedan chair, but found that there was no one in the sedan chair.

He looked surprised and turned around. On the other side, several people had already started to lift the felt cloth of the truck. Looking at the black things on the truck, he was full of doubts, so he subconsciously approached the torch to look.

But... after a closer look, a man suddenly shouted: "It's gunpowder..."

The word gunpowder came out, and suddenly... the fire had already appeared.

It turned out that gunpowder was flammable and very dangerous. The Martians of the torch sputtered and a drop of tincture oil fell into it.

Suddenly.

There was a rumbling sound.

A loud noise shook the sky.

This is a cart of gunpowder, which is amazingly powerful.

The heat wave suddenly came, and the sky was filled with sparks and smoke suddenly rose.

The people around the chariot and horses had already exploded.

Countless official troops in the distance were in chaos.

Immediately afterwards, fires splashed everywhere, and gunpowder in other chariots and horses also rumbling... and rumbling one after another.

In the entire Shanhaiguan, countless broken limbs and arms were flying around, and they had long been shrouded in thick black smoke. The city was small and dense. Just as a rumbling sound came over, someone was killed, and everyone ran like a flies in the other direction of the flames. Unfortunately, the gunpowder truck on the other side exploded again.

Amid the continuous roar, Tian Ergeng had been knocked away by the people around him. He was shocked and could not speak at this time. He waves of heat hit his face in waves. Countless sand and gravel hit him with countless wounds. The fleeing soldiers almost knocked him down several times.

A captain next to him rushed towards him: "Go quickly."

For a moment, Shanhaiguan was in chaos.

The fire rose and burned for the middle of the night.

When a group of people finally put out the fire, they found that it was already a corpse on the ground.

Tian Ergeng was in a state of disgust. At this time, he was unkempt and had no idea how many remaining lieutenants were left, and how many other soldiers ran away.

At this time, many people actually heard shouting: "The Jiannu people are here."

So... many official troops have already scattered.

The thick smoke was still pungent, so that even the city tower burned half of it.

But at this moment, the loud sound of horse hooves came from outside.

A military horse came over night with a torch.

Tian Ergeng is like a frightened bird. Could it be that the Jiannu people are really here?

The horse team entered the pass, got off the horse alone, shouting loudly: "Collection of the body and put out the fire."

Seeing this, Tian Ergeng stood here motionless with a group of people in a daze.

The man stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped Tian Ergeng in the face, and shouted angrily: "Who are you? Did you blow up the thief from Shanhaiguan? The person comes... take this person down!"

Tian Ergeng groaned and almost fell down.

A lieutenant behind him said at this time: "This is the left governor and commander Tian of the Jinyiwei!"

The man stopped, and a man behind him approached with a torch, illuminating Tian Ergeng's face.

Tian Ergeng also saw the other party, and saw that the other party was wearing military uniform, energetic, and had a fierce look on his face. This person... looked very familiar.

The man said, "Hehe, it turns out it was Commander Tian... Commander Tian is the commander of the personal army, why did he come to Shanhaiguan?"
