Chapter 1269 Double-sided

Zhao Gui is one of the selected coats.

He has family, wife and children, and he dares not rebel when sent out. This is a very solid layer of insurance.

People who are middle-aged are also timid and will be much more cautious in their behavior.

Although you may not be able to find out how many useful things are, at least you will not be bad.

Zhao Gui also has another advantage, and it is also a fact. It is that when the flower-fried invasion, one of Zhao Gui's sisters was kidnapped by the Mongols. Later, news came from the story that she was forced to return to a Mongolian from the Tumot tribe. It was probably sold by the Khalkhas. Fortunately, the Mongol married Zhao Gui's sister as a wife, not as a slave or something, which was a blessing in disgrace.

With this relationship, Zhao Gui was sent to the grassland to inquire about the news about Heji.

In the past six months, the Later Jin side has been quite interested in Hutchison. They are very surprised that Hutchison has made the current achievements. Many people are already very alert to Hutchison's soldiers and horses in Shisanshan, but more people still regard Yang Er as the leader.

As for Kuandian, only a few people understood that those soldiers might be Hutchison's troops. More people took Kuandian's 12th Regiment as the Dongjiang Town Army soldiers for granted, and were amazed that Mao Wenlong's strong financial resources could actually build so many heavy armored infantry after opening the town.

Hutchison is still shrouded in fog.

Compared with Huji's understanding of the Later Jin side, the Jurchens felt that they knew too little about Huji.

Especially now that the food road is going to be completely cut off, it is estimated that it will be difficult to understand directly in the future. Li Yongfang must have sent more than just Zhao Gui, at least Zhao Gui feels like this.

His mission is to follow these arranged routes of Yongping merchants to the grassland, find out the good news, and then follow the caravan to return to Yongping.

After arriving in Yongping Prefecture, it was simple. There were several safe routes in the Later Jin Dynasty that could go directly from the control area of ​​Liao Town to the controlled area of ​​Jurchen. The Later Jin Dynasty Sezu, which Sun Chengzong had always been guarding, did not find out much useful things, and it was even more impossible to open the city gate and surrender like Shenyang, because the Ming army no longer trusted the Mongolian surrenders, but it was relatively simple to place some people in western Liaoning and establish passages.

Li Yongfang may not have much attention to such a "simple task". Anyway, at least more than a hundred people were sent, so there may always be big fish caught when fishing in a random net.

Before Zhao Gui left, Li Mingli secretly pulled him to the river, using the excuse to help fish.

After the autumn, large-scale fishing was allowed. Li Mingli still did his old errands, and it was not surprising that he brought a coat like Zhao Gui to help. Li Mingli was still an account opener and had always had a friendship with Tabu Nang, who was the Mongolian Zhangjing. It was normal for him to ask for a coat of Tabu Nang to help him.

Nowadays, the Jurchens in Niulu always look up to Li Mingli, of course it’s not because he is an account opener. There is no difference between Han people’s account opening and coating, at least there is no difference in the years of Tianming.

There are two reasons for looking up at him. One is that Li Mingli has a good relationship with the master Niu Lu, and the other is that when the Si Beile encountered the Ming army, the information returned by Li Mingli was appreciated by Huang Taiji, and he personally summoned him and rewarded him with five taels of silver. He also told Li Mingli to cross the river and surveillance frequently. If there is any important information, the master Niu Lu must help Li Mingli report it to the four bells.

Although it is not a banner, the people in Niulu have to do it seriously as Huang Taiji's identity.

Apart from the fishing officer, Li Mingli no longer looked for him for anything else in Niulu, and he could cross the river openly.

It was at this time that Li Mingli knew that Zhao Gui was going out and took him to the mouth of the river. Using the reason for fishing, he told Zhao Gui everything that he was a Hutchison spy.

Zhao Gui didn't quite remember what he said at that time, but what Li Mingli didn't expect was that Zhao Gui had no intention of reporting it at all.

Not to mention anything else, Li Mingli and his wife alone have helped Zhao Gui's family over the past year, so Zhao Gui is willing to repay his life. Moreover, Li Mingli does not trust Zhao Gui in everything. He clearly told Zhao Gui that there are quite a lot of tricks lurking around the pine trees. If Zhao Gui reports, he will not be able to lose his temper according to the Jurchens' temper, and his family will definitely die of a life of misfortune. The Jurchens cannot protect a family member of the coat.

Zhao Gui didn't blame Li Mingli for his prevention and distrust. If he had changed himself, he might not have the courage to do such things.

Although Zhao Gui also had a deep hatred for the Jurchens, if it weren't forcing him to the end, he still wouldn't have the courage to resist.

The bigger reason is that you cannot find the power of resistance. You are too weak and the Jurchens are too strong. Resistance will not only cause you to die instantly, but will also implicate your family.

This is also the reason why many heroes and heroes dare not resist at all. Even if they die, they are unwilling to implicate their relatives.

More people choose to escape and look for revenge organizations that can ask them to participate in. There are a large number of Liaodong people in Dongjiang Town who have a deep hatred with the Jurchens. They do not need military pay and hold wooden sticks. They are willing to fight bloody battles with the Jurchens as long as they are under the banner of the general of the Ming Dynasty.

If Li Mingli had not been involved or the lack of a peacekeeping record, Li Mingli and Zhao Gui might have been one of the soldiers in Dongjiang Town in the future. In the end, they either died on the battlefield or were later in the civil strife in Dongjiang during the Chongzhen period. Otherwise, they would have followed Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde to rebel in Wuqiao, and eventually shamelessly turned to the embrace of the Jurchens, and for survival, they abandoned their national hatred and family hatred.

Zhao Gui agreed almost immediately, without even a slight hesitation.

When Li Mingli told him that there was a very stable escape route and someone was responsible for evacuating his family at a critical moment, Zhao Gui felt even more confident.

During this trip to the grassland, Zhao Gui, an honest former Liaodong military clan of the former Ming Dynasty, and now the Mongolian left-wing Zhangjinghuo, the Eight Banners of the Jurchens, became a spy who both Jurchens and Hutchisons trusted.

Of course, after Li Mingli talked to Hutchison, Zhao Gui got a number, which was quite long and took Zhao Gui a long time to memorize it.

Without this number, Zhao Gui could not be considered a formal military intelligence officer. With this number, Hutchison recognized his identity, and from the moment he joined, he had military pay and credit accumulation.

Li Mingli described the situation on the grassland to Zhao Gui, large tracts of land, tun houses, cities, people live very easily and are protected and cared for.

The soldiers lived as rich as officers, and no one dared to bully them. Everyone lived well with labor and wisdom. Even disabled soldiers would be well taken care of. They would eat well and sleep well every day, wear warm jackets to sleep in a warm room, and do not need to worry about life.

When listening to Li Mingli say this by the wet river, Zhao Gui felt that Li Mingli's brain was a little broken.

Although such a thing is everyone’s expectation, we can’t use such things to coax him Lao Zhao?

How could a person who is already in his forties be deceived by such words of coaxing his children?

Even if he was benevolent and righteous, Zhao Gui did not believe what Li Mingli said. Zhao Gui had contacted the White Lotus Sect and felt that what Li Mingli said was even more mysterious than those idiots who believed in the rebirth of Maitreya.

After arriving at the grassland and entering the territory of Hutchison, Zhao Gui realized that what Li Mingli said was true.

There were large areas of cultivated land everywhere, and there were people with abundant life, whether it was the farmers in the Tunbao, professional soldiers, businessmen, officials from various departments who did handicrafts, and those who did small business, everyone's face was full of joy.

Zhao Gui entered an ordinary farmhouse in Tunbao. He felt that the living standards of those farmers were no worse than those of the officials of the hundreds of households when the Jurchens did not come in. No matter the environment, clothing and food at home, they were no worse than those of his hundreds of households back then.

Not only is the small environment comfortable, but from the large environment, Tunbao is in order, with various large shops on the main street, and there are various small shops in the alleys, which are quite convenient.

It is clean everywhere, and there are people who specialize in cleaning.

Each trest looks like an ordinary city in the Ming Dynasty, and has it in all walks of life. The difference is that everyone is dressed neatly, with a calm expression, and a rich and peaceful expression.

The earliest residents in the military fort have lived in more than two years. They have long been adapted to life under Hutchison's rule, with quite equality and sufficient freedom... In Hutchison, people have the freedom to move, and live wherever they want. As long as they can pay rent and their own living expenses, they will not violate the law and discipline and no one will come to care about you.

Unless you sign a long-term contract, you cannot leave at will before completing the contract, unless you support a very expensive liquidated damages.

People have freedom and can pursue wealth as long as they do not violate the law.

Hutchison encourages people to do so, and personal wealth and overall wealth growth are not contrary to them.

Free and equal laws, unpretentious officials and honest officials, a very strict defense system, soldiers with noble honors and cherished honors, as well as sheriffs and policing soldiers, everyone is used to these things, and now it is not very suitable to ask them to live in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was not only poor, but also a lot of things that made people uncomfortable.

As for people like Zhao Gui who came from the Jurchen ruling region, the situation on Hutchison's side was undoubtedly a paradise for him.

He looked at it, inquired, asked, and even asked carefully how to settle down in Tunbao.

Really, Zhao Gui wants to stay here too much.

For slaves like Zhao Gui who have experienced massacres and war, hunger, escape, abuse and other encounters, the grassland controlled by Hutchison has the same appeal as lights to moths.
