Thank you to book friends casually There's going to be a war again.
Chen Shuncai sighed and walked to the jujube tree in the backyard with a bag full of silver.
He had already dug a hole of suitable depth, carefully buried the money, filled it with soil and stamped it firmly with his feet.
Before doing all this, he sent out the wrapped slave Wu Gouzi.
He was the only one in the whole yard right now, and it was impossible for anyone to see him burying the money.
These were all the money that Chen Shuncai had looted over the years.
It was not much, but it was still a lot.
He thought that if he stopped fighting, he could live comfortably for the rest of his life with this money.
Who would have thought that just a few days after the war subsided, news came from the banner that the regent was going to send Prince Yu to lead troops to attack Taiyuan.
Chen Shuncai's Han army with red flags was also mobilized to go together.
Chen Shuncai reluctantly took one last look at the jujube tree, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
"Master, how long will it take for you to come back this time?"
When Chen Shuncai walked outside the gate, Wu Gouzi came forward and asked with a charming smile.
"Maybe a few months, maybe a year and a half."
Chen Shuncai was a little upset and waved his hand.
In fact, he wanted to bring Wu Gouzi with him.
During the initial siege to the west, the masters always brought coated slaves with them.
This not only allowed the slaves to withstand some of the baggage, saved the beasts' labor, but also provided multiple helpers.
But this time Master Shi Tingzhu made it very clear that the flag soldiers were not allowed to bring coated slaves.
Of course Chen Shuncai did not dare to disobey the military order, so he had to keep Wu Gouzi.
He wasn't worried about Wu Gouzi escaping.
Prince Dorgon has just promulgated the Escape Law, which stipulates that if a slave is caught twice before escaping, he will be whipped a hundred times, and if he is caught the third time, he will be beheaded in public.
Wu Gouzi didn't have many relatives.
Even if he escaped in these troubled times, he wouldn't be able to hide.
He would most likely be caught and given a hundred lashes.
He wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
Chen Shuncai was worried about his money.
What if the dog slave discovers the money he buried under the jujube tree, digs it out and spends it secretly?
Isn't he a mute who eats Coptis chinensis and cannot express his sufferings?
After Wu Gouzi put on his cotton armor, Chen Shuncai cleared his throat and said, "Be smart and don't cause trouble when I'm not around."
Wu Gouzi nodded and bowed and said yes.
Seeing that Chen Shuncai was about to mount his horse, Wu Gouzi quickly knelt down with his arms on the ground and his butt raised high.
Chen Shuncai stepped on Wu Gouzi's butt and climbed onto the horse, finally adjusting his sitting posture.
When everything was ready, he knocked the horse's belly with both feet, and the beast started running wildly.
Chen Shuncai held the horse's rein with one hand and reached for the saber at his waist with the other hand.
The moment he touched the handle of the knife, he felt a lot more at ease.
Ten years, this saber has been with him for ten years.
In the past ten years, this knife drank a lot of blood.
It was with this knife that he beheaded, and he went from a humble coated Aha who was carried up by his master to become a bannerman.
I hope this knife can continue to bring him good luck this time.
Chen Shuncai finally looked back into the alley, then gave the horse a whip on his buttocks.
The horse neighed in pain and quickened its pace, making a clicking sound.
Chen Shuncai narrowed his eyes slightly and let the hot wind blow over his bare forehead.
At Xishikou Archway, the armored soldiers of the Han army with red flags would gather here and form a team.

They would be led by Gushan'e Zhenshi Tingzhu to line up out of the city and march towards Taiyuan, Shanxi Province with the army of Prince Duduo of Yu.
Grab the west side It’s just that this time they are robbing the country and the world.
"Your Majesty, the Regent has asked you to follow Prince Yu to attack Taiyuan this time.
This is a good opportunity to show off."
In the big tent, a tall, muscular man said excitedly.
Not far from him, stood a strong man in his forties wearing a python robe.
This person is none other than the famous obedient king Kong Youde.
Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi were all named kings after they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and they were collectively called the Sanshun kings.
The three of them knew each other as early as in Liaodong and worked as miners together.
Later, all three of them joined Mao Wenlong's army and used a horse spoon to stir up the rice.
After Mao Wenlong was killed, they instigated the Dengzhou Rebellion by chance, and then crossed the sea together to surrender to Houjin.
Logically speaking, this experience is enough to make them feel like brothers.
But this is not the case.
If the Qing Dynasty wanted to compete with Li Zicheng and the small court of Can Ming for the world, it was not enough to rely on the Eight Banners Army alone.
It had to rely on Kong Youde and other three kings.
Compared with Wu Sangui who surrendered Shanhaiguan, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming are definitely the seniors who surrendered, and won the trust of the regent Dorgon.
Dorgon once hinted to the three that if he conquered the world in the future, he would allocate a province to them as a real land.
Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming are all the best among men, so they naturally understand that Dorgon will not be so generous.
Dorgon only said that one province would be allocated to them as a fief in the future, but he did not say whether one person would be allocated one province or three people would be allocated one province.
Kong Youde even believed that Dorgon might have said the same thing to Wu Sangui.
In this case, if you want to obtain a provincial fiefdom, you must make as much contribution as possible, completely outweighing the others.
Brothers and brothers are nothing compared to a provincial fiefdom.
The regent sent Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi to accompany Prince Azige to capture Datong, and at the same time sent Prince Duduo of Henan to lead Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde to attack Taiyuan.
On both sides were a Manchu prince and two Han vassal princes.
Their intentions were too obvious.
If Kong Youde was not mistaken, this was a small test.
Now that Datong has been captured, he naturally has to assist Prince Yu to capture Taiyuan as soon as possible.
Only in this way can he get an even rating.
The real big test is the decisive battle with Li Zicheng's department.
If Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi could take the lead to assist Azig in conquering Yulin, they would occupy a more important position in the regent's mind.
On the contrary, if Kong Youde blasted open the Tongguan city gate first and then captured Xi'an, he would naturally be looked down upon by the regent.
There are red-coated cannons in his army, and this alone is enough to make Geng Zhongming, who is accompanying him, a foil.
As for Shang Kexi, Kong Youde didn't care much.
The only thing he worried about was Wu Sangui.
At a young age, this man stood out among the generals in western Liaoning and became the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, which shows that he was really talented.
Li Zicheng conquered Beijing.
After Wu Sangui surrendered, he immediately rebelled and led the Qing army into the pass.
He fell out of favor faster than turning the page in a book.
He acted decisively and ruthlessly even Kong Youde would admire him.
The most important thing is that Wu Sangui has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands.
That was the only remaining elite of Guan Ning's cavalry.
Although Guan Ning's cavalry was not as good as the Eight Banners Army, its strength was still among the best among the border armies in the late Ming Dynasty.
With such an elite army charging and fighting, Wu Sangui is very likely to follow Azig and take Yulin first
