Lin Chunhong told Shengkun Mountain that the key to the battle in Shuozhou was to stick to it, and it was a pity for the Tartars to feel that it was tasteless to eat and abandon it. The purpose of doing so was to consume the Tartars' troops and food, and thus weaken the war potential of the Qing Tartars.

If herders north of Shuozhou feel it is difficult to protect, they can retreat to Shuozhou City or the south of the Great Wall and redefine the pastures.

As for the trade route, it will be cut off if it is broken, so that the Mongolians can know who will bring them a prosperous and comfortable life.

Sheng Kunshan was amazed and sent a large number of reconnaissance cavalry to grasp the movements of Oboi at any time and lead troops back to the city to avoid the biting cold on the grassland and the wind and sand everywhere.

Although Huang Bo trusted Shengkun Mountain very much, he was very worried when he saw the Cavalry Army hiding in Shuozhou City and doing nothing, he was afraid that Oboi would plunder and slaughter the herdsmen who defected to Jingzhou, which would affect the process of pursuing the grasslands.

When Huang Bo told Sheng Kunshan about his concerns, Sheng Kunshan looked up at the sky.

After a long time, Sheng Kunshan said, "The clouds are dense and the weather is cloudy. I'm afraid there will be heavy wind and snow within five days!"

Sheng Kunshan lived in the Three Rings since he was a child and was very familiar with the grassland climate. This point cannot be doubted by Huang Bo.

"She is strong wind and snow? Then just move the herdsmen to the south of Shuozhou to hide from the wind and snow!"

Sheng Kunshan said: "It's so good. If General Huang needs the assistance of the cavalry, please speak out."

Huang Bo said, "Why do you have to work on the Cavalry Army in a small matter? All the herdsmen are fierce. I think they are no less than those of the Cavalry Army soldiers."

Sheng Kunshan laughed and said, "This is the source of troops. Once you have a war horse, it will be easy to form a cavalry army!"

The two chatted and laughed, and Sheng Kunshan sent another order to Zhang Fengyi, ordering him to arrive in Shuozhou City within four days to avoid being blocked by heavy wind and snow.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Fengyi led his troops to Shuozhou City, the gloomy sky began to fall heavily in the snow. This time it lasted for three days. The forests inside and outside the Great Wall were dyed, and the grassland turned into a vast white area.

Shengkun Mountain is familiar with the grassland climate, and the Mongolians will only be stronger than him. Therefore, before the heavy snowfall, they had already set up camp in Liangcheng and used the barriers of Manhan Mountain to avoid the wind and snow.

The Manhan Mountain is more than 300 miles away from Shuozhou, but only more than 100 miles away from Datong. Oboi led more than 20,000 cavalry to station south of the Manhan Mountain, which naturally alarmed Sun Chuanting.

More than 20,000 cavalry gathered, which was larger than the usual scale of the Tatars entering the country in autumn and winter, not to mention that there were more than 2,000 Jurchen heavy cavalry inside. Sun Chuanting did not dare to ignore it, so he prepared for war on the front line of Xuanda and quickly warned the court.

As soon as he rushed out of Yanghe City, the envoy who delivered military pay in the court arrived in Datong and informed Sun Chuanting to Datong to preside over the distribution of military pay.

At any time, military pay was related to the morale of the army, and Sun Chuanting immediately led his personal guard to Datong.

When Sun Chuanting traveled day and night to Datong, when he saw the envoy on the first day of the Chu Dynasty, he shouted: "Obai led 23,000 elite cavalry to station troops in Daihai. The battle is imminent. I hope that Yuncheng Gong will bring good news to our governor!"

Li Haiyun replied with a smile: "I will definitely not let the supervisor down."

After saying that, Li Haiyun clapped her hands and shouted: "Bring up the military pay!"

Li Haiyun's words suddenly made Sun Chuanting's heart sank. In the past, there were several silver carts transporting military pay, but now Li Haiyun actually said the word "lift"!

Don’t think about it, military pay is the silver bill that has been rampant during this period!

Sure enough, the two soldiers easily carried a wooden box in front of Sun Chuanting. Li Haiyun picked up the key with a smile, opened the lid of the wooden box, and stacks of neat silver notes were exposed inside.

"Please look at Lord Sun. It's 445,400 yuan, which makes up for the arrears of over the years."

After Li Haiyun finished speaking, the smile on her face became even brighter. In his mind, the next thing should be Sun Chuanting's gratitude. Even if Sun Chuanting came forward, it would be his good enough.

Unexpectedly, Li Haiyun waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for a word from Sun Chuanting. He turned around in confusion and found that Sun Chuanting's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his brows were tighter than a lock.

Li Haiyun was suspicious and asked, "What are the dissatisfactions of Supervisor Sun?"

Sun Chuanting cursed: "I'm confused! The battle is imminent, and I'll make trouble!"

Li Haiyun was startled and stared at Sun Chuanting blankly, not knowing who Sun Chuanting was scolding.

Sun Chuanting seemed to have found a place to vent and kept cursing: "The border army was very harmful to the disaster. At this time, it was just a matter of military pay, and it was still using this bullshit note! Don't you know that the enemy's heavy troops are approaching?..."

Sun Chuanting's words became increasingly unpleasant. Li Haiyun was black and couldn't help but remind: "Super General Sun, please respect yourself!"

Only then did Sun Chuanting realize that this matter had nothing to do with Li Haiyun. He scolded the court and Yang Sichang here, which was of no use except to vent his inner emotions.

Sun Chuanting felt quite regretful and couldn't help but defend himself: "Aobai took more than 2,000 heavy cavalry as the backbone and more than 20,000 Mongolian light cavalry as the periphery, and was only a hundred miles away from Datong. My governor was worried that after the wind and snow stopped, the Tartars would enter the country and rob. At this time, the soldiers of Xuanda need to unite and defend the enemy outside the country."

President Sun Chuanting sighed and continued: "This governor does not refuse to use silver notes, but he just feels that the timing of the promotion of silver notes in Xuanda Border Army is wrong. The soldiers are still quite unfamiliar with silver notes. Even if there is no strong enemy outside, they need to concentrate on responding to it to avoid mutiny. What's more, the enemy's troops are now facing heavy troops?"

Sun Chuanting's explanation was reasonable but did not work. Li Haiyun had nothing to do with this matter. She was scolded by Sun Chuanting for no reason. She was so upset that she was so unhappy that she would consider the problem from Sun Chuanting's perspective?

He snorted and said coldly: "The military pay has arrived in Datong. Please ask the Supervisor Sun to count it, sign and seal it, and the officials will return to Beijing to report their lives!"

...

Li Haiyun got Sun Chuanting's signature and appraised, and did not stop for a moment and immediately left Datong. This was an attitude, and he was even demonstrating to Sun Chuanting. It is conceivable that after Li Haiyun returned to the capital, she would say something in front of Yang Sichang and Zhu Youjian.

Sun Chuanting called Fu Gong to discuss it. After thinking about it, Fu Gong also determined that at this critical point, he could neither fail to pay military pay nor issue silver invoices.

The two of them were silent for a while, and Sun Chuanting suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Just exchange it all into Yuanfeng Money House to make a big circle to give the soldiers a big circle."

Fu Gong was shocked and hurriedly advised: "Mr. Supervisor, you must not. The emperor and Mr. Yang have high hopes for the silver bill. If the master does this, where will the emperor and Mr. Yang put their faces? I am worried that the master will cause trouble!"

Sun Chuanting is a man of a strong nature. Once a decision is made, there is no reason to change it. His face turned pale and he said coldly: "If a mutiny arises due to issuing silver notes, or if the Tartars destroy the border and robbery, that is the cause of trouble!"

After saying that, he ignored Fu Gong and called his personal guards directly, and ordered him to go to Yuanfeng Money House in Datong City to exchange the silver notes into Dayuan without any penny.

Fu Gong watched the guards swayingly lift the wooden box away, helpless, and only sighed...

Let’s talk about Huang Taiji’s two-pronged approach, so he was naturally extremely concerned about every move of Shuozhou and Shaanxi. When Huang Taiji heard that Li Zicheng suffered a great loss, he fled to Gansu with his remaining troops. After the army of more than 6,000 light cavalry in Ordos was wiped out, he was so angry that he cursed: “I can’t help the mud on the wall, I’m sorry for giving war horses and weapons, and I also sent 6,000 cavalry to help! Idiot, incompetent…”

After a scolding, Huang Taiji finally calmed down. After thinking about it, he had to admit that it was impossible to let Li Zicheng survive the attack of more than 30,000 Jingzhou troops. At the beginning, Dorgon and Yue Tuo led 50,000 elite troops, but were still beaten up by the Jingzhou troops to find teeth?

Huang Taiji repeatedly deduced the situation after Li Zicheng's great defeat several times, and finally believed that he needed to continue to support Li Zicheng.

He believes that no matter how weak Li Zicheng is, as long as Li Zicheng exists, Shaanxi is a powder keg that may explode at any time.

Huang Taiji was about to send someone to contact Li Zicheng, and wanted to continue to send war horses to Li Zicheng. When he was delivering weapons, he suddenly received a brief report from Sony: After Xiong Wencan defected to Lin Chunhong, he recruited hungry people in Shaanxi and transported them to Henan. The number of people has exceeded more than 100,000 and more than 30,000.

After the briefing, Sony also made a judgment: According to the current situation, Xiong Wencan has not stopped yet, and there will be more hungry people transferred.

After receiving this information, Huang Taiji was puzzled. He didn't know what Lin Chunhong was recruiting hungry people, nor how Lin Chunhong was preparing to support these hungry people, nor what this meant to the Qing court.

Huang Taiji could not understand the connection and asked Fan Wencheng to discuss it.

After a brief look at the brief, Fan Wencheng thought that in order to reduce the cost of grain transportation, Lin Chunhong drove the hungry people to a place closer to Jingzhou.

However, after a little deeper thinking, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but change his face and said to Huang Taiji: "Emperor, Shaanxi is about to be reconciled, and Li Zicheng is worthless."

Huang Taiji was shocked, wondering why Fan Wencheng was so sure.

Fan Wencheng naturally would not have a puzzle in front of Huang Taiji, and quickly said: "If the slaves were probably not bad, the hungry people in Shaanxi were almost over one million. Shaanxi was remote and the food was extremely depleted. In addition, the number of people was large, so there was almost no relief. To stabilize Shaanxi, the only way was to immigrate all the hungry people!"

Huang Taiji felt incredible and asked, "If millions of hungry people are removed, can Lin Chunhong be able to survive?"

Fan Wencheng said: "I don't know how much food Lin Chunhong has stored. However, the slave once noticed that Lin Chunhong was scattering private salt along the coast of Guangdong, encouraging fishermen to go out to sea to fish, and then make the fish into dried fish, which can be stored for a year. Thinking about the vast sea, the sea is vast and the sea fish is almost infinite. If millions of hungry people are allowed to fish and make dried fish, feeding should not be a problem."

Huang Taiji laughed: "Fan Zhangjing, how easy is it to immigrate a million people? What's more, to the coast of Guangdong six thousand miles away? What you said is unreasonable."

Fan Wencheng said carefully: "No matter how Lin Chunhong resettled the immigrants, according to Xiong Wencan's current situation, the population of Shaanxi continues to decrease, Shaanxi will no longer be in chaos, and Li Zicheng will find it difficult to enter Shaanxi!"

Huang Taiji suddenly woke up, yes, how Lin Chunhong resettled the immigrants was something Lin Chunhong was worried about. He only needed to see that the plan to use Li Zicheng to leverage the current situation had been completely failed.
