The captured Sangouzi and Mipu clerk lurked in the city, and they could contact the Later Jin Sezuo confessed.

According to the confessions confessed by Sangouzi and others, the Ming army in Tongzhou set up a net of heaven and earth in the city, and captured all the Hou Jin Seizure lurking in the city. They found many important documents and found a large number of gold, silver and treasures, which were all the funds for the Hou Jin Seizure activity.

"Jiannu is really willing to pay for his capital! Everyone has brought so much money for these Tartars' meticulous works!" Cao Bianjiao, who had just copied a meticulous residence, said angrily.

This time, the Later Jin Dynasty suffered heavy losses, consumed a lot of money and a lot of energy. The spies lurking in the capital were almost wiped out. Fan Wencheng, Li Yongfang, Sun Degong and other groups of Later Jin Han ministers had laid out a large number of detailed works in the core areas of the Ming Dynasty over the past few years, and all of them were wasted.

But the shopkeeper was very tough. No matter how severe the Jinyiwei tortured him, he did not mention Fan Yongdou and the court officials behind Fan Yongdou.

The shopkeeper knew that he had evidence of Fan Yongdou and the court officials behind Fan Yongdou. As long as he was still in the prison, the officials behind Fan Yongdou would definitely find a way to rescue him. If he confessed, even the gods would not be able to save him.

The next day, the Jinyiwei Tiqi from the capital arrived in Tongzhou and presented the waist card and the official document signed by Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to take the important criminals from Tongzhou to the Jinyiwei North Town Fushi Office for interrogation.

Sun Chengzong tried his best to stop it: "Now Jiannu is in the capital area and has not withdrawn. Such important criminals are of great importance. If there is any accident on the way, I am afraid that no one of you Jinyiwei can afford this responsibility."

After all, Sun Chengzong's position was there, and the Jinyiwei during the Chongzhen period had no weight to speak, so they did not dare to force the prisoners away, so they had to give up and had to return to Beijing empty-handed to report.

The Later Jin Dynasty received information sent from Tongzhou City and learned that the people within a radius of fifty miles were basically outside Tongzhou City, and Huang Taiji, who was mainly plundering the population, decided to attack Tongzhou.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Chongzhen, this day was Laba Festival. Around the sheds in the shelter outside Tongzhou City, piles of bonfires were burning. The large iron pot set up on the bonfires came out of steam. In the pot was boiling Laba porridge made of mixed grains such as rice, millet, yellow rice, date paste, peanut kernels, red beans, mung beans and other grains. Li Laoer took out a batch of brown sugar generously and asked him to add it to the large iron pot and cook it with Laba porridge.

The children had already drooled in the smell of the pot.

After the Laba porridge was cooked, Li Laoer personally took the Ming soldiers to distribute the porridge to the refugees, and first scooped the porridge into the children's bowls.

"It's so sweet!" A boy about seven or eight years old took a sip of porridge and shouted happily.

The little boy is very smart, with a pair of round big eyes on his round face, looking very clever and very likable.

"What's your name?" Li Lao Er touched the child's head.

"Go back to General, my name is Tian Song. General, you are so majestic to kill the Tartars! I also want to join the army." The little boy replied.

"You are still too young. When you grow up a little, you will be able to join the army to kill the Tartars!"

Li Lao Er continued to scooped porridge for the refugees again. Suddenly, he found that among the Minzhuang who came to help, there was a tall Minzhuang wearing a coarse white cloth and aged about 18 or 19 years old. He looked like Kong Wu was powerful at the moment. He saw that the man could pick up a large iron pot filled with water, and it was easy to do so. Moreover, this person looked extraordinary, so Li Lao Er was curious and walked forward.

"This hero is so powerful!" Li Laoer exclaimed.

Na Minzhuang turned his head and bowed deeply to Li Laoer: "General Li killed countless enemies, which made Yan admire him very much! Since Yan learned about General Li's deeds, he has taken the general as a model!"

"What a hero!" Li Laoer sighed, "I don't know the name of a hero?"

"Yan's name is Yingyuan, a native of Tongzhou." The Minzhuang replied.

"Yan Yingyuan?" Li Laoer was shocked, stunned for a moment, and said happily: "Is Yan Zhuangshi willing to join our army and kill Jiannu with Li?"

Yan Yingyuan bowed and replied, "If Jiannu came to Tongzhou, Yan would naturally fight to kill the enemy! It's a pity that Yan heard that after the battle, the general would go back outside the pass?"

"Yes, because of Li's identity, the court is unwilling to let Li stay in the pass. But Yan Zhuangshi doesn't have to be depressed. Li will one day be officially recruited by the court and return to the pass to serve the court."

Yan Yingyuan said angrily: "Why did the court keep such a general who is dedicated to serving the country?"

"The relationship is complicated, and Yan Zhuangshi, this is not something we can manage. The only thing Li thought was to kill more Jiannu and leave us Han people's clothes for future generations! I don't want one day Jiannu entered the pass, steal the Central Plains, and force the Han people to shave their money and turn China into barbarians!"

Yan Yingyuan asked in confusion: "My Ming Dynasty has millions of people and a million troops. How could Jiannu steal the Central Plains?"

Li Laoer knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to perish and the Qing army would enter the pass and steal the Central Plains, but he could not say these words, so he bowed and said, "Yes! As long as our Ming army and civilians work together, we will eventually destroy Jiannu one day!"

"Jiannu is here!" Youye Bubu stopped the ward and came back, shouting loudly all the way.

Li Laoer turned around and shouted: "Brothers, all are on guard! Jiannu is here! Prepare for battle!"

Yan Yingyuan immediately threw down his work and turned around and shouted to the Tongzhou people, "The Tartars are here! Get ready to fight!"

After saying these words, Yan Yingyuan felt his blood boiling. He had been waiting for this day after being deployed for so long.

The people of Tongzhou gathered quickly, and Yan Yingyuan also took his own weapons. Li Laoer discovered that Yan Yingyuan's weapons were a strong bow and a long white wax spear. It can be seen that Yan Yingyuan himself was an excellent archer.

The civilians who assisted the defending city had no armor or good weapons, but Yan Yingyuan was still capable as a leader of the civilians. Each of the civilians under his command held a large wooden shield three feet high and two feet wide in his hands. The spearmen behind each held a hardwood pole spear that was ten feet long. The spearhead was extremely sharp and shining with a cold light.

"Jiannu is here, you and I will fight side by side!" Li Laoer walked forward and patted Yan Yingyuan on the shoulder.

Cao Wenzhao, Yang Guozhu, Cao Bianjiao and other generals also brought Ming army officers and soldiers into the positions and prepared for defensive wars.

The Later Jin army had arrived outside Tongzhou City, and the cavalry of the brigade appeared in everyone's eyes. Li Laoer stood on a wooden tower and looked into the distance. He saw a colorful ocean of flags. One of them was the golden dragon woven on the golden dragon star representing Huang Taiji, which looked particularly conspicuous in the ocean of flags.

Under the flag, the Jin army wearing four-colored armors of red, white, blue and yellow were densely packed with people and horses.
