Chapter 136: Torture
At noon the next day, fried flowers and many Taiwanese gangs who rushed to hear the news invited Zhang Han and his party.
The Mongolian girls with big faces came up to toast and dance, Zhang Han and others felt bored, but they still tried to deal with it.
The Taiji people were very enthusiastic about Zhang Han. They had been struggling that there was no Ma market for a long time. If the business road was really established, the young man from the Ming Dynasty could transport goods from the right wing continuously, and they would recognize them even if they made money.
"I have received the order from the Khan to pay close attention to the war between the Ming and the Later Jin. If necessary, I can help the Ming Dynasty."
A Taiji said to the fried flower while cutting meat: "Da Khan said he would contact you again. Guangning can take it, but don't destroy it. It is used to negotiate with Ming Dynasty."
Fried flowers pondered for a moment and said, "What Khan meant is that he planned to cooperate with Mingguo?"
“That’s right.”
The person who spoke was Etokkisenoyan of the Hiroki Sect, who was also Lin Danhan's confidant and very strong.
"Don't be too rush to make a decision for the time being, let's see if the Ming Dynasty is strong or weak."
Qi Track: "The Khan also means this, but he wants us to prepare in advance. As long as we negotiate with the Ming Kingdom, we can send troops immediately. In recent years, the Later Jin Dynasty has occupied the pastures of Korqin and Bahrain, plundered cattle, sheep, and war horses, and seduced herders to serve in other countries. It is long time since the Later Jin Dynasty has occupied the pastures of Korqin and Bahrain, plundered cattle, sheep, and horses, and seduced herders to serve in other countries. It is time to fight with them!"
A Taiji said, "If the Ming Dynasty is strong and defeated the Later Jin Dynasty, we would not have prepared for nothing. I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will fight us on the border. That would not be unfair!"
Qi Track: "Hongbatulu judged that Mingguo's chances of winning were bigger, but he did not make too much money. If Yang Hao's strategic command was not properly directed, he might even lose or even lose a crushing defeat!"
Zhu Taiji showed dissatisfaction. They had mostly fought with the Ming Kingdom for many years and were still very clear about the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. Their tribes ranged from thousands of herders, as many as hundreds, and armored cavalry as many as thousands, as few as dozens. The entire left-wing Mongolia could mobilize 100,000 herders and less than ten thousand armored cavalry. The nine-sided important towns opposite the Ming Dynasty, the war soldiers alone were equivalent to all their tribes' populations. This was just the border town of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Kingdom also had the troops in southern provinces, the imperial guards in Beijing, and so had a large population, many prefectures, and countless wealth. The border army of the Ming Kingdom was also the elite of the army. Even if there were occasional minor setbacks, how could it be defeated miserably?
Qi Sai smiled and said, "Ask Hongbatulu about this."
At this time, the fried flowers looked at Zhang Han and smiled and said, "We only care about our own words and are indifferent to the guests."
Zhang Han bowed and said, "I have gained some knowledge after listening to all Taiji talk about these military and national affairs."
Zhang Han knew that such an opportunity was rare, so he kept cheering up and listening carefully. The war between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty was indeed very involved. At least the upper class of Mongolia was always considering the gains and losses of this war.
Judging from the results of his audition, Taiji, the majority of tribes in Mongolia, is still optimistic about the Ming Dynasty and recognizes the strength of the Ming Dynasty. However, the more this happens, the more heavy Zhang Han's heart is.
People in later generations did not have much feelings about these things. Zhang Han did not graduate from junior high school and read a lot of books later, including the ancients' miscellaneous notes. He knew about the things in the late Ming Dynasty at least.
In the battle of Sarhu, the Ming army was not only defeated, but also suffered a crushing defeat. Since then, until before Shou Ningyuan, there has been almost no decent victory.
The Mongolians originally stood with the Ming Dynasty to fight the Later Jin Dynasty. After all, people wanted to cooperate with the strong and became winners. No one expected that Mongolia was subdued by the Later Jin Dynasty in just less than ten years and became the thug and loyal lackey of the Jurchens.
The fried flowers whispered a few words to someone first, and after a while, he said, "Everyone go outside and see."
They were inside the big yurts for stir-frying flowers. They were covered with felt bags of different heights and sizes. The whole grassland was filled with these yurts. The cattle, sheep and horse herds were rarely released. They were locked directly in the corrals in front of each yurt. It was almost early winter and it started to snow on the prairie. At this time, the wolves began to become cruel. The shepherds raised dogs to prevent wolves. When the fried flowers came out, dozens of cavalry were galloping from the opposite side, attracting the dogs near the yurts to bark.
The fried flowers look at everyone’s unclear, and reminded him: “Everyone looks behind the horse.”
Zhang Han looked back with everyone, and there were many people gathered next to the big yurt, and everyone looked at the horses behind.
"Someone." Chang Wei, who was beside Zhang Han, shouted in dismay: "There are people behind the horse's butt!"
The horse was very fast, bringing wisps of dust and smoke. After being reminded by Chang Wei, Zhang Han realized that the horse was dragging people behind the belly. At this speed, those people tried hard to run faster and keep up with the horse's speed, but the manpower was exhausted. After running for a while, only a few people stumbled and followed. Most of the people were led down by the horse and dragged forward on the ground. Walking forward like this, even if the grass was very soft, when they ran closer, everyone saw blood all the way.
Fortunately, the distance was very close, so Chang Wei couldn't help but run over to look, and then ran back panting and said to Zhang Han: "Everyone is still alive, and there is still..."
Chang Wei hesitated for a moment, and his voice turned to a smaller voice: "It's all our border troops of the Ming Dynasty."
"Hmm?" Zhang Han was also a little shocked.
Here, they were discussing cooperation with the Ming Dynasty to beat the Jurchens, and then they turned around and caught more than a dozen Ming Dynasty border soldiers using horse drag. Zhang Han felt that he couldn't figure out the pulse of the fried flower.
At this time, the fried flower said: "These guys are all border troops of the Ming Dynasty. They secretly ran out of the Great Wall and asked our people to catch them. These guys are all cowards who betray their tribes and want to use their blood to clear their shame."
A dozen people were untied at this time and brought to the big tent.
All around were the Mongols watching. These Ming soldiers were covered in bruises and their faces were devastated. They also had a premonition that the outcome was not good.
"Kneel down."
Some Mongolian armor came over and dismounted and ordered the Ming army to kneel down.
The fried flower watched the people kneel down in the middle of the venue, and then explained to everyone: "Since the beginning of autumn, the Ming Dynasty has repeatedly transferred large troops, and the Southern Army has not arrived yet. These guys are from Xuanfu and Jizhen. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty said it was called to transfer the elites of the three towns. The people there were also clever and sent all the regiments and soldiers, all of which were crooked."
The Ming army in front of him was mostly wearing shabby fat jackets or blue cloth armor. They were dressed poorly. No one was wearing armor. They were over forty years old, and they looked very panicked and their eyes were very cowardly.
Not only did Zhang Han feel that such a group of people were in front of him, but Chang Wei, Liang Xing and others on the side also felt very awkward.
Along the way, they have experienced it, fighting the horse thieves for life and death, and fighting back the hungry and cruel wolves. Everyone has killed a lot, and they have also taken their lives to fight. Even Chang Wei has killed people with his own hands. Even those who were not brave enough to dare to put life and death aside at this time. The guys in front of them are said to be border troops of the Ming Dynasty, but their eyes are cowardly like those yellow sheep shot and slaughtered by others. This is what Zhang Han and his group feel very awkward.
At this time, a team of Mongolian soldiers walked behind the Ming army. The Ming army was trembling and trembling. They began to cry and beg for mercy and burst into tears. Some people also called their parents or wives and children. Chang Wei was the first to hear such a shout and walked away with a pale face.
Wang Yikui, Li Laibin and others looked at Zhang Han, and then Liang Xing, meaning that they wanted to ask Zhang Han to have a relationship. Along the way, all the Mongolian Taiji were very polite to Zhang Han. The two great knights personally invited Zhang Han and his group. They felt that their boss could save the lives of more than a dozen people.
Before Zhang Han could say that Liang Xing would shake his head slightly first. Zhang Han could take over the things in front of him, but there must be a reason. The left-wing Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty have been in a state of war. Now their private plans are the same thing, and the execution of these captured Ming border troops is another thing. If Zhang Han reaches out to care about this little business, his position will be a problem. This is a way to cause trouble for He Yusheng, and even Liang Xing understands this truth.
The Mongolians were very fast and skillful. Standing behind the person, they saw the fried flowers nodding. A soldier general wiped the knife in his hand into the neck of a Ming army. The force was not too strong. The blade easily cut the skin, revealing the white fat layer, and then cut off the capillaries and pressed down. The blood had already surged up. Then he cut off the major artery. The blood began to spray out like water. The crying and begging for mercy was still shouting, but the soldier had already walked away on his own. The person who had been cut with the artery screamed for a while, and slowly suffocated, lost consciousness, and fell down tilted.
The first one to take action, the people below began to move one by one. Blood was squirting all over the ground, and the smell of blood came to the nose. The Mongolian nobles present were like watching a killing sheep, and all of them were still smiling. Someone even chatted with the fried flowers and said, "Looking at the appearance of these Ming border troops, if all the people who were transferred here were like this, they really might not be able to win."
"The border army of Ming Dynasty is far inferior to those in the past. The soldiers and young people in Liao Town never trained. The horses were thin and the weapons were old. Most of the people who could fight were almost old. The generals did not have many servants, nor did they have the heart to raise servants who could fight. This was exactly the same as thirty years ago."
It is very regrettable in the words of stir-frying flowers. If the border troops of the Ming Dynasty thirty years ago were as they were now, they might have a chance to break through the barriers and even possibly conquer the Ming Dynasty capital!
Zhang Han interrupted at this time, "Taiji, there is someone over there who is extraordinary. If you can save this person's life, please call him my guard."
He was talking about a man kneeling at the end. He was tall and had a torn robe, showing his solid muscles, and his face was full of disdain. When he was taken by a horse, he ran all the way and was not pulled to the ground by a horse.
At this moment of life and death, this man was not afraid at all, and there was only contempt in his eyes.
