Chapter 326 Remnants of Dongjiang
There are not even ten thousand Jurchens, but they are invincible!
For anyone who has served in the Liaodong Army, this sentence is like a mountain that has been weighing on their hearts. For Xu Zhiyuan, who is already over 50 years old, it has an extremely profound meaning.
understand.
From the defeat in the Battle of Saarhu, to the fall of Liaodong and being trapped in the mountains, and then to the escape into the Dongjiang River, and then to the battlefield for more than ten years, the fall of Tieshan and the fall of Pidao a few years ago, more than a thousand of his subordinates, the Liao people
, he could only hide in the mountains of North Korea and live a life called a bandit, but in fact a savage.
Many times, for a morsel of food or a packet of salt, one has to fight tooth and nail and kill. In order to survive, one has no choice but to kill.
"ah……"
A North Korean's head was chopped into the sky by Su San, and red blood splashed out, like water sprayed from a water dragon. He ignored the fallen body and slashed at another Korean with a knife.
From his eyes, Su San saw panic and despair. But even so, he was not merciful.
If you want to survive here, you have to be ruthless, and there are certain things you must do.
This group of Koreans guarding the grain truck were no match for them at all, and they immediately fled in all directions under the attack of their brothers.
No matter how fast a person runs, can he outrun a horse?
Seeing his brothers chasing after them on horseback, cutting them to the ground, and seeing those Koreans fall one by one, Xu Zhiyuan didn't want to stop him, he knew what they wanted, they wanted revenge.
Three years ago, if the Koreans had not guided the Donglu, how could the Donglu have conquered Tieshan? If not for the help of the North Korean navy, how could the Donglu have reached Pidao?
revenge!
In fact, who is the real enemy?
These Koreans are just a group of treacherous guys. The real enemy is the Jiannu, the Donglu.
When he raised his head and looked towards the north, Xu Zhiyuan's eyes were cold. But there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Helpless, he held a long gun in his hand, with the iron tip at the bottom of the gun stuck to the ground, and the top was wrapped with cloth.
It was tied with a red rope and he just held it like this. At this moment, his mood seemed to calm down again.
I will take revenge one day!
Will
When they saw Su San and the others coming back, there was a smile on their faces.
"Master, these Koreans are really not enough to cut down. This is at least 10,000 shi of grain, which is enough for us to use for several months..."
Su San, who was galloping on horseback, shouted to the head master.
Oh... the boss!
Yes, he is no longer a member of Qianhu in the Ming Dynasty, but the head of the village. In the past few years since the fall of Tieshan, Xu Zhiyuan took them to wander in the mountains. The sky was like a tent and the ground was like a bed. People fell down.
If they were lost, they would cut down a few trees, burn them to ashes, and then take them with them. No one would leave them behind. If they were lost, they would become a lonely ghost in a foreign land. Only by returning to the Ming Dynasty could they no longer have to wander.
But if you are in a foreign land, how can you go back?
"Okay, let's go back to the village!"
After that, he whipped his horse and walked into the mountains, where the village was. The brothers followed behind him, riding horses and driving grain carts. Everyone had smiles on their faces.
Food! Enough to feed the people in the village for several months.
In fact, there are fields planted in the village, and even if we don't rob, the food will be enough for everyone. However, the purpose of robbing this food is to tell those perfidious Koreans, to tell them... we have not forgotten.
A few hours later, when they arrived at the village, not only were there paddy fields in front of the village, but also terraced fields on the mountains on both sides. Many Koreans were working in the fields. These Koreans were untouchables who had fled to the mountains.
, they are happy to live in the village, where no one treats them as pariahs, but as human beings.
The Koreans who were working in the fields were all kneeling in the fields when they saw the boss coming back, with respectful expressions and humble attitudes. Xu Zhiyuan and the others seemed to be used to all this. More than ten thousand people gathered here.
In a human village, they are the masters here.
Soon, the laughter of the women and children spread throughout the village. Seeing Su San jump off his horse and run towards the woman holding the child, Xu Zhiyuan smiled. This group of people who had previously killed people
The guy who never blinked became more docile than a sheep in front of these fragile little women.
It’s a pity that they are all Korean women!
Xu Zhiyuan muttered secretly in his heart, these women may be beautiful and docile, but they are from the Ming Dynasty! How can they take the women of the vassal country as their official wives?
In fact, several of them were married by matchmakers, and some were even snatched. The one like Su San seemed to be the daughter of a certain government official.
They were crying when they were first snatched away, but later they became more compliant when they found out they were Chinese soldiers. In fact, not every Korean was treacherous, although there were still many who cherished the Chinese.
"The boss, the secret envoy sent by the Ping An Dao Observation Envoy is here."
As soon as we entered the village, military advisor Su Shilin came over and quietly reported.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Throwing the reins of the horse to the Korean slave, Xu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows. In fact, at least the Ping An Dao Observer had always tacitly approved of the existence of the cottage. He still thought about Shenzong's kindness in rebuilding it. In fact, many Koreans also
Remembering the kindness of Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Xu Zhiyuan is more willing to believe in the knife in his hand. If there is no knife in his hand, perhaps, they may also become slaves of the Koreans. He once rescued Liao people who became slaves in the Korean compound.
"Donglu has crossed the river and entered the court!"
"What!"
Xu Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly opened wide, his fists clenched, Donglu was coming! At this moment, his whole person changed.
"I heard from Jin Mingxi that at the end of last year, our officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty entered Liaodong by sea, went straight to Huanglong and captured Shenyang, burned the city of Shenyang, and robbed Huang Taiji's queen. We also printed the "After Tasting Picture" and spread it around
…”
When the beaming Su Shilin mentioned "After Tasting Pictures", he was even more fascinated, and Xu Zhiyuan said even more excitedly.
"It spreads well and tastes good. Now Huang Taiji's head has turned green..."
After laughing, Xu Zhiyuan asked again.
"Then why did Huang Taiji enter the DPRK? To grab things? Isn't this DPRK a vassal state?"
"Boss, they not only robbed Huang Taiji and Donglu dignitary Fujin, but also saved the North Korean protons. This is because the North Koreans were disobedient and asked them to hand over the protons and let King Li apologize."
"Humph, I'm just looking for a reason to blackmail you."
Xu Zhiyuan snorted, such an excuse was enough for a bandit like him. Unexpectedly, he, Huang Taiji, would also use this excuse. It was so despicable. Then he said.
"Then what does Jin Mingxilai mean?"
"He's here to ask for help from us."
Asking for help?
"...Everyone in our country is grateful for the kindness of Shenzong's reconstruction in those days. Although the monarch was forced to submit to Hu after the "Bingzi Rebellion", we dare not forget the great dynasty of tomorrow in our hearts..."
Looking at Jin Mingxi kneeling on the ground, Xu Zhiyuan did not speak. Jin Mingxi came to ask for help because the Ping'an Road Observer had no soldiers and horses in his hands. The system of civilian management and separation of soldiers and generals was implemented. There were no fixed generals and no fixed soldiers. Only Seoul
The military households served in the camp on a rotating basis. As for the locals, there were no standing soldiers at all. Now that Huang Taiji led his troops across the river, they were naturally unable to deal with it.
That's why I thought of them, the remnant soldiers who were living in a foreign land.
"How dare we forget that if it weren't for you Koreans, how could Donglu have broken through Iron Mountain and Pi Island!"
Someone in the hall immediately shouted.
"Master, since the Koreans have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, their life and death have nothing to do with me!"
"Yes, my lord, the Koreans have lured the wolf into the house, just in time to give them a taste of what it's like to lure the wolf into the house."
…
Facing the angry Chinese soldiers, Jin Mingxi kowtowed again.
"Master Qianhu, please also remember that I, Korea, have served the Celestial Empire for more than two hundred years. My righteousness is like that of a king and my ministers, and my kindness is like that of a father and son.
Out of the utmost sincerity, please save me."
Facing Jin Mingxi's cries, Xu Zhiyuan remained silent, but everyone in the hall seemed a little excited. They were not willing to sacrifice their lives for the Koreans.
But...each of them is willing to avenge his family, and they all hope to kill even one more Donglu before they die.
Raising his head and looking at the excited people in the hall, Xu Zhiyuan asked.
