Chapter 11 The Rescue Effort
Huang Taiji is going to drive the expedition in person. Take Dolgon, Hauge, and Fuyou with you. Of course, Dolgon was a strategist, Hauge was a general who participated in the war, and Fuyou was Huang Taiji's personal bodyguard, and Zhao Guards naturally followed Fuyou and the Great Khan. There are also hundreds of people from the Imperial Forest Army guarding Huang Taiji.
It is very dangerous to drive a personal expedition, and the monarch must be mentally prepared for death before setting out on the expedition. Whoever goes to the battlefield, whether you are a general or a soldier, everyone knows that swords and guns are not long-sighted, and swords will not fall on you because of your special status. On the contrary, the higher the position, the more the enemy destroys, there is an old saying, "Shoot a man before a horse, capture a thief before the king." If you can't catch the enemy, you have to destroy him. If the emperor is killed by the enemy on the battlefield, it is likely that his army will be crushed. However, there are pros and cons to everything, and the royal expedition will also boost the morale of the soldiers participating in the battle.
Qing Taizu ** Hachi died early after being seriously injured on the battlefield, and Huang Taiji also has this spiritual preparation, which is the prestige of the monarch, and also the model of the subjects, and the political capital in the future. The Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banner Armies have a total of 24 banners, and it is with the leading soldiers of Taizu and Taizong as an example, that the soldiers under them can be more brave and good at fighting.
Huang Taiji was a great Khan with great talent, and after he conquered Korea, he devoted all his energy to the grand cause of exterminating the Ming Dynasty. This dispatch was to destroy the army of Yuan Chonghuan, a powerful force of the Ming Dynasty. This is a tough battle, and it is also a battle that cannot be left unfought. If Yuan Chonghuan's Ming army was not eliminated, it would be impossible for Huang Taiji to enter Shanhaiguan.
Before setting out on the expedition, Fuyou went to Longyun Temple. He was very confused, although he was not a monk anymore, but he was also a disciple of Buddhism, this expedition to fight, although he was the guardian of his father Khan, he couldn't help but resist at a critical time, what should he do if he hurt people's lives? Isn't it killing? This is a taboo in Buddhism! How can you explain to your father Khan if you don't go into battle? Is it greed for life and fear of death or is it unwilling to serve the country?
Elder Zhengming said: "Although this war is ostensibly a crusade against the Ming Dynasty by the Holy Lord, it is actually a change in the heavens, and the Ming Dynasty's qi is about to run out, and this is not up to anyone. Since you have returned to the world, you must conform to the affairs of the world, and as the son of the Great Khan, you cannot but go. You are not charging into battle, you are just guarding the Great Khan, if there is a situation that really hurts the Great Khan, you must come to the rescue, you can only defend and not attack, try not to hurt people's lives. ”
Fuyou immediately understood what to do. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to see Master Gan Lin, thinking that this was impossible, who knows where he is now?
Elder Zhengming seemed to know what Fuyou was thinking, and said with a smile, "You will meet Master Ganlin." ”
Fuyou said to Elder Zhengming that he was puzzled: "Master, why do you want your disciples to change to another sect? Is the disciple doing something wrong? ”
"Huikong, you know the saying that leaves fall to the roots, right? For example, if you are a child of the Zhang family, do you want to be in the Zhang family? You have a relationship with Lao Gu, so you grow up in this gate until you are eighteen years old, and here you are not practicing Buddha but worshiping Buddha. If you want to attain the right results, you have to cultivate in your own Fa, which is the path you have to take, not any other way. Do you understand? Huikong seemed to understand something. But I can't see Master Gan Lin's face, so how can I ask him for advice? Elder Zhengming said, "Didn't Master Gan Lin tell you what you should do? ”
"That's it?"
"One sentence is enough for you to work hard for a lifetime. Master Gan Lin has a lot of things, and he wants to save sentient beings. But he won't forget about you, a disciple, and he will naturally come when you need him, so don't worry. ”
Farewell to Elder Zhengming, Fuyou and Zhao guards returned to the palace, along the way, Zhao guards saw that the master was silent, so he persuaded him: "What about you, you have left the temple, and there is not much time to worship the Buddha and chant scriptures in the future, so let's think more about making meritorious contributions." ”
"Meritorious service is a lifelong thing, and getting rid of the sea of suffering is an eternal thing. Wealth and glory are fleeting, life does not bring death, and it is the right thing to take a path to truth. ”
Guard Zhao looked at his master in surprise: "How can you say such profound words at such a young age?" ”
Back in the dormitory, Mrs. Jinxiu greeted Fuyou: "What's wrong with the second brother?" Not happy, right? ”
"What's the matter, the second brother is thinking about the elder's words. You seem to be happy? ”
"Yes, Jinxiu asked his father Khan to participate in the war, and his father Khan agreed, can't you think of it? Xiu'er can have the opportunity to meet her husband on the battlefield. ”
Fuyou opened his mouth wide in surprise: "What are you talking about?" Do you want to go to war? Father Khan also agreed? How is this possible? It is taboo for women to go to the battlefield. ”
"Xiu'er is not spurring the horse into the enemy group, but doing some battlefield ambulance, as much as possible so that the injured brother who has just been carried down will not die of bloodshed, and stopping the bleeding in time can save one fresh life after another, isn't it? In Buddhism, saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, how many lives are waiting for rescue on the battlefield? Women are attentive by nature, and they must be thoughtful in caring for their wounded brothers, and their injuries will heal quickly, killing two birds with one stone. Second brother, forgive Xiu'er for not discussing with you. Good no good? Jinxiu threw herself into Fuyou's arms and said not unapologetically. 、
What can Fuyou blame her? What is the difference between such a woman and the ancient Mulan?
"How could you have such an idea?"
"When my grandfather led the soldiers, he had a lady soldier in his army, a young woman who specialized in ambulance and care for wounded soldiers, and played a great role. Besides, our Tong family also has a family heirloom hemostatic powder and daily medicines for the treatment of heat stroke, diarrhea, cold and flu, which solves a lot of embarrassment because of not thinking well in advance. ”
"Xiu'er, the second brother thank you for my father!"
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband." Jinxiu said with a smile.
Fuyou reminded Jinxiu: "You, don't you feel pregnant in your womb?" If you're happy, you can't go! ”
"How? We have been married for more than half a year, and there is no news about Xiu'er's stomach, and I am very anxious. Second brother, is there anything wrong with Xiu'er? Sorry ......"
"Look at it, don't you think about it again? The second brother didn't mean to complain about you, just to remind you not to be negligent. This war is not a matter of three days or two days, how to give birth to a child on the battlefield? That's no joke! ”
"Second brother, your heart is so careful, you can think of this."
"You're not my daughter-in-law. Xiu'er, when you get to the battlefield, your eyes and ears must be flexible, you can't have a trace of negligence, you have to cherish your life, it's not easy for people to come in the world, you can be reincarnated into a person for hundreds of years, why don't you take yourself seriously? Of course, at critical moments and critical occasions, you can't be afraid of death. “”
"Second brother, don't worry, I will take care of myself for you, and you also have to take care of your embroidery!"
"That's for sure. How many of your women soldiers participated? Who are they? ”
"There are dozens of people, there are family members of officers like me, and there are also palace maids who participate, all of them are palace maids who have no masters, young and in good health. Xiu'er is still a head. ”
In October of the fifth year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji led the Houjin and Mongolian troops of about 100,000 people, avoided the strong defense line of the famous general Yuan Chonghuan of the Ming Dynasty in Jinzhou and Ningyuan, detoured to Liaoxi, passed through the Mongolian Harashen Department, and took the weak link of the Ming Dynasty's border defense, Jimen, and soon broke through the three Great Wall passes west of Xifengkou: Da'ankou, Longjing Pass, and Malanyu. Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, hurriedly sent the former commander-in-chief Zhao to the rescue, and in early November, he fought a fierce battle with the Manchurian and Mongolian iron cavalry under the city of Zunhua.
When the Ming army and Huang Taiji's army were in close contact and melee together, Big Brother Haoge and his men and horses rushed into the enemy group without hesitation, wielding sharp blades and fighting face to face with the Ming army. Fuyou, as the personal guard of his father Khan, followed Huang Taiji inch by inch. At the same time, there are hundreds of people in the Royal Forest Army to protect Huang Taiji. They watched from a flat-topped hill on low terrain. Suddenly, a group of people and horses were killed on the high mountain behind him, about a thousand people, and one of the leaders shouted: "Kill! One of the two people in yellow clothes is the Tartar Emperor! Capture them alive! ”
Not only did they stand on their feet, but they also pushed down countless boulders and shot countless arrows, and the unprepared soldiers of the Imperial Guards only cared about dodging the stones and arrows, and for a moment they were out of order. Fuyou used his iron rod to pluck away the arrows, pry the big stone down the hill with an iron rod, and said to the Zhao guards: "Quick! You protect your father Khan, get out of here! ”
The sudden arrival of men and horses rushed down the hill and melee with the blessed Foresters.
Zhao Yong knew that Brother Fuyou was also wearing yellow clothes, and he had prepared in advance: when it was absolutely necessary, he would use himself to lead away the enemy! Can't hesitate, he opened a bloody road, protected Huang Taiji's retreat, and left Fuyou in the midst of the siege. Because the melee was together, the arrows and rolling stones did not work, and the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army saw that Ah Ge was so brave and fearless, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy. I saw that one of Fuyou's iron rods was as whirring as Sun Wukong's Ruyi golden hoop stick, and he didn't smash the iron rod on anyone's head at all, otherwise I don't know how many people's brains would burst. The sneak attack of the Ming army recognized him as the Great Khan of the Qing Dynasty and bit it. What a fight! If it weren't for the blessing of Shaolin Kung Fu, it would be really dangerous enough to be outnumbered by such enemies. Although his martial arts are powerful, he is surrounded by many people, and it is inevitable that he will not be injured by color. As the saying goes: A good tiger is hard to defeat a pack of wolves, at this time, Fuyou's front chest and back are all knife wounds cut by Ming soldiers, and the cotton clothes on his body are blooming, and he is covered in blood.
At this time, the battle on the main battlefield was nearing the end, and the eldest brother Hauge was worried about the safety of his father Khan, and when he looked back, he was startled, and called his subordinates: "Follow me!" "Riding his horse and pounced on Fuyou, who was surrounded by many people. This scene is really as the saying goes: brothers in battle, father and son in battle.
With the reinforcements of his brother, Fuyou is like a tiger with wings, and the battle is more fierce. He didn't care if he couldn't touch anyone, he just wanted his father Khan to leave farther away and be safer. Hauge looked at his brother's stab wounds and knew he couldn't let him fight again. So he said loudly: "Second child, go down quickly!" Big brother, I can deal with them! ”、
When the Ming army heard that it was not the Great Khan of the Qing Dynasty, everyone knew that Huang Taiji was ranked the eighth and not the second, and the age was not right. And they themselves suffered heavy losses, and one of the generals at the head shouted: "Brothers, you have been fooled, withdraw!" ”
Hauge also had no intention of fighting, because he saw that his brother was no longer able to support it.
When the Ming army withdrew, Fuyou also fell from his horse. Hauge yelled badly, dismounted and picked up his brother, and shouted to the soldiers: "Doctor! Call the military doctor! ”
When Hauge hugged his younger brother Fuyou's body, his hands were immediately slimy, and when he pulled out his hand, it was full of blood!
Rao is Haoge, who has gone through countless bloody blade fights, and the tears of the general Haoge, who is as strong as iron, also rolled down in large pieces, and shouted: "Second brother, second brother, hold on, the military doctor will be here soon!" Looking at his younger brother's handsome and pale face, Hauge resented his father for the first time in his heart: "People are living well in the temple, why do you get it back!" ”
