Chapter 767 Harvest

The Long family belongs to the big family on the front line of Dunhuang. )

The Long family mainly deals in porcelain and tea, but also deals in jewelry.

Many families of the big merchants in the Western Regions ran these businesses, buying beautiful porcelain and fine tea from the Central Plains, trafficking them to the West, and then buying jewelry from the Western Regions and Damascus swords, and trafficking them back to the Central Plains. However, each family has a focus, some focus on salt and iron, some focus on silk cotton, some focus on grain and rice, and the scale of other families in the tea and porcelain industry is far from comparable with the Long family.

The head of this generation of the Long family is Longer,

Long Ge is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, just in the prime of life, with an angular face, resolute and tough, he does things like his looks, vigorous and resolute, once he makes a decision, there is no advance or retreat, and he will never give up until he reaches his goal. Originally, this kind of xìng grid lacked tactfulness and was not suitable for business, but the environment of doing business in the Western Regions was different from that of the Central Plains, and it was useless to make money in harmony here, and the guarantee of doing business was absolute force.

The Long family's horse team has about 2,000 people, all of whom are fierce and brave men from the Western Regions, as well as swordsmen from Bōs, Dashi and other places, this is a team composed of absolute outlaws, and even a swarm of bee and horse thieves in Barcelona are not willing to provoke them easily, so the Long family's business in the Western Regions has always been smooth.

Although Long Ge is young, the Nian clan has been doing business for many years, and many things are on the track, and there is no need for him to personally throw his head in person, unless it is a major matter that is difficult to decide, his subordinates will naturally do it according to the rules of the past, and there is no need to ask him, so Long Ge's life is very leisurely.

In the afternoon, Long Ge called the two brothers back to the mansion, the Long family is a big family, the Ming and the Timur Empire are about to go to war, they must take precautions and prepare early.

The three brothers discussed secretly in the study for a long time, and the two younger brothers were about to say goodbye and leave, when someone suddenly knocked on Mén outside and hurriedly called: "Uncle, our mansion is surrounded."

The three brothers jumped up, and Long Ge asked in surprise: "Who dares to surround our Long family?" ”

The people outside: "I don't know, these people don't have a banner." A few of our brothers stepped forward and were killed on the spot by luàn arrows."

Longer suddenly changed, regardless of the reason, first luàn arrow shè killed the samurai in the house, this is clearly going to die, no matter who comes, now can only fight by force. Without saying a word, Lunger leaped to the wall with an arrow and reached out to take off a sword.

Although the Long family is rich and rivals the country, but Long Geer does not like the golden pearl yù treasure, he likes the famous sword and famous knife, he has a collection of sharp knives in his study, and what he took off at this time is a Damascus treasure knife, which is the snow huā iron knife that the Central Plains said to sharpen iron like mud.

His two younger brothers did not slack off, and each took a knife from the wall, and the three brothers snatched it in.

"Uncle, second master and third master, ...... outside"

It was the steward of the house who spoke, and before he finished speaking, there were already screams and shouts outside.

This is the back house, even the back house has sounded the sound of shouting and fighting, the strong enemy has clearly invaded the house, the three brothers rushed into the courtyard with knives, and the family members who heard the news all ran out, luàn made a ball of porridge. The three brothers couldn't take care of them for a while, the horse team of the Long family was brave and good at fighting, although the guards left in the house were only more than 200 people, but they were the jīng rui of jīng rui, as soon as they heard the warning signal, they were already fully armored, gave up the front yard, and rushed to the back house to protect the head of the house.

The Western Regions is a place of movement, and even this Dunhuang city is not very peaceful, so the large households of Hao Mén have sī soldiers to protect the courtyard, and its scale is like a small army. In the Central Plains, of course, this is not allowed, but in the Western Regions, it is allowed to bring your own spears, crossbows, bows and horses. At a cursory glance, the guards gathered in the back house showed that there were nearly 200 people, all of them wearing sharp armor, carrying strong bows and carrying quivers, and they were murderous.

Lunger raised his eyebrows and commanded, "Take the horses quickly, go out of the city, and join the horses."

More than 2,000 people in the Longjia horse team lived in their own horse farm not far from Dunhuang, and now the enemy did not talk about the reason at all, and had already started a fight, leaving nòng to understand that it was a self-defeating way, and Longer immediately decided to break through the siege and get out of the city. As for the wife and concubine, the family is young and even the old mother, they can't take care of it, the world is not as good as a dog, as long as he lives, his strength is still there, even if the family falls into the hands of others, there is no worry about life, if the power of the Long family is uprooted, then everything is not mentioned.

As soon as they heard the order, the two hundred well-trained guards of the Sī people obeyed the orders of the master of the family, and immediately retracted the encirclement again, abandoning the panicked and crying NV people and children, and protected the three Longer brothers in the middle, formed a cone-shaped sharp formation, and quickly moved towards the back house corridor.

The Long family has a big business, and the mansion is also very spacious, leaving the mansion behind, it is an empty mansion, the high courtyard wall is flanked by a built horse corridor, and the open space in the middle should be a huā garden in summer, but at the moment it is covered with snow. The guards escorted the three brothers and quickly moved to the corridor, and just halfway through, several figures suddenly jumped up on the high walls on both sides.

The guards of the Long family, who had already been alert, immediately drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows were scattered, and without thinking about it, they rushed towards the few black shadows that jumped up.

The reaction was really fast, and they were definitely first-class archers, but when the arrows went out, they found that the shadows were a little fluttering, and it turned out that they were just a few cloaks that had been thrown into the air, and then, the gunshots rang out like fried beans, and the shì guard who was shot stained his clothes with blood, and fell to the ground screaming.

In this kind of environment, you can see the power of firearms, the fence is very high, in order to prevent thieves, the wall in the backyard is full of seven or eight feet, although you can't climb it with your bare hands, without the help of equipment, it is difficult for others to jump down. The people outside were lying on the wall, firing bullets for a long time, without worrying that they would rush to the front and start a ròu fight with them.

And they lie on the wall, send a shot and go down the gun, and someone below hands a fire gun filled with fire and guns, the yard is full of people, raise their hands and put the gun is, they suffer very little damage, if it is changed to a bow and arrow, it is impossible to do this, they have to lean out of the wall at least half of their body, in order to open the bow shè arrow, they have become the opponent's arrow target.

Of course, there are also firearms in the Western Regions, but there are very few weapons in the army, and when encountering battles in the field, sporadic firearms and equipment have no effect at all, but now an army with a large number of firearms has suddenly appeared, and in such an environment where the advantages of firearms can be fully played, they can only aimlessly release arrows, and batches of bullets fall.

They wanted to retreat to the back house, relying on the building of the house, and engage in street battles with the invading enemy, but in such a short time, because they all retreated to the back yard, the front yard, the atrium, and the back house were occupied, and a large number of freshly armored troops pounced on the back yard, and the big shields and spears formed an impermeable defensive line, which had firmly blocked their retreat route.

"Bang ......"

The guns kept ringing, those brave and good fighters of the Dragon Mansion were useless, and the small shields in their hands could not stop the bullets, they were like wheat that had been cut down, falling down in batches, and the originally cone-shaped team gradually turned into a circle, which was cut down layer by layer, and the screams came and went, and the ground was full of corpses.

Longer's heart was like a knife, and he cried out bitterly: "Why? Why? Whose army are you coming out to talk?"

No one accosted, only the sound of gunfire kept ringing out.

The gunfire gradually became scarce, and finally stopped completely, and the third brother of Longer was also shot and fell, and he and Lao 2 were guarded by the remnants of seven or eight shì guards, standing in a circle among the corpses lying in a pool of blood, like an island in the middle of the raging sand. Lunger was trembling with his knife in his hand, his eyes red, and he slowly raised his head and looked at the wall.

The wall was filled with smoke, and although the wind was blowing, it was impossible to see clearly for a while, and at this time, the spearmen and shields pressed forward in a dense turn.

The soldiers marched forward in a neat pace, like a wall, and then bent into a circle, enclosing them in the middle. It is surrounded by a surface frame embedded in each other, forming a wall-like iron shield, and between the gaps are spear tips that stick out more than three feet long.

"Whose men are you? Why did you want to kill my dragon family? Why? ”

Longer's voice was like a cuckoo crying blood, and his desperate grief and anger had made him lose the strength to be angry, and he only wanted to understand the identity of the other party now, otherwise he would really be blind.

There was only one word to answer him: "kill"

The barrel-shaped shield array suddenly shrank again, and countless spears poked out from between the cracks in the shield, but like poisonous snakes spitting letters, they suddenly poked out three feet more.

"Puff ......"

The blade entered his body, blood splashed everywhere, and Longger's eyes widened, and he was pierced by countless spears from all directions, so that he stood in place, steady, and never fell. His eyes widened, and he didn't know who had killed him until he died

Outside the city of Dunhuang, the Longjia horse farm was surrounded by heavy troops, and then they showed the heads of the three brothers of the Long family to the leader of the Longjia horse team in the confrontation, and the besieged 2,000 Longjia jīng horsemen saw that the head of the family was dead, and were forced to abandon their weapons and surrender.

The Long family was confiscated, the gold and silver, the books and documents, and all the wealth were confiscated, and all the children were sold into slavery.

Immediately, the Long family's shops, fields, outer houses, and Xiazhuang were also confiscated one by one by Shazhou Wei Kunji.

Dunhuang Longjia has since become history, and soon, like countless monuments submerged under the yellow sand, will never be seen again.

Yang Xu, the imam of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Western Regions, announced that the Long family had secretly colluded with the notorious horse thieves to harm the local area and had been punished.

Just one day later, Han Dongwei's Sunan led his troops to cleanse the Ling Yunting Ling family with blood, on a similar charge as the Long family, and added a crime: Sī Tong was stationed in the Timur army stationed in Méng Gustan. Xia Xun, who already had the right to speak politically, after mastering the religious discourse of the first major religion in the Western Regions, the Great Purge began......
