305 Niujiazhuang (9/11)
Where Haizhou Wei is located, there were originally many villages around it. However, when the Jianyu attacked, especially in the Nurhachi era, countless Han people were killed, so the villages around Haizhouwei were basically left with broken walls, and after many years, the grass grew, but you can still vaguely see that there were villages in these places before.
Forty miles west of Haizhou City, the place near the Liao River is called Niuzhuang Station, also called Niujiazhuang, and it is one of the few Zhuangzi that still exists. It's just that regardless of popularity or scale, it is not at the same level at all compared to before Jianyu began to wreak havoc in Liaodong.
At that time, it was a major transportation route, and people from the north and south had to pass through here, so it was very popular. Even twenty miles away from here, they spontaneously gathered into Xiaojiatun and Shijingpu.
And now, the ruins of Xiaojiatun and Shijingpu have been submerged in the barren grass. Even this Niujiazhuang has become a thing. Now the master of the house here is Jianyu. Then each household was given a Han coat to cultivate and take care of the crops for them.
In the shed in the field outside Niujiazhuang, several Jianyu are drinking tea and chatting here, while supervising the Han people who are busy in the field.
"It's really boring, if it weren't for this crippled leg, I really want to continue to go to the battlefield to fight Mingguo! That's a comfortable day! ”
"But no, now these Han people have learned to be obedient, and they have no idea of escaping, whether we are there or not, it is impossible for them to escape!"
"Yes, I remember when I was young, I had to guard the fields with knives and guns, and closely monitor those Han people. If one is not careful, they will dare to run! ”
"At that time, they had a Dongjiang town to run, but now, hehe, even Jinzhou and Ningyuan are from our Qing Dynasty, where else can they run?"
"Haha, even those Ming dogs in Dongjiang Town are now working for my Qing Dynasty. Speaking of which, it's really ironic! If you knew this was the case, why did you have to fight us in the first place? ”
"Actually, it's not surprising that sooner or later there will be such a day. Think about it, when I was young, I dared to chase a group of Ming soldiers alone. Ah, I really miss the days of those days! ”
“……”
They were chatting in the shed, and the Han people who were working in the fields were clothed, but suddenly there was a commotion.
The Jianyu in this shed looked and saw a Han man lying on the ground, and two companions squatting there talking with a little anxious expression.
When one of them saw it, he stood up and patted his buttocks and said, "It's really unlucky, it seems that I have one less Han coat again!" ”
"That's a real deal." When another Jianyu heard this, he took over the topic and said, "These Han people are all captured by Prince Shuorui when Chongde entered the customs in the third year. It's been seven years since Chongde, and I guess it's time to enter the customs again, right? ”
Hearing this, the Jianyu who stood up first was not in a hurry to see the situation, and continued to chat: "A few days ago, didn't the cavalry be transferred from Haizhou City? I guess you're ready to enter the customs, right? ”
"Really, that's a good thing, I hope it's more rewarding this time. In this way, we can divide more Hannu down, and we can divide more food, and Hannu can live longer. ”
Jianyu, who was standing, nodded, then shook the whip in his hand and walked to the ground, his face turned hideous at the same time, and he shouted: "What are you doing around, do you want to be lazy, don't you want to eat whips?" ”
Hearing this, the Han people around immediately dispersed and continued to work. Only one of them was still squatting there, shouting with a sad voice: "Brother, brother, wake up, don't leave me, woo woo, brother......"
With a "snap", this Jianyu waved his whip and made a shocking sound, and at the same time said fiercely: "What, itchy, dare not listen to my master?" ”
When the man heard this, he turned his head to look at it, burst into tears, and looked at this Jianyu and cried and begged: "Please, master, give me some gruel, my brother gave me all the food, he fainted from hunger." If he dies, won't there be one less master to work? ”
This Jianlu had a cold face, of course he didn't want the Hannu in his hand to die so quickly. However, he didn't have much food in his hand, so he waved his whip again, made a "snap" sound, and shouted: "Who gave you the courage to dare to ask your master?" Don't hurry up and get to work! ”
The man didn't move, he still knelt beside the man on the ground, but he moved down slightly, kowtowed to this Jianyu repeatedly, and cried at the same time: "My brother is not dead yet, he is really just hungry, as long as the master rewards a bite to eat, he will definitely be able to do a lot of work for the master!" Master......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "pop". This time, the whip hit him on the body, and he fell to the ground in pain. On the ragged back, a blood-colored whip mark was clearly visible.
Needless to say, this whip is the answer given by this Jianyu. There is no food, there is a whip.
The Han man Bao Yi struggled to get up, knelt there, turned his head to look at his brother who was still not moving, and then turned his head and looked up at the Jianlu, his eyes full of despair and hatred.
Seeing this look, this Jianyu was shocked.
He hadn't seen such a look in a long time.
When he came back to his senses, his face suddenly showed a fierce light, and the hand holding the leather whip was visibly tightened, and it was obvious that he was going to teach this slave a hard lesson.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and heard the movement, which seemed to be the sound of many horses, so he turned his head in curiosity.
I saw that on the official road not far away, a group of knights, about fifty or sixty horsemen, were coming from the west to Niujiazhuang.
Seeing this, he was a little curious, didn't he say that the cavalry of Haizhou City had been transferred? Where did this come from, could it be Ning Jin's side?
The few remaining prisoners in the shed also saw the cavalry coming over on the official road, and they were all curious, and they all stood up to greet them.
The Jianlu on the ground remembered whether he was going to enter the customs, which was related to whether he would have a Han slave in the future, and whether he would have a grain share, so he also cared, so he didn't care about cleaning up the Han slave in front of him, and he wouldn't run anyway, so he went to the official road to ask about the situation first.
By the time he walked over, the two prisoners who had stepped first to the official road had already been talking to the one who was the leader of the cavalry, using Jurchen dialect, really talking about the transfer of troops.
So, he quickly quickened his pace and walked over. However, when he just walked to the official road, he heard one of the Jianyu suddenly exclaim, "Who are you?" Those people don't look like each other at all! You guys...... You are ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that someone in the cavalry team stabbed him with a shot, directly into the mouth of the building prisoner, and stabbed the words back.
When the other knights saw this scene, they did not hesitate, and immediately attacked several Jianyu in front of them with the weapons in their hands.
This situation happened suddenly, and when he was caught off guard, not a single prisoner escaped, he was either stabbed to death, or he was directly cut in two, and his head flew in the sky.
The Han people who were working in the fields were wrapping clothes, and a few people were peeking at the situation on the official road, and when they saw this scene, they were so shocked that their jaws were about to fall to the ground, and the hoe in their hands was not held.
The group of knights on the official road immediately had their horses galloping, apparently trying to outflank the people in the fields and prevent them from escaping.
When the knight who was talking to Jianyu just now saw it, he shouted in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty: "They are not Jianyu, they are all the people in the Guannai who were plundered by Jianyu!" ”
As soon as these words were shouted, the Han people who heard it in the fields were immediately stunned.
What do you mean? This is the imperial court?
They are not stupid, these people just killed those Jianyu masters, and then shouted in the official language of the Ming Dynasty, the meaning revealed in these words should be the officials and soldiers of the imperial court!
However, after so many years, the official army of the imperial court has never appeared in Liaodong!
Don't say that he was plundered to Liaodong from the eleventh year of Chongzhen, even before, I haven't heard of it!
While they were in a daze, these cavalry troops, who looked like the Jianyu cavalry, had already surrounded them.
One of the horsemen seemed a little curious, so he asked, "What's wrong with him, he was killed by Jianyu?" ”
The accent of the speech was a little strange, but the person kneeling on the ground could hear it, it was the accent of Qin Di in Guan Nei. The man he was referring to was his brother.
As soon as he thought of this, this man immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly begged: "Guys, who has something to eat, can you give me something to eat, my brother is hungry and faint!" ”
Of course, he spoke in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, but the accent was Shandong.
Hearing this, the man who had just spoken wanted to untie the bag of dry food on his body, but he quickly stopped, turned the kettle and threw it to the kneeling man on the ground and said, "Let him drink some water first, as long as he can drink it, it means that there is still salvation!" ”
Obviously, he still has some experience with people who faint from hunger.
When the kneeling man on the ground heard this, he didn't care to thank him, and hurriedly picked up the kettle and was about to pour it into his brother's mouth. However, the water could not be poured into it at all, and the man was so anxious that he cried: "Brother, drink quickly, take a sip, just take a sip!" Woo woo, brother ......"
Immediately the man saw this, shook his head, turned over and dismounted, snatched the kettle from the man's hand, and pinched the man's middle on the ground, then pinched his mouth, poured some water into his mouth, and then pinched the man, and rescued him.
The kneeling man looked at a state of utterance, and was very frightened, and watched as the knight rescued his brother. Suddenly, he saw his brother's Adam's apple move and swallowed the water, and suddenly, he cried excitedly, and said while crying: "My brother is saved, my brother is saved......"
Then the knight threw the jug to him and stood himself.
"My lord, what should you do with these people?" One of the people on the side asked.
His words immediately made these Han people immediately nervous.
