Chapter 25 Hou Dagou
Chapter 25 Hou Dagou
Although the Ming army has a lot of advantages in long-range firepower, the Hakka earthen fort is a dock fort, and it is not too easy to pull it down.
A burst of artillery suppressed the Yao people and couldn't raise their heads, and then the Ming army landed in the city, and the two sides fell into hand-to-hand combat.
Generally speaking, when the battle is fought to this point, the morale of one side collapses, and it can be over.
But that's not the case here.
In the hearts of the Ming army, they probably felt that they were magnanimous enough, but in the hearts of the Yao people, the credit of the Ming government had long been bankrupt. They didn't believe a word about the Ming government.
Therefore, this battle lasted until after sunset, and the Ming army invested one or two thousand people before and after, while on the Yaomin side, there were only about two thousand people, but they were counted as old and weak women and children, men, women and children.
Almost every woman or child of them would go into battle with a sword.
When the Ming army finally blasted open the gate of the village, it was when the strong men in the village were almost dead.
In the end, a few people persuaded Hou Dagou to leave quickly, there were still a few secret passages in the village, Hou Dagou shook his head and said: "The government is making a big move this time, and if there is no gain, it will not give up." ”
"Let the kids go quickly, I'll deal with them."
Hou Dagou wants to make his head the harvest of the government, and if he wants to come to the government to get the bandit leader, he will naturally not chase after it. In the deep mountains of Datengxia, there are many places where the Han people will never go.
The government still has to leave here in the end.
At that time, these Yao people will eventually grow up, as if he also escaped under Gu Xingzu's butcher's knife.
It seems to be a reincarnation.
Hou Dagou sent the best dozens of children into the secret passage, holding a big knife in both hands, and shouted loudly: "I am Hou Dagou, who will kill me?" ”
The name Hou Dagou immediately stimulated the nerves of the Ming army who didn't know how many people.
This is the first achievement.
Suddenly, countless Ming troops pounced, and Hou Dagou was also old, living up to the courage of the year, but after a few rounds, he was pressed under him.
However, even so, Hou Dagou still has the ability to commit suicide.
It's just that he can't kill himself.
He was worried, he died and no one recognized him.
This is not unusual, because Da Ming has done such a thing. Only by reporting the name and letting the government be strict and upright can he die.
It's ironic to say, but sometimes that's it.
lest it be inappropriate to send it to death.
Soon Hou Dagou was suppressed and went to see Dong Xing.
Dong Xing was also overjoyed.
In his opinion, this is a double happiness, on the one hand, he has an errand to escort the prince, as long as he does a good job, he can leave his name on the prince's side.
On the other hand, the start of the war won the jackpot.
It is true that Dong Xing also knew that the place he attacked was the territory of the Hou family, but it was the territory of the Hou family, and it was a completely different concept from capturing Hou Dagou.
He was overjoyed, and immediately sent Hou Dagou to Zhu Jianjun to ask for credit.
Although Zhu Jianjun said that he would not intervene in this war. But as long as the crown prince remembers his name, it is even better.
Zhu Jianjun never expected that the fight would go so smoothly that almost in the blink of an eye, the bandit leader was captured.
Zhu Jianjun's curiosity won for a while, and he decided to interrogate this Hou Dagou.
So in the camp that had just been built, Zhu Jianjun sat in the right position, more than a dozen armor soldiers looked around, Hou Dagou was heavily smashed on the ground, someone kicked him on the back leg from behind, and he could only staggered and knelt on the ground.
Zhu Jianjun didn't ask directly, but Yu Mian asked sharply at one time: "Bold thief, why is it the opposite?" ”
When Hou Dagou heard someone ask like this, he suddenly had a very similar feeling, glanced up slightly, and said with a little contempt in his tone: "Ask me why I rebelled, why don't you ask Daming how he treats Yaomin?" ”
"We Yao people can't even enter the city, no matter what we sell, we will be raised by profiteers layer by layer, a family can not sell a little salt in a year, as for the Han people, we don't treat our Yao people as people, the Lang people in the west come to beat us, we win, and the result is that we rebelled. The government will encircle and suppress it. ”
"We won a few battles, but the government said that we wanted to appease them."
"I will never forget that day, thirty years ago, the whole village was happy, saying that it was the imperial court to appease, and my family was also a toast after that, and after becoming a toast, I went into the city to sell salt and ironware, and I could have a price with the Han people."
"Abba took all the warriors in the stockade to meet the general of the Han people, and took away all the gold, silver, and jade in the stockade, and wanted to pay tribute to the general."
"And they never came back?"
"All the strong men of my Hou family have been buried. The Han people are so despicable and shameless. I ended up like this today, I have no regrets, I just hate that I can't kill a few more Han people. ”
This is the eternal pain in Hou Dagou's heart, and he didn't want to survive at this moment, so he naturally shouted and scolded.
Zhu Jianjun heard this, but he never expected this thing.
Zhu Jianjun turned around and asked Zhang Mao, "Who are you talking about?" ”
After all, Zhang Mao is Zhang Fu, and he is very clear about the affairs of the army, and said in a low voice: "Gu Xingzu, the former marquis of Zhenyuan." ”
Zhu Jianjun said: "Gu Xingzu should die. ”
Of course, Gu Xingzu is dead. Zhu Jianjun couldn't wait to resurrect Gu Xingzu underground and kill him again. The military discipline of the Ming Dynasty was not too good in the first place.
There are also many things to kill, such as Shi Heng, the number of kills and surrenders he has definitely not been less than Gu Xingzu, but Gu Xingzu has made such a big sequelae that Han Yong doesn't know how many times he has been appeased, and he can only get some small fish and shrimp to lead the way.
Not to mention, the Yao people and the people nearby died because of this.
In Zhu Jianjun's opinion, these people are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, looking at this tragic situation, he has been holding his breath in his heart, and he is venting on Gu Xingzu at this moment.
Zhu Jianjun said: "Hou Dagou, do you want to live?" ”
Hou Dagou sneered and said, "I don't want to, I just want to die quickly." ”
Zhu Jianjun was choked for a while. He said: "I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I promised you, I will definitely be able to do it, the general who deceived you at the beginning has now been executed." You don't think for yourself, but you think about the people of the mountains. I might as well tell you that the imperial court used 200,000 troops to enter the mountains in five ways, and what you encountered was only one way, and you will lose this battle, but after defeat, what will it look like, but it depends on how you choose. ”
Hou Dagou just said: "It's good to die." It's good to die. For Zhu Jianjun's other words, he didn't seem to listen to anything.
However, Zhu Jianjun didn't lie to him, although Gu Xingzu was not executed for killing and surrendering, but because he abandoned the army in the Battle of Maoerzhuang and was executed.
Zhu Jianjun still wanted to persuade again, but Yu Mian said: "Your Highness, it's useless to talk more now, you might as well wait until after the big war." ”
Zhu Jianjun understood that such a thing was not something he could decide with a word, he was just here to watch the battle, and he could not overstep his responsibilities and handle affairs on behalf of local officials.
Of course, it's okay to make an impact.
It all takes a process.
Zhu Jianjun waved his hand and said, "Suppress him, so that you can see the pressure." There must be no mistake, and he wants to live. ”
The left and right immediately agreed and pressed Hou Dagou down.
Zhu Jianjun sat on the chair and couldn't help but scold again: "Gu Xingzu is damned." "If Gu Xingzu had handled it properly, why would he have been fighting for more than a few years now.
The more Zhu Jianjun thought about it, the more annoyed he became, but what he heard was just Hou Dagou's words. Among them, the internal plan is not as simple as Gu Xingzu's greed for merit and killing.
Hou Dagou was pressed out of the big tent and arranged a small wooden house to guard him alone. When there was no one around, the complicated emotions in Hou Dagou's heart were revealed from his gaze.
Whether he hates Daming or not, he naturally hates, and if he can kill all the Ming people, he will not be soft. But he has led Yaomin for so many years, so he naturally still has some vision.
He clearly knew that the size of Yao Min and Da Ming was completely different, and no matter how well Yao Min played on the battlefield, the result would not change.
In fact, he also has the heart to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty, that is, based on the reality of the situation, hatred is important, but hatred cannot be eaten.
But the two sides have such a deep hatred that it is impossible to build mutual trust, not to mention those who oppose reconciliation internally.
Can this be done now?
Hou Dagou didn't know either.
