Section XX
The raging fire burned for a whole day and night, until the heavy snow fell, it gradually extinguished, the winter solstice in the north, all the corpses everywhere were covered in a white expanse, this war that lasted for several months, all sides suffered heavy casualties, and I don't know how many soldiers were buried in the homeland.
Braving the bitter cold wind, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han and Mongolian armies were fully armed and lined up in the east field of Beining, but this time it was no longer a life-and-death struggle, but an alliance between the two armies.
Bulyagma's appearance surprised Lin Feng a little, originally in his imagination, this sinister and cunning guy should be a very gloomy look, but after seeing people, he knew that it was a big mistake, this Mongolian prince was extremely tall and burly, and his physique was also very rough, and he had a huge voice when he spoke, and he especially liked to laugh rudely, with his beard, people thought he was a reckless man, but at this time, of course, no one dared to think so, In fact, every time Lin Feng thinks of forming an alliance with this guy, his hair stands on end, and the Eight Banners Army next to him is the best example, as the saying goes, most politicians don't talk about faith, but it is still very rare to turn their faces so quickly and attack so ruthlessly, looking at this honest ally, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect that our Mongolian compatriots would also fall so quickly, haven't these steppe eagles always been known for their frankness and heartiness before?!
"His Royal Highness the King of Han, your reputation has spread all over the grassland," Seeing that Lin Feng seemed to be a little restrained, Buryagma patted him on the shoulder cordially, and put on an elder's posture, "It's really terrifying, when this king is as old as you, he can't even shoot a wolf!" β
"Where, where, the prince is too polite," Lin Feng glanced at him with some surprise, this guy's Chinese is really first-class, I thought he would say what lamb calf or young eagle and other dialogues full of national flavor, but I didn't expect to be skilled polite words as soon as I got started, "The prince is the overlord of the grassland, with hundreds of thousands of armor in his jurisdiction, and his mighty name is known all over the world, and he has always admired it very much!" β
"Hehe, my tent was left to me by my ancestors, but the palace of the King of Han was built by himself, if you say the word hero, I can't compare to you!" Buryagma looked at Lin Feng with a smile, his eyes were kind and kind, like a loyal elder, "This time, with a mere 20,000 troops, an expedition of thousands of miles, the whole army was wiped out, so powerful!" β
"Luck, luck!" Lin Feng smiled and said, "If it weren't for the help of the prince, it would be difficult to say who would have been wiped out!" β
"King Han is really humble!" After the politeness was over, Buryagmar smiled and immediately turned to the topic, "This time, the evil wolf of Geldan came with a large army to plot the foundation of our Korqin and the Great Han, I don't know if the King of Han has any way?!" β
"This war, my brother is not very good at it, and the Mongolian iron cavalry is invincible in the world, and we Han people are definitely not opponents, so this idea, of course, has to be taken by your old man!" Seeing that he was to the point, Lin Feng didn't dare to slack off, and said cautiously, "Your family has been crisscrossing the grassland for decades, what scene haven't you seen?" If you want to come to a mere Geldan, it is definitely not a problem, in fact, this time to be able to form an alliance with the prince, it is really a great honor to be in the future, so if you have any orders, just order it, this king must only look forward to the prince! β
Buryagma couldn't help but shake her head and said with a wry smile, "The afterlife is terrifying, it's really terrifying!" Seeing Lin Feng smiling and don't turn his head to pretend not to hear, he coughed dryly, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, this time the Geldan army is coming, although there are many people and horses, but our Horqin may not be really afraid of him, there is nothing in the Hulunbuir Prairie, but the only thing that is not lacking is the heroic warriors - if the King of Han agrees," he leaned forward and pointed to the huge map on the big case, "Our two families will send troops together, relying on the Great Wall, to resist the Junggar army on the line from Datong Mansion to Suiyuan City, how about it?!" β
"Well said, well said!" Lin Feng nodded, "It's okay to say that our Datong army is good, but Suiyuan Chahar is the territory of the little prince of Pucha, and this king can't be the master!" β
Buryagma's face changed slightly, and then he smiled and said dryly, "King Han is joking, right?" - Last month, your General Zhao Guangyuan also commanded the Chahar Department to behead the king's son-in-law, but it was very close," he stared at Lin Feng, "Can't you still make the decision for them?!" β
"Hey! When the prince said this, he saw the outside," Lin Feng said in surprise, "This cooperation is cooperation, and the master is the master, the little prince of Pucha is a golden descendant of the Eight Classics, a descendant of the great Genghis Khan, and the widow can still make the decision for him?!" He glanced at the iron-faced Buryagma with a smile, turned his face away and said with a smile, "The prince is really humorous!" β
"So what the hell is going to do?!"
"Alas, in fact, this matter is not difficult to say, and it is easy to say that I don't agree, if it comes to the key, it depends on what your old man means," Lin Feng sighed, "I said Lord Wang, this time I have to say that you are a little unauthentic, the little prince of Pucha is your junior, and if you are a little unlucky, you will fall into the well, people's opinions are not small, this bend is not good!" β
Buryagma's face was ugly, and he said with a smile, "Oh, what does King Yihan mean......?"
"I like to go straight, and my favorite thing in my life is to solve problems and mediate disputes for my friends, so this time I plan to be a peacemaker for both of you!" Lin Feng smiled and looked at the generals of Horqin, "Why don't you return some of Chahar's pastures - I think Chengde and Rehe are very good, you old people are generous, let the younger generations, and give people to nourish their vitality, in this way, won't everyone be happy?!" β¦β¦β
Before Lin Feng finished speaking, Zamuhe couldn't help but say angrily, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, what are you not paying back?!" Could it be that Chengde and Rehe were originally the places of the Chahar Department?! β¦β¦β
Buryagma raised her hand, stopped Zamuhe, turned her head and smiled at Lin Feng, "Pucha has such a big appetite! - But is this really the will of the Chahar Ministry?! β
"Hey! What does the prince mean by that?! Do you think this king is greedy?! Lin Feng immediately turned his face and said angrily, "The dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the hearts of good people, forget it, Lao Tzu doesn't care, fuck you Mongolians fight to death, it's about Lao Tzu's birds?!" β
The people of Horqin changed color together, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Buryagma held back his anger and tried his best to ease his tone, "King Han is a little restless, this time Geldan has a lot of plans, we still have to cooperate sincerely," he groaned slightly, gritted his teeth violently, and said categorically, "Since it is the intention of the King of Han, then the king will cede Zhangjiakou to Chahar......"
Lin Feng smiled dumbly, waved his hand and said, "Zhangjiakou is at the foot of the Great Wall, when will the prince let him go?! - I'll be honest with you, this Chengde Rehe is adjacent to Beijing," he said with a hideous face as the muscles jumped a few times, "You have to let it, and if you don't let it, you have to let it!" β¦β¦β
Buryagma couldn't hold back any longer, and took the case, his eyes showed a fierce look at Lin Feng, and he said angrily, "If this king doesn't let you, what will you do?!" β
Seeing that he was angry, Lin Feng was not afraid, and looked at him coldly, and for a while, the generals of Han and Mongolia looked at him angrily, and the air was extremely tense. After a long silence, Lin Feng suddenly smiled slightly, "If you let the junior, you will never suffer a loss!" β
In the surprised eyes of everyone, he turned around, strode to the side of the case, lifted the brush, and drew a long ink line on the map, "Now that the Eight Banners have been defeated, Manchuria is shared by my Han and Horqin, if the prince is willing to Chengde, the land outside the gate here, I dare not fight with you in the next plan!" β
The generals of Horqin were stunned, Bulyagma's face softened, and he walked closer to check carefully, only to find that Lin Feng's long ink line went north along Chengde, Karaqin, Zhuotusuo, Tongliao, Zhelimu, and Qiqihar, and was able to bypass Harbin and go all the way to Xihet Mountain, and assigned a large area of land in Jilin and Heilongjiang to himself. β
Lin Feng threw down the brush, ignored Buryagema's reproach, and suddenly looked up at the sky, "Did the prince see it, it's snowing so hard this winter!" β
Buryagmar was stunned and looked at Lin Feng suspiciously.
"In such a cold winter, I don't know how many cattle and sheep will freeze to death, and I don't know how many herdsmen will starve and freeze," Lin Feng shook his head and sighed, his face was full of compassion, "I intend to make good friends with the prince, and exchange grain and cloth for Horqin's cattle, sheep, and leather goods...... And war horses, I don't know what you think?! β
Seeing that Buryagma's face was hesitant, Lin Feng smiled and said, "If the prince agrees, wouldn't it be good if the Great Han Kingdom and Eastern Mongolia would trade every year in the future?!" β
Buryagma pondered for a long time, and said slowly, "There is no problem with cattle, sheep, and leather goods, but this war horse ......."
Lin Feng suddenly laughed, interrupted his hesitation, and pointed to the cannon on the side of the Han army's military formation, "If the prince is willing to give up the war horse, then we will exchange it for muskets and cannons!" He stared at the hesitant Buryagma and said in a deep voice, "It is said that Geldan also brought a lot of heavy artillery this time, I wonder if the prince is ready?!" β¦β¦β
"Good! - Then let's exchange our horses for cannons! As if a heavy blow, Buryagema's eyebrows jumped, and finally he no longer hesitated, and agreed, "We, the brotherly states of Horqin and the Great Han Kingdom, should help each other!" ββAccording to what the King of Han said, let's give Chengde to you, and then communicate with each other to resist the strong enemy!! β
At the moment, there was no doubt that the Han and Mongolian armies were allied by blood, and Lin Feng and Buryagma swore to the sky in front of tens of thousands of soldiers that they would always form an alliance and agreed to fight the Dzungar invasion together.
Due to the advance of Geldan's army, Buryagma was obviously a little distracted, and after forming an alliance, he immediately led the Horqin army back to Hulunbuir the next day, but Lin Feng was not as nervous as him, and the tired Han army repaired in Beining City for two days before he leisurely ordered to go to Shenyang.
After the victory of the war, the morale of the army was extremely high, in order to deter the Manchurian tribes, Lin Feng specially recalled the main force of Wang Dahai's Han infantry second army, and set off together with the two armies of the Guards, with nearly 27,000 combat soldiers, together with more than 80,000 people with the army, and more than 100,000 troops stretched for hundreds of miles, and went straight to the last stronghold of the Manchu remnants outside the pass.
Heavy snowfall, the weather is getting colder and colder, due to the timely truce with the Mongol army, the army's winter clothes and shoes and socks were sent in time, despite this, the road is still more and more difficult to walk, but these difficulties obviously did not have much impact on the morale of the Han army, even the people are everyone excited, along the way the ice and snow potholes, mules, horses and carts are difficult to move, a group of people actually stripped naked in the ice and snow, shouting slogans to push the cart.
"Thirty merits, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon ......" Looking at the hot army, Wang Shirong, who had always been cold and indifferent, was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself, and from time to time he immediately recited Wu Mu's last poems, which made Lin Feng look sideways.
"I said Ji Yun, you're really weird these days," Lin Feng looked at Wang Shirong suspiciously, "This is not like yours!" β
Wang Shirong shook his head and arched his hand, "Lord, do you know that the name of the humble post in Jiangnan in the past?!" β
"Isn't it called 'Xiao Zhang Liang'?!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "Wait for a good strategy, strategize and win a thousand miles, it is really a 'national warrior', this is a good name!" β
"The lord is tolerant, Zhang Liangzhi is a national soldier, not just because of strategy," Wang Shirong's miserable white face wiped a layer of red, and said excitedly, "Zhang Liangzhi, a loyal and righteous man, is also a Korean legacy, loyal and unchangeable after the destruction of the country, even if there is an emperor Qin Shi Huang, he is also not afraid, and recruits the dead to serve Bo Lang with a blow, and then although the country is not restored, but it is still resistant to Qin, and finally makes the Ying family die and the country is destroyed, and the revenge of the family and the country is revenge. β
Lin Feng was taken aback, on weekdays, he saw that this person was inconspicuous and intrigued, and he had a belly of intrigue and trickery, he didn't expect that he was such a sensual person, and the taste of anger in his bones was so strong, he really didn't know how he could be a strategist, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "No wonder, no wonder!" β
Wang Shirong said, "It's not a humble statement, with Wang's talent, if you want to serve the Qing court, high-ranking officials can get it at your fingertips, but how can a husband be shy and face the enemy?" The Tartars occupy my splendid country and slaughter thousands of my people, although Shirong has no power to restrain the chicken, but he lives with a great husband, so he would rather assist Wu Sangui, a traitor, but also drive out the Manchu Yi and avenge this national revenge! β
"National feud?!" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, "Ji Yun is actually loyal to Da Ming?!" β
"No, no! This 'national hatred' is not the other 'national hatred'! Wang Shirong shook his head, pointed his finger at the reckless snowfield beside him, and said awe-inspiringly, "This great river and mountain is the rivers and mountains of the people of the world, not the private property of the surname Zhu, a certain Manchu Qing Dynasty as an enemy, not loyal to the former Ming Dynasty, but to serve the people of the Han family, for the thousands of souls to seek justice - so to rise up for the people of the world, only to live up to the ambition of the national warrior when he was a teenager!" He showed an excited look, and suddenly immediately bowed to Lin Feng, choked up, and said, "Now go straight to the Yellow Dragon, fulfill the wish of life, and the power of the lord is also, so the world is for the public, Shirong will repay him with death!" β
Lin Feng was dumbfounded, sighed heavily in his heart, and suddenly wanted to ask him if this "man of the world" was not full of people, but he swallowed the words to his mouth, this concept is too different, it is impossible for the two to reach an agreement, and there is no need to be bored with themselves, so he had to cough dryly, and then said, "When it comes to smashing Huanglong, it may not be so easy, this Shenyang is the Shengjing of others, let's talk about it when the time comes!" β
At this moment, the main force of the Eight Banners outside the pass has been all annihilated, a stronghold on the periphery of Shenyang has been abandoned, and the remaining remnants of the army have all shrunk into the city to concentrate on defense, the cavalry troops under the command of Ma Ying have reported frequently, and after a few days of searching, the horse team has attacked from all sides, passed around the city, cut off the passage to the west of Shenyang, and completely isolated the city.
When Lin Feng's main force of the Chinese army crossed the Shaling Fort and approached the city, the head of Shenyang was already in full battle. The city has been the center of gravity outside the gate for a hundred years, and the Eight Banners took this as the national capital before entering the Central Plains, because it was in a tense state of war with the Ming Dynasty for a long time, so the defense system was built very completely, the moat outside the city was drawn from the Hunhe River, both wide and deep, the outer wall was all wrapped in solid bluestone, about ten zhang high, the female wall was swarthy behind the wall, the soldiers were like a forest and the muzzle was clear, facing the Han army besieging the city.
Lin Feng frowned, turned his head to look at Sabusu, and said politely, "General Sabusu, didn't you say that Shenyang's troops are insufficient?!" β
"Returning to the Han King," Sabu Su respectfully asked for an an, with a hint of pain on his face, and then lowered his head, "There are less than a thousand banners in Shenyang City, and what you just saw is either the Han people who have been forcibly recruited, or ...... It's the old man and the child! β
Lin Feng nodded, he was not excited at all because of the weak strength of the enemy army, such a high wall and deep ravine, and the enemy's will to fight is very tenacious, if it is a strong attack, this casualty is probably not a small number, there is no suspense about victory at the moment, if there are heavy casualties, it is really a bit unreasonable, thinking about it, he hesitated for a while.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han ......" Sabu Su suddenly knelt on the ground, "Please forgive the last general for daring to offend, if our army is frustrated in Shenyang, what will you plan?!" β
"How?! What do you think you plan?! Lin Feng looked at Sabusu strangely, and said with a smile, "General Sabusu said with a smile, it's not like you haven't seen it along the way, it's cold and freezing outside the gate nowadays, our army has been fighting for months, the soldiers are tired, and the baggage supplies are difficult to transport thousands of miles, what do you say I will plan?!" β
Sabu Su's teeth trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that King Han ...... You...... King Han intends to ......"
"Hehe, General Sabusu, you are also a famous general, you won't have heard of the story of Yue Wumu, right?! Don't you know how to pound the Yellow Dragon with this 'straight smashing yellow dragon'?! Lin Feng sneered, "The lessons of the past are in front of us, and Liaoyang is a model for Shenyang!! β
Sabusu's knees were weak, and he involuntarily collapsed to the ground, he gasped for breath, looked at Lin Feng for a long time, and suddenly hissed, "If Shengjing descends to the King of Han, will you still ......?"
"Oh, you also know that this king is not a brutal person, and his ambition is not just confined to a corner of one side, he wants to fight the world, and he doesn't want to end up with a tyrannical reputation," Lin Feng smiled, "In the past, when we captured the capital division, we Han had rules to only investigate the first evildoer, and not to offend innocent women and children!" β
"In that case, Sabu Su asks His Highness for his life, and he will go and recruit the Shengjing General Dakma!!" Sabu Su's expression was relieved, and he bowed his head gloomily and asked for his life.
Battle flag hunting, tens of thousands of troops lined up outside the east gate of Shenyang, at this time the heavy snow is flying, before a moment, the snowflakes have accumulated a thick layer on the swords, guns and armor, but the military order is strict, but no one dares to move, the gun body is white, the bayonet is bright, in the vast snow flashing with the cold light of killing, tens of thousands of snowmen look solemn, in the neat array, can only slightly see the white mist in the mouth and nose.
A password came from afar, and then it was transferred layer by layer, and it was transmitted directly to the artillery position, dozens of red-clothed cannons immediately fired a salvo, "boom" a loud sound, the snowflakes at the head of the city were shocked to fall, and the defenders immediately leaned down and hid behind the female wall, silent for a long time, but they did not see the shells hit, they looked at each other, and couldn't help but be surprised.
Sabusu rode alone, crossed the layers of queues, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of troops, gradually approached Shenyang, looking up at this magnificent city, just opened his mouth, but suddenly his throat interfered, and he couldn't make any sound, and his heart was sad, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Sabu Su ?!!" A general suddenly poked out of the city and exclaimed.
Sabu Su looked up at his former friend, his body trembled, revealing a painful and distorted look, and said astringently, "Dakma...... I...... I'm Sabusu!! β
"Phew!! - " Dakma spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, which fell directly on Sabusu's body, he pointed at Sabusu, and said disdainfully, "Where did you come from?!" The Heilongjiang generals of the Great Qing Dynasty have died in battle! The general Sabusu I recognize is Manchurian Baturu, not a wild dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy! β
Sabu Su tilted his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Dakma...... We're defeated...... The tide is over...... he said, his lips trembling, plucking up courage, "...... Let's go down! β¦β¦β
"Phew!! - "Dakma spat and landed on Sabusu's face, and said mockingly, "I, Dakma is a Manchurian son, will I be greedy for wealth and wealth and go to the enemy's life?!" β
"Greed...... greedy for wealth ......" Sabu Su muttered, with a bitter smile on his face, and he didn't even wipe the filth off his face, and said loudly, "Dakma, can you keep Shenyang?!" β
Dakma was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "If you can't hold it, surrender?!" β
Sabu Su shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said sadly, "Do you want to let Shengjing be slaughtered like Liaoyang?!" He stretched out a finger and pointed at the old men and children on the city wall tremblingly, "Do you want to cut off the blood of Manchu and let the ancestors of the Jurchens have no sacrifice in heaven?!" β
"Phew!! - "Dakma said angrily, "cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, are you still worthy to tell me about the ancestors of the Jurchens?!" β
Sabusu's face turned red, tears welled up in the tiger's eyes, and he was very excited at this time, and suddenly pulled out a long knife, and slashed towards his mount, the war horse neighed, and the huge horse's head was cut off with a knife, and the blood sprayed wildly, splashing Sabusu's head all over his face, he raised the bloody long knife, pointed at Dakma and said angrily, "You are a warrior, you have to be loyal to the emperor, good!" β¦β¦ Good! Good! β¦β¦ Then you are dead, why should all the Manchurians be buried with you?! β
Dakma looked at Sabusu dumbfounded, speechless for a moment.
Sabu Su raised his long knife, pointed at the fathers and children of the Eight Banners on the city wall, and said in a trembling voice, "The ram is dead, there are still ewes, the ewe is dead, there are still old sheep and young sheep, but the sheep are gone, will there be sheep in this world?!" He cried loudly, "Dakma, why don't you go and see the women and children, ask the ancestors, and ask them if they would like to see the Jurchens have no offspring?!" β
Dakma trembled as if he had been struck hard, and he stretched out his hand to point at Sabusu, his lips squirming, but he could not say a word.
"Dakma, keep your eyes open, and today I want you to know what it means to be a 'coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death', and what is the real Manchurian Baturu!" Sabu looked at the old and young soldiers on the city wall steadily, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly sang loudly:
ββ¦β¦ My grandmother fed me milk, and Amma gave me a bow and arrows;
β¦β¦ The clear Hara River, that is the homeland of the Jurchens;
β¦β¦ O eagle of Changbai Mountain, you have to fly high......"
The song was desolate and desolate, turning around leisurely in the empty field, spreading to the city, everyone wept, Sabu Su slowly turned around, facing the forest wind, raised his hand to stroke his hair, suddenly stopped, the long knife slashed back, and actually cut off his neck, the blood rushed to the sky, sprayed on all sides, dyed the snow around him red, the big hand carried his head, the body stood upright in the wind, and it did not fall.
Dakma looked at the headless corpse under the city in a daze, suddenly coughed violently, spit out a mouthful of blood, Langning beside him hurriedly stepped forward to help, he shook off Langning's support, and said miserably, "Sabusu is right, go open the city gate!" β¦β¦β
Langning's body trembled, and he fell to his knees, crying silently.
Dakma smiled, wiped the blood from her lips, suddenly climbed up the female wall, pulled out a long knife and put it across her neck, and vigorously strangled back, blood gushed, her body was soft, and she fell headlong towards the moat.
Looking at Sabusu's body from afar, Lin Feng's heart was churning, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, he slapped his horse forward and shouted loudly, "General, go, Lin Feng will definitely keep his promise!" β
The snow was falling, the cold wind was like a knife, and Sabusu's headless body seemed to be frozen by ice and snow, standing still.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, pulled out a long knife, threw it into the soil with all his might, looked around, and shouted, "All the armies listen to the order and seal the knife!! βββ
The corpse is a servant.
