Chapter 3 The Heroes of the Dongjiang River
Jinzhou Tiger Mountain is the remnant vein of the small black mountain, this place is mostly hilly, during the Chenghua period, the Liaodong capital division set up a guard fort at the foot of the mountain, set up a hundred households, belongs to the left of the middle of Jinzhou.
However, now the hundred-household house called Twenty-Libao by the locals has long been abandoned, and the place was sold by the thousand-family to a merchant for a lumber yard, intermittently for a hundred years, and I don't know how many owners have changed, and now there is no wood to cut down in the surrounding area, so it is completely deserted.
But just a month ago, the twenty-mile fort suddenly became lively, because the Acropolis had transported many people to settle here, and the number was about more than a thousand.
After the people were placed here, the food and drink were provided by the Acropolis and the Thousand Households, and these people were honest in the Twenty Mile Fort, did not disturb the people, and were quite harmonious with the people near the left, so many people had the courage to pick their own specialties to sell in the fort, and the business was still very prosperous.
In less than half a month, the villagers spontaneously formed a rush to the side of Twenty Fort, and in the process of contacting these outsiders, some people found that many of them were not Han Chinese, but Mongolian and Jurchen. Not only that, but there is also the reduction of widows. These people said that they were waiting for sea ships in Jinzhou, and that it would not be long before they would go to the south, saying that they were going to be the pro-army of the Son of Heaven.
The villagers didn't make a fuss about this, because there were originally everyone in Liaodong, and there were still many mature women from the north who were really doing business on the Jinzhou Acropolis.
But these gang of Tartars and Wakou said that they wanted to be the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the villagers felt funny, thinking that our Ming Dynasty was no longer there or something, when did the emperor Lao Tzu's personal soldiers want you outsiders to be the soldiers.
Laugh and laugh, it doesn't matter who you are or what you do, as long as you buy things and give money. The trade in Twenty Mile Fort continued, and business was still booming, but a few days ago, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came and ordered the villagers not to come near this place again, and not to trade with the people inside.
At first, the villagers did not take it seriously, and it was only after the officers and soldiers suddenly started beating people and forcibly evicted them that they realized that the ban of the government was true.
In addition to not allowing the villagers to approach any longer, the officers and soldiers also did not allow the more than 1,000 people in the fort to go out, which made the people in the camp a little panicked.
Their leaders tried to negotiate with the officers and soldiers, but they ignored them and even beat them severely. After that, another group of officers and soldiers came from the side of the acropolis and drained the water around the fort.
This frightened the people in the camp, most of whom had been on the battlefield before, but how they could fight these officers and soldiers with their bare hands. And the situation was completely different from the order they had received before they came, which made them frightened and confused, not knowing what was going on.
Fortunately, although the officers and soldiers restricted their movements, food was still provided. As long as they are given food, it means that they will not be killed, which makes the more than 1,000 men in the camp dare not act rashly for a while.
On this day, before dawn, the officers and soldiers of the brigade suddenly rushed into the camp, and then ordered everyone to line up on both sides of the official road. In this way, thousands of men were driven out of the camp by the officers and soldiers, and then sat in rows on both sides of the official road, and hundreds of soldiers with guns under the leadership of the officers watched them with fierce eyes.
At first, the officers and soldiers only let the people in the camp sit on the ground and not move, and they didn't ask anything about what they said, but soon after, a staff general came from Jinzhou, and when he saw this chaotic scene, he immediately reprimanded the officers who were in charge before, and then these men sitting on both sides of the official road were forced not to make noise or raise their heads, and anyone who disobeyed was immediately severely beaten.
Occasionally, someone couldn't help but dare to raise their head, and they would immediately be dragged out of the crowd by the soldiers behind them and beaten severely. After such a few people, no one in the crowd dared to raise their heads, and there were occasionally a few coughs that could not be contained.
Despite this, the soldiers kept weaving through the crowd, occasionally waving their swords in their hands to intimidate the men from moving.
Judging by the anxious waiting of the officers, it seems that some big man is coming. When it was almost noon, a team appeared on the official road in the distance, waving a flag and slowly marching here.
At the front of the line were hundreds of cavalry, which showed that the identity of the person who came was extraordinary. As the team got closer and closer, the faces of the waiting officers became solemn, and the general from Jinzhou was even more nervous and whispered an order, asking the people below to tidy up their soldiers and stop moving around at will.
After several officers received the order, they quickly shouted loudly for their soldiers to come out of the crowd, and then lined up behind the crowd.
Seeing this, the general showed a satisfied smile on his face, and when he saw the guys who were sitting on both sides of the official road with their heads down, the corners of his mouth twitched inadvertently, revealing a contemptuous gaze, and then he slowly looked at the guerrilla Shang Xueli, who had been standing silently behind him, and said in a muffled voice: "Wait a while, the seventh master will come over, and you will ask him for guilt." ”
Shang Xueli's face was ugly, and he didn't squeak. The general didn't bother to pay attention to him, looked at his robe, and walked forward quickly. It is rare for the seventh master to come to Jinzhou, and he must leave a deep impression in the other party's mind no matter what.
After the general left, a young military official walked up to the silent Shang Xueli and said in a low voice: "Dad, Li Ruwu is here, what should I do?" ”
Shang Xueli shook his head, his heart was heavy, if something happened to these people, he really didn't know how to explain to the old benefactor. In embarrassment, he had to say to his eldest son Kejin: "Act when the opportunity arises." ”
In the distance, there was also a middle-aged man saying these four words, but as soon as he spoke, a man with a fierce face on the side scolded: "What a fart when you see the opportunity!" Damn, if I knew this, I would have voted for my eldest brother. ”
"Vote for your big brother? Hmph, what's the matter, Liu Lao Wu, do you want to learn from your eldest brother Liu Xingzuo to be a dog for the people of Jianzhou? The middle-aged man was a little annoyed.
"It's better to be a dog to the people of Jianzhou than to be angry here." The man from Liu Lao Wu grinned, "Lao Tzu voted for my eldest brother, what do you have to say." ”
"I do dental business, and it is also a serious business, I have never bullied anyone, I have never deceived anyone, it is better than your eldest brother making a dog for the people of Jianzhou."
The middle-aged man's name is Shen Shikui, who is from the right guard of Shenyang and the left thousand households, and has been doing small business in Shenyang in the past.
Because he is honest and honest in business, Shen Shikui has been making small troubles and can't make a fortune, and his family is having a hard time, so he also helps people under Shenyang Zhongwei on weekdays. I don't know where I heard that the Flying Tiger Army in this Wei Li was going to be transferred to the south as a pro-army, and after thinking about it carefully, it would be a way out, so I asked someone to get a military registration and followed this group to Jinzhou.
And the young fierce man's name is Liu Xingxian, and the seven brothers in his family are all Kaiyuan. The eldest brother's name is Liu Xingzuo, and when he was twenty-seven years old, he used his clothes and towels to call the Kaiyuan town general to beat him, so he took his brothers to vote for Jianzhou Nuerhachi in a fit of anger.
Because of Liu Xingzuo's outstanding talent and "clever and understanding", he won the respect and appreciation of Nurhachi, and was assigned to the red flag of Dabeile Daishan. However, Liu Xingxian is an unrestrained character, and he secretly ran out as a horse bandit when he was uncomfortable in Jianzhou, and the Flying Tiger Army called Gao Huai was accepted a few years ago, and then he has been following Zhang Hu, and this time he also came to Jinzhou with the rest of the Flying Tiger Army.
