Chapter 678: A Big Incident Caused by a Bowl of Hot Soup

"I heard the scene of the prosperous era, which is the thoroughfare of the avenue, and the business travel is like weaving. Therefore, although Shang is the end of the four people, and then the successive dynasties are important. Pre-Qin Tao Zhu, crisscrossing the countries, although Qin was rape, did not plunder goods. Throughout the five dynasties and ten countries, business travelers were not heavily taxed, and they were not heard of killing business travelers for fun. Recently, I have been prevalent in trade along the river, walking in the old days of the Ming Dynasty, buying furs and selling curiosities, and there has been no killing and plundering, but there has been no unwarranted disaster. Traveling to the Sancha River in Heilongjiang, the general of the country of Erguo actually used a bow and arrow to my caravan, the caravan was terrified, and there was a great chaos, and then the cannon was fired indiscriminately, until there were dead and wounded. Although the man is not a nobleman, he is also a human life, and when one person dies, the whole family howls. Roughly speaking, there have been three howling all day long. This matter is full of anger among the masses, and there is the intention of looking for the Qing Dynasty to collect debts, but I want to turn big things into small things, small things into small things, people are dead, and it is useless to kill people. Therefore, a letter was sent to Wangjun, who would appropriately compensate 100,000 silver dollars and send the murderer to our department for disposal. In this way, I will live in peace, and Jun Antai. "I have ordered all the merchants in Liaodong to take refuge in my brother's military might, retreat to the island, and wait for good news. Foolish brother Li Peiting!

Ning finished reading the mournful book sent by Li Peiting quickly, put away the letter, and peeked at Huang Taiji, who was lying on the bedside.

After nearly half a month of running day and night, Huang Taiji finally led a large group of men and horses to escort tens of thousands of prisoners and many booty back to Shengjing. Although he mostly walked in the Songhua River by boat along the way, the projectile on his leg reminded him from time to time and created a small surprise for him.

It was easy to return to Shengjing, but he didn't have time to deal with the treacherous situation in Shengjing City, but he was hit on the head by the document sent by Li Peiting, which made him dizzy, and Venus appeared in front of him.

As stated in the letter, the various shops in Liaodong that prevailed in Longsheng ceased to sell goods almost overnight. Instead, they carried all kinds of goods in the store and disappeared. However, he did not do anything to the end, but left behind some shopkeepers, associates, and apprentices who were responsible for purchasing all kinds of Liaodong native products, and traveled around various parts of Liaodong and various Mongolian tribes with large sums of silver dollars, and continued their business.

As for those cloths, salt, canned food, etc. A large number of lele carts and carriages were hired by Long Shengxing, and they were transported out of Shengjing City and headed for the Liaodong Peninsula. Come to think of it, it is really as Li Peiting said in his letter, first take refuge on the island to prevent the situation from deteriorating.

However, the second son of Li had no intention of preventing the situation from deteriorating at all.

When Huang Taiji just got the news, he didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, thinking about it, it was just that this young and vigorous boy brother had something wrong, and he lost his temper there. Dead Zhang butcher. Do you have to eat hairy pigs? We don't buy salt, sugar, cloth, silk and other things from you, we can buy them from the Jin merchants, and it will cost a few more silver dollars! However, the news from Fan Yongdou and others was also bad one after another.

"The contract we signed with Long Shengxing and other Nanzhong merchants to buy grain, pig iron, and other goods was about to be executed. However, the shopkeeper of the merchant in the capital suddenly sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that there was a storm on the sea, and it was difficult for the ship to go to sea for a while, and that there were hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and rice, and millions of catties of pig iron and gunpowder. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to reach Liaodong for a while. Please also ask the master to plan one or two quickly! ”

It's spring famine season, and seeds are just popping up everywhere. Dozens of mines, workshops, as well as the rebuilding of cities in Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Haizhou, Gaizhou and other places on the Liaonan Peninsula, restoring the old view, and cultivating the wasteland are all to fill in a large amount of grain and rice, but at this time, the merchants cannot send grain, rice and salt to come, how should this be good!?

However, the news reported by Bao Chengxian, Zu Dashou, Wang Pu and others made Huang Taiji's nosebleed even more. They relied on their respective networks of connections within the Liaodong Army and the Jin merchants. The news that Tan heard almost made Huang Taiji so angry that he went directly to see his father Khan.

"The slave learned from the people of the ancestral family next to the nephew of the slave that the Guanning military sailors are still patrolling the sea everywhere, and there is still no shortage of all kinds of grain and grass."

"Someone in the minion's family learned that Long's actions this time were completely aimed at my Daqing!"

The slave Bao Cheng learned first. The picking and acquisition of red and blue grasses is still going on. The red and blue grass picked by the coated slaves under the banner lord Baylor was still purchased at the conversion of grain and rice. Prince Rui and Prince Yu's dyeing mills are full of people every day. ”

"It is said that at least tens of thousands of stone grains and rice were deposited in the hands of the two white flags because they were too bulky and difficult to transport."

"Enough!" Huang Taiji slapped the kang table suddenly, and the cups, plates, and chopsticks on the kang table jumped up suddenly, so frightened that several important ministers present hurriedly knelt on the ground, and pressed their bald heads tightly to the ground. lest his words and deeds cause His Majesty the Emperor to erupt into a thunderous rage.

But Huang Taiji's way of venting was not aimed at him, but snatched the letter written by Li Peiting in Ning Wan's hand, and threw it at Yild, who was kneeling in the corner of the room.

"You useless minions! Let you go after the Sauron barbarians, who let you clash with the fleets that prevail in Long?! Now, so many people have died, you say, this mess, I want to cut off the heads of a few of you to clean it up? ”

Ilde, the northbound military horse messenger who came to report the news, where has he ever seen Huang Taiji so thunderous and angry? was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his hands and feet kept trembling, and the long tassel with the iron helmet he put aside was also shaking.

"Ilde, don't hurry up! Truthfully explain to the emperor what happened in the Sancha River that day, and the emperor is also a holy judge! "Ning Wan next to me is reprimanding Ilde on the surface, but in fact, he is exonerating this Jialazhangjing who is on the yellow flag.

"Ilde, speak! What did you do at the Three Forks that day to make this brother of mine so annoyed? But when you see the wealth, you intend to rob his caravan?! If this is the case, my military discipline and treasure sword must not tolerate such misdeeds! ”

Hearing Huang Taiji's cruel words, Ilde couldn't stop kowtowing like pounding garlic, and his head was bruised and purple on the ground. However, the situation that day was so chaotic that not only caused Huang Taiji such a great trouble, but also caused such a great trouble, that is, the losses of the military horses pursued by the two Yellow Banners in the north were unbearable for them, the middle-ranking officers.

"Your Majesty, on that day in the Sancha River, the minions heard that the fleet on the opposite river was prosperous. When even if the restraint subordinates are not presumptuous. The slave himself accompanied the master of Haoge to give the second son of the Li family the banner of weaving the golden dragon on that day, how could he not know the stakes of the relationship? But ......"

Sancha Estuary.

"His grandmother's! Brethren, who do you say are savages between us and the Sauronians? A Eight Banners said hatefully while eating meat.

Another flag man took a sip of the hot soup, and said with a lingering taste of the fish soup: "Then it goes without saying, of course, the Saurons are savages. ”

"Not necessarily, right? How do I think we're savages? You see, the salt that people eat. It was snow-white refined salt, the wine I drank was pure soju made from the finest grain, the clothes on my body were Nanzhong's dyed cloth, and there was a life-saving bag. These good things, let's not talk about using them, even I haven't seen them a few times, but this Sauron people threw a lot of them? How do I think we're not as good as these savages? The flag man who spoke was a little ostentatious, fiddling with a pile of small bits and pieces under his feet. Inside. A large brass bowl, a flask, and half a bundle of dyed muslin, on which several life-saving bags were placed.

The other flag man didn't care when he heard this, and pointed to the drawing in mid-air with the meat knife in his hand and said, "Hey, it's nothing, it's not all because of the trade with Long that made a fortune." However, this savage is a savage, and he doesn't look like a prince when he wears a dragon robe. Although the hands are well apparatus. He also has armor on his body, but. It's the same as the soldiers and horses of the Ming Kingdom in the Guan, no, as soon as you see our two yellow flag military formations, it will be over immediately. When we have eaten and drunk enough, we will cross the river and finish off their old nest in one fell swoop. No matter how many good things they have at that time, not all of them will be ours. ”

"yes, that's it."

Their conversation was clearly sent by Jiang Feng to the ears of several Melzhangjing and Jialazhangjing not far away, and Chen Tai, Baha, Yild, and others listened to these extremely rude words. But he didn't care at all, but thought that morale was usable. As long as the minions under his command are fed and drunk, and take a little rest, what if Nabo Mu Bogol and the others can escape the river for half a day? Isn't it the same to be chased by the elite soldiers of our two yellow flags, and there is no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground?

Chen Tai proudly chewed a piece of fat dragon meat, allowing the broth to grease the corners of his mouth and beard.

"It's not the first time I've eaten this flying dragon, but I've never thought this flying dragon broth with rice is so delicious!"

"Haha! Lord Mailer, the Han people have a saying, it is called that eating bran is as sweet as honey when you are hungry, and honey is not sweet when you are full! That's it! ”

Several adults teased each other, quite satisfied. I don't want to, in the distance, there were bursts of noise and scolding.

A strong man led his house slave to rush into the crowd, very rudely pushed away the crowd lined up in front of the pot stove, and threw his dishes and chopsticks in front of the man in charge, "You, the Nikan of the Ming Kingdom, add food and vegetables to this official." ”

This growth is probably just rushed from the back of the team, I don't know what background is behind these guys in front of him, it's just a thin fox, but behind them is a big white-fronted worm with hanging eyes, don't say that he has a small growth, that is, in his eyes, the high Jiala Zhangjing, Mel Zhangjing, the banner owner Baylor, all the way to Huang Taiji himself, have to answer this big worm well, dare not apply the slightest color.

Sure enough, the guy wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp either. Originally, it was surrounded by these two yellow flags and soldiers and horses impenetrable, and the smell of oil and vegetables and sweat smelled together, it was a little angry. However, seeing that many soldiers were submissive in front of them, they didn't dare to offend the big horse spoon in their hands, and even flattered and flattered them in order to get more food, and this guy endured it. Who would have thought that such an unreasonable mallet would come out of the wilderness?

"What are you talking about? Get out of the way! Didn't see so many people lining up here honestly? Didn't your master tell you to know the rules? This guy also followed Long Shengxing to walk in Liaodong for a long time, and he knew a lot about the social structure, customs and customs within the Qing Dynasty. However, he overlooked one point, that is, when people are hungry and faced with the temptation of food, especially when others are already gulping and chewing mouth-watering meals, many social norms and moral standards, and even military discipline, will be thrown aside.

For example, the famous Japanese army in Henan to provide relief to the hungry, a few taels of grain per person per day, and these grains were captured from the warehouse of Commander Tang. Such means and administrative measures. Let the hungry people in western Henan suddenly see the hope of life. What's more, these national troops are not a good thing in the hearts of the people of Henan. As a result, the national army was tragic.

The same tragedy was repeated on the Huaihai battlefield a few years later, but the role of this performance has been greatly adjusted. A large number of soldiers and junior officers of the Nationalist Army were starved and faced with the aroma of food wafting from the trenches opposite. The smell of stewed pork pancakes and the incessant shouting made these hungry and cold people in the wind and snow brave their lives to crawl through the fire blockade area, just for food and clothing on the other side.

After tasting the food of the communist army, many soldiers of the elite troops of the national army actually said with envy that the food here is better than that of the national army! Of course, these words are only applicable to ordinary soldiers and grassroots officers who do not know the benefits of the Republic of China, and commanders like Commander Du will not appreciate this. Even when he changed into a soldier's clothes and was captured, he was stuffed with beef jerky and chocolate. The scene when the commander of the Temporary Seventh Division was captured in the Bright Sword TV series was based on the body of Chief Du.

Such is the case with this growth.

In the cauldron of twenty-four seals in front of me. The pheasant, flying dragon, venison and other things that had been chopped a few knives were tumbling up and down in the soup, constantly exuding the fragrance of life-threatening people around, and his stomach was urging vigorously, but the damn Nikan in front of him actually asked him to go to the back to line up. How can this be made tolerable?

Then he screamed, and reached out to snatch the spoon from the man's hand. How could the man be relenting, although he was caught off guard by the strong and snatched the horse spoon, but immediately pounced on him and shouted loudly, intending to take back his symbol of power.

Time. There was a mess all of a sudden.

"Murder! The Tartars have killed! I don't know what's going on, the guy screamed. Blood was dripping from his hands, and the strong hand was holding the meat-eating knife in his hand, and blood was dripping from the blade downward.

The men on the dozens of pots and stoves nearby heard that something was going on here, and immediately rushed over to the rescue. The two sides immediately fought.

Where are these guys the opponents of this group of wolf-like two yellow flags? When he was beaten to the ground, he fled to the river. As he fled, he shouted, "The Tartars have killed!" The Tartars have killed! "The Tartars are going to rob! The Tartars are going to rob! ”

In front of them were two or three hundred cooks and men running wildly towards the river, and behind them were hundreds of yellow flags of flags, Yu Ding, and people in armor in hot pursuit, this scene was clearly seen by Lin Wenbing, who was guarding the flagship of the fleet.

"Alright. Enough heat! ”

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

On the dozen or so large and small ships in the river, the flags quickly conveyed the same order. The big franc machine of the door has already been filled with a sub-gun, and this is the moment that I am waiting for!

The flotilla was moored on the south side of the river, some distance from the main channel. At this time, the Heilongjiang River is not particularly wide, because it is not yet the season when the water surface is the widest in summer.

As a result, the entire area of the South Bank Loop was practically within the range of the fleet's Great Francs and a handful of twelve-pounder guns.

"Aim at the group of Tartars who are chasing our brothers, and fire!"

"Aim at the Tartars behind us who are snatching our food, and fire!"

I have to say that Chen Tai and the others were still prescient in their initial order to order their subordinates to evacuate the formation and evacuate again. At a distance of only two or three hundred meters, it is the best range of artillery such as the Big Franc machine, if the target hedgehog is in a ball, and the gun is loaded with shotguns, then a cannon has passed, how can this kind of sour taste be clearly explained in one sentence?

The big Buddha machine was all reloaded with shotguns, shotguns that were slightly smaller than the thumb, and thirty of them were loaded in one gun, and when a shot rang out, it could completely penetrate the formation of the two yellow flags and flagmen who were chasing after the fleeing cooks and men.

The first cannon sounded from the eastern section, and the metal flow formed by the hundreds of projectiles fired by the eight big Buddha machines was like a huge iron broom, sweeping the soldiers of the two yellow flags who were rushing to the ground to the ground. Seeing that the reservoir dogs were about to be beaten, someone suddenly came out to help, and they used such a ruthless method, which suddenly made the soldiers of the two yellow flags quickly confused, and the bannermen instinctively began to run to the west and south, trying to stay away from those deadly projectiles.

However, when the people had just gathered in the western section, the artillery fire on the west side of the river also rang out, and the bodies of the men and horses happened to come into close contact with the projectiles.

The effect of the sudden intensive artillery fire only destroyed the bodies of nearly 100 Two Yellow Banner Bannermen and Yu Ding's slaves, and these people were only a drop in the bucket among the soldiers and horses of the Two Yellow Banners. However, although the Franc cannon fired only three guns, the twelve-pounder gun fired at most two shells. However, the chaos brought to the two yellow flags is indescribable.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on? ”

Chen Tai and the others looked at the scene in front of them in shock, the soldiers and horses of the brigade were in a mess, crying, cannons, and neighing of war horses, which made the atmosphere that was still peaceful and joyful just now suddenly turn into a Shura field.

The artillery fire stopped for a while, but the ship came with a burst of questioning.

"We are waiting to entertain your army with wine and food, but why did your army torture and kill us?"

With this question, one by one the small boats in the fleet were lowered, the long oars swayed, and they quickly rowed towards the south of the Yangtze River. But this time, instead of men and food, there were teams of musketeers on the bow!

Seeing this situation, Chen Tai and the others shouted that it was not good, but they did not dare to compete with it, so they had to pass down the order to temporarily retreat south to avoid its edge.

It's just that the horses that were originally scattered along the river were captured, but they couldn't take care of it. (To be continued......)
