Chapter 11: Preparing for War

After the death of the Tartars, most of the traitors began to lay down their weapons. The strength and madness of the Han army have completely subdued them, and there are a few traitors who swear to die. Perhaps they are afraid that their loved ones will be implicated, or perhaps they know that their sins are so great that surrender is death.

After the first battle, all the Tartars in Jinzhou City died, and the traitors also died 1,000, and a total of 3,000 prisoners were taken. The Han army also suffered heavy losses: the scarecrows died a thousand, most of them died while stacking the Arhats, and many were killed by iron horses.

Scarecrows and wood men will die if they bleed too much for too long. There are also soul fragments in the core of the brain, which will die instantly if they are injured. Perhaps because there is only a glimmer of life left in everything, the dead scarecrows cannot be resurrected, and their flesh will turn back into straw after a few days, and soon melt away without a trace.

The next day, the fiery red sun had appeared for a long time, but the entire Golden State City was still unusually quiet. The killing of the Tartars has made the Han people dare not resist, even if they want to celebrate, they dare not show it.

The Wang family, the Liu family, the historian family and other small and medium-sized families in Jinzhou all gathered together, and the old man who was at the top looked at the guests, but his face was disgusted.

"Old Zhao, are you still complaining about us for so long, you know that we were forced to do so at that time!"

"Yes, Old Zhao, you are a wise man in Jinzhou, do you think we are willing to be traitors and lose the face of our ancestors, and even ruin the hair and skin left by our parents!"

In the end, the old man was also moved and sighed deeply. "I know why you came, last time the Tartars broke the city and there was only one of the four families in Jinzhou, and this time so many Jurchens died, I'm afraid they will slaughter the city!"

The head of the Wang family nodded: "Hundreds of Jurchens died outside the city before, and the commander ordered to select 10,000 Han people to accompany the burial, and this time I am afraid that Jinzhou will not be spared." ”

"Is there no way?"

"Maybe there's another way?" Someone said something in surprise, and everyone looked at him expectantly.

"As long as the imperial army comes, we will organize the team to break through the city wall with the outside and the outside, and then offer the family property, maybe we can keep the family safe!"

Everyone also pondered, do you really want to abandon most of the clansmen!

Zhao Lao looked at everyone and shook his head and sneered: "You can give it a try, I wish you success and send off guests." ”

"This, Zhao Lao Mo is angry, we are just discussing it casually!"

"Hey! You guys! What is the combat effectiveness of the Han army, the more than 8,000 troops in Jinzhou can be inferior to the tens of thousands of border troops in the Ming Dynasty, but what is the result! You still want to cooperate with the outside and the inside, listen to my advice, and the princes will go all out to fight against the Tartars, this is the last ray of life! The old man got up and left.

"This!" Everyone bowed their heads and was silent, with all kinds of expressions, demonstrating the various states of life.

"What's next, my lord?" Wu Jiu, who was excited, didn't sleep well all night, but he didn't expect them to really defeat the Jinzhou City occupied by the Tartars.

Chen Xiong didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "Wu Liu led people to send an order for the young people in the city to gather outside the city gate in the afternoon, and those who don't come will leave Jinzhou immediately, otherwise they will be punished as traitors." ”

"It's the lord." Wu Liu clenched his fists and saluted before leaving.

"Wu Jiu, you continue to find someone to make scarecrows and wooden figures, and then I will select a carpenter for you, and you can make as many wooden figures as you can in the next few days."

"It's the lord."

After Wu Jiu left, Chen Chang looked at Chen Xiong eagerly: "What about me, lord?" ”

"Don't worry, you are indispensable, Chen Chang, you will take your men and horses to gather all the ships and sailors in Golden State to the nearest dock, and by the way, let people find an island where they can settle down temporarily." Both the Tartars were disgusted with the navy, so the sailors brought by the traitors were now close to being abandoned. As soon as they left the land, the Tartars could only withdraw their troops.

"It's the lord."

After Chen Chang also left, Chen Xiong realized how few people under him were doing things.

"My lord, all the heads of the Golden State have arrived."

"Let's go, see what the attitude of these people is."

As soon as the heads of the family returned from the Zhao family, they received a general order from the Han army and rushed over immediately.

"Old Zhao, sit down, I didn't expect you to come too."

"If the old man doesn't come, it's hard for me to be an unfilial son, and it just so happens that the old man also wants to meet our Han heroes." The war in Liaodong has been going on for decades, and the Han people have lost almost every battle, and hundreds of thousands of border troops of the Ming Dynasty have never achieved such a big victory.

"What Elder Zhao said is very true, the Jinzhou Tartars are all destroyed, which is an unprecedented joyful thing."

Chen Xiong stood outside the door for a while before the heads of the family noticed him. There were more than a dozen wooden guards around him, showing his different identity.

"I am glad to have all of you come to the Humble House." The fat brother learned to clench his fists on TV and said.

The people were astonished, and it seemed that the Lord had arrived.

"Presumably, the general army is the commander of the Han army! Sure enough, he is a hero from ancient times. Although Chen Xiong is already in his twenties, he looks like he is about twenty years old in terms of skin color and facial features. For these middle-aged and elderly people, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are young.

Chen Xiong smiled lightly: "I dare not be ashamed of the word hero." ”

The more Zhao Lao looked, the more satisfied he became, Chen Xiong's face was definitely a blessed person, and it seemed that the difficulties in Jinzhou might not be able to be revitalized.

"The general was humble, and the general swept through the Jinzhou Tartars in a month, winning every battle, which was a shocking change that the Han people had not seen for decades. If the general was born twenty years early, why did Liaodong rot so much! Pity so many people, all of them have been ......" Zhao Lao, who had a sour nose, was speechless, and now he regarded Chen Xiong as the only and last savior of the Zhao family and the Han people in Jinzhou.

"Won the prize~ Mr. Yu, if you are a flower, you haven't asked for advice yet." The tall and thin old man was full of energy, and his moist eyes still showed the wisdom of a wise man.

Zhao Zhongnan is sixty-two years old, he was already born more than 30 years ago, and he was a famous talent in Liaodong when he was young. Over the past few decades, Liaodong has changed dramatically. Jinzhou was repeatedly captured by the Ming and Qing armies, and the Zhao family was able to retreat in the war. What's even more rare is that the Zhao family's reputation in Jinzhou has always been very good.

Chen Xiong sat down, looked at everyone and said: "Time does not wait for me, the current situation, you must already know." I want to organize the Han people of Jinzhou to repel the Tartar army, and then collect ships to go to sea, first leave Liaodong and then return to the south to recruit troops and horses, and in the coming day I will wash Liaodong in blood to pay tribute to countless comrades. You are willing to help me, of course, you can also leave on your own today or leave Liaodong before leaving. ”

"There is no need for the general to question, my Zhao family is going all out to live and die with the general." After Zhao Lao finished speaking, he straightened his waist and looked directly at everyone: "Now that you have no way out, Jinzhou Yu Tartar will not die." ”

"Okay, Zhao Lao Zhuanghuai. My Liu family is not a bad breed, and my Liu family will never die in the Tartars. ”

"Yes, not to die."

The heads of the families also understood that even if the Han army was defeated in the end, the Tartars would pay a terrible price. Even if they don't support the Han army, in the end, they Jinzhou Han people will die without a place to be buried. If you go all out, you may be able to escape the Golden State, and if you sit still, you will definitely die.

The heated discussion soon ended happily, and Chen Xiong also rushed to the prisoner camp non-stop.

The three thousand traitors looked at the man on the high platform with various expressions. This man is only wearing simple leather armor, not mighty or tall, but his majestic body is domineering.

"Without further ado, I don't care what you've done before, starting today, the past will be written off. I also know that you are all forced to be helpless, if you can choose who wants to be a traitor. ”

The traitors first felt lucky, and then felt a burst of sadness, how could this fate be under their control.

"I give you two choices, one is to leave Jinzhou immediately, and the other is to join the Han army and kill the Tartars with me."

Chen Xiong ignored everyone, but the traitors seemed to be still hesitating.

He had patience and decided to give them some time to think about it.
