Chapter 99: Manifesto
Hai Linbao, as a fierce an, of course, can only kneel on the main hall to listen to orders.
The people kneeling around him were all Meng'an-level military nobles of the same level as him, all of them with tigers and bears, with unruly expressions on their faces, and occasionally someone raised their bare heads, and their eyes were full of beast-like cruelty.
These people made the sprawling palace look more like a den of beasts than the political heart of a powerful empire.
At the top of the position, the voice of the Great Khan continued to come.
In fact, there is nothing good to hear, there is never any special danger in the southward raids, but what everyone is most concerned about is where the target is this time, and how much military rations need to be prepared to go there.
Another point is that the various armies need to be spread out as much as possible and expand the attack area in order to loot more supplies.
Of course, this is the way most people think in the past, or now, and Hai Linbao is a little different from them.
'The left flank of the army, after crossing Cangzhou, attacked and swept the first line of Qi Province and Su Province, and reached the ...... of the Yangtze River, which is great! ’
As a middle-level nobleman, he only listens to the actions of the Bo Ji Fierce level, and has no right to suggest. But after the route of the Bo Ji Fierce level army is set, how he acts within this range can be operated.
For example, he offered some beauties, horses, gold, silver, and silk to the master of Sushi Lie Zhining, and asked the master to allow him to lead the army to deviate from the main axis of the attack and sweep the province of Qi to the east.
That's where his son Hai Huri went to loot last year and eventually disappeared, and Hai Lin Bao wanted to know what was wrong with Hai Huri.
In other words, which Han dog has the ability to kill a big gold country to find a knot.
'Wait, Han Dog, Grandpa is here!' ’
Hai Linbao thought proudly, thinking of the scene where those Han people knelt at his feet, offering their wives and daughters only to beg for mercy under their swords.
'It's a pity, the master will never let you go this time!' ’
……
The three of them are not secret, not to mention that there are far more than three people who know that the Tartars are coming, so the people in the fifteen tun system are now fluctuating.
There are even rumors that the Tartars will come directly to Juzhou and ask for Xu Shiyang's life by name, and they have already put down their words, leaving no chickens and dogs in the fifteenth tun, and digging out everyone's hearts and livers to avenge the Tartar leader who was cut off by Xu Shiyang last year.
Everyone was afraid, especially those who had come to the castle last year, whether they had been outcasts or bandits, and the fear of the Tartars was too deep.
But the old burghers didn't care much about it - they all had the blood of the Tartar on their hands, and they knew that the Tartar was just looking at the viciousness, and they hung them up, in fact, like pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Xu Shiyang recently deliberately reduced the training intensity of the Dingyuan battalion, and every afternoon, when the fort people came back from the fields, the Dingyuan battalion would return to the camp with them.
The troops that had experienced the real war had their own murderous spirit, and 500 soldiers sang majestically and highly, and returned to the camp in a neat queue:
The broadsword slashes at the heads of the Tartars!
Brethren armed throughout the country,
The day to kill the enemy has come, the day to kill the enemy has come!
There is the invincible Dingyuan camp in front, and there are ordinary people from all over the country in the back.
Let's work together to forge ahead bravely and see the enemy!
Wipe them out, wipe them out, wipe them out, rush them!
The broadsword slashes at the heads of the Tartars!
The song is completely plagiarized from another dimension, the "March of the Great Sword", which is completely different from the various traditional singing voices of this era, and in the eyes of the literati of this world, the lyrics are too straightforward, but the effect is absolutely outstanding.
This kind of lyrics, almost everyone can understand, sung in unison by hundreds of strong soldiers, even if the tune is changed, it can also make those ordinary fort citizens have a kind of pride that they are invincible in the world, and the Tartars are not Erer.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Shiyang convened a meeting of all the men and women of Bentun on the barn of Fort 153.
He stood on a makeshift wooden podium, draped in armor captured from the Tartars, but without a helmet so that his face could be clearly seen by the people below.
"Fellow citizens."
He said:
"I'm Xu Shiyang, you all know me, right?"
"Today, we stand here together, standing on the land of our Han people, behind which is the tablet of our ancestors, who have worked hard and watered the land under our feet with diligence and bravery."
"Can you see what we're doing now? A gang of robbers and savages from the mountains and forests ride on our necks to make a fortune! They trample on our dignity at will, the dignity of the greatest people in the world! ”
"When we die, how do we face our ancestors? Do we still have the face to meet them? Shall we say to them that your children are but a band of slaves? What will our children and grandchildren think of us? Or do we have no children at all? Shall we be cut off by the Tartars? ”
There was a commotion under the podium, cutting off children and grandchildren, this is probably the biggest curse for a Han person, right?
"Tell me you want to get down on your knees and wait for the Tartars' knives to come down, or take up arms and fight them! Do you want to be slaves, or do you want to be warriors? ”
"Do it with them!" A voice floated out of the corner, small, but clear.
"Yes, them!"
Xu Shiyang pointed to the restless crowd and shouted:
"I'm so proud! There are very few of us who want to be slaves! We killed the Tartars once last year! We can all prove that we are warriors and not slaves! “
"I won't hide it from you, this year, it won't be long before more Tartars will come to us, to the land left to us by our ancestors, what are they doing here? Of course not as a guest! They're going to kill us! They want to take our wives and girls and make them slaves! They are going to rob us of everything that our ancestors left us! They're going to cut us off! ”
"! They're eggs! ”
Xu Shiyang's voice had become hysterical:
"When we Han people were strong, they still lived in caves with bears as companions! These Tartars are a bunch of beasts! It's no different from the wild dogs and wolves outside our walls! After two days of eating, I really treat them as human beings! ”
"Lao Tzu tells you! I'm waiting for them to come! Lao Tzu wants to pull them out one by one, screw out their heads, and throw them out to feed the wild dogs! ”
"Lao Tzu is going to snatch their wives and daughters over and let their wives and daughters lick Lao Tzu's toes! Lao Tzu wants them to cut off their children and grandchildren! ”
"What about you? Tell me out loud! Do you want to give up your wives and daughters, and ask the Tartars to lift up their noble hands? Or do you want to join me, slaughter all the tartars, snatch their wives and give us a baby? ”
"him!" An angry voice rang out in the audience: "Kill the Tartars!" ”
"her!" This is Xu Er's voice.
"them! Kill the Tartars! ”
All the people of Dockfort roared together, and the sound shook the sky.
