Chapter 819. The prince's chapter of the Ming Hua Su people
Conscripts have a good side, there is also a bad side, now the bad side is exposed, this capital army from the Ming Dynasty does not know whether the military training is not in place or the back door of the entrusted, anyway, there is no common Ming army that kind of shrewd and capable, do the work to twist and pinch, have to push.
Fortunately, the samurai soldiers under the two subordinate families of the Goryeo Army and Tokugawa Toyotomi were still down-to-earth and willing to work, and they took the lead, and in three days, the Snake City, which had suffered a catastrophe, was re-cleaned up.
The corpses were eaten by wild beasts for a long time, and many people's heads were hunted away by the Indians, although Mao Xingjian tried his best to identify them, his subordinates, Shangguan Meng, Nangong Bingwen, Chen Zao, Chen Yi, Geng Geng Neck Jin Lao Liu, they still did not find any of them, and in desperation, Mao Xingjian could only personally hoe and dig out a tomb for the big guy on the slope of the frozen back of the city, just like those lonely souls on the way, and buried the big guy together.
The soil was sealed, and in the slight emotion of the Ninth Corps, Mao Xingjian once again knelt deeply in front of the tomb and kowtowed three times.
However, after remembering the dead, the living still have to live.
The four principles of survival summed up by the later generations of Bei Ye Deye, shelter, water, fire, food, now the residence is satisfied, although most of the houses have been destroyed, but they are still intact, if you are not afraid of ghosts, 8,000 people live is not too crowded, there are wells on the water mountain, there is a snake river under the mountain, the fire has a lighter as a fire, those broken houses can also be dismantled into wood, the only thing is that the food is difficult, Mao Xingjian did not complete the order of the military department to hoard food in the gem sea for half a year, so that Adriana's army is only enough for three months, She still has military tasks to complete, so naturally it is impossible to give Mao Xingjian too much, the march took ten days, it took three days to clean up, and the canned food and grain and rice on the car were counted, and it could not support it for a few days, and how to feed the 8,000-strong corps under her command has become an urgent problem at present.
More than half of the Prince's Mansion collapsed, but even if it wasn't broken, Mao Xingjian didn't want to live here, next to the edge of the entire city, he used a house that was nearly half burned down and the coldest as a temporary headquarters.
A few pieces of charred wood crackled in the fire, a cowhide map was nailed to the table, on the north bank of the Snake River, a Su character was greatly covered, and below was six small settlements of the six Sioux tribes, on the south bank of the Snake River, a large Apache red dot fell there, and further south, next to the edge of the Great Salt Desert, Cheyenne, Shoshone, already a large circle of black feet, open nose, these tribes only have names, but there is no specific station, because unlike Apache, these tribes have not yet touched farming, No settled houses have been built, and Mao Xingjian does not know where they have migrated now.
A heavy dagger flew up and down in Mao Xingjian's hand, looking at a few heavy dots on the map, he hesitated.
"Prince! Are you still soft-hearted now? In a few days, the army will run out of food, and when the time comes, we will not have to attack these barbarians, we will have to starve to death here, so quickly pick a barbarian and grab it!"
The difference between the Liaodong Military Academy and the Beijing Military Academy is estimated to be the difference between Tsinghua University and Peking Jiaotong University Nankai and a certain vocational and technical college in later generations, Mao Xingjian even doubted how these guys passed the graduation exam, listening to the nerd with gold wire glasses, he couldn't help frowning, but just for a moment, he couldn't help but sigh.
He has been taught a lesson! Arrogant and untamed, he thought he could do anything, but in the end, he hit his head and broke the bloodstream, killed so many people, and became the laughing stock of the world.
"It's easy to grab one, and it's not hard to find food to keep the army through the winter! But what about the surplus food that is difficult to do now? ”
"The Sixth Department still has hundreds of thousands of stone grain in their hands, and if they have all this food in their hands, it is enough to support Marshal Adriana's army for a year! With food, there is a way to convince her to reconquer the Snake River Valley!"
"But if you rob one of them, it will immediately cause panic in the remaining five, better, they burn the grain and hide in the mountains again, if it is worse, they will use the food as a price to seduce the six tribes of Henan to attack again, the local men and women are soldiers, plus a piece can launch an army of 60,000 to 80,000, with your ......, cough cough, there is only one corps, we can't get cheap!"
Sighing, Mao Xingjian stretched his hands heavily at the regiment commander and staff officers under his command.
"Is there anything you can do?"
"Forehead ......"
As Mao Xingjian expected, a group of guys looked at each other, some with super heads, and some admired the tips of their boots, but the only gain was that this time there was no awkward feeling of the previous forced order.
Fortunately, Mao Xingjian didn't expect much from them, and after quieting down these guys, he shook the dagger in his hand, he stared at a few Sioux tribes and then pondered, he was forced to have no choice but to divide his troops and strive to break through the most Sioux settlements in the shortest possible time and recapture the most grain!
At this time, Mao Xingjian missed Song Yongzhong very much, if he was there, he would definitely help him plan the best offensive route in the shortest possible time, maybe with him, he wouldn't have lost so badly, right?
Just when Mao Xingjian was thinking deeply, the orderly outside the door hurriedly ran in, shouting hurriedly.
"Prince! A man outside the town was stopped by a sentry and sent someone to bring a message, saying that it was your old friend, the prince, and asked to see you!"
As soon as these words came out, Mao Xingjian immediately became excited, on this cold continent, it is estimated that only Song Yongzhong is now called his old man! Before leaving, he had seconded Adeleena to the command of the New World expedition, but he didn't expect him to arrive so quickly, he didn't even put on his clothes, and in the surprised eyes of a group of staff officers, Mao Xingjian didn't even wear a coat, and pulled his boots to welcome him out with excitement.
But rushing out of the town full of hope, the smile on Mao Xingjian's face couldn't help but stiffen, and the next moment, his eyes actually became blood-red, and the green tendons on his head couldn't stop beating because of anger, and before the patrol captain saluted, the prince had already rushed up in a rage like a lion, hooked his fist into the man's face, and smashed him into the snow, and then pulled out the dagger from the sentry's waist and pressed it directly on the man's throat, his voice trembled, and he roared with anger and trembling.
"You still dare to come to see Lone!"
Nosebleeds flowed from Gao Ting's nose, Su Yu, the first Indian that Mao Xingjian came into contact with, was also his most proud work, with a helpless smile on his face, he shook his head with a wry smile.
"Prince, son of the Lord of a Thousand Oxen, my ...... Brother......, remember? I told you a long time ago that if you disobey the heavens, you will be in trouble! They serve the highest gods! Heaven of Eternal Life! All the Indian tribes believe in them!"
"Just for a few words from a few witches, you can betray Lone, we have been together for so long, and you still call me brother! Why? ”
His eyes were also red, and the sharp dagger blade had even pressed a blood mark on Su Yu's neck, everyone betrayed Mao Xingjian, he could understand it, even Chilu He could understand it, but only Su Yu betrayed him, he was too incomprehensible! It's so hard to let go! He couldn't figure out why! Staring into his eyes, Mao Xingjian hissed and roared as hard as he could.
His hands trembled, but Su Yu groped up from his arms, and after a while, a book with a blue cover was actually pulled out by him and placed in front of Mao Xingjian's eyes, and the slightly brown pupils seemed to show a sense of nostalgia, Su Yu asked with feeling.
"Do you remember when you taught me literacy and told me about the Spring and Autumn Period? The two heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period, Xuanhe Daliang City! Hou Ying achieved Xinlingjun and repaid his righteousness, but he betrayed his country and pulled Wei to the opposite side of Qiang Qin, even if he killed Xie Jun, these evil consequences were also cast and irreparable!"
"You saved me, it's my Blood Alliance brother! But I'm a Sioux after all! If the Su tribe does not join the alliance formed by the Heavenly Witches, the other tribes will regard the Su as mortal enemies, and the Su will also be separated from Germany, and they will perish like the Wei State! So I reversed Hou Ying's actions, first to repay loyalty, and then to repay righteousness!"
Looking at Mao Xingjian's eyes, Su Yu calmly carried a sense of guilt and gratitude, and his tone became anxious because of excitement.
"From the day Snake City was burned down, every ten years, I will return here, if I don't see you again before the ice and snow are civilized, Su Yu will die here, like Hou Ying repaid Wei Jun to repay the prince for your righteousness! It's ...... to see you back now It's wonderful!"
Holding Mao Xingjian's hand holding the dagger, he pressed the sharp tip of the dagger against his heart, choked, and nodded emphatically.
"Kill me with your own hands! Let's put an end to this grudge! ”
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? I couldn't suppress it anymore, trembling, choking, letting the tears lie down the corners of my eyes, and suddenly, Mao Xingjian raised his head and roared violently at the gray sky.
"Ahh!!h
Puff~
The blood gushing out of the blue skin "Spring and Autumn" dyed red!
…………
Time passed bit by bit, and the blood that flowed out was also solidified into frost in the cold wind, I don't know how long, looking at Su Yu's expression that was also solidified, that look of loyalty and satisfaction, for a long time, Mao Jue staggered to stand up with the dagger, his face was still stained with splattered blood, his eyes were red, and he turned gloomily, this scene frightened more than a dozen staff officers and regiment commanders all trembling.
Pulling out the dagger and returning it to the stunned sentry, Mao Xingjian waved his hands as he walked towards the town tiredly.
"Although he is a man of the enemy country, he is also a loyal man, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and bury him!"
"He's a Sioux man?"
In the group rate, Tong Zamu, who was finally shrewd and capable, and the only officer selected from the descendants of the grassland bansheng said subconsciously.
"In the etiquette of the Mongols, the corpses of the tribesmen are returned, and even the Gentiles must be treated with good wine and meat to repay the kindness, and I don't know the ...... of the Indians."
Before he finished speaking, the back of his head had been assigned to his chief of staff, and the fat fat officer Cao Gufeng slapped the back of his head with hatred of iron and steel, and inadvertently let the Mongolian barbarians lead astray! Rectal? The prince said that he was a loyal and righteous man! How dare you do something with his corpse? Isn't this looking for a draw?
It's a pity that he still didn't stop it in time, his eyes were red, his face was full of blood and hideous, Mao Xingjian still turned his head.
"You! Say what? ”
