Chapter 445: The People
Mobei is a bitterly cold land, and the herders can finally come out to graze after the snowstorm of the whole winter.
The snow here is really stained and killed, and can instantly freeze the entire flock into ice lumps, and only a few wolves can live here.
Su Hazhi walked out of the low yurt, his face was full of joy, and he would soon be able to spend this winter in peace, and it was already a very rare thing that they did not die because of the chaos this year.
In Mobei, the forces of all parties are like bandits, this is the world of the weak and the strong, and the herdsmen of weak tribes like them have been bullied and killed all their lives. However, the previous big tribes would not kill them all, because they still needed to leave a few grazing and giving birth to children until they came to kill and rob again.
Su Hazhi has been like this for several generations, and many of his uncles died under the iron horses of Horqin, but now it is different, and the Horqin tribe has been wiped out because of its proximity to Manchurian Jiannu.
Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, there is no such thing as the law of the jungle, as long as you pay a very reasonable tax, you can not only exchange it from the hands of the merchants who came and go to the iron pot that you couldn't think of before, but also live a stable and safe life. Especially the spirits brought by the merchants of the Central Plains, it was really a delicacy in the world, and Su Hazhi felt that the first half of his life was in vain.
The only headache for him is that he needs to go to the health center to learn Chinese, and those languages are really difficult to learn, especially for Su Hazhi, who is middle-aged. However, his two well-behaved and lovely daughters learn quickly. The children of the grasslands now speak in the language of the Han Chinese, and as in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there is no tuition fee here.
In the distance, a general wearing animal skin armor walked over, and when he saw him, he smiled and said, "Old Ha, what are you grinning at?" β
Su Hazhi turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Hong, a thousand households from the Lin Wei Institute, this place is vast and sparsely populated, so the relationship between the people is relatively close, especially these soldiers from the prosperous inland areas, who are very respected and liked by the Mongols.
Su Hazhi said in broken Chinese: "General Zhao, where are you going?" β
Zhao Hong pursed his lips and wanted to correct this person's grammar, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up, and said happily: "Lao Wu, who collected animal skins, is here again, I asked him to bring me some things and a letter from home last time, this time there must be a letter from home, I'll go get it." β
As soon as Su Hazhi wanted to reply, he saw his little daughter running over in a hurry, and the dirt under her feet splashed and stained her clothes. Su Hazhi raised his face, and just wanted to reprimand her, when he saw his daughter shouting: "The enemy is coming, there are many enemies, the enemy on a big horse, father, mother, run for your life." β
The teachers in this area of Harlem are from Shandong, so these Mongolian children speak authentic Shandong dialect with a strong Taishan accent.
Of course Zhao Hong could understand, Zhao Hong and Su Hazhi lay down together, and sure enough, there was the sound of horses' hooves. Zhao Hong got up, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted, "Lao Ha, give me a horse!" β
Su Hazhi hurriedly brought a horse that he rode long, Zhao Hong jumped on the horse, and said urgently: "You take the herdsmen to retreat south, damn, I want to see which one is not open." β
This is already the border of Mobei, since there is an enemy attacking, it is either other tribes in Mongolia or Rakshasas, Zhao Hong knows it.
In his mind, it was more likely that they were Tatars, because they had no grudges with the Rakshasa in the past and no enmity in the near future, and according to the concept of the Han people, he did not think that the Rakshasa would take the initiative to provoke the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
In the guardhouse, the border soldiers had already put on their sleeves and were confronting the cavalry opposite.
After Zhao Hong came, his second-in-command stepped forward and said, "Old Zhao, it's a Rakshasa person." β
Needless to say, the flags and clothes on the opposite side can already be seen that it is the notorious Rakshasa cavalry.
Zhao Hong sneered and said: "Send a fast horse, pick three good horsemen, and notify the Wuliang Mansion to inform the chief soldier, if not, report to the Marquis of Xiangxi." β
"Then it's not our business, let's clean up these dog thieves first." The big man Hu Ce was short-tempered, and the war horse under his crotch also neighed.
The cavalry on the opposite side were brightly dressed and very recognizable, they were the notorious Cossack cavalry. This group of people is a hussar who fights with spears, and the length of the spears is even more than twice the length of the body, and a Han general like Zhao Hong looks very awkward.
Napoleon said many years later: if I had Cossack cavalry in my troops, I would sweep the whole world with them. They were excellent light cavalry, but they were undisciplined and unwilling to dismount to fight, limiting their performance on the battlefield. They were so ruthless to the common people that they hated them all over Europe, both friend or foe.
The Cossacks were indeed brave and ruthless on horseback, and Hemir said to his three thousand cavalry: "Our leader has accepted the covenant of those pigtailed people in the northeast, and let us kill them in Mobei, which will become our next hunting ground." β
"What are you waiting for, kill!"
The Cossacks on horseback looked at the Han Chinese, who were less than two thousand people in front, so poor that they had only a few horses and strange equipment. Not a single Cossack, who took them in the eye, and the low walls that they built.
"I have long heard that the Han people in the south like to build walls, and now let them know that there is no wall on the grassland to resist our cavalry."
Zhao Hong looked at the cavalry opposite, visually measured the distance of the shot, and shouted: "Gunners prepare." β
As soon as the command flag waved, the cannonballs in the distance had already been loaded, and they were about to be fired when they waited for the flag to move again.
Hemir had no apprehension about going south, and he had long heard the story of Temujin's descendants conquering that rich land, where the mountains of gold and silver were piled up, and the people lived like gods. There was no one who did not yearn for that place, including these cavalrymen present.
"Rush... Slaughter these two-legged cattle and sheep, poke through their bodies, and feast on their women. The cavalry smirked and rushed over.
"Raise your gun!"
"Shoot!"
"Shelling!"
The standard Northern Expeditionary Army's three-plate axe, up with three moves to respond to all changes, the Ming army shot behind the wall, and the fire shot down a few war horses at the head of the row, and soon the huge cannon sounded, and even Zhao Hong was startled.
"Why is the cannon so loud this time?"
Like Hou Xuanyan's reaction, these people also complained about the firearms bureau arsenal in the rear, and this kind of sound was also a kind of torture for their own people.
After the arrival of the new artillery, these people have not been used, and the fighting in the border area has only begun to ignite today.
After a few rounds of firing, the Cossack cavalry finally rushed to the front, the infantry in front dispersed, and the cavalry behind rushed out from the middle.
Zhao Hong took the lead, in the grassland of Mobei, the tender green new grass was dyed red by the blood of the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army for the first time, and after a fierce battle between the two sides, Zhao Hong's men were three out of ten.
These Pao Ze brothers, who are far away from each other, have a deep friendship with each other, like their own siblings.
Seeing his brothers fall into the hands of the enemy chieftain who came for no reason, Zhao Hong's eyes were bloodshot, the whole person was like crazy, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth.
Hemir didn't expect that these people were so capable of fighting, his cavalry was first shot down by hundreds of people, and then he didn't take much advantage of the cavalry fighting.
But the situation on the field has slowly become clear, after all, the Rakshasas have the advantage of numbers, and their spears have also taken advantage of them, nailing many Han soldiers to the ground.
Zhao Hong's arm was wounded, his hands were dripping with blood, his face was extremely hideous, and he was slashed until the tiger's mouth was numb.
A group of people suddenly came in the distance, Zhao Hong saw that it was someone behind him, and he was not afraid, and when he looked back, it turned out to be the merchants of the Ming Dynasty who came to help with their men.
Zhao Hong took a mouthful of blood foam and scolded: "Lao Wu, this idiot, can't bring people to death." β
Hu Ce helped him swing a spear with a knife, and his shoulder was pierced by another cavalryman, Hu Ce cut off the spear with a knife, and said, "Kill! What are you waiting for. β
"Damn, there are too few people, this time it's planted here, fortunately, someone will help us avenge."
"What nonsense, killing one is one." Hu Ce dragged half of his immovable shoulders and slashed at a Rakshasa cavalryman, and then he was poked in the heart, blood flowed from his mouth, and he couldn't live. The huge body fell from the horse, Zhao Hong's heart seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he looked at his brother while killing, the moment Hu Ce fell from the horse, the blood in his mouth was not stopping, and his mouth was still shouting "kill"
Zhao Hong slashed open the Rakshasa ghost in front of him with a knife, and raised his head to the sky with a long roar, tearing his heart and lungs.
Merchants who go out of the fortress can carry guns, and in Guyuan, an important town in Shaanxi and Gansu, they receive a certain amount of guns and ammunition, and register them.
When they returned to the south of the Great Wall after completing the transaction, they had to go to the local guard office to return the guns, which was a rule set by the imperial court for fear that the merchants would encounter horse bandits in Jingbei.
Wu Boxiong, a fur merchant with many men under his command, heard the herdsmen say that the place had been attacked, and immediately brought people to help in the war.
In their eyes, Jingbei is already the territory of the Ming Dynasty and a place ruled by our Han people, so how can others get involved.
A strong country must produce a strong people, with high self-confidence and arrogance, and no one will be allowed to offend their country and nation. This, not to mention the present, our ancestors, used to be the best.
Zhao Hong was already a little desperate, thinking only about his brother's death, killing a few more...
The morning sun rose higher and higher in the distance, winter had passed, and the grassland had a familiar bloody smell.
Su Hazhi shook his head and fled south with the herdsmen, and this time the Han people's actions completely shocked them. It turned out that if you entered Jingbei Province, you would really be protected by those Han people. Although they knew that it was more about guarding the territory and protecting themselves, Su Hazhi and the herdsmen were still very moved. Many people have been crying tears, clenching their fists and blessing them in the bottom of their hearts.
Suddenly, a great earthquake trembled, and I don't know how many war horses rushed from their side.
The cavalry of Wuliang Mansion poured out, they didn't come after receiving the news, when the Rakshasa people and Wu Sangui met, the Hidden Elephant Battalion had already spread the news to Xia Wanchun.
If the Rakshasa people want to collude with the four feudatories, the first thing that comes to mind must be Mobei, and Xia Wanchun immediately gave an order to Wuliang Mansion. Therefore, the Rakshasa came to attack, and Wuliang Mansion knew earlier than Zhao Hong, and the general soldier Liu Zongbei personally led a large army to support.
Zhao Hong's messengers had only been gone for a while, and then they swept back with this army, eager to support their brothers.
Su Hazhi jumped down from the carriage excitedly and cheered loudly with the herdsmen, who were familiar with the military flag and armor, the army of Wuliang Province. Joy filled the land, and they never rejoiced at the sound of the hooves of their horses.
This spectacular scene has forever remained in the hearts of the herdsmen, especially the children, and no amount of indoctrination can compare to this experience, so that they can know better which country they are.
Among these large armies were the steppe people of various tribes, the Tatars of small tribes, and the Han people from the nine borders of Shaanxi and Gansu, but they all belonged to the Wuliang Mansion in the north of Jingbei of the Ming Dynasty. Their armor is the same, their weapons are the same, and now the language will be the same.
Woo.. Woo.. Woo, the familiar horn sounded, and Zhao Hong, who was red-eyed, was stunned, this was the offensive horn of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the past. Zhao Hong was born in the Fire Word Battalion, and he was so familiar with this voice that he couldn't be more familiar, and the horn sound that had brought them countless glory.
"The Wuliang reinforcements are coming, really fast, are they flying?"
The Ming army of the guard fell into ecstasy, and the Rakshasa people were so shocked that their faces changed greatly, and the rushing cavalry did not drag in the slightest, just like a torrent poured in, and they were thrown into battle in an instant.
The cavalry behind has not yet arrived at the battlefield, the battle is over ...
40,000 cavalry, killed the Cossacks in seconds, and some of them did not even see the appearance of the enemy.
Liu Zongbei rode out of the crowd, saw Zhao Hong covered in blood and his few hundred remaining brothers, and said softly: "We haven't lost an inch of land, we fought well, but we are late." β
Zhao Hong gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his mouth: "This revenge can't help but be avenged." β
Liu Zongbei nodded and said, "The Marquis of Xiangxi has reported to the prince, you know what the prince is like, wait for the order." Cut off all the heads of these people, hang them on their spears, and stick them into the border. β
In April of the third year of Jing Yu, when the battle of Mobei took place, the Cossacks in Eastern Europe were experiencing great changes.
The leader of the Cossacks, Khmelnitsky, led 8,000 Cossacks to revolt against the rule of Polish nobles and Catholic priests in the lower reaches of the Dnieper, and quickly swept through the territory of Ukraine. At the end of the same year, the city of Kiev was captured, and Khmelnitsky became the commander-in-chief of all Ukraine.
In August of the previous year, Khmelnitz signed the Treaty of Zborov with Poland, which recognized Ukraine as an independent administrative region and established a virtually independent Cossack principality.
However, last year, the Poles reversed their word, the war resumed, the Ukrainian army was defeated, and in September, the "Treaty of Whitechapel" was signed, and Poland occupied Kiev and regained its rule over Ukraine. Khmelnitsky asked Russia to send troops to fight against Poland, and Ukraine at this time was completely reduced to the land of Tsarist Russia. Historically, this reign lasted until 1991.
Tsarist Russia, which has a complete Ukrainian and Cossack cavalry, is bound not to sit idly by and watch this defeat, and Hou Xuanyan is even more at all, if people don't offend me, I will choose to be a prisoner, and I will not calm things down.
The big war is about to break out.
