Section 8 Returning to the Division
Early in the morning, Tulai came with Uncle Kuru - the military order to return to the division had been issued, and Kuru and the others would also enter the customs, but they would not go the same way, and the Kuru and the villagers who had entered the customs would have to wait with Abatai until the men of Mengetu had withdrawn from Grezhurgen before they could set off together, and the army had to go first. Kuru brought a mule, stuffed the reins into Li Yu's hand, and handed him a bag of dry food prepared by Aunt Naya, Li Yu didn't want to accept it, but he knew that Uncle Kuru and their lives were sad, and the food and livestock were in a panic. Turai helped him to continue, and he told Li Yu that the march was very hard, and it was not possible to carry armor and clothing without the help of livestock, and that the Dajin army had no salary, and had to bring its own weapons and food when going on the march, which were necessary for the journey.
Li Yu took out the piece of silver that Sanbeiler gave him, Kuru blocked it back, patted him on the head, and said solemnly: You have grown up, you can't always live with us, Ruth will have to go by herself in the future, and a little money on him will definitely come in handy. Seeing that Li Yu's eyes were red again, he hurriedly said a few words to Turai to take care of him, and left in a hurry.
Turai looked at Li Yu with a bitter face and comforted: Everyone has entered the customs, and it will not be too far away, and there will be a chance to meet in the future, so there is no need to be so sad. He told Li Yu that the Bayara brothers with the yellow flag liked him, and that Azigebel would ask the Great Khan to make him into the yellow flag, and that the brothers would not be alone together at that time. Turai also said that Azigebel is a little reckless, but this person is not bad-eyed, and he also takes care of his subordinates, and he will not suffer if he follows him, of course, Sibeile is learned and kind, and he is also a good master.
The next day, before dawn, the military trumpets sounded one after another in the camp of the Jin State, and the soldiers got up to eat some dry food and immediately left the camp and set off for the south.
On the road, Li Yu finally understood why Uncle Kuru was in a hurry to send him a mule, everyone in the Jin army brought cattle and pack clothes and armor in addition to the war horses, and many people also had Aha to wait, so they were very relaxed, so the marching speed was extremely fast. Li Yu didn't have much, but without this mule carrying dry food, luggage, and heavy armor, it would be difficult for him and his war horse to keep up with the team.
The wind and snow are not big, the team seems a little dull, only the snow can be heard creaking and squeaking on the snow, everyone is buried in walking and can't play the spirit, this trip is not fighting, there is no spoils to share, from Shenyang to back, but also have to take their own rations for more than ten days, this time it is a loss. There will be no battle on the way back, Baylor and Beizi walked together, and the Bayalas who followed them began to go their own way, and gradually mixed together, Li Yu unconsciously got together with the group of people with yellow flags in Turai, and the four Baylors didn't care about him when they saw him, and asked Turai to take care of it. Turai asked his Aha to help take care of Li Yu's mule, chatting quietly with Li Yu as he walked.
Turai quietly warned Li Yu that the discipline of the march of the Dajin army was very strict, and the team must not make loud noises and run around, let alone leave the team without authorization, that is a big crime, the Great Khan is extremely ruthless in this kind of thing, Zhu Shen is used to idleness, in the past, some people secretly left the team to hunt, and even went to rob, and the Great Khan caught and killed, and now everyone is honest. Turai said that the current speed is only 100 miles a day, which is very easy, and in the event of a war, it is necessary to seize time, and it is common to march 240 or 50 miles a day, and the Ming army cannot defeat us, and the main reason is that the march is too slow.
Li Yu whispered to ask Turai if the army of the Ming Kingdom was powerful, and when he saw that Turai was stunned by the question, he briefly talked about the matter of Salhu and the different opinions of the two Baylors that he heard last night, and Turai pondered for a while and said: The Ming army is definitely stronger than us, but the officials of the Ming Kingdom are too bad, they dare to be greedy for anything if they don't want to make money, and it is common to withhold and default on the soldiers' salaries, and even the army's rations, ordnance and horse material are not allowed to let go, and the life of the Ming soldiers is very miserable, and the family is so poor that they can't afford to support them. Some were forced to sell weapons, livestock and even wives, and they had to suffer from cold and starvation, such as the Ming soldiers in the Battle of Salhu, many people not only did not get their salaries, but they were driven to fight in the ice and snow without even a cotton coat. Turai also admitted that some Ming army officers raised families are still very strong, these people still have to be careful to deal with, Ming army officers can not treat soldiers as people, but they are very good to their own families, generally can be paid on time and are double pay, they basically rely on these families to fight, and at critical times also rely on families to protect their own lives, so whether the Ming army can win the battle depends on whether these officers' families can fight, if they defeat the Ming army will collapse.
Turai said disdainfully: "Although the Ming army's family members are strong, their numbers cannot be large, so this kind of play can scare people, but it is impossible to defeat us, because everyone in our Zhushen is a warrior." Then he patted his chest and said proudly: "One of our Baijia Bayala can beat five Ming country families, and our two yellow flag Baijia Bayala is the elite of the elite, one can beat ten Ming country family members, and we have never lost." ”
Iron spear, bull's eye on the side is also busy boasting about their own people, Wise Khan stipulates that each of the Eight Banners of Zhushen Niulu each selects more than ten people as the escort, this is the white armor Bayala, select more than 40 people who are good at riding and archery as cavalry, this is the red armor Bayala, and then select more than 50 people to wear cotton armor, responsible for attacking the city and pulling out the village, this is the black battalion soldiers. The people who can be the Baijia Bayala must be proficient in horsemanship, open a bow with more than ten strengths, and be good at foot combat and horse fighting, ordinary people simply can't meet this requirement, and many Niu Lu can't even get ten people, so when the Baijia Bayala soldiers not only have good horses and good weapons, but also have more opportunities to get military merits, and get more loot, many people want to cut their heads and get in. The iron spear pointed at the cavalry passing by and said: "Most of these people are red-armored Bayara, don't look at them with horses and armor, they all look very spirited, in fact, they are a fart, the real elite is us, otherwise how can they haunt us all day long." ”
The words of the iron spear lifted everyone's spirits, and they all straightened their waists. Thurai whispered close to Li Yu's ear, the relationship between the Baylors is very complicated, especially the Baylors who are in charge of national affairs, the third Baylor and the fourth Baylor say differently, you just listen, don't squeak, the matter between Baylor is not something that our soldiers can mix.
Looking at Li Yu's puzzled expression, Turai patted him on the shoulder: "Listen to me, you'll understand later." "And then I won't talk about it.
The march from Nong'anta to Shenyang was very hard, fortunately God helped not encounter a heavy snowstorm, Li Yu had the Turai brothers to accompany him all the way, relying on the iron body he had trained in the deep mountains and old forests to walk quite easily, Sibeile was very surprised that this little guy did not have Aha to wait for him to rely on a horse and a mule to survive, the daily journey of the Jin army is more than one hundred and fifty miles, the average person must fall behind for the first time to experience this kind of marching speed, Ao Bai is considered to be in good health, and the next day he sat in the car, Li Yu did nothing, He also took the initiative to take care of his little brother.
Li Yu is on this way, he eats when he should eat, sleeps when he should sleep, and when he is free, he learns some skills from Turai's gang to march and fight, Turai just likes Li Yu, and he can't wait to teach Li Yu all his skills. Sakhalian did not let go of Li Yu, seeing that he was alive and in good spirits, he stuffed the illustrated "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to him, so that he could read more words when he had time, there are Chinese characters in this book, as well as Mongolian and Manchu, Turai They know some Mongolian and Manchu characters, and everyone often blows about the story of the Three Kingdoms, Turai claims that their ancestors are also Han, and the Han surname of their Guarjia family is the surname Guan, so they are the descendants of Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, and the shrine of the Guerjia family worships Guan Gong, and Ao Bai confirms this, And said that the people of their family have the ability to fight because they are the descendants of Guan Gong, everyone doubts this, but also admits that the Guerjia family does produce heroes, such as Tulai, he has been with his father Fei Yingdong since the age of sixteen in the white mountains and black waters of Liaodong, good skills and knowledge, after Fei Yingdong took his fellow clansmen to defect to Lao Khan, he followed his father to participate in the big and small battles have not been broken, military achievements are remarkable, has long become the best among his peers, if it is not for his temper, he will not be an official, How can they mingle with their little soldiers all day long.
After a few days of marching up mountains and wading through rivers, I finally saw the city of Shenyang, and the dreary team let out enthusiastic cheers - whether there was any gain or not, it was always a joy to be able to return to my family. Jin Guo implements all the people are soldiers, out of the soldiers, into the people, going home means disbanding, the big Bel Dai Shan, the second Bel Amin and the little Bel Yue Tuo, Derge class representatives of the wise Khan out of the city to greet everyone, after a few words of encouragement to the soldiers, let everyone go back to their respective homes, everyone is already like an arrow, a while of the effort will be dispersed. Li Yu was homeless, so he could only wait for Sibeile's arrangement, and Turai and Aobai would accompany him without leaving, but Sibeile would not forget his own people, and soon instructed Aha to take Li Yu to Sibeile's mansion, and unceremoniously let them go home to Turai and Aobai, and the people with yellow flags did not want to abduct people.
Shenyang City was originally the Shenyang Zhongwei of the Ming Kingdom, the city is not big but very tall and strong, almost more than three zhang high, the city wall is also wrapped with green bricks, and the city wall at the city gate is higher and thicker, built a tall and majestic city tower, the black cannon muzzle stretches out between the wall buttresses above, and there is an urn city inside the city gate. After looking at Shenyang City, Li Yu felt that the dwarf earthen cities such as Wula City and Nong'an City that he had seen before were not worth mentioning at all. Li Yu was still amazed by Shenyang City, and Ahha, who came out of the city to pick up his master, said disdainfully, what is this, Liaoyang and Guangning in Liaodong are much bigger than this, we used to ...... in Liaoyang, and he wanted to show off a few words to this Tubaozi who had never seen the world, but found that Tubaozi was staring intently at the city wall - the wooden poles stretched out there were full of human heads, about more than 100 levels.
Aha said lightly: "These people are the talents of the villages sent from Liaodong, they are bold, and they instigate the villages in the countryside to plot against them, and our Khan King has killed a few batches, which was just killed a few days ago, and these people are really, they don't stay at home honestly, what kind of trouble do they come out to make, and they lost their lives in vain." ”
Li Yu asked puzzledly: "What do Xiucai do, are they bad people?" ”
Aha looked down on Li Yu even more: "Xiucai, they are scholars with knowledge and fame, but they are Xiucai of the Ming Kingdom, and their hearts are towards the Ming Kingdom, so they instigate those unreasonable Nikans to abandon the desert and flee, surrender to the Ming Kingdom, and kill our Zhushen, these people should be killed!" ”
Li Yu shook his head and said puzzledly: "Scholars are knowledgeable and sensible, shouldn't they be bad people?" Saharam Bezi is a scholar, he is a good person. ”
Aha didn't want to pay attention to this dirt bun anymore, but after a while, Li Yu asked again without knowing the current affairs: "Big brother, are you Zhushen of that tribe?" ”
Aha blushed, lowered his head and replied, "I, I'm Baoyi Nikan." ”
The two seemed to have nothing to say, and walked with their heads buried in their heads.
After returning to Shenyang, the soldiers could go home after being disbanded, but Beile and Beizi had to go to the Khan's palace to resume their lives, and the children of the various prefectures who went out of the city to greet them also had to follow their own Ama and their brothers to listen to the Khan's teachings. However, today the Great Khan did not bother to care about his many children and grandchildren, and sent the people away in a few words, leaving only a few qualified Heshuobeiles to discuss politics in the Octagonal Palace.
The Great Khan is old, sixty-seven or eight-year-olds, don't look alive on the surface, but in fact, their energy is not as good as before. Lao Khan fought all his life, fighting with the Ming State, fighting with the Haixi tribes, and having to fight with his own family, until the Haixi tribes were annexed by him, and the Ming State was also driven out of Liaodong by him, and his younger brother Shuerhaqi was imprisoned and depressed to death, and the eldest son Chu Ying was killed after two years of solitary confinement, and the five founding ministers of the country, Fei Yingdong, He Heli, Hu Erhan and An Feiyangu, were all boiled to death, and the power was also attributed to the Aixin Jueluo family, and the struggle still could not stop. In the first year of the Mandate of Heaven, the old Khan once arranged for the four major bailes to manage the affairs of the machine, the five ministers to govern and hear the lawsuits, and the ten zarguqi to manage the state and take charge of the administrative and judicial power system, and at the same time stipulated that all kinds of disputes were tried by the zarguqi, and the five ministers reviewed, and finally decided by the Great Khan and the beylers, hoping to balance the internal parties, but these four sons began to fight again, and each of them was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they attacked each other by unscrupulous means, and the five ministers and Zarguqi seemed to be not so honest, and they each formed gangs, Fight each other. Old Khan was very skeptical that after a hundred years, these people would fight on their own, and when he thought that the foundation he had worked so hard to build might be destroyed by this group of unscrupulous guys, Old Khan panicked.
In the seventh year of the Mandate of Heaven, the old Khan came up with a new idea and set up a system of "eight kings co-governance", and stuffed his beloved old sons Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo, plus the three most outstanding little Baylors, Zilharang, Dege, and Yuetuo, into the center of power as the ruling Baylor, abolished the five ministers and set up eight capital halls to participate in state affairs and listen to lawsuits, and at the same time issued edicts; "Whoever has a plan will consult with the ministers of the ruling Bailes." In this way, the authority of the four major Baylors was dispersed, so that these guys would not bully others unscrupulously in the future. But the old Khan was soon disappointed, he used to favor the old Eight Emperors Taiji has a lot of eyes, and immediately hooked up with the three little Belles of Zilharang, Derge and Yue Tuo, and the first three of the first capital halls in the Eight Capital Hall, Adun, Huerhan, Urgudai and others also fell to the old eight, forcing Daishan, Amin and Mang Gurtai to immediately unite unprecedentedly, and unanimously aimed the spearhead at the old eight, and what is even more chilling is that the three little babies of the old Khan and the eldest concubine Abahai, Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo, were unanimously rejected by the two factions, and they couldn't touch it over there, Old Khan was a little overwhelmed and couldn't think of a better way. Now he was a little disgusted when he saw the old faces of the four big Baylors, and even the pockmarked face of the elder Azig annoyed him, on the contrary, he was happy to see the white and tender Dolgon and Duoduo, especially Duoduo, who the old Khan longed to hold in his arms every day.
Today's parliamentary meeting is the same as in the past, Duoduo sat in the arms of the old man, and the other Baylors sat in the order of the four flags of yellow, white, white, and blue on the left wing, and the yellow, red, red, and blue flags on the right wing, and the owner of the two flags was the old Khan himself, but he had made it clear that Azig was in charge of the yellow flag and Duoduo was in charge of the yellow flag, and in the future, the two of them were the flag owners, and the two of them were sitting on both sides of the old Khan. Da Beile Daishan is the banner owner of the two red flags, but the old Khan has ordered the eldest son of Da Beile Yue Tuo to take charge of the red flag, and he is likely to be the flag owner in the future, so Dai Shan sits on the seat of the red flag owner, and Yue Tuo sits on the seat of the red flag owner. Huang Taiji is the owner of the white flag, Mang Gurtai is the owner of the blue flag, Amin is the owner of the blue flag, and Du Du is the owner of the white flag, and they each sit in the seat of the flag owner. Derge and his elder brother Mang Gurtai held the same blue flag, and Zilharang also held the same blue flag with his brother Amin, and they all sat down next to their brother.
Du Du is the son of the former prince Chu Ying who was killed by Lao Khan, no one hurts when his father dies, he can only be a man with his tail between his legs, and the position of the flag owner is counted as a day, he is just making up a number, and it is the same thing for him to have him in the political council, and Abatai, who is in charge of the white flag with him, has not come back, in fact, even if he is back, he is not qualified to participate in the parliamentary meeting - Abatai is just a nameless Baylor, and the two bosses with white flags belong to the people who stand aside, and they only need to bring their ears when they come.
The third and fourth beylers told the old Khan about the situation of this dispatch, and also defended themselves for giving up the pursuit of Chahar Khan, but the old Khan didn't want to listen, he had expected this situation a long time ago, he waved his hand and thought about it, but Duoduo next to him interjected: "Fifth brother, starling brother, Chahar Khan ran away, why don't you chase it, I still want his three treasures!" ”
Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji looked at each other, the requirements of this little ancestor could not be done, Chahar Khan has three treasures - the jade seal of the country, the golden Buddha of Mahagala, and the golden text "Kangyur Sutra", which is Chahar Khan's beloved thing, but it is not something that can be grabbed casually, and the two of them are speechless.
Duoduo did not let them go: "You can't grab Chahar Khan's treasure, then he always has his steed and Ahha, did you secretly hide it and didn't want to give it to me?" ”
After Duoduo finished speaking, he turned his head to complain to his father Khan, who saw that the little baby was unhappy, and didn't care about the others, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Your brothers are old and useless, they ran away in vain and got nothing." It doesn't matter, Father Khan will take you there later, Chahar Khan's baby, as well as the horses on the steppe, Aha, Father Khan will give you whatever you want. ”
Duoduo was too young to be eleven years old, and every time he had a political meeting, he had to make such a fuss or two, and Sibeile looked at it with envy, when he was young, his mother was still alive at that time, and his father Khan loved him like this, but unfortunately it was more than ten years ago, and this kind of day would not come back.
After the old Khan comforted the little baby, he immediately remembered the serious matter, now Liaodong is in chaos, the old Khan patronizes the killing, after killing the poor Nikan of the "man without grain", and kills Xiucai, the more people who kill, the more people who run, Liaodong is full of barren land, coupled with this year's spring cold and drought, there is a famine in the place, even in Shenyang City, there are people starving to death, not only Nikan but also Zhushen, everyone's life is almost unbearable, Lao Khan immediately remembered Mingguo, a rich neighbor, but Mingguo doesn't seem to want to be a neighbor with him, The Ming State attacked Yaozhou in September this year and was defeated in Liuhe, and this defeat of Liuhe led to the resignation of Sun Chengzong, the new Liaodong Jingluo Gaodi, who succeeded Sun Chengzong, did not seem to want to play with Houjin, and had ordered the Ming army to withdraw from Jinzhou, Youtunwei and Ningyuan, Qiantun - Ningjin Defense Line that belonged to Ningqiandao did not want to be wanted, and wanted to return to Shanhaiguan.
The old Khan was angry, this is not to give the people of the Jin Kingdom a way to live, and immediately wants to attack the Ming Kingdom, so that he can grab some food and cloth next year.
As soon as Sanbeile heard what Lao Khan said, he immediately became anxious: "I said a long time ago not to force those people in Liaoxi to be anxious, they can mix in Liaoxi, and we can also get clean, and now we have to drive them away, and we will also be in trouble." ”
The Ming army is going to run away, and it will definitely take the common people away, then Liaoxi will be a desert, with the strength of Dajin can not control this area at all, let alone Liaoxi, it has been three years since Guangning took it, what Dajin can do is to move the Han people to the east of the Liao River, and at the same time tear down the city wall, and send two or three hundred attached Mongols to guard while herding sheep. If Liaoxi is empty, and the Dajin country has developed to the strength to send people to garrison, the surrounding grazing Mongols will take advantage of the situation and use it as their pasture, and then Dajin will be the neighbors of these poor guys than Dajin, who will rob who can't say for sure, and there are nearly thousands of miles from Shenyang to Shanhaiguan, not to mention whether they can grab the spoils of war, just a trip will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. All Baylor unanimously scolded the Ming State's Liaodong Jingluo Gaodi, and resolutely opposed the Ming State's withdrawal from Liaoxi.
At this time, the four Baylors, who had been silent, spoke.
