Chapter 42: Maling Road
But he forgot that he was also a Han Chinese. On the night when Zhang Dou defeated Xujiatun, Liu San wanted to go to Yangguanbao to deliver a letter to the Jurchen master.
With the vicious-looking soldiers guarding all the paths, he found no chance of escape.
On the way to leave the next day, Liu San finally found an opportunity to take advantage of the unpreparedness and secretly ran away. Along the way, this kid didn't dare to delay, and ran to Yangguan Fort with his life.
By the time he ran to Yangguan Fort, he was so tired that he couldn't breathe, and although he was very tired physically, his heart was extremely happy.
He heard from his brother that as long as the Han people made meritorious contributions, they could raise their nationality. can be a noble Jurchen, and at that time he will not be Liu San, but the noble Liu San.
He came to Yangguan Fort with excitement, and when he told Mubu the news that hundreds of thieves had attacked Xujiatun, Mubu jumped up at that time.
This paid off, under his rule, he was attacked by the beggar soldiers in Dongjiang Town, and a tunzi was knocked out. The people inside also left with those Ming troops, which made Mu Bu, who had promised to be superior in force, furious.
Immediately, he took a bull from Yangguan Fort and chased him straight to Zhang Dou's team. He knew that those Han people had never had enough to eat, and they couldn't run fast at all.
It's okay for the rebels in Dongjiang Town to run on their own, and maybe they can escape into the sea before they catch up with them. But if they take the people with them, they will surely be overtaken by themselves.
He knew the Ming army very well, and one of his cattle was enough to deal with thousands of Ming troops. It can be used as one as ten, and looking at these armor soldiers is enough to kill all those beggar soldiers in Dongjiang Town. As long as he didn't encounter the Ming army on the banks of the Hunhe River, he would have absolute confidence to win.
So after Mubu got the news, he chased him down non-stop. Liu San was put on the butt of the war horse and ran forward, and he felt his ears whirring with the wind.
It turned out that he had always envied those Jurchen masters who rode tall horses, but now he felt that riding a horse was simply a sin. The ears are whirring and the wind is not to say, and even the thighs are grinding and hurting.
Looking at the Jurchen master who was focused on riding a horse, he gritted his teeth and held on, not daring to cry out in pain. He was afraid that he would be thrown off the war horse by the Jurchen master if he was in pain, and there would be no hope of raising his nationality at that time.
They chased the journey for half a day on horseback, and finally found debris abandoned by the people on the road. It seems that those beggars in Dongjiang Town also realized that they couldn't escape if they went on like this, so they had begun to abandon the things that got in the way and moved forward lightly.
Immediately, Mubu sped up the speed of the horses, and as they advanced, they found something discarded by the roadside from time to time. After riding for a while, they found the dead man lying on the side of the road.
Mubu knew that he was not far from those Ming troops. As long as you work harder, you will definitely be able to catch up with the Ming army. Then it was time for them Jurchens to kill to their heart's content, and when they chased to the side of a forest, a sudden rain of arrows shot out of the woods.
These feather arrows were very vicious, and they were all highly poisonous, and the Jurchens who were shot died instantly. Seeing that more than a dozen of his armor soldiers fell in an instant, Mu Bu's eyes turned red all of a sudden.
He roared angrily, "Dajin warriors, dismount and kill all these Han people!" Following his order, the Jurchens dismounted. The screaming monster rushed into the woods to find the Ming army for a decisive battle.
After Zhang Dou left with the villagers, he began to think about how to get on Changsheng Island. Since Changsheng Island is an island, then going to the island will definitely require a boat. He now even lost his van in a thousand mountains, let alone a ship.
The soldiers took turns carrying the heavy artillery out of the mountains, otherwise they would not have wasted so much time in the mountains.
It seems that you can only go to Beixinkou, which is the closest to Changsheng Island, and then look for a sea ship to land on the island, and if you can't do it, you can make a raft. Anyway, the nearest point of Changsheng Island in Beixinkou is only 3 miles, and there is no wind and waves, so you will definitely be able to land on Changsheng Island.
At that time, if you buy some sea boats from those smugglers, you can also protect the safety of Changsheng Island. Just as he was thinking, Xu Lianshan ran up quickly.
"Big boss! Liu San's kid is gone. Hearing Xu Lianshan's title, Zhang Dou almost fell to the ground. is a dignified boss, but he is called the master, which makes Zhang Douqing embarrassed.
But on second thought, this is not bad, at least it can confuse the Jurchens for a while. As long as he is given enough time to develop, Zhang Dou has the confidence to defeat any enemy.
"Who is Liu San?" Zhang Dou asked.
"Liu San, this kid is the younger brother of Liu Er, the clothed slave who was killed, he is only 15 years old. At that time, the little ones were busy settling accounts with Jiannu and didn't notice him. When he left, this kid still took the initiative to join the team, and the little ones relaxed their vigilance against him, and when they were resting just now, the little ones found that this guy was gone. Xu Lianshan said.
"It's all careless, I didn't pay attention to this little cub. He will definitely go to Yangguan Fort to report the news, and the little one will personally arrest him and hand him over to the big boss for disposal! After Xu Lianshan finished speaking, he was going to organize people to chase Liu San.
"Wait! Don't chase Liu San anyone, whoever chases me is in a hurry! Zhang Dou heard that someone went to Yangguanbao to report the news, and he was not in a hurry at all, but was very happy. His performance made Xu Lianshan's head grow for a while, and he said in his heart: Isn't this big boss stupid by the Jurchens!
But Zhang Dou remembered the very interesting battle example "Maling Road".
Then Zhang Dou's arrangement made Xu Lianshan confused, and first threw pots and pans, quilts and mattresses and other things on the road while walking.
At first, they were discarded in one or two pieces, and then they were simply discarded in batches. At the beginning, some villagers were reluctant to throw away their only belongings, but they were afraid that Zhang Dou would leave them to the Jurchens, so they obediently threw their things away.
Later, Zhang Dou actually asked the villagers to abandon a fallen villager on the side of the road, which caused an uproar among the villagers.
A middle-aged man who was a little older came out and said, "This chief, the dead are the greatest, and the younger ones were tortured by Jiannu during their lifetime, and they should be buried in the earth after death." Since the adults sincerely lead everyone out of the sea of suffering, why do they still abuse the corpse? ”
"Folks! Let everyone discard things in order to lure Jiannu into taking the bait, and now discarding the fallen people is even more to lure Jiannu to pursue us. As long as Jiannu is fooled, we can eliminate Jiannu. Then it will be the same if this brother is buried in the ground! Zhang Dou began to explain to the villagers.
Qin Shi had a certain opinion about Zhang Dou being so polite to the villagers. He whispered to Zhang Dou: "Big brother! Let's just explain it to them! Just order them to throw it away, and they don't dare not listen! ”
"O stone! Now we are in the hinterland of Jiannu, and we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. There is a Liu San who reports to Jiannu today, so it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang San and Wang San will not appear tomorrow. So let's try to make them willing to do things for us, if someone really eats inside and out, rest assured that the big brother will not be soft! Zhang Dou said.
The villagers showed great enthusiasm when they knew that Zhang Dou was going to ambush Jiannu. They hated the Jurchens so much that they expressed their willingness to help, even some young women had to help.
Looking at the enthusiastic villagers, Zhang Dou knew that it was the Jurchens who had really harmed them. Once the people are angry, no one can stop their torrent.
A few years later, Huang Taiji did better than his father, and he immediately reused Hanchen after he ascended the throne. The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were established to divide the land among the Han people. They were no longer treated as slaves, and half of the tenant rent was collected as a tax.
His series of measures won the hearts of the Liao people, quickly stabilized the rear, and greatly enhanced the national strength, and even some Liao people who fled to the Ming Dynasty fled back. It laid a solid foundation for entering the customs in the future, and it can be said that without Huang Taiji, there would be no future Qing Empire.
Zhang Dou wanted to use the precious time of Nurhachi's perverse actions in the past few years to win the support of the Liao people. Training the Liao people who hated the Jurchens to fight the Jurchens, in general, was to use the Liao soil to raise the Liao people, use the Liao people to train the Liao soldiers, and defeat the Jurchens to cast an unbreakable steel backbone for China.
The Jurchens of Yangguanbao lived up to Zhang Dou's expectations, and they came a little earlier than Zhang Dou estimated. As they approached the woods, Zhang Dou ordered an immediate attack.
The dense crossbow arrows made more than a dozen Jurchens fall off their horses at once, and a smile appeared on the face of Zhang Dou, who looked at the Jurchens who dismounted and rushed over.
