Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume 1 Liaodong Shock

Chapter 5 Collecting Troops and Asking for the Future

Section 3 Martyrdom with Death

Liaoyang City, Liaoyang General Military Office.

Xu Wanxin sat in the room with a sad face, and in recent days, there has been an undercurrent surging in Liaoyang City. First, there were rumors that several armies in the imperial court were all defeated and were killed by Tartars, and later there were rumors that grandfather Liu Ling and father-in-law Liu Zhao died on the battlefield, and the life and death of her husband Liu Yunwei was unknown. And Yuan Mingxuan didn't know where to listen to the news, there was no exact news from the general military palace and the Liaoyang prefect, and the situation from all sides was contradictory, some said that the imperial court was victorious, and some said that the imperial court was defeated, and Xu Wanxin was dizzy when he listened. After thinking about it, Xu Wanxin instructed Qiaoling to pack up her things and prepare to go back to her parents' house to discuss with her father Xu Mingwei to see if she could use Xu Mingwei's relationship when he was an official to find out the news from the front.

Qiao Ling packed up her things and said to Xu Wanxin: "Miss, everything is packed, the next person has prepared the carriage and horses, when will we leave?" ”

"Now, let's go!"

Xu Wanxin couldn't wait for a moment, so she took Qiao Ling out of the General Soldier's Mansion and rushed towards Xu's Mansion.

It didn't take long for Xu Wanxin to rush to Xu's mansion and see Xu Mingwei.

As soon as they met, before they could bother to say goodbye to their father, Xu Wanxin asked eagerly: "Father, is there any news from the front?" ”

Xu Mingwei shook his head and comforted: "No, don't worry, Wan'er, what you hear now is just rumors, and you can't count them." ”

Xu Wanxin said strangely: "How can this be, this is a national war, how can there be no news from the front line?" ”

"It's also very strange to be a father, there was some news coming back before, saying that the imperial army was going well in a joint attack, and the general army of Du Song Du had already hit Salhu, but there was no news after that."

Xu Wanxin frowned, thought for a while, and said, "What about Shenyang?" Isn't there any order from Yang Jingluo's side? ”

Xu Mingwei said: "There is an order, it is for the defenders of Liaoyang, let the defenders strengthen their defense, saying that it is to prevent the harassment of Jiannu." ”

When Xu Wanxin heard this, her face suddenly turned bloodless, her body shook and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Qiao Ling next to her quickly held her up.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong, Wanxin?"

Xu Wanxin said with a sad expression: "Father, maybe the imperial army is really defeated!" ”

Xu Mingwei was shocked and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Xu Wanxin said: "There are more than 100,000 troops in the imperial court attacking Jiannu, it is said that Jiannu is already too busy to take care of himself, and Liaoyang City is still south of Shenyang, how can Jiannu come to harass him?" It can only be that the front-line army is defeated, and Jiannu will go south to plunder in a few days, so Yang Jingluo ordered Liaoyang to strengthen the garrison! ”

"This, how is this possible, more than 100,000 troops, it's only been a few days!" Xu Mingwei couldn't believe it for a while, and said: "It must be that the front line is in a stalemate, so it is possible for Jiannu to run to the rear to harass him, hoping to break the deadlock." Yes, it must be! ”、

Xu Wanxin thought about it carefully, the situation that his father said was not impossible, and hope ignited in his heart, so he asked: "Father, it's not a way for us to think nonsense at home, where else can we go to find out the news?" ”

Xu Mingwei didn't answer immediately, but walked around the room, thinking about it, while Xu Wanxin sat on the side and sobbed quietly. After a while, Xu Mingwei said: "Go to Shenyang!" My father still has some old friends who are still officials in Shenyang, so I may be able to ask something. ”

When Xu Wanxin heard this, he hurriedly said, "Father, I'll go too!" ”

Xu Mingwei immediately scolded: "No, now the army is in chaos, what are you going out to run around with Mrs. Qian!" For my father, take the family and go back quickly. ”

"Father, I can't stay any longer now, I just want to know how my husband, father-in-law, and grandfather are doing. I must go with you, even if you don't take me with me, I will go to Shenyang even if I go! I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death! ”

Xu Mingwei shook his head and said, "How did I give birth to a daughter with such a temperament as you." ”

Xu Mingwei's father and daughter immediately packed up, and brought more silver to prepare for the relationship, and asked the subordinates to prepare the carriage to go to Shenyang. In addition, Xu Mingwei also gathered all the fifty family members raised by Xu Fu and took them with him in case of accidents.

After everything was ready, Xu Mingwei and Xu Wanxin took Qiaoling and fifty family members out of the north gate of Liaoyang and rushed all the way towards Shenyang.

The group rushed to a place twenty miles south of Shenyang and passed through a village, only to see that the village was full of ruins and broken walls, and there was not a single living person in the village.

Qiao Ling exclaimed: "It's not far from Shenyang here, how can there be bandits robbing!" ”

Xu Mingwei and Xu Wanxin both knew when they saw it, where are the bandits, and the only ones who dare to loot near Shenyang are Jiannu! The father and daughter were shocked: the villages south of Shenyang had been plundered, and the things on the front line were really bad and auspicious!

Xu Wanxin said anxiously: "Father, let's hurry up, we must rush to Shenyang before dark!" ”

Xu Mingwei thought about it one step more, and wanted Xu Wanxin to go back to Liaoyang, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea, presumably this girl would definitely not go back, so he said: "Okay, let's hurry up." ”

In the evening, Xu Mingwei's father and daughter rushed to the outskirts of Shenyang, where everyone saw another looted village. Seeing that this was the case on the edge of Shenyang City, Xu Mingwei and Xu Wanxin glanced at each other, and a trace of despair swelled in their hearts.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone didn't dare to delay any longer and was about to continue on their way, when suddenly the sound of iron hooves came.

"The head of the house is not good! It's the voice of a war horse! The captain of the family on the side exclaimed, this captain of the family was from the battalion, so he could hear the sound of the war horse galloping.

Xu Mingwei was a little panicked when he heard this, and said, "This, this may be an official and military inspection." ”

Xu Wanxin said anxiously: "The outside of Shenyang City is about to become a Shura hell, where will there be officials and soldiers patrolling!" ”

So, everyone hurriedly entered this deserted village and hid, and the fifty family members consciously protected Xu Mingwei's father and daughter and Qiao Ling, and they all held knives and arrows in their hands, and became vigilant.

It didn't take long for everyone to faintly see from the ruins that about fifty or sixty Jiannu iron horsemen had stopped outside the village, and a few ugly Tartars were checking on something where everyone had stayed.

The captain of the family was taken aback when he saw this, and whispered to Xu Mingwei: "The master of the family, it is the Tartar of the white flag of Jiannu, it is estimated that they have found the traces we left." ”

"Ahh What a tartar! Xu Mingwei was shocked, and his body trembled a little.

Qiao Ling was even more frightened and cried, covering her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from crying.

Xu Wanxin's face was also pale, and she asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

The captain of the family said: "We have received the great kindness of the head of the family and cannot repay it, today has come to this point, we are here to resist Jiannu, the head of the family and the young lady leave quickly." ”

Xu Mingwei said almost in despair: "The Tartars are all cavalry, how can our carriage escape?" ”

At this moment, the Tartars outside the village made a loud noise, and suddenly a dozen Tartars rushed into the village.

The captain of the family roared: "Leave ten people to protect the head of the family and the young lady, and kill the rest for me!" ”

Forty family members shouted and rushed to the dozen Jiannu iron horsemen under the leadership of the captain of the family, and the ruined village instantly became full of killings, and the family members and Jiannu were strangled in one place.

The remaining ten family members escorted Xu Mingwei, Xu Wanxin, and Qiao Ling hurriedly retreated backwards and ran towards a relatively complete courtyard, five family members and Xu Mingwei retreated into the courtyard together, and the remaining five family members closed the courtyard door and blocked the door with horizontal knives.

At this time, the family members were all fighting on foot, and they suffered a big loss in the face of the charging iron cavalry, and the weapons in the hands of the family were mostly civilian weapons such as lancets, iron rods, and short guns, and they were not the opponents of Jiannu's tiger guns and knives at all, so they were suppressed by Jiannu in the fight.

The captain of the family was already seriously injured, and after fighting hard to repel one Jiannu, he looked around and found that there were only more than 20 people left in the family around him, and only three or four Jiannu were killed.

"Hey, after all, it still can't be compared with the family in the army." Captain Jia Ding sighed in his heart.

At this moment, the Jiannu outside the village also came in, and the captain of the family saw that the situation was not good, and shouted loudly: "Resist!" Resist! Kill! ”

The rest of the family members roared and fought fiercely with the captain of the family ding, and they did not retreat until they retreated, and were soon overwhelmed by the iron hooves of Jiannu.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, a Paishku cursed viciously, and then saw that there were a few Ming family members guarding a courtyard not far away, so he ordered to shoot those family members with arrows. Suddenly the arrows flew like locusts, and the five family members guarding the gate of the courtyard were shot to the ground like scarecrows.

Xu Mingwei and the others had been paying attention to the movement outside the courtyard, and after hearing the family outside the door screaming and falling to the ground, Xu Mingwei knew that his life was dead.

Xu Mingwei took one last look at his beloved daughter, and said resolutely: "Wanxin, you have to remember that you are the young lady of the General Military Mansion!" It's the wife of a Ming guerrilla general! ”

After speaking, Xu Mingwei beckoned the last five family members to open the courtyard door and rush out with knives.

"The old man is the former governor of the Ming Dynasty, and he killed Hu Weiguo today!" Xu Mingwei and the five family members roared and rushed towards dozens of horsemen and slaves.

Na Pao Shiku smiled coldly, and with a wave of his hand, it was a Jiannu who rode up to meet him, and after a burst of sword light and sword shadow, Xu Mingwei and the five family members fell in a pool of blood.

Pashku was about to take his subordinates into the courtyard to see if there were any others, but he saw that smoke was rising from the courtyard, and almost in an instant the fire was raging, and the heat wave was approaching, and the whole courtyard was no longer approachable.

At this time, Xu Wanxin and Qiao Ling slowly walked out of the courtyard door hand in hand, looking at the dozens of Tartars with calm faces and no fear.

When Jiannu saw such a beautiful woman, they all howled like wild beasts, and they were about to step forward. Seeing that the two Ming women first set fire to the courtyard, and then faced themselves without the slightest fear, Napashi Ku hesitated a little in his heart, and waved his hand to stop the restlessness of his subordinates.

Pashiku was about to ask about the details of these two Ming women, only to see one of them speak: "I am the wife of the Ming warriors and the daughter of the Ming literati. ”

After speaking, Xu Wanxin and Qiaoling walked into the burning courtyard hand in hand and blended into the sea of fire.

"The Chinese heritage has been inherited for thousands of years, and it has survived disasters but can survive endlessly, even if it is difficult for a while, how can it be shaken by the Yidi Tartars! Sooner or later, one day, my Ming Tiger Ben and Huaxia's sons will wipe out all the Tartars and build Huaxia Tianwei! ”

Na Pao Shiku and his subordinates stared blankly at the two Ming women who threw themselves into the sea of fire, and the words like a verdict came from their ears, and their hearts trembled: "If the Ming people are like this, does Dajin really have a chance?" ”
