Section 196 Looting
Wang Fang's six charges of Daming were passed on in the hands of several fellow intellectuals and servants, Ortai and Yunrong nodded again and again, Wang Ziyong touched his head and said that their rebellion was really for heaven, Li Huai was pale, and Li Fugui still had a cold sweat on his head.
"Wang Fang is just a craftsman who has read books for a few days, how can he know so many things about the previous dynasty, this is clearly a rumor used by the White Lotus Cult to incite the people." Li Huai said weakly.
"The White Lotus Sect was born out of the Ming Sect, and it has developed to millions of sect members today, and it is unknown that it has penetrated into the imperial court, and the ugly things of the Ming Kingdom cannot hide from them," Li Fugui wiped his sweat, raised his head with blank eyes and sighed, "The Zhu family is deeply sinful, and it will disgrace future generations!" I am afraid that this sin will never be atoned for. β
"Nian Feng, you are not from the Zhu family, what are you worried about for their Zhu family, Buddhism has a wheel of retribution, the past life did evil and the future life will be retributed, now it is time to come true, Wang Fang did a good job, let everyone see the true face of the Qingming Kingdom." Ortai said and patted Li Fugui casually, and Li Fugui suddenly shuddered.
"What Brother Meng Qing said makes sense, our strategy of respecting the Ming Dynasty cannot be changed, the Ming Dynasty has its own punishment from heaven for doing evil, we just have to do our own thing, order the Propaganda Department to stop inciting anti-Ming, that Wang Fang should also take care of it, I want to ask Brother Hezhou to take care of the affairs of the Propaganda Department, and talk to Wang Fang by the way," Li Yu quickly finished reading Du Hongtai's letter, held the letter and said to everyone, "Copy a few more copies of this letter and Wang Fang's six major sins of the Ming Dynasty and send them to all guards and camps, and tell everyone that we will never make a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, But we can't touch or do any of the bad things that Daming has done! β
Everyone nodded in agreement, only Yun Rong kept complaining, Liu Xingzuo and Batu were released, and the capable Buyantu also went to Fengzhou Wei, the government affairs of the Great Commander's Mansion overwhelmed him, and the affairs of the Mission Department fell on him again, he was a little unbearable, Wang Zi comforted Yun Rong with a red face, he was almost familiar with the government affairs of Fengzhou, and he could take over the work of managing agriculture and animal husbandry, Yun Rong agreed.
This matter ended here, everyone had not dispersed, Zhao Ji came with a smile, and handed an official document to Li Yu casually: "Looking for a fight, Dongsheng guards guard Zabutu reported that Omulun's people went out of Daqingshan and robbed several of our villages, Batu and Zabutu asked for troops to counterattack,"
Boshuo Ketu Khan's eldest son Omulun Taiji after the battle of Kuku Hetun, hid in Daqingshan and did not dare to come out, the mountains were too bitter, he also wanted to surrender to Chahar Khan, but Chahar Khan was dead-eyed, resolutely did not accept surrender, and planned to exterminate him, just Kuku and Tun's Xi Ling Setaiji was defeated by Fengzhou, and did not dare to be a neighbor of Fengzhou anymore, Chahar Khan sent him to Daqingshan. Xi Lingse was enough to nest his bag, and when he entered Daqingshan, he was beaten by Omulun, and he was killed, and his troops were also annexed by the other party, Omulun won the battle, and continued to suffer in the mountains, Chahar Khan himself did not dare to enter the mountain, and he was helpless, and the two sides were in such a stalemate.
Fengzhou and Daqingshan are separated by Chahar people, and there is no connection, but the Chahar people are scarce, and they are extremely poor, unable to control the vast area south of Daqingshan, and gradually retreat to Kuku and Tun, so that a large area of no-man's land has been formed between Fengzhou and Daqingshan, but Omulun is timid and never dares to go out of the mountain, and the two sides are safe. Perhaps it was because this winter was too cold, Omulun finally couldn't endure it, and he had the courage to send his troops out of the mountains to rob, and several hundred households north of Dongshengwei were suddenly attacked, and there were losses in personnel and property.
Dong Shengwei commanded Batu to be furious when he heard the news, this Omulun is still his eldest brother, but the two have their own mothers, and they have not been together since childhood, so they can't talk about feelings at all, Batu still remembers the old things when Omulun did not follow the will of his father Khan to go to the Ebuhar River to help the war, and it would be good if he didn't go to him for trouble, and now he dared to bully himself, and immediately asked the Great Commander's Office to send troops to fight against Omulun.
"Omulon is crazy! Does he have swords, spears, and armor? I'm afraid I won't be able to find a few iron-headed arrows," Ortai was a little surprised, and then thought of Omulun's miserable appearance of starvation and cold in the mountains, and said with a sneer, "The dying man is not worried, if he wants to find death, he will fulfill him, let Dongshengwei send troops." β
Li Huai also nodded and said: "We have a large population now, the more land and pasture, the better, it is best to fight all the way to the bottom of Daqing Mountain, let Omulun go back to the mountains, we want the territory that the Chahar people don't want." β
"It's not difficult to deal with Omulun, Dong Shengwei's own troops are enough, I'm worried that the war will be bigger, and our life will not be easy, and we won't be able to get the food and salary for the war," Li Yu pondered for a while, and gently tapped the bookcase and said, "In this way, agree that Dong Shengwei will fight to the Kundulun River, but he must not move forward." β
"Send Jeddah to bring a sentry flying tiger cavalry to help in the battle, and strive for a quick victory." Zhao Ji added.
Dongshengwei, there is a series of undulating hills not far to the south of the confluence of the Yellow River and the Heihe River, the hills are low and gentle, close to the hills to the east is a large flat depression, here was originally a grassland in the west post, and then gradually abandoned due to the war, before the winter, suddenly a group of people came here with their families, and built wooden houses and tents under the hills, and erected wooden fences around them, here became a village, and suddenly became lively, this land that no one cared about also had a name - yellow mud depression.
There was a solemnity in front of Huangniwa Village, young men with knives and spears stood in a queue, more old people and women stood quietly on both sides, and ignorant children occasionally screamed a few times, but they were immediately coaxed. The captain of the 24,000 households, Bagen, kept pacing back and forth in front of the queue, he had a fire in his heart, the robbers of Daqingshan came over, the squadron leader of the 500th household actually ordered to give up resistance and retreat, five of the six general banners fled in a swarm, more than 30 people died in vain, and more than 100 cattle and two carts of grain were robbed, and the 26,000 households nearby resolutely resisted when they were attacked, although dozens of people also died, but the robbers were repelled, and the property loss was much smaller. The fifth squadron made him lose face.
"Sheeptail, you stand up for me!" Bagen shouted to the captain of the fifth squadron, pointing at this middle-aged man with a naΓ―ve face and reprimanding loudly: "You are a veteran, a gang of robbers with sticks scared you away, where did the courage of the Chahar people in Kuku and Tun go back then?" You say it yourself, how do you calculate this account? β
The sheep's tail lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word, his command was indeed wrong, the people of Daqingshan rushed up in the dark, and ordered a retreat in a panic, and then said that he would keep the people first, but he forgot that there were not only Mongolians grazing in the hundred households, but most of them were immigrants in the customs who had no livestock available, and the team would be beaten if they walked slowly, and he did fight hard, taking the men to block the robbers in the back, covering the transfer of the villagers, and he was also hit by two arrows, fortunately, the other party did not have an iron-headed arrow, and he was wearing armor, so there was no big problem, But what is the use, there are dead people, lost livestock, food, and the five villages of the general banner, and this sin can only be borne by him.
"I admit punishment, and the squadron leader will be replaced by someone else." The sheep's tail finally spoke, he let go of the sheep for half his life, he didn't know a single big word, it was no problem to fight hard, it would be difficult for him to be an official, anyway, his brain was not enough, so don't occupy a position to get in the way.
Bagan ignored the sheep's tail, turned around and went to find the inquisitor behind him - the robbers robbed a few villages, and also lost people and animals, and the Dongsheng Weili Institute naturally had to be held accountable for such a big thing, and the inquisitor who came this time was the old man Du Han of Chahar and another old man from northern Shaanxi, the two inquisitors discussed for a while, and thought that the loss was mainly due to the sheep's tail's stupid brain, which was really not good and blamed on him, he was not the material to be an official at all, and he did not need to be transferred to the institute, and he was punished on the spot.
"As the leader of the squadron of the Hundred Households, the sheep tail was in a hurry, and the military order was indiscriminately ordered to cause the loss of people and animals, although it was an unintentional move, but the crime was unforgivable, and he was sentenced to thirty lashes by the Reason," Du Han walked to the crowd to announce the result of the punishment, and then raised his head to the sky and shouted, "Heaven will spare you a whip, the earth will spare you a whip, the commander will spare you a whip, and immediately execute twenty-seven lashes on the spot." β
The sheep's tail fell to the ground silently, Du Han waved his hand, and the two young men came up and peeled off the sheep's tail's pants, picked up the leather whip and whipped it at his buttocks, Du Han and the old man in northern Shaanxi were still counting the whips loudly on the side, and the sheep's tail was also a man, gritting his teeth and not saying a word.
Bagen looked at the beaten sheep's tail, shook his head gently, walked to the front of the team again, and said to everyone: "The squadron leader of the sheep's tail can't be done, you have to choose a new one from the hundred households, this time you must choose someone who is willing to shed blood for everyone, and has a good brain." β
"Just choose the sunspot, this future life is good, if there is no him this time, more people will die in our hundred households." Several old people recommended candidates, and then other men, women, and children from the 100 households also shouted, "Let's choose Kuroko, we can trust him!" β
Hao Heizi, who was standing in the young and strong team, blushed, after he and his sister Chuncao came out of the customs, they were pulled by Ba Gensheng and stuffed into the twenty-four thousand households, and were incorporated into the second general banner of the five hundredth households, and then stationed in the yellow mud valley and built this village. The young man was strong and strong, he had practiced stone locks and learned knives and sticks in his hometown, and he had killed officers and soldiers and seen blood when he was in the righteous army, and the villagers chose him to be the captain of the general flag. When the Daqingshan robbers called, he also received the retreat order of the squadron leader sheeptail, but Hao Heizi had a more heart, he and a group of new squad leaders went to the guard post to participate in rotation training, and the garrison adults said when they taught them that the infantry can never outrun the cavalry on the flat grassland, and the best way for the infantry to deal with the cavalry is to take advantage of all favorable conditions, such as the terrain and the camp to wait for rescue. figured out the reason, Hao Heizi did not obey the order to retreat, but and Uncle Zongqi made up their minds to defend the village, the whole village Ding Zhuang and the old and weak women and children were mobilized, everyone worked together to defend the village's wooden fence resistance, not only repelled the robbers, but the loss was very small - the gang in Daqingshan was too shabby, the iron weapons in their hands were pitiful, and the arrows shot were also made of sharpened animal bones and stones, the robbers saw that this bone was difficult to gnaw, and after a long fight, they simply ran to another place to rob it. Fortunately, Hao Heizi guarded the yellow mud puddle, so that the people scattered by the 500th household had a place to flee for their lives, and Bagen had a place to stay when he led the other five squadrons to rescue - the other villages of the 500th household were destroyed by the robbers, and the robbers would take everything, and they would not let go of a rag.
"Kuroko, everyone can trust you, this squadron leader is up to you," Bagen walked over and patted Hao Heizi on the shoulder, casually pulled out the axe on his waist and handed it to him, "The spear in your hand is not good for melee, or this kind of axe is the most effective, immediately gather your squadron to prepare for battle, we have suffered a loss this time, and we will definitely fight back." β
Hao Heizi's face twisted and ignored him, Bagen smiled a little embarrassedly, and put the axe back into his waist, the two of them have been making trouble - Bagen stared at Chuncao like a fly, and came to find Chuncao every once in a while, and after a long time, Chuncao seemed to be tempted, and the two had a sneaky tryst. Hao Heizi was scared, his father and mother died on the way to escape the famine, and his sister was a relative by his side, it would be bad if something happened, so he simply stared at his sister all day long, and the brother and sister quarreled a lot about this. Hao Heizi also asked the officials of the health center to report the situation and asked them to take care of Bagen, but they taught him a lesson, and there was no real accident, what do you tell us to do? This is not Guannei, the rules of the Han people don't work, who will be full of food and support to take care of this idle business? The official of the guard also praised Bagen for being honest and capable, having fought with the commander and making military achievements, and he will have a future in the future, and the young man's family has no burden, and he still has some money in his hand, where do you find a brother-in-law with such good conditions? Don't worry about it.
Hao Heizi was very depressed, he also understood that Bagen was a good person, most of the dough cakes and yam eggs that people quietly stuffed into Chuncao actually went into his stomach, and he was willing to share his rations with others to eat this year, and he must be kind-hearted, but Hao Heizi has always been thinking about one day being able to go back to his hometown Suide, if his sister marries here, and she is married to a Yiren outside the Guan, she can't go back, does she still have the face to go home? No, I must bring my sister back to my hometown. Hao Heizi and Bagen competed, a few days ago, thousands of households organized a grain training, Bagen personally ran to the yellow mud to supervise, and wanted to teach Chuncao archery, which made Hao Heizi angry, pulling Bagen to find a place where no one was to fight alone, the result of the fight was naturally Hao Heizi lost, although Bagen let him, he still easily fell to the ground, and kicked him on the ass a few times. Hao Heizi suffered a loss, and when he returned home, Chuncao blamed him for having nothing to do, and the girl was not staying, and his sister's elbow was twisted outward.
Hao Heizi was angry, and hung Bagen aside to do his own thing - almost all the people in the hundred households ran to the yellow mud pool, Hao Heizi called the men together, said a few words of nonsense to encourage each other, and checked everyone's equipment, even if he took office, he looked back after these things, Bagen had long disappeared, Hao Heizi's heart was tight, he knew where Bagen went, and quickly ran home.
Back to the little shack he had built, Bargan was there, smiling and squatting on the ground watching Chuncao munch on a cornmeal with a wooden bowl in his hand. Hao Heizi shouted and rushed over, so frightened that Bagen almost spilled the water in the bowl, and hurriedly took out another dough cake from his arms, Hao Heizi wanted to push the cake away, but his stomach screamed angrily, and his hand involuntarily stretched out.
"Bagen, you fight hard, but I'm not afraid of you, my home just doesn't allow you to enter!" Hao Heizi swallowed the cake in a few bites, snatched the wooden bowl from Bagan's hand and drank a few sips of water, and then shouted at Bagan angrily.
"I didn't enter your house, I was standing at the door, and besides, this is also Chuncao's home, so you alone don't count." Bagan replied with a hippie smile.
Hao Heizi was a little speechless, and said forcefully: "It's not okay to stand at the door of my house, I'm Chuncao's brother, but you are not allowed to find my sister." β
"Heizi, I know what you think, you think I'm a Yiren, what if Lao Tzu is a Yiren? To tell you the truth, as long as Chuncao is willing, I will marry her in this life, and you can't care if you are her brother! Bagan got angry, turned and walked away.
"Brother, you have eaten up all the dry food that other people have at night, why are you still like this, Brother Bagan is a good person, I just like him." Chuncao also got angry and closed the door when she entered the shack.
"What did I do wrong? It's not for your good, we still have to go back to our hometown in the future, can Bagan go back with us? Hao Heizi stood at the door and muttered.
Hao Heizi was squatting at the door and was angry, so he felt that someone slapped him, and turned his head to see that it was the two Yansui fellow villagers in his general banner - Datou and Tiezi, who were about the same age as him, and the three of them usually had the best relationship, these two people must have seen him scolded just now, and looked at him with a gloating face.
"Kuroko, this is what a mistake you are, what a good person the captain is, there are a lot of girls who have taken a fancy to him in our hundreds of households, and your Chuncao will not lose anything with him." Tiezi shook his head and said.
"What do you know, I want to go back to my hometown, this is Guanwai, not our home after all, why, you don't want to go back to Yansui's hometown?" Hao Heizi replied.
"Dream, we can't go back, haven't you heard that the customs are more chaotic than before, there are disasters and plagues everywhere, and the officials and soldiers will kill us as homeless people, and I won't dare to go back if we are killed." Tiezi said.
"I don't want to go back, my wife and my brother finally have a place to live, why go back to find sin, and besides, people treat us as their own, my shack collapsed by the snow, and took us home to live, even if it is my own brother, I figured it out, this is my home, I am from Fengzhou." The big head also said.
Hao Heizi stopped talking, people really have nothing to say to them, the homeless people, don't say anything about food, return the fields, and no one cares about you when you starve to death in the Guannai. At this time, a loud military horn sounded, and Hao Heizi stood up immediately after listening carefully.
"It's an emergency rally number, bring weapons to assemble."
