Chapter 256: What is the way forward?
The captain who led the team had a big head, and it would be easy to catch the Tatar soldiers, but what would it be like if he caught their families?!
The young man, who had been timid before, came to his senses, and he bowed his hand to the captain who led the team, "...... I don't know how the general will deal with us? β
The captain who led the team said slowly, "If you want to go with us, you can do that...... If you want to go back to your hometown, you can ......."
The young man burst into tears and said, "Where do I have my hometown...... Woo, the relatives have long been scattered, and they have all been captured as serfs! β
The serfs, who were numb and slightly panicked, immediately knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
Why are you so late......
The captain who led the team was sour when he saw this scene in front of him, and he didn't know how to persuade them.
After a while, the platoon commander of the Marine Corps was on fire and shouted:
"Why are you crying? You don't dare to resist, you are only willing to live in the world, why cry?!
Stand up for me!! β
The serfs stopped at once, and only dared to choke and stand up.
"Alright, alright! If it is a man, go back to Dengzhou City with us, and then kill us back to avenge yourself! β
The captain of the group looked at the families of the Tatar soldiers and said slowly: "They...... Take it with you, too, since you have enjoyed the captivity of the Tatar soldiers, it is natural to be punished. β
The young man's eyes turned red and he said, "General, why don't you kill them?" It's better to leave it to me and wait for disposal! β
The captain who led the team looked at his distorted face and said slowly, "The Imperial Army does not kill women, children, and the elderly...... They are guilty, but they are not guilty unto death......"
The young man was just about to say something, when the platoon commander of the Marine Corps became angry and said, "Shut up! Hurry up and collect the firewood, we're going to burn this place!" β
The young man was immediately honest and went with the others to collect firewood.
The captain looked at the former serfs doing their work deferentially, and wanted to laugh in his heart...... The blood in their bodies must have been gone for a long time, and if they lived normally, their descendants would probably be the same.
As they left together, a fire broke out behind them.
Puffs of black smoke writhed in the sky.
There's really nothing here, there are some corn and potatoes and sweet potatoes in the warehouse...... None of them took a fancy to them, and taking them away was a sign of space.
They escorted one hundred and three Tatar family members onto the No. 1 boat, along with five or six horses that the warriors had caught in the field...... When the gun was fired before, no one would have aimed at the warhorse.
The Han Chinese from the north were placed on another boat and were not allowed to be with the Tatar families.
When the captain of the group got into his boat, he glanced at the smoke that rushed into the sky.
His first mate stepped forward and saluted, saying, "The captain of the second ship has issued a call to say that he is still back in command of the water......
He looked at his captain with admiration...... Without firing a single shot, without a single wound, one of the Tatar bandits was wiped out in a barracks!
That's a great achievement!
The three ships sent a telegram to the capital ships remaining at the mouth of the river and sailed down the river.
The captain of the group seemed to be able to hear the cries of the Tatars in the cabin...... He sighed in his heart, thinking, everyone in the world cries the same.
The telegram sent back to them by the capital ships praised their courage, believing that they had played with the might of the Imperial Navy.
The captain who led the team kept a modest smile, but regretted it a little...... Why do you forget to bring a box camera?
If he left a picture, it would be enough for him to hang it for a lifetime.
Subsequently, they regrouped at the mouth of the Haihe River and set sail straight to the free trade zone at the mouth of the Yalu River to wait for new orders.
Although they killed less than twenty cavalrymen, they burned an inconspicuous barracks...... However, when the news reached the capital, the big leader Kublai Khan was speechless all at once.
This was his reaction to extreme anger.
He also had a map of the island in his head...... He also used to compare and draw on it, and his elders had great military achievements, except for the north and south of Yindi, Anzhou and Australia...... Really almost took over the whole world!
After looking at the map, he had always wanted to revive the glory of the Tatars, and once again establish a greater deed than his elders!
But...... But...... He only now realizes that his capital city is not as safe as he thought it would be.
Distant dreams are a thing of the future after all...... Now the danger is always there!
What if the pirates were more daring, more numerous, and deeper next time?!
He convened a council of noble elders, expelled the ministers of Hanchen and Semu, and did not even notify Pingzhang Ahma.
Heizhang Ahmad was completely reduced to a minister in charge of finance.
He told the whole story of the captivity.
A number of fighters were killed and wounded, some family members were snatched and a barracks burned...... None of this matters.
When they fought each other on the grassland, the extermination of the clan often happened, so the current loss was nothing.
A noble elder said, "...... Great Khan, pirates can come from the sea, from the river...... The place where we stayed was too close to the big sea and the big river! β
The big leader, Kublai Khan, was silent...... Want to get out of the metropolis?
That's absolutely impossible!
What Heizhang Ahmad said makes sense...... Anyone can leave the capital, but he can't, and if he leaves here, he won't be a great khan, and then he will really become the name of the "Liuqiu Times": the big leader of the bandit group.
Another noble elder said, "Are they trying to provoke us and lure us into sending troops to attack the East Shandong Road?" β
Many noble elders shook their heads, they would never attack Shandong East Road again!
That's where our hearts break...... We will never send our children there again.
Kublai Khan, the big leader, finally heard a wise voice: "...... Great Khan, let's quickly recall the elite horsemen stationed on the loop...... As long as we hold the capital, and then station the elite cavalry in the secret place...... The pirates can't win the ......"
Kublai Khan, the big boss, immediately agreed, and what he needed now was such a positive advice.
But let's not talk about his dreams...... How do we go forward?!
He was deeply lost in thought, this was a mess he hadn't expected.
The head of the LΓΌ military group, Jinghu Zhizhi, made LΓΌ Wenhuan also fall into deep contemplation later, and the changes in the military situation in the Hetao area were both good and bad for him.
Fortunately, the military movement there made Jia Pingzhang want to take back his local military power, and the action to weaken the power of the Lu family slowed down.
The bad thing is that there are still 10,000 elite horsemen stationed there...... He had to be distracted to calculate the gains and losses.
In the previous sand table deduction, they deduced that the old guys in the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty might suddenly invade the Shandong region when the Federal Empire attacked the capital, and they thought that they had regained another lost territory...... When his staff officers said this result, he did not consider it nonsense at all...... In the past few years, he knows too well the style of such civil officials.
Of course, Da Song will never do it now, and no one will mention it...... But...... And when the time comes for what they think is reasonable?!
Lu Wenchuan was in a very bad mood...... He had never had the idea of becoming a king by himself, at this moment, he really thought of it, it was really better to learn from that king, the entire Lu family left the Great Song Dynasty, found a wild island at random, and made his own decisions.
Of course, this is just a thought.
Life had to go on, so he called a capable butler and ordered him to select some more capable and loyal soldiers from the charcoal burning army and other Lu family troops, and let them take their families to Liuqiu Island.
Hehe, even if Jia Pingzhang completely deprives the Lu family of all military power, his Lu family still has 3,000 dead soldiers overseas.
