After more than a month of arduous trekking, Zhang Dou finally led the remaining 517 people through the Qianshan Mountains to the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.

When they walked out of the mountain, everyone couldn't help but cry with joy. They couldn't believe that this was true, Zhang Dou actually led them through the continuous mountains and into the Liaodong Peninsula.

At this moment, they all cheered, and after everyone cheered, Zhang Dou came to everyone.

"Brothers! We have accomplished feats that no one has done before. We have defeated the pursuers of Jiannu, we have defeated the vast mountains, we are fearless, we will be invincible in the world!! Zhang Dou shouted loudly.

His enthusiasm drives everyone, and in this moment they feel fearless, they feel that they can do anything. As long as they are led by Zhang Dou, they can overcome any difficulties and will definitely win in the end.

The soldiers also cheered, "We can do anything!" ”

"We have nothing to fear!"

"We will be invincible!"

After everyone cheered, Zhang Dou said again: "Brothers! Now that we have escaped the pursuit of Jiannu, the next step is to find a foothold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With a foothold, we can recruit soldiers, strengthen ourselves, and then destroy Jiannu! ”

"That's right! Destroy the Jiannu! ”

"General! We all listen to you, you just say what to do! ”

Zhang Dou pressed down with both hands, stopping everyone's voices, and continued.

"Brothers! I have already chosen a place to stay, which is Changsheng Island near Fuzhou! ”

"What is Eternal Island? Is it safe there? ”

"It's an island, how many people can it hold?"

After listening to Zhang Dou's words, everyone began to discuss.

Qin Shi, who was standing beside Zhang Dou, said, "Big brother! Is that island okay? ”

"Stones! Changsheng Island is not small! It is 60 miles long and 20 miles wide, and it can feed tens of thousands of people. Zhang Dou said with a smile.

Qin Shi opened his mouth wide in surprise, 60 miles long and 20 miles wide are about to catch up with the size of a county, can such a big place still be called an island?

The other soldiers were also surprised when they heard Zhang Dou's explanation. Then they became worried, after all, they only had a little more than 500 people. In case the old slave knew that the thief who killed his son and grandson was hiding on an island, then he would not kill Changsheng Island desperately to take revenge!

"Big brother! If we go to the island, what if the old slave knows about bringing troops to kill? The little brother is not afraid, and the big deal is to fight with Jiannu. But we can no longer kill all the slaves and make contributions. Qin Shi said worriedly.

"Stones! This is also what worries me the most, we can't make a big show on the island this time. I can't wear the military uniform of the Ming Dynasty anymore, so I should be able to hide from the old slave for some time. As long as we can drag it out this year, we will train thousands of elite soldiers in our hands, and we will not be afraid that Jiannu will attack again! Zhang Dou said.

"Hmmm! Okay, the younger brother listens to the eldest brother! Qin Shi nodded yes.

"It's just that it's a bit wronged by everyone, the brothers are born and died for the sake of Daming, and they can't get a name, I am ashamed of everyone!" Zhang Dou said.

"General! The lives of the little ones have long been lost by the Hunhe River, and the court has long regarded us as dead. We've all died once, and there's nothing else we can't see. As long as you can lead us to kill Jiannu and avenge our dead brothers, we don't care about the name or anything! Ma Bao said in the crowd.

After more than a month of recuperation, most of his arm has healed, and he is now able to move freely.

The other soldiers also compounded: "Yes! General, we are all people who have died once, what else is there to be afraid of! ”

"Lao Tzu has killed more than 10 Jiannu, and even if he is dead now, it is enough. I'm afraid of him! Ma Hu also shouted in the crowd.

In this way, they carefully followed the outer circle of Fuzhou and came to Yangguanbao, which was the residence of the Jurchens. Defending this place was the authentic Mubu of the female real red flag, who was hit in the thigh by the Ming army's firearms in the battle of the Hunhe River.

Fortunately, as luck had it, buckshot just made a hole in his thigh. He didn't do much damage, and he escaped the fierce battle behind him, and was lucky to survive in the end.

The battle of Hunhe had almost wiped out one-third of the Jurchens' troops, and they had already broken their bones. The exhausted Jurchens were also unable to launch an attack on the Ming army's Ningjin defensive line, so they began to reward the meritorious men of the battle of the Hunhe River with land, dingkou, and slaves.

Because Mubu was wounded in battle, he was promoted to Jialazhangjing and stationed at Yangguan Fort. His name is Shangjia Lazhangjing, but his armor soldiers don't even have two Niu Lu.

In order to quickly recover his strength, he assigned all his armor soldiers to the surrounding tunbao. Basically, a few armor soldiers led their families to take charge of a village, and the original Han people in the village were forcibly reduced to slaves by them.

Every time he led his soldiers to a Tunpu village, he would first start killing. Kill the old and weak in the village, it seems that those old and weak can only consume food, and cannot bring them any benefits, so they must be killed.

After many days of killing, the Han people were all frightened by the brutal Jurchens. Even if they insult their wives and daughters in front of them, they will not resist.

They had to do heavy work every day in exchange for a little food from Allah.

In the past month alone, many people have been starved to death and frozen to death.

Xu Lianshan was a farmer in Xujiatun, Yangguanbao, who saw his parents split in half by the Jurchens. watched her pregnant sister-in-law be ruined by the Jurchens, and kicked her stomach to have a miscarriage.

The eldest brother who went to stop it was beheaded by the Jurchens, and he also buried his head in the crotch of his pants and lived cowardly.

Just yesterday, a man from the same village fell asleep and never woke up. The Jurchens didn't treat them as human beings at all, and only gave them a bowl of rice porridge like water every day, a small cake that was hard enough to lose their teeth.

If this continues, most of them will starve to death. Xu Lianshan couldn't wait, he knew that if he didn't do something, he would definitely not survive next month.

That night he quietly slipped out of the house where they were being held and began his journey on the run. The Jurchens did not take very strict care of the Han people, and in their opinion, the Han people, who were already starved and had no strength, could not run far even if they ran.

As long as they get on their horses after dawn, they will soon be able to capture the fugitive slaves. At that time, the execution of fugitive slaves in public will definitely frighten the courage of the Han people.

So Xu Lianshan easily escaped from Xujiatun, hungry in his stomach, he felt that his legs were as heavy as lead every step he ran.

As the sun rose, his heart cooled. He didn't even manage to run 5 miles this night, and the Jurchens would soon be able to catch up with him.

He could imagine what kind of punishment he would face once he was captured by the Jurchens, Xu Lianshan moved his legs hard and ran forward as hard as he could.

Gradually, his breathing began to heavily, and sweat continued to drip down his chin. He felt as if a fire was burning in his chest, and every step he took was an ordeal for him.

A voice kept echoing in his head, "Give up! You can't escape! If you run any further, you will still be caught, and you will be able to get rid of it when the time comes! ”

Just as he was in a trance, a series of horses' hooves suddenly appeared from behind him. Xu Lianshan suddenly became energetic, he quickly quickened his pace and ran forward desperately. He knew that his last moment had come, and the moment the Jurchens caught up with him was the moment when he died.

As the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, Xu Lianshan finally despaired. He stopped, sat on the ground, gasping for air.

Looking at the three warhorses that were getting closer and closer, a smile appeared on his face. Maybe death is the best relief, at this moment he seems to see it, and no longer bothered about whether he can die.

He began to look up at the sun in the sky, and this was probably the last sunrise he saw!

The Jurchens who chased after him didn't seem to have the intention of killing him immediately, and they slowed down their horses as they approached Xu Lianshan. A man escaped from his arms with a rope and quickly pulled a flower in his hand.

A lock appeared in his hand, and the Jurchen man proudly showed off the lock in his hand to the other two companions, and he quickly approached Xu Lianshan and quickly threw out the lock.

The lock crossed an arc in the air and landed accurately on Xu Lianshan's head.

Then Xu Lianshan felt his neck tighten, and his whole body was dragged to the ground. He struggled to reach into the lock, using all his strength to pull out.

This allowed him to breathe more easily, and his body kept rubbing against the ground, and the fire burned painfully. But he couldn't care about anything else, and he knew he wouldn't last long.

Maybe the next moment, he will be strangled to death. Then drag it back to Xujiatun like a dead dog for everyone to visit.
