Chapter 221: The Hateful Nomad

Zhang Lu estimated that the Buyeo people were all soldiers, which was just an exaggeration, and he never thought that the Buyeo people could also organize a female cavalry. When the female cavalry appeared in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.

"Da Da Da ......"

The horse's hooves shook the ground violently, which also brought Zhang Lu to his senses, and he personally supervised the battle among the gunners.

The speed of the Buyeo female cavalry was not inferior to that of the men, and the Ming gunners had not yet been freed from the strangeness, and they entered the range of flintlock pistols.

"Shoot!" Zhang Lu let out a loud shout, sobering up the gunmen who were in reverie.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The flintlock pistol began to shoot, but this shot, like an old cow wetting a bed, was tight and loose, and it was not a salvo at all.

Zhang Lu was furious: "They are cavalry, they are our enemies, they are not women, this is the battlefield." ”

But the gunners couldn't adjust for a while, and the gunfire was sometimes dense, sometimes sparse, and the salvo just couldn't be fired.

However, the bullets were still fired, and as long as the flintlock pistol was not extinguished, it was difficult for the female cavalry to cross the line of death.

A bullet is no different from a woman being shot at a man.

The only difference is the long hair on the back of their heads.

These Buyeo women were just in a hurry, and their hair didn't have time to tie up, and when they fell from their horses, their long hair was scattered behind them due to the resistance of the wind.

Under the rays of the setting sun, through their long hair, their faces were as peaceful as death.

The gunners were in no mood or time to enjoy the horrific spectacle, and there was only one thing they could do until the enemy was finished, and that was to shoot.

Less than two thousand female cavalry, less than half a pillar of incense.

The battlefield returned to calm, and the wounded female cavalry, like the male cavalry, were all mended by the Ming army and returned to immortality as soon as possible.

The Buyeo cavalry, who was fighting fiercely with Mangui, still had three or four thousand men, and when they saw that the last warrior of the tribe, the female cavalry, had all fallen, they left Mangui.

Like wolves, red-eyed and panting, they pounced on the Royal Third Division like madness.

Man Gui did not pursue, these Buyeo cavalry, now did not attack him, according to the verbal agreement he reached with Wang Mujiu, he pounced on the Buyeo troops behind.

Ge Si'er led a group of cavalry and made a light detour to the east, intercepting the last escape route for the Buyeo tribe.

As soon as Ge Si'er arrived at the designated position, Man Gui came from the west to kill him, whether he was old, weak, sick or disabled, whether he was a man or a woman, as long as it was a Buyeo people, he would kill them all.

On the embankment of the south bank of the Daling River, cries and killings echoed in unison, and blood mixed with the river water.

The Buyeo people cast their eyes on their last hope, but the last cavalry of the Buyeo people was also falling less than two thousand steps away from the Daling River.

Wang Mujiu asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and he took a few pro-soldiers and ran to Man Gui's side, "Manjun Seat, they are just herdsmen, can you let them live?" ”

"Wang Junzuo, we have already discussed, the Buyeo cavalry belongs to you, and the Buyeo tribe belongs to me, don't you want to regret it?" Man Gui slashed the Fuyu child in front of him with a knife, and looked at Wang Mujiu indifferently.

"You ......" Wang Mujiu was speechless, he didn't expect that Man Gui would leave such a hand at that time.

"If Wang Junzuo repents, it's not impossible, the main thing is that you save the Buyeo cavalry, they belong to me, then these Buyeo tribes will belong to you, I don't bother to do this massacre, they won't even resist, it's not interesting at all." Man Gui said in his mouth, and the saber in his hand did not stop at all.

"You ......" Wang Mujiu almost vomited blood, this Man Gui is like a shark in the sea, once it is stained with the smell of blood, anything can be put behind his head, "Man Junzao, if you kill innocents indiscriminately, beware of me accusing you to Your Majesty." ”

"Okay," Man Gui kicked an old man in the chest, kicked him over, fell upside down from the air, and lay on the ground in a large shape, "For the sake of Wang Junzuo, I'll give way." ”

Wang Mujiu thought that Man Gui would let go of these Fuyu people, even if he gave them some punishments, as long as he saved his life, "Manchu ...... throne"

"Stop!" Man Gui stopped the soldiers who were committing violence, "Drive them down the Daling River, and if anyone can come ashore in an hour, I will spare him." ”

"You ......" Wang Mujiu was so angry that he wanted to hit the wall, but the grassland was still bare, and there was not even a big tree, "What's the difference between you and killing them with a knife?" ”

"Wang Junza, don't you see killing and blood? I'll follow your advice, but that's my bottom line. Man Gui waved his hand, not caring about Wang Mujiu's feelings at all.

The soldiers raised their swords, and instead of slashing at the Buyeo people, they drove them across the river embankment step by step like ducks, and if they did not cooperate, they were directly slashed by the sabers.

The cry shook the sky, especially women and children, but the banks of the Daling River, just like its past, only talked about strength, not kindness.

Wang Mujiu couldn't stand it anymore, he turned his horse's head and returned to the first royal army.

When Zhu Youzhen and Hong Chengchou's Fourth Army felt the Daling River, the battlefield had been cleaned up, all the evidence of the crime had been eliminated, and the corpses in the Daling River had long since disappeared, either washed away by the water or into the belly of the fish.

In less than a month, Zhu Youzhen's Left Route Army had completely annihilated the Duoyan Third Division, which threatened the Great Wall of Xifengkou from time to time, except for the 13,000 strong prisoners of war and 5,000 young women captured, the grassland was deserted.

Zhu Youzhen personally presided over the military meeting and summed up the gains and losses in the first phase of the war.

Towards the end of the meeting, Wang Mujiu stood up: "Your Majesty, the three departments of Duoyan are not all armies, there will be this situation in the future, what should we do if we encounter the enemy's non-combatants?" ”

This is really a problem, all the strong men of the nomads are warriors, and very few surrender, the Ming army fought fiercely with them, the best way is to eliminate them, the problem is their families.

Kill them directly with a knife, it's a bit cruel, they are not soldiers after all, so what if they don't kill? Captive? Or is it put?

If they are captured, after a long time, the number will not be small, treat these people, what to do in the future, Zhu Youzhen has not thought about it yet, but at least now to feed them, the grain of the Ming army was transported to Liaodong, it was already a lot of hard work, and now they have to support the old, weak, sick and disabled of these nomadic tribes, and it feels wronged to think about it.

So what if you put it?

Zhu Youzhen's goal is not only to weaken Jiannu, but also to establish the rule of the Han people step by step on the grassland, to truly establish the rule of the Han people, it is necessary to recover their hearts, the remnants of these nomads, their heads of households, their men were killed by the Ming army, can they still be expected to be grateful to the Ming Dynasty? Can they still be expected to sincerely surrender to the Ming Dynasty?

"Your Majesty ......" Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was hesitating, Man Gui was tentative.

"What good ideas does Man Gui have?"

"Your Majesty, these old and weak, leaving behind is not only a waste of food, but also, after a long time, may also cause incidents, it is better to ......"

"Why don't you do that?" Zhu Youzhen asked knowingly.

"Your Majesty, it's better to kill it cleanly."

"Killed?" According to Zhu Youzhen's inner thoughts, he also thinks that if he kills, he will be a hundred, and the Ming army will not have a great influence on the grassland now, and killing it can just establish his authority, but human life is not livestock after all, and he doesn't want to leave the infamy of a tyrant, "What about you?" What do you guys think? ”

"Your Majesty, according to the general, the idea of the Manjun Throne is indeed the best choice, we can't let them go, if we want to feed them, we need a lot of food, and ...... Moreover, it is not very useful. Hong Chengchou's thoughts on Man Gui were welcomed with both hands.

"But they're human ......"

"Your Majesty, Jiannu is in Liaodong, didn't he kill millions of Han people? Leave these alien races, once they become strong, sooner or later they will be the scourge of my Ming Dynasty. "Hong Chengchou was originally from Liaodong, and he has been in the army in Liaodong for many years, so he understands the ferocity of nomads very thoroughly.

"However, Duoyan Sanbu, after all, they are not Jiannu, they are all Mongolians."

"Your Majesty, the Mongols also invaded the south, and when they attacked the Great Song Dynasty, did they kill fewer Han people?" Li Li stood up and saluted everyone with his fists, hoping to get everyone's support, "Now the Mongols are divided, they are in decline, once they have a head like Genghis Khan, and unify the Mongolian tribes, Mongolia will become the great enemy of the Han people, I have been a country for two or three hundred years, and the Mongolian country has never been destroyed." ”

Zhu Youzhen was silent, Li Li was right, the nomads in the north are aggressive, as long as they are not destroyed, sooner or later they will be a big problem for the Han people.

According to Zhu Youzhen's historical memory, since the establishment of the great unification of the Han nation, the threat of the northern nomads has never been lifted, the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan, Jurchen and Mongolia in the Song and Song dynasties, and in the Ming Dynasty, not only the Mongols died but did not stiffen, but also a Jiannu appeared.

In the history of the world, the Han nation has long been in the leading position in the world in terms of economy, culture, and science and technology.

The key is the nomadic peoples of the north.

It is they who have restrained too much national strength of the Han people, and it is they who have involved too much energy of the Han people.

Regarding the nomads in the north, Zhu Youzhen also thought about why they always invaded the Han people?

Zhu Youzhen's answer, first, in a cold place, it is easy for ethnic groups to develop a martial character, and between people, for a little thing, they can draw their swords against each other, not to mention between countries that do not have any binding force; The second is the harsh living environment in the north, there is no agriculture, and the land in the north cannot support a large number of people, so they rob the Han people of their property, and if they can't grab enough food, many of them will starve to death.

Can the nomads themselves change these two reasons?

Those who know the reason also know the result: absolutely not.

Unless the nomads are willing to starve to death themselves!

Zhu Youzhen gradually frowned, this nomad, it is really hateful, you have to live in peace, they just invade the south from time to time, when you really have to be a hundred, you have to bear a moral responsibility.

"陛xià......"

"Huh?" Zhu Youzhen woke up from his contemplation, "In the past, let him pass!" Don't kill innocents indiscriminately in the future, they are human too! ”

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly ended the meeting, this problem is really difficult for him to solve.

The next day, the left army was strong at the Ling River, but Li Junbu, the first division of the royal army, was holding all the prisoners of war and went east along the Daling River, heading straight to Guangning City.

Li Jun not only had to send prisoners of war to Quang Ninh, but also to receive supplies of food, ammunition and personnel from Quang Ninh.

The Left Route Army temporarily garrisoned the north bank of the Daling River, waiting for Li Jun's return.

When Li Jun arrived in Guangning, the First Group Army, which was originally stationed in Guangning, Jinzhou and Ningyuan, had already left its garrison, and the current three cities of Liaodong were all defended by Sun Chengzong's Liaodong Army.
