Sun Yuan was startled and turned his head suddenly. (.marshmallow)

But I saw that the person in front of me was the same Tang Wenxing that he was familiar with in Sizhou, thin, black, not tall or short, standing there, as if cast iron.

He was only wearing a white-washed jacket, with an ordinary Yanling knife pinned to his waist, his right hand tightly pinched the handle, and there were green tendons on the back of his hand, which were beating slightly.

Looking at the palm of his hand again, it has been cracked by the northwest wind, and it is as rough as cowhide.

"Haha, Brother Tang, you're finally here!" Sun Yuan walked forward with a laugh, stretched out his fist and slapped him in the chest: "It's not late, it's not late, it's good to come back." ”

"Brother Tang, it's funny. There is a town in Beijing that is also out of the Confident Guogong Mansion, also called Tang Wenxing, and he looks like you. Hey, it's just a little fatter. However, the fact that he was a high-ranking official at a young age is really enviable. Brother Tang, that person can't be you, right? ”

Sun Yuan looked at him with a smile, but his eyes were sharp.

"That's right, that person has the same name and surname as the soldier Tang Wenxing." Tang Wenxing replied loudly, "But it's not me." Tang Wenxing is just an ordinary fighter, as long as he can serve the country, even if he is a big soldier, what's the matter? ”

As he spoke, he jerked open the padded jacket on his body, revealing his chest full of scars, and said, "Although that man resembles me, he is as fat as a pig. What about being a high-ranking official at a young age? This time, when the slaves were built, only 6,000 were left when the 60,000 horses and horses in the Beijing camp were gathered. And he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and went out of the city for two months, without firing an arrow. Such an army, such a suppression, is the shame of my Ming soldiers. Tang Wenxing can understand that in this world, the only person who can fight with Dongyi on the battlefield is my Ningxiang Army. ”

"A man's husband, as long as he can serve the country, what if he can't be an official or not? What is personal fame and fortune for the whole country and nation? According to Tang Wenxing, the army of the Ming Dynasty here is rotten

。 It's like a sauce jar, even if you are an iron-clad man, if you fall into it, you have to wear off the ambition in your chest. In this way, what hope does my Ming Dynasty have, and how can I resist the violent Jiannu? I don't want the Ming Dynasty to be wiped out, and I don't want to be a slave of Dongyi. I am willing to be a pawn of the general, a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and never talk nonsense. ”

Sun Yuan solemnly folded his shirt: "Soldier Tang asked, I will allow you to return to the team." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Tang Wenxing's scarred face was already burning red like fire because of excitement: "Soldier Tang Wenxing has a request. ”

"Say!"

"Please, General, put me in the cavalry scout battalion. On the day when Tang Wenxing appeared in front of him, the heads of the Jiannu people hung from the necks of the horses, flying to the point of the invincible scout cavalry.

Zhuang is hungry for Hu Nu meat, laughs and talks about thirsty Hun blood, the husband should be like this!

Sun Yuan didn't expect Tang Wenxing to join the scout cavalry by name, and was stunned: "Soldier Tang Wenxing, can you ride a horse?" ”

"The descendants of the Duke of Xinguo, why can't they ride horses? At that time, I Tang Wenxing was an officer in the Nanjing Army, and during the period of recuperation, I sharpened my gun in battle, found a Tatar as a master, and practiced equestrian skills for two months. ”

Sun Yuan laughed: "You have a heart, okay, I agreed." Tomorrow you will report to the cavalry camp of the Bohai Institute. Originally, in his mind, a person like Tang Wenxing, who was born in a noble family, had a very high level of education, and knew the soldiers, was a talent that he would focus on cultivating in the future.

He even thought that the future Ningxiang Army would not be supported by Tang Wenxing and Shao Wei.

But he didn't want to, but Tang Wenxing asked to be a cavalryman. It's okay to do this, Sun Yuanzheng is worried that after the Zhu family's father and daughter leave Beijing, they will go there to find qualified horsemen. This is really, when drowsiness comes and encounters a pillow, how can people not be happy?

Speaking of this, he grabbed Tang Wenxing's hand and sighed: "Brother Tang, you are finally back, I thought I would never see you again in my life." ”

Tang Wenxing's eyes were hot, tears flowed, and his voice was choked: "General......"

Sun Yuan squeezed his hand fiercely: "A man's husband, what kind of childlike behavior."

。 Brother Tang, how is this year? ”

Tang Wenxing hurriedly turned his head to the side, quietly wiped his eyes, and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, it's the New Year, isn't it just to visit relatives and friends, eat and drink." Tang Wenxing didn't know anyone in the capital, so he worked hard at home. It's okay on weekdays, go shopping on the streets. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Wenxing suddenly remembered something: "General, don't you ask me and I forgot something?" ”

"What's the matter?"

Tang Wenxing: "Today is the day of the execution of the thief Gao Yingxiang, early in the morning, the thief was escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market and was punished by a thousand knives. This high thief was captured alive by the general's design. When I came to look for the general, I also went to see it a few times. ”

"Torture ......" Sun Yuan remembered the record of this kind of inhumane criminal law in the history books, and his heart suddenly sank. He also knew that Gao Yingxiang was going to the execution ground today, but as a modern person, Sun Yuan still couldn't accept it, so he didn't go to see it.

Zhu Ting became interested, and kept urging: "Tang Wenxing, tell me what the situation of the high thief is." I was going to go and see the excitement, but my father didn't allow it, saying that a girl's house would see how this kind of thing was done. Speaking of this, she was full of unhappiness: "It's not that I haven't fought on the battlefield, and the dead are much more visible." ”

Tang Wenxing: "This punishment of a thousand knives is not so easy to get, according to the system of my Ming Dynasty, the prisoner must suffer 3,600 knives, and he can die after wailing for three days and three nights." If he dies early, the executioner will be beheaded. Therefore, the executioner must avoid the prisoner's blood vessels and vital organs when using the knife......"

"In order to prevent the prisoner from being unable to endure death, the executioner also boiled a pot of decoction with old ginseng in advance, and fed the high thief a mouthful from time to time to hang him."

"When Ling Chi was executed, the executioner first cut a piece of meat on the major muscle in front of the prisoner and threw it to the sky, which is called sacrificing heavenly meat; The second knife is called the blindfold, the executioner cuts the flesh on the prisoner's head and pulls it down to cover the eyes, so as to prevent the prisoner and the executioner from looking at each other, and the gaze will make the executioner panic and affect the execution ......"

"That Gao Yingxiang is also a good man, after receiving more than ten knives, his body was as red as a blood gourd, and he didn't even scream."

"By the way, the high thief is cut by fish scales, that is, he strips his clothes naked, and tightly stangles his body with a fishing net on the outside, so that the pieces of his skin and flesh protrude outside the mesh, and the executioner holds a very thin and sharp knife, and cuts it until he dies......"

"The situation was very lively, and every time the executioner cut a knife, the people shouted "yes" and rushed up to grab the human flesh thrown down by the executioner, saying that this thing could be used as medicine

。 ”

……

Although Zhu Ting was very bold, when he heard Tang Wenxing's story, he was still shocked: "Don't say it, I don't like to hear it." ”

Tang Wenxing: "Rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished." ”

Zhu Ting: "I told you not to say it." ”

"Yes, Miss Zhu." Tang Wenxing closed his mouth.

"Although the thief deserves to die, he is also a hero, and there is a dry heaven and harmony for such torture." Zhu Ting snorted and shouted to Sun Yuan: "Sun thief, when you planned to make Gao Yingxiang, you should have given him a good time." ”

The voice of the Zhu family's family came from outside: "Master, General Sun is here, and he is in the study with the eldest lady!" ”

"General Sun is here?" As he spoke, the door curtain opened, and Zhu Xuanshui walked in with a cyan face.

The fact that Sun Yuan and Zhu Ting were dating was placed in ancient times, but it was a matter that made the Zhu family very embarrassed. He was a little embarrassed: "Zhu Qianhu, Sun Yuan is going to Bohai Institute in two days, and he came here today to say goodbye to Qianhu." ”

Zhu Xuanshui didn't seem to care about it, and only said: "You should go to Bohai Institute, and I should go back to Nanjing in a few days." This year's bloody storms, in the end, a certain only got a lieutenant in a light car, and he was busy in vain. This imperial court ...... The villain lives only high in the temple, and the loyal ministers and good generals cannot display their ambitions...... It's really chilling...... If it goes on like this, how can I support it in the future? ”

One butt is done on the chair, and the chin is supported by his hand in a daze.

Zhu Xuanshui's expression looked very depressed, Zhu Ting felt sorry for his father, and hurriedly comforted: "Daddy, what's so good about this Beijing, why do you keep thinking about coming back." My daughter has been in the south for more than ten years, and she is still a little unaccustomed to the water and soil here, so she has long wanted to go back to Nanjing. According to my daughter, it's a good thing that you can't be an official in Beijing. ”

Zhu Xuanshui shook his head bitterly: "The mountain rain is coming, the wind and rain are shaking, what is my personal gain and disgrace?" ”

Sun Yuan: "Qianhu, what's wrong?" ”

Zhu Xuanshui: "Liaoxi urgently reported that Dolgon, the prince of Jiannu, attacked Ganghwa Island and captured more than 200 Korean kings and important ministers, and threatened the Korean lord Li Cong

。 The lord of Korea was forced to send an envoy and decided to sacrifice the imperial seal issued by the Ming Dynasty and submit to the Qing Dynasty. In this way, Jiannu will completely relieve the troubles, and there will be a large-scale invasion in the future. What is going on with Jiannu's army, and what kind of virtue is my Ming border army, Sun Yuan, you also know very well. The big war is about to begin! When the time comes, the Eight Banners Iron Horse will go south, just ask, who can stop it? ”

Zhu Ting was very unconvinced: "Daddy, it's not like we haven't fought with Jiannu. In my daughter's opinion, it's not very good! Under my Ningxiang Army, isn't it like a lamb to the slaughter? ”

Zhu Xuanshui snorted: "What do you know, there are several Ningxiang troops in the world, and now the Ningxiang army is only 2,000 people." In the last battle of the slave chieftain Ashan, the real Dongyi Tartars were only a hundred people. If all the people of Jianzhou go south, there should be 20,000 real tartars, and I can resist it? ”

Although he had expected it, Sun Yuan was still shocked by Zhu Xuanshui's exaggerated expression: "Zhu Qianhu, you go on." ”

Zhu Xuanshui nodded.

That's right, at the founding ceremony of Huang Taiji's enthronement last year, the DPRK envoy refused to attend the ceremony, and although he was forced to participate, he resolutely refused to bow down and be polite. In the end, the two Korean envoys, after being humiliated, were forced to act according to the will of Huang Taiji and others, and accepted the Qing Dynasty's credentials that humiliated Korea.

After the two returned to China, the king of Joseon also responded to Huang Taiji in the form of a letter, unwilling to give in, and the relationship between the two countries developed to the point of saber rattling, and the next thing was war.

At this time, North Korea was extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and because of this loyalty, Huang Taiji decided to personally conquer Korea to relieve this trouble.

In the past, whenever the Manchus invaded the Ming Dynasty, North Korea would come out and harass the rear of Jianzhou, so that Huang Taiji could not devote all his strength.

At the beginning of December, Huang Taiji led Daishan, Dolgon, Duoduo, Yuetuo, Haoge, and Dudu, with a total of 100,000 troops, from Shenyang to attack Korea. The army arrived in Pyongyang on the 13th, and the Duoduo army reached Seoul on the 14th. That is, the capital of South Korea called Seoul bullshit in later generations.

North Korea could not arrive, and the king had to wait to hide in the mountains of Namhan.

The two sides began a tug-of-war, relying on the Korean mountains. Although the Eight Banners of Manchuria were fierce, they had no way to deal with the Koreans, who were also fierce and familiar with the terrain.

If this campaign dragged on, the final result would inevitably be that the Manchus ran out of military rations and returned home disappointed

。

Regardless of the relationship between the nation and the enemy, I have to admit that Huang Taiji is indeed a rare hero in this era, which can be called a majestic strategy. Whether it is political means or military talent, it is better than Emperor Chongzhen. Compared to him, the Ming Emperor was just a teenager with a flawed character, even though Emperor Chongzhen was in his thirties this year.

Huang Taiji knew that if he continued to confront North Korea like this, he would inevitably have long nights and dreams. After all, Korea was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and was attacked by the Manchus, and it was absolutely impossible for the Ming Dynasty, which was the suzerain, to sit idly by.

So he made a clever move by Dorgon to raid Ganghwa Island.

The king of Joseon had no choice but to surrender to the Manchus on the 30th day of the first lunar month.

Huang Taiji once again showed his political skill, and instead of turning the entire Joseon royal family and ministers into slaves of the Manchurians, as suggested by his Beylor princes, he generously freed the Joseon king and his ministers, leaving only the eldest and second sons of the Joseon king as hostages.

In this way, the whole of Korea completely fell to the Manchus.

After listening to Zhu Xuanshui's narration, Tang Wenxing suddenly asked: "Zhu Qianhu, North Korea is my Ming Dynasty's vassal state. Jiannu invaded Korea, did my Ming Dynasty ignore it? The Jiannu army marched eastward, and Liaodong was empty, which was a good time for the Guanning army to attack Jianzhou. Even if he can't achieve decent results, he can contain Jiannu, besiege Wei to save Zhao, and relieve the siege of Korea. ”

Zhu Xuanshui suddenly smiled desolately: "This time, Jiannu entered the capital division of my Ming Dynasty, burning, killing and looting under the emperor's nose. The Guan Ning army is in Shanhaiguan, but from beginning to end, have they sent a single soldier? The border army of my Ming Dynasty has been completely broken by Jiannu. Now, North Korea has surrendered, and Jiannu can finally free up his hands to go south with all his might, and I am the Ming Dynasty...... I have a hard time after the Ming Dynasty! ”

Tang Wenxing clenched his fists fiercely, and his voice was hoarse: "Guanning Army, Liaoxi Jiangmen, the imperial court spends so much military expenditure every year, is it not possible to feed the dogs?" ”

Outside, the snow was heavy, and a cold wind was howling.

Looking up, the sky in the capital was full of lead clouds. The fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year is about to pass, and the winter of the tenth year of Chongzhen is extremely cold.

Winter is just in time, but spring is far away.
