After Li Jiaxi escorted the Tartar down, Peng Bo came to report the casualties of Maojiatun with red eyes. This time, Maojiatun's losses are indeed very heavy. So far, more than 20 bodies have been found, including old people, women, and children. There were more than fifty houses that were burned down. When it came to Maojiatun's loss, Peng Bo and the others couldn't help but cry.
The other guards were also very sad to look at it, and couldn't help crying. One by one, all eyes fell on the three pirates who were captured alive. The Tartar was escorted down, and the three unidentified characters remained here. They are neither Tartars nor Han Chinese, and the ghosts know what they are.
Yang Qianqiang came to report on the battle situation.
The convoy itself lost six killed and thirteen wounded. Among the six people killed in battle, there were three new soldiers and three old soldiers. Four people died under the arrows of the Tartars, and two died from the Tartar attacks. The total number of Tartar corpses counted at the scene is eight. The corpses of other "pirates" counted at the scene totaled thirty-three. Together with the four captives captured alive, a total of thirty-seven enemies were eliminated.
"Carry the wounded back to Yangjiatun for treatment first."
"The remains of the sacrificed soldiers are temporarily left in Maojiatun."
Zhang Zhun nodded, and said to Yang Qianqiang with a solemn face.
Yang Qianqiang agreed.
Zhang Zhun said to Peng Bo again: "Take these three pirates down as well, and you will be responsible for interrogation." Find a few folks, see if anyone can communicate with them, and see if you can find out some information. If you can't ask anything, leave it to the villagers to deal with. ”
Peng Bo agreed and arranged to go.
Leave it to the folks to deal with, how to deal with it, and you can figure it out with your heels.
This time, more than 20 people died in Maojiatun and dozens of houses were burned, and it was absolutely impossible for these pirates not to be chopped up and fed to the dogs. When they came ashore, they should have expected such consequences.
Zhang Zhun ordered the troops to regroup and organize their weapons and equipment.
He wants to return to Yangjiatun as soon as possible.
Zhang Zhun always felt that Wang Shixin's goal should still be Yangjiatun. The appearance of these Tartars in Maojiatun is nothing more than a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain. He decided to leave Li Jiaxi and Peng Bo to continue to deal with the aftermath in Maojiatun, and he rushed back quickly with Yang Qianqiang and Yin Fengyi. Sure enough, the team rushed to the halfway point and met Zou Mingjia, who came to report the news.
When Zou Mingjia saw him, he shouted: "Captain, Wang Fuhai is really dispatched." ”
Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Where are you now?" ”
Zou Mingjia said regretfully: "Retracted again." ”
It turned out that when Zhang Zhun was heading to Maojiatun with his escort, the west gate of Fushan City suddenly opened, and dozens of heavily armed family members poured out of it, all carrying muskets. The leader is Wang Shixin's eldest son, Wang Fuhai. It seems that Wang Shixin really wanted to take advantage of the escort team to go to Maojiatun to sneak attack Yangjiatun, take the chestnuts in the fire, and make a lot of money.
It's a pity that Yang Zhiyuan and others were not concealed in time and were discovered by Wang Fuhai's scouts. The terrain around Fushan City was too flat, and the large army could not ambush it at all. Wang Fuhai sensed that something was wrong, just left the city, and shrank back. Yang Zhiyuan and others wanted to pursue, but Wang Fuhai ran back to the city and closed the city gate again. The convoy had no siege weapons, so they had to give up for the time being.
"Forget it, I'll settle accounts with him later."
This time there was no ambush on Wang Fuhai, and Zhang Zhun felt a little regretful.
However, fighting a war is an ever-changing thing, and it is impossible for everything to go smoothly, and the other party is not a fool, and it is impossible to act according to his plan every step. I can't catch Wang Fuhai this time, I still have a chance next time, so don't worry.
Now that Yangjiatun was safe and sound, Zhang Zhun led the team and returned to Maojiatun. Mao Jiatun suffered such a big loss this time, he wanted to come forward in person and pour a little oil on everyone's anger, so that this angry fire burned more violently.
Li Jiaxi arrived and reported: "Captain, Tartar has spoken. ”
It turned out that this Tartar called himself Wen Buduo (transliteration), and it was indeed the Jianzhou Jurchen. Wen Buduo turned out to be a subordinate of Amin, the general of Houjin and one of the four major Baylors. However, he was not the leader of these Tartars, the Tartar archers who were killed by Zhang Zhun was. That Tartar archer was called Tambu, and he used to be Amin's personal soldier, and he was very skilled in archery. This attack on Maojiatun was led by an ambush.
Amin is Nurhachi's nephew, his father's name is Shurhaqi, and he is Nurhachi's younger brother, who was killed by Nurhachi because of his struggle for power. Because of this, Amin has always been at odds with Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji is also very jealous of Amin. When conquering Korea, Amin tried to establish himself on the basis of Korea, but he was opposed by his subordinates and failed.
Soon after returning to Shenyang, Amin was relieved of his military power by Huang Taiji and then placed under house arrest. His subordinates were also assigned to the command of others. However, some of the Tartars who remained loyal to Amin escaped and scattered all over the country. Ambush is one of them. The one who led him to Shandong was Shu Buru, a general under Amin in the past.
"Shubru? Where is he? Zhang Zhun immediately grasped the crux of the problem.
Wen Buduo refused to reveal anything. I was afraid that if he continued to be tortured, he would die, so I had to suspend the trial for the time being. Li Jiaxi said regretfully.
Zhang Zhun nodded slowly.
He didn't expect to be confronted with the Tartars so soon.
But on the right is on the right, anyway, sooner or later, he will have to fight with the Tartars, a certain great man said well, it is better to fight late than early, he doesn't believe it, how strong the Tartars will be in Shandong! With the help of these scattered tartars, the combat effectiveness of the escort can also be honed.
"Who are the others?" Zhang Zhun was silent for a moment and continued to ask.
"It's North Koreans! North Koreans who work for the Tatars! Li Jiaxi replied.
The other so-called pirates are actually Koreans, Koreans who have taken refuge in the Tartars. In the last year of the Great Ming Dynasty, during the reign of Hou Jin Tiancong, Huang Taiji used troops against North Korea on a large scale, forcing North Korea to recognize that Hou Jin was the suzerain, and was loyal to Hou Jin, and some Koreans took refuge in the Tartars and became the accomplices of the Tartars. Perhaps due to the incomprehensible psychology of some others, these Koreans were particularly cruel to the Han people after they took refuge in Houjin. A considerable part of the Han people in Liaodong died at the hands of these quasi-Tartars.
The general of the Tartar army when they conquered Korea was Amin, so the number of Koreans who defected to Amin was the most, and these quasi-Tartars were also the most ferocious against the Han Chinese. After Amin was placed under house arrest, these quasi-Tartars had no backers and were scattered everywhere, some continued to work for Amin, while others switched to other Houjin nobles and continued to act as Houjin Tatars to kill Han people.
In the past, North Korea has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, under the protection of the Ming Dynasty, in the Wanli years, the invasion of North Korea, the Ming army entered Korea, resisted and aided Korea, and hit the army hard, and the friendship between the two countries is not deep. However, after taking refuge in the Tartars, some Koreans immediately turned their faces and relied on the force of the Tartars to try to override the Ming Dynasty. They followed the Tartars to do a lot of evil, their hands were stained with the blood of the Han people, and the Han people in Liaodong gritted their teeth and hated them when they talked about these quasi-Tartars.
Of course, not all North Koreans are willing to take refuge in the Houjin Tatars. In fact, in North Korea, the movement against the Houjin Tatars has never stopped, and even among the royal family and nobility of North Korea, there are those who are unwilling to submit to the rule of the Houjin Tatars. They prefer to accept the Celestial Empire as their suzerain, rather than accept the barbarians of Houjin. It's just that they don't have enough resistance to fight against the silver power of the post-golden tartars. Speaking of which, it was the Ming Dynasty itself that was incompetent, and he couldn't even protect his little brother.
After thinking about it, Zhang Zhun asked again: "Is there still a Tartar on Fukushima?" ”
Li Jiaxi replied: "Yes." It is said that there were five more Tatars, and fifty or sixty Koreans, all of whom worked for the Tatars. They tried to be permanent in Fukushima. ”
After hesitating for a moment, Li Jiaxi said again: "It is said that there are still Han people...... It's also for the Tartars...... There were about thirty or forty people. Tartars, Koreans, Han Chinese, combined, there are probably more than a hundred people. ”
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "These Han annihilation! Two devils! Worse than a tartar! ”
Raise your voice and shout: "Yang Zhiyuan! ”
Yang Zhiyuan replied: "Here!" ”
Zhang Zhun said: "Select 200 capable fighters, gather in Maojiatun, and have a combat mission at night!" The left-behind personnel were led by Zou Mingjia and continued to monitor the movements of Fushan City! ”
Yang Zhiyuan replied: "Yes!" ”
Zhang Zhun thought for a while, and then said, "Let Yang Zixuan's musket team also get ready!" Let's go together when it's time to go! The Tartar archers are quite good and may need their muskets! ”
After a pause, Zhang Zhun said again: "Order Yang Guohua to drive the warship to Fukushima!" Let Yang Zixuan's musket team follow the warship. Didn't he want to join the convoy? Now is the time for him to express himself! ”
Yang Zhiyuan excitedly agreed.
"Peng Bo!"
Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted again.
"Here!"
Peng Bo hurriedly responded.
Zhang Zhun said: "Can Maojiatun prepare some ships?" We want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and we have to go up to Fukushima! ”
Peng Bo replied excitedly: "No problem! I'm going to find the third master now! ”
The third master in his mouth is Mao San, the most respected old man in Maojiatun, similar to a character like Yang Kaide. He also went to the Liaodong front line, and he hated the Tartars to the core. This time, Maojiatun suffered a heavy blow, and I heard that it was the Tartar who took the lead, and the third master Mao was really trembling with anger, and even told himself that even if he gave out a handful of old bones, he would have to fight with the Tartar!
Hearing that the escort was going to Fukushima, Maojiatun's fathers and villagers naturally did their best to help, and soon gathered three sampans, plus two when the Tartars went ashore, plus the three ships that Zhang Zhun captured from Rubink and others, a total of eight sampans, enough for the escort team to dispatch hundreds of people.
"Yulin! I'll go up to Fukushima with you! ”
"Don't look at me old! I also killed the Tartars back then! The first fifty taels of silver for a tartar were set by the emperor! I killed two Tartars and got sixty taels of silver! The other forty taels were all deducted by the officials! ”
The third master came to Zhang Zhun in person to express his determination.
Zhang Zhun had no choice but to glance at Peng Bo.
"Third master, we all know that you are powerful...... But, Third Master, if you make a move and kill all the Tartars, won't we, young people, have nothing to do? Third master, even if you give us future generations a chance......"
Peng Bo chattered and persuaded the third master away.
"Hand over those three North Koreans to the villagers, don't interrogate!"
Zhang Zhun said coldly.
Li Jiaxi agreed to go.
Soon, the three Koreans who had worked for the Tartars were dragged to an open space in the middle of Maojiatun and handed over to the angry people. As for what the people would do with them, Zhang Zhun didn't ask. Whether to kill or chop, to eat alive or to skin alive, is someone else's business, and he has never done such cruel things.
His eyes were now firmly fixed on Fukushima.
