―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

Guannai is still the harvest season when everything is golden, and in the northeast, on the wide and vast plains further north of the Songhua River, there is already some sadness that everything is slaughtered.

This is an endless plain, I don't know how far, how wide, but it is not the same as other places, it is not very flat, the ground is also undulating, but the height of the ups and downs is not large, this is the characteristic of the Northeast Great Plain, a piece of extremely low hills, constituting an endless plain.

From time to time, there are patches of woods on the plains, wild grasses grow wildly, slightly yellowish, the sky is high, exceptionally clear, at a glance, people are open-minded.

A team of cavalry galloping on the grassland, the speed is not very fast, in fact, the story of the cavalry galloping thousands of miles can only appear in some mentally handicapped historical dramas, unless they continue to change horses, otherwise, let alone a war horse ridden by the cavalry, even if it is an empty horse with him, he can't stand this kind of wild gallop.

I've been exhausted for a long time.

In fact, when the cavalry is not charging in groups, they will even walk with their own horses to reduce the burden.

Each cavalry is equipped with a deputy horse, and their weapons, armor, and food are placed on the auxiliary horse, which can greatly reduce the burden, in fact, an adult man is only a hundred or dozens of pounds, but if he is fully armed, this weight will increase to more than two hundred pounds.

Especially these wild maiden real soldiers, they all use heavy weapons such as maces, and the foreigners in the Wuyi Military Weapons Bureau don't know what the shortage is. It's all weighty, and in this way, it's even heavier.

The Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and this area has not been effectively developed, so it is not at all like the rich land of the Central Plains. It is all cultivated land in the village, and the wheat waves are rolling, and there are the most here. There are wild grasses and small patches of woods and shrubs, swampy wetlands hidden in the grass, and the occasional small lake.

The army gallops. Countless wild beasts, roe deer, pheasants, badgers, wild boars, etc., were startled out of their nests by the sound of the earth's vibration, and ran around in panic.

In the long cavalry procession, brass bells hung on the last few empty horses, and as the horses ran, the long bells rang from time to time, letting the cavalrymen at the front know that no partner was left behind.

"What a fertile land! If it weren't for the fact that there were few Jurchens, I am afraid that the northeast would have been occupied by them a long time ago. Ye Feinan shook his body. Looking at the vast land in the distance, he took a deep breath, and there was a deep intoxication in his eyes.

When I was in the Central Plains, I couldn't see such a scenery at all, and the population of the Central Plains was so dense. But wherever you can see the land, there must be people, villages, and cultivated land. And in the Northeast, there is no need to even cultivate, this beast is everywhere. River fish is enough to make people fat and strong. After staying in the Northeast for more than a year, Ye Feinan has deeply appreciated the fertility here.

"Your Excellency is right!" The Derge next to him smiled, and the corners of his mouth showed a hideous look: "But now, we are going to slaughter these cubs!" ”

Ye Feinan smiled slightly, he knew that although his deputy was a wild Jurchen, his hatred for the Jurchens was ten times greater than his own! If you slaughter the Jurchens, you will be ten times more ruthless than yourself! The day before yesterday in Salhu, he had seen with his own eyes that the Derge had driven a group of dozens of Jurchens into a house, and then set the house on fire.

The Jurchens inside were burned alive.

As for why the two sides are originally a clan but are so hateful, the reason is also very simple, if the Central Plains Dynasty has always regarded the Jurchens as a border trouble, then the Jurchens and the wild Jurchens have been feuding for hundreds of years. The early civilization of the Jurchens and the early civilization looked down on those wild Jurchens who were still mixed in the mountains and forests, and the Jurchen population was small, so they captured the wild Jurchens and treated them as slaves. And the men who stayed behind were also slaves, slaves and cannon fodder. …,

With such a backlog of decades, can you not hate?

Ye Feinan was originally the second thousandth household of the cavalry guard, and later the two wild Jurchen heavy cavalry guards were established one after another, and he was transferred to the seventh guard Zhao Nanjin as a thousand households, since these fierce wild Jurchens were brought under his command, the fourth guard officers like him were transferred to two new cavalry guards one after another, enriching the officer strength, so that the two cavalry guards formed combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Of course, a large number of Han officers were drawn from the Fourth Guard, also to strengthen control. And the Derge class around him is from a wild girl, and he is one of his three deputy thousand households.

The 15,000 cavalry of the Wuyi Army's three guards were scattered into dozens of units in units of half a thousand households, and this group of about 450 cavalry was led by Ye Feinan and Derge.

The Derge class, called Mulinde in the ancient Jurchen language, means tree stump.

Derg was a bit prescient when his dad came up with the name, and the Derg was like a tree stump. He is about the same height as other Jurchens, that is, one meter and his early sixties, but his waist circumference is almost this number, and the whole person looks like a square, with an extremely thick figure and a fierce complexion, like a butcher. The arms are thicker than the thighs of other men, and the neck is negligible, as if the head is directly attached to the body.

He was clearly of Caucasian descent, with pale brown eyes, a reddish-brown beard on his unkempt face, and hair of the same color braided into small braids with heavy gold rings tied to them.

Ye Feinan was extremely speechless about his taste.

Derge didn't want to join the Wu Yi Army.

The abundance of white mountains and black water makes them not afraid that they will starve to death, as long as they have a house that is warm enough, there is enough salt, and a lot of meat is marinated before winter comes, this winter can also be very comfortable. In addition to having to deal with those damn slave hunters, it can be said that the life of the wild Jurchens is still good, although the supplies are extremely scarce, but they are not starving to death. You can also raise your own fat and strong.

That's why the wild Jurchen can roar in the mountains and forests and not be ruled by anyone.

But when Nurhachi led a large army to surround their village, they had no choice but to surrender or die, with only two paths to take.

Although the wild Jurchens are rough and brave, they are not stupid. The entire tribe of the Derg surrendered to Nurhachi. At this time, in his heart, for Nurhachi. For Wu Yijun, he is quite resentful, in his opinion. What's the difference between this and those damned slave catchers?

But when he was taken to Zhenyuan Mansion, resettled, and joined the army, his thoughts slowly changed.

Their family lived in a comfortable house, although it was not very luxurious, but it was very warm and comfortable. Each of their families was allocated a large amount of arable land, and there were Han people who came to teach them how to farm, how to divert water for irrigation, etc., and the Han people in the surrounding villages were very kind. Cultivating the land instead of hunting meant that they were not responsible for the accidental casualties that come with hunting every year.

What's more. Now you can drink tea as much as you like, and every family has one or two sips of iron pots! It's pitiful, these things used to cost a lot of animal skin and ginseng to get them! As for the iron pot, it takes four or five households to share a mouthful. This thing is like a baby.

Mr. Han also came to the village and opened a private school to teach children to learn Chinese and write Chinese characters. There are very few people in the Derge tribe who can write, and for those who can read, the Derg has always been respectful and fearful. As soon as he heard that his child could read and write, he and his mother-in-law were overjoyed. …,

Human nature dictates that they prefer this kind of life, otherwise agriculture would not be an inevitable trend in the development of all civilizations. Because it is easier to obtain food and safer than hunting and grazing.

And when it came to the army, the Derge class was even happier, the weapons provided by Wu Yijun were full of weight and well-forged, which could not be compared with the broken copper and iron made by himself before.

This alone is enough to make these wild female reals happy and convincing, and in their bones, they still have the blood of a warrior in their bones.

All of this has changed the mind of the Derg class.

In fact, there are not many people in the army who have the same idea as him, and their attitude towards Wu Yijun was a little resistant at first, but as the life of the family is getting better and better, the children are more and more literate, and those rare things that could not be seen have become common, and Wu Yijun is slowly returning to his heart.

This made them all understand the difference between Wu Yijun and the Jurchen treatment of them, from resistance to active integration, and Lian Zining also slowly relaxed the control of the wild Jurchen officers, with several battles, the two wild Jurchen guards made great achievements, so that a large number of officers from the wild Jurchens quickly emerged in the sixth and seventh guards.

All this has made all the wild female reals see themselves as a part of Wu Yijun, and they are loyal.

The wild Jurchens in the Roaring Mountains and Forests in the past have now become loyal dogs under Lian Zining, and whoever wants to offend the interests of Wu Yijun, they will show their bright fangs and tear each other to death.

Derge felt a little hot, and he took off his big red fat jacket, which was a leather armor, and the front of the leather armor was nailed with five or six pieces of iron the size of a palm, almost covering the front, and the edge of the black leather armor was inlaid with dense rivets. Although the sixth and seventh guards were heavy cavalry guards, Wu Yijun really couldn't come up with so much heavy armor in a short period of time, in stark contrast to this, their weapons were out-and-out heavy weapons. Now the first two guards were heavy cavalry in armament and light cavalry in defense - they were armed with this leather armor.

The production of leather armor is not very difficult, the main problem lies in the raw materials, the best leather armor material is cowhide, but due to the important position of cattle in agricultural civilization, this guy is a protected animal in all dynasties, and it is not allowed to kill casually, and it will be sentenced to death. But the wild nuns don't care about this, they have the most animal skins of all colors, and the leathers of those large beasts are countless, and when it comes to materials, they are much more high-end than cowhides.

The convoy of the Lian chaebol is not just as simple as selling things, they bring a large number of scarce materials outside the border, such as tea, iron pots, etc., to take away the special mountain goods of the Northeast, and at the same time, they also recruit a large number of craftsmen and craftsmen to Lian Zining. Lian Zining's territory is now lacking in everything, especially in the absence of this kind of craftsmanship, and the price he offered is also quite high, attracting many people who can't get along in the customs to come here. Lian Zining assigned them all under the name of the logistics department. Provide housing and accommodation, sprinkle a lot of silver, and naturally do things honestly.

These leather armors are made by these craftsmen.

Derg liked the leather armor so much that he thought it was better than the heavy iron armor.

It's about the end of the day, after the departure from Sarhu. It's been more than 100 miles of progress.

When the group of people climbed the dirt slope in front, their eyes suddenly lit up, and many people's breathing immediately became short. This shows the excitement in their hearts.

About three or four miles ahead, a small river flowed quietly and joined a lake. Not far away is a grove of trees, and between the woods and the lake, a small village stands out. …,

The hamlet was now peaceful, apparently undetected by their group of invaders.

Ye Feinan and Derge glanced at each other, and both saw the fierce killing intent in each other's eyes, and Derge frustrated his teeth: "My lord, do you want to do it?" ”

"Why don't you do it?" Ye Feinan smiled coldly: "If you don't leave one, the future will be left to you!" ”

"Your Excellency, just look at it!" Derg smiled bloodthirsty.

"Brethren. Kill me! Ye Feinan slowly accelerated his horse, and after him, hundreds of cavalry rushed towards the village like wolves.

When they were still a few hundred meters away from the village, Wu Yijun was apparently found in the village, and they didn't know what these people were who had killed them. But when you see their hideous momentum, you know that they are not good. The terrible sound of trumpets sounded in the distance, and there was a panic in the village, and a dozen or so young men ran out, closed the gate on the fence, and put up the pillar behind it. Derg class see. Many men stood behind the fence and stood for the battle.

After all, the Jurchens are not as good as the Han people, and the people are fierce, and when they encounter this situation, although they are panicked, they are not tied up.

It's just that their resistance is doomed in vain.

Obviously, no one thought that Wu Yijun would kill him, and the village had no defense at all, just a fence outside to prevent blind beasts, not even a trench.

Wu Yijun has already killed the river, the river is not deep, but it is only up to the horse's knees, some soldiers picked up flintlock pistols and wanted to fire, Ye Feinan shouted: "Don't shoot, save ammunition...... All with bows and arrows! ”

In foreign wars, ammunition is not replenished, so it is better to save a little as much as possible.

Everyone should have put away their flintlock pistols, stretched out their bows and arrows, and the war horses crossed the river one after another, and when they crossed the river, the speed naturally slowed down, and at this time, it was only sixty or seventy meters away from the village, and they could already see the inside of the village clearly. The village is not large, about 100 households, and the fence outside the village is no more than a foot high, and behind the fence, seventy or eighty men of different ages are stretching their bows and arrows, aiming at this side. Behind them, there were many women and children looking through the doorway, and although they were putting on a defensive posture, their faces were already full of despair.

Suddenly, a man standing in the middle behind the fence waved his hand heavily, Ye Feinan secretly screamed that it was not good, and shouted loudly: "Get down, lie down!" ”

With the shouting, dozens of feathered arrows were already splashed over.

I have to say that this time Wu Yijun was too big, they didn't take these villagers in their eyes at all, and their spirits were very relaxed, but fortunately, Ye Feinan reminded them in time, and they lay on the back of the horse one after another. Rao was like this, and he was also shot over two, both of them were shot in the chest, blood gushed out of their mouths, their bodies were crooked, and they were smashed into the water, and the blood was pouring out, and they saw that they were not alive.

Three other soldiers were also wounded.

"Fuck, archery, archery!" Derge instantly bloodied, and there was only a piece of blood red left in his eyes, none of them died when he beat Salhu, but he didn't expect that there would be deaths and injuries in this small village, for him, this is an incomparably huge shame!

Everyone opened their bows and shot at them, and on the back of the bumpy horse, the accuracy was naturally not ideal, but the dense rain of arrows was enough to make up for it, and a rain of arrows splashed over, and more than half of the villagers behind the fence were killed and wounded on the spot. Compared to them, the wild Jurchen warriors of the Wu Yi Army have more accurate, faster, and sharper arrows!

After all, they were not soldiers, and with so many casualties at once, those villagers were at first at a loss, and then they shouted and fled in all directions.

The well-trained and the rabble are clear at a glance.

"Want to run? Did you run? Derge smiled hideously, and at this time Wu Yijun had already crossed the river and went to the opposite bank, and he shouted: "Brothers, kill with me!" ”…,

"Kill, kill, kill!" The shouts of killing spread throughout this small village, and the villagers scattered in panic, and the adults made the children cry, but where could they flee?

The wild Jurchen warriors brandished their thick maces and smashed them the fence, and the wooden fence with the thickness of their forearms was as fragile as paper paste under their hands, and it was smashed and smashed on the spot, and the army killed it without hindrance.

At this moment, the ending is doomed.

After a cup of tea, the battle is over. Strictly speaking, the battle did not begin either, and if there were more people, it would be better, but with so few people, these civilians would not have the courage to resist when facing a large army.

Everyone in the village was gathered in a clearing near the lake, men and women huddled together, their faces full of despair and fear, trembling, waiting for an unknown fate.

The wild Jurchen warriors rode their horses around constantly, and some people rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the village, and after a while, a small mountain was piled up on the right hand side of the clearing, which contained precious metals such as gold and silver utensils, as well as scattered silver and sand gold, and as for ginseng and animal skins and other things, there were countless things.

"My lord, all the people in the village who can find some money are here!" A Han 100 households reported loudly.

"Hmm!" Ye Feinan nodded and looked at the soldiers under his command.

There have long been rules in the Wu Yi Army, all seized property is confiscated, the above is uniformly distributed, and all private possession is a felony, but when the Wu Yi Army was first established, all kinds of vices have not had time to form, and Lian Zining's military law is strict, everything is in accordance with the regulations, so the soldiers can always distribute a lot of property. So they didn't care about these possessions, but their eyes were ziplining through the crowd.

Ye Feinan sighed when he saw this, he waved his hand at the Derge class who was greedy on the side, and said angrily: "Time for a cup of tea!" ”

"Well, let's do it quickly!" Seeing that Ye Feinan was relieved, Derge was overjoyed, and laughed: "Brothers, choose the best two for our thousands of households." ”

The soldiers were immediately excited, they dismounted, broke into the crowd, and in the midst of a cry, violently dragged the women out by the hair, and gathered on the other side, about two hundred women. They huddled together, their faces full of horror, and many of them cried loudly, as if they already knew the fate they were going to face.

Ye Feinan couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, but thinking about the tragic situation of the villages that were slaughtered by the Jurchens when he came north with the army last year, his heart hardened again.

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, our Wu Yijun pays attention to military discipline, but it also depends on the person. This official is approved, in this operation, rape and plunder, there is no prohibition at all, as long as you complete the combat mission, you can toss as you want! ”

Before leaving, the murderous and gloomy words of the adults at the meeting echoed in his ears, which also made Ye Feinan settle down.

For the Han people of this era, the Jurchens are not people, they are animals!

The soldiers jumped off their horses one after another, and ran to the pile of women to choose from them, and Derge scolded: "Don't forget to choose the two most beautiful ones for Master Ye." ”

After a while, two young girls were led by the soldiers to this side, their appearance can only be regarded as medium, but in this Jurchen village, they are indeed the most beautiful. However, the figure made Ye Feinan's eyes light up, their coats had been stripped off, and they were only wearing small clothes, revealing their slender waists and toned thighs, and a pair of huge swaying on their chests. Due to the long-term labor, their complexion is a healthy wheat color, and dragging a few soldiers over, they cry and struggle, which makes people even more horny.

Ye Feinan's eyes lit up, he smiled, and said to Derge: "You say, what should I do?" ”

Derge suddenly remembered a Chinese saying that his son came home to show off his new learning to him before he went on the expedition, and he thought about it for a long time before he remembered it, and said: "My lord, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone." ”

"Okay, then it's better to be happy alone!" Ye Feinan smiled lewdly, got off the horse, and pulled one of the goose-faced women towards the woods on the side, and said, "Derge, that woman has rewarded you, I want one." ”
