Fanzhi County, Daizhou, Shanxi, out of the north building, is the boundary of Hunyuan Prefecture in Datong Prefecture. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Yisang River goes straight upstream, and there are many natural villages built by the water in ancient and modern times, and the natural situation is even worse than that of the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, such as the bitter cold land adjacent to the outside of the Jindi.

Since the Taizu of this dynasty, here is outside the military and civilian garrison outside the Saiwai, from the Hongwu period, there are many soldiers who garrison the border to reclaim the wasteland here, and then gradually formed a village and town by the mountains and rivers, and set up many fortresses.

Sanghe Wangjiazhuang, the same is true, most of the ancestors migrated here from the north and south of Jinnan, the generations have multiplied, Wangjiazhuang has also evolved into a large village with more than 100 households, it is said that although the life of the military household is not good, but the ancestors of the Sanghe Wang family can not stand a thousand households.

Passed down, in the nearby Andong Zhongtun Wei, now the Wang family has a deputy thousand households on duty, there is such a backstage to take care of, in ordinary times, the local government does not dare to oppress too much, a little labor to scrape, and it is not the turn of the Sanhe Wang family.

In these days, I can barely live, and the terrain in this area of Wangjiazhuang, although the best paddy fields have been encroached upon, but it is convenient to get water near the river, and everyone will live and work in peace and contentment.

At least it is much better than the people in other nearby villages, but by the seventh day of June in the fifth year of Chongzhen, all this has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the second room of the uncle of the Wang family in Zhuangzi, that is, Wang Tai, the deputy of the Qianhu of Andong Zhongtun Weizuo, sent people back, saying that hundreds of thousands of Tartar soldiers invaded the south, and the area around Wangjiazhuang was no longer safe, so all the people in Zhuangzi went into the city to hide.

At the same time, it also brought the news that the Tartars invaded the south and ravaged the place and killed the people, and at this time, no one dared to joke with their lives, and the entire Zhuangzi began to act, packed up the salutes and food, and prepared to hide in the city.

But Wangjiazhuang has never been very poor, so everyone's things, there are really a lot, except for the poorest ones in the Zhuangzi, even if they enter the city, they have no fixed place, and the rest have packed up for a day or two before they are barely ready to start.

"Dad, let's hurry up, the vanguard of the Tartar soldiers is not far from here."

On the day of the migration, Wang Tai, who was the deputy of a thousand households, also personally brought more than a dozen military households from the guard to help, but the anxiety in his heart made him can't help urging his elders.

"Antai, you are also so old, how can you still not change your temperament and be reckless, we are here in the mainland, even if the Tartar soldiers come over, there are so many fortress armies on the way, they are all eating dry food?!"

Uncle Wang is not a dry eater, he was also on duty in the guard in previous years, if he wasn't old, he wouldn't have let him, the most outstanding second son, be missing, at this moment, he just didn't like it, and couldn't help but scold.

"Dad, don't be idle to be a son's ignorance, it's really this time, the Tartar soldiers are too strong, my family commander didn't even dare to stay in the station, and ran to Datong Mansion overnight to hide, the military households in the north are all bad seeds, none of them are useful, I heard that in the west of Guangling, how many villages are called Tartars to harm!"

Wang Tai was so anxious that he couldn't do it, three days ago, he heard the news that Guangling had Tartar soldiers and horses, and they were all cavalry, this Wangjiazhuang was separated from Guangling by a few fortresses, and the warning was usually successful, but let them resist the Tartar soldiers, isn't this nonsense?

"That's also your uselessness, when I was replaced, that Tartar dared to enter the Kou? Can't knock him to death! ”

When the uncle of the Wang family heard this, he was immediately angry, thinking that when he was on duty, Emperor Wanli was still there, even if he retreated, when the Emperor of the Apocalypse, wouldn't Datong Town also press the Mongolian Tartars to fight? How did he change to his own son, even Datong Mansion was almost breached, and the face of the entire Datong Town was lost.

When Wang Tai heard this, he didn't refute it, who let this be the truth, he was going to persuade him, but as soon as he looked up, his face suddenly changed wildly, and he didn't care about human etiquette, so he directly set up his father and yelled at the guards behind him, "Lead the horse quickly!" ”

When those few military households heard this, they were also stunned, but they had sharp eyes, looking at the wolf smoke lit in the northeast direction like a pillar, and their faces suddenly changed wildly, this is an early warning, they live here all the year round, who doesn't know that there is a military fort less than ten miles northeast of Wangjiazhuang? Here are 500 Tartar soldiers!

"Let's go! Dad, please, if you're a son, let's go! ”

Wang Tai dragged his father while beckoning the relatives and elders in Zhuangzi to leave quickly, and he didn't even care about some wealth, so he directly sent his father to the war horse, and didn't care whether he could bear it in the old age, so he directly pulled the war horse and galloped, anyway, he had done his best to be benevolent and righteous, just take his father away, as for the others, it depends on his fate.

"You are a murderer, your uncle and your brother are all behind, how can you, as a thousand households of the imperial court, abandon the people of the imperial court?"

Although the uncle of the Wang family is old, after all, he was born in the army, and his horseback riding work is still not lagging behind, but what makes him unacceptable is that his son, as a thousand households under the rule of the imperial court, cares about the lives and deaths of the people in vain, and his first reaction when he hears the news of the thief is to run away? !

Wang Tai was even more anxious, and roared, "My father, even if I really have 1,100 men and horses on hand, I don't dare to fight with the Tartars, they want to kill!" ”

"You rebel, you're angry with me! If you don't let go, you don't go, your father and I will go! ”

"Dad, just let it go, anyway, I just take you away, I can't control the others, you see, I'm just a dozen people, there are hundreds of Tartar soldiers, where have I ever fought, isn't this letting your son go to death?"

Wang Tai saw his father struggling on the war horse, so he didn't dare to run too fast, so he could only slow down slowly, for fear of bumping him down.

"Tartar soldiers, run!"

"Mother~ Where are you!"

"Mother-in-law, run! The man-eating tartars are coming. ”

Suddenly, the entire fleeing team was in chaos, and from the northeast hill, a cavalry with a vaguely visible silhouette was directly turned out. Tartars! It's really coming!

"Kill!"

In front of the leader, it was the light cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners, they followed the Jurchen Eight Banners, all the way into the interior, looting without calculation, and the local Ming troops were all shrunken turtles, allowing them to wreak havoc in the countryside and fields, without sending a single soldier to resist.

Since the half month since entering the army, the only thing that this cavalry has to do is to follow the road all the way to the south, as simple as a companion army, there is almost no resistance on the road, as long as the soldiers are in the direction of the wind, all they need to do is to drive the war horses to go, and then take the fleeing people prisoner.

So this also fueled their arrogance more and more, originally Huang Taiji before entering the Kou, had announced a military order in naturalization, each banner is not allowed to advance lightly, where deep into the interior, within ten miles, there need to be two Manchurian Niulu, this is to avoid the lone army deep into the Ming army surrounded by the Ming army.

Because it was extremely difficult for the Jurchen soldiers to replenish, every loss was unacceptable.

But when they entered the customs, the Jurchens and Mongols found that the Han people in the south had been decayed, and there were 15,000 or 6,000 people in the Wanquanwei garrison alone, but in the case of encountering a Niulu of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, they did not dare to go out of the city to fight, and the Derge class led more than 1,000 Jurchen five Niulu and more than 3,000 Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers to capture Xinping, and it was even more effortless.

After entering the customs, the seizures reported by the various banners were not counted, but there were more than 14,000 Dingkou, 700 carts of goods, and 900 other cattle, sheep and livestock, while the loss of the Jurchen Mongols was three killed and five wounded by the Ming army.

This number is simply a joke, according to the statistics of each banner itself, when the marching army was captured, there were jian, yin people often happened, but all those who were scratched and bitten were more than this number, and it really made people look down on the Ming army, it was simply a group of wrecks!

Therefore, the three Niu Lu of the Manchurian Zheng Red Banner, under the leadership of Sakhalian, advanced lightly, and the vanguard was only one Niu Lu with more than 200 people with the same number of Mongolian Eight Banners, and more than 300 Aha, led by Niu Lu Zhangjing Tang Gul Shaha, but at this moment it went deep into the front line of Wangjiazhuang.

Only its Manchurian Jurchen soldiers have a leader and three vests, with more than 40 real Jurchen horsemen, and the rest of the Mongolian cavalry is more than 120 people, and the Aha is the same as a hundred people, but it is such a small army, along the way through three fortresses, and the Ming army outside a thousand households, no one dares to fight, along the way, they captured more than 700 people, broken five villages.

All of them were greatly accomplished, and there was not a single casualty in the whole army, and most of them were now hanging on their bodies with looted silver and property, and the speed of the march was so slow that they were dragged down by these booty, otherwise they would have gone south to occupy more areas.

Although there are only more than 200 people, it is by no means something that the pure people of Li can resist like Wangjiazhuang, and there are too many properties to carry, but they can't go fast, and in an instant, those who are left behind are quickly chased up by the Tartar soldiers, since ancient times on the battlefield, the battle between the two peoples is always full of blood, but this time it is different, because Huangtaiji strictly ordered to replenish the number of Aha for the Jurchen tribe.

That is, not to attack the city and plunder the land first, but to plunder the population, these people, once they arrive outside the pass, can reclaim the land, can provide production and service for the Jurchens, so try not to kill, do not kill, everything is mainly captive.

Therefore, the Mongol soldiers who arrived first shot a few with a burst of bows and arrows, and then screamed some strange words that made people's hearts chill, and surrounded them from the left and right with horses, apparently to wipe them out.

It's a pity that these people in Wangjiazhuang have been struggling to flee, and now they were caught up, and they suddenly fell into a desperate situation, but no one dared to resist, after all, people have knives in their hands!

When this group of Tartar soldiers was raging, they would never have imagined that in a jungle in the south-east of it, more than a thousand cavalry of the beggar army had been waiting for a long time! (To be continued.) )
