Chapter 762: He is a sheep and I am a wolf
readx;
There are also many Han people in the city of Guihua, although they are all ordinary people engaged in industry and commerce, but there are also people with strong blood and strength, and they are also resisting the brutality of the Tartar cavalry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the Naturalization City, weapons such as swords, bows and crossbows are not strictly prohibited like the Ming Dynasty, the Chamber of Commerce travels between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland, and also has its own guards.
But the people are the people, and the guards are just some brave civilians, how can they be able to defeat the elite soldiers of the Tartars, they will not be opponents at all.
Occasionally, the resistance was effective, and the surrounding Han people gathered together and gradually formed a scale, but the cavalry in the city would immediately pounce and completely wipe out the resistance that had just formed.
At first, the soldiers were just smashing and venting their anger, then they turned into looting, then into burning and killing, and the whole place where the Han people lived in the Naturalized City was like hell and miserable.
But the palace of the king of Altan Khan and the places where the nobles lived were very clean, and there were soldiers of their own guards waiting there, and occasionally a dazed Tartar cavalry rushed over, and they were immediately driven away, and if they still did not know what to do, they would also be killed on the spot.
On weekdays, the Han people who had faces in front of the Tatar nobles and even in front of the monk Guleng Khan gathered at the side of the palace and knelt outside to plead, but the attitude of the monk Guleng Khan, who was quite approachable on weekdays and treated the Mongols and Han people equally, was extremely cold.
About a year ago, a middle-aged merchant came to Guihua City, who was a Han Chinese, and he was quite embarrassed when he came, but he was very favored by the monk Guleng Khan and the prince Pullik, this middle-aged Han man is the same as the Mongolian officials on weekdays, and at this time, the property and family members of each family are being damaged, so I have to ask this person to help talk about it.
This is called Mr. Lin is really effective, promised the benefit of 10,000 taels of silver, this Mr. Lin really said that the prince pulled Rick, the battle outside the city was not smooth, Pull Rick returned to the city to arrange the city defense matters, has not had time to receive guests, this Mr. Lin said, Pull Rick hurried to the palace.
When the prince Pullik walked into the palace, he saw the palace maids carrying several corpses outward, trembling and afraid to speak, they were the slaves of the Great Khan, and when the Great Khan was in a bad mood, it was common to kill them.
After seeing it, Pullik was even more depressed, "When I walked into the palace, I saw a mess on the precious carpet of the Western Regions, with blood stains and all kinds of spilled stains, the palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling aside, and the monk Guleng was sitting on the throne, looking at the sky with blank eyes.
"Father Khan, there is already a lot of trouble in the city" Let's send troops to suppress it!! ”
Tu Lik endured it, but still bowed down and hugged his fists and said, the situation has not collapsed, but as the backbone of everyone, the monk Du Guleng has the appearance of collapse, "The city is so indulgent soldiers, it is a great destruction to the morale of the people, and it is necessary to defend the city at dawn, so it is not a complete abandonment."
"Why bounce?"
"Father Khan, didn't my grandfather say that looting and revelry can only be carried out after a big victory, otherwise it will bring defeat" The warriors are unscrupulous in the city, what strength will there be to fight tomorrow, the Ming army is outside the city, we still have to defend the city!! ”
Hearing Seng Gedu Guleng's somewhat indifferent answer, Tuo Lik's temper was also a little uncontrollable" The voice couldn't help but rise, and Seng Gedu Gulen threw the wine jug in his hand to the ground, and said with a smile: "If your grandfather was here, he would definitely not let the Ming people call, and there would not be such a miserable situation, right?" ”
Although the monk was laughing, he didn't dare to answer" instead knelt on the ground and said: "Father Khan, this defeat outside the city is due to the command of the sons" The sons are willing to accept the punishment, but there is still a battle to defend the city to be fought "The soldiers must not relax......"
"It's none of your business, the Ming army is indeed different from usual this time, but don't worry, the food of the Ming army can't support it for a few days, this city is also a strong city on the side of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to fight, it is impossible to do it in a few months, and when they run out of food and grass, they will withdraw by themselves, and they can even pursue it when the time comes, that is the time to win, "......"
The monk who said these words, Gu Leng Khan, slowly sat up straight, and was stunned for a moment, now his father did not collapse as he thought, and he had a clear understanding, he hurriedly said again: "Father Khan, the prosperity of this city is inseparable from those Han people, don't we still plan to make them into foot soldiers, let them also fight on horseback, if this is the case tonight, it will inevitably be centrifuged......"
"Confused! *……”
Monk Ge Gulen shouted angrily, grabbed a silver cup in his hand and smashed it, opened his mouth and shouted angrily, and then gasped and said: "Today's big defeat outside, many people in the city have been unstable, they never feel that they are people from the Khanate, and the soldiers under their command are soldiers of the Khanate, and the casualties are so heavy, I don't know how many people want to escape." Maybe someone will hook up with the Ming army and want to escape out of the city, so how to defend the city. Without this Tumochuan, without this naturalized city, what is the Ministry of Naturalization, the Han people are the same as sheep, rob and rob, what is wrong with using their goods, gold and silver to appease our warriors, this time, as long as the naturalization city is there, the Han people will still come here to do business, and the warriors can go to the Ming Kingdom to rob more serfs! *……”
Pulling Lik was shocked, bowed there, but did not speak, the monk Guleng Khan hurriedly finished saying this, sighed, and said: "Outside is the army of the Han people, these merchants in the city originally think that they have money but no status, today's victory or defeat, they may have a change in their hearts, it is good to teach them a lesson at night, let these Ming dogs not be ready to move." ”
"Father Khan is wise, and his son knows!"
These words convinced Pullik, and the monk Duguleng Khan waved his hand tiredly and opened. said: "Go and arrange the city defense, be more generous to the people of our tribe, and the people who defend the city will catch the Han people, and after this time, the remedy is too late, don't worry, that is, in these two days, the food is stored in the city, and the livestock are gradually dispersed, and the Ming army will disperse when the grain and grass are exhausted, and then it will be a turning point!" ”
The prince bowed down again and said, "The son will go down and be busy, Father Khan is the backbone of the city, or drink less wine."
Monk Duguleng Khan collapsed on his seat again, and said weakly: "Shame, shame, you can forget ...... after drinking, wait for the night you send troops to start pressing, after half a night, they are enough." ”
This is the result of the conversation between the monk Guleng Khan and the prince of Pullik, for the Han merchants who have made up the benefits, this is the explanation, the suffering will continue for a few hours, but a deadline is always given, and several important big businessmen have also arranged for guards to take care of them, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.
The palace of the Khan is quiet and safe, but the noise and crying in the city come in from time to time, the Han merchants who came to beg for pleading are all discouraged, and they want to cry without tears, they have always despised the wealthy merchants in the Ming Dynasty, thinking that they can't stand up in front of the officials, and they are not as good as dogs, but they are treated by the Great Khan in the city of naturalization, as if they are nobles, but today, they understand that those are all illusions on weekdays, and they are really not as good as dogs.
In the middle of the night, the cavalry team directly under Pullik began to go to the streets to suppress, in fact, there was no effort, the generals at all levels indulged their men to rob the Han people in the city, reaped enough benefits, and the grievances calmed down, and they also knew that there would be a battle tomorrow, so they themselves sent people to circle their subordinates back to the camp, and the cavalry team sent by Pullik did not encounter much resistance, and some of them were dizzy, and a few whips were drawn back.
The second half of the night in Naturalization City was finally quiet, and the guards at the head of Naturalization City endured the cold wind and stared at the camp of the Ming army.
The same was true of the large camp of the Ming army, where the mounted rangers who had been placed outside the camp had the most relaxing night, and the activity of the Tartar scouts on horseback was greatly reduced, and no one wanted to get close enough to snoop.
I have seen everything that should be seen, there are friends in the big camp, and it can be seen clearly on the head of Guihua City, and the strength of the Ming army has also been judged through the battle, and there is no need to do unnecessary spying.
All the soldiers of the Ming army were lying in their clothes, with their weapons at hand, ready to assemble and fight at any time, but the night was quite quiet.
After lighting the bonfire on the ground, it can keep warm for a long time, the soldiers pad two felts and a bear skin, Wang Tong slept very comfortably this night, opened his eyes in the morning and woke up for a while, and only began to blow the bed horn outside the camp tent, which was originally a drum, Wang Tong changed it to suona according to his hobby.
"Great commander, the gates of the Tartar city are closed!!"
This is Wang Tong's order last night, the first military situation to report to himself at dawn is this, hearing the report of the soldiers outside the camp, Wang Tong rubbed his face with his hands, and smiled happily.
Washed briefly, dressed and walked out of the camp tent, and prepared a meal in another tent, which was nothing more than pancakes and mutton soup, and the supervising army Cai Nan, deputy general Yang Jin and other generals all came over, in fact, it was also the day's deliberations.
Everyone sat down, Wang Tong first spoke: "Everyone, the situation is going to the best side, the Tartars rioted in the city in the middle of the night last night, and today the city gate is closed, it seems that they are going to shrink inside to defend the city!" ”
Attacking the fortified city, it is a great test for the besieging side, the book of war says that there is ten times the advantage of the defending force to besiege the city, and the current situation is for the Ming army, the Tartar army is the best to come out of the field, but the other party is also doing the rules, and there is no stupid one to fight.
"The whole army has breakfast, and we are heading towards Naturalization City!!"
Wang Tong said proudly!
