The rebels' intelligence was all squeezed out, and the stingy Zhu Youcheng didn't want to waste food to feed the rebels, nor did he want to waste manpower to take care of the prisoners, so he agreed to the request made by the Yiren youth. ↖ Top ↖ Story ↖ ↖,

The three captives, who did not understand Chinese, saw a group of young men dressed in Hanfu approaching, and thought they had been placed in a prisoner camp. When they were caught among the Yi people, they realized that something was wrong, and they begged and kowtowed, but it was already too late. The people, whose homes had been ruined by their scourge, rushed forward, and without using knives or guns, they directly bit the three captives to death with their teeth. When the people dispersed, only a pool of blood and three inhumanoid wreckage were left at the scene. The faces of the people were full of grief and indignation, and there was a hint of relief that they had taken revenge.

Zhu Youcheng didn't go out, he didn't like bloody revenge very much, but in such a situation, he couldn't help it. Because if the Ming does not show its fangs for bloody revenge, the enemy will gain an inch.

He consulted with the generals in the tent on how to deal with the approaching army of 20,000. This time, the Jinyi Guard only dispatched 5,000 elite soldiers, and also allocated 500 people to guard the camp tent to protect the medical personnel and strategic materials without combat effectiveness, and the troops were stretched.

Zhu Youcheng said: "The enemy's vanguard and the main force are 20 miles apart, that is, there are still about two hours, and we will encounter a force of 20,000 people. This is our first battle since we entered Guizhou, so we must not only win, but also win beautifully. Tell me how to fight this battle. ”

The generals frowned, if the weather was fine and the rifled firearms could be used, they were not afraid of many enemies. During the battle of Juehua Island, 5,000 firecrackers blocked the impact of 40,000 Jiannu cavalry. But now it's raining lightly, and the guns can't be used. Five thousand against twenty thousand, the generals were a little bottomless.

Chen Guoqi said: "My lord, guard the combat effectiveness of the army with brocade clothes. It is not a problem to defeat an enemy four times as large as oneself. But to win the beauty, it is necessary to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry. ”

"Yes, my lord, the cavalry we brought with us is not as good as the cavalry of Jiannu. But after all, it was a cavalry man. If you dismount and fight on foot, it will be a bit wasteful. Wu Huping participated in the pursuit of Jiannu and also had a little experience in cavalry warfare.

Feng Shuangping said: "Of course, the cavalry is infinitely powerful, let alone fighting, even if it is trampled on a horse, it can trample a lot of people to death." It's just that this area is all mountainous, and it is difficult for horses to walk, which is not conducive to cavalry attack. ”

Yu Liang said: "Forty miles back is a plain, so it is better for us to retreat temporarily." Wait until the plains to fight them again? ”

"My lord, you can't withdraw. There are more than 300 people here, and as soon as you withdraw, they will be killed. "After the young man finished dealing with the prisoners, he came back to give orders. They heard Yu Liang's mention yì and shouted.

Zhu Youcheng waved his hand, signaling that the young man was not impatient. He said: "Our main purpose this time is to rescue King Xin, who is besieged in Guiyang, and the so-called rescue soldiers are like fighting fires. If we arrive a day late, the king will be in more danger. Forty miles in a row. We're going to have to delay for at least two days, so if we can't go back, we won't go back. ”

A clever young man asked Jiang Ting why he wanted to withdraw from the army. Jiang Ting whispered to him about the conversation just now. He thought for a while and said loudly: "Lord Zhu, there is no need to retreat. Climb over the hill ahead. Below is a very large plain, where the cavalry should be useful. ”

Other Yiren youths also echoed it, and made the shape of the plain in front of the mountain clear and the big novel. Zhu Youcheng listened carefully and found that they spoke in a tight manner, not like they were made up temporarily. Daxi said: "This is very good, Chen Guoqi, you take a thousand cavalry as the vanguard, go to reconnoiter the terrain first, and the main force will arrive later." ”

Chen Guoqi gave a military salute and was ordered to go out.

Zhu Youcheng asked, "What's your name?" ”

The young man replied, "Villain, no, my subordinates are all over the world. ”

"...... A, forget it, the name of the Yiren is too difficult to remember, or I'll give you a Chinese name?" Zhu Youcheng asked a little hesitantly. The name represents the inheritance of blood, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will never change their names and surnames until they have no choice. There is a good saying, a head can be broken, blood can be shed, and a name cannot be moved.

Who knew that Jia was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed: "Lord Xie Zhu gives the name!" ”

The other Yiren youths also knelt down and pleaded in unison: "Please give your name to Lord Zhu!" ”

Zhu Youcheng was a little strange why these Yiren youths liked Han names so much. He didn't know that the Yi people admired the Han culture, often spoke Han dialect and wore Han clothes, and they originally liked to take Han names, but Master Tusi monopolized the power to take names, stipulating that only his cronies could use Han surnames and names. If Zhu Youcheng can give them names, what a glorious thing it is, they can glorify their ancestors, can they not be excited?

Zhu Youcheng originally mentioned yì casually, but he didn't expect that one stone would stir up a thousand waves, which caused a strong reaction from the young people of Yiren. However, the deep sinicization of the Yi clan and the integration of them into the Ming Dynasty was originally an idea of Zhu Youcheng. Taking the name of the Han is a method of sinicizing the Yi people, since the Yi people are not opposed, then push the boat down the river.

Zhu Youcheng waved his hand boldly and said, "Okay, give all the names." Come on, take a copy of "Hundred Family Names". ”

"Hundred Family Names" is a literacy enlightenment textbook, hundreds of households have in their hands, Jin Yiwei stipulates that in their free time, hundreds of households must teach soldiers cultural knowledge, "Hundred Family Names" has become a must-have book for hundreds of households.

The guards went down, and after a while, they brought a copy of "Hundred Family Names".

The owner of this book must have loved to learn in normal times, because the book was already in tatters. Zhu Youcheng picked up the brush and erased two surnames, one "Zhu" and one "country".

The reason for erasing "Zhu" is self-evident, when today's surname is Zhu, Zhu is the national surname. If you don't make an inch, but want a national surname, how can it be so cheap. And the surname "Guo" is his original surname, and it is also the supreme surname in his heart, not a cronie among his cronies, and he will not give this surname casually.

By the way, when he first came to Daming, he thought that the boy's surname was "Guo" and the girl's surname was "Party", which was the willfulness of the director of the orphanage, and he created two surnames outside the door.

Zhu Youcheng said: "The matter of giving the surname and the name, the official agreed. However, the name of the Han Chinese was taken. It will be with you for a lifetime and cannot be changed. Therefore, the official will not assign you a surname, so as not to displease you. The surnames of the people of the Ming Dynasty are all from this book "Hundred Family Names", and you are free to choose the surname you like on it, and then hand it over to thousands of households. She'll put your name on the roster of warriors, and then that name will be yours. You can use your surname all the time, just like the Han people, to prove the inheritance of your bloodline. ”

The young man of Yiren happily went to find Keqingqing, and Zhu Youcheng led Wu Huping, Jiang Ting, Chu Liang, Feng Dingbang and other generals, with the main cavalry, to the hills behind.

He was not worried about encountering an ambush, and he had already asked Chen Guoqi to explore the way just now, if the situation was not right. Chen Guoqi will definitely come back to report the news. And so far, there has been no report, which means that there is no problem ahead.

As for those young people, he deliberately stayed in the camp. It's not that they don't trust them, but now it's a cavalry battle, and those forty or fifty Yiren youths have never practiced horsemanship, and if they participate in the battle, they will only drag the Jinyi guards back. Besides, these Yiren youths are still an example deliberately set by Zhu Youcheng. Proof belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and it is easy to say anything. And stubbornly resisting to the end, there is only a dead end. There are no eyes on the battlefield, if a few die, where will they find the people who take the initiative to take refuge in the future?

The mountain roads in Guizhou are really difficult to walk, and the uphill section of the road is only a sheep intestine trail, and the slope is also very steep. I can't go up on horseback at all, so I can only get off the horse and lead it. When the horse saw such a steep road, he was so frightened that his hooves trembled, and he did not dare to move, and the soldiers could only drag the horse away. Fortunately, Zhu Youcheng's yellow fat horse, Rhubarb, has a lot of guts. Zhu Youcheng didn't work too hard. Rhubarb walked to the mountain, looked back at the horses that were still trembling halfway up the mountain, and actually stood up and let out a few long neighs, as if to laugh at the horses who did not dare to go up the mountain.

Zhu Youcheng was condescending, observing the terrain below.

As the young man said, halfway up the mountain is a gentle slope, followed by a plain. Halfway up the mountain to the end of the plain, it has been cultivated and seems to have been farmland in the past. However, because of the rebellion of Lu'an, the people fled or died, and the fields were left unmanaged, and they became wasteland. Sure enough, it was a good place for cavalry to attack.

When he was checking the terrain, he suddenly heard a sound of "sighing" from the woods next to him, and couldn't help but clench the steel gun and shouted: "Who is it?" ”

A simple face poked out of the woods and said, "My lord, I am A...... No, the subordinate is Gu Long. We've got a name, now we're here to help. Fortunately, we were used to walking the mountain roads, so we were able to catch up with the adults. ”

Gu Long is probably the Chinese name that Jia Ri Erdu gave himself.

Zhu Youcheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did you choose this name?" ”

"The ancient, Yi and Han people are all ancient peoples, so I took Gu as my surname, and the dragon is an auspicious beast, so I named it Gulong."

"Okay," Zhu You said sincerely, "I admit that Gu Daxia's name is very ordinary, which can be regarded as a coincidence through time and space." ”

Another Yiren young man squeezed out and said, "My lord, my lord, I'm Jin Yong!" ”

Ah, just came out of an ancient dragon, and ran out of a Jin Yong, hey, wouldn't you two also travel from the afterlife?

"How did you come up with that name?"

"Gold is very valuable, and everyone likes it, so I took Jin as my surname. And we Yi people often say that Ping Ping is often easy to live a hundred years, so I remembered the name Jinping at the beginning, but when I read it, it became a golden bottle, which was too ugly. Thanks to the thousands of households, she helped me change to Jin Yong. ”

Zhu Youcheng felt a little headache, rubbed his temples, and asked, "Should there be Liang Yusheng and Wen Ruian?" ”

"My lord, my name is Liang Yusheng!"

"My name, my name is Wen Ruian!"

"There really is. Tell me, why did you choose that name? ”

"My father used to be a Taoist priest, and his dream is to become an immortal, so of course my name is Liang Yusheng."

"The word Rui means auspicious, and the word An means peace, auspicious and peaceful, so my name is Wen Ruian."

Gu Long said with admiration: "My lord really has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and before we have signed up, my lord guessed the names of the four of us, which is really amazing." ”

Gu Long, Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, Wen Rui'an, the names of the four great knights have appeared, and it seems that there will be a lot of interesting things in the implementation of Han names among the Yi people this time. (To be continued......)
