Chapter 466: Ninety-nine with a steel knife in hand
Chen Dexing is surrounded!
Just when Baturu and Wang Tiange and others had the idea of retreating, they were surrounded by an army of 54,000 under the personal command of the Mongol Khan Kublai Khan in the Liujiaji town, which was about 100 miles away from Baoding. With him were 14,000 Ming troops and more than 50,000 refugees.
At night, if you look down from the sky, you will find that on the plains around Liujia Market Town, there are countless sparks flickering densely, as if the stars in the sky suddenly fell to the ground. And at the heart of these sparks is the Liujia market town, which is also lit up by torches and bonfires!
If the Mongols at this time still had any overwhelming military superiority, it was two points, one was strong mobility -- the Mongolian cavalry was a configuration of one man with two horses or one man with three horses, and the riding skills of these cavalry were still first-class.
The second is barbarism! True, the barbarism of the Mongols was also a fighting power, and burning, killing and looting was sometimes the best way to obtain supplies and at the same time deplete the enemy's war potential.
Just tonight, under the night sky, within a hundred miles radius of Liujiaji Town, I don't know how many villages and fortresses were breached, killed and plundered, and then set on fire by the roaring Mongols-in villages that were actually breached by those fortresses and villages that belonged to the Great Yuan Kingdom not long ago!
"This Kublai Khan really did it!" Standing on a brick house built in the middle of Liujiaji Town, he looked at a burning village ten miles away with his arms and sighed.
"Xiaoxiong, it's a Mongolian again, what else can't be done?" Guo Kan is next to Chen Dexing. looks like he is watching a good show, as if it was not his compatriots who were burned and killed!
"Guo Qing. Listening to your words, it seems that you still appreciate this Kublai Khan? Chen Dexing asked half-jokingly.
"That's ...... If it weren't for the coming of King Ming. This world must be Kublai Khan's! ”
Guo Kan's analysis is not bad, isn't Kublai Khan the big boss in history? He smiled and said, "But when he meets you King Ming, he must still be blind in vain!" ”
"Oh? Guo Qing, what can you do? Chen Dexing asked rhetorically.
Guo Kan looked around, and saw that there were no idle people, so he said in a low voice: "King, those who do great things must not have the kindness of a woman!" There are more than 50,000 people here, and if you want to take them with you, it will be really difficult to leave. If the people are left behind. There are 14,000 elite escorts, where can the king go? The ministers had already fought the Mongols during the day, and they had no way to ...... the steel-armored soldiers."
"Cast out the people?" Chen Dexing sneered, shook his head and said, "The Lone King is a benevolent monarch, and he really has a bit of a woman's kindness, these people have followed all the way here?" How could the Lone King bear to hand them over to the Mongols? This is absolutely unacceptable! ”
"The king......" Guo Kan frowned, and said with a bitter face, "How can you go with the people?" King. Although the Mongols can't help the steel armor, they have a lot of people, and most of them still have heavenly thunder arrows in their hands, if they block them along the way. When will we be able to return to Yenching? ”
Chen Dexing waved his hand and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, the Lone King has his own way to leave with the people." ”
Guo Kan also wanted to persuade hard. But I heard the sound of stairs. I saw Chen Qianyi leading an old man in his sixties dressed as a scholar to come up. Guo Kan recognized the old man. His surname is Han and his name is Ansheng. The word Sogo is one of the ten heroes who retreated with Guo Kan, and he is a person from Zhaozhou on Zhending Road.
Chen Dexing also turned around at this time and looked at the person who came, with a kind smile on his face. Chen Qianyi pointed to Chen Dexing and said to the Han surnamed Haoqiang: "His Royal Highness King Ming is here." ”
When Han Ansheng heard this, his already excited face trembled a little, and then he knelt down in front of Chen Dexing and said loudly: "Long live the Heavenly Daoist True Ding Road Branch Altar Master Han Ansheng knocks to see King Ming, long live!" ”
There are also figures from the Heavenly Daoist Sect here? Guo Kan was stunned for a moment, although he took refuge in Chen Dexing, he still didn't believe in Tiandao or anything.
Chen Dexing said gently: "Get up and speak." ”
Han Ansheng stood up, stood respectfully with his hands down, and didn't dare to look at Chen Dexing, as if what was in front of him was really a heavenly immortal. He was one of the leaders of the Ming Sect in Hebei, and he made some money through preaching and preaching, and became a wealthy man, a man and a righteous man, and made friends with many powerful people.
In the case of Chen Dexing, the Ming King's growing power, the gods of the Mingjiao system naturally contacted the Mingdu General Altar - the General Altar of the Heavenly Taoist Sect was used by them as the General Altar of the Ming Sect! And the goddess Stick Ink Shadow Niang, who presides over the daily work of Mingjiao, will naturally not give up such a God-given opportunity, and will wantonly absorb the Mingjiao forces in various places, and the branch altar master of the Heavenly Daoist Sect has been sealed out for dozens of numbers, and this Zhaozhou Han Ansheng is one of them.
Chen Dexing smiled and asked, "Lord Hantan, how many sect members do you have in control now?" How many of them are strong? ”
Han Ansheng's face flashed with joy, and he said loudly: "Back to King Ming, his subordinates now have more than 20,000 sect members, how many people who followed us north this time burned incense and worshiped God...... Among them, there are no less than 3,000 strong, all of them are Yan Zhao men, all of them have martial arts, and the swords, guns, bows and arrows are ready-made, as long as King Ming's decree is given, they can make trouble immediately! ”
Troublesome? How does it sound like a peasant uprising? Guo Kan looked at Chen Dexing, who was confident, and suddenly realized. How did you forget the identity of the leader of the sect? This Mongol did not prohibit religion, and before the rise of Tiandaoism, any religion could be spread openly on Mongolian territory. Even the Ming Religion, which was banned in the Song Kingdom, can also spread generously in the Ming Dynasty, and there are quite a few believers, and Tiandao Sect is a variant of the Ming Religion......
"Good!" Chen Dexing praised it, and then said to Guo Kan. "Go and gather all the brothers in the church who can do great things!"
……
In the center of Liujiaji Town, inside a dilapidated brick mansion.
More than 300 people were waiting quietly in the courtyard in front of the hall. They are all strong men, most of them are in their forties, and most of them have good martial arts. On weekdays, in the Zhending Road place, they are all strong, some of them have also been soldiers in the Han army of the Shi family, some of them have opened a temple and half monks and half laymen to fool some ignorant and foolish people, and some people have a lot of land at home...... At this time, everyone was wearing a yellow battle jacket, a red scarf wrapped around their heads, and their eyes flashed, all of them wanted to do big things and seek wealth! And, of course, the flames of hatred!
Han Ansheng walked in, and everyone's eyes looked at his old figure and slowly walked to the steps of the hall, turning to face them. The old man's lips pursed, but he was speechless for a moment.
“…… You are not only my disciples of the Heavenly Taoist Sect, but also the sons and daughters of the Han family in Hebei! More than 40 years ago, Mongolia went south, and the Jin Kingdom fell, this was originally the cannibalism of the Hu people, what does it have to do with my Han people? But we have a sea of blood and hatred that was slaughtered and exterminated! Some of you have fathers, some mothers have died under the butcher's knives of the Mongols, and some of you have your whole family slaughtered, and you have survived by hiding in the pile of corpses...... We will never forget this scene! Your dead parents, as well as my Han An's dead parents, family members, wives and a pair of children, are all watching with their eyes open in the kingdom of light! Waiting! Wait for those of us who are alive to kill Hu'er and avenge this blood revenge! ”
Han Ansheng suddenly shouted and asked, "You guys, do you remember how our song is sung?" ”
"How don't you remember?"
Han Ansheng laughed three times, and suddenly sang generously: "Ninety-nine with a steel knife in hand, kill all Hu Er before stopping." I am a dignified man, what is a Tartar as a horse and a cow. The strong man drank the wine in the bowl and did not look back on the journey of a thousand miles. The golden drums roared in unison, and the yellow dragon swore endlessly......"
The people below listened to Han Ansheng's generous and sad song, and they all sang together with tears in their eyes. This war song of the Red Turban Army in history has long been sung among the people of the Northland. As Han Ansheng said, the Han people in the north and the Mongols have a hatred of slaughtering and exterminating their tribes. Except for a few Han marquis who took refuge in Mongolia very early, it is really very difficult to find a Han Chinese in the northern Han land who does not have a deep hatred for the Mongols. It's just that in the past, Mongolia was powerful, and there were Han marquis to help abuse, and the middle and lower class Han people could only dare to be angry but not speak out. Sometimes, in order to survive, you have to fight for the Mongols with a clear conscience.
Because of the teachings of the Ming Sect, the backbone of the sect had a strong tendency to oppose ethnic integration under the leadership of the Great Mongols - which is why decades later, a great uprising of the Red Turban Army broke out in the Northland, with the White Lotus as the backbone.
After a song, the courtyard fell silent again. Han Ansheng took a deep breath and suddenly shouted: "The steel knife is in front of you now, Hu'er is outside this Liujia market town, you, and the Ming King sent by Taiyi God to take us to kill Hu'er is in Liujia market town...... Do you dare to take a steel knife and follow King Ming to kill all the Hu'er outside the market town? ”
There was silence for a while, and everyone's breath became rapid. Revenge is to be avenged! There is no doubt that Mingjiao is a cult that encourages fighting! From the Ming Sect of the Song Dynasty to the White Lotus Sect of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, believers are full of will to fight. What to repay grievances with virtue, what to forget hatred, and what to accept against the grain, the cult Chinese Mingjiao/White Lotus cultists do not understand.
But those who can stand here are all a little bit of brains who know the importance of it, and they also have a heart for fame and fortune. The Tartar wants to be killed, and after the killing, he has to sit in the world with His Royal Highness King Ming, which is the real happy thing!
"Kill all the Hu'er, leave no old and young!" The people below responded in a loud and orderly voice, reflecting the chaotic cries of the refugees outside, which made them even more heroic.
Han Ansheng's body trembled slightly, he didn't know how many years he had waited for this day, he originally thought that he would not have a chance in his life, so he could only pass on his ideals to his children and grandchildren, so that they could accumulate strength from generation to generation, waiting for the opportunity, but he didn't expect that God would let him see the incarnation king in his lifetime.
The old tears on his face kept sliding down unstoppable. In the end, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Respectfully His Royal Highness King Ming!" (To be continued......)
