In fact, there is no need for Deng She to emphasize that because of the wounded in the army, the marching speed of the troops was not fast. Fortunately, most of the heavy ordnance was damaged in the afternoon's battle, and they were considered to be lightly armed, and in the early morning of the next day, they had already left Dongmu Mountain far behind.

During this period, there has been no movement blocked by the Yuan army. In the faint morning light, feeling the coolness of the dawn, Deng Sheti's heart was lifted all night, and then he let go.

The Xu people behind the palace caught up with their horses and panted, and asked Deng She for instructions: "General, the attention of the Tartars should be on Dongmu Mountain, and it seems that they will not come to chase us; After only half a day of fierce battles, and a night of rapid marching, the brothers are almost unable to stand it, and there are many people left behind, do you want to take a break for a while? ”

The topography of Liaodong, east, west and north are surrounded by mountains, the west is the Great Xing'an Mountains, which stretches to the northeast, combines with the Small Xing'an Mountains in the north, and then turns to the southeast, hand in hand with the Changbai Mountains; Mountains and dense forests.

The place where Chen Hu's garrison was located was in the southeast direction, and if the two armies converged directly, they would need to pass through the Qianshan Mountain Range, the southwest branch of the Changbai Mountains, and the journey would be delayed. In order to save time, Deng She chose the Po Sa Inspection Department on the west bank of the Yalu River as the place to meet his teachers.

In this way, Deng She's Zhulu Station Chi set up along the southwest side of Mengyuan can be reached smoothly; And Chen Hu is also very convenient, along the Yalu River downstream.

The Po Sa Inspection Division was originally a government, and the later abolished government was a patrol inspection department, with a small population, and only tens of thousands in its heyday. A few years ago, the king of Goryeo captured Shuangcheng, crossed the Yalu River to the west, and broke through the three stations including the Po Sa Inspection Division. A few months earlier, Deng She had conquered Pyongyang, and Wen Huaguo, Zhao Guo, Qing Qianxing and other armies went north to recover them and return them to the rule of the Han Chinese.

As far as the southeast of Liaoning is concerned, the strategic position of the Po Sa Inspection Department is not low, it is 100 miles away from Gaizhou, west of southern Liaoning, east of Goryeo, for example, it is a hub of Goryeo and southern Liaoning. In peacetime, Yuan and Goryeo often traded with each other here; In times of war, it is also fully competent to play the role of outpost and transit station.

Therefore, after recovering this place, Deng She attached great importance to it, personally ordered a thousand trustworthy officers to guard it, and relocated many Han people, along with repairing the city wall and replenishing armaments, purely in accordance with the standards of military fortresses.

Deng She put up a pergola in his hand and looked at the endless rear army, and sure enough, as Xu Ren said, the morale was very high, but his physical strength was limited; Coupled with the fact that they haven't slept all night, almost everyone has bloodshot eyes and yawns. He nodded, agreed with Xu Ren's proposal, and said, "I haven't eaten yet, so I ordered the three armies to rest on the spot and bury the pot to cook." …… Well, two hours, two hours later, continue the march. ”

Xu Ren took the order and left, and his own officers and officers gave orders separately, and in a short time, except for the troops who were on guard, the exhausted soldiers immediately fell down the whole road. Some of them were so tired that they didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, so they dropped their weapons and fell asleep. For a while, there was a loud whirring sound.

Deng She frowned, a little dissatisfied, if he was attacked by the enemy at this time, wouldn't it be all over? He said, "What is it like to stagger? Tell the centurions to remind them that weapons should not be thrown around, and the system should not be confused. …… Notify more than 1,000 households to come to me for a military meeting. ”

He couldn't blame the soldier for being undisciplined, even if he jumped off the horse, he felt that his legs were fluttering, and he had been in the army for a long time, and his inner thighs were also rubbed by the saddle. As the commander of the first army, others can complain, but he must not. Deng Shemian was fine, and he didn't bother to check the wounds he had suffered on the battlefield yesterday, so he went to the color number battalion to comfort the wounded.

In the short night of marching, this was the third time he had visited the Lottery Battalion. There is a way to love soldiers like children, and others give you their lives, only serious military discipline is obviously not enough, and it also needs to win people's hearts.

In order not to affect morale and prevent the spread of epidemics, the color number battalion is particularly independent, and there is a separate zone between it and the normal battalion, and there are special personnel to stand guard on the periphery, so as to prevent idle people from passing through.

Deng She concentrated the only remaining vehicles in the army, and the seriously wounded were placed on them, and two or three hundred people tossed and moaned, and a strong smell of blood was blowing on their faces, attracting many flies and flying insects, buzzing and flying endlessly, crawling on their wounds and bodies in groups.

Seeing Deng She coming, some of them were sober and struggled to get up and salute, and more fell into a coma, and their chapped lips murmured something at some point. Deng She hurriedly took a few steps forward and stopped an injured cry that got up: "Don't move,...... the injured number was only thirty years old, and a leg was broken, "Trampled by a Tartar's horse?" Dunshe asked.

"Two horses, the loss of the villain's life, dodged the second one."

When trampled by horses, there are only two situations: either they will flee in battle; Or go forward. The wound of this wound was in the front, in addition to the broken leg, there was also a sword wound on the chest, Deng She glanced at it slightly, and immediately deduced the scene when he was injured.

It must have been the cavalry of the Yuan army rushing head-on, he desperately moved forward to block, the weapon used may be a spear, maybe a big axe, but the blocking failed, the leg was broken first, and then the cavalry of the Yuan army drove the horse over, and slashed on his chest with a short sword.

At that moment, Deng She asked the wounded man, and sure enough, his guess was not bad at all. Dare to meet the enemy with flesh and blood, and ride the enemy, you must be an old soldier and a brave person. Look at the wounded man's face, pure and simple; There are a lot of calluses on his hands: "Dare to ask my brother, before joining the army, was he born in agriculture?" ”

"Yes, General."

"Where's the army?"

"Yongping."

It turned out to be a descendant of the headquarters, and Deng She smiled: "In this way, you are not dead, your life is great!" The old man has a saying, if you don't die in a disaster, you will have a blessing. Good, well done! …… What is your name? ”

The wounded number was praised, and he was so excited that he subconsciously straightened his chest: "Iron Bull!" ”

Deng She nodded, straightened up, and looked around, but saw that there was blood everywhere on the car and on the ground, and there were dirty weapons and unloaded armor everywhere. The medics were sweating and running back and forth, and from time to time there were unconscious moans and unbearable screams of pain in the wounds.

Many people's eyes looked at him, in the thick blood, a gust of morning wind blew, and Deng She smelled the fragrance of the black earth, faint, mixed with blood, sweet and cold. He asked them, "Do you smell it?" ”

His question was so abrupt that no one could understand it, and everyone's eyes, including the wounded who had been suffering from pain, turned their eyes. Dunshe asked again, "Do you smell it?" ......," he closed his eyes and took a pleasant, deep breath, "how fragrant, how sweet." ”

The battalion quieted down, and Dunsher continued to breathe deeply, and after what seemed to be a long time, one of the wounded replied timidly and softly, "Smell, General." He hesitated, "It's the smell of sorghum stalks." ”

Someone retorted: "No, it's a wheat stalk." ”

Years of war have left many farmlands abandoned, and the location of their garrison, away from the far side of the avenue, has faintly green waves. To be honest, Deng She couldn't tell what it was, maybe it was the rice after the harvest, or it was the corn stalk after the harvest.

That's not where his focus is, though. He opened his eyes, slowly looked at everyone's faces, and said, "My father-in-law, seven months ago, died in the Battle of Fengzhou Breakout. I was not with him at that time, he was for me, for the sake of 800 brothers,...... After breaking it for us, he died under the sword of the Tartars. He was hit by a lot of arrows, and he liked to use a mace,...... But, I'm very incompetent, I can't take his body away, Ye Luo returns to the roots, I, as a righteous son, can't even do this. ”

Deng She smiled: "I didn't even get his mace back, it fell into the hands of the Tartars." Fortunately, my father-in-law was brave and good at fighting during his lifetime, and the Tartars who died under his mace were not a hundred, but eighty. Let the Tartars take it away as a trophy to remind them that Deng San's son, I, and Deng She are not dead!

"It's been a hundred years, and it's been a hundred years since the Tartars came to dominate the Central Plains. I am dignified and well-dressed, and it has been a hundred years since I was lost. See what they've done to us? Grab our land as pasture, rob our children as a drive, one first-class people, twenty households can have a kitchen knife! Even my Han'er and Nanren can't even have a pair of slingshots! In the temple, our Guan Erye doesn't even have a real knife, why? Tartars are not allowed! We are not allowed to raise horses, we are not allowed to ride horses, we are not allowed to hunt in the fields. The Mongols killed our Han people, and the compensation point was just to burn and bury the silver; If my Han Chinese kill the Mongols, what will happen to them? That's it, there are still people, who are actually Han Chinese, and they are afraid to lose a lot of silver! Is this my land of China, or the world of the Tatars?

"In order to avoid the insult of the Tartars, the daughter of the Han people would rather go to work as a prostitute, why? Because the prostitute does not have a master, he can avoid disgrace. How ridiculous, how ridiculous! Where is the majesty of my Han and Tang Dynasties? Once the iron horse of my Han people, one person can destroy the country! And now I can't even protect my own woman and my daughter, this is a great shame, when did I suffer such humiliation?

"As for those Han troops and new annexed armies who have forgotten their ancestors, recognized thieves as their fathers, and are willing to be Tartar eagle dogs?"

Dunsher raised his voice, he was angry, he looked insulted: "It's only war!" Only when they are ordered to slaughter our countrymen will they have the right to take their weapons, and when they have killed us and their countrymen, their weapons must be returned to the Tartars' treasury! What are they? What are we? What are those full of vermilions?

"The people who were great officials in the Tartar court, every time they went to the court, put their hands behind their backs, made a gesture of being bound, and exchanged them for glory and wealth with shamelessness and shamelessness, didn't they feel ashamed of their ancestors, and didn't they feel that they had lost the face of the saints? Today's Confucianism has become a beggar! didn't feel that Sven was sweeping the floor, but was triumphant. Yes, they are indeed well-read poetry and well-versed in the classics of the saints, but in my eyes, they are far inferior to you! The Wu people called them beggars, and the northerners called them cured chickens,...... Absolutely.

"Even so, from the imperial court to the prefectures and counties, how many Han people can be officials in charge? At most, Zo II. The elders are all Mongols and Semu. It has been a hundred years since I, the descendants of the billions of Han people, have succumbed to the hooves of the Tartar horses.

"If you change your name with a different surname, you will lose the country; Benevolence and righteousness are full and as for leading beasts to eat people, people will eat each other, which is called the death of the world. …… Those who defend the country are sought by their kings and ministers, and meat eaters; Those who protect the world are cheap, and they are responsible! The people of Bihu threaten me with death; I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of death! ”

His last sentence quoted from the text, although the soldiers did not understand it very well, but the general meaning was still clear. As the sun rose, Deng She stood between blood and weapons, and turned back to the beginning of the topic, he said: "When my father-in-law died, you all know that I was not by his side. Later, I heard one of my uncles say that before he died, he only said one sentence, and he said: This land is really his grandmother's incense. ”

He closed his eyes again, took a deep breath, and opened his arms: "Do you smell it?" This land that has nurtured us, nurtured us, our ancestors, and ancestors have survived and multiplied for thousands of years, is really fragrant. ”

He said, "Although my stepfather is dead, I am proud of him. I know that sooner or later I will die, and I only hope that I can die with a clear conscience. He has a lot of imagination, connecting the past and the present, in this land, the people who have suffered a lot, have been coming in the wind and rain, she has experienced a lot of difficulties, she has experienced a lot of choices, and now, it is one of the key and heavy pressure turning points.

He seemed to have found his purpose in life, he muttered, he remembered a poem, he said, "Then I died, and even the feathers rotted in the earth." Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land so much. ”

This land that was born and grew up in Si, this scorching root, for 5,000 years, for the Chinese nation, the people with lofty ideals who have gone forward and succeeded, his eyes are shining, he said: "They, you ,......" He borrowed a sentence from Fang Buzhen, "Who is called a public death, as if alive,...... O everyone who has fought with a sword, and died without remorse, you will be immortal.

"This land is ours, once we lost her, but in the future, forever, in the future, as long as they exist, as long as you exist, she will always be ours! The Tartar said, "Wherever the saber goes, it is pasture; We say that wherever there are Han people, it is China! ”

He was really emotional, and his words were a little confused, a thousand words, and he was choked for a while. The light of the morning sun illuminated everyone's face, and he whispered and whispered the poem, not for others to hear, but for himself, and he stooped down and took a handful of dirt, and put it to his nose, breathing the fragrance of the earth, and he read: "If I were a bird, I should also sing with a hoarse throat: this storm-struck land, this river of grief that forever rags with us, this angry wind that blows endlessly, and the incomparably gentle dawn that comes from the woods......

"—and then I died, and even my feathers rotted in the earth. Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land so much. ”

The battalion is very quiet, the soldiers don't have much culture, they don't have much concept of family and country, but their personal experience is the best education, they understand what Deng She means. Many of them had tears in their eyes at this time, and they struggled to reach out and take a handful of dirt from the ground, and to learn from Deng She, put it on their noses and smell it.

Strict rewards and punishments can make people die lightly, and teaching them the way can make people die righteously.

——

1. Drive the mouth.

It originally meant "to be captured and driven to others", that is, to be captured and forced into slavery during the war. The word "expellant" was first seen in the Jin Dynasty. In the process of the Mongols' extermination of gold, the phenomenon of plundering people as slaves was very serious. According to records, after the destruction of the Jin Dynasty in Wokotai, the income of the nobles and generals was about half of the remaining population of the original Jin ruling area. In the Mongol war against the Southern Song Dynasty, the exploitation of the people, although to a lesser extent, was still quite common. Until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were still records of individual expulsions.

This concept was not coined by the ethnic minorities in the north, but came directly from the so-called "driving people" of the Tang Dynasty.

The "drive" was mainly used for domestic service, and some people were engaged in agriculture, oystery and handicraft production. They had the lowest social status in the Yuan Dynasty and were the private property of their owners, and their children remained owned by their owners.

The law of the Yuan Dynasty stipulated: "All people 'drive away', with property", as long as they pass the legal procedures, they can buy and sell at will. If a "driving mouth" kills the owner, the other "driving mouths" will also be executed; And the master deliberately kills the innocent "expelling mouth", the rod is eighty-seven, and the killing due to drunkenness is reduced by one degree, if one "expelling mouth" is killed, as long as the whole family can be released, the crime can be exonerated.

The law stipulates that "expelling" shall not intermarry with a good citizen, but if there is an illegal and private marriage, then: if a beloved's daughter marries a "deportation" as his wife, the woman will be reduced to "expelling the mouth"; However, if the "expelled" woman marries a lover as a wife, the woman becomes a lover. This also reflects the feudal mentality of male supremacy. The law also stipulates that a person who kills a person in a brawl will die, but a good man who kills someone else to "drive away his mouth" is only 17 rods, which is completely aimed at untouchables such as "driving away".

2. Compensation point burns buried silver.

"The Mongols were sentenced to death by the Mongols for fighting and beating the Han to death by drunkenness, and all the silver was burned and buried. The Mongols cut down other slaves, and those who were willing to make peace listened. "The Han'er beat the Mongols to death", not only were they to be executed, but they were also to "cut off the property of the prisoners, and the rest of the people were levied to burn and bury silver."

3. I'd rather be a boat prostitute.

"The scourge of the northern soldiers, no one cares about the killing, and even binds the child to the high pole, and the one who shoots it gambles on sheep wine. After the chaos, more than 100,000 bones were examined, buried in the northwest of Taowu Zhoushu Bridge, and the tombstone was Wanzhong. Since the Ding Revolution (Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty), 20 families were compiled as the first ones, and the northern people (mainly the Mongols and Semu people) were the first masters. Clothes and food are only what they want, and boys and girls are only what they want. "Those who commit suicide don't know how many. …… After the Ding Revolution, there were armor owners all over the city and countryside, slaves and wives and daughters, and those who had aspirations were all self-judged. ”

In order to avoid being subjected to sexual immorality, many families of beautiful women have even made a plan to let their daughters act as "boat prostitutes" (singers on boats for entertainment and singing), "with boat prostitutes without a master, boat prostitutes will not be disgraced."

——This Mongolian "first night power" is not recorded in the official history, only the wild history.

4. Every time they go to court, they put their hands behind their backs and make a gesture of being tied.

"The southerners are in the court, whenever the ceremony is finished, they will hand over their hands on their backs and make a reverse connection, although the (southerners) nobles are also the same, in order to show their obedience." Outsiders who don't know the truth still think that the people of southern China like to stand with their hands behind their backs to show their "grace", but in fact they are forced to make reverse scissors and tie up to show obedience to the Mongols.

Locally, in the face of the provincial governor, "the same column (Han people, southerners) dare not look up, kneeling up and white like a small official".

5. One person can destroy the country.

Wang Xuance, a native of Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty, sent an envoy to India, and the new king of the throne, Luo Shunna, heard that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had entered, and sent 2,000 men and horses to ambush them halfway, except for Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren, all the horsemen were killed, and Wang Xuance was captured and detained. Later, Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren found an opportunity to escape and vowed to exterminate India, with the shame of the Snow Messenger being killed!

The two of them rode north, borrowed 7,000 cavalry from Nepal, summoned the major Tang vassal states in the vicinity, and sent 1,200 elite cavalry from Songtsen Gampo in Tibet, with a total of nearly 10,000 men and horses. He personally served as the commander-in-chief, with Jiang Shiren as the vanguard, in a foreign land, with foreign soldiers, against the elephant army (once defeated tens of thousands of war elephants in Tianzhu in a battle), repeatedly won more with less, pulled out the strong camp, Kejian City, invincible, several battles and destroyed the north, Central India.

Due to the aid of the East Indies to Aroshuna, Wang Xuance was ready to take advantage of the situation to destroy the East Indies again. The East Indian king corpse Gumo was frightened, and he hurriedly sent ten thousand heads of cattle and horses, bows and knives and a number of treasures, apologized to the Tang Division, and expressed his submission to the Tang Empire.

6, today's Confucianism has become a beggar.

"The comical hero, who takes Confucianism as the play, said: I am a great yuan system, there are ten ranks, one official and two officials, the first one, and the most expensive. Those who are noble are said to be beneficial to the country. Seven craftsmen and eight prostitutes, nine Confucianism and ten beggars, and cheap ones. Those who are cheap are said to be useless to the country. Shameful! Those who are below the prostitutes, above the beggars, and the Confucians of today. The so-called beggars, the Wu people are still cheap. ”

7. The northerners call them cured chickens.

"Therefore, in the system of one generation, there are no Han people and southerners who are officials, and those who can do it are only the humble rank of the state and county, and the Daru Huachi of the state and county are also Mongolian and Semu people. There is only one cover and no one. Later, there were two ways to get merit, and the rich often used this to make progress. At the beginning of the order, it was still with it, and those who asked for it later would never be with the southerners. In the capital of the seekers, the northerners are regarded as preserved chickens, and they are in line with each other. Gela chicken is also a thing for the north people from the south. Soyun. ”

8. The elders are all Mongolians and Semu.

In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan issued an edict: "The Mongols are used as the Daru Huachi, the Han people are the governors, and the Hui people are the same knowledge, and they will always be customized." In addition, the imperial historian "does not give a national surname", and the incorruptible department must also choose the Mongols as the envoy, "or if it is missing, the descendants of the Semu Shichen will be it, and then the Semu and the Han people will be involved." ”

In the Yuan Dynasty, officials were mainly based on their origins, that is, their "roots", rather than their achievements. The southerners are "going to shoot every year, to the old Juru crown". Mongolian, Semugen's children are "not literate, twenty are high-ranking officials".

There was no imperial examination in the early stage, and it was restored in the middle period, and only 16 subjects were opened until the death of the Yuan Dynasty, with more than 70 people in each subject, and the quota distribution was also biased in favor of the Mongols and Semu people, and the southerners accounted for only half of them. From this figure, it can be seen that in the Yuan Dynasty, there were at most five or six hundred Han scholars who could embark on the road of advancement, and they were subordinated for life, which was completely the embellishment and decoration of the rule of the Great Yuan.

In the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, there were 22,490 officials, 30.12% of whom were Mongols and Semu, and 69.88% were Han and Nan. Comparing the proportion of ethnic population, it can be seen that there is a huge disparity, and most of the positions of Han people and Nanren are minor officials in prefectures and counties, and the so-called herdsmen officials are the last resort of the Yuan Dynasty, because many Mongolians and Semu people do not understand the Chinese language and cannot be managed.

Meng Yuan ruled the upper echelons and basically did not understand Chinese. As for the high-ranking officials, they are mercenary, and they are multi-colored, so they naturally do not care much about the things between the lines. If it is a little better, sign it with a seal. Nowadays, the Mongolian color eyes are officials, and most of them cannot hold a pen and draw a charge, such as ivory or wood, carved and printed. If the prime minister is close to the auxiliary official to the first grade, he will use the jade book to rhyme the words, and he will not dare to use it unless he is specially given.

9, the name of the different surname is changed, which is called the death of the country; Benevolence and righteousness are full and as for leading beasts to eat people, people will eat each other, which is called the death of the world.

From Gu Yanwu's "Daily Knowledge: The Beginning".

10. Strict rewards and punishments can make people die lightly, and teaching them can make people die righteously.

"In all ways of war, the Covenant is to die lightly; The covenant is dead. ”

"Dao" leads to "guidance", and "Zheng" leads to "politics". The meaning of the original text is: the more concise and concise the teaching of the usual methods of warfare, the more people are not afraid of death, although death does not violate the government order.
