Most of the partial divisions led by Yuan Weiyi were soldiers and horses in Hanoi and neighboring areas.

To put it bluntly, it's the Osaka Army.

When Gen Weiyi was fourteen years old (in fact, he was only thirteen years old), the governor of Genji in Hanoi was assassinated.

There are various indications that the murderer is the second uncle of Yuan Weiyi. Emperor Shirakawa took the opportunity to intervene to let the thirteen-year-old Yuan Weiyi crusade against him, and the Emperor also sent other soldiers and horses to help.

Yuan Weiyi successfully overthrew the second uncle and took control of the power of Hanoi Genji, and from then on Hanoi Genji was loyal to Emperor Baihe.

A few years ago, the truth of the matter was revealed, and the murderer was actually his third uncle. and the grandson of the second uncle who died unjustly also killed his third uncle to take revenge.

At the age of thirteen, he controlled the power of the family and was appreciated and reused by the emperor, which made Yuan Weiyi develop an arrogant and arrogant character.

is even brutal and unkind, treating the heroes of the world as nothing, and even the local wealthy families are bullied at will.

This detachment of thousands of people plundered all the way from Bigo Province to Iwami Province. Before they could fight the Ming soldiers, they had already grabbed a lot of money, and the samurai even clamored to take the loot home.

The wealthy families in the southeast of Iwami Province originally planned to watch a play and let the Ming army and the emperor's army fight first.

Before the battle broke out, they suffered.

In addition to being angry, these wealthy clans joined Yuan Weiyi with their armies, and at the same time secretly reported to Zhu Xiaozhong. The local wealthy clan tried to borrow the hands of the Ming army to kill Yuan Weiyi, who killed a thousand knives first.

Xia Yuqing led three hundred soldiers from Shamen Island, all wearing medium-sized armor, and crossed the mountains and mountains to touch the source for righteousness.

The running distance is actually not far, even if you go around in the mountains, counting the winding mountain roads, the whole journey is only more than 200 miles.

The straight-line distance is actually only forty or fifty miles.

On the way, I met many fleeing people, mostly peasants in the valley area.

They were all frightened away by the name of righteousness, and helped the old and the young to hide in the mountains. They also ran away frantically when they encountered the Ming army, and later found that the Ming army did not chase and rob, so they were no longer afraid, and there were even people who were willing to be guides. Don't want any reward, just give two bags of grain.

These soldiers of Salmon Island are naturally not called civilized divisions.

They don't loot indiscriminately, they simply don't look down on that bit of wealth, and the peasants are all poor......

Night.

A newly recruited guide pointed ahead and said, "Over this mountain, this is our village." At noon, many samurai came to rob them, and they took all the grain and cattle, and they also robbed many of the women of the village. ”

Xia Yuqing said to the officers beside him: "Fourth, you take a few people and guides, go lightly without armor, and go to find out where the enemy army is camped." Go back quickly! ”

"Yes!"

About two hours later, the officer returned: "The enemy has crossed the village and is encamped in a mountain depression. There were quite a lot of people, and the depression couldn't be squeezed in, and the slopes and foothills were full of people. There was nothing decent about the camp, just some wooden sticks to keep out the beasts. ”

"Heavily guarded?" Xia Yuqing asked.

The officer laughed, "Only here and there are sentries everywhere that are also sleeping. ”

Xia Yuqing said: "Kill it immediately, be sure to arrive before dawn." ”

……

Although Yuan Weiyi is very famous, he has only fought a decent battle, that is, he united with the French emperor's army to kill his second uncle.

The rest of the time, he either worked as a guard for Emperor Shirakawa or as a manor security guard for his father-in-law. By the way, help Emperor Baihe to carry out forced demolition, and help the old man suppress the people.

The pillar samurai in his hands are all inherited from his adoptive father (uncle)!

Since he didn't have any decent feats in battle, and he hadn't commanded any big battles, Yuan Weiyi had to think of other ways to entrap those samurai.

Looting with the samurai naturally has the fastest effect.

Out of Gyeonggi, I grabbed it all the way, and my morale was like a rainbow. Even those peasants and soldiers were given a small amount of grain and were willing to sacrifice their lives for the source.

When night fell, the camp was still lively.

Those samurai and peasant soldiers were counting the spoils of the day, fantasizing about going to Iwami Castle to do another big job.

From time to time there was laughter, and it was the nobles and high-ranking samurai who were drinking and chatting around the campfire.

After getting drunk, they each went back to the camp to have their own maiden bed.

Their logistics have been "livestockized", all of which are looted livestock, and even ploughing cattle are used to carry grain and grass.

Yuan Weiyi also returned to his military tent, and there was a beautiful woman in that tent. This is not against the rules, and the army can carry guinu, that is, camp prostitutes.

The woman in front of her is not an ordinary noblewoman who was robbed, but a tribute from the wealthy family of Beihou Kingdom.

Because of his beautiful birth, Yuan Weiyi even planned to bring it back to the capital as a concubine.

Why do we say beauty?

First of all, there is a beautiful long hair that falls down to cover the knees. This is not something that a civilian woman can have, because it requires daily maintenance, and even washing her hair has to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac.

Secondly, the eyebrows are well trimmed. The eyebrows that have been shaved off, there is no green stubble in sight, and the two clumps of eyebrow peas are particularly beautiful.

Again, the teeth are also well stained. Although he is still young and has not been dyed for a long time, his teeth are already black and shiny, and his smile is particularly moving.

Finally, the facial features are correct. After smearing the lead powder, the whole face is fair and gorgeous, and with black teeth and silkworm eyebrows, it is simply stunning.

A full description of this woman, that is, with knee-length hair, a pale and bloodless face, only two black spots on her eyebrows, and a grin full of black teeth.

Don't think it's outrageous, none of the rules here can be done by civilians, and there is economic strength behind it.

Tossing for a while, Yuan Weiyi hugged the beauty and fell asleep.

Pillow Godandan?

Not to mention the armor, he didn't even have any clothes on, and he was tired enough from the primitive exercise.

I don't know how long I slept, and the shouts one after another woke Yuan Weiyi from his dream.

Yuan Weiyi sat up and shouted while getting dressed: "What's wrong?" ”

A samurai rushed over, panting and said, "Don...... The Tang people are here! “

Yuan Weiyi got dressed in a panic, and it was too late to put on his armor, so he hung up his knife and walked out with a gun.

Looking around, I saw that the mountains were up and down, and everywhere was ignited. Countless samurai and peasant soldiers were fleeing to the south, and it was impossible to figure out how many enemies had come.

The shouts of killing and cries got closer and closer, and Yuan Weiyi became more and more frightened, and he couldn't care about the beauties in the account, and he called a few cronies and samurai to run wildly.

Xia Yuqing had 300 armor soldiers in his hands, and Yuan Weiyi's soldiers and horses were as many as 6,000.

At this moment, the Ming soldiers shouted the Japanese they had learned temporarily, and shouted all the way to chase: "Kneel down and don't kill, kneel and don't kill......"

The peasant soldiers, who were already malnourished and many of them suffering from night blindness, fled for a while, and when they heard the shouts, they gave up their resistance and fell to their knees in patches.

Yuan Weiyi took a few warriors and fled over the mountains and mountains to Tianming, feeling that there were no pursuers behind him, so he sat down to rest.

A samurai said in horror: "Those Tang soldiers are all ghost warriors, and they must have the blood of the ghost clan, so they can fight in the dark and night between the mountains!" ”

Yuan Weiyi shook the knife and nodded: "It must be so." ”

They retreated to the nearest village to the south, and one after another routs returned.

There are not many walkable passages in the mountains, and scattered soldiers may encounter wild beasts. Therefore, after the defeated soldiers got rid of the pursuit, they all left the mountains and forests and walked along the mountain road, and naturally ran to join Yuan Weiyi.

For several days in a row, the defeated troops were gathered, and only more than 1,000 of the 6,000 soldiers and horses remained, which made Yuan Weiyi angry and frightened.

He did not dare to march again, so he chose to retreat to the territory of the wealthy clans and ordered the local wealthy clans to contribute military rations.

Xia Yuqing only captured less than 2,000 people, and the remaining Japanese samurai and peasant soldiers were actually very few killed in battle, and most of them fled into the mountains everywhere.

Gathering all the captives, Xia Yuqing said: "The samurai and peasants of Iwami Province, you can go home separately, and you will also be given rations to go home." ”

Immediately, dozens of people rushed out, and they were grateful to Xia Yuqing.

Compared with the source of the wanton looting, these captured Iwami soldiers all felt that the Ming General was too merciful!

Xia Yuqing said again: "All the samurai are here." ”

A group of samurai hurriedly stepped forward.

Xia Yuqing said with a smile: "Go back to Iwami Country Castle and write a letter to your family and ask them to take food or cloth to ransom people." ”

When the samurai heard that they could live, they were equally grateful to Dade.

The wealthy in the family will not make trouble, and they can be redeemed anyway if they are prisoners with peace of mind.

But there were also poor samurai, who sighed and sighed, not knowing what their fate would be in the future.

In fact, it is also quite promising, and the samurai who cannot be redeemed will be left behind as overseers to supervise the miners in mining Iwami silver mines. A few outstanding people will also be left in the Iwami Country Commons and serve as commons warriors of the Ming Overseas Legion.

At this time, there was no flood of samurai in Japan, and they all belonged to the available talents.

Three hundred Ming armor soldiers, with nearly two thousand captives in this way, swaggered back to the Omori Mountain area. This is where the Iwami Silver Mine is located, the northern valley is home to yeoman farmers, and the southern valley is the monk's territory.

Xia Yuqing selected the poor samurai captives in his family and took them with him to chat with the monks.

The monks who dared to resist were all arrested and mined.

The monk who surrendered was handed over to Xue Daoguang as an apprentice, and in the future, he would cultivate near Mount Damori. The temple of the monks was also changed to a Taoist temple in situ, and it soon became Xue Daoguang's dojo.

This move was shocking in Japan, and after the nearby wealthy families heard about it, they all said that Zhu Xiaozhong was the reincarnation of the heavenly demon.

When Xia Yuqing attacked the righteous division at night, Zhu Xiaozhong personally led 2,000 soldiers and horses towards the main force of Ping Zhongsheng.

Ping Zhongsheng was much more cautious, and the military discipline was better, and he did not expose too many flaws.

Zhu Xiaozhong planned to defeat him head-on, which was also more conducive to capturing prisoners and mining, and there were too many routs who could escape from the night battle.

"In the valley ahead, the Tang cavalry was found!"

"Go and investigate again, the whole army will camp and defend the palace, and occupy the mountains on both sides."

Taira Tadamori didn't know that the source was defeated, and it was not far from Iwami National Castle.

He planned to camp and confront the Ming army here, wait for Yuan Weiyi to lead his troops to kill from the east, and then block the Ming army in the valley and attack from front to back.
