Chapter 3: A Man-Made Massacre
The crowd enters the memorial.
I saw the black plaque of "Shangliao Battle Memorial Hall", hanging high in the middle of the tent.
A memorial hall covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters seems to be telling people in the form of blood and tears that two years ago, the outrageous, creepy, and dehumanizing battles......
I saw the Shangliao area in the northern part of the territory, with a radius of less than 100 miles.
It can be described as ravines and mountains.
At this time, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
On both sides of the attack and defense, millions of soldiers are wielding weapons here, either you die or I live.
To the left, you can see that a large group of cavalry who had just broken into the valley was hit by a sudden piece of rolling wood and thunder stones.
Circumambulating this valley, thousands of soldiers were facing the arrows from three sides with their flesh and blood, and poured one after another;
Further back,
The soldiers who were besieged in the fire bull array, some of them carried fire snakes on their backs, their faces were hideous, and some of them were hoarse and fled in all directions;
Seeing that most of the soldiers who strayed into the enemy's trap were pierced by sharp blades, which was terrifying;
As far as the eye can see,
The blood-stained river was carrying corpses and broken sword flags one after another, drifting downstream, drifting through deep canyons one after another;
Also, the small detachment that was chased and killed by the enemy was so embarrassed that they seemed to be vulnerable, and when they saw that the general trend was gone, they had to unarm themselves, surrender on their knees, and kneel naked.
When the smoke cleared, the smoky mountains and fields soon regained their tranquility.
......
The oppressive visit continues.
I noticed that the general was explaining to everyone with tears in his eyes all the time, and the group listened patiently, silently, with solemn faces.
However, the tall and big-bellied Lord Luan, who was surrounded in the middle, just walked straight forward, seemingly absent-minded.
Although this man had a wooden expression, he kept wiping his wide fat forehead with his sleeve, and he wiped it as he walked.
This person should be overly nervous, be a thief, and be ashamed of the thousands of soldiers who died in front of him.
The golden lock whispered in my ear,
He knew very well in his heart that he was primarily responsible for the fiasco of this battle. It is said that if the second prince hadn't supported him, his head would have moved a long time ago! ”
At this time, the general did not notice the change in Luan's mood, and was still introducing it with emotion, and he was reluctant to tell every patriotic soldier about this national shame and this lesson of blood and tears.
In this way, the group ended the visit in a state of anger and depression.
I also noticed on the sidelines that it wasn't until I walked out of the memorial that the adult's big belly sank down and I breathed a sigh of relief.
The entourage was in a gloomy mood, returned the same way, entered the general's tent, and sat down as the guest of honor.
Golden Lock has experience in reception, while everyone has not yet come out of the depressed emotions.
He had already begun to shout to the men, and brought the steaming jars to the tables of the guests, and then quietly bowed and withdrew.
The people in the big tent slowly calmed down their emotions and waited for the general to give a toast.
At this time, there was a person in the big tent, who deliberately paused his throat and began to speak in front of the general.
"Alas, alas, cultivating to become a general, and slowly, slowly, I have something to say!"
The person who spoke, the voice was very high-pitched, and it was extremely sharp.
I can imagine what this man looks like just by listening to the voice.
Medium-sized, with a long face, fanned ears, and a two-pronged mustache.
Because at the time of the visit, the man was right behind the general.
The reason I'm interested in him is that he's a very good person to talk to.
Whenever the general introduced the reason why the Yan army was surrounded on three sides, this person always deliberately diverted the general's attention and kept interjecting.
It seems that it is intended to make everyone ignore their Lord Luan's guilt.
But everyone knew that this Lord Luan was guilty, but let him visit the memorial hall as Lord Qincha, which was a joke, and no one pierced this layer of window paper.
Since the general's stove room is adjacent to the Chinese military tent, the movement inside, Jin Suo and I can hear it clearly.
I only heard the accompanying adult say again:
"May I ask General Xiu, you all take a look, what is the purpose of you making this, and this?"
What does this mean? The tone of the other party's speech is obviously criticism and accusation.
But in the big tent, there should be nothing else except the steaming chickens, ducks and fish on the table.
Then he said,
"The general just showed us your memorial, and I think it's pretty good. But now that you're doing this, isn't it obvious that I'm going to do it with Lord Luan, don't you even understand this bit of common sense? Yes? ”
At this time, I heard someone inside, someone answered, it was the general, and he replied unhurriedly,
"Forgive your subordinates for being stupid, please advise!"
It seems that the other party has sensed the general's attitude towards them and deliberately increased the volume.
"Okay, General Xiu, since you don't understand, I'll tell you straight! I have to say that you and our Lord Luan are indeed not the same level of people. Although the two of you are officials in the same dynasty, the gap between you and your behavior is too big! ”
The general asked, with some emotion,
"How so? Adult"
"Humph! Needless to say! We Lord Luan do things, it is the same as what we say and what we do! Lord Luan is always thinking about the king of the Great Yan Kingdom, and acts according to the king's intentions everywhere. But you, I think it's the opposite. I don't think it's a smart move for the king to appoint you to command a thousand armies here, but on the contrary, I'm starting to worry about the king from now on! ”
As soon as the long-faced adult's voice fell, the general replied,
"The subordinates are guilty, please make it clear!"
The atmosphere inside the tent was so tense.
I can feel it in the stove room. At this time, the general's calm tone was a little weak, and his confidence was obviously insufficient.
Jin Suo and I both held our breath and sweated for the general on the other side of the tent.
The other guys also hid quietly in the corner and did not dare to make a sound.
I don't understand what this person is referring to when he speaks, and I don't explain it clearly.
I hate this kind of condescending and arrogant official.
At this time, I only heard a series of "collapse!" from the big tent. "Collapse!" "Collapse!" sounds.
The sound was very dull, and it was supposed to be the sound of hitting the edge of the jar with one end of the chopsticks. Because the cans are all full.
The man went on to say,
"Since I've talked about this, you still don't understand, general, okay, I'll give you a wake-up call for Lord Luan now!"
After speaking, the man deliberately paused his throat.
"General Xiu, do you remember what the king said at the last court meeting?"
"I don't remember what the king said, please speak quickly!"
The long-faced adult said,
"The king once said in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty that our Great Yan Kingdom has just lost the war, and the current national strength is tight, and there is a drought, and the ministers of the Yan Kingdom must save food, live a tight life, and cannot waste it, didn't the king say this sentence!"
Oops! Oops! Oops!
I was in the stove room, and I understood it at once.
My head buzzed.
The other party did not find fault with the dishes, but made a fuss about saving.
Sure enough, the person who came was not good, he was indeed a ruthless person!
I turned around and looked for the golden lock next to me, and the golden lock was long gone.
