Chapter 120: All the People Are Soldiers
In the autumn period, Shunyuan City belonged to the jurisdiction of the "Ke State". During the Warring States Period, it belonged to the scope of the "Yelang Kingdom".
Shunyuan City was originally a place where various ethnic groups lived together and ruled over, but the Great Xia Kingdom and the Liang King of Yunnan fought several times. For a time, the Shunyuan City was burned.
In this way, Wang Fu was trusted by Emperor Taizu, and he was in charge of the affairs of Huzhou, Guangzhou, and Guizhou.
Since his face has been torn, King Liang naturally will not let the Ming army continue to garrison Shunyuan.Shunyuan City for a time 100,000 troops pressed the border.The flames of war are about to ignite.The Ming army in Shunyuan City is only 30,000.In desperation, the general Dou Rank can only lead troops to evacuate Shunyuan City.Shunyuan City is restored to the Liang King of Yunnan.
Shunyuan City is the central lifeblood of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan; King Liang stationed 50,000 troops in Shunyuan City in order to ensure the safety of the eastern border.
The autumn breeze is blowing, the golden autumn is cool, and it seems that it is about to reach the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Shunyuan City has also become lively, but a few days ago, there were thousands of 'chaotic' people outside the city who raided the Yuan soldiers, so that the new city lord Alatan Cang had to be careful.
Although the festival is lively, all the people who enter the city must be searched, especially the women, especially the beautiful women. Of course, this is the rule set by the city soldiers.
To the disappointment of the city soldiers, although there were many people entering the city, they were all young and strong men, but they didn't even see a 'female' person's 'hair'.
In the early afternoon, a convoy came from outside the western city, and as far as the eye could see, the procession was mighty, and there were dozens of carriages.
It turned out that after the Yuan soldiers occupied Shunyuan City, half of the military rations were self-supplied, and half of them were paid by the local villages.
The convoy traveled to a secluded place in the city, only to see that the streets and alleys were rushing out, and there were more than 1,000 young and strong people of all ethnic groups, each of whom carried bags of grain and rice, and there was no need to greet them before arriving at the convoy.
The convoy marched again, and the young and strong people of all ethnic groups hid in the streets and alleys in an instant, and there was no movement.
At the foot of Qianling Mountain, in front of more than 300 new graves, Da Kui stood concentratingly, and the battle flags were unfurled behind him, and 20,000 soldiers of all ethnic groups were waiting in formation.
"There is death in life, death is deserved, and the husband has no hatred." Da Kui trembled and 'groaned' this sentence, but it was already tears in his eyes, and it was difficult to say a word.
Panbu brought a jar of wine, walked to Da Kui's side and whispered, "Father-in-law mourns."
Da Kui didn't speak, took the wine jar and silently opened the seal, slowly spilled the wine in front of the tomb, looked at the three hundred and sixty-three new tombs in front of him, Da Kui said slowly: "Ranked in the heavens, there are spirits, Zhang Dakui swore in front of the graves, swore that he would seize Shunyuan City, in order to comfort the spirits in the sky." There was no more, there was no burning of paper money, not even the spirit flag, Da Kui turned around and left, and came to the front of the various tribes.
Da Kui raised his voice and said: "Today's battle of Shunyuan is related to the well-being of all ethnic groups, and I won't say the great truth, but no matter which village takes the lead in attacking the city and defending the mansion, Zhang Dakui will give it 100,000 taels of silver." As soon as this remark came out, 20,000 children couldn't help but look at each other.
100,000 taels.
Before everyone could calm down, Da Kui said: "After entering the city, the official does not need to say much, your leader will lead you to conquer all the important places, what the official wants to say is, no matter who you die in battle, the official will give generous compensation. Although there is a great reward for this battle, it is for your flesh and blood, and your compatriots will no longer be sent to the fence in the future, and they will no longer be bullied." Looking at the 20,000 soldiers of various ethnic groups, Da Kui shouted categorically, "Prepare to go."
Before Da Kui got on the horse, he couldn't help but feel a little in a trance: "The red cloud is no longer there. On the horse, Da Kui looked back again at the more than 300 new graves, and then the battle was imminent.
"Drive." Da Kui rode his horse and whipped the whip and galloped away in the direction of Shunyuan City.Behind him, 20,000 soldiers and horses were 'mixed' and followed closely behind.Because of the scarcity of war horses, all ethnic groups were mostly foot soldiers.
Walk to a fork in the road, only to see the intersection of the crowd of people, all of them are people of all ethnic groups, men, women, old and young, can be said to be full of voices, it is no wonder, the young and strong family want to go out to fight, as parents, wives and children are naturally worried, people are the most difficult parting, bitter, this is also the long-term affection of people.
Da Kui knew that he would have to delay for some time, so he and Panbu left the large army of the alliance of various tribes and marched eastward for a while. This place is still more than 50 miles away from Shunyuan, and it is separated by a hill, so there is no need to worry about what the Yuan soldiers find in the city.
When the Yuan army saw the 'chaos' people attacking the city, they would naturally sound gold to warn.More than 1,000 young people in the city would spontaneously attack the 'gate' of the west city when they heard the sound of gold.Once the inside and outside should be combined with the city's 'gate'.
20,000 Zhai soldiers against the Yuan army's 'fine' soldiers 50,000 If it is a strong enemy, it is naturally not an opponent. Da Kui's intention is to capture the thief and capture the king.
Da Kui Xiang is very thoughtful, but he neglected the military order, these village soldiers are not regular troops, they love their family, they are also missed by their relatives, wait for half an hour, Da Kui can't help but feel a little anxious, go back to the horse and look again, the young and strong people in each village and their families nag don't, don't, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be dark.
Da Kui had no choice but to call Panbu to urge him, Panbu led the order to return to the horse and rushed to the soldiers and people of each village.
I heard a soldier crying: "Grandma, you go back, when we conquer Shunyuan City, our family will be able to share the cattle, and there will be a lot of money in the village... Woo woo...."The tears between relatives are really inseparable.
The old father of another soldier asked in a trembling voice: "Can you divide the paddy fields, the cattle family has them, but the fields are not enough to plant... Ahem." This kind of discourse goes on and on, and the discussion continues.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Panbu hurriedly raised his voice and said: "The people who go to attack the city are rich. Master Zhang said, take out 100,000 taels of silver and add a pension, everyone rest assured." After a pause, he shouted again, "The team is leaving, folks, go back."
This sentence immediately made the crowd blow up.100,000 taels of silver.Those who go to attack the city have money.
These kind-hearted people of all ethnic groups have always eaten at sunrise and sunset, and they have never seen anything like a hundred thousand taels of silver after working hard all their lives.
Panbu didn't know what the consequences of his words were. The crowd was chattering again, and a fat 'woman' came out of the crowd and asked loudly, "What you just said is true."
Panbu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said categorically: "Of course it's the truth."
When the fat 'woman' heard this, her heart bloomed, and she turned around and shouted to the crowd: "The people who go to siege the city are rich, and I will go too."
Nearly 40,000 villagers, except for those who are too young, too old, the rest of the people are going to attack the city, the number is about 30,000, and they are stupid for a while, but they can't talk and don't count.
Da Kui was watching the situation of Shunyuan City on the slope.After waiting for a while, Pan Bu didn't come back.I couldn't help but look back.This look at Da Kui was almost so frightened that he immediately fell down.The mountains in front of him were full of people.The crowd was surging like a 'tide'.I couldn't tell that it was a village soldier.That was a villager.Where was this going to war.This was going to a temple fair.
Da Kui knew very well the seriousness of the military discipline, and immediately called Panbu to summon the leaders of all ethnic groups.
It took a long time to find the two heads.
Da Kui couldn't help but have a headache when he saw the soldiers and civilians scattered like this.
Da Kui called them both to him and asked, "Why are you doing this?
The leader of the Gelao tribe said bluntly: "They are not sending their relatives, they are going to attack the city."
"Ahh Da Kui exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, and his eyes straightened.
The leader of the Gelao tribe said, "My third uncle is also here, and he said that if he can give him silver, he will not live.
Da Kui didn't expect that there would be such a drama today.How can such a loose team fight.
Da Kui's mind was turning, and he immediately said to the two heads: "You go and tell everyone, kill a Yuan soldier and reward ten taels of silver. The two leaders were shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't help but see the horror in each other's eyes at each other.
Kill a Yuan soldier and reward ten taels of silver.Shun Yuan City has 50,000 Yuan soldiers.No.That's not a Yuan soldier.It's silver.
As soon as the words came out, the people were boiling, and the 50,000 men, women, and miscellaneous troops of all ages immediately continued to march towards Shunyuan City.
