The Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 228: Hateful nomads

Views:

Zhang Lu estimated that all the people in Fuyu were soldiers. It was just an exaggeration. He never expected that the people in Fuyu could organize a female cavalry. When the female cavalry appeared before his eyes, he was stunned for a while.

"Da da da… "

The horseshoe quaked the earth violently, which also made Zhang Lu sober. He personally supervised the battle in the gunner.

The speed of the Fuyu female cavalry was not inferior to that of the man. The Ming army gunmen were in the range of the flintlock before they were free from the strangeness.

"Shoot!" Zhang Lu shouted, awakening the shooters who were dreaming.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The flintlocks started shooting, but this time it was like an old cow wetting the bed, one tight and one loose. It was not a volley at all.

Zhang Lu was furious: "They are cavalry, our enemies, they are not women, this is the battlefield."

But the gunners couldn't adjust for a while, and the gunshots were sometimes dense and sometimes sparse, but they couldn't shoot.

However, the bullet was shot out, and as long as the flintlock did not turn off, the female cavalry could hardly cross the death line.

A bullet shot on a woman is no different from a man.

The only difference is the long hair behind their heads.

These Fuyu women just rushed into battle, and they didn't have time to tie up their hair. When they fell from the horseback, their long hair was scattered behind them due to the resistance of the wind.

In the setting sun, through their long hair, their faces are as peaceful as death.

The gunmen were not in the mood and had no time to admire the terrible scenery on earth. Before the enemy was wiped out, there was only one thing they could do, and that was shooting.

Less than two thousand female cavalry, less than half a stick of incense.

The battlefield returned to calm. The injured female cavalry was treated the same way as the male cavalry.

The Fuyu cavalry who were fighting with Mangui, and three or four thousand people, when they saw the last warrior of the tribe...When all the female cavalry fell, they left Mangui.

Like a pack of wolves, with red eyes and heavy breathing, they rushed madly towards the Royal Third Division.

Man Gui didn't catch up. These Fuyu cavalrymen did not attack him now. According to the verbal agreement he reached with Wang Mujiu, he rushed to the Fuyu tribe behind.

Gusier led a group of cavalry, lightly detoured eastward, intercepting the last escape route for the Fuyu tribe.

As soon as Gu Sier arrived at the designated position, Man Gui killed him from the west. Whether he was old, weak, sick, or a man or woman, as long as he was from Fuyu, he killed them all.

On the embankment of the south bank of the Daling River, cries and killings rang together, blood mixed with river water.

The Fuyu people cast their eyes on their last hope, but the last cavalry of the Fuyu people was also falling less than two thousand steps away from the Daling River.

Wang Mujiu asked the soldiers to clean the battlefield. He took a few of his soldiers and ran to Man Gui's side, "The army is full, they are just herdsmen, can they give them a way out?"

"Wang Junzuo, we have already discussed, Fuyu cavalry belongs to you, Fuyu tribe belongs to me, don't you want to regret it?" Man Gui split the Fuyu child in front of him with a knife, and looked at Wang Mujiu nonchalantly.

"You..." Wang Mujiu was speechless. He didn't expect that Man Gui kept such a hand at the time.

"It's not impossible if the throne repents. You save the Fuyu Cavalry. They belong to me. Then these Fuyu tribes belong to you. I don't bother to do this slaughter. They don't even know how to resist. It doesn't mean anything." Man Gui said in his mouth, the saber in his hand did not stop at all.

"You..." Wang Mujiu almost vomited blood. This is full of laurels, like a shark in the sea. Once it smells of blood, everything can be put behind his head, "The army is full, you kill the innocent again, be careful I complain to your majesty you."

"Okay," Man Gui kicked an old man on the chest, kicked him over, and fell down from the air, lying on the ground in a big font, "For the sake of the throne, I will give in. "

Wang Mujiu thought that Man Gui would let these Fuyu people go, even if they were to be punished, as long as he saved his life, "Many army seats..."

"Stop it all!" Man Gui stopped the soldiers who were violent. "Kick them off the Daling River. If anyone can get ashore in an hour, I will let him go."

"You..." Wang Mujiu was so angry that he wanted to hit the wall, but the grassland is still bare now, without a big tree. "What's the difference between you and killing them with a single knife?"

"Wang Junzuo, don't you see killing and blood? I will follow your advice, but this is already my bottom line." Man Gui waved his hand, not caring about Wang Mujiu's feelings.

The soldiers raised their sabers. They no longer slashed at the Fuyu people. Instead, they drove them across the river bank step by step like a duck.

The cry was loud, especially women and children, but Dalinghe, just like its past, only talks about strength, not kindness.

Wang Mujiu really couldn't stand it anymore, he turned his horse's head and returned to the Royal First Army.

When Zhu Youjian and Hong Chengchou’s Fourth Army felt Dalinghe, the battlefield had been cleaned up and all the evidence had been wiped out. The corpse in Dalinghe was long gone. It was either washed away by the water or entered. In the belly of the fish.

In less than a month, Zhu Youjian’s Left Army had completely wiped out the three parts of Duoyan who had always threatened the Xifengkou Great Wall. Except for the captured 13,000 strong prisoners of war and 5,000 young women, the grasslands were already Desolate.

Zhu Youjian personally presided over the military meeting and summarized the gains and losses of the first phase of the war.

When the meeting was about to end, Wang Mujiu stood up: "Your Majesty, the three Doyans are not all troops. There will be such situations in the future. What should we do if we encounter enemy non-combatants?"

This is really a problem. All the strong men of the nomads are warriors, and few surrender. The Ming army fought fiercely with them. The best way is to destroy them. The problem is their families.

It was a bit cruel to kill with a single blow. After all, they are not soldiers. What if they don't kill? captive? Still put it

If they were captured for a long time, the number would certainly not be small. Zhu Youzhen hasn’t figured out what to do with these people in the future, but at least he has to feed them now. The Ming army’s food was shipped to Liaodong, which would have cost thousands of dollars. It's been a lot of hard work, and now I have to raise the old, weak, sick and disabled of these nomadic tribes.

What if you let it go

Zhu Youjian’s goal is not only to weaken the establishment of slaves, but also to establish Han rule on the grasslands step by step. To truly establish Han rule, they must regain their hearts, the remnants of these nomadic peoples, and their patriarchs. Their men were killed by the Ming army, can you still count on them to be grateful to Daming? Can you still count on them to truly surrender to Daming

"Your Majesty..." Seeing Zhu Youzhen hesitating, Man Gui was tentative.

"Man Gui have any good ideas?"

"Your Majesty, these old and weak, leaving behind not only waste food, but also may cause troubles over time, it is better to..."

"Why not?" Zhu Youjian asked knowingly.

"Your Majesty, it's better to kill it cleanly."

"Kill?" According to Zhu Youjian's inner thoughts, he also thinks that if you kill it, it is a hundred. The Ming army has no influence on the grassland to establish slaves. Killing can just be powerful, but after all, human life is not livestock, he I don’t want to leave the tyrant’s name, "What about you? What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, according to the general, the idea of full army seats is indeed the best choice. We can't let them go. To feed them, we need a lot of food, and... Moreover, it's useless." Hong Chengchou said to Man Gui. The idea is welcome with raised hands.

"But, they are human..."

"Your Majesty, did you kill millions of Han people in Liaodong? Leave these alien races, and once they become stronger, sooner or later it will be the scourge of my Daming." The cruelty of, understands very thoroughly.

"However, the three Doyan tribes are not slaves after all, they are all Mongolians."

"Your Majesty, the Mongols have also invaded the South. When they attacked the Song Dynasty, were there few Han people killed?" Li Li stood up and bowed to everyone, hoping to get everyone's support. "Now that the Mongols are torn apart, they have declined Going on, once they have a leader like Genghis Khan and unify the Mongolian ministries, Mongolia will surely become the enemy of the Han people. We have been established in Ming Dynasty for two to three hundred years, and the Mongolian country has never been extinguished."

Zhu Youzhen remained silent, and Li Li was right. The nomads in the north are very aggressive. As long as they are not destroyed, they will sooner or later be a big trouble for the Han people.

According to Zhu Youjian’s historical memory, since the establishment of the Han nationality, the threat of the northern nomads has never been lifted. The Huns in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Turks in the Tang dynasty, the Khitan, Jurchen and Mongolia in the Song dynasty, and the Ming Not only was Mongolian dead but not stiff, but also a slave building appeared.

In the history of the world, the Han nationality has long been the world leader in economy, culture, and technology. Why has it been absent from the great maritime discoveries in modern times that the Han nationality has become weaker and weaker

The key is the nomads in the north.

It is they who have constrained too much of the Han people's national power, and they have involved too much of the Han people's energy.

Regarding the nomadic peoples in the north, Zhu Youjian also thought about why they always invaded the Han people

Zhu Youjian’s answer is that in places where the weather is cold, ethnic groups are easy to develop a martial character, and people can draw swords for a little thing, let alone between countries without any binding force. ; The second is the harsh living environment in the north. There is no agriculture and the land in the north cannot support a large number of people. Therefore, they rob the Han people of property. If they can’t get enough food, many of them will starve to death.

Can the nomads themselves change these two reasons

Those who know the reason also know the result: absolutely not.

Unless the nomads are willing to starve to death!

Zhu Youzhen gradually frowned. This nomadic people is really hateful. You have to live in peace. They just invade south from time to time. When you are really gone, you have to bear moral responsibilities.

"Your Majesty..."

"Huh?" Zhu Youjian awakened from his thoughts, "Let him pass the past! Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately in the future, they are also human!"

Zhu Youjian hurriedly ended the meeting. He really couldn't solve this problem.

On the second day, the Left Army Army was strong in Dalinghe, but the Royal First Division Li Jun was escorting all the prisoners of war, along the Dalinghe all the way to the east, and went straight to Guangning City.

Li Jun not only sent prisoners of war to Guangning, but also received supplies of food, ammunition and personnel from Guangning.

The Left Army temporarily stationed on the north bank of the Daling River, waiting for Li Jun's return.

When Li Jun arrived in Guangning, the First Army that was stationed in Guangning, Jinzhou, and Ningyuan had already left the station. Now the three cities of Liaodong are all taken over by Sun Chengzong’s Liaodong army.
