Chapter 10 Victory is the best dignity
Wu Zheng understood that these people in front of them had never lost their resistance as Han people.
It's just that they lack a leader who can lead them and treat them as human beings.
The previous battle of annihilating fifty-seven Tartars gave them a taste of dignity.
As long as a person understands what dignity is, it is difficult for him to kneel down again and live in humiliation like a dog.
This is human nature.
The reason why they fled when they heard the Tartars was because they had never had dignity. Whether it is from the imperial court or Shangguan, they have never been given the dignity of being human beings.
And Wu Zheng gave them dignity. Victory is the best dignity.
So, they want dignity at the moment. Even if you can't live with dignity, you must die with dignity.
Wu Zheng was really moved, this kind of spiritual touch is not something that a later generation can taste.
Maybe there have been such touches on TV or in movies.
But really facing such a group of people, looking into their eyes, Wu Zheng couldn't do it, let them die like this.
Wu Zheng couldn't tell whether he was Wu Zheng or Wu Zheng at this time.
"Don't give up, don't give up." Wu Zheng's hoarse voice sounded, he couldn't help but be hoarse, because he wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry, in front of more than one hundred and fifty pairs of eyes, shouldn't the boss maintain the dignity of the coach?
"If Heaven condemns us to die, let us die together. The official has made up his mind, and we live and die together. ”
Everyone was silent, with tears in their eyes, but their hearts were warm.
They silently muttered in their hearts, then, life and death together.
No matter how turbulent your heart is, you need to face the cold reality.
When Wu Zheng was arranging the deployment, he suddenly discovered that the military uniforms and equipment disguised as Tartars were available, but none of the more than 150 soldiers of the Ming Army in Jiangnan could speak Tartar. He himself, and will not.
In other words, if the Tartar sentry asks, then the attempt to fish in troubled waters will be in vain.
But Wu Zheng did not give up his disguise, because in this way, at least the Ming army could safely approach to the nearest place.
For more than 100 people, it is good to be able to get close to the pier an inch.
After arranging everything, Wu Zheng glanced at Zhou Simian's servant behind him, and said to Song An: "Xiao Anzi, you don't want to participate in this battle, you take a few people, protect them, if we lose, you take them back to Shaoxing by boat in a few days, tell my father, and settle them." ”
That's right, six hundred Tartars can't block the entire Jinshanwei, more than one hundred and fifty people can't cross the port, and a few people can get through.
But Xiao An didn't agree, "Young master, I will be where you are, I was born in the Wu family, and I died as a ghost in the Wu family, I won't go anywhere, just stay with the young master." As for them...... Just send a few people to stay. ”
"No need."
Wu Zheng turned his head to look.
Zhou Simin said calmly: "No need, I don't need someone to protect me." It is good for one more to kill the thief, for if you prevail, we live, and if you are defeated, we die. On Huangquan Road, it is also good to be a companion. ”
Wu Zheng looked at Zhou Simin, and Zhou Simin looked back calmly.
"Okay, based on your words, if you don't die this time, I recognize you as a brother." Wu Zheng said with a smile.
Zhou Simin turned around slowly, and then said, "That's up to you...... Alive. ”
……。
The port of Jinshanwei is not large.
A fence was nailed out of stumps, and it enclosed about five or six miles of land.
There are more than a dozen thatched houses built with stone foundations and earthen walls.
The gate of the port is also made of arm-thick cedar trees.
It's like a cottage gate for a bandit's den.
To the east, on a three- or four-mile-long embankment, dozens of boats rise and fall with the waves.
At this time, on the way to the port gate, a group of people came.
On the simple lookout at the gate, two Tartars were the first to spot the group.
He put his hand on his eyelid like a monkey and looked at it for a while.
One of the Tartars said: "The useless Southern Barbarians were captured by more than 30 of us and more than 100 people. ”
Another Tartar said: "These Nanbans, as long as they hear the word Qing army, they will be terrified." It's just that there are already so many prisoners in this port, why are they still sending them here? ”
The former Tartar said casually: "Who knows? Anyway, I won't live for a few days, so when the time comes, I will kill them all together, throw them into the sea, and they will be clean. ”
After speaking, he shouted to the guards on duty below: "Open the door, there is another person." ”
The gates of the port were opened so casually.
Maybe it was the favor of God, Wu Zheng felt that his luck was starting to improve.
Entering the gate with ease is half the battle.
Glancing at Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi slowed down and slowly retreated in the crowd.
The Tartar on the lookout pointed to the east and shouted, "Hey, bring the people there." ”
Wu Zheng couldn't understand it, but he could guess the meaning of the Tartar from the direction of the Tartar's finger.
So, with the team turned to the east.
To Wu Zheng's surprise, so many people were trapped in the east.
There were ordinary people, as well as captured Ming soldiers.
Looking at each other in pairs, Wu Zheng couldn't react for a while.
At this moment, there was a voice in the northwest.
A Tartar, who seemed to be in charge, walked towards him with a few men.
Something is still being said to himself.
Wu Zheng glanced at Erhan and Chen Sheng beside him, and quietly pressed his right hand to the hilt of the knife.
After a while, the main Tatar walked up to Wu Zheng and said a lot.
Seeing that Wu Zheng did not react, he was immediately furious, raised the leather whip in his hand and pumped it towards Wu Zheng.
At this time, Wu Zheng opened his mouth, four words, "Fuck you." ”
The knife flashed, and the head fell to the ground.
Shocked, more than 100 people under Wu Zheng's command scattered like mercury, and when they saw Tartar, they waved their knives.
The poor tartars didn't even react, and the knife was on their necks.
Some people don't understand how their own people can kill their own people until they die.
After Wu Zheng cut off the head of the Tartar with a knife, he didn't say a word, ran in front of the Han people who were imprisoned in the east, and cut the rope that blocked him with a wave of his hand.
God knows, just such a rope is blocked, and there are nearly a thousand people inside, and no one resists.
"If you are a hero, kill the Tartars, kill all the Tartars, and the official will take you back to Shaoxing."
After Wu Zheng finished speaking coldly, he turned his head and left by himself.
Those who were imprisoned looked around blankly.
After a while, there were also brave people in the captured Ming army, and they shouted: "Kill the Tartars." ”
If there is one, there will be two.
There are two people, and there are ten.
When everyone rushed out and rummaged through the harbor for Tartars to kill.
The fate of a hundred Tartars in the port was already doomed.
Xiao Anzi guarded the gate to the death, not letting a Tartar go out to report the news.
There were already a dozen soldiers under his command lying in pools of blood, and there were only seven people around him.
Just when Xiao An was at his most critical, hundreds of people rushed out of the captivity and tore apart the two dozen Tartars in front of Xiao An in a swarm.
