Chapter 761: Bandits
Enduring the pain in her heart, Liu's mother desperately tried to crawl out of the entrance of the village, her teeth clenched tightly......
The blood on his leg flowed, and the whole piece was stained on the side of his pants, forming a purple-black paste, which firmly stuck to the wound.
She took a step up on the grass, the pain was like a sharp arrow in her heart, and with the palms of her hands on the ground, she tried to lift her injured leg high, and little by little she crawled to the door of the temple, and she could no longer bear the pain, so she leaned sideways on the stone steps of the gate.
She hummed a very small, very small sound from her mouth, and barely opened her dizzying eyes, glancing at the sky in the middle of the night. The stars, twinkling, made her unable to see clearly, "It's only about the third watch." ”
It was like a nightmare, and a cold wind blew in her face, which made her shiver, her brain seemed to be a little clearer, and the wound on her leg became more painful.
"The Guanyin Niang Niang who saves the suffering!"
The woman screamed miserably, she had not believed in Guanyin Niangniang since her three sons had been killed by the Tatars. And now, she is inexplicably calling out that people always choose to believe in gods when they are cornered.
Probably in this world, except for the Bodhisattva Niangniang, there is no second person who knows her painful feelings better, so she prays habitually.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva Niangniang! I've been honoring your old man for more than 40 years, so you should bless me this time, right? My son, my life! As long as I avenge this sea of blood, more than 100 lives in the entire Zhuangzi will be lost. Bodhisattva, open your eyes. ”
The village is located somewhere in Gansu Province within the Great Wall, and two days ago, countless Tartars on horseback suddenly appeared, and without waiting for the people in the village to react, they rushed into the village from all directions whistling and slashing and killing, regardless of men, women, old and children. Kill anyone you see.
Her sons lay on the ground one by one in front of her house. The boss was slashed five times, his head didn't know where it fell, and a big hole was stabbed in his stomach, and his intestines were dragged to the ground.
The second child was slashed four times by a laughing tartar, and all his limbs were cut off, and the ground was covered with red blood; The youngest child was shot into a hedgehog with a bow and arrow. She was lucky enough to escape in the backyard, but when she escaped, she accidentally fell into the valley and broke one of her legs.
Oh, my God!
Mother Liu breathed as deeply as she could, and the unspeakable pain of her broken heart. Desperately climbing up from the stone steps, he sat down and sighed with a deep evil breath. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, and the tears rolled down again.
"Wouldn't you come?"
After looking around the darkness for a while, he reluctantly threw his sons out of his mind one by one, thinking about the big things in front of him. The descendants who had rescued her last night had told her that the Tartars had indeed arrived at the Land Shrine and would have come there at dawn at the latest, because they had not grabbed enough food because of the horses. They had plenty of time to exit the Great Wall.
Liu's mother chose to come over alone and let the future generations report the news, people in their fifties, what else is there to be afraid of? For the sake of the son. For the sake of the villagers, she is willing to do whatever she does, and she has already put everything out of the way.
Enduring the excruciating pain, she didn't care about the injury. She was afraid that the Tartars who had been stabbed with a thousand knives would not come.
Wait, wait, wait! When it was almost the fifth watch, Liu's mother saw that the stars in the sky were sinking, and said to herself: "Shouldn't you not come?" ”
She repeated her worries. You must not let the Tartars go, in that case, where can you take revenge? Just as he lay down again, a sound sounded from afar.
Syllable!
But the sound was very slight, Liu's mother didn't seem to hear it, and then it snapped again, which was the sound of horses' hooves walking slowly on the ground.
"Are you coming?" She opened her ears as much as she could, and her voice instantly became denser, "It's really here!" ”
Realizing that the Tartar was coming, her mood suddenly became tense again, a little flustered, and a little surprised.
Suddenly, a whistle sounded in the air, followed by what seemed to be a gallop of horses, and the echoes of the valleys on all sides seemed like the heavens were falling apart. She was so distraught that she had to close her eyes.
The knights on all sides gradually surrounded her, and Mother Liu didn't have to open her eyes, she tried her best to cross her heart, and shrunk her body into a lump without breathing.
"Come on, I'll never live this old life anymore anyway."
This village has long been empty, and the Tatars, who can't grab anything, are in a hurry to lose their popularity, and in front of the throne of the Bodhisattva of the Jizo King, two generals, one Shangshu, still use the official titles of the Yuan Dynasty to interrogate the captured women.
Mother Liu's head was dizzily helped over, her eyes widened desperately, surrounded by extremely vicious wicked people, from countless years ago, they came to rob the Han people, burn and kill the Han people, and the Han people have never offended them, cultivating their own land, living their own lives, why do they have to come to burn and loot?
Sure enough, these living bulls and horses, that is, they killed more than 100 people in the village and killed their own children's enemies, you are all devils, devils! Mother Liu's eyes were about to bleed, and she really wanted to pounce, bite them all hard, and dig out all their hearts and livers to avenge the children.
But now she could do nothing but throw angry flames at them, and she had to bite her teeth with all her might, and swallow the anger into her stomach and burn.
"I, my surname is Liu, don't kill me." Liu's mother looked scared.
"Don't be afraid!" Shangshu, who had braided hair, asked in fluent Chinese, "How did you get here?" ”
Mother Liu cried loudly, crying so sadly, "I am the nurse of a big family, I have a young grandfather and a young lady, but they heard that the robbers are coming to go up the mountain, and they don't want to take me with me, so I begged them to live and die, but I was injured in the leg." ”
"Oh." Shang Shu was overjoyed and asked, "You mean that everyone in the village has gone up the mountain?" ”
Suddenly, Grandma Liu realized her mistake and shouted in a panic: "You are robbers, you are robbers." ”
The Tatar general stepped forward and slapped her hard, but Shang Shu hurriedly grabbed his hand and said angrily: "Why are you beating people? I don't care about you! Then he said gently: "I'm sorry, he's a rough man and has no rules." Old sister-in-law, you might as well follow us to the grassland, there are also many Han people there, and we were all a family fifty years ago. ”
"You are robbers." Mother Liu looked flustered and muttered, "How can I defect to the Tartars? ”
"What tartars." Shang Shu was not happy, "The current Emperor of the Central Plains is a robber, and the True Dragon Son of Heaven is in the north, and he is the Great Yuan Emperor." Old sister-in-law, you take us to the mountains, after the matter is completed, those Han people are your slaves, you can torture as much as you want, I am the secretary of the Great Yuan Military Department, and I will practice what I say. ”
Out of prudence, the Tatars sent a number of scouts to make sure that there were no officers and soldiers nearby, and the chiefs solemnly discussed for a while, and they all agreed that they should go up the mountain and return to the steppe as soon as they were done.
Mother Liu is not lying, such an honest elderly woman, and she was beaten by the head of the family and broke her leg, so there is no reason to lie.
In the afternoon of the next day, the 5,000 men were divided into 5,000 troops, with the most brave and skilled Oirats in the front. The Oirats are not an independent minority of the steppe or a small tribe of the Mongolian people, but generally refer to the "steppe people" and "forest people" in Mongolian, that is to say, the Oirats are the main ethnic group of the Mongolian people, but it is also the Oirats who are the poor herdsmen at the bottom, who have never been regarded by the Mongolian nobles who are dominated by the golden family, and belong to the commoners who have been oppressed and enslaved for generations.
The former Great Khan Ghost Lichi, who had already been killed, took advantage of the 40,000 disgruntled Oirats under his command, and received great support from the Ming Dynasty, so that the Oirat tribe expanded its sphere of influence to the entire Western Mongolia region from the western shore of Lake Baikal to the upper reaches of the Irtysh River.
With the killing of Guilichi by Arutai, he embraced the throne of the golden family of Benyasuri, and is now dying by the spur Mahamu, who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, forcing Benyasuri and Arutai to flee to the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions, and had to choose to raid the Ming Dynasty for the survival of the tribe.
Historically, the orthodox appeal of Benjamin is self-evident, and it is easy to gather the Mongol tribes, and the Ming Dynasty, which finally collapsed and collapsed the Kublai Khan family, is hostile to the new Mongol Great Khan, which is also the fundamental reason for Zhu Di's Northern Expedition.
However, relying on the vast steppe desert, the Ming Dynasty could not completely destroy the Mongols, and the Tatars and Warats were always defeated but not destroyed.
This is a very difficult situation to solve, Xu Hao can't learn from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, what kind of alliance between the Mongols and Manchus, and the wanton marriage between each other, even if he has muskets and artillery, he doesn't dare to let the army go deep into the steppe rashly, even if the Mongols are hit hard, what can he do? How can it be occupied for a long time? Not to mention the reclamation of the army and the re-establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, it is simply unrealistic with the current conditions.
Now, while the Ming Dynasty continued to consolidate its relationship with the Western Regions, it secretly supported the re-emergence of Gui Lichi's son Eseku, continued to divide the Tatars, and launched an extermination revenge against the Duoyan Sanwei who were close at hand, with the aim of completely controlling the entire Liaodong.
Xu Hao's final plan was to start a war with the Warats, and he couldn't forget that the opponent in the Battle of Tumubao was the Warats.
Shang Shu and the two generals who led the troops and the 1,000 Chinese army were the Asutes, the Mongolized Iranians, who originated in the Caucasus, came to East Asia with the Mongol army of the Western Expedition, and became a guard of the Mongol army for generations, and the guards of the Yuan Wuzong period.
Arutai is the Asut people, in history, the Asuts finally fled to the area of the Xing'an Mountains due to defeat, and were no longer able to govern the tribes, 6 continued to be attached to the Manchus, and were respectively incorporated into the white flag, the red flag, the red flag and the blue flag.
With 5,000 men and 15,000 horses, the Ming Dynasty did not send troops to levy as in history, but retreated in nine towns in the north, which gave Benjamin the courage to venture in. (To be continued......)
