Chapter 114 Building a fortress and opening the defense line to collect the Tartars for the future
Zhang Zheng's eyebrows rose, and he shouted directly: "Ma Dan, what are you doing?"
"Sir. Maybe you have a benevolent mind, so you can't do it. But I'm different, I don't have to show mercy to this tartar at all, and I can only relieve my hatred by killing them all. Madan looked angry, and pointed his saber at Nakhunur and fell.
However, Ma Dan felt a flicker in front of him, and then he noticed that the person in front of him turned out to be Zhang Zheng, although he wanted to withdraw the saber, he had no choice but to leave his hand in this move, and could only watch as he was slashing at Zhang Zheng.
"Poof!"
Zhang Zheng raised his left arm and suffered the knife stiffly.
Ma Dan suddenly panicked, hurriedly threw the saber aside, jumped off the horse, asked the soldiers next to him to take out gauze and alcohol and other things, and while helping to tie the wound, he complained: "Sir, what are you doing here?
"Alas. If I don't, can you calm your anger?" Zhang Zheng shook his head, and his gaze swept over the soldiers around him.
When those soldiers saw this scene, they also knew Zhang Zheng's determination, and they had no choice but to put down their guns, after all, the battlefield had basically been cleaned up at this time.
What can he do with Kunur's half-crippled state?
He glanced sideways at Kunur, and saw that his face was a little pale, so he said, "Also." Don't forget that he is also injured, you should also help him deal with the wound, otherwise he will not be able to hold on at all. ”
"I see. ”
Ma Dan reluctantly accepted, only lost a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao and a roll of gauze, and didn't bother much.
Before, they were enemies with the Tartars, and it was already polite to send medicine, but if they helped with treatment, it would be false. However, Hunuer was also clever, looking at the appearance of Ma Dan helping Zhang Zheng to tie up, he also imitated it, and tied up the wound on his thigh, which can be regarded as a fluke to pick up a life.
Zhang Zheng shook his head slightly, thinking in his heart: "Alas. Looking at you like this, aren't you still immersed in the past?" After some treatment, his injuries healed a little, and at this moment, the sun was about to set, and the whole sky began to become dark, so he said: "It's not too early now, let's go back quickly." If we don't go, we're afraid we'll have to sleep in the wilderness. ”
"I'll understand. ”
Ma Dan and the others responded in unison, and one by one they remounted their war horses and prepared to leave this place.
The place they patrolled was not far from the station, only about twenty miles away, and after only a quarter of an hour, everyone returned to Jiuyang Fort.
This Jiuyang Fort was built by the Song Dynasty in order to invade China, and after the fall of the Song Dynasty, these cottages were abandoned, and then they were occupied by local bandits. And after the fall of the Jin Dynasty, this cottage has also changed hands several times, and I don't know how many owners have changed.
After the arrival of the Huaxia army, the bandits here were also wiped out, and the cottage left behind was renovated as the first line of defense against the Mongols.
This Jiuyang Fort is one of them, and the Huaxia Army has also stored a lot of food in this Jiuyang Fort, which is enough to support thousands of people to live for more than half a year, plus the strong city wall and many heavy weapons equipped with it, even if Mongolia sends a 10,000 households, it will be difficult to break through in a short time.
Zhang Zheng was transferred this time, and he was appointed as the chief officer of Jiuyang Fort, and the first time he took office, he led his soldiers to patrol the vicinity of the Dingbian Army to determine the surrounding information.
Back at Jiuyang Fort, Zhang Zheng felt a little tired, so he instructed Ma Dan: "You brought this Hunuer to the Juyi Hall, and said that I arranged it, do you know?"
"Settled in the Righteous Hall?" Ma Dan muttered, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and retorted: "Sir, don't forget that this guy used to be a Tartar. In my opinion, it's better to lock him up, so what's the point of placing him in the Justice Hall?"
Zhang Zheng shook his head, with a little smile in his eyes, and said, "Ha." You also know that he is a Tartar, so it should be arranged in the Hall of Justice. If you let him stay somewhere else, you don't know how much sin he'll suffer, don't you?"
In Jiuyang Fort, almost all the soldiers have enmity with the Tartars, if they know that Kunur is a Tartar, then they must be abused and discriminated against, these are unavoidable, and will not disappear because of Zhang Zheng's words.
It was also for this reason that Zhang Zheng arranged Hunuer in his room.
If it was Zhang Zheng's current situation, those soldiers should be somewhat restrained.
"I understand ——,. Ma Dan had no choice but to respond.
He took Hunuer and walked to Zhang Zheng's residence, this Juyi Hall was made by bandits in the past, and after the Huaxia Army occupied it, it was not modified much, so he directly regarded this Juyi Hall as a staff department.
In order to be able to keep abreast of the war situation, Zhang Zheng arranged the place where he lived here.
As soon as Hu Nuer stepped into this place, his body suddenly froze, just because there were more than a dozen people standing in this righteous hall, and all of these people were filled with a sharp aura, just by feeling that all of these people were no worse than Zhang Zheng, it was obvious that the Huaxia Army had also made great efforts for this, otherwise where would so many elites gather here?
"Who's this little guy?"
One of them swept his gaze over Gunur, then at Madan.
Ma Dan bowed his head and replied: "Qi Yu is a staff officer, he is a Tartar we have captured, because he knows some Chinese, so Chief Zhang sent me to send him here." ”
"Tartar?" Yu Hong's eyes moved slightly, fell on Hunuer, and complained in his mouth: "What's the matter with this Zhang Zheng, don't you treat me here as a private school? Although he was a little complaining, he stared at Kunur like a hungry wolf, and asked, "Tell me, which tribe are you from?"
"I, I'm from the Korqin Division. ”
Hunuer's body trembled, and he felt that he had been stripped naked, and all the thoughts in his heart were seen through.
Yu Hong thought for a moment, and then asked, "Horqin Department, where is your tribe now?"
"I'm only twelve ——, this and I don't know these things. Hunuer was so frightened that he burst into tears, but in the face of the person in front of him, he could only resist the urge to cry and answer the other party's questions.
"Twelve years old, according to Mongolian regulations, isn't it generally fifteen years old?" Yu Hong's voice changed, and he aimed at Ma Dan again, and asked, "Are you sure he came with the army, not from somewhere?"
"Look at what you said. It's like we're some kind of slave trader. He was captured by us when we ambushed a hundred chiefs, and he was not an outcast. Mardan replied.
"So that's the case?" Yu Hong looked at Hunuer thoughtfully and asked, "Tell me, why did you join the army." ”
Hunur held his mouth and looked a little aggrieved, and complained: "I, I don't know. Obviously, I just live well in the tribe, and I herd sheep and horses every day, although I am bitter and tired, but I will not starve. Although sometimes I will be injured because of the old man!Who knew that suddenly there was an order from the Heavenly Khan, so I came with my uncles. Who knew that as soon as he set out on the expedition, he was caught by you. ”
He looked like he wanted to defend himself, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Yu Hong's black eyes, which made Hunur feel terrified, so he had to bury his head in his knees.
"Oh, it looks like this Mongolia can't hold it anymore?" Yu Hong's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a little smugness.
There is no way, the Mongolian steppe does not produce much grain, at best it can only last about a million, even if Mongolia can achieve all the soldiers, its military strength can only maintain 200,000 at most, and if it continues to increase, it will damage the foundation of the tribe.
And after several confrontations with the Huaxia Army and the Song Dynasty, of course, the elite of Meng Yuan also suffered heavy losses, and had to send young guys like Hunuer who were not yet minors.
It can be seen from this that the war potential of Mongolia is also coming to an end.
Of course, Mengyuan still has a vast land and a huge population, but these lands and populations are either far west and cannot reach the Central Plains at all, or Han armies such as Zhang Xiu and Guo Kan cannot be trusted at all.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
This sentence is not only applicable to the Han Chinese, but also to the Mongolian tribes.
Hunuer pursed his lips, he didn't know the general trend of the world, but listening to Yu Hong's words, he could feel that it seemed that the reason why he was sent out was just to send him to death.
"You. Do you always bully others while I'm not there?"
At this time, Zhang Zheng walked in from outside the door, he was holding a bowl of rice and some pickles in his hand, looking at the curled up Hunuer, he felt a little pity, stepped forward to put down the bowl of rice, and comforted: "It's been so long, are you hungry? You know what?"
Hunur sniffed and smelled the aroma that came to his face, and although he wanted to refuse, his stomach rolled and even made a sound of hunger.
He couldn't help it, so he immediately picked up the bowl of rice and hid in the corner to eat it.
"What about you, but after going around outside, why did you get a son?" Yu Hong smiled lightly, revealing a little curiosity.
Compared to Ma Dan, Yu Hong seems to be more accessible, and he is not angry because of this.
Zhang Zheng smiled: "Oh? Look at you, do you agree?"
"It depends on whether he's useful or not. Otherwise, I'll kick him out. Yu Hong replied, his tone was quite domineering, and no one was allowed to question it.
Zhang Zheng complained: "Alas. You're always so utilitarian. ”
"Otherwise, since I am a staff officer, of course I must put the Huaxia Army first, if this person cannot play a role, I will dare to go out in person. Yu Hong replied without hesitation.
