Han’s Son is Not a Slave

This is the most magnificent era in China's 5,000-year history.

The Chinese nation, mired in the swamp of humiliation, is undergoing unprecedented changes.

In front of him are the brutal and barbaric colonial powers,

Behind him is a backward and corrupt feudal dynasty,

He is just an ordinary person from modern times.

- "The Rise of Jiawu"

............

Unwilling to be trapped to death, the Qing army, unable to capture the northern front, attacked Lufeng City again under the command of Prince Jian Jidu. The Qing army all knew the predicament at this time. If they could not take Lufeng City, they would starve to death. Therefore, in order to survive, the Qing army was desperate and the offensive was very fierce.

The Taiping Army and Huizhou soldiers in the city fought back bravely under the command of Tie Yi, the second town general of the Taiping Army. Neither side was willing to give in. This battle only lasted for more than two hours. In addition, the Taiping army suffered more than 1,000 casualties. The city gate was in emergency several times, but it was saved several times.

In the evening, part of the cavalry brigade maneuvering between Lu Feng and Haifeng appeared on the right flank of the Qing army under the leadership of the town general Shao Chengguo, so Jidu had to separate the Mongolian soldiers to intercept the Taiping cavalry, so as not to be attacked by the opponent's central army.

More than a thousand soldiers of Shao Chengguo's troops and Mongolian soldiers of the same strength launched a cavalry confrontation on the plain, but they were defeated by the Mongolian soldiers. .

At this time, the Qing army who attacked the city was also exhausted. The long-term attack and heavy casualties made the Qing army lose the courage to attack the city again. The victory of the cavalry failed to change their predicament. After dark, Jidu reluctantly ordered the troops to withdraw. The next day, under the dissuasion of Belle Duryou, Jidu ordered the entire army to return to the Jieshi Guard to stand for help.

Jieshiwei is a fort built by the Ming army in order to guard against the enemy at sea. The surrounding land is full of saline-alkali land, and it is impossible to grow crops. The people who originally lived in Jieshiwei were fishermen who made a living by fishing. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Jieshiwei was occupied by the peasant army Su Cheng's army, and was attacked by the Ming army in Huizhou, and then attacked by the Qing army in Chaozhou and Huizhou because Su Cheng refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. After more than ten years of war, the fishermen who have lived in Jieshiwei for generations were either killed by the rebels, or they left their hometowns with their wives and moved to live elsewhere.

After the Taiping army withdrew from Chaozhou, they implemented a fortification in Huizhou. The family members of the former Su Cheng tribe who lived in Jieshiwei and the people of Lu Feng who depended on the Su family were all evacuated by the Taiping army, leaving only a few hundred old and weak women and children who refused to leave. . After the Qing army occupied Jieshi, they slaughtered and slaughtered these old and weak women and children, but they did not have time to transfer the military rations from Chaozhou. After Jidu led the remnants to retreat to Jieshiwei, in order to save rations, he ordered the slaughter of the civilians who accompanied the army, causing more than 1,700 civilians to die tragically by the sea. The bodies were brought into the sea by the tide and became food for fish and shrimp. Some of the corpses were not brought into the sea by the seawater, so they just lay on the beach. They were soaked and swollen within two days. From a distance, they looked like big fish lying on the beach. Under the scorching sun, the corpse began to rot, emitting a foul smell, and the maggots wriggled in it, which was horrible to see. This beach has also become a forbidden area that the Qing army did not dare to come. At night, there is always someone crying in the whistling of the sea breeze, which makes the scalp of the murderous Qing soldiers numb, and dare not look at the empty beach. .

When carrying out the order to slaughter the people's husband, Liu Zhong, the general soldier of Guide, and Zhang Chao, the general soldier of Nanyang, kept their minds. They did not fully implement Jidu's order to kill the people's husband, but secretly released them and told them to go to the south of Lufeng City or Running from Xuanwu Mountain in the north, the Taiping Army would not embarrass these civilians. This move made more than a thousand civilians escape, many of whom became members of the Taiping Army, and later avenged their comrades who died tragically under the sword of the Qing Dynasty.

Mass slaughter of civilians and the rations saved by the killed Qing soldiers allowed the Qing army to last for a month from the original ten days. Thinking that reinforcements will definitely arrive, they just need to stick to it. However, as time passed, the Qing army did not see any sign of reinforcements coming. Dasu in Fujian seemed to be unaware of the great changes taking place in Guangdong, and there was no sound of gunfire in the north. Seeing that the rations were exhausted day by day, Ji Du panicked, the generals of his subordinates panicked, and the soldiers began to panic.

On March 18, Jidu suddenly ordered to stop the supply of rations for the soldiers of the Zhili battalion, and told them to go out of Jieshiweibao for rations.

for food?

The Zhili battalions were angry. Although this ghost place was dozens of miles long, the Taiping Army might have looted all the food. There were wild vegetables on the mountain, but they could fill the stomach and make them hungry?

This is to ignore our Zhili soldiers, this is to let our Zhili soldiers fend for themselves!

The Tongzhou soldiers, who were unwilling to starve to death, held the commander-in-chief Zhang Dan and tried to rush into the Weizhong granary to **** the rations, but they were slashed by the Mongolian soldiers who had been prepared for a long time. Zhang Dan was also called by the Mongolian soldiers in the chaos. Hundreds of Tongzhou soldiers fled to the outside of the fort, screaming and wailing, and some rushed to the seaside in a panic. As a result, the Mongolian soldiers were thrown into the sea alive and drowned. About 300 Tongzhou soldiers and more than 200 Zhending soldiers ran to Xuanwu Mountain, desperately running towards the Taiping line of defense in the north of the mountain. Another hundred Zhili soldiers went to Lufeng and were taken in by the Taiping army in the city.

Yang Zhenwei, the commander-in-chief of Zhending, knew that after his subordinates called the Mongolian soldiers out of the fort, he vomited a mouthful of blood and passed out, but when he woke up, he couldn't say anything. Yang Zhenwei, who had suffered a stroke, was not taken care of or paid attention to. A few days later, he was found dead in the house. His body stinks, but it was not caused by decay, but was sticking to him with uncontrollable bowel movements.

The dignified chief soldier died so miserably, but he was also the first person in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The fate of Zhili Green Camp caused Henan Green Camp and Chaozhou Green Camp to be sad, and they began to flee. In the beginning, only a few daring battalions escaped secretly, but later, dozens or hundreds of them escaped, and even the thousand-level officers escaped secretly. On the 24th, there was a high tide of escape in Henan Green Camp—Guide Chief Soldier Liu Zhong and Nanyang Chief Soldier Zhang Chao together led all the battalion soldiers to flee to Xuanwu Mountain to surrender to the Taiping Army at night. There are 13 generals and 1650 soldiers in the following green camp.

The Chaozhou soldiers did not run away, and they were the first to notify the Mongolian soldiers and Manchu soldiers when the soldiers ran in Henan, but the "loyalty" of the Chaozhou soldiers was exchanged for the slaughter of Prince Jane's guard Goshiha.

Chaozhou deputy general Zhang Xianyong shouted his injustice on the neck of the Mongolian sword stand, and wanted to go to Prince Jane to appeal his injustice, but the Mongols didn't listen to his explanation at all and chopped off his head anyway. At the moment when his head fell, Zhang Xianyong saw the figures of Prince Jian Jidu and Dutong Nahai, but the two of them said nothing about Zhang Xianyong's killing.

Ji Du knew that Zhang Xianyong had been wronged and that the Chaozhou soldiers had not colluded with the Henan soldiers, but he still ordered Su Rile to slaughter the Chaozhou soldiers because he had no extra food and grass to supply these Han people.

......

Alta is a distant relative of Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, and according to the seniority of the Han people, he is still the distant uncle of the current Chahar King Abnai. Since the late King Ezhe was broken by the Manchus and surrendered, the Manchurian Khan has rewarded Chahar with great enthusiasm. In fact, it is limited to the ground, trying to weaken the blow. Every time they go to war, the Manchurians are less expeditions from other tribes, Chahar is more expeditions, there are fewer and fewer males, cattle and sheep in the tribe, and the big and small Taiji people are full of complaints. Although the current prince, Abunai, was not happy in his heart, he didn't dare to make a sound. The wolves on the dignified grasslands and the eagles under the sky have now become a wimp who is afraid of their wives, which is too outrageous.

This Manchurian is really not a thing, his mouth is full of a family, and he does everything behind his back. Let's just say that this time, it was clearly his Lord Jane who lost the battle, causing everyone to be surrounded by the long-haired Han people in this ghost place to starve. The rest of the food is still in charge of the Manchurians. The Manchurians eat two servings, the Mongolians can only eat a small portion, and there is still no meal, so hungry that the cows recorded the son Lang wailing.

Alta was still angry, and ran outside the tent and shouted a few words, but the guy held a grudge against him, and one day later, he whipped himself in public on the pretext of being drunk in the army. Ezhen Surile was afraid that Alta would not take this breath, so he started fighting in the camp first, so he asked Jidu for a dispatch and ordered Alta to bring four crippled cows. The more than 300 dolls under the command were transferred to the camp and sent to Lufeng to guard against a sneak attack by the long-haired Han people in the south.

Speaking of defense, in fact, everyone knows that the long-haired Han people will not come out at this time. They are very cunning. They know that the Qing army is running out of food and cannot capture their city, so they wait for the Qing army to starve to death. , thus avoiding his own casualties. The Taiping army really wanted to go out of the city to fight the Qing army decisively. No one else would say that Alta was confident that he could absolutely wipe out these southern barbarians.

Since Houlu Wuzhenchaoha was attacked, the army has been trapped here for more than 20 days, and the food is about to run out. In order to save food, the Manchu prince first ordered the killing of the people's husbands, and then went to the green camp, in order to save food for the children of Manchu and Mongolia. But even so, the rest of the food won't last long.

Ezhen Su Rile asked people to go hunting on Xuanwu Mountain. After hunting some livestock, he could get some meat to eat. At first, he could catch some pheasants and wild boars. After two days, the wild boars were gone, and the long-haired Han people were gone. coming. More than a dozen unlucky hunters had their heads cut off and the horsemen on the opposite side were thrown back into the camp, and the rest refused to enter the woods to die. Later, some idiot came up with a bad idea and said that he could go to the sea to catch fish, but the unhappy Eezhen directly slammed it: Our Mongolian children have been fighting for longevity, but who can go into the sea!

If you can't hunt or catch fish, you can only starve. The Manchurians thought about finding an opportunity to break out of the siege. They were not allowed to kill war horses in the camp, and they even collected the few bean cakes for the horses to eat. The Mongolian Erlang who watched it all complained, how good it is for people to eat this food, and this horse can be used for hanging. This horse really needs to be useful, does it need to be trapped here! It won't take long, if there is no food to eat, it is not to kill the horse, it will be a waste to feed one more bite!

What the above thinks, Alta can't control, he doesn't want to suffer the filth of the Manchu ruler anyway, even if he is sent to Lu Feng's side, it is a bit like the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

The Mongolian men who came down from the grasslands were very straightforward, and they did not have the sinister thoughts of the Manchurians. Eat when you are hungry, what to eat? Eat horses!

Hungry, Hugh said that the Manchu prince's order was just an order from his own flag owner!

On the night of Lufeng’s arrival, Alta asked his dolls to find a few old horses to kill, wash them and put them on a fire for barbecue. Everyone gathered around the fire to eat meat, and in a trance, he seemed to have returned to the grasslands of Chahar’s hometown. Same as above.

Although there is not much food, there is still some wine that can be brought. Mongolian men are good at wine, and it is easy to have meat to eat, how can there be no wine? They untied the milk wine in their skins and poured it down. After drinking the first big one, I don't know who is leading the lead, so I sang Khumai, and the singing made the children miss home, crying and screaming. The Taiping bandits on the opposite side used to hold banquets on the top of the city every day to refresh their anger, but now they were a little stunned to see the Mongolians singing and crying at this barbecue party.

After a day, I was hungry again. Alta wanted the baby to kill the horse again, but the Taiping bandit in Lufeng City opposite sent an messenger over, saying that he wanted to discuss with them.

Although Alta is a Mongolian, he has dealt with the Han merchants in Shanxikou in the past, so he knows a little bit of Chinese in the north, so he asked Erlang to **** the messenger over to question him, but the hairy Han man has a strong Nanman accent. , The two of them pointed and gestured for a long time before Alta realized that it turned out that the Taiping bandit was going to use rice noodles to trade troops with him.

Alta was a little hesitant, and trading horses with the Taiping Army was a beheading business, which let the Manchurians know that it was a big disaster. Not only will he be beheaded, but his family's cattle and sheep will be distributed to other tribes for waste. But looking at the dolls next to them, their faces are yellow and skinny, and I look back and think that anyway, the horses have also been killed and the wine has been drunk. He himself, Prince Jane, can't even dance for a few days. Why do you think about so many mothers-in-law?

At that moment, Alta gritted his teeth, made up his mind, agreed to the messenger's sale of horses, and began to bargain. The Mongolian man is bold, straightforward and not fake, but he is not incapable of doing business. Alta has already done everything he killed, and naturally he does not want to suffer too much.

Unexpectedly, the messenger was very cunning like those merchants in Shanxi. That mule cost eight taels of silver per head, and he was so embarrassed to ask for four war horses for only one hundred catties of white rice! Immediately, the straight-hearted man Alta was so angry that he drew a knife and chopped someone on the spot!

But the bowels are straight, and now they are asking for this group of thieves, and it is not good to be hungry. Alta's anger was swallowed alive in his stomach, and he tried his best to squeeze a smile on his face, so that he could look simple and honest, and begged the profiteer to give more. In the end, the chicken and the duck talked for a long time, and the messenger became impatient, and finally set a price for two horses for a hundred catties of rice and returned to the city.

The price is no longer negotiable, just change it and leave. The messenger's nostrils turned upside down, and his attitude was very arrogant. If Alta didn't do this business, he would miss this shop by himself. There is no shop that can do this business with you in the lower village. I will sleep you for another ten days and a half months, and I am afraid that ten horses will be able to exchange for a hundred catties of rice. If you don’t change it, you will kill the horse and eat it yourself. Although this horse meat is very full, you can eat it all the time. Hey, whoever eats it knows the taste.

Alta had a dark face and pinched her nose to recognize the deal. There was no way, he didn't do it, but the dolls under him wanted to do it.

After a while, the Taiping bandit pushed a few carts out of the city, and Alta also let ten horses be led there. A little test on both sides, it is really white rice, no sand is mixed in it. The Mongolian men couldn't help smiling, and they could open their stomachs again to have a full meal.

In this way, the two sides who came and went also became familiar with each other. Taiping Kou knew that the Mongolians were greedy for wine, and two days later they set the price of two jars of rice wine for one horse. When the wine came, he also took a pig and said it was a friendship for everyone. Immediately moved the men on the grassland to tears: Bibi Manchurians, long-haired Han people are really fair and righteous, one day and one place! That night was another feast, and I was very drunk.

The next day another messenger came from the opposite city, but it was a Han official in a Ming Dynasty uniform. Alta's attitude was much better this time, and he hurriedly invited the official to enter the account, and presented Maza to sit and talk. The official folded his hands and sat down, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him. Alta took it and opened it, but he couldn't understand a single word.

The official looked at the Mongolian leader holding the letter upside down, not knowing what he was reading, and couldn't help but smile. After a cough, he said, "Our Emperor Ming is a Buddha, and even ants are not willing to be trampled to death. Although our family is a military general, he is also a good person who is used to eating fast and paying homage to the Buddha. This time, the two countries are fighting for their masters. I don't blame you Mongols. The Manchus are too hateful. Even if they lose and wait to die, they eat more and you eat less. What's the reason? My uncle sees that it is pitiful for you to follow the Manchus to starve here. , then asked the official to pass a message to the leader. If you are willing to join our Taiping Army, the uncle will treat him as his own son, and will never learn from the Manchus. Huahua's rice and noodles are eaten, and they will be given to wine and meat every three times. Zuo Ling is also a good man~www.NovelMTL.com~ Why should he sacrifice his life for the Manchurians? If you come to join our army, you will be the first to do it anyway, you must have a general to do it, is it better than starving to death here?!"

Alta heard what the official said and thought it was quite reasonable, but when she thought about the strict laws of the Qing Dynasty, she did not dare to agree. The Han official smiled slightly, as if he knew what he was thinking, and then said: "Zuoling is afraid that the Manchurians will harm your family and relatives, right? It's okay, when the time comes, Zuoling will change my Ming's clothes, cut off the braids, and change my name. Surname, who knows that you are Mongolian? Even if you know it later, how can you tell whether you are from Horqin, Bahrain or Wuliangha? This time, none of these Jidu people want to run away. The imperial court still has to give you a piece of pension money? ... Well, to put it bluntly, as long as Zuo Lian doesn't tell it, my uncle doesn't tell it, and the Buddha doesn't tell it, who can know?"

"Well…"

That official's words made Alta very excited. Although the Qing army could last for a while, as long as reinforcements didn't arrive, it would definitely be unstoppable. If the Manchu prince died, even if the Mongols had their lives and ran back, the Manchu court could spare them?

After thinking about it, there is a dead end on the left and right, it is better to do it the other way, and give the dolls a way to survive!

Alta was concerned, so he asked Erlang to bring wine, cut his palm with a knife, squeezed blood into the wine and brought it to the Han official. That Han official was not a coward either, he also pulled out his dagger and opened his palm to melt blood and wine. At the moment, the two of them laughed and took turns drinking blood and wine as an alliance to set a major event. Then Alta led his men to nearly 400 Mongolian soldiers anyway. On the side of the Taiping Army, the town general Tie Yi personally opened the door to welcome him, slaughtered pigs and sheep and held a banquet. That night, the Mongolians who were fortunate enough to save their lives shot their crowns to celebrate, and all of them drank to the side, but they had already left behind the banner owner of Jieshiwei and the Prince of Manzhou.
