Chapter 15 Chapter 121 Go crazy

On the grassland, thousands of people were fighting in a melee. People were like tigers and horses were like dragons, fighting in a group.If you look carefully, the total number should be about 2,000 people. These people have become a mess, and it is really indistinguishable from enemy to friend. Xia Xun noticed that Ding Yu had led a few people down the high slope and stopped at a place two arrows away from those people. Since he only brought a few people with him, it did not have any impact on the two sides in the melee. Fighting desperately. Gradually, the melee crowd began to distinguish the winner and loser. First, one side gradually retreated, so that bystanders could easily distinguish with the naked eye that they belonged to the two camps. However, their unmarked clothes and completely non-existent flags made the onlookers Still can't tell who they belong to.

Immediately afterwards, the party that had lost the wind began to retreat, and they turned their horses one after another, rolling and fleeing to the distance like a long winding dragon on the snowy field, with thunderous hooves.Because the other side was disrupted, they needed to use the short interval of victory to reorganize their team, so they waited until they started to flee before the other side suddenly launched a pursuit. The chasing team was divided into three lines, one line pursued directly from behind, and the other two lined outflanked to the left and right far ends. It seemed that they wanted to use the meeting point of two straight lines and three lines as the predetermined location to annihilate the enemy.Originally, in such a chase, it would be difficult for everything to go as one wished, but once the two sides started running, the gap became very obvious.

The fleeing side rarely had strong cavalry, and some knights even did not even have saddles, while the pursuers not only had saddles and saddles, but also had handsome horses that ran powerfully. From this point of view, they might not be unable to carry out a combined attack on the enemy. The leader of the victorious side was obviously marching in the rear. When the three-way army chased them out, there were still hundreds of people left on the spot, and many of them looked here. Xia Xun, who was standing on the high slope, had dozens of knights riding their horses to outflank Ding Yu and others, but their leaders didn't seem to want to make trouble. After seeing the Ming army costumes of Ding Yu and others, they saw There were still people on the high slope in the distance, and they were suddenly called back.

These people quickly left behind the pursuers. Xia Xun saw Ding Yu standing there discussing something with a few guards, and then galloped towards the battlefield.The battlefield was in a mess, with human corpses and horse corpses, and blood splattered everywhere, like peach blossoms everywhere.The snow ground trampled by horseshoes has lost the snow in many places, exposing the black ground, which is mottled. Xia Xun saw that Ding Yu had searched the battlefield for a long time. It seemed that he was looking for surviving soldiers. After a while, Ding Yu stopped on the battlefield with his guards, and seemed to have found a soldier who was injured and survived. After a while, Ding Yu rushed back with someone, but he didn't see him bring someone back from afar.

Xia Xun knocked on his stirrup and went down the slope to meet him. what happened? Duke, the Wangu tribe of Tatar and the Qimude tribe were fighting, and Qimude was the loser. Are they all Tatars?Why cannibalism? Ding Yu chuckled, and said: Because there is no food to eat, and their leader is unwilling to give up power and accept my household registration and resettlement from Daming, the big fish eat the small fish! Only then did Xia Xun understand, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said: "Very good, it seems that Wanshiyu has done a pretty good job!"the wounded soldier A leg was broken, and the chest was stabbed. I didn't take a closer look at it, but it was slaughtered. Anyway, keeping it is a waste of food.

let's go! After a false alarm, the team continued to set off, and along the way, corpses that died from fighting, corpses that died from freezing and starvation can often be seen on the snow field, because the weather is cold, and people freeze hard not long after they fall, so they are called The wild beasts did not eat much, and the corpses were preserved, half hidden in the snow, which was unbearable to see. Half a day away from the station of the relief team sent by Liaodong, they saw another fight. Arrows rained and screamed in the air. The Tatar knights rushed up like a wave, fighting desperately.Both sides used piercing tactics, piercing the opponent's formation, recoiled in a beautiful arc, and launched a piercing offensive again. The two sides continued to chisel and chisel, and countless people fell down every time they confronted. But the melee situation did not stop.

This time, Xia Xun and the others didn't stop. Seeing that the two sides were already red-hot, they cleverly avoided the battlefield and went around to the disaster relief camp. As a result, they encountered some Tatars who also fled to the disaster relief camp in a hurry. The herdsmen, after calling them closer to question, they realized that the two teams that had killed each other were actually of the same clan, both members of the Buryat clan. The reason why they killed each other was also because the food and grass were exhausted.The Tatar tribe suffered huge losses during the migration process. Once the grain and grass accumulated in Arutai were burned, they were completely desperate.In the past, when encountering this kind of food shortage, their solution was generally to migrate the whole clan, and compete with other tribes for limited winter pastures by force, and rob each other of their food.

Another way is to suddenly ride and plunder, and run to the Han people's place to fight grass valleys, but what is the current situation?Hit Grass Valley?After fighting against Wala for so long, Zhang Jun led the Liaodong army and stationed right under their noses. If you want to fight Caogu, you might as well just wipe your neck. In desperation, as more and more people died of freezing and starvation, the grievances in the hearts of the herdsmen became more and more serious, and the prestige of the leaders became lower and lower, but they were unwilling to accept the placement of the Liaodong capital.The leaders are still alive for the time being, but the ordinary clansmen can't hold on anymore, so some of them decided to leave the tribe by themselves and go to Liaodong Dusi. How can the leaders allow such behavior?And so a cannibalism began.

Ding Yu was afraid that Xia Xun would feel sympathy, so he hurriedly said: Duke, don't look at them as pitiful now. When our fists are not as hard as theirs, they are really ruthless than wolves.Even now, if it weren't for the Wala who pressed forward step by step, and our Liaodong capital in the future, we would be ready to fight, wouldn't you think they didn't come to harm our people?You have also seen their ruthlessness just now. Xia Xun glanced at him with a faint smile. On the snow field, military tents formed a huge military camp. In front of the military camp, there was a horse pit, behind which a smooth and solid barrier was piled up with accumulated snow. Bridges were built at several passages, and at the head of the bridge were set antlers and Rejecting the carbine, the central part of the barracks is a stacked granary full of grain and grass, and the whole camp is busy.

Soldiers patrolling, subordinate staff registering and distributing food, herdsmen receiving relief, tribes coming to trade, and cattle and sheep kept in pens are bustling and bustling.In the big tent of Liaodong Chief Envoy Wan Shiyu, a group of people were arguing endlessly. Standing in the middle was Wan Shiyu, a few civil servants and aides, surrounded by some emotional Confucian scholars. These Confucian scholars were passionate and raised their arms to make a noise, surrounding Wanshiyu in the center. Wan Shiyu secretly regretted: Damn, I shouldn't have brought these nerds here!

In the past few years, Liaodong has developed very well, and its culture and education have also achieved great success. Before Zhang Xitong was transferred back to the Ministry of Rites, all kinds of academies in Liaodong, including county schools, prefectural schools, government-run and private schools, had blossomed everywhere. Academy professor, master, sir.Not long ago, when Wanshiyu rushed to Tatar, considering the language communication problem, he only brought some Mongolian and Jurchen academy students. These people were originally from nomadic tribes, and the belief of the weak and the strong was deeply rooted in their bones. Without discount, it played a huge role in attracting people's hearts in Liaodong. However, their number is still too small. At this time, there are no propaganda tools such as movies, TV, and radio stations. Most of the people of the Tatar tribes are illiterate. Teachers and masters from schools, prefectural schools, and academies asked to join the propaganda war and contribute to the country. Wan Shiyu was worried about the shortage of manpower, so he nodded and agreed. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the language, at most one person can be accompanied by a translator who is proficient in Mongolian and Chinese. Such people abound in Liaodong, and many Liaodong people who don't know big characters have such skills. Unexpectedly, not long after these scholars arrived in Tatar, their views changed. During their propaganda, they saw some herdsmen of the Tatar tribe who refused to accept the resettlement of the Ming court died of freezing and starvation, their families were destroyed, and they were treated graciously by the leaders of the tribes, and complained to them with tears, a sense of justice and compassion But born. Forcibly stopping the relief forces these tribes to surrender to Daming, otherwise you will be allowed to freeze to death and starve to death without plucking a hair. Such behavior seems to them unjust, cruel, and completely inhumane.These masters who have been instilled with benevolence and morality since childhood, and have never experienced the bitter cold life in northern Saibei, and have never been hurt or invaded by nomads are angry. The benevolent is invincible!Only with a compassionate heart can the world be influenced!How can I do such a thing in my great Ming Dynasty, a state of etiquette and etiquette?How can you be so cruel?How evil it is to tempt them to defect with benefits!They are short of clothes and food, and are dying. At this time, they generously offer a helping hand, selfless relief, and free relief. Isn't that what my Central Plains dynasty, which is based on Confucianism, should do? The masters respect the sage, respect the good, be kind, and love the world. The masters take the world as their own responsibility. Love is called benevolence. With so much food and grass in the disaster relief camp, how can we sit and watch so many people starve to death like stray dogs!In turn, they began to strongly demand that the chief minister immediately distribute food relief free of charge to relieve the victims of the Tartar disaster. Wan Shiyu never expected that these masters not only failed to help, but became others' lobbyists. However, most of these scholars are well-known. Wan Shiyu himself is also a scholar, so it is not good to be too harsh. Under their verbal criticism, it is a bit overwhelming. In the big tent, Wan Shiyu was humiliated by these professors, masters, and gentlemen. While he was powerlessly defending himself, someone ran in and reported loudly: Lord Fantai, Lord Fuguo, and Lord Kaiyuan have arrived at the university. It's time for camp!
