A knife in love

Chapter 2355
Xu Yingyang knew that Master Miaohui was an important figure in Yongtai Temple and a famous senior in the martial arts, so he must not offend him.What's more, to deal with the Japanese pirates, you have to rely on the power of the nuns of Yongtai Temple, so when you talk to her, you are very respectful and polite.And Murong Danyan is the beloved daughter of Murong Qiushui, the number one swordsman in the world, and Li Qiufeng's confidante, Xu Yingyang has a heart to accept, and is very polite to Murong Danyan.Only Wang Xiaoyu was reckless in her words and actions, and her martial arts were extremely poor, so Xu Yingyang looked down on her from the bottom of her heart.Listening to Wang Xiaoyu's words at this time, Xu Yingyang didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but after thinking about it, although this little girl is stupid, she is Li Qiufeng's friend after all, so it's better to give her some face.Thinking of this, he shook his head, and said in his mouth: "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, once the city gate is locked, it cannot be opened. Otherwise, the guards will commit a capital crime and will not be spared. Even if Xu sends Jin Yiwei to hold To knock on the city with a waist card, the soldiers on the city would never dare to open the city gate. Let's find a place where the guards are negligent, and sneak into the city through the city wall. Fortunately, the city wall of Dongliao County is less than two feet high, and it has been in disrepair for a long time. In many places, the bricks and stones have fallen off, and it is not difficult to climb up the city wall."

Wang Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and he said, "What kind of rule is this? Could it be that after the city gate was locked, enemy soldiers and horses came over, and the officers, soldiers and people outside the city could not open the city gate if they wanted to escape into the city?" ?”

Xu Yingyang said in a deep voice: "Of course not! If there are enemy spies mixed in among the officers, soldiers and people who escaped, or even enemy soldiers enter the city taking advantage of the chaos, the city will not be able to defend it. In the past, the Tartar soldiers In the attack on the Song Dynasty, there were only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, far less than the number of soldiers in the Song Dynasty. However, the Tartar soldiers were fierce and cruel. When they went south, they did not attack the cities guarded by officers and soldiers at first, but sent troops and horses to loot the surrounding villages first. Zibing robbed the villagers of food, livestock and money, captured all the villagers, and then forced them to go ahead and approach the city guarded by officers and soldiers. In this way, if the defenders on the city could not bear to see the people die in the Tartar Under the knife, open the city gate to let the people enter the city, and the Tazi soldiers can take the opportunity to rush into the city and capture the city. If the defenders on the city refuse to open the city gate to let the people enter the city, the Tazi soldiers will use the people as shields and force them Approaching the city gate. Even if the defenders on the city shoot their bows and arrows, or throw down rocks and logs, they will kill only the Han people, and they will not hurt the Tazi soldiers. If the Tartar soldiers attacked the city, it would be much easier to break the city. Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty died in the hands of the Tartar soldiers, not only because the emperor was stupid and the treacherous officials were in power, but also because the Tartar soldiers were uneducated by saints and acted despicably and shamelessly. , extremely cruel. If Song Dynasty was as cruel as Tartar soldiers back then, I am afraid that the Tartars would have been wiped out long ago."

When Xu Yingyang said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "However, the cycle of heaven and retribution is not good. After the Tazi soldiers took control of the Central Plains, they treated the Han people extremely cruelly. As a result, within a hundred years, the heroes of the world rose up together. Drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains. Although the Tartar soldiers are strong and the killings are extremely brutal, they have met their nemesis. The founding general of this dynasty, Chang Yuchun, is extremely fierce. The people were even more cruel. After capturing the Tartars, no matter whether they were officers, soldiers or civilians, they tied them together in a string and forced them to rush to the Tartar soldiers. The Tartar soldiers never thought that after the Han people were suppressed by them for more than a hundred years, they would use They fell into their cruel methods. Although the Tazi soldiers are cruel and vicious, they are not much stronger than the Han in terms of combat power. As for the strategy of using troops, they are far worse. They met General Chang, who was even more ferocious and cruel than them. , Naturally, there is only a fiasco.

"After General Chang led his troops to capture the city, all Tazi soldiers who were captured, whether they surrendered or not, were all beheaded before the army. Those with official positions were often quartered by five horses or hacked into pieces. That's why the Tatar soldiers heard that General Chang He led the army to attack, but before the battle, he was scared and fled. Emperor Taizu heard that General Chang had killed and surrendered, and once sent an envoy to the army to warn him not to be too cruel, but General Chang said that the Tartars were naturally They are vicious and cannot be appeased by the preaching of the saints. Only when they are more vicious than the Tartars can they bow their knees and surrender. After that, General Chang went his own way and killed the Tartars all over the field. He was able to make the Northern Expedition with an army of 20, defeating hundreds of thousands of Tartar soldiers, and even Wang Baobao, who was known as the No. 1 general in the world, was killed and fled. Therefore, on the battlefield, there should be no kindness in the slightest. Otherwise, once the defeated soldiers and people outside the city are allowed to enter the city, most of the city cannot be kept. In this way, if the soldiers are defeated and the city is destroyed, more soldiers and people will die under the sword of the enemy."

When Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu heard Xu Yingyang's words, they were both surprised and uncertain.Wang Xiaoyu thought to himself, I heard that Mr. Shu told the story of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he admired General Xu Da and General Chang Yuchun the most.These storytellers only said that General Chang had a strong temper and a fiery temper. Every time he went into battle, he would take the lead and had dozens of wounds on his body.Later, he died young because of his violent temper that hurt his viscera, and his sword and sword hurt his body.Otherwise, with his body as strong as an ox, he would surely live to be eight or ninety years old.But according to Xu's surname, General Chang's brutality is no less than that of Tartar soldiers.The person surnamed Xu is a member of the officialdom, so naturally he dare not slander General Chang, so what he said is probably true.Fortunately, General Chang was so ferocious that the snake-hearted Tartar soldiers fled.Right now the Japanese pirates are making waves in Liaodong, and we must deal with these traitors like General Chang, without the slightest kindness.Only by killing all of them can we avoid future troubles.

Murong Danyan's thoughts are different from Wang Xiaoyu's, she thought to herself, I have heard from my father that among the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are the most popular in terms of their ability to conquer wars .It's just that Xu and Chang have very different temperaments, and their final endings are also very different.Xu Da is cautious and generous, even though he is a general in command, he rarely kills, so not only his soldiers love him, but even the enemy army respects him.Later, when the Ming Dynasty was established, Emperor Taizu was mean-spirited. He was afraid that the hero would lose his reputation and seize the Zhu family's country.But Xu Da was cautious, and finally escaped the butcher's knife of Emperor Taizu.After his death, he was crowned king, and his descendants were also high-ranking officials and generous salaries, with endless favors.And Chang Yuchun's nature is like a fire, not to mention the brutal slaughter on the battlefield, and the slaughter of prisoners after the battle, even unarmed Tartar women and children would not let go.As the saying goes, "killing and surrendering is inauspicious", Chang Yuchun later died suddenly during the Northern Expedition, and he was only in his forties, which is really a pity.Most of his descendants were convicted and killed. Compared with Tuda's descendants, they are like heaven and earth.It can be seen that those who are generals should not be bloodthirsty, otherwise they will surely harm their children and grandchildren.
