Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 526

"Damn it, damn it, we were tricked by Jiannu, damn it!" Zhou Laoqi slapped his thigh fiercely, put the knife in his hand back into the scabbard at his waist, and shouted depressed yell.

"My lord, according to what the captives said, Doduo and the others are moving to the north. If we chase at this time, we might be able to catch up." The soldier interrogating Jiannu looked at Zhou Laoqi and said.

When Zhou Laoqi heard this, he frowned tightly.

"My lord, what should we do now?" The guard next to Zhou Laoqi looked at him and asked.

Zhou Laoqi snorted coldly, "Hmph, what else can I do? Then chase and kill Duoduo, I have issued a military order with Sixth Brother, I can't just go back like this.

If I go back like this, how can I gain a foothold in the army in the future?The cow has been blown out, can it be taken back? "

After Zhou Laoqi finished speaking, he turned around and shouted to the messenger beside him: "Command the whole army, the target is due north, chase me!"

Zhou Laoqi and others chased towards the north again.

……

A few days later, the letter sent by Zheng Yiguan finally arrived in Zhao Wen's hands.

Zhao Wen rode on a war horse, looking at the letter in his hand.

After a while, Zhao Wen suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha, I really didn't expect this Zheng Yiguan to have such a brain."

That's right, although Zheng Yiguan was a pirate before, he was also a businessman, so it's not surprising that he could think of these things.

"Little San, write back to Zheng Yiguan, and say, leave this matter to him and let him take full responsibility, and tell him that I don't care about his means, I just want the result." Zhao Wen handed the letter in his hand to Li Xiaosan , and said to Li Xiaosan at the same time.

Although Li Xiaosan didn't know what Zhao Wen was talking about, he didn't ask too much.

"My lord, what should I do with this letter?" Li Xiaosan took the letter that Zhao Wen handed over and looked at Zhao Wen.

"Archive, save these things."

As for the correspondence, Zhao Wen will not destroy it, but chooses to have it sealed and archived.

Li Xiaosan cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, and ran back with the letter.

A few quarters of an hour later, seven or eight soldiers carried the military order bearing Zhao Wen's seal and headed south.

When the military order reached the coastline, Zhao Wen led his troops to the Alchuka Fortress, which is the future Harbin.

During the Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties, the Kingdom of Jin established its capital here, which was called Shangjing.

Later, as the Kingdom of Jin went south, this place became the accompanying capital. After the Kingdom of Jin fell, this place also lost.

During the Yuan Dynasty, it became the territory of the Wojin family, the third brother of Genghis Khan.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Nuer Gandusi.

It is also the closest city to Nuergan in Daming.

After Nurhachi established Houjin, he occupied this place, demolished the old city, and built Alchuka Fortress on the original site with the demolished building materials.

After Huang Taiji withdrew his troops, he transferred all the people here to Shenyang.

Originally, this was a military fortress, and there were two Niulu stationed there, all of them were soldiers, and there were no ordinary people.

Today's Alachuka Fortress has become completely deserted just like Long'an Station.

At this time, there were hardly any people near the Alchuka Fortress except for the garrison, and it was extremely desolate.

The real development here will have to wait until the Guangxu period.From Guangxu 22 to Qing Guangxu 29, with the successful construction of the Middle East Railway, industry, commerce and population began to gather here.It was not until this time that the embryonic form of a modern city appeared here.

During the years of the Qing Dynasty's rule, because of the ban on wicker borders, the population here was sparse, and the total number of people around the Alchuka Fortress was only 3.

Before the Qing Dynasty, it was similar here. Except for the garrison of the imperial court, almost no people survived except for the wild Jurchens.

There is no way, this place is too far north, year round, more winter and less summer, relying on the production efficiency of this era, it is really not easy to feed a large number of people.

As we continue to move northward, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Although it is August now, compared with Xuanzhen and other places, it is much colder than Xuanzhen.

"My lord, why is there a figure in front?"

Zhao Wen was riding on a horse and looking around, when Li Xiaosan suddenly came to Zhao Wen's side, put down the binoculars in his hand, pointed at the dilapidated city four or five miles ahead, and said with a look of surprise on his face.

Hearing this, Zhao Wen took the telescope from Li Xiaosan and looked forward.

Sure enough, on the city wall in front, there were more than a dozen people wearing animal skin clothes standing on the city wall and picking up the bricks on the city wall.

When Zhao Wen saw this situation, he immediately became interested, "I'm afraid these people are the wild Jurchens living around here!"

The Alachuka fortress is really too north, and the surrounding area is also one of the main gathering places of wild Jurchen.

"Little San, ask Bu He to come and see me." Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaosan.

Li Xiaosan cupped his fists at Zhao Wen and ran to the rear.

Not long after, Bu He came to Zhao Wen on his horse.

Zhao Wenlian pulled the reins of the horse in his hand and stopped.

"Look at the walls of the city ahead, is there anyone there?" Zhao Wen pointed to the dilapidated city ahead, and handed the telescope in his hand to Buhe.

Bu He took the binoculars and looked ahead.

"It really is. Judging by the appearance of these people, they should be wild Nuzhen." A trace of surprise appeared on Bu He's face.

"Go over and have a look!" Zhao Wen said as he controlled the horse and walked forward.

Bu He, Li Xiaosan and their personal guards hurriedly followed behind Zhao Wen and headed forward.

The distance between the two was getting smaller and smaller, and the people who were scraping the bricks on the city wall also heard the sound of horseshoes.

They stood on the top of the city and looked in the direction of the sound of horseshoes. After they saw it clearly, they panicked instantly.

They dropped the bricks in their hands, picked up the bows, arrows and spears placed on the city wall and hurried towards the broken city wall behind the city wall.

But no matter how fast they are, they can't compare to the speed of war horses.

"Go, rush over!" Zhao Wen flicked the whip in his hand, rushed into the city gate, and met these people who were about to run out.

These people looked at Zhao Wen and others rushing into the city gate, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the rear.

"Surround these people!" Zhao Wen shouted, controlling his horse and chasing them.

After a while, these people were surrounded by Zhao Wen and others.

Although these people had bows and arrows and spears in their hands, they didn't dare to attack Zhao Wen and others at all.

They threw the weapons in their hands on the ground, hugged their heads, and knelt down, not daring to look at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen rode on the horse and carefully looked at these people.

There are fourteen of these people, all of them are basically men, varying in age. The oldest one has gray hair and looks like he is in his 70s or [-]s, while the youngest one looks only [-] or [-] years old.

They were covered with buckskin and wrapped their bodies in it.

They had bare feet and no shoes.The face is also full of dirt, and the real color cannot be seen.

Their hair is also similar to that of Jiannu. It is estimated that Jiannu forced them to do so when they ruled them.

"Looking at this, it should be the Wild Nuzhen." Zhao Wen jumped off the horse, looked at these people, and murmured.

Bu He also jumped off his horse, "That's right, these people should be the wild Jurchens, these people probably regarded us as Jian slaves, and they were frightened into such a state when they saw us.

Also, for so many years, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have really brought disaster to these wild women. "

Hearing Buhe's voice, Zhao Wen shouted to these people: "Where do you come from? Where do you come from? Is your tribe near here?"

Zhao Wen called out several times, but none of these people responded.

They buried their heads low, their bodies trembling constantly, and they dared not speak.

"I guess they don't understand what I'm talking about. These people are wild Jurchens, and they probably don't understand Chinese. You tell them that we are not Jian slaves and we won't hurt them. Let them raise their heads and ask them where they live. Where, where is the tribe, what are you doing here." Zhao Wen pointed to these people on the ground and looked at Buhe.

Bu He nodded, then squatted in front of these people, and began to ask questions in Jurchen language.

Buhe is Huang Taiji's father-in-law, and he often deals with slaves, so he can also speak Jurchen.

Regardless of whether it is a mature Jurchen or a raw Jurchen, their language is similar, but the intonation is slightly different, which is equivalent to a dialect in Chinese.

When Bu He's voice fell, the eldest among these people raised his head and looked at Bu He with fear.

"Is what you said true? Will you really let us go? Before, you withdrew from here, and we thought you didn't want this city, so we wanted to pick up some bricks and go back to build a house. It's going to be winter soon."

The older Ye Nuzhen looked at Bu He and said tremblingly.

When he finished speaking, he hurriedly began to kowtow, begging for mercy while kowtowing.

Not only him, but the people kneeling next to him also began to kowtow non-stop.

Buhe translated these words to Zhao Wen.

"Sure enough, they regard us as Jian slaves." Zhao Wen suddenly understood that these people regarded them as Jian slaves.

Looking at these people who kept kowtowing, Zhao Wen said to Buhe: "Tell them our origin, and then tell them that Jiannu has been defeated by us, and then tell them that we will not hurt them."

Bu He nodded and translated Zhao Wen's words.

"We are not Jiannu, we are not Nurhachi Huang Taiji's people, we have defeated Jiannu, and we have wiped them out. Don't worry, we won't hurt you, just don't worry.

We are from Xuanzhen, does Xuanzhen know?Xuanzhen is Daming, and we came from Daming.The city here is not ours, don't be afraid, we will not harm you, where is your tribe? "

The older wild Jurchen looked at Buhe with doubts on her face.

"Get up!" Bu He said again.

However, no matter how Bu He persuaded them, these people just couldn't get up, they just knelt on the ground like that, unable to get up alive.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Wen felt dizzy.

"My lord, I'm afraid these people don't believe our words, what should we do?" Bu He stood up and looked at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen frowned and pondered for a while, and after a while, Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaosan, "Go get some canned food and give them to eat."

After hearing Zhao Wen's voice, Li Xiaosan hurriedly ran outside.

Not long after, Li Xiaosan led seven or eight soldiers to Zhao Wen.

Li Xiaosan and these personal guards jumped off the horse, took a sack from the horse's back, and put it on the ground.

These burlap bags contained canned food, but they were not heated.

Zhao Wen pointed to the cans on the ground and said to Li Xiaosan: "Open these cans and look at the appearance of these people, they probably haven't eaten, let them eat first.

I still don't believe it, if we do this, they will treat us as slaves. "

Li Xiaosan nodded, squatted down, opened the cans, and placed them one by one in front of these wild Jurchens.

The fragrance wafted out of the can, wafting non-stop.

The heads of these wild Jurchens were buried low, and the halazi flowed out.

Even so, they still dare not look up at the cans on the ground.

"Tell them, this is for them, let them eat." Zhao Wen looked at Buhe.

"This is food for you. Eat it. It was rewarded to you by adults. Don't be afraid, eat it." Bu He looked at these people and said.

However, no matter what Bu He said, these people dared not eat, but kept swallowing.

"Eat, do you want to eat? If you don't eat it, you won't give me face, or the chief soldier. If you don't give me face, if you don't give the chief soldier face, then you are courting death."

Buhe persuaded for a long time, but these wild Jurchens still dare not move.

Buhe became angry after persuading them, and finally drew out his waist knife and shouted at them loudly.

These wild Jurchens who were kneeling on the ground buried their heads even lower, their bodies trembling non-stop, still not daring to move.

"I've lived so long, and I've never seen such a stubborn person. He's a savage, a savage." Bu He cursed angrily as he looked at the savage Jurchen who was motionless. "I really want to hack you all to death, what a waste, a waste."

Cursing and cursing, Bu He took the waist knife back, took out the big black star that Zhao Wen had given him, and shot towards the sky.

"If you don't eat it, you're going to die."

The gunshots echoed in place, and to these wild Jurchens, the gunshots were like thunder from the sky.

When the gunshot rang out, it almost scared the wild Jurchens to death.

Amidst Buhe's roar and gunshots, these wild girls finally picked up the cans on the ground tremblingly.

When they took a bite tremblingly, their eyes lit up instantly.

When they tasted something they had never tasted before, they excitedly put death behind them, no longer afraid of these people, and began to eat without hesitation.
