The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 147

As soon as the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" appeared, the cavalry of the Sichuan Army was not enough.

After all, Sichuan horses and Yunnan horses are not as tall as Mongolian horses. Compared with Arabian war horses, they are much worse. This kind of horses can't sprint fast, and it is really difficult to use them as cavalry mounts.

The Sichuan army is relatively poor, and only generals can ride long-distance trafficked Mongolian horses. The horses of ordinary cavalry are all local materials, so they are obviously shorter than the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" on horseback.

Seeing that Qin Liangyu was also watching the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" with great interest, Zheng Guochang took the initiative to walk side by side with her and introduced the family history of the Huang family and his son. Lifelike.

Qin Liangyu was actually attracted by Zheng Guochang's story, and she listened with great interest. She really didn't expect that the development of the Huang family came from fighting slaves to rob supplies and horses, so she couldn't help being fascinated.

Less than [-] people who set out from Fengrun Camp talked and laughed along the way and went straight to the Ming army camp [-] to [-] miles southwest of Luanzhou City, where Sun Chengzong's central army had already been established.

The red flag fluttered and the sound of horseshoes rumbled. The military appearance of the "Red Flag Army" was praised by the civilian officials and generals of the same rank. Huang Han took the lead and ran in front of the army. .

When they saw the uncharacteristic red flag flying, they shouted: "'Red Banner Army'! It is the 'Red Banner Army' of Yongping Prefecture. Folks, please let the 'Red Banner Army' be the master for us!"

Seeing ordinary people in front of him, Huang Han had already slowed down the speed of his horse. Dozens of ordinary people all knelt down, and they cried out in unison: "Men of the 'Red Banner Army', please stop, the grassroots are wronged!"

It's really fresh. I've heard that ordinary people stop the guard of honor of civil servants and lords to cry for grievances. How come ordinary people stop the army and cry for grievances?
Huang Han reined in his horse, and the [-] riders under his command also stationed there one after another. One of the common people cried loudly: "General Huang, the younger one is named Ma Fucheng. I have seen you before. In February, the younger one was rescued by the general and was able to escape the building." Slave Devil's Claw."

It turned out that he was one of the Han Chinese rescued by the "Red Banner Army". Knowing himself, no wonder he dared to stop such a large cavalry team.

Huang Han asked: "Why are you doing this? The Ming army gathered outside Luanzhou City in large numbers. Don't the Tartars and Jiannu dare to go out of the city to plunder?"

"General, I haven't seen Jiannu and Tartars for a few days. Unexpectedly, more than [-] cavalrymen from the Ming army came this morning. They rushed into our village and robbed them. A dozen men in the village were arrested on the spot if they didn't come." They chopped it off, and they cut off the head!"

Huang Han was taken aback and said: "There is such a thing? Have you ever seen it clearly? Are they really Ming army cavalry?"

"It's absolutely true. Judging from the accents of the Ming army, it should be from Liaodong, and it may be the Guanning army. Those goddamn people robbed our village, killed a dozen young people, and ruined a dozen big girls. little daughter-in-law.

Those of us are not convinced, this is to go to the military camp to ask Mr. Sun Ge for an explanation, but who knows that we saw the "Red Banner Army" of our Yongping Mansion from a distance, so the little ones dared to kneel down and beg the general Make decisions for the people. "

At this time, two hundred white-armed soldiers and cavalry also came up. Zhang Fengyi and Qin Yuyi were so angry when they heard the complaints of the common people, Ma Xianglin, Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming and other generals were also full of anger.

Huang Han, who was thinking about how to find faults and create friction with Guan Ning's army, said in a big bag: "Fathers and folks, the 'Red Banner Army' is in charge of this matter, murderers die, women's wives and daughters die, and those who rob ordinary people should also die." Kill, you follow me to the barracks to find the murderer."

Huang Han turned around and said: "Silly boy, let these ordinary people get on the spare horses, and you take Yuan Siming and dozens of brothers to the front station, and remember to keep a low profile when you come to the gate of Daying.

Give some rewards and kind words and ask the soldiers on duty which unit is it that came back today after being beheaded. Just say that you want to buy them a drink and discuss buying some heads. "

Hanzi smiled and said: "Brother Han, you are too bad, this is not going to invite those bad boys to drink, but to invite them to eat noodles!"

Yuan Siming said: "My lord's plan is very clever. I think the target will be locked immediately, and then my lord will bring the fellow villagers to identify them, and it will be no problem to find those scumbags and bring them to justice."

Ma Xianglin nodded secretly when he heard Huang Han's arrangement, Qin Yuyi no longer looked at Huang Han with contempt, and felt that this young general seemed to be full of tricks?Just don't know how to fight?Can you beat yourself?
Zhang Fengyi asked her husband in a low voice: "I just don't know what to do if they find out the culprit. Could it be that Huang Han really dared to kill the friendly army?"

Ma Xianglin shook his head and said, "Probably not! At most, it would be quite difficult to return the looted property with a military stick."

Zheng Guochang didn't comment on the report from his entourage, he was going to see how Huang Han was going to deal with this seemingly difficult problem.In fact, with his old-fashioned behavior in the officialdom, he shouldn't be so doomed to be unflattering.

The common people were looted, more than a dozen people were killed for doing good deeds, and more than a dozen women were ruined. Even if the culprit could be found, the chief general would not necessarily kill the perpetrators, let alone recover their property. less than.

And the general who is questioned will inevitably have a rift with the officials who dealt with the matter, and the narrow-minded general may even hold a grudge, and it is very possible to attack behind the scenes on the battlefield.

This time King Qin's many troops came all the way to disturb the people, and they even collected food on the spot.Why fight for food?It is to rob the people of food.Therefore, the common people in the late Ming Dynasty hated the Tartars, Jiannu, and bandits, as well as the Ming army.

When civil servants and masters need to fight for their lives, they usually don't control those arrogant soldiers too much. It is common for soldiers to plunder, and they can only turn their eyes and close their eyes.

Zheng Guochang saw that Huang Han, a stunned young man, was taking care of this matter, so he didn't come to ask him, the highest official, and he didn't know whether it was because of this person's recklessness or Huang Han's intention not to drag himself into trouble.

He thinks this is fine, if Huang Han mishandles him, he can come forward to smooth things over for him. After all, the imperial court has laws to kill the good and risk meritorious deeds. Converged.

When Qin Liangyu saw that the top leader of the army did not show any attitude or stop him, she immediately knew that Zheng Guochang was preparing to wait and see what happened, and she followed the civil servants and generals attending the meeting to the Ming army camp without saying a word.

The cavalrymen who had been chatting and laughing all the way were not in a good mood at the moment, and the knights of the "Red Banner Army" were all pale.

During this period of time, the patriarch taught by precepts and deeds, tried his best to rescue the common people in every battle, and even took in orphans and widows. The "Red Banner Army" was naturally assimilated by such a positive energy group, and they were also proud of being a member of the "Red Banner Army" who loves the people .

Everyone in the "Red Banner Army" knights now understands that soldiers come from ordinary people, and their duty is to protect the country and the people against foreign invasions. Anyone who dares to disturb the people will be severely punished in the "Red Banner Army".

And those Guan Ning army murdered, robbed and abused women, their behavior was almost the same as that of Jiannu, and the knights of the "Red Banner Army" were filled with righteous indignation, and they all had the urge to call the door to ask for an explanation.
