The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 243 The Great Riot

Just at noon today, the tribes of Burgadu and Zhuoerbi still have a sense of superiority.

Their patriarchs were extremely excited when they got the news of the two or three thousand Ming troops who had participated in the attack and went astray.

The Tatars told their wives and children to go out for a day, and they were not guaranteed to be able to grab the Ming army's goods and armor when they returned.

Some Tartars have even asked their wives and children, what good things are they going to exchange for the windfall they got after returning from victory?

The Tazi families in Qingcheng were all waiting for the return of the patriarch, and they all looked forward to getting good things from the Ming army.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting was the sad news that more than two thousand elites were killed by the Ming army, and Datai Jizhuoer's life was unknown.The next thing is not over yet, people outside the city shouted horses, and before seeing the Ming army, many tribesmen chose to escape overnight.

Most of the permanent residents in the city lost their patriarch and naturally lost their backbone. First, the old mother started to cry for her son, and then the woman in the neighbor’s house who just learned that her husband died in battle began to cry with grief...

The contagion speed of the crying was astonishing, and later it was equivalent to the whole city crying bitterly, "The crying went straight to the sky."
Some families were always happy and some were sad. The Han slaves in the city saw the Tartar women crying and learned that it was the Ming army who killed more than half of the main cavalry of Karaqin in World War I. Even their Dataiji could not escape. When they came back, they couldn't hold back their joy.

The Han people were clever, and many of them were silent. They began to prepare secretly. There were many blacksmiths in Qingcheng. They were Han Chinese who were captured in all likelihood. Make agricultural tools for Han Chinese slaves.

Now they are all secretly connecting together under the instigation of a senior master, Shen Cunli. Shen Cunli was in his early thirties this year and was taken to Qingcheng by the Tartars at the end of last year.

The reason why the Tartar centurion who led the army did not kill Shen Cunli who led a dozen men to fight back when he attacked Shen Cunli's hometown was because he discovered that Shen Cunli was a blacksmith and his family's blacksmithing workshop was relatively large.

So what if Shen Cunli, Kong Wuli, refused to give in?The Tartars swung their knives and massacred 27 members of the Shen family on the spot. When the Centurion of the Tartars slashed at Shen Cunli's only surviving son and the two remaining young apprentices with his Mongolian scimitar, he knelt down...

From then on, he took his 11-year-old son and two apprentices under 20 years old and became the slaves of the Tatar centurion. Because he was a good blacksmith, he came to Qingcheng and was favored by the Tatar centurion. A Han woman.

The centurion who came back from looting the Ming Dynasty was promoted and became the head of a thousand households. He ran a blacksmith workshop and handed over to Shen Cunli more than [-] strong Han Chinese to make money for him. A few were already trained blacksmiths, others were apprentices.

When Shen Cunli learned that the Karakin Tartars had been defeated by the Ming army, and found that the commander had not been able to go home, he realized that the opportunity to escape back to the Ming Dynasty had come. He reached a consensus with his apprentices and several blacksmith masters.

The blacksmiths took action, and they secretly connected in series, allowing the Han people to hide the weapons and farm tools in the workshop where they were within easy reach.

Shen Cunli made an appointment with the Han people in the city. If he found that the Ming army was coming to attack the city, he would start setting fire. When everyone saw the largest blacksmith shop in Qingcheng ignited, they all took up arms and started a big riot.

When the "Red Banner Army" was fighting with more than [-] light cavalry in Karaqin, more than a dozen horses were galloping on the official road leading to Shanhaiguan from the capital. It was Qin Yuyi and Zhang Fengyi's sister-in-law leading fifteen Sichuan girls with the best riding skills. Hurry on the road.

Each of them has two spare horses to change, as long as they find a town where they can change horses, they will change horses in time. Of course, they are in such a hurry to go out and launch a surprise attack on Huang Han.

This matter started from yesterday afternoon, when Qin Liangyu called back her adopted daughter and daughter-in-law from Yichun Courtyard, how could she let it go, she was so angry that she went back to the inner room of the post house and immediately turned her back and ordered her sister-in-law and sister-in-law to kneel down.

Qin Yuyi knew that she got into trouble because of her recklessness, but she didn't feel wronged, on the contrary, she felt that her sweetheart had lofty aspirations and was honored.

She knew that her reckless intrusion into the Yichun Courtyard had already caused a storm in the city, and she would definitely be punished by her mother, so she obediently was punished to kneel down.

How wronged Zhang Fengyi was, of course she was not convinced that she was implicated and punished by Qin Yuyi.

Seeing that Qin Yuyi knelt down but didn't show any regrets, Qin Liangyu got angry and said, "Where is Yichun Courtyard? Are you able to go there? Huang Han's behavior has already been disliked by others, why are you doing this?" Don't know the severity and still add fuel to the fire?
From now on, you are not allowed to have anything to do with Huang Han, and the old man will also write to Xianglin to tell him what happened in the capital, and persuade him to stay away from that prodigal son. "

Qin Yuyi said with tears in her eyes, "Mother! I was wronged!"

Zhang Fengyi said aggrievedly: "Mother, things are not as you imagined, Huang Guerrilla is not a libertine at all."

"Huh? How do you say that? Yu Yi, don't open your mouth. I don't want to hear what you have to say today. Feng Yi, tell me, how can Huang Han not be a libertine if he is so unrestrained?"

Zhang Fengyi smiled and said: "Even my mother has been deceived, so it can be seen that Huang Guerrilla's success is not far away!"

"You're done? Could it be that there is something hidden in it? Feng Yi got up and sat beside Mother and said slowly."

Zhang Fengyi stood up and walked to her mother-in-law to sit down, and then began to talk with a look of fascination: "That Huang Han is so witty!..."

Qin Yuyi clearly knew the cause and effect and listened attentively at this time. As long as it was about Huang Han's story, she would like to hear it.

After listening to her daughter-in-law's narration, Qin Liangyu suddenly realized, she nodded and said: "So that's the case, but it's just that Huang Han's use of troops is deceitful. If he can't fight openly, and if he miscalculates in the long run, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhang Fengyi also thought that Huang Han's frequent use of scheming and tricks to fight wars seemed to be less upright, so she nodded and said, "That's the case, it is precisely because Huang Han is following a deceitful way, that's why he deliberately confuses the enemy's tricks. It's hard for him."

"Oh! I almost misunderstood him because my mother didn't notice. Yuyi..."

Qin Yuyi saw that her mother seemed to have calmed down and called her name. Just when she stood up happily, she heard a loud voice: "Kneel down, kneel down, who gave you permission to get up?"

Qin Yuyi was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue and knelt down again. She was aggrieved and coquettishly said: "Mother, my daughter's knee hurts so much!"

"Kneel straight! Huang Han wanted to cover up his misdemeanor, and deliberately spread the news that he was messing around with you in Yichun Courtyard?
Why did you rush to the Peony Pavilion and fight?Do you know that the idlers outside are talking about it, saying that you have an affair with Huang Han?Why did you do this today?Mother wants you to speak clearly. "
