Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 832 Female Warrior

The winter in Burqin is long, but the summer is fleeting.

The rushing Burqin River flows into the Irtysh River here, separated by two banks, with two heavens. The south bank is a lush valley plain, and the north bank is a winding and beautiful colorful hill.

Under the sunset, the surface of the river glistens, reflecting on the rocks of various colors in the colorful beach, so beautiful.

Another group of Duerbert warriors arrived on horseback. Besides the strong and brave young men, many young women and girls also came on horseback.

Several coaches of Han Haijun looked at these female warriors while smoking.

When I came to the Western Regions, I mixed with people from various tribes in Moxi for a long time, and I gradually got used to the customs and customs here. For example, in the Oirat tribes in Moxi, not only the herdsmen in each tribe, the young and strong men are warriors, even the young women and girls are also warriors. All female warriors.

They can ride strong horses, draw hard bows, and even fight with spears and knives. It is said that during tribal wars, they can even carry children on their backs and fight while riding horses on their backs. They are warriors no less than men.

"It's no wonder that Wala was driven to Mobei by the Tatars, and was driven to Moxi by Khalkha. He was still able to suppress the local snakes with strong dragons, and suppressed Chagatai and Yaerqiang."

"These nomadic women are really tough."

"What's the matter, third child, which one do you like?"

Feiqi Lieutenant Zhao Laosan exhaled smoke, blew out a smoke ring skillfully, looked at the group of women and smiled, "Don't tell me, this kind of girl is very exciting, and I like it. If there is a chance, I really want to marry one. !"

"Don't you have one at home, third child?"

"This means that the red flag at home will not fall, and the colorful flags are fluttering outside. Besides, I am now an officer with the rank of flying cavalry on the ninth rank, and I am stationed in the Western Region. Didn't the governor of Suo Nuocering also let our Han Navy run? It’s good to build a farm and ranch by the Burqin River, but my wife can’t live in her hometown in the Central Plains for a while. We are officers, so we can take concubines.”

Zhao Laosan's hometown in Henan is now just a flying cavalry captain of the ninth rank. In fact, it can be seen that he does not belong to the group of Cong Longshouyi, but belongs to the group that joined the Ming army later.

In fact, he was originally an officer in the Chongzhen period. Later, he was defeated and became a bandit, and then joined the local village forces. Later, he was adapted into regiment training. Anyway, he has very rich experience. A soldier.

Before being incorporated into the vanguard army to fight the chaos in Shaanxi and Gansu, he finally went all the way to the Western Regions and became the military attache instructor of the Han Navy. better.

Sonomu Cering, the governor, specially encloses land for them, allocating land on both sides of the Burqin River for them.

The third child is a smart man, a little naughty, but he also knows that times have changed.

Most of the vanguards are now transferred to the local towns and regiments in Shaanxi and Gansu, and a few have entered the provincial patrol battalion, and some with excellent skills like him have been transferred to the newly established armies in the Western Regions as instructors and military officers.

The third child likes Burqin very much. The silvery Altay Mountain, the green grassland, the clear Burqin River and the Irtysh River, the Fuhai in the upper reaches, and the Xuanchi in the lower reaches. This place is really beautiful and fascinating. Starting from his hometown of Henan, there are endless plains, and even hills are hard to see. Seriously, there are many people and little land. He likes it here, and the piece of land given to him by Sonom Ceraing is really quite a lot.

There are mountains, water, forests, and pastures. You can also grow some food, raise some livestock, and build a yard. It will be very comfortable.

He had a small calculation in his heart, not to pick him up at home, but to accept a small one here, preferably a local Mongolian, such as these Duerbert female warriors in front of him are good, this will also benefit him in the local area. Get a foothold, build a good relationship with the local Durbert Mongols, etc.

"What the third brother said makes sense." Several other military officers were also a little moved.

Most of them used to be regiments in Henan, Shaanxi and other places. Going forward, some are Ming officials, some are trespassers, some are local bandits, and some are green camps who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Anyway, they are all people in troubled times. Now the Central Plains finally An Ding, the group of them is considered to be stable for the time being, and many of them also entrusted the blessing of the imperial court to have their wives married by the army as matchmakers.

Everyone is looking forward to being stable, to be able to have their wives and children warm on the kang.

Before Shaanxi-Gansu pacified the chaos, the vanguard army did not plunder much, and made a little fortune more or less. Most of them settled in various places in Shaanxi-Gansu, either for village towns, regiment training or postmen, etc. Most of them who came to the Western Regions Most of them are bachelors without a family, with both ability and no worries. When they are selected to be transferred to various armies in the Western Regions, they naturally want to settle down in their hearts.

"Marry a Mongolian woman, buy a few slaves, buy some cattle and sheep, build a yard, and you can have a home."

"But we don't speak Mongolian, how can we marry?"

Zhao Laosan could speak Mongolian, and he said proudly, "Why don't we go over and strike up a conversation?"

······
"This sheep is a bit fierce to you, why don't we kill it and eat meat."

Zhao Laosan took the initiative to go over to help arrange for the new Duerbert fighters at the convenience of his own instructor of the Han Navy, and because he could speak Mongolian, he quickly became acquainted with the new fighters.

He helped a Duerbert female warrior move things, and he was very attentive. He just found out clearly that this tall and strong woman was in her twenties. It is said that she was a widow. Her husband died a few years ago while following the Junggars. During the battle, she left behind three children to be raised by her.

This time Duerbert and Shuoqi Khan issued a mobilization order to fight against the tribal herdsmen to Burqin to face Junggar, and Tana immediately put on her armor and rode on a horse with a bow and arrows.

Tana is tall, a little thin, and looks a little weak, but there is no real weak female warrior who can wear armor and hold a bow.

She is not a little girl either, a nomadic girl is supposed to be strong and sensible, and her life as a widow in the past few years has actually made her stronger.

There are very few young widows on the grassland. According to tradition, if the husband dies when he is young, the husband's brothers will usually take over. However, Tana's situation is special. Her husband's family is relatively small. During those years of chaos, The husband's brothers were all dead, and the men in the clan were either too old or too young. A group of young and old widows herded sheep and cattle, raised children, and even rode horses to fight like men.

It was not the first time for Tana to fight in armor. She participated in the battle against Tsarist Russia, the Kazakhs, the Qinghai tribe, and the Yarkand. She is an old soldier.

She was not disgusted by the accusation of this Han officer. In fact, the living habits of the tribes on the grasslands were completely different from those of the Han people in the Central Plains. They were two different cultures.

Grassland people are warm and forthright, and they have clear grievances and grievances. They will also warmly entertain strangers passing by, and they will fight back against invading enemies, men, women and children.

"The owner of this sheep will not agree." Tana laughed.

Zhao Laosan immediately said, "A sheep is not worth much, I bought it and slaughtered it, and I invite you to eat roast lamb."

"Okay, I'll do the slaughter." Tana didn't refuse.

Zhao Laosan smiled and went to pay the owner of the sheep. He also has a small fortune. Although he has a wife and children in his hometown of Henan, he is treated well in Han Haijun, and the sheep here are not worth much.

The owner of the sheep also readily agreed, and the youngest took out silver coins to pay. The silver and copper coins of the Shaotian Dynasty are very useful in Burqin. You can buy various goods from the shops opened by the Ming merchants in Tucheng, such as tea and iron pots. There are knives and axes, silver dollars and even Ming Yuan banknotes are very easy to use.

When he came back happily, he found that the fierce ram just now had been taken care of by Tana.

The dirty fur and skin were completely stripped off and placed on the ground, and then the skinless sheep was disemboweled and disassembled into pieces. Na is cleaning the tripe and intestines neatly.

Zhao Laosan looked dumbfounded standing there.

How long has it been?

He took out his pocket watch, which was a loot he seized during the suppression of the rebellion in Gansu, and he took it from a general of the rebel army.

Looking at it, it took only 8 minutes from when he left to buy sheep to when he came back.

A sheep was actually completely skinned and dismembered?

How can this seemingly weak girl be so good at killing sheep?
While cleaning the sheep skillfully, Tana raised her head and smiled and said to him: "The intestines of the sheep have been cleaned, filled with sheep's blood, and made into a blood sausage to eat. You can cut some lamb and chop it finely, then stuff them into the intestines together."

The youngest asked in a daze, "Is this the sheep just now, or did someone send you a slaughtered sheep?"

"That's the one. Look at its head and horns. Does it just hit yours?"

The third child lowered his head and looked at the head of the sheep for a while, and found that it was really the fierce and fierce ram just now. Unexpectedly, there was only one head left in 8 minutes, but it was still full of fierce light.

He looked at Tana again. Her movements were so skillful, and she still had a faint smile on her face. She slaughtered a sheep in 8 minutes, but she didn't even get any blood on her body.

She had a small knife in her hand, and her movements were smooth and smooth, without the slightest sloppiness.

"You are really good at killing sheep."

"Get used to it," Tana replied.

The third child, who was always glib, got stuck and didn't know what to say.

After a long time, the third child finally plucked up the courage. He took one of his pair of flintlock pistols and handed it to Tana together with the ammunition pouch.

After thinking about it, he took out the very rare pocket watch.

"I heard that you don't have a man, and it's very hard for one person to raise three children. I want to marry you."

Tana didn't seem surprised by the direct marriage proposal of the third child. She looked at him a few times, and then looked at the musket and pocket watch he handed over, knowing that these two things were not cheap.

She didn't refuse, but she didn't accept either.

"After this battle is over, if I am not dead and you are not dead, then I will think about it."

The third child was very excited when he heard that, just now he said the proposal involuntarily, and regretted being too impulsive and abrupt, unexpectedly the female warrior did not refuse.

"Okay, let's talk after the war. It is my heart that you accept these, and it will also help you on the battlefield."

Tana smiled slightly, accepted it, and then handed the knife she used to kill sheep to the third child, "Zhao, this knife is for you. This is the knife my father once gave me. He has followed me for many years and I give it to you."

The third child accepted it happily.

"I have a piece of land twenty miles upstream from Fort Burqin, about a few hundred acres. It's pretty good. I'll show it to you after the battle. I'll build a yard there and raise a herd of cattle and sheep. Plant some vegetables and some food, you and the children will also come over, we will live there, and it will be convenient to come to Burqin Fort to go shopping in our spare time..." The third child was a little incoherent.

Tana just smiled and said, "Let's talk after this battle!"
