Blood from Daming

Chapter 196 Martyrs
When Xue Liu led [-] Datong elite cavalry to the battlefield where the Harizhula Mongolian army besieged Zhangjiakou merchants, the situation was much more complicated than Xue Liu imagined. There were [-] Mongolian warriors from Jiergele, Baoyin, and Aruhan. Surrounded by the Xuanfu official army of the Ming Dynasty who were mixed with five thousand horses.

Xue Liu came to see him as soon as he arrived in Gilgrad, and Xue Liu asked, "How are the businessmen in Zhangjiakou doing?"

Jillegler replied: "To the Sixth General, most of the caravans from Zhangjiakou in the Ming Dynasty were intercepted by us, and most of them were left behind. A small part of our carts and some merchants and civilians took away some light and valuables, but Aru Han outflanked and kept most of the fish that slipped through the net, and finally a very small number of merchants and civilians fled behind the Xuanfu Ming army."

Xue Liu: "What's going on with the Xuanfu Ming army?"

Jillegler: "The Sixth General Xuanfu's Ming army has already lined up here. If we act more quietly, the cooked duck might fly away."

Xue Liu looked at the Xuanfu Ming army who was facing about [-] armored cavalry and [-] infantry. It may be that they were afraid that the movement would damage the stability of the formation. Since the Mongolian army began to attack Zhangjiakou merchants, it has been guarding there.

Xue Liu: "How about the team's casualties?"

Jillegler: "Six generals. There were almost no casualties among the three groups of people, but the son-in-law and the princess have already said that they should not take the initiative to kill the Ming Dynasty people, otherwise they really want to destroy the group of useless officials on the opposite side."

Xue Liu: "It seems that the Xuanfu Ming army just wanted to keep themselves and the small part of their belongings that escaped, so we slowly retreated with the goods. If the Xuanfu officials and soldiers catch up by themselves, then everyone will attack the young master and the young master." The lady has nothing to say."

Soon after, a small number of troops from the three groups of Gilgrad, Baoyin, and Aruhan began to slowly retreat to the north with the northern goods. Gilgrad, Baoyin, and Aruhan still saved nearly [-] Mongolian The cavalry confronted the Xuanfu Ming army, while Xue Liu's [-] elite cavalry were watching from the side.

The merchants in Shanxi and Zhangjiakou of the Xuanfu repeatedly urged the generals of the Xuanfu to lead troops to take back their lost property. The generals of the Xuanfu were sent by senior Xuanda officials to protect the safety of these Shanxi merchants. They did not expect to meet such a With the powerful Mongolian army, General Xuanfu knew without any calculations that his [-] cavalry was no match for the [-] Mongolian cavalry, so he let the businessmen cry, tell their grandma, make wishes, swear, threaten and lure them, just to stick to their positions.

When Xue Liu's elite cavalry arrived, the officer in charge of Xuanfu secretly let out a sigh of relief, saying that it was a good thing he didn't make a move, so the Mongolian barbarians still have reinforcements, and if they do it themselves, they will die terribly. After the people joined the Mongolian brigade with flags flying about thirty miles away, General Xuanfu saw that the six thousand Mongolian cavalry nearby were slowly retreating.

A large group of merchants and servants gathered around the general in the Xuan Mansion, crying and yelling at their parents. Everyone vowed to sue the general, send him to jail, and even kill him. The general knew that he had offended these young men. There is nothing I can do, I just order my soldiers to withdraw their troops and go back to the Xuanfu. This is because there are some people who are afraid. I hope that the general can escort him all the way back to Zhangjiakou in the Xuanfu. left.

Since then, the export of Xuanfu Zhangjiakou to Jianzhou tartars has been greatly weakened. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty regarded the commercial road from Xuanfu to the west of Liaoning as a fearful way, and everyone went to Datong for export transactions, thus establishing the foreign trade of Datong Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. Hegemony, Xue Yun, Eunuch Zhang, Governor Zhao, all Datong officials and their relatives, friends, family and servants have made a fortune, and Datong Mansion has become the place with the most millionaires outside the capital.

Later, the commercial road from Xuanfu to Western Liaoning was also secretly opened, but the merchants from Zhangjiakou in Xuanfu could not go to Western Liaoning at all, let alone Shengjing, Jianzhou, which was farther away. After many years, Xuanfu exported the most goods in the year, so the goods The total amount is less than one-third of that of the year, and the prohibited items are not dared to bring them at all. This has become the consensus of Shanxi businessmen in Xuanfu. Mongolian merchants trade, and then you must be robbed of your goods and become a penniless pauper.

When Xue Liu, Jiergele, Baoyin, and Aruhan retreated, they planned to countercharge the Xuanfu Ming army, but the Xuanfu Ming army was not fooled. Pull back in the direction.

When Xue Liu and the others returned to Harijula's territory with their team, Qi Miesai came with a gift from Chief Mierliang to Princess Harijula. Harijula ​​saw that his subordinates had snatched nearly [-]% of the northern goods. He generously doubled the gift and gave it back to the chief of Mierliang. Now Harijula's subordinates and the newly attached tribe herdsmen are all happy and think that they have followed the right master, and the bonfire feast tonight is inevitable.

Knowing the situation of Harijula ​​and Xue Liu, Xue Yun felt at ease, and ordered the officers and men below to eat dinner in advance, and then re-bundled the goods of the Tartars, and transferred the scattered or damaged goods and the best horse meat to himself. I am going to leave Liaoxi early tomorrow morning to go back to Datong. Anyway, I have enough money and I don’t want to fight head-on with Jianzhou Dabeile Daishan.

Xue Yun then went to visit the wounded, especially the severely wounded officers and soldiers and some disabled soldiers. Seeing and asking Xue Yun was sad and the soldiers were also very sad.

Xue Yun finally left the wounded area. Xue Yun called the medical officer in charge of the military doctor and asked, "How many people are still not out of danger."

The medical officer's surname is Lu, and everyone calls him Medical Officer Lu, because Medical Officer Lu was born as a scholar, and he is thin-skinned and tender. , Medical Officer Lu has no place to stand in his hometown. His parents passed away within a year, and his studies were not successful. However, the dozens of acres of Susukida left by his ancestors were targeted by wealthy households in the village. His house and land were taken away by the creditors. Fortunately, Doctor Lu was a well-known scholar, so he was released without any hardship.

An inexplicable lawsuit made Medical Officer Lu a penniless man. Medical Officer Lu failed to sue everywhere, but was beaten several times. The prospective father-in-law divorced him when he saw that he could no longer be successful. The dowry is not refundable for the wedding ceremony. Medical officer Lu couldn't stand in his hometown in Henan. He wandered to Luoyang with no capital or fame and almost became a beggar. He happened to hear that someone was recruiting soldiers on the border of Henan. So I begged for food, swindled food, and drank all the way to the recruitment station at the junction of Shanxi and Henan, but the recruitment station thought he was thin, tender, fleshy, small arms and legs, and decided not to want him.

Doctor Lu is a man of death. The more you don’t want him, the more he wants to be a soldier. In the end, he followed the recruiting team for three days. The leader of the recruiter couldn’t bear it and left him in the camp. However, the story of Doctor Lu spread throughout Datong. in the army.

It is a joke that everyone thinks that Doctor Lu is a joke, but Harijula, who came from a big family who is intriguing, thinks that Doctor Lu may be a talent, so he summons Doctor Lu in person, and when he learns that his ancestors were famous doctors, he is allowed to walk in the military medical center.

Not long after Medical Officer Lu arrived in Datong, he discovered that Xue Yun’s Ming army in Datong was different from Ming armies in other places. He was very ambitious, and if he guessed right, it would be normal to take revenge and vent hatred, so he presented several secret recipes to Harijula ​​for injuries and diseases in the army, and the effect was very good, so he was promoted to be a doctor in the army. director.

When asked by Xue Yun, medical officer Lu said: "General, all the seriously wounded have taken the ginseng Baoming pill invented by the general. There is no major problem in terms of physical nutrition. As long as they don't have a fever tonight, they will survive. However, the hundreds of seriously wounded may still die. There are a dozen or 20 people who can’t make it through.”

Xue Yun: "Doctor Lu, how many soldiers are disabled?"

Doctor Lu: "The general estimates that more than 80 people will leave the team, and more than 30 of them may not be able to take care of themselves."

Xue Yun patted Doctor Lu on the shoulder silently for a long time: "You should put more effort into saving them as much as possible. Saving your own people is more important than killing Tartars, understand." Doctor Lu was very excited when he heard Xue Yun's words.

Xue Yun came to the large tent that had just been erected and saw Yu Si sitting inside. Yu Si hurriedly stood up to greet Xue Yun. Xue Yun asked him to sit down and said, "I have wronged you."

Yu Si said with red eyes: "Uncle, I am very responsible for the death of so many people, even if their heads were chopped off, I wouldn't be wronged."

Xue Yun: "If you can think that way, you are a relatively qualified general."

Yu Si took a list and handed it to Xue Yun: My lord, this is the list you want. A total of 13 people detonated the explosives in the end, but two soldiers failed to blow up the Tartars. I marked out the names separately.

Xue Yun said to Yu Si: "Little Si, it doesn't matter whether the bombing hits anyone or not. The key is that our soldiers have such a spirit that they are worthy of encouragement. These 13 people are all superheroes, and they will be given 500 taels of compensation. The direct blood relatives, that is, parents, grandparents, and wives are taken care of by the Datong Army, and the children are brought up. The men marry their wives, and the women give the dowry to leave the court. This order is notified to the entire army. In addition, the corpses and relics of the thirteen martyrs should be packed up for them. family back home."

Yu Si nodded in agreement and left the big tent. Xue Yun was a little sad sitting in the big tent. Although the battle was over and a lot of supplies were seized, these were basically the noble private arms of the Jianzhou Tatars. It seems that the Jianzhou Tatars Zizi's war potential cannot be underestimated, Xue Yun wanted to lose a lot in the team's battle.Tomorrow morning, leave Liaoxi as early as possible to avoid meeting with the people of Jianzhou Dabeile Daishan.
