Blood from Daming

Chapter 578 "Captive"

Mao Wenlong was under the protection of Mao Youde, and his son Mao Chengzuo and the Dongjiang Army fired artillery and bows to help Mao Wenlong back to the ship. The rest of the soldiers jumped into the water one after another. Three thousand soldiers died at the hands of Jianlu, drowned in the sea, or were captured by Jianlu.

The ships of the Dongjiang Army sailed away from the coast of Gaizhou one after another. Mao Wenlong looked up to the sky and sighed, because he was too greedy for money, which caused more than [-] casualties for the Dongjiang Army. The big defeat of the defeat is just to continue the ermine, stealing chickens will not lose a lot of rice, Mao Wenlong led his troops back to Phi Island with grief and indignation.

At this time, there was a dispute at the seaside of Gaizhou. Daishan’s second son Beizi Shuotuo got into a fight with his elder brother Yuetuo because of the mountains of wealth at the seaside. Haizhou and Gaizhou shared the seized property equally, but Shuo Tuo thought he had arrived first, and had suffered hundreds of red flag warriors, so he deserved a share of it. Yue Tuo refused.

In the end, it was Daishan who came forward to stop the farce of the two brothers. Daishan agreed that all the food and property should be divided equally, which calmed down the matter. But now Yuetuo's inlaid red flag is satisfied, but Shuotuo and him are subordinates I am not satisfied, there is no reason to fight life and death until I am satisfied with the benefits in the end, and it will make the whole Zhenghongqi have opinions on Yuetuo.

So on the tenth day of the second month of June, Yue Tuo dispatched troops to the southeast to pursue the soldiers and horses on the Dongjiang Army Road. Except for Haizhou and Gaizhou, there were some people and horses accompanying them. Ming, and Shuo Todun soldiers by the sea, have been reluctant to send troops to the south for a long time.

Yue Tuo was so angry that the three corpses jumped and the smoke was stolen, but Yue Tuo Nadaishan and Shuo Tuo had no choice but to entangle the soldiers and horses of Haizhou and Gaizhou with a total of 2 soldiers and horses, chasing south to the Dongjiang Army to escort the baggage The supply team, led by Yue Tuo, galloped for a day with a red flag, and finally caught up with the Dongjiang Army team escorting livestock, supplies and people when it was dark.

There was no suspense in the course of the battle. The 1000 soldiers and civilians of the Dongjiang Army dispersed without any decent resistance at all. The army and civilians fled in all directions, so Yuetuo seized [-] livestock, [-] carts of supplies and [-] people, of whom about [-] were women.

Xianghongqi trained by Yuetuo was more than ten times more vicious than Daishan's. That night, Xianghongqi raped the [-] rescued Houjin women, causing the raped women to cry and make noise. They kept claiming that they were from the Kingdom of Jin, and many of the women themselves were from the Jurchen tribe, but the soldiers with red flags did not let them go.

In one night, the soldiers with red flags tasted the delicacy of women, and there were only [-] men rescued from the Dongjiang Army shriveling aside, and [-] crying women in tattered clothes, and the soldiers and horses of Haizhou and Gaizhou who were far away. These Jianlu soldiers from Haizhou and Haizhou really couldn't do anything to the local women in their hometown. Last night, they could only work like this and feel uncomfortable. As for whether any of these women have their wives, daughters and relatives, it's another matter.

At dawn on the [-]th, when Yue Tuo sent troops to continue chasing the Dongjiang Army, officials and generals from Haizhou and Gaizhou dared to come to Yuetuo's tent to ask for the men and women rescued from the Dongjiang Army. Yue Tuo waved his hand, He ordered the Xianghongqi soldiers to release those men and women, and asked the officials and generals of Haizhou and Gaizhou to guard the livestock and property obtained from the Dongjiang Army on behalf of the Xianghongqi. .

However, when Yuetuo's inlaid red flag came to Jiulian City, the entire Jiulian City passed through Xue Jiajun and Dongjiang Army after they destroyed Jianlu Qingqi. Not many people fled one after another, and some went to Phi Island with the Dongjiang Army. Ten days later, the slightly useful houses and property outside the city of Jiulian City were all burned by the Dongjiang Army.

Yue Tuo got nothing in Jiulian City, so he had to order the red flag to go straight to Zhenjiang City, but when he arrived near Zhenjiang City, he only saw the Dongjiang Army Fleet sailing south. The military fleet disappeared at the end of the Yalu River, and Yue Tuo reined in his horse and sighed, regretting that he had come a step late.

On the early morning of June 4th, both the Xue family army and the North Korean army suspended their troops and reined in their horses. The first and second ships of the Xue family army's navy lined up. In this place, more than [-] people gathered on both sides, but the hostile two sides are not preparing to fight, but to exchange prisoners.

First, the representatives of the two sides communicated. General Zuo Ming was sent by the Xue family army, Li Gui, deputy commander of the Ningbian Army, was sent by the North Korean army, and Mele Erzhen Muktan was sent by the Jianlu Xianglan Banner. The three met in the middle of the two armies. Jianlu Amin saw that there was one more person on the other side, and proposed to ask Mu Ketan to bring a deputy for safety, but Mu Ketan politely refused on the grounds that he did not want to cause extra problems.

Mu Ketan slowly came to the middle of the two positions, and discussed with Zuo Ming and Li Gui, who were already waiting there, how to capture the prisoners. Mu Ketan asked: "Marshal Li, I have three thousand prisoners from your country I don’t know if Marshal Li has enough Jurchens to exchange with Ben.”

Li Gui sent the Jurchen women from Yizhou City to the West Bank military camp overnight, and together with the Jurchen women from Phoenix City, they managed to gather more than 500 people, and there were still a few hundred people left. Li Gui did not dare to ask Xue Jiajun for Jurchen women , when there are not enough Jurchen women to prepare, exchange them with Mongol women twice.

Li Gui said, "It should be enough for an exchange."

Mu Ketan said: "Marshal Li, the purpose of the general is to replace all the Jurchens. If you don't have enough people in North Korea, you should ask Xue's army for it. I believe Xue's army will not ignore it."

Li Gui couldn't help but look at Zuo Ming, Zuo Ming laughed and said, "Muktan, as long as you exchange all the soldiers and common people of my Ming Dynasty, if there are extra Jurchen women, everything can be discussed, you two should talk about business." .”

Mu Ketan understood what Zuo Ming meant, that he would consider exchanging the extra Jurchen women with the North Korean army after the Xue family army had finished exchanging the soldiers and civilians of Daming. It's hard to say what the effect will be.

Mu Ketan didn't want to be entangled in this issue, so he said to Li Gui: "How about this, we Jin Guo and you North Korea will each send out 100 people each time. After the two sides confirm their identities, they will each return to their own country's camp. Marshal Li, what do you think?"

Li Gui turned his eyes to Zuo Ming unconsciously after hearing this, which made Mu Ketan very unhappy. The North Korean army had become the puppets of the Xue family army. At this time, Zuo Ming said: "Muktan, why are you doing this?" Trouble, everyone, please be happy, just replace the person with three times and five times, maybe Marshal Li will pretend to be your Jurchen with a North Korean woman."

Mu Ketan thought for a while and said, "What if Marshal Li traded for other women."

Zuo Ming laughed loudly: "Muktan, you have a good idea, how can Deputy Commander Li have my Daming woman? Even some Mongolian women are prettier than your Jurchen mothers and aunts. Deputy Commander Li has no reason to do such a loss-making business. "

Mu Ketan said with anger on his face: "General Zuo, I respect you as a good man, why did you hurt others with your words?"

Zuo Ming said: "Mu Ketan, this general is telling the truth. I didn't expect the Jurchen's "Batulu" to be so wordy, he doesn't look like a straightforward person at all."

Zuo Ming was worried that Yuetuo, a prisoner inlaid with a red flag, would come to join Amin soon, and wanted to quickly deal with the exchange of prisoners, so he used words to stimulate Mu Ketan. Mu Ketan was belittled by Zuo Ming. He was proud of being the "Batulu" of the Jin Kingdom, so he couldn't bear Zuo Ming's vicious words, so he demanded a swap of 500 people on the spot, without mentioning the identity verification of the captives on both sides.

After Zuo Ming, Li Gui, and Mu Ketan negotiated, the three returned to their respective formations to arrange the exchange of prisoners. A quarter of an hour later, the North Korean army escorted out five hundred Jurchen women, and there was a slight delay in setting up the inlaid blue flag. After a while, five hundred North Korean soldiers in ragged clothes were escorted out.

The Jurchen woman and the Korean captives stopped at the middle line of the two armies, and after attacking the simple Wabie of the soldiers on both sides, the Korean army and the Jianlu soldiers both made the decision to let them go, so the Jurchen woman rushed to the Jianlu army formation, and the North Korean soldiers also He quickly ran to his own country's army, and the exchange of the first batch of prisoners was successfully completed.

After Mu Ketan agreed to an exchange of 500 people, Mu Ketan went back and reported to Amin. Amin felt that there was something wrong, but he didn't say it. He just ordered his subordinates to strengthen their vigilance. The Jurchen girl didn't have any problems, so she was relieved and let Mu Ketan take care of it.

The next exchange was very fast. A team of 500 captives from both sides assembled in the middle, waited for the approval of one side, and then quickly returned to the arms of their compatriots. However, during the exchange of prisoners four or five times, there were many The number of wounded and stretchers has greatly reduced the exchange speed between the two sides.

Now that the Jurchen women of the Korean army have been exchanged, there are still about [-] Korean soldiers who have not returned. Li Gui rode to the middle line to discuss with Mu Ketan, expressing his willingness to exchange more Mongolian women for the remaining North Korean soldiers. As a prisoner, Mu Ketan still hopes that Li Gui will ask Xue Jiajun for a Jurchen woman.

Seeing that Li Gui was recruiting, Zuo Ming came between Li Gui and Mu Ketan. Zuo Ming learned that it was Li Gui and Mu Ketan who wanted Xue Jiajun to exchange Jurchen women. Zuo Ming agreed with this suggestion, but Zuo Ming asked for The soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty in Xianglan Banner's hands exchanged together, Mu Ketan pointed to agree, Mu Ketan waved back, and soon Jianlu soldiers escorted out more than 200 people.

Zuo Ming asked: "Muktan, are all the Ming soldiers and civilians here?"
