- Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
The wild ducks in the reeds were frightened and sprang out, flapping their wings and flying further away.
On the faces of dozens of Hou Jin detectives, they displayed those arrogant smiles.
Just an hour or half an hour ago, they found several families on the north side of the reed marsh. After a lot of killing, the men and children of those families fell into a pool of blood.
The only one who survived was the woman tied behind the horse.
These families in the reed swamp were originally residents of Jincheng. Since the destruction of Jincheng, they have lived in reed swamps.
Originally, such a life was a leisurely one, and as long as they were careful, there wouldn't be any danger.
After all, after the ruins of Jincheng, Hou Jin also lost interest in this place and would not send anyone here at all.
So, hiding in the reeds is a good idea.
The wild animal resources in the Northland are very rich these days. The various wild animals in the reed swamps alone are enough to feed these families.
In addition, they can also secretly go to Koryo and exchange prey with the Koryo people for some daily necessities and salt, and their small life is quite leisurely.
However, since Zhao Hongyu arrived in Jincheng and started to rebuild Jincheng, Jincheng has gradually become lively.
Therefore, this inevitably attracted Hou Jin¡¯s attention.
With the passage of time and the feedback from Houjin¡¯s reconnaissance intelligence, Houjin¡¯s senior officials discovered that Jincheng had suddenly become a wealthy place.
Grandma¡¯s, since she is rich. Then I'll just grab it.
The thinking of Houjin¡¯s senior management is very simple.
However, before conducting military operations against Jincheng. There is still a lot to do in terms of financing.
For example, investigate the military strength and deployment here in Jincheng and grasp the military strength of Jincheng.
Therefore, a large number of Houjin reconnaissance cavalry were sent to the vicinity of Jincheng. As a result, the Ming people who were originally hiding around Jincheng were out of luck.
They do not trust the officials of the Ming Dynasty and are afraid of the barbarians of the Hou Jin Dynasty. They just want to live a life without fighting against the world.
but. The wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Furthermore, the people scattered around Jincheng knew that the person involved in what was happening in Jincheng was not the imperial court at all.
¡°However, we cannot blame these people for having such thoughts.
After all, the Ming Dynasty had too many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which were really unaffordable.
¡°The years these people have been hiding outside can be said to be the most comfortable days they have ever lived.
There is no oppression from landlords, officials, and government servants. There are not so many exorbitant taxes and levies that make people breathless.
So, even though Jincheng has begun construction, these people are still unwilling to leave their place of residence.
Zhao Hongyu understood this very well and did not embarrass these people at all.
The consequences of doing so are very terrible.
Hou Jin¡¯s reconnaissance cavalry investigated Jincheng. Those who carry them along will cause damage to these scattered homes.
Robbery and killing are simply commonplace things for these Houjin detectives.
After dozens of Houjin scouts rushed out of the reed swamp, they found a place where the reeds were not so dense, and then straightened their horses.
Several guys who looked like small bosses surrounded a man who seemed to have some identity. The remaining dozens of people began to move things off their horses neatly. And began to light a fire and bury the pot.
The unconscious woman was thrown aside. Obviously these people don't want to do anything to her yet.
The expressions on the faces of these Houjin detectives were very relaxed. While they were busy, they kept talking and joking with each other. From time to time, they burst into unbridled laughter, which frightened the birds that were constantly flying out of the dense reeds in the distance. .
Most of the people were busy, while the young leaders of the reconnaissance team were talking to the side.
"Adali, we have been out for a while. The Ming people here in Jincheng don't seem to be very well defended. Should we continue to get closer?"
A lean, middle-aged man with a mustache said to a man with a tall, majestic face.
The man with the Chinese character¡¯s face is called Adali, and he is the leader of the scout cavalry.
People like him are not considered high-status people in Houjin.
It is precisely because of this that the middle-aged man with a mustache, will call him by his first name.
??????? Adali didn¡¯t take it seriously at all.
They are all bannermen who belong to the Zhenglan Banner, and their families live very close to each other, so they are all considered neighbors.
They are all very familiar people, so there is not so much emphasis on them.
"What do you guys think of Dalan's proposal?"
Adali did not respond to the mustache proposal, but threw out the mustache proposal and left it to everyone to decide together.
There are five people gathered together, and they are the core of this scout team.
Basically, as long as the five of them make a unanimous decision, the fate of this team can be decided.
The other scouts who were not qualified to participate were not interested in what these five people were talking about. They were still busy with their own affairs.
A proposed stove was built, with a large iron pot placed on it.
Someone had already started to light a fire, and bursts of black smoke began to spiral into the sky.
Some people began to take a bag from the horse and poured some rice from the bag, while others took out some dry food and walked over.
A few others took off their bows and arrows and started shooting fish at the water's edge.
What I have to say is that the Northland of this era has not been polluted and destroyed, and its ecological resources are really very rich.
Crucian carp as big as an adult's palm were swimming under the reeds, so the scouts who caught fish soon had a big harvest.
At this time, the three scouts who disappeared into the reeds also came back carrying two wild ducks.
Looking at the rich harvest, the smiles on their faces became even brighter.
Adali glanced at his busy companions in the distance. Then he withdrew his gaze.
"Gedahun's team arrived at the gates of Jincheng half a month ago and made some very provocative actions towards Mingren in Jincheng. However, Mingren didn't have much reaction, unlike what we encountered before. There is no difference between Mingren. So I agree with Dalan¡¯s proposal. We should get closer. I don¡¯t think there is any danger. "
Soon, a relatively younger man spoke.
"I also agree. The Ming people are all weak guys, so there is no need to worry too much about anything. There are sixty of us. Even if we encounter hundreds of Ming troops, we don't need to be afraid. They will collapse with just one charge. ."
Another guy agreed to Hu Dalan¡¯s proposal, and also mocked the Ming army with sarcasm.
"However, you can't say that what he said is nonsense. Basically, this is how the Ming army faced the Eight Banners soldiers many times.
Usually, you can see such scenes in various battlefields and battles between the Ming Army and Hou Jin Dynasty.
"Three or four Eight Banners soldiers can chase two to three hundred Ming troops everywhere This is definitely not a fabrication.
The soldiers of the Ming army were bullied in the army. I have to be constantly squeezed by my superiors, and at the same time I am not full for a long time and my body cannot keep up with nutrition. This is also the main reason.
In addition, the Eight Banners soldiers wore three pieces of cotton armor and were very fierce after rushing up. Therefore, it is very normal for the Ming army to be defeated without fighting spirit.
The main thing is that no one wants to work hard.
However, this situation occurs more often. Hou Jin's Eight Banners soldiers gradually gained confidence and became more and more brave.
On the other hand, the Ming army became increasingly weak and its combat effectiveness became lower and lower.
This is simply a disgusting cycle.
Even in the later stages, a few Eight Banners soldiers launched a charge against hundreds of Ming troops. The Ming army would turn around and flee when the enemy launched a charge, and would not fight the opponent at all.
It is precisely because of this. Only then came the so-called saying that if the Eight Banners are less than ten thousand, they will be invincible if they are full of ten thousand.
In fact, anyone with a brain knows that the problem here is very complicated. It is not that the Eight Banners soldiers are really that fierce and their combat effectiveness is sky-high.
We all have one head and two arms, there is no difference.
When Adali saw that everyone agreed with Hu Dalan¡¯s proposal, he glanced around the group of people with serious eyes.
Finally, he reminded everyone in a solemn tone: "Yes, the Ming army is indeed not terrible. They are even worse than lambs. At least the lambs will resist when they know they are going to be killed, but the Ming people will only stretch their necks and wait. Die. But"
Listening to Adali's words, Dalan and others gradually smiled on their faces.
? ?However, unexpectedly, Adali said, there was a 'but' in the end.
But any normal person knows that no matter what words there are as long as a 'but' appears, then there will be some unexpected changes.
Therefore, Dalan and the others¡¯ smiles froze.
Unlike Adali, Dalan and the others heard half a month ago that Ge Dalhun, the leader of another scout cavalry, and his people actually arrived at Jincheng City and made provocations against the Ming army. , all felt very envious.
Especially after Ge Da returned to Shengjing, he was heavily rewarded.
So, they are called envy and jealousy.
¡°However, not everyone has the courage like Ge Dahun.
Dozens of reconnaissance teams were very careful and tried not to get close to Jincheng.
Who knows if Ge Dahun was just lucky enough to survive unscathed.
No matter what, after investigation, everyone knows that the number of Ming troops in Jincheng is around 30,000 to 40,000.
Reconnaissance cavalry like them can deal with a small group of Ming troops, but once the Ming army dispatches most of their troops, they will have no choice but to flee.
Invincible?
That¡¯s just bragging13.
Ge Dahun received a generous reward, and Dalan and the others were quite envious.
Therefore, they also discussed in private that since Lao Ge can do it, why can't they do it.
So, here comes today¡¯s proposal from Dalan.
But the problem is, if Adali, who has a slightly higher official position than everyone else, disagrees, this matter will become more troublesome.
??Especially from what Adali said, it seems that his thoughts are different from everyone else's.
"Adali, if you have any worries, just tell me." Because they are familiar with each other and are neighbors in the village, Dalan doesn't pay too much attention to Adali's attitude.
Adali nodded and continued.
"But please don't forget that our emperor suffered a disastrous defeat at the capital of the Ming Dynasty three months ago. The people who defeated him had weird costumes and strange fighting methods, which were very different from the Ming army "
As soon as Adali said these words, Dalan suddenly became thoughtful. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
