Chapter Eighty-Eighth: Sacrificing Your Life for Righteousness
The deputy commander-in-chief Zhen Guogong Prince Bai Qishan, who was ordered to rush to Fengcheng, rushed to Fengcheng without stopping and found that Fengcheng was safe and sound. The official of the Grain and Grass Prefecture said that the grain and grass had not arrived at Fengcheng, and the deputy general Liu Huanzhang stopped at Fengcheng and said that the grain and grass had entered Fengcheng.
The frontline military camp allows the officials of the Grain and Grass Prefecture not to worry.
The crown prince, Bai Qishan, knew that Liu Huanzhang had rebelled, so he turned around and rushed to help the Chuanling Mountains. Unexpectedly, Liu Huanzhang led 180,000 soldiers to ambush him halfway along the Luofeng Gorge Road. There was a huge disparity in the strength of the troops... Deputy Commander Bai Qishan, with 10,000 soldiers, was unable to parry and was seriously injured.
, led a thousand remaining soldiers back to Fengcheng.
Deputy Commander Bai Qishan was trapped in Fengcheng for five days and ran out of food. Liu Huanzhang captured the five Bai family members alive, stripped off their clothes, cut out their flesh and humiliated them in front of the battle array, in order to force Deputy Commander Bai Qishan to surrender. Bai Qishan was determined to delay the retreat of the people in Fengcheng and fought with Liu Huanzhang to delay, including
He raised his arrow in tears and killed the five sons of the Bai family.
Before the deputy commander Bai Qishan went to war, he asked the only son with elderly parents to take a step back, and the unmarried son to take a step back. The remaining... dared to die for the people of the Jin Dynasty, and went to fight with him to meet the enemy!
The seventeenth son of the Bai family, who was only ten years old, stepped forward with a sword, saying that he would sacrifice his own flesh and blood to fight for the people of Jin Dynasty with his father, and he would not live. The Bai family army was deeply affected by the ten-year-old child, and they all drew their swords and wanted to fight to the death to protect the people, calling Ning three times.
Fight to the death and live without mercy.
When King Xin of Nan Yan raided the camp with 50,000 troops, he even took away 3,000 soldiers and fled, leaving only 2,000 Bai family troops who were willing to fight to the death for the people with General Bai Qingyu of Gale Wind and delay the evacuation of the people in the rear.
Bai Qingyu sent 500 soldiers to evacuate the people, and took 1,500 soldiers to drink Zhuangxing wine, saying... Although we were born at different times, today we fight for the common people of the Jin Dynasty, and we are all blood brothers. After drinking all the wine, we will be together in the next life.
Goodbye!
Later, General Bai Qingyu of Gale Wind died together with 1,500 soldiers, and their bodies were burned.
The brave general Bai Qingming defended Feng County to the death, and the Nanyan army attacked the city. The brave general Bai Qingming claimed that millions of living people were behind him, and the Bai army fought with all their strength. They would not retreat until one person behind them was defeated! In order to disrupt the morale of the Jin army,
The head coach of Nanyan, Yun Poxing, beheaded the seventeenth son of the Bai family in front of the formation, disemboweled his body and disgraced the corpse. The stomachs of the seventeenth son of the Bai family were full of tree roots and dirt. Yun Poxing was shocked!
The Bai family army's murderous intention was aroused and they fought bravely to kill the enemy!
Even the accompanying historian who recorded the march records wrote such words in the last stroke...
"I am ashamed of the bloody nature of a ten-year-old child. At this time, even though I am a scholar, I dare to throw away my pen and hold my sword! Wrap my body in horse leather... go away!"
After reading the six volumes of bamboo slips, in front of the Wude Gate... everyone in the Bai family and most of the people had already burst into tears.
Bai Qingyan held up the six volumes of blood-stained bamboo slips with his marching records in both hands, and shouted loudly: "The food and grass in southern Xinjiang have not been seen, and the deputy general Liu Huanzhang has betrayed the country! Bai Weiting, the king of Xin, was greedy for meritorious service and the Duke of Zhenguo went to war, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in southern Xinjiang.
, but put the blame on the Duke of Zhen, saying that the Duke of Zhen was headstrong in using the army. I beg Your Majesty to give justice to the heroic spirit, and to return the loyal bones to white blood! Capture Liu Huanzhang, kill King Xin, uphold the law of the country, and calm the people's hearts!"
After hearing this, the gatekeeper commander was also filled with indignation and tears filled his eyes. He looked back and signaled kindly to the eldest princess: "Princess, please knock thirty sticks on the Dengwen drum! Let the third girl stop first!"
"Knock!" Bai Qingyan stood up with eyes as bright as a torch, "I'll take the thirty sticks this time! Even if I die outside the Wude Gate today, I still need this clanging drum sound to reach heaven!"
She knelt on one knee at the front in the posture of receiving a military stick, staring intently at the majestic and impressive Butokumon in front of her.
Over the years, the Denwen Drum standing here has become nothing more than a symbol. No one has ever dared to step forward to beat the drum.
The executioner held a big stick in his hand and held it firmly. His heart was filled with emotions. After hearing how the Bai family man died, how could he keep hitting this stick?!
The weak and beautiful woman in front of him was the widow of the Bai family! This really made him unable to do anything.
But if you can't do it, you have to do it, just keep a little discretion on your wrist.
"Miss Dabai, the rules come first, I have to take action and please forgive me!"
The imperial staff was raised high and fell with restraint...
The sap struck directly with the wind. Bai Qingyan clenched her fists tightly and almost fell to the ground. She bit her gums and felt a sweet smell in her chest.
"I'll take it! I'm strong! I'll take it!" Bai Jinzhi stepped forward to stop the long stick, knelt down in a row with Bai Qingyan, and said to the executioner, "My eldest sister was injured when she killed thieves that year.
My health is not good to begin with, I’ll do it!”
"I beat the drum! Of course I am the one who will be punished!" Bai Jintong beat the drum hard and his men kept beating.
"We sisters... will suffer together!" Bai Jinxiu also knelt beside Bai Qingyan, "We have suffered a lot from military sticks, but we are still afraid of this little imperial staff?!"
A man who was kneeling in the crowd with tears streaming down his face stood up, walked out from the crowd, knelt down and said, "I'm here to bear the imperial stick for the Bai family girl! All the men of the Bai family died fighting for the country, how can it be that the Bai family's widow also wants to
Are you going to die to seek justice?! The Bai family is loyal and loyal... Your Majesty must give justice to the Bai family!"
"I'm coming! Liu Huanzhang, a treacherous man who colluded with King Xin to treason, took credit for his crimes and blamed himself, but also humiliated the body of a hero who sacrificed his life for the Jin Dynasty! The men of the Bai family dare to bury their corpses for the country and the people, and I also dare to sacrifice my life for the sake of justice for the Bai family!"
The white-faced scholar has already stood up: "Well said! What a man who sacrifices his life for righteousness! I am a scholar. They all say that a scholar is useless. Today, I have given up my useless body, just hoping that the heroic spirit and loyal soul can get justice!"
The scholar's words aroused public sentiment, and even women and children couldn't help crying, especially women with children. When they thought of the fate of the ten-year-old child of the Seventeenth Prince of the Bai family, and of the four people who almost crashed into the coffin and died.
Madam, she also stood up and said she would take a beating for the Bai family.
The people were furious and, inspired by the chivalry of the first few people, responded one after another.
Bai Jinzhi looked back at the people who had stood up for the Bai family. Her heart seemed to be filled with waves of terror. Tears fell in large drops, and her throat was so choked that she couldn't even say a single word of thanks.
She suddenly remembered what her eldest sister had taught her in Qinghui Courtyard on the first day of junior high school...
——With no one in our court, we are already in dire straits. If we no longer have the support of the people, we will be doomed! This... is the outcome of the people behind this matter who want to see my Bai family!
It turns out that this... is the people's support that the eldest sister wants! It turns out that the aspirations of the people are so powerful and vast.
The surging blood in her heart slowly closed her knuckles, as bright as a revelation... No wonder the eldest sister, who was once taciturn, took the trouble to count the Bai family's achievements in front of others and express the Bai family's patriotism for the country and the people.
In the past, the Bai family did a lot and said little, and the people took it for granted.
Now, when the eldest sister tells the story of what the Bai family has done for the Jin Kingdom and the people of the Jin Kingdom, the people... burst into tears of gratitude.
As the saying goes, a child who cries gets milk, and this is true.
"I'm coming too. I'm strong and strong. No matter how many times the third girl from the Bai family knocks me, I'm here to stand by the military stick!"
