The river beach here is a branch of the Taizi River. Not far away, there is a post station of the original Ming army, which the locals call Hupi Post. Before Nurhachi massacred the Han people in Liaodong, there was a fertile farmland around Hupi Post because of the irrigation of the Taizi River. Now it is
It's a deserted area.
I wonder if there were too many Han people who died by the Taizi River, and God became angry, causing the Taizi River to flood every once in a while, turning the former fertile fields into wasteland, making it uninhabitable for humans and animals. Now, this
There are reeds and dead grass everywhere on the river beach. Only a few birds that have not spent the winter fly into the sky like a sudden glimpse. If you look carefully, you can vaguely see a few bird nests in the reeds.
When Mang Gurtai arrived, he saw a tragic scene. There were countless corpses lying on the river beach, including men and women, old and young. The death conditions were extremely miserable. There were hundreds of corpses floating on the river. It seemed that the situation was desperate.
He jumped into the river to escape and was drowned instead. The flag soldiers had already searched and found no one alive. Even the baby in the bag was trampled to death. It was extremely cruel and cruel.
Mang Gurtai's face was livid and he didn't say anything. In his sight, a woman's body in the middle of the river still retained the appearance of her struggle before death. She was holding a piece of wood with one hand, but was holding on tightly with the other.
Grabbing a bag filled with something. It can be seen from her appearance before she died that she was not drowned, but was frozen to death by the cold river water that chilled her muscles, because her face was covered with frostbite
The ice stubble.
Most of the bannermen on the river beach were hacked to death, and a small half were hit hard with some sharp object. The sharp object was obviously very powerful, and it hit the head of the corpse until it bloomed. Some of them did not bloom.
It also had a large dent in it, and the good-looking head turned into a dissimilar object, and the appearance of the facial features was also out of shape, making people sick to see it.
These people who died on the river beach were all bannermen returning from the north of Liaoyang City. Like Manggurtai's men, most of them belonged to the Xianglan Banner. It can be said that everyone who died was as good as Manggurtai's bannermen.
Because of the relationship, some of them were blood relatives. The flag soldiers who found the bodies of their relatives screamed and cried on the spot, and they were in pain. For a while, countless cries sounded on the river beach, their voices were hoarse, and it made people feel sad to hear them.
hurt.
But the Ming army not far away seemed like a group of hard-hearted people. They listened to the wailing of the flag soldiers as if they had not heard them, and they seemed to have not seen the miserable state of the corpses. They only stood on their horses and looked at their "allies" coldly.
"Army" screamed in pain. In the crowd, there were still several Ming soldiers pointing at the corpses of the bannermen, with smiles on their faces. As long as the careful banner soldiers paid a little attention, they would find that those Ming soldiers were in the hands of the soldiers.
The three-eyed gun seemed to be stained with some flesh and blood.
"Who did it, who did it!"
Mang Gurtai's face was very gloomy, and his cheeks were twitching constantly. It was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart. He had witnessed the untimely death of his own people, and the death was so miserable that no one could remain indifferent.
"Ama, these people were blocked on the river beach by cavalry." Ebilun reminded his Ama in a low voice, but he looked at the Ming army's team out of the corner of his eye, with an obviously vigilant look on his face.
"You mean..."
Although Ebilun didn't explain what he said, why couldn't Mang Gurtai understand what he wanted to say? If the murderer was really the Ming army, wouldn't it mean that Shi Dayong had deceived him? If Shi Dayong had been deceiving him, how could he?
no?...
Just when Mang Ertai's face was filled with doubts and fear, Shi Dayong and his guards came running over on horseback. After a rough glance at the river beach, Dayong pointed his horsewhip at the corpses.
He said without any scruples: "I think at this moment Big Belle must have thought that these people were killed by my subordinates?"
No matter how doubtful Mang Gurtai was, he never thought that Shi Dayong would directly clarify his words. He was slightly startled, and instinctively denied it: "I didn't mean this. General, please don't think too much."
"Since I arrived in Liaoyang, I have strictly abided by the treaty between the two parties. Since I have promised Da Beile to let these people live, I will not break my promise. So Da Beile can rest assured that the death of these people is not the intention of our Ming army.
Why." Having said this, Dayong paused for a moment, and then asked: "Actually, if I insist on killing these people, I'm afraid Big Belle will eventually agree. In this case, why should I be a villain who breaks his promise and goes behind his back?
Where are you doing this sneaky thing?"
Mang Gurtai was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer Dayong. Seeing that he was silent, Dayong reminded: "Actually, by whom these people were killed, Dabeile should be able to guess, but he just saw this tragic scene suddenly and was in the game.
That’s just what I didn’t expect.”
"Does the general know who killed these people?"
Ebilun didn't quite believe Shi Dayong. He instinctively believed that the death of these bannermen had something to do with him. After all, although this place is one day's journey from Liaoyang, it is three days' journey from Shenyang. Judging from the distance, only the Ming army
You can quickly catch up with these bannermen and kill them.
Mang Gurtai also had the same thoughts as his son, but after hearing what Shi Dayong said was strange, he suddenly started to think about it again.
Dayong originally thought that he would think according to his reminder, but Mang Gurtai couldn't think of anything for a long time, so he had to take action himself and said directly: "I thought that the death of these people was inseparable from Shenyang. I don't know that Dabeile
Do you believe it?"
"Shenyang?" Mang Gurtai was stunned, how could he be related to Shenyang? His face was full of doubts, and Ebilun was also confused. The father and son just looked at Dayong in a daze.
Rotten wood cannot be carved! Dayong cursed secretly and asked with a serious face: "Da Beile, think about it, after these Liaoyang bannermen return to Shenyang, will they bring more benefits or harm to Da Beile?"
"this...."
"Big Belle suddenly left Shenyang. There must be many people in Shenyang City who still don't know what happened. Therefore, if I were Daishan, I would strictly block all news about Big Belle, and I would never let anyone know that Big Belle has been with me.
The Ming Dynasty cooperated with the Ming Dynasty, so these people must not return to Shenyang, otherwise they will definitely leak the news about Big Belle's return to the Ming Dynasty, and will also bring the news of the fall of Liaoyang. In this way, the city of Shenyang will not be blown up, and people will be uneasy.
What can you use to defend the city?"
"Besides, after these people return to Shenyang, they will definitely promote the benevolence of the Great Beile. If they promote the benevolence of the Great Beile, how will Daishan handle themselves? Should they be allowed to say that Great Beile is good to everyone they meet, or should they not be allowed to say so?
Good? You must know that people's words are terrible. If everyone in Shenyang City says that Da Beile is good and that Da Beile has no choice but to return to the Ming Dynasty, then how many people in the city are willing to be enemies with Da Beile when he arrives outside the city?
?Will someone sympathize with Big Baile and secretly open the city gate to let Baile enter the city?"
After a series of rhetorical questions, Dayong threw out the most important sentence, "If it were Da Beile who was acting as a good deed, would it be better to let these bannermen return to Shenyang or kill them to avoid future troubles?"
Mang Gurtai and his son were speechless for a long time. For a long time, Mang Gurtai raised his head, looked at Shenyang City hatefully, and cursed: "Daishan, you are so vicious, I swear to be incompatible with you!"
Ebilun also figured it out. Yes, he would not let these bannermen return to Shenyang. Only by killing them can Shenyang City be stabilized and prevent someone in Shenyang City from being a traitor to my father and my son!
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, Big Belle will not be so cruel because of his brotherhood." After successfully diverting the disaster away, Dayong continued to provoke Gurtai.
"General, don't worry, there is no brotherhood between me and Daishan anymore. When he wanted to arrest me that day, he no longer treated me as a brother. I even had a grudge against him for killing his wife and son, so how could he spare his life so easily?" Kill him!"
"I swear to kill Daishan to avenge my mother-in-law!" Thinking of her mother-in-law's death, Ebi Lun's eyes instantly turned red.
