Four hundred and seventieth chapters not my race divided into three groups
Gao Yingxiang spoke sadly, and all the leaders felt sad. Thinking of the brothers who had died under the swords of officers and soldiers over the years, they all subconsciously put down their drinking bowls.
Ma Shouying, who was wearing a white hat and looked like he was dead in the family, patted his chest and said with a smile: "Why would Prince Chuang say such depressing words! As long as I am still breathing, I can fight the government with swords and guns. Killing one is enough to earn money, but killing a pair to earn one is better than asking the government to take good care of them."
He then said: "What are you afraid of when Hong Chengchou comes? If he dares to come to Henan, we will take the opportunity to raid his lair and return to his hometown in Shaanxi!" After saying that, he drank a bowl of wine and tore off the pig's trotters without blinking an eye. stand up.
"Does this meat taste good to Lao Huihui?" Ge Liyan He Yilong usually disliked Lao Huihui the most and couldn't help but ridicule him.
The old man smiled but did not answer, but he was very angry in his heart.
.........
This old man, Ma Shouying, is a descendant of Semu in Suide, Shaanxi Province. During the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, the Semu people were the accomplices and thugs of Mongolia in oppressing the Han people. Mongolia divided the world into four classes. The first class were Mongolians, the second class were Semu people, and the third class were Han people. (all ethnic groups under the former Jin Dynasty), while the Han people in the Southern Song Dynasty were called Nanren and ranked at the bottom.
The status of the Semu people among the four classes of people is actually very subtle. Due to the Mongolians' attachment to the values of grassland life, their degree of Chineseization was very low, so the Semu people were fully appointed and became the middlemen for the Mongols to rule China. Among the Mongols Therefore, they trust them because they know that their status in China is completely dependent on their Mongolian masters. Therefore, the Semu people are also extremely loyal to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. They are even more cruel to the Han people than the Mongols. They are known among the people as the "Semu Er Tatars".
After the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor, deeply resented that his lustful eyes would return to aid Zhou in his abuses, and decreed that "Barbarians and Di are just beasts. Therefore, Confucius despised them and thought that although there was a king in that country, he did not know the etiquette of the king and his ministers, and the divisions between superiors and inferiors led to endless fights. China would perish without a king. , it must not be like this. It is better to have a king than to have all the Xia's people die."
In Taizu's imperial edict, Semu Huihui was listed among Yi and Di, and it was stipulated that Mongolians and Semu people of the same race were not allowed to marry each other. When the "Da Ming Code" was promulgated in the sixth year of Hongwu, this edict was included in it and was enforced. For this reason, Bu Bu was killed. I hope that tens of thousands of people will be able to return to the Chinese language.
Taizu also issued an edict in the seventh year of Hongwu that "the whole country should restore clothes and hats like those made in the Tang Dynasty", and "all braided hair and buns, Hu clothes, Hu language, and Hu surnames were prohibited" for Mongolian, Semu and other ethnic minorities.
Not only did Taizu hate Hui Hui, but Ming officials at that time were wary of Hui Hui, thinking that they were not trustworthy. They said that when the Hui Hui people were young, they did not dare to cause trouble and were very submissive to the government. However, when there were many people, they would kill all the local Han people, and their brutality was comparable to that of Hui Hui. beast.
In the ninth year of Hongwu, Zeng Bingzheng, the Confucian scholar of Haizhou in Huai'an Prefecture, said: "Looking at recent Mongolian people, most of them have changed their surnames to Han surnames, which is no different from the Chinese. Some are seeking to be officials, some are prominent, and some are wealthy businessmen. The ancients said, "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different." Ande has no hidden evil intentions or slanderous complaints. It is appropriate to order the surname to be restored, and to eliminate any negative remarks, so that the common people can recognize it, consider and deal with it. Soldiers and those who live nearby are allowed to retreat."
What Zeng Bingzheng said in his book is actually just one sentence. The imperial court must not believe that those Huihui are not of my race, and their hearts must be different. The only way to make them obey completely is to use heavy rituals and swords.
Taizu was overjoyed when Zeng Bingzheng submitted a letter, and he was promoted to Si Wen Jian Cheng. Under Taizu's strong attack, the Hui religious beliefs and customs were eradicated with severe legal means. The Hui people who immigrated to the mainland were assimilated by the Mongols. Just assimilate, but if you can't assimilate, take strict precautions. All the large and small Qingzhen temples that once spread throughout the Mongolian Yuan territory were destroyed.
The local government also specifically stipulated prohibitions on the Huihui not to carry weapons, not to gather in groups, and not to loot. If the Huihui violated the Ming law, the crime would be heavier than that of the Han people.
At the same time, Taizu issued an edict to castrate a large number of Huihui to prevent their ethnic group from multiplying and growing, so as to avoid future troubles.
The Huihui often belong to a very different ethnic group, respecting their customs and teachings, but they have not been transformed into our Chinese culture. They are only bound by their bodies. This is the consensus of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.
When Chengzu Yongle raised an army to quell the calamity, Hui Hui helped him in the army and among his servants. Therefore, after he became king, he changed Taizu's severe crackdown on Hui Hui and instead tolerated Hui Hui, allowed him to restore his faith, and built steaming temples in various places.
, for a moment Semu regained his arrogance and became arrogant again. They were ungrateful and thought it was their duty.
This old Hui Hui Ma Shouying is from Suide, Shaanxi Province. Yan'an Prefecture and Suidezhou in the north, as well as Pingliang and Qingyang in the east of Gansu Province, are areas where Hui Hui are more distributed. After Yongle, there were six large-scale Hui Hui rebellions.
That is, he hated the Han people and hated the Ming Dynasty. After Gao Yingxiang raised his troops to rebel, the local Huihui also joined forces and killed officials and Han people. They joined forces with Gao Yingxiang and named themselves the First Battalion. When Gao Yingxiang first rebelled, he was alone.
I am happy to receive help from you again and again.
Wherever the bandits went, they killed the most in Huihui camp. They not only killed innocent Han people, but also robbed Han women for sex and pleasure. They also liked to eat the breasts of Han women, calling them a delicacy in heaven.
Hui Hui camp left no grass behind, so the bandits among them were very dissatisfied with Hui Hui camp. However, many of Lao Hui Hui's soldiers were frontier soldiers. They were good at riding and were the most powerful among the bandits.
Therefore, although they were dissatisfied with Lao Huihui, the leaders still did not want to conflict with Huihui, so it was inevitable to make some sarcastic remarks when they met.
Although Ma Shouying was cruel, he really had a view of the overall situation. He knew that now that the leaders of various families were revolting against the government and the army, they must not start fighting among themselves, otherwise they would definitely be defeated by the government. Therefore, he generally did not get angry at the leaders' ridicule.
He can still smile when he is in a good mood, which is considered a man. (Ma Shouying persisted in the rebellion until Li Zicheng's death)
.........
Gao Yingxiang saw that Lao Huihui was targeting Lao Huihui with a sharp eye, and was afraid of spoiling the peace, so he changed the matter and said: "Hong Chengchou is not an ordinary person. We have been dealing with him for many years and have not obtained any benefits. This matter is by no means so easy.
"
After Ma Shou answered, he wiped the oil stains on his hands on his body, shook it a few more times and said: "If you can fight, fight, if you can't fight, run away. As long as we get into the mountains, the ditches are deep and the forests are dense, even the Hong barbarians can't do anything to us!"
"
"Lao Huihui is really old, and all the heroic spirit of the past is gone!"
Zhang Xianzhong didn't like Lao Huihui either. He threw the pig leg in his hand on the table, raised his eyes and looked at Ma Shouying, and said with a smile: "If you are afraid of Hongmanzi, why bother to flee all the way back to Shaanxi and only hide in my camp?"
Just go to the back, we, Lao Zhang, guarantee that the officers and soldiers will not hurt you at all!"
In terms of qualifications, Ma Shouying was slightly inferior to Gao Yingxiang, let alone a newcomer like Zhang Xianzhong? His face immediately darkened and he said angrily: "Zhang Jingxuan, we usually praise you as a good man, but now you say such outrageous things
What do you mean by those words? When we were licking blood with the blade of a knife and proud of the mountains and forests, you were just a young boy, so what do you know about the importance?"
Zhang Xianzhong heard him boasting about his qualifications and couldn't help but sneered: "Why do you need to comment on whether it's important or not? I'm not as timid as you."
"You are so courageous! If only you had half the ability to blow the sky, we all can rely on you, and we don't have to wander southward to the Central Plains like this. Those who rely on their brute strength and are brave and fierce will not be in our eyes. Are you here? Haven't you ever experienced Hong Manzi's methods? Why bother talking about big words here? If you kill the generals and troops, you will naturally have people who obey you, and you can make a name for yourself! Otherwise, just stay in the circle and learn less. You idiot, Heng Heng, can only call others evil, forgetting that he is covered in pickled stinky pig hair!"
"What the hell are you talking about? You're a coward and you're trying to pull other people's strings. You're more ambitious than your age. Your face of relying on your elders and selling them out is really laughable!" Zhang Xianzhong responded tit for tat, not afraid of old age coming back.
Ma Shouying had been a rogue in his early years, and had served as a knife-edge soldier for several years in the frontier army. After the rebellion, he had killed countless people. How could he tolerate Zhang Xianzhong's unscrupulous humiliation in front of him? Huo stood up, his face flushed, and he drew his sword and cursed. He said: "I'm going to meet you today to see who's the best!"
Zhang Xianzhong had an impatient temper, and it was not easy for him to get angry in front of everyone because of his own troubles. But seeing how hard he was fighting, how could he be willing to show weakness? In his helplessness and eagerness, he could not pull out the knife from his waist, so he greeted him with the pig leg in his hand.
Everyone was shocked, and Gao Yingxiang shouted: "Don't hurt the harmony!"
Ge Liyan He Yilong, King Zuo Jin He Jin and Zhang Xianzhong have been close friends for many years, how could they be willing to see him suffer a loss? They both rushed out, stopped between the two, and pulled them back to their seats.
The two of them looked at each other angrily and indignantly.
Although Gao Yingxiang is the king of Chuang, and the leaders of all the families must obey his orders, he is not the real leader of these people after all, so it is hard to blame him. He can only advise: "Now that the enemy is facing us, we only prepared a few glasses of water." Drink, one is to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and the other is to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy. Today I invite you all to come together. Do not look down on me, share the same hatred of the enemy, and do not get into trouble. Don't take today's matters to your heart. Gently uncover it. In the green forest, the word "righteousness" comes first. If we each take a step back and think about it, we will no longer have any grudges in our hearts."
"Run, run, run... I have been hiding everywhere in Shaanxi. After leaving Shaanxi, I am still chasing rabbits. When will I find a place to stay?"
Zhang Xianzhong drank the whole bowl of Shangkuchun, rolled up his wide sleeves, exposed his two muscular arms, hit the table hard, and said angrily: "What we do is licking blood with the tip of a knife." , If you are afraid of death, don’t come out to be a leader and pull the mountain! A real man should dominate the world and do some vigorous things. Only then will he be happy. How can he live in the world and look at other people’s faces!"
The more Ma Shouying listened, the more dissatisfied he became. He raised his eyebrows and retorted: "We, Lao Hui, are also famous people. How can we look at other people's faces when we are such a well-known man?"
Zhang Xianzhong sneered and said, "You don't have to tell me whether you want to look at other people's faces or not. I must have more people under my command and my life is more valuable."
Everyone heard them arguing endlessly, fearing that the more the quarrel would become more tense and they would become enemies, if they went back and mobilized their troops to fight, a catastrophe would be inevitable.
When the leaders saw Gao Yingxiang, they knitted their brows and said nothing. They thought that their qualifications and expectations were not up to par, and they didn't know how to persuade them. They were afraid that they would be so angry that they would not appreciate the favor and would be unhappy with themselves. Everyone had this idea. , looking at each other, sitting quietly and watching, not knowing what to do.
Seeing the awkward situation, Li Zicheng hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Brother Jingxuan is full of tiger courage. Who in the world knows this? But when Brother Ma said he would return to his hometown in Shaanxi, he was not afraid of the sword. He was afraid of the Hong Barbarians."
"Brother, what are you saying? Could it be that my brother has wrongly blamed him?" Zhang Xianzhong looked increasingly unhappy when he saw that Li Zicheng seemed to be trying to help Ma Shouying.
Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Brother said something serious, but I never meant it. It's just that I thought what Brother Ma said was profound. It's a clever plan."
"What's the clever plan?" Zhang Xianzhong's expression softened, and Ma Shouying was also a little stunned. He, Gao Yingxiang and others looked at Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng raised his hands to everyone and said, "What Brother Ma said implies a plan to criticize the weak and exaggerate. Is this what you just said, Master Gu?"
"What does it mean to criticize the weak and criticize the weak?" Most of the leaders here are poor and humble people who have never read books. How can they save money? For a moment, they all stared at Gu Junen.
Gu Junen saw Gao Yingxiang smile slightly and knew that he already knew what he meant. He took a few steps forward and saluted with his hands crossed: "King Chuang, all the leaders, Xiao Ke is showing off. Sun Tzu said: A soldier is like water, and the water is like water." The shape avoids heights and tends downwards, the shape of soldiers avoids reality and attacks the weak. Water is controlled by the ground, and soldiers are controlled by the enemy. "Historical Records: Biography of Sun Tzu Wu Qi" says: The rescuer does not use the halberd, but criticizes the strong and suppresses the weak. , if the situation is forbidden, then you can explain it yourself. It means..." Seeing that everyone was confused, he knew that these people who were farmers and soldiers did not like to chew words, so he laughed twice and said: "It is better to leave it to the leaders. Good explanation, so that Xiao Ke won’t drop his book bag again, and the Eight Kings will scold the eight generations of their ancestors again.” He clasped his fists and stepped back.
Li Zicheng explained: "What Jun En said is actually a strategy to avoid the real and attack the weak. Now that Hong Manzi has led his elite troops out of Tongguan, Shaanxi will definitely be empty. If we take advantage of the weak point and enter, we can kill him with a carbine, which is tantamount to holding his nose." Walk……"
"That's right, that's what we said!" Ma Shouying clapped his hands and shouted before Li Zicheng finished speaking.
Li Zicheng waved his hand and said: "Brother Ma's strategy is good. We are very familiar with Shaanxi and can deal with the officers and soldiers with our eyes closed. There are just two disadvantages that Brother Ma must not have considered."
Hearing what Li Zicheng said, Ma Shouying was immediately disappointed.
Seeing that Ma Shouying seemed disappointed, Li Zicheng hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Brother Ma, please forgive me for being arrogant. Now the total number of men and horses in the 72 battalions of the 13 families is more than 200,000. Compared with the Central Plains, the terrain of Shaanxi is small. Secondly, there has been a severe drought in Shaanxi for several years, and hundreds of thousands of troops have poured in, not to snatch food from the mouths of the elders. Even if all the food and grass from Sanqin were given to us, we would not be able to last for a few days, fearing that we would not be able to wait for the government troops to pursue us. We have already broken up."
After everyone heard what he said, they were at a loss what to do. Zhang Xianzhong shouted: "Then let's wait for work and have a big fight with the Hong barbarians."
"It can't be like this. Hong Manzi leads elite soldiers who are accustomed to fighting, and we all lead old camps with wives who are sick and disabled. We are in the way and it is inconvenient to fight with them head-on."
Zhang Xianzhong slapped the table and said: "Brother Zicheng, we can't go back to Shaanxi, and we can't fight forcefully. What else can we do? Isn't it just another false surrender? That Hongmanzi kills without blinking an eye, he won't surrender us. It's better than us Go southwest to Sichuan, guard the sword pass, and live a free and easy life."
"Fake surrender is of course not possible. Hong Manzi made his fortune by killing people and is ruthless. If we pretend to surrender, it will be a dead end. The road to Shu is dangerous and difficult, and we may not be able to conquer it in haste. If Hong Barbarian follows us, we will be attacked from both sides..."
"Since I have a clever plan in mind, why don't you tell me quickly? Do you have to wait until Hong Manzi comes to kill you?"
A big man in a green robe slowly stood up and interrupted him impatiently. This man was tall and thin, with a fair complexion, like a scribe who had read poetry and books, but his cheekbones were high and his eye sockets were slightly sunken. Her two long eyebrows went straight into her temples. She looked extremely smart and capable, and her voice had a hint of coldness.
Li Zicheng recognized this man as Luo Rucai, a resourceful man who was nicknamed "Cao Cao". He was a romantic man and had dozens of wives and concubines, all dressed up in fancy clothes, who followed him in the army. He also loved Qin Opera and had a troupe under his tent. When he arrived at Dahai Temple, he was already bored when he saw that there were no female companions in the temple. He heard Li Zicheng talking about the old camp, and thought of his beautiful women and troupes. He left them aside during the New Year, but rushed to the temple. Sitting there eating wine, there is no woman in my arms, drinking wine and watching a play. I wish I could leave early and rush back to my tent.
Li Zicheng listened to his eager question and said hurriedly: "Brother praised me, but it's not a clever idea. In the past, we suffered losses by staying on the top of each hill and fighting our own battles. We couldn't communicate with each other or rescue each other. How could we fight alone? Can we win? Now Lu Xiangsheng is guarding Huguangyun, Xiang and other places in the southwest, Cao Wenzhao is guarding Xin'an and Mianchi areas, Hongmanzi comes from Tongguan from the northwest, Jizhen soldiers and horses come from the north, Tianjin soldiers and horses also come from Jinan, Shandong Then came the other Ming troops who also came forward. They intended to attack in three directions and wait for the opportunity for a decisive battle. We ignored it and went ahead with the Thirty-Six Strategies. The whole division avoided the enemy and retreated to the southeast. This was not out of fear. The officers and soldiers have their own plans. As the saying goes: If one man fights hard, ten people are difficult to defeat, let alone our more than 200,000 troops?" At this point, he looked at Gao Yingxiang.
Gao Yingxiang nodded and said: "The art of war makes it clear: If the enemy is completely victorious and I cannot fight, I must surrender, make peace, and leave. If you surrender, you will be completely defeated, if you make peace, you will be half defeated, and if you leave, you will not be defeated. The one who is not defeated wins. This is a turning point. Zicheng is right to say that the officers and soldiers have shown their strength in the northwest. There is no need to compete with them for a while. We should go to the southeast to attack their weakness."
"What's the trick? You should tell me quickly! I, Mr. Zhang, can't understand these crooked words." Zhang Xianzhong jumped up and slapped his thigh hard with his palm.
Li Zicheng talked about: "Divide the troops into five directions: go all the way south to block the army of Sichuan and Huguang; go all the way to the west to attack the army of Shaanxi; all the way stationed in Xingyang and Sishui area to guard the Yellow River; all the way south to attack Fengyang and dig out The ancestral tomb of the royal family. The elite officers and soldiers in the northwest may be difficult to resist. We can leave one group behind as backup to provide support. As for how to distribute the troops, please discuss with the leaders."
"No need! The matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. I think it's better to leave it to fate and cast lots!" Gao Yingxiang was afraid that trouble would happen again and it would be difficult to deal with it, so he immediately ordered Gu Junen to write thirteen notes, all rolled up exactly the same, and put them into the pottery in his belly. In the jar.
Everyone couldn't think of a fairer way, so they stepped forward to cast lots one after another. After a while, the paper lots were cast. Ge Liyan He Yilong, King Zuo Jin He Jin led his troops to the south to block the Huguang and Sichuan officers and soldiers;
The king of Kaishi changed his mind and shot Li Wanqing to collapse the sky. He gathered hundreds of thousands of horses and Jin Zhong led his troops to stop Hong Chengchou;
Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, passed by Tianxing Huiden and led his troops to garrison in Xingyang and Sishui area to defend against the officers and soldiers of various prefectures in Kaifeng, Guide, Henan, and Ruzhou;
Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, Sweeper King Zhang Yichuan and Chuang Taotian Liu Guoneng led their troops to march south to Anhui;
Lao Hui returned to his horse to respond, and Guo Dacheng, the nine-headed dragon, came and went to provide support.
After everyone had discussed and decided, they arranged more than ten jars of strong liquor on the table, raised their glasses and drank until the east turned white. The next day, they killed cattle and horses to sacrifice to heaven and swore an oath to their master, and then attacked separately.
Gao Yingxiang ordered Li Zicheng, Zhang Yichuan, and Liu Guoneng to lead the troops first and from behind Zhang Xianzhong Palace. The momentum along the way was overwhelming. In more than ten days, they successively captured Gushi, Huoqiu, Shouzhou, Yingzhou and other dozens of prefectures and counties, approaching Fengyang. Set up camp two hundred miles away.
............
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was a real Han Chinese, and he was also a Han nationalist. Later generations of the Internet often slandered Taizu as Hui Hui, and the founding hero was Hui Hui. It is really ridiculous. I, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, even dreamed of castrating all Hui Hui. Kuang Taizu Fengyang, the land of Longxing, is the land of Huaiyou. Where did the Huihui come from? In the Yuan Dynasty, the Huihui all lived in the north. In the south, there were Huihui living in Duquanzhou and Guangzhou. I really don’t know how those Hui Tatars were identified in the Ming Dynasty of Han Dynasty. It was he who returned to the Ming Dynasty. Taizu's family was in ruins. When his father and mother died, they had no coffins to bury them, so they could only wrap them up and bury them casually. This helpless and sad thing has become a custom among the Hui people. Taizu knew about it underground, and he was afraid that there would be another flood in the underworld. Tai was sent back to prison.
