Not all the twenty-eight villages are on the east bank, there are also three villages on the west bank. When the fire broke out on the east bank, the west bank met across the river. But I don’t know what happened on the east bank. After the hundreds of people escaped from the ferry house in Xiputun
After the residents crossed the river, the people in Santun on the west bank knew that the Rakshasa people were coming from the other side. [] Since there were no Qing troops stationed on the west bank, the nearest Qing army stronghold was a hundred miles away and only had a few dozen soldiers.
, even coming here would not help. So the residents of Santun on the West Bank recruited a few good horsemen, and as soon as dawn came, they quickly rode to a post station sixty miles north to report the news. After the people at the post station got the letter, they would
Cheng rushed to report the enemy situation to the Heilongjiang General's Mansion one after another. If he worked hard, the General's Yamen would know what happened in the 28th Village within two or three days. But at that time, no one knew what the situation was in the villages on the east coast.
I can guarantee it. Resigned to fate and doing a little work, the fearful people of Santun packed up their things and moved their families to the south that day, fearing that the Rakshasa people from the other side would cross the river by boat.
The combined population and wealth of the twenty-five villages are enough to satisfy Zhao Qiang, so he has no interest in the three villages on the other side of the river. Besides, there is a Heilongjiang across the river, and things on the other side cannot go here.
However, in order to convince the people on the other side that it was the Rakshasa people who looted Jiangdong, Zhao Qiang asked Grifsky to send two teams of Russian soldiers to take a few boats and wander around the river for a while, and there were ghost screams in the distance.
, fired a few shots like a bluff, wandered like this twice, then retreated and left.
There are 4,900 people of all ethnic groups in the 25 villages, including the Manchus. Among them are 2,000 old and weak, women and children, and the rest are mostly strong men. The old and weak, women and children were taken away on the first day.
On the second day, there were a thousand young men driving cattle, sheep and horses; on the third day, there were a thousand young men carrying large carts transporting grain, iron tools and supplies; on the fourth day, Zhao Qiang led a hundred cavalry and cavalrymen behind him.
A team of Russian soldiers drove the remaining several hundred young men back to the country. Before leaving, fires were set off simultaneously at hundreds of places where hay had been piled up. In an instant, thick smoke spread everywhere, and the passionate fire dragon was swept by the north wind.
It was raging on the east coast. People on the other side saw only a blaze of fire on the east coast, but nothing else, not people nor animals. The fire lasted for two days before it subsided under the snowflakes in the sky. Waiting for those on the west bank
After people crossed the river in a boat in fear, all they saw were ruins and hundreds of corpses burned to coke. There was nothing else, not even a kitchen knife.
On the third day after returning from the north, Zhao Qiang received the news of Xilinjueluo's death. Because he had told Xilinjueluo to have a good life, the general banner responsible for escorting the old, weak, women and children immediately rushed to the scene after discovering that Xilinjueluo had committed suicide by biting his tongue.
Send someone to report the death of the Manchu leader to the commander-in-chief.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Qiang asked the soldiers who reported the news to rush back to the headquarters and bury Xilin Jueluo in a selected place to prevent his corpse from being thrown into the wilderness. The seventy-year-old man bit his tongue and committed suicide. It still sounds very pitiful, but even if he didn't
If you commit suicide, you may not be able to reach Shouyi City. The distance between the 28th Tun and Shouyi City in a straight line is three to four hundred miles. Counting detours and mountain roads, it is probably six to seven hundred miles away. Simply walking on such a long road would take at least
They walked for more than 20 days. It was inevitable to freeze to death while walking in the wild in freezing weather. When the team arrived at Shouyi City, the elderly people over fifty years old were afraid that they would die. But Zhao Qiang could not leave them behind because they
Knowing that the robbery team included not only Rakshasa people but also Han people, and this information was absolutely forbidden to be known to the Qing army, they could only force these old people to embark on a road of no return.
Things in this world often make people feel helpless and make them choose. But when there is a choice, it is more likely to choose one of the two worse situations. Zhao Qiang does not want to do evil, does not want to be a butcher and executioner, and does not want to always be punished by his conscience.
He was condemned, but it backfired. After the Bei Dynasty, he almost one-sidedly played the role he least wanted to play. His hands were stained with the blood of people of all ethnic groups, and he was responsible for thousands or even thousands of lives. If there is really cause and effect.
Zhao Qiang believes that due to his actions, even the eighteen levels of hell may not be able to accommodate him.
When a butcher kills someone, he always finds a reason for killing in the name of righteousness. Zhao Qiang does the same. He always links what he does with the great cause of going south to kill all the Manchu slaves and restore China. He believes that what he does
Everything is worth it, and everything is forgivable. People often say that once a general succeeds, tens of thousands of bones will wither. Which successful person is not surrounded by piles of bones behind him? Whether it is comfort, belief, or facts, in short, Zhao Qiang has already
He is no longer the son of a butcher who just walked out of school, he is no longer the young man who is addicted to adultery, he is no longer the good man who is full of love for the world. He has been turned into a madman and a madman by his own fanaticism and paranoia.
Evil man. So when he thought of the old people of all races who were about to freeze to death and die from exhaustion, he comforted himself: It was better to take them back to fight their fate than to execute them all.
The team escorting the old, weak, women and children met up with the two Cossack teams left behind in Sandaotun and then turned in the direction of Morgan. Seven days later, they encountered a team from the Yicheng Brigade of the rear guard division that came to meet them. The two teams followed.
When they arrived, the last group of troops led by Zhao Qiang arrived at Morgan on December 17. There were no Qing troops following them along the way, and not even a single Qing scout cavalry was seen.
Wu Si personally led his people to welcome the general back to the north in Mergen. The food robbed from Sandaotun had already been transported to Shouyi City and was now being shipped to various places in batches. More people captured from the 28th Tun were also brought to Shouyi City.
Went to Shouyi City. Because he was worried about the negotiation between Liu De and Goro, Zhao Qiang handed over the escort task to Wu Si as soon as he arrived in Mergen, and he rushed back to Yask with a hundred cavalry.
Some readers commented that the plot was dragging on, and it took 700,000 words for the protagonist to occupy such a small amount of territory. I don’t want to say too much here, but I just ask this reader to check the topography and population situation of the Far East in the 17th century before commenting.
In a place with large land and sparse people, it doesn't matter how much territory you occupy. Talent is the most important. Only by accumulating a certain population can you have the capital to go south. Ben's creation is based on the time travel story of an ordinary person.
, there are not too many golden fingers. Different from other time travel works, this one is set in the early years of the Qing Dynasty and in the wild Far East. The difficulty level is correspondingly much higher. Many readers will notice the development of Guan Ningjun.
They are very similar to the Jurchens in the late Liao Dynasty and the Hou Jin Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty. They both expanded from small to large, from few to large, and finally aspired to the throne at the right time.
Massacre is what Guan Ningjun must do, and love is also what the protagonist must have, otherwise Guan Ningjun will not have the capital to go south. The bandit-like group is the image that Guan Ningjun must bear in its early days and for a long time. The same is true for the protagonist.
He is just a bandit leader. The concept of political power in the system and the inherent concepts of the Chinese people can only be matched after the bandits become strong, otherwise it is simply a joke.
