Wu Fengqiu glanced at Malji, patted him on the shoulder, and walked towards the banner men, women and children. On the way, he saw his own soldier Hao Lin holding a wooden stick and staring at an Aha corpse on the ground in a daze.
He felt strange, and after asking the soldiers around him, he found out that Hao Lin had killed this Aha.
Strictly speaking, Helin was still a child, because his actual age was less than fifteen years old. When his parents and family heard that the Han troops were coming to Yask, they took his family to join the Guan Ning army. Although the war
After the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of the He family have lived in this land for generations and can never return to their homeland. However, no matter what, they all have a dream of their homeland in their hearts, and they can never forget that the blood flowing in their bodies is
The blood of the Han people cannot forget that they are descendants of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, although their homeland has been occupied by the Tatars, they have become slaves of the subjugated country and wanderers who have returned home, but the descendants of the Ming army who are like the He family can still live in their dreams.
It’s a pity that every time I dream about the scene in my hometown passed down from my ancestors, it’s so vague and strange. After waking up from the dream, I’m only filled with sadness and loss.
Withered vines, old trees and dim crows, small bridges and flowing water, people's homes, the west wind and thin horses on the ancient road. The sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
Like many tribes living in this far north, the descendants of the Ming Army Guards were also threatened by the Rakshasa invasion. They often had to constantly change their habitats to avoid the Rakshasa invasion. In fact, they could
Moved to the south, but the south was the territory of the Tatars. These descendants of the Ming Army Guards would not live with the Tatars even if they were killed, so they could only bear the harm done to them by the Rakshasas alone and struggled hard.
, struggling to survive in this bitter and cold land. Therefore, when they heard that a Han army came to this land and specifically fought against the Rakshasa people, Helin's parents and family elders unanimously decided to join the clan.
, they believe that the rumored Guan Ningjun can definitely protect them.
An old man who died of illness during the migration told his descendants: "We are Han people and have been Han people for generations. No matter where we are, we must not forget that we are descendants of Yan and Huang! Although the Ming Dynasty died, we Han people have not
Death, our race is still there, and our compatriots are still there. I will never hear the Qinqiang opera in my hometown Yulin again in my life, but you can go and join the Guan Ning army. I believe that an army dares to fight against the Rakshasa people.
The Han army will definitely allow you to return to your hometown."
When passing through Tugursk, the He family and a dozen other families who came to surrender were taken in by Guan Ning's army. When asking their young and strong men whether they were willing to surrender to the army, Helin was the first to raise his hand. At that time, he
He was still only fourteen years old, and he was so weak that he seemed to be knocked down by the wind. His immature face was even bright red.
When Wu Fengqiu arrived at Helin, he liked the child from the bottom of his heart. After obtaining the consent of Helin's parents, he took Helin as his personal soldier and took him with him. He wanted to train him personally.
He trained this child into a real man who would return to his hometown with him in the future. Many times, the old Wu Fengqiu always treated Herring as his own son, and sometimes even he himself
They all thought: Maybe this child can really die for me in the future.
In his free time, Wu Fengqiu always taught Helin the skills of killing enemies and told him some stories about the pass. Every time he was with this child, Wu Fengqiu was very happy, happy from the bottom of his heart.
But he is a grown man after all, and his thoughts are not that careful. When he led his troops into the city just now, a stronger desire for revenge suddenly emerged in his mind, and he only focused on killing the Qing soldiers and forgetting about Helin.
Already.
Although Helin also followed Wu Fengqiu to fight the Rakshasa people, he always stayed behind because Wu Fengqiu did not let him kill the enemy in formation. Teaching is teaching, but Helin was only fifteen years old after all, and his body was not strong enough.
He has grown up and his strength is limited. Now asking him to kill the enemy with a knife is no different than asking him to die.
In the past, Wu Fengqiu rarely led his troops to charge in person, but this time he made an exception. This exception made Helin suffer. After rushing into the city, he soon found that he had lost Master Qianhu, and in front of him
What he saw was a brutal fight, with countless corpses falling in front of him and countless body parts thrown under his horse.
After all, Helin was still a child. Seeing this bloody killing, he couldn't help but become frightened. He accidentally fell off his horse. After he got up, he wanted to run and ran to the safety of the city gate. Unexpectedly, he ran only a few seconds.
Bu Bu bumped into this Aha head-on. Both of them wanted to run away, but they both thought the other was going to kill them. They were so panicked that they didn’t know whether this Aha was unlucky or Hao Lin was lucky, but Hao Lin picked it up with a stick from nowhere.
Beaten to death with wooden sticks.
After killing the man, Hao Lin's body was so weak that he was so frightened that he lost his soul. He just stared at Aha's body stupidly and never recovered until Wu Fengqiu discovered him.
After listening to the soldier's story, Wu Fengqiu paused for a few seconds, then pulled Hao Lin over and shouted: "I'm just killing someone. What are you so afraid of doing? It's not killing you! Let's go, since you have killed someone,
I’ll let you kill two more people!”
"ah!"
When Hao Lin heard that Wu Fengqiu wanted to kill someone himself, he shook his head in fear, but Wu Fengqiu pulled him forward without any explanation.
There are about six to seven hundred Qing soldiers, bannermen, their families, and the wives and children of the Akhas who have laid down their weapons. There are also four to five hundred people of various ethnic groups. They are all surrounded in the open space outside the Zuoling Mansion. Erg
His wife did not run away either. She squatted there with a face and was trembling all over. From time to time she would put her jewelry into other people's arms. The jewelry that she usually worked so hard to get was like a venomous snake pricking her hand.
Seeing Wu Fengqiu, Wan Song, who was from the former Wu Army unit of Baihu in the third brigade, hurriedly came over to greet him: "Qianhu, are these people reserved for the people sent by the general government to take over?"
Wu Fengqiu glanced coldly at the family members of the Qing soldiers and people of all ethnic groups who were squatting on the ground, but turned his head away and said calmly: "We don't have enough manpower. We need to clear up the city quickly and rush to Humar. We can't divide our troops."
to supervise them."
Wan Song was stunned when he heard this: "What does Qian Hu mean?"
"What? You don't understand what I mean?" Wu Fengqiu glanced at Wan Song, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes were full of coldness.
Wan Songyilin knew what Master Qianhu wanted. He hesitated for a few seconds and said hesitantly: "But the commander-in-chief has an order and cannot..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Fengqiu.
"The general is out, and the military orders are not in good condition. You carry out the orders of this Qianhu."
Seeing that Qianhu's tone was unquestionable, Wan Song hurriedly responded: "Yes, Qianhu!" He turned around and waved to several Xiaoqi, and gave them a few instructions. After hearing this, the Xiaoqi were startled.
, looked up to Wu Fengqiu, only to see him looking towards the west of the city with his hands behind his back.
Seeing this, Wan Song urged unhappily: "Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, I will take action now!"
Several Xiaoqi nodded and ran away separately to pass the order to the ears of the soldiers. When the soldiers heard this order, they also stayed for a while. It was not until their companions urged them that they reluctantly walked towards the open space.
Although there were Qing soldiers and bannermen surrounding these people, most of them were old, weak, women and children. These Guan Ning soldiers from various ministries found it difficult to accept the order to kill them, but their obedient nature and attitude towards the officials
Absolutely obedient, let them raise their swords and walk towards the open space.
When those bannermen women saw Guan Ningjun approaching them with a knife, they screamed in fright and held their children tightly in their arms. They were trembling all over. Some wanted to beg for mercy, but they couldn't. They were too old.
The old woman seemed to know what was going to happen. She squatted there silently with no fear on her face. However, although these soldiers came to them with swords, they did not raise their swords. Instead, they exchanged hesitant words with each other.
Looking at it, his expression was a bit unbearable.
The Qing soldiers and the bannermen Aha were in trouble from the enemy soldiers who were holding swords and looking at them with expressions. They began to whisper something, and soon a dozen people jumped up and tried to grab the swords.
But he was quickly beheaded on the spot. The butcher's knife and the blood intimidated those Qing soldiers who wanted to resist. They kept retreating with fear in their eyes.
Although Wu Fengqiu was looking at the west of the city with his hands behind his back, he kept listening behind him. When he saw that he had not heard the screams for a long time, he frowned, turned around and walked towards the open space, then looked around and suddenly roared at the soldiers.
: "What? You can't do it! Don't you think it's unworthy of a man to kill these old, weak, women and children?"
The knights were all shocked by Wu Fengqiu's roar. No one dared to speak. Maleji, who was standing behind Wu Fengqiu, didn't know how to speak. After a while, Wan Song bravely walked to Wu Fengqiu's side.
, whispered: "Qianhu, they are all old people and children who are unarmed. Brothers are really a little unable to take action..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Fengqiu shouted: "I can't do it?! Why don't you want to think about how their parents attacked our old people and children back then! Have you forgotten the Tenth Day in Yangzhou and the Three Massacres in Jiaxing?
!Have you forgotten that tens of millions of Ming people in Sichuan were slaughtered completely by the Tatars! Have you forgotten how many of our sisters were raped by those beasts!...Have you forgotten brother Wu Jun who died under the Tatar sword?
!Have you forgotten the descendants of the prince who were killed by the Tatars! Hundreds of thousands of our brothers followed the prince in revolting, how many are left? Where are they? Tell me!" He spat heavily.
, Wu Fengqiu suddenly rushed to a bannerman woman and pulled her up, holding her clothes and shouting to the surrounding soldiers: "Have you forgotten how these people usually treat you? They think we are
What is it? It's a slave!... These people usually don't treat us as human beings at all, but now you pity them!... Maybe you pity them and want to give them a way to live, but have you ever thought about the fact that their men are still alive?
Is there a way for you to survive now? Tell me, which one of you has not been oppressed by the Tatars!"
He threw the bannerman woman to the ground heavily, and Wu Fengqiu shouted angrily: "Do you think I want to be an executioner or a butcher? I tell you, either you don't rebel, and if you rebel, you must do it to the end!
Only one can survive, the Tartars or us. Either they die or we die. There is no sympathy or pity. If we don’t kill them, when one day we fall into their hands, they will not give us a way to survive!”
At this point, Wu Fengqiu stopped, looked around and shouted with some pain: "I know some of you are thinking that the commander-in-chief said that you are not allowed to massacre the city, but what I am telling you now is to treat
These Tatars, old and weak, women and children, will all be killed and eradicated! If the commander wants to punish them, one person from each family will do it! Now, you must carry out the order immediately, otherwise military law will be engaged!"
"Qianhu!"
After hearing Wu Fengqiu's roar, Wan Song wiped the blood from his face and shouted loudly: "If the commander really wants to punish, punish his subordinates first!" After saying that, he grabbed Erge's wife and held the sharp knife in his hand.
Without hesitation, he stabbed her into the body and pushed her back a few steps with a ferocious expression. Then he pulled out the long knife with a "plop" sound and kicked her into the crowd, making the women and children scream and hide in both directions.
Mr. Qianhu is right, those Tartar dog officials never sympathized with us at all when they came to collect taxes from us. They only wanted us to pay more and more every year!
Malji Ten Wan let go of his hand, and with red eyes, he pointed the long knife at the old, weak, women and children, and shouted to the stunned soldiers: "Don't be stunned, follow the order of Master Qianhu, kill them for me."
!”
"kill!"
The soldiers turned toward Wu Fengqiu, then toward Malji, Wansong and the others, and at the same time they raised their swords to chop at the crowd...
"kill!"
Herring also stumbled into the crowd with his eyes closed and holding a long knife.
On June 11, Wu Fengqiu of the First Regiment of the Cavalry Division led his troops to massacre all the old, weak, women and children in Humar City, and only one person survived.
