Chapter 59: Wei Ji
The young man was named Wei Ji. His grandfather Wei Youguang was an old man from Guanning Army. He once followed Zu Dashou to help the capital thousands of miles away. Later, he guarded Jinzhou with Zu Dashou and died there in battle. [] Wei Ji's father had a single name called De. Because Wei Youguang didn't want his son to be like him, he also ate blood-licking food from the knife, so he wanted him to get a fame and go on the road to resignation. Unfortunately, Wei De was not born to be a material for studying, so he hired several gentlemen for him, and they all said that this son could not be taught. In desperation, Wei Youguang had to let Wei De follow the army.
Later, Wei Youguang died in Jinzhou, and Wei De attacked his hundreds of military positions. Later, he was at the gate of Wu Sangui, the general of Liaodong, and attacked the peasant army at any time. He went south to Yunnan. He was promoted to guerrillas and married and gave birth to Wei Ji in Kunming. Because he was injured in an arrow while extermination of Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, the arrow was poisonous and the poison gas was not removed for a while. He has been cured and recurred from time to time. On a thunderstorm day in the seventh year of Kangxi, Wei De could not bear the old illness and was unbearable. He took poisonous wine and gave himself a pleasure.
When Wei De died, Wei Ji was only thirteen years old. After his father died, Wei Ji, like most descendants of Guanning Army, also inherited his father's business and joined the army. However, Wei Ji was different from his father and even his grandfather. He was too thin and had pitiful strength. He really waved weapons to kill the enemy, let alone commanding the troops. Fortunately, Guan Nian was due to his father's contribution, so he did not let Wei Ji get out of the army, but arranged for him to be an official position, responsible for the statistics of food and grass and the military official. This position was suitable for Wei Ji, and he did not need to practice every day, nor did he have to hold his head to kill the enemy. Although his life was average, he was in a stable and peaceful state. In this way, Wei Ji's officials worked until his defeat, and were taken outside the pass with many prisoners.
After arriving outside the pass, Wei Ji almost died of cold and starvation. He gritted his teeth and was sent to repair Yongling. After that, he went to Songshan Fort with Zhao Qiang and others, and lived like most of the former Wu army members without any shining points. Wei Ji thought that he would have to live like this in his life, but he did not expect that such a big thing happened to Songshan Fort, which made his already desperate heart suddenly feel hopeful.
When Zhao Qiang went to ask everyone for their own wishes, Wei Ji was the first to come to Zhao Qiang. Wei Ji believed that following the strong would never be wrong. Moreover, he believed in Zhao Qiang's character and felt that even if he died, he would be better off living a cowardly life with such a man. Because he was thin and was bullied by Zhang Dahai in the same house, he now had the opportunity to change his destiny. Wei Ji naturally chose to leave with Zhao Qiang, and hoped to gain the recognition of Zhao Qiang and others through his performance and prove himself a little.
I thought Zhao Qiang would choose the first group of people, but I didn't expect to choose someone, but because he was weak, Wei Ji was disappointed and thought that he was destined to be a famous man in his life. Therefore, he has been depressed these days. He has nothing to do with his stomach and doesn't like anything to say. He has been scolded by Qian Lin for this.
When the Oroqen people were taken here, Wei Ji's eyes, who was sitting foolishly, suddenly lit up. He knew that the opportunity had come because no one else in the army could understand the words of the Oroqen people except himself. If Mr. Qiang wanted to ask questions, no one could translate them except him! As long as Mr. Qiang agreed, it would be my chance to show it! Wei Jixin was secretly happy, and when Zhao Qiang stared at him, he plucked up his courage and got up freely. As expected, when Zhao Qiang heard that he understood the words of the hunter, he asked him to ask questions immediately without saying a word.
With Zhao Qiang's Yunke, Wei Jixin was ecstatic. He pressed the excitement in his heart, walked to the hunters with a calm expression, coughed lightly and started talking to them "guzzling". He didn't know what to say, but Zhao Qiang and Wu Si were confused.
The hunters were very surprised that Wei Ji would say what his clan would say, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the other party knew what he said, he would not be killed by Gu. Therefore, they cooperated very well. They would reply whatever Wei Ji asked, without hiding anything.
After Wei Ji finished asking, he turned respectfully and told Zhao Qiang that these hunters were indeed Oroqen people, and they belonged to Yafaha Oroqen.
Yafa Ha? Zhao Qiang didn't understand what Yafa Ha Oroqen meant, so Wei Ji explained it to him.
It turned out that the Qing court divided the Oroqen people into two parts: "Molinga" and "Yafaha", which were unified by the Butha Zongya. "Molinga's Oroqen" means horse riding Oroqen. This part of the Oroqen people were unified into the Eight Banners and used to fight south and north as cannon fodder. "Yafaha's Oroqen" refers to the Oroqen people walking, which means the Oroqen people who have lost reindeer and not yet obtained horses. The Yafaha's Oroqen part was divided into eight assistant leaders by the Qing court and placed in various places. Every year, the Qing court sent a member of "Anda" to the mountains to seize tribute marten. These Oroqen hunters entered the mountains this time to hunt marten so that they could collect marten tribute.
According to several people, in addition to them, there were more than 20 people who went into the mountain to hunt marten. When they were captured, the others were resting in the mountains not far away. I guess they were not aware that they were arrested.
"Please spare my life, the young ones are just mountain hunters and have no intention of being unfavorable to the Junior."
When several Oroqen people saw Zhao Qiang coming and going, their eyes were unpredictable, thinking that the other party was going to kill him, so they were busy begging for him.
Zhao Qiang ignored them and ordered Wei Ji: "Ask them, how many people are in the tribe?"
"Yes, I'll ask."
Wei Ji hurriedly asked again, and after getting the answer, he replied: "Return to Mr. Qian, Bilar said that there are more than 400 people in their tribe, and the village is right behind the mountain and does not usually contact the outside world. Therefore, many people outside do not know that there is a village behind the mountain, and even the Rakshasa people don't know."
"Well? They also know the Rakshasa people?"
When Zhao Qiang heard this, he made up his mind and said to Wei Ji: "You told them that I will lead troops to fight the Rakshasa people now and need the help of their tribesmen. If they are willing to follow me to fight the Rakshasa people, then I will definitely thank you again after the matter is completed."
After hearing this, Wei Ji hurriedly told these Yafaha Oroqen hunters about Zhao Qiang's meaning. After hearing this, the leader of Bilar said a few words to Wei Ji with a look of embarrassment.
"Bilal said that he couldn't make any decision on this matter, so he had to go back and ask Urling what he meant. The things in the village, no matter how big or small, were decided by Urling. They were just ordinary people and had no power to decide on tribe affairs. If they agreed to us without authorization, they would be beaten and scolded by Urling after they went back."
"Urle?"
