Chapter 18 Sticks

Thanks to the two bigwigs, "Never Stop Killing the Three Tartars" and "No Tears" for their 100-yuan reward!

How can you reassure your father-in-law? Of course, you will listen to whatever your father-in-law says. You must obey unconditionally, even if you have any opinions.

This is the Basic Law.

Who agrees and who opposes?

After democratic consultation, everyone agreed not to object, so my father-in-law made the decision and went to Changdianbao first.

But Changdian Fort is in Jianzhou, and there are Jurchen soldiers stationed there, how can you leave?

This issue is not something my father-in-law has to consider.

He only sets goals and does not care about how to implement them.

Changdian Fort is located at the southernmost end of Kuandian Liubao, just on the Yalubian River, less than fifty miles from Yizhou. A few years ago, the Jianzhou people occupied Changdian Fort and renamed this place to "Liudaotun".

The original meaning of the word "官网" is "官网". The meaning of "官网" is to build a village with a circle of defensive walls to prevent the enemy's attack, and the defenders hide in the village to protect themselves.

It was originally a habit of the Ming army to name the tun, but the governor of Jianzhou Nurhaci came from the Ming army, so this naming habit also affected the whole country of Jianzhou. Changdianbao was renamed Liudaotu, but Jianzhou wanted to show that this place had nothing to do with the Ming army anymore.

However, it is said to be Liudao Tun. In fact, there are only three defense lines in this village. The first is a stone wall built using the terrain. The second is a stream several meters wide in the village. The third is more than 100 main buildings in the village. The houses are extremely solid and connected in a circle. They all have whistles and arrow piles to hide in the house. No matter how many enemy soldiers are, they cannot attack in a short time.

The fortifications were built by the Ming army that year. Apart from these three direct defense lines, there were no other fortifications in Liudaotun. If there were any, it would be the Yalu River next to it.

After Jianzhou occupied Changdian Fort, Zhenglan Banner, one of its four banners, set up a Niulu Zhangjing here, which means the leader. The defenders had roughly more than 200 Jurchen soldiers, and there were about 400 Han people who defected and captured.

Because Liudaotuan is less than fifty miles away from Yizhou in the Ming Dynasty, Jianzhou only regarded Changdian as a military outpost, so it did not place too much population here. Most of the Han people were placed in Kuandian and Dadian further behind, while the rest were moved to Heituara.

The leader of Liudaotun, Madali, was in his forties. He was so fat that he was reincarnated with a Maitreya Buddha. But a few years ago, Madali was not like this. At that time, Madali was strong and strong. Once he took off his clothes, he was full of flesh. He was so arrogant that he screamed when he started fighting.

Now this appearance is purely implicated by Shurhazi. Otherwise, with Madali's qualifications and courage, at least as a collaborator, how could he be sent to the southeast end of the Jianzhou map to see the gate?

It is not entirely beneficial. Because of the neighboring Liudaotun and North Korea, Madali has gained a lot of benefits in private business with North Korea's merchants. Moreover, although he has few soldiers and his combat effectiveness is much different from the main force who often goes to war with the Khan, he dares to cross the river from time to time to grab the Korean territory. The reason is that the North Korean army is even worse than theirs.

The Korean man Madali dared to rob him, but he didn't dare to rob him in Yizhou. After all, his Khan was also an official of the Ming Dynasty, and Madali was wearing a military uniform of the Ming Dynasty.

When he first came here, Ma Dali was worried that the Ming army in Yizhou would come back, but later he found out that the Ming army had really withdrawn and ignored them. He completely let go of his heart. He was used to being extensive and didn't like to care about specific matters. He either ate alcohol or meat every day, or brought a group of people to learn how to gambling money by the Chinese. His life was so happy that he turned into a big fat man in just a few years.

It was June, which was the most comfortable time in Liaodong.

When the last ray of sunlight disappeared on the horizon to the west, the Jurchen soldiers in the village lit the pineapple oil lamp. Not far away, there was silence on the Yalu River, and there was no sound of the surging waves slamming the shore, nor the shadow of a ship.

After Madali came back from swimming by the river, he asked someone to gamble with him. The Jurchen soldiers were strictly prohibited from gambling, but Liudaotun was high and the emperor was far away. Everything was decided by Madali, so he was afraid of any ban.

The Jurchen soldiers had much higher status than the Han people, and most of the affairs in the village were done by the Han people. In addition to serving the Jurchen soldiers, the Han people also took over the land outside the village to cultivate land.

These people are also obedient. Even if the Jurchen soldiers often beat and scolded them, no one dared to run away. Because their wives and children are mostly in Kuandian in the rear. The reason why they did not withdraw back to the pass was because they were nostalgic for the land of Liubao. As long as the Jurchens allowed them to live here, most people would not have the idea of ​​running away at all.

As usual, the Han people were still busy in the village. The Jurchen soldiers gathered together to eat and drink, and occasionally scolded the Han people passing by.

Although these Han people were organized under their banner, they all have a common identity "Aha".

The Jurchen soldiers called men Baoyi haha, and the women called women Baoyi Hehe. Whether they took the initiative to join or the captured Han people, they were all assigned to the flag soldiers to be Aha at the beginning.

These Han people, Aha, and his wife and daughter, all belong to a certain flag soldier. Liudaotuan, the young and strong Han people were brought by their masters and acted as auxiliary soldiers and rotated regularly. If they made military achievements, they might be officially incorporated into the flag. In that case, although their wives and children are still in the status of coats, the family can be reunited. If they are lucky, they will be assigned to Daliangzhuang as the head of the farmer and the garden husband. Then they will be very happy.

Niu Zhu is a Han man, Ah Ha. He refused to leave and saw the officers and soldiers killing people indiscriminately. So in anger he took his wife and daughter to join Jianzhou and was assigned to a Jurchen soldier from Darhan.

It was also a blessing. His wife gave birth to a son for Darhan and his daughter's belly was bigger, so Darha was very good to him. He begged Zoling for him to have a job as a errand and took good care of him.

Dahlhan drank a little too much wine, so Niu Zhu carried the bucket and prepared to fetch water to bathe Dahlhan, but as soon as he left the village, he was stunned.

In his sight, dozens of boats appeared on the river, somehow four of which were particularly large, which he had never seen before.

Just as he wondered where these ships came from, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from his ears. He subconsciously looked south and saw a large group of people riding horses running towards the village.

"The stick is coming across the river, the stick is coming across the river!"

Niu Zhu's wooden barrel fell to the ground and hurriedly ran back. Ma Dali, who was gambling with his subordinates, listened to the shouts outside, and couldn't help but feel angry, and grinned and cursed: "Who is the mouse who is raising it?"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the house was pushed open with a "bang". A Jurchen soldier rushed in with a panic look on his face: "Zu Ling, the Koreans have crossed the river!"
Chapter completed!
