Chapter Thirty-Seven The Father

In this land, braids are the only criterion for Eunuch Wei to distinguish between enemies and me.

If you have braids, you are enemies; if you don’t have braids, you are friends.

After finding more than a dozen braids in front of him, my father-in-law opened the folding fan with a "trumpet".

This is a sign of death.

Dozens of knights riding a triangular flag on their backs immediately rushed out, and the sharp saber shone out with hideous faces reflected by the sun.

The braids couldn't escape at all at a distance of dozens of feet.

Dechang took a breath of air conditioning. He instinctively wanted to turn around and run, but how could his legs run beyond his four legs?

The Jurchens who only had a short bow in their hands were hunting. Before they could figure out who these horse-riding soldiers were and where they came from, they were cut down one by one on the slope.

Blood columns splashed between their necks and their backs into the air.

Several Jurchens running back in a hurry were cut in half by the Ming knights who were catching up with them.

This small-scale battle that took place a few miles west of Jueluo City took less than half a stick of incense from the beginning to the end.

Jueluo City, which was almost far away, didn't notice what was happening here. Smoke was curling in the inner and outer cities, Jurchen women were busy cooking, men were sitting bare-barred in the shade chatting, and children gathered together to play games passed down from their ancestors.

As before, the Han Aha was busy with the work in the fields and houses as hard as a livestock, even if they were hungry, they would not dare to stop what they were doing.

Because this is not allowed. Only when the master asks them to eat can they stop working.

This is the meaning of their survival.

From the day they became Aha, they were deprived of their dignity as human beings.

They were just slaves of the Jurgent master, and they lived just to make their masters live a better life.

On a river outside the city, more than a dozen fishing boats that had just returned from the Yalu River had just landed, and a ferry carrying more than a dozen Jurchens slowly shaking in the middle of the river.

In the city lord's mansion, Jueluo Bao was really playing with the snuff bottle that his grandson Dechang brought back from Heituara a few days ago. It is said that this is an old thing, and it was obtained by the princes of the Great Jin Dynasty from the home of the Han emperor in the south.

In short, everything in Jueluo City is so quiet and peaceful.

………

Dechang, covered in blood, was taken to Eunuch Wei's horse. If it weren't for his more "cool" clothes, his body would have been separated at this moment.

Eunuch Wei looked at Dechang, who was trembling all over. Judging from the clothes he wore on the other party, he should have been a guerrilla official appointed by the Ming Dynasty court.

This guerrilla officer was obviously appointed by Nurhaci. As the governor of Jianzhou and the general of Longhu, Nurhaci could appoint officials from both guards by himself.

The guerrilla grade is not low. Eunuch Wei speculated that this guy was probably a senior officer of the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers. After asking the guide of the Jurchen, he found that the guy named Dechang was Jiala Ezhen of Zhengbai Banner, equivalent to a senior general who existed in the deputy commander.

"Ask him how many people are in the city,"

Eunuch Wei raised his hand lightly and emphasized, "Be frank and lenient, and resist strictly." This means that if Dechang is honest, he will save him from death. If he doesn't tell the truth, he will die.

"Yes, sir!"

A Jurchen guide turned over from the horse and walked to Dechang, who was shaking all over. Dechang was obviously afraid of death. He looked up at Eunuch Wei on the horse and the Ming knights around him. Finally, hesitated for a while and explained the situation of Jueluo City in detail.

According to Dechang's confession, the Jurchens in the city of Juroluo were about 700, and the remaining males, more than 3,000 women and children were more than 3,000 Han people. However, the military and civilians in Juroluo City were not affiliated with Jianzhou Wei, which means they were not under the jurisdiction of Nurhaci, but were led by his grandfather Baoshi. However, their family and Jianzhou were one. If the bulk was in danger, they would also send people to provide food.

This information made Eunuch Wei rub his hands and feel that this trip is worthwhile. Just by the population, Jueluo City is obviously a larger Jurchen city, and it can be said to be the political and military center in southeastern Jianzhou.

Although it has little to do with Nurhaci now, it will definitely be included in the Eight Banners in the future. As for why Jueluo City can maintain a certain degree of independence now, this is naturally related to Dechang's grandfather Baoshi is Nurhaci's uncle.

After Dechang finished his explanation, he wanted to spare his life according to Eunuch Wei's eight-character policy, but his father-in-law looked around and asked, "Where is Dalang!"

"Baby is here!"

The seven-year-old Zhao Butai immediately responded loudly. He and his younger brother Obai are still young and cannot ride alone, so they ride together with their adopted father's personal guards along the way.

"Good boy, you killed this person for your father." The father-in-law had high hopes for Dalang, and murder would start with the child.

Zhao Butai didn't expect that his adoptive father would ask him to kill someone, and he was shocked immediately.

This appearance obviously made the adoptive father very unhappy. He frowned and said unhappy: "Dalang is not good at this, but he still remembers what Dad said to you!"

"Remember, remember, Zhuang... I am hungry and eat the meat of the barbarians... I laughed and talked about thirsty and drinking the blood of the Huns... Only when the crueler we are to the enemy can we feel our kindness..."

Zhao Butai murmured, and when he found that the foster father looked at him, he immediately became scared. Then he trembled and got off the horse immediately, and took the sharp knife handed to him by his personal guard and walked forward carefully.

"Good luck, please spare me!"

Dechang was so scared that his legs became weak. He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. He even claimed that he was appointed by the imperial court and was appointed as the Left Guard of Jianzhou.

Needless to say, Eunuch Wei also knew that this was a colleague. But this time he came, he wanted to be unable to get along with his colleagues. Therefore, there was no room for negotiation.

To be honest, you can be lenient, but this "leniency" only refers to the way of death.

Although Zhao Butai held the sharp knife, he still dared not move.

"Bastard! Dalang is planning to wait until dark!" Eunuch Wei shouted angrily, revealing the majesty of a kind father invisibly.

Zhao Butai was so scared that his adoptive father's majesty that he did not dare to hesitate anymore. He screamed "Ah" and stabbed the sharp knife into the chest of the person he didn't know who was firmly held by the soldiers.

Perhaps because he was young and had no strength, the sharp knife only stabbed a little, and the pain made Dechang's forehead oozing sweat. He wanted to open his mouth, but Ming Jun tightly covered his mouth. He had to stare at the child who was only a few years old in front of him in horror.

He never dreamed that he would be killed by a child who was seven or eight years old.

After discovering that he had not stabbed the other person to death, the young Zhao Butai was more afraid than the other person. He held the sharp knife in panic, not knowing whether to continue or pull it out.

"Butai, Master, help you!"

As a master, Ding Xiaogong must help his apprentice. He turned over and jumped off the horse, stepped forward, and grabbed Zhao Butai's small hand with his big hand. Then the master and apprentice all stabbed the sharp knife completely.

"Well…"

Dechang, who was released, twitched in pain on the ground, while Zhao Butai still kept the movement of using force to stab the front.

His eyes were closed.

Ding Xiaogong touched his apprentice's head, smiled, and then took his hand and turned around and walked away.

Eunuch Wei nodded. Dalang would definitely not be able to adapt to the first time he killed someone. He would be fine if he was proficient in the future. He turned to look at Erlang Aobai on another horse. Seeing that the little guy was also frightened, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, then waved his right hand forward.

"kill!"

More than a hundred cavalry and cavalry of the Ming Dynasty Emperor's cavalry and warriors rushed towards Jueluo City in the distance like arrows.

Jueluo City, which has more than 700 armored people, cannot scare away the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, who are heroic. On the contrary, they stimulate their blood even more.

This is a kind of pride, and even more so pride!

And this stems from their invincibility since they followed Eunuch Wei!
