Chapter 24: The geese have to pluck their hair

There were a few people who came ashore, wearing the same clothes and a short knife around their waists. After the few people got ashore, they scattered everywhere, looking very alert.

"Banyin, what do you smell?"

A companion tiptoed behind Bayin, who was smelling the air, and asked softly.

Bayin didn't say anything, but kept sniffing with her nose.

The companion looked around and found nothing. He couldn't help but laugh and scold Bayin: "There is no bitch peeing here, what are you talking nonsense?"

Bayin was a Mongol. He used to be a soldier with the red flag in Changdian Fort. After being captured, he was incorporated into the Pidao Special Detachment. He is now transferred to the Anti-Jin and National Salvation Army with his brigade. Because Bayin is familiar with the terrain, he was drawn out to reconnaise the enemy situation this time.

"I don't smell the urine, but the Jurchen barbarians have horses. It just rained during the day. If there were horses around, the horse's urine smell was very strong and you could smell it from a distance."

Bayin explained to her companions.

The companion was a Korean named Jin Sanshun. He was originally a Jianzhou soldier with a red flag, but he belonged to Goryeo Niulu.

For example, Bayin and Jin Sanshun, soldiers who were born in Jianzhou soldiers in the Kuandian area accounted for at least one-sixth of the anti-Jin and national salvation army.

The other two elite guard divisions of the Imperial Army and the Taiwan Division also had a large number of Jianzhou surrendered troops, with a population of about 1,000.

After long-term ideological education, the surrendered soldiers of Jianzhou fully realized the harm brought to the Ming Dynasty, the motherland by the reactionary separatist group, and also realized the oppression and oppression of the reactionary group on the lower-level military and civilians. Therefore, when they saw the Jurchen residents in Yizhou who were reluctant to cut their braids a while ago, they felt sad for these people, and even more disgusted with the rat tail left behind in the past.

"Is that true?"

Jin Sanshun had never rode a horse or raised a horse when he was in Goryeo Niulu, so he knew nothing about what Bayin said, and only felt that it was very reasonable, so he also learned Bayin's appearance and sniffed in the air, but he could not smell anything.

The shadows of trees and grass branches swayed around, and the river behind them was slightly rumbling, and it was quiet.

After a while, Jin Sanshun took back his nose with a little discouraged look and whispered: "My nose is not a dog's nose, I really can't smell any smell."

"You boy is a dog."

Bayin pinched Jin Sanshun in anger. Sanshun was about to feel pain, but suddenly she saw Bayin lying on the ground and waved her hand back: "Don't make a sound, there's any movement!"

Sanshun was shocked and immediately lay on the ground, not daring to move for a moment. The companions scattered in the other places were also nervous, lying on the ground one by one and listening carefully. There was indeed a slight sound coming from the front.

Sanshun poked Bayin gently and asked him in a low voice: "What's the sound?"

"It's like the sound of a horse eating food."

As he was far away, Bayin didn't know what the sound was. But he was sure that there must be a horse ahead because he smelled the smell of horse urine.

"Don't move here, I'll crawl over and take a look."

Bayinbi made a gesture and crawled into the woods ahead. He didn't dare to run directly, because if there was really someone in front, it would be easily noticed by the other party.

It rained during the day and the ground was a little rotten. Bayin climbed forward with difficulty, and his body was covered with mud and leaves. He climbed forward along the grass and soon disappeared in front of everyone. No one could see where he had climbed.

Jin Sansun lay on the shore with the rest of his companions, his hearts pounding, and the tension seemed to make his chest burst out.

Zhou Xiaoqi, who led this reconnaissance team, was also from Kuandian, but he had never served as a soldier before. His family was moved from Gaizhou in the 11th year of Wanli. However, in the 36th year of Wanli, Li Chengliang, the magistrate of Ningyuan, threw all the soldiers and civilians and the six forts to the Jianzhou Tartars.

Zhou Xiaoqi's family was unwilling to leave the land that had been reclaimed for more than 20 years, so they had no choice but to become tenants for the Jianzhou people.

For most Kuandian people, as long as they can have land to plant and eat, they will be the same as whoever they recognize as their master.

The people of Jianzhou are a bit cruel, but they cherish the Han people under their name and will not easily kill them.

Although women are a little aggrieved, can't they survive?

This is the world, what can ordinary people do?

All this changed until the emergence of a Ming army more than two years ago.

To be honest, Zhou Xiaoqi did not agree with the "burning, killing, looting" of Kuandian by the Imperial Army, nor did he agree with the Imperial Army moving the people away. You must know that Kuandian is full of fertile land!

However, what is said above is correct. Those Han people lived in Kuandian for one day, which was to provide Jianzhou people with more food, so that more Jianzhou people could take up weapons to kill innocent compatriots and plunder more wealth.

As the trend drifted with the flow, even the Tatars in Jianzhou could not defeat the Imperial Army, so Zhou Xiaoqi and his family could only embark on the road of migration with their neighbors.

After that, his family was placed on Pi Island. Because Pi Island did not have much land to cultivate, the young men among the Kuandian people who were placed on Pi Island were either organized to go to sea to fish, or joined the emperor's personal army, or followed the arrangements of the yamen to do things.

Against this background, Zhou Xiaoqi, who had never taken a knife, became a member of the Imperial Army Pidao Detachment, and then became a small flag officer in charge of a team.

The moment he set foot on his hometown again, Zhou Xiaoqi's eyes were rosy. He hoped that the whole family would return to his hometown again, but he knew that he could not drive away the Jianzhou Tartars, and this dream would never come true.

This time, he was ordered to explore the main force of the Tartars in Jianzhou, Qing Dynasty. Although he didn't know why the above marched slowly and camped every day like a turtle, he told Zhou Xiaoqi that there would definitely be big moves on the above!

Zhou Xiaoqi doesn’t know what big moves he does, nor does he need to know. He just needs to do his own thing well.

Seeing that Bayin had not come back for a long time, Zhou Xiaoqi frowned tightly, muttering in his heart that there was really a large army of Jiannu in the Sanlipu area?

Previously, the reconnaissance work had been organized by the cavalry, but recently the cavalry's sentry was frantically blocked by the Jianzhou Tartars, and the above had to make adjustments and use the dense river channels in the Kuandian area for lurking reconnaissance.

I don’t know how long it took, but the grass in front suddenly moved. Just as everyone’s hearts were about to jump out of their throats, Bayin’s head was exposed from the grass, and then quickly climbed over and lowered his voice and said to Zhou Xiaoqi: “Captain, there is a road ahead for about a mile. There are several horses tied to the side of the road. It’s far away and I can’t see clearly. It should be the barbarian’s horse probing.”

After hearing this, Jin Sanshun hurriedly whispered: "Captain, since you have discovered the Jianzhou barbarians, let's go back and report now."

Zhou Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "No, our mission is to find out the specific location of the Tatar Zhengbai Banner. Now we have only found a few horses. I don't know if it is the Zhengbai Banner or the Inlaid Bai Banner. How can I report it when I go back like this?"

A soldier thought for a while and said, "Captain, if there are only these Jiannu, why not let's touch it and catch a living person to ask?"

This proposal made everyone feel excited when they heard it. Of course, Zhou Xiaoqi had no objection. He also wanted to make contributions to raise the general flag. He immediately took them to the place where Bayin went before, preparing to seize the opportunity and take action.

As soon as the few people climbed to the place, before they could touch the roadside, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar. Zhou Xiaoqi's face changed and he waved his hand to tell everyone not to move. Everyone did not expect this change, and they all stood tightly on the ground and did not dare to breathe.

In the night, the Jin soldiers who were tying horses on the roadside in front of them had already turned over and horses. Not far north of them, hundreds of cavalry were running over. And behind further away, there were clearly a large group of people moving towards this side.

In the grass, everyone was afraid to show their anger, only a pair of eyes were staring at everything in front of them nervously.

Everyone turned their eyes to Zhou Xiaoqi and silently asked what to do.

"Go away, go back now!"

Zhou Xiaoqi made a decisive order, but Bayin suddenly grabbed him and whispered: "Captain, take people back to report, I will continue to stare at them here and see where they are going."

Zhou Xiaoqi was shocked: "Banyin, this is too dangerous!"

Bayin smiled and said, "I am alone, the barbarian can't find me."

Zhou Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment and agreed to Bayin's request, asking him to be careful and take the others back quickly.

After Zhou Xiaoqi and the others left, Bayin continued to lie in the grass under the night, staring at the front with his eyes.

.............

Late at night, the minister of the Ministry of Justice Wei was not sleepy at all, so he simply put on his clothes and patrolled the camp.

The deep trenches, pointed fences and various types of horse-rejecting horses were set up, and the firearm launching points set up everywhere turned the huge military camp into a big hedgehog armed to the teeth.

Faced with such a "bunker", except for the inner-command opening the door, Eunuch Wei really couldn't imagine why the Eight Banners soldiers rushed in.

This military camp is 140 miles away from Yizhou, and the camp is located on the edge of the River. If there is a water camp, you can directly touch the two white flags along the River.

Unfortunately, Eunuch Wei has no water camp on hand.

The stars in the sky are like the scene of my father-in-law’s previous life.

Everything in front of me was extremely quiet, and the scenery in the distance was blurred in the night.

My father-in-law did not want his personal guard to follow him, but his eldest nephew, Wei Xuewen and Kumamoto Daiki followed him, keeping a distance of ten steps.

The patrol team walked past the river from time to time. Behind his respectful gaze, Eunuch Wei captured a sense of tension and fear.

As the army advanced northward and with the frequent contact with the Eight Banners, even the stupidest soldiers knew that a great war was about to take place.

My father-in-law, too nervous.

Although it has gained a certain advantage, its opponent is a powerful enemy with tens of thousands of cavalry after all!

After decades of development, Jianzhou has long evolved from a simple mountain infantry to a powerful combat group that integrates infantry and cavalry. The Manzhou, which was called a fishing and hunting nation by historians in his previous life, has approached the hunting nation in his previous life. In a few years, they will become the most powerful armed gang in East Asia.

How to remove Nurhaci's wool has become the top priority of my father-in-law.

Eunuch Wei came to the riverside, squatted down, held a handful of river water in his hand, and stared blankly as the river water flowed little by little between his fingers.
