Chapter 229 Killing slaves is not a dinner invitation

The bodies of the Ming army captured who were executed were placed on the Suksu River outside Gule Village. There was a village less than ten miles northwest along the river.

The local Jurchens called this village Dahufang Village.

Generally, Jurchens rarely use "village" to refer to a certain place. They are used to referring to Zhai and Tun. The reason why Dahufang Village can exist is because this name has been used for thousands of years.

It is said that it was caused by Xue Rengui, a famous Tang Dynasty general who led his troops to the east and buried a pot and a stove to eat here.

After that, the name of Dahufang Village was inherited. The people in the village changed from Han people to Khitan, Bohai, Jurchen, and Mongols to Han people, and then Han people disappeared, becoming the current Jurchen village.

The different imprints left by different people in Dahufang Village are entirely witnesses of the historical transformation of this land over a thousand years.

Interestingly, the Jurchens who live in Dahufang Village have always claimed that they are Jueluo, saying that their ancestors were Anahazhang, the second son of Wang Gao's subordinate, who was then Wang Gao.

Baoshi is the youngest son of Fuman, the great-grandfather of the Khan of the Great Jin Kingdom and the eight banners, the great-grandfather of Nurhaci.

However, Nurhaci did not recognize this relative. Due to various reasons, Baoshi's branch became a member of the Ula tribe, and the Ula tribe was the strongest enemy of Nurhaci's life except the Ming Dynasty.

On several occasions, Nurhaci was almost killed by the Ula tribe. In this way, he would not admit that this tribe who was enemies with him was Jueluo, and only placed them in this small village by the Suksu River, allowing them to fend for themselves.

Perhaps because he knew that the Khan would not recognize them again, the Jurchens in the house gradually did not dare to mention their past. Like other Jurchen tribes who surrendered to Jianzhou, they would pay the grain when they should be paid, and they would be given the meal when they should be given the meal, and gradually they would be fully integrated into their current identity.

More than half a month ago, the Jurchens in Dahufang Village saw the Tianming Khan of the Great Jin Kingdom for the first time. Although they only saw the figure of Tianming Khan from afar, they still made Dahufang Village excited for a few days.

No matter what, Tianming Khan is their distant relative!

Later, Niu Luezhensuobao, a Dahufang Village organized by the Eight Banners, took 76 young and strong men from their village to respond to the call of Tianming Khan to fight the Ming army.

In the village, the rest are the elderly, weak, sick and disabled and women.

Over the next day and night, the people in Dahufang Village kept holding their hearts until the reporters who rushed back to the capital from Jilin Yaqi to get a great victory on the front line. After King Khan led the Eight Banners Erlang to defeat the Ming Dynasty's army, the talents in Dahufang Village finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The old people happily told the children about the past when the Jin Dynasty entered the Central Plains under the leadership of the Wanyan family, while the women gathered happily and talked about how men would mess with them when they came back.

A few young women who had just married from other villages secretly thanked themselves. The victory on the front line means that their husbands can come back alive. In that case, they don’t have to have children with their father-in-law.

Although this is a very common thing for the Jurchens, their father-in-law is too old after all. There are few young women in the world who like old men.

However, new news soon came. Although the battle was won, the soldiers of the Eight Banners could not go home immediately. They still needed to follow the Khan to fight another battle in the east.

If the battle is won, the men can truly go home.

The women could only continue to wait. They came together to the high ground and looked at the Eight Banner Army that was driving from Gule Village to the east, praying that their husbands could come back safely.

After that, Dahufang Village returned to its former peace. Except for the horses who rested and drank water in the village from time to time, the people in the village had never seen anyone else.

Before the sun set, several Jurchen old men who went up the mountain to chop wood met a team of Eight Banners soldiers who came over Jilin Cliff. The other party claimed to be the Zhenghong Banners and was ordered to be transferred back to the capital.

The leader of the team was a strong man, looking like a very strong Jurchen man. He said proudly that when he was fighting against the Ming army in front of him, he personally slashed and killed an opponent's general, and the banner leader also rewarded him with the sword of the Ming general.

"Here, this is it, how about it? The knife is good, right?" Zhuangda pulled out the long knife in his hand from the scabbard like a show of flaunting and asked the old people to observe.

"What a good knife!"

The old people gathered together and praised the sword with their words. They also generously handed the sword to them.

Soon, the Eight Banners soldiers of the Zhenghong Banner became familiar with the Jurchen elderly. Seeing that it was getting late, the Jurchen elderly enthusiastically invited them to rest in the village.

It’s not necessary to grow stronger. It’s not far from Gule Village. It’s not too long for everyone to walk in the dark with a hard time.

"The mountain road is difficult to walk at night, and there are many bears and wolves in the mountains, but it is not safe."

"Although our village is not big, the young people have gone to fight with King Khan. It is okay to have some houses for you to stay for one night."

""

The old Jurchens enthusiastically invited the officers and soldiers of Zhenghongqi to their rest. After thinking about it, they thought it was unsafe to walk at night, so they happily agreed.

In order to express his gratitude to the elderly, Growth also gave them fifty pieces of "Destiny Sweat" newly minted by the Khan King, saying that it was the only way to rest.

The old people refused for a while and accepted it, and immediately led the strong group of people into the village.

The news that the Eight Banners officers and soldiers came to the village soon spread. Every household came to see the Eight Banners warriors who followed the Khan King. When they heard them talking about killing Han soldiers, the old men and children were happy, and the women were also full of their faces.

Especially when they heard that the Eight Banners seized many good things from the Ming Dynasty people and captured many Ming Dynasty prisoners, they were even happier.

Because, according to the rules set by the Khan, each banner will share the spoils, including prisoners, and then Dahufang Village can share some of them, and even if they are not good, they can send some Han people to work as coat slaves.

In this way, the elderly and women will not have to work hard anymore.

After a while of lively, an old man arranged for the woman to cook. The hot rice and dried fish from the Duck Susu River made the warriors who killed the Han people couldn't stop wiping their mouths. They all said that this was the best food they had ever eaten.

"Not to mention, our fish from Suksu River are really the most plump outside the pass. In the past, there were Han traffickers coming to ask us to fish and transport them to Shenyang and sell them to Fushun." An old Jurchen man who usually leads the villagers to fish in the river and smiles.

At this moment, an eight-year-old child suddenly shouted: "Amuqi, are your ears injured?"

The child's mother, Dong E, followed his son's gaze and saw blood on the officer's ears and two broken holes on his forehead that could not be seen without careful attention.

Dong E was a little confused. She looked at other people and suddenly found that the heads of these people seemed to be newly numb, and the small braids behind her head also seemed to be newly tied.

Before Dong E could call out, the officers and soldiers of Zhenghongqi who were still telling their heroic deeds to the village suddenly stood up and took out their swords and slashed at the crowd.

Screams, frightening sounds, and wails suddenly echoed over Dahufang Village.

After half a stick of incense, the strong man wiped the knife back and forth on an old Jurchen man and said to his subordinates: "I was negligent, but I didn't expect to ask a Jiannu boy to see the flaws."

"Sir, they?" The subordinates seemed to have a problem.
