Chapter 324
: Notorious Qu Shaved Head
Three days passed quickly amid the moans of Jiannu women and the gasps of northern cowboys.
Three days later, at the morning of Qu Shixi's order, all the cowboys who were venting their energy on Jiannu women stood up one after another, reluctantly left the seductive bodies, and began to gather under the scolding of captains at all levels, and then drove more than 100,000 Jiannu in the city to the edge of the Hunhe River.
The sky was dark and the river was strong. Qu Shili, who had a cold expression, stood solemnly on the temporary platform by the river with his hands on his back.
More than 100,000 Jiannu were crowded on the river beach, children were crying, women were wailing, old people were cursing, and the heaven and earth were filled with the sound of crying and robbing the earth, but Qu Shili ignored this scene, and a trace of cold murderous intent gradually solidified at the corner of his mouth. Once upon a time, this scene was so familiar!
Looking back at the time when Jiannu slaughtered Han people outside the pass, did they ever feel soft-hearted?
Looking back at the time when Jiannu burned, killed and robbed the pass, did they ever feel soft-hearted?
Looking back at the time when Jiannu held the butcher knife on the heads of innocent elderly and children, did they ever feel soft-hearted?
No, no, the crying and wailing of countless Han people in the end only brought their cruel, cheerful grin, and even more crazy killing. So now, what reason does Qu Shisi and his northern cowboy have to pity the elderly, young, women and children of Jiannu? No, there is no reason, this world does not need mercy, this world has always been a world where the strong prey on the weak!
Qu Shixi slowly turned around and said to the messenger behind him: "The time is almost over, let's start."
The messenger ran to the front of the stage and said sternly: "The Governor has an order to start shaving his head..."
Shaving the head is a relatively civilized explanation of the massacre by Qu Shisi. This title was derived from Jiannu's hair shaving and changing clothes. When Jiannu first entered the customs, he forced the Han people to shave their hair and change clothes. It was also stipulated that they would not leave their hair, and they would not leave their hair. So today, Qu Shisi also forced Jiannu to shave his head in turn!
Hundreds of northern cowboys rushed up like tigers and wolves, and hundreds of people were lifted out of the crowded Jiannu young and old. Among them were men, women, elderly, and children. Many of them were even in their infancy. A famous security captain couldn't help but come forward to persuade Qu Shixi: "Governor General, those children are innocent, shouldn't you forget it?"
"Innocent?" Qu Shixi frowned, "Aren't the tens of millions of Han people who died under the Jiannu butcher's knife innocent?"
The security captain said, "But they are still children, they are still so young..."
"Children!" Qu Shixi said coldly, "Yes, they are indeed young now, but they will grow up in 18 years. If you let them go today, more Han people will die in their hands in 18 years! The prince said it well, this world has always been a world where the strong prey on the weak. Don't hold on to the kindness of women, otherwise they will be irresponsible to your descendants and cause trouble for your descendants!"
While speaking, a knife flashed across the river beach, and hundreds of Jiannu's heads had already rolled to the ground.
The bright red blood instantly dyed the turbid Hunhe River water red. All the Jiannu who were carried to the river were beheaded and their bodies were thrown into the river. Soon, hundreds of Jiannu were dragged to the river. The hundreds of cowboys responsible for the execution raised their sharp butcher knives again...
Qu Shisi paid attention to this extremely bloody scene without a moment. There was never a slight pity or anxiety in his eyes, but only the deep indifference and inexplicable hideousness. More than 100,000 blood-dropped Jiannu's heads finally made Qu Shisi's great reputation. A few years later, when Qu Shisi was appointed as the Japanese governor and went to Tokyo to take office, within a few months, no one in Tokyo dared to go out to the streets at night, which shows how powerful his reputation is!
After slaughtering Jiannu, it is time to distribute spoils next.
To be honest, there is actually not much valuable property in Shengjing City, and the food and livestock stored are pitifully small. However, the large area of unowned land in Liaodong is the best reward for cowboys in the northern region. From the beginning, they migrated to Beizhi to settle down. Didn’t these cowboys come to Kill Hu Ling and for the large area of land outside the pass?
Because of the small population and the large land, almost every one of the more than 10,000 cowboys who went to Liaodong were divided into a vast pasture or a large manor. Although due to the sparse population in Liaodong, these pastures and manors cannot be effectively reclaimed or grazed, no matter what, these pastures and manors have become the private property of cowboys and their lives have already hoped.
In the following years, bankrupt refugees moved from the Central Plains to Kanto. These refugees either bought or rented land from Liaodong and became small farmers or small ranchers. The group of cowboys who followed Qu Shisi to restore Liaodong became large farmers or ranchers. Of course, Qu Shisi himself became the largest farmer in Kanto. The Qu family had 100,000 acres of grassland in Guandong and 18 manors!
These farmers, ranchers, and the servants they hired together formed a huge group of cowboys. With the support of the Killing Hu Ling and the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty, this group continued to erode the surrounding land with its sharp firearms. The servants continued to turn over and become farmers or ranchers with the land they had obtained from their erosion, and from then on they turned into rich people.
As a result, more bankrupt refugees flocked from the Central Plains with the dream of getting rich, so the group of cowboys in the northern part became larger. By more than a hundred years later, when the Ming Dynasty banned the killing of Hu in various northern provinces, the cowboys in the northern part had already eroded a large area of land north of the Great Wall, east of the Ural Mountains, and west of the Bering Strait. All the indigenous people who originally lived on this land, including the Mongols, Russians and Tungus savages, were massacred!
Centuries later, historians of the Ming Empire could only pursue the remains of these indigenous people in the wilderness.
Although Wang Pu did not see such a scene when he was alive, there is no doubt that this result was facilitated by Wang Pu and what he wanted to see deep in his heart, because deep in his heart, the vast Mongolian grasslands, the vast Siberia, and the fertile Liaodong land are the most ideal habitats for the Han people except the Central Plains!
However, these are all later stories. At this time, Liaodong was still a desolate and barren land. The first batch of farmers and ranchers were busy dividing the most fertile, most suitable for farming and most suitable for settlement in the Liaohe Plain...
Taiyuan, Shanxi, Wu Sangui's mansion.
When Wu Sanfeng walked into the main hall, he saw Wu Sangui sitting on the chair in a daze, looking a little lonely. Wu Sanfeng thought something big had happened, so he asked quickly: "Second brother, what happened?"
"Hu..." Wu Sangui sighed long and said, "Just received the news that Wang Pu had personally led two battalions of the Central Army to Zijing Pass to meet with Tang Sheng. Judging from this situation, Wang Pu probably knew our plan and planned to attack Datong and cut off our way to flee north to the desert."
"Ah?" Wu Sanfeng said in a lost voice, "What should I do?"
Wu Sangui waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to say, this matter is true, but do you know that Jiannu outside the pass has been exterminated. There is no living left in Shengjing City with more than 100,000 Jiannu, young and old, and it was done by Qu Shixi, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and his security team."
"This Qu Shizi." Wu Sanfeng said sternly, "It's really a Qu shaved head."
Wu Sangui said: "Looking back, it's really like dreaming. I remember that Jiannu had a population of more than 100,000 and less than 40,000 troops, but he had no resistance to the Ming Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of border troops were killed and killed in the fierce battles with Jiannu, and a large area of Liaodong's territory was also lost. But who would have thought that Jiannu would have today!?"
"Yes." Wu Sanfeng sighed, "Not many people can think of this."
"Oh." Wu Sangui sighed, "If we had not led Jiannu into the pass, with the ability of you and my brothers, we would never have been worse than Qu Shisi, Li Chengdong and others. We would have to be a general officer of the Central Army or a governor of any province. If that were the case, there would be no need to go to the desert..."
"Oh." Wu Sanfeng also sighed, "I regret it, I regret it."
The two brothers were speechless. After a while, Wu Sangui said sadly: "It's too late to say this now. Brother, go back and pack up and prepare to run for your life."
Wu Sanfeng cried out, "Second brother, is there really no hope?"
"There is no hope, what else can there be hope?" Wu Sangui said tragically, "Surrender can only be a dead end. Wang Pu can spare others, but he will definitely not spare our Wu family. If you really want to surrender, you and my brother will be killed immediately, and they may even be skinned and cramped to make a human skin lantern."
Wu Sanfeng whispered: "Why might as well ask Li Zicheng for help?"
"Li Zicheng?" Wu Sangui smiled and said, "After the Qingtong Pass, Li Zicheng's Dashun Army had already been damaged. Now he is a clay Buddha who crosses the river and cannot protect himself. What else can he use to save us? Moreover, the main force of the 60,000 Central Army led by Liu Rushi has already advanced to Liaozhou, and Hongniang's vanguard cavalry battalion has even driven westward into Fenzhou. If he doesn't leave at this time, the Central Army will encircle us in Taiyuan in one fell swoop. At that time, even if he wants to leave, he will not be able to leave."
"Okay." Wu Sanfeng nodded and sighed, "Then I'll go and prepare. Oh, I'm going to say that this desert is not a place for people to stay. I heard that it is cold, wind and sand, and adults eat fatty beef and mutton, and it's very fishy. If I don't bring more brocade quilts and Fenjiu salt and pepper, I'm really afraid I'm not used to being stupid."
Watching Wu Sanfeng's figure go away, Wu Sangui can only shake his head and smile bitterly. If he can choose, who would be willing to go into exile to become a herdsman? Unfortunately, Wu Sangui has no choice now. Wu Sangui's army can surrender, but he will never dare to surrender. He knows that Wang Pu can't spare him.
Zijing Pass, Wang Pu’s temporary headquarters.
It was still very hot in August. Wang Pu asked someone to drill two large buckets of well water and pour it into the large bathtub. He added two large pieces of ice to the bucket. Then he immersed himself in the ice water. After being soaked in the cold ice water, Wang Pu only felt comfortable. The dust and fatigue caused by the marching for more than half a month were immediately wiped out.
Wang Pu was about to call Kou Baimen and Neng Niang in and enjoy the rare coolness together. The sound of clear footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. The slightly closed door immediately opened a gap with a silence, and a graceful figure flashed in. Wang Pu turned around and looked at it in a tangential manner when he heard the sound. It was Liu Qingyan's witch.
Wang Pu's eyes immediately lit up and waved repeatedly, "Baby, come here quickly."
Liu Qingyan twisted her waist and swayed her hips to the edge of the bathtub, and smiled charmingly: "Prince, I haven't seen you for almost two months. Do you want me?"
Wang Pu stretched out his strong arms and wrapped them around Liu Qingyan's slender waist, and smiled and said, "I think about it, of course I think about it."
Liu Qingyan laughed and said, "What do you think? Where do you think of me?"
"Slutty hoof, I haven't sucked your butt for a few days, isn't itchy again?" Wang Pu's burning eyes moved past Liu Qingyan's plump and fiery body, and finally frozen on Liu Qingyan's round buttocks wrapped in military trousers. Looking at the two round and attractive plump curves, he smiled lewdly, "From head to toe, there is no place I don't want, come in and you!"
Liu Qingyan exclaimed, and her whole body had been lifted up by Wang Pu. When her figure fell down again, she was already soaked in the cold water. Wang Pu's scorching male body had already been pressed from behind, and her strong chest and abdomen were tightly pressed against Liu Qingyan's back and buttocks.
"Let's deal with you again and talk about the serious matters first. How are you doing that?"
"Prince, don't worry, I've done it."
Wang Pu relaxed his muscles all over his body and asked, "Tell me, look."
Liu Qingyan said: "According to the prince's wishes, I was dressed up and sneaked into Taiyuan, contacted General Zhao Liujin, and then conveyed the prince's plan to General Zhao. General Zhao had already arranged everything. If nothing unexpected happens, he should take action in the next few days."
Wang Pu said: "Can he do Zhao Liujin?"
"Geeh..." Liu Qingyan laughed and said, "I really don't know if Zhao Liujin can do it in bed. This prince has to ask his woman. However, in the officialdom, Zhao Liujin is definitely a versatile person. He is also a top-notch master when playing tricks. The Wu brothers are far from his opponent."
"Well, what's right." Wang Pu nodded repeatedly, "If Zhao Liujin had no ability, I would have died many times. When I was the general in Datong, this guy was the deputy general. Later, Jiang Xiang became the general in Datong, and he was the deputy general. Later, Jiang Xiang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and rebelled and was killed by Jiannu. Zhao Liujin was safe and sound and continued to be his deputy general in Datong."
"When Jiannu was defeated and Wu Sangui occupied Shanxi, Zhao Liujin could still gain a foothold in Datong. This shows that this guy does have two tricks, otherwise he would not be able to eat so well."
"So..." Liu Qingyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Wu brothers can't escape."
Taiyuan, Wu Sangui's mansion.
Shortly after his brother Wu Sanfeng left, Wu Sangui sent someone to find Zhao Liujin.
Speaking of which, Wu Sangui actually didn't trust Zhao Liujin at first, or until now, Wu Sangui didn't trust Zhao Liujin very much, but Wu Sangui was too few people who could do things alone, and Zhao Liujin was too good at doing things. Over time, Wu Sangui began to rely on Zhao Liujin and always left everything to Zhao Liujin to do, and Zhao Liushou could always do things perfectly, making Wu Sangui unable to pick on it.
For example, when I escaped to the desert this time, the most annoying thing was preparing military rations and the necessary daily necessities after I arrived in the desert. These were all very broken things, ranging from iron pots, fire twisters, salt and Fenjiu. Nothing was done in detail, so Wu Sangui handed over these things to Zhao Liujin.
After meeting, Wu Sangui asked directly: "Liujin, how did the things I told you?"
Zhao Liujin smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been done. After arriving in the desert, you have a lot of daily necessities. The salt you carry is enough for 20,000 troops to eat for more than ten years! In addition, Youyi specially prepared hundreds of jars of high-quality Fenjiu for the prince, and filled the ten carts. Hehe."
"Yeah." Wu Sangui said happily, "Six jin, things are done well. After I arrive at the desert, I will definitely receive a lot of rewards."
Zhao Liujin quickly hugged his fists and bowed, "Thank you, the prince, thank you."
"Oh by the way, Liujin, wait a moment." Zhao Liujin turned around and was called away by Wu Sangui again, and said, "There is another thing you have to solve."
Zhao Liujin smiled flatteringly and said, "But according to the prince's order."
Wu Sangui stepped forward and hugged Zhao Liujin's shoulder affectionately, and said in a harmonious voice: "That's right, isn't this going to the desert? The soldiers in the army will inevitably have some thoughts. People are always nostalgic for their hometown. This king can understand this, but this is a forced one, so you still have to talk to the soldiers and advise everyone to think more."
Zhao Liujin said: "Prince, this... is afraid that he will not be able to do the job."
Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Don't be modest if you are Liujin. I know that you are very eloquent and speak very inspiringly. Just tell the soldiers and outline them more about the beautiful life after they arrive at the grassland, such as the cattle, sheep and livestock on the grassland, and the Mongolian women on the grassland, haha."
Zhao Liujin said, "But the prince, why don't you come forward?"
Wu Sangui said: "I have other important things to do. You can just come forward. I trust you completely."
Zhao Liujin said with a sigh: "Since the prince trusts the humble position so much, then the humble position will abduct power this time."
"Haha, go." Wu Sangui smiled, "As long as you do this, I will reward you heavily by then. No matter how many cattle, sheep, animals or beautiful Mongolian women you want, I will satisfy you."
"Thank you, Prince, I have left."
Zhao Liujin bowed with his fists, turned around and left.
Watching Zhao Liujin's figure go away, the smile on the corner of Wu Sangui's mouth gradually solidified and gradually turned into a cold smile.
In fact, the reason why Wu Sangui asked Zhao Liujin to do this was not entirely due to trust in Zhao Liujin, but for another sinister purpose that was ulterior motive.
Because Wu Sangui knew that life would never be smooth after he arrived at the grassland. Even if the main force of the Taurus cavalry had been destroyed in Jining, there were quite a few Taurus soldiers who remained on the grassland. So at the beginning, the Guanning Army would never have had a good life.
At this time, the Guanning soldiers inevitably had resentment and homesickness. At this time, Wu Sangui needed to find a scapegoat to vent the resentment in the Guanning soldiers' hearts. Zhao Liujin was undoubtedly the most ideal scapegoat, because before coming to the grassland, all kinds of beautiful promises were made by Zhao Liujin. Now that these promises have not been realized, of course, Zhao Liujin has to be responsible, not Wu Sangui.
