Time flies.
Soon it was evening. After looking at the sky, the farmers took their water bottles, left the fields, and returned to Zhangguang Fort.
Xu Shanhai is one of them. He is twenty-five years old this year, an age in which he is in full swing. He is ordinary-looking and has a tall build, which is different from ordinary people.
The Xu family has been a military family for generations. Although they have never held an official position, the basic physical fighting techniques, sword skills, and spear skills have been passed down.
Xu Shanhai is not weak in martial arts, but he has not joined the army and does not belong to the ranks of soldiers in Baihu. After the Meng Yuan people went south, he did not serve as a soldier under the Meng Yuan people.
In his opinion, no one, whether they were former officials or Mongolian people, was a good person. And if we want to say who is worse, of course it is the Meng Yuan people.
Before Xu Shanhai entered the castle, he looked at the wooden pole on the right side of the road. There were several dried human heads hanging on it.
Some flies hovered over people's heads, making an unpleasant sound.
One of them is his friend named Han Chongshan, a bloody man.
After Xu Shanhai stopped for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the city gate. A Mongolian officer and ten Han soldiers guarded the city gate and watched the people entering and leaving the city gate with eager eyes.
Xu Shanhai did not cause trouble, lowered his head calmly, and entered the castle. After returning home, Xu Shanhai's ladies had already prepared dinner.
A few little carrot heads eagerly looked at the food on the square table and kept swallowing their saliva.
Xu Shanhai smiled and called his wife and children to come over and have dinner together. After eating, Xu Shanhai poured himself a bowl of turbid wine, peeled the peanuts and ate them.
Halfway through the meal, the mother-in-law lifted the curtain and walked in, followed by her neighbor He Jinshun.
"The head of the house. Xiao He is here." After saying this, the mother-in-law lowered the curtain and left. He Jinshun walked in, took the bowl very politely, came to the table and sat down, poured himself a bowl of wine, and drank it in large gulps. He drank half the bowl, and for a while, he was so drunk that he felt red in the face. .
"Brother, when do you think our days will end?" He Jinshun said in a low voice with a ferocious look on his face.
Wherever there is oppression, there will of course be resistance.
The human heads hanging on wooden poles outside the city gate cannot scare anyone.
Xu Shanhai and He Jinshun grew up together, and they are both courageous people, so naturally they got involved in private.
"Don't be anxious. With our strength, resistance will only lead to death. We have to use external force." Xu Shanhai said calmly.
Han Chongshan's incident made him know something.
The mantis's arm is like a chariot, and he does not know his own strength.
The Mongolian people plus the Han soldiers who were attached to the Mongolian people. For them, it is simply too powerful.
and. Even if their resistance succeeds.
Can they resist the Mongolian soldiers in the county?
Totally impossible.
After a pause, Xu Shanhai bent down and whispered to He Jinshun: "Now three thousand households of the Mongolian people are besieging General Wu. This is a very important war. If General Wu can hold on. With his character, Then we won’t be stuck in Beishan Fort and will expand outward. When the time comes, it will be our opportunity.”
"Zhang Guang Fort is not far from Beishan Fort."
Hearing Wu Nian's name, He Jinshun's face also showed a solemn look. Let’s not talk about the plague, let’s just say that now the entire Liaodong has surrendered. Wu Nian took up the banner of [Yanhan] and fought in the Beishan Fort. He won consecutive battles and even attracted three Mongolian and Yuan households to besiege him.
There were many people cheering secretly, and He Jinshun was certainly one of them.
"General Wu is indeed a hero. But now he is besieged by three Meng Yuan households. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive." He Jinshun clenched his fists, with a worried look on his face, and sighed.
"If it weren't for my old father's old age, I would have taken my family and defected to General Wu a long time ago. It would be better to have more people and more swords. Now I can only watch."
"What a coward." He Jinshun said, raised the wine bowl, drank the rest of the wine, picked up the peanuts, and ate them.
"I have full confidence in General Wu. He can survive and hit Fort Zhang Guang. Do you remember that sentence?"
"Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars. Whoever can accomplish this kind of thing will not be the second choice in Liaodong except General Wu."
Xu Shanhai is more confident than He Jinshun, and he is full of confidence. Smiling, he picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of the turbid wine, his brows brightening.
There are so many sparks in Liaodong that all it takes is one big fire to ignite. They all hoped that Wu Nian could really carry the banner.
Fulfill that statement.
"Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars."
When Wu Nian reached Zhang Guangbao, it was dawn for them, and it was also the time for them to join Wu Nian's army and rise up to resist.
How can a dignified man be a barbarian lackey?
Live as a Han Chinese and die as a Han ghost.
Otherwise, there is no third option.
"Yes." After hearing what Xu Shanhai said, He Jinshun felt much relieved. He was no longer anxious or irritable. He nodded calmly, with a look of longing in his eyes.
"Da da da."
There was a sound of footsteps. Xu Shanhai's mother-in-law lifted the curtain again and walked in, saying, "Master. Dong Yunming sent someone here and asked you to repair the canal tomorrow."
"Humph, lackey." Without waiting for Xu Shanhai's reply, He Jinshun opened his eyes, showing murderous intent, and cursed.
Dong Yunming. Thirty-two years old, he was originally a scholar of Chu State. He has quite a high status in Zhang Guangbao. After the Mongolian people went south, all the officials fled. Dong Yunming did not run away. He stayed in Zhangguang Fort and fought fiercely with the Mongolian people. He is currently in the fort.
Dong Yunming is the highest-status person among the Han people, commonly known as "Two Devils". If anything happens, the Meng Yuan people will ask him to organize it.
For example, recruiting strong men, repairing city walls, building canals, building bridges and paving roads, etc.
Dong Yunming was not ashamed of this, but rather proud of it. He was always shouting and drinking, and he was very majestic in Zhangguang Fort. He walked evenly and steadily, with his nostrils pointed in the sky.
"I know." Xu Shanhai looked back at his mother-in-law and replied. After the mother-in-law left, Xu Shanhai said to He Jinshun: "He won't be proud for long. When General Wu becomes a prairie fire and hits Zhang Guang Fort, we will kill Dong Yunming."
"Yeah. Let me take action when the time comes." He Jinshun nodded with a grin, raised his right hand in front of his chest, and clenched it into a fist.
"Go to sleep. We have to work tomorrow. Also, be patient. Don't talk about these things everywhere. People's hearts are apart from each other. If you are reported, not only will you be beheaded, but your family members will also be given to Meng Yuan. People make slaves.”
Xu Shanhai warned.
Han Chongshan died, and his head hung outside the fort. His family members are currently working as slaves to serve the Meng Yuan people.
His wife was very young and beautiful. She was tortured by the Mongolian people in every possible way. She couldn't bear the humiliation and hanged herself.
Every time Xu Shanhai thinks about it, he feels extremely painful. But he endured it, hiding his minions and waiting for the opportunity. He could not hold a grudge for the rest of his life just because of a moment of bloody courage.
"Yeah." He Jinshun also knew the power, so he responded seriously, grabbed a handful of peanuts and left.
