The serf leader who incited internal strife was named Buchi.
Buchi was a poor woman who was born in Sumang.
The meaning of this name is similar to the Chinese way of recruiting a younger brother, which means that she is the eldest sister in the family, and it also means that the parents want to have another son.
Her parents were Master Su Mang's servant. When she was eight years old, her family paid her back to Master Su Mang as a slave when they could not pay the interest on their debt.
Master Su Mang was not bad to her. He got a group of sheep for her to raise, and even built a two-foot-high earthen wall for her in the sheepfold to protect her from the wind.
Most people in the world have their own interests and hobbies, and Mr. Su Mang is no exception. He likes to manage territory and reproduce the population.
Su Mang himself does not breed, and he still has no sons, but he likes to let his slaves reproduce the population and promote the prosperity of the territory.
He doesn't like monks because monks will affect the prosperity of his territory. First, men will become monks, reducing the labor force. Second, monks will select concubines, further affecting the population of the territory.
Over time, the territory was artificially balanced between men and women.
Su Mang couldn't stop the monks from choosing concubines, but he could prevent his subjects from becoming monks.
This resulted in a situation where there were more men than women in the territory.
Buchi had been herding sheep for Master Su Mang for five years. Due to population problems and Buchi's name having good wishes, Master Su Mang gave her to his first husband in Longda.
The first husband was four brothers, all slaves. After they got married, the four brothers took turns staying at home, while the other three brothers went to work for the noble master. They lived a hard and poor life, and could only maintain a very low standard of living.
The advantage is that the five husbands and wives get along harmoniously, and their life is not bad.
But just surviving has become a fantasy.
Because Bu Chi's marriage was a marriage exchange in the eyes of Mr. Su Mang.
Su Mang married a woman, and Long Da also wanted to marry a woman. But they had only been married for three years, and Bu Chi had already given birth to two babies for Master Long Da's slaves, and was pregnant with another one. The woman Long Da married He'll get sick and die.
Master Su Mang has lost a lot of money. Seven of them are dissatisfied and eight are dissatisfied. They want to gather people to fight Master Longda and get Bu Chi back.
Mr. Long Da thought it was a good idea for me. Bu Chi had already given birth to two children, so he simply sent her back to Su Mang's territory.
In this way, Bu Chi got a second husband in Sumang territory, this time three brothers.
This time, Buchi was not so lucky. The three brothers beat and scolded her. Buchi's life was dark, and she felt that she was going to see the Buddha soon.
I just don’t know if I can see it.
Buchi also has two younger sisters and four younger brothers. The situation is similar to hers. The three sisters have a total of fourteen husbands, and the four younger brothers have only one wife.
In this Danbei army that recruited slaves from all over the country, all seven of Buchi's husbands were in the army.
As a family, they can put together a regular team.
I think back when Mr. Dan Bei joined the army, the number of men under his command was about the same as the number of men around Bu Chi.
There are not many women in the army. Most of them are human-shaped mules, working as porters to carry the army's baggage.
Buchi doesn't do this. She is a shepherdess who once entered Danba Manor to collect information on the order of her master.
She met Danba's slave at the manor. The young boy was crazy and excited. He dragged her and kept talking about his wishes, telling how Master Basang wanted to allocate land to the slaves, let the slaves be their own masters, and make all the slave owners hungry. die.
It's a pity that Buchi is not smart, at least not as smart as Basang. She can say anything.
She told her master everything she knew.
So that the master's nephew was so angry that she sneaked back to the territory with Master Danba and deceived the young slave into the cave.
Buchi didn't want to harm anyone, she just wanted to show kindness to her master.
Perhaps Mr. Su Mang, out of kindness, would waive the interest on her debt this year.
Maybe the three husbands would be a little happy and stop punching and kicking her.
But right under her nose, the slave was subjected to all the punishments she could imagine by Master Danba.
She was very scared. If she closed her eyes, she would return to the deep cave with dim light.
In the cave, Master Danba's eyes were so tired that he was leaning against the wall, panting. The corners of his mouth were raised and his face was stiff. He gritted his teeth and cursed softly, scolding the slave for dying too early.
Master Danba pointed at the bloody man with only half of his skin left and said, this is what will happen if you believe those nonsense.
After that day, Buchi was always looking for a voice.
She didn't understand that there were clearly many horrific scenes that would never be forgotten that day, but she could only clearly remember the sound of the skinning knife slipping from the master's hand.
The blade struck the stone, echoing in the cave and ringing in my ears.
Buchi would always hear that voice.
When her husband hit her yesterday, she heard that sound again.
She knew that her husband would be angry. Among her second husbands, the eldest brother was extremely loyal to Master Su Mang and always thought that he would be appreciated in this war.
He believed that he was fighting for Su Mang's land and that he was also a part of Su Mang.
But what a slave is can never be decided by himself. It depends on what the master thinks he is.
Dai Benjun reorganized three units and let them go home. It suddenly became very clear who was one of his own and who was not trustworthy.
The husband will naturally be angry. The three brothers should not have been assigned to this team in the first place. They have homes and families and should be thrown into the next battle by the master as the main force.
But Buchi is also here, making them untrustworthy.
Originally this was a trivial matter to Buchi, but it happened to be seen by the four ex-husbands who were also in the team. The seven men fought in a group, and then the seven brothers-in-law, two sons, and four nephews also joined in the fight.
In Buchi's ears, the echo of the skinning knife hitting the stone was coherent and loud, even accompanied by the voice of the skinned slave.
She must have been haunted by a ghost. The ghost repeated those excited and crazy words, saying that slaves should be their own masters. In Danba, slaves can be their own masters.
In this valley full of slaves, she knew more than twenty men who fought with each other. Since men are so aggressive, why not make their own decisions to fight others?
Buchi didn't want any of the men to be beaten to death, but she didn't know how to stop the men from fighting.
The method came to the door by himself, and official Ruben who came to stop the riot was killed by Bu Chi like a sheep, and he wiped his neck with a knife.
Blood sprayed all over her face, and even the ghosts chattering in her ears were frightened by her and did not dare to say any more words.
The men's fighting stopped.
Buchi pointed to his husband, brother-in-law, son and nephews and told them that they would all be killed when their master came back.
The husbands waved their fists, but Buchi didn't even hide. Looking at the knife in her hand, the three brothers were at a loss.
Then she repeated the ghost's words and wanted to take them to escape to the Danba territory, where the slaves could be their own masters and get land and a better life.
The ex-husbands clapped and laughed and joined her. Ever since Master Su Mang took away their wives, the four brothers had been without wives for a long time.
Danbei selected these serfs who were easy to rebel, creating favorable conditions for Buchi. On the one hand, the people had no worries, and on the other hand, there were no officers. It was difficult for the scattered slaves to deal with the more than 20 men around Buchi.
Not to mention, this woman always said that she heard some noise...it was creepy.
Dai Daozi searched all over his troops, but could not find anyone who understood the Western language. He also asked all the slaves, but no one could understand Chinese.
But for such special talents, language barrier is not a problem.
For a well-trained slave, the master knows what to do with just one look, not to mention that Dai Daozi also has hands and feet.
However, his wish to set fire to the grain and grass failed. A large group of slaves, led by Buchi, transported the grain and grass out of the valley overnight before looking for somewhere else to rest.
On the next day, Dai Daozi ordered the Tang cavalry to escort the slaves to the Danba territory and led a few followers back to the valley.
If you can't burn food, you have to burn something.
They set fire to the tents and everything they could burn that had been left in the valley on behalf of our army.
Seeing the black smoke rising into the sky, Dai Daozi was satisfied. The news of the attack on the grain storage camp in the rear would soon be known to the enemy on the front line. He hoped that this could help Basang, Wailiangzi and others in Danba Manor.
At the other end of the Gaiqu River, a new day of fighting began when Danbei Daiben ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Xie Erhu, who was looking at the enemy camp in the morning, found that the enemy camp was empty, and immediately sent Mongolian herdsmen to investigate, and then launched a tracking and pursuit in ecstasy.
Danbei Daiben knew that when the Mongolian leader saw the enemy fleeing, he would launch a fierce pursuit, and the battlefield in the pursuit was chosen by them, and they could strike back whenever they wanted.
His target was not the Mongols.
The Mongols came and went, victorious or defeated, and had no impact on the nobles of Kham. Basang was his target.
With the presence of this guy who took back land and distributed it to slaves, all the nobles couldn't sleep at night.
His plan was to see if Basang would chase him out. If he did, he would kill him directly outside the manor. If he didn't chase him out, he would use heavy cavalry to defeat the Mongolian soldiers and make them roll back behind the bead curtain. Manor, in order to completely defeat this stubborn slave army.
The biggest problem with this strategy is not to defeat the Mongolian soldiers. In Danbei, we don’t know whether the Mongolian army will chase them out, but the possibility of pursuit is very high.
After all, these Mongolian herdsmen looked quite poor.
The poor army has a greater desire to beat up the drowned dog, and even more bluntly, they want to obtain the spoils of victory.
In fact, Xie Erhu's Mongolian herdsmen only have a small number of troops, but their equipment level is among the best in Qinghai Mongolia.
In Haibei, tribesmen like him can intimidate any Xifan tribe; but not in Kham, where there are large nobles who combine farming and animal husbandry, and they can already laugh at their poverty.
Compared with the Shaanxi three-sided light cavalry of the Ming army, Baili cavalry, which generally wears a chainmail armor, is not heavy, and is even lighter than the light cavalry.
But for the Mongolian cavalry, which was generally equipped with leather armor, and especially used a large number of bone-copper arrowheads, the chain armor was heavy and frighteningly strong.
On the alpine grassland northwest of the Gaiqu River, over a hillside, King Baili's 300-horse team launched a surprise attack on the pursuing Mongolian horse team with the momentum of a three-party encirclement.
Xie Erhu immediately realized that the enemy was retreating and quickly turned back and fled.
In yesterday's cavalry battle, Xie Erhu's four hundred cavalrymen killed nineteen or twenty of the enemy's cavalry at the cost of thirty-two killed, twelve injured, and twelve missing. The wounded were not counted.
The futility here does not mean that there are too many injuries to count, and it is impossible to count the casualties of the enemy cavalry.
With their level of equipment, achieving such a result can be regarded as a brilliant victory, but the cost was to use up the steel forged arrowheads from Cowan in the hands of the cavalry.
If you can't take advantage and control the battlefield, you won't be able to get loot, and you won't even be able to pick up the arrows you shot.
Today they no longer dare to face off against the Duokang Cavalry.
It's not that they are timid, it's just that their productivity is too ruthless. If they use iron arrow clusters to hit iron armor, even if they are shirtless, some people will dare to fight with them.
But if you use bone or even stone arrowheads to hit iron armor, you can't beat it, and your courage is out of date and useless.
Xie Erhu's cavalry was driven into two formations, one northwest and one southeast, and fled toward the Danba Manor in the northeast. Realizing that it was a false retreat, they did not exist and fought and retreated.
Wailiangzi was looking at the pipe he picked up on yesterday's battlefield on the manor, when he suddenly saw the dust stirred up by the Mongolian cavalry in the distance. He was keenly aware that they were running too panicked, so he hurried downstairs and asked Paoze to blow the horn.
He saw the Bailiduokang cavalry behind the Mongolian cavalry, and even saw the large group of people behind the cavalry forming a formation, leaving behind the large horizontal group and walking towards the manor.
The Han soldiers moved into defensive positions one after another, and the slave army slowly began to gather. Then they were frightened by the pursuing Mongolian cavalry, and they were all confused and confused.
Fortunately, Xie Erhu also had a lot of combat experience. He did not let the cavalry attack the main formation, but jumped left and right in front of the fleeing cavalry. Finally, he gathered his troops a hundred steps away from the manor, and led the cavalry to run from the right side of the manor to the left.
The Mongolian cavalry ran past the front of the manor and immediately circled to the rear, hoping to bypass the ditch from the side and rear and organize to defend the enemy without attacking the slave barracks in front.
However, most of the Dokang horse team did not pursue them anymore. They held their spears straight and rushed towards the slave barracks unabated.
The hastily assembled slaves had no choice but to set up their spears, but before the enemy cavalry could rush forward, their calves began to tremble, and the galloping horses' hooves rushed towards them as if the earth was shaking.
Scattered feather arrows came flying at thirty steps. The cavalry in the front row lowered their heads slightly, making an impact. In fact, they only held the reins, ready to turn their horses' heads after ten steps.
But they won.
The power exceeded the maximum limit that the slave infantry could withstand. The phalanx in front of the trench collapsed instantly. Some people dropped their spears and ran away, while more people stood firm and stood firm, but their momentum was obviously compromised.
Some of the cavalrymen lifted their reins and crossed the trench, hitting the small gap that was only three steps after the brief collapse. More cavalrymen turned their horses' heads to the wings, but only took a few steps before turning back again, preparing to join the next impact.
The military formation had been broken, and the slave barracks was routted. They dropped their weapons and fled towards the manor. The bead curtain rolled back was unstoppable.
At this moment, the light and heavy fire cannons on the front of the Chinese defense line released huge smoke, and a row of projectiles of various sizes penetrated into the charging cavalry formation.
Before the smoke cleared, a rolled-up flag came out of the smoke, and the armor and skirts swayed. A warrior wearing dragon-patterned cotton armor jumped over the ditch, raised his tasselless helmet gun, wrinkled and straightened his nose, and shook the flagpole. The big flag with Liu characters on the red bottom was unfurled.
Behind him, figures jumped out of the smoke and gathered together. Two hundred and forty Han troops formed a horizontal formation in the flowing army on both wings. With their backs against the trench, they stepped forward to welcome the surging cavalry. Spear in hand.
"Lion Army, form up!"
