Qin Jianxun has just turned sixteen this year. He rides a white horse, wears a white robe, and holds a white spear measuring seven feet tall. He has a tall and tall figure. Although he is not tall, he is a heroic boy with a face full of acne.
Not long after, the white-robed young man died in Hunhe, and thousands of white-robed soldiers died with him.
After the Battle of Saarhu, Sichuan's white soldiers were frequently transferred to Liaodong and were gradually exhausted in the game between the various parties in Liao Town.
The bottomless pit of Liaodong consumes not only millions of taels of silver in people's fat and oil every year, but also a steady stream of powerful troops coming from all over the country.
Approaching Kuandian, the road gradually became smoother, and the East Route Army and the Sichuan Army advanced side by side.
In the past few days, the defeated troops have been collected one after another. The number of the East Route Army has exceeded 10,000, and the organization of each battalion has been completely disrupted. Except for the few thousand Koreans who do not understand the language and like to run around, the remaining troops are directly assigned to Liu Zhaosun. Jurisdiction has become his servant.
The soldiers on both sides looked at each other and carefully observed the opposite army.
The white-armed soldiers all wore straw sandals, covered with rattan armor, toast jackets, felt hats on their heads, and held white-armed guns in their hands.
The soldiers of the East Route Army belonged to different military camps. Each of them had different styles of armor and a variety of weapons in their hands, which dazzled all the Sichuan soldiers.
Before the two armies converged, Liu Zhaosun called the commanders of each battalion and gave these tough bosses many orders, especially emphasizing that everyone should have a good relationship with this friendly army. If the soldiers under any battalion head dared to cause trouble for no reason, they would all be seduced.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Liu Wei and Chieftain Qin quickly warmed up to each other and began to call themselves brothers.
Knowing that the slave thieves had retreated, Qin Jianxun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. In the past few days, he led his white soldiers to gallop through the starry night to reinforce Kuandian. He suffered a lot on the way, but he didn't expect that the journey would be in vain in the end.
These white-armed soldiers who came from Chengdu were determined to fight against Jiannu. Qin Jianxun, who led them, was not afraid of tigers even after he was born. He thought every day when he would be able to fight with swords and spears like his fathers did. Make great achievements on the battlefield.
"Brother, don't be discouraged, Jianu will be here soon."
Qin Jianxun asked doubtfully: "Brother Liu, you mean that the Tatars are still going to catch up?"
Liu Zhaosun laughed loudly:
"Yes, they will come to attack Shenyang and Liaoyang."
Qin Jianxun disagreed. He went to Shenyang for a few days and saw with his own eyes that the city was high and the pond was deep. Except for Liao Town, the total number of reinforcements from various places exceeded 20,000, and many of them were still on the way.
Shenyang is so strong, how dare a small Jianzhou Jurchen attack?
Just now I heard Liu Zhaosun vividly describe the scene of defeating Xianglan Banner. The Ming army pursued Amin for forty miles, defeated the main force of Xianglan Banner, and forced Erbeile to the point of almost throwing himself into the river.
At first, Qin Jianxun thought that Liu Zhaosun was bragging, so he regarded him as an old man who killed good people, took credit for his work, drank the blood of his soldiers, and ate empty pay. When he came into close contact with this Ming army, he couldn't help but be shocked by the unique temperament they exuded, and ordered and prohibited them. , murderous.
Especially when the white-robed general saw with his own eyes the densely packed heads of slaves loaded on the carriage behind him, he finally looked at Brother Liu with admiration.
As a descendant of the Shizhu Xuanwei Envoy, Qin Jianxun pursued loyalty, filial piety and justice since childhood, taking his fathers as role models. The Shizhu Qin family can be said to be one of the few chieftains loyal to the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty.
In the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, Yang Yinglong rebelled. Qin Liangyu led the white pole soldiers to defeat him, and successively attacked seven camps including Jin Zhuguan.
After that, the Qin family assisted various officers and soldiers in Youyang to attack Sangmuguan and defeated Yang Yinglong's army. Qin Liangyu ranked first in the Nanchuan Road in military merit, but he never claimed his military merit.
It is said that when things are done, you just brush off your clothes and leave no merit or reputation.
The two armies continued southward and walked for two days without incident. On March 11, the army finally arrived in Kuandian.
The news that the Eastern Route Army repulsed the Xianglan Banner spread in Kuandian earlier.
When Liu Zhaosun and Amin were fighting in the north, envoys from the Hou Jin Dynasty came to Kuandian to persuade them to surrender and informed them of the defeat of Dusong Marin.
The envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty said that Kuandian would be like Fushun. As long as they surrendered immediately, the guards would be reinstated. Otherwise, if the army captured the city, they would massacre the city. The Kuandian guards were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, sending reports every now and then. Ask Yang Hao for help.
However, Shenyang was already in chaos. The governors and censors were criticizing each other, and the visiting soldiers and Liao soldiers were busy fighting. No one had time to care about Kuandian's life and death.
Just as General Kuandian was preparing for further contact with the Houjin envoy, news of the defeat of Xianglan Banner came from the north.
Kuandian, this important fortress in southern Liaoning, finally ushered in spring after experiencing a terrifying haze for half a month.
Seeing the East Route Army coming back, the carriages were piled with hundreds of heads. These generals often dealt with Jian Nu. They could see at a glance that it was the head of a real barbarian. They knew that the East Route Army had not suffered a loss in this battle, at least they had killed Thousands of Tartars.
No matter what standard you follow, killing a thousand-level Jiannu warrior is a real victory.
It should be noted that when Li Chengliang obtained the heads of more than a dozen slaves, he would send people to the capital to show off their achievements.
Kuandian Fort was crowded with Han people who had fled from Liaodong. After all, most Han people in Liaodong did not want to be wrapped in clothes.
Knowing that the Xianglan Banner was defeated and that the Ming army defeated the Eight Banners (even the weakest one), the morale of the army was greatly boosted.
In Kuandian City, except for the lurking slave thieves Xinzuo and the Han people who had become Jurchens, all the Han people were in high spirits.
The storm was about to come, and after Nurhaci captured Fushun, the threat of Jiannu to the Han people became more and more obvious.
Massacres in cities were very common in this era. Such border vendettas often resulted in rivers of blood being shed, leaving no one behind.
While people were celebrating, they learned that the commander-in-chief of the East Route Ming Army, General Liu, had died in battle.
During his lifetime, Liu Wei defeated the Burmese bandits, Luoxiong, Korean Japanese, Bo chieftains, and Tuo in hundreds of battles, and his reputation was renowned throughout the country.
Liu Wei's name has already spread throughout the Jiubian and Fourteenth Army towns, and Kuandian is no exception. When the news spread, all Kuandian scholars were sentimental, and some literati wrote poems to express their condolences.
Riding eastward and westward for many years, riding in triumph with full lapels;
The army in Sanba breaks out in Longquan, and the beacon smoke and wild geese sink in June.
The gate is self-defeating and has white hair, who can be so cruel in the temple corridor?
Good bows and birds are all useless, slowly adjusting the fishing rod to catch the sea.
Half a month ago, the old and strong general set out from Kuandian, but he never expected that when he came back, he would be wrapped in horse leather!
In order to boost the morale of the people, Liu Zhaosun ordered that a thousand heads of slaves captured be placed at the north gate of Kuandian for the soldiers and people to visit. Suddenly, there was a flood of spectators. As a result, Mr. Liu had to send his servants to maintain order.
News that the Eastern Route Army defeated Jiannu also spread throughout Liaoning.
Tens of thousands of refugees came from all directions to seek refuge with Liu Zhaosun.
Not everyone wants to be a slave. Nurhachi is friendly to slaves, and can even be said to be full of patience, but he doesn't have much patience for these Han people who don't want to be slaves and don't want to die.
Most of the families of the refugees who came to seek refuge were massacred by Hou Jin. They had a blood feud with the Hou Jin regime.
The Liao people were fierce and brave, and many young and strong men only wanted revenge. They brought their own money and food to follow Boss Liu.
Some of the old, weak, women and children who escaped died of cold and starvation because they were too weak. Around Kuandian, the living and the dead mixed together, like a ghostland.
Mr. Liu conducted several soul-calling activities in Kuandian. He climbed to a high platform and prayed like a Nuo god in western Hunan. With the support of strong religious beliefs, the Liao people spread his reputation to farther places...
Many years later, Liu Zhaosun has become a legend, comparable to gods, spread among the white mountains and black waters in the era, and became a place of awe for Liao people like Wong Tai Sin.
Many people witnessed with their own eyes that this Ming army was a hero who killed the Tatars.
Those young and strong men who wanted to avenge their relatives brought their own money and food and joined Liu Zhaosun's command, vowing to follow him to the death.
Kang Yingqian reminded General Manager Liu that recruiting troops privately without a quota of troops would be a serious crime.
It is a serious crime to seize someone privately, and your head will be lost, but that will have to wait until the court sends people to Liaodong to behead him.
"The sky is high and the emperor is far away, the sky will change in Liaodong. If there are more people, we won't be afraid of wind and rain!"
