Sakda was a very ordinary veteran of the Eight Banners. When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, because of the urgent need to expand the army, the clan leader easily dragged him into the army. At that time, the leader told him, "Grab food for the winter and go home when it snows." He just followed the brigade away, but twelve years have passed since then and he has never been able to return to the outside world.
Compared with those veterans of the Ji Liao Chen war for many years, Sakda is just an ordinary herdsman, and he can't beat him with a few sticks. In essence, he is no different from the Chinese villagers. In addition to being proficient in riding horses because of herding, he is neither good at riding nor shooting, nor is he proficient in fighting skills, so he cannot be an elite soldier in charge. So someone gave him a sharpened stick as a weapon, so he just held it and walked silently behind the others.
The Manchus were not short of horses at that time, but they were short of iron. Even if there are eight Shanxi merchants who work hard to betray the country and travel thousands of miles to send salt, iron, and information. Unfortunately, the transportation capacity at that time was just that, not to mention that smuggling was risky and had to be managed up and down. Goods from ten kiosks could be transported to five kiosks at most outside the customs. Therefore, only the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners had iron weapons at that time, and ordinary soldiers had iron spear heads.
As for Sakda, he was reluctant to bring his own short sword, so he only had a mighty wooden stick...
Like many herdsmen holding wooden sticks and going to the battlefield for the first time, Sakda was marching among the army. In order to make himself look less bad, the rotten Ming Dynasty tried his best to whitewash it by bragging about the enemy's strength. How difficult it is for the kings in the court - "If there are not even ten thousand Jurchens, they will be invincible". As a result, the bullshit ended up scaring me.
So much so that in Ming Dynasty, whenever I saw a large number of Jurchen troops except for the border troops, my first thought was: I can't defeat them, so I ran away... Sakda walked in the middle of the troops with a wooden stick, just to make the army look more majestic. , I was told to run slower and stay behind when charging.
The name Sakda means "wild boar" in the Jurchen people, but Sakda's character is not like a wild boar at all. He is much smarter than a wild boar. Perhaps out of Xiaomin's cunningness, what he was quietly pondering in his mind happened to be his exact positioning. He was just a fill-in... So when the battle went well and the people around him were so stimulated by the blood that their eyes turned red and they moaned and wanted to make contributions like others, he quietly hid behind them.
Fight and win. Those people excitedly dropped their sticks and went to grab the weapons from the Ming army's corpses, but he was the only one who still held his stick and remained silent. Then in the next battle, those with weapons will naturally be moved to the front of the team. Only Sakda still holds his wooden stick and stays there... After several of the most critical bloody battles, the former "acquaintance" The casualties were heavy. But Sakda didn't even scratch his oily skin.
He just held a wooden stick and followed the army in a daze into Shanhaiguan and into Beijing, fighting all the way from north to south... Until one day, he suddenly heard that the army in front collapsed and tens of thousands died. people! Then he turned around and ran north with the army... It was only then that his captain scratched his head and discovered that Sakda was still carrying the wooden stick brought from outside the pass!
Sakda is such a legendary figure... Of course, the so-called legend is just a figure in Bingdanzi's eyes. Those who joined the army at the same time as him were the only ones who survived. At worst, he could be a general among the Han army flags, but he is still a soldier. When the Manchus entered the customs, their merits were judged based on their heads, and calculations were extremely strict. But even though Sakda followed the team for thousands of miles and secretly hid a lot of money, he never killed anyone...
*****
Only later did he learn that the entire army turned around and ran away that day because Ran Min, the Han Wu Miao King, appeared and killed tens of thousands of Jurchens at the gate of Yangzhou City! Almost everyone in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty wore mourning. Even his own banner master, Prince Kang, died in the battle at Yangzhou City!
He really didn’t know who King Wu Dao was. He is probably a god from the Central Plains. Sakda originally watched the Jurchens slaughtering all the way, and felt something was wrong in his heart. Who did these people kill to raise sheep for us? The master of the banner said that from now on everyone will be a master. Now that something finally happened, Sakda felt proud that it was just as expected. certainly. On the surface, I still want to cry because Prince Kang is dead.
But what Sakda didn't expect was that this huge thing would eventually affect him, a lowly citizen.
Prince Kang died on the front line and sacrificed his life for the country. The "orphans and widows" he left behind cannot be treated badly - countless princes in the Qing Dynasty are eyeing Shunzhi! Today, the Manchu Qing Dynasty still adopts the model of "eight kings discussing politics", and the rights of the princes of the Eight Banners are only slightly less than that of the emperor. It is not impossible for someone else to become the emperor. In the beginning, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a bipolar model like the House of Monarchs and Nobles. It was only after Kangxi had been emperor for forty or fifty years, stabilized the country, and all the older generations were dead, that they took great pains to kill this system.
In fact, in this matter, it is secondary for the Eight Kings to take care of Prince Kang's funeral. It is their main purpose to test whether Shunzhi still abides by his promise of "I and the Eight Banners will rule the world together"! Even if Shunzhi wanted to fall out, he couldn't do it when the country was only half conquered. So he had no choice but to hold his hands and circle around a large area outside Beijing!
There are mountains, water, fields and lakes, which are circled according to the area of the grassland outside the pass, and are reserved for Prince Kang and his family to "support their family"!
When the Eight Kings saw how wide the ground was on the map, they were immediately satisfied. The city of Beijing is so big, and the barren mountains and ridges in Yanjiao are not interesting, but the area within the Fourth Ring Road is good.
We won’t mention the bad things about the Eight Kings discussing politics. There were hundreds of "orphans and widowed mothers" left behind by Prince Kang. If they were scattered in such a large ground, you wouldn't even be able to see a single person. It's so big! This does not include the mansions and gardens in the city. This won't work. Therefore, I, Xiaozhuang, waved my hand, and all the veterans with red flags retired and became Prince Kang's domestic slaves. Thousands of people were there, and this was enough to support the scene and finally "make it possible to live."
And Sakda could finally put down the stick... Oh no, he was disarmed and returned to the fields, picked up the whip again and became a herdsman for the flag owner's family...
*****
As an old man who entered the customs from the dragon, his qualifications are there. An old man who knows his roots well can rest assured that the flag owner's family can use it, so Sakda manages a large pasture. Life is indeed getting better. There is no end to the abundance of fish and meat, and people are getting fatter as if they were blowing up a balloon. He simply asked someone to pick up his wife and children who were left outside the customs, and went to Beijing to enjoy their happiness together...
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed...
Now Sakda has become one of the most important stewards in Prince Kang's palace. Although he looks like a family and a family, when he comes in and out, every time he sees him, he has to be called "Sa Ye"! Especially those Han officials who went to various princes to gain connections. Everyone looks like a dog in front of others, but secretly they want to lick Sakda's ass. One of the more shameless ones even made a distinguished family tree for Sakda, and became related to Saduca for thousands of years... although Sakda was not named Sa at all.
"Master, what's going on?" It was snowing heavily on this day, and Sakda's face was ashen when he returned to the village from the city. Sitting on the patio in a daze with deep thoughts. His concubine in the nineteenth room, who was warming up, came over and asked. As a result, Sakda glanced at her and said coldly, "Get out!" without batting an eye.
So for the whole day, everyone walked around the patio, and no one dared to touch Sakda's bad luck. Legend has it that Sakda followed the late emperor into the customs. He is a character who was killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood! Although he looked friendly, he was actually a very vicious person back then. Now that the edge has faded, five people are still killed and buried in the backyard every year...
But what no one knew was that after everyone walked away, Sakda suddenly said, "He killed someone again." The tone was a little sad...I went to Beijing today to do business. I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the city gate, I saw Qing soldiers in the street arresting people and shaving their heads. If they didn't obey, they would cut off their heads! Walking in from Chaoyang Gate, there were spilled blood and headless corpses everywhere. There are also the cries and howls of those Han people.
Those Qing soldiers still maintained the habit they had when they entered the pass. They cut off their heads and tied them around their waists. Everyone seemed to have several big gourds hanging...
Sakda is afraid! He had seen that scene before, and what happened next? Others have forgotten what happened more than ten years ago, but he has not! The Han people were protected by King Wu Dao, just in case the god of murder was provoked again because of the pigtails... He looked at the huge manor with only endless regret in his eyes. "Those who work for food don't even try to persuade the emperor. There are traitors in the court!"
…
Three days later, Lu Wu, the most loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, roared at the palace gate and cursed the Holy One. Died by suicide. Kang Mazi issued an order to confiscate his family and kill three clans! Sakda closed the door and got drunk! In his opinion, Lord Lu Wu is the smartest person in the Qing Dynasty! Even he said he couldn't do it, but all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were fools.
Twelve days later, the fast horse arrived in the capital after a journey of 800 miles. King Wu Dao appears as a saint! Kaifeng Prefecture massacres the city! Pingyang Massacre! Taiyuan massacre... the trajectory was like a sharp sword, pointing straight towards Beijing! Regarding this sudden miraculous incident, the civil and military officials in the court were immediately panicked, and most people were doubtful. After all, isn’t it true that King Wu Dao always appears in Jiangnan?
But the defeated troops from Taiyuan and other cities who followed the fast horses told them an ironclad fact - King Wu Daotian had really crossed the river! And this time he was really angry!
It was not the Han people who were massacred this time. Those who died one by one were all Manchus, and those Han officials and soldiers who followed the Manchus to help the tyrants! Everyone is punished by the canonical punishment, to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts! Even the head will be chopped off after death! Upon hearing the news, the capital was in chaos and turmoil. But Sakda had his armor found and wiped, and he also prepared his war horse and...his wooden stick.
Sure enough, a few days later, Kangxi issued an order to recruit soldiers and horses from all over the world to come to Beijing to serve the king!
And Sakda received a message from the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, saying that the thing she asked for back then should be today! Sakda reluctantly stuffed his body fat into the armor and sighed. More than ten years too late, he is still going to die... When he was discharged and returned to his fields, groups of old people toasted Queen Xiaozhuang. At that time, Xiaozhuang said that one day, he would ask all the old brothers to do something... It was indeed a life-threatening matter. ! This royal wine really doesn’t taste good.
The reason why Sakda had to put on his armor again and join the army was because the world was talking about it, saying that King Wu Dao didn't care about the affairs of the world at first. It made no difference to him whether the Manchus or the Han people ruled the world. In the past, when they showed off their power, it was because they were displeased with seeing the army massacre the city. Didn't you see that it has gradually subsided over the years? But the Holy Emperor issued another "hair-shaving order" to provoke King Wu Dao! This time, he was so angry that he even stayed away from the tomb and crossed the river to the north, vowing not to stop until he killed all the villains...
As a result, the army was unstable, and some people even secretly conspired to sacrifice Kang Mazi to heaven to appease King Wu Daotian.
Xiaozhuang has always supported Kang Mazi.
So she played the last trump card in her hand and reunited the veterans who were scattered in various palaces in the past! Even though the number is only 10,000, these people only need to disperse into the army. With this bunch of old killers in check, the army can't be in chaos! If the army cannot be in chaos, the world will still be Aixinjueluo! As for King Wu Dao... he's just a dead man. If he didn't accomplish anything when he was alive, he can't accomplish anything after he dies.
How could one ghost stand up to an army of millions? ! This is how Xiaozhuang calculated, so she felt that her move was accurate and ruthless! Apparently Kang Mazi, who was kneeling in front of her asking for help, thought the same thing and laughed so hard that his teeth came out...
