Jiayu Pass, one of the eight major passes of the Ming Dynasty, was a fortress in northern Xinjiang and an important barrier against the Yuan Dynasty.
A month ago, the Yuan Dynasty and the Eastern Qing Dynasty attacked the Ming Dynasty at the same time.
But unlike Shanhaiguan, which was quickly broken, the coach of Jiayuguan was named Li Chengliang. He had guarded northern Xinjiang for more than 30 years and had never made any mistakes. He had never allowed foreigners to enter the Ming Dynasty. He was the pillar of the Ming Dynasty.
The Great Yuan Dynasty's 50,000 cavalry and about 100,000 foreign allied forces came together and fought several battles with Li Chengliang, but they could not attack for a long time and were blocked outside Jiayu Pass.
At this time, the weather turned cold and Dayuan's troops suffered heavy casualties. Coupled with the shortage of food and grass, morale was low, and the idea of retreating was already born.
At this time, outside Jiayu Pass.
The snow-capped mountains lie across the northwest, and there is dusk everywhere. There are traces of battles everywhere, and the bare trees stand in the cold wind, making a whining sound.
Snow-white tents fell on this desolate land, and densely packed Mongolian soldiers could be seen among them. Bonfires were rising everywhere in the tents, bringing the slightest warmth to the camp.
This is where the Mongolian army is stationed.
In the king's tent with a battle flag with the word "king" erected in the center, a middle-aged Mongolian man wearing heavy armor, tall and bearded, sat on the throne with a gloomy face.
This person is clearly the Mongolian coach who attacked the Ming Dynasty, the King of Ruyang of the Yuan Dynasty, Chahan Temuer.
A year ago, a treasure from the Dabai Shang Kingdom was discovered in the northwest desert. Emperor Yuan ordered people to seize the treasure and handed the matter over to King Ruyang.
The daughter of King Ruyang, Minmintemuir, also known as Zhao Min, volunteered and wanted to lead people to the desert to seize the treasure.
The king of Ruyang had a daughter, and he loved this daughter the most. He couldn't resist Zhao Min's plea, so he softened his heart and agreed to let his daughter lead the troops alone.
Who knew that something would happen if he became soft-hearted.
Thousands of Mongolian elite cavalry were all buried in the desert. Even his daughter Minmintemuir and hundreds of Mongolian masters under her command also died in the hands of Naxi Changchang Gongyu Huatian.
This made King Ruyang crazy with grief. He wished he could immediately send his troops south to attack the Ming Dynasty and kill the eunuch who killed his daughter with a thousand knives.
But in the end he was stopped by Emperor Yuan.
At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was internally unstable and many tribes rebelled. He needed to lead troops to redress the rebellion, which was not suitable for attacking the Ming Dynasty.
Until this time, there was civil strife in the Ming Dynasty. Fang Yeyu, the "little magician" of the Mage Palace, invited Dayuan to attack the Ming Dynasty together. It happened that the chaos within the Ming Dynasty was also suppressed. Emperor Yuan agreed after thinking about it for a while.
So King Ruyang could no longer bear it, and immediately volunteered to fight, led his troops south to attack the Ming Dynasty, and prepared to break through the barrier in one fell swoop, invade the Shuntian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, and cut Yuhuatian, the man who killed his beloved daughter, into pieces for his beloved daughter. revenge.
Unexpectedly, hundreds of thousands of troops marched south and attacked for more than a month, but they were unable to capture a single Jiayu Pass.
This made King Ruyang extremely angry.
But besides being angry, he was also a little helpless.
Li Chengliang, the coach of Jiayu Pass, not only has extremely high martial arts skills, but also uses troops like a god. He is a true general.
Now that the army has suffered heavy casualties, its logistics are insufficient, and the weather is getting colder, it is no longer suitable to continue the attack.
Otherwise, if they cannot capture Jiayu Pass, they will not be able to go back once the mountain is blocked by heavy snow.
By then, even if the Ming army does not counterattack, they will starve to death in the desert.
Thinking of this, King Ruyang slammed the chair next to him with a bang and said with great anger:
"Damn Li Chengliang!"
In addition to King Ruyang, there were more than a dozen generals of the Yuan army and masters under the throne of Ruyang sitting on both sides of the tent. They were all shocked by King Ruyang.
Looking up at King Ruyang's gloomy face, everyone knew why King Ruyang was so angry.
But the situation at this moment is indeed not suitable for continuing the fight.
The commander of Jiayu Pass, Li Chengliang, was a handsome man. He used his troops like a god. He defended Jiayu Pass like a turtle shell. They couldn't attack it at all. After several battles, although both sides suffered casualties, because they were the attacking side, they could not attack the city. Therefore, their casualties were heavier. On the contrary, the Ming army relied on the advantages of the pass and had the Ming Dynasty as its back. There was no shortage of supplies, and the casualties were almost negligible.
In addition, they had to cross thousands of miles of desert and fight on a long front, and their logistics supplies could hardly keep up.
If they continue to fight, once the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, their supplies will be completely cut off, and tens of thousands of troops will starve to death!
Sitting on the first seat on the left is an extraordinary-looking young man in his twenties. This man's name is Kukutmul, whose name is Wang Baobao in the Central Plains. He is the only son of King Ruyang and the biological brother of Zhao Min.
Looking at his father's angry and unwilling expression, Wang Baobao suddenly stood up, with a cold expression on his face, cupped his hands and said: "Father, I ask for orders to serve as the commander-in-chief and lead the troops to charge through the pass. This time I will definitely capture Jiayu Pass and kill the famous general Li Chengliang!"
The deputy generals of the Yuan Army next to them were suddenly shocked and said quickly:
"My young prince, don't be impulsive!"
"Yes, young prince, we don't have enough troops now, and we are running out of food and grass. We must not take any more risks!"
"This Li Chengliang is a god with his troops. With our current military strength, even if we attack the city again, we will die in vain!"
"My lord, think twice!"
King Ruyang looked at his son and sighed secretly in his heart.
He knew that his daughter died and his son was just as grief-stricken and angry as he was.
But what these lieutenants said is right. With the current situation, if we attack the city again, we will undoubtedly die.
His daughter was already dead, how could he let his son die too?
Of course, the most important thing is that he has just received news from the palace that he has been unable to attack Jiayu Pass for a long time. Many people in the court are dissatisfied with him. Emperor Yuan, under pressure, has sent a decree to him to withdraw his troops.
He did not dare to disobey Emperor Yuan's orders.
King Ruyang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger and unwillingness in his heart, looked at Wang Baobao, and was about to speak.
But at this moment, a dull voice suddenly came from outside the tent:
"I do agree with the young prince to continue to attack the city."
Everyone was startled and looked back, only to see that the curtain was opened, and then a tall and thin Mongolian young man in white walked in.
This young man has twinkling eyes, a handsome face, and sharp edges. There are double hooks crisscrossed on his back. His erect and slender body has an indescribable laziness, but also a majestic air, which constitutes a strong attraction for the whole person. .
"Ying Fei? What are you doing here?"
Seeing this young man, King Ruyang's face darkened.
This person's name is Ying Fei, a Mongolian martial arts master who is highly regarded by Emperor Yuan. It is said that he is a good friend of Fang Yeyu, the "little magician" of the Magician Palace.
The reason why Emperor Yuan agreed to cooperate with Yingwai in the Mage Palace to attack the Ming Dynasty was because Ying Fei proposed to Emperor Yuan.
"The eagle flies to see the prince."
Ying Fei smiled slightly, saluted King Ruyang, and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to bring reinforcements to your Majesty and help him attack Jiayu Pass."
King Ruyang was defeated and felt unhappy. He snorted coldly and said:
"Reinforcements? In front of His Majesty, you kept bragging about how powerful the masters of the Magician's Palace were. But as far as I know, both the Magician's Palace and the Qinglong Society have been defeated at this moment, and all the masters sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty were captured. The few remaining scoundrels are wanted by the Ming court like lost dogs, where will you get reinforcements?"
Naturally, King Ruyang had already received the news about the failure of the actions of the Blue Dragon Society, the Magician Palace and other forces.
Ying Fei smiled faintly and said, "My lord, my reinforcements are not only from the Magician's Palace."
King Ruyang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't give me riddles, just say what you have to say."
Ying Fei smiled and without saying much, shouted outside the tent: "Mrs. Zhen, come in."
Everyone looked outside the tent.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps, and then a woman walked in slowly.
This woman was very pretty, with spring-like eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, and a graceful body. Unfortunately, her face was a little pale and a little pale, but she also had a kind of morbid beauty, which formed an unusual charm.
The woman stepped forward and bowed slightly to King Ruyang: "Little girl Zhen Sushan, please pay homage to the prince."
Zhen Sushan?
King Ruyang looked at the woman carefully and said, "Are you a Semu person?"
The Semu people were all non-Mongolian aliens who lived outside the territory with the Mongols and were under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. They were equivalent to a subordinate ethnic group of the Mongols.
Zhen Sushan's voice was soft and she nodded: "The little girl is from Huazizimou."
King Ruyang nodded slightly: "What is your purpose here?"
Zhen Sushan saluted and said: "The little girl is here with five thousand warriors from Huazizimo and some masters from Huazizimo. They are here to help the prince attack Jiayu Pass."
With that said, Zhen Sushan waved to the outside, and several figures wearing Huazizimou costumes slowly walked in from outside the tent. Each of them had an extremely terrifying aura.
Especially the two people at the front, they are majestic, powerful and unparalleled!
In an instant, everyone in the tent felt a heavy pressure, and their expressions changed slightly.
"My lord, be careful!"
A strong man wearing heavy armor below King Ruyang immediately stood in front of King Ruyang, holding two spears, and he also had a powerful aura that belonged to the Grand Master level.
Zhen Sushan looked at the strong man, smiled slightly, and said: "General 'Mountain Lion', don't worry, they are all strangers from my Huazizimou. They were invited by the little girl to help the prince break the city, and they will not harm the prince."
Hearing this, the two leading men stepped forward and bowed their hands to King Ruyang:
"Hua Zha'ao, I have met the prince!"
"I went down the mountain to check the mountains and saw the prince!"
King Ruyang naturally also saw that the two of them were martial arts experts. He frowned slightly, then looked at Zhen Sushan and said: "Li Chengliang is also protected by a great master, and he himself is also very strong in martial arts and is also a great master. Master, even if you bring these few people, it is impossible to break the city, and your five thousand warriors will not play much role on the battlefield."
The Grand Master is certainly very powerful, but in such a large-scale battle, one or two more Grand Masters will not make much difference.
At this time, Ying Fei smiled and stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have informed Your Majesty of the situation here. Your Majesty was under pressure and it was inconvenient to send troops for reinforcements, but he also secretly sent experts to help."
As soon as Ying Fei finished speaking, the tent was opened again, and figures with terrifying auras walked in from outside the tent.
Headed by three people in different clothes, their aura was as deep as the cold abyss, even more terrifying than those great masters brought by Zhen Sushan!
The three people stepped forward and bowed slightly to King Ruyang:
"Amitabha, the poor monk Hong Sun Dharma King, has met King Ruyang."
"I'm down here, Chimei, and I've met the prince."
"Liandan met the prince next year."
…
…
Shanhaiguan.
After a night of fierce fighting, the Qing army suffered heavy casualties and fled in defeat. Shanhaiguan once again returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, the army was distributed throughout the city and began to clean up the tragic battlefield in the city.
The captured Qing army generals and Qing army martial arts masters were also escorted in prison cars and paraded on the streets, preparing to be taken to the center of Guancheng to be beheaded in public.
There were still many civilians in Shanhaiguan. These people had become prisoners and playthings of the Qing army. Now that the Ming army had taken over Shanhaiguan again, they were rescued. When they heard that Yuhuatian was planning to kill these Qing generals and Qing masters Afterwards, the people rushed to the execution ground in the middle of the city gate, preparing to watch how the group of cabinets were killed.
Everyone's eyes were filled with unforgettable hatred.
Many of their families and relatives were killed by the Qing army, and their wives and daughters were turned into playthings of the Qing army. Their originally good families were torn apart by the Qing army.
For these executioners, they wanted to kill them with their own hands, eat their flesh and cook their bones!
But when these people came to the execution ground, they were suddenly shocked.
Because the center of the execution ground was crowded with Qing army generals. Even the Qing army commander Ao Bai and Wu Sangui, who betrayed the Ming Dynasty and led the Qing army into the pass, were taken to the execution ground and knelt at the front with disheveled hair.
But that wasn't what surprised them the most.
But those who were preparing for execution were not Ming army executioners, but ordinary Ming people.
Men, women, old and young.
The only thing they have in common is that they are all victims of persecution and family destruction by the Qing army.
At this time, this group of common people holding knives were standing next to the group of Qing generals who were about to be executed, staring at the group of Qing generals. If it weren't for the imperial guards blocking them in front, I'm afraid they would have swarmed over them immediately. Tear these man-eating beasts to pieces.
After the explanations from the people next to them, the people who followed immediately understood why such a situation occurred.
It turned out to be the official of the West Factory of the imperial court, who was planning to let them take revenge and kill these inhuman beasts with their own hands.
For a moment, everyone clapped their hands and applauded without any fear or fear. They just waited for the execution to begin. They would only be willing to watch these animals die with their own eyes.
Soon, the scorching sun was in the sky and noon arrived.
A group of figures wearing official uniforms and armor appeared behind the execution ground, led by Yu Huatian, Sun Chengzong, Yang Sichang and others.
Looking at the passionate scene below, Yu Huatian didn't say much, but just nodded towards Ma Jinliang on the execution ground.
Ma Jinliang understood and immediately waved to the Jin Yiwei who was blocking the front of the group of people. Many Jin Yiwei immediately retreated.
Immediately, the group of common people holding swords rushed forward like crazy, and slashed at the Qing army generals and Qing army masters with their swords.
Screams suddenly sounded.
At this moment, those who usually held high positions, including Obai, Blood Knife Patriarch, and Wu Sangui, were no different from ordinary Qing army generals. They were slashed on their bodies by this group of angry people, and soon they screamed in agony. .
Moreover, in order to vent their anger to the people, Yuhuatian distributed to them the kind of blunt knives that would never kill them with just one cut.
The shrill screams echoed in Shanhaiguan, which was horrifying.
But instead of being afraid, the people's faces were filled with the joy of getting revenge.
Some of the more daring ones even rushed directly to the execution ground and joined the execution team.
Without swords, they stepped on them with their feet, hit them with their fists, bit them with their teeth, and even grabbed them with both hands, constantly venting the hatred in their hearts.
Yu Huatian and others just watched quietly without giving any orders to stop them.
"Ah...kill me! Kill me!"
"Bold! I am the Grand Marshal of the Qing Dynasty. How dare you...ah..."
"It doesn't matter whether you are a marshal or not, beat them to death!"
"kill him!"
"Mom, I finally avenged you! Hahaha..."
…
More and more people joined the execution team, and screams came one after another.
At this moment, Obai and the others no longer had a single intact part of their bodies. Their martial arts had been abolished and their meridians had been interrupted. They could not even resist. They could only watch helplessly at this group of people who they usually regarded as ants and playthings. The people vented their anger on them.
The severe pain constantly stimulated their nerves. From the anger and fear at the beginning, everyone slowly began to despair and regret...
If they had known that they would end up like this, they would never attack the Ming Dynasty again, and they would never attack these unarmed people.
It's a pity that there is everything in the world, but there is no regret medicine.
Finally, half an hour later, the execution was over.
The common people finished venting their anger and were forcibly pulled down by the Jin Yiwei and Ming soldiers. They cried bitterly in the crowd, and some looked numb. Their families had been destroyed long ago, or it was just for revenge. Now that the great revenge had been avenged, they had lost their ability to live. motivation.
On the execution ground, those Qing army generals and Qing army masters were now reduced to a pile of rotten meat, and even their bones were trampled to pieces. Blood from various organs and excrement were mixed together, making the scene extremely bloody.
Looking at this scene, Yu Huatian was silent for a moment, walked forward slowly, then flashed, jumped up to a high platform, looked at the people below, and said:
"The fall of Shanhaiguan was a failure of the imperial court."
"Now, this group of jackals have been driven out, and you have all had your revenge, but this matter is far from over."
Hearing the sound, many people calmed down and turned their attention to Yuhuatian on the high platform, with complicated and confused expressions.
Facing their gazes, Yuhuatian said slowly:
"I know that many of you were killed by the Qing army. Now that your great revenge has been avenged, you have no motivation to live."
"But what I want to tell you is that your revenge has not been completely avenged, and all your enemies have not been killed yet."
"The Qing army attacked and caused such evil in our Ming Dynasty. Who is the real murderer?"
"It's the Qing Dynasty!"
"It's those alien Tatars!"
"They were the ones who gave the order to invade my Ming Dynasty and harm the people of my Ming Dynasty!"
"So, if we don't overthrow the Qing Dynasty and drive out these wolves, our border with the Ming Dynasty will never have peace. In the future, more people will be massacred and humiliated by these wolves!"
Yuhuatian's voice became louder and louder. He looked at the countless civilians and soldiers and said coldly:
"Many of you may not know who I am."
"I am the Duke of the West Factory of the Imperial Court, and the mentor of His Highness the Crown Prince, Yuhuatian!"
“Today, in front of you all, I hereby swear an oath:
Destroy the Qing Dynasty in five years, destroy the Yuan Dynasty in ten years, unify China in thirty years, and unite the world!
I want to make Ming Dynasty the true overlord of China, kill all the alien wolves, make the world truly unified, and let the Chinese people no longer be bullied by aliens! "
The cold and domineering voice echoed throughout Shanhaiguan.
At this moment, Yuhuatian's domineering power was fully displayed, and he had the aura of dominating the world. It was shocking and inexplicably convincing.
"Lord Governor, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
"Lord Governor, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
"Lord Governor, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
The next moment, after whoever shouted first, countless Jin Yiwei, Ming soldiers, and all the common people knelt down and started shouting.
The eyes of the people who had originally had the will to live or die were filled with life again, and then turned into blazing flames.
They want to live until they see the pack of jackals driven out of the Central Plains, the murderers slaughtered, the unification of China, and the Chinese people no longer being humiliated!
At this moment, Yu Huatian's words gave them hope of living.
…
After the execution, Yuhuatian led everyone back to the city lord's mansion.
In the city lord's mansion.
After some cleaning, Yu Huatian sat on the main seat. Below him were Sun Chengzong, Yang Sichang, Ma Jinliang, Ding Xiu and other senior executives of the West Factory.
"Master Yu, although the Qing army has temporarily retreated, the Yuan army has not retreated at Jiayu Pass. There is no guarantee that the Qing army will not come back. You see..."
Sun Chengzong looked at Yuhuatian with some hesitation.
Yuhuatian understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Old General Sun, I will be in charge of Shanhaiguan for a while."
"Furthermore, since I have said that I will unify China and make Ming Dynasty the true overlord of China, how can I break my promise?"
"The road to unifying China begins with the Qing Dynasty!"
Yuhuatian turned his head and looked to the northeast, a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Sun Chengzong did not expect that Yu Huatian actually planned to take action against the Qing Dynasty, and was immediately a little shocked: "Master Yu, are we discussing this matter..."
"Nothing to discuss!"
Yuhuatian said coldly: "A mere lackey of the Tatar Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty dares to enslave the people of the Central Plains and massacre the people of my Ming Dynasty. I will show him what will happen if he provokes my Ming Dynasty!"
Sun Chengzong frowned, a little worried.
Taking action against the Qing Dynasty is equivalent to starting a national war. Fighting a national war is not that simple.
Ma Jinliang and others said nothing because they knew that no one could change what the governor decided.
Yuhuatian looked at Sun Chengzong and was about to speak.
But at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the house.
"Report~!"
A Jin Yiwei hurriedly ran in with an anxious look on his face and said:
"Reporting to the Governor, there is news from the north. Jiayu Pass has been lost, Northern Xinjiang has fallen, and General Li Chengliang is seriously injured and has retreated to Jibei City!"
