Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao - Chapter 427

  Chapter 427 All kneel down and wear sheepskins!

Hearing what Jierhalang said, Gang Lin also nodded: “Back then, we were able to force Xiong Tingbi away and capture Liaoyang and Shenyang from Yuan Yingtai. Now, it seems that Uncle Zhang Guo used some method to suppress these officials.”

   Jierhalang couldn’t help but sighed, looked up to the sky and said, “It’s true that the sky is dying for me!”

boom!

  Suddenly, a gunshot appeared.

   Jierhalang was horrified.

  Suddenly, Jierhalang discovered that an elite unit of the Ming army had appeared at the foot of the mountain.

The elite team of the Ming army searching the mountain guessed that there were Jiannu people here because they found trembling branches and snow falling through the binoculars, so they gathered multiple Ming army teams and gathered here, preparing to capture the people here. Build slaves.

   As a result, these Ming soldiers naturally would not have thought that this place was actually the main force of slave building.

  For a while, Ji Erhalang hurriedly ordered: “Quickly evacuate!”

   “Kneel down and don’t kill! Surrender and don’t die!”

  But at this time, the shouts of the Ming army holding brass horns came.

  Gang Lin was deeply sinicized, so he knelt down decisively and didn’t want to run anymore.

  Because he is really tired and has a lot of chilblains on his body, if he hides in the deep mountains, he will freeze to death even if he does not starve to death.

   Not only Gang Lin, but also other Eight Banners nobles knelt down.

   Jierhalang was astonished seeing this.

He suddenly realized that the nobles of the Eight Banners had also fallen. After a large number of nobles of the Eight Banners who were able to fight and dared to fight were killed in several battles, the remaining nobles of the Eight Banners were either the Sinicized nobles who had converted to Confucianism, or the new generation of nobles. The young aristocrats who are used to rich clothes and fine food have already lost their blood under the influence of the Han Chinese.

  It is not easy to persevere until now. At this time, in the absence of any hope, and the Ming army said that they would kneel down and not kill, surrender and not die, they all knelt down.

“Why!”

   Jierharang hit the tree again with his fist, and then also knelt down.

  Of course, there are also a small number of Eight Banners who are unwilling to surrender, but quietly escaped into the dense forest.

Fan Wencheng and Li Sutai looked at each other, and then sneaked into the dense forest. They didn’t want to be captured by the Ming army, not because they didn’t want to surrender, but because they didn’t want to be captured by the Ming army and then be made Kneeling statue.

  Of course, those who sneaked into the dense forest were a small number, and most of the slave nobles were captured by the Ming army.

   “Kneel down!”

When Jierhalang and the others were escorted in front of Zhang Gui and Zhou Yuji, following the yelling from the guards, Jierhalang and the Eight Banners nobles knelt down in front of Zhang Gui and Zhou Yuji. room!

  Before they were escorted, Jierhalang and others had their shirts removed and their upper body was bare.

  Therefore, Jierhalang and other Eight Banners nobles trembled when they appeared in front of Zhang Gui and Zhou Yuji.

   It’s not that the Ming army now cares less about the clothes of these Eight Banners nobles, but that it has become a rule that the captured enemy rulers have to wear sheepskin naked when they see the imperial envoy and the emperor.

   “Phi!”

  With an order, dozens of sheepskins prepared in advance were put on the backs of Jierhalang and other Eight Banners nobles, and now they are kneeling again, it really looks like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

   Jierhalang and other Eight Banners nobles did not dare to say anything at this time. After all, as captives, they have no human rights in this era.

  Therefore, all the officials and generals in the account laughed triumphantly when these Eight Banners nobles put on sheepskins.

   This is allowed in the army. When the prisoners are escorted, they can laugh loudly to boost morale.

  The Eight Banners nobles such as Jierhalang and Ganglin naturally blushed because of this, full of unwillingness and anger.

Zhang Gui, who had been sullen all the time, lifted up the jade belt outside the python robe and stood up after all the officials laughed. He walked up to Jierhalang and other nobles of the Eight Banners, and said, “Jierhalang, if you surrender early, Why suffer the crime of frostbiting yourself.”

Jierhalang only said: “If you, Uncle Zhang Guo, hadn’t received too much favor from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and could treat civil servants as nothing, my Qing Dynasty would not have fallen into such a situation! Now that I have become your captive, I am convinced that is!”

   “It’s not His Majesty who favors the Grand Master, but the Son of Heaven, Shengming! You shouldn’t despise me, Son of Heaven!”

   Zhang Gui said.

   “How dare you underestimate it! It’s just not what Confucian officials like.”

   Jierhalang replied, and asked, “Uncle Guo really won’t kill us? If he doesn’t, how will he deal with us?”

  Zhang Guidao: “Go to the vast sea to mine! Until you die of exhaustion, disease or old age!”

After hearing this, Jierhalang suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhang Gui, his lips trembled, and then suddenly lowered his head and begged, “I implore the uncle of the country, please don’t let me wait to dig mines, we are willing to be the king of the country.” Uncle’s slave for all eternity!”

  In Jierhalang’s view, mining is really worse than coating, the key is that it is harder than coating.

  Even in his Qing Dynasty, miners were always lowly slaves who committed crimes in coats, and were already regarded as pigs, dogs and animals.

   Therefore, Zhang Gui’s treatment of them made it difficult for Jierhalang to accept.

   “No permission please!”

   Zhang Gui said after finishing speaking: “Put it on, and transport it to the vast sea as soon as possible!”

   Jierharang and others were in despair.

  He now regrets that he and his father joined Nurhachi in raising troops. In his opinion, if Nurhachi could be prevented from raising troops at that time, he might still be the son of the commander of Jianzhou Guard.

  However, Ji Erhalang did not expect that one day Daming would undergo such a big change, from a dying and corrupt empire to a thriving new empire.

  Da Ming has deployed heavy troops in the Hanhai area.

  100,000 workers have built post roads along the way under the protection of the army, and barbed wire has been encircled in the mining area known as the Taban Tolgoi Coal Mine in later generations.

A battalion of regular Guards troops stationed here, plus 2,000 Han Chinese miners recruited here and 3,000 Mongolian herdsmen recruited nearby, totaling tens of thousands of people, have built living areas, mining areas, and warehouses here. and coal rails.

  After Zhu Yujian was exiled here, he found that the place was not bleak and full of people, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised for a moment, thinking that he would not have to worry about loneliness when he came here.

At that time, Zhu Yujian couldn’t help but look at the Mongolian rangers standing outside the guard soldiers in the distance. When he saw that one of the Mongolian rangers was actually a Mongolian woman wearing a red arrow sleeve dress, he even rode over directly. , Across the barbed wire fence and the private line, shouted: “Why do you wait and see! Do you dare to rob me of these strong men of Ming Dynasty and force us to be Li Ling when we are Han?”

  The Mongolian woman seemed to understand Zhu Yujian’s words, and as soon as she blushed, she took the arrow from her bow and aimed at Zhu Yujian.

  Zhu Yujian was still smiling, and did not draw his gun. Instead, when the Mongolian woman shot a light arrow, he bent down and hid, shouting:

“You don’t need to waste your arrows. Meng Yuan was doomed to no longer be my opponent when my great ancestor Emperor Gao returned to the northern border! If you want to win my Ming’s favor, you should use horseback riding to get it.” , it is better to get it by singing and dancing!”

Not long after Zhu Yujian said, Xia Yunyi, who was transferred to be the governor of Hanhai, rode over and said, “These Mongols are quite dissatisfied with our army’s sudden appearance in their grassland and stationed here. Gather a large army to attack. At that time, the church will organize troops to fight back, and you are responsible for contacting the Mongolian herdsmen recruited to mine, and let them help you contact the tribal leaders here, and try to let them join! At that time, once you let them Submit, even if you make meritorious service, Uncle Guo will restore your clan status to you.”

“good!”

  Zhu Yujian responded, then turned his horse’s head and left.
