Text 401 [Broken Haizhou]

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jin Guozhen's ancestors were nobles in Korea. After the founding of Joseon, the power of his family declined rapidly.

    Today, the master is still a landlord, but he is reduced to a tenant.

    Even as a tenant, Jin Guozhen is more noble than ordinary tenants.  Because he has a surname, it proves that his ancestors were rich, and the real North Korean civilians don't even have a surname.

    The invasion of Japan and the Qing Dynasty led to the collapse of North Korea's social order.  A large number of civilians took the opportunity to occupy unowned land, and by the way stole the surname of the original landowner.

    You heard that right, steal the last name!

    With a surname, you are eligible to own land in North Korea.

    Jin Guozhen did not get any benefits, but was kidnapped by Man Qing.  Along with four other Han Chinese and one Korean, they were assigned to the Manchus as serfs¡ªthey didn¡¯t even have coats.

    After spring, continue to melt.

    This year's climate is good, the snow melted early, and it was cold last year.

    During the Little Ice Age at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although there was no drought in Liaodong, the snowstorm was very serious.  Even Haizhou cannot grow winter wheat, and can only sow it after the snow melts in spring.

    "Hurry up, hurry up, you'll eat the whip if you delay!"

    Early in the morning, Baoyi, the Han man, knocked on the door with a whip, and Jin Guozhen jumped up from the bed reflexively.

    When they got dressed and waited to go to work, the master's family was eating.

    This is a family of low-level Manchurian Eight Banners officers. The old master died in battle long ago, leaving behind three sons, and the daughter married to another officer.  Now the eldest son and the second son have all moved to Guannei, leaving only the third son to stay in Haizhou.

    The remaining Manchus only need to have two tasks: one is to continue to grow land and produce food; the other is to have more children and provide soldiers for the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

    The masters eat dry for breakfast, after all the master has to practice martial arts.

    This is a tradition that has been formed in recent decades. Eat more, grow stronger, and practice martial arts well to join the army.  Then go out to battle with the army, burn, kill and loot, and distribute the spoils according to military merits. The spoils include livestock, food and people.

    The masters are full, and the leftovers are eaten by the Han people.

    As for the serfs, just eat some grains and bran porridge.  Try not to starve to death without starving to death, they are similar to animals, which owner is willing to starve to death of animals?

    Of course, if there is not enough food, real livestock must be given priority. The status of serfs is far inferior to that of cattle.

    In the middle of the morning, Bao Yi took a few serfs to work in the field.

    The master was wearing a set of old cotton armor, and took a few young masters to practice archery near the farmland.

    Jin Guozhen squatted in the farmland without any tools, so he could only pull out the weeds with his bare hands.

    When all the grass is pulled out, the field will be plowed with cattle.

    It is Mr. Coating's prerogative to use cattle.  The serfs had to wait until the land had been plowed before they could pick up the hoes and dig the pits for sowing.

    Jin Guozhen didn't dare to speak, for fear of being whipped by the coat.

    A few feet away from him is Liu Dazhang, a Han Chinese serf.  He was also taken captive, and his hometown is in Beizhili. I heard that there were more than 30 acres of land, and he lived a pretty good life as a child. The family even supported a child.

    After squatting for a long time, her waist was sore and her legs hurt, Jin Guozhen looked back subconsciously.

    Jin Guozhen was very envious of Mr. Baoyi sitting on the edge of the field to rest.  It would be nice to be able to do the coating by myself. Although I have to work, I won't be punished by my master if I'm lazy occasionally.

    "Da da da da!"

    There was a sound of horseshoes, and Jin Guozhen didn't bother to look at it. It must be the Manchurian cavalry from somewhere.

    The master, who was practicing arrows nearby, had a terrified expression, and fled towards Haizhou City with a few young masters.  The situation is urgent, and even the mistress of the family can't take care of it.

    Han Ren Baoyi also reacted, threw down his whip and chased after his master.

    Jin Guozhen finally realized that something was wrong. It seems that this is not a Manchurian cavalry?

    Liu Dazhang, a Han serf, stood up slowly. He couldn't believe it at first, then burst into tears, and shouted: "The Great Tomorrow Soldier is here, the Great Tomorrow Soldier is here!"

    There were only one hundred Datong cavalry in this group, ninety of them went to chase and kill them, and the remaining ten came galloping on horseback.

    The cavalry captain said: "Where is your master's home? Follow me to fight back and grab food, and I will take you away. I will share the fields with you, and you will plant your own land in the future, and you will no longer be slaves to others!"

    "Long live the soldiers of tomorrow!" Liu Dazhang fell to his knees.

    The cavalry captain did not correct him, but only said: "Lead the way quickly!"

    The ninety cavalry who chased out quickly caught up with the Manchu master and the Han Chinese.

    "Master Jun, spare me, I'm Han!" Bao Yi fell to his knees.

    Hear this, the whole army will definitely be wiped out by then.

    Gaizhou is different. It can be defended according to the city, and if there is not enough food, it will be shipped by sea.

    Moreover, troops can also be sent from Gaizhou to attack Ningyuan, Jinzhou and other cities, and block the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in Shanhaiguan.

    2300 Datong cavalry, divided into 23 centurions, poured out to plunder the countryside.

    ? Cut off the thumbs of Manchurian men, rob Manchurian women, take away garments, serfs, livestock and grain.  The food that can't be taken away is piled up and guarded, waiting for the infantry of the Datong Army to come and receive it!

    Haizhou and Liaoyang each have 150 defenders.

    The cavalry of Datong swaggered past the city with their population and trophies, and the defenders in the city did not dare to come out.  They didn't even know where the enemy came from?

    Or, who is the enemy?

    ?As for Shenyang, there are a total of 800 Eight Banners troops stationed there, which is indeed very strong.

    The distance between Gaizhou and Haizhou is 120 miles. Hu Dinggui couldn't wait for more civilians, so he only asked the people of Gaizhou City to help transport food, and set off directly with half a month's army food.

    On the way, he received a large number of serfs sent by cavalry to be peasant husbands, and surrounded Haizhou City mightily.

    The Manchu Qing officials in Haizhou have organized the people to guard the city.

    ?The guarding force consisted of 50 Manchu Eight Banners, 100 Han Army Eight Banners, more than 1,000 Manchurian civilians, more than 3,000 Han civilians, and more than 2,000 Han Chinese.  Among them, one-third of the Manchurian civilians had their thumbs cut off.

    The city wall of Haizhou is eight meters high, which can be called majestic.

    Hu Dinggui didn't even bring enough food, let alone artillery and siege equipment.

    The mission officers in the army dispatched all the staff, and brought many local serfs with them, and ran outside the city to shout and persuade them to surrender: "The Han brothers in the city, Huang Taiji was poisoned to death by Dorgon. Dorgon occupied the queen mother, and he followed the queen mother long ago.  Fornication, the puppet Qing emperor is also a bastard of Dorgon. Haoge led troops to fight with Dorgon, and my Han emperor has sent troops to surround Beijing. The Manchu Qing is about to disappear, and the Han brothers quickly surrender anyway. Do it for the Tartars  The Han people in the coats, as well as the Eight Banners of the Han army in the city, as long as they help kill the Tartars, they will be able to divide the fields without discrimination. Let¡¯s kill the Tartars together!"

    Not only yelling in Chinese, but also the coating that can speak Manchu, and also yelling in Manchu.

    The Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of the Han Army were in a state of panic. The snow had just started to melt in the spring, and they didn't know the news in the pass at all.

    Otherwise, how could the Han army reach Haizhou?

    This is not a sneak attack by a small group of troops. A large number of cavalry appeared two days ago, and now there are thousands of elite infantry.  So many enemy troops must have been killed from Shanhaiguan, and the speed of dispatching troops was so fast that it was impossible for the friendly troops on the front line to report.

    The Manchu court must be gone!

    As for Huang Taiji's cause of death, there are indeed many theories.  Some said it was Hauge who killed him, others said it was Dorgon who killed him. Anyway, Huang Taiji died in a daze within two months of entering the customs.

    Of course, this kind of thing happened in previous years.

    The Manchus entered the customs and plundered all the way to Shandong.  After a series of victories, the titan Yue Tuo contracted smallpox and died

    After some shouting, thousands of Han people guarding the city were ready to move.

    The main one is the Ming army, which has not been to Haizhou for 20 years.  This is the absolute rear area, surrounded and attacked for no reason, the situation is really weird.  Not to mention the Han people, even the Eight Banners of Manchuria, who guard the city, somewhat believe that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is really about to perish.

    "Kill the Tartars!"

    The first to do it was the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

    Moreover, they did not dare to attack the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and directly killed the civilians defending the city in Manchuria.

    Han Baoyi and Han civilians followed suit.

    The Han emperor has already sent troops to kill him. If he does not surrender at this time, will he be liquidated in the future?

    More nonsense happened. The Eight Banners of the Han Army only dared to kill Manchurian civilians. The long-term fear made them farther and farther away from the Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers.

    And those 50 Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers killed thousands of Han Chinese guarding the city and fled in embarrassment.

    The city was in a mess, and finally two city gates came in one after another.

    "General help!"

    A general of the Han army ran out with the remnant soldiers, crying and yelling at Hu Dinggui to save him.

    Hu Dinggui said contemptuously: "What a bunch of useless people, I finally know how Liaodong was lost!"

    50 Manchurian Eight Banners, with more than 1,000 Manchurian civilians, even killed 100 Han Eight Banners and more than 5,000 Han defenders.

    Although the Eight Banners of the Han Army had more people, they did not dare to fight at all. They fled when they saw the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties coming.

    "Raise the gun!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    After a platoon of guns, the melee soldiers rushed into the city gate, and the Datong firecrackers also charged in with bayonets.

    The leader of the Han army walked around to Hu Dinggui and exclaimed: "The general's subordinates are all elites, no wonder they can kill all the way from Shanhaiguan!"

    Hu Dinggui said: "What are you still doing, killing Tartars?"

    The leader of the Han army hurriedly drew his sword: "My sons, follow me to kill the Tartars!"

    With the Datong army clearing the way, these Eight Banners of the Han army who turned against each other suddenly became extremely brave.  After rushing into the city, he chased the Manchurian civilians and slashed at them. He really regarded himself as a national hero.
