Chapter 17 Firm Faith - Sprinkle Blood on the Battlefield to Drive the Tartars
It turned out that the hungry people were extremely hungry. When they saw Zhang Biwu's war horse, Wanhu Hou, they wanted to eat. So, some strong hungry people came forward and said, "Slay his war horse! We all have something to eat!" He shouted: "Yes! Slaughter the horse! You have to eat!"
Zhang Biwu was anxious. He hurriedly drove away the hungry people. If someone wanted to kill his horse in the past, he would have killed them all. But these were all hungry people, all the people he wanted to protect as a soldier! His dereliction of duty and inability to defend the people in the country and let them suffer is the greatest shame in itself. How can he hurt them with a sword?
Zhang Biwu shouted: "Let go of my horse! I will go back to Lord Lu Jiantai to kill the Tartars!" The Marquis of Wanhu was obviously angry, and its four hooves rose up, making the hungry people dare not approach it.
The hungry people also understood that Wanhuhou was a fierce Hummer. If it were allowed to run, no one would catch up with him! If it weren't for his master, the horse would have run away without a trace.
When Zhang Biwu called out that he was a general of Lu Jiantai, some of the hungry people asked, "Is it the army of Lord Lu Xiangsheng?"
Zhang Biwu said loudly: "Yes! I am the army under Lord Lu Xiangsheng's tent!" The hungry people who asked the question shouted: "Brothers, we cannot kill this military horse! Lord Lu Xiangsheng's troops have only 10,000 people, but they are pursuing the Tartars and driving them out! They are like us, like us, picking up tree bark and digging grass roots to eat, but they have to face the fierce and cruel Tartars, but they are still fighting! Only Lu Xiangsheng's army is our army!"
The hungry people nodded. Although they could drool when they saw Zhang Biwu's war horses, they knew that Lu Xiangsheng's army was already short of food, but once they were seized in the battle with the Qing army, they would still give it to them, although not many.
The problem is that Lu Xiangsheng's army had to eat tree bark and grass roots for this, but they were still thinking about the people. It was such an army that was framed by powerful officials and officials, refused to pay wages, and made them hungry and use damaged weapons to fight against the Qing soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, waiting for their hard work and full food. It was really outrageous!
The hungry people in front of Zhang Biwu all made way and said, "June, go! You and your war horses are fighting for us! You protect us, we must put our hearts in favor and be lenient to you! You go! Kill more Tartars for us!"
Zhang Biwu's eyes were full of tears. He knew, he understood. He clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, I will drive the Tartars even if I sprinkle blood on the battlefield!"
Zhang Biwu jumped onto the Wanhuhou. "Go!" Zhang Biwu beat Wanhuhou and ran forward.
His heart was bleeding, "Why? My majestic China turned into this? How can we save these people! Promote the people to suffer, perish, and the people suffer even more! And how cute they are! In the abandoned town just now, if they attacked me, neither Wanhuhou nor Wanhuhou could escape! They were just because I am a member of Lu Xiangsheng's army! Alas!"
At this moment, bursts of crying came! It was very desolate! Iron Man also cried when he heard it. Zhang Biwu looked at the sound of a big pot set up. There was a woman who was crying and cooking a child's body.
"I'm sorry! Mom, I'm sorry for you! Daughter! Woo woo" The woman was crying, her body was shaking violently. Obviously she didn't want to do this, but she was helpless.
Her two children were lying beside the woman, each of whom shook her head, and seemed painful and sad. But when she looked in the pot, she drooled again, and she couldn't stand the torture of hunger. The two children seemed so hungry that they couldn't move.
Zhang Biwu roared: "What are you doing! Why do you do this!" Zhang Biwu came over, "You are the cruelest and most vicious mother in the world!"
The woman was also sadly roaring like a wounded beast: "Yes! I am the most vicious mother in the world! But what can I do! There is no food! My daughter is dead, die..."
She choked and cried loudly, very sad, "Even if it is buried, the body will be dug out and... And look, I have two children who are almost hungry! What can I do?"
After saying this, Zhang Biwu was speechless. He didn't know how to face it. Zhang Biwu didn't dare to look at the woman, especially the woman's eyes. When he saw it, Zhang Biwu felt sad and was about to break. Zhang Biwu gritted his teeth and asked, "Don't the government help you?"
The woman cried, "The government helps us ordinary people? Jun Ye, stop joking! If the government does not come to collect taxes, it will be a great favor to our people! You still have to ask them to provide relief food? It is impossible!"
Zhang Biwu used to read the history of the late Ming Dynasty and read that King Zhu Youjian of the Tang Dynasty wrote a letter to Chongzhen, reporting the famine in Nanyang, Henan, and even some mothers cooked their daughters to eat.
Now he witnessed it with his own eyes, and he felt something was choking in his heart, and a big stone in his heart blocked his heart.
The woman said again: "Do you know? Officers and soldiers are more than bandits! Yes! You are the military master! But I am not afraid to say it! Because I will either be starved to death or be killed by the Qing Tartars! Or I will be killed by the officers and soldiers who have committed great achievements! In the end, will we let the people live!"
The geological questioning left Zhang Biwu speechless. He didn't know what to do! He didn't want to listen! He didn't want to see it either! His heart felt extremely painful.
He is the Ming army! Is the Ming Dynasty he wants to protect is such a Ming Dynasty? No! The Ming Dynasty he imagined that he wanted to protect should be a Ming Dynasty that can make everyone happy and can be eliminated in such a tragic situation!
Although it has been more than two years since he arrived in the late Ming Dynasty, it is not the first time he has seen such a tragic situation, but every time he sees it, it can touch Zhang Biwu's heart and make Zhang Biwu extremely painful and uncomfortable.
Zhang Biwu bowed deeply and then gritted his teeth. He actually knelt down! Zhang Biwu knelt down to a peasant woman: "I'm sorry! I can't protect you! I'll go back to the army of Master Lu Zhitai! Even if there is no bark or grass roots to eat! Even if there is only one breath left, as long as my blood does not flow dry, I will fight to the end!"
"Lu Xiangsheng's army?" The woman looked at him with a light flashing in her eyes. Zhang Biwu nodded and said, "Yes!"
A voice sounded: "The Tartars are here! Everyone, run away!" Someone was running wildly! "Tartars!" Zhang Biwu's eyes were almost spitting out of fire!
He was going to do what a soldier should do, so he jumped onto the Wanhuhou. He looked at it and this was the Qing army's ranger. The Qing army's ranger appeared around to reconnaissance the military situation.
You can't let these two racists escape! The racist must have food! Maybe there is still money! In short, the two racist must not let go! Even if they have their food, they can save a hungry man, they are considered a hungry man! In addition, they are on the territory of the Ming Dynasty! This is absolutely not allowed!
"Drink!" Zhang Biwu shouted, and he faced the two cavalry. When the two Qing army cavalry saw Zhang Biwu's beautiful armor and were alone, according to experience, they guessed that Zhang Biwu might be a fleeing general, or it would be easy to deal with a defeated general who fled around.
The two rangers decided that they wanted to kill Zhang Biwu, and the two rangers rushed towards Zhang Biwu! This would be the biggest mistake in their lives!
"Swoosh" Zhang Biwu fired his gun very quickly! Because he fired his gun in anger! These two guns stabbed the two rangers to fall off the horse.
When the two racers died, they opened their big eyes. They couldn't believe that Zhang Biwu's gun was so fast that they couldn't see clearly how Zhang Biwu fired the gun. Zhang Biwu didn't want to let the two racers go, so he wanted to stab the two war horses to death so that the hungry people could have something to fill their hunger. Naturally, the two war horses were stabbed to death by Zhang Biwu.
Zhang Biwu jumped off the horse to check if the two racists were really dead. Zhang Biwu checked whether there was food or money on them. Even the two war horses had to check.
When the hungry people saw Zhang Biwu assassinating two cavalry, they watched from a distance, and no one dared to go forward, because they only had a short while of assassination of Zhang Biwu. Will they all go up? There are many people in the official army who even killed the civilians.
Zhang Biwu plundered all the food and money. He wanted to give all the food and money to the mother who cooked the girl with tears! Zhang Biwu knew that her heart was like a knife in her heart!
Zhang Biwu looked around again at the distance and looked at the hungry people who dared not approach him. He shouted: "Everyone! Okay! Everyone, there are two horses, you can eat horse meat!"
As soon as Zhang Biwu finished speaking, he jumped to tens of thousands of Houhouhou, and he beat the tens of thousands of Houhouhouhou and headed towards the woman. As soon as Zhang Biwu left, the hungry people quickly surrounded him. They used knives to cut the meat of war horses, and some wanted to set up a stove to cook. Of course, some of them knew to store it, such as dry horse meat.
As soon as he arrived at the woman, Zhang Biwu threw the package to the woman and said, "Then! There is food here! Don't..." He couldn't continue, "Gu!Gu!" His stomach rang, and Zhang Biwu didn't even eat, so he was naturally hungry.
Zhang Biwu smiled helplessly, then punched his fist and said, "Aunt! Take care! I will go back to the army to kill the Tartars!"
As soon as Zhang Biwu finished speaking, he suddenly pulled Wanhuhou Hou and asked Wanhuhou to go to the military camp! He wanted to return to the military camp!
The woman looked at his figure far away, and she picked up the package, heavy, with tears in her eyes. She thought of Zhang Biwu's stomach, and it was conceivable that Zhang Biwu was also hungry, but Zhang Biwu still gave all the food to her. "Mom! I want to eat!" When her children heard that there was food, they all gathered.
