The frontier soldier who wanted to kill the Mongolian prisoners was only a young man. He was a little thin and his appearance was ordinary. But his expression was full of hatred and fanaticism, and his eyes were filled with blood. Before anyone could react, he had already rushed over.
In front of the fence, the dagger in his hand stabbed the Mongolian prisoners fiercely.
The fence area is very small, only about thirty square meters, but it is densely packed with more than eighty prisoners. Except for the place to stay, the prisoners have no room to dodge.
Under the frantic stabbing of this border soldier, all the Mongolian prisoners screamed in fear. Soon, three people were stabbed with daggers, and the first person who bore the brunt was stabbed in the chest continuously and was seriously injured.
The border soldier waved his dagger wildly while shouting crazily: "Kill you bastards of Tatars, kill you damned beasts, I want to avenge the girl, I want to avenge the girl!...
"
There are also several forbidden troops guarding the fence near the fence, not only to prevent the Mongolian prisoners from escaping, but also to prevent the border troops from harming the prisoners wantonly. These Mongolian prisoners are Zhao Junchen's precious propaganda resources. Zhao Junchen does not want to drain them of their use value.
They've been hurt too much.
But at this time, perhaps because there have been no accidents these days, most of the imperial guards guarding the fence were a little lazy. Seeing the crazy behavior of this frontier soldier, they were all shocked. They had not seen this for a long time.
After reacting, he never took action to stop it.
What's even more frightening is that with the crazy performance of this frontier soldier, most of the onlookers' soldiers gradually showed expressions of hatred and fanaticism, and they were all ready to join in at any time.
If it is not stopped, a riot may be inevitable. By that time, not only will no one of the more than 80 Mongolian prisoners survive, but the situation in the entire Huamachi camp will also become unstable. How Zhao Junchen handles this matter
Sometimes, I'm afraid I'm going to have a headache for a while.
Among the hundreds of people outside the Governor's Mansion, only a few could remain calm and calm, and He Zhang was one of them.
After seeing this scene, He Zhang immediately considered the hidden danger and hurriedly ordered the private soldiers around him: "Stop that border soldier, don't let him..."
However, before He Zhang could finish speaking, he saw Liu Manniu quickly walking up to the border soldier and kicking him hard.
Liu Manniu had a strong body and extremely strong legs. He didn't have any strength left at this time and kicked the frontier soldier away with one kick.
The frontier soldier flew a distance of more than ten feet, and after landing heavily, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
Liu Manniu's heavy kick immediately calmed down the border soldiers who were about to make a move, and the scene immediately became quiet.
Liu Manniu glanced around at the people around him, and finally his eyes fell on the border soldier who was vomiting blood, and said coldly: "I don't care what hatred you have with the Mongolian Tatars, but military regulations cannot be violated! What's more, killing these idiots
What kind of hero is a Mongolian prisoner who has no power to fight back? Killing a few prisoners is considered revenge? If you want revenge, go to the battlefield and kill the enemy! If you dare to fight hard on the battlefield, you are still a man. Now you are
It’s just relying on the enemy’s inability to resist, it’s just a cowardly act! Get out!”
After hearing Liu Manniu's reprimand, the border soldier finally regained his composure, his expression changing, but it was not clear whether he agreed with Liu Manniu's statement.
In the end, the frontier soldier spit blood in the direction of the Mongolian prisoner, quickly stood up and staggered away without saying a word, but looking at the hatred and determination on his face, you knew that this man was already
I made up my mind to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy.
After the frontier soldier left, Liu Manniu looked around at the surrounding soldiers again and said again: "And you, if you really hate the Mongols, you will have many opportunities to take revenge on the battlefield in the future! Just kill the men on the battlefield.
Only cowards kill enemies to vent their hatred!"
As Liu Manniu finished speaking, the surroundings became quieter and quieter, especially those border soldiers who were just about to make a move. Now they lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Liu Manniu.
In the end, because of this incident, the border soldiers outside the Governor's Palace quickly left one after another.
At the same time, many people have secretly made some decisions in their hearts.
After the situation outside the Governor's Mansion became deserted, Li Pi walked up to Liu Manniu with a smile, shook his head and said: "Manniu, Manniu, let me tell you what you are good at... You are too much
The heart is kind and the hand is soft.”
Liu Manniu glanced at Li Pi, but remained silent.
Li Pi didn't care either, but he just added with a smile: "The kick you just kicked seemed very heavy, but it didn't hurt your muscles and bones. The border soldier who vomited blood was just a shock injury, and he recovered in a few days, but
After you reprimanded him, you neither asked for his name nor investigated his crime. Instead, you let him leave on the spot. It seemed that you were beating and scolding him, but in fact you were shielding him... This border soldier is here
You killed prisoners outside the Governor's Mansion to express your hatred, and they were all prisoners of the Imperial Envoy. Aren't you afraid that the Imperial Envoy will pursue you later?"
This time, Liu Manniu finally said: "Of course I will personally apologize to the Imperial Envoy!"
At this time, Zhang Cheng chatted a few words with the imperial guards guarding the fence, and after arranging for the treatment of the Mongolian prisoners, he also came to Liu Manniu and said: "Although that border soldier was a little reckless and impulsive, he was not
Bloodthirsty, at least he wants revenge. His crime this time is not light, and he cannot escape a heavy punishment. I guess Man Niu can't bear to have a good soldier ruined like this, right?"
After Liu Manniu was silent for a moment, he said again: "It is indeed a serious crime to kill prisoners outside the Governor's Mansion to express hatred. Even if the Imperial Envoy is extra merciful, dozens of military sticks will still be inevitable. With his small body, he might have to
Rather than letting him die at the hands of one of our own people, it would be better to let him die on the battlefield and maybe even get a few Mongolian Tatars to support him!"
Zhang Cheng shook his head and laughed, saying: "Ruffian, don't think Man Niu has not read a book, he knows the truth no less than us!... Let's go, the Governor's Mansion is right in front of us, the three of us will apologize to the Imperial Envoy together, if
If Man Niu pleads guilty alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to get anything right, but if the three of us plead guilty to the Imperial Envoy together, maybe the big issue can be reduced to a trivial one!"
When Li Pi saw Zhang Cheng trying to drag him into trouble, a trace of hesitation flashed across his expression, but he soon showed a sense of loyalty and nodded: "That's right. The three of us went to plead guilty together. The imperial envoy is now using us more."
, it will definitely not be difficult!”
At this moment, He Zhang also came to the three of them and said: "You three, I happen to have an audience with the imperial envoy Zhao. I have witnessed this with my own eyes. You might as well go with me! In front of the imperial envoy, I can also
Please give me a few words of mercy."
Seeing He Zhang's sudden interruption, Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi were all stunned and turned to look at He Zhang.
The three of them did not pay too much attention to He Zhang's garrison uniform. Although He Zhang's official position was two levels higher than the three of them, they were now the leaders of Zhao Junchen's soldiers. As the saying goes, "
"The seventh rank officer in front of the prime minister's door", they had Zhao Junchen as their backer, let alone the garrison officer, even ordinary generals were not taken seriously by them.
However, listening to He Zhang's words, it seemed that he had some dignity in front of Zhao Junchen, but it attracted the attention of the three people.
Zhang Cheng felt that He Zhang looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, his expression suddenly changed and he asked, "Is this Sir He Zhang He General?"
He Zhang nodded and said: "It's me! Summoned by the imperial envoy Zhao, I came to Huamachi Camp to serve. I happened to encounter the scene just now and saw that the three of them were rare heroes. I couldn't help but feel angry.
Although I have no intention of making friends, I am also willing to intercede for Liu Baihu in front of the imperial envoy Zhao!"
Upon hearing He Zhang's answer, Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi all changed their expressions, showing respect, and quickly saluted and said hello.
He Zhang has made outstanding military achievements in the army for more than 30 years. The soldiers on all three sides are well aware of his reputation, and he is also respected by many frontier soldiers. Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi are no exception, especially after hearing that He Zhang
Praising them as "heroes", these three people felt deeply honored and excited.
Then, after introducing each other, the four of them entered the Governor's Mansion together and asked to see Zhao Junchen together.
*
Five days have passed since Zhao Junchen took control of the situation in Huamachi Camp.
In the past five days, the armies of the Junggar Khanate and the Mongolian right wing have been moving continuously, and their invasions have become more frequent, plundering many people. Just the news received by the Governor-General's Office, four prefectures and eleven counties have been attacked, and seven people have been attacked.
Every village was invaded, and nearly 10,000 people suffered.
Zhao Junchen, who has always been determined to take the lead in fighting, has been holding back his troops these days and has no intention of taking the initiative to face the enemy.
For Zhao Junchen, the most important thing now is to integrate the forces of Shaanxi and Gansu into one place, completely control the border armies in various places, so that he can maximize the power of the northwest frontier army.
Only in this way will Zhao Junchen truly have the power to defeat the Mongols.
Before that, Zhao Junchen had to temporarily endure in the face of the aggressiveness of the Mongolian army.
From a certain perspective, Zhao Junchen has done a good job!
In the past five days, Zhao Junchen's various methods have not only completely boosted the morale of the frontier troops in Huamachi Camp, but just yesterday, Guyuan Military Town also sent an official document expressing their submission.
Elite private soldiers from the three military towns of Yulin, Ningxia, and Guyuan have also joined Zhao Junchen's command one after another. The Gansu military town is far away, but there is no surprise if you think about it. Zhao Junchen has more and more troops at his disposal.
After hearing the news that He Zhang, Liu Manniu and others had requested a meeting, Zhao Junchen was in his study reading battle reports sent from various places.
After receiving the news, Zhao Junchen did not have any surprises. The situation outside the Governor's Palace was naturally hidden from Zhao Junchen's eyes. He nodded and said: "Let them wait for me in the lobby. I will go see them right away."
