A group of people headed towards Shuangliao. Shuangliao was a fiefdom given to Su Budi by Jiannu.
After Su Budi defected to Jiannu, he was granted the title of Jinong. The remaining Duoyan tribe he brought used Shuangliao as their pastureland. Jiannu usually treated the Mongolians who surrendered by marrying a princess.
Give them another piece of pasture land to win over.
But when Su Budi grew old, he did not marry the princess. He only kept the pasture land.
Shuangliao is adjacent to Horqin, west of Siping, and is already a pastoral area. Among these more than 7,000 captives, more than 2,000 were soldiers later recruited by the Zhenglan Banner. There are also more than 5,000 remaining Changbai Mountain Jurchens in Jilin City.
At this time, they had no weapons, their hands were tied with ropes, and they were strung together in a string. Driven by the horse whips of a thousand servants from two battalions, they walked for three days before they got here.
The entire Duoyan tribe followed Su Budi's invasion. There were only two thousand cavalry in the city, some of them old and weak. They watched nervously as this huge team passed through their territory and did not dare to come out.
Sahanen, Kulusa, and Sahemantai were not tied up, but their horses were tied in a row, like a chain of horses. So the three of them couldn't run away. It was impossible for the three horses to escape.
.
Once the horses are dismounted, they will just feed the wolves. This is grassland, not a farming area.
As the temporary captain this time, Guo Bing was responsible for leading the team. He rode side by side with the three of them.
"Master Guo, did Marquis Dingyuan really take us to see our old master? He didn't trick us into going to the wilderness to kill him, right?" Sahanen asked worriedly.
People are like this. They originally held the determination to die and never wavered. However, suddenly they were saved from a desperate situation and had a chance to live again. Not only did the original belief disappear, but they became afraid of death. This is also why insurance companies don’t
They sell insurance to people who are suicidal, but they sell insurance to people who have attempted suicide once.
Because the vast majority of such people will never commit suicide again. Someone once jumped off a building and was caught by the awning downstairs. The person thought about it, decided not to jump, and climbed back through the neighbor's window.
"Haha, who do you think my master is? What he says doesn't count, does it? Besides, who do you think you are? I want to kill you, so I will just drag you out and chop you up. Do you think I can play this with you?" Guo
He cursed.
Sahanen touched his bald head and said nonchalantly: "That's true. What kind of person is Marquis Dingyuan? I'm not worthy of carrying his shoes. How can he entertain me?"
"Why did the Marquis of Dingyuan release the flag master? I always feel uneasy. This is unreasonable. Isn't this letting the tiger go back to the mountain?" Sahe Chaantai said.
"I don't know why. If I knew, why would I still be here as a soldier? Humph." Guo Bing shook his head and said.
People in Yang Fan's system are all doers. Especially those who are soldiers, they don't have any brains. They don't think much about other things, they just do it when the master gives the order.
As for why they do this, that is a question that I need to think about. They are too lazy to use their brains.
After passing Shuangliao City and walking west for fifty miles, I finally saw a team of three to four thousand people waiting in front of me. They were still wearing the cloth armor they had when they went on the expedition, and they were covered with torn sheepskins, but they were already stained and damaged.
Out of shape.
A tall man rode on a Mongolian war horse, officially Mang Gurtai himself.
It's just that he is very haggard now, and his face looks decadent. His beard is half a foot long because it hasn't been trimmed in more than a year. The hair on his head has also grown out and is disheveled.
Except for a small money rat-tail braid, his hair was all down. His body was also wrapped in old sheepskin. Inside was a cloth mask. It was all black because it had not been washed.
Looking from a distance, I didn't see the blue flag, it looked like a black flag. More than a year in prison turned the blue flag into a black flag.
On both sides of him were Abatai (seven beeles) and Degelei (ten beeles). The three of them were a party. They went out to aid the Haraqin people together. Unexpectedly, they ended up in the prison of Duolun City together.
Three thousand prisoners of war from the Zhenglan Banner worked hard on the grasslands for more than a year. In addition, they served as training partners during military training and served as the blue army during military exercises.
The eyes of Sahanen and the other three people turned red. They quickly dismounted and ran towards Mang Gurtai.
When Mang Gurtai saw these three people, his eyes suddenly turned red. He got off his horse and ran towards them. Abatai and Degerei also ran together.
Sahanen and the other three knelt down in front of their three masters and cried loudly.
"Master Belle, I thought I would never see you again."
"Master, Zhenglan Qi will be in such a miserable state after you leave."
"Master, if you come back again, Zhenglan Banner will become Jierhalang's."
Mang Gurtai helped one person up, then another, crying until his eyes were red.
At this time, three other confidants who were captured with Mang Gurtai, Mi Mi, Ai Bali, and Tun Bulu. Mang Gurtai's three sons also ran over. The eldest son Maidali, the second son
Wen Gu and his third son Saharian followed behind.
Yang Fan has always had expectations for Mang Gurtai because he is impulsive, irritable, and can't control his anger. He was born to be unable to pee in the same pot as Huang Taiji.
They will inevitably fall out, but the time will be different sooner or later.
Historically, Zhenglan Banner was persecuted by Huang Taiji. Not only the children of Fuchagundai were implicated and killed, but Degelei, Sahalian, Abatai and others were also imprisoned, poisoned, and others.
Officials from Zhenglan Banner were dismissed from their posts and more than a thousand people were killed in Huang Taiji's prison.
All were unjust cases, and it was not until the Shunzhi Dynasty that the emperor vindicated them.
Yang Fan deliberately kept all the four beams and eight pillars of Mang Gurtai intact. Just for this day. At this time, in prison, Mang Gurtai had already figured out that when he went to the grassland, he fell into Huang Taiji's trick of inducing the tiger to leave the mountain.
plan.
After he left on the front foot, he began to pack up his men and horses behind him.
His sister was also married off, and the land was given as a dowry to the Mongols. This greatly weakened the strength of his camp. Huang Taiji was a soft knife, cutting little by little, gradually weakening him.
Duolun's commander, Zhao Shuigan, has taken good care of him for more than a year.
Information about Liaodong was often conveyed to him, so although he was in custody, he was not blocked from the news. Seeing what Huang Taiji did after that, he was furious.
It's a pity that he is in jail and there is nothing he can do.
Only once a month, when Zhao Shuigen held a banquet to invite all his comrades to have a good meal and report the situation to him, could he happily curse Huang Taiji.
He was devouring braised pork, drinking roasted knives, and cursing.
Until ten days ago, Zhao Shuigen suddenly came to him and told him that Dingyuan Marquis was ready to let him go back. He also brought all the captured Zhenglan Banner personnel, weapons and armors back to him, and also sent him enough to equip seven soldiers.
Equipment for 80,000 people.
Mang Gurtai was dumbfounded and looked at Zhao Shuigen in disbelief. He seriously doubted whether Zhao Shuigen was suffering from hysteria.
