The Yu family in Dengzhou was a local surname, and had served as a Qianhu and county magistrate of the defense army in the past. However, none of Yu Maner's family had any relatives.
During the Taihe period, in order to fight against the southern bandits, the imperial court signed a large number of troops in Shandong to exterminate millets, and treacherous and subordinate officials took advantage of the opportunity to oppress them, forcing the people to destroy their entire villages and entire villages. Yu's family lost their land at that time.
In the following years, Shandong suffered from locust plagues, droughts, and floods one after another, and people died of hunger in various places. Finally, thanks to Busy's father and uncle, who had some country skills and good swordsmanship, he could barely make a living.
In this way, Yu Man'er has tasted the smell of tree bark and wild fruits, and he has also seen the scene of changing children and eating them.
It wasn't until the famous Li Quan and Li Tiejian took in their family that Yu Man'er lived a stable life. In the following years, as Li Quan's power continued to expand, Yu Man'er's father Yu Yang and uncle Yu Tan followed.
Li Quan fought everywhere, constantly suppressed, and subdued the local tyrants from all over the country. Not only was Yu Man'er no longer in trouble, he could also drink wine, eat meat, and wear cotton and brocade.
When Mao'er grew up a little, he also became Li Quan's subordinate.
Many times, he and his companions suffered losses during the fight. Seeing everyone abandoning their helmets and armor and about to be killed by the enemy, it was Li Quan who charged back and forth with his iron spear and relied on his own bravery to save the situation.
Many times, he and his companions chanted Li Tiejian's name, as if no enemy, no matter how ferocious, could stop Li Quan; as if as long as they followed that tall and generous figure, they would no longer have fear and would gain confidence and courage.
.
Because of his respect for Li Quan, Yu Maanger tried his best to do everything properly, so in just two years, he became one of the leaders of Li Quan's personal guards. Because of this status, Yu Maanger gained special respect from others.
, so he became more wholeheartedly loyal to Li Quan.
After his father and uncle died in the battle, he regarded Li Quan as his only support in troubled times.
But now, Li Quan was forced to death by the enemy.
The person who killed Li Quan was the man named Guo Ning in front of him.
It was he who secretly colluded with the traitor Binzhou Yin Chang, and it was he who used underhanded tactics to set a trap for everyone. It was he who sent troops to attack the Anding Town camp, causing such tragic casualties!
Before Li Quan committed suicide, he also advised Yu Man'er that they should compete with each other and use their own methods. They should only focus on victory or defeat, and there is no need to worry about it.
How can Yu Man'er not be entangled?
At this moment, there were so many things swirling in his mind that he felt like his brain was about to explode.
This Guo Ning is obviously from Hebei, why did he come to Shandong to kill people and seize the territory of Shandong heroes, and still act so confidently? Many of the soldiers of the Ding Navy are from Shandong, even fellow countrymen of Li Quan's army, but they
How could they wield a knife at the fellow villagers? How could they have the nerve to celebrate such a victory?
What's even more disgusting is Tian Si. He is Li Quan's most important general, but Li Quan's body is still cold, and he is planning to join a new master! He has so many people under Tieling Terrace, but they are under Tieling Terrace.
Watching the camp in Anding Town being broken down, they did nothing!
And everyone else, they are all cowards! There are so many of them sitting here, hundreds or thousands of them, but watching Guo Ning walking through the crowd, they all just smile flatteringly.
No one dares to get up and do anything to avenge Li Tiejian?
They actually felt so comfortable being prisoners!
Yu Man'er has never read a book and doesn't understand any big principles. But he will not accept these people's style in any case.
Have all these people forgotten? Without Li Tiequiang, they would have died in this miserable world! Without Li Tiequiang's support, they would be worse than pigs and dogs!
Yu Man'er almost lost his mind. He glared at Guo Ning's walking figure with all his strength, his eyes almost bursting open. If his eyes could kill, Guo Ning would have been carefully chopped into pieces.
He opened his mouth subconsciously and cursed silently:
Hateful! Hateful that all the daggers around me have been taken away... Otherwise, I could pounce on him now and avenge Li Quan!
Yu Manger gritted his teeth and almost exhausted his rationality to control himself from jumping up and fighting with Guo Ning. Where no one else was paying attention, his hands were like iron pliers, ruthlessly
Caught into the sandy soil on the ground.
The gravel got embedded between his fingernails, which hurt a little, but he didn't care at all.
"You! And you! Well, here are a few more smart-looking ones..."
An officer from the navy suddenly strode over, reaching out and pointing everywhere. He saw Yu Man'er and immediately said: "And you! Why don't you run out of strength? Is it fun to grab soil? Stand up and follow me.
!”
Yu Man'er was suddenly called out, trembled, and quickly stood up.
Beside him, several prisoners looked at each other and stood up in confusion.
The officer walked a few steps, turned around and shouted: "What are you doing standing around here? Follow me quickly!"
The prisoners recruited from several places gathered together into forty or fifty people, followed the officers, and left the camp.
As we walked, the bloody smell around us gradually became thicker, and we arrived at the ditch to the east of the main camp in Anding Town, where the two armies first fought fiercely.
In the dim sky, the corpses piled up inside and outside the trench became more and more hideous, and Yu Man'er felt waves of discomfort in his heart.
He saw the officer who was leading the way walking in front, and there were many signs of diarrhea on the back of his head, which was extremely disgusting.
He couldn't help but think that if he threw a stone at it, it would be very refreshing to have his head ripped open in an instant. Unfortunately, there were cavalry patrols from the Dinghai Navy outside. If he did this, he might not be able to run very far before he would be chased away by the cavalry.
Kill on top.
The shabby officer suddenly stopped and asked the prisoners to line up in front of him, each of whom was given a pine torch.
He shouted loudly: "You guys are all from various departments under Li Quan, and they all seem to be smart. I will give you something to do."
The prisoners were restless for a while, and someone asked in a low voice: "What does the general want us to do?"
"Start from here and go all the way west. Try to find a way to identify your comrades who died in battle. If you recognize one, drag out the body and take it there to register!"
The rough-headed officer pointed in the direction of the embankment by the Beiqing River. There were many Alixi soldiers from the navy carrying dry firewood to the dry highlands, as if they wanted to make a fire for cooking.
"What is this going to do?" Yu Man'er asked.
The head officer said: "We need to register the name and place of origin of the deceased, and then cremate the body! Guo Jiedu said that although the two armies were fighting, there was no selfish hatred between the soldiers, not to mention that we are all Han'er... Can you recognize the identity of the deceased?
, we will try our best to bring the bones to the family members of the deceased! If we cannot find relatives, we will bury them properly in a special place!"
Seeing that the prisoners were a little stunned, the savage officer raised his voice: "Hurry up! If it is later, it will be completely dark... If it is delayed until tomorrow, the bodies will turn green and black, and it will be very troublesome to distinguish them!"
"
This ruthless officer is naturally Guo Alin's subordinate, Zhengtang Jiu Lun.
Just now he urged his companions to move forward together, snatched the large piece of horse meat from Guo Alin and ate it among themselves, which made Guo Alin very distressed.
At this time, Guo Zhongyuan wanted to arrange manpower to continue cleaning up the battlefield, and replaced Ali Xi and others who had been busy for more than an hour to rest. Guo Alin then said to Guo Zhongyuan, such a group of people under my men had almost rested, and they just went to do some work.
.
Tang Jiuyu had been fighting for half a day, and he was still wounded. How could he bother to do such rough work? He was complaining repeatedly, but he couldn't stand Guo Alingong to avenge himself, so he sent him and all his subordinates out.
At that moment, the soldiers cursed and took off their uniforms, walked around the battlefield, collecting the corpses.
These things are not complicated, and everyone in the army knows how to do them.
According to Ding Haijun's previous regulations, all the enemy's corpses were collected in one place, dug into a big pit and buried deeply. For the corpses of our own soldiers, branches were picked up and piled into pyres, the corpses were burned to ashes and placed in containers.
Take it back inside. After the family receives the ashes, if they are willing to bury it at home, they can handle it themselves. The military government encourages them to bury the ashes at the Martyrs' Shrine in Donglai Mountain, and they can still get sacrifices.
However, this time's approach was different from what Tang Jiuran expected.
Guo Ning had just given special instructions that the soldiers under Li Quan who died in battle should be treated in the same way as his own soldiers who died in battle. The first thing to do is to try to identify their identities so that their families can be notified in the future.
The military victory since ten months has given the navy a total of ten military states. The task that follows is how to win over the hearts and minds of these territories. In this regard, there is a lot to do, not a little bit.
Can't be ignored.
Guo Zhongyuan relayed Guo Ning's intention and said it seriously.
Tang Jiuyu did not dare to neglect, so he specially selected many prisoners from the prisoner camp and started work immediately.
The prisoners did not expect that Ding Haijun could achieve this level. Several of them looked at each other at first, and then handed over to Tang Jiuyan: "General, don't worry, these are our brothers, we will naturally do our best and get it done as soon as possible."
