Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 658 The Tea Stand Reads the Newspaper and Scolds the Villain, The Border Guards Are True Heroes!
"This generation is really a villain!"

Someone slammed the table, causing the tea to splash, and said something angrily.

But it was not Tang Datao, but another young scholar at the tea stall.

Tang Datao looked over, and sure enough, he saw that this person was also reading "Da Ming Pao" in his hand, so he started talking to him.

"In Datao, Tang Datao, brother, are you angry at the fact that the sacrificed soldiers of the Gansu garrison were questioned?"

The young scholar was of medium build and thin. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I am Zhu Yizun in Jiaxing. I just read the first article of this special issue of the Ming Pao. I was angry for a while and made my friends laugh."

Tang Datao started chatting, so he simply sat at Zhu Yizun's table.

He said: "What's so ridiculous about this? As it said in the article "My What's Better than My What" said, those who questioned the sacrifice of soldiers, most of them judge others by themselves, they are greedy for life and afraid of death, do not know loyalty, and live up to their responsibility." The responsible villain should be scolded!"

"Yes, this generation really deserves to be scolded." Zhu Yizun nodded, and then said a little ashamedly: "To be honest, I used to read that there were quite a few newspapers and periodicals that questioned the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. Because I didn't understand the matter of the soldiers in the north, I also criticized it. A little suspicious.

After reading this article today, I realized that although the soldiers who died were ordinary people, they knew loyalty, knew the responsibility of being a soldier, and were not afraid of hardships and sacrifices on the frontier.

I hate that those people questioned the frontier soldiers because of their inferior character. Isn't it just like the newspapers said, they judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? "

Tang Datao didn't despise Zhu Yizun after hearing this, but said: "Brother Zhu is honest, last year when some folk newspapers kept publishing articles questioning the sacrificed soldiers, why didn't I have doubts?

Fortunately, the Daming News sent a delegation of reporters to Gansu for on-the-spot interviews, and the emperor gave us a camera, so that we can understand the truth of the matter and not be misled by the articles of those villains. "

As he said that, Tang Datao turned to the following articles - he probably glanced at these articles when he read them before, and he already knew what the main content was.

At this time, I pointed to one of the articles titled "Evidence that none of the soldiers of the garrison sacrificed in Gansu Zhenyi surrendered".

"Brother Zhu, let's read this article, which lists the testimonies of many Oirat captives interviewed by Da Ming Daily.

It not only proves that none of the soldiers guarding the border surrendered, but also shows the number of captive cavalry, the fierce fighting, and the heroism of the sacrificed soldiers. "

Zhu Yizun turned the newspaper he bought to read the page backwards, and sure enough, he came across such a testimony of the Wara captives——

'Qianhu sent fifty scouts to take advantage of the wind and sand to attack Maotoudun, the furthest place from the Great Wall. They thought they could succeed, but they didn't expect that only a dozen or so people escaped in the end, and they were all terrified.

Qianhu gave the dozen or so people a whip, and then personally led thousands of cavalry to attack Maomu Toudun.

We had ten guns bought from the Russians, and a musketeer team of hundreds, so everyone thought it would be an easy fight.

Maomu Toudun's Ming army was able to defeat fifty reconnaissance cavalry with ten men, which is really powerful.But in the face of thousands of cavalry, their smartest way is to surrender obediently.

It is probably because the Ming army is dangerous and solid, and Qianhu did not send us to attack before they came up, but let people shout surrender in Chinese first.

We Wala people have always respected warriors. If ten people in this pier can defeat fifty cavalry, they are warriors.

In order to recruit them, Qianhu even offered them the ranch and ten herders per person, and even offered thirty herdsmen to the chief of the Ming army.

At that time, I was really envious and jealous when I heard it. I wished that I was the Ming army in that pier, so I immediately agreed.

Because I have been fighting with Qianhu for many years and became a glorious cavalry soldier. At present, I am only supported by seven tent herdsmen.

There are hundreds of herdsmen in total, and they are already considered minor nobles.I think Qianhu is either trying to trick them into surrendering. If it is not a lie, then Mrs. Qianhu must be bleeding.

However, what surprised and incomprehensible to me was that this prickly Ming army refused without hesitation.

Some people yelled at us, and some laughed and said that even if Qianhu's position was given to him, he would not take it very seriously.

Qianhu was furious because of this, and ordered a fierce attack, so first let the gunner control the artillery, and bombarded the pier, so that the Ming army inside seemed to disappear.

Immediately, hundreds of riders rushed to shoot arrows, flooding the pier with the crowd.

Fortunately, I'm not on the dispatch list.I saw that after these hundreds of people rushed over, the disappearing Ming army suddenly emerged from the pier wall and dropped black things one after another, followed by a series of explosions.

Because our people were too many and too dense, nearly a hundred people were killed and injured in the bombing at once!
Someone took advantage of the chaos to fire two cannonballs on the top of the wall with a tiger squatting cannon. The net-like shotgun shells claimed the lives of more than a dozen people.

Our first round of attack was blocked by several Ming troops in the pier, and we had to withdraw in a hurry.

Qianhu was even more angry, and let the artillery bombard again, trying to smash the pier wall.

About a hundred rounds were fired, and Qianhu really felt sorry for the shells and gunpowder, and saw that the pier had collapsed with a small gap, so he stopped, and then ordered the cavalry to attack.

And this time, Qianhu also used a clever method to let the cavalry shoot arrows around the pier in a sparse formation, inducing the Ming army to throw something that could explode.

At the same time, troops were sent to attack from a small gap, and rewards and incentives were offered to the soldiers.

In this way, hundreds of people were sacrificed, and this small mound was finally broken by us, and all the nine Ming soldiers in the mound were also killed by us.

But no one was happy, because too many people died, and the Ming army's good fighting and tenacity also scared many people.

Everyone, including me, is thinking, if the Ming army is so powerful, is it really a good thing for us to go to the Ming country to fight Caogu this time?

On the grassland, there are often wolves who go to the pasture to steal sheep and fail to eat sheep, but are beaten to death by herders, skinned and eaten. I don’t think we will become wolves who cannot steal sheep? '

After the testimony, the reporter who wrote the article, Li Daoying, listed the names of all the captives interviewed.It also shows that these captives are currently doing hard labor in Zhenyi to atone for their sins.

If anyone doubts the authenticity of these testimonies, they can go to the Zhenyi Station to look for the Walla captives who provided the testimonies.

Seeing this, Zhu Yizun said: "Since the Da Ming Pao is not afraid of others looking for those Wara captives, then most of these testimonies are true.

I really didn't expect that the soldiers of the garrison were so brave. Relying on a small pier, they faced thousands of captives with less than ten people, and they fought to the death without surrendering.

Moreover, he was indifferent to the surrender conditions proposed by Walaqianhu before. For loyalty, duty, and the people, he is not afraid of death.

If those who question them are real villains, then they are real heroes! "

"Brother Zhu is right!" Tang Datao couldn't help clapping his palms, agreeing, "These sacrificed soldiers are true heroes!"

Then, the two continued to read the article and found that Li Daoying had provided the identity information of the more than 100 sacrificed soldiers.

Then it is stated in the article that these more than 100 heroes may have family members or have no family members, but they are all people with roots in the Ming Dynasty.

If anyone still doubts the authenticity of their sacrifices, they can also go to their hometowns to verify.

At the end of the article, Li Daoying said again: Those who presumptuously and questioned the sacrificed soldiers may think that the matter in northern Xinjiang is far away and has nothing to do with them.

But they don't know that it is precisely because of these soldiers guarding the piers outside the border wall of the northern border day and night that they can guard against the northern captives going south and allow the people of China to live in peace.

This generation actually questioned the people who protected them. Could it be that they couldn't even repay their kindness?How is it different from animals?

"That's right, those villains are beasts!" Zhu Yizun watched and slapped the table again.

Tang Datao said: "I think those people are not as good as animals - some animals know how to be grateful and repay their kindness, but they don't know it. To say that they are no different from animals is an insult to animals!"

The two scolded those who questioned the sacrificed soldiers in their own ways for a while before continuing to read the following article.

One of them, a short article of less than a thousand words written by assistant reporter Du Xing, aroused the interest of the two.

But it was mentioned in this article that when the reporter group was about to leave Gansu Zhenyi, they encountered a team of envoys who had been ordered by the emperor to go to the Heshuo Special Department for accountability and returned.

However, this emissary team lacked the chief envoy Huang Zongxi and the three accompanying guards of the imperial guards.
