Chapter 143 I’ll take you home

The auspicious people in Laotai are always light-hearted. I woke up when the cock crowed for the first time. Originally, looking at the morning, I wanted to huddle up in the warm quilt and sleep for a while, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Chi Yi sat up, put his feet on the ground, put his hands on the edge of the bed, squinted his eyes, took a few deep breaths, regained his consciousness, and then prepared to go outside for a patrol.

Suddenly, through the edge of the bed, he felt the earth shake. Lao Taiji was shocked, thinking it was an earth dragon turning over (earthquake), but in a blink of an eye, with his many years of combat experience, he could tell that this was not an earth dragon turning over, but tens of thousands of war horses galloping. From the galloping horses, he immediately judged that the enemy was attacking.

He stood up violently. He felt dizzy due to the violent rise. He couldn't care less and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come on, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking. Prepare for war, prepare for war."

The five hundred personal guards in Taiji Mansion were immediately awakened.

Although the bed was warm, the leader's orders were overwhelming, and the five hundred guards quickly dressed up and formed a team.

At this time, the fire outside was already blazing into the sky, and the screams of killing and killing were combined together, shaking the earth and the earth.

The team had just finished forming here, and there was already a crowd outside the mansion shouting, and the enemy surrounded Taiji Mansion in a blink of an eye.

"Quick, hit the door and resist."

Door bars were added to the gate, and guards began to move ladders along the tall wall, preparing to release arrows on the top of the wall to ward off the enemy.

Suddenly, there were explosions all around, and the tall and thick palace walls collapsed in pieces. Before the guards could recover from the wails and screams, large numbers of Ming troops had already entered. They killed people on sight without any mercy, turning the magnificent Taiji Mansion into a hell on earth in the blink of an eye.

The battle ended smoothly. Taiji Camp was burned down by fire. Even if some herdsmen wanted to resist, their equipment and weapons were all in the fire and they had no time to bring them out. In addition, Taiji Mansion fell, the leader died, and the flock lost its leader. They The only option is to kneel down and surrender.

Breaking open Taiji's treasure house, there are four to five hundred years of collections there. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mountain. The gold and silver below have become moldy and black, but the newly accumulated gold and silver above are sparkling.

And boxes of jewelry were piled up to the roof.

Also, in fact, gold, silver and jewelry have no practical use on the grassland. They can only be piled up for their owners to show off and play with.

Without anyone else, Lu Mou directly estimated based on Lu Mou's experience in dealing with silver in the past year. Not counting jewelry and antiques, there were at least more than two million taels of gold and silver here, but not much more.

He calmly ordered: "Move and load the truck, and then burn the cloth and grain. Leave not a blade of grass behind."

After exiting, seeing Qi Fei coming in a hurry, Lu Mou asked anxiously: "Have you found the slave camp?"

Qi Fei nodded solemnly.

"How about it?"

"Go and see for yourself."

Followed Qi Fei to the slave camp.

This is not a camp, it is a huge livestock pen. In the midst of countless herds of cattle and sheep, under the belly of the sheep and on the sheep dung, many unkempt slaves with almost no clothes are densely packed, shivering in the cold wind.

When a cow pooped a pile of dung, several slaves crawled over and put their hands and feet in to warm themselves. When they saw undigested grains in their feces, they grabbed them without hesitation and stuffed them into their mouths.

Drive the sheep away to reveal the Han slaves in that area. They were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed one by one: "Master, please don't touch these sheep. One of them is missing. Master Taiji wants us to die alone."

Lu Mou announced to them with tears in his eyes: "We are the royal masters of the Ming Dynasty. Your Taiji has been killed by me, and your master has been killed by us. Stand up and we will take you home."

The slaves were confused for a long time before a man who was as thin as a skeleton asked cautiously: "Did you set the fire? Are the screams of the people on the other side caused by you killing them? You are really the king of the Ming Dynasty. Master, are you really here to take us home?" Qi Fei nodded firmly: "We are Master Wang, and this is our Highness King Ding."

The man was stunned for a long time, started to cry, and finally burst into tears: "I have been waiting for Master Wang for year, and Master Wang is always on the other side of the sky. Now, Master Wang is finally here."

Then there was a hoarse, earth-shattering cry.

Groups of Han people stood up, but there were still many people in the sheep dung pile. They could never get up again, and they died of cold and hunger on the eve of returning home.

Walking among the piles of corpses, Lu Mou ordered in a dry voice: "Order the soldiers to carry these compatriots out, clean them, and incinerate them. We will take their ashes home."

A baby's cry came feebly among the dead. Lu Mou rushed over in a few steps. It was a child, lying on his mother's body and crying. When she saw a stranger, she opened her helpless and frightened eyes, not knowing what to do.

Lu Mou knelt down and wanted to pick her up, but his mother, who seemed to be dead, instinctively held her tight.

The woman slowly opened her dull eyes and saw the familiar Ming Dynasty shirt. The woman asked: "Is it the Ming army?"

Lu Mou nodded, and the woman's eyes lit up: "My man was once a general of the Ming Dynasty."

Lu Mou was silent. "Sister-in-law, I will take you home."

The woman shook her head slowly, then reluctantly let go of her hand: "My body is already dirty, giving birth to such a bastard. But she is my child after all. Please bring her back to the Central Plains, general."

"Sister-in-law, come with me."

The woman moved a little, and her entire lower limbs rotted to the point where only bones were left.

"My body is dirty, I have no shame to go back to see my husband. My legs are gone, I can't go back to Ming Dynasty." Then his eyes suddenly filled with hope: "Please give me a happy life, general, and bring my soul back to the Ming Dynasty." Come home."

Lu Mou cried and hugged the child tightly: "Sister-in-law, I will raise the child as my sister and raise her to adulthood."

Then he said softly: "Sister, bury your face in my brother's arms and don't look at it."

Then, he slowly pulled out the small sword and stabbed it into the woman's chest. He cried bitterly and murmured: "Sister-in-law, go home with your brother."

Then, with a happy smile on her face, the woman stood up and asked Qi Fei, "How many prisoners are there?"

"Nearly 30,000 Mongolians were captured, and about 50,000 Han people surrendered."

"Ask those Han people if they are willing to go home with me. If not, all those who are higher than this wheel, regardless of Mongolian Han, will be slaughtered."

Qi Fei glanced at the wheel, turned around and walked away with his knife.

When the massacre was over, there was not a single Mongolian left alive, or a Han Chinese who was unwilling to follow them home. Because Lu Mou did not put the wheel upright.

In this battle, countless gold and silver were seized, 30,000 Han slaves were rescued, 50,000 Han craftsmen were taken in, and 30,000 war horses were taken over.

Kill the other cattle and sheep on the spot and let everyone have a full meal. Then, bring enough beef and mutton to eat along the way, hitch the carriage, pull up the gold and silver, destroy any complete thing, and the army begins slowly Go south, come home.
