The Oirats are at it again. ” Hunting Ω text “Net WwΩW. Lie Wen. CC

Fang Xing asked Zhu Zhanji who had just met those envoys: "What are they doing here?"

Zhu Zhanji said excitedly: "Brother Dehua, the three kings of Wala sent envoys together this time, not only bringing the compensation from the last negotiation, but also the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty who have been looted over the years."

Due to the long distance, Albucourt still sent a fast horse back to report the letter last time, but the delivery was still delayed until now.

"It's already fast."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Many small tribes on the grassland were wiped out by the Oirats. It is said that they went to further places to plunder and robbed a lot of cattle and horses."

This was within Fang Xing's expectation. The grassland has never had friendship, only killing and plundering.

"When they get stronger again, Daming will still be a fat sheep in their eyes."

Fang Xing warned: "Thus, Da Ming should adopt various means to allow the Oirats and Tatars to form a balance of power. Otherwise, as long as one side is annexed, then our Da Ming will face another big enemy."

Zhu Zhanji hummed: "Brother Dehua, my younger brother went to the Ministry of War today, but Jin Shangshu felt a little unwell, so I just said a few words."

"What did Lord Jin say?"

Jin Zhong is humble and polite, and he never strives for merit.

And when Zhu Gaochi was almost abolished, Jin Zhong cried bitterly to persuade Zhu Di, and finally reversed his decision.

So when mentioning this Shangshu, Fang Xing was in awe.

Zhu Zhanji said: "Master Jin said that Wala was severely injured by my Ming Dynasty last year. Within five years, I am afraid that they will all be under the Tatars, so the Ministry of War is thinking about how to balance the strength of the two sides."

"It was a bit harsh."

Fang Xing didn't know the results of the second Northern Expedition, but he was confident that because of his involvement with the Jubaoshan Qianhu Office, the Oala people must have suffered a lot more losses.

However, Fang Xing didn't think that the Wala people would be ruined, so he asked, "What is the court's attitude towards the Wala people?"

This question is not about people in the court, but about Zhu Di's opinion.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the calligraphy and painting on the wall, dazed for a moment, and said: "The emperor is a little dissatisfied with Wala, but this time the Vala envoy not only paid the compensation, but also sent fifty good horses to him. Grandfather."

Under Fang Xing's gaze, Zhu Zhanji said helplessly, "Grandpa Huang warned the Oala envoy, and finally he said a few words of comfort."

What does this old Zhu mean? Fang Xing was a little confused.

Are you going to slap me and then give me a sweet date? Still have a high degree of vigilance against the Wala people.

But this matter has to be discussed after the Lantern Festival, Fang Xing remembered the soldiers and civilians who had been taken captive, and dragged Zhu Zhanji away.

"Where are they placed?"

"Just outside the Jubao Gate, the tents have already been set up..."

"Why not send them home?"

"Well……"

Outside Jubao Gate, when Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji arrived, they saw a large area of ​​tents.

On the right is Broom Lane, and on the left is the moat. There are more than 300 people standing there in a daze.

And just under a row of big trees by the river, a woman with facial features could vaguely see some of the beautiful woman crying in her arms holding a child, and a man stood opposite her with blank eyes.

Dozens of tents were densely built around, and three men in Mongolian costumes pointed and laughed not far away.

Even though the three hundred people were wearing new clothes, their dull eyes and the empty and thin bodies under the clothes all told of the suffering they had suffered.

Zhu Zhanji was also sad after seeing this scene, and said in a low voice: "Brother Dehua, there are more than ten people missing limbs, and they are in the tent at the moment."

Fang Xing asked in confusion: "They should all be from the North, why not send them home?"

At this time, several officials of the Ministry of Rites smiled and came over to salute Zhu Zhanji. After hearing Fang Xing's question, one of the officials of the Ministry of Rites named Hu Wei smiled and said: "Xing and Bo don't know something, let them When you come to Jinling, firstly, His Majesty wants to comfort you face to face, and secondly, the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies want to inquire about the reality of the Wala people."

At this moment, more than a dozen women came out of the tent, and they all greedily looked at the boy who was tightly hugged by the woman, with tears washing down that haggard face.

Seeing Fang Xing watching this scene, Hu Wei said: "The woman under the tree was taken captive by the Oirats the year before last, and she was humiliated in every way, but this woman has a strong temperament. She was pregnant three times, and she beat her lower abdomen with a wooden stick. Give birth to evil seeds."

"This time her husband brought her baby to welcome her in Beidi, and I don't know what will happen in the future!"

How can it be? Although it is not the era of ritual cannibalism, the fate of these women is known without asking.

Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice: "Brother Dehua, don't worry, my younger brother has already made arrangements. These women will be arranged in the younger brother's Zhuangzi, so that no one will know their origins."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "If you can think of these, I will..."

"Husband, Your Majesty the Grandson is very kind. He has arranged jobs for us unclean women. From now on, you can raise your children. In the next life, I will... devote myself to the ox and the horse to repay you."

Surrounded by silence, the man went to hold the boy's hand. Probably due to the nature of mother and child, the boy couldn't help crying from being a stranger at the beginning to now when he was about to say goodbye.

"Mother...Mother, you come home with me, mother..."

There was a gentle smile on the woman's face, and she said softly: "Little Pig will go back with Daddy, Mother is working here, and will be home soon..."

The voice was so gentle, like a mother shaking a fan to coax the child to sleep on a summer night, it made Fang Xing's heart feel as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and he thought of his mother in his mind.

The man couldn't bear it, but he forcibly pulled the child away from the woman.

The woman bowed to the man, and after the man walked away with the child, just when Fang Xing thought she would cry bitterly, the woman suddenly turned around and slammed into the big tree behind her.

"Old Seven..."

Fang Xing yelled fiercely and rushed over, Xin Laoqi was even faster, but when he rushed to the woman's side, he could only look at the woman with a bloody forehead at a loss.

"Save her! Bring her back!"

Fang Xing ran over to turn the woman over, reached out to ask Xin Laoqi for a first aid kit, and desperately applied the hemostatic powder on the woman's forehead.

"You're alive! You're alive!"

Fang Xing's hands were stained red with blood, but the woman's eyes just widened, and her fingers pointed north, flicking from time to time.

Zhu Zhanji came quietly, put his hand under the woman's nostrils to test it, and then said to Fang Xing who was sprinkling the powder with a face of madness: "Brother Dehua, she has... gone..."

"She went?"

Fang Xing shook his head, Zhu Zhanji was horrified to find that Fang Xing was already in tears.

"She shouldn't have gone..."

Fang Xing stood up slowly, his eyes swept over the men and women who were sent back.

After seeing this tragic scene, the dozen or so women all sobbed. One of the women came out slowly, eyes full of anger and said: "My lord, the little girl has something to say."

Fang Xing was still staring at the woman blankly, Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice, "Speak, I'll listen."

The woman blessed herself and said: "Niang Yan didn't want to ask for death at first, she also wanted to earn money for her son to marry a wife, but...but she has it again in her stomach."

That must be a wicked species!

Everyone around sighed.

The woman choked up and said: "Yanniang couldn't support herself when she was in Wala, she just wanted to see her son again, so she cheered up again, but...unexpectedly, when she was on the road, those beasts took her... "

"Who did it? Where?"
