Changping was originally a county; in the first year of the Jingtai era, Yongan City was built eight li east of the city, and soon after a new city was built south of Yongan City, with a total circumference of ten li and twenty-four paces. Government offices, guard battalions, and the like moved in one after another, and the original county seat gradually fell into disuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Zhengde era, Changping, whose administrative seat was already in Yongan City, was elevated to a department, with a Regional Commander, Vice Regional Commander, Military Defense Circuit, tomb-guarding eunuchs, and other officials stationed there, making it a vital defensive bulwark for Juyong Pass and the imperial tombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the roving bandits seized the capital, Liu Zeqing and others advanced west to attack Changping Department. All the various forces surrendered, except Regional Commander Li Shouqin, who cursed the bandits and refused to submit. In the end, the massed bandits surrounded him, and Li Shouqin drew his blade and cut his own throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the officials and officers who surrendered and the common people who fervently cheered the Shun army’s entry into the city did not see the good days they had hoped for. Soon after, the campaign of asset confiscation and forced contributions began, and just like in the capital, Changping City was plunged into a storm of blood and terror, filled with wailing and regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, because Li Zicheng realized that the asset confiscation and forced contributions had already caused extremely adverse effects, he ordered it halted on the eighth day of the fourth month. All detained officials, whether they had completed their payments or not, were to be released, and orders were sent to all camps and soldiers forbidding further harassment of the common people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, it only largely stopped in the capital itself. The campaign of asset confiscation and forced contributions still raged on vigorously in the cities around the capital, unfolding throughout the territories under the Shun army’s control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is easier to invite a spirit than to send one away. Once the latent evil desires in human nature are unleashed, trying to shut them down and retract them is no easy matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In particular, what kind of men were Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei, the garrison commanders now in Changping City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a man of sinister, venomous cruelty, vengeful over the slightest grievance, who even ate human brains, hearts, and livers raw, knew only to flee for his life in battle, and brought incomparable calamity upon the common people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was a coarse, domineering military brute, birds of a feather with men like Zuo Liangyu, who knew only plunder wherever he passed, and even ambushed and robbed his own subordinates for silver and provisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these two men here, one can imagine what kind of life the soldiers and civilians of Changping City are living now. Everyone is filled with boundless regret, thinking they should not have surrendered to the bandits back then, but should have followed Regional Commander Li Shouqin and fought to the bloody end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there is no medicine for regret in this world. Apart from weeping, each person can only hope that the Jingbian Army will come quickly, that the General Who Subdues the Caitiffs will come swiftly to rescue them from their dire plight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, while the former Great Ming officials and common people found life worse than death, for men like Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei, these days were utterly blissful, their whole bodies light and buoyant, as if dwelling in paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve struck it rich, struck it rich! This key area around the capital is indeed prosperous. From even a random, inconspicuous minor rich man, you can sometimes squeeze out one or two hundred thousand taels of silver. Changping has many wealthy households and a large population — added all together, how much can be plundered? Even if a portion is handed up to Liu Zongmin’s Asset Confiscation and Pacification Office, the lion’s share is still kept for oneself. From the commanders Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei on down, these uprising Shandong soldiers have all stuffed their pockets full. They deeply feel that throwing in their lot with the Dashing King back then was truly a brilliant decision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides money, there was the temptation of beautiful women. In the old days, these soldiers couldn’t get a single wife even by their thirties or forties. Now, they have one woman in the left arm and another in the right, and can even lay hands on young ladies from wealthy families and young misses from official households. Some with peculiar tastes even specifically target married women — your man dares to obstruct? Son of a bitch, I’ll chop your head off with one stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were floating on cloud nine, wishing only that these blissful days would last forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei themselves, they were not without friction. Qiu Lei had made his name earlier and had served as Regional Commander far longer than Liu Zeqing. But Liu Zeqing rose meteorically and, more importantly, garrisoned the prosperous region of Linqing, a famous key hub for canal grain transport, with unimaginably rich pickings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the troops under Liu Zeqing quickly surpassed those of Qiu Lei. Together, the two men commanded twenty thousand soldiers and three thousand mounted retainers, of which Liu Zeqing alone accounted for two thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was considerable bad blood between the two, but now the greater cause was paramount and plundering was urgent. So after careful consultation, they divided up the territory, each taking responsibility for his own sector without interfering with the other, and got along rather pleasantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zeqing was addicted to music and female entertainers. As early as his time in Linqing, he had kept over a hundred beautiful courtesans and favored attendants. When he marched north with the army, he naturally could not bring the beauties with him. But that did not matter; after arriving in Changping, he seized many more women from respectable families, and with beautiful courtesans and favored attendants, indulged in unrestrained revelry day and night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, back when they first captured Changping, Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei had also joined forces to attack Juyong Pass, but they could not even break into Nankou Pass, let alone Juyong Pass City itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, every day was spent in debauchery and drunken dreams, and they had long since cast all thoughts of their surroundings to the farthest heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Juyong Pass, and even the various personnel of Xuanfu Garrison, had long vanished from their memory; they had only left a few sentry posts near Nankou Pass earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, after a sumptuous breakfast, Liu Zeqing was about to summon his various entertainers for revelry and begin another day of drunken dreams, when a scout rider who stumbled frantically into his residence suddenly jolted him awake from his beautiful dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill the bandits!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoofbeats thundered like rolling thunder. Five thousand cavalry surged forward like a tidal wave. Twenty thousand horse hooves pounded the ground, like the rumbling thunder rolling from the horizon. The earth shook violently, and dust filled the sky like a raging sandstorm, sweeping overwhelmingly toward this side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the thunder of hooves trampling the ground drew near, the riders over there, all clad in red uniforms with gold trim, surged over like a tide of gold and crimson. Their uniforms all bore sun, moon, and wave motifs, and there were also pole after pole of gold-trimmed great banners emblazoned with sun, moon, and waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying an unstoppable momentum, they charged straight into their own sparse and chaotic battle formation, instantly smashing it into scattered fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Defeated?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zeqing was in a daze, his face pale. Defeated just like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the scout who had burst into his residence in panic early that morning reported the news of the Jingbian Army’s sortie, all of Liu Zeqing’s beautiful dreams were shattered. He hurriedly ascended the city wall to observe, and indeed saw wave after wave of cavalry racing toward Changping City, with billowing dust clouds behind them, seemingly indicating a large force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zeqing, a seasoned veteran of military affairs, could tell at a glance that the cavalry force approaching from behind numbered as many as three to four thousand, which greatly startled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only heard rumors before, but after staying in Changping for nearly a month, he had learned more about the affairs of Xuanfu Garrison, and knew that Wang Dou’s Jingbian Army over there had quite a large number of troops and was rather formidable, as could be seen from his own unsuccessful attack on Nankou Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the elite troops and numerous generals of the Jingbian Army startled him even more — just on this side alone, there were three to four thousand cavalry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must understand that three to four thousand cavalry was no simple matter. He, Liu Zeqing, after years of painstaking effort, had no more than two thousand cavalry. Relying on these cavalry, he had run rampant across Shandong without fear, and was even recruited by the Dashing King. Yet the enemy before him had three to four thousand riders, and who knew how many more behind them. Truly, the Jingbian Army could not be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although Liu Zeqing was shocked, he was not thrown into disarray. The enemy might be fierce, but his own forces were more numerous, and Changping was already regarded as his territory — how could he allow others to encroach upon it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He urgently consulted with Qiu Lei. The two men shared the same thinking: this city, which controlled the capital and the key routes to the west, could not fall into others’ hands. Especially since we are many and the enemy few, how could there be any reason not to fight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two immediately mustered their troops. Apart from leaving a small force to guard the city, they pulled everyone out of the city to do battle, intending to teach those invading Jingbian troops a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the troops under their command were already lax to begin with, and after nearly a month of asset confiscation and forced contributions, their military discipline and will to fight had completely vanished. This cursing, dawdling army was dragged out of the city. They were still one li from the west gate, their formation not yet set, the cannons on the city wall not yet prepared, when the opposing cavalry had already launched their attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei watched in horror as even more enemy cavalry appeared. The mounted troops converging from the rear of both sides could not be fewer than five thousand riders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, every one of them was highly skilled in horsemanship. Judging by their performance on horseback, each was probably no less combat-effective than the retainers under their own command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, under their incomparably fierce charge, men and horses spread forward like a tide. The soldiers in their own front line fired their firearms from afar, shot a few random arrows, and then collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screaming earth-shatteringly, they were sliced into countless chaotic small clumps under the sweeping iron cavalry, mowed down patch by patch like wild grass, and then wailing, they desperately fled toward the central army. From time to time, they were trampled to the ground by horse hooves, turning into mangled chunks of flesh and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Defeated just like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zeqing’s face was ashen, pale as paper. Everything before his eyes was like the deepest nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, he had still been reveling with his seized beauties late into the night, and at breakfast today, all was calm. Yet in the blink of an eye, the beautiful dream was shattered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Commander, we must leave quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Commander, the enemy is too powerful. Let us swiftly enter the city and then send an urgent appeal to the capital.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The personal officers beside him urgently urged him. None of them had the will to fight, and moreover, the routed soldiers from the front line were already being driven over like a tide and would soon press upon their central army. In military terms, this situation was called the tide has turned, beyond any hope of recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zeqing still thought about struggling a bit more, perhaps leading his retainers in a counter-charge with Qiu Lei. Suddenly, he looked over in terror and saw another torrent of steel appear on the right flank, as elite as the Jingbian Army to their front, all possessing the combat power of those elite retainer cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wore the same uniform red coats with gold trim, and their numbers were probably another two to three thousand. Their elite riders merged into a vast iron wave, fiercely crashing into the right flank, smashing their own formation into a wretched mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zeqing suddenly realized that these Jingbian Army elite riders must have been lying hidden near the northern mountains, and after the frontal assault broke through, they delivered another heavy blow to their own forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the hairs on Liu Zeqing’s body stood on end. The Jingbian Army’s scheme was so grand; there were likely more moves to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, just as he thought this, a sharp whistling sound came from within the city. A rocket shot into the sky from the city, exploding in midair, displaying a string of brilliant fireworks that slowly coalesced into two large golden characters: “Total Victory!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thunderous explosion made Liu Zeqing’s whole body tremble. He looked over with his hair standing on end and saw that following this signal, thick smoke suddenly billowed within the city, and then the sound of battle cries rang out. The sound grew louder and louder, until finally the entire city was shouting: “Kill the bandits!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shouting gathered the voices of countless people — men and women, old and young — as if all the common people of Changping City were crying out for slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zeqing and the others turned their heads back in a daze. What was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment, a rider came galloping over at full speed and shouted to Liu Zeqing in panic: “Grand Commander, disaster! The north gate has been opened, and the Jingbian Army has charged into the city — two to three thousand cavalry strong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Liu Zeqing could react, another rider galloped up: “Grand Commander, the east gate has been opened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Commander, the south gate has been opened — countless commoners are charging out of the city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Commander, countless commoners are surging toward the west gate. The brothers left to hold the city are being killed one by one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Liu Zeqing — everyone around him was trembling. Why was this happening?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They remembered how, when they first entered Changping, the four city gates had been opened just like this. And now they were being opened again the same way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chaos in the ranks had already spread to the central army. Jingbian Army cavalry charged and slashed in every direction, screams and rout-cries merging into one din. At the same time, Liu Zeqing saw commoners pouring endlessly from every gate — men and women, old and young, each brandishing a hoe or a club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even many women held kitchen cleavers, using pot lids as shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They howled at the top of their lungs: “Kill the bandits!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ordinarily meek commoners now surged forward like mad tigers, utterly fearless. Ahead of them, scattered garrison troops stumbled and fled, only to be mercilessly swallowed by a rain of hoes and clubs. Their shrill, piteous wails and pleas for mercy had no effect whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In particular, many women threw themselves forward in a frenzy, shrieking as they bit chunks of flesh from these men, like corpses passing through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zeqing’s heart was blank with dread. Why was this happening?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had all come too fast, too sudden, giving him no time to think. It seemed only yesterday everything had been fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swept along helplessly by his subordinates, he fled desperately toward the capital. Amid the chaos, he was still thinking: “Have my troops just scattered like this? The gold, silver, and treasure I toiled nearly a month to plunder — gone, just like that? The beauties I worked so hard to seize — gone too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought: “Right — I haven’t even enjoyed those newest beauties I snatched.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Jingbian Army is fierce indeed. How long did those roving bandits even hold out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those aren’t the Jingbian Army — the Jingbian Army is far stronger. And those aren’t the bandits’ main force either; they’re surrendered southern barbarian troops.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whispered voices in a foreign tongue came from a wooded mountain ridge on the northern slope, where a dozen or so men dressed like Great Ming commoners lurked with extreme caution. Yet their pairs of brutal eyes, their dark-red skin, small eyes, broad round faces, mostly sporting two wisps of rat-whisker mustaches and overly bare temples — on closer inspection, one could tell they were not people of the Central Plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one speaking now was Fende Boshiku Tong Gaer; correcting him was Niru Janggin Solhono. Nearby were Gabshiyan soldiers Hundashan, Zhaisamu, Ebei, and others — all elite scouts of the Qing state’s Gabshiyan camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had arrived days ahead of the main army to reconnoiter everywhere, and had now scouted right up to the edge of Changping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solhono himself was originally a man of the Manchu Bordered Red Banner. Through a series of battle merits, he had been promoted to Gabshiyan Niru Janggin. Historically, he was quite resourceful and had once advised Abatai: “Hejian cannot be taken because it relies on outside reinforcements. Destroy one of their camps, and all will collapse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abatai followed his advice, sending a general to raid Regional Commander Xue Dizhong’s camp. Xue Dizhong was defeated, and all the reinforcing armies scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, watching from the mountain as the two sides clashed and the roving-bandit troops soon suffered a crushing defeat, a grave look flashed through his eyes. The ten thousand cavalry below, placed under Jingbian Army command, were not to be underestimated — every man among them possessed the strength of an elite household retainer cavalryman in the Ming army. No wonder the roving bandits were routed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What especially alarmed him was the Jingbian Army’s effectiveness with spies and agents. Right under the bandits’ noses, they had incited the entire city to revolt; in the blink of an eye, inside and outside joined forces, and the bandits lost the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully studied the battle situation below. After casually correcting Tong Gaer beside him, his gaze suddenly sharpened. “Those — those are the Jingbian Army!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slave riders looked. From far away, a sea of banners approached, and between the banners were layer upon layer of cavalry. Their formation was impeccably tight, as if they were galloping — yet even at the gallop, they maintained strict array. The aura of a mighty army came dazzling toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, their troops seemed to stretch to the horizon; no one could tell how many stretched before or behind. Tong Gaer and the others all changed color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solhono warily scanned the surroundings and said gravely, “The Jingbian Army has indeed mobilized. This news must be sent back at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cluster of horses was gathered in the woods, every horse’s mouth fitted with a bit, every hoof wrapped in fine cloth, so that their movement made not the slightest sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solhono and his men mounted their horses in utter silence and slipped away from the woods as quietly as the most seasoned hunters, their every move cautious and professional. Neither side fighting on the plain below noticed their presence at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Cat, those Tatars look to be heading back to deliver word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Solhono and his men did not know was that on a mountain peak several li away, within a stretch of woods, a group of people was quietly spying on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them held a telescope wrapped in gray cloth; they wore gray felt hats and gray clothing. The man in the lead had an utterly ordinary face, like a timid old farmer. Beside him was a lean, middle-aged man — these were Yu Mao’er and Qian Hai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few years, Yu Mao’er had become a backbone of the Sharp Scout Camp and now even held the rank of Squad Commander. Qian Hai beside him likewise held an officer’s rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their uniforms and armor had also changed somewhat, now a full suit of gray — but underneath was all fine-quality chain mail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an upgraded version of the linked-ring armor: just as light, but with even more outstanding protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From several li away, they used their telescopes to spy on Solhono and his men. Solhono thought he was being careful, but in truth, his every move fell entirely into the eyes of Yu Mao’er and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching them quietly mount their horses and leave, Yu Mao’er ordered: “Don’t startle them. Just follow far behind their tails.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Changping, the hills and plains were covered with fleeing troops under Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei. Changping was lost to them, so they fled desperately toward the capital. Every man ran for his life, cursing only that his parents had given him two legs too few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elite cavalry in red uniforms with gold trim constantly swept after them, howling in pursuit. Besides these death-dealing elite riders, the routed soldiers discovered to their horror that everywhere they passed — in villages and hamlets for ten li around — the villagers greeted them with brandished hoes and clubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That frenzied momentum would not stop until they were pounded into minced meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet less than a month ago, on their march toward Changping, the common folk had welcomed them with baskets of food and jugs of drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In barely a month, the people’s hearts and the whole situation had turned into this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pursuers behind them, commoners constantly intercepting them along the road with war cries — the troops around Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei dwindled steadily. In the end, they abandoned the infantry entirely, hoping only that the mounted troops in their camp could escape with their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pursuers were simply too many — at least six or seven thousand cavalry biting relentlessly at their heels — while their own mounted force numbered no more than three thousand, and who knew how many had been lost in the earlier chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, they abandoned even the ordinary cavalrymen, hoping only that their household retainers could flee to safety with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet seeing how the Jingbian Army cavalry behind them pursued without letting up, despair surged in Liu Zeqing’s heart. Even if he escaped with his life, by the time he reached the capital, his household-retainer cavalry would likely number fewer than a hundred. And without troops, what would he count for in the Great Shun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had it come to this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zeqing still had not grasped what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt as if he were still in a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>",3883,"2026-06-03T14:06:27.906Z",1,"Novelzhen Translator","f6e974d53e3a08eaeb7f966619aaa1db9142b53d23a2c0f79fd0a905cc63653b","a-little-soldier-of-the-late-ming-border-army-chapter-868","a-little-soldier-of-the-late-ming-border-army-chapter-866",896,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-little-soldier-of-the-late-ming-border-army-cover.jpg"]
