649:Unification of Marushu (2)
In the previous life, His Majesty established the Jiang Dynasty, and in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were non-stop turmoil, and there were natural disasters everywhere, and the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect took the opportunity to make a mess and resurrected it, although it did not cause much damage, but it also brought a certain gray haze to this new dynasty, and people were panicked.

There are even some bold rebels, who rumor that the empress is a demon queen, and have tried to assassinate her several times.
Even the death of His Majesty is somewhat involved with the Red Lotus Sect in the final analysis.
Every time he thought about it, Wei Ci felt that his emotions were uncontrollable.
"But......" Qi Guanrang hesitated slightly.
Wei Ci's thin lips opened slightly, with a slight chill.
"The battlefield is chaotic, the rebels intend to open the city to the Red Lotus Sect, and they accidentally die in the chaos of the army, isn't this normal?"
If this kind of unstable guy doesn't deal with it as soon as possible, will he keep it for the New Year?
Qi Guanrang originally wanted to keep it for Jiang Pengji to dispose of, but Wei Ci's words also made sense.
If you stay for an extra day, it will be more risky, so it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Wei Ci thought of something, and he said again, "Earlier, the lord promised An Xian that he would share 10% of his money after the war...... Those captives, the documentary evidence was screened early. The available people stay, and the other stubborn and radical ideas are still eliminated for the better......"
Killing prisoners is such a thing that damages his reputation, Wei Ci doesn't want Jiang Pengji to get involved, so it's better to throw this pot to An Xuan.
According to An Xian's ability and the Red Lotus Sect's style of death, the latter will definitely step on the bottom line of the former.
When An Xuan finished using this group of people, what was waiting for the Red Lotus Sect was to unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Throwing the hidden danger to An Xuan, Wei Ci did not feel the slightest pain in conscience.
Qi Guanrang keenly noticed that Wei Ci had read the accent on the words "stubborn and extreme".
When selecting prisoners, most of them are strong, young, and healthy, and those who are old, weak, sick and disabled are not considered, but Wei Ci made his attitude clear - he did not want those who had problems with their "thoughts", and the integrity of their physique and limbs became a secondary condition.
This anomaly made the official curious and a little more vigilant at the same time.
Wei Ci knew that Qi Guan was suspicious, and he explained, "The teachings of the Red Lotus Sect were inherited from a certain cult during the Sixteen Kingdoms period...... Wen Zheng was full of poetry and books, so he naturally knew how many cults were involved in the early days of the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, which unified the 16 countries...... This Red Lotus Sect has to be guarded against. If you have a problem with your brain, don't ask for it. ”
This reason can indeed convince Qi Guanrang.
Not to mention far away, just talk about the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism that are now divided into courts, and their followers are all over the five countries.
The Red Lotus Sect cannot be compared to these two giants, but the three are the same religions, and they can vaguely see a little shadow of each other.
Although Buddhism and Taoism are not forces in the traditional sense, we cannot ignore their influence on the general trend of the world.
If the Red Lotus Sect can have such a wide range of followers, fanning the flames everywhere and making demons, it is indeed quite annoying.
The official nodded in response.
"Cheng, this matter is recorded. ”
This battle was an unprecedented victory, with more than 23,000 prisoners in total, the others were either killed on the spot or seriously wounded, and those who still had gas were transported to the military region for medical treatment.
The officer ordered people to clean up the battlefield, clean up the corpses, search for the still alive, and recover the arrows that could still be used......
Although the owner of his family is a local tyrant, the war is too expensive, and it can be saved.
In the next few days, the busiest will probably be the medical district.
Those with flesh wounds, just clean up the wounds and bandage them, heal the wounds, and have the ability to jump around alive, as well as military merits.
Those who had severed their hands and feet, whose abdomen had been cut open by a bucket, whose bones had broken and embedded in their internal organs, and who had large pieces of flesh cut off...... With such a heavy injury, the doctor had no choice but to do his best, and the patient finally resigned himself to his fate.
There are also people who can't survive and are forced to die of pain.
In fact, the large number of casualties among the soldiers were not on the frontal battlefield, but after the war.
Too many people are dying from their injuries.
Even if it passes, if the wound touches dirt during the healing period, it is very easy to fester, so that the wound cannot heal and die with a whimper.
Fortunately, it is still a cold winter, and the temperature is not so hot and humid, and the chance of wound inflammation and ulceration is much reduced.
However, the mortality rate is still higher than the survival rate.
On the other hand, after Jiang Pengji asked people to rest for a day, they set off from the camp and attacked Fenghu County according to the plan.
Coincidentally, the day before the attack on Fenghu County was the New Year's Day.
Before the camp, Jiang Pengji had already asked people to buy enough pigs and sheep from the people with silver money or the same amount of rice grain.
On the day of the New Year's Day, the cooking soldiers slaughtered the pigs and sheep.
Pig blood is collected and condensed into blood clots, which are prepared and used as food.
The internal organs are processed to remove the fishy odor, and the ingredients are added to the spices to cook and make a side dish cooked food.
The pork bones are boiled into a white and thick bone broth, and the soup base is made of spices, and the flavor of the bone broth is so strong that it can almost float into Fenghu County.
As for the other pork and lamb, each part is separated.
Some are boiled directly in white water, while others are added with fungus and stewed into a pot of stewed meat, and you can't help but salivate just by looking at the color.
Stir-fried salt-and-pepper pork ribs, stir-fried shredded pork, diced kung pao pork...... Or cut the pork into minced meat and wrap it into meat buns......
In addition to these, some raw meat and shaved bamboo strips were also made, and the soldiers could skewer the meat themselves and bake it on the fire.
As for the rice prepared in the kitchen, it is cooked with pre-mixed broth as water.
"This New Year's Day, everyone is open to eat. ”
The above are Jiang Pengji's original words.
The march was already hard, but such a sumptuous meal was rare for the New Year on weekdays.
The soldiers gathered in groups of three or five, eating Chinese New Year's Eve rice around the bonfire, with a shelf on the bonfire, hooking a pot, in which all kinds of mountain goods and meat pieces were boiled, and the tender soup made a gurgling sound...... The hot soup and hot rice are in the stomach, and the whole person is warm.
In contrast, Fenghu County is deserted.
There are strong troops stationed outside the city, and even though it is the New Year's Day, almost no one celebrates.
The most pitiful were the soldiers who defended the city, squatting on the high city walls, their thin and shabby clothes did not have much effect on the cold, their stomachs were empty, they were so hungry that they were colicing, and they rumbled and sang about the empty city plan...... Many people couldn't help but look into the distance, there was a camp set up by Jiang Pengji's army, they couldn't see anything else, but they could see the light of the jumping and burning fire.
Try to sniff it, and there is a faint smell of food in the air.
Even from such a distance, they seemed to be able to hear the commotion coming from there.
"That's a good ......"
A soldier defending the city muttered in a low voice, with a deep envy, and his mind simulated the taste of delicious food......
The more I thought about it, the more saliva I secreted, and finally I swallowed it in a big gulp, and the thunder rolled and rumbled in my abdomen.
In Fenghu County, the leader of the Red Lotus Sect who was guarding the city received a reward from outside the city, and his heart was irritable.
"It's really annoying to step on the mother! provoked Lao Tzu and took their nest in the middle of the night!"
