Under the city wall, a team of more than 1,000 people was still standing in formation, Ding Zhuang was holding all kinds of weapons and looking at the city gate, his body was straight, even the women in the team were standing tremblingly, and no one dared to disperse.

After ensuring the control of the city, Yang Ming prepared to enter the city

"Mr. Ding Bai, pick up those who ran away just now." For those who were undisciplined and fled from the battlefield, Yang Ming did not want them to be qualified to enter the city.

More than a dozen people were pulled out of the team, all of them disgraced, and some even cried. These people could only fight hunger and cold in shacks or in the open air, along with the captives outside the walls.

"All march into the city!" Yang Ming gave the order with a loudspeaker.

There is no way for the urn city of Rucuimen to pass heavy trucks and cannons, even if the urn city is demolished. Behind the west wall of the Rucui Gate is the school field, which is the place where the garrison exercises, and Yang Ming plans to dig a gap two zhang wide in this section of the city wall and drive the vehicles and cannons into it.

"Tear down the walls?" Fan Tongzhou heard the news and hurried to see Yang Ming.

"Yes. Otherwise, the iron carts and cannons will not be able to enter. ”

There is no escaping this reason. After Houjin got the news of the loss of Shunyi, he would definitely send a large army to retaliate, without Yang Ming's iron car cannons, what awaited the whole city would be a bloody massacre.

"It's fine. The students went into the city to discuss with Zhao Zhixian, and recruited craftsmen and people to demolish the city wall. There were also many craftsmen and laborers among the captives outside the city, and they could work as long as they were fed, and it would not take much time to demolish and rebuild. ”

Fan Tongzhou and Zhao Zhixian were originally acquaintances, more than a month ago, the Houjin soldiers came to the city, Zhao Zhixian took the students out of the city to surrender, although Fan Tongzhou strongly opposed, but it was difficult to support alone, so he could only keep a few people in his family at home, close the door of the house, if the Houjin soldiers came to harass and plunder, he planned to commit suicide and martyrdom with the whole family. Fortunately, after the Hauge army entered the city, it returned to the army with strict discipline and did not plunder as much as in its place, and the people in the city could still steal peace.

Fan Tongzhou thought that he would be able to stay alone in this way, but who knew that those students in the city would not let him go, and they must pull him to take the blame together. Fan Tongzhou refused, and someone threatened to report to the Houjin Army that he had different ambitions, and in a hurry, Fan Tongzhou had to abandon his family and find an opportunity to escape from the city.

Today, Fan Tongzhou regained Shunyi City with Yang Ming, and Zhao Zhixian and all the people in the city were shocked, and they were all quite afraid of Fan Tongzhou, and they came to talk to him. Invisibly, Fan Tongzhou's status among these masters has improved a lot, and speaking and doing things are even more important.

By the time the gap in the city wall was opened, it was almost time (about three o'clock in the afternoon). Yang Ming still hung up the trailer as he did when he set off in the morning, and under the escort and guidance of Ding Yousan and others, he drove into Shunyi City.

Coming in through the gap in the north wall, there is the school grounds. When I looked up, I saw that the sky was full of desolation, and all the houses within a few tens of meters of the shells had collapsed, and they were in ruins, and these brick and wood houses were completely defenseless in the face of high-explosive grenades. The corpses on the street have been cleaned up, but the blood stains are still everywhere, and there are still people digging and searching for the ruins of several houses, some of the corpses have been picked up, and relatives are kneeling around the corpses and crying.

In addition to killing and injuring dozens of Houjin soldiers, the common people in nearby houses also suffered heavy casualties, and I am afraid that no less than 100 people were killed and injured by shrapnel and shock waves, and houses collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ming couldn't bear it. He found Fan Tongzhou and asked him to properly resettle these people who had lost their houses and relatives, and sent Ding Yousan to arrange sergeants and Ding Zhuang to help dig and clean up.

The place where Yang Ming is going to stay is the Shunyi Guerrilla General's Mansion, which is also known as the Guerrilla Yamen. On November 16, the Shunyi guerrilla battalion followed the army of Man Gui and Hou Shilu to a decisive battle with the Houjin army outside the city of Shunyi. After Haoge entered the city, he lived in the guerrilla yamen, and now, the owner of the official office has changed again.

The guerrilla general's palace is on the east side of the school field, separated by the main street, the official office sits in the north and faces south, the front yard is the council hall, which is the place of military command and office, and the back yard is the living area of the general and his family, and there is a courtyard wall in the middle.

The wall on the west side of the General's Mansion towards the school field was torn open, and the craftsmen were rushing to make a two-zhang wide lintel, which was the first task of Yang Ming's orders, and the vehicles and cannons could not be missed, so Yang Ming decided to park them in the backyard of the General's Mansion. Seeing the heavy truck dragging the cannon over, the craftsmen stopped their work one by one, and looked at these heavy weapons that did not belong to this era with amazement. Yang Ming drove the car into the courtyard through the gap in the wall, and let Ding Yousan and his people guard here, urging the craftsmen to step up the construction.

Accompanying Yang Ming with Fan Tongzhou was Shunyi County Patriarch Zhao Xuan, who was in his forties, a native of Jiaozhou, Shandong, and was raised in the forty-third year of Wanli (1615), with generous words and a bit of boldness.

"General Yang is extremely powerful, and today he won this great victory, and the students admired the whole city." Sect Zhao sighed.

"I don't want my Ming Dynasty to have a martial general like General Yang, I don't know who the general is? What is the origin of family education? ”

This is clearly to find out the details of yourself. Yang Ming smiled bitterly - where did he come from, he couldn't tell others, even if he did, others wouldn't believe it.

"Yang Moujie grass people, in the past, they learned some skills with strange fate, and at this time of national disaster, they stood up and resisted King Qin, which is the duty of the subjects of the Ming Dynasty." Yang Ming played haha, accompanied by Fan and Zhao, and toured the General's Mansion.

In the front yard of the General's Mansion, more than a dozen male servants and servants stood in a row, standing with their hands down, their eyes looking at the ground, making people feel a kind of silent meekness, these servants were the miscellaneous servants of the General's Mansion, after Haoge lived in the General's Mansion, he dismissed the old servants in the Mansion, and ordered Shunyi County to re-provide these servants, and now, they are standing here to welcome the new master.

A manservant and a servant woman led Yang Ming and his party to the hanging flower door of the inner house, Yang Ming looked up carefully, from the outside, the hanging flower gate looks like a gorgeous brick and wood structure gatehouse, and from the courtyard, the hanging flower gate looks like a square hut with a pavilion building. There are two doors inside and outside the pendulum door, the outer door is called the chessboard door, or called the side door, the door is solid and heavy; The door on the inner side is called the screen door, which is usually closed, and the side doors on both sides of the screen door are passed, or the corridors on the left and right sides of the entrance hall are taken, so that even if the outside chessboard door is opened, there is a screen door to obstruct it, and the scene of the inner house cannot be seen from the outside.

At the foot of the steps of the Hanging Flower Gate, Zhao Jiaoyu, Fan Tongzhou and the male servant all stopped, and a middle-aged servant led Yang Ming into the chessboard door, and entered the inner house through the side door next to the screen door, but saw a group of young and beautiful women standing in the courtyard, wearing red and green like a flower bush spread in the courtyard. When these women saw Yang Ming coming in, they all lowered their heads, and only a few bold women raised the corners of their eyes and looked at Yang Ming with their peripheral vision.

These women were selected from among the captives from all over the city, and they were distributed as rewards to the meritorious Houjin generals. After the recovery of Shunyi, these scattered women were gathered up and sent to the general's mansion, where they waited for the victor like trophies together with the beauties who served Haoge in the general's mansion.

Yang Ming looked at this group of women and didn't know what to do for a while. Some of these women's families are outside the city, and some may not have families, and leaving them in the mansion is also a trouble for Yang Ming. Yang Ming was thinking about it, but saw that in the verandah by the courtyard wall, Xu Xiaoniang was standing quietly with her child in her arms, looking at her with a smile on her face.

She and Wang Cheng entered the city in a Humvee and dragged behind Yang Ming's heavy truck, and after entering the city, the vehicle drove directly to the backyard of the General's Mansion and parked it.

The expression on which Xu Xiaoniang looked at herself made Yang Ming feel a little blushing, coughed, and asked Xu Xiaoniang: "What about Wang Cheng?" ”

"Wang Xiaogongzi is placed in the wing room over there." Xu Xiaoniang gestured to the location of the room with her eyes.

"Oh. Where do you live? ”

"The slave family is in the wing room over here." Xu Xiaoniang had a faint smile on her face, and her peach blossom eyes were shining.

"Well, that's good. They...... How are they settled? ”

"Let them live in the podium on the west side." A podium is a row of houses on the east or west side of the yard, usually serving as a kitchen and servants' residence. In North China, the podium in the west is better than in the east, and the podium in the east is exposed to the west in summer and directly blown by the cold wind from the northwest in winter, and the living environment is poor, and it is generally used for storage, or as a kitchen and stable.

"Just don't get in the way of the iron car." Yang Ming said.

"The iron car is parked in the courtyard behind the main house, in front of the back house, where no one usually passes." Mrs. Xu seems to be familiar with this architectural pattern.

"Okay, please take a look here, I'm going to be busy beforehand."
