Chapter 114: Old Things 2

Zhang Xuan asked, "Was he alone in the mountains at that time?" ”

"Yes." In Nannan's voice, there is a sweet feeling that makes Zhang Xuan's long-lost girl. "At that time, he was alone in the mountains, in the company of wild beasts. I met wolves in the mountains, and when I thought I was going to die, he saved me. ”

Zhang Xuan's heart was gloomy for a while.

What is this place?

It is Henan, which can be said to be one of the earliest civilized places on this land. but they have made herds of wild beasts sparsely populated. For a while, Zhang Xuan didn't have the heart to speak.

He turned his head and said to the child, "You don't have a name, I'll give you a name, just call it Wang Lang, and in the future you will have a child with Nannan, and you will inherit the incense of Wang Du." ”

"There is absolutely no way I can make a loyal minister cut off the incense."

It's just that this child's eyes have a hazy innocence, and he doesn't seem to know what Zhang Xuan said.

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly, and said secretly in his heart: "What will I say to him." Zhang Xuan knew that he couldn't stay here all the time, and it was not appropriate for Wang Lang to go to Nanjing.

At least, it's not too late for him to go to Nanjing as a normal person.

Zhang Xuan said to Jackie Chan: "Yu Jackie Chan." ”

Yu Chenglong said: "The minister is here." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "I will find you a disciple and teach him well, no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a concubine of this dynasty." It can't be too unseemly. ”

Yu Chengchan immediately said: "Yes." ”

Yu Chenglong looked at this new disciple, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, he was born and died for Daxia, so he mixed up a prefect, and this prefect was almost empty.

After all, there used to be Runing Mansion, but now there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people, which is less than one county in the south of the Yangtze River.

But this child, just by virtue of a woman, is on the rise. The future is limitless.

However, Yu Chenglong also knew which was more important, and quickly suppressed this little jealousy. Because he knows that this student may be of great help to him in the future.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Let me walk alone." ”

Nan Nan seemed to have the courage to suddenly ask, "Uncle, can I ask you a question?" ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Ask." ”

Nan Nan asked, "Uncle, can we not fight?" ”

This simple question stopped Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Don't you want to avenge your parents?" ”

Nan Nan lowered her head and said, "I don't want to die anymore." ”

Zhang Xuan wanted to say yes.

However, the eastern captives are still on the grassland, there are still more than 100,000 cavalry, coupled with the special terrain on the grassland, it can be said that it is a strong enemy.

If you say you don't fight, you won't fight.

Seeing this, Zheng Lian immediately took Nannan down. It can be regarded as relieving Zhang Xuan.

Although Zhang Xuan said let him walk alone. But this is for the guard, where can Zhang Xuan really go alone. This point has long been tightly encircled.

Zhang Xuan slowly paced between the familiar and unfamiliar buildings, thinking back to the eventful years in Runing, and for a moment he definitely seemed to be old.

After Nan Nan and Wang Lang went down.

Wang Lang suddenly said word by word to Nannan: "You, don't worry, your hatred is my hatred." I will avenge you. ”

Wang Lang was not born and raised by wild beasts, and he didn't know what kind of tragic story he had experienced, so he lived with wolves in the mountains. It's not that he doesn't speak, it's just that he's not used to human hypocrisy, but he has a beastly intuition, an intuition about good and evil and good and evil.

Nan Nan smiled slightly and said, "I know." ”

Nan Nan protected Wang Lang in the mountains and forests, and hunted for her to eat. Even the wolves obeyed Wang Lang's command and hunted down wild beasts, tigers and other fierce beasts.

I have long regarded Wang Lang as a lifelong partner in my heart.

It's just that she really doesn't know what Wang Lang will do in the future at the moment.

More than twenty years later, the New Emperor went on a Northern Expedition. As one of the cavalry generals, Wang Lang traveled thousands of miles across the desert, and the blood flowed everywhere he passed.

Called the Blood Wolf by the Mongols.

and killed Shunzhi in Mobei, killed Kangxi in the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and killed the Aixin Jueluo family. He has guarded the Western Regions for more than 20 years. Feng Tianshan Hou.

The only regret is when he really became famous in the world. Zhang Xuan was already lying in the tomb. Together with his Zhaowu years, he walked into the dust of history.

It seems to be the last question of Nannan, which gave Zhang Xuan great stimulation.

Zhang Xuan originally wanted to go to Nanyang, and then go to Xiangyang to take a boat down the river. It's just that he changed his mind, and he was going to go to Fengyang, then to Yangzhou, and then to Nanjing.

First, let's see where he fought, and second, let's see how the flood caused by Hong Chengchou is recovering.

If it is said that Zhang Xuan's suicide note before only made Zhang Xuan's mind shake a little. So Nannan's sentence made Zhang Xuan even more shaken.

In fact, he took the initiative to go to Lianghuai, which in itself is a tendency.

Zhang Xuan waited in Runing for a few days, naturally there were people from Nanyang, and after solving the food gap in Runing, Zhang Xuan took 3,000 guards and went south to Guide, and then turned to Fengyang.

Along the way, there are no people in Henan.

Even if a few people came out and saw the cavalry, they were all alarmed like wild beasts and fled one after another. In the county seat I have passed, thousands of people are considered to be a lot.

In some counties, there is no one at all. It's empty, like a ghost.

In the capital city, there may be court officials, but in ordinary small counties, there are no court officials at all. They are all ruled by several large families.

Since the great drought in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen. The ground in Henan was in turmoil first, although it was quickly docked, but in the Qing and Xia countries

Between the confrontations, these docks could not withstand the pressure from both sides.

Either to the south or to the north. It has aggravated the situation that Henan, especially in eastern and central Henan, has been uninhabited for thousands of miles.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Xuan attacked from western Henan during the Northern Expedition.

Because of the area in eastern Henan, I am afraid that there are not enough people to recruit and transport.

When he entered the Fengyang area, Zhang Xuan saw that the crowds were denser. It's just that the situation is not very good, not because of anything else, but because of the Huai River.

Before the Huai River, it was accumulated in Hongze Lake, and as long as it was in the rainy season, it would level the ground with three feet of water. The fields were flooded, not to mention the harvest.

There is a high possibility that the blistered land will become silt and saline.

You can't plant it.

It's not that Fengyang came out of Emperor Zhu, and there are nine years of famine in ten years. It's the canal.

For the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal together with the north and south, in order to ensure that there is enough water source, the canal and the Yellow River are linked, which distorts the canal system of the nature of water, and brings great harm to the boundary between the two Huai.

This kind of injury, in the canal for a day, is impossible to avoid.

As long as the imperial court is set in Beijing, the people of Lianghuai will be a group of people who must be sacrificed.

Now it's terrifying.

When they came to Hongze Lake.

Zhang Xuan couldn't control himself, but he saw that the water of the Yellow River and the Huai River flowed into Hongze Lake, and then broke through the embankment ten zhang high, which was better than the Beijing city wall, and flowed south.

The Yellow River not only captured the Huai, but he also captured the river.

The local magistrate did not dare to let Zhang Xuan go up the embankment.

But Zhang Xuan still climbed the embankment.

Standing at the gap, looking at the north side of the **, the south side is also a piece of **, this half-broken embankment, as if a hand is deep into the Tongtian River.

Zhang Xuan took a few steps forward, but saw a lot of masonry falling from the embankment and plunging into the turbid lake, disappearing in an instant.

The guards beside Zhang Xuan also didn't care about being rude, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Xuan back.

Zhang Xuan also felt a little frightened in his heart.

Even though Zhang Xuan has also been on the battlefield and fought with people, how can the power of one person be compared to the power of this mighty world.

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and said to the people around him: "Tell me, how to treat this water." ”

After Hong Chengchou excavated Hongze Lake, although Zhang Xuan's attention had been on the Northern Expedition, it was not that he did not pay any attention to it.

He also sent men to control the waters.

The one sent is also a capable man. Zhang Jiayu.

As the general system of Zhang Jiayu and Huai, the governor of Jiangbei, and the squire of the Ministry of Industry, he led the military and political affairs of Jiangbei. Directly responsible for water control.

Although now, Zhang Jiayu has no effect, Zhang Xuan can also understand it.

After all, the manpower and material resources of the imperial court have been invested in the Northern Expedition, and Zhang Jiayu is a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice.
