Chapter 47: The Princess of the Yuan Dynasty

Most of the people who fled to Jingjiang Prefecture were rich and noble, they had plenty of money, and they could survive in any town, and then there were handicraftsmen, who were skilled and could go anywhere without worrying about food and clothing.

The most pitiful are those civilians who work long and short jobs, they have no land and technology, and often barely make ends meet, such talents are the most difficult to leave their homeland, and when they arrive in Jingjiang Mansion, I am afraid they don't even have a place to live.

The large-scale population migration in Lingshan County left a lot of ownerless land, and the fields were full of crops and vegetables.

Do the Tartars always have to eat, and they only need to pay some grain to help them farm the land, and the most important thing is that they can get land, such a good thing is naturally unthinkable in peacetime.

However, the people of the Southern Song Dynasty, who had not been baptized by war, coupled with the deliberate concealment of the government, still greatly underestimated the cruelty of the Tartars.

It was extremely easy for the Tartar army to occupy Lingshan County, but there was some resistance outside the city in the early stage, and even before the large army could be used, the front troops had already attacked Lingshan County.

This made the Tartars of the front team very happy, and before the troops in the rear arrived, they hurried to loot from house to house. But since most of the rich men fled with gold and silver, the Tartars could not grab anything, so they took out their anger on the people who were left behind.

First of all, all the old, weak, sick and disabled were killed, which was called saving food, and secondly, the rest of the people were used as slaves, and they were killed at will, and the real thing was that the people were not as good as pigs and dogs.

It doesn't matter if you don't have any possessions, isn't there still a woman, these Tartar soldiers turned their attention to the women of poor families.

When the Yuan army entered the county seat, lewd laughter could be heard everywhere.

Arjuna, the eldest princess of the Patriotic Empire, rode through the procession and frowned in disgust when she heard the incessant wailing of women.

"Bamutu! Take care of your men! Wherever I pass, no one is allowed to rob Han girls again! ”

The man on the horse beside Arjuna was none other than the commander of the army, Bamutu, the son of the Mongol general Wuhetai, who knew the art of war, knew how to advance and retreat, and was very appreciated by his father.

And recently her father had planned to make him a colt, and Arjuna was bored at the thought of this.

Although this man has some strategy, he is too cautious, and his martial arts are not as good as his own, so why should he be my concubine? The man I want in Arjuna must be an omnipotent man, like a rebellious goshawk in the sky.

"Yes, Your Highness Princess!"

Although Arjuna had a cold face along the way, Bamutu still responded with a flattering tone, and then called over to his own soldiers behind him and asked him to give orders.

Along the way south, Bamutu has fallen into the charm of the princess and can't extricate herself, although it is common for the princess of the Yuan Dynasty to fight the world on horseback with the army since she was a child, but a handsome woman like Arjuna really can't find a second one.

Her beautiful face is a little heroic, a little proud, and even more noble, and whenever Bamutu sees Arjuna, he feels like he has seen the sun rising on the grassland.

Hearing the news that the princess was going to marry him, Bamutu felt even more incredible, she was simply the embodiment of beauty and bravery, and she must be the luck brought to her by the wolf god of the steppe in the dark.

After resting in Lingshan County for the night, the Yuan army marched in the direction of Jingjiang Mansion.

Originally, the distance of more than 100 miles could be reached by the cavalry in one day, and because of the siege equipment, it would only take two days to arrive. However, Bamutu was cautious by nature, and he was afraid that the Song soldiers would be ambushed, so he stopped and stopped for two days before he only walked most of the way.

"Humph! Coward! ”

The Yuan army was camped in a clearing on the side of the road, and Arjuna glanced at Bamutu in the distance with dissatisfaction, muttering angrily.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, try this hare, I personally roasted it for you, it is browned and oily, it must be very fragrant!"

Bamutu trotted over with a string of rabbit meat on a stick and handed it to Arjuna.

Hum! A rabbit is too embarrassed to come and offer your courtesy?

Arjuna pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "The rabbit is tired of eating, I want to eat venison!" ”

Bamutu was a little embarrassed to hold the rabbit hanging in mid-air, but he was not annoyed, who made her a sparkling princess.

"Okay, Your Highness Princess, I'll take someone to deer hunting!"

"Just you? Archery isn't as good as mine! I'll go myself! Arjuna stood up, mounted her horse, and headed for the nearby forest.

Seeing that Arjuna was really going, Bamutu didn't care about being embarrassed, so he called a team of twenty cavalrymen and followed him to protect the princess.

Bamutu looked at Arjuna's back from afar, remembering the way she spoke coquettishly just now, and his heart was filled with sweetness.

Zhao Rui went out of the city lively, but everyone was more and more silent, the future was uncertain, and everyone's hearts were inevitably worried.

They didn't dare to take the avenue, so they chose some mountain roads and trails, but fortunately, there was a map given by Jingjiang Mansion, plus Sun Tie's guidance, and there were not too many detours.

From day to evening, I did not see a single tartar.

Sun Tie and Zhao Gong were a little tired, as scouts, they each took a few people to the front to investigate, and because there were no horses, they naturally lost a lot of physical strength.

The morale of the audience was a little sluggish, Zhao Rui was self-defeating, took Xiaoyi, and took a few people to catch fish in the lake not far from the map.

I don't know when I will meet the Tartar soldiers, and when the time comes, I really can't make a fire to make food, while the Tartars are still far away, everyone will have a good meal and grow a lot of strength.

Zhao Rui took a spear and took someone there.

Now the spear is a gun in the real sense, the gun barrel listened to Yue Kuan's suggestion, and has been replaced with ash wood, although this is not the best gun shaft material, but it is also the easiest tough wood to take.

Moreover, at the junction of the gun head, a strip of cloth dyed red is used as a red tassel, which can be regarded as a veritable red tassel gun.

Zhao Rui didn't know what the red tassel did, and even felt that it was not necessary, but after listening to Yue Kuan's explanation, he knew that the red tassel was used to suck blood, lest the blood be too slippery and he couldn't hold the gun.

Zhao Rui and his entourage of five soon came to the lakeside in the forest, where the water and grass were abundant, and a frog was chirping and insects were chirping, which seemed to be vibrant.

Except for Zhao Xiaoyi who stayed on the shore, the four of them all pulled up their trousers and walked into the water with guns.

There are usually no people here, there are really a lot of fish in the water, and the huge grass carp passes in front of the eyes of a few people from time to time, and they may think that the feet of a few people are some kind of white and tender insects, and for a time they have gathered a lot of big fish.

"Whoosh! Sou! ”

Several people saw the opportunity and stabbed down one after another, although they disturbed a piece of fish, but they also had their own gains.

"Look at me!"

Zhao Rui raised the head of the gun like a flaunting one, and a grass carp of seven or eight catties was pierced through, and he was desperately flicking his tail.

"Wow! Childe, you're so amazing! You can drink fish soup tonight! ”

Zhao Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands happily on the shore and laughed.

"What kind of fish soup do you drink, can't you eat enough fish?"

Zhao Rui threw the big grass carp to the shore, and stabbed it again as he spoke.

Another big fish!

It didn't take long for Kung Fu to have dozens of big fish on the shore, and Zhao Xiaoyi was not idle, washing fish in shallow water with the multi-functional saber that Zhao Rui gave her.

This saber is still found in the packaging of the camouflage uniform, it is estimated that it is a special gift from the boss, although it is the appearance of a counterfeit Swiss army knife, but when it is brought to the Southern Song Dynasty, it is definitely an artifact.

In addition to the main knife, there are scissors, taper, saws and so on, so Zhao Xiaoyi has always regarded it as a treasure and carries it with him at any time.

After being disturbed for a while, the fish in the lake seemed to know that Zhao Rui's group of people were not good, and few fish dared to step forward again.

Anyway, a few dozen fish, enough for a big meal tonight.

If you have meat, put more salt, it is easy to store after frying, and you can't open the fire when the time comes, and it is delicious with cooking cakes!

Zhao Rui thought as he looked around the shores of the lake.

"Hey, there's a deer!"

Everyone heard Zhao Rui's deliberately lowered voice, and following his line of sight, he really saw a sika deer, bowing his head to drink water, while looking at the surrounding environment vigilantly.

"You go on, I'll go over and see if I can hit it!"

Everyone knew that Zhao Rui had a musket, and it was useless for others to go, so they caught fish with peace of mind, only Zhao Xiaoyi quietly told Zhao Rui to be careful.

In order not to make a sound, Zhao Rui did not wear boots, and after going ashore, he carefully walked around.

The grass under his feet was soft and tactile, but Zhao Rui still accidentally stepped on a dead branch.

"Click!"

Although the sound was extremely slight, the sika deer still noticed it, glanced at Zhao Rui vigilantly, and jumped into the woods.

His grandma's!

Zhao Rui had already held *** in his hand, and he didn't want to return in vain, so he followed the direction and followed quietly.

Bypassing some waist-thick trees, Zhao Rui discovered the location of the sika deer.

It was gnawing on the moss from the roots of a tree.

Alright, eat deer tonight!

Zhao Rui half-hid behind the tree, put the pistol firmly on his left forearm, and was about to shoot when he held his breath.

Unexpectedly, a sharp arrow flew from nowhere.

"Whoosh!"

The sika deer was pierced through the eye and fell to the ground without a struggle.

Zhao Rui couldn't help but be shocked, this arrow method is too accurate! Could it be a tartar?

Sure enough, a cavalry team arrived on horseback.

They wore yellow silk robes, carried sheep's horn bows on their backs, and carried scimitars or maces pinned to their waists. The person at the head turned out to be a beautiful woman, which couldn't help but make Zhao Rui a little strange, how could there be a female general in Tartar?

Zhao Rui was immediately secretly frightened, he didn't expect the speed of the Tartars to be so fast, counting the distance, they would be able to arrive at Jingjiang Mansion tomorrow!

Isn't that a lack of time?

What if he comes back with a weapon, and Jingjiang Mansion has already been destroyed?

No way! They must not be allowed to attack the city! Otherwise, Lin Mengyao would be in danger!

"Her Royal Highness the princess has good archery skills, and you have opened your eyes to the little ones!"

Arjuna glanced at it, and it turned out to be a small leader who couldn't be named, so she didn't bother to bother with it, but just told them to take it back and roast it.

A Tartar soldier cut the sika deer's throat and tied it upside down on horseback, and the deer's blood dripped on the ground, so that after bloodletting, it no longer smelled fishy, and it could be cooked when it went back.
