Chapter 136: Old Di is sick
Not to be outdone, mosquitoes landed on the heads and necks of these people, sucking blood as they saw stitches.
"Ah~"
The screams were incessant, and those cross-toed soldiers could kill hundreds of mosquitoes with a slap in the face, and even so, the mosquitoes rushed up one after another.
After a while, none of the Cochin soldiers were able to run in the swamp, and almost all of them were buried in the mud.
Some of them even reached their necks, and they were about to cover their mouths and noses, and they suffocated to death.
Everyone on Zhao Rui's side walked from the ambush point to the main road, and the figure in front of them turned their backs to them, which was very weird.
With the screams, Arjuna was firing "suddenly", and her shooting accuracy had improved greatly, and she basically hit the back of the head of the Cochin man, one shot at a time, and there was no missing shot.
"Alright, what are you doing!"
Zhao Rui stepped forward and raised the head of her spear high.
"Oh, I just watched them in too much pain." Arjuna said as a matter of course.
Zhao Rui was silent for a while, Arjuna is like this, with a compassionate heart under her strong appearance.
"Alright...... We're running out of ammunition. ”
Under Zhao Rui's soft comfort, Arjuna couldn't bear to take back the gun, but she didn't want to see those heads with their backs to them anymore.
A full 80,000 people, and on the premise that Zhao Rui did not lose a single soldier, all of them were annihilated, although those swamps were alive for the time being, but in the end, they could not escape death, even if they did not sink to the bottom, they would be eaten by fierce beasts if they lost their ability to move.
In addition to annihilating the enemy, the spoils of war this time were also extremely rich, and the long row of carts behind them was piled up with countless rice, and after counting, nearly 1 million catties were estimated to be their rations for six or seven days.
Everyone pushed the cart, cleaned the battlefield, picked up the weapons dropped by the Jiaozhi people and pushed them away.
This million catties of grain is enough for the people on Zhao Rui's side to eat for a while. Zhao Rui also felt a little pleasure of plundering in the war for the first time, and this was only for the whole army. If you go to the rich Red River Delta region, maybe the food of any city is beyond Zhao Rui's imagination.
No wonder the Yuan army was so keen on aggression, compared to the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi is nothing. The countless grains, treasures, and women in the south of the Yangtze River are simply the greatest temptation of the Mongols.
They have plundered and enjoyed for hundreds of years. Such genes have been deeply engraved in their bones, which is why the Yuan Dynasty will be such a short-lived dynasty in the future, because they only care about their own pleasure and do not use their money for construction and production.
If the Red River Plain is really captured in the future, Zhao Rui vows to build it into the most advanced agricultural base in the ancient world, and when the time comes, all agricultural vehicles will be bought, and no longer rely on inefficient labor such as manpower.
In the future, once Zhao Rui has a stable base, then cultivating technical talents is a more important task.
The soldiers cleaned up and threw their corpses into the swamp, where they eventually became part of the swamp, after being eaten by the beasts, of course.
Hearing that the army was far away, a man jumped out of a hollow on the edge of the swamp, and without the slightest pause, he ran in the direction of the city.
"I'm back! It's the young master who is back! ”
Zhao Xiaoyi was not at ease, he had been wandering on the city wall, and now he saw the return of Zhao Rui's army, and he brought a lot of carts, knowing that he must have won a big victory.
Since the Lin family lived in Song Fengyi's mansion, Zhao Rui was like the management of chores handed over to the three Lin family. Originally, the old housekeeper was still thinking about continuing to take on the management matter, but it was Zhao Rui who let him enjoy Qingfu, after all, he should rest after being busy for most of his life.
But what he didn't expect was that the old housekeeper was an idle person, and he went to farm again, as if he was still an expert, giving Song Fengyi advice and opinions all day long.
Song Fengyi couldn't bear to be bothered, and vaguely mentioned it to Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui went to the old housekeeper, looking at his now black, thin and wrinkled old face, Zhao Rui's eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears.
Hurry up and ask him to go back to manage the family business.
Unexpectedly, the old housekeeper confessed that he still likes farming, and he used to think about returning to Lingshan County to farm, but now he can't go back, so he has to plant in Yongping Village.
Personal preference, Zhao Rui has no choice, even if the old housekeeper is an elder in his heart, so Zhao Rui can only let him be happy, and Song Fengyi has to bear all kinds of suggestions from the old housekeeper.
Zhao Xiaoyi was originally equivalent to assisting the old housekeeper, and at the same time managing the affairs of the Jingzhong Society, and now all the people of the Jingzhong Society have been incorporated into the army, so Zhao Xiaoyi followed Zhao Rui to live in the prince's mansion.
While Xiao Yi takes care of Zhao Rui's daily life, she also takes care of clerical work and errands. Zhao Rui didn't expect that she, a Uyghur, would write so beautifully.
At the same time, as a woman beside Zhao Rui, there is no need to say anything about others, even Zhao Gong, who is Zhao Rui's right-hand man, usually has to talk to Zhao Xiaoyi respectfully.
Now Zhao Rui has no marriage match, but Xiao Yi will become a princess or something in the future, and she must not have run away. And Zhao Rui is equivalent to the soil emperor of this place, if he really has any ideas in the future, then Xiaoyi's future is simply limitless!
In the palace of the Chen Dynasty, the angry roar of the Emperor Chen Jiong almost knocked over the roof.
There was a general kneeling in front of him, and he didn't dare to raise his head, waiting for the emperor to finish venting his anger.
The general, who had survived the 80,000 men, rushed back to report to the Emperor how terrible the muskets were.
Especially their leader, the man named Zhao Rui, holding two huge muskets, shooting wildly, that is simply a killing god!
Emperor Chen Xuan looked at the jasper crumbs on the ground with a blank face, it used to be a gift when the country of Bagan in the west came to visit, and it was his father's favorite jade wrench, but just now he was taken off by his father and fell to the ground, and he stomped it to pieces like crazy.
Father had never been so angry, Chen Xuan was a little worried about his body, so he wanted to say a few words.
But as soon as he raised his head, he made contact with Chen Jiong's gaze, but it provoked a burst of angry scolding!
"Look at what! Do you mean to say that you reminded me? Tell you, if I live for a day, you don't want to your tail to the sky! ”
"Father Wang...... I ......," Chen Xuan was waiting to explain.
"Shut your mouth, I don't want to hear you right now!"
Hate is hate, but after all, the emperor is his own son, and he will rely on him to continue the country in the future, so Chen Jiong sprinkled all his anger on the generals in front of him.
"And you! It's called Nguyen or something! Why are you the only one left when everyone else is dead? ”
The team general raised his head in a hurry, not knowing how to answer this question, is it wrong to run for his life and come back to report the news?
"Humph! What are you panicking about! said, did you collude with the person surnamed Zhao a long time ago and report the news in advance? Otherwise, how could our Jiaozhi army lose so badly! ”
This big hat is not light, and the team general is so scared that he kowtows again and again.
"The Emperor, wronged! The villain was pushed into the ravine by the explosion, and it took him a long time to regain consciousness! The villain has been living in Thang Long City, how can he collude with the enemy! ”
"Humph! Quibble! ”
Chen Jiong didn't listen at all, and now he wanted to kill someone, as long as it wasn't his son, anyone could do it.
"Someone! This team will send a message to the enemy and drag him out and behead him! No, it's all over the place! ”
"Yes!" At that moment, the two sturdy guards came up, and they couldn't help but say something, and dragged the team out.
"Wronged...... The Emperor spares his life...... Wronged ......"
Chen Xuan slowly closed his eyes, such uncontrollable things can't be bothered by it, the best way is to forget it immediately, this is also the most familiar skill that Chen Xuan has used to accompany his father for many years.
Chen Jiong saw his son's strange appearance, and asked unhappily: "What, emperor, do you have any objections?" ”
"No, Father, the possibility you are talking about does exist!"
Chen Xuan opened his eyes, very good, he really forgot about it.
This battle directly knocked Jiaozhi out of temper, and they had no choice but to watch the city of Langzhou being occupied except for several cities east of Thang Long to strengthen their defenses.
At this time, a large number of troops were sent to the front line to fight against the Angkor Dynasty, and even a small part of the troops were sent to the junction of the city.
Previously, Champa had always been the target of Jiaozhi's bullying, but after it became friendly with the Angkor Dynasty, it also sent troops to disturb it.
There was no good news from the military report he received all day, and Chen Jiong's mood became more and more irritable day by day.
Although Zhao Rui's side won, but at the moment when he was facing a shortage of green and yellow, Zhao Rui still overestimated the grain reserves.
But he never expected that the people's food would be about the same as that of the soldiers.
In this era, there is no oil and water, and they all rely on white rice to satisfy their hunger, and often a woman can eat more than one and a half catties of rice in a day, this is not what a rice bucket is!
To go back to collect copper and a lot of food, Zhao Rui looked at the field, thinking carefully about what needed to be prepared.
Fortunately, it is a patch of rice fields, which makes Zhao Rui seem to be in a relatively comfortable mood, as long as he survives this period, he can arrange some population-related policies when the harvest comes.
Don't look at the large number of people now, Zhao Rui really doesn't dare to recruit soldiers, there are more young and strong people, and there is really a possibility that Zhao Rui will be poor.
After arranging everything, Zhao Rui drove the carriage to the palace.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Zhao Rui jumped into the car, closed the door and opened the door, and returned to modern times.
Cabin No. 1 was pitch black, there was no sound of engines, only a slight shaking, and it was clear that this was the state of the freighter docked on the shore.
Zhao Rui gently unlocked the door and opened the hatch, but there was no one on the boat. Looking at this, the freighter is docked at the dock of the island city.
Zhao Rui's mobile phone is ringing, which should be the reason why cabin No. 1 has the effect of shielding signals.
When I picked up my mobile phone, the first thing I saw was more than a dozen missed calls, which were from Chang Jialiang of the shipping company.
What's the urgency?
Zhao Rui dialed the number back and put it to his ear.
"Oh my God, Zhao Rui, you finally called back, I thought you went to an alien planet, and your phone has been unreachable."
"Well, Brother Chang, what's so urgent?"
"Old Di is sick and hospitalized in the central hospital, come and take a look!"
