Princes, generals, nobles, and nobles, how many people really care about the lives of ordinary people?

Perhaps, they never cared.

Those who have the knowledge and the right to speak never care.

They will only remember the glory of the sea dragon hoard, and even faintly complain in their hearts about the Ming army that quelled the rebellion back then, why didn't they keep some for future generations to refer to, that is art, it is a combination of military and art.

But who remembers the bones of the corpses under the whip of the mountain?

The lives of ordinary people seem to be just numbers, one can be added or subtracted, and the fraction can be erased at any time, and even the last one, two, three, and two zeros can be subtracted.

It is private property and private goods, which can be transferred, handled, and played.

Xiao Ruxun had ordered before the army set out on the expedition that when the situation permitted, the original appearance of the Sea Dragon Hoarding Palace Group should be preserved as much as possible, and not too much damage.

This is the only trace of their life, and it is also the trace that should not be forgotten, and even when necessary, it can be used as a warning to future generations.

Look.

He raised tall buildings, he feasted guests, he was reckless, and then he died.

Extravagant eating, drinking luxuriously, dressing fashionably, wearing elegant makeup, leading the trend, everything seems to be out of this world, and every gesture is two words.

"Noble".

The innate nobility, the nobility of superiority, the nobility of the continuation of the bloodline, the nobility that ordinary people who can't read a single word can't imagine at all.

But, so what?

He's going to die here, in this splendour.

He died on the same land as the people he had killed.

On the eighth day of the first month of the second year of Longwu, the five armies gathered in Hailongho, they swept away the remnants of the defeated generals along the way, approached step by step, got in touch with each other on the sixth day of the first month, and agreed to arrive together on the eighth day of the first month.

Qi Dayong was the first to arrive, and the location he arrived at was after the Sea Dragon Hoarding Mountain, and Liu Wei was the last to arrive.

The sea dragon hoard was surrounded by the Five Roads Army, and the water was impassable, and the generals of the various armies held a meeting in the tent of the commander Zheng Ying.

"Speaking of which, from the beginning of the battle on the 24th to today, exactly the 15th, the deadline set by His Majesty for us, we have done it."

With a confident and calm smile, Zheng Ying looked at the generals who had successfully met in the tent.

The main generals also showed smug smiles.

They really followed the emperor's requirements, defeated the Banzhou army in fifteen days, compressed them into the sea dragon hoard, and achieved an extremely brilliant victory.

"I thought it would take at least a month, right? Who knew that Yang Yinglong's gang actually scattered and sent troops to take the initiative to meet us, this is really just a time to sleep, someone sent a pillow.

What does Yang Yinglong think? Why did they send troops to attack? If this is me, I will definitely be a turtle with a shrunken head, so let's gnaw it down in one bite, why will it take a month? ”

Liu Wei laughed at Yang Yinglong very happily.

Ma Qiancheng also chimed in.

"Yes, Yang Yinglong was not an ordinary majestic man back then, from the twenty-fourth year of Wanli in the former Ming Dynasty, until now, except for a period of time in the middle because of His Majesty's Northern Expedition, fighting Sichuan and Guizhou to fight Tusi, sending troops from all directions, killing many people, indispensable, now, but there is also the end of being trapped in the sea dragon hoard, and the world is really impermanent."

Qi Dayong drank a few sips of water and smiled coldly.

"Since the beginning of the twentieth year of Wanli in the former Ming Dynasty, His Majesty said that he would kill the person, I have never seen anyone alive, he ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and against His Majesty, he built a palace privately, not to mention, but also dared to use eunuchs, making it clear that he was not a minister, and he could not be allowed in the former Ming Dynasty.

This time, he was purely looking for his own death and scattered the troops, how could he come up with a stupid trick? Now, he has learned to be obedient, trapped in the sea dragon hoarding as a shrinking turtle, and intends to defend it, but he doesn't look at how many people he has now? ”

Zheng Ying and the other generals vented their emotions and said: "What you said is right, but according to Your Majesty's requirements, in order to reduce losses as much as possible, we need to take down the Sea Dragon Hoard within half a month, everyone, this is not a simple task."

According to our information, the sea dragon hoard was built by Yang Duan, the ancestor of Yang Yinglong, in the Tang Dynasty, in order to deal with the expansion of the northern captives, it was a large construction project in the hands of Yang Yinglong, and it was overhauled at least three times before and after, with a total of 12 Xiongguan, and the roads were all dangerous places.

One of the most dangerous is the Flying Dragon Pass in front of the mountain, its pass is built in an extremely dangerous place, there are thirty-six ladders under the pass, the road is extremely narrow, only enough for two people to pass side by side, the real one man is not open, if you underestimate this sea dragon hoard, it is us who suffer hardships. ”

Zheng Ying took out the sketch of the sea dragon hoard drawn by the Black Water Secret Agent and looked at it carefully.

"Thanks to His Majesty's early preparation, sending Black Water Secret Agents into Banzhou to spy on intelligence, we can advance so smoothly, and now this sea dragon hoard is not a secret to us, and we are not blind, but this is still an extremely dangerous Xiongguan.

In that year, the Northern Captives swept the world, the Song Dynasty collapsed, only Banzhou stood tall, the Northern Captives were not able to live at that time, how arrogant, the iron cavalry everywhere except surrender is death, Rao is so, and there is no way to take Banzhou, it can be said that this place has never been breached, we are the first time, from the Tang Dynasty to the present for the first time! ”

As soon as Zheng Ying said this, the faces of the generals became serious.

"Your Majesty often says, don't underestimate any opponent, the lion fights the rabbit still needs all its strength, not to mention that we are not facing a rabbit, but a trapped beast, the battle of the trapped beast, there is no need for Ben Shuai to say more, right? Everyone, you must take it seriously, if there is a loss, the boss blames the small thing, His Majesty Long Yan is angry, remember, fifteen days, only fifteen days! ”

Zheng Ying's words made the generals' hearts sink, and An Jiangchen and Song Chengen, who had been listening in the back, were even more frightened.

It was hard for them to imagine that it had only been more than a year since the change of dynasty, but these Qin troops, which were mostly Ming troops, had undergone such a huge change.

From shirking each other's responsibilities, dragging each other's feet, and having many contradictions between each other to the current sincere cooperation, he only wants to win the battle, and even end the 724-year history of the Yang family within fifteen days.

The gap between the changes between this is not clearer than An Jiangchen and Song Chengen, who have been dealing with local officials and generals in the Ming Dynasty for many years.

Since when did these Han Chinese armies become so disciplined, purposeful, and enterprising?

On the way here, you don't loot or kill people indiscriminately, in the past, you had to kill and loot private property on a large scale to break through a city, and loot the treasures and women in the city for your own enjoyment, where did the army that was no different from bandits go?

Liu Wei is extremely fierce in war, not afraid of death, and what he did after the war is also extremely fierce, for which he is deeply criticized, when he was still in this area of Sichuan, he was impeached by civilian officials for all kinds of looting of loot and women, and lost his official position several times.

Of course, the things that those civil officials themselves did were not much better.

This time, I didn't see the Qin army captive women along the way, and after breaking through the city, they really collected and stored the spoils, and they didn't fight for it, they thought that what Qi Dayong said before the war was polite words, the kind of one thing that said one thing and did another, who would have thought that they really did what they said.

Not only that, after the meeting, the Qin army's appearance was still tight, there was not a single woman in the army, and the spoils of war were piled up, but none of the soldiers took it privately, and they all said that they would distribute the spoils after the war, which was not a lie.

Not killing, robbing and not burning, not only made the five divisions and seven surnames quite grateful, and were willing to act as pawns of the army for His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor to be born and die, but also let the Banzhou area not fall into serious turmoil because of the war, and the Qin army seemed to pay considerable attention to maintaining local tranquility, as if it were its own land.

This is the land of Great Qin, right?
