The wind blew through the dust that rolled up the sky, the war ended in May and September, and looked at the surging flow of people when the troops were dispatched that day, and only the depression remained, and the five military camps killed 3,000 cavalry killed 3,000 Tuntian troops were killed and wounded more than 2,000, since then Shandong has lost more than 8,000 warriors who can fight well, more than 8,000 lifeless tablets, more than 8,000 families who have lost their relatives looked at the ranks in Ma Zhong's hands behind them, and the corpse behind them sighed: "Let me send Mi Yu on the last ride" sighed, Mi Yu also died in this battle.

For some reason, the wind in September looked at the simple coffin behind him with a kind of coolness, Xiaochuan's eyes were moist, and he couldn't help but recall in his mind that Mi Heng who usually likes to be in a daze and always wanders, and the scene when he was under the city wall at the end, covered in blood like a Shura-like figure, sighed and said: "We have suffered heavy losses in this battle, if no one forms an alliance with us, how can Zhang Xianzhong be calm?" Xiao Chuan had a helpless urge to cry, and Mrs. Chu behind him gently draped a cloak over his body, and her eyes were full of worry.

"Childe, Your Majesty responded that I am afraid that the prince and the towns in the south of the Yangtze River will not send troops, and the border army will have to guard against Houjin! No one wants to join us in attacking Zhang Xianzhong! Wang Heng on the side said, "And Zhang Xianzhong has calmed down recently, and it seems that he has the intention of surrendering again?" ”

"Surrender? How many times did he surrender? Is it possible to accept surrender again? , didn't anyone in the Ming Dynasty see his fake surrender! Xiao Chuan did not understand the Ming Dynasty's strategy of surrendering and supporting each other, and repeatedly let go of the most vicious thieves, and there were a few thieves who really surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and died in battle, but in most cases they would rebel again. The generals nearby all looked helpless, Han Gang scolded angrily, Han Tie bowed his head and was silent, and Li Yi had a different expression

"After all, if there are no thieves in the general army in various places, how can they ask for military salaries!" Wang Heng's mocking smile was also helpless to raise thieves in the Ming Dynasty from Li Chengliang to the end of the Ming Dynasty, like Gucheng If it wasn't for Xiong Wencan to stop him, Zhang Xianzhong would have been eliminated by Zuo Liangyu a long time ago, and Li Zicheng of the Great Western Army would have been even more so.

glanced at Wang Heng, unspeakably lonely, if someone was with him, he could completely eliminate Zhang Xianzhong, but Wang Heng smiled bitterly and said: "Childe, we shouldn't just think about Zhang Xianzhong, but at this moment, many people are thinking about us?" ”

"Miss us?" Xiao Chuan was a little strange and said, "You mean the prince?" Wang Heng nodded and said: "After all, the other party occupies Jiangnan, and there may be a day when he goes north in the future!" After all, the other party is integrating the forces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and even Liangguang! ”

"This?" Xiaochuan was shocked, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been very prosperous since the middle period, but the imperial court has not received any benefits from here, Zhejiang Jinhua has a tax of seven taels a year at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Yangzhou City has a random figure with a head and a face, and the net worth is a year's military expenditure of the imperial court, and the tentacles of the other party are fascinating Jiangnan to integrate this terrifying financial resources.

"Don't be afraid, even if you integrate all the craftsmen, the firearms they make are not as good as ours" Ogawa shook his head not because the craftsmen at the end were not good enough, but because it was difficult to make qualified self-fired devices without the help of milling machines, and their own firearms were inferior to them.

"But there are too many craftsmen on the other side, and they just produce bird guns, and the number of birds they make every year is also terrifying! Although there are no horse farms in the south, there is a staggering number of craftsmen and people, so even if the quality is not as good as ours, the huge number is a terrifying force! Wang Heng said, taking a deep breath, with an inexplicable feeling in his tone.

"A large number of firearms, a huge population, this time we have recovered a few places in the north of Henan, but we can increase the population," Wang Heng said, looking at the north, "But there are no craftsmen here!" ”

After a while, a man in black took an envelope, Xiao Chuan glanced at it, and said in his heart: "Your Majesty rejected our request, and we are not allowed to occupy the city in the north, but only allow us to garrison troops on the outskirts of the city!" "But this is enough for his own lieutenant to control all the villages outside the pool, and a city will become something that feeds back to the village, as long as it occupies the villages outside the city, the city will be controlled by itself in disguise.

"Congratulations to Gongzi for occupying a few more cities under his command," Wang Heng hugged his fists and smiled and touched his gray beard, and Leah on the side said strangely, "Why can't I understand!" Obviously there is no unified occupation, right? ”

"Well, although we didn't agree to occupy these places, the right to garrison troops outside the city alone is enough for us to control this place to death," Mrs. Chu said with a smile on her face.

The wind whistled and rolled up the sky with smoke and dust, the earth was dry and endlessly barren, as far as the eye could see, the yellow earth and the blue sky, gusts of wind and sand blew, on both sides were groups of disaster victims, they were wearing black rag clothes, some were still exposed strips of rags, some were bare, their upper bodies were not even clothed, their bodies had been sealed and sunburned into a dark yellow, their skin was dry and cracked, and pus flowed out, exuding a foul smell.

Their eyes were lifeless and looking towards the north, in the troubled times, human life was like mustard, several corpses appeared on both sides from time to time, the sound of buzzing flies, the corpses were already dry and their faces were distorted, their eyes were looking straight at the sky like dead fish, and the strong rancid smell made the stomach churn.

"The body must be buried, or burned! Otherwise, there will be a plague," Wang Heng on the side said worriedly, looking at the fleeing crowd in front of him, there will be a plague after the catastrophe.

"The pandemic?" When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, and their eyes became extremely serious, the plague can be said to be the most of all kinds of disasters, and if it spreads, it cannot be prevented.

"Go and burn the corpses everywhere, either dig deep and bury them, or burn them on the spot," Ogawa said, not wanting the few cities he had acquired to become dead cities.

"In addition, we must prohibit the people from going to Shandong, and let the people settle in a few places in northern Henan!" Wang Heng said, and several people looked solemn.

In the distance, the outline of a city looks huge, but it exudes a dead air without soldiers, and outside the city is full of tents, dense crowds and people waiting in line.

A team of soldiers maintained order, it was the Beifu soldiers, they were wearing iron armor and iron helmets, holding spears and bows and arrows in their hands, maintaining order next to the porridge sheds, among the refugees from time to time, there were green-skinned scoundrels bullying the old and weak women and children, randomly the Beifu soldiers walked out indifferently, and the bow and arrow in their hands shot out of the green skin is screaming and fell to the ground, he said coldly, "Those who disturb the order will not be killed!" "Only now can you see more than a dozen human heads hanging on the city wall, warning the green skin here.

A group of Beifu soldiers saw the huge flow of people outside and walked over quickly, and one of them quickly ran over, "Childe, save my general" He looked anxious.

Xiao Chuan and the others all looked strange and walked forward quickly.
