Chapter 450: People in Troubled Times
When Kong Haide came to the edge of the forest, Huang Degong had been pulled out with a long hook, Rao is the mechanism in this forest is abnormal, this Huang Degong is still here for a little more than half an hour, and finally if he didn't see the Great Elder leaving, he took a step blindly in a panic, and was randomly shot by bows and arrows from all sides, if not, maybe he could continue to jump here for a while. Burn? Wen Xiao? Say? ?? ???.? r?a n?en`net
"Which brother in the sect designed this mechanism in the forest?" Kong Hyde looked at the situation in the woods in amazement, and was stunned for a long time before asking.
At that moment, someone arched his hand and said, "The Qing Dragon Envoy was designed by the Holy Maiden,"
Kong Heide gasped, and a pair of slender eyes narrowed, "This saint is so talented, let her go like this, this is a loss in our sect"
Yang Guozhen, who was standing behind Kong Haide, frowned, "Big brother, you promised me"
Kong Haide glanced back at Yang Guozhen, and indeed shook his head, "Senior sister, you don't understand, this Qi Zimo is going to be decided, I don't think anything wrong with her, but this kind of talent, but it is a bit of a waste to stay by Yang Quan's side." ”
Yang Guozhen pursed her lips, she really didn't say anything, she knew this cheap senior brother, once he made up his mind, even ten cows couldn't pull it back.
Kong Haide shouted at these people in front of him, "Except for the one who chased the traitor, the rest of the people are looking for the Holy Maiden with all their might, however, everyone must be polite to the Holy Maiden, don't be rude, let's invite the Holy Maiden back, we want to develop our Holy Sect well, so everyone must respect her, okay, everyone go!" ”
With Kong Hyde's words, the faces of everyone in the audience changed, but the young people's faces were full of joy, and the old people became unnatural. The reason why these young people are happy is because Qi Zimo is the goddess in their hearts, if Qi Zimo can come back, of course they are willing, as for the others, it is because Qi Zimo represents the interests of the new sect members, if she comes back, these members of the White Lotus Sect who have stayed behind are afraid that they will have to live a hard life.
I had long expected that the White Lotus Sect would not let go of Qi Zimo's Yang Quan, and kept moving towards Qinyang in Henan, Yang Quan because he was privately deploying troops, it was inconvenient for him to show his identity, and this Qinyang was only a hundred and ten miles away from the big-bellied mountain, so close, the officers and soldiers of Qinyang did not exterminate the White Lotus Sect, although now the thieves are quite arrogant in this land of Henan, and quite a lot of cities are already under their control, but this Qinyang is on the edge, and it has not attracted Li Zicheng's attention for the time being, so now, This city is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
On the way to Yang Quan, Li Zicheng has already captured a county town, unlike other rebel armies, Li Zicheng got the advice of the new Li Yan and Niu Jinxing and others, and there are many laws and disciplines in the army. As for the old, weak, sick and disabled, with these people, it is often a burden, and the better rebel army will probably kill these people, and the more cruel people will take these people with them, and when there is no food, they will kill these people and eat them, which is called the two-legged sheep.
However, although Li Zicheng's army was relatively better than military discipline, it was still only slightly better than the robbers and bandits. Murder and fire prevention ** looting are still very common. However, under the advice of his subordinates, Li Zicheng would open a warehouse to release grain every time he captured a city, in response to his slogan "Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine pulp, open the city gate to welcome the king, and the king will not pay grain when the king comes." But in this case, Li Zicheng's army is not substantially different from those other rebels, because no matter what, what they do at this time is not to develop the locality, but to blindly plunder, they don't want to occupy land as the king, and develop production well, but every time they go to this place, they will burn and rob and kill all of this place, so that every time they go to a place, this place will immediately fall from a place where the function is barely normal to a ghost land that cannot produce no figures, and this consequence is to completely consume the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, making the Ming Dynasty more and more impoverished/
If it is said that the reason why Emperor Chongzhen lost the world, it was a series of wrong policies plus various natural disasters**, and Li Zicheng was the fundamental reason for the Ming Dynasty to completely step forward, because of their reasons, let the Ming Dynasty slowly lose its vitality, with their expansion like a locust plague, they completely destroyed the local development, so that the people who originally had a family and a job, because of the loss of property, had no choice but to follow the rebel army, and the whole team slowly became bigger and bigger.
When Yang Quan came, Li Yan's hometown Qi County had just been captured by Li Zicheng, and the old man of Xin Maonian joined Li Zicheng's team, plus Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, and became Li Zicheng's right-hand man.
Now, Yang Quan is going back, and he is bound to no longer be able to take this road. After all, most of the cities along the way have been occupied by the intruding army, and Yang Quan and their small cavalry team will definitely be targeted by various forces along the way, and I am afraid that their group will not even have a bone left.
After all, on the road from this Qinyang stretching for hundreds of miles to the north, most places were ravaged by the army, and some of the roads were only ruins and broken walls, and corpses were all over the field, even if there was barely a city that was not destroyed, let alone replenished to Yang Quan and others, I am afraid that the people in the city would rob them with hot eyes.
What is called Chidi Qianli, white bones are exposed to the wild, what is called Ning Taiping Dog is not a troubled world, at this moment Yang Quan has a deep understanding, in those remnant cities, although it is still under the protection of various rules and laws, barely operating, but where there is no one, a nest head, all kinds of women in the city, you can choose, this is not nonsense, even in a certain era in modern times, although the country is peaceful, but during the strange three-year natural disaster, people all over the country are starving, compared to those main food producing areas, our area is much better, and the idlers in the village who can't marry their daughters-in-law go to those hard-hit areas, and a corn tortilla can be exchanged for a young and beautiful wife. There was even a man who had three cakes in exchange for three wives. This is not a rumor, but a true fact, in modern times, the society has not collapsed, the law and rules are still in play, this situation still appears, not to mention in the late Ming Dynasty Henan, this piece of thieves raged, the government completely collapsed under the remnants of the city, what kind of situation, when it is really a variety of miserable situations, are not uncommon.
