Chapter 620: The Army of the Outcasts, the King of Anxiety

Huainan Haozhou, the seed master Dao received the order, with the 50,000 homeless people who had just been recruited to set off north, Zhao Ji also looked happy on the frame, in a good mood, swept away the haze in front of his head, and waited to return to Beijing to re-ascend the treasure.

Hundreds of cavalry of the Western Army managed 50,000 homeless people to hurry, and Gai Yi was already physically and mentally exhausted. In front of the head, he just verbally reprimanded, and ordered people to line up and march in an orderly manner.

After less than half a day, he was yelling and screaming, and after two hours, Gai Yi's horsewhip was already whipped on the homeless, repeating words like queuing again and again.

When it was time to put the meal, Gai Yi and the hundreds of cavalry under his command beat these people waiting for the meal back and forth. Even so, it still can't effectively maintain order. Food snatching happens everywhere.

In the end, the butcher's knife had already been sacrificed, and even the seed master Dao had to shake his head again and again, and ordered to behead several people who took the lead in snatching.

In this way, the basic order of 50,000 people was maintained. But after these 50,000 people, there are more displaced people who accompany them, that is, the families of these enlisted displaced people.

Fortunately, there is a Zhao Ji beside the planter, and the states and counties along the line also cooperate, so he did not dare to disobey the imperial decree of the emperor, and took out a lot of grain from the treasury for relief, otherwise on this route, it would be starving.

It was also the first time for Zhao Ji to really face these homeless people, and this scene was too shocking for Zhao Ji. Originally, Zhao Ji would not believe that such a scene would occur in his Great Song Dynasty if he was killed, which was something that could not be imagined.

The emperor's good mood is gone. In the words, he shook his head again and again, and expressed to the seed master many times that he would govern the world and the people well after returning to Beijing. How to meet Huaixi to pay taxes, how to mobilize grain to help the displaced people, etc.

The seed master Dao also nodded again and again, thinking in his heart that this majesty would have gained a lot from going out of Beijing. It is the seed master Dao who has some more expectations and longing for Zhao Ji, who will re-ascend the throne, and looks forward to the greater prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty in the hands of this baptized majesty.

On the wharf in the north of Cangzhou, there are more than a dozen large ships, and the people on the wharf are constantly loading boxes one by one on the boat.

The box was not big, but it was extremely heavy, and it took six or seven people to carry the table-sized box.

On the side of the largest ship, the Ruan brothers stood beside them, frowning as they looked at the countless boxes carried up from the dock.

On both sides of the big ship, there are seven or eight large and small guns, and it is obvious that this ship is the main warship of this fleet, named "Dingyuan". The name of Dingyuan also has a great origin, but this origin is only in Zheng Zhi's heart.

The Dingyuan was the main warship of the Beiyang Naval Division in the late Qing Dynasty, and it was also one of the most advanced warships of that era. In the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, the Beiyang Naval Division was defeated by the Japanese, this battleship made outstanding achievements, and finally ran aground with serious injuries, and was ordered by Ding Ruchang to blow it up by itself.

These things are too sad, and the name of Dingyuan also comes from Zheng Zhi's mouth. Because this ship went to plunder Kyushu in Japan.

Ruan Xiaoqi watched boxes of goods being transported to the cabin, frowned and said: "So many blades, forty or fifty thousand handles, although most of them are seized and dilapidated things, they are really given to these party members, and His Royal Highness King Yan is not afraid that these party members will be difficult to control after they have so many blades." ”

Ruan Xiaowu also nodded when he heard this: "Yes, in the future, on this ship, as long as the party members get on the ship, they must hand over their blades first, and they must be strictly guarded, so as not to cause a big disaster." ”

Ruan Xiaoer was also worried, and continued: "It is also a good strategy to let 50,000 party members land in Goryeo to fight, but how to control these party members in the future, I think His Royal Highness King Yan also has a plan in his heart, I don't need to worry about it, but the management on the ship must be strict." Party members must not be allowed to bring their troops aboard the ship. As long as we have this big ship in our hands, the party members will not dare to have any dissenting intentions. ”

Ruan Xiaoer obviously thought more, and transported the party items to Goryeo, as long as the party women's and children were still in Tamluo, it would be relatively easy to control.

Even if the party members captured a few broken ships in Goryeo, it would not have been possible.

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi nodded when they heard this, frowned and looked around, staring at the place where they got on the boat for a long time, just thinking about how to transform some places where the side of the ship was put on the ship, and install some fences and the like to prevent changes.

Ruan Xiaoer spoke again: "Hurry up and think of a way, King Yan has a letter from before, let me wait to write a detailed ship management method and submit it to the past for approval." This is not a trivial matter, and if it is not done well, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe. After much discussion, we must be prepared to prevent the party members from causing chaos. ”

The three of them began to discuss countermeasures on the side of the ship, renovating the ship's side, transforming the cabin, how to collect the blades, how to distribute the blades...

More than sixty miles south of the Daimyo's Mansion, columns of iron armor sat on horseback and staggered south. Most of these ironclad soldiers can only ride on horses, and there is still a gap between them and fighting on horseback.

In front of the head was already the county seat of the Amway Military Mansion, and one by one the knights got off their horses, and then walked the whole team.

The Yingyang City Gate has been closed, but there are still countless people going out to the South City Gate, and the big bags and small bags cannot escape.

Ruda led his soldiers around the city, checking the city's situation. When I arrived outside the southern city, I saw countless people fleeing in all directions.

The soldiers under the city gate quickly stepped forward to close the city gate, and those who still wanted to leave the city at this time were frightened by the original cavalry not far away and walked into the city.

The gates were closed just in time. The Song army along the Daimyo's Mansion was much more agile than Qingzhou. It is also the Daimyo's Mansion, and this route is the main road in the north, and there are many pedestrians coming and going.

The cavalry couldn't gallop quickly, so they couldn't stop receiving the news in Yingyang City first.

Ruda didn't have the heart to fight for the city gate, and when he came back after a week, the soldiers were already lined up.

When Deruda returned, and counted the numbers, he disbanded, set up camp, and cut down trees and built ladders.

But the camp is only halfway through, and the gate of Yingyang City has already been opened.

Even Luda didn't expect that this Yingyang City would open by itself, and several old soldiers came out of the city.

Luda hit his horse and went forward to the front, several old soldiers knelt on the ground, and heard one of them speak: "The villain is the head of the forbidden army in Yingyang City, and he is willing to serve His Royal Highness King Yan!" I don't know if it's General Huaihua in person? ”

Hearing this, Luda smiled and said: "It's Luda, you're old like this, so you don't need to work anymore, go home and farm." When a variety of grains come out and the land is handed over in accordance with the regulations, it is effective. ”

When the old man heard this, his nervous mood relaxed, and he also heard that the bloody man in front of him was ruthless, so how could he not worry in his heart. But when I heard Ruda's laughter, my worries disappeared. opened his mouth and said: "The villain is willing to farm and pay grain for His Royal Highness King Yan, I heard that His Royal Highness King Yan will divide the land equally, I don't know if he is qualified to receive the field if he is as guilty as the villain?" ”

This old man is the Yingyang Forbidden Army, which is also the enemy, and the King of Yan is the enemy, and he thinks he is guilty. Yingyang is not far from the Daimyo's Mansion, and he also knows that the land under the jurisdiction of King Yan will be divided equally, so he is afraid that he is not qualified to share it.

"Haha... Don't worry, Lao'er, you don't have any sins, but you have contributed to the city, and you should share more. After Luda finished smiling, he asked again, "What about the officials in the city?" ”

"Returning to the general, the head of the county and the like, have already fled south, and many of the petty officials have also fled, so the villain can open this city gate. Thank you for the benevolence of the general and don't correct the past. "The old man bowed.

"Lead the way!" Luda didn't bother to gossip, but he looked disdainful, and only asked the old man to lead the way into the city, so he also went to find the yamen treasury and the like.

The urgent performance reported to Tokyo, the government and the opposition cursed non-stop, Zheng Zhi's ambition was undisguised, and while swearing, people were also panicked.

Zhao Huan was even more restless, and after going down, several henchmen went to the study again.

"Where has the Planter gone? If he doesn't come back, I'll go south. Zhao Huan couldn't wait, that is, the words of going south were all said, the Daimyo's Mansion and Tokyo were really not far away, that is, the cavalry went south, four hundred miles, I was afraid that the troops would be able to come to the city in two or three days.

Zheng Zhi was in the grassland in front of him, and when he was safe, Zhao Huan didn't have much to worry about. Now that Zheng Zhi has made a move, Zhao Huan deeply feels that this Bianliang City is really unsafe.

Hearing this, Li Bangyan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must wait until the Seed Master Dao comes back, and only when the Seed Master Dao comes back can you make plans again." ”

Li Bangyan has something to say, the return of the master is only one of them, what he really has to wait for is Zhao Ji, only when Zhao Ji is controlled, Zhao Huan can think about anything else. Otherwise, if Zhao Huan also went south out of Beijing at this time, it would really be a mess.

The authority of Li Bangyan's body is all on Zhao Huan, how can he not wait for Zhao Ji to return to Beijing?

Zhao Huan also understood, and said with an anxious face: "Hurry up, hurry up, urge the seed master to hurry up." ”

Only when the seed master returns to Beijing, two things can be solved, not only can the seed master go north to block the thief, and Zhao Ji can return to the palace. The Seed Master Dao seemed to have become extremely important at this time.

Geng Nanzhong replied when he heard this: "Your Majesty, before entering the palace, the minister had already sent a fast horse to urge him to go south, and the letter from the Xianggong yesterday said that he had arrived in Caizhou (Runan), and it would not be far away, and he would definitely enter Beijing within two or three days." ”

Zhao Huan heard Geng Nanzhong's words, but he was still not at ease, and said again: "Send fast horses again, and then urge." ”

Geng Nanzhong had already explained in his words that he had just shot a fast horse, and there was obviously no need to send someone south. At this time, he heard Zhao Huan's words, but he didn't dare to be disobedient, and replied: "Yes, the minister will go and send the fast horse to the south again." ”

After Geng Nanzhong finished speaking, he had already saluted and turned back, and he went to the fast horse to urge again. Send it once half an hour ago, and again half an hour later. It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor Zhao Huan is anxious in his heart.
