Chapter 998: Go to Dagu in person
readx; In July, the heat faded away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn both sides of the official road from Jingshi to Tianjin Wei, the wheat sown in the 'spring' season has matured, and the golden 'waves' of wheat 'waves' ripple with the breeze, just as it is time to harvest.
But now no one cares about harvesting the crops. Due to the occupation of Jizhou by the Later Jin Army, the east barrage of the mountain customs, the south of the Tianjin Guard, to the west of the Beijing Division, within a radius of hundreds of miles, up to the dignitaries, down to the peddlers and pawns, all people are panicked.
Listen to the people who escaped from Jizhou, the Tartars will kill every person, rob things when they see them, and burn them all after killing and robbing them all. Fortunately, there is a purpose to let the officials and soldiers abandon Jizhou and mobilize the people to flee, so that they can save their lives. In the past, the imperial court would have ordered the local officials and soldiers to defend the city, and the common people would not have been able to escape from the city. When the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs.
In the past, although the Ming army was defeated again and again in Liaodong, and countless teachers were lost, the emperor was far away, and the people in the pass did not feel the pain of the 'female' real people. Now that the Tartars have really killed, and they are extremely ferocious, who is not afraid? Therefore, all those who have relatives and friends in Baoding, Hejian Province and even further south will drag their families and flee to the south; There is really nowhere to go, and they have also flocked to Baoding and Hejian, in short, the farther away from Tartar, the better.
Therefore, the official road was also crowded into a pot of porridge, mule carts and donkey carts were one after another, children cried and adults screamed, and 'chickens' and dogs jumped, living a scene of the end of the world. Some wealthy and wealthy families are usually commanding, but at this time they are panicking like lost dogs. The official road was crowded and difficult to walk, and in normal times, they would have let the family members whip the people who stood in the way away; But at this time, everyone is running for their lives, who cares who? These people can't help but cry bitterly, and then think about the property that they can't take away and have to abandon at home, and they regret it even more, secretly saying what is the use of saving so much silver, and it's not a waste when the Tartar comes!
Suddenly, the dust rose from the direction of the Beijing Division, and a group of light cavalry of about several thousand people galloped towards it. But the official road has been blocked into a pimple, and even the official army cannot pass.
If in previous years, the generals who led the troops gave an order earlier, drove the people off the road, and even led the army to rush over. But a young general who was running at the forefront of this army frowned, and said to the general who followed closely behind, with a strong figure and sitting on a horse like an iron tower: "Hao Yongzhong, order the troops to immediately avoid the official road and bypass the farmland on both sides!" In addition, leave a few people behind to maintain order on the official road. It's so 'messy' here! ”
The general took the order and left. In an instant, the cavalry brigade split into two, got off the official road, and swept over from the edge of the fields on both sides like two violent winds, so frightened that the people on the official road fell to the ground one after another, and only dared to get up after a while.
However, a few cavalrymen shouted from far to near, and said in a loud voice: "General Hao will order: The official road must be kept unblocked, so that the people can pass as soon as possible." If there is a blockage of the road, you can deal with it on the spot! ”
With that, a few people came to the two mule carts blocked in the middle of the official road, and shouted: "Whose car is this?" ”
The two squire-looking men hurriedly stepped forward and bowed their hands, smiling at the horsemen, and immediately accusing each other of stealing the road, which caused the two cars to collide and break the wheels. Of course, the car could not go without wheels, and both cars carried a lot of valuable belongings, so there were endless disputes.
Several cavalrymen were impatient to hear this, and shouted: "When is it, still care about these things outside your body!" If you don't want to die, it's just blocking the official road and delaying the escape of the people, will the Tartars kill the two of you when they come? ”
As he spoke, he jumped off the horse, put his arms against the car and exerted force at the same time, and pushed the two cars off the official road! The road was immediately restored to clearing, and the flow of people, which had been blocked for a long time, began to flow southward again. The items in the car were scattered all over the ground, but except for the two guys who wanted money and didn't want to die, the others were not even interested in looking at it!
When the hustle and bustle behind her gradually faded away, a young 'girl' of an alien race with brown curly hair rode a tall snow-white horse, struggled to catch up with the young general, and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect your horse to look so thin and weak, and to run a long way faster than my horse!" Fortunately, I am slightly better than His Majesty's riding skills, so I can catch up with you. ”
It turned out that the young general in military uniform was Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty; The cavalry he led was the 'elite' of the 3,000 battalions under Hao Yongzhong, all of whom were the old foundations of the Qin soldiers. And the open-mouthed exotic young 'girl' beside him is Princess Anna, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Portugal to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youzhen was anxious at this time, how could he be in the mood to laugh with Anna. However, in front of the ambassador of a country, he didn't want to lose the bearing of the great tomorrow, so he had to smile reluctantly: "This jujube red horse is a typical 'Mongolian' ancient horse. Compared to the princess's Andalusian horse, it is small and explosive, and if you fight me in close quarters, I will definitely suffer. However, there are some shorts and some longs, and the 'Meng' Guma has excellent endurance, and can go without eating or drinking for several days in the severe cold, and at the same time travel more than 200 miles a day. If it had been a long march, the princess would have lost to me. ”
Anna just said that Zhu Youzhen's riding skills were not as good as her, but it was actually deliberate. I don't know why, she just wants to see what Zhu Youzhen looks like when she gets angry. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen was not angry, Anna's eyes rolled and said deliberately: "Anna has another question: I heard that the enemy of your country is coming, and it is very close to the Jingshi. As a monarch, you should either personally lead the army to meet the enemy at this time, or sit in the command of the Beijing Division, why do you have to go to Dagu in person? ”
These words were quite ironic, Zhu Youzhen couldn't distinguish the priorities, and Qiu Lina, who was also riding a horse at this time, couldn't help but glare at Anna reproachfully. Before Zhu Youzhen could open his mouth, Hao Yongzhong also caught up from behind and said, "Holy Lord, the official road has been dredged." It is only a few dozen miles away from Jizhou, and the general will have to go to the front to reconnoiter first. ”
Zhu Youzhen nodded, and Hao Yongzhong immediately led dozens of cavalry from the reconnaissance battalion to rush away.
Zhu Youzhen turned to Anna at this time, but said with a slight smile: "There is a military book in China called "The Art of War", which has such a sentence: Fiction is real, and reality is fiction. That's all I can say, princess, please taste for yourself. ”
Although Anna has been working hard to learn Chinese in the past few months, she is still far from being able to read classical Chinese. Zhu Youzhen's answer, of course, made her very dissatisfied; But no matter what she asked, Zhu Youzhen was silent, so angry that she couldn't help but pout, which made Qiu Lina on the side laugh.
Zhu Youzhen didn't laugh. Of course, he did this, with unspeakable suffering!
