Facing the rising sun of dawn, Shi Lei and other Ming army generals stood at the head of the still dilapidated Xiningwei city, looking down at the black and oppressive human heads under the city, this is a cruel but strange scenery, if it is those who have not been on the battlefield, when they see the mountain of human heads in front of them, I am afraid that even if they are not scared to death, I am afraid that the second half of their lives will live in a nightmare for the rest of their lives.

But in this case, for Shi Lei and others at the head of the city, although it is the first time to see, there is nothing unsuitable, and even many belligerent generals, their hearts are faintly full of some happiness, you know, the endless heads of the city are all the heads of the Turpan soldiers, under the brutal massacre of the Ming army last night, all the Turpan soldiers were killed, and all the intact heads were all concentrated by the Ming army, this is not that the Ming army has any perverted hobbies, But these heads in Turpan are of great use to Shi Lei.

"My lord, it has been checked, and there are more than 42,000 intact human heads." Just when Shi Lei and the others were enjoying this cruel scenery, Tong Chenfu on the side took the data that had just been counted and reported to Shi Lei.

"Okay, yes, although we have paid a huge price this time, the harvest is also very huge, the annihilation of the enemy's 50,000 elite army, which is probably a deterrent for the entire northwest country connected to us, and more importantly, they also sent us so many gifts, and ordered Lord Zhou Dabao to transport the heads of these Turpan people to the border, especially those countries that we are eyeing closely, to build a Jingguan every two thousand heads, and build one every two miles, This official wants everyone to see what the fate of those who dare to come and attack our Huaxia will be. After listening to Tong Chenfu's report, Shi Lei said with a cruel smile on his face.

Although Shi Lei's words were in a low tone, all the soldiers of the Ming army around him couldn't help but feel a burst of blood surging in their hearts, how many years, the Ming court only knew how to blindly tolerate and treat these barbarian states preferentially, but in exchange for not living in peace, but plundering again and again, how many kind people's homes are broken and falling apart, but for this situation, the emperors and generals above the court, except for the occasional army to fight because of face problems, More often than not, it is just a matter of sending an envoy to reprimand the other party.

This kind of behavior of raising tigers finally caused a big trouble in the end, the rapid rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is the evil result of the Ming Dynasty, more importantly, because of this weak behavior of foreign enemies, resulting in the Ming Dynasty finally lost the hearts of the people, and then, Li Zicheng's roar, broke the Ming Dynasty's broken ship, if it were not for Shi Lei's sudden rise, I am afraid that now the world has fallen into the hands of the Manchu Tartars, when countless ancestors of the warriors, throwing their heads and spilling blood in exchange for the Han world, This is how it will fall back into the hands of the alien Tartars, and this is probably something that no one could have imagined.

And today, they finally saw once again what is called the Han people's bones, today's feat of Shi Lei, I am afraid that it can be comparable to Huo Quai's expulsion of the Huns, Ban Dingyuan's pacification of the Western Regions, thinking that they can live in this era of infinite scenery, and can follow Shi Lei, such a majestic and strategic figure to gallop the world, everyone can no longer help but shout excitedly.

As Shi Lei and others thought, when the Jingguan made of more than 40,000 heads stood on the border, all the surrounding countries were instantly provoked by this news, and all the surrounding countries did not expect that the Chinese Imperial Court, which once seemed so weak and easy to bully, and was stupid and infinite, would actually do this kind of thing that seemed very bloody and terrifying to people like them. After all, the more than 50,000 elite Turpan soldiers are already a very huge force in their eyes.

But even if this powerful force, in the face of the Ming army, was still annihilated, and the head was made into a Jingguan, how dare these people casually mess around, and even many careerists who originally wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in China to go to China for some benefits, also died down, and actively sent people to Xi'an, trying to make friends with the Ming court, so as to exchange for the safety of their own country and tribe.

At the same time, the names of Shi Lei and the Ming army also spread with this battle, and at the same time, because of their bloody methods, Shi Lei was called the Demon King, and the Ming Army under his command was also called the Demon Army, and even this rumor spread to the West with the herdsmen's wandering, so that many people could not help but tremble in advance of the Demon King and the Demon Army

When Shi Lei won the victory in the northwest, so that the prestige spread all over the world, on the land of China, the smoke became more and more intense, especially in the south, with the two major forces in the north of the Manchu court and the Shaanxi Ming court directly contained each other, the northern land actually rarely appeared in the peaceful and prosperous situation, whether it was Shandong, Zhili and other places controlled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty or Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places controlled by the Ming court in Shaanxi, there was a happy situation everywhere, the reason for this situation, Of course, the biggest reason is the subsidence of the war.

Since ancient times, the people of China are the most endurance and resilience of the people, no matter how heavy the blow, as long as they are given a piece of paradise, they can develop quickly, in addition to the reason for the subsidence of the war, there is also a reason is that the Xiaoice period is gradually gone, with the slow recovery of the weather, many places, especially in the north, food production is also rapidly increasing, another reason is that because of so many years of war, the originally high population, has become scarce, More importantly, the war led to the gradual abandonment of the landowners who originally controlled most of the country's land for various reasons, and in this case, many landless peasants regained their own land, and the combination of these reasons led to the peaceful life in the north.

But the north is too peaceful, but the south has become more troubled, because of the abundant grain and products in the south, so that all forces regard the south as another place to expand their power, especially the Manchu court, because of the defeat of the north, so that they are very urgent for the south, in this case, the entire south can be regarded as shrouded in smoke.

In the city of Changsha Mansion, He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, has long lost the demeanor of a party at this time, but instead of being full of anxiety and sorrow, it is no wonder that he is so, you know, since he served as the governor of Huguang, he has not had a good day at all, as early as the Chongzhen court, in order to deal with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others who are running around, no one can sleep steadily, can not eat, and later, the world has changed dramatically, and the original rogues actually entered Beijing City in a blink of an eye, But soon he was driven out by a group of Tartars, and the Dashun army, which originally had millions of troops, disappeared at once.

Of course, He Tengjiao didn't care much about these, after all, those things were too far away from him, but after that, his good days seemed to have come, first got rid of Zuo Liangyu's shackles on him, and at the same time used his prestige to lay down a piece of his own territory in the south of Huguang, and Zuo Liangyu, who was originally the biggest threat to himself, also returned to the west, leaving a yellow-haired boy, and there was no threat to himself.

Originally, this kind of life made He Tengjiao very satisfied, He Tengjiao also knew that he was not the kind of hero, as long as he could control the current small half of the lake, and then wait until the general situation of the world was clear, so as to defect to a Ming master, and leave a rich future for himself and future generations, which is why when both the Hongguang court in Shaanxi and the Yongli court in Nanjing sent people to lobby him, he was perfunctory****** I don't report any hope, after all, even the original Ming Dynasty is over, and now the two ****** can do anything.

But what happened next, but He Tengjiao dared to regret it, Nanjing's Yongli court was indeed unsuccessful, and it was annihilated by the Manchu court in a short period of time, what surprised him was the Hongguang court in Shaanxi, he never thought that it was such a court that looked like a grass hall team, and it was like a god help, and it developed rapidly in a short period of time, and more importantly, the Manchu court, which originally looked extremely powerful, was actually pressed and beaten by them, The Manchu Eight Banners Army, which once made the Ming Dynasty's million-strong army helpless, was actually not the opponent of a group of rabble that had just been formed.

Although he regretted it in his heart, He Tengjiao was not worried, after all, although he actually did not obey the management of the Shaanxi court, he was still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty in name, so even if the Shaanxi Hongguang court could re-dominate the world in the end, then he would at least get a knighthood at that time, which was also the practice of the imperial court, but what he didn't expect was that the accident would come so quickly.

Just when he was thinking about how to reconnect with the Shaanxi court, the Manchu army in the south of the Yangtze River was completely pacified, and it would actually come towards him, you know, in He Tengjiao's original heart, the Manchu army would not come to attack him even if it wanted to expand its power, and if it wanted to attack, it would first attack Zuo Mengeng, but the reality was so cruel, originally He Tengjiao was not a general in the army, and he didn't know anything about fighting, and more importantly, most of the soldiers under him were recruited refugees, or the original Ming army, The real combat effectiveness is also the team formed by those local heroes, but it is precisely because of this that there are not many of these people, most of them are the number of dozens or hundreds of people, in the face of hundreds of thousands of Manchu Qing troops, they can only wait for death, and it is precisely because of this, He Tengjiao, who originally controlled the territory of the five state capitals in the south of Huguang, now there is no place to live except for this Changsha Mansion, the reason why this is so is not because of He Tengjiao's defeat, but because of the so-called scholars in various places.

The scholars in these places are strong and have great appeal in the local area, so when they saw Azig's Manchu army coming with murderous spirit, they abandoned He Tengjiao at the first time, and thus chose to surrender to the Manchu army, which is also the reason why He Tengjiao failed so quickly.

Just when He Tengjiao was very anxious, he heard a heavy footsteps coming from a distance, and immediately, He Tengjiao saw a general walk in from outside.

"Wave the flag, tell me quickly, what is going on outside now, will the Manchu army break through the city and come in." He Tengjiao asked anxiously at the general.

If someone is there, you can be very surprised to see that the general wearing the armor of the Ming army is Hao Shaoqi, who went to attack Yulin City under Li Zicheng back then, Hao Shaoqi at that time fled alone after the failure of the attack on Yulin City, but everyone did not expect that he actually fled from Shaanxi to this Huguang land in one breath, and more importantly, he also changed from a liukou to a general of the Ming army, and the trust of He Tengjiao is deep, which has to be said to be a miracle.

"My lord, the last general has checked all the city defenses, there is no problem with the city defense now, and the soldiers who defend the city are all warriors trained by the last general himself, whether it is combat effectiveness or loyalty, you can rest assured, therefore, adults don't have to worry about the city defense." Hearing He Tengjiao's question, Hao Shaoqi spoke.

"Okay, okay, that's good, wave the flag, this city defense official will be handed over to you, you must do a good job, and the official's net worth and life will all be handed over to you." He Tengjiao finally said with a sigh of relief.

Hearing He Tengjiao's words, Hao Shaoqi said, "Please rest assured, the last general's life was saved by the adult, and it is the duty of the last general to protect the adult, and the last general will definitely go all out, but, my lord, although there is no problem with the city defense now, it can also resist the attack of the Manchu army, but you also know that this long-term defense will be lost, even if we can hold on for a while, but in the end, if there is no accident, this Changsha Mansion will still be broken by the Manchu Dynasty, therefore, we still have to think of a way, Let's see if we can find a way to make the Manchu army take the initiative to retreat, or ask for reinforcements all the way, only in this way can we ensure the safety of the adults following Changsha Mansion? ”

As soon as Hao Shaoqi's words were finished, He Tengjiao said with a wry smile, "Shake the flag, do you think this official doesn't want to, this official even dreams about it, but the two things you said just now are basically impossible things to do, not to mention that since the Manchu army has come to attack us, then they will definitely not retreat easily, and the matter of asking for help, it is even more foggy, even if someone wants to come to help this official, but they don't have that ability, the whole world, except for the Shaanxi court, There is no one who can save us from the Manchu army anymore, so we still have to get by, and we can live one more day, maybe there will be changes in waiting. ”
