In a burst of roosters and dogs, accompanied by the rising sun that wants to erupt from the east, Yangzhou City slowly woke up from its slumber.

Yesterday evening, I heard that the Tartars had retreated, and today the people in the city got up early, and they all wanted to know where the Tartars had retreated, and whether the siege of Yangzhou had been lifted.

Aunt Liu from the bun shop on Dongmen Front Street also got up early today and dragged the man out of bed early. Just because the Qing soldiers besieged the city, this steamed bun shop has not opened for many days, and it is not good to sit and eat empty mountains like this. Today the Tartar has left, no matter whether it goes far or not, at least there will be no more siege in the next two days, Aunt Liu took the man to prepare to make buns, and ran to the front to open the door of the shop.

When I opened the door, I saw that the rice shop opposite had also opened its door, and it was obviously ready to open.

"Mr. Zhang, now the price of rice has risen again, right? This tartar has created evil, and it has caused us ordinary people to be unable to live. Aunt Liu greeted the bookkeeper who walked out of the rice shop and was stretching lazily.

"Alas, why don't you increase the price, this rice has risen to two taels and five dollars of silver. Fortunately, God bless us Daming, and sent a few angels to beat away the Tartars, if the Tartars break the city, our people may not know what to do? Mr. Zhang, the bookkeeper, sighed.

"What else? Could it be that the Tartars can kill all the people in our city? The little boss who walked out of the teahouse next to him took over the topic and said.

"What else? You say it lightly! The day before yesterday, the Tartar prince Duoduo had already issued an order to slaughter the city, saying that the city was broken and the sword would not be sealed for seven days, if this city was broken, I don't think everyone would survive! Several soldiers of the loyal battalion who had just come down from the city wall heard the conversation and said.

"Is that really the case?" Mr. Zhang, the bookkeeper, was a little unconvinced.

"There are thousands of Qing soldiers in the west of the city who surrendered yesterday, you can just ask them, and they will deceive you!" The soldier said with certainty.

"Amitabha! Thank God for sending a few angels to save our Yangzhou! When Aunt Liu heard this, she clasped her hands together, and felt that this was not sincere enough, so she walked to the front of the street, knelt down in the direction of the west gate, and kowtowed a few times seriously.

When Mr. Zhang, the bookkeeper, and the little owner of the teahouse heard this, they also hurriedly bowed in the direction of the West Gate, and everyone knew that several angels entered the city from the West Gate.

Similar scenes were staged everywhere in Yangzhou City, and soon everyone knew that the original Tartars were going to slaughter the city when they broke the city, and it was a few angels from heaven who saved everyone.

Luo Jian, who was tired for a day, had a good night's sleep, and the biological clock formed by his long-term military life made him wake up on time at six o'clock, get up, put on his clothes and walk out of the door, only to feel that the air was so fresh, and smoke was already floating on the roofs of many people in the city.

In the courtyard, Steward Luo had already gotten up, commanding a few servants to clean the yard, seeing that Luo Jian had gotten up, he hurriedly came over to say goodbye, Luo Jian waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to be like this.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Luo Jian moved his waist, felt that his body was moving, and he took a posture and beat the first and second sets of military body boxing. This military body boxing is a product of the ** era, more for exercise, but the effect of killing the enemy is not strong.

Wang Zecheng looked at the two sets of boxing played by Luo Jian from a distance, shook his head, and felt that Brother Luo's two sets of boxing skills were not practical, and there were too many showmanship.

Luo Jian finished his activity and slowly stomped outside the gate, but the scene he saw outside the door surprised him.

Outside the gate one after another, people came over, all walked to the door and kowtowed a few heads to the inside and got up to leave, and many people carried baskets in their hands, loaded with some Yangzhou souvenirs to the guards at the door, and then also kowtowed a few heads in front of the door and left.

Luo Jian hurriedly walked outside the door, hugged his fists towards the villagers and said: "Folks, how can Luo Jian and the others dare to let the villagers love so much, everyone must not be like this, Luo Jian can't afford it!" ”

Seeing Luo Jian walk out of the door, the people who had originally kowtowed to leave walked back, and a large group had gathered in front of the door. An old man in a robe walked out of the crowd, bowed to Luo Jian and said, "Several angels have saved the people of Yangzhou Hecheng, we have nothing to repay, please accept the angels and wait for me!" As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Luo Jian, and a group of hulala knelt down behind him.

Luo Jian was at a loss, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the old man from the ground, and beckoned Wang Zecheng and a group of guards to quickly help the villagers up. There was some complaint in his heart about how Shi Kefa and the others leaked the news and made it so troublesome now, but he didn't know that the Qing soldiers who entered the city yesterday had spread the news that Duoduo had given the order to slaughter the city.

Looking at these simple people in front of him, Luo Jian only felt heavy in his heart, and felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.

Finally persuaded the people in front of the door to leave, Luo Jian returned to the courtyard, saw that Xiao Liu and the others hadn't gotten up yet, and didn't urge, after washing, he hugged his laptop and sat in the courtyard to read a book.

As soon as he looked at it for a while, he heard bursts of cheers from the direction of the West Gate, and felt strange, so he hurriedly asked Wang Zecheng to go out to inquire.

After a while, Wang Zecheng ran back panting, and happily said to Luo Jian: "Brother Luo, great, the Tartars have already withdrawn, and some scouts have reported that the Qing soldiers have set up a large camp and retreated in the direction of Tianchang County." ”

When Luo Jian heard this, this was expected, the people could cheer, and Luo Jian felt that he couldn't. Qing soldier Chen Bing Tianchang County, only more than 40 kilometers away from Yangzhou, Bing Feng can point to Yangzhou at any time, which makes Luo Jian unable to relax no matter what.

Let Steward Luo call Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang up, the two young men were tired for a day yesterday, and they also slept very soundly, Xiao Wang was still a little stunned when he got up, Luo Jian asked him if he had a nightmare last night, Xiao Wang thought for a long time and said that he didn't.

Liu Lan's little girl was frightened a lot yesterday, so she was asked to sleep well, and beckoned Steward Luo to keep her breakfast and wait for her to wake up naturally.

Liu Lan didn't sleep lazy, the sudden sound of firecrackers in the city woke her up, thinking that she was fighting again, she sat up from the bed, listened carefully, it seemed to be the sound of firecrackers, shook her head, and reacted that she had arrived in the Ming Dynasty, and she couldn't sleep anymore, so she quickly got up.

There was a little maid waiting outside the door, and when she got up, she hurriedly came over to serve her and dress, which made her very unaccustomed to it, and waved her hand to the side, and she put on her clothes by dividing her clothes by two, and ran out of the door in a few steps.

Seeing that Luo Jian and the others were already in the courtyard, he hurriedly asked what happened and why firecrackers were set off outside. Luo Jian smiled and told her that the Qing soldiers outside the city had retreated, the siege of Yangzhou had been lifted, and the people were setting off firecrackers to celebrate, so she was relieved.

At the dinner table, Luo Jian told Xiao Liu to talk to dozens of guards in the courtyard one by one, try to find reliable people to prepare for the distribution of rifles, and asked Xiao Wang to organize these guards to organize some basic training according to the methods of later generations, and try the methods of later generations to work here.

Seeing that Luo Jian had explained everything to Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang, Liu Lan was anxious and hurriedly asked, "What am I doing?" ”

"You, just hurry up and prepare for class, it is estimated that your disciples will come over today." Luo Jian said with a smile, this little girl has nothing to do, she has to be busy, and save a day of looking for trouble.

"There are a lot of empty houses in our courtyard, let Steward Luo quickly clean it up, these disciples of yours must be militarized, and after studying, let Xiao Wang organize them to train." Luo Jian thought for a while and added, in extraordinary times, education must also use extraordinary means.

"Brother Luo, you have arranged everything for us, so what are you doing?" Liu Lan saw that everything was wrong, and Luo Jian didn't arrange for him, so he was a little unconvinced.

"I'm going to go to the superintendent after dinner, arrange the reorganization of the army in the city, and the people outside the city resume production, there are many things, why don't we change them, you go to Inspector Shi, and I will take classes at home?" Luo Jian teased.

Liu Lan stuck out her tongue, "I can't do your business, I'll still be my husband, when the time comes, my disciples will be all over the world, see if Brother Luo dares to look down on me!" ”
