Yang Chao did not disturb the consciousness of Nanjing, Huai'an and the court at all, so he insisted on staying in Haizhou City.

Receive those military supplies with peace of mind.

According to Yang Chao's prediction, the government allocated to various workshops, as well as the iron, lead, saltpeter and other materials that Song Lian used legal and illegal means to loot during the siege, and he could also make a thousand bird guns and five hundred pairs of iron armor for himself.

However, the grain in Haizhou City has been tight, and Wang Xiao has been secretly promised to pay three times the profit, although the Wang family vigorously mobilizes food, the efficiency is faster than Shi Kefa's government, but it still cannot fully meet the needs of Haizhou City.

After all, this is a big city of 100,000 people.

Therefore, Song Lian's policy of unified grain purchase and sales continued, but the quota was doubled, but it was only equivalent to half of the average ration in front of the station, and the people of Haizhou were still in a situation of not having enough to eat, but they were just starving to death.

So Yang Chao still has a reason to stay, so Song Lian still wants to get rid of him.

You must know that Yang Chao's military rations cannot be broken, and they have to be supplied in full, Song Lian doesn't care about Yang Chao's 500 elite soldiers, but if Yang Chao leaves, the rations of the 3,000 people who are still being trained by Yang Chao can be halved, which frees up the quota of 3,000 people a day, which will make Song Lian greatly relieved.

But Yang Chao just didn't leave, so Song Lian couldn't say anything, and besides, the captives in Shandong seemed to be still there, who dared to say that he would not go south again, if he went south again and drove Yang Chao away, who knows if he would come to support again.

Therefore, he didn't dare to drive away strongly, so he could only knock on the side every time. But it's completely useless.

After staying in Haizhou for a month, it was not until he confirmed that all the government supplies had become his own birds, iron armor and spears, that Yang Chao began to withdraw his troops from Haizhou in batches.

Of course, news also came from Shandong at this time. It is exactly shown that the captives have retreated, under the eyes of Zhou Yanru's army in Tongzhou. Carrying more than 300,000 people, millions of gold and silver treasures left in a dashing manner, except for a nail in Haizhou, it was as easy as tourism in other places.

It's not that Zhou Yanru doesn't want to fight, after Yang Chao's record in Haizhou was transmitted to Tongzhou through Beijing, he did feel moved once, after all, Yang Chao's record made people wonder if the captives had reached the end of the crossbow and were already exhausted and vulnerable. So Zhou Yanru really planned a small-scale attack, but after thousands of people went out, they lost their traces, and what they pursued was just a hundred or so stragglers wandering near Tongzhou.

This result made Zhou Yanru completely dead in his determination to fight with the captives, and hid in Tongzhou City with peace of mind, watching the captives go out of the customs, as long as the captives came out of the customs and did not threaten Beijing City, he Zhou Yanru should have a great achievement. Although there were some discordant voices in the court, many people took advantage of his absence to engage in conspiracies. This made Zhou Yanru quite unhappy, and he made up his mind that he would pinch these grasshoppers to death one by one when he went back this time.

Outside Haizhou City, the salt boats and cao boats have been waiting for a long time, and Yang Chao's soldiers boarded the ships one by one, of course, they did not board the ships alone, they were still carrying the coffins of their comrades-in-arms on their shoulders.

Five hundred people, carrying a hundred coffins.

When the soldiers carried the coffins of the martyrs on board, tens of thousands of people from up and down the city of Haizhou came to see them off.

When they learned that Yang Chao and the warriors were leaving, they really wanted to send it. Ordinary people, in fact, have a scale in their hearts. You treat him well and he will remember.

Yang Chao was also willing to let the soldiers see this kind of beloved scene. Let them enjoy the admiration of the people, which helps to cultivate their sense of honor, and sure enough, the soldiers who carried the coffins and slowly boarded the ship had solemn expressions on their faces, but they did not hide a sense of pride.

Yang Chao himself is also touched, looking at this coffin, his heart is full of emotion, these people are all alive and jumping with him from Nanjing, but now they want to send their bodies back, I really don't know how to explain to their families, but this is war, there must be people to sacrifice, there must be people to shed blood.

All Yang Chao can do is "I promise not to make your death worthless, I promise to let your name be accompanied by honor forever, I guarantee that your parents will be raised, your children will be taught, and brothers rest in peace."

In the future, in order not to let the martyrs die in vain, Yang Chao's actions, even if he risked great danger, he was unswerving, and I have to say that he was also influenced by this first batch of martyrs, because of his commitment to these people, so no matter how hard it was, he persevered.

All the soldiers got on the boat, but it was a pity that Yang Chao failed to take the 3,000 people from Huai'an, so that his officers inquired, and it turned out that the number of people who were willing to follow was not yet a hundred, and most of them chose to stay in Haizhou with a tangled mood.

To tell the truth, these people are actually full of envy for the treatment of Yang Chao's soldiers, but at the same time, after experiencing a bloody battle, they finally survived, and most of them still want to live a peaceful life, after all, there were four or five thousand people at that time, and there were only three thousand people left, so it was understandable for others to be afraid.

Of course, there are also those who resolutely want to go with Yang Chao, such as Ding Bian Er, the family of the Bian family, but Yang Chao still remembers this strong man, and thinks that he has a bad record, whether it is he breaking into the military camp and wanting to kill the prisoner (that is Bolo), or stealing the military horse and finally sending back a cart of wine, what he does makes people feel unreliable, there is a kind of chivalrous style, but there is no discipline at all.

Of course, this Bian Er later mixed into the Minzhuang team, performed well in the battle, and dared to fight with martial arts, and killed a few captives, so this time Yang Chao finally agreed to take him away.

As for the batch of military supplies that Yang Chao secretly filled his pockets in Haizhou, they had already been transported away, and now I am afraid they have all arrived in Nanjing.

Every time the grain ship of the Wang family's fleet came, in addition to pulling a large amount of salt on the return trip, it was helping Yang Chao transport military supplies.

More than 8,000 war horses were the first to be transported, and if they were not transported, it would probably not be more than 8,000, because horses starved to death every day.

The extra birds, spears, single knives, and armor were also transported away, and they were sent directly to Nanjing, like war horses, although these things could not be said to be unclear, but they were always not easy to say, so Yang Chao had to quietly send them back to the new Jiangkou camp.

So this time it was all soldiers.

But what Yang Chao didn't expect was that his soldiers had already boarded the boat and the boat had started, and at this time, those people didn't leave, not only did not leave, but slowly followed the boat forward.

This made Song Lian, who also sent him to the dock, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, because he knew in his heart that none of this was arranged by him, he just posted a notice telling the people that the Huai'an reinforcements were leaving, and the people who wanted to send them could send them, but he didn't expect that twenty or thirty thousand people would come at once, which is equivalent to more than half of the permanent population of Haizhou.

Song Lian also had to admit that even if the civil officials were leaving, the common people might not have many to see them off, and the officials who could send the people off were all able to enter the history books without exception.

A feeling of both envy and emotion spread in Song Lian's heart, he suddenly felt that it seemed that Yang Chao did not have to go in such a hurry, although Haizhou City still did not restore the previous level of food supply, but with the arrival of more and more merchants trafficking in grain, and Shi Kefa finally sent a large number of official grain, the food crisis in Haizhou has actually been lifted, and supplying Yang Chao's army is not a problem at all.

But he knew that there was no reason for Yang Chao to continue to stay in Haizhou, even the captives had withdrawn, and there was no reason for him to stay as a guest soldier who rescued Haizhou, of course, he couldn't want to stay, who didn't want to go home.

Yang Chao was quite surprised to see the actions of the people, but then he understood that the people were going to give them a ride, and this kindness was understood, and Yang Chao also deliberately made the people who pulled the fiber slower so that these people could keep up.

After walking a mile, Yang Chao felt that it was interesting enough, so he asked the soldiers to wave to the people, meaning to let them go back.

But the people still followed silently, so that Yang Chao was moved, after all, he was not wolf-hearted, and he didn't fight for them in vain.

After following for a few more miles, Yang Chao shook his hand again, but they still didn't leave.

Seeing the pride on his soldiers' faces, and enjoying the love of the people from the bottom of his heart, Yang Chao let the people follow some distance.

Of course, not everyone follows all the time, of course, there are fewer and fewer people to see them off, and when they reach Wuli, only one-third of them are left, and when they reach Bali, there are only a thousand people still sending them off.

The last person to see him off turned out to be a gray-haired old man, who stopped at the place of his approximate strength, probably tired from running, and sat on the ground.

Of course, Yang Chao thought he was sitting on the ground, but in fact, the old man was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, this old man was a big family, but this time he was all killed by the captives, and he was the only one left.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chao was born, first defeated three hundred captives outside the city, rescued many people, the old man was very happy to find his little grandson in it, so he was extremely grateful to Yang Chao's army, and this was sent ten miles!

"We have to remember the love of the people for ten miles!"

Yang Chao sighed to Huang Fengfu.

In fact, Huang Fengfu is also very emotional, the story of eating pot pulp to welcome the king's master, I just read it in the book, in reality, the common people are afraid of soldiers like tigers, and they are afraid and hateful of being soldiers, but I didn't expect that the soldiers of Lord Yang who I followed could be so loved by the people, this is what the people want.

Huang Fengfu seemed to see the shadow of Yue Jiajun back then. (To be continued).
