However, at this time, the commander of the Ming army was Sun Chengzong, and his prestige in the army was not ordinarily high. He can see through any tricks that the generals under his command want to play.

Under his strict supervision, the Qin Wang Army left at this time was relatively the elite of the Ming army, and some of the celebrities in history, the so-called fierce generals who were sent to suppress bandits and became famous, were still under Sun Chengzong's command at this time.

All of a sudden, Zu Dashou, Zu Dakuan, Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong and other generals attacked one after another, and with three times the force, they were finally able to withstand the attack of Jianyu, and the battle situation was once again deadlocked on the front line of Funing.

In this battle, several relatively outstanding young generals also emerged in the Ming army, such as Cao Bianjiao, Wu Sangui and others. Of course, they all have family backgrounds, and others can't covet their credit. Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether it will be able to come out.

However, on the whole, the situation of the Ming army on the Funing front was unfavorable. After all, they had no danger to defend, and they originally wanted to build a wall to come out, but half of it was destroyed by the Jianjiao, and the people were killed and injured countless times. However, Jianyu is a place where he can attack Gyeonggi and retreat to defend Shanhaiguan, so he is much more flexible.

In desperation, Sun Chengzong once again rushed to ask for help. asked the imperial court to send more people, and transferred elites from all over the country, especially pointing out the white pole army in Sichuan. The defense of this strong-willed army should have played a good role in protecting the construction of fortifications.

Emperor Chongzhen received this request for help, but he was very helpless. The White Pole Army has already turned back to Sichuan to suppress bandits, and it will definitely not be able to be transferred to Beijing for a while. And the land of Gyeonggi has been built and captured for a year, and the people who have not died or been plundered have fled long ago. Those who could not escape were also recruited beforehand. Now if we want to recruit strong people to build it, we can only mobilize it from the surrounding state capitals, and this will take time.

But it's not like there's no way. After all, a lot of imitation explosives bags were made, and they were transported to the front line, which could play a good defensive role. It is not so easy for Jianyu to easily break the camp of the Ming army and the wall built.

Seeing this, Sun Chengzong could only talk about masturbation, so he first kept the undamaged wall, and then slowly expanded it on this basis.

During this time. Ma Shilong, who was originally frail and sickly, finally couldn't withstand the pressure of the front line and died of illness on the job. As a result, Hong Chengchou officially became the first person in King Qin's army other than Sun Chengzong.

The sound of war drums and trumpets in Gyeonggi is still the same, and the hearts of the panicked people are still the same. The originally lively and prosperous Jingshi has long lost its original pomp. Even the righteous and awe-inspiring civil and military generals quietly sent their families south.

On this day, six more carriages left Jingshi and, under the light of the rising sun, embarked on the road to the south.

The last carriage compared to the five carriages in front. From the appearance, it is obvious that it is a notch lower. The accompanying team of family members also escorted five luxury carriages. On the side of the last carriage, only two young men followed on thin horses.

After walking for a while, the taller little man approached the window of the carriage and said with a little hesitation: "Master, we have paid them such a large sum of money, and we have been walking for so long, and we have not sent any family members here." What if a thief comes from behind? ”

The cloth of the window is lifted. Mao Caigui's head was exposed, he looked forward, sighed in his heart, and replied as if comforting himself: "Forget it, in Hebei and Shandong south of the Jingshi, Lu Zhongcheng has swept it. It's relatively safe, and it should be fine. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army won successive victories in the war against the thieves, which basically ensured the peace of the area south of the Jingshi. It is precisely because of this that the dignitaries and nobles of the Beijing Division can leave the Beijing Division with peace of mind. Head to the safer Gangnam area.

Hearing the old man say this, the little guy could only shut up. However, he was still a little nervous, and kept looking around, for fear that a thief would appear somewhere.

Mao Caigui felt bored staying in the carriage, so he opened the curtain and looked outside, but he was thinking about things in his heart.

I really don't know if I don't compare, but when I compare, even if it is at the feet of the dignified emperor, people are just as panicked, and they can't live a stable life at all. But in those days on the grassland, he lived at ease. Even in the days when the siege was built, I could sleep peacefully.

There is also a different atmosphere, the depression of the Beijing Division, the high-spirited on the grassland; The panic of the Jingshi, the vigor of the grassland, etc., really can't be compared!

Mao Caigui thought and sighed in his heart. I just can't stand the atmosphere of the Beijing Division, and I live too depressed, even if I am still reused by the imperial court at the moment, I finally resigned and went south, with my financial resources in the south, I can live a rich man after all.

Thinking about it, he suddenly felt that this path was different from what he remembered. In the past, there were people coming and going from the south to the north on this road, not to mention the traffic, shoulder to shoulder, but at least at a glance, there would definitely be no fewer people and fewer cars. But now, after walking for so long, I haven't seen a pedestrian or a carriage except for my own group.

Suddenly, his eyes saw something, and his expression was shocked. It was only more than ten miles away from Jingshi, and bones appeared on the side of the road, and there was more than one skeleton!

It stands to reason that Mao Caigui has been accustomed to seeing dead people for more than half a year. But now the bones on the side of the road appeared in places that he thought were impossible, so he was still shocked.

Troubled times, troubled times! Mao Caigui's face was gloomy, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

After driving a few more miles, I saw a large village on the side of the road, which was originally the closest place to stop from Jingshi, and it was a very lively place. But right now, I didn't see anyone.

The convoy was supposed to take a break here, but seeing this, two heavily armed family members left the team and went to the village to check the movement.

It didn't take long for the two men to return, muttering to the people in front of the convoy before moving on.

Mao Caigui frowned, he really couldn't think of what the situation was, so he sent a small servant to ask about the situation.

After a while, the servant returned and said to him, "Sir, there is no one in the village, not even the pots and pans. ”

After a pause, the little servant hesitated a little, and finally relayed: "They said that it should be the people of this village, in order to escape from the conscription, they all ran away." ”

Mao Caigui was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately came back to his senses. I'm afraid that this evasive conscription will be requisitioned to build a wall on the Funing side, right?
