The first wind and rain drifted away

Between the foothills of the stretching mountains, a deep green is mixed with withered yellow, among the undulating mountains, large and small camps hunt with flags, and several fast horses gallop on the mountain road, entering and exiting the camps.

Here, it is the camp of the old Hui Hui Ma Shouying.

Halfway up the mountain, you can overlook the entire Nanyang Mansion.

In the cold wind, the old Hui Ma Shouying wore a little white hat, and stared at Nanyang City below his sight with his hands on his waist, leaving a coveted saliva.

In this Nanyang city, there are as many as 100,000 Ming people, with abundant grain and grass and a large amount of wealth, if you can take it, you can feast.

Looking at this Nanyang Mansion, which had been surrounded by himself, the old man returned to Ma Shouying with too much emotion and indescribable happiness in his heart.

It's not easy!

In the eight years since he started his army, he has led his people to wander through the northwestern provinces, and his footprints have almost traveled all over half of the Ming Dynasty, but he has always been a small fight.

Although many Ming people were killed and a lot of property was robbed in the middle, it was always difficult to shake the Ming Dynasty.

It pained him.

But since he joined forces with King Gao Yingxiang to enter Henan, he has ushered in a moment of infinite beauty.

According to the arrangement of Gao Yingxiang, the old Hui tribe merged with the scorpion block and went south from Ruxiang through Lushi County, intending to invade the entire Nanyang Mansion and involve the Ming army.

After the merger of the two divisions, there were a total of 90,000 soldiers and horses, all the way to the township of Kenei, Zhenping County, and he defeated his old opponent Zuo Liangyu.

Unexpectedly, just as he was full of ambition to take advantage of the defeat of the Ming army to conquer Nanyang Mansion, he was opposed by the scorpion block.

The opinion of the scorpion block is that King Gao Chuang said that this division of troops will eventually be to reunite the troops in Chuzhou in order to march to the more prosperous Nanzhili.

In this way, an abundant supply of grain and grass was obtained, laying the foundation for the seizure of the Ming Dynasty. Instead of being in this continuous war, Henan has been entrenched for a long time.

Furthermore, the Scorpion Block believed that Nanyang Fucheng was the strongest stronghold of the Ming army in central Henan.

Although the Ming army in the city is small, if the city is defended, if it is attacked, it may be difficult to conquer it immediately. I am afraid that if the relocation is delayed for a long time, I will lose a lot of troops, and in this way, the gains will outweigh the losses.

What is even more worrying is that if the reinforcements of the Ming army arrive at the time of the siege, they will fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy.

According to the opinion of the scorpion block, in the case that the Ming army in the middle has been defeated, it should take advantage of the inability of the Ming army to pursue and counterattack, and immediately go south to join forces with the troops of King Gao Yingxiang as soon as possible.

Striving to capture Chuzhou as soon as possible, and then seizing Nanzhili, is the most important thing.

I have to say that the scorpion block is very reasonable, although I am unwilling, but I also agree.

It's just that the plan didn't change quickly, and just as they were about to evacuate Nanyang Mansion, Zhang Miaoshou and Guo Tianxing were defeated by King Lu Yan and ran to meet them.

Suddenly, their strength reached 110,000.

This makes the old Huihui's heart come alive again.

Can you make a time difference?

According to the information he received, King Lu Yan's Tianxiong Army, which was dealing with more than 40,000 captives after the defeat of Zhang Miaoshou and Guo Tianxing, should not have arrived so quickly.

In his opinion, this is an opportunity.

The guards of this city are extremely weak. With such a piece of fat in front of you, is there any reason not to seize the opportunity to attack it and eat it?

Lao Hui secretly said in his heart, and after today, early tomorrow morning, he will start to attack the city with all his might.

He was convinced that as long as his strong troops attacked the city, the Ming army defending the city would be defeated immediately.

At that time, I was afraid that I would capture Nanyang City and loot it and leave, and those Ming troops who came to help could only shake their heads and sigh behind their buttocks.

Thinking of the wonderful, the corners of Ma Shouying's mouth were revealed.

The sun was slanting in the west, and in the red sunset, there were human figures walking north and south, old men in ragged clothes sobbing and dragging children, and then falling to the ground.

Women and young men carry everything they can use at home, or push carts to crowd the fleeing crowd.

The sound of children crying, the shouting of adults, the sounds of domestic animals, all kinds of voices come together under this sky.

To the west of Nanyang Mansion and to Huaiqing Mansion, many people from large and small villages have temporarily left their homeland with their families, and such scenes often indicate that a major war is coming.

In the field of vision, the mountains are full of human figures, and noisy voices buzz in the ears.

The crying woman broke free from her husband's arm and wanted to go home with her crying child, but was slapped a few times by the man before she stopped.

An old woman with gray hair and ragged clothes was helped to sit tremblingly under a tree, looking at her relatives who were walking away with cloudy eyes, her thin and weak legs moved, and she could no longer stand up......

"Let's go, there's already a fight in the back, if you don't leave, it will affect us!"

"Daddy...... Mother......" The helpless child's panicked voice shouted.

"I'm not leaving, let them kill me—"

……

The cold wind howled over the mountains, the noisy sound became intermittent, the clouds in the east shrouded it, and a large number of people in the two directions of Nanyang Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion began to leave their homes.

Or go to the city to beg for relatives, or go to the city to beg, and then return to their ruined homes after the soldiers have passed, and continue to live as before, perhaps some of them will never return to their hometowns.

However, since the beginning of the war, their ancestors have also come and gone back to continue to multiply.

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer!

Suddenly, there was a clanging of gongs and drums in the distance, and hundreds of officers and soldiers shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, all go to Huaiqing Mansion, the imperial court has disaster relief." ”

The shouts were heard over and over again, and the eyes of a large number of people lit up with hope, and they struggled with their last strength to walk towards the nearby officers and soldiers.

"My lord, is it true?"

"It's true, Lord Lu, the governor of Xuanda, has finished clearing out the rogues in Huaiqing Mansion, and he will soon go south to pursue the remaining rogues.

Everyone took refuge in Huaiqing Mansion for a few days before returning to their hometowns.

Alternatively, you can also go to Tongguan, where the governor of the three sides, Lord Hong, is about to develop the Hetao Plain, and the imperial court will provide half a year's worth of grain and tools for reclamation, as well as cattle and grain cultivation. ”

A tall and stocky general with a black beard under his chin, standing in the middle of the refugees covered in armor, said loudly.

This person is the first fierce general He Renlong under the butcher Hong Chengchou, known as He Maniac.

Soon, the news that the imperial court was going to provide disaster relief and reclamation spread, but some people did not believe it.

Since the collapse of the entire society of the Ming Dynasty, the army is like a demon for ordinary people.

After all, not every army is Qi Shaobao's Qi family army, let alone the rabbit army of later generations.

"Folks, there is still some surplus food here, so I will make a bowl of porridge for everyone to drink for the time being, and only after drinking will I have the strength to hurry."

He Renlong saw that many people didn't even have the strength to walk, and thinking of Hong Chengchou's order, he immediately arranged for the officers and soldiers below to start boiling porridge on the side of the road.

An army that gives porridge to the people?

How long has it been since Da Ming has seen it.

But as the officers and soldiers took up their positions, soon everyone flocked to them.

The rebels don't care about the lives of ordinary people, they will only take the last grain of food. Even if these Ming troops have other things, they are still better than starving to death now.

Some of the old people were still lying under the trees, and He Renlong had to arrange for soldiers to carry the hungry people together.

Suddenly, there was quite a sense of military and civilian fish and water in it.

Of course, this is all Emperor Chongzhen's confession.

He decided to arrange the practice of the rabbit army in later generations intentionally or unintentionally, although He Renlong was not a Jingying, but it did not prevent Emperor Chongzhen's order from being carried out.

Holding the porridge in their hands, many people began to cry silently, kneeling down to the Ming army.

The Chinese people have always been kind, and they are not willing to rebel even if there is a glimmer of vitality?

They are even more reluctant to rob others of their last food, and they will be grateful for the kindness of a porridge and a meal.

Looking at the situation in front of him, He Renlong also sighed with emotion, Lao He has been a soldier for so many years, when was it not that the people were afraid of tigers, when did he ever have such a situation?

ps: Thank you for the book friends from the front to the end ing, seven_i6, the beginning of the heart is elegant, the king of Qidian Zhongwen, and the blue ice god for rewarding, and I am grateful for my kindness!
