Chapter 20: The Destruction of Yuanzhou City (2)
"What to do? Afraid of what? "With some drunken and hazy eyes, the official waved his hand" The official told you that the reason why the official dared to bring his family was that it was very inconvenient for the two places to live separately, and the other was that the official built a huge project in the backyard of the house a few days ago. ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Taishou is wise, didn't Lord Taishou receive a reward from the emperor a few days ago, saying that we are too meritorious to defend the city"
"Yes, I also gave the official a large amount of gold and silver, and the official used it to dig the underground castle, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything! With this underground castle, even if the official works here for a lifetime, he is not afraid! , come on, come on, you can go in and hide with the official! ”
The whole city has hidden, some of them have already moved away, and the remaining civilian merchants have persevered because they don't want to be homeless, so they are also their own land and their own home, hiding and hiding, not fighting with them, and life can still go on.
Everyone thought that the bandits would be the same as before, come to grab such a wave and leave, so when Donghu's bumper wood knocked open the city gate, they were not afraid to tremble, because of the painful lesson last time, they didn't dare to get up and resist, they just prayed, and quickly snatched it away, just fine.
When the gate was knocked open, the former officer looked at the silent street, turned around and bowed to Master Hu, who said indifferently, "This Yuanzhou, we have been here countless times, where is there anything good to take, take a long-term view!" Fence it up, burn it with fire, and give the brothers a strong morale! ”
Historical records: In the 135th year of the Dajin calendar, the city of Yuanzhou was broken, and the fire burned from April 16 to April 26, a full ten days, by the Donghu Iron Riding Handle each city gate, 61,352 people in the city of Yuanzhou, no life was returned!
When the news reached the Golden City, it was the spring banquet of His Majesty the eldest grandson, in the pavilion, Princess Qinghe and His Majesty the eldest grandson were drinking and talking, enjoying the good scenery of this spring day, and even the urgent folds were not handed over, and the scouts of the wind and dust knelt in front of the eyes of the eldest grandson Liancheng, which was also thanks to the system formulated by Emperor Taizu who came from the country on horseback at the beginning of the founding of the country, and when the military situation was urgent, the scouts could directly meet the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the city of Yuanzhou was broken, the fire burned for ten days, and the number of registered people in the city was 61,352 people, and none of them survived! Donghu Tie rode 20,000 horses and was heading north. ”
The good spring dream, once thundered, the eldest grandson Liancheng still has some imperial prestige, the wine glass in his hand fell steadily and asked, "Yuanzhou Taishou, where is Zhang Qi?" ”
"Your Majesty, Zhang Qi and his two hundred and seventy-five relatives were also burned to death in Yuanzhou City, and no one survived!"
Mu Jincheng listened to this battle report, from the beginning of Donghu's entry and robbery, and Dajin did not react, she knew that this would be a move by the eldest grandson Liancheng, but she never expected that 60,000 people would die in the fire! These are all living people, all of them are fate!
The wine glass in his hand was trembling, how hateful he should be! "Eldest grandson Liancheng!" You dare to take the people of a city as waste, and this Donghu Iron Rider goes all the way north, how many lives will be sacrificed! You bet on half of this big gold and gamble on the throne with the lives of the people of the world! What is the difference between you and Tang Jianyuan of Shenmu!
"Wolf smoke! Get the map! The eldest grandson Liancheng ignored Mu Jincheng, stood up and shouted to the eunuchs outside the court.
When the eunuchs hurriedly took the map, the eldest grandson Liancheng pointed to the Taicang Mansion in the north of Yuanzhou and said, "Tune General Ning to fly to Taicang Mansion and tell him that the widow has defended it, and the follow-up army will come, and the widow wants 20,000 Donghu Iron Cavalry and there is no return!" ”
"Yes" The scout took the imperial order and left in a hurry, everyone knocked on the door, and the eldest grandson Liancheng didn't have much to do with this idle princess, chatting about what kind of wind and snow, and said solemnly, "Princess Qinghe, I can't accompany you, please do it yourself." With that, he turned around and strode away.
This Dajin is not something he can say alone, there is a Taishang Emperor in the small kitchen, and I don't know if I received the news, when the people rushed to the small kitchen, the Taishang Emperor had already left, there was no way, I asked someone to lead the horse, and ran all the way to the palace, kneeling outside the dormitory, "Father, Donghu 20,000 iron horsemen are coming, Yuanzhou City is broken, and more than 60,000 people in the city have no life!" ”
"Oh, I see," the Emperor replied indifferently because he didn't know what was going on in the house.
"Father, the son ordered General Changning to defend Taicang Mansion, and we will send additional troops and horses in the future, what do you think?"
"Alright, alright, go ahead of yourself!" The Emperor Taishang in the house replied impatiently, "What's the reason to panic if you die in a battle, our big golden soldiers are strong and strong, you can do it yourself, but don't lose the demeanor of our royal family." ”
"It's the retainer who takes the order!"
It is easy to do things only with the permission of the Emperor, and there are so many people in this lengthy organization who only obey the orders of the Emperor.
Mu Jincheng also hurried back to the palace, and as soon as he got off the carriage, a cloud-piercing arrow came from the upper right and shot directly at the wooden pillar of the carriage, and the arrow was nailed with inexplicable pieces of cloth.
"Princess!"
"No problem!" Mu Jincheng waved his hand and looked at the direction where the arrow was flying, and Qi Feng and Qi Yu hurriedly chased after him.
Qi Lu pulled out the end of the sword, opened the cloth strip, and the big characters came into view: "Dajin has changed, leave quickly!" ”
"Princess, look"
Mu Jincheng glanced at the strip of cloth in Qi Lu's hand, ignored it, and walked straight to the palace.
"Princess, do you see if it's a message from our Changyang Mountain, telling us to go back!" Qi Lu held a strip of cloth behind him and said unrelentingly.
"You mean, we have no one in Changyang Mountain? The Lord needs to bring us back in such an unseemly way? ”
"Slaves don't mean that!"
The storm has come, and I never thought that this world would start with Dajin, but how innocent those 60,000 people were! If the palace doesn't leave, don't say such a warning to hide your head and show your tail, even if Changyang Mountain makes a will, the palace won't leave.
As soon as they entered the house, Qi Feng and Qi Yu came to report, "Princess, the people who came are so powerful, the slaves and maids can't catch up, and they don't even see the ......."
"Don't get in the way" Mu Jincheng said indifferently, I had expected this to be the result, since people dared to come, they must be completely prepared, how could you easily see it.
"Then princess, what should we do now" After all, she was still a fledgling, and it was the first time she heard such a tragic war incident, and the four maids were still inexplicably nervous.
