Chapter 39 First Strike

"Doesn't Your Majesty have any chance of winning?"

"Xingsheng, you need to know that the victory or defeat of the soldier never comes from between the tongues, how can you see the real chapter without fighting? I would like to curse Jianyu to death with one sentence, but is this realistic? ”

Chongzhen helped Sun Xuanhuai up, and then comforted: "I tell you the truth, this battle is by no means without a chance of winning, but the premise is that the whole team is united, and the purpose of letting the people out of the city today is to eliminate hidden dangers in the future." ”

"The minister is not familiar with military affairs, and he rushed into His Majesty in a panic, please punish Your Majesty."

"Xingsheng is worried about my dynasty, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I punish you? That's what I value about you, and it won't hurt to bump into each other a few more times in the future, haha. ”

"Shame on you."

A joke brought Sun Xuanhuai and Chongzhen closer again, Sun Xuanhuai said frankly that the people of Datong had left, and many things he had done during this time had been in vain, and he felt sorry.

"How can it be in vain? I'll make a bet with you, and it won't be long before you'll see the results for yourself. ”

Chongzhen is full of confidence in this matter, the seeds of people's hearts have already been quietly sown, just give some time, and wait.

"As for the gentry's side, I still need Xingsheng to think of a compromise for me to comfort people's hearts, after all, I personally promised them wealth in the future, wouldn't it be empty to give up now? Of course, I don't force it. ”

After some conversation, Sun Xuanhuai had a little peace of mind in his heart, and immediately thought about how to deal with other big families and took the order.

.....

Jiang Hao did not allow all the orders issued by Chongzhen, and after personally sending Wang Jin out of the city, he thought about riding a horse to look around.

I saw that the common people in the road were in a dark place, pushing a cart and holding the baby to the city gate, it seemed that they were going to flee out of the city.

Seeing that Jiang Hao seemed to be puzzled, Yang Zhenwei next to him slipped the reins, rode to his side, explained the reason to him, and pointed to the stall placed at the city gate not far away.

When Fang Cai led his troops out of the city, Jiang Hao didn't see such a stall, thinking that it was only put up after he left the city.

It was said to be a stall, but in fact a wooden table was set up, and a simple shed was set up on it, and three or two scholars dressed in navy blue were standing here, and some bulging sacks were stacked on the ground behind them.

One of them was Du Mao, who was wearing a square scarf, his sleeves were rolled up high, and he shouted at the civilians passing by with his head held high: "Long live the Lord has an order, those who go out of the city can receive a dry food according to the household, first come, first served." ”

And this good thing? Unheard of, the suspicious households all put down their carts, heard the sound and rushed to the road, and soon the road was blocked.

Du Mao turned around and took out a bunch of cakes from the sack on the ground, each cake was the size of a palm, shaped like a copper coin, and there was a round hole hollowed out in the middle of the cake, and the five cakes were connected into a string.

This cake is known as "Qijia cake", referred to as "light cake" in Qijia army, it is made of rice, wheat and flour compacted and baked, it is very easy to preserve and not bad for a long time after drying water, and then it is strung with a fine thread, which is very convenient to carry.

The soldiers of the Qi family often hung it on their waists to kill the enemy, and over time it was rumored that they could win the battle after eating all the cakes.

Since Chongzhen began to study the book of soldiers, it was mainly written by Qi Jiguang, and this cake was similar to the compressed dry food of later generations, so he picked up a few teeth and wisdom, and ordered people to imitate it.

And carefully divided it into two categories, one is civilian, just like the style in Du Mao's hands, and the other is military, such as the Qijia cake distributed by Jiang Xuan's corporals, with an appropriate amount of salt and sesame seeds added.

"What does the old man mean when he speaks?"

"Really? Take it for nothing? ”

In this year, food is the most rare, and as soon as such a pie in the sky comes out, the people are full of questions, can they really take it for nothing?

"Can you still be blamed? This is the life of the Lord of Long Live himself! ”

In the face of everyone's questions, Du Mao said with a smile, with great pride, isn't the benevolent government of helping the people through the world such as releasing grain to help the people, is it what my generation of scholars have been thinking about?

"Everyone receives it according to the household, one for each household, and it is not allowed to rob it."

Du Mao handed the skewer of bread in his hand to one of them, who lifted the bread above his head and squeezed it out of the crowd, shouting, "It's true! It's true! ”

A woman stood outside the crowd with a child in her arms, and when she saw that someone was really walking out with food, she hurriedly pinched her husband's waist next to her, who was stunned and watching the excitement.

"Wooden heads! Are you still stunned, expecting me and the baby to rob it? The husband was in pain, so he reacted and rushed into the crowd to squeeze in desperately.

"Hey, you've received it once, and if you want to fish in troubled waters again, I'll call the officers and soldiers." Du Mao said and opened the person's arm, no longer giving out cakes, and commanded the people around him: "It's said that one household has one share, if anyone dares to take the lead, they will all be arrested!" As soon as these words came out, the crowd of robbers calmed down a little.

Jiang Huang had a full view of the situation here, shook his head and said to Yang Zhenwei: "It's all useless, how can you not be defeated?" ”

Yang Zhenwei looked around smartly and whispered: "There are many ears and eyes, adults are cautious." ”

Seeing the suspicious appearance of his henchmen, Jiang Hao smiled contemptuously and said: "After today, it is not the official who should be cautious, drive!" After saying that, he flicked his horsewhip and galloped towards the camp.

"Ugh." Yang Zhenwei sighed and had no choice but to follow, with a faint foreboding in his heart, the most jealous master would not be able to hold his breath when the big thing was imminent.

.....

In the palace of the king, the refugees who were resettled here also received notices, but they came to the city to escape the military disaster, where should they go out of the city now?

The situation of the refugees is different from that of the locals, and their thinking is also different, and now no one has dragged their families and families away, and the elders and lieutenants in each village and village have taken the lead in gathering together to discuss with each other.

The refugees were able to settle in the Daiwang Mansion, and the old Chen Tou of Niutou Village made great efforts, and his prestige among the refugees was very high.

Lao Chen's face was still the same sad face, sitting in the right position with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a cigarette pouch and smoking.

"Old Chen, just come up with an idea, it's not a matter of just sitting like this."

"yes."

The people below saw that Lao Chen was patronizing and smoking for a long time and couldn't make a sound, so they hurriedly urged.

The backbone of Raushzi, who wants to do it, the bored old Chen Tou, the wrinkles on his face are deeper.

Everyone urged again and again, but Lao Chen was forced to have no choice, so he knocked the cigarette pouch on the ground and said: "It's okay to have an idea, whether you are happy to listen or not, you can't care about it." ”

"Okay, just say it."

Lao Chen Tou listened to the audience's statement, nodded and continued: "Our life was saved by Long Live Lord, do you recognize this grace?" ”

"Yes." Speaking of Long Live Lord, everyone present has the same words, Long Live Lord let out the palace for us to live, and also give the big guy treatment, clothing, and food, no one will deny this kindness.

After asking, Lao Chen deliberately pricked up his ears to listen, and saw that there were no ungrateful bastards, so he showed a smiling face, and pushed the boat down the river and said: "Everyone knows the truth of the Thanksgiving Diagram, so I won't say much, no matter what others do, the people of our Niujia Village will definitely stay." ”

The lieutenant who was sitting closest to Lao Chen's head listened, and said with some hesitation: "It's not impossible to say that we stay, the question is what can we do if we stay?" I'm afraid that I will be held back by the Lord Banzai. ”

Old Chen pouted, subconsciously buckled the cigarette pouch again, and said to him: "What you said, don't rely on people to fight wars?" I don't believe it, the men in the village all go to guard the city wall, and the women go to help transport things as long as they don't bring the baby, can the Lord still accept us? ”

The air was suddenly silent, and everyone fell silent, everyone's thoughts different.

A young man stood at the door and retorted: "The old man said lightly, and it is not necessary to take his life to repay his kindness, right?" Before he could finish speaking, Lao Chen's cigarette pouch smashed over, but fortunately he flashed quickly.

"A ball baby's coward, fighting will kill people, you know? Did you know that if you don't eat, you will die? ”

Lao Chen patted his ass and got up, and was about to go out to pick up his cigarette pouch, and he didn't forget to add a sentence when he was about to say: "I said it, others can't care about it, and the people of our Niujia Village will repay their kindness." ”

The wound on Tie Sheng's face was almost healed, and there was a faint scar on his lips, and when he saw that his Lao Tzu was out of the door, he also left.

The elders naturally couldn't interject when they spoke, but he actually wanted to say that our Lao Tzu was a seed.
