Chapter 64: Internal Response
Everyone rushed to help Wang Zhaolin, but Wang Zhaolin pushed everyone away and said anxiously.
"I'm fine, you guys...... Go and save the others first, leave me alone, save people first......"
Wang Zhaolin stood firm, but the words he wanted to say next were in his throat, and he saw many people lying on the street.
Some people's chests are still heaving and wailing, but many more are no longer moving.
Wang Zhaolin's figure shook for a while and almost fell, causing everyone to panic again.
"It's okay, it's okay......"
Wang Zhaolin wanted to wipe the sweat on his face with a silk cloth, but he didn't touch it.
He kept whispering that it was okay, as if to comfort himself and everyone.
Sweat flowed down his forehead, and Wang Zhaolin didn't care about any decency, he just raised his sleeve and wiped it.
"Hurry up and ask all the doctors in the county to come here and treat the injured."
Everyone was still worried about Wang Zhaolin, and no one took immediate action.
"Didn't you hear me, why are you still stunned, why don't you go quickly!"
Seeing that everyone was still in place, Wang Zhaolin was rarely angry.
When everyone saw that Wang Zhaolin was angry, they didn't dare to slack off anymore, and immediately someone rushed to find a doctor.
"Let people boil some rice porridge again, and then distribute it in various workshops."
When Chen Wang came closer, Wang Zhaolin was still instructing the officials to settle the aftermath.
"Fortunately, Mr. Chen Qian arrived in time, otherwise I don't know how many people will be killed or injured this time......"
Wang Zhaolin heard Chen Wang's gunshot, and also heard Chen Wang maintain order and evacuate the crowd.
"I would like to ask you what was unusual at the time of the riots?"
Chen Wang's expression was deep, and as soon as he glanced at the past, he felt that there were many people who felt wrong, not ordinary people.
This feeling is indescribable, the way is unknown, although those people look the same as ordinary people, but the more they look at it, the stranger it becomes.
Chen Wang felt that someone might be deliberately guiding this stampede......
"Anomaly?"
Wang Zhaolin frowned slightly, his eyes rolled slightly, and he recalled.
"I remember it seemed like a few people were running around, and then someone shouted that the rogue was coming, and the scene was completely chaotic."
Chen Wang looked at the evacuated crowd and asked in a low voice.
"When the porridge was distributed, were the former homeless people there?"
Wang Zhaolin's face changed, as if he had thought of something.
"You're saying that there are outcasts among those outcasts......
"Don't panic in the county, it's just speculation."
Chen Wang shook his head and didn't say anything too sure.
"Just pay attention to the county, and I'll give you five hundred guards later."
"The Liukou vanguard outside the city has arrived, and I am afraid that the Liukou army will be able to arrive in Chunhua before dusk today, and the big and small affairs in the city will need to be handled by the county honorable at that time."
"Okay, okay, Chen Qian can rest assured, I can't go into battle with a gun, but Wang still has some experience in governing one side."
Wang Zhaolin nodded and responded.
Seeing that Wang Zhaolin was fine, Chen Wang didn't waste much time, and led the soldiers to leave after a few casual sentences.
However, when leaving, Chen Wang asked where the gathering place of those people who entered the city and county was located, and then instructed Tang Shiping.
"Find a few clever ones, go to these places at night, the city is not very peaceful......"
The rogue lacked siege equipment, swept all the way across the border, and the number of times they broke the city was actually not much, and they generally plundered the countryside.
Prefectures and counties are protected by city walls, and although there are not many defenders, the young men who defend the city can also cause considerable damage through the city.
The strong army under the command of the Liukou are all horsemen and elite cavalry, and the rest of the infantry and hungry soldiers are actually not much stronger than those young and strong, and their morale is extremely low.
The ability of the Liukou to attack the fortification is actually okay, only when the pursuers are in a hurry, when they attack some checkpoints, the fine cavalry and horse army are dismounted and attack the city, and they can quickly attack the city at any cost.
But this situation is very rare, because the elite cavalry and horse army are basically the family of those leaders, and they dare not lose easily.
Otherwise, in the future, in the face of the invasion of the official army, there will be no escape or victory, and it is more likely to be swallowed up by the rest of the forces.
The fine cavalry and horse army can indeed break the city, but often the income after breaking the city is difficult to make up for the loss, so it is better to plunder the countryside.
Therefore, many of the cities they broke along the way were broken within the city, or they besieged the city when they had time.
What is certain is that there are definitely quite a few rogues who have entered Chunhua City among the ranks of the homeless.
"The people who enter the city should be some old bandits who have been thieves for many years, let them pay attention to it, and find those people who are looking around and have the wrong calluses on their hands."
The hand with a knife and a gun and the hand with a farm tool are completely different things, and it is difficult to hide the eyes and temperament, even if the camouflage is good, there are always flaws.
Because of Wang Zhaolin's previous measures, these people have no blades, as long as they are strictly guarded, the danger will not be too great.
Tang Shiping took the order, and did not stay long, then led the people back to the camp in a hurry.
Moreover, the soldiers of the two divisions in the battalion were still waiting for him to preside over military affairs.
"Within......
Chen Wang stared at the distant back of Tang Shiping Garden.
Then he glanced at the scattered rogues beneath the walls, and he felt as if he had forgotten something extremely important.
Looking at the black flags one after another on the field outside Chunhua City, Chen Wang's eyes slowly turned.
"What month is today?"
Chen Wang tilted his head slightly and asked.
"The tenth day of August."
"The tenth day of August?"
Chen Wang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he repeated in a low voice.
"The eighth year of Chongzhen, the tenth ...... of the first month of August"
Chen Wangzai recalled the history books he had read before.
Although Cao Wenzhao did not die and changed the direction of some things, many things still have inertia, and the temporary discrepancies will not be very large.
Historically, Gao Yingxiang divided his troops into three ways to plunder places.
In July, he led the troops to break through He Renlong and Zhang Quanchang, and Zhang Xianzhong joined forces to advance to Xi'an, but he did not have a country, so he went west to martial arts.
In August, they attacked Fufeng, Qishan and other counties.
In September, Gao Yingxiang joined forces with Gao Yingen, Hui Dengxiang, and Zhang Xianzhong to break through Xingping and enter Guanzhong.
Hong Chengchou was alone in the center, leading 12,000 troops, setting up positions in Jingyang and Sanyuan, and holding on to the fierce battle.
In October, Gao Yingxiang and other people were ineffective in fighting the Ming army, and Xianzhong and other troops went out of Tongguan and marched eastward in 13 battalions.
It is still August, and if history has not changed much, Li Zicheng went south at this time because he received Gao Yingxiang's order.
Gao Yingxiang prepared to attack Guanzhong in September and enter Xi'an again.
"Li Zicheng and Hui Deng ...... each other"
Outside Chunhua City, the outlines of the cavalry of the invading army are becoming clearer and clearer.
A black banner unfurled in the wind, and the word "Chuang" with a big bucket came into Chen Wang's eyes.
And Chen Wang also thought of what he had forgotten at this time.
