It's past noon.

The earth did not feel a trace of warmth because of the appearance of the sun.

The mist exhaled from the mouths of the brick-moving people.

Yang Chengying has excellent eyesight and found traces of children among these people.

The weight of bricks is not light, one piece weighs five or six pounds. The older ones carry a piece, and the smaller ones drag a piece on the snow.

The children were all wearing straw sandals, and the insteps of their feet were blue and purple from the cold.

Yang Chengying also saw a girl about eight years old, with a boy about five years old, carrying a brick, slowly to the feet of the man who built the wall.

When the bricks were placed, the bricks accidentally hit the instep of the boy's foot, and the boy grinned and cried in pain.

While wiping the boy's tears, the girl didn't know what to say in the boy's ear, and the boy really stopped crying, and limped with the girl to move bricks.

This scene happened in front of him, which made Yang Chengying very angry.

He wanted to go down directly, but he thought that as the chief soldier, he couldn't directly cross Shang Kexi, otherwise it would affect Shang Kexi's authority, so he put away his thoughts.

I was about to send someone to call the person in charge of this section to ask for clarification, but I heard a rush of footsteps coming from behind me.

Yang Chengying turned around and saw Zheng Zhilong hurrying upstairs.

"Dashuai, just now nearly a thousand mobs attacked our army's baggage, trying to snatch food, and now most of them have been captured, please send them down."

Zheng Zhi Longyu reports.

"Are there any dead or wounded?" Yang Chengying asked.

Since the people were driven here by the Houjin army, there have often been cases of people snatching food, and even occasionally causing deaths.

"More than a dozen of the soldiers were slightly injured, and the mob injured nearly a hundred, but no one died." Zheng Zhilong quickly replied.

"Hmm." Yang Chengying's face softened slightly, waved his hand and said, "After verifying their identities, hand them over to Shang Kexi's men to repair the city." ”

"Yes." Zheng Zhilong left in response.

Yang Chengying asked the guards to call the person in charge of this section.

Soon, the chief Jin Guofeng stepped up to the city tower.

"Handsome ......"

"Why did you let your children come here!"

Without waiting for Jin Guofeng to speak, Yang Chengying said very angrily: "Your brother Jin Guoqi is a stable person, how can you do things so inconsiderately?" ”

"Dashuai, your subordinates have been wronged."

Jin Guofeng looked aggrieved: "In order to speed up the progress of the project, I called half of the children under my name to help, gave ten copper plates a day, and managed two meals, who knew that the little dolls came." ”

"They're coming, just rush back! Have we not fed them? ”

Yang Chengying was even more angry.

After these people were organized, according to the old rules, the young and strong were pulled out to repair the city and repair the piers. Women are mainly responsible for their food, while children and the elderly gather together to feed and burn charcoal for warmth.

Doing so would both quickly reassure the people and protect the future of these Golden States.

When he arrived at Jin Guofeng, he actually pulled the children out to repair the city!

"Dashuai, his subordinates are also helpless."

Jin Guofeng said with a bitter face: "If it's for two meals, these children won't come yet." But if your subordinates give them money, they will all come. ”

"This ......" Yang Chengying frowned slightly.

"Take that pair of siblings as an example."

Jin Guofeng pointed to the sisters and brothers who worked together to carry bricks: "There are several members of their family, my father was killed by Jianlu, and my mother resisted Jianlu's death." Grandma was blind and came here with the people fleeing the famine.

Thinking that no one will farm in the future, the family will have to starve to death. The girl ran to beg her subordinates, how could her subordinates bear to refuse.

In a situation like this, they are not the only ones......"

Speaking of this, Jin Guofeng was so choked up that he couldn't speak.

Yang Chengying's heart was also blocked, and he couldn't help but think of the vegetables in the textile factory.

She was going through the same situation as these children.

According to Yingniang, that girl is actually going to get married, and she will marry Chen Bangxuan, the general under Yang Chengying.

"These children are too young to be exposed to the cold."

Yang Chengying thought for a moment and said, "That's it." Gather them all together, hire a teacher, and teach them to read and write. Each person can get five copper plates per day, and they must report for duty. ”

"What about girls?" Jin Guofeng asked.

"It's the same for girls, they all have to study. If there is no female gentleman, choose among the women who have fled. ”

Yang Chengying said: "If you can't pick it, you will ask someone from the women's barracks to come out to teach." ”

This is tantamount to giving money to those children in disguise.

"Yes, Marshal."

Jin Guofeng solemnly hugged Yang Chengying's fist, and then happily summoned the children.

Not only Jin Guofeng here, but also the children in other sections, they all cheered excitedly when they heard that they would not have to do heavy work in the future, and they could still have food to eat and money to take.

A few sensible children even ran to the city and kowtowed to Yang Chengying from afar.

Yang Chengying sighed and raised his hand to signal them to get up, and he was also emotional.

I always think that I should be hard-hearted enough, but when I see these children, I still can't help but hate the war.

When I think of my past life, I always feel that as long as I study hard, I can use knowledge to change my fate.

In fact, I did it myself. Although there is some bitterness, that little bit of bitterness is nothing compared to these children!

In order to have a full meal, they have a little room to survive in the cruel future, but they have to use all their strength.

"Marshal, there are more and more people in need of relief, and if this continues, I am afraid that the grain and grass in the army will not last long."

Shang Kexi climbed the city tower and said in a deep voice with a worried face.

"If you feel like you can't hold it anymore, you can move food from the rear."

Yang Chengying raised his eyes and said resolutely: "The suffering is only temporary, so many people, as long as they are properly settled, will be the main force in Haizhou Wei and Guangning Wei to resume production in the future." ”

"Amin is really vicious!"

Shang Ke said hatefully: "With so many people living and dying, he didn't even pay attention to it. ”

"It is precisely because of a villain like him that the world is so miserable."

Yang Chengying's eyes froze, and a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Ning Wan led a young general who I had never seen before to ascend to the city tower.

"Dashuai, the envoy of Inspector Yuan asks to see you."

Ning Wan said.

"Oh?" Yang Chengying pouted lightly, raised his eyes to look at the young general, and asked, "Come here, what order did you bring to Inspector Yuan?" ”

"On the order of Inspector Yuan, I hereby inform the marshal that Inspector Yuan has sent troops to rescue Jizhen on the 28th."

The envoy said: "Inspector Yuan hopes that the commander will move westward, sweep Guangning and other places, and be ready to come to the aid at any time." ”

"Understood." Yang Chengying nodded.

According to the pre-agreement, if necessary, Yang Chengying led the army to the west to recover a large area of the old land of the Ming Dynasty west of the Sancha River.

"I take the liberty of asking, how does Inspector Yuan march?"

Yang Chengying asked.

"Send General Master Zhao to lead four thousand iron cavalry first, and the army will follow." The messenger replied.

"What? Why not march together? ”

"The situation in Jizhen is critical, and the imperial court says that there are 50,000 cavalry of Lin Dan Khan."

"How is that possible!"

Yang Chengying couldn't help frowning.
