Chapter 261 The Earth Dragon Turns Over

Chapter 261 The Earth Dragon Turns Over
Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a while and worked hard, it came and went quickly, Li Guo and others quickly stood firm.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then a word came out: Dilong turn over!
"Damn it, God won't give you a way out!" Gao Yigong couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

Li Dingguo suddenly followed suit and said, "It's raining!"

Sure enough, the occasional raindrops had already started to fall, and after a while, the raindrops began to become denser and denser. Obviously, a heavy rain was coming.

"God damn thief!" Seeing this, Li Guo couldn't help cursing, and then said to the others, "Let's hurry up while we're at this time, it's dawn and the cavalry is active, so it's not easy to leave Already!"

After he finished speaking, the group of people started to flee again regardless of their fatigue.

Almost at the same time, Emperor Chongzhen also felt the turn of the earth dragon in the tent of the central army, but fortunately he was camping in the wild, so he was basically not affected by the turn of the earth dragon.This is also the first time he encountered it in ancient times. Compared with the earth dragon turning over he experienced in later generations, this is really a child's disease, and it should not be a major earthquake.Therefore, he didn't care.

When we got out of the Chinese military tent, we found that it was about to start raining.It just so happened that Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, rushed over because of Dilong turning over. Emperor Chongzhen saw that he was tired, so he knew that he probably didn't have a lot of rest last night, and he was busy catching thieves, so he asked casually: "How is the situation?" gone?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the cavalry army has been divided into two parts, and they are taking turns to hunt down the fleeing thieves. The infantry also rejoined the search team just now when the sky was twilight." Chen Qiyu hurriedly replied, "So far, more than 6000 thieves have been captured. People. With the cavalry hunting and hunting, the remaining thieves will definitely not be able to escape far. It is estimated that in two days, we should be able to wipe out almost all of them without waiting for the peripheral troops!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was still satisfied. He nodded and asked again: "How many of those bandit leaders have you caught?"

"Most of the rogue leaders caught so far are middle and low-level leaders in the rogue team. However, there are too many of them, and I haven't had time to sort them out yet. There should be a lot of them that haven't been sorted out." Chen Qiyu played skillfully again, " However, there is chaos on the battlefield, there must be some rogue leaders who have not been caught. I must dispatch troops to chase and intercept all the rogues. This time, the emperor has already laid a net, and they will definitely not escape!"

Regarding this, Emperor Chongzhen also nodded, and when he saw the rain, he entered the tent of the Chinese army, and said at the same time: "It's also fortunate that the weather is still at the end of August, otherwise, this heavy rain will freeze the soldiers! "

"Your Majesty cares about the soldiers. It is really a blessing for the soldiers." Chen Qiyu, who followed him, said sincerely, "It is also thanks to Your Majesty for being in charge. Otherwise, if Dilong turned around just now, things would be a lot more troublesome!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help smiling when he heard this, he wouldn't believe this, it had nothing to do with him whether the earth dragon turned over or not.

Suddenly remembered something, he turned around and confessed: "By the way, there are still about [-] thieves fleeing outside Nanyang City. The most important thing is that Zuo Menggeng must be caught!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I sent cavalry troops to search for them last night." Chen Qiyu hurriedly replied after hearing this.

Emperor Chongzhen had told him that he would cut his son into pieces in front of Zuo Liangyu, and let him taste the ruin of the people's family.Therefore, his arrest of Zuo Menggeng had long been on his mind.

Sitting back on the throne, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, then asked Chen Qiyu again: "How is the food situation?"

After all, the eavesdropping seeds can only convey what Chen Qiyu heard, or what he said himself. As for what he sees, it will not be fed back through the eavesdropping seeds.Ask in person to learn more about the situation.

As soon as he heard this, Chen Qiyu's face became serious, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the food and grass carried by the Weichen army can only be used for ten days. If we add the bandit rations, even if we only give them enough for one day, One time of gruel hanging, I am afraid it will last for five or six days at most."

At this point, he paused for a moment, then remembered something, and added: "These grains were ordered from the vassal mansions of various places according to His Majesty's orders. So far, the grain supply from Jiangnan and other places has only been received It's just one time. I'm busy with military affairs, so I haven't had time to carefully investigate the delivery of grain and grass in the future."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his face became serious.Although they defeated the thieves and caught so many thieves, the key to solving the thieves was food.Otherwise, even if these rogues are killed, other common people will become rogues.

So, he immediately ordered Chen Qiyu to send someone to investigate the food.

At this time, it was raining heavily outside.However, Chen Qiyu didn't hesitate at all. After receiving the order, he immediately left the tent of the Chinese army and hurriedly arranged the emperor's orders.

However, not long after that, Chen Qiyu, whose official robe was soaked, came back again. After entering the Chinese army tent in a hurry and panic, he played to Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, the previous earth dragon Turn over, Nanyang City has been severely damaged, and many houses have collapsed!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was taken aback immediately, and quickly asked, "How is the disaster?"

As soon as he asked this question, he felt that Chen Qiyu hadn't seen it on the spot, so he probably couldn't explain clearly.Thinking of the earthquakes he experienced in later generations, he strode out immediately without saying a word, and at the same time delivered an order: "Prepare the horse, I want to go back to Nanyang City to have a look."

"Your Majesty, it's raining heavily outside!" Chen Qiyu said worriedly when he saw it.Even if there is a poncho, the rain is too heavy, and the emperor will probably get wet when he arrives at Nanyang City.

Emperor Chongzhen did not stop because of this. As he walked out, he said to Chen Qiyu: "This little rain is nothing. I leave this place to you, Chen Qing, and continue to hunt for the thieves."

When he finished speaking, he had already left the Chinese military account.

Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jin Yiwei who followed in a hurry, quickly put a poncho on the emperor, but the rain was indeed a bit heavy and the poncho was actually of no use.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen simply pushed his poncho, got on his horse, and said, "Let's go back to Nanyang!"

Now there are still many thieves outside. Although the officers and soldiers are searching for them, they must be careful. A cavalry army of 2000 people escorted the emperor back and forth, and immediately rushed to Nanyang City in the heavy rain.

Besides, Li Guo fled with Li Dingguo and others. However, there were groups of imperial cavalry everywhere, whizzing past from time to time. As long as they saw someone, they would surround them.Therefore, Li Guo and others had an extremely difficult time escaping.

Thanks to them, these people are all experienced in fleeing, hiding and hiding, and they just haven't been found.

However, Li Guo was not optimistic. He took the opportunity to hide and said in a low voice: "The cavalry army has delayed our escape to the greatest extent. When the infantry army comes to search, we will not be able to hide so easily. Therefore, we must flee as soon as possible. Avoid being overtaken by infantry!"

What he said was reasonable, and everyone else nodded.

At this moment, Gao Yigong who was in charge of monitoring suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Shut up, a large cavalry army is coming."

When everyone heard this, they quickly lowered their bodies and hid.

Sure enough, after a while, they heard thunderous hooves of horses coming, but they didn't find them, so they galloped past on the official road not far from them.

"Damn it, why are there so many cavalry this time?" Li Laiheng peeped at the cavalry going away, and could not help cursing and guessing in a low voice, "Could it be that they found a large group of rebels and went to arrest them?"

In the past, the imperial cavalry usually consisted of a team of one or two hundred, and they dispersed to search for them.And there were about [-] cavalry in the past just now, so Li Laiheng said this.

This time, it was Li Dingguo who answered him, "It's not like, it seems to be some important guard! I peeked at it just now, and there is no one in the middle who is older. It should not be that dog official Chen Qiyu. I reckon..."

Before he could say anything, Liu Wenxiu said in surprise, "Could it be that dog emperor?"

Hearing his words, Li Dingguo nodded and said, "I think so."

"You said that, now that I think about it, it's true that there are Jinyiwei inside!" Li Guo also nodded in agreement, "It should be the dog emperor! Otherwise, there would not be more than 2000 cavalry escorts."

Speaking of this, he was a little surprised and said: "This dog emperor is rushing in the rain, why is he in such a hurry? It's impossible, is it for the earth dragon to turn around in the early morning?"

"Of course it is impossible for the dog emperor to care about the life and death of the people so much!" Gao Yigong also said, "But don't forget, there is a Tang king in Nanyang. He must care about the Tang king, after all, their surname is Zhu. No!"

Hearing this, everyone thought it was the reason.They cursed the dog emperor one after another, and then under the leadership of Li Guo, they sneaked back on their way.

At this time, they had to thank the heavy rain. Although it caused inconvenience to them, it also caused inconvenience to the cavalry search and arrest.

After more than an hour, Emperor Chongzhen arrived outside Nanyang City.

The thieves here have already dispersed, and the fire camps left by various thieves outside the city can be seen that countless people gathered here before.As for the corpses outside the city, they should have been cleaned up immediately yesterday, but there was still a faint smell of corpses.

The large group of cavalry rushed over and already alarmed the guards on the top of the city.

Seeing Jin Yiwei surrounded him, he knew it must be the emperor, so he hurried over to see him.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw the generals coming from Nanyang City, he didn't stop. He drove his horse towards the city and asked first, "How is the disaster relief situation in the city?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Tang Palace is fine!" the general told him immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, but after waiting for a while, there was nothing to say, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at him, frowning and asking: "What else?"

"Others..." The general was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then came back to his senses, and quickly added: "At most, the mansions of the adults in the city are only damaged. People are basically fine, so there is no need to worry about it, Your Majesty!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he finally understood that daring to be affectionate was a matter for the common people and did not exist here at all.

Thinking this way, he became a little angry, and shouted louder: "I'm asking how the people of Nanyang are doing?"

After finishing speaking, he clamped his legs, drove the horse and walked quickly, and entered the arena to see the situation by himself.

When the general heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that the emperor cared so much about the affairs of the people!

It had been raining heavily all morning, and by this time it had slowly subsided.

After entering the city, what Emperor Chongzhen saw at a glance was that many houses in Nanyang City were collapsed.At a glance, you can tell that it is a bungalow, with mud walls and the like.

Obviously, these houses are just simple enough to live in, and there is no other particularity.Therefore, although the magnitude of the earthquake this time was not high, there were many collapses.However, those mansions of rich and powerful families rarely collapsed.

In Nanyang City, during the Zhengde period, there were five or six earthquakes in a row, almost every one or two years.Therefore, it is likely that since then, rich people have paid attention to whether the house is strong or not.

In the collapsed houses, one can see the poor people in Nanyang City at a glance, busy in twos and threes in the ruins of their own houses, digging with hands, moving with force, maybe they are digging people, or they may be looking for their own belongings.

In some ruins, there are still people crying while hugging the corpses of their relatives, and some are injured. Without exception, they are all in the rain.

Emperor Chongzhen just glanced at it, and didn't realize that there were officers and soldiers helping people at all, and it was the people themselves who were saving people.

Seeing this situation, he was a little angry.There are many collapsed houses in Nanyang City. In the early morning, when the earthquake happened at dawn, many people must have been buried inside.How can it be possible to rely on people who escaped from their own families to save their relatives?
At this moment, a group of civil and military officials rushed over, and the leader was the young King Tang.Obviously got the news and came to pick him up.

While seeing the ceremony, they were worried about the body of the dragon, and asked the emperor to go to the Tang Palace to change clothes to keep warm.

Emperor Chongzhen gave them a cold look, and found that they didn't look at the ruins on both sides of the street at all.

He was riding a horse, looking down at them, and suddenly shouted sharply: "Are you turning a blind eye to this disaster? The people are in urgent need of rescue, have you given a helping hand?"

Hearing this, the Governor of Nanyang was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, it's the minister waiting to save you. There is really no manpower to save him. All the manpower available have been sent out of the city to hunt down the thieves!"

"Then what about you?" Emperor Chongzhen pointed at them angrily and shouted: "The servant is holding an umbrella, are you still drinking and having fun before coming to see me? Do you have the heart to be parents and officials?"

When he said this, he could tell that these people must have had a party before they came here.Maybe it's just to celebrate Nanyang's release from the siege. They persisted until the arrival of the emperor, which is a great achievement.

"Being an official doesn't make decisions for the people, why not go home and sell sweet potatoes!" Emperor Chongzhen stared at the governor of Nanyang and snorted coldly: "Come on, take off his black gauze hat!"

 My eyes are dry and painful. I took two kinds of eye drops and rested for a while. I am much better now, but I have delayed coding. The chapter tomorrow morning should be updated later.
