Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 170 Meeting Feng Huzi

"You mean, the Tartars slaughtered your hometown?" Xu Ruogu couldn't believe Feng Huzi's words.

It is said that the entire territory of Huaiqing was occupied by the Qing Dynasty, and the local officials in Huaiqing also presented a surrender form and accepted the appointment of the Qing court. From a legal point of view, the officials of Xiuwu County are now officials of the Qing Dynasty. Xiuwu County The people of the Qing Dynasty are the people of the Miqing, how could the Qing Dynasty slaughter them?
"Yeah, I don't know if anyone can survive, but I see that tens of thousands of people poured into the city, and the streets and alleys are full of looting and murderous Tartar soldiers, their number is greater than the entire city's people. " Feng Huzi said sadly.

He also never imagined that the Tartars would do such a beastly thing, slaughter the people under his rule in order to vent their anger, and even mobilize an army larger than the number of people, which is simply unheard of and unseen.

"Now I just hope to see the emperor, let him send troops to attack Hauge, avenge my hometown folks, and give hope to the people of Ming Dynasty." Feng Huzi broke down in tears.

Although the exploitation of the Ming Dynasty was very heavy, and the officials often set up tricks to steal the wealth of the people, but living under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, they could at least live as individuals.

But living under the iron hooves of Mite Qing, they can only die like slaves, being wantonly deprived of their lives by the Tartars, robbed of all their property, and destroyed all their hopes.

In Western terms, these Tartars are evil spirits crawling out of hell. They devour the living, burn the land, and destroy civilization.

"I see, I will try my best to help you, but the Son of Heaven is beyond my reach, so I can only pass on your request to your superiors and ask them to pass it on to His Majesty."

Hearing Feng Huzi, a knight, crying like this, Xu Ruogu couldn't bear it anymore, and he decided to do his best to help Feng Huzi.

This is not only to help my friends, but also to help those people who were massacred in despair, and to let the justice in my heart be done.

So Xu Ruogu told the news to the commander's own Baihu, and Baihu was shocked when he heard the news, so he decided to take Xu Ruogu to see Qianhu.

Qianhu's performance was the same as Baihu's, so he also decided to bring Xu Ruogu to meet his superior, Wang Ruoyuan, the commander of the banner guard and the commander.

Wang Ruoyuan, Xu Ruogu, and these thousands and hundreds of households have one big thing in common, that is, most of them are scholars who fled south to Jinling. They joined the flag-bearers because Zhu Cixiang raised the banner of recruiting troops. Wei, became an officer.

These people are scholars with some fame but have never been officials, so they have always been passionate about national affairs and have a fanatical vision for justice.

Naturally, Wang Ruoyuan had no reason to reject Xu Ruogu and Feng Huzi, so he brought them directly in front of Zhu Cihong. No matter how good his own eloquence was, it was not as effective as the two talking in person in front of the king.

So, after many inspections, and taking a bath and changing clothes, Feng Huzi and Xu Ruogu finally saw Zhu Cihong.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." After being taught by the eunuch, Feng Huzi and Xu Ruogu knew a little about the etiquette of meeting the emperor, so when they saw Zhu Cihong, they kowtowed first.

"Stand up, stand up and talk."

Zhu Cihong is not an ignorant and evil Qing emperor, he will not let his courtiers kneel on the ground and practice iron knees all day long.

To make the courtiers obey the emperor's orders and feel the authority of the emperor does not depend on kneeling in front of the emperor all day long, but on the fact that the emperor makes wise decisions and leads the country to peace and prosperity.

If an emperor governs the country in a mess, then no matter how orderly his courtiers are made to kneel all day long, people in the world, including those courtiers, will still have a mentality of resistance.

Furthermore, courtiers are also human beings, they are officials of the country, not the emperor's slaves alone, letting them kneel down to talk and do things insultingly all day long is an insult to their personality, just ask, a personality can be insulted Man, is it strange to do such a beastly thing?

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Huzi and Xu Ruogu thanked politely, then stood up and lowered their heads.

They couldn't look directly at Zhu Cihong, because it would be impolite to the emperor, but if they really wanted to see what their emperor looked like, they could still take a sneak peek.

"Wang Ruoyuan, the commanding officer of Xiuwu County, has already told me that what Miqing did is really outrageous. As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, I can't protect my own people. It's really heartbreaking." A tear fell from the corner of Zhu Cihong's eye.

In fact, before Feng Huzi and Xu Ruogu came to meet him, Wang Ruoyuan had already told Zhu Cihong about the matter, but in order to show their importance to this matter, Zhu Cihong and Wang Ruoyuan thought it would be better to meet them.

"But don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for my people and avenge them, otherwise I would still be an emperor!" Zhu Cihong's tone was very firm, this time, he could be regarded as facing Hauge.

Lu's Spring and Autumn Clouds said that he who is born in the sky and not crushed is called the Son of Heaven.

Those who can protect the people in the world and prevent them from being violated are the sons of heaven. Zhu Cihong thinks this sentence is right. It is his responsibility to protect the people under his rule.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"If the fathers and fellow villagers of Caomin know and hear His Majesty's words, they will surely die in peace." Feng Huzi cupped his hands and said to Zhu Cihong.

He didn't expect that Zhu Cihong, as the emperor, would care so much about these lowly common people. At this moment, he even felt that he could die for Zhu Cihong.

"Cao Min requests to join His Majesty's army, and serve His Majesty, even if you go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, I will never complain." Feng Huzi begged Zhu Cihong.

After the first battle in Xiuwu County, Feng Huzi deeply realized that no matter how good the martial arts are, the folk chivalrous men and warriors are no match for the trained army.

Don't say it's the veterans who have experienced many battles, even if they just dropped their hoes and picked up their swords and guns, Feng Huzi felt that his brothers were far from opponents in a large-scale battle, even if they honed all day long. With his own martial arts, three or five men can't even get close to him.

However, the impact of personal martial arts on the battlefield is actually very small. Anyway, there is not much space on the battlefield, and there are not many opportunities for you to display martial arts, especially in infantry-based troops like the Ming Army and the Shun Army.

"Okay, since a strong man has the ambition to serve the country, then I will give you a chance."

"Wang Ruoyuan, bring him to the Xiaoqiwei to Echina. Let Feng Huzi be the chief banner officer first. If he does well or has merit, he will be promoted as appropriate."
