total war broken

Chapter 377

In November of the tenth year of Chongzhen, pirates raided cities all over the country. When the Shandong army was stationed at the checkpoints and waited to react, the pirates had already entered the city, and families from all over the country resisted bravely. Shandong magistrate Wang Yan, head of the Zou family, academy student Wang Mo and others Fighting against pirates without fear, scolding pirates, and finally being hacked to death with knives. His death was miserable. The commander-in-chief was deeply moved to build a shrine for him and personally worshiped him. There are endless worshipers coming and going every day.

A large amount of grain was found in the grain merchants in the city, and immediately the people in the city had grain, oil, salt, etc., and the surrounding people retreated and no one resisted the tax collection barrier.

The sun shone on Xiao Chuan's eyes, and he sat on his special recliner with a wool coat on his body, and the pain on both sides of his waist continued unabated. Xiao Zi, who was on the side, worried when he saw Xiao Chuan's appearance: "My lord, why are you frowning?" I don’t show up, but I don’t feel well.”

"No, it's just a backache." Xiaochuan smiled helplessly, and Xiaozi beside him said with a worried expression, "Did you catch a cold last night?"

Yamato, who was playing an unknown Japanese musical instrument on the side, simmered for a while, his face flushed slightly, and said: "Yesterday, you insisted on looking for me."

Xiao Zi didn't understand their conversation, and the wound on her head was already healed a lot: "By the way, Mr. came here today to ask if we will live in Qingzhou or Jinan Prefecture in the future?"

Forehead?Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment. Of course he lives in Qingzhou. If all the family members are here, they still have their own way of living. Wouldn't it be a way to serve the country loyally in advance? He said: "Tell him to stay in Jinan Mansion until I finish training." Go to Qingzhou again”

"Oh" Xiao Zi was a little happy. She didn't have to meet the hostess in advance, otherwise she would be worried that she would be unlucky if she met a jealous hostess.

After Yamato heard this, he looked at the fish in the pond and stopped, his beautiful big eyes filled with a different kind of gentleness.

"I heard that the prince will pass by Shandong in a few days. Shall we go to meet him?" Xiao Zi's big eyes were filled with anticipation, as if she was very curious about how magnificent the prince's team would be, and said, "I heard that the prince's sedan chair has sixteen A snow-white horse with unicorn guards on both sides, and a hundred thousand troops behind it."

Ouch, Xiaochuan almost laughed out loud. Looking at Xiaozi who looked like a little girl, he felt helpless and said, "Who told you this?"

"That's what the kids outside said, and they also said that the crown prince is not a wise man because he took Liu Zeqing's army in." Xiao Zi's big eyes flashed with a strange light.

"Where did the prince come from with 10 people? Even Shandong can't afford to support an army of [-]." Yamato said with a smile: "You are already a girl, why do you still believe the rumors outside?"

After hearing this, Xiao Zi pouted, looking very unhappy, and said: "Who said that the prince can just bring enough food, why can't he afford it?"

Ogawa shook his head and laughed. It was helpless that the prince went south to Nanjing. The richest places in the two provinces of Jiangnan and Zhejiang belonged to the prince. A new bloody storm was bound to start in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Sir, let's go take a look," Xiao Zi took Xiao Chuan's arm and said with expectation.

"Of course the prince is passing by Shandong, I should meet him and see him off," Xiao Chuan said, but Xiao Zi laughed happily when he heard it.

Yamato on the side frowned and said: "How can you spoil this little girl like this?"

***********
There is a continuous army, the red army can't see the end, on both sides are groups of cavalry that look differently mighty and majestic, in the middle is a yellow carriage, on which Zhu Cihong is wearing a yellow robe, and a little eunuch is next to him, and there is a Zhu Hu, who was wearing bright armor, looked at Zhu Hu with great satisfaction and said, "This armor is so powerful and mighty, you fit it very well (the crown prince obtained the name for him)." The dozen or so generals of the Ming army who followed nearby all voted enviously. gaze.

Zhu Hu was now tall and tall and wearing iron armor. He carried an inexplicable sense of power and was no longer the soldier he was before. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for the armor, Your Highness."

"You and I, brothers, don't call me master and servant, you can just call me Brother Hong." Zhu Cihong shook his head and smiled, his handsome face was full of satisfaction, and the dozen or so generals nearby were even more envious, but who let Zhu Hu's ability to lead troops to fight is first-class and deeply valued by the prince.

"This is against the rules, Your Highness." Zhu Hu shook his head hastily, with a look of excitement on his face, and more confusion.

"No, I said you are my brother and you are" Zhu Cixiang said. After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the rolling fields in the distance. He heard the sound of cattle and sheep in his ears. Zhu Hu suddenly said excitedly: "We have arrived in Shandong."

"Oh? That's right, we'll be here so soon." Zhu Cihong's expression was a little stiff, and when he looked around, he suddenly saw Zhu Hu's expression was a little embarrassed, but he understood why the other party still cared about accepting Liu Zeqing's rebellious army, and said, "Changwei, I know you still care about my taking Liu Zeqing's army, but most of them are my citizens of Ming Dynasty, all of them are innocent, but the officers among them are doing a lot of evil, which has nothing to do with the soldiers. I hope you can understand my intentions. At this moment, Daming has already Can't afford any loss."

"Yes! I understand." Zhu Hu cupped his fists and said, looking at the Liuze Qing army in front of the team, with a strange look on his face, hatred?He still couldn't let go of his grudge against Ruze Qingjun.

"When we wait for Nanjing, I will reorganize Shenji, three thousand, five armies and three battalions," Zhu Cihong said. Some generals on the side were excited, but they did not dare to make any changes, saying: "Then the Shenji battalion will be yours." "Commander," Zhu Cihong said.

"I am just a commoner, and most of the people in the Shenji camp are nobles from the court, but they may be dissatisfied," Zhu Hu said worriedly.

"Hmph, those nobles." There was an inexplicable hatred in Zhu Cihong's eyes. He thought of where in the capital he recruited Xu Wenjue and other capable people from the real Shenji camp when he was rejected, and said: "Are you My younger brother, my younger brother, who dares to disobey!" Then he said worriedly: "It's just that there are few horses in the south, so it's more troublesome to form cavalry like this. I'm afraid there are only 3000 people I brought from the capital for the [-] battalion, but it's true. Three thousand battalions..."

"It doesn't matter, Your Highness, there are many people who can ride and shoot well in the two Huaihe Rivers, and the people here are tough and there are many original horse households. It is not difficult to form a cavalry," Zhu Hu said with a smile.

"Oh! That's how it is," Zhu Cihong said, with surprise in his eyes, but a checkpoint suddenly appeared in front of him, he stopped the conversation and looked ahead.

A general holding a long-handled machete on the side immediately flew out and shouted: "Who is in front of you, who is so bold and dares to block the prince's carriage? Don't you want to live?"

The more than 100 sergeants in the front looked solemn, and indifferently raised the firecrackers in their hands, and the junior officer at the side shouted: "Get ready!" The firecracker's hand was immediately on the trigger. "No matter who it is, those who indiscriminately create levels will die!"

The Ming general immediately broke into a cold sweat, but with the prince behind him, he couldn't retreat, so he had to stand there in a stalemate.
