total war broken

Chapter 448 The Plague
The wind blew and rolled up the dust all over the sky. The war ended from May to September. After looking at it, the turbulent flow of people when the troops were dispatched that day was gone, and only depression remained. More than 8000 soldiers died and more than 8000 were injured. Since then, Shandong has lost more than 8000 warriors capable of fighting, and more than [-] lifeless tablets. And the corpse behind him sighed, "Let me send Mi Heng off for the last time." Sighing, Mi Heng also died in this battle.

For some reason, the September wind looked at the simple coffin behind him with a kind of coolness. Xiao Chuan's eyes were moist, and he couldn't help recalling Mi Heng who usually liked to be in a daze and was always distracted, and the scene where he was under the city wall at the end. With a bloody figure like Shura, he sighed and said, "We have suffered heavy losses in this battle. If no one forms an alliance with us, how can Zhang Xianzhong be put down?" Xiao Chuan felt helpless and wanted to cry, and Mrs. Chu behind him gently put a cloak on his shoulders. His eyes were full of worry. .

"Young master, Your Majesty responded that the prince and the towns in the south of the Yangtze River will not send troops, and the frontier army must be on guard against Houjin! No one is willing to attack Zhang Xianzhong with us!" Wang Heng said, "And Zhang Xianzhong has calmed down recently, and it seems Do you mean to surrender?"

"Surrender? How many times has he surrendered? Is it possible that he can accept the surrender again? Could it be that no one in Daming could see his fake surrender!" Xiao Chuan didn't understand the Ming Dynasty's strategy of helping each other, so he repeatedly let go There are also a few thieves who really surrendered and died for the Ming Dynasty, but in most cases they will rebel again.All the generals nearby looked helpless, Han Gang scolded angrily, Han Tie bowed his head and remained silent, while Li Yi had different expressions
"After all, if there are no thieves everywhere, how can the general soldiers ask for military salary!" Wang Heng laughed mockingly, but he was also helpless. Liangyu took advantage of the situation and wiped out, and why did Li Zicheng, the later Great Western Army, do the same.

Glancing at Wang Heng, he was indescribably lonely. If someone could destroy Zhang Xianzhong with him, Wang Heng smiled wryly and said, "Young Master, we shouldn't just think about Zhang Xianzhong, but many people are thinking about Zhang Xianzhong now." What about us?"

"Miss us?" Xiao Chuan was a little strange, and said, "You mean the prince?" Wang Heng nodded and said, "The other party occupies the south of the Yangtze River after all, and there may be a day when he will go north in the future! After all, the other party is integrating the power of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even Guangdong and Guangxi!"

"This?" Xiaochuan was startled. Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been very prosperous since the middle period, but the imperial court has not benefited from it. Jinhua, Zhejiang, has a tax of seven taels a year at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Years of military expenditure, the other party's tentacles are fascinated by Jiangnan to integrate this terrifying financial resources.

"Don't be afraid, even if all the craftsmen are integrated, their firearms will not be as good as ours." Ogawa shook his head not to say that the craftsmen at the end are not good enough, but that it is difficult to make a qualified self-igniting device without the help of a milling machine. There is an anachronism for them.

"But there are too many craftsmen on the other side. Even if they produce bird guns, the amount they make every year is terrifying! Although there is no horse farm in the south, there are an astonishing number of craftsmen and people. Even if the quality is not as good as ours, the quantity is huge. It is also a terrifying force!" Wang Heng said, taking a deep breath with an inexplicable feeling in his tone.

"With large quantities of firearms and a huge population, we can increase the population by recovering several lands in northern Henan this time," Wang Heng said, looking to the north, "But there are no craftsmen here!"

After a while, a man in black brought over an envelope, Xiao Chuan glanced at it, and said in his heart, "Your Majesty has rejected our request, and we are not allowed to occupy the northern city, and we are only allowed to garrison troops on the outskirts of the city!" Enough for the chief of his own to control all the villages outside the pool, a city will become something that feeds back the village, as long as it occupies every village outside the city, the city will be controlled by himself in disguise.

"Congratulations, sir, for occupying a few more cities under his command." Wang Heng clasped his fists and smiled while stroking his gray beard. Liya beside him said strangely, "Why can't I understand! Obviously there is no unified occupation?"

"Well, although we didn't agree to occupy these places, the garrison rights outside the city are enough for us to control this place tightly," Mrs. Chu said with a smile.

The wind whizzed past and rolled up the sky with smoke and dust, and the land was dry with endless barrenness. All I could see was the yellow land and the blue sky. Gusts of wind and sand blew by, and there were groups of disaster victims on both sides. They were wearing black rags. Clothes, some with strips of rags exposed, some with bare upper body and no clothes at all, their bodies have been tanned to dark yellow, and the skin is dry and cracked and pus oozes out, giving off a foul smell.

They walked towards the north with lifeless eyes. Human life is like nothing in troubled times. From time to time, a few corpses appeared on both sides. There was the sound of buzzing flies. The corpses were already withered and their faces were distorted. The strong rancid smell made the stomach feel like churning.

"The corpse must be buried or burned! Otherwise, there will be a plague." Wang Heng said worriedly, looking at the fleeing crowd in front of him, there must be a disaster after a catastrophe.

"Great plague?" Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and their eyes became extremely serious. The plague can be said to be the worst of all disasters, and if it spreads, it will be impossible to prevent it.

"Hurry up and burn the corpses everywhere, either dig deep and bury them, or burn them on the spot," Xiaochuan said. He didn't want the few cities he got to become dead cities.

"In addition, the people are prohibited from going to Shandong, and the people are resettled in several places in northern Henan!" Wang Heng said, and the expressions of several people were solemn.

In the distance is the outline of a city that looks extremely huge, but it gives off a dead air with no soldiers. Outside the city are full of tents, dense crowds and people waiting in line.

Groups of soldiers maintained order. They were Beifu soldiers. They were wearing iron armor and iron helmets, holding spears, bows and arrows in their hands. They maintained order beside the porridge shacks. From time to time, among the refugees, there were green-skinned scoundrels bullying the old, weak, women and children. Random Beifu soldiers He walked out indifferently, and when the bow and arrow in his hand shot out, the green-skinned man screamed and fell to the ground. He said in a cold voice, "Those who disturb the order will be killed without mercy!" Only at this moment on the city wall can you see more than a dozen heads hanging on the top of the city, warning the people here. Green skin.

When a group of Beifu soldiers saw the huge flow of people outside, they quickly walked over. One of them quickly ran over, "Sir, please save my general." He looked anxious.

Everyone in Xiao Chuan looked strange and walked forward quickly.
