Chapter 111
Pingyuan County.
Standing on the low earth city wall, Li Shijie holding a steel sword in his hand, staring at the wilderness north of the city.
He was a juren in the sixth year of the Tianqi period. He struggled in the officialdom for so many years and was finally promoted to the magistrate of Pingyuan at the beginning of the year. In fact, Pingyuan County had just been captured and killed and captured by the East. The devastation when he took office is still vivid in my mind.
Just as he tried his best to restore people's livelihood, the Donglu actually invaded again.
With the last painful lesson, the people within dozens of miles of Fangyuan, Pingyuan County, actually, after the killing of the Eastern Captains at the beginning of the year, not many survived. They all fled to Pingyuan County, and of course, many people fled to Jinan.
After waiting for only one day, the legendary "invincible" Donglu appeared in front of Li Shijie - thousands of Donglu cavalry were passing by the city, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves made everyone who guarded the city frightened.
Although Li Shijie, who is over fifty years old, seems mediocre, he has been in danger after decades of training at the grassroots level. He has long summoned the township warriors, yamen runners, civil servants and even healthy women to defend the city. He even raised his sword to climb the city tower.
If the county lord is like this, the people will naturally be happy to serve. But in fact, if the county lord is like this, the people will fight to the death. After all, the Donglu will destroy the city and kill everyone!
Just as the eastern and western regions of Pingyuan County were watching the Donglu pass by in panic, a cavalry came from a distance, and the Ming Dynasty's official army came, and he sent a letter.
"Captain De actually came here!"
Surprisingly, Prince De did not obey the vassal system, not only led his troops, but also went outside the Pingyuan City. Li Shijie was shocked and admired the prince's courage. At this time, it was rare for generals and generals who could lead troops and protect the people, and there were no relatives who could protect the people.
"The prince actually wants to defeat the enemy outside the city!"
After everyone heard the news, they were all amazed.
As people from Pingyuan, don’t they know the reputation of the prince? When they consciously breathed a sigh of relief, Li Shijie became nervous.
What if the prince loses to the Eastern Barbarians and retreats into the city?
Should he let him in or not?
Then, Li Shijie didn't hear the news there anymore, and he couldn't see the battlefield more than ten miles away.
Almost half an hour later, a stunned scene happened - hundreds of Eastern Eagle cavalry escaped like headless flies, and behind them, dozens of cavalry were chasing them.
"This is..."
Li Shijie pointed outside the city and said something unscrupulously.
"Is this the Ming Dynasty official army?"
How could he be so brave?
The rural soldiers, yamen runners and civilians on the top of the city were all stunned and could not believe their eyes.
Is this really my Ming Dynasty official army?
This is too awesome!
Dozens of people dare to chase hundreds of Eastern Captains!
The Eight Banners soldiers who had been killed were now collapsed. After their master died in the formation and thousands of people were killed, they had no other thoughts in their minds. They didn't care about military laws or military laws, and just wanted to escape! The farther they escape, the better!
But the Ming army behind them kept chasing them, making them breathless. They had completely collapsed and did not dare to resist at all, nor even dared to turn back and shoot arrows, but just ran south with their heads in silence.
Such a scene completely overturned the consciousness of Pingyuan County. They could not believe that the Ming Dynasty's official army was so powerful, but the facts in front of them made them dare not disbelief!
Just as Pingyuan County was surprised when the government troops became so powerful, the rumbling sound of horse hooves suddenly woke up from Pingyuan County, which was guarding the city.
"Have the Donglu fought back again?"
The shocked Li Shijie shouted suddenly.
The Dian Li opened his eyes wide and looked at him:
"Huh, what is that?"
I saw a team of cavalry slowly walking towards Pingyuan County. The cavalry were holding big flags, either "Ming" or "De" written on the flags, and instantly the city wall became lively.
"It's our Ming Dynasty official army!"
"It's Prince De!"
"It's the prince!"
Pingyuan County is only more than one hundred miles away from Jinan, so they naturally know the name of Prince De's Fire God. Even if it weren't for the incoming time, they would rather escape to Jinan, at least there was Prince there!
They never dreamed that the prince not only arrived at the plain today, but also repelled the eastern enemy soldiers outside the city.
"The prince is mighty..."
Suddenly, people's shouts stopped abruptly - all of them stared at the cavalry outside the city in a daze.
The cavalrymen in red helmets and red armor were holding spears of about a 100-meter-long hands, and they were shockingly spears, and the spear was actually stuck in their heads!
wrong!
Not one, two, or even three heads!
Those bloody heads were inserted into the spear, and the blood from the broken shin of the head flowed along the gun rod to the hands of the lancers, leaving their hands red.
It would be fine if it was just a person holding a "big string" with his head strung like this, but what was even more shocking was that all the six or seven hundred riders were holding such a "big string" without exception.
Behind the heads on those big strings, a thin tail of money rat swayed gently, swaying left and right,
Such a terrifying scene is beyond everyone's imagination.
If it weren't for seeing the huge "Ming" character on the flag, I guess someone on the city wall would be scared to death. But even so, some people were still scared and their legs were trembling. They dared to speak again, but they just trembled all over and stared at the cavalry getting closer and closer.
What are they going to do?
He rode his horse to the city and shouted with Shi Weizhong beside the prince.
“Can Pingyuan County be there?”
The calm god Li Shijie responded quickly.
"I am the magistrate of Pingyuan, Li Shiyao, but I don't know if the city is Prince De?"
"I am the prince of Defan. Today I lead the palace guards and pass by Guixian. I never thought of encountering the Jiannu cavalry. Now Jiannu has been defeated by me. I have ordered people to cut off Jiannu's head, but there are still thousands of Jiannu's corpses outside the city."
The shocked look of the people on the city was all within his expectations. This was even why he used the spear left by the Qing army to make large "meat skewers". It was wrong, it was the "head skewers".
What you want is the effect that is astonishing as the whole world!
Of course, deep down, he wanted to use these brains to awaken the customs of the people and make them tough.
With the effect in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang laughed.
"Minister Li, Jiannu has now retreated, and Jiannu's corpse has been built into Jingguan by me, but the land has not yet been enfeoffed. Please ask Gaozhi County to send someone to pile up the corpses and build Jingguan, thinking that Jiannu is a police officer!"
People widened their eyes and listened to the prince's words, and suddenly someone cried on the city wall.
"Dad, mom, have you watched it. Let the prince avenge our family, let the prince avenge us..."
Suddenly, there was a crying sound on the city wall. At this moment, Zhu Guoqiang even felt that he had done something wrong, but when he saw the flashing fanaticism in the eyes of the people, he knew that he had done nothing wrong - after this pain venting, it would be accompanied by the burning of a fire of hatred, and it would be accompanied by... Of course, it would also be accompanied by some trouble!
trouble!
Even if there is trouble, what's the point!
Staring at the north, Zhu Guoqiang suddenly had this idea:
Chapter completed!
