The defending army was retreating steadily, and Jiankang City was about to fall.
At this time, even the Jiankang citizens, no matter how insensitive to current affairs, finally realized the terrifying danger and began to flee Jiankang City frantically.
The public security order in the city has completely collapsed. Roadblocks, robberies, home invasions, and shootings for a few survival supplies have made the city almost a living hell.
Since the army that was supposed to be responsible for maintaining public security was suppressed by the human wave tactics of the clone troops on the opposite side, the families who had no time to take care of them could only retreat and defend themselves. At the same time, they continued to send out heavily guarded transport teams to rush the remaining supplies and manpower.
Transported to ferries and underground channels.
Most of these convoys were intercepted by illegal armed elements. Many of them were driven by the Liyang army to use violence and were forced or took the initiative to join the attack. They included ordinary militiamen or mercenaries, as well as some aristocratic families who defected to the enemy.
stranger.
The entire Jiankang City was in chaos at this time. No one could tell whether the other side was an enemy or a friend, so when they encountered each other, they mostly pointed guns at each other, or even shot the opponent directly to fight back. No place is absolutely safe.
.
Except for the entrance of the underground network channel located on the south side of Xuanwu Lake.
The old Jiankang City Wall is located near Xuanwu Lake. It was originally a stronghold used to resist Cao Wei in the north in ancient times. Now it has become a pure landscape. There is an entrance to the underground network under it, which is usually used to transport materials to Taicheng.
Now that Taicheng has been completely evacuated, the Cheng and Xing families use it as a transportation point to evacuate people from Jiankang City to Jingkou.
At first, invitation lists were only issued to some private enterprises with professional titles or highly educated talents. Later, as their reputations gradually spread, a large number of nearby Jiankang citizens came with their families. The underground network also accepted all comers and made unified arrangements.
Enter the underground passage.
An area almost 2 kilometers away from the ground entrance has been opened up as a temporary resettlement area, including tents, camp beds and temporary toilets, etc., to accommodate those Jiankang citizens who cannot be taken away in time because of insufficient transportation capacity.
When the Li family of Longxi evacuated a few days ago, through Li Qingwan's arrangement, they donated a large amount of grain and oil supplies and placed them here, so the refugees were not in danger of starvation.
It was just that the underground network and pipes were dim, and everyone could only wait quietly, unable to do anything. Among them, the women and children couldn't help crying, and there were suppressed cries all around.
Almost every two or three minutes, a subway train arrives and sends away the people at the front of the queue in order of number plates.
A patrol team composed of Beifu Army soldiers wearing searchlight helmets patrolled back and forth between the train area and the resettlement area, ready to kill desperate or mentally disturbed rioters at any time.
"Yes, it's very good." Cheng Jinyang patrolled from beginning to end and couldn't find any faults. "It's really reassuring to leave it to you."
"My lord has a kind heart, and his subordinates admire him very much." Wang Changshi took the lead and thanked the chief secretary for following him, and all the shogunate officials started to compliment him one after another.
Rationally speaking, they do not agree with Cheng Jinyang's decision. After all, Jingkou is already overcrowded, where are the resources to support these people?
However, from an emotional point of view, as long as Jingkou can hold on in the short term, whether these citizens stay or transfer to Lin'an in the future, and cooperate with the corresponding public opinion propaganda, they will bring a lot of political reputation to Cheng Jinyang.
Exchanging long-term public opinion and moral advantages at the expense of short-term increased burdens is not a decision-making mistake. At most, it can only be regarded as a choice.
But more importantly, making such a choice itself means that Cheng Jinyang no longer considers the interests of a clan or a town, but thinks based on the higher level of "fighting for the world"... To put it in detail,
It's very thought-provoking.
"Lord," Xie Youdu reported in the simple conference room, "The Longxiang Army has set off this morning, and the Feixiong Army has joined forces to advance from the west to Gushe. At the same time, the Xiaoqi Army also mobilized its main force to move up the river, and the Jingkou garrison has already moved towards Gushe at noon.
We reported the situation."
"The king of Qin from all directions is about to begin." Cheng Jinyang sighed, "Oh, we really can keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight!"
Everyone was speechless.
If you think about it carefully, what he said is indeed correct.
Everyone is fleeing for their lives, but we, the Beifu Army, are standing in the dangerous situation to help transport people. Isn't this "keeping the clouds clear"?
When King Qin's army comes to quell the rebellion, rewards will be given based on merit afterward. The Beifu Army's contribution is also certain. Isn't it "seeing the moonlight"?
It's true, but coming from this person's mouth, I don't know why I feel disdainful...
After quickly suppressing the sense of disobedience in their minds, everyone started to praise again, and the meeting room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
After the meeting, Cheng Jinyang left the shogunate here to preside over the work and rushed back to Jingkou to find the girls.
Now there is no need to stay in Jiankang anymore. The high-level monsters have withdrawn one after another. The two princesses have begun to cover the escape of the citizens. Next, they only need to wait for the troops of King Qin from all directions to invade Jiankang and completely pacify the rebels.
When we returned to Jingkou Admiral's Mansion, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
After having a hasty dinner in the cafeteria, he returned to the bedroom and saw Miss Wang still lying on the bed, looking in the mirror intoxicatedly.
Xing Yunzhi and Cui Jinqi glared at each other and scolded each other, while Chu Qingqing stood next to him in a strange and angry manner, trying his best to fight, hoping that the two of them would fight immediately.
Yang Wangshu hid behind Xing Yuanzhi and typed taunts, helping her sister Ah Zhi to fight back, but was chased by Qingqing to grab the mask.
Zheng Qiupei was so busy trying to break up the fight that he looked like he was about to cry. Li Qingwan and Lu Qingyun, on the other hand, couldn't get a word in at all and could only stand aside in embarrassment, at a loss.
Looking at the scene of the Shura scene filled with the smell of gunpowder, Cheng Jinyang couldn't help but feel that the flesh on his waist began to hurt again.
There is no way, if you want peace in the harem, you have to make sacrifices. If I am not the target of this firepower, who should be? We can't let them continue to attack each other like this.
"I'm back, everyone." He closed the door and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you quarreling again? Don't quarrel all the time. Can't we all love each other? If there are any conflicts, I can help you mediate...
…”
Then Miss Qingqing threw her down on the bed and tied her up with metal ropes.
"Okay!" Miss Qingqing clapped her hands cleanly, "The person involved is here too."
"Then ask him!" Xing Yunzhi said with squinting eyes, "Ask him whether he was not allowed to stay in the stronghold that day because he was seriously injured and could not go out, or did I forcibly restrict his personal freedom?"
"It's true as you said, then why didn't you even make a call?" Cui Jinqi continued to question.
"There is no communication network coverage in the underground stronghold." Xing Yunzhi said indifferently.
"Does anyone believe what you say?" Cui Xiaoniang was disdainful.
“Otherwise?”
"Don't think that I don't know that you have searched for my traces! And you told the Xing clan leader..." she said angrily, "What's the difference between calling a parent for fighting with a child like this?"
"Pfft." Cheng Jinyang couldn't help but laugh out loud. Ah Zhi was so anxious that she even scolded herself.
However, the next second, Chu Qingqing pulled his head into his arms, covered his mouth and said:
"Shut up!"
Cheng Jinyang:?
This soft feeling...yes, it must be Qingqing's close-fitting liquid metal layer.
