The whole Zhao family set themselves on fire. After the resistance failed and Zhao Wenwu, the fifth ancestor of the Zhao family, also failed, the contemporary head of the Zhao family, Zhao Ansheng, led the few hundred remaining Zhao family members in the city to set themselves on fire at their ancestral home.
Shrouded in the sky over the entire Bian'an County, it has controlled the people of Bian'an County generation after generation, and the family in front is the Heyue Zhao family!
The curtain came to an end, turning into the dust of history and dissipating in the long river of time.
The Ping Japanese Army resumed its march forward.
They have been delayed here long enough, and they have already done everything they should do here.
After all, Li Dingguo didn't drink Song Deren's wine. Due to the Zhao family's previous actions, the entire Heyue City was almost reduced to ruins, and most of the men in the city went to the battlefield and became cannon fodder.
There are only one orphan and widower left in the city, and there are problems with the operation of the entire Heyue City.
Although they were the ones who killed the person, the two sides had different positions at the time, so neither Song Deren nor Li Dingguo felt that what they did was wrong.
Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to one's brothers.
The Japanese army took over Heyue City, and the largest city in Bian'an County entered a period of military control. Before the arrival of the new county governor sent by the imperial court, Song Deren was the top official here.
As for the original governor of Bian'an County, how could the Zhao family let anyone else take the post? The original governor, Zhao Guangyi, was the second wife of the Zhao family and became the head of the county with the support of the Zhao family.
What's funny is that Zhao Guangyi was at the base of the city wall when he defended the city.
Of course, that's not what he wanted to do. In that case, all the Zhao family members went, so he had to go.
After the Japanese-defeating army broke through the city, this guy actually wanted to surrender, but the soldiers of the Japanese-defeating army saw that he must be a big fish in luxurious clothes and cut off his head directly for military merit.
Even the white donkey he was riding on was killed and eaten.
Later, a certain officer who still praised the Japanese army recognized Zhao Guangyi's head when he saw it.
But as a result, Bian'an County was left without a county guard. Song Deren, who was about to retreat after wiping out the Zhao family, could only stay temporarily to manage Heyue City. He reported the situation to the court and requested the court to mobilize a new county guard as soon as possible. .
As for those new scholars who came with the Japanese army, they were not experienced enough and qualified to serve as county guards.
The two agreed that when Li Dingguo arrives in the capital next time, Song Deren will treat him to a drink and he will not return drunk.
Li Dingguo laughed at him for being naughty, and it was clear that he just didn't want to invite him.
The Ping Japanese army left, with 13,000 cavalry and 7,000 infantry...
Oh no!
In the siege battle just now, the infantry losses were not small. Although they were covered with iron armor, they would not be killed.
More than 400 infantrymen died in the siege battle just now. Most of them died from gold juice, rolling logs, and rocks while climbing the city wall. There was no choice.
Nearly 20,000 people left slowly. Song Deren who was bidding farewell did not turn back to the city until he saw that the flag of the Japanese army had completely disappeared.
He has a lot of things going on right now. The entire Heyue City is in dire straits due to the Zhao family's chaos. Now he has to come to this temporary acting county governor to do everything.
…
Daxing County.
"Lord County Lord! I heard about it! I heard about it!"
In the yamen, He Xini, the current magistrate of Daxing County, who was so busy that he wanted to split himself in half, suddenly showed joy, quickly put down his work, and took the initiative to greet the voice.
He had just walked to the door and someone rushed in. A closer look revealed that this person was not his master, but who was he?
"Zhenghong, what exactly did you find out? Why are you in such a hurry?"
He Xini quickly supported his master and asked immediately.
However, I heard the master whose cousin was named Zhenghong cry and say with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, the Japanese army has left!"
"Let's just leave. Doesn't this county want to keep them for food? What! The Ping Japanese Army is gone! What about our people? Where are the 200,000 miners? Have they come back yet?"
At first, He Xini didn't really care. He waved his hands and thought, this little thing is worth making a fuss about.
But the next moment he immediately realized what this meant, so he hurriedly asked.
The master said with a mournful face: "County Lord! It's gone! It's gone! It's all gone!"
None of the soldiers were left for us, they were all taken away.
According to the people we sent over to inquire about the news, it was like a great transformation of living people. Two hundred thousand people disappeared without seeing the sky.
By the time the Ping Japanese army left Bian'an County, there would be no one left! "
"What the hell is going on!"
After hearing this, He Xini's head felt dizzy, and his vision went dark, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the master reacted quickly and hurriedly supported him and helped him sit down on a stool aside.
After waiting for a while, He Xini weakly raised his hand and said:
"Quick! Quick! Send a message to the court quickly and ask the Ping Japanese Army to return our people.
If these 200,000 people are gone, we in Daxing County will really have to start all over again!
If your county respects me, I will definitely have to finish the evaluation in three years!
Yaoshou! Why are there still people robbing everyone?
Oh my God! Wuwuwu..."
…
On the border between Bian'an County and Subei County.
"Hey, Lao Li, all those 200,000 people have been sent away in batches through the trading bank.
They are one step ahead of us, and may have reached Subei County by now. "
Riding on his horse, Zuo Hui smiled and said to Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo nodded slightly and then said: "That's good. Did the spies sent by Daxing County notice where we sent the people?"
When Zuo Hui heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Those spies have no skills at all. I didn't find any secret guards. I found a few people to put drugs in their food and drink every time we sent them away." , when they wake up, our people will have already sent them away, they know it!"
"That's good, from now on we will all have the same caliber.
No matter who asks, those 200,000 people ran away on their own. Where did they go? have no idea.
Understand? "
"Hey, don't worry about this, I know what to do."
Zuo Hui agreed with a smile, and then he said: "We are about to enter Subei County. How much do you know about the subsequent journey arrangements and the information about the target counties?"
Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "I know the schedule. We just walk along the seaside. There will be a ship from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce to transport supplies for us. We don't have to worry about food and supplies.
As for the news about the counties where Japanese people are lurking, I don’t have specific information yet.
But the secret guards are already collecting them.
A few days ago, the secret guard leader of Subei County came to me and told me that within three days at most, the secret guards should have information back.
It will be sent to me naturally when the time comes. "
Zuo Hui nodded: "That's good. By the way, as for these Japanese people, how did they offend the prince? Why did the prince tell us so many times before we left that he would kill them all without leaving any survivors? He also specifically asked us to finish speaking. Cut off all their heads?”
“I don’t know about this, but since the prince has asked, we will do it.
As for cutting off the head, I heard the prince say that it seems to be some kind of god that the Japanese believe in. As long as the head is cut off, the reincarnation cannot be reincarnated.
Therefore, the Japanese are most afraid of having their heads chopped off. "
Zuo Hui suddenly realized: "So that's it. Your Majesty even knows this. It's really amazing!"
"Nonsense, otherwise why is the prince the prince, and you are Zuo Hui?"
"Uh...Old Li.
Listening to your words is really like listening to your words! "
