In Xitong County, Guangnan Province, there are still guards on the streets guarding this poor county.
It is said that the people are poor because they are poor. Is the landlord Jiang's family that poor?
They are relatively wealthy, and even the local county government depends on the Jiang family for their livelihood.
There is a peaceful scene over Xitong County, and the halo is also shining on the county.
After his husband left, Chen Ziyuan stood up happily.
"Mom! What are you making delicious food tonight?" Chen Ziyuan looked towards the room over there with a smile on his face.
After experiencing what happened last time, Sun Chunxu went to the Yamen to get the marriage contract after careful consideration. From then on, Li Xiran was regarded as Sun Chunxu's nominal wife.
However, after that time, Li Xiran gradually understood that Chunxu did this just to preserve his reputation. Although they were husband and wife, they still slept in separate rooms as usual.
After hearing this, Xi Ran clapped her hands happily and walked towards Chen Ziyuan.
"What do you want to eat?"
"meat ball with soy sauce!"
This excited reply did not come from Chen Ziyuan, but from the fat Zheng Zhui.
After hearing this, Li Xiran smiled slightly, looked at Zheng Zhui with an excited smile, and agreed: "Okay."
Then, Li Xiran looked at the nine-year-old Chen Ziyuan in front of him with a smile on his face and said, "What delicious food do you want to eat?"
"Mom, I want to eat braised pork." Chen Ziyuan smiled.
"Okay, braised pork belly and braised lion's head, mom will cook them for you right now."
After speaking, Li Xiran walked towards the fire room. After taking a few steps, he was stopped by nine-year-old Chen Ziyuan.
"mother!"
After hearing Zi Yuan's shout, Xi Ran stopped, looked at Zi Yuan with a smile on his face, and said, "What else can I do?"
"Mom. I heard that Huguang has been hit hard recently. Will the fight come here?"
Chen Ziyuan, who was only nine years old, was a little worried. He was probably worried about the common people that his husband mentioned.
Since ancient times, in wars, the last victims are always the people.
Listening to Ziyuan's words, Li Xiran smiled slightly, touched Chen Ziyuan's head, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are far away here, so it won't happen."
Although the nine-year-old Ziyuan did not participate in the major events of the Mo Dynasty, he knew a little about the military strength of Huguang and the Mo Dynasty from his husband's words.
Listening to my mother's words, I thought about what my husband said earlier: Da Mo has an army of millions, and Qi State does not have as many people as Da Mo even if all the people are put together. The combat effectiveness is almost the same as ours.
"Yeah." Zi Yuan seemed to feel comforted.
However, the Mo Dynasty's army, which was currently engaged in a bloody battle, had been fighting with the Qi Kingdom for several days and nights.
"Damn! Why is the attack power of this opponent so powerful?" General Cen De spat.
"General, I heard that after the last battle, Qi State mobilized its troops vigorously and trained even more intensely. I'm afraid this situation is not good for us." General Zhang Tian shouted.
"I'm so afraid! We have an army of 600,000, and they also have 600,000. Do it!"
After saying that, I saw General Li Lian gritting his teeth, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, riding his horse, and killed towards the enemy.
After hearing this, General Cen De, whose face was stained with blood, cursed loudly: "Damn it! Six hundred thousand, I think there are more than six hundred thousand on the other side! Whether we live or die today depends on this battle!"
After shouting, General Cen De, whose face was covered in blood, tightly held the sword in his hand and shouted: "Drive!"
Then he rushed away quickly.
After seeing the general Zhang Tian on the other side, he sighed and looked at the soldiers in front who were fighting fiercely. They gritted their teeth and fought together.
Outside the gate of Jiangjing Mansion, there were corpses everywhere. The Qi army that originally numbered more than 800,000 people was now more than half in ruins, with only more than 400,000 people left.
However, there are now only 200,000 people left among the more than 600,000 people in the three main forces in the three provinces, who are said to have the fighting power of tigers and leopards.
Judging from this number alone, the enemy army can be considered a victory.
However, the Mexican army was not afraid at all and had no intention of withdrawing. They fought fiercely with the enemy army.
Both forces were unwilling to admit defeat. They mustered up their courage and picked up their machetes and swords and swung them at the enemy.
…
"Shang Shu, has the money in the treasury increased today?" Su Yunqi, the prime minister of the left, looked at Cen Wenxing, the minister of household affairs, with a smile on his face.
Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out and smiled slightly: "Since the mansion was raided a few days ago, a total of more than 100,000 taels of silver have been found. The jewelry items converted into silver totaled 21,300 taels. In addition, the national treasury has 64,000 taels. Two, now totaling three hundred and seventy thousand, seven hundred taels.”
Hearing this news, Prime Minister Zuo Yunqi felt a little happy. He did not expect that the national treasury would increase by 300,000 taels in just a few days. He had to be happy with his idea.
However, upon hearing the news, the other courtiers were all happy, but those who had their property confiscated were not happy.
"Prime Minister Zuo." Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, walked out.
Seeing Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, standing up and looking at him with an unconvinced expression, Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, was also expecting this.
"The treasury didn't have enough money, so we ordered the mansions of our ministers to be confiscated to serve as the treasury. Prime Minister Zuo, I wonder what mistake we made?" Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, said with a look of dissatisfaction.
Although Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, knew that he had done many bad things over the years, he was very dissatisfied when he thought that the money had returned to the treasury in the end, as he was worried every day.
Seeing the face of Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, didn't know how to answer. He smiled slightly: "You know exactly what you did. It is a great favor to you that the emperor did not remove you from your post. Minister Ding, don't be stubborn. , proceed with caution.”
Listening to the words of Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, the other ministers who had their mansions confiscated wanted to stand up and defend themselves, but after hearing this, these ministers stopped.
"How is the war going now?" Su Yunqi, Prime Minister Zuo, asked with concern.
Suddenly, no matter whether they didn't hear or for some reason, none of the ministers answered.
Until Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, shouted again: "Grand Governor Du Antong."
"The official is here!"
The Grand Governor Du Antong hurried out and bowed.
"How is the battle going?" Su Yunqi, Prime Minister Zuo, asked again.
"Back to Prime Minister Zuo, the main forces of the three provinces have arrived at Jiang Jing Mansion. They are still fighting and have been fighting for several days. Troops from other provinces are rushing there." Governor Du Antong reported truthfully.
After hearing this, Su Yunqi said expressionlessly: "Okay."
After the court, Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, walked to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, who had not found out the cause for several days, was very unconvinced after hearing those words in the court today.
Seeing the unhappy face of Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, smiled slightly, walked up, and asked, knowingly: "Ding Shangshu, why are you here like this?"
"Prime Minister Zuo. I am already forty-nine this year. I am almost fifty and have been an official for more than twenty years. If the Prime Minister Zuo is dissatisfied with the performance of a subordinate, Prime Minister Zuo can just dismiss the subordinate."
Hearing what Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, who usually supported him so much, Su Yunqi, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his face, and looked at Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, with a surprised expression.
"Ding Shangshu, I have never thought that you have done anything wrong. I have no intention of dismissing you. How could Ding Shangshu think that I am dissatisfied with you?"
"Prime Minister Zuo, I have been supporting Prime Minister Zuo all the way since he took office. Why did Prime Minister Zuo send people to search my family background?" At this point, Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, was already furious.
"Ding Shangshu, you have misunderstood the truth. The truth did not mean to search your mansion, it was all His Majesty's intention." Su Yunqi, the prime minister of the left, told a lie.
After listening to what Zuo Prime Minister Su Yunqi said, Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, seemed to think that he had wrongly blamed Zuo Prime Minister Su Yunqi, so he turned around and said: "I'm going to talk to the emperor to reason with you."
After finishing speaking, he had just taken a few steps when he was grabbed by Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left.
"Ding Shangshu, don't be impulsive." Su Yunqi, the prime minister of Zuo, said.
After hearing this, Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, turned around and looked at Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, with a confused look on his face.
"Ding Shangshu, your Majesty has only raided your mansion. He has not taken away your property or removed your official position. If you go, your Majesty will be angry and you will lose this opportunity to become an official. Still. Don't go." Su Yunqi, Prime Minister Zuo, said with a slight smile.
Later, Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, said again: "What should I do with the stolen money? I spent all my hard work to get it."
Seeing that Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, was so distressed about the silver, Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, smiled slightly and patted Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, on the shoulder: "Ding Shangshu, if you lose your silver, you can make it again. If you lose it, you can find it again." It's difficult. Your Majesty has not removed you from your official position, so you should stop thinking about it and just be your Minister of Rites."
After hearing this, the anxious heart of the Minister of Rites calmed down. He looked into the eyes of Prime Minister Zuo Yunqi and responded: "Thank you, Prime Minister Zuo, for reminding me."
Seeing that Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, did not give any more instructions, Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, saluted and said, "I will take my leave."
After that, Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and walked towards the Ministry of Rites.
At this moment, the Qi army and the Zhumo Dynasty army were fighting fiercely outside Jiang Jing Mansion on the border of Huguang.
On the battlefield, gunpowder smoke billowed and blood dripped everywhere.
Two generals of the Mo Dynasty army have sacrificed their lives, and now only the leader, General Cen De, remains.
At this time, he was injured and had a cut and a wound on his leg, but he still held the sword tightly in his right hand, and the beard on his face was stained with blood.
"His grandma's! Who said there are only 600,000 troops on the other side? I don't think there are more than 600,000!"
"General, that's what General Li said." Qianhu replied.
Seeing that there are only a few dozen of your own people left in front of you, while the enemy still has more than a hundred thousand troops, what should you do?
Seeing such a scene, General Cen De hesitated.
"If you go up like this, you will die. Get out!"
"withdraw!"
Seeing General Cen De withdraw, Mo Chao's soldiers stopped fighting and ran over.
General Zende retreated very quickly on a horse.
Seeing the retreat on the other side, the Qi army stopped.
"General Guo! Can we pursue you?" A small soldier asked General Guo Zhentian, who was riding on a horse and covered in blood.
General Guo raised his head, looked at the scene in front of him, and gritted his teeth: "Chase!"
After saying that, he looked at the archer aside: "Give me the bow and arrows!"
The archer obediently gave him the quiver and bow.
After General Guo took it, he hurriedly drew an arrow, just like bending a bow to shoot a big eagle, and shot the arrow directly towards the seriously injured General Cen De of Mo Chao who was riding a fast horse.
General Mo Chao's body suddenly seemed to have lost power and he fell off his horse, while the horse was still running quickly.
"General! General!" the only Qianhu ran over in a hurry.
"This battle... I, General... am ashamed of Your Majesty... I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." After saying this, General Cen De passed away.
"General! General!" Seeing this, the Qianhu family also shed tears and hugged General Cen and shook him violently.
However, General Cen had died and could not open his eyes again.
Just as the thousands of households were about to carry the general on their backs and evacuate, an arrow with no eyes shot towards them, killing them.
