The fire in Yongzhou City was extinguished by heavy rain, but most of Yongzhou City was turned into scorched earth, and there were countless casualties among the people in the city.
Fortunately, the border army has more experience and handles things very efficiently.
The military and civilians cooperated, and the main road was cleared within three days, and the affected people returned to the city for resettlement.
Qi Yuan stayed in the Futai Yamen to recuperate. Yongzhou City was full of plains and plains, and the people's grief was like a dark cloud hanging over Yongzhou City.
Yu Kaiping led the army to guard Yongguan. Yongguan is an important passage directly to Jizhou, but the narrow peaks on both sides of the Yongguan mountain road are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The border troops have explosives, so it is easy to break through Yongguan, but it is not easy to pass through the long and narrow passage.
However, if we take a detour, it will take several months to reach Jizhou due to the obstruction of mountains.
Therefore, Lin Jing did not lead the border troops south, but waited in Yongzhou for grenade supplies from the northern military factory.
After capturing Yongzhou, Yu Kaiping set fire to the city for comparison. In addition, Qi Yuan proclaimed the orthodox status of the new emperor, and the people of Yongzhou welcomed him extremely.
Many of the border troops were from Yongzhou. Now that Yongzhou was recaptured, Lin Jing arranged for the soldiers to return home to visit relatives. Therefore, Qi Yuan's reputation rose again and again with the efforts of the frontier army.
With the support of the common people, the supply route in the north has been much smoother, and the speed has naturally increased.
A large amount of supplies were sent to Yongzhou. Although the fire destroyed half of Yongzhou City, the border troops also dug out a lot of gold and silver from the underground of those wealthy households during the cleanup.
The aristocratic family who knew the current affairs also sent a lot of food, which gave Qi Yuan less to do when he was preparing to sharpen his sword.
The frontier army was well prepared with food, grass and equipment, and Lin Jing and Meng Ran led the troops south.
Lu Hu's surrendered cavalry has been dispersed and reorganized. Lu Hu is now serving under Zhu Wanyi as a surrendered general.
Zhu Wanyian was born with supernatural power and was a fierce general under Meng Ran, so he and Lin Zhi led 40,000 cavalry southward.
In the frontier army, General Lin Li was once the commander-in-chief of the army, followed by Meng Ran, the deputy general, and Cheng Caitai, his staff general.
Now that Meng Ran is the commander-in-chief of the border army, and Lin Jing is the military advisor, Cheng Caitai is arranged to stay in Yongzhou to clean up the remnants of the army, leading 40,000 troops to garrison Yongzhou, and is also responsible for delivering follow-up supplies to the border army.
The main force of the border army had already broken out of camp yesterday, so the city of Yongzhou is much quieter than before.
The terrain of Yongzhou is flat and the soil is fertile. It is now the time for spring plowing.
Therefore, Xu Mingyi, who took over the government affairs, was very busy.
Not many of the officials in Yongzhou City were attracted by Xu Mingyi, but fortunately, Wang Jinxing helped make use of the personal connections left over from the time when the second master of the Wang family was in office.
Xu Mingyi, on the other hand, recruited a lot of talents, but now he had no one to choose from.
It was only a matter of time before the frontier army's weapon strength captured Jizhou, so Qi Yuan finally had the energy to deal with the group of missionaries.
"888, how is the system research going?"
Qi Yuan felt soothed listening to the sound of rain hitting the banana trees.
Spring thunder bursts, and everything is very different after this spring rain.
888, who was directing Lin Li to make gunpowder to attack the city outside the pass, was happy looking at the gold, silver and grain in the warehouse.
The sudden greeting from Qi Yuan frightened it into confusion.
"Oh, it's so easy to use. It's so easy to use. I've already cleared all the levels in the north. It's really cold here. I used the points from this foreign system to exchange for a lot of food and weapons. I can even fight there. It’s like giving away the territory for free.”
888 sent Qi Yuan the map he drew of the area.
From its excited tone, it can be predicted that 888 is completely immersed in the joy of conquering the country at this time.
Qi Yuan filled in the blanks on the northern map and smiled.
You have to let 888 taste the sweetness before you can change.
I believe that 888, who is busy conquering cities and territories at the moment, can't think of anything that would cause trouble or cause the world to collapse.
“It’s severely cold in the north, so we can start to improve people’s livelihood through mining and manufacturing.
Be optimistic about Lin Li and pay attention to the changes in system tasks. The Mongols outside the pass asked them to stay outside for a while. "
Qi Yuan looked at the map, and the places under his fingertips were Changzhou and Wuzhou south of the Yangtze River.
"Okay big, no problem big!"
888 couldn't help but be overjoyed after receiving Qi Yuan's approval. He exchanged other people's points for props to give it free work to help it open up the country. After it managed the Northern Kingdom, it would be able to earn a lot of merit by handing it over to Dada.
Make a lot of money, make a lot of money!
888 gnawed on the dividends from his original investment and was in a good mood when he saw Lin Li, who was governing the Northern Kingdom.
"It's time to prepare the mines in the east, and it's time to breed the sweet potatoes for you. Don't leave me idle.
I'll give you a number, one year. If you can't complete the task within one year, I will praise you.
Quick and easy, if you look at any beautiful woman, your eyes will be dug out. Move, move, the ground in the northeast has not been conquered yet, if you delay any longer I will kill you! "
Lin Li felt the threat of 888 and once again became desperate and busy.
It turns out that the devil-level mission is not a quantifier but an adjective!
888's experiments on foreign systems also served as a reference for Qi Yuan.
Ye Chen and others gathered together, and their current strength in a prosperous land cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, to capture that group of people, it is not enough to attract and assassinate them. The strength of the army must also be improved.
Now is the time to officially ban the accounts and screen out some people to force them to take the initiative to kill them.
Qi Yuan took up his pen and wrote down the plans and drawings for calling in craftsmen to make muskets and artillery.
As soon as the ink dried, Xu Wenwu ran in staggeringly.
"Cousin, drink the medicine!"
Qi Yuan took the medicine, drank it in one gulp, and handed the plan to Xu Wenwu.
"Give the thing to your uncle and ask him to take care of it as soon as possible."
Xu Wenwu originally wanted to come to Qi Yuan to hide from his literary class for a while by delivering medicine, but he had to go do something before he sat down.
Thinking of his busy and somewhat irritable uncle, Xu Wenwu began to miss his Master Jing.
The extremely busy Xu Mingyi finally managed to sort out Yongzhou, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he had to get busy again.
They also stayed behind in Yongzhou, but Cheng Caitai had much more leisure time than him. After scanning the territory of Yongzhou, he returned to Yongzhou City.
It has been hundreds of years since the Cheng family moved to Yongzhou. Cheng Caitai was from Chang County, Yongzhou. When he first joined the army, it was a year of disaster. It was only when Mr. Wang came to Yongzhou to work in disaster relief that the family survived.
I originally planned to come back after serving as a general for four or five years, but who knew that it would be more than ten years after the border town fell.
When he left home, his mother was still in good health and his daughter was only four years old. Now, more than ten years later, her daughter must be seventeen.
When Cheng Caitai led the army to clear up the country, he passed by Chang County and went home to visit. However, when he arrived in Chang County, the only thing he saw was his mother's tomb.
Things have changed and people have changed. Now Cheng Caitai, who is alone, sits on the street and looks around. Although it is prosperous, he has nowhere to go.
The shop was destroyed. Although my son was injured in the fire, he managed to survive. The government also distributed disaster relief money and arranged accommodation. Therefore, although Qin Shuang had to take care of his son and his benefactor, his life was relatively easy.
Qin Shuang knew that the leaving army was the border army in the north, and that the head of the family was joining Lord Wang's garrison in Yongzhou.
At first, a message was sent that he was going north to transport grain, but there was no news after he left.
Qin Shuang has been asking for many days, but there is still no news.
Qin Shuang sighed and walked back with the medicine in his hand.
Cheng Caitai looked menacing with his beard, unlike his original look.
Therefore, Qin Shuang naturally found nothing based on his original appearance.
Qin Shuang was thinking about things, but she didn't notice the big man in black sitting on the steps next to her.
But Cheng Caitai, who was in a daze, was not blind.
Such a big woman walked past him. Although her appearance changed slightly, he still recognized her at a glance. He immediately jumped up and hugged Qin Shuang, crying loudly.
"Mother, I had such a hard time looking for you. Why didn't you leave me a message telling me where you were? When I went home, mother died. I thought you and Ping'er were gone too..."
Qin Shuang was first startled by the violent Cheng Caitai, and then realized when she heard a familiar voice.
The couple had been separated for many years, but they met like this.
As the saying goes, they are worthy of being a husband and wife. They hold their heads and cry, crying loudly!
Qin Ping, who was crying unintelligibly and came to look for someone, immediately took a pole and went up to give Cheng Caitai a blow.
Cheng Caitai felt the attack and reflexively protected his wife behind him and grabbed the pole with his backhand.
"Who doesn't have the guts to dare to sneak up on me..."
Cheng Caitai was furious, but he quickly let go after seeing the face that resembled Qin Shuang's when he was young.
"Ping'er?"
Cheng Caitai looked at his daughter and then saw his wife nodding, and then he couldn't help but come closer to look at his daughter.
"Daughter, I am Daddy. Daddy is back. Do you still know Daddy?"
After Cheng Caitai finished speaking, he remembered that his image had changed a lot.
"It's okay if you don't know her now. You'll know her when dad comes home and shaves off his beard. My daughter is so pretty."
As soon as Cheng Caitai was happy, he took his wife and daughter to return home.
But in the end, he did not return home. Instead, he came to the resettlement house for the victims and met his son and benefactor who was recovering from illness.
Qin Shuang found out that she was pregnant after Cheng Caitai left, but she lost the news of Cheng Caitai before she could write a letter to announce the good news. Later, when Mr. Wang died, the distant relatives of the Wu family in the county became domineering after Wu took office.
The Wu family's son fell in love with Qin Shuang, and there was no news about Cheng Caitai. His mother was beaten to death, and his five-year-old son was stunned when he hit his head.
Qin Shuang had no choice but to hide her name and run away overnight with her children. She was lucky enough to be alive today.
Cheng Caitai listened to Qin Shuang's story. After shaving, he showed a handsome face and hugged his wife and daughter to comfort him.
It also hurts to see my silly son.
"Damn dog officer! If I had known earlier, I should have begged His Majesty to let me slice him!"
Cheng Caitai was shaking with anger and yelled so loudly that Mo Shenyan, who woke up next door, was so frightened that he dropped his tea cup.
Cheng An was also frightened to the point of crying, with the same loud voice.
Cheng Caitai quickly coaxed people, and Qin Shuang also heard the noise and went to check on Mo Shenyan's condition.
"Is there something wrong with my benefactor?"
Mo Shenyan, dressed in plain clothes, cleaned the teacup and responded.
"It's okay, Mrs. Cheng, there's no need to worry."
Qin Shuang returned to the room after hearing Mo Shenyan's reply.
Cheng An had stopped crying and was having fun grabbing Cheng Caitai's whip.
"I am now working in your Majesty's hands. I have become a general and am now responsible for the city defense in Yongzhou City. You guys can live with me in the Yamen. I will go and beg your Majesty. Mr. Jing has found many famous doctors. Maybe Xiao An's illness can be cured. What about treatment?"
Qin Shuang knew that Cheng Caitai was now successful, so he would not object.
"That's your arrangement. It's just that Mr. Mo saved Xiao An. We have to repay this kindness."
Cheng Caitai nodded and went out, knocking on the door next door.
The soundproofing of the room was not good, so Cheng Caitai's "Your Majesty, Mo Shenyan" was heard clearly.
The people of Yongzhou suffered numerous casualties, and Mo Shenyan felt ashamed, so he wore plain clothes and refused to eat meat.
He was determined to join Master Xu and do something to atone for the sins of the people of Yongzhou, but he felt that he, a scholar, could not really do much.
In addition, he was once Yu Kaiping's staff, so he did not go there when Xu Mingyi was recruiting talents.
But he didn't expect that another opportunity would be in front of him now.
When Cheng Caitai saw Mo Shenyan, he felt familiar at first sight. This familiarity came from the familiarity he saw in Lin Jing.
They are one type of people, smart people.
Cheng Caitai and Mo Shenyan had a conversation and returned home happily with their families in the evening. Mo Shenyan also stood in front of Xu Mingyi.
So the anxious Xu Mingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Caitai is such a good person. He didn't forget to lighten his burden while he was on vacation.
With Mo Shenyan's help, Xu Mingyi devoted more energy to recruiting craftsmen with guns and artillery.
Weapons were sped up, and spring plowing was carried out successfully with the help of soldiers.
Qi Yuan, who was idle to recuperate, became the principal of the kindergarten.
Xu Wenwu and Cheng An practiced martial arts with Cheng Caitai, and became good friends over time. When Xu Wenwu had nothing to do, he took Cheng An to eat Qi Yuan's snacks.
Qi Yuan didn't mind if his little cousin came to stay away. After all, Xu Wenwu was very measured and could only stay for a while before bothering Xu Mingyi.
The news of the victory of the army has been sent back. Lin Jing and the others have arrived in Jizhou and started to attack the city.
The Battle of Jizhou begins, and Qi Yuan's plan can be implemented.
"Sister Fairy, the rules of the world have been patched~"
Xiaotuanzi hurriedly and slowly finally repaired the small world, but the world's heavenly law had dissipated, so Xiaotuanzi didn't just take over and just grab it.
Hey! Mine!
Fairy Sister has another gold brick in her merit pool.
"Then lock those foreign systems and block them all.
Borrowing Lin Li's system to spread the news, it was said that the Plane Management Bureau had discovered anomalies in the world, the world's heaven had revived, and the soul of the Son of Destiny was about to return.
I also plan to leave the mission world after capturing Kyoto. "
Qi Yuan, wearing light blue uniforms, looked at the newly built factory building in Yongzhou and smiled lightly.
Xiaotuanzi was fascinated by Qi Yuan's smile and wiped his head.
"Don't worry, Sister Fairy, I promise to lock them up tightly. I have also figured out the task release of the foreign system, and I will release the task information to them immediately.
Make sure none of those fools escape. "
The excited Tuanzi said that he immediately locked the systems of all the missionaries, and blocked all functions of the system after releasing the mission information.
"Ding~ The mission information has been updated."
Ye Chen and others who gathered on the bank of the Yangtze River all received the system message, and everyone who was working on their own gave Ye Chen a vague glance.
