Chapter 528: Changsheng, what have you forgotten?
Hundreds of thousands of Japanese people have left their families behind.
No matter who hears such terrifying and huge information, it is really unbelievable. After all, massacre of a city has been heard of, but basically no one has heard of massacre of all the people in a country.
Many people have confirmed the authenticity of the news. The fast horses inquiring about information are spreading from Luyang to the east. However, no one will lose sleep because all the Japanese were slaughtered. It has nothing to do with them anyway. I just want to know more than others, so that I can have more to talk about after dinner than others.
In Luyang, Xia Houyuan, who was the first to learn the news, was walking in the front yard of the prefecture's mansion with his hands behind his back. Listening to the clan brother behind him talking about the information about the conquest of the Japanese country, he stopped. For such a Information, he felt it was unusual.
"The Japanese are good at naval warfare. Your Majesty has been preparing for these years, and there are many naval warfare generals around you. The Japanese have lost their advantage at sea and are no match for them on land. There is nothing surprising about such a defeat."
"Your Majesty personally, and With so many generals, it's hard for the Japanese to have justice." As one of the Chinese generals, Xiahou Dun was quite arrogant, just like when he was a close and trusted general to Cao Cao, especially when facing the natives of this world.
In the past few years, my arrogance has become more and more swollen, probably because I feel that the Huaxia family has repeatedly won in this world, and as a member of the Huaxia, he is not bad at all.
One day, he will wash away his reputation of repeated defeats.
The brothers talked for a while in the mansion, and Xu Huang and Zhang He came over and asked them to go to Linjun together to welcome the emperor's triumphant return.
The strategy of leaving the island but not the people and the news of the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Japanese have spread in Yuezhou, Wuzhou, and even Xiliang and Bingzhou.
After much thought, Li Ru took reading and understanding as his governance policy and cultivated young talents for Xia Guoduo who could read and write.
“It’s time to go back.”
For the past three years, Li Ru has been entrusted by the emperor to operate here. This place is barren and mountainous. It is not like Liangzhou, which is located in an important road, and it is not like the Central Plains. The terrain is generally gentle with a lot of cultivated land, and it is not as close to the sea as Wuzhou and Yanzhou.
Dong Zhuo was lying on the Taishi chair with the old god present, wiping the serrated knife and humming a little tune.
Dong Bai pushed his father's arm angrily, "You can't pretend not to know!"
"Of course I have to go. As the generals of the Central Plains, how can we not come out to greet the emperor. "
"Dad, guess what good news my daughter has brought you." Then, Dong Bai kicked off his exquisite pony boots, walked out of the corner of the corridor, trotted to the figure on the Taishi chair and squatted down, holding his hands Lying on the armrest of the Taishi's chair, she winked at Dong Zhuo with her beautiful eyes.
Standing on the top of the mountain, looking back at the rolling desolate mountains behind me, "Go to a tribe, and if you don't count the number of people, I will dig up their graves!"
"Drive! Drive!" !”
"Dad started lecturing people again." Dong Bai covered his ears with his hands and shook his head repeatedly: "If you don't want to listen, you bastard is chanting sutras!"
"Dad!"
The sunshine in the courtyard shines As the shadows of the trees moved slowly, a slim girl came back from outside with a smile.
“Can you hide it from dad?”
In Bingzhou, the sky was gloomy and drizzle began. The roads were muddy and slippery. An old man walked through the country road in embarrassment on crutches. , I fell down on the way and was covered in muddy water and mud spots.
Li Jue came in from outside, and as soon as he asked this question, he saw Dong Zhuo's expression turned ugly, and he quickly coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
"Yes, Prefect." The driver, wearing a bamboo hat, waved his whip, drove the green ox pulling the cart, slowly turned in one direction, and headed back to Xinxiang City.
The news of the war against the Japanese continues to ferment.
He has completed half of the recruitment of soldiers.
Immediately, he waved to the soldiers behind him dejectedly, led the horses, and continued to move forward to the next tribe.
In Lin County in the Central Plains, the sky was bright and the fields were full of green. Smoke and dust came from the distance at the end of the road. Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun, Zhang He and Xu Huang led a group of tiger and leopard cavalry to gallop across the official road.
In the distance, Li Ru was sitting in the carriage, lifting the curtain and looking at the scene in the rain.
On the morning of July 17th.
"You know something and pretend not to know it, you have ulterior motives!" Dong Zhuo enjoyed his daughter's coquettishness. He tapped his finger on the girl's nose, "In the future, if you meet a boy, if he knows it but deliberately pretends not to please you. , then you have to keep your eyes open."
A few knights walking through the rain came to the side and stopped. They were all pedestrians on their way. They got off their horses and helped the old man up, and then asked each other to ride together. The tea shop in front provides shelter from the rain.
"Who the bastard is chanting sutras!"
It was Dong Bai, the daughter Dong Zhuo adopted back then. After guarding Liangzhou, he wrote a letter asking Su Chen to help send mother and daughter over.
"When is the end, I also want to fight, and I can win the war!"
In the last two of the three years, Bingzhou accounted for the majority of the students who went to Yanjing to take the exam Forty percent.
I came to the port here early to wait. When I arrived, I saw Qi Jiguang and Lu Meng first, drinking tea and chatting in Zhenhai Division.
Nowadays, in Bingzhou, the literary world is flourishing here.
With the lack of troops, Dong Zhuo set his sights on the tribes in Liangzhou.
He had a faint smile on his face.
Dong Zhuo glanced at his daughter sideways and blew the dust on the handle of the knife. "It's nothing more than news of your majesty's triumphant return."
Soon, he discussed with Dong Zhuo that he had changed the clan name. The Qiang tribe recruited soldiers.
After three years of recuperation in Liangzhou, there is also the trade route between the Western Regions and the Central Plains. In addition to the relatively low population, the people here are living a relatively prosperous life.
Liangzhou tribal soldiers have extremely high physical fitness and are natural recruits for soldiers from Xiliang. In the past three years, the original soldiers in the army retired and returned to farming when they reached the age limit set by the emperor. , or accept the appointment of the imperial court, go to teach in local schools, or go to the Yamen to work as a policeman, jailer and other leisure and profitable errands.
The one who recruited tribal soldiers was Anlu Mountain, who had a good relationship with these tribes. In recent months, he led his soldiers through mountains and rivers through various mountains in Liangzhou.
Xia Houyuan said with a smile, and then returned to the backyard with his brother Xiahou Dun, washed up, and changed into luxurious clothes. After coming out, he led his troops out with Zhang He and Xu Huang, who had been waiting for a long time. Yang, rush east to Linjun.
An Lushan rubbed his fat belly and just cheered up to say something harsh, then he let out a long and depressed sigh.
When Dong Zhuo first took office, he made an agreement with each tribe. Three years later, he would start recruiting troops from each tribe.
Seeing the Xiahou brothers, Qi Jiguang invited them to sit down and talk. When asked why he and Lu Meng came here first, Qi Jiguang smiled while stroking his beard and explained.
"Of course the emperor's guard of honor cannot walk in front. General Lu and I will come back first and decorate the place first."
"That's it."
Xia Houyuan didn't either After further questioning, he and his clan brother went to the outskirts to station. The next day, they were invited by Zhenhai Si Yamen officials to rush to the port.
Not long after, the Emperor's treasure ship came slowly from the sea, and more than 20 large cargo ships docked together. Once the hatches on both sides were opened, and they were placed on the ferry bridge, teams of horses jumped from inside. out.
At this time, there were still many people joining in the fun. Suddenly, they heard the violent vibration of horse hooves, spreading towards this direction, and the crowded crowd suddenly became restless.
When they reacted, the cavalry team that was approaching was already in their sight. Seeing these cavalry, the people around them excitedly shouted the names of the people among them. When they saw relatives in the team, they waved their hands even more happily. .
The armor on these cavalrymen is covered with knife marks and mottled marks from gun hangers. At a glance, one can feel that the battle against Japanese pirates is not as easy as imagined in the rumors.
The cavalry disembarked first and left. Su Chen stood on the treasure ship and looked at the gradually empty streets before turning around and disembarking.
"Let, the late general go first!!" After getting on the ancestral coffin, Su Chen heard that he was asked to leave first in the car. Su Chen gave a calm order through the car curtain, which made Liu Sheng outside stunned and reacted. After that, they rushed to the other two ships.
Soon, the people waiting for the emperor's guard of honor on the street were muttering why they hadn't come yet, until someone shouted: "Here we come!"
Then Another voice said: "Why are they soldiers? What are they holding in their arms?"
"That is the spiritual box containing the fallen soldiers."
Some people who knew about it said something in the crowd, and the people who had been speaking loudly gradually became silent. They stood under the eaves of the street one by one. Their original mood to watch the excitement suddenly sank, looking at the hundreds of soldiers. The soldiers, each holding a wooden box containing ashes in their arms, walked past them.
In the past, I would probably have been scolded for being unlucky.
But no one spoke at the moment, and some people were even kneeling on the ground. Some of their relatives died at the hands of Japanese pirates. Now that the Japanese pirates have been wiped out, the soldiers who were conquered were put in wooden boxes and brought back.
The farmers, traders, and even the Jianghu people on the street lowered their heads at this moment. They had no reason to blaspheme the soldiers who died for the people.
The human heart is made of flesh. At this moment, many people began to sob.
"God damn the Japanese... you will not die in peace!"
"Your Majesty is right to slaughter them!"
"If I were ten years younger, I would still go to the battlefield!"< br>
Amidst the impassioned denunciations, the emperor's guard of honor finally drove into the street from the harbor. Soldiers from the Huwei camp, holding long halberds and wearing heavy armor, walked neatly in front of them to clear the way. From time to time, they made the sound of gold and iron clashing and rubbing. sound.
In the middle of the procession was the huge ancestral hearse. Unfortunately, the curtains were lowered so that the people on the street could not see the dragon's face inside.
Afterwards, the honor guard left the city and was greeted by Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun who led Xu Huang and Zhang He forward to the side of the ancestral hearse and handed over their hands.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Su Chen opened the door curtain of the car, got out of the car and held the hands of the four people with his own hands.
“The generals are guarding important places in the Central Plains and have important responsibilities, so there is no need to come here in person.”
“Haha, it’s mainly because I haven’t seen your Majesty and the generals for so long!”
After Zhang He came here, apart from being a little scared when he saw Lian Nu, his temper also became cheerful. He belonged to the Qingzhou Army and had a few words with the generals of other dynasties.
Even Xiang Yu later was able to come up and talk.
Xiang Yu, who had always been arrogant and disdainful, was not happy to be approached like this.
Due to Su Chen's face, he still nodded to the other party in a friendly manner, and then rode away to another place. This overlord of Western Chu, in Su Chen's place, could come and go so casually.
On the contrary, Lu Bu had almost no good feelings towards the generals of Cao Wei back then. If we talk about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they could at least fight alone, which was slightly worse. However, the generals of Cao Wei just pressed forward in a swarm and added more I was killed by Cao Wei in Baimen Tower, and I really didn't like him.
"It's been a long time since I last saw you. I wonder if General Zhang is still afraid of Lian Nu now?" Lu Bu did not hesitate to joke. Seeing Zhang He's defeat, he laughed loudly and rode after Xiang Yu.
Here, Su Chen also smiled, said a few words of relief, and then ordered Xia Houyuan and the others to clear the way ahead. On the way, Su Chen called Xia Houyuan to the ancestral hearse and asked about the affairs of the Central Plains, such as whether the fertile land in the hands of the army sergeants had been tricked and annexed.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Although there are many aristocratic families in the Central Plains, they are not more powerful than sharp swords. When Your Majesty used the sword in Luyang, the aristocratic families in the counties of the Central Plains are still living in fear. If they dare to attack the soldiers' families, I don’t need to wait for His Majesty to know, I will behead them first to show them to the public!”
As the ancestral coffin moved slowly, Su Chen’s eyes stayed on the ‘Shen Xing’ general! After a moment, he nodded.
“With General Xiahou in charge of the Central Plains, I feel relieved.”
Xia Houyuan raised his hands respectfully.
Along the way, the two had a simple duel, and Su Chen also briefly sorted out the government affairs that were not in the Xia Kingdom during this period.
After all, he is the emperor. If he doesn’t know anything about local government affairs, then his role as emperor will be in vain.
On July 22nd, the emperor's slowly marching guard of honor had just entered Luyang.
The news of the emperor's triumphant return and his intention to enter Luyang had already spread. The Luyang Order, who was the first to know, was so nervous that he couldn't sleep well for two days in a row.
In such an atmosphere, everyone in the government offices in the city was nervous. Every day, police officers and government officials went to the streets to patrol the streets strictly. The libertines who used to be on the streets were cleared out one by one. The family was temporarily thrown into jail and sat there for a few days before being released.
This afternoon, the Emperor's guard of honor has arrived outside the East City Gate. Also coming in are the Japanese pirate leaders who have been captured.
As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused a stir. People in Luyang, far away from the sea, had heard about Japanese pirates at sea.
Speaking of the people on the seaside who died tragically at the hands of the Japanese pirates, every one of them was filled with anger and indignation and cursed loudly on the street.
Soon, the emperor's guard of honor passed by, and behind the procession was a prison car. In the enclosed wooden fence, Toyotomi Hideyoshi still had a bald hairstyle, but his robes were in tatters, and he was covered in Bloodstains, it seems that the time spent in the Xia Kingdom military camp was quite miserable.
When the people watching on the street saw such a short Japanese, they cursed angrily and spit into the prison car.
There was also a fierce woman who bent down in the attic and pulled out a cloth belt from her skirt. With the dark red blood on it, she threw it over with a snap and accurately passed through the gap in the fence. Hideyoshi's head hangs.
More people distributed the stones they had prepared and threw them at the prison car, making a crackling sound when they hit the fence.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was just taking off the bandage on his head, and his forehead was hit by a stone, causing blood to flow. The officer quickly went over to check, and seeing that his life was not in danger, he didn't bother to worry about it anymore. The people who were stoned also turned a blind eye and said casually: "Throw it accurately, don't throw it on us."
"A tiger falls flat and is bullied by a dog..." Toyotomi Hideyoshi shrank in the prison car. He bent over and held his head. When he was hit by a stone, he shook it a few times and cursed.
A daimyo who once ruled the roost was comparable to the king of a country. It would be better for him to commit suicide like Oda Nobunaga and the others to save his face.
However, when there was an opportunity on the way...after all, I still couldn't do it to myself.
......
"Take Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a walk around Luyang."
Su Chen never treats his enemies softly, and after giving Liu Sheng a warning , he took Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Jia Xu into the Luyang Palace first, called the imperial doctor in the palace, and arranged for him to diagnose and treat Wu Zixun.
After arranging everything, Su Chen returned to the palace. As soon as he asked the palace maid to help him take off the complicated imperial clothes, before he lay down on the dragon bed to rest, he noticed that there were many more people around him.
Su Chen quickly opened his eyes.
Around the bed, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Cao Cao, Zhao Kuangyin...even Zhao Gou, Li Cunxu and others came, looking at Su Chen with smiles.
"Changsheng, have you forgotten something?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
Zhao Kuangyin continued.
"It doesn't matter if you forget, we are all here to remind you."
Good guy, even the First Emperor was sitting at the round table in the bedroom, looking over with a smile, and at the same time, he took a piece of pastry and put it on his nose He smelled it deeply.
Needless to say, Su Chen also knew what was going on.
"You have to let me take a break first...forget it, I'll be there right away!"
