I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 737 Death
The north seems to be calm, but there is an undercurrent of depression. After another heavy snowfall, a large number of southern soldiers in Jeju City took advantage of the snowy night to defect and rushed to Jeju port.

At this time, General Bai and his son were resting on the boat, and the soldiers who stayed on the shore issued a warning.

Bai Lang came to the deck one step ahead of his father, and more than a dozen fires were lit at the port, and the light of the fire dispelled the surrounding darkness.

Bai Lang's goal was a row of kneeling soldiers. These soldiers were wearing broken armor. Everyone's hair was messy like refugees, their faces were covered with frostbite, and their red and swollen hands were trembling on their sides.

General Bai patted his son on the shoulder, and the father and son stepped off the warship.

The lieutenant general who came down first made a report, "They are all southern soldiers who ran from the Jeju barracks, and they came to surrender."

Rather than surrendering, it is more accurate to say find a way out.

There was a food shortage in the Jeju barracks, and suspicions deepened as time went by. Now the wheat bran for one meal a day could not be guaranteed. In addition, many southern soldiers froze to death in the cold winter, and the grievances deepened.

The southern soldiers wanted to go home and survive, so they planned to defect.

General Bai looked at the southern soldiers who surrendered and remained silent. Xiao Jiu took away all the southern soldiers who were forcibly brought to the north. Now those who surrendered were all soldiers loyal to the Min family. These soldiers were the Min family's hawks and dogs.

General Bai cleared his throat, "Does the Min clan ignore you?"

The response to General Bai was silence, and all the soldiers who surrendered lowered their heads.

Bai Lang sneered, "It seems that the life of the Min clan is not easy."

Let Bai Lang guess right, the Min family is a little bit hard to protect themselves, Huizhou is the foundation of the Min family, and they have left their hometown since they broke their foundation.

In addition to the troops who are still loyal to the Min clan, more soldiers have already woken up, and the Min clan is on the verge of extinction.

General Bai called for his lieutenants. The navy had no place to support the soldiers who surrendered, and they didn't have the energy to investigate these soldiers. He arranged for ships to send the surrendered soldiers back to the south to take care of them.

This night was destined to be unsettled, until dawn, and defected southern soldiers fled to the port.

General Zhang Xi of Jeju City led his troops to hunt him down personally, but Bai Lang was not polite. The cannon greeted Zhang Xi, but Zhang Xi was angry and did not dare to approach him. In the end, he could only watch the defecting soldiers board the boat and leave.

In Nanzhou, southern soldiers also defected. This time, without Xiao Jiu's plan, someone would respond. The defecting southern soldiers were chased and killed all the way, and they jumped off the Nanjiang River to swim across the bank in the cold weather.

The defection's journey home was full of blood, and less than half of them actually returned.

The soldiers stationed at Yang Xixuan sent boats to greet them, and fought with the Zhang family soldiers in Nanzhou. The battle didn't end until noon, and the Nanjiang River was stained red with blood.

The southern soldiers brought by the Min family to the north defected again, pushing the Min family to the edge of a cliff and giving Zhang Min a reason to attack the Min family.

When Zhang Min issued an order to arrest the Min family, Zhou Lin took the Wei family back to Xiang County.

Zhou Lin has a house in Xiang County, and arranged for Wei's family to live in Xiang County's house, and Wei Ru will get married in this house.

There's no way around this, the Wei family really can't afford more money to buy a house in Xiangxian County, don't look at Xiangxian County as a county seat, the house price is outrageously expensive and not at all cheaper than Fucheng.

Zhou Lin settled in Wei's house and returned to Shanghe Town, but he didn't see his brother and sister-in-law when he got home. He was suspicious and sent the letter ahead of time.

When Zhou Lin arrived at the school, he found out that his sister-in-law was editing teaching books. Zhou Lin didn't bother his sister-in-law.

Zhou Yu signaled his younger brother to sit down and rest first, and they will finish their work in a while.

Zhou Lin signaled him to go out for a walk. The Zhou family school has undergone a lot of changes. The most conspicuous thing is that there are two more small buildings in the school, which are dedicated to the classrooms used for experiments in District B.

When the school was over, Zhou Yu and his wife finished their work. They rubbed their shoulders to bid farewell to the other gentlemen, and then took Zhou Lin home.

Yang Xi asked the Wei family, "Is everything arranged?"

Zhou Lin, "It's already been arranged."

Yang Xi didn't help my younger brother clean up Xiangxian's house, not because he didn't have time, but because his younger brother kept someone in Xiangxian County, so she didn't have to worry about it at all.

Zhou Yu said: "I have already sent posts to the clansmen, and they will come back one after another in a few days. Your sister-in-law and I have other things to do. You entertain the clansmen."

Zhou Lin nodded, "Okay."

Zhou Lin asked about the editor's books, and Zhou Yu talked about the food on credit.

Yang Xi answered, "The first batch of grain has arrived at the port of Ruizhou."

Zhou Lin asked curiously, "How much food did you get on credit?"

Zhou Yu stretched out a slap, "Five ships' grain."

Zhou Lin took a deep breath, "Is there too much food in Guanyi?"

Yang Xi shook his head, "It's not the sea ships we built to deliver food, but Guan Yi uses his own ships to deliver food."

Guan Yi was crazy to let Xixuan's ship deliver food. Xixuan's largest sea-going ship was one and a half times the size of Guan Yi's ship.

Zhou Lin put on a sullen face, "The five Baide ships have a lot of food."

Time passed quickly while walking and talking, as if they arrived home without saying anything, Yang Xi first took Zhou Lin to the wedding room to have a look, and asked if there was any dissatisfaction, and he could make changes while there was plenty of time now.

Zhou Lin was very embarrassed, "Sister-in-law has worked hard, I am very satisfied with the wedding room."

Yang Xi, "As long as you are satisfied, you can try on the groom's suit later, and if it doesn't suit you, you can change it."

"it is good."

Zhou Lin's groom's attire was a bit loose, and Zhou Lin had lost weight recently, so the embroiderer at home could change the groom's attire.

As Zhou Lin returned to Shanghe Town, the clansmen who received the posts also came back one after another. Zhou Lin saw that the clansmen were very friendly, and it was inevitable that they would talk about Ezhou and other places.

The news that the southern soldiers defected again spread quickly. Zhou Lin heard that he was very concerned about the military households in Ezhou, so he wrote a letter to inquire about the news. Only then did he know that these soldiers who escaped were under unified management, and every soldier who escaped would be investigated. Severe punishment according to law.

At this time, Hule China finally couldn't survive, he led the remaining soldiers and horses to retreat, and the northeast tribes were unwilling and had nothing to do.

On the second day after they withdrew, the closed Shuozhou city gate opened. Li Yongyan had a rare good night's sleep. Now he was full of energy. He looked at the direction of Hu Lechi's retreat and led his troops around Hulechina's army headed towards the grassland.

The Min clan in Nanzhou was wiped out, all the soldiers and horses loyal to the Min clan were killed, and the money and food of the entire Min clan were confiscated.

The southern soldiers who defected first were lucky, because the only result left was a dead end.

In the capital, Zhang Min got the wealth of the Min family, and he was relieved a lot. As for the other southern families who fled to the north, Zhang Min was not in a hurry to slaughter them, because it was not yet the end of the day.

At Yang Zhanpeng's residence, Yang Zhanpeng was staring at his little finger on his right hand. The little finger was severely frostbitten. Now the little finger has no feeling. Yang Zhanpeng closed his eyes and his little finger is useless.
