Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 813 Triumph
One day in early March was the day when Shen Zhezi left town and returned to the capital.On this day, since the early morning, a large number of people gathered outside Shouchun City, all of whom came to see him off.

In the morning, when two thousand cavalrymen of the Huainan Army were dispatched from the barracks outside the city and assembled outside Luocheng, the entire outside of the city was already crowded with people, all eagerly waiting to see off the son-in-law.Among these people, those who really belonged to the local villagers in Huainan accounted for only a small part. The spring plowing is busy at the moment, and all the villagers are organized into farming and production. There is no time to participate in this kind of meaningless farewell.

In the morning, when Shen Zhezi and his party drove from Jincheng to the outside of the city, thousands of people had already gathered in the countryside.The vast majority of people were isolated by the cavalry of the Huainan Army. This is not a show. In fact, Shen Zhezi's current position has too much safety and security involved, and there are too many people who have flowed into the town recently, so there is no point in taking such small things. risk.

Some township clan leaders from various places in the crowd were led out to Shen Zhezi's car. Before Shen Zhezi got out of the car, several of the Huainan township clan leaders rushed to the front of the car, with a choked tone: "This side is a waste of war. Tu, fortunately, the king came here, ruled Weirong deeply, gave our villagers a way to live, and gave me the vitality of my hometown! The king is about to leave the town, and the villagers dare not resist, but only swallow tears to send it away. Fearful statement, although the scenery of Jiangdong is good , there are still mountains and rivers in this township, and the people pray for the king to return soon."

Shen Zhezi had already got up and was about to get out of the car, but he couldn't help but pause when he heard these trembling and sad tones.When I saw those people, they all looked mournful, their eye sockets were slightly red, and I don't know if it's because of the real emotion or if it's from rubbing their sleeves behind their backs, it's too dramatic.It made Shen Zhezi feel that if he didn't stay in the capital this time for ten or eight years, he would be sorry for the villagers' sorrow and affection.

On the other side, several chiefs of the Southern Henan Township clan were not to be outdone, and they all came forward to pay respects: "Liang Gong is a young man who is heroic, and he is a leader of virtuous ministers under the king's order. His great reputation will definitely be of use when he returns to the country! We wait for you The households on the Huai River are thirsty for a long time, and they desperately hope that Liang Gong will be ordered to return to the town, and Wang Shilei will kill the vicious and vicious thieves, and the king will wipe out the remaining people!"

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi looked a little better. This is a qualified farewell copywriting, unlike Huainan villagers who do it like going to the grave, which really makes people unhappy.From this, I can't help feeling that the land of southern Henan is worthy of the essence of the Central Plains in this era. Although it has been devastated by wars for a long time, the quality of the villagers is still not low.

"All the sages praised me, but I am ashamed to accept it. The old things may not be as good, and I deeply remember this to encourage myself. This time, when I return to the court, Chen Shijun is in front of the sages, and the master of the king has made great achievements. If it is not for the help of the villagers, it will be rare. , I must invite Wang Zhao Jiaming Desheng, and when I return to the town, I will gather the elders and sages of the village to congratulate me!"

After Shen Zhezi got out of the car, he exchanged some pleasantries with these township families, waited until the team was assembled, and then boarded the car, and waved goodbye to those who were present.So it can be called a huge team, escorted by [-] Huainan army knights, and went south in this season when the grass grows and the warblers fly.

Huainan's return to the capital this time has a huge momentum.For example, in the previous battles in the Huaihe River, the captured slaves' national flags, drums and ceremonies, as well as the heads of some slave generals, as well as the well-known Jiehu generals selected from hundreds of captives, all had to be brought back to the capital to celebrate victory. .In addition, there are more than ten Huainan and Henan Township representatives carefully selected.In addition to some civil and military officials in Huainan and the previous guards of Princess Xingnan when she entered the town, the entire team has more than [-] people, stretching for several miles in the wilderness.

Although the team officially set off, the see-off people gathered outside the city did not disperse for a long time. Many people prepared their own cars and followed southward.

After Lonicera, the world in Huainan gradually returned to life.In the wilderness, near the river valley, there are many settlements and enclosures for construction.Today's Huainan can be said to be the place with the highest proportion of naturalized villagers regardless of the northern and southern prefectures.And the more people in control, it means that the mobilization force and mobilization efficiency will increase greatly.The officials feed the people, and the people serve the officials.

In addition to the reclamation people, the figures that can be seen in the countryside are the servants who work along many rivers.Although it has been overwintered now, it is not yet the spring flood season, which is the best time to repair the regular waterway.Although Huainan achieved a great victory in the previous year, many development and operation plans in the new year also have heavy tasks and cannot be slackened.Especially with the reversal of the north-south situation, the logistics pressure in Huainan in the next year will be much heavier than last year.

Dredging and repairing river channels is one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks at any given time.Today, those who undertake these hard labors are mainly the prisoners of the Jie Kingdom captured in the previous series of battles. Especially in the final battle of Whirlpool, nearly 2 people were captured directly on the battlefield, and more than [-] people were cleaned up around the battlefield.Today, there are more than [-] captives in the slave country alone under the Huainan prison.

Among the more than 2 captives, among them, those who had been in the army for a short period of time, especially the young and strong Jin people who were searched by the Jie State between Heluo last year, were not many old and bad, and all of them were selected and compiled as official households to temporarily fill the farmland.As for the other miscellaneous beards, especially Jiehu Bingtu Gezahu, Shen Zhezi had no mercy, and paid them all the hard labor in the town.From last year to the beginning of the new year alone, these prisoners of hard labor suffered thousands of people in the heavy labor and harsh life.

However, Shen Zhezi also knows that if people have no hope, it will be the source of disaster, so while spending the lives of these miscellaneous people, they also pay attention to recruiting some of them to fill the official households and improve their treatment.This quota is very small, only more than a hundred people, but it is enough to set an example for these miscellaneous and desperate people, and it is the only straw that hangs their lifelong hopes.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the waterway project, Shen Zhezi did not choose the waterway when he returned to the capital this time.The huge team meandered through the countryside, traveling southward for seven or eight days before reaching Liang County.

If Huainan Shouchun's farewell was only a large-scale one, then the welcome here in Liang County was simply out of control.Not long after Shen Zhezi left Shouchun, the welcome crowd from Liang County had already arrived in Huainan and followed them all the way.When they actually arrived in Liang County, the team size had already reached nearly ten thousand people.

"Congratulations on the return of Duke Liang!"

"The son-in-law is mighty!"

"Master Wang is majestic!"

Outside the city of Liang County, along the coast of Tushui, there were already crowds of people. As soon as the cavalry of the Huainan Army appeared in sight, a series of cheers erupted in the countryside for a long time. Shocking, the water undulates.

Today's Liang County is no longer the desolation that Shen Zhezi first came to this place earlier. It is already the largest transit point for the transportation of materials from Jiangdong to Huainan. In addition to the original county town, a large number of villages and towns have already appeared along Tushui. , seems to have a new and prosperous attitude.Some of the residents here are the family members of Huainan Army soldiers who migrated and settled here one after another, there are also villagers from Huainan, and some Xuzhou army leaders and their followers who were recruited by Shen Zhezi from the corner of Xuzhou before. Indispensable are the private households from Jiangdong Township who moved here to build a family business.

With the victory in Huai Shang, the situation in Liang County is naturally more stable, so more and more households have settled in. There are nearly [-] households, and they are still growing steadily.

This place can be said to have been created by Shen Zhezi alone, and the people of this village naturally have a sense of closeness to the son-in-law living here, especially Liang County is where Shen Zhezi is entrusted.So when it was reported in Huainan that the son-in-law was going to return to the capital through this place, both the scholars and common people, the living and the people all counted on their fingers when Shen Zhezi would arrive.When Shen Zhezi finally arrived, the cities and villages were all emptied, and the people gathered together to look forward to it, hoping that the son-in-law could feel this enthusiasm.

The turbulent cheers made Shen Zhezi feel his heart swaying in the car, and he was very excited.He ordered the car to stop for a while, put on the military armor from the carriage, then walked out with his head held high, turned over and rode on the horse brought by the soldiers.Thousands of cavalry formed a formation, waiting for the main general to enter the formation.When Shen Zhezi rode his horse and walked slowly to the front of the team, the already excited crowd burst into cheers again!
"With every gesture, all the people echo! In the morals of the world, there is really no one left for Wei Zhou."

When Yu Tiao and other Liang County officials saw this scene outside the crowd, they couldn't help but sigh.Although in their minds, the support of Xiaomin may not be important, but only when they are in the scene and witness the scene, can they feel what an incomparably magnificent and heart-pounding picture it is.

Shen Zhezi rode his horse forward, and his military uniform, from the top of his head to the soles of his combat boots, was covered with a layer of eye-catching brilliance by the warm sunshine.Behind it is the Huainan army knights formed by thousands of people. The formation is strict and orderly, as if a copper wall and iron wall are moving horizontally.The welcome crowd backed away spontaneously, giving way to a wide road, and stared at the Huainan Army formation slowly passing by. Their eyes were filled with enthusiasm, and the palms of their frequently applauding became red and hot.

In the noisy and warm atmosphere, Shen Zhezi clasped the hilt of the sword at his waist with his fingers, and the sharp blade was suddenly pulled out and pointed forward. A dazzling light suddenly jumped into the field of vision of the people present, and they all subconsciously held their breath for a moment.Within a few breaths, the surrounding atmosphere changed from noisy and bustling to audible needle drop.

"Before the season, I vowed to kill slaves here. Today I returned triumphantly and lived up to my promise. The thieves who violated my king's realm will be repaid with death! Armored horses, swords and guns are never in vain. Yongjia's decadence will be washed away in one battle! The country and the people, don't be humiliated again! The blade is pointed at the motherland, after Jia Ge, there will be no more wars!"

"The son-in-law is mighty!"

"Master Wang wins!"

As soon as Shen Zhezi finished speaking, more violent shouts and cheers erupted from the quiet crowd.The sound was so loud that it even penetrated the leather cover of the war horse, and it became an endless commotion.

"Return to the city!"

Following Shen Zhezi's order, Qianqi rode his horse, rushed across the road separated by the crowd, rolled over Pinggang, and went straight to Liangjun City where the city gate was opened.They charged several feet away from Yu Tiao and the others who were waiting to be greeted at the bottom of the city, and the team stopped their charge suddenly.Such superb riding skills amazed and applauded the onlookers.

　This chapter makes up for last night's update. I didn't wait for the update last night. I'm really sorry. I was too drunk, so I only said it in the group, but forgot to say it in the book.There are two more updates today. . .
