My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 528 What have you forgotten about Changsheng?

Hundreds of thousands of Japanese people 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 people in a country.

Many people have confirmed the authenticity of the news. Kuaima inquiring about information is 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. They just want to know better than others. There are more people, and in the future, you will know more about what you can talk about after dinner than others.

In Luyang, Xiahou Yuan, who was the first to learn the news, was walking in the front yard of the prefect's mansion with his hands folded. Hearing the clan brother behind him talk about the information about the conquest of the Japanese country, he stopped. For such information, he felt that it was really important. Ordinary.

"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 himself, and with so many generals, it is difficult for the Japanese to have any mercy." 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, his arrogance has become more and more swollen. He probably feels 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 clear his reputation of repeated defeats.

The two brothers talked for a while in the mansion, then 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 thinking about it, Li Ru took reading and understanding as his governance policy and cultivated young talents who could read and write for Xia Guoduo.

"It's time to go back."

For three years, Li Ru was entrusted by the emperor to manage this place. It is a barren and mountainous place. It is not like Liangzhou, which is located on an important road, nor is it as flat as the Central Plains, with a lot of cultivated land. It is also not as reliable as Wuzhou and Yanzhou. Looking at the sea.

Dong Zhuo was originally lying on the Grand Master's chair, wiping his 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 brings 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, resting his hands on the armrests of the Taishi chair, she He winked at Dong Zhuo with his beautiful eyes.

Standing on the top of the mountain, he looked back at the rolling desolate mountains behind him, "If you go to a tribe and don't count the number of people, I will dig up their graves!"

"Drive! Drive!"

"Dad is lecturing me again." Dong Bai covered his ears with his hands and shook his head repeatedly: "I don't want to listen, you idiot!"

"father!"

The sunlight in the courtyard slowly moved the shadows of the trees, and 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, and the roads were muddy and slippery. An old man walked along a country road in embarrassment on crutches. He 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, and slowly turned in one direction, heading back to Xinxiang City.

News of the war against the Japanese continues to ferment.

He has already completed half of the recruitment of soldiers.

Immediately, he waved to the soldiers behind him dejectedly, led the horses, and continued on 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 it 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."

Several knights walking through the rain came to one side and stopped. They were all pedestrians on their way. They got off their horses and helped the old man up, and then let them ride together to the teahouse ahead to take shelter from the rain.

"Who the hell is chanting sutras!"

It was Dong Bai, the daughter Dong Zhuo adopted back then. After guarding Liangzhou, he sent a letter asking Su Chen to help send mother and daughter over.

"Whenever is the end, I also want to fight, and I can win the war!"

In the last two years of the three years, Bingzhou accounted for 40% of the students who went to Yanjing to take the exam.

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.

Due to the lack of troops, Dong Zhuo turned his attention to the tribes in Liangzhou.

There was a faint smile on his face.

Dong Zhuo glanced sideways at his daughter and blew the dust off the handle of the knife. "It's nothing more than news of His Majesty's triumphal return."

Immediately, he discussed with Dong Zhuo the recruitment of troops from the tribe that had changed its name to Qiang.

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 Xiliang soldiers. In the past three years, when the original soldiers in the army reached the age limit set by the emperor, they retired from the army and returned to farming, or accepted appointments from the imperial court. , go to local schools to teach, or go to the Yamen to work as agents, jailers, and other leisurely and lucrative jobs.

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 clan brother Xiahou Dun, washed up, and changed into luxurious clothes. After coming out, he led his troops out of Luyang with Zhang He and Xu Huang, who had been waiting for a long time, and rushed eastward. Linjun.

An Lushan rubbed his fat belly and just cheered up to say something cruel, 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 stroked his beard and smiled and explained.

"Of course the emperor's guard of honor cannot go in front. General Lu and I will come back first and decorate this place first."

"I see."

Xia Houyuan did not ask further questions, so he and his clan brothers went to camp in the suburbs. The next day, they were invited by Zhenhai Si Yamen officials to rush to the port.

Soon 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 out of it. 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 coming over was already in their sight. Seeing these cavalry, the people around them excitedly shouted the names of the people among them. When they saw their 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 said calmly through the curtain of the car when he heard that he was asked to leave first, 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, when someone shouted: "Here he comes!"

Then there was another voice: "Why are they soldiers? What are they holding in their arms?"

"That's the spirit box for the fallen soldiers."

Some common 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 of watching 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 as 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 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 well!"

"Your Majesty was right to slaughter them!"

"If I were ten years younger, I would still be on the battlefield!"

Amid 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 ahead to open the way, making sounds of gold and iron clashing and rubbing from time to time.

In the middle of the procession was the huge ancestral coffin. 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 time, Su Chen opened the door curtain of the car, got out of the car and held the four people's hands with his own hands.

"The generals guard important places in the Central Plains and have important responsibilities. There is no need to come here in person."

"Haha, it's mainly because I haven't seen His 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.

Because of 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 toward 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, these generals from Cao Wei just came up in a swarm, and he was in Baimenlou. Being killed by Cao Wei, I really don'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 as sharp as 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 harm the fields in the hands of 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!”

On the slowly moving ancestral coffin, Su Chen's eyes stayed on the 'Divine Walking' general for a moment, and then 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 entered Luyang.

The news of the emperor's triumphal return and his intention to enter Luyang had already spread. The Luyang Order, who was the first to know about it, 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, and they are also coming in together. I heard that the leader of the Japanese pirates has been captured.

As soon as this 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 Japanese pirates, every one of them was filled with anger and indignation and cursed loudly on the street.

Soon, the emperor's honor guard 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 there were bloodstains all over his body. He thought he was in Xia Kingdom This period of time in the 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, accurately passed through the gap in the fence, and slapped it on the head of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

More people distributed the stones they had prepared and threw them at the prison car, making a crackling sound when they hit the fence.

Just as Toyotomi Hideyoshi was taking off the bandage on his head, his forehead was hit by a stone, causing blood to flow. The officer quickly went over to check and saw that his life was not in danger, so he didn't bother to care anymore. He opened his eyes to the people who threw stones. He closed his eyes and said casually: "Throw it on target, don't throw it on us."

"A tiger falls flat and is bullied by a dog..." Toyotomi Hideyoshi shrank in the prison car, holding his head. When he was hit by a stone, he shook 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 was never soft-hearted towards his enemies. After giving Liu Sheng a warning, he took Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Jia Xu into the Luyang Palace first, called the imperial doctor from the palace, and arranged for Wu Zixun to be diagnosed and treated.

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. At the same time, he also took a piece of pastry and put it under his nose and 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!"
