Chapter 215: Close the door and beat the dogs to annihilate all the slaves
Huang Degong quickly walked to those carriages, stretched out his hand to open a wooden box on the carriage, and immediately found a gleaming golden light.
Lao Huang couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Damn it, it's all gold. Your Highness is rich again..."
…
The Manchurian Zhengbai Banner led by Azig was no match for the National Guard Army. How could Adun's few men and horses stop the cavalry led by Zhu Cixiang?
The road out of the customs had long been blocked, and the slaves had no way to escape. Zhu Cihong closed the door and beat the dogs, and they were soon surrounded and killed.
Looking at the endless mule carriage and the people's team in front of him, Zhu Cixiang was immediately elated. Now he had money, food and people to recruit soldiers...
It was impossible for so many people to go to Baodi, so Zhu Cixang immediately sent an order to Dong Yongwen and Li Chongzhen to evacuate tens of thousands of people to various counties in Gyeonggi and set up porridge shacks to provide porridge.
The people thought they were doomed this time, but they did not expect that the crown prince would personally lead an army to rescue them.
When tens of thousands of men, women and children passed by the crown prince's banner, they knelt down and kowtowed in thanks:
"Thank you to the Crown Prince for saving his life. Long live the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army is mighty and domineering..."
Zhu Cihong whispered a few words in Hu Bao's ear, and Hu Bao immediately led people to comfort the people:
"People of the Ming Dynasty, the Crown Prince Qiansi has decreed that no matter where you were plundered by the slaves, you can now stay near the capital.
The imperial court will provide you with accommodation nearby and provide you with porridge twice a day until you can be self-reliant.
Of course, if you want to return to your hometown, Crown Prince Chitose will not force you to do so. You can leave at any time, and you can collect two taels of silver as payment before leaving.
The Crown Prince has loved his people like his own son for a thousand years. After a while, he will allocate fields to the people left behind. Everyone will have a share, starting with at least five acres.
If young men are strong and are not the only son in the family, and are willing to follow the crown prince to protect their family and country, each person can be allocated twenty acres of land.
Those who meet the conditions and are willing to join the army can register at Tongzhou Camp in half a month..."
Every time the young eunuch said something, more than a hundred East Palace guards around him shouted in unison, trying to convey what he said to as many people as possible.
It is impossible for so many people to hear clearly, but under normal circumstances, there will be fellow villagers who can hear clearly and tell them.
The people of the Ming Dynasty who had gone through hardships burst into tears. They did not expect that they would receive such care from the crown prince after their family was destroyed.
Tens of thousands of people knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. They were crying with gratitude and for their dead relatives.
The crown prince not only saved them, but also gave him porridge, and would also divide the fields in the future. If his relatives could hold on for a few days, they would not die.
All this is caused by the dog Tatars. They want to join the army to kill the Tatars. They want to avenge their relatives. They want to follow the crown prince to protect their family and country...
After the crying stopped, tens of thousands of people chanted in unison to thank the crown prince and asked to join the crown prince's team to kill the Tatars.
Their shouts were deafening, and the sky was buzzing with their cries, as if God was responding to them...
It's not obvious if hundreds of people are like this, but if thousands of people are like this, the scene will be very spectacular.
King Qin and his men were stunned as they watched. They had once bullied the common people, and now they felt a little guilty in their hearts!
Lu Xiangsheng's soul was also greatly shocked. Looking back on the entire history of China, which prince dared to say such a thing? Which prince could be so loved by the people?
Where did the Crown Prince's land come from? It must have belonged to the landowners and gentry who had confiscated their properties.
In the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, who dared to allocate land to the people so unscrupulously? All the officials, gentry and interest groups in the world would never let him go, and even the emperor would not dare to do it.
And the crown prince dared to say this in front of all the officers and soldiers and tens of thousands of people. Can he do it? Isn't he afraid of being sprayed to death or something unexpected happens...
Zhu Cixiang was also moved by the enthusiasm of the people. The people of the Ming Dynasty were really simple and honest. As long as they were given some benefits and fed, they would definitely behave themselves.
Zhu Cixi knew that this was the people's support, and he who won the people's support won the world. He experienced it personally, but it was a pity that his father could not witness it with his own eyes.
It seems that I will take my father out for a walk when I have the opportunity, so that he can see with his own eyes the country and the people under his rule.
Only by letting him witness the miserable life of the people of Ming Dynasty with his own eyes will he understand that only the royal family's frugality is of no use.
Dong Yongwen and Li Chongzhen ordered their Baoding soldiers and Miyun soldiers to organize and guide the people back to various parts of the capital in an orderly manner.
Yan Xiongying and Wang Wannian, along with their subordinates, were responsible for transporting the money, grain and materials looted by the slaves, and their destination was Tongzhou.
Zhu Cihong robbed Shanxi merchants of grain and left more than 200,000 shi in the Tongzhou grain depot.
In the future, Tongzhou will be one of the main bases of the National Defense Army, and Huang Degong's Tiger Spray Army will be stationed in Tongzhou for the time being.
There were so many people that the carriages carrying supplies and gold and silver had to wait until all the people had left before they could start moving.
The Jian slaves plundered too much money, grain and supplies in the capital, and many teams of mules and carriages stretched for several miles.
The thousands of people under Yan Xiongying and Wang Wannian's command were simply too busy, and they were worried about asking other Qinwang people to help.
Zhu Cixiang had no choice but to mobilize three thousand Longteng troops to help with the transportation. During this period, the Weiwu Battalion and the East Palace Guards patrolled back and forth.
Capital
"Great victory, great victory... Great victory for the National Guard Army. The Crown Prince led the National Guard Army to recapture Shunyi, Liangxiang, Miyun, Baodi and other towns one after another, killing more than 20,000 Jiannu and Ertazi..."
Five war horses galloped on the streets of the capital, and the people on the horses shouted victory all the way.
Pedestrians on the road stopped to watch when they heard what was said, and many people were smiling and talking.
A white-haired old man said:
"Okay, Jiannu will definitely be driven away by the army led by the Crown Prince this time. The Crown Prince is so powerful..."
A richly dressed young man had some doubts about the capabilities of the Crown Prince and the National Protectorate:
"No way, King Qin of the Eighth Route Army does not dare to fight against Jian Nu. How can the Crown Prince kill so many Jian Nu?"
Before your son finished speaking, a homeless man glanced at him disdainfully and said:
"Of course, haven't you heard about the crown prince's victory over Jiannu outside Changping and Desheng gates led by the East Palace Guards?"
…
The adults were all intensely discussing the success of the crown prince's victory over the Jian slaves, but some children playing in the streets didn't care so much.
Several teenage boys galloped along with the war horses, shouting about great victory, great victory...
Since the Jiannu invaded, they have been plundering the capital, and the gates of the capital have been closed under martial law.
Not only does it bring inconvenience to people, but it also makes the people and officials in the capital fearful every day.
They were all worried that one day the capital would be suddenly attacked by the Jiannu. Many people knew the brutality of the Jiannu, and their families would surely be destroyed by then!
How could they not be happy now that they heard that the Crown Prince led an army to a great victory over Jiannu?
Forbidden City Qianqing Palace
After the crown prince defeated Jiannu in Changping and Deshengmen, he helped Chongzhen form a new cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention, the new cabinet is much more efficient than before, and they relieved Emperor Chongzhen of a great burden.
Emperor Chongzhen finally showed a long-lost smile on his face, and often praised Queen Zhou in front of her for giving birth to a good son.
Today he came to Kunning Palace again, preparing to have lunch with Queen Zhou.
Suddenly Wang Chengen ran into Kunning Palace shouting:
Chapter completed!
