Chapter 136 Poor My Country and My People

Although it is said that the Taolin gold mine is Wang Shichong's heart, in Wang Shichong's heart, the Taolin gold mine is far more important than 5,000 soldiers and horses. However, in Wang Xuanqiong's view, no matter how heavy the gold mine is, it is not as important as his own life. As Wang Xuanqiong cried bitterly and shouted surrender, the battle, which began abruptly and ended quickly, finally stopped.

The surviving Zheng soldiers looked at the purgatory-like battlefield with palpitation.

More than 1,000 Zheng soldiers were killed in just a few breaths, and not even a single intact corpse could be found, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and various organs of the human body were everywhere.

Especially the closer you get to the direction of Zheng Jun's camp, it is really miserable. A Zheng soldier who was cut off from the waist down, of course, although he was not dead, he crawled towards the camp in fear, and the blood was even like a mop, spilling a bloody path of more than ten meters, and the war was over, although the soldier was not dead, he was already frightened crazy.

In fact, it was not only the soldiers of the Zheng Army who were not suitable, but even many soldiers who had defected from the soldiers of the Zheng Army had become very uncomfortable. Even if they were all hoplites before, they could slaughter the enemy one-sidedly, but axe killing and knife killing are two completely different concepts.

Axe killing, the great thing is to cut off the head, at least the corpse is still human, but the Mo knife kills, almost all of them are broken corpses. The soldiers of the Tang Army watched the soldiers of the Zheng Army who had laid down their weapons and cleaned up the battlefield with great interest.

With Wang Xuanqiong's surrender, Chen Ying thought that he could smoothly take over the thirteen gold mines controlled by Wang Shichong of Taolin. However, what Chen Ying thought was too simple. When Chen Ying had just arrived at the Kunshan Gold Mine, he saw a ragged boy running barefoot on the ice, and he didn't feel like his feet were frozen.

Chen Ying was surprised when he saw this scene.

When Ashnasimo saw this, he immediately stepped on his horse and chased after the running boy. However, the speed of this young man was very amazing, and with the help of steep slopes and cliffs, he not only did not let Ashnasimo chase more and more, but the distance became farther and farther.

If Ashnasimo hadn't chased him, he would have run away. But at this time, if this young man is allowed to run away again, Ashina Simo will not need to see anyone.

Seeing that the young man ran more and more towards the mountain, although the war horse that Ashina Simo stepped on could climb the gentle slope, he could not climb the mountain. Ashina Simo's face was a little unbearable, and he was also ruthless, jumping off the war horse and chasing after him on foot.

Chen Ying looked at the young man who was running like a flight on the steep uphill, and an abnormal look appeared on his face. When the young man was running away from the formation just now, Chen Ying had noticed that the young man was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was so agile, wasn't he a natural mountain scout?

Seeing that he had chased a pillar of incense, the boy was like a monkey, running back and forth on the smooth hillside. Ashnasmo's patience had been exhausted, and he saw Ashnasimo pick up his bow and arrow from behind and prepare to shoot.

Chen Yingdao: "Catch it alive!" ”

Hearing this, Ashnasimo hurriedly put away his bow and arrows, put his fingers in his mouth, and whistled loudly.

Ashnasmo's yellow horse ran in front of Ashnasimo like a gust of wind. Ashnasimo quickly picked up a roll of rope from the rucksack next to the horse's neck.

After all, the young man's body is too thin and weak, and at first he can still rely on his flexibility to get rid of Ashina Simo's entanglement, but as time goes by, his speed begins to slow down, but although it is a little slow, the distance between Ashina Simo and him has slowly decreased from more than one hundred and fifty steps to more than thirty steps.

At this moment, Ashina Simo suddenly made a move, threw out a rope noose, and accurately hit the running teenager, stretched out his hand and pulled, pulling the boy to the ground, the young man struggled desperately, but he could not escape Ashina Simo's control.

When Chen Ying saw this scene, he was also taken aback: "This set is accurate, then forget it, I'm afraid that this pulling force will not cost hundreds of catties!" ”

After all, the young man was not dragged and gliding on the ground, but flew upside down towards Ashina Simo like a cloud and mist.

In order to catch this young man, Ashina Simo not only lost his face, but also almost lost face. He raised his fist, and was about to punch him, but found that two wolf-like lights burst out of the young man's eyes.

For such eyes, Ashina Simo was particularly impressed. As early as when Ashnasimo was nine years old, he was once chasing a hare on horseback, but he accidentally fell alone and was targeted by a vicious wolf. At that time, the evil wolf looked at him with this kind of eyes, and walked around on the edge of death, and Ashina Simo was very familiar with such eyes.

Ashnasmo's fist did not fall on the boy's head in the end, because he found that the boy's arms, back, and thighs were naked, revealing crisscrossing scars, which shocked Ashina Simo.

Ashina Simo turned his fist into a palm and patted the young man's head gently: "Damn, you're quite slippery." ”

The young man said stubbornly: "Hmph, if I haven't eaten for three days, you won't be able to catch me!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Ying smiled slightly: "You're not very convinced, what's your name?" ”

The young man saw that Chen Ying was young and was not a big official, so he grinned and said: "My name is Zhou Qing, let me tell you, I don't have any other skills, but I can run fast, just my feet, I can catch the child." ”

"Zhou Qing?" Chen Ying was stunned when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "Isn't this the head of the eight leading armies in Xue Rengui's expedition to the east?" Chen Ying tried to ask, "Do you know Xue Li?"

Zhou Qing shook his head: "Who is Xue Li?" ”

"What about Xue Rengui?"

Zhou Qing frowned and said, "I only know one surnamed Xue, named Xue Shishi." ”

Chen Ying shook his head, maybe this Zhou Qing just has the same name and surname. Chen Ying beckoned, and beckoned to Ashina Simo: "Zhou Qing, you are still not convinced." You feed him and compare with him! ”

Ashina Simo nodded, and took off a dry food belt from the horse's neck, which contained about ten catties of fried flour, which was Chen Ying's invented marching dry food, put the flour into the pot and fry it, mixed with some salted jerky. As long as you add water, you can eat it directly, of course, this is to facilitate the emergency dry food when cooking without putting it on the fire during special periods.

Zhou Qing was not polite, took the bag of dry food, opened it and saw that it was flour, so he grabbed a handful and stuffed it directly into his mouth. Zhou Qing devoured it, and he was not afraid of choking, and after a while, he looked at Chen Ying in surprise: "There is still meat?" ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of jerky the size of Moyo's finger from his mouth.

Chen Yingchong Ashina Simo said: "Find him another pair of boots, don't freeze your feet!" ”

Zhou Qing knelt down in front of Chen Ying with a bang and knocked his head three times.

……

Wang Shichong has no intention of operating the Taolin Gold Mine at all, he just wants to mine the gold here, and for the craftsmen here, they eat worse than pigs and do more than cattle. There are more than 3,000 workers in the Kushan gold mine, who are actually slaves.

Chen Ying thought that he could rescue three thousand slaves at one time, and he was very excited. When more than 3,000 workers and slaves gathered, Chen Ying even typed a draft, preparing to give a passionate speech to these more than 3,000 workers and slaves. Half an hour later, under the organization of Chen Ying's personal guard Zhichong Mansion, the more than 3,000 workers lined up in a circle in front of a large stone that was too high than a foot high in the valley of Kunshan Mountain.

In fact, most of these slaves were official slaves under the jurisdiction of the province during the pre-Sui period, but these official slaves were replaced by Wang Shichong and saw that the Tang people drove away the head of the steward sent by Wang Shichong, and thought that a new group of masters had come.

When Chen Ying was a student, he had participated in many speeches on behalf of the school, so he actually had some experience in speeches.

Make eye contact with these audience members before they speak, so that each one feels like they're looking at them.

However, after Chen Yinghuan swept around, the situation in front of him poured cold water on him. No one responded to his eager gaze. When facing the captured Han slaves of the Turks, especially the ancient town of Huaiyuan, or the soldiers of the Tang Army, Chen Ying's eyes could ignite a raging flame among them!

But at this time, Chen Ying poured out all his enthusiasm through his eyes in the face of these mining slaves, but he was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no reaction at all.

That's right, the more than 3,000 people in front of him are all empty, sluggish, dull, and lifeless eyes, but they are different from the dullness of idiots, but a kind of numb sluggishness, if the eyes are the windows of the soul, then through these two windows, Chen Ying can hardly see the existence of souls inside.

He suddenly remembered the low-level characters described by Lu Xun, yes, it was such a numbness, when he walked into this group of people, Zhang Mai even had an illusion: he walked into the group of mules and horses, not into the crowd.

Of course, Chen Ying didn't mean to discriminate against these people, on the contrary, he came with great expectations, but at this moment, this feeling swelled in his heart.

Chen Ying gave up his speech, because Chen Ying found that no matter how good he spoke, it was undoubtedly a waste of feelings to play the piano to the cow and flatter the blind.

However, Chen Ying did not despair, he knew that in order to change these mining slaves, he needed to release the souls that had long been imprisoned in their hearts.

Chen Ying walked down from under the tall rock, slowly walked up to an old man in the crowd with lost teeth and gray hair, and asked in a low voice, "Old man, you are old this year, where is your hometown?" ”

The old man with a white-gray head and a wrinkled face said timidly: "Little Lao'er is Chinese New Year's Eve and seven today, and his hometown is Gaoyang!" ”

When Chen Ying heard this, he felt extremely incredible, this old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face was actually only thirty-seven years old.

Thirty-seven years old is in the prime of life for a man, but he never thought that this old man would only be thirty-seven years old.

Chen Ying's whole mood became bad in an instant.
