The army, it's the Ming official army here!

When these people came to their senses, they were not only not surprised, but panicked. They had heard that when the routs were dispersed, they were usually no different from thieves, or even more domineering than thieves, because they had knives and guns.

But soon, they reacted. I already have nothing, what are you afraid of, afraid that they will rob again? What a joke!

After seeing it more clearly, I found that it was a regular Ming army coming from afar. In particular, when some knowledgeable old people found out that it was the elite Guanning cavalry of the imperial court, their desperate and numb expressions disappeared immediately, and the hope that surged from the bottom of their hearts made them involuntarily stand up and salute in the direction of the cavalry.

And those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods were a little panicked, they could escape, they could hide, and for a while, many places seemed a little chaotic.

Under the banner of the word "Cao", a young general took the lead and rushed straight to the ruined city of Yongping. He is Cao Wenzhao's nephew Cao Bianjiao.

The sound of "booming" sounded, just in front of the crowd, the war horse stopped and neighed upright, but Cao Bianjiao sat firmly on the horse's back without the slightest influence. After he patted the horse's neck with his hand, the war horse immediately stopped being restless and seemed much quieter.

At this time, Cao Bianjiao said loudly in the face of countless people surging over: "Cao Bianjiao, the vanguard of the Guanning Army of the Ming Dynasty, was sent by Sun Ge Lao to rescue Fu'er and others at the behest of the emperor. The army has allocated military tents and food, and it will arrive later, so you can sit down in an orderly manner and not riot! ”

"Master Jun, Master ...... Army"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Bianjiao heard a faint voice, as if he was shouting with all his might, but there was only a little movement. There was a bit of impatience in the voice, but there was also a bit of anticipation.

Cao Bianjiao immediately followed the sound and took a look, and found that not far from the front left, in the place where it was immediately covered by the crowd, there was a naked old man, whose whole body was bruised from the cold, lying on the ground and trying to hold his head high, stretching out his hand to himself.

"Get out of the way!" Cao Bianjiao shouted, drove the horse, quickly came to the old man, simply turned over and dismounted, half-squatted in front of the old man and asked, "Old man, what are your wishes?" ”

He could see that this old man was dying, and even if he had clothes to wear and a fire to roast at this time, he could not be saved.

The old man struggled with his last bit of strength, slowly turned his head, pointed to the ruins of Yongping with his finger, and replied with all his might: "I...... The ...... of the Wang family Grandchildren ......"

Before he could finish speaking, his hands hung down, his head fell to the ground, and his eyes were wide open.

Cao Bianjiao is a young man after all, although he has been in the army for a long time and is used to seeing life and death, but at this time, he still saw a surge of anger, raised his head and looked around the crowd and shouted: "What's the matter? What about his clothes? What's going on with his grandchildren? ”

There are people who know the situation, and they didn't dare to reach out to help before, but at this time, there is someone in charge, so they are a little bolder, and they are a little sympathetic to Master Wang, so they stand up and answer.

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he immediately turned around and gave a sharp command to one of his subordinates. Suddenly, a team of iron horsemen roared and galloped towards the ruins of Yongping.

With this demonstration, knowing that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court could call the shots, some people stood up and complained to Cao Bianjiao that some ruffians and hooligans took advantage of the chaos to rob their homes, and some people immediately reported that there were still White Lotus disciples here.

As soon as Cao Bianjiao heard this, he immediately scattered all the cavalry under his command, divided them into small groups and patrolled on horseback, and as soon as they found or were reported as a disaster to the people, they were immediately killed. In addition, he also sent a messenger to report immediately, after all, the cavalry he led was too small to control the entire scene outside Yongping City.

But with the presence of regular officers and soldiers, even if the number of people is negligible compared to these hundreds of thousands, everyone has a backbone, their hearts are not panicked, the cold wind does not seem to be so biting, and the stomach does not seem to be so hungry. Everyone sat around in an orderly manner and discussed things with interest. Such a scene can be regarded as a person!

They praised the young general's bravery, were surprised by the speed of Guan Ningjun, and were even more surprised by what the young general said.

Guan Ningjun actually brought food and military tents, and said that it was sent by the emperor at the behest of the emperor. When these people talked about this, it was hard to believe. Even if they have more experience and can distinguish right from wrong than ordinary people, at this time, they are still confused!

But as the winter slowly rose, and when a large cavalry army arrived, when these troops took out their military tents and began to arrange them according to the way of military management, when these troops took out food and began to boil porridge, these old and weak believed. Even if they had never heard of it before, and they had never seen such a kind-hearted court and such a kind-hearted official army, but in the face of the facts, they believed it.

At this time, even if someone from the White Lotus Sect gave birth to a lotus flower again, they were sure that they would never be moved by what they said. With such an emperor and such a court, where does the dark talk come from?

Although these old and weak know that it is still unknown whether they can survive this most difficult period, they all know how to be grateful. Everyone praised Guan Ningjun, Sun Ge Lao, the imperial court, and the emperor. Everyone is very cooperative, and they won't make trouble, so they will do whatever Guan Ningjun asks them to do.

They didn't know that the emperor, who was praised by them, was worried about them at this time.

After Hu Guang retired from the court, he did not go to rest, but came to the Wenhua Hall and summoned some important ministers of the court to discuss things.

I only heard Hu Guang say to these courtiers below: "Although I sent the Guan Ning army to Yongping to rescue early in the morning. But the Guan Ning army did not have much remaining military tents, and there was not much food. That's a drop in the bucket for millions of victims. If the imperial court doesn't think about it in time, I'm afraid it will be wasted! If you have any other plans, you can make it clear as soon as possible! ”

"Your Majesty, maybe you can let the state capitals around Yongping resettle some disaster victims!" The newly promoted auxiliary minister Zhang Zhifa bowed in response.

Hearing this, Shoufu Wen Tiren shook his head and vetoed: "It's not proper, the surrounding state capitals of Yongping have also suffered military disasters, although the city has not been broken, but the surrounding villages and towns have all been looted by the Jianjiao, and they are still too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have the ability to resettle more disaster victims?" ”

This is also a fact, Hu Guang nodded when he heard this, and asked, "What about Wen Qing's opinion?" ”

"The minister thought that it was better to let them rebuild their homes as soon as possible and resettle them on the spot. But there are two difficulties with this. First, the people left behind are old and weak, and it takes a lot of labor to rebuild their homes. ”

"Second, there is a great shortage of food, which is most scarce. It can be said that in the current Gyeonggi region, food is the most scarce thing. How can this be adjusted? If you carry grain from Beijing, you will have to consume a lot of precious grain on the way. ”
