Chapter 306: Jing Chu Land
Ten miles of flags turn the wind, and the daily newspaper of the camp is the same. \u000b Yoyo He mends the green oil painting, lifelike and shocking back to the painting of the horn male. \u000bThe strong man draws his sword when he is in his arms, and the benevolent man has no way to relax the bow. \u000bTianji turned his hand and looked at the peach forest riding red.
In July, the sun is like fire, the trees and flowers are illuminated by the sun and cannot lift their heads, the birds in the sky are extinct, and the animals on the ground are also lying in the shade to escape the heat.
On the official road leading from Wuchang to Changsha, a group of Ming troops with urgent flags on their backs galloped by, startling a large area of dust.
In July, when the sun was scorching, the cavalrymen's armor had been soaked with Han water, but they did not rest in the shade on the side of the road, but galloped towards Changsha.
"Pegasus Express, the official army has won a great victory, and Wuchang has been restored~"
At the gate of Yuezhou, the cavalry shouted and rushed directly into the city, causing the crowd to dodge, and then looked at the back of the cavalry.
When they heard the words of the cavalry, their faces suddenly leaked with joy, and they danced excitedly with the people around them.
It has been more than half a month since the Ming army set out from Yuezhou, and there have been news coming back during this period, including many unfavorable news such as Liu Chengyin's defeat and loss of 10,000 people, and Li Guo's siege of Jiangxia City, which made the government and people in the rear very worried.
Yuezhou is located in the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty, Yuezhou people were poisoned by the Qing soldiers, and in the previous battle to defend the city, they lost 20,000 young men, which can be said to have formed a blood feud with the Qing soldiers.
Now they heard that the Ming army had conquered Wuchang, not only avenging the dead children, but also making Yuezhou from the front line of the Ming and Qing dynasties to the rear. This also indicates that the people of Yuezhou will have a relatively peaceful life, and they will naturally rejoice in their hearts.
The cavalry did not stop in the city, but came directly to the post station, changed into the horses brought by the post man and the post guard, hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, drank a bowl of tea, changed horses without changing people, and quickly left Yuezhou.
The cavalry came and went like the wind, but it brought the most important news to the Huguang officials, gentry, and people along the way, and the Ming Dynasty had won.
The news of the official army's recovery of Wuchang spread to the prefectures and counties through which the cavalry passed, like putting on wings.
On the outskirts of Changsha, on the vast paddy fields, groups of peasant women are bending down to stand in the rice fields, pulling weeds one by one.
This is between the Ming and Qing dynasties, the second general battle that broke out in Huguang, the war is not a simple confrontation of troops, not only the soldiers on the front line have paid a lot, the people in the rear have also made great efforts for the war, the war in front of the war, the same concern about the three Hunan and four waters, the hearts of tens of millions of Hunan people.
The victory or defeat of the war is related to the future situation of the Ming Dynasty, the future situation of the Hunan people, and the 100,000 people who went out with the army, all of whom are the relatives of the people of Sanxiang and their concern.
At this time, many people were working in the fields, after the young and strong were requisitioned, the old and weak also had to participate in the work, although Dufutai and Zhao Zhizhou had arranged for the people to cooperate with each other, and the government had prepared a large number of tools, but for women and the elderly, the work in the fields was still too heavy.
At this time, an old man straightened up from the field and wanted to press his sore waist, but he saw a group of Ming cavalry galloping from the north on the official road in the distance.
The old man used to be an errand in the Yamen, Zhang Xianzhong also defended the city when he attacked Changsha, and he knew a lot about the things between the troops, he looked from afar, and saw that the cavalry was planted behind the small flag of urgency, and came from the north, and immediately ran to the ridge.
In the paddy fields, the people who were working also stood up one after another when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and looked at the cavalry rushing to Changsha City, and their hearts were tight.
"What's the matter, old man?"
"I don't know, it seems to be an expedited horse from the north, it should be the result of the battle in Wuchang." The old farmer who ran to the ridge of the field, while responding to the old woman in the field, squatted by the ditch, washed the mud on his face and hands, and then stood up and continued: "You and Wa'er continue to do things, I will go to the city to inquire about the news~"
Wuchang and Changsha are more than 600 miles apart, Zhang Bilong and his ten knights, along the way to change horses without changing people, do not rest at night, as far as it took three days to arrive outside Changsha.
The Ming army captured Wuchang, this is great news, Wang Yan sent him to send the news back to Changsha, he let the people in his hometown know the good news earlier, he galloped all the way, and when he came to the city gate, he was very tired.
At the city gate, hundreds of people found them, and immediately gathered around, when they entered the city, the people of Changsha who got the news, have come from all sides, and the streets were suddenly full of people, Zhang Bilong saw this, and his heart was also very excited, although he was out of breath, but still shouted excitedly: "Happy ~ people, we have won ~"
"Victorious~"
After Zhang Bilong finished speaking, the people were slightly stunned for a moment, and then instantly burst into earth-shattering cheers, and many of them were even more tearful.
The entire Changsha City, with Zhang Bilong as the center, joy and excitement spread outward layer by layer, and the scholars knew that Zhang Bilong was going to report to Du Yinxi, so they escorted him all the way to the governor's yamen.
In the crowd, two men dressed in fancy clothes, who were eating in a restaurant next to the street, suddenly heard the sound of cheers erupting in the whole city, as well as the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and didn't know what happened for a while, so they came out to watch, just in time to see the back of many scholars and people and Zhang Bilong.
At this time, the crowd rushed to the governor's yamen with gongs and drums, and one of the two suddenly grabbed a scholar from the crowd and asked, "Brother Tai, what happened?" Why is the whole city suddenly so excited? ”
Just as they were asking, strings of firecrackers were suddenly thrown out of the shops on both sides of the street, and the "crackling" explosion was non-stop, even more lively than the New Year.
The shopkeeper in the restaurant also walked to the street at this time, arched his hand to the people who were still on the street, and shouted: "Today's drinks in our store are all provided for free~"
At this time, the soldier who was being dragged had to retreat under the eaves with them to avoid the firecrackers in the street.
When the scholar heard that their accent was not local, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "Where did you come from, you don't even know such a big thing?" We are celebrating that the Duke of Chu led the Ming soldiers to defeat the provincial capital Wuchang, and I heard that even Tong Yanghe, the governor of Huguang in the Qing court, was captured alive. ”
When the two heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and their faces were full of joy.
