Chapter 205: People Leave Their Hometowns
Qin Yue and the others all showed solemn expressions, but they didn't agree happily as Cheng Xiaolian imagined.
Cheng Xiaolian was a little puzzled: "What? Aren't they all willing? ”
Qin Yue coughed: "Your Highness, don't blame your subordinates for not having ambition, what heroes and heroes Bai Wenxuan, King of Gongchang, and Li Dingguo, King of Jin, were heroes, none of them could beat Wu Sangui, and thousands of our remnants fell to this, although we have not forgotten the Ming Dynasty, but it is difficult to get out of Burma, if you want to return to the Ming Dynasty, it is really difficult." ”
Yang Youcai suddenly asked, "How many of you are now?" ”
"There are only 3,000 people who can go into battle, and most of these people have never fought before, and many of our old brothers who have fought really can't carry guns."
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned: "There are so many people? ”
Qin Yue smiled bitterly: "At first, there were only a few hundred people, and then there were constantly remnants of soldiers who heard about Wangxiangtai and fled here, plus the new group of boys, it is not difficult to make up three thousand people, which is also the main reason why the surrounding villages dare not bully us, we are many of us, and we do not bully others, so we have established ourselves in a foreign country, in order to prevent others from suspecting, we declare that we are the Gui family, and all of them are surnamed Gui." This surname has nothing to do with anyone. ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "If there are only 3,000 guards left in the royal capital, can you deal with them?" ”
Qin Yue shook his head: "Ava City has high walls and thick walls, even if we rush out to make the tools for attacking the city, these young people have never fought before, let alone besieged the city, and when the time comes, they will just be sent to death, besides, how can the king only have three thousand people left?" ”
This 3,000 people is just an estimate of Cheng Xiaolian, in his opinion, if the elite of the royal capital fights with himself, the royal capital will leave 3,000 people at most, otherwise he may not be able to deal with himself, but it is a foreign country, and the people's hearts are back, so this battle is difficult to fight.
Yang Youcai laughed: "We will attack Mengmi City immediately, and of course the elite of the royal capital will rush over to support." ”
Qin Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Highness, if there is really a need, we people will not give up, but if you want to make some movement, let's leave this seed for Daming, and I will beg you as an old minister." As he spoke, he knelt down.
Cheng Xiaolian understands that this old guy is a hot-blooded young man who wants to take revenge.
Thinking of this, he coughed: "Yang Youcai, let's give you an account of our situation, otherwise I'm afraid they will always be at ease." ”
Yang Youcai stood up: "A year ago, we set out from Yunnan, attacked Meng Guangcheng, got a part of the Burmese generals, and subdued several groups of bandits and bandits on the way, and then defrauded the city of Xianli City, occupied Xianli City, and later infiltrated Mengyang City, with the help of the power of the tower family of Mengyang City. Then went south to attack Mengdai City, the king was shocked, sent 30,000 troops, was killed by us, and then the plague was rampant, we had to change direction, attack and capture Mengguang City, and then cut off the connection of Mubang City, now Mengmi City has everyone in danger, I will curse the army to come! ”
Yang Youcai's words have been processed, mainly to reflect his own military exploits, so the achievements of each battle are emphasized, and as for the damaged men and horses and the lost Meng Dynasty City, they are all omitted.
Qin Yue smiled bitterly: "We haven't heard any rumors of these things, and the king of Myanmar is singing and dancing, there is no sense of panic at all, Your Highness didn't come all the way to trick us old things, right?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "I don't know what Lord Qin thinks I have to do to deceive you?" These are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, am I willing to watch them die? ”
Song Qianhu interjected: "Then I'm going to say something unkind, since you have made such a big move, what are you going to do with us?" In fact, I'm afraid that you don't have enough manpower, so you will drag us to death together, right? ”
Cheng Xiaolian was a little angry: "You are at ease to be immortals in this paradise, you don't care about the news outside, you don't care about the world of the Ming Dynasty, you don't know what Wu Sangui is doing wrong, and we don't know if we have laid down half of Burma, I want to ask, can you people still fight?" ”
Qin Yue stood up with anger on his face: "Since His Highness has said this, we also want to say that if you can hit the emptiness of the royal capital, we will also send troops to respond without you mentioning, but if we only let our brothers die, in the next life, we are all people who were abandoned by the Ming Dynasty and walked around from the ghost gate, it is not easy to live, can't Your Highness give us a way to live?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian's face was gloomy, although this old guy didn't like what he said, but what he said was right, the last time they were abandoned, I was afraid that they were already cold, and now they didn't see any results and let them send troops, only once if they didn't succeed, I was afraid that no one in their whole village would survive, and then they would become cannon fodder, no one would want to put this matter on anyone's head, Daming has been dead for thirty years, Yongli Ye has also been dead for ten years, and they are not Yang Youcai and Yuan Zonghao, they have received the kindness of the Ming Dynasty since they were children, so it is indeed a bit unreasonable to let them fight without scruples.
Qin Yue also regretted it after finishing speaking, no matter what these people say, they are all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, everyone thinks day and night that they are just anti-Qing and restore the Ming Dynasty, and one day they can return to their roots, hundreds of old guys have died in the village in the past ten years, and their only wish before death is just not to throw them here when they return to the Ming Dynasty one day.
In order to reassure them, Qin Yue burned all their corpses and put them in the jar, telling them that even if they couldn't wait for the day of the revival of the Ming Dynasty, the situation would be better, and he would help them bury the bones back in the land of the Ming Dynasty. He knew that if he said that he wanted to return to Daming, nine out of ten people in the village would be willing to fight to the death, and people would leave their hometowns.
Who knew that he hadn't spoken yet, Cheng Xiaolian spoke first, his tone was very calm: "I know that I just made a request to embarrass you, you are here to wait for our news, if we can't take down Mengmi City, then you should farm and farm, eat and sleep when you should eat, sleep, and eat, if we can really attract the elite of Ava City, I hope you can do something to contain the elite of Ava City." ”
Qin Yue knelt on the ground with a thud: "The men and women in the village are old and weak, I think they would rather die on the way back to Daming than be inferior in this foreign land." I just hope that His Royal Highness will give me an explanation, what are the chances of winning this time? If the odds aren't high, I can't just let them die here in vain. If Your Highness lies to us, you will bury the last seed of the Ming Dynasty, I hope Your Highness can swear! ”
Cheng Xiaolian fixed his mind: "Eighty." ”
