Zhu Cihong asked Xiang Hu Bo: "Abnormal disease?" What exactly is an abnormal disease? ”

"These soldiers all said that they were uncomfortable, and their subordinates also went to diagnose and treat them, which was indeed abnormal, not like they were afraid of war. It was only for a while that the situation could not be ascertained...... Subordinates ......" Hu Bo said, his face was embarrassed.

Zhu Cihong's expression suddenly sank.

"Your Highness! The flying eagle of the Flying Bear Battalion in Pingyuan County asked if he wanted to be attacked from both sides! At this time, Zhang Zhen walked quickly again and asked Zhu Cihong.

For a while, Zhu Cihong suddenly felt a sense of danger.

It was as if he was facing a critical juncture at a crossroads. The next choice will determine your own fate, and it will also determine the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers who follow you, and the fate of millions of people in the land under your control.

"To attack, or not to attack?" Zhu Cihong asked himself.

Similarly, Chen Yongfu is looking at himself, and Hu Dawei is also looking at himself. Yang Wenyue, Liu Zhen, and Liu Quan all waited for their orders.

"Your Highness, are you still attacking?" Yang Wenyue said softly.

Hu Dawei said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there is no problem with the first regiment!" You're ready to strike! ”

"There is no problem with the second regiment!" Chen Yongfu shouted.

Liu Quan wanted to say something, but he heard Liu Zhen preemptively say: "Your Highness, the cavalry battalion can go to battle at any time!" ”

"Who is that evil man in the Qing army? Is he true or false...... One hundred and seven cases of abnormal disease, is it really a plague? Zhu Cihong looked at the determined generals one by one, and felt as if the whole person had been torn apart.

"For a general, you need to be calm!" Zhu Cihong muttered silently. forcibly suppressed his heart and calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Ning Wei! ”

"The last general!" Ning Wei, the commander of the personal guard battalion, strode in front of Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong exhaled softly. In a low voice, "All of them!" ”

Yang Wenyue, Hu Dawei, Chen Yongfu, Liu Zhen, Ning Wei and Liu Quan all stood together.

"After the guard camp is broken!" Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice: "The artillery battalion shelled and covered, and the grenadiers accompanied the suppression of the pursuers. The cavalry battalion is in reserve. The 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment and the officers and men of the whole army ......"

"Retreat in turn, return to the city!"

"Your Highness......" Yang Wenyue said reluctantly: "I'm afraid this will hurt the morale of the army......"

"The last general can fight! Please allow me to fight, Your Highness! Liu Zhenteng's skin turned red: "The last general is not a coward who is afraid of death!" ”

As soon as Liu Sheng's words fell, Hu Dawei and Chen Yongfu became excited: "The last general is invited to fight......"

"Presumptuous!" Zhu Cihong snorted and said, "You are not afraid of death, could it be that I, Zhu Cihong, am I afraid of death?" I personally led the guards after the camp was broken! You all return to Linqing City for me! Remember, this is a military order! ”

"When did my Royal Guards Order come to naught? Yang Wenyue, now you remember for me, I want to take a look. Who dares to disobey my orders! Zhu Cihong shouted: "Retreat!" ”

"Retreat!" Yang Wenyue glanced at the firmness in Zhu Cihong's eyes and shouted in a low voice.

At this moment, when Chen Yongfu and Hu Dawei heard this, they gave up resistance one after another.

Soon, artillery bombardment began. It's just that, compared with the previous momentum, the artillery battalion at this moment seems to be a little sluggish.

"Order the Flying Bear Camp to enter Jinan and hold ......" Zhu Cihong said in a low voice, at this moment. He felt the heaviness like never before.

If this judgment fails, the morale of the army ...... It's about to collapse completely.

"But is that correct?" Zhu Cihong said softly in his heart: "That means a more severe test...... It's coming. ”

……

"I didn't expect Zhu Cihong's reaction to be quite fast." Abatai frowned and looked at it, and exhaled softly: "Let He lead the Mongolian Eight Banners Army to chase and kill for a while." Remember, only arrows are allowed, not melee. ”

This battle. It feels amazingly smooth.

The Qing army only rode horses and shot arrows, forcing them back all the way until the Ming army entered the city and no longer continued to attack the city.

Seems. It's really like what the evil Qing army general Chen Weidao said...... The Ming army was infected with the plague.

And at this time, north of the Yellow River in Henan. News of the outbreak of the plague came from southern Gyeonggi, most of Shanxi, and western Shandong.

"Shen Zhichun, the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, reported that there was no rain in spring, locusts ate wheat, the plague was rampant, five or six out of ten people died, and the year was ...... fierce."

"The political envoy of Shandong Province reported that the plague was rampant in Qingzhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion......"

"The political envoy of Henan Province reported that the plague in Yangwu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, was a great work, with nineteen dead and countless exterminators. Person. The spring epidemic in Xingyang County, the people died without leaving the house, and there was no one on the road in March......"

"Fu Shuxun of the household department recital. In December, there was a great famine in Quang Binh Province, and people were cannibalistic. In October, Shunde Mansion experienced years of drought, hunger, plague, and countless deaths. Zhending Mansion, Zhengding drought, people hunger, summer plague. Liangxiang County, Shuntian Prefecture, had a plague last year and a great hunger. In the second year of this year, the Great Plague ......"

For a while, the entire control range of Zhu Cihong was shrouded in the panic of a plague.

At this time, Zhu Cihong's army no longer had the strength to fight back.

At least, in the eyes of Qing generals such as Abatai.

The only thing that made Abatai feel uncomfortable was probably the Flying Bear Battalion sneaking into Jinan City. For this Flying Bear Battalion that had lost two reorganized cattle records before and after letting Abatai in Texas, Abatai was particularly jealous. He just glanced at the defense of Jinan Mansion and knew that it would be difficult to conquer Jinan again.

But......

Shandong is rich, and there is obviously more than one rich place: Jinan Prefecture and Linqing Prefecture.

The Confucian family in Qufu is exceptionally wealthy.

King Lu of Yanzhou is even richer.

When the time turned to February 19 of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

A news that shook the world came out.

"Qufu ...... The Kong family is gone......"

In the Shandong Hall of the Jingshi.

Kong Yinzhi trembled: "God-damned Tartar...... dog traitor...... What a prince who doesn't accept it! can't even beat the Tartars, and the court has raised so many soldiers, are they all lost silver? What else do you say to resist the Qing righteousness, I'm ......"

"Yan Sheng Gong...... Let's get some points! Wang Yisheng slowly walked into the Shandong Hall and bowed his hand to the two colleagues who were accompanying Kong Yinzhi: "His Royal Highness the Prince's army was not built with funds from the imperial court. Moreover, His Highness is now suddenly suffering from the plague and is too busy to take care of himself. The Holy Lord has already convened Jiuqing to discuss the matter. ”

The implication is that Zhu Cihong, who is deeply trapped in the plague city, can't even take care of himself, how can he still have the obligation to go to Qufu?

Moreover, when Zhu Cihong asked for help from the Kong family in Qufu and planned to help, the Kong family refused very simply. However, the Qing army went to the door, and in order to send away the plague god of the Qing army, Kong Yinzhi also sent thousands of stones of grain to others.

When Wang Yisheng said this, Kong Yinzhi's original words were suddenly speechless, and he could only howl dryly: "My clansmen who were killed and wounded by the Qing army, ......" (to be continued.) )
