The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 42 Scouting Team

After solving the coalition forces, he stayed in Zhuojiabao for one night. Liu Xia did not send people to retaliate against all the big families here as those people guessed, but left Taihe County directly and began to move towards Kaifeng Prefecture.

This made those big people who participated in the attack on Liu Xia breathe a sigh of relief.

When they learned that Liu Xia's army was a cavalry of thousands of people, these big people couldn't help but be shocked that they were cavalry!

No wonder I lost so badly. It turned out to be a cavalry.

After their observation, it was found that Liu Xia's team was not an ordinary drifter. It's more like a regular army.

This discovery made the big people here scared. The regular army was not what they could deal with. These big people didn't know that Liu Xia was leaving here. They thought they wanted to find a place to camp and stay here for a long time.

If Liu Xia really stays here all the time, the lives of these big families will not be guaranteed at all.

So several large households hurriedly reported this matter to the county magistrate in the county. When they learned that the county magistrate had been killed by thieves, these big families only felt a little cold on their necks.

So he hurried to Zhang's house. In this place, only Mr. Zhang had contact with the people above. If he wanted his life would not be threatened, he could only ask the people above to send troops to destroy Liu Xia.

Mr. Zhang was a little disdainful of Liu Xia and others before, but when he learned that Liu Xia's pole was an escaped remnant army, and he was also a cavalryman. He was no longer as high as before. He didn't sleep well all night, and his eyes turned red.

Liu Xia must be driven out of Yingzhou.

Just as they were discussing how to ask soldiers from above to encircle and suppress Liu Xia, Liu Xia had left the territory of Taihe County and set foot on the territory of Kaifeng Mansion.

"Order to stop the march, and the army will rest!" Liu Xia said to the soldiers beside him.

The soldier gave a promise, and then ran to the rear of the army and shouted, "The general has an order, stop moving forward and rest on the spot."

"The general has an order, stop moving forward and rest on the spot"

With the arrival of the order, the whole army stopped moving forward. This is an empty field on the fertile land where grain should have been planted. Because of the chaos, the population has plummeted, so that there is no one to cultivate this place. The fertile land is covered with weeds.

"Each battalion has three people and one team, scattered around!"

......

"General, this has reached the boundary of Chenzhou."

"In those years, Li Zicheng massacred the people of Chenzhou here, so that now the fertile land is ownerless and abandoned."

"Yes, Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng City for a long time, so he dug the Yellow River levee and caused hundreds of thousands of people in Kaifeng to die under the flood. Kaifeng City was covered by silt. From then on, the Yellow River was diverted and entered the Huai River."

[Note: In history, when the Yellow River broke the embankment, no one really thought about it. The first is that officials in Kaifeng City secretly dug the Yellow River levee, and the second is that Li Zicheng was shot in the eye and dug the Yellow River levee in anger. The third statement is that Li Zicheng and the people in Kaifeng City secretly dug the Yellow River embankment at the same time. However, according to the environment at that time, there were not thousands of people to dig the Yellow River embankment, and it was difficult to dig a big opening overnight. At that time, Kaifeng City was surrounded like an iron barrel, and it was obviously difficult for the people in the city to go out. Well, only Li Zicheng, who is surrounded by Kaifeng City, has this condition, so these people also think that it was excavated by Li Zicheng.

As for what the historical truth is like, let's wait for historians to give the correct answer.]

"Yes, the Yellow River levee was dug open. There were 300,000 people in Kaifeng City, and in the end, there were only tens of thousands left alive. That's really a corpse everywhere!"

Liu Xia is also very clear about this history. After Kaifeng City was buried, countless people were killed and injured. The buildings in Kaifeng City were directly buried by the sludge of the Yellow River. From then on, the strong and tall Kaifeng City was buried in the ground.

Kaifeng, which has been glorious for thousands of years, has also fallen since then. In the 21st century, Kaifeng, the ancient capital of the Northern Song Dynasty with the most developed commerce in ancient times, has now become a poor small city.

Liu Xia couldn't help sighing, rejuvenating the people and dying.

After coming to this world for dozens of days, Liu Xia has also begun to gradually integrate into the world, and the perspective of looking at problems has also begun to gradually look at it from the perspective of the ancients.

At this time, Bian Yujing came to Liu Xia with a bowl of hot water and said, "General, after walking for so long, you must be thirsty. According to the general's instructions, the army does not eat cold water, and all the food and drink must be cooked. This is the hot water just boiled by the logistics camp, and then the little woman brews it with good tea. General, please try the hot tea.

Liu Xia nodded, stretched out a hand to hold the hot tea, took a deep breath, and a strong fragrance inhaled Liu Xia's mouth.

Then Liu Xia tasted a small sip of the tea made with good tea. In his previous life, Liu Xia had no money to buy top tea. He drank some ordinary and low-quality tea. Now drinking good tea naturally tastes different.

Wilderness

The three scouts formed a team and rode a horse to carefully look around. It was more than 20 miles away from Liu Xia's army. At this time, the three people looked at the barrenness around and relaxed their vigilance. There would be no one in such a place at all.

The weeds around them grow wildly. Some of the heights are more than one meter high. The dense wind blows and sways with the wind, which looks like a green ocean.

......

"Big head, are we really going to do this ticket? It doesn't look like they are easy to mess with!" A young man in his tattered tattered yellow teeth and scattered hair. A young man in his twenties said to a middle-aged man who was slightly better and showed two big yellow tatous teeth.

The middle-aged man looked at the three scouts riding dart-headed horses not far away, and his eyes were a little hesitant, but when he looked at the strong horse under them, his eyes suddenly showed greed.

"Isn't the big head three soldiers riding horses? What's so terrible? At least there are thousands of people in our brothers, and now there are dozens of people around us. Can't we do three more soldiers? Even if you are afraid of the retaliation of the officers and soldiers, then we will hide after finishing this ticket, and the officials can't find us." This is another middle-aged man with a goatee next to the middle-aged man who is called the big boss. The obscene middle-aged man looks at the three scouts and shows greed.

"I, as the three masters of Heifengzhai, are still just riding a thin donkey. The big master, your mount is just a skinny pony. How does this show the wisdom and martial arts of the big master? Let's do it!"

The big boss's eyes kept shining, and finally gritted his teeth and said to the people around him: "Damn it, I did this vote. At worst, I will hide back to the stockade after doing it."
