The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 65
Everyone rushed to help Wang Zhaolin, but Wang Zhaolin pushed them away and said anxiously.

"I'm fine...go save the others first..."

Wang Zhaolin stood firm, but the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He saw many people lying on the street.

Some people's chests were still heaving and howling, but more people had stopped moving.

Wang Zhaolin's figure swayed and almost fell down, causing everyone to panic again.

"it's okay no problem……"

Wang Zhaolin wanted to wipe the sweat off his face with a silk cloth, but he couldn't touch it.

He kept whispering that it was okay, as if he was comforting himself, or comforting everyone.

Sweat dripped down his forehead in big drops, and Wang Zhaolin didn't care about his face anymore, he just raised his sleeve and wiped it off.

"Hurry up and ask all the doctors in the county to come here to treat the wounded."

Everyone was still worried about Wang Zhaolin, but no one acted immediately.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Why are you still in a daze? Why don't you go!"

Seeing that everyone was still standing still, Wang Zhaolin became very angry.

Seeing that Wang Zhaolin got angry, everyone didn't dare to be negligent. Immediately, some people scattered in all directions to look for the doctor.

"Let people cook some more rice porridge, which will be distributed in various workshops in the future."

When Chen Wang got close, Wang Zhaolin kept ordering the yamen servants to deal with the aftermath.

"Fortunately, President Chen Qian arrived in time, otherwise I don't know how many people will be killed or injured this time..."

Wang Zhaolin heard Chen Wang firing a gun, and also heard Chen Wang maintaining order and evacuated the crowd.

"I would like to ask, was there anything unusual when the riot happened?"

Chen Wang's expression was deep. As soon as he glanced over, he felt that many people felt wrong, not ordinary people.

This feeling is inexplicable, and the reason is unclear. Although those few people look like ordinary people, they become more and more strange.

Chen Wang felt that someone might be deliberately guiding this stampede...

"abnormal?"

Wang Zhaolin frowned slightly, turned his eyes slightly, and recalled for a while.

"I remember that there seemed to be a few people running around, and then someone shouted that the bandits were coming, and the scene was completely chaotic."

Chen Wang looked at the evacuated crowd and asked in a low voice.

"When the porridge was distributed, were the former refugees there?"

Wang Zhaolin's complexion changed, as if he had thought of something.

"You mean, there are bandits among those refugees..."

"Don't panic, the magistrate, I'm just speculating."

Chen Wang shook his head, but didn't say anything too sure.

"Just pay attention to the county, and I will give you five hundred guards later."

"The vanguard of the rogues outside the city has arrived. I am afraid that the army of rogues will arrive in Chunhua before evening today. By then, all affairs in the city will need to be handled by the county lord."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Chen Qian, don't worry, I can't go into battle with a gun, but Wang still has some experience in governing one side."

Wang Zhaolin nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Wang Zhaolin was fine, Chen Wang didn't waste much time, and led the army away after a few casual sentences.

But when he was leaving, Chen Wang asked where the people who came to the city later gathered, and then gave instructions to Tang Shiping.

"Find some smart people, and go to these places at night to see, the city is not peaceful..."

The rogues lacked siege equipment and swept through the borders all the way. The number of times they broke the city was actually not many, and they usually plundered rural areas.

The prefectures and counties are protected by city walls. Although there are not many defenders, the young and strong guarding the city can also cause considerable damage through the city.

The strong troops under the bandit's command are all cavalry and fine cavalry, and the rest of the infantry and hungry soldiers are actually not much stronger than those young and strong, and their morale is extremely low.

The attacking ability of the rogue bandits is actually not bad. Only when the pursuers are in a hurry, when attacking some checkpoints, the elite cavalry and cavalry soldiers dismount and attack the city on foot, and they can quickly attack the city at any cost.

But this kind of situation is very rare, because Jingqi and Majun are basically the property of those leaders, and they dare not break it easily.

Otherwise, there will be no escape or victory in the face of the official army's offensive in the future, and it is more likely to be annexed by other forces.

Fine cavalry and cavalry infantry can indeed break through the city, but the gains after breaking the city are often difficult to make up for the losses, so it is better to plunder the countryside.

So along the way, many of the cities they broke down were the ones that should be broken inside, or they were besieged by ants when they had time.

What is certain is that there are definitely a lot of rogues who entered Chunhua City among the vagrants.

"The ones entering the city should be old bandits who have been thieves for many years. Let them pay attention and find those who look around and have calluses on their hands."

The hands holding knives and guns are completely different from the hands using agricultural tools, and the eyes and temperament are difficult to conceal, no matter how good the camouflage is, there will always be flaws.

Because of Wang Zhaolin's previous actions, these people don't have any weapons. As long as they are on strict precautions, the danger will not be too great.

Tang Shiping took the order, didn't stay for long, and led the people back to the camp in a hurry.

Moreover, the soldiers of the two divisions in the battalion were still waiting for him to preside over military affairs.

"Internal..."

Chen Wang stared at the back of Tang Shipingyuan going away.

Then he glanced at the scattered bandit rangers under the city wall, and he felt as if he had forgotten an extremely important thing.

Looking at the black flags one after another on the field outside Chunhua City, Chen Wang's eyes slowly rolled.

"What month is it today?"

Chen Wang tilted his head slightly and asked.

"The tenth day of August."

"The tenth day of August?"

Chen Wang narrowed his eyes and repeated in a low voice.

"In the eighth year of Chongzhen, on the tenth day of the eighth month..."

Chen Wang was recalling the history books he had read before.

Although Cao Wenzhao is not dead and has changed the direction of some things, many things still have inertia, and the temporary difference will not be great.

In history, Gao Yingxiang divided his troops into three ways to plunder the place.

In July, he led the army to defeat He Renlong and Zhang Quanchang, and joined forces with Zhang Xianzhong to advance to Xi'an, but they were not in the country, so they went west to martial arts.

In the eighth month, attack counties such as Fufeng and Qishan.

In September, Gao Yingxiang joined forces with Gao Yingen, Hui Dengxiang, and Zhang Xianzhong to break through Xingping and push into Guanzhong.

Hong Chengchou was in the center alone, leading an army of 1 people, setting up positions in Jingyang and Sanyuan, and fighting fiercely.

In October, Gao Yingxiang and others were unable to fight against the Ming army. Xianzhong and other troops left Tongguan and divided into thirteen battalions to advance eastward.

It is still August, and if history has not changed much, Li Zicheng went south at this time because he received Gao Yingxiang's order.

Gao Yingxiang is planning to attack Guanzhong in September and enter Xi'an Prefecture again.

"Li Zicheng, Prime Minister Hui Deng..."

Outside the city of Chunhua, the outlines of a group of cavalrymen who broke into the army became more and more clear.

A large black flag unfurled in the wind, and a big word "Chuang" was reflected in Chen Wang's eyes.

At this moment, Chen Wang also thought of what he had been forgetting.

　There are only two chapters today, and I feel dizzy and my mind is muddled.
