At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 66
Xiaozhu Village is located three miles away on the west bank of the canal. The villagers gather on the threshing floor, surrounded by soldiers.

Dong Sanmu, the deputy leader of the army, shouted: "To ward off the thieves from the south, move all the people on the west bank across the river, leaving no tile behind!"

"Master Jun, I don't want it~" Li Zheng knelt down and begged: "We have lived here for the rest of our lives, how can we...ah~"

An arrow shot into Li Zheng's eye socket, and Bai Hu shouted: "Don't be nagging, anyone who delays will be killed without mercy."

The dead were right in front of them, and the people did not dare to argue, so they walked eastward crying, while the soldiers guarding next to them shouted and cursed at the slightest dissatisfaction.

Not far away, I saw thick smoke billowing from the village behind me.

"The dog thief set fire~" a villager howled.

"If you dare to slander Master Wang, kill him!" Dong Sanmu stepped forward with his knife, killed the villager on the spot, and then yelled: "If anyone fails to stop, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Brother Dong San, why are you here? Why are you here?" a familiar person shouted.

"What, you guys are going to join the Southern bandits?" Dong Sanmu ignored his nostalgia.

The villagers did not dare to argue, and walked forward slowly with heavy steps. Along the way, people kept gathering, all of them were neighbors, and they did not dare to say hello at this time, as if they were mourning.

The villages were raging with fire, and the smoke shot straight into the sky.

In the rice field, a Yuan army poured kerosene and then dropped the torch, causing the fire to start.

When the rice was green and yellow, it was not easy to ignite. However, with the help of kerosene, a sea of ​​​​fire quickly formed.

The people cried heartbrokenly and did not dare to stop, because the Yuan army really knew how to kill people. There were many corpses lying on the roadside along the way. The blood was not dry, and mosquitoes and flies were buzzing around. It looked very scary. .

Starving to death was a consideration in the future, but killing was right in front of us, and no one dared to act rashly.

Not daring to move is not because he doesn't want to move. In the crowd, Huang Xiaohu approached Fang Quanshui quietly, and said in a low voice, "Brother, do you want to fuck them?"

Fang Quanshui shook his head and said: "We'll see in the evening. If you have a chance, do it. If you don't have a chance, run away and join the imperial army."

"Straight bitch, you have to kill Dong Sanmu!" Huang Xiaohu cursed.

They were all born in Yuding, had no share of the family wealth, and were unwilling to be customers, so they worked as helpers in the city.

The Yuan army went south, and Song Ting fled north. Dong Sanmu defected to the Yuan army, and became a deputy [-] households with his eloquence. He immediately showed off his power and did not miss the old friendship.

Huang Xiaohu, Fang Quanshui and others had lost their livelihood and were unwilling to join Yuanting, so they thought of returning to the countryside to make a living, but they didn't want to encounter such a misfortune. Seeing Dong Sanmu like this now, they were filled with hatred.

But Fang Quanshui is the eldest brother and has a clear mind. They can't defeat Yuan Bing and they have to wait until night to find an opportunity.

Of course, success is achieved only when there are many people. After Fang Quanshui and Huang Xiaohu discussed for a while, they each went to look for young men who were brave or whose relatives had just been killed.

There is no plan, but everyone has an idea in mind. If there is an opportunity and someone takes the lead, let's do things together.

Although the two were cautious, they were not secretive at all. It was just that Yuan Bing was so dizzy from the sun that he didn't notice it, and Dong Sanmu was busy trying to curry favor with hundreds of households, so he didn't pay attention to his old brothers.

Towards evening, many people came to the canal.

The originally excavated part of the Zhejiang East Canal was the Shanyin Old Waterway. It was built in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Xixing Canal was excavated in the Western Jin Dynasty. After that, it formed a complete canal with the canal east of the Cao'e River from the Qiantang River in the west to the East China Sea in the east. Zhao Pao After Lin'an was established as the capital, the importance of the East Zhejiang Canal greatly increased.

The eastern part of Zhejiang is high in the south and low in the north, and there are many water veins. In order to maintain the water level in different areas and enable ships to pass through river sections with different water levels, many gates, dams and bridges were built in the canal.

In order to prevent the Song army from borrowing bridges to cross the river, the capital ordered all bridges to be demolished. There were only pontoons built by boats on the river for military and civilian exchanges.

The pontoon bridge was not stable, and one misstep would result in falling into the water. The Yuan navy soldiers supervising on both sides immediately fired arrows to kill the person who fell into the water.The surface of the river was scarlet, and the floating corpses were rising and falling with the water waves, slowly drifting away.

"Zhi Niang thief, there's a plague, it's better to kill the thief." Fang Quanshui cursed secretly, and looked at Shangyu County not far away.

On the top of the city, many soldiers were coming and going. Instigators were in the city tower looking at the canal below, with no thought of sending anyone to pick up the corpses.

Plague is also a means of attacking the enemy. The Mongols even used trebuchets to throw corpses. What are just floating corpses?
At this time, Zhang Hongfan came hurriedly and said: "Marshal, we can just relocate the people, but how can we kill people at will and burn down houses and farmland?"

"If not, how do we get the troublemakers to relocate?" Tiao Du asked back.

"The Holy Lord's golden words can be said to be my Cao Bin. The Prime Minister does not kill people, so moving to the southeast is like searching for something. Now that the Prime Minister can't leave for more than three months, the hearts of both Zhejiang and Zhejiang are ruined. How can the Marshal face the Holy Lord?"

"Batu." Instigated Du turned around and said: "Strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, trapping and killing the southern army and the wilderness, is the decision of all the generals. Do you think it is inappropriate to Batu?"

Zhang Hongfan said: "It's not wrong, it's just that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, so harming the people, the people's grievances are boiling, how can there be long-term peace and order?"

The instigators sneered and said: "What will happen to the people of this place when the world becomes unified? The most important thing at the moment is to completely annihilate Liu Shiyong's troops. The rest are not worth worrying about."

"Summer insects can't talk about ice!" Zhang Hongfan threw away his sleeves and decided to go to Lin'an to find Boyan to report the matter.

Anyway, his headquarters was crippled and would not recover for another three to five years. There was no need to undertake this combat mission, so it was okay to leave.

Next to him, Wanhu suddenly said: "The Han people can't be trusted, but the Great Khan made the wrong payment."

"Don't speculate on the mind of the Great Khan, just like an eagle don't compare itself to the sky." Jidu said again: "Tell the whole army, speed up, and make sure to remove the people before the southern army arrives."

Suddenly asked: "Marshal, are corpses being thrown upstream to pollute the water source?"

Instigator asked: "Do you think it will be effective?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Hu Lachu replied: "In the water source area of ​​Jiangnan, with Liu Shiyong's experience, it may not be effective."

He was also a political official in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, but he didn't take the people seriously. If he could eliminate the southern small court, it would be okay to massacre all of the southeast. What if he threw corpses to create a plague?

The people of the Central Plains are like weeds on the grassland. The cattle and horses eat them year after year. They disappear in winter, but they always grow back in spring.

The two watched for a while and then went down the tower.

As soon as a group of common people entered the city gate and saw the high-ranking official, they immediately cowered beside them and did not dare to move.

Just as Dong Sanmu was about to get angry, when he saw Su Ya coming out and falling behind, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed, and saw: "Deputy Baihu Dong Sanmu has seen the marshal, Wan Hu, and all the superiors."

The instigators did not take the deputy Baihu, a southerner, seriously and left directly. Dong Sanmu did not get up until all the instigators and others disappeared.

When he returned, Liu Jie from thousands of families came to look for him and said: "Marshal, all the boats on the Zhejiang East Canal and various rivers have been confiscated. Liu Shiyong will never be able to cross the river unless he has wings."

Instigated Du said: "Wanhu is doing well, and Liu Shiyong's troops will be promoted after they are completely wiped out."

To be honest, Liu Shiyong went deep alone, and with the number of Yuan troops, he could easily achieve encirclement, but Tianlei...you can see that Zhang Hongfan's headquarters was beaten and had to withdraw from Fengqiao Town.

It would not be difficult for Liu Shiyong to break out of the siege if he was surrounded only by troops, which was not in line with the plan of the capital.

The purpose of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, seizing the ships, and harassing the cavalry was to use up the food and fodder of Liu Shiyong's troops.

If you don’t eat or drink, what if the thunder from the sky is powerful?He could always starve to death the Confederate army.
