Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 167 Chapter 167, Prince Zheng's army went out, Zhu Cihong joined Guozhen
Gao Dejie's heart is relatively empty, Zhu Cihong may not care about his own safety, but how can Gao Dejie not care about the safety of the Ming Prince?
Zhu Cihong looked away from the city of Jinzhou, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, isn't there still a lot of food in the field? It's enough for us to eat for several days."

It is almost the autumn harvest season now, a small part of the grain in the field has matured, and most of it is approaching maturity.

At this time, Zhu Cihong, who was in the wild, really didn't need to worry about any logistical troubles at all.

Are you hungry?Take a trip to the fields.

The horse is hungry?Take a trip to the fields.

Anyway, it's all food from the Qing Dynasty, so if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing.

At this moment, a scout rushed over and gave Zhu Cihong a new piece of information.

"Your Highness, we found traces of the Manchu Qing army fifty miles away. It is roughly estimated that the number is at least more than 3!"

Zhu Cihong frowned, and was about to say something when a systematic voice sounded in his head.

"The sign-in task is triggered. Please ask the host to defeat Jierhalang's troops within one month, or recover Ningyuan, and the task can be completed."

As before, the system does not seem to provide any buff this time.

Zhu Cihong was not surprised by this, he laughed after a brief moment of stupefaction: "It seems that Jierhalang's main force is here, interesting."

Upon hearing this, Gao Dejie hurriedly said: "Your Highness, our cavalry is no match for Jierhalang. Please return to Ningyuan quickly, Your Highness."

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, and said: "It's time to go. General Gao, send someone to burn all the food. We won't be able to eat it anymore, but we must not cheapen these slaves!"

Soon, raging fires burned in patches of farmland outside Jinzhou City.

When Jierharang arrived with his army, what he saw were pieces of burnt ruins.

"Hundreds of thousands of mu of fertile land, all of which were burned by the cavalry of the Ming army?"

When hearing this news, Jierharang's anger can be imagined.

Food is the lifeblood of a country, and it is extremely important for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a country that has always been short of food.

Jierhalang directly beheaded the Manchu generals who were steadfast in Jinzhou and did not dare to attack in public, and then continued to lead the army southward.

"These damned wise people are actually doing such a small trick in secret, it's so despicable and shameless to the extreme!"

On the one hand, he was yelling, but on the other hand, Ji Erhalang's heart was somewhat beating.

Jierhalang said to the people around him: "Quickly, send someone to find out who is leading the Ming army this time!"

Soon, Jierharang got an answer.

"Prince Zhu Cihong and Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen?"

Hearing this answer, Jierhalang paused first, then gritted his teeth and showed a murderous smile.

"These two guys, I've been thinking about them for a long time!"

Shanhaiguan's failure, now it's time to take revenge!
Jierhalang gritted his teeth, and then continued to lead the army south.He didn't know that in his army, there were already some people with different thoughts than before.

Decades ago, when Nurhachi was just one of the many tribal leaders of Jianzhou Jurchen, all the people under his command were very united in order to survive.

But now, with the Aixinjueluo clan uniting the entire Jurchen step by step, and even occupying the entire Northeast and most of Monan, things have changed significantly.The interests of the state and the interests of the individual are separated and sometimes even completely conflicted.

This will be reflected in the upcoming wars.

Zhu Cihong didn't know about Ji Erhalang's anger, if he knew, he might not mind making this anger more vigorous.

In fact, he did.

"Burn it, burn it all!"

Zhu Cihong's order was very decisive.

When he came, Zhu Cihong also kept a hand because he considered that the Ming army might occupy these places in the future.

But it's different now. Jierhalang's army is about to arrive. If all the grain in these fields is not burned, then all the grain will soon enter the stomachs of the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

This was of course intolerable to Zhu Cixiang and even the entire Ming army.

Five thousand cavalrymen of the Ming army passed by, the flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Cihong also expressed emotion: "Now I finally understand why it is said that destruction is easier than construction. By the way, all these villages are also burned, no one lives anyway."

Gao Dejie listened to Zhu Cihuang's order, and couldn't help but twitched his brows a few more times.

At this moment, the general of the Guan Ning Army felt from the bottom of his heart that his Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked young, but he was actually a very decisive figure.

Gao Dejie carried out this order very resolutely.

Whether they are Han Chinese or Manchus, they all have something in common in their nostalgia for family.

So when the villages were set on fire, people would soon run out of the burning houses, even though the Ming army had searched the houses before that to make sure that there was no one in the houses.

Zhu Cihong's method is also very simple, all men over ten years old will be killed, and the remaining old and weak women and children can be released.

Gao Dejie made a suggestion: "Your Highness, I feel that they can all be killed."

Gao Dejie and Man Qing had a bloody feud, and he didn't care about the old and weak, women and children.

Zhu Cihong squeezed her chin and said, "The influence is not good, forget it."

Gao Dejie hurriedly said: "But let these children go, won't they join the Jiannu army when they grow up in a few years?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "It's okay, after they grow up, there will no longer be a country that establishes slaves in this world."

Regarding this point, Zhu Cihong is very sure.

Three days later, at the foot of Ningyuan City, Zhu Cihong and Li Guozhen, who had been waiting for a long time and couldn't calm down, joined forces.

Li Guozhen looked at the intact Zhu Cihong, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Your Highness is fine, that's really great."

Li Guozhen really couldn't imagine what would happen if something happened to Zhu Cihong.
