Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 86 What is Master Wang? (twenty two)

Zhu Jing'an has always hated the massacre and looting of cities.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Jing'an regained his composure, and then asked.

"How many people are still alive in Chishui Ruins now?"

Hearing this, Zhong Haishan spoke.

"At the end of the day, I did a brief inventory. There are about two to three hundred survivors in Chishui Ruins. Most of them are young and strong men. Most of the old, weak, women and children died under the butcher's knife of the Qing army."

"This is thanks to the fact that many people in the market belong to the same clan. When faced with the Qing army's rebellion, the elders and squires organized young men to resist, otherwise..."

Hearing this, Zhu Jing'an sighed deeply, and then spoke.

"Go and bring the clan elders and squires from Chishui Ruins to see my governor!"

Hearing this, Zhong Haishan clasped his fists and left.

Not long after, the clan elders and squires from Chishui Ruins were brought to Zhu Jing'an.

After seeing Zhu Jing'an, the leading squire immediately knelt down and kowtowed vigorously.

"On behalf of everyone in Chishui Ruins, I would like to thank the Governor for saving my life."

"Master Ming Dynasty's kindness today will never be forgotten by everyone in Chishui Ruins!"

After saying this, he kowtowed several times.

Zhu Jing'an stepped forward, helped the squire up, and said warmly.

"Old man, please get up quickly, you can't do it, you absolutely can't do it!"

"This time it was really my troops who arrived too late, which caused my fellow villagers to suffer."

"Failure to protect the people of my Han family is already a dereliction of duty by my Ming Dynasty Master. How can I still have the dignity to accept such a great gift from the old man?"

"It's so shameful!"

Hearing this, the old country squire burst into tears uncontrollably and spoke.

"Master Wang, this is Master Wang!"

"It's really unbelievable to me that I can still see the real Master Wang of the Han family in my lifetime."

"Old man...Old man, if you decide to die, your life will be worth it!"

Before this, the squire actually had no good impression of Daming.

After all, it has been more than 100 years since I entered the Qing Dynasty, and my rule has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Although the lives of the people in the world are hard, they can barely survive.

He really couldn't understand why the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed for so long, and there were still people thinking about rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty?
Now, when it really happened to him.

When the Qing army swung the butcher knife at them, the squire realized the necessity of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

The Tatars, the dogs in the world, really don’t regard them Han people as human beings!

If it were a Han family, no matter how corrupt the military discipline was, how could they dare to massacre cities and destroy villages at the slightest disagreement?

Do you really think that the royal laws of the court are just decoration?

Thinking of this, the squire from Chishui Ruins suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and spoke.

"Grand Governor, I would like to ask for a favor from you, and I hope that the Grand Governor will grant me your permission."

Hearing this, Zhu Jing'an nodded.

"Old man, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"

When the squire heard this, he nodded vigorously and said through gritted teeth.

"I would like to ask you to help us bury our family members and friends who died tragically at the hands of the Tatars."

Zhu Jing'an nodded and said no problem, it's not a big deal.

The old squire continued.

"Then, I also ask the Grand Governor to accept the remaining [-] or so men from Chishui Ruins and give them a bite to eat."

"Give them a chance to personally avenge their family members and friends."

"I, the hundred or so men of Chishui Ruins, are willing to be the most obedient and sharpest swords in your hands!"

The squire was brave this time. This time the Qing army invaded and Chishui Ruins was looted. Too many people died.

Chishui Ruins is basically finished, and it is impossible to return to its former prosperity.

If this revenge cannot be avenged, everyone will not be able to swallow this breath.

Hearing this, Zhu Jing'an nodded again and agreed.

"Old man, even if you don't say so, we will still help you. As the King Master of the Han family, this is what we should do!"

"My Ming Dynasty King's Army is an army with ideals, morality, and honor, with the mission of protecting the people of the world, the philosophy of stopping war and promoting righteousness, the goal of restoring the Han Dynasty, and rebuilding the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

"They are not the same thing as those running dogs of the Manchu Tatars in Green Camp."

Well, Zhu Jing'an is now preparing to shape the "military soul" of the Ming army!

After saying this, he turned around and ordered the Ming army to immediately help the survivors of Chishui Ruins collect the corpses in the town and tidy up the dilapidated houses and buildings.

He also ordered the leading soldiers to immediately bury pots to make rice and prepare porridge to relieve the survivors of Chishui Ruins.

After entering Chishui Ruins, many Ming soldiers' faces became visibly gloomy.

Looking at the scene of dilapidated buildings and collapsed buildings all around.

Look at the blood everywhere, the broken limbs and pale corpses everywhere.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but feel raging anger in their hearts, and they felt as if the rabbit was dead and the fox was sad.

The military discipline of the Qing army was really bad!
The people of Hualiang Village suffered last time, and the people of Chishui Ruins suffered this time. So who will suffer next time?
Could it be their family members, their wives, children, parents?
The scene in front of them further strengthened the determination of the Ming army to fight the Qing captives to the end and achieve final victory.

Because they cannot accept the tragedies happening in front of them, happening to their families.

Such a thing is so tragic!
An unspeakable anger was quietly condensing among the Ming army, hidden deep in everyone's hearts.

When they encounter the Qing army on the battlefield next time, this long-suppressed anger will burst out, smashing and tearing the Qing army in front of them into pieces.

……

Li Hongyu was escorted back to Chishui Ruins by a Ming army team that was conducting reconnaissance outside.

She had been worried all the way in vain. None of the things she imagined happened.

Not only did the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty not violate or defile her, they actually took good care of her along the way.

Especially the young soldier who restrained her by the creek looked at her with sympathetic eyes from time to time.

I was afraid that she would be thirsty along the way, so I fed her water several times.

Under Zhu Jing'an's strict orders, the Ming army can now be said to have strict military discipline.

According to the military law of the Ming army, robbing civilian girls was a serious crime.

Once caught, not only would he be beaten with a military stick, but he would also be fined and confiscated his military merit fields as compensation for his crime.

Compared with women, the Ming army obviously cared more about land.

How can I put it, with land, they can marry a daughter-in-law, live a comfortable life with their wives and children, and pass on the family line from generation to generation.

They wouldn't rob civilian girls just for a few seconds of trembling, so that they would be fined and confiscated the land they had already obtained.

Using the military field as capital, marrying a wife and returning home, not only can she shiver every day, but she can also give birth to children and take care of their food and daily life. Isn't this more cost-effective than robbing civilian women?
Seeing this scene, Li Hongyu couldn't help but believe some of the rumors about the strict military discipline of the Ming army.

Not long after, the group followed the official road and arrived outside Chishui Ruins.

Seeing Chishui Ruins reduced to ruins in front of him, Li Hongyu was stunned at first, and then his emotions collapsed.

She finally understood why the young Ming soldier always looked at her with sympathetic eyes along the way.

Chishui Ruins is gone!
Li Hongyu wanted to break free and run home to see if his father had an accident, but he was restrained again.

Her identity could not be verified, so the Ming army could not release her.

But the Ming army did not make things difficult for her. After verifying Li Hongyu's identity with the old squires in Chishui Ruins, they released her and gave her her freedom.

Li Hongyu rushed back to his home and looked at the home in front of him that had been reduced to ruins by the fire.She couldn't help but burst into tears.

And her father had already died under the butcher's knife of the Qing army.

Li Hongyu came to the center of the town and found her father's body among a pile of corpses placed there.

After bringing her father back to the ruined home, the little girl began to cry in the ruins while wiping the remaining blood on her father's body and sorting out his remains.

After restraining himself for his father, Li Hongyu sat there blankly, lost in confusion.

She doesn't know what to do in the future?
It’s not about what kind of fate you will face in the future...

In front of him was a crackling bonfire, the smell of burning wood wafting in the air, and Li Hongyu's profile turned red by the light of the fire.

Gollum...

There was a feeling of hunger in his belly, but the expression on Li Hongyu's face was still blank, as if he couldn't feel hungry.

tread!Tread!

Another burst of footsteps came from behind, and then a figure sat next to her.

Li Hongyu looked out of the corner of his eye and saw the old face of his old patriarch, which was full of furrows and wrinkles, like orange peel.

"Redfish girl, your father is gone. Think about what you are going to do next in advance."

"If you need anything, please tell me the clan leader at any time. If the clan can help, I will definitely help."

The old patriarch said with a tired voice.

Today, his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren all died tragically at the hands of the Qing army.

For an elderly man, this is really a huge blow.

If he hadn't still had a little grandchild alive who needed his care, the old man would have collapsed.

Li Hongyu sat with his knees crossed, his head buried in his legs, and he just spoke in a low voice.

"I want to avenge my father!"

The clan leader exhaled a breath, patted Li Hongyu on the shoulder, and then said helplessly.

"Idiot, idiot!"

"You are a little girl. You don't have swords or guns, and you can't fight on the battlefield. How can you help your father take revenge?"

"It's only right to be more open-minded, let go of hatred, and live your own life."

"If your father is alive in heaven, he would be happy to see you live happily."

When Li Hongyu heard this, he remained unmoved. He still buried his head between his knees and spoke angrily.

"I want to avenge my father!"

Seeing this, the old patriarch sighed even more helplessly.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, the old patriarch said to Li Hongyu again.

"By the way, Grandpa Patriarch, I heard that the Ming Army is now recruiting military doctors."

"Hongyu, didn't you learn a lot of medical skills from your father? You can try it!"

"If you become a medical officer of the Ming Army, resuscitate a few more wounded soldiers of the Ming Army, and let those wounded soldiers kill a few more Tatars, wouldn't it be regarded as avenging your father?"

"This is more reliable than a little girl like you going to the battlefield to wield swords and guns."

Hearing this, Li Hongyu raised his head from between his knees, his eyes full of emotion, but still unavoidably hesitant.

It’s not that I’m afraid of the military discipline of the Ming army!

It's because people in this era actually have some taboos about women becoming doctors.

They are afraid that the "bad luck" in women will worsen their condition.

In ancient times, armies were not allowed to bring women with them when marching. In fact, there was also the fear that women would be "unlucky" and affect the luck of the army, leading to the defeat of the army.

Therefore, although Li Hongyu wanted to move, he was also afraid that he would be rejected, and then he fell into entanglement.

"Grandpa Patriarch, I am a woman, can the Ming army accept me?"

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and together with it, there was Zhu Jing'an's hearty laughter.

"Acceptable!"

"If the governor says it can be collected, it means it can be collected!"

Zhu Jing'an really has no taboo about women becoming doctors.

How should I put it, he has seen many female doctors with superb medical skills in his later generations.

He even dated an ex-girlfriend who was a doctor.

But I have never seen a patient killed by a female doctor.

Although women are not as popular as male doctors on the whole due to their natural physical differences and their more emotional thinking, which often makes them unable to make the most rational decisions.

But to say that female doctors are "unlucky" is pure feudal superstition.

Really not!

When the old patriarch saw Zhu Jing'an and his people coming, he stood up from the fire and saluted.

"I've met the Grand Governor!"

Zhu Jing'an waved his hand and said.

"Don't be too polite!"

After saying this, he casually found a place and sat down by the campfire.

Then he spoke to Li Hongyu.

"The medical camp is really recruiting doctors. Girls can try."

"As long as your medical skills pass the test, I'll accept you."

"This is the promise I made to you. If someone uses the idea that women are unlucky to practice medicine to perfunctory you, you can ask him to come to me."

"The governor spoke to him personally!"

Hearing this, Li Hongyu stood up from the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Jing'an.

"The daughter of the people thanks the Governor for his grace!"

"If there is an afterlife, I will make a knot of grass and a ring to repay you!"

Zhu Jing'an nodded slightly and motioned for her to get up.

Then he turned to talk to the old patriarch.

I don’t care much about Li Hongyu!

How should I put it, mainly because Li Hongyu is not pretty enough.

If she was as beautiful as He Yuxiu and Zeng Yuanyuan, Zhu Jing'an wouldn't mind having an in-depth exchange of knowledge about primate mating and reproduction with her.

But it's a pity that Li Hongyu's appearance is just average.

Therefore, Zhu Jing'an didn't pay much attention to her. He just gave her a casual instruction to give her a chance to avenge her father.

"Old Patriarch, this governor is here because he has something important to ask you..."

The old patriarch nodded when he heard this.

"Grand Governor, feel free to ask questions, I will tell you everything you know!"

Zhu Jing'an nodded slightly and then asked.

"Going east from Chishui Market, along the Qianjiang River, it takes at most one or two days to reach Zhennanguan, the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi."

"Does the old patriarch know anything about Zhennanguan? Does the old patriarch have any suggestions for our army to attack Zhennanguan?"
