Defeated, the imperial court's army was defeated. Tens of thousands of imperial court's army were wiped out by the Yan Huang National Defense Army outside of Ginkou, and their corpses stretched for miles! The Commander-in-Chief of the Yan Huang National Defense Army, Zhu Lingye, was leading the army to pursue the Southern General of the Imperial Court, Ali Man!
This shocking news spread within a radius of 50 miles in less than three hours. Tens of thousands of civilians were shocked and questioned whether it was true.
Many of the roads leading to Ginkou were filled with people.
"Your Li Family Village is also going to Ginkou?”
"Of course, why not? Didn't the National Defense Force say that anyone who participated in cleaning up the battlefield would receive two catties of sweet potatoes? There are two catties of sweet potatoes for both adults and children. There are four people in my family, so I can get eight catties. If I save some to cook porridge, I can eat it for half a month!”
"Sigh, that's true, but I don't know if the National Defense Force has really defeated the imperial court's army! What if it's fake…"
"Fake my ass! My third aunt's neighbor's brother-in-law just came back and said that when the National Defense Army and the Qing army were fighting in the Guyang Mountain area, they were digging bamboo shoots in the nearby mountains and saw tens of thousands of Qing soldiers being killed and injured by the artillery shells. Then, the National Defense Army rushed over and fired their machine guns and rifles. The remaining 20,000 Qing soldiers were all killed in less than an hour.”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Their entire family went ahead of time. They're probably already at the Yanggu Mountain. We have to hurry over. What if there's no work later and they don't give out sweet potatoes?”
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right. Hurry up!”
"The Flame King is truly formidable. He has just conquered Ginkou and immediately defeated the tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Southern General. Should we cut our braids and submit to the Flame King?”
"Flame King, why are you called Flame King? Wasn't he called the Commander-in-Chief?”
"Our village has a daughter who married into the Wang Family Village. Yesterday, the daughter came back to deliver rice to her parents and said that the Wang Family Village has submitted to the National Defense Force.”
"I heard that Zhu Lingye, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force, forced them to cut their braids. The village chief was unwilling, so he was shot to death by Zhu Lingye. His brain was beaten out, and the men in his village were so scared that they cut their braids obediently.”
" Zhu Lingye is the living King of Hell, and his Revolutionary Army is called the Yan Huang National Defense Force. The people of the Wang Family Village call him the Flame King, so I think the Flame King sounds nice too."
"Moreover, the young men of the Wang Family Village have all joined the Flame King's army. Every family gets two catties of white rice every day. Tsk, tsk, tsk ~"
"The Flame King is too good. Two catties of fine rice per family. My God, how much does he have to send out in a day?”
"I don't know, but the Flame King is really good. Not only does he give food to eat, but he also lets the military doctors treat the people who have submitted to him. He gives out something called sharp candy.”
"Don't scare us. There are worms in your stomach?”
"Yeah, I heard it's called a roundworm. The child's stomach hurts because of roundworms. After eating sharp candy and pulling out the worms, the stomach won't hurt anymore.”
"Whoa, really?"
" I don't know. I'll know when I go and see for myself…"
The refugees chatted along the way, spreading the news about the National Defense Force.
By the time they reached the edge of the battlefield at Sun Valley Mountain, it was already afternoon.
At this moment, there was only a company of soldiers on the battlefield instructing the refugees to carry weapons and ammunition into the trucks and collect the corpses of the Qing army.
After they were done, they would go to Ginkou to get two catties of sweet potatoes each.
There was strength in numbers.
One after another, a total of 70,000 to 80,000 refugees participated in this large-scale battlefield cleaning activity.
The sun had yet to set. On the battlefield, apart from the scorched earth and craters, even pieces of minced meat were picked up by groups of children and thrown into the pit, buried with the corpses.
After cleaning everything up, a battalion commander of the National Defense Force with the rank of major stood on a large rock and shouted at the tens of thousands of people.
"Let's call it a day. Everyone, go to the city gate to get the sweet potatoes. Don't worry, everyone will have a share, do you hear me?”
I heard it.
The refugees cheered as they rushed towards Ginkou.
He could finally have a full meal!
……
At the city gate.
The Heavy Artillery Regiment had already put the cannons on the trucks and towed them away, following Zhu Lingye to attack Gui Province.
There were a few piles of sweet potatoes piled up on the artillery position just now. They were piled up into a few hills, weighing hundreds of tons.
Zhu Lingye bought them from the System Store. They were very cheap, only 2000 silver coins per ton.
If he bought a hundred tons, he would get five tons free. The more he bought, the more free he would get.
Therefore, Zhu Lingye bought 2,000 tons at once and filled up several granaries in the city.
In this era of famine, fine rice was fine, but sweet potatoes were better. After they had conquered their territory, they would start to study how to deal with floods and start planting hybrid rice on a large scale.
Tens of thousands of starving refugees rushed over like hungry wolves when they saw the sweet potato mountain.
There were too many people. If they didn't stop them, they would definitely be trampled on.
Dada dada dada ~
More than two hundred soldiers who were maintaining order made a prompt decision and raised their guns at the same time.
"Don't push. Line up and come one by one. Whoever dares to cut the line will be shot on the spot!”
