Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 521: Why didn't the concubine come to rescue us?

On the official road from Kunming to Yongchang, the cry shook the sky, and tens of thousands of people chased the Tianzi motorcade with the old and the young. They didn't know where it was safe, they only knew that it might be safer to follow the emperor. After all, the emperor's car was escorted by the army. As for where the emperor went, they didn't know anything. In order to catch up with the emperor's car, the people tried their best to catch up, and the soles of their feet were blistered.

The retreat was extremely hasty. The Yongli court did not send staff to organize the people to retreat. The King of Jin only posted a bulletin in the city that ordered the people to evacuate. In addition, they did not send troops to organize the retreat, which led to the great retreat of Kunming City. It started with panic and extreme chaos. The chief soldier Jin Tongwu who escorted the chariot was only dedicated to guarding the emperor's car and did not pay attention to the people. As a result, after a large number of Kunming people chased the holy car from Xicheng, the entire retreating team, including the guards and horses, fell into chaos.

No one knew how to solve the chaotic scene in front of them, and no one stood up to maintain order. Everyone was desperately running westward. In some crowded areas, there were even tragic scenes of people trampling on each other. The horse-drawn carriages and mule-drawn carriages of some wealthy people in Kunming collided with the carriages of Tianzi's motorcade in the dark. As a result, more than a dozen vehicles overturned on the road, making the team even more chaotic. In the chaos, there were rogue marketers taking advantage of the fire to loot, and the cries of the women who were robbed of their burdens made all the people feel sympathy and mourning everywhere.

The emperor's carriage consisted of more than 100 carriages. The emperor Zhu Youlang himself sat in the largest carriage in the middle of the convoy, followed by the carriages of the queen mother and the queen, followed by the carriage of the prince and others. Some high-ranking internal supervisors and palace maids in the inner court will also be crowded together in a carriage as they slowly move forward with the convoy. The internal supervisors and palace maids who have no status can only drag the carriage forward with their hands, and the carriage will move forward. No matter how slow it is, the palace maids and the inner supervisors have walked for so long, and their physical strength is also unable to support them. There are constantly people desperately letting go of their hands and squatting on the side of the road, crying, begging the passing vehicles to pick them up, but there is no one. ignore them.

Hundreds of carriages were actually allocated to the inner court, but only a dozen or so. The rest of the carriages were allocated to accompanying officials. Among them, Ma Jixiang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, occupied 17 carriages, and the old and young of the Ma family sat in five or six. The rest are full of Ma Jixiang's corruption and bribery gains in recent years. Big boxes and small boxes were filled with carriages, causing the wheels to roll out deep marks on the ground. Sili Supervisor Wang Kun also got six carriages, which were also filled with his income over the past few years, and his disciples and grandchildren, like those ordinary palace maids and inner supervisors, could only follow the carriage.

Grand scholars Fugang and Lei Yuelong, as well as officials such as Liubu Shangshu and Shilang, all ride in carriages, and their families are taken care of and assigned to accompany them in carriages, but more accompanying officials can only follow the team on two legs. I don't know how many officials angrily took off their official robes and threw them on the road, and then left the holy car without looking back. They were really desperate for the emperor, and for the Ming court.

The eldest princess of Changle, Meng Wang and Queen Miss Nian also got a carriage, and sat in the carriage with the three maids who were waiting for her. She thought of the scene in Guangzhou City ten years ago, when she was only seven years old, and was carried away from the city in panic by a wet nurse.

"Your Highness, where are we going? Can we come back?"

Cui'er is the youngest. She is a native of Kunming. She has only been in the palace for more than a year. Where did she pass through such an escape scene, and choked in a low voice, she was really scared and worried. She was very afraid of her parents and younger brother. Without escaping from the city, she was afraid that she would never see her relatives again.

The other two palace maids, one surnamed He, was the oldest, in her forties. She was an old palace maid who had followed the holy car all the way from Zhaoqing. She was called Mama He in the palace. There is also a palace maid surnamed Qin, 19 years old, who is also a native of Kunming like Cui'er.

Mother He had experienced the nightmare of the emperor fleeing from Zhaoqing, and she was old, so she was not as frightened as Cui'er and Qin'er, she just sat there silently watching the outside. Qin Er was also afraid, but did not cry, and looked at Her Royal Highness like a frightened bunny.

Chang Le looked back at Cui Er who was tearful, and shook his head slightly: "I don't know if we can come back."

Cui'er heard the words, her tears fell even more, she sobbed and said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, didn't Master Guo say that the soldiers of the concubine are very good at fighting, not even the Manchu Tartars have beaten him, Why didn't he come to rescue us?"

Changle was startled, not knowing how to answer Cui'er's words. Thinking of the husband-in-law who had not met in Guangdong, Changle felt a pain in his heart for no reason, his nose was sore, and there was only one thought in his heart: Does he know me?

"Where is General Jin, where is General Jin, the King of Jin has a handbook!"

Zhu Youlang, who was closing his eyes and resting in the car, suddenly heard the shouts of soldiers outside, saying that it was Jin Tongwu who was escorted by the king of Jin. Suddenly, he led his men to beat the horse back, and Zhu Youlang couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly sent his servant Qi Er over to ask what happened.

After inquiring, Qi Er came over and said, "Your Majesty, General Jin received an order from King Jin to burn all the grain depots in Kunming, so as not to fund the enemy, so he brought people back to burn the grain."

When he heard that the King of Jin wanted Jin Tongwu to burn down the grain storage in Kunming, Zhu Youlang frowned and said very dissatisfied: "How can this be done? If the Qing army finds that there is no food after entering the city, isn't it going to harm the people? It is my will to store grain in Kunming. It must not be burned and left to the Qing army."

"Your Majesty, this?"

The Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo, who was on horseback, almost fell off his horse when he heard the emperor's will.

Qi Er was also stunned there. No matter what he didn't know, he also knew that the food must not be left to the Qing army, but he didn't know why the emperor insisted on leaving the food to the Qing army. He was stunned, not knowing when to pass the decree. Seeing that he did not move, Yongli said angrily: "You slave, I said that the food should not be burned for the Qing army, why don't you hurry up and pass the decree!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slaves are going to pass the decree."

Seeing the emperor's anger, Qi Er had no choice but to trot all the way to tell Jin Tongwu the decree. Jin Tongwu, who was about to take people back to burn food, frowned after listening to the emperor's order, and finally sighed and obeyed the emperor's will.

When Fu Gang heard that the emperor was not allowed to burn the grain stored in Kunming, he was shocked, and said to Lei Yuelong, who was crowded in a carriage with him, "Your Majesty is a woman's kindness. It was extremely difficult for the army to raise food along the way. King Jin voluntarily gave up Kunming and implemented a strong wall to clear the fields, in order to prevent the Qing army from raising food and forage. Without food and forage, the Qing army would not be able to establish a foothold in Kunming, and it would be impossible to take advantage of the victory. Don't let the food burn, but leave all the food to the Qing army, isn't this to let the Qing army eat and drink enough to have the strength to chase us?"

Lei Yuelong shook his head and said with a bitter expression, "The emperor has ordered, what can we do?"

"No, food must not be left to the Qing army, let's go to persuade them quickly"

Fu Gang couldn't help but say that he was going to pull Lei Yuelong to speak, but he heard Emperor Yongli's exclamation from the front: "Where is my treasure, where is my treasure!"

Dabao?

Fugang and Lei Yuelong both change color~www.NovelMTL.com~ The big treasure is the jade seal, could it be that the jade seal is lost!

"How did you slaves clean up for me and leave my treasure behind? Isn't this what you deserve to be damned!"

Emperor Yongli, who found that the jade seal was lost, was so angry that his face turned blue, Wang Kun rushed to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, why don't the old slave send someone back to look for it?"

Not wanting Yongli Emperor, he shook his head, and said in a sullen mood: "Forget it, if you lose it, you will lose it. When you reach Yongchang, you can ask someone to re-carve it." After speaking, he added, "Use gold to re-carve one. "

"Old slave knows."

Wang Kun responded, but in his heart he was scolding the people below for what they should do, and even lost the emperor's jade seal. If the Qing army got it, it would be fine!

In the distance, Fu Gang and Lei Yuelong looked at each other, they both sighed at the same time, and invariably turned their heads and got into the carriage, never mentioning the matter of cooking food again.

Bones has been really busy and tired recently. I dare not say much about the update. I only promise that it will never be broken. (To be continued.)
