Wu Nian wanted to offer sacrifices to the people who were massacred in Chong County.

Zhang Li and other officials, of course, gave their full support and went to work together.

Zhang Li led Wu Nian to one of the few surviving mansions in the city to stay.

Zhang Li knew that the guards of this mansion would be taken over by Wu Nian's personal soldiers, so he did not arrange a servant or cook.

But there were eight maidservants in bright dresses, arranged in two rows, standing at the door to greet Wu Nian.

"General." When the eight maids saw Wu Nian, they immediately lowered their heads and saluted Wu Nian.

They are all sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate facial features and fair skin. They have the delicacy of beauties from the south of the Yangtze River, but they also have the height of northern women, and their figures are bulging forward and backward.

I'm afraid there aren't many maids with this kind of beauty in Chong County. Wu Nian was probably co-opted by a wealthy local family. Some of the maids secretly looked at him, their faces slightly red.

Wu Nian is not a hypocrite, he will be moved when he sees a beautiful woman.

A graceful lady, a gentleman is a good man.

But forget it now.

Tired.

Plus, the wounds on my body haven't healed yet.

Wu Nian turned around and said to the person who sent him here: "Thank you Master Zhang for me. It's just that I am tired from the army and can't bear it. You can take them back."

"Yes." Zhang Li's man immediately bowed in response.

After listening to Wu Nian's words, the eight maids looked more or less disappointed. This was a good opportunity to fly up the branch.

General Fu Han. Now he is a big shot who rules the entire Yingqing Mansion and takes life and death. If he can be a concubine and give birth to a boy and a girl, they will be able to enjoy happiness for the rest of their lives.

Of course they didn't dare to say anything more, so they left with resentment.

Wu Nian entered the mansion together with his soldiers. The soldiers quickly took over the security of the mansion, with spears and bows in hand, and the guards were tight.

Wu Nian wanted to take a bath and go to sleep. But first he came to the main room and sat down, waiting for someone.

“Da da da!!!”

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps. Wang Gui hurriedly walked in from outside. When he saw Wu Nianhou, his face showed joy and said: "General, it's great to see you safe and sound."

They are all brothers. When Wang Gui heard that Wu Nian had invaded the Mongolian and Yuan lands, he was really frightened and could not sleep at night.

When I learned that Wu Nian had won a great victory, I couldn't help but be happy.

Now that I see Wu Nian in person, he is very energetic.

He was filled with joy.

Wu Nian was also very happy to see Wang Gui. He even boasted and said with a smile: "Brother, you are worrying too much. I have elite soldiers and I can conquer the world. Meng Yuan is just a small quagmire."

"Hahaha. That's right." Wang Gui laughed and nodded.

The two brothers talked and laughed and were very happy.

After a long time, Wu Nian asked: "Brother, how are the soldiers under your command doing now?"

"Confused." Wang Gui waved his hand, shook his head and said: "General, you have confused our armies. Now I have the old troops under my command, and there are three soldiers of thousands of Han households who surrendered in Yaxian County. There are also soldiers from the Chongqing Dynasty.

The county surrenders its troops."

"Without your order, I can't organize myself, so I can only practice in a daze."

"This is a problem. When I go back, I will have to redistribute military power to you and redefine the defense zones according to your situation."

Wu Nian suppressed his smile and nodded seriously.

Yingqing Prefecture has been captured, and army expansion is an urgent matter. But how to expand the army, we must first go back to Jiang County to see. Liu Zhixing should have counted the entire population of Yingqing Prefecture.

There were also tens of thousands of Han soldiers who surrendered in Chongxian, Yaxian and Yunxian counties.

Plus a Zhao Yanting.

The current Yingqing Mansion is actually a mess. It needs to be straightened out before we can organize our troops to attack the Mongolians again.

"Then the relationship is good. Otherwise it would be a blur." Wang Gui said with joy on his face.

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time. Wu Nian wanted to take a bath and take a nap, but he became more and more energetic. So he took Wang Gui with him to eat and drink.

Wang Gui was left to sleep in the house.

It is also necessary to choose a suitable day for this sacrifice. Zhang Li considered that he had many things to do during the year of Wu and could not stay in Chong County for a long time.

So I picked a date nearby.

On the same day.

The weather is sunny and windless.

Wu Nian dispatched all the soldiers currently in Chong County, lined up from the city gate to the cemetery, and arranged soldiers around the cemetery.

Solemn and solemn.

Wu Nian was wearing black clothes and a black ribbon on his head. He was astride a black horse and rode forward with a solemn expression.

Wang Gui and Chong County officials followed closely behind. Further behind were the people in the city who participated voluntarily.

Soon, Wu Nian arrived at the cemetery.

Thousands of people are buried in the cemetery.

Zhang Li used all his strength to arrange a wooden plank for each person and bury them closely. He didn't know who was who, so he could only put up a large burial mound.

Following Wu Nian's order, he erected a tombstone and wrote "The soul is back".

Then around the cemetery, walls were built and a courtyard was built.

There were special officials who formulated the etiquette. Pigs, cattle and sheep were used as sacrifices. Wu Nian presented the sacrifices, the heads of Puguli, and the heads of more than a dozen Mongolian and Yuan commanders and county magistrates.

Wu Nian was dressed in black and looked like a wooden figure throughout the whole process, worshiping according to etiquette.

Until the end, Wu Nian came to the tombstone of "The Return of the Soul" with a bowl of wine and poured the wine in the bowl.

"Rest in peace. I avenged you."

Wu Nian thought to himself.

real.

After being massacred in Chong County, Wu Daye could not sleep. It was as if there were countless dead souls wailing and pleading in his mind.

The undead begged him to avenge themselves.

Wu Nian had nowhere to vent his anger, so he simply entered the Mongolian and Yuan lands and paid for his debt with blood. Now, his mind is clear.

The undead have been redeemed.

Immediately, he turned around and looked ahead. Soldiers lined up on both sides, solemn and solemn. The nobles and officials were the first echelon, and the common people were the second echelon.

Everyone exudes an aura of sadness.

Buried here are all unclaimed corpses. In other words, they are extinct. But they still have neighbors.

The surviving people felt the same way.

If they hadn't run so fast, they would have ended up buried here.

At this point, the sacrifice was supposed to be over. But when Wu Nian saw the people in Chongxian County in front of him, some of his words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out.

Wu Nian took a deep breath and said loudly: "Folks and compatriots, I am very sad about what happened in Chong County. But is this just a matter about Chong County?"

"No. This is a matter of the whole Liaodong. We Han people have a saying called "Everyone sweeps the snow in front of his door." I think it is bullshit."

"Now I have pacified Yingqing Prefecture and driven away the Meng Yuan people. But there are still people in Huanglong Prefecture, Nanhai Prefecture, Guangchuan Prefecture, and Guangyang Prefecture living under the rule of the Meng Yuan people. If we don't do something

, what happened in Chong County will happen again.”

"There is another saying. [With all the people in the house, how can there be a perfect egg]. If Liaodong is gone, Yingqing Prefecture and Chong County will not be able to survive alone."

"So I said. [Expel the Tartars and restore Liaodong]."

"Do you understand what I mean when I tell you this?"

"For the survival of all us Han people, please don't be stingy. Send your sons, husbands, and brothers to the battlefield and let them fight and die with me."

"Save your rations and provide them for us."

"The days that follow will be very hard, very hard. But I firmly believe that I will be able to do it and return a bright future to Liaodong."

"I know that too. Some people will still say that I, Wu Nian, am militaristic, cruel and tyrannical. But I, Wu Nian, have a clear conscience."

"Those who laugh at me, scold me, and insult me, let them do what they say."

"I only care about you, folks. Do you believe me?"
