Chapter 171: Make a rule

With a call to bury.

The two soldiers carried a corpse and gently placed it into the dug tomb. There was no coffin but only a quilt, or a quilt that had not covered three nights.

This quilt was made of hay that Zhu Youxiao could not bear to send to them when he saw that their quilt was filled with hay. The quilt was very new and the soldiers loved it very much, just like they cared for silver.

It’s a pity that such a warm quilt can no longer work today. The bones inside the quilt are already cold and he can no longer warm it up.

These soldiers were born in poor families, with nothing on their bodies, and even a burial object. Maybe there is only a pair of new cotton shoes and a pair of new quilts.

It’s not that Zhu Youxiao didn’t want to give these soldiers a coffin, but that there were really not so many. The more than 4,000 coffins in Jinzhou City could not be found, and even if they were paid, they couldn’t buy them.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't find the coffin even if he wanted to find it in Harbour City, because cremation was popular in later generations. Cremation did not require coffins, but only a square urn was needed.

But can you use urns for these soldiers? You cannot cremate with urns. What is that? It is called crushing bones and ashes! That is not courtesy, that is great hatred!

Doesn’t cremating these soldiers mean that the emperor hates these soldiers so much that he grits his teeth!

It's me that I'm sorry for you. Even the end of the day I didn't even use a coffin.

There was no preparation for any ritual in a hurry to bury, and even a few sounds of suona did not appear, only the melodious and sad cry sounded.

Zhu Youxiao was sad and a little guilty.

Forget it, I can only do that much, I will bow to you again!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao bowed to the end at the graves at 90 degrees.

"Your Majesty!" Qin Liangyu and Wei Zhengxiong saw that the emperor was actually bowing, and immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao.

Their heads meant that the dead soldiers were kowtowed to the emperor, and it was only natural for him to work hard for the emperor, but the emperor treated him with the courtesy of the national scholars today. Qin Liangyu and Wei Zhengxiong's loyalty to Zhu Youxiao was rising.

Originally, Qin Liangyu and Wei Zhengxiong's loyalty was to the Ming Dynasty, but now they have truly put their loyalty on Zhu Youxiao.

What else can the emperor who loves soldiers like his sons not follow him?

Zhu Youzhai was really uncomfortable when he bowed on the stage. This bow was sincere.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao’s original intention of burial was to win people’s hearts, but as he did, Zhu Youxiao couldn’t stop himself. He felt that his mind was so narrow-minded that others gave their lives for you, but you just wanted to let others work hard for you.

Zhu Youxiao felt that he was very owed to these soldiers, especially to them.

"I have set a rule here that if anyone dies in battle, if his parents are alive, if he has children and underage, all supplies will be provided by the court. If he is disabled, local officials need to find a way for them to live after returning home. If any local officials violate this rule, they can hold a blood letter to Chengtianmen and report the imperial complaint! I will personally send someone to investigate thoroughly!"

"Long live my emperor!"

All the officials and soldiers present bowed to Zhu Youxiao.

That’s all Zhu Youxiao can do for the time being.

At this time, a man and a pair of horses suddenly appeared in the distance and came quickly towards the place.

"Report to Your Majesty! A large number of Jiannu soldiers and horses were found forty miles ahead. Please return to the city quickly!" The cavalry rode on horseback and gasped and returned to report.

"Wu Xiang quickly organizes the people back to the city, and the army follows me and cut off the back!" Zhu Youxiao ordered without thinking.

"Your Majesty! Please think that the displaced minister will cut off the queen for the people!" Wu Xiang said anxiously. He could not let the emperor cut off the queen. He was the deputy general and should command the troops to protect the emperor.

"If you want to leave, just leave! You still want to resist the order!" Zhu Youxiao's attitude was very firm.

"Abide by the order!" Wu Xiang had no choice but to think about bringing the people back to the city quickly, so that the emperor could be safe.

When the people heard that Jiannu's large number of troops approached, they were panicked, rushing around like headless flies. Wu Xiang was unable to command the people for a moment. Even if he led his soldiers there, it would be useless.

Zhu Youxiao saw it and was anxious. He understood that Jiannu would come over at any time and could not let his people go so chaotic, so he asked someone to take out a treble for him.

"Dear people, don't panic and don't be confused. I am for your palace. Don't worry, Jiannu will never hurt you! I promise!" Under the action of the tweeter, Zhu Youxiao's voice resounded throughout the audience.

I don’t know why the people immediately stabilized after hearing this voice. What is the emperor afraid of here? The emperor’s body of thousands of gold is here, so he can definitely protect us people.

So all the people quickly returned to the city under the leadership of Wu Xiang, and Zhu Youxiao led the 20,000 troops out of the city to make a defensive formation and slowly followed the people to make a defense.

Unfortunately, even Jiannu was not discovered until Zhu Youxiao finally entered the city.

"What's the situation?" Zhu Youxiao stood at the entrance of the city and looked into the distance.

Didn’t it mean that a large number of Jiannu are approaching? Why didn’t none of them come? Could it be that the distance is too far and they haven’t come yet?

A large number of soldiers on the top of the city had already climbed the city wall, looking into the distance, ready to fight to the death with Jiannu at any time.

No one was afraid of death, and even a little envious. A little Qiu Ba was so valued by the emperor. Even if he died below, he would be very proud!

Who were the closest troops? It was the 10,000 cavalry led by Dorgon and Duoduo. They walked one by two horses and finally arrived in Jinzhou at this time, and then turned their heads to advance towards the path that Jinzhou must pass.

Dorgon had an ambition in his heart, that is, what a great contribution it would be if the emperor of the Southern Barbarian was caught by him.

He is already seventeen years old this year, but he is not the banner owner Beller at this time. He just led the fifteen Niulu with his brother Duoduo. After all, he is still a minor child, and his political status is not as good as Ajige, and even his younger brother Duoduo.

Dorgon was eager to prove himself and prove that he had grown up and could stand alone, so he was not satisfied with Huang Taiji's orders only severing the orders of the Southern Barbarian Emperor. He was thinking of joining the Eight Banners soldiers led by Oboi, and taking advantage of the sudden attack of the Southern Barbarian Emperor's carriage and waiting for Lao Lai to rush into the enemy and grab the Southern Barbarian Emperor.

This is not a difficult task. His purpose is not to completely wipe out the Ming army. It is probably not difficult to capture the Southern Barbarian Emperor. As long as he can attack him unexpectedly, he promised that the Southern Barbarian army could not react and seize the target.

The attacks of tens of thousands of cavalry cannot be reflected by 30,000 infantrymen.

Huang Taiji, you should have given me my stuff this time!
Chapter completed!
