There is nothing that makes the people in the city happier than a truckload of food entering the city.

The grain was distributed on the street, and the head of the people was responsible for the food. The people who received the food were happy. After the war, Kaifeng City finally saw the smoke from the world again.

Zhu Cilang, who entered the city, was filled with emotion. This was the life that the people should have. Along the way, he was used to killing, ruins, and darkness of human nature.

Zhu Cilang really doesn't want to see the scene of people living in poverty and starving for thousands of miles. There is also the city that was looted by the bandits, nine out of ten rooms are empty and empty.

Although Kaifeng City has suffered from war, the people have survived. If they survive, there will be hope.

Our nation has experienced too much suffering, and they are still tenacious. As long as they are given soil, they can take roots and sprout and scatter. Everyone should be proud of us being born in this nation.

The smoke in the city is rippling, and some are happy and some are worried. Those who survive will continue to live. Those who die will return to the dust.

Almost every household has a slap in the air, and every family has paid a heavy price in this battle to defend Kaifeng.

Walking on the streets of Kaifeng City, you can often hear the crying sounds coming from every household.

Zhu Cilang stepped on the ruined land in the city, followed by Zuo Liangyu and King Zhu Gongye of Zhou. Behind him were generals from all walks of life.

Everyone was silent, everyone was in a heavy mood. After winning a brief victory, the soldiers of the 12th Regiment Battalion silently bandaged their wounds. Then they picked up their weapons and continued to chase and suppress the remaining bandits.

Zhu Cixuan entered the Zhou Palace, and the scene in front of him also moved him a little. Almost all the things that could be sold in the Zhou Palace were sold.

Zhu Gongxian has been raising military funds and spared no effort to raise them. It is not that he is loyal and brave, but that he knows that he has lost his lips and his teeth are cold.

Once Kaifeng City was broken, Li Zicheng was the first to attack him, Prince Zhou's Mansion.

After the troops entered Henan, after Li Zicheng captured Luoyang, after he was annihilated by the Ming army, Li Zicheng conquered cities and territory in Henan, conquered Shangshui, Yexian, Xiangcheng, Nanyang, Dengzhou and other places. Many princes, including the Ming royal family, Zhu Yu-ling, and Yanjin, died. For a time, the morale of the peasant army was high and it was unstoppable.

I don’t know how many princes died at the hands of Li Zicheng, but Zhu Gongzi knew very well that if Kaifeng City was broken, he would be the first one who was unlucky. Therefore, Zhu Gongzi did not hesitate to disperse all his family’s wealth and must protect Kaifeng City.

Zhu Cilang was very moved and took Zhu Gongye's hand: "Uncle is a true role model of the Ming Dynasty. He will spend all his money in this way and will swear to fight the bandits to the end. My nephew is very moved."

Zhu Gongzi wiped his tears and said indignantly: "I am not in harmony with the bandits. Even if I take this old bone, as long as I defend Kaifeng City, it will be worth it. Money is something outside my body, and I just wish I could save more money."

Princess Zhou, who was standing by, was a smart man. She hurriedly said, "Your Highness, my prince is not just a simple matter to spend all his family's wealth to deal with the bandits. All the servants in our palace were also sent to defend the city. Originally, more than 70 servants came back alive, only these sixteen people."

Zhu Cilang was shocked: "Oh, where are those servants, I must go and have a look."

Zhu Gongzi hurriedly made a 'please' gesture: "Crown Prince comes here."

Zhu Cilang was very moved, Zhu Gongyan was very passionate. In fact, both sides were more of acting. Zhu Gongyan tried hard to show his righteousness and his determination to fight the bandits to the end. Zhu Cilang tried hard to show his touch in his heart. This is the King of Zhou, who is simply a loyal minister among the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Zuo Liangyu was also average. There were no ten soldiers in his army, only 70,000 soldiers and horses, leaving only 50,000 or 6,000 people. Even though they had the element of playing, judging from the heavy price they paid, Zhu Cixuan believed that they were indeed loyal ministers.

At this time, Henan was not peaceful, and it was a long way to go to wipe out Li Zicheng's remnants of power.

But at this time, something happened again. The Ming army, a local Ming army that once fought with bandits, actually robbed them. This incident shocked Zhu Cixuan.

After the first offensive and defensive battle in Kaifeng, the former governor of Henan Li Xianfeng was reported by Gao Mingheng for the loss of Luoyang. Chongzhen ordered the arrest of Li Xianfeng. Thinking of Chongzhen's ruthlessness in killing ministers, Li Xianfeng knew that he was doomed, so he hanged himself to death. Gao Mingheng was promoted to the right assistant censor and the governor of Henan. Chen Yongfu was promoted to the general officer for his merits.

After Li Zicheng led his army to move westward, Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue led his army to follow him. The two sides fought fiercely in Mingfu, north of Songshan, and each other won and lost. The Ming army failed to give the peasant army a fatal blow.

While Yang Wenyue was entangled with the civilian army, Chongzhen ordered the commander Ding Qirui to reinforce the Henan official army. Ding Qirui held the Shangfang sword he gave to the imperial court and led the troops to enter the Central Plains in a whisper. Seeing that Li Zicheng's army was powerful and did not dare to fight with him, he went to pursue Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's troops. In Jingzhou, Hubei, he wanted to cross the river south. Huguang Governor Wang Chengzhao hid all the ships in the ferry and questioned Ding Qirui: "According to the reliable information I have at present, the bandits are currently wandering in Henan, and it is very peaceful here, so I won't bother you to come here in person." Ding Qirui had no choice but to return north. When passing through Dengzhou, Nanyang, when the defenders closed the city gates and prevented him from entering the city. After passing Neixiang, the local governments were afraid that his troops would rush to move, so they closed the market directly... Ding Qirui's Ming army became rats crossing the street. Although no one shouted to beat him, they were turned away everywhere.

In other words, both peasant army and officers and soldiers regarded robbery as common. Zhu Cixuan's 12th Regiment Battalion had strict military discipline and strictly prohibited robbery. This is a serious crime in the army and there is no mercy to kill.

But in this case, some people dared to commit crimes against the wind. Why were the officers and soldiers of the Ming army not favored before? Many people hated them even when they mentioned them. It was because before that, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army also had shameful acts of robbing the people.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army of Taikang actually robbed the people. That's not all, Taikang commander Shi Liangzhi actually killed the people without any contribution. The news was just as Taikang army leaders who ran to Kaifeng City to find the prince to report. This matter was revealed.

Zhu Cixuan was furious when he heard this. The bandits looted the people, and the people hated them to the core. The officers and soldiers actually robbed the people and killed innocent people indiscriminately. This made the people of Henan look at the officers and soldiers. How did people in the world view the officers and soldiers? What is the difference between such officers and soldiers and bandits?

Zhu Cilang attached great importance to this matter. He wanted to personally interrogate Taikang's army, and not to tear the commander Shi Liangzhi to pieces, it would not be enough to calm the public's anger. Unexpectedly, Shi Liangzhi seemed to know that he was doomed and actually committed suicide.
