Chapter 81 Numbness

When Hu Guang saw that the flies finally stopped buzzing, he pulled Wen Tiren back to the work group, and then said, "Ms. Liu Wang, did you hear what I just said?"

This time, Mrs. Liu Wang responded immediately: "The civilian woman heard it!"

"Wow, little monk, who are you from Mr. Wen?" Ruhua interjected, her tone full of surprise, "The slave family heard that Mr. Wen is very low-key, but I didn't expect that I would say this because of you. If so, the relationship must be extraordinary!"

An unusual relationship? No, he is just my wage earner! Hu Guang listened and replied silently in his heart.

He had something serious to do, and now that Ma Fugui had been restrained, he took this opportunity to say to Mrs. Liu Wang: "Ms. Liu, please take note, I will tell you a weapon to defend the city. The specific method is like this..."

Then he explained the method of blooming bombs, and finally confirmed: "Do you remember it?"

In fact, this thing is not difficult, it is just an idea. Liu Wang's husband was a government servant, and she had a little more knowledge than ordinary women. Therefore, Hu Guang only told it once, and she remembered it.

After hearing her affirmative answer, Hu Guang ordered again: "Tell your husband and let him convey it, or you can tell Zuo Yingxuan directly and ask him to make this kind of explosive bomb as soon as possible to defend the city. No training is required. Ordinary civilians It can be used by any strong person, and it should be able to inflict a lot of damage on the Jianlu and hold on until reinforcements arrive."

If he had said this before, Mrs. Liu might not have dared to say it. After all, the county magistrate was someone she looked up to. Even if I tell the child's father, I am still afraid of being scolded if I say something wrong.

But now, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty strongly defended the universal salvation of sentient beings, which invisibly increased the weight and authority of his speech. Therefore, although she did not understand, she agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that this matter had an end, Hu Guang stopped wasting time and just said "I'm busy" to Ruhua, and then withdrew from the chat group.

At this time, all the civil and military officials had almost left, and the remaining six ministers and cabinet ministers, including Mangui, remained silent, waiting for him to issue an order.

Hu Guang looked up at the Jianlu army in the distance outside the city. He saw no unusual movement, so he smiled at Man Gui and said, "I still have to give you an explanation!"

In Man Gui's surprised eyes, Hu Guang turned to the senior Ming official beside him and said, "Let's go with me to see the injured soldiers!"

For people in later generations, everyone knows that visiting an injured subordinate is the most common trick to win the favor of his subordinates.

In ancient times, this kind of situation also existed, but those who could do this were famous generals and capable ministers. As for the emperor taking the highest officials to visit ordinary wounded soldiers, this is probably the first time in five thousand years.

Upon hearing his words, everyone on the first floor was stunned. Whether they were senior civil servants or ordinary chamberlains, they were all the same.

Seeing their reaction, Hu Guang didn't bother to say anything and went straight to the stairs.

When Wen Tiren came back to his senses, he felt that it was too shocking, and considering his safety, when he was about to give advice, he found that the emperor had already arrived at the stairs.

At this glance, he immediately remembered the emperor's style of doing things these days. In a flash of thought, Wen Tiren gave up his idea and was the first to follow.

The eunuch responsible for security came to his senses and quickly waved his hand, especially to Fang Zhenghua, Dongfang Bubai, and said: "Follow quickly and protect your majesty's safety!"

With the two of them taking the lead, the others had no choice but to follow, no matter what they thought.

The street leading to the city gate is wide and flat, but it is guarded by Han generals and Jin Yiwei. The adjacent alleys are relatively narrow.

These alleys were filled with injured soldiers from the city wall, who were bandaged briefly and leaned against the wall. On the road near the inside, there are rows of corpses, all of which were soldiers who died in the battle just now. Nearly two thousand people were killed or injured, all arranged in these alleys. The number of people in each alley seemed a bit too much.

A group of soldiers were scattered in the alley, taking care of the dead and wounded. It can be seen from the treatment of placement and bandaging that these people actually did not take care of them seriously. They looked numb, as if they were used to life and death, or their attitude towards human life was the same as towards animals such as pigs, sheep, and cattle, and they might even A little bit meaner.

These wounded people may have had this awareness and did not complain about it, or they might have a look of pain on their faces, or they might just be numb. Only some seriously injured people faced death and made some noise. But he was immediately scolded and told to shut up.

These wounded men either had their eyes closed like clay sculptures; or they turned their eyes to look at the guards patrolling the alley with knives, and occasionally showed a hint of envy; or they turned to look at the street outside the alley, as if they wanted to see what was there. .

When the civil and military officials of the current dynasty were leaving in sedan chairs or riding horses, someone occasionally noticed what was going on in the alley. However, these people just took a look at it and disappeared at the entrance of the alley as if they had not seen anything.

When the wounded heard the movement on the street, they just looked up and then thought that the officials were nothing. They know very well that these officials don't care about them.

Time seems to have stood still for them. One by one, they just accepted their fate and waited for the arrangement given to them by fate.

The cold wind howled, causing the wounded to huddle together as much as possible to stay warm. Even the burly general they could see standing on the street stood there with his hands and neck hunched.

At some point, there seemed to be some movement on the street, causing several wounded people who were close to the street to turn their heads and look.

I saw that the big Han general actually reversed the huddled posture just now. It seemed that the wind was no longer cold at this time, and he stood up like a flower with his head held high.

Soon, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the alley. Instead of leaving the street, they turned into the alley, which surprised them.

Before I could see who was coming in, I heard a high-pitched voice singing loudly: "The Emperor has arrived..."

This shout was like an earth-shattering shock, causing everyone in the alley to turn their heads in shock. Everyone was surprised. Even the lowest-level officials didn't bother to look down the alley. Then the emperor, who is the emperor, would come here? The first thought of these people was that they heard wrongly.

At the entrance of the alley, surrounded by a group of red official robes, a young man walked in, wearing bright yellow, the most dazzling color.

The Jin Yiwei who were patrolling the alley with knives reacted first and immediately knelt down to greet them. Next came the soldiers who were taking care of the wounded, with shocked expressions on their faces, and they also knelt down. After confirming the injured, the injured who were unable to move struggled to get up and prepared to kneel down to greet him.
