On the sixth day of December, it is not far from the end of the year.

After the first bombardment of the city gate, the Fang La army in Hangzhou was obviously shocked by the huge destructive power of the artillery and was distracted. In the next three days, before siege, they would put a few cannons on the city wall every day, using flowering bullets. The shells landed in a radius of several meters, and basically had no bones left, so that the soldiers of the rebels were afraid of it like tigers and needed to hold a knife to force the rebels to defend the city.

The city had already run out of food and helped, and knew that there was no hope of defending Hangzhou. Seeing that the situation was not good, many generals of Fang La rushed out of the south gate and turned to the prefectures and cities in various places.

After discovering that Fang La's army withdrew from Hangzhou, the imperial guards reacted quickly and dispatched Wang Bing's troops to attack Muzhou, Tan and the Western Army led by Tan and attacked Wuzhou, Quzhou and other places. The imperial guards began to chase and die in the north.

In the early morning, Cao Hua was in the camp and carefully inspected the artillery parts.

Zhao Huai stood next to the Grand Commander's gun with a handkerchief, wailing in fog, and then carefully wiped the dust on the gun barrel. His movements were more cautious than those of the courtesan in Yichun Tower, but his mouth was impatient:

"Brother-in-law, today we went to Ximen to set off firecrackers. Xu Ziling's house built a pagoda. You can see it outside the city. In the past, I was very annoying in Baima Mountain, but my mother believed in Buddhism and refused to let her demolish it. Today we went to blow it up secretly, and afterwards we said we were accidentally...."

Cao Hua was a little helpless: "I exploded the ancestral tomb of Grand Master Cai yesterday. I haven't settled the score with you yet, so you are here again?"

Zhao Huai waved his hand: "Teacher Cai's ancestral tomb has been dug up, and even the bones are crushed and ashes are raised. I just accidentally smashed the archway given by the emperor, but it was not intentional..."

"If you want to hit the city wall, why don't you hit General Tong's tent?"

Zhao Huai was stunned and touched his chin and thought:

"Brother-in-law, do you want to kill someone with a knife?"

Bang-

The dignified son of King Kang was so heartbroken.

Li Bairen and several others used brushes to clean the cannon barrel. Seeing this, they laughed loudly, and then they were cold to Han'er and quickly shut up.

Cleaning up the external artillery and preparing to push it out to continue to show its power. Tong Shu suddenly rode over and shouted along the way:

"Baoying the camp, Fang La broke through from the south gate, and Wang Shuai led his army to pursue him and ordered us to accompany him."

The infantry in the camp immediately got up and ran, packed up their tents and weapons, and prepared to set off.

Cao Hua thought for a moment. Since Fang La gave up Hangzhou, it would be difficult to capture it again. The Northwest Imperial Army defended the city, so King Kang's safety could be guaranteed. Thinking of this, he asked Han'er to pack up the cannons and looked at Zhao Huai:

"This trip will definitely lead to Muzhou and Hangzhou to break. You can follow the prince back to the palace."

Zhao Huai's face froze. He was already sixteen or seventeen years old and was not calm. His emotions were written on his face. He reluctantly touched the cannon:

"I guess I will never be able to join the army again in my life. I won't be dragging everyone down. Brother-in-law, just let me follow me for a while."

Seeing that he said this, Cao Hua did not refuse. Instead, he followed the army to set off firecrackers and did not become a vanguard cannon fodder, so there was no danger, so he nodded.

Zhao Huai looked overjoyed, hurriedly put away his handkerchief and pushed the "Grandmaster Cannon" out.

Han'er looked at it a few times and shook her head: "The prince is brave and brave. It's a pity that he was born in the imperial family. If he was born in the army, he might have become a powerful general."

Cao Hua did not comment, so he turned over and chased Wang Bing's troops with a thousand invaders.

After two months of war, the city of Hangzhou was already full of chaos, including shops, houses, restaurants, tea shops, etc. Most of the doors and windows were knocked open, and two rotten corpses could occasionally be seen at the corners of the street. Some of them were wearing scholarly robes and robes, and the bodies of the corpses were hung on the archway and not taken down.

The rebel army said that it was to make decisions for the people, and this "people" only included their own people, and the Fang La court only protected the brothers of the rebel army. For the original people of Hangzhou, this place was an indelible place. As long as they had established relationships with the rebel army, killing people would not be illegal. If there was no one, no one would pay attention to death.

The only streets in the city that were still not destroyed were only a few streets and alleys where brothels were crowded. After all, the rebels also had demands and would not destroy the entertainment areas. However, these brothels did not make any money, but instead lost all the Qinggongs in the building, and they might have to do flesh-and-skin business in the future.

The city was too chaotic, and there were many bandits who had not had time to leave the hiding everywhere. The princess believed in Buddhism and Zhao Fei was timid. In order not to disturb the hundreds of female relatives in the royal palace, the imperial guards arranged for people to clean up the streets inside the city.

King Kang and Tong Guan stood outside the city of Hangzhou, watching a large number of imperial guards entering the city of Hangzhou. The princess sat on a gorgeous car frame, chanting Buddhist beads seriously, and Zhao Fei was with her side, not daring to lift the curtain to see the corpses piled up outside the city and were digging pits.

With a little anger in King Kang's eyes, he rushed into the house like a group of reckless men, smashing the flowers and plants that had been raised for many years into a mess. Several old friends next to him saw the bodies taken off the archway, including their friends, students and even nephews, knelt on the ground and cried loudly, angrily scolding Fang La for his inhumanity. Xu Ziling, who escaped from King Kang, supported Master Han and kept persuading him, and his eyes were also furious.

King Kang looked at it for a long time, and finally sighed: "Most of Fang La's army are thieves, gathered like fire, scattered like stars, and fled into the dense forests of mountains, rivers and forests. It is probably difficult to clear them in a short time. Millions of civilians were entangled into the rebels, and those who can fight are strong men. The losses of the people in Jiangnan may affect a generation. If we want to restore the wealth of the past, I am afraid that I will not be able to see it."

The people who suffered the most in war will always be the people. The rebels burned their houses, harvested crops, and forced the people to join the rebel army. The poor people who did not want to fight would definitely not survive the winter. The two armies were killed in wars, and the crops were no one to cultivate after the war, and the wealthy businessmen were plundered, burned and killed and were penniless, resulting in gaps in all walks of life. Not to mention the economy of Jiangnan Road was in a slump, and a slump for decades was indispensable.

King Kang spent his whole life thinking about how to use limited power to govern Hangzhou. As a result, after a war, he almost brought Hangzhou back to the scene when the founding of the Song Dynasty. Naturally, he felt very nervous.

Tong Guan bowed and walked behind King Kang, thinking for a little bit: "Last time, the prince said he wanted to practice troops, but now the rebels are in a state of destiny, and there are many small bandits of Xiaogu. If he is interested, I can pick up a few small groups of rebels and let the Hujie army clean up to relieve the prince's anger."

King Kang's heart moved, thought for a while, and chuckled: "These days, Zhao Huai has been rushing around with his troops. Song Yangguang was a little impatient when he listened to the good news. Well... If General Tong is convenient, it's okay to let him practice his hands."
