Chapter 293: Distributing Food and Strengthening the City Walls



"Water! Really water!"

"This time it's real food, not sand!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's ability to communicate with gods is real!"

Shen Zheng, who was lying on the bed, threw back his quilt and ran towards the granary without even putting on his shoes.

Not far from the general's mansion, he saw a long line of people.

Shen Zheng was not wearing armor, and the people were all happy about having food, so they didn't recognize him.

"Hey, brother is talking to you!"

"Hurry up and get in line, be careful not to be overtaken by others."

Shen Zheng was suddenly called. He also wanted to hear what the people were saying, so he joined the long queue behind.

"Have you heard?"

...

...

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has supernatural powers. Not only can he create food, he can also create water!"

“I heard that the notice said that today we can not only get rice and noodles, but also quilts and clothes.

Soldiers can also receive weapons and armor. ”

"Hearing what you said, can I still sign up for the army?"

The person who was speaking was an old man in his fifties. His eyes lit up when he heard about distributing weapons. He was once a veteran soldier and also wanted to go into the battlefield to kill the enemy and make a contribution to Yuanfeng.

The middle-aged man said: "I am already forty-three years old this year, it is not clear whether I want it or not.

I see you are almost fifty? Specify no. ”

The old man stared and said, "Fifty-one years old! I am three years younger than General Shen, how come I can't do it?"

"I am at the right age to make a breakthrough."

"This is called old age and strength. Do you understand?"

Everyone was mocking him, and the old man was obviously angry.

He pulled Shen Zheng and said, "You and I are both older, help me prove it.

How powerful and brave the soldiers who survived the battle were! ”

The reason why Yuanfeng City became a garrison was because of the battle thirteen years ago.

Before Shen Zheng could speak, someone recognized him.

“General Shen, why are you queuing here?”

Shen Zheng suddenly woke up, quickly pulled back his sleeve that was being pulled, and rushed to the porridge shed where the grain was stored.

Yang Jin and Chen Gan organized people to register for grain distribution.

Lu Chen led the soldiers to distribute quilts and winter clothes.

Shen Zheng saw that the style of the cotton-padded jacket was unique and he was very curious as he had never seen such clothes in the surrounding countries.

He touched the quilt and was even more surprised. It was so soft.

Looking at the mountains of food in the porridge shed, Shen Zheng had to accept the weirdness of the prince's divine power.

If not, who could create so many things overnight?

Shen Zheng looked around before he found Xiao Jingzhou and Shen Lan.

The two men stood on the city wall. When he was about to climb up the wall, he was attracted by the long queue of people.

"I'm only 50 years old this year, I can be a fireman in the back!"

"I'm a veteran, I'm 55 years old this year. Don't look at my age, I can still kill the enemy in battle!"

“I am younger than them, I am 46 years old.

Without any relatives and all alone, it is worth dying on the battlefield! ”

Shen Zheng walked over and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

The military commander said, "General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered me to recruit soldiers again.

All men under the age of 60 can join the army and will be assigned to positions thereafter.

Women under the age of 45 can also join the army. ”

All the people who had left the city fled to escape famine.

Nowadays, the city is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, so it’s okay for men under 60 years old to join the army.

If women go to the battlefield, won’t the enemy laugh at them for having no men to fight in Dajing?

This matter is absolutely inappropriate, and he needs to discuss it with His Highness again.

Shen Zheng looked at the two people chatting and laughing on the city wall, and he became very angry.

He climbed up the tower in one breath and said angrily: "Chen Lan, why don't you persuade His Highness?"

"Since ancient times, has it ever been reasonable for women to go to the battlefield?"

Chen Lan smiled faintly and said, "Didn't my uncle praise Fu Hao before, saying she was a heroine and a heroic woman.

Why have you become so conservative now? ”

The murderous look in Shen Zheng's eyes faded a lot.

He sighed and said, "How many people in the world can compare with Fu Hao?

The women farmed and wove at home and had never seen blood.

If we let them go to the battlefield now, how are we different from the executioners? ”

Xiao Jingzhou said: "It may not be impossible to start training from now on.

The women of Zhiyi City also climbed up the city walls, throwing stones at the enemy and fighting with swords.

They are all trying to protect their homes. ”

Shen Zheng wanted to say something else, but after moving his lips, nothing came out.

He said: "It's all my fault that I'm useless and can't intimidate the enemy."

Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "To intimidate the enemy, a strong national force is needed, but even so, it cannot stop the enemy's invasion.

If you want world peace, you must be superior to other countries.

Don't fight indiscriminately, and don't be afraid of fighting. ”

Shen Zheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Jingzhou's resolute profile.

This sentence dealt him a heavy blow.

Shen Zheng said seriously: "I understand your highness's ambition and am willing to follow you till death."

Shen Lan also said: "I am also willing to serve the court and follow Your Highness until death."

The uncle and nephew were not stupid. Although they were shocked by Xiao Jingzhou's words, they were also very happy.

At least, they saw hope for Dajing's future.

The three men came down from the city wall and headed towards the military camp.

At that time, marching bags, bows and arrows, and swords were being distributed in the military camp.

Shen Zheng stared with his eyes wide open.

"This is actually the quilt I brought with me? It's so exquisite!"

Shen Lan pulled out a knife, the blade was so sharp that it dazzled the eyes: "It's a really good knife."

Just as he was about to ask for one, he found that the soldiers in the tent already had one.

Chen Lan: “…” Based on our childhood relationship, can I have two?

Shen Zheng was holding the new knife and couldn't wait.

He rushed out of the tent and chopped a wooden stake beside him, which immediately broke into pieces.

Applause rang out all around, and Shen Lan was also shocked by the sharpness of the blade.

He said: "Since Yuan Feng has such a good weapon, the enemy will have to consider their own strength if they come again."

Chen Lan was not exaggerating. The reputation of the Yuanfeng garrison was quite high among the seven countries.

All of this was won through one battle after another.

Now that Yuanfeng City has food and sophisticated weapons, it is like a tiger with wings.

Zhao Yuan was imprisoned and interrogated for two days. He could not bear the torture and soon confessed.

"Your Highness, please let me go."

"This is all Uncle Zhang's orders, and we are just following his orders."

Lu Chen said sternly: "Tell me, what other plan do you have!"

Zhao Yuan cried with snot and tears: "It's gone, it's really gone!"

"Uncle Zhang only told him to escort him but failed, and he found out about the deposed crown prince halfway through.

All obstacles that hinder the Third Prince's path to becoming the Crown Prince must be cleared. ”

Shen Lan leaned close to Xiao Jingzhou’s ear and said, “We found the hidden correspondence inside the wall of Zhao Yuan’s room.

What he said is true. ”

Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "He will be executed at noon tomorrow to correct the military's morale."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuan's legs went limp with fear.

He didn't care about the snot running into his mouth, and begged for mercy in fear: "Mercy, Your Highness, please spare me!"

Xiao Jingzhou came out of the dungeon.

Shen Zheng hurried over: "Your Highness, the city walls are still being strengthened, why do you want to open the city gates tomorrow?"

"Won't this give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage?"
