Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

But, had Liu Wenbing ever seen a scene of cannibalism?

Judging from the appearance of the child's corpse, it was clear that his hands and feet had been chopped off and eaten!

What a human tragedy this is!

Zhu Youjian squatted down and sighed deeply:

"Ugh!"

At this moment, the emperor's back turned a little desolate.

The ministers looked at the emperor silently, only to see him holding the loess in his hands and burying the broken bones.

A sigh, especially resentful:

"It's sad that wherever the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces were turned into dirt. When they prospered, the people suffered; when they died, the people suffered..."

Its daybreak.

Everyone looked at the dozens of newly piled tombs among the lush grass, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Most of them are courtiers, and the lowest are minor officials.

Even the strong men who follow him are also the disciples of the courtiers.

The only exception is Huang Nilu. Although he has no fame yet, he is still a student!

On the nameless slope, within a radius of a hundred feet, they actually found thirteen complete skeletons...

This desolate slope, let alone villages and houses, is so desolate that there are no trees, and there are withered and yellow mugwort everywhere.

Only the left side has white kaolin.

"Do you know why there are corpses in this place with no village or shop?"

Zhu Youjian's frosty face was filled with heavy sadness.

The crowd shook their heads.

There were no scars on the bones, so it was obvious that he had not been killed, and there were no signs of struggle around him, so it was obviously not a plague.

There are mugwort leaves everywhere. Why do these people starve to death?

Without waiting for the courtiers to answer, Chongzhen sighed:

"They ate kaolin clay and bloated to death!"

Someone in the crowd muttered:

"Could he have died of pimple disease? Books often say that people peel off tree bark and eat grass roots. There are so many grasses here, how can these people eat dirt?"

……

eat grass?

Zhu Youjian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Eating grass roots and bark cannot be eaten by any grass or tree!

Zhu Youjian broke off a piece of withered wormwood and stuffed it into his mouth.

"You will know the answer after eating it!"

Just by looking at the appearance of these bones, you can tell that he died last summer.

Aido is bitter, and grass has a mucus that is difficult to swallow.

Forget it, this plant has evolved a unique defense mechanism during its long evolution - emitting a stomach-churning smell.

Except for top ruminant herbivores such as cattle and sheep, other animals cannot stand the taste of wormwood and usually make them vomit after eating it.

The human stomach is obviously not as powerful as ruminants like cattle and sheep!

When the withered wormwood enters your mouth, a special smell hits your brain.

Zhu Youjian almost vomited on the spot.

Seeing that the emperor was leading by example, the ministers broke off a piece of wormwood and put it in their mouths.

"vomit!"

As soon as Pu entered the mouth, some people couldn't bear it anymore and immediately vomited...

"vomit……"

"vomit……"

One after another, the ministers vomited.

Zhu Youjian suppressed his nausea, chewed the wormwood, reached out to take the water bag from Wang Chengen, and swallowed it alive.

"My lords, back then Gou Jian suffered hardships while sleeping on his salary. After ten years of living and gathering ten years of lessons, he had the revenge of the Yue Kingdom!"

"Our hatred for the country's subjugation is still lingering. Are you not as good as the ancients?"

Bright and wise eyes scanned the ministers, only to see that the ministers whose stomachs were still twitching felt guilty.

"My dear friends, you must know your shame and then be brave, and you must endure hardships even if you are tired of it!"

……

Zhu Youjian asked people to find the source of water. After boiling it first, he ordered everyone to wash the limbs exposed to the air. By the time they were done, the sun had completely jumped out.

After breakfast, Zhu Youjian summoned the ministers, and Wang Chengen opened the map.

"Everyone," Zhu Youjian pointed at Baoding City and said:

"The capital is 306 miles away from Baoding. We don't know how far we have traveled in one night. Therefore, we need to find a city first to determine our location!"

As a cabinet minister, Fan Jingwen immediately agreed and added:

"Your Majesty, the food we carry is only enough to last three days if we eat it freely. Therefore, we urgently need to replenish food and grass!"

Wang Zhang leaned on his spear and said, "It's not just food, we also need pack horses."

There was something he didn't say.

This time they escaped from the capital in a hot air balloon, which seemed to be much more elegant than Ling Yiqu's group taking a boat.

Actually it is not.

As His Majesty said, the hot air balloon is running out of grease.

Before you can find a supplement, you can only reduce consumption as much as possible to prepare for emergencies.

This required them to proceed on foot.

It would be fine if the ministers endured hardship, but not His Majesty!

Not to mention traveling in a dragon chariot, at least we need to find a horse for His Majesty...

Everyone discussed it together and made up their minds.

Walking all the way south, if you encounter a small market town, the best thing to do is just grab it.

If you can't find it, then look for a small county...

Wang Chengen knew the soldiers and immediately took ten young eunuchs to act as outposts and take the lead.

……

Although most of Zhu Youjian and his party were in their prime, there were only less than 100 people, and one-third of them were civil servants.

Although they can win or lose with ordinary soldiers by virtue of their bravery, these people are all talents!

Naturally, Chongzhen would not treat generals as small soldiers.

If one of them is broken casually, Zhu Youjian will regret it to death!

Therefore, they must not take the official route to avoid running into the invading army...

The group avoided the main road along the way and headed south along the mountain path.

Fortunately, the sun is clearing today, so I don’t have to worry about losing my way.

When the sun was high in the sky, Wang Chengen ran back panting heavily. He panted and said in a hoarse voice:

"Your Majesty, I have found out that we have passed Fangshan at this time. This place is between Zhuozhou and Gu'an, slightly south."

Zhu Youjian was about to ask Wang Lian to open the map to determine the specific location, but Meng Zhaoxiang squatted on the ground, drew a ditch casually, and said:

"Your Majesty, this is the Liuli River."

He picked up three stones, arranged them in a triangle, and continued:

"Gu'an is to the east of Liuli River, Zhuozhou and Xincheng are to the west of Hexi. We should be between Zhuozhou and Xincheng at this time."

Zhu Youjian stood up and looked towards the east. Sure enough, through the many low mountain peaks, there seemed to be a sparkling river.

I think that's the Liuli River.

Fan Jingwen held his beard and said, "According to what Minister Meng said, we should be at the border of Baoding Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture."

Wang Chengen suddenly exclaimed: "So we flew more than 100 miles in one night?"

The capital was exactly a hundred miles away from Gu'an. At this time, they had already passed Gu'an City. Didn't they fly more than 100 miles?

He couldn't believe it.

It's just a pile of cloth, a few bamboos, and a few jars of grease.

Without moving his feet or shaking his shoulders, he flew more than 100 miles overnight!

God!

If tens of thousands of them were built and filled with an army when riding the north wind, they would be released...

Why build cities in Liaodong?

Wouldn't it be better to just send a surprise attack from the sky and raid the lair of the Dog Tatars?
