When the soldiers arrived in Pinggu, Zhang Cuiyan had already gathered 20,000 of his father's old subordinates. He saw that this was a considerable strength, but the old and weak were not even equal, and most of them were gangsters and gangsters. Therefore, Zhao Xing decided to leave Zhang Cuiyan and Xiufen, accompanied by Zhao Zi, stationed in Pinggu, rectify the team, eliminate the old and weak, and then follow. He saw that the 20,000, according to his own selection standards, would be good to have two thousand left.

The reason for this decision was that as soon as he left Pinggu, he was out of the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture. In other words, he broke away from the control of Jingying and moved forward, he was the real jurisdiction of Jizhen. Now, the urgently activated governor of Jizhen, Sun Chengzong, was not the seventy-year-old man who was the seventy-year-old. He was the teacher of Tianqi and the teacher of Chongzhen, the attendant student. He scolded two generations of emperors, but the two emperors didn't even dare to run away.

Thinking back to the beginning, Sun Chengzong taught Chongzhen, and asked Tianqi how he should teach him. Tianqi replied: "If you don't beat him to death, you will follow you." Now Sun Chengzong is in court, even Chongzhen has to avoid the seat to welcome him. What made Zhao Xing and all the officials retreat most was that this old man Lian Qigong, "Also have the Ming Dynasty, and the Gongsheng has the power." Although the Liaodong Fortress policy he implemented was criticized as the number one sinner of the Ming Dynasty, you really have no blame for his character. If he fought against this old man, Zhao Xing's scalp was numb.

As a result, when Zhao Xing was scratching his head about this, he was really afraid of anything he would come. Mao Shouyi came to report, "Teacher Sun is here."

Zhao Xing pulled his wife and ran away without saying a word.

As a result, Hong Chengchou bit the bullet and greeted him, Sun Chengzong ignored him directly: "Get out of here, you puppet boy, let Zhao Xing see me."

With this sentence, Zhao Xing had to take his wife back obediently and stand in front of Old Man Sun like a good grandson.

When Zhang Cuiyan saw Sun Chengzong, she bowed to him. Without waiting for Sun Chengzong to attack Zhao Xing, she burst into tears: "Uncle, my father is wronged to die." Without saying a word, she rushed into Sun Chengzong's arms and cried.

Faced with a strong and helpless niece, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but burst into tears. He had long forgotten the fact that he had raised an army to accuse Zhao Xing, hugged Zhang Cuiyan and patted him for comforting: "I don't know that my friend, Duke, is worth dying, but, but--" But after that, I really couldn't comfort me.

Well, just like this, Sun Chengzong, who was originally aggressive, felt ashamed of the couple too much.

I felt guilty and of course I couldn't lose my temper anymore. After comforting my elder niece, I said to Zhao Xing, who was standing like a good grandson, "Don't pretend for me, sit down and tell me what you think."

"Nephew son-in-law--"

"Don't, we do our business, don't get close. You are the commander of the Jinyiwei, I am the Minister of War and the Supervisor of Ji Liao. Tell me, why did you make this strong army? How could you tell me that Beijing should protect the capital, but why did you come here? Don't tell me that you are lost, Jiannu Huang Taiji is in the south of Nanyuan."

Under Zhao Xing's reasonable explanation, coupled with Cui Yan's cute family affection card bombing, Xiufen was obedient and filial to pour wine and add vegetables, Sun Chengzong took a sip of the wine comfortably and put down the wine glass: "You killed three thousand households in Jizhen all the way, and the two magistrates were urgently followed, and then it passed. But do you really have the confidence to take Zunhua within two days? You must know that Zunhua is the gateway of the capital. After two hundred years of continuous maintenance, it can be regarded as a wall of iron."

Zhao Xing despised it. "Two hundred years of maintenance and reinforcement, but in just one day, it was captured by Jiannu. What a sad and ironic way."

Sun Chengzong sighed: "No matter how strong the city defense is, there are no soldiers who fight to the death, and it is also an unguarded city. Just like that, this time, it is really difficult for you to defeat him if you replace the Jiannu strong soldier."

Zhao Xing did not answer this and asked directly: "Master, do you know how many Han people there are in Zunhua's city now?"

When Sun Chengzong mentioned this, he no longer had the intention of eating and drinking, and cried: "The Jiannu was not as good as the beasts. They were also afraid that the people in Zunhua City would be unstable. When the war came, they were not good for them. They were even more greedy for the prosperity of the city. After entering the city, they massacred the city. There is no Han in Zunhua now."

Faced with such a situation, Zhao Xing was not surprised at all. History told him that Jiannu was barbaric and knew that with their mere two million people, they were unable to rule over hundreds of millions of Han people. Therefore, as soon as they entered the pass, they launched cruel killings on the Han people, which was to reduce the population of Han people, and to use such cruel means to shock the Han people's resistance.

On the tenth day of Yangzhou, the three massacres in Jiading, the Kunshan Massacre, the Nanchang Massacre, the Guangzhou Massacre, the Nanxiong Massacre, the Chaozhou Massacre, the Changshu Massacre, and the Taiyuan Massacre are all children's classes, and the massacre of Sichuan is the most tragic thing.

Some people have decided that the massacre of Sichuan was Zhang Xianzhong's actions, but as long as the brain is a little bit aware, if a ruler slaughtered all the people under his rule, then who will he rule? And Zhang Xianzhong's godson Li Dingguo led his troops to resist the Qing Dynasty in Sichuan. If he really slaughtered Sichuan, what else would the Sichuan people do to follow him?

According to records, the last national official statistics of China's population at the end of the Ming Dynasty were 51 million, and the time was the first year of Taichang in the Ming Guangzong (Volume 4 of the Ming Xizong's Records)

The initial national population statistics of the Qing Dynasty were 10 million (reduced by more than 40 million), and it was in the eighth year of Shunzhi, the Qing Dynasty (Volume 61 of the Qing Dynasty Records).

In the 21st year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1682, the 48th year after entering the country), the national population was only 20 million, which was only one-fifth of the population in the first year of Taichang, the Guangzong of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the above population figures are incomplete. Because taxes were paid according to the population at that time, the population was concealed in large numbers. Many scholars believe that the actual population in the Ming Dynasty was about 100 million. Even if the same population concealed in the early Qing Dynasty, it was estimated that after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the population declined by at least 50 million (this is an extremely conservative estimate). If we consider the birth factor of the population, the total number of population losses in China after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs was likely to be an astonishing astronomical figure of much more than 50 million! The possibility of a population reduction of more than 100 million also exists.

Therefore, it is sufficient basis to presumably have tens of millions of people who were massacred by the Qing Dynasty. (The previous statement is a cited article.)

Therefore, Zhao Xing was not surprised at the reality in Zunhua City, but said lightly: "Since there are no Han people in Zunhua City, my nephew promised that Zunhua will go down in half a day."

Sun Chengzong expressed distrust and concern about Zhao Xing's confidence. "My nephew, Zunhua City is strong, and Jiannu also knows the key to this hub, so he sent Jiannu traitor Fan Wencheng to take the Eight Hundred and Eight Banners guards. Even if you attack, you cannot succeed in a battle. It will definitely be a death battle."

Zhao Xing stood up and bowed: "Master, my nephew has invited me, I don't know if the master is satisfied."

Sun Chengzong said solemnly: "As long as I kill the enemy for the country, I will do my best."

Zhao Xing said, "Please ask Master Sun to mobilize all the turbulent eggs for me, and there are enough catapults." Then he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to burn Zunhua, hehe, Fan Wencheng, right? Eight hundred Jiannu, I still think he has less, the more the better."

Facing the sudden hideous Zhao Xing, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but startle the chopsticks in his hand, and the easy-to-hand genius murmured: "It hurts the heavens."

Zhao Xing directly refuted: "Tianhe, it is the kind people, not the beasts. I don't talk about Tianhe with the beasts."
