Yanziji Wharf under Jiankang City, the flow of people who left by boat and the ships arriving at the port crowded the entire port, which seemed to be busy but actually had their own basis, and there was no confusion and congestion, because most of the arrivals were military ships, and all the soldiers who came up and down were all in armor and spears, and they did not form a whole team after arriving on the shore, just one followed one by one, and ran quickly in the direction of Jiankang City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"How many people are there?"

On the upper floor of the West Gate City, Miao Zaicheng, who had recently taken over the post of the head of the Jiankang Mansion's Soldiers and Horses, stood behind the stacks with a few personal soldiers, looking at his feet with a frown, and the endless stream of people came and went from the city gate, as if he was rushing to the market, but the truth was far from the case.

He rushed back with people all the way back from the vicinity of the Zhaoxin Army, because the time was too tight, the whole team was stretched into a long column, and when he himself rushed to Jiankang City with a group of soldiers and horses, the rear army was still in Zhenzhou on the other side of the river, there was no way, the transfer of ships, and the arrangement of the order were not a one-time thing, which had passed for three days, and there were still many people who had not crossed the river.

"I just counted, and there are about 25,000 people entering the city." A pro-soldier interface returns.

That is to say, there are still about 10,000 people who have not entered the city, Miao Zaicheng silently calculated in his heart, with the existing capacity, it will take at least one day to cross the river, compared with this trouble, other things can not be relaxed, such as the evacuation of the people in the city.

This time the enemy is coming very fiercely, but there is plenty of time, so the evacuation of the people has already begun as early as when Li Tingzhi left Jiankang City, but in his opinion, this strength is far from meeting expectations, the people are reluctant to walk, the pace is not hurried, there is not much sense of urgency for the coming of the big war.

Who knows, all of this is thanks to the experience of defending the city last time, more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians, besieged by the Yuan people for nearly four months, as a result, not only did not run out of food in the city, but even the danger was very few, everyone basically listened to the storytelling, and lived a small life to guard the city, to say that the only unpleasant thing is the news that relatives died in battle, but how can there be immortals in the war, for the people to avoid the military disaster is the greatest satisfaction.

And now, there are more enemies than before, but the strength to defend the city is a lot weaker all of a sudden, Miao Zaicheng's department, which was originally used for the offensive around the Zhaoxin Army, played a role in containment, so it is not the main force of the Huai army, and the number is only 35,000, plus Li Tingzhi's nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses left in Jiankang, the total number of defenders is only 40,000, which is his current full strength.

And Jiankang is a big city, the difficulty of the big city is that if you want to fill the city wall, you need more people, he has no ability, he can't be as confident as Liu Yu, he can only do his best, the first is to try to let the people leave the city He voted, one is to avoid consuming the food in the city, and the other is also afraid of the tragic situation after the city is broken.

"The government will go and urge again, this will not work, whether to leave or stay, it will be decided in these two days, and tell the people that the city gate will be closed soon." A pro-soldier hurried away with his instructions, Miao Zaicheng was still worried about Zhong Zhong, where Yuan Ren had arrived He had not yet received the news, the more this was the case, the more uneasy he felt in his heart, and he always felt that something would happen.

In addition to the shogunate team that followed Li Tingzhi to Yangzhou, most of the people left in Jiankang City were former old officials, under the leadership of Zhang Shixun, who was busy with this matter day and night, and when he received Miao Zaicheng's order, he was stunned for a while before he reacted, Li Xianggong was no longer in this city, and the instructions from the Jiankang Soldiers and Horses Division were meaningless at all.

Although the other party's grade is very high, but for him, that is, a colleague in the team, both sides have no temperate relationship, at most they can be regarded as working together, but now is not the time to care about these, the problem of the people's stay is a big deal, he also attaches great importance to it, and after politely sending the people away, looking at the busy subordinates in the ya, he has a sense of frustration that is powerless.

There are so many people who have to be used, and they are all familiar with the situation, so where can they find someone to reason with the people, that is, they will go if they should go, and those who don't go will also stay, at this moment, he is very nostalgic for the previous broadcasting system, what is the matter, it is a few words of effort, the whole city can hear it, but unfortunately it is not the same as before.

"Brother, is this a problem?" A voice interrupted his emotion, Zhang Shixun fixed his mind and saw that it was actually an acquaintance, and in surprise, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Why is Brother Wang here? Didn't you go out of town with your sister-in-law? ”

Wang Lin's appearance has not changed much from before, it is estimated that because of the filial piety period, people are still so thin, their family has been in Jiankang City for more than two months, and more than a month ago, Li Tingzhi told the people to leave, at that time it was Zhang Shixun who took someone to send them on the ship, but I never thought that the people came back.

"Neizi and Xiao'er have been settled, and there is nothing to do left and right, so I came here to take a look around, and see that your mansion is very lively, why do the people still refuse to leave?"

The Jiankang Mansion was originally with the envoy to recruit the secretary, Liu Yu thought it was inconvenient, so he went elsewhere, away from the envoy is a corner of the kung fu, to say that it is not bad, but the situation inside, the two of them know very well why, Zhang Shixun did not hide it from him, shook his head and told the matter one by one.

The people in the city reached more than 300,000 at the peak, that was because of the collection of refugees from all over Jiangdong Road, and then the war ended, and they were able to walk and scatter, and they have been maintained at a scale of more than 200,000, who knows that the war has started again in half a year, and the people who have poured into the city have once again approached the level of 300,000, and Li Tingzhi will order the people to leave on their own.

If you want to say that the grain in the city, I am afraid that the entire Great Song Dynasty is not as much as it, but how long the war will last, no one is sure, it is precious to be able to save an extra ration, this truth The people may not understand, the reason why they hesitate, or because of the situation outside, who knows if it will be worse? Rather than this, it is better to stay in the city, at least there is a protection.

Now, more than two months have passed, and there are less than 100,000 people who have taken the initiative to leave the city, and those big families who have families and mouths will naturally not suffer in this city, even if they go to Jingshi, they can eat and live, so they became the first batch of people to leave the city, and the rest of them are either reluctant or have nowhere to go, and Lin Dongjia, who runs a fat powder shop on the front street, belongs to the former.

The shops on this street gathered, originally according to the Qinhuai River by those fireworks and willow alleys and survive, successive wars, has long destroyed this rouge without a trace, some famous people, either went to Beijing Lin'an, or diverted to other places, the two Zhejiang are prosperous places, where can not beg for life, why do you have to wait here for death.

For those of them who are a little wealthy and not too rich, no matter what choice they make, it is painful, Lin Dongjia looked at the empty shops, and then looked at the streets where there were not many people, and sighed a few times in his heart, he was reluctant to not only this small industry, but also the neighborhood love of more than ten years.

"Squeak!" With a bang, the door of the Wang family's cloth shop on the opposite side was opened, and under the gaze of Lin Dongjia, from the door of the store with the door panel removed, a few people came out, led by a man who was wrapped in a fur coat, saw him standing opposite, and walked over with his hands together.

"Lao Lin, haven't you figured it out yet?" The two of them have been neighbors for many years, and they can't be more familiar with each other, so they don't speak so politely: "The government issued a notice, the meaning is obvious, this time it may not be able to hold it, we are just a small people, we can't die with the city, the last time the Tartars suffered a big loss, in case the city is broken, you and I are afraid that we will not survive." ”

"That's right, you have a place to go, there are still some relatives in Jingshi who can take refuge, a certain family, I don't know where to go when I go out of the city, I have to think twice." It's not a good topic, and both of them are in a bit of a low mood.

"It's just a fence, what's the best place to go." Wang Dongjia waved his hand, without the slightest joy of getting out of danger: "Listen to my brother's advice, can you go or go, it really comes to a critical place, adults can stand it, children can't stand it, and they are the ones who suffer in the end." ”

Xu thought of something, he took a few steps closer, lowered his voice and said: "A few days ago, I heard from the fleeing people that the Tartars had taken Jiangzhou, and I heard that they didn't even weigh it for a day, and their soldiers were more than our people combined, this time I'm afraid it's ......true."

Before he could say what would happen, a woman on the opposite side shouted, I don't know where the ox cart had been tied, Wang Dongjia glanced back, and arched his hand at him helplessly, and the two of them said goodbye silently, and didn't even say a word of blessing, and they knew very well in their hearts that this parting, I was afraid that they would never see each other again.

Seeing his friend's family leave, Lin Dong's heart felt like grass had grown, maybe he really should think about his plan to go out of the city? Just as he was undecided, several gongs and drums sounded from the street, and a group of officials escorted a man on horseback, who was holding a large horn in his hand, which had not been seen in the city for almost half a year.

"Folks, the Tartars are coming up, staying in the city, there may be danger, everyone can find a place to go, take their families out of the city, otherwise once they are besieged, it will be difficult for the government to have leisure, and the old and weak women and children will not be able to take care of it.

As they approached, the street in the center of the city, those who had not yet left the city stood on both sides, and some of the people who knew saw the person on the horse immediately remembered that it was not the son of the old chief officer.

"Shangguan is Wang Xiaolangjun?" Wang Lin, who was forty years old, couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this title, but he still nodded his head on the horse.

"Why don't you go? I don't have anywhere to go, where to go when I leave the city. ”

"Anywhere, if there is really no way, you can also let the government arrange, roughly to the Huaidong area, there is no war there, the government will try to take care of everyone, even if there is no field, you can find some work. Of course, if you have the heart to stay in the city to help defend the city, the government will arrange your home properly, and you will have no worries. ”

Stay behind to defend the city? Obviously, this is not a very good choice, how many people were first turned into village soldiers, and finally added to the forbidden army, and how many died in the city, they will hear a long list every day, and no one wants themselves or their relatives to appear on that list.

Wang Langjun's words made the Lin Dong family make up their minds, the risk of staying in the city is indeed not small, at least the supply of the family is a big problem, the government has no extra food to feed them, at least there is another way to think about leaving, Lin Dong's family belongs to the kind of family with small savings, and they may be able to live well in Huaidong, where Yangzhou is the land of gold dust.

After repeated propaganda and agitation, the people like him who decided to leave the city reached a small ** the next day, and most of them chose to go to Huaidong, in that case, they would have to leave the city from the west gate, and then leave by boat from the dock, taking the small Lin Dong family, did not get on the ox cart, but let the guys in the shop carry the bags and send them on the boat.

In the process of waiting for the boat, there were constantly military boats coming from across the river, and the sergeants who came down all spoke with a Huai Di accent, and those who waited for the boat and those who disembarked lined up on the dock in two parallel lines that did not interfere with each other, but it was somewhat ironic that the queue waiting to leave was all speaking the local dialect.

The silence was broken by an official ship from downstream, the lantern on the official ship was written from top to bottom with the words "Lianghuai System Envoy Division", the ship was guided by the sergeant on the pier to lean against the shore, and the boat was not a high-ranking official, but a woman in her fifties, in addition to her and several servants, followed by two children, the youngest of whom was less than ten years old.

Just when everyone was guessing the identity of the person who came, a large group of people came out of the city, led by two, one Wen and one Wu, who were now the highest officials in the city, Miao Zaicheng, and Zhang Shixun, and the rest were also in charge.

"Madame! This is ......" Miao Zaicheng never thought that Li Tingzhi would send all the children over, and even the young son was not left behind, and for a while, he felt a heavy responsibility.

This title stunned Zhang Shixun and others, looking at the entire Jianghuai officialdom, only the lady of Li Xianggong who can afford this title, with her husband being crowned with the title of prime minister, she naturally became the county lady, at such a dangerous time, Li Tingzhi sent the family to Jiankang City, what does it mean?

The arrival of the county lady only caused a wave on the docks, and her car drove in the opposite direction, slowly driving in the direction of the city gate. Lin Dongjia's mind suddenly remembered what someone had said, he turned around and whispered to his wife, Lin Niangzi's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at him as if she didn't know.

"Jiankang, whose Jiankang?" At this moment, he raised his arm high as if someone was possessed: "Taishou is right, this is the Jiankang City that I am waiting for, and the foreigners are still sparing their lives, and we are the Jiankang people, but we want to abandon it, who will protect our home in the future?" ”
