In the entire Xuzhou City, although all the grain was not looted, it still got 80,000 stone coarse grain.

In a big state city, this bit of grain is not much, it can be seen that Henan has really had a hard time in recent years, and even large households do not have much surplus grain.

80,000 stone is nearly 10 million catties, more than 400,000 homeless people, and the average is more than 20 catties per person, and no matter how much you save, you can eat for more than two months at most.

Because there are no bark and wild vegetables to gnaw on in Henan, the locust plague in the first two months is too damaging, and the locusts that are overwhelming everywhere are leaving no grass behind, which is more terrible than drought and flood.

Therefore, the homeless people also only have two meals a day, a bowl of gruel in the morning, and a small child's fist-sized coarse and fine grain mixed with a nest in the evening, barely able to hang their lives.

King Qin finally understood why the Eight Kings were so stingy in the first place, because once the number of people exceeded 100,000, it would be very terrifying to sit and eat every day.

So next, the Chinese army began to attack everywhere, the county seat, the town, the dock fort, all suffered, in just ten days, the territory of Xuzhou was swept away, and then more than 70,000 stones of coarse and fine grain, countless livestock and quilts.

is also according to the model of Xuzhou City, as for how the big households will survive the winter this year without quilts, and how to farm in the coming year without livestock, Qin Yu will not care, they will figure it out by themselves.

The best brocade quilts of large families are naturally used by the Chinese army themselves, and the young soldiers in the rear battalion are given priority, followed by infantry, engineers, and finally soldiers, and the same is true for cotton clothes and fur.

The old goods eliminated by the Chinese army are distributed to the families of the newly recruited members, and the surplus will be distributed to ordinary homeless people.

Although Qin Yu wanted to recruit orphans, or young men and women whose parents and children were starved to death, those who came to sign up said that they were orphans and bachelors, and they couldn't distinguish them at all.

Therefore, many people actually still have families, and those family members also understand that the rebels cannot always give porridge, and if they want to survive, the only way to join the rebels is to let their sons and husbands join the army, and leave them alone.

In this regard, Qin Yu was also helpless, so he had to take their family members a little better in cotton clothes and food, and the nest head at night was a little bigger.

As for being included in the rear camp and enjoying the treatment of the Chinese army, it is impossible, and secretly hiding the daily meals and bringing them to the family is even more directly expelled.

And because the Chinese army gave porridge under the city of Xuzhou, more than 100,000 displaced people rushed from all over the country in the past 10 days, reaching a terrifying 500,000.

As the weather gets colder and colder, thousands of people are frozen to death every day, and Qin Yu can only cut down more trees to burn charcoal for warmth, but there are not many woods in the plains.

In the end, some empty houses of large families were simply demolished, and the houses of the common people could have been demolished and burned long ago.

However, almost all of those who froze to death were frail and elderly.

As for babies and children under the age of seven, they are almost extinct, and it is clear that they are the first to die, this winter is the elderly, and next spring will be the turn of young men and women.

After entering the middle of November, Qin Yu didn't want to delay in Xuzhou, and planned to divide the troops into three routes, looting the entire Kaifeng Mansion before the year, and then marching into Henan Mansion for disaster relief after the year.

Because Kaifeng and Henan are the most seriously affected, Runing can also flee to Jianghuai, and Nanyang to Huguang.

Can be Kaifeng, but the second mansion of Henan has nowhere to go, too far to the south, whether it is the northeast of Shandong, the north of Zhili, Shanxi, it is not much better, and the northwest is a place of death.

Yes, King Qin is fighting the banner of disaster relief this time.

And this time, Hongying and Niu Er don't have to fight, they have to be on their own, and now there are too many soldiers and horses, so Qin Yu has to think about cultivating generals, and it has even reached the point where it is urgent.

One route Niu Er led two battalions, an infantry battalion, and a small number of engineers and female soldiers, about 14,000 people, Qin Tie as the deputy supervision, first south to Linying, Yuncheng, and then east to Xihua, Shangshui, Chenzhou, Taikang until the city of Shangqiu, and finally north to Kaifeng.

One route was led by Hongying with two battalions, an infantry battalion and a thousand female soldiers, and a small number of sappers and guards, Qian Bin and Qin Wu as deputies, directly eastward, Yanling, Fugou, and then north to Tongxu, Qixian, Chenliu, arrived at Kaifeng City.

Qin Yu himself led a large army, first north to Changge, Xinzheng, Weichuan, Zhengzhou, and then east to Kaifeng.

More than a month, enough people to clean Kaifeng Mansion and meet in Kaifeng City before the end of the year.

After the two armies left, Qin Yu led the army north on the third day, after all, there are a lot of things to do, and the 500,000 displaced people are also following the old and the young.

There is no way, Qin Yu wants to give each person dozens of catties of food, and then go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, but in this way, in order to compete for food, I am afraid that more than half of them will be killed.

It is also unrealistic to leave some men and horses and send them food every day, because it is too scattered to keep too many troops, and it is easy to cause turmoil if there is too little.

Now the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all walks of life in the south are heading north, so Suo Xing took them all away.

When the big families in the city saw that the thieves and the homeless people had finally left, they wept with joy one by one, and then began to worry about their livelihood.

How can they, who are accustomed to eating refined grains and fine salt, get used to eating coarse grains and inferior salt?

The small merchants and small households in the city, the excess fine grain, fine salt, cotton cloth and cotton were also bought by the Chinese army, but fortunately, only a small half of the money was taken away by the thieves at home, and the housekeepers were still there, so they organized a team to send people to Huguang Jianghuai to buy New Year's materials.

Although these big families scolded the anti-thieves in their mouths, they all felt that these anti-thieves were not bad, and they also talked about some rules.

Yes, I am afraid of comparison in everything, but after the anti-thieves broke the city, not only did they save the lives of their wives and children, but they were not harassed and insulted, and even the silver money was only lost a small half, which is definitely the blessing of the ancestors for eight lifetimes.

Almost all the big households in Xuzhou are so emotional, so they surprisingly don't have much resentment towards the Chinese army, and they are still complacent!

After all, if the maid and concubine are gone, they will buy it again, the silver will be earned when the silver is gone, and the food will be planted again, as long as they and their families are fine, the rest can be all brought back in less than three or five years.

At the same time, Sun Chuanting also received Chongzhen's holy decree, and immediately took two thousand standard battalions in a hurry, and took a boat to kill Luoyang directly.

The reason why he is in such a hurry is also because he is afraid that Hong Chengchou will not wait for him and go to Liaodong to take office first.

He didn't know anything about King Xiaohua and his men, but it was by no means simple based on his combat achievements alone.

is the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, so he must ask Hong Chengchou in person, how did he lose?

Hong Chengchou has indeed been waiting for Sun Chuanting in Luoyang, after all, he threw this mess to others, so he has to explain and remind him.

In fact, he is not optimistic about Sun Chuanting, because even he has been defeated, and Sun Chuanting's fate is probably not much better.

Yes, Hong Laogou doesn't think that he will be worse than Sun Chuanting, on the contrary, he feels that he is slightly better in military affairs, not to mention that the soldiers and horses in Sun Chuanting's hands are far inferior to him at the beginning.
