Chapter 17 The Human Circle (Today's Update, Second Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
Circle of people.
It's a place dedicated to people.
People are enclosed like cattle in a large circle of wooden fences, where people are next to each other and people are crowded together.
In the "human circle", let alone lying down, at most there is only an empty space to sit. In fact, in the cold winter, lying down and lying down may be frozen to death.
In the "human circle", if someone dies, it may be a good thing, and his padded jacket will be stripped off and draped over the body of the living, and the naked corpses of both men and women will be thrown next to the "human circle".
"Come, come, squeeze tighter, squeeze it tightly to save ...... freezing to death"
Because of the rope tied around his neck, as soon as others moved, Yu Xiaobao felt that his neck was strangled in panic.
Even though he had been in the captivity for ten days, he still hadn't gotten used to the rope around his neck.
Ten people were tied with a rope, although they didn't tie their hands, but like everyone else, Yu Xiaobao also sat honestly, if a Manchu soldier came in, he didn't even dare to raise his head, for fear of being cut by a knife, but those people came in, often at the women in the circle, those women cried and were pulled out, and no one came back, and the next day they threw out some naked corpses.
"Gollum ......"
The drum beat in his belly again, and he licked his lips, as if trying to moisten his chapped lips with the saliva, but there was no saliva in that mouth. Grabbing a ball of snow from the crack of his clothes and stuffing it into his mouth, the thirst was relieved, but the person became colder.
"God, I'm not going to freeze to death......"
The life of being locked up in the circle of people was not easy, although the Eastern captives plundered them from all over the country to bring them to the outside of the customs to be slaves, but they were only given one meal a day, and they could only barely eat half full. If it doesn't last two days, people will be dizzy with hunger. Needless to say, this is also his way to prevent everyone from escaping, so they are so hungry that they have no strength to run away, so they can only stay obediently in this "human circle", let alone run, if they are hungry for a few days, they will walk, and they will not be able to walk.
"These days, I don't know when it will be the head!"
Yu Xiaobao, who was hungry and cold, couldn't help but shout when he saw those Eastern soldiers cheering and rushing towards Jinan City.
"It's fast, it's fast, don't you see them shouting that Jinan City is broken, and when they rob and kill, it is estimated that they will have to drive us to Liaodong like livestock......"
The scholar next to him spoke, his frostbite face full of despair.
The city of Jinan is broken!
Looking up at the Eastern soldiers who were killing in Jinan City, for some reason, Yu Xiaobao only felt that his eyes were hot.
This city is broken, how many people do those Eastern Soldiers have to kill!
Thinking that I don't know how many people were killed, Yu Xiaobao couldn't help but pray.
"Bodhisattva bless, bless them to hide and not be found by the Eastern Soldiers......"
While Yu Xiaobao was praying, everything that happened in the next few hours seemed to him to be a little unbelievable, first of all, he didn't know what was wrong, and the hordes of Eastern soldiers fled back. Those soldiers shouted in panic "Heavenly fire, heavenly fire", even a few miles away, you can see the billowing black smoke rising from Jinan City, and then you can also see the chaos in the camp for a day.
Skyfire?
What is Skyfire?
Just in the confusion, a fire suddenly broke out in the Donglu camp, and then after a violent explosion, what happened in the camp almost scared Yu Xiaobao to death - those Dongyu soldiers roared and slashed each other, as if they were enchanted.
The people locked up in the human circle almost all saw the chaos in the Dongyu camp, and sometimes, those with red eyes even killed the "human circle". Fortunately, there is a fence around it, otherwise those red-eyed soldiers would have killed me, and I don't know how many people would have been killed.
In that way, they killed for more than an hour, although many of the Eastern soldiers, including those guarding the "human circle", fled, but because there were still many Eastern soldiers standing in the camp, carrying knives without saying a word, so they didn't dare to come out, but later, Yu Xiaobao saw someone break in, and those people killed when they saw the Eastern soldiers, it seemed to be ...... Officers and soldiers!
"The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming......"
In the end, everyone's shouts converged, and then, Yu Xiaobao really saw the official army, for the first time in his life, when he saw the official army, as if he saw a bodhisattva, Yu Xiaobao knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and rejoiced...... Finally survived!
As soon as he heard that he had saved them as the sons of King De, like everyone else, he immediately kowtowed and cried loudly.
"The prince of the world, the prince who saves the trouble."
……
Is this the "circle of people"?
Looking at the crowded and crowded places in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang stared at everything in front of him with wide eyes, staring at the people in the "human circle". Men and women, they were all in a team of ten, tied around their necks with ropes, and then they were locked up in a human enclosure, without even a grass hut to protect them from the wind and snow.
"Shizi, when we were in the city, we heard that when the Eastern Capture soldiers went south, they robbed countless people along the way, regardless of men and women, as long as they were young and strong, I heard from the people who escaped that they robbed people in order to return to Liaodong to farm land for them and give them slaves......"
For all this Qian Degong said, how could Zhu Guoqiang not know that this was not the purpose of the Qing army's entry into the fortress?
Grab money, grab people!
It is clearly written in the history books that more than 460,000 people and animals were plundered!
The more than 460,000 were counted after they were snatched back, how many people did they rob and locked up in such a circle? How many people froze to death? How many people starved to death? How many more people were killed?
No one has ever counted it, only those bastards who are not enough slaves, there proudly showing off the exploits of their "ancestors", and being complacent for "plundering more than 460,000 people and animals", it seems that being able to become "Ahha" is a blessing for the "Nikans" for several lifetimes, and it seems that the descendants of those people really think so.
Looking at the people who kowtowed to themselves, and listening to the cries coming from the circle of people. Looking at the naked corpses piled up in the open space on the side, Zhu Guoqiang's face turned pale.
"Go, tell the invincible, those Qing soldiers...... One chance does not leave a living mouth! ”
……
After ordering people to count and resettle and rescue the refugees, when rushing to the city, Zhu Guoqiang did not look back to look behind him, but stared at the broken wall outside the city of Jinan, which was burned down by the Qing army.
But, no matter what, I kept this place!
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhu Guoqiang's lips were lightly raised, and his face was full of pride, and at this moment, he heard someone shouting.
"Your Highness, Your Highness is there, I want to see His Royal Highness the Prince......"
