On the third day of September in the nineteenth year of Shunzhi, although the Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, the sun outside this pass is like there is no trace of heating, the weather suddenly cooled down, and the autumn wind together is even more blowing people shivering.

A slightly chilly wind descended all the way south from the grassland in the north of the desert, and when it blew across the big sandy land, the sand and dust between the sky and the earth flew all over the sky, and even the dust between the meadows was rolled up, and the sky became even more chaotic.

In the gray world, flags of various colors were blown by the cold wind, and the triangular flags shook incessantly with the wind, and there were bursts of flag swings. And in the midst of the waving of the flags, most of the cavalry horses and soldiers in armor walked listlessly, and in the middle of the procession, the dusty women were also numb with their steps, and every step seemed extremely heavy.

As she walked, there would be a weary man in the crowd who would fall to the ground, and the people around would not even glance at it, and then they would go on walking around her, as if everything was so numb, they had been walking on the grass for months, though occasionally they could rest for a few days. But even so, people kept falling.

Lebtay, who was riding on horseback, looked at some faltering women, and looked at the listless figures of the soldiers, he couldn't help but sigh, and a little sadness arose in his heart.

Is this what is called the image of Doom? Is this the once famous Manchurian soldier?

Not to mention those clothed minions, that is, the imperial guards who are responsible for the safety of the emperor, all of them have lost their former spirit in the past few months, if it weren't for the armor on their bodies, the waist knife on their hips, and the spear in their hands, these people would be like ...... Isn't it just a bunch of Hanako!

These were originally the royal guards of the noble children of the Eight Banners, and in the past, they were all arrogant and raised their noses to the Lord of Heaven, but now they all have vegetables on their faces, and the armor on their bodies has become tattered, and even cracked, and the cotton cloth between the bubble nails has turned over because of cracking, and there is still the atmosphere of the past in tatters. As for the clothed slave with a red tassel spear over there, the appearance is even more miserable, many people are disheveled, beards are stubble, and there is no difference between looking at them and calling Hanako, and there are even people who don't even have a pair of shoes on their feet, only wrapped in rags that they don't know where they got from nowhere.

It has only been a few months since he escaped from the door, and the Manchurian soldiers who were rampaging in Mongolia and Daming have actually become like this! Ended up in this field.

Defeat is like a mountain!

Although the Qing Dynasty is not a defeat, let alone a mountain, it can even be said that it is safe to retreat to Mongolia, and the imaginary collapse of the army also did not happen, but because "Manchuria" was captured by the Ming army, after they left the Beijing Division, they went all the way to the west, along the desert steppe all the way to flee for 2,000 miles, this road can be said to be without food and clothing, hunger and cold, these Qing soldiers without a nest, in order to fill their stomachs, along the way to plunder the Mongols on the grassland, not only that, they for a bag of grain, a horse, a cow, A sheep will sometimes fight to the death. There was even a team of soldiers who directly killed the Mongolian Beizi and his guards who came to meet them, and then snatched their horses and walked away, as for the herdsmen who plundered Mongolia, it was even more common, along the way, the Mongolian herdsmen who died in their hands were not tens of thousands, but also tens of thousands......

But even if they stole thousands of cattle and horses along the way, they were only barely wrapping their stomachs, after all, these hundreds of thousands of women, children, old and weak, were not only the hope of the Qing Dynasty to rise again, but also waiting to be fed, and they also had to eat.

How to fill these hundreds of thousands of mouths has long become the most headache for Fulin, although when he first left Beijing, he took away 300,000 stone of grain, and everyone else shared 30 catties of food, but dragged down by the old and weak women and children, this road has been a full four months, and the food that should have been almost enough to eat has already been consumed. This is still so far from Shaanxi, what can I do next?

As the emperor, Shunzhi was angry, but there was no way, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, not to mention that he was not a good woman, and naturally he couldn't change the food that could feed hundreds of thousands of people.

"Kupilon, it's almost time to get to Naturalization City!"

When he looked into the distance, Fu Linchong asked Curb Pilon on the side, listening to the emperor's question, Curb Pilon hurriedly replied.

"Back to the emperor, there are still thirty miles left."

"In the tenth year of Tiancong, Emperor Taizong defeated Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan fled all the way west, and after Emperor Taizong chased to Guihua City, he seized Guihua City and then set fire to the city, only to protect the Silver Buddha Temple......"

As if suddenly awakened, Fu Lin said again.

"Did you say that the Buddha would bless me and wait?"

The emperor's question made Ji Bilong hurriedly say on the side.

"The Buddha will definitely bless me, if it weren't for the blessing of the Buddha, how could it be so smooth for me to go out of the customs for 2,000 miles this time? The servant heard that Abunai, the prince of Chahar, had been ill for the past few days, so he was afraid that he would not be able to come to the city of naturalization for a while, but he also sent people to send cattle and sheep to naturalization. ”

Prince Abunai of Chahar is also the son of Lin Dan Khan, who inherited the title of Prince of Chahar after the death of Prince Ezhe of Chahar 20 years ago. Previously, Fu Lin had sent someone to issue an edict to Abnai to pay tribute, but Abnai kept complaining of illness.

"Oh."

Fu Lin replied with some disappointment, and then said.

"Abunai is the seed of Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan has never surrendered to my Qing Dynasty, even Ezhe was only forced to surrender to my Qing Dynasty back then, today Abunai saw that my Qing Dynasty was weak, naturally it is impossible for me to be obedient to the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that his illness is just an excuse!"

Curb Pilon hurriedly said to the side.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't hurt that he Abunai said that his illness was an excuse, as long as he sent cattle and sheep to Guihua City, he could fill the stomachs of hundreds of thousands of people, as for him...... If he dares to have a different heart, the emperor will not spare him, in the eyes of the minion, he Abunai must not have the courage to do so, after all, the emperor still has more than 100,000 horses around him, and Abunai is only 20,000 banners, how can he be the opponent of my Great Qing Kingdom, and Ordos is connected with Shaanxi, how can he take his own risk? ”

Fu Lin let out a long sigh, lowered his head and groaned. He said after a moment.

"I hope so......"

It wasn't until the evening that the remnants of the city walls of the Naturalization City finally appeared in the eyes of everyone, and when people looked at the cattle and sheep outside the Naturalization City, even the people who seemed to be numb at the beginning would all show a smile on their faces.

There are cows and sheep!

There's meat to eat!

Located in the yin of Daqing Mountain, the Yellow River on the shore of the Naturalization City was built in the Ming Dynasty in the sixth year of Longqing, although it was built by the Mongolian leader Altan Khan who was stationed in Tumochuan, but after completion, it was given the name of "Naturalization City" by the Ming Court. Although this was the only city on the grassland, but when Tiancong was ten years old, it was destroyed by the Houjin, leaving only a few sections of the remnant wall and the silver Buddha temple.

And for those Qing soldiers who had just arrived in Guihua City, this flock of sheep meant food, and for Fulin, who was still there suspiciously saying that "Abunai is a lowly breed of Lin Dan Khan", he never thought that Abunai would be so submissive, although he did not come to the Naturalization Hajj, not only ordered people to send a large number of cattle and sheep, but even sent food.

"Your Majesty, that Abunai is a loyal minister of my Great Qing Kingdom, and he has sent 50,000 stone of grain!"

Suppilon's expression looked a little excited.

"50,000 stone of grain, if you save some food, it is enough to eat for half a month, half a peng, almost enough to pass through Ordos and enter Shaanxi!"

"Lord Ji, don't forget that there are still 100,000 sheep, with these things, the minions under it finally don't need to starve anymore!"

Once upon a time, for everyone, what they were most worried about was Abunai, that is, whether this Chahar prince would fight back, but who would have thought that he would be so submissive, not only sending a large number of cattle and sheep, but also sending so much grain.

"It seems that this Abunai is not like his father at all, but he is actually a loyal minister of my Qing Dynasty."

Fu Lin praised with a smile on his face, and he even made a special order to reward Abneh, and the city of naturalization was even more lively at this time, and the women who were already exhausted were stationed outside the city in flags, and then received food, compared to the past, not only did they have food, but they even received a sheep for every fifty people.

The people who received the food happily lit a fire with firewood, grass, and cow dung to cook meat porridge in an iron pot, and for a time, there were bonfires outside the city. And in the camp, the laughter of the children sounded, and even the women showed a rare smile, as if for them, the hard days were finally over, although many old and weak women and children did not survive along the way, but now, it was all over.

Then go to the Yellow River, and in a few days, you will be able to go to Shaanxi, and when you go to Shaanxi, you will be able to see your own man. For the women in these flags, this is naturally good news, especially now, the boiling iron pot in the smell of meat, but also make those children secretly swallow saliva, in the children's laughter, those women are also there looking forward to the future, looking forward to the future after arriving in Shaanxi, it seems that everything is smoother than imagined, and all the ordeals will soon be over.

It's just that these women who are looking forward to the future do not see that while they are happily looking forward to the future, a group of people have quietly left the city of naturalization......
