Luo Mingshi deliberately appeared fifty paces away from the porridge shed, and if he found those Ming troops chasing him, he was ready to flee into the field immediately.

But he didn't find anyone chasing, only heard the singing, "Red Banner soldiers must remember that they will not rob the common people if they starve to death......

Could it be that this is the prestigious "Red Banner Army"?

Luo Mingshi is a scholar, although he has no fame, he can be regarded as having some knowledge, and he knows some about the major events that happened in the imperial court.

A few years ago, he knew about the "Yongping Great Victory", "Qingcheng Great Victory", "Fuzhou Great Victory", "Jinzhou Great Victory", "Yanbei Great Victory" and so on, and he also knew the "Red Flag Army" that had achieved great achievements in successive battles.

In order to prevent the whole family from starving to death, Luo Mingshi went out, and he straightened his clothes and walked straight to the brightest place, towards the hope of survival......

In fact, his appearance had long been discovered by the scouts and secret sentinels of the "Red Banner Army".

But no one would alarm him, because he had no weapons and no unusual behavior, and the "Red Banner Army" secret sentry chose to continue to observe.

Getting closer, the porridge was even more fragrant, Luo Mingshi couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva, he still drank a bowl of bitter bark and wild vegetable porridge yesterday morning, there was basically no food in it, and there was always a feeling of dizziness at this time.

Finally seeing the homeless people approaching on their own initiative, Liu Zaiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that none of them would come, but as long as one came, there would be a family immediately, and then there would be a large group.

Liu Zaiqi has experience, and when he attracts hungry people in Gaotaibao and the coastal areas of Shandong, he uses the aroma of porridge to lure the people out to eat a full stomach, and he will use the opportunity of face-to-face contact with the hungry people to carry out propaganda.

Luo Mingshi came to the cauldron of porridge with the ancestral jade pendant in his hand, and was just about to speak, when he found a general with a smile on his face and greeted: "Don't be in a hurry to say anything, first come to a bowl of gruel to warm your stomach, this pot is no longer hot." ”

And such a good thing? Luo Mingshi hesitated, and he looked at the brightly dressed Ming soldiers with incredulous eyes.

It's no wonder that Luo Mingshi can't believe that at this time, a bowl of sticky hot porridge is about equal to life, and it is possible to cause a bloody case.

A member of the propaganda team quickly filled a bowl of porridge and sent it to Luo Mingshi, but Luo Mingshi held the porridge bowl but did not drink it.

He cautiously asked, "My lord, there are still more than a dozen people in the student's family who are starving, can you allow the student to take this bowl of porridge away?" ”

The person who came was still a person who had read a book, and Liu Zaiqi was even more happy and said:

"This official is ordered by the Marquis of Dongping to come to the camp to give porridge to the hungry, don't worry! We are the glorious 'Red Banner Army', and we are the heroes who beat the Tartars and Jiannu to the ground.

The 'Red Banner Army' will never kill the good and take the merits, starve to death and rob the common people, you drink this bowl of porridge and bring your family! Everyone's Share! ”

It turned out to be Dongping Hou soup porridge, this is really a charcoal in the snow! At this moment, the reader's eyes were really blurred by tears.

Then it was much simpler, Luo Mingshi took his family to drink porridge and took the initiative to go with his younger brother Luo Mingcai to tell the fleeing fellow villagers the good news that they had met the "Red Flag Army".

Soon hundreds of hungry people gathered outside the camp.

The common people knew that following the "Red Flag Army" would get soup porridge early in the morning, and finally they would take everyone across the sea to divide the fields and acres in western Liaoning.

It's a pity that most people are reluctant to go to sea, so they choose to leave to fend for themselves after drinking two bowls of porridge to recover some physical strength.

Liu Zaiqi was still kind and pleasant, and also instructed everyone to come back when they found that they couldn't find a way to live, and they didn't dare to say anything else with the "Red Flag Army", and promised that they would not starve to death and that no one could do it.

"Those who stay are voluntary, and those who go are free!" This is the basic policy of the population in the interior this time, of course, this is only limited to the good people and the homeless, and the mob and the captives have no choice.

Huang Han doesn't care about giving many people a few meals in vain, just a few bowls of porridge for one common person, which doesn't cost much food, but the propaganda effect is not trivial.

Those ordinary people who have eaten food and recovered some physical strength will continue to wander, and will encounter more displaced people, and soon the news that the benevolent and righteous "Red Banner Army" will be able to have porridge to eat will spread all over the Central Plains.

It is believed that it will not be long before more people will know about the conditions for the reclamation given by the "Red Banner Army" to the Western Liaoning Corridor, and there will definitely be displaced people who will take the initiative to look for the "Red Banner Army" and ask to go to sea.

This is not taken for granted, too many homeless people have begun to choose to go from thieves to this road of no return in order to survive, and what is impossible to choose to take some risks to go to sea to reclaim outside the Guanwai?

Huang Han was a prophet and knew that the rogue had not been beaten in the past few years, so he asked Liu Zaiqi to make public the march route of the "Red Banner Army", with the intention of making it possible for the hungry people who had figured it out and were willing to go to sea to find a team.

In the past few days, it is not useless to give porridge to the people, but many people still choose to follow.

A part of the common people led by Luo Mingshi asked the ins and outs, and learned that a small half of the soldiers in the "Red Banner Army" here are in western Liaoning, and they are the tunhu or Weisuo army, and now they have no worries about food and clothing, and their living conditions are thriving.

In troubled times, it was already a luxury to be able to get food and clothing, so more than 400 households and 2,000 people chose to gamble and stay.

Within a day or two, they would be escorted by the "Red Banner Army" to Tianjin, and Wei would cross the sea to western Liaoning by boat.

Among the hundreds of men and horses left by Sun Liuzhuang, there was only one general banner regular soldier, the rest were the general guards who lacked a general banner, and the escort of more than 2,000 people to Tianjin was a general banner regular soldier and a general flag guard.

Two or three thousand displaced people could not go to Tianjin Wei at all, not because the mountains were high and the road was far away, but because it was a flat river, and the road conditions were very good, which could fully meet the gallop of four-wheeled carriages, but a large number of displaced people could not pass through the state at all.

Along the way, the state government found that thousands of homeless people gathered and would send officials and soldiers to drive them away, and if they didn't do well, they would be killed as rogues.

With the documents issued by the Marquis of Dongping, and the escort of the "Red Banner Army" with a hundred generals, there is no possibility of being driven away and killed, and when they go to Tianjinwei, there should have been merchant ships and warships waiting for them.

In the past two years, there have been endless contacts with Tianjin Wei, and there are passenger ferries sailing in Lushunkou, Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan, Weihaiwei, Juzhou, Haizhou and other cities near the sea every day, and there are many people visiting relatives and friends and doing business.

Many businessmen are willing to take a boat from Tianjin Wei to the south, and the sea route to transport goods is not only fast, the shipment volume is large, but also saves more than half of the transportation costs.

The nine major businesses that have obtained the right to operate in Liaohai basically have industries in Tianjin Wei, which is actually one of their home ports, and the relationship between the top and bottom has been opened, and now it serves Dongpinghou, and there will be no Tianjin guards in public and private to dare to eat and take cards, and make trouble.
