Volume 4 Chapter 32 Bringing You Back to the Ming Dynasty (II)
Qian Liang came outside, glanced directly at the team leader, and the group led the horse to the middle of the village.
After a while, he found the big courtyard where Zhu Shen lived, this courtyard was really big enough, covering an area of more than ten acres, and there was a one-and-a-half-person high wall on the periphery.
Kick in the door or climb over the wall?
If it weren't for such a cold day, he would definitely not hesitate to ask someone to climb over the wall to enter, but it was really dangerous to climb over the wall on this day, the wall was also slippery, the ground was also slippery, and he accidentally fell and injured himself.
He thought about it for a while, and simply said to the team leader: "You take five people to the back, don't let them run away." ”
When the captain of the squad led the people away, he asked the horse to be tied to the tree next to the gate, and then he turned his face open, drew his sword and shouted: "Go on, kick the door open, and all the people inside will be killed!" ”
When the six team members heard this, they immediately pulled out their sabers and rushed up to the gate together, which was a kick.
With a bang, the arm-thick deadbolt flew out by them, and the door opened.
There was no reaction inside!
Qian Liang rushed into the yard with a knife and took a look, it turned out that the courtyard in front of him was specially for cattle, and there were cowpens, sheepfolds and horse sheds on both sides, and several ox carts and carriages were parked next to it.
There was no gate at all when he entered the courtyard, Qian Liang rushed in directly with six team members, and he didn't need to look for it, he knew where there were people, because there were all kinds of sound of drinking orders in the main house in the middle, and it was messy, and when he heard it, he knew that there were many people drinking inside.
Qian Liang glanced at the left and right, and asked the four team members to search in the wings on all sides, and then rushed up first, kicking the door open, and then flying in with a knife.
There were five people sitting around drinking together, and it seemed that they were a little drunk at this time, and when they saw someone kicking in the door, they didn't know how to dodge, but they all slapped the table and stood up and scolded: "What kind of person, are you impatient?" ”
Qian Liang didn't answer, and rushed up to "brush and brush" is a few knives, and the five of them fell down in a daze.
At this time, the two team members rushed in, and Qian Liang directly snorted coldly: "Search." ”
Without hesitation, the two team members rushed into the rooms on either side, only to quickly run out shaking their heads, and it was clear that there was no one inside.
Soon, four other team members who had gone to search the quadrants also ran in to report that they had not found anyone.
What's going on, including Zhu Shen and the scoundrels who took refuge in them, there are only five people, and they are still so careless!
In fact, they can't be blamed for being careless, because they didn't expect anyone to dare to kill them.
At this time, Houjin's control over the civilians of Liaodong is quite strict, if any village kills Zhu Shen sent by Niu Lu to manage it, then Niu Lu will bring people to kill all the men in the whole village, and all the women and children will be arrested and enslaved!
Therefore, the Zhushen who manages here is not worried that the common people will come to kill them, just kidding, killing one, slaughtering the men of a village, who would dare to touch them.
In fact, at the beginning, Nurhachi still wanted to let Zhushen and the common people of Liaodong live together, after all, it was convenient to monitor and manage.
However, he didn't realize how much the civilians of Liaodong hated them.
What "keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head." ”
What "twenty draws a dime, and the rest comes with the pass." ”
There is also a year and half of the year to serve labor for Niu Lu and Zhushen to farm land, build houses, and work as coolies for free.
Even Nurhachi even came up with a strange rule, all the food in the homes of civilians must be handed over, and it will be distributed by Niu Lu, one person has four buckets a month, and after a year, the rest will be returned to you!
There's still a fart, so many Eight Banners children who don't farm and eat, take a point, it's gone.
Do you want to mix with civilians and exploit civilians in front of them?
Therefore, the civilians in Liaodong continued to riot, and these Zhushen were poisoned, drunk, killed, and beaten with sticks.
There was even a particularly strange thing for a while, many shops opened by merchants in Liaodong sold food to Zhu Shen were poisoned, and they took it back and ate it, and they all died!
was so angry that Nurhachi jumped like thunder and set countless strange rules.
If this Zhushen is killed, all the men in the whole village will be killed, and all the women and children will be arrested and enslaved!
If the number of people is less than ten, the person who is inspected will be fined silver, and there are regulations on how much the penalty is for missing one.
What else is sold by all merchants in Liaodong must indicate the name and address of the store on the packaging, if something happens, the entire store will be executed!
In short, it's just one word, kill, kill if you don't accept it, kill until you obey.
As a result, the number of civilians in Liaodong is getting smaller and smaller, so that Houjin has to rob people everywhere, of course, in the end, they are still afraid of killing the common people, and they dare not resist them anymore.
However, there is no such thing at this time, and the civilians of Liaodong still want to escape and want to escape back to Daming.
Who wants to live this kind of life without any freedom, without any hope, without any future, only to be a cow and a horse, and to be careful of their lives at all times!
Qian Liang searched the Zhushen house carefully, and after making sure that there was no one, he went back and asked Xiaoshun and his cousin to inform the other civilians to pack up their things and go back to Daming!
The whole village suddenly seemed to come to life, and the people were full of voices, hearing that Mao Shuai sent someone to rescue them back to Daming, no one objected, and everyone happily packed up their things and prepared to run away.
In fact, they have nothing to clean up, there is basically no furniture, no poultry, four buckets of food per person, and a family is just one bag.
But this Zhushen's family is terrible, there are ten cattle and sheep, there are more than 20 horses, and the grain is even more than all the people's homes combined, Qian Liang reluctantly gave everyone a share of the grain, and tied the door and bed boards behind the horses, and then distributed the carriage and ox cart, so he set off with more than 100 people.
After trembling all the way for more than an hour, the group finally came to the Beihai fishing port, at this time the fishing port is no longer deserted, the remaining 100 Dongjiang Army officers and men have already helped the special combat team goalkeeper set up the camp tent, some of the teams have completed today's task and returned, and some of the teams have just picked up the common people and are helping them board the boat.
The weather is cold, but people's hearts are hot, after seven or eight years of hard work, Daming finally remembered them, and finally came to pick them up, and all the people were overjoyed.
Qian Liang sent the people on the boat, even if the task of this day was completed, twenty teams, more than 100 villages, at the beginning, each team could pick up one trip a day, and in the back, it would take two days to go back and forth, and the farthest would even take three days, so that they had to set off with tents.
Fortunately, all the villages were able to collect some ox carts and horse-drawn carts from Zhu Shen, and they gradually became driving to pick up people, but they were not as hard as they were at the beginning.
Anyway, if they rob people so blatantly, won't the defenders of Gaizhou Wei and Niu Lu Jiala everywhere find out?
Of course, they will find that what they found at the beginning was the various Niulu stations, and although the weather was cold, they still had to regularly send people to inspect the villages under their rule, otherwise the Zhushen there would be killed, and the civilians would run away, wouldn't they know.
This inspection time is generally about three to five days, so on the third day after Cao Wenzhao started the operation, some Niu Lu found that something was wrong, because the people they sent out to inspect did not come back!
A Niu Lu's station is so big, and it will take about half a day at most to inspect a circle, and if you haven't come back in a day, something must have happened.
At this time, if Huang Taiji did not send all the flag soldiers to attack the capital of Daming, each Niu Lu would report the news, and organize a team of more than 100 people to check, but unfortunately, at this time, there are not a hundred Zhushen left in their station, how to check, you must know that the mob of any few villages is united, and it is useless to go to dozens of people!
At this point, they have no choice but to report.
If you report, you still have to go out, as soon as they go out, the Dongjiang Army soldiers who are ambushed outside their station will naturally not be polite, that is to come one, kill one, come two to kill a pair, come to ten to kill five teams!
There are fewer and fewer Zhushen in the various Niu Lu stations, and if the weather is better, the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army will definitely rush up and take their old nests.
Of course, this cannot completely block the people, because the number of Dongjiang troops is also limited, and it is impossible to surround all the Niulu and Jiala garrisons, and at most they will block the external passages of the Niulu and Jiala garrisons.
Niu Lu and Jiala, who were everywhere, were not fools, and after trying once or twice without hearing from them, they would have thought that the road had been blocked.
The road is blocked, so don't walk, just go over the mountain or cross the river and run out to report the news.
Their idea was correct, and the people who reported the news did run out a lot, but they didn't expect that the road to Gaizhouwei, or the road out of Gaizhouwei, was also secretly blocked by the Ming army.
As a result, these people who ran to Gaizhou to report the news arrived outside the city and were to be cleaned by Cao Wenzhao and Lu Shiju's ambushed people!
However, there are always clever ghosts who know that all the roads probably can't be walked, and it's best to climb over the mountains and rivers to go to Gaizhouwei, not on the big road, so, after a few days, the Gaizhouwei defenders still received the news.
In fact, at this time, the defenders in the Gaizhou Guard did not even have a thousand people, and they were only seven or eight hundred people, and the Gaizhou Guard General received the news and had to send a small force of two hundred people to see what was going on.
As a result, they were naturally wrapped dumplings by Cao Wenzhao and killed.
After waiting for a few days, there was no news, and the Gaizhou guards knew that something was wrong at this time, and it was estimated that there were Ming troops everywhere outside, if it weren't for the wrong weather, the Ming army would have already begun to attack the city.
Such a big matter naturally had to be reported to the top, and he was very clever enough to send a few teams of people to directly cross the mountains and mountains to leave the Gaizhou Weidi boundary and report to Beile Ye Tabai in Liaoyang City.
In fact, at this time, Li Ji and Qian Liang's team had almost relocated the civilians.
Twenty squads, go to more than 100 villages, each squad runs five or six times is enough, the first two trips are basically a day back and forth, the middle two trips are almost two days back and forth, the last two trips are almost three days, a total of only eleven or twelve days.
It just so happened that it was almost the New Year at this time, and Cao Wenzhao directly sent a message to Cao Bianjiao, who was stationed dozens of miles away in the north, to convey the message, and the task was completed and he went back for the New Year.
Cao Bianjiao never waited for any reinforcements, in this cold day, the people who reported the news didn't dare to walk too fast on the road, not to mention going over the mountains and mountains, even if they were lucky enough to get to Liaoyang, which was hundreds of miles away, it didn't take more than ten days to get there.
When he retreated, the messenger was still on the way, let alone reinforcements.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao each led more than 2,000 people to return to Phi Dao, at this time, Yu Chenglong had organized more than 200 wheels and ships to transport back and forth three times, but after all, the capacity was limited, a wheel boat could stuff people at most 50 civilians, and a trip could transport more than 10,000 people at most, so at this time, there were still 60,000 or 70,000 civilians in the entire Phi Island!
There are also many cattle, sheep and horses, which are terrifying, and there are tens of thousands.
What's going on here?
This is actually related to Huang Taiji's conquest of the Mengyuan tribes in the past two years, and every time they conquered it was a plunder, regardless of the population or cattle, sheep and horses, they all grabbed it back and distributed it to the following banner owners, Baylor, Gushan, Jiala, and Niulu, plus they robbed more livestock in the hands of millions of people in Liaodong, and all the cattle under the name of Jiala and Niulu were many, with hundreds of heads and thousands of heads.
Naturally, it is impossible for them to concentrate on themselves to raise so many livestock, and most of them will be scattered to various villages, let Zhu Shen watch, and force the common people to feed them.
This time, Cao Wenzhao and Chen Jisheng saved hundreds of civilians from the village, and these cattle, sheep and horses were naturally snatched together.
Therefore, there are tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses on Phi Island at this time.
Sixty or seventy thousand people, tens of thousands of cattle, the small city in the port could not be stuffed, but fortunately, the simple stone houses where they lived had not been demolished, plus some old tents, it was enough to temporarily settle these people.
However, these cattle are a troublesome matter, tens of thousands of heads, how much forage to eat a day, at this time the transportation capacity is not enough, people can not be transferred, let alone livestock, to transfer these livestock to Dongfan, at least have to wait for a month.
Phi Dao is a bald head, go there to find so much forage for them, Mao Wenlong gritted his teeth, came to a big slaughter, cattle to plough the land, horses to carry people, do not kill, this sheep, raised originally for food, he simply ordered to account for more than half of the more than 6,000 sheep all killed, the fur left to make leather armor, not only to keep warm, but also to increase the defense, as for the meat, just for the New Year, stew a few hundred heads a day, and eat with the common people.
This year, Phi Dao is very lively, and it can be said that Phi Dao has not been so lively since the opening of the town.
Sixty or seventy thousand Liaodong people and 30,000 Dongjiang army soldiers, as well as thousands of soldiers sent by Dongfan, gathered together, eating mutton, drinking mutton soup, celebrating the return of tens of thousands of people to the Ming Dynasty, get a new life, the whole New Year, the laughter of Phi Island has not stopped!
