Chapter 526: Running to a New Life
Liaodong has been occupied by the Jianzhou Tatars for many years, and the good men of the Han people who are bloody, courageous, and dare to resist have almost been slaughtered, and those who can survive are some "smart" people. When things happen, they can't come out without coming out, and they are as difficult to gather as a plate of loose sand - maybe this is the basis for their survival.
However, under the brutal rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the fate of the Han people was extremely miserable, and racial discrimination and ethnic cleansing were everywhere. Therefore, the Han people who had suffered a lot of oppression were looking forward to escaping from the tiger's mouth and returning to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
The Tiance army landed in Lushun, swept the area south of Fuzhou, and completely annihilated the Yuetuo Department, and Liaodong was shaken, but all the Han people who had channels to get a little news were overjoyed and eagerly waited.
In particular, the towns, villages and forts in eastern Liaodong, which are close to the first line of Fuzhou, have been the most affected. A few conditional bannermen began to move northward, entering Gaizhou, Haizhou and other big cities, hoping to be sheltered by the Manchu army. But the vast majority of the banner people do not have this condition, because their roots are already rooted here, and in order to guard against the possible arrival of the Tiance army, they have to form a village to protect themselves.
The movements of the banner people and the news revealed gave new hope to the Han slaves in this area, and Han slaves who escaped while they were unprepared often occurred.
Under the rule of the Manchus, not only do they have no dignity, but their lives are also in danger, and there is hope of being a human being again.
Even if the ground is full of thorns, they must keep moving forward - the power of human beings to aspire to freedom is very strong, and they do not hesitate to risk their lives. Because the Manchus had only one attitude towards "fugitives", and that was to kill.
These people only gathered temporarily, and the slightest disturbance on the road was scattered, and no one cared about anyone.
They just met on the way to escape and got together, and the Han people in Liaodong who did not enter the customs basically did not shave their hair and keep braids, which is very recognizable.
Han people who can shave their hair, those are all masters who raise you, only Baoyi Aha or Han military banners have such treatment, and other Han people who have not shaved their hair know at a glance that you are a Han slave.
These people are considered lucky people, and the search of the Qing army during this period is also more sloppy than before, and it should be said that the performance of the Qing army is very strange and abnormal.
Several times I heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, which sounded near them, and even the figures of Qing troops on horseback could be seen, and they were not found hiding in the grass.
Once, a man finally fell to the ground in a panic and was discovered by the Qing army, but he was only given a few whips, and the Qing army walked away. If it was before, they would definitely kill that person with a knife and then find someone else, which allowed this temporary team to stumble all the way to the Isthmus of Golden State.
When they saw the Ming army, they were overjoyed and finally escaped and ascended to heaven. These refugees fled all the way here, most of them were scared, and they were originally supported by one breath, but at this time, when they saw the army of the Ming Dynasty, their hearts were discharged, and many people sat on the ground and couldn't get up.
These Ming troops were all from Dongjiang Town, and they were specially located here to assist the Tiance Army in accepting refugees.
An old soldier from Dongjiang Town shouted: "Everyone come over and make a registration, and I will send you to Tiance Army in a while, they will give you food, rice porridge and white flour buns." ”
As soon as they heard about the rice porridge and white-flour buns, the refugees, who were already tired, got up from the ground and lined up to report their names and ages, and a clerk from the Ming army registered them.
But they are also strange, these Ming soldiers are bright and brightly dressed, not at all the Ming army they have seen before, they are not in tattered clothes, patches are patched, and they are not the legendary Tiance Army.
Recently, there has been an increase in the number of fugitives coming from the north, and these Ming troops in Dongjiang Town are specially placed in front to collect the fugitives, and their mandarin duck battle jackets can make these fugitives who have become frightened birds feel at ease.
The Baoding army has changed its clothes, Dongjiang Town is currently the closest Ming army to the Tiance Army, common interests and common enemies, Wang Yue brought them great benefits, Wang Yue for them to win a transcendent status in North Korea, which makes Dongjiang Town and the Tiance Army closer and closer, after all, it is the parents of food and clothing!
The appearance of the army in Dongjiang Town is Wang Yue's request, after all, they are now in North Korea and represent the image of a great country, so they are all dressed in new clothes, even the armor is new. In this regard, Wang Yue provided some cloth as a subsidy, and the clothes were made by the family members in Dongjiang Town.
Therefore, the fabric of the mandarin duck jacket in Dongjiang Town is a modern product, and the dye technology is not comparable to this era, so it looks more bright.
The military uniform of the Tiance Army looks at it from the perspective of this era, it is very strange, but the more you look at it, the more spirited it becomes, especially the record of the Tiance Army is so brilliant, and the invincible image is gradually entering the hearts of the people, and this military uniform looks more pleasing to the eye, only to find that the military uniform of the Tiance Army is cleaner and neater than the mandarin duck battle jacket.
Therefore, Shen Shikui once proposed the need for Dongjiang Town to change clothes, but Wang Yue politely refused, after all, Dongjiang Town is now a cooperative relationship, and it is not a dependency relationship.
The checkpoint of the Tiance Army is not far from the Ming Army, and it is more than a mile. Led by two Ming troops. Before I got to the place, I smelled the aroma of food, and all my thoughts turned into one thought, that is, hunger.
These fugitives finally met the legendary Tiance Army, and it was indeed different.
The two Ming soldiers greeted the soldiers of the Tiance Army warmly, handed over the registration form, and took a few big steamed buns in their arms when they left, and left happily, and left a sentence:
"Our mission is complete, you listen to them in the future, and your good days are coming."
The familiar soldier just left, and the refugees looked at these Tiance troops wearing colorful military uniforms and steel helmets with some nervousness, and they were very overwhelmed, especially the strange chariot parked next to them.
Compared with the Ming army just now, these Tiance troops are generally younger and more vigorous, and in their eyes they are filled with a kind of pride, which is the pride that only soldiers who have defeated countless enemies on the battlefield and often achieve victory, but it is completely different from the brutality of the Tartar soldiers.
The smiles of the soldiers of the Tiance Army were gentle and friendly: "Fellow countrymen, rest your feet first, eat something, and then we will talk about the rest." ”
As soon as they talked about eating, the refugees came to their senses and let go of their nervousness.
The meal is very simple, steamed porridge and pickles, which is already very satisfying for these refugees, they usually have a hard time eating white flour steamed bread and rice, the key is to be full here, which is even more rare.
