Chapter 32: Gathering the Displaced People

Under the city walls, the homeless people gathered together were like piles of corpses.

In the future generations when the country is strong and the people are rich, how can there be such a scene.

This is the first time that Tang Xidong has truly realized the Ming Dynasty where his ancestors lived, and a person who is not a good person has actually given birth to regret and responsibility for this era for the first time.

Let more people live, because among the thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, there are their own ancestors, and there are ancestors who flow with Chinese blood.

It has the inheritance of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization.

Since he Tang Xidong is here, he can't go through this experience in vain.

On the city wall, Zhang Xiahai pinned his waist knife and hurried to the battlements with three thousand households.

Five hundred meters below the city, the one hundred and five teams in a neat queue stopped moving.

It seems that it is definitely not an anti-army, although Zhang Xiahai has not yet encountered a fight with the anti-army, but he also knows that the anti-army composed of a group of peasants will definitely not be so disciplined.

But right now, where did this team that suddenly appeared come from? Why?

Zhang Xiahai frowned, and was secretly speculating, but saw that in that team, two war horses were carrying two people towards the city.

"Be vigilant." Prepared, Zhang Xiahai still ordered vigilance.

500 meters away, in an instant.

The people in the city have seen clearly the appearance of the people coming.

A thin scholar and a burly middle-aged man.

"Who is the one who came down from the city?" Zhang Xiahai was surrounded by a thousand households, and stepped forward to interrogate with a knife.

Tang Xidong didn't pay attention, just looked at the majestic city wall in front of him, as well as the heavily guarded city defense on the city wall.

"Report your name, or the artillery will serve." Seeing that the other party did not answer, Qianhu was angry on his face.

"Thinking about the people who built the three-zhang city wall back then, they must not have imagined that one day the city wall built by themselves would be forcibly isolated from the hope of future generations, aren't you afraid of the cries of thousands of heroic souls under this city day and night? Aren't there any of your relatives and friends? How can you bear to watch these lives die in this wilderness? ”

"Aren't these thousands of people the people of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Could it be that the hearts of the prefects who study the scriptures of the sages are made of iron and stone?"

"Is the Great Tomorrow the Son of Heaven so unconcerned about the life and death of his people?"

Tang Xidong looked up to the sky and sneered, and the anger in his heart made him question one after another.

On the city wall, the officers and soldiers were ashamed, and the generals were ashamed.

The thousand households were so ashamed and angry that they were about to order to shoot the mad man under the city, but Zhang Xiahai, who had a black face, stretched out his hand to stop him.

So the whole city was speechless.

In the distance, Han Yi listened to the questioning voice from afar in the cold wind, his eyes lit up, his mouth cheered, and then he thought of his identity, and suddenly felt guilty.

"I am from Luoliang Mountain, and since the people are not allowed to enter the city today, then I am willing to accept everyone wholeheartedly from 3,000 people up and down Luoliang Mountain. If you can trust me, you will follow me up the mountain, and I Tangxidong will at least ensure that everyone will go up the mountain, eat a mouthful of hot, and live in a stone house that can shelter from the wind and rain, and will never be like the hard-hearted prefect, regardless of everyone's life and death. Tang Xidong turned to look at the black homeless people on the side.

The homeless people who have been numb and desperate for a long time are probably frightened by the cold and cold of the world, and no one responds.

Tang Xidong looked at the scene in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart, just when he felt that his identity was not believed.

Among the displaced people, a middle-aged man with a talented appearance slowly stood up.

Xiao Sheng knew that there were strongmen entrenched in Luoliang Mountain, but he didn't expect that when he fled the war now, it was not the government that took in everyone who was the master of the people, but the mountain bandits who everyone spurned. I am willing to go up the mountain, I am afraid that there is no more filthy and dark place in Pingyang City in this world. This leader, Xu Sanxing is willing to go up the mountain with you. After Xu Sanxing finished speaking, he got up and strode towards Tang Xidong.

The woman beside her, who was holding a dying child, looked at Xu Sanxing's figure, and slowly got up and followed silently.

Seeing that someone had started their heads, the rest of the homeless people, supporting each other, got up one by one and followed.

As soon as Tang Xidong saw that thousands of displaced people began to act, he once again glanced coldly at the city wall, and said loudly: "Tell the prefect that it is Tang Xidong of Luoliang Mountain who came today, and I will be ashamed in my heart in the future, although I brought troops to find it, I am not afraid of the official authority of his prefect." ”

"In addition, all the brothers in the city, if you still have a conscience, if any people come to the city in the future, please open your mouth and show you a way to live, and say that you can only come to my Luoliang Mountain, no matter how many people, I will take them all in Luoliang Mountain, whether men, women, children, sick or weak. Again, brothers. ”

"Everybody come with me."

Say it! Tang Xidong no longer stayed, and walked into the distance with the mighty homeless people around him.

On the city wall, Zhang Xiahai looked at the black and oppressive crowd under the city, and was ashamed of himself.

Behind him, a thousand households reminded in a low voice: "My lord, do you just let these people leave like this, in case today's events are known to the prefect, I'm afraid I will find trouble with the adults!" ”

When Zhang Xiahai heard this, his face suddenly turned cold: "He Cen Huayan doesn't care about the life and death of the people, does he want to cut off the people's way of life?" He wants to find trouble, come with him, I, Zhang Xiahai, am not afraid of his despicable villain. ”

After speaking, he looked at the scholar figure leading the crowd again, with admiration in his eyes.

How could he Zhang Xiahai not want to be such a hero, but it was a pity that he was bound by a group of cowardly people!

The crowd began to follow in the footsteps of the setting sun.

Tang Xidong asked the people of the hunting team to disperse and go to the crowd to help the old and weak children, and when they came, everyone carried some dough cakes and cold boiled water, and also asked everyone to disperse to the elderly, women and children.

More than 3,000 homeless people joined, slowing down the speed of the team.

Tang Xidong saw that this kind of travel speed was not good, so he asked Liu Dagou to take a few people back to the village first, one is to let Liu Lianqing take the villagers to prepare for receiving, and the other is to bring some young people and mule carts, so that the old people and children can sit on the car and travel, so as to speed up.

After walking 500 meters, Tang Xidong saw the carriages and cavalry parked on the official road.

So he frowned and hurried forward.

I saw that the old man before was supported by the middle-aged man behind him and took two steps forward, and the cold wind swept the old man's silver hair, revealing the old man's sick appearance.

"This little brother, I see that you are benevolent, and you are willing to take in these thousands of people, Xiao Lao'er's hometown is also suffering from war now, and the road is restless, so I want to go up the mountain with you to stay for a few days, can I not say anything?" Although the old man is sick, his voice is full of confidence.

Tang Xidong smiled and responded: "Since even thousands of people have been taken in, why can't the old man go up the mountain to live temporarily?" It's just that my Luoliang Mountain is a well-known bandit village, and the old man is not afraid that he can stay, can't he leave? ”

"Little Lao'er is now half of his body in the ground, why are you afraid of these." The old man also smiled and said freely.

"In that case, then ask the old man to take his family with me up the mountain!" Although Tang Xidong didn't know what the identity of the other party was, looking at his words and deeds, the old man was extraordinary, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

Invite him up the mountain and make observations.

So the group went forward again.

"Dong Weng, you're still too soft-hearted!" Jia Huaizhong smiled bitterly and followed Han Yi's side, moving forward with the flow of people.

Jia Huaizhong, who has followed Han Yi for many years, naturally knows the old man's intentions, and his old man is worried about the uneven future of the people, and he is afraid that the people will have a bad time going up the mountain, so he personally took risks and entered the thief's den.

"I've been soft-hearted for most of my life, and I can't fix this problem!" The old man smiled and disagreed.

Truly.

During the time of the first emperor, Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, impeached Fang Congzhe with Li Kezhuo to offer pills, and it was Dong Weng who played alone: "Those who discuss the law should not turn small suspicions into big doubts, and compilers should not slander history with faith", and persuaded the first emperor not to raise a big prison because of things. thus protecting the first assistant and the leader of the Zhejiang Party, Fang Congzhe, did not cause a major injustice.

The eunuch party gained power, and Dong Weng was also alone in the cabinet, trying to protect his loyalty and retain the last trace of loyalty in the court.

Now that the saint is in power, if he wants to severely punish the eunuch party and rebuild the prison, it is still Dong Weng to play: if you want to be strict, you will never ask, and it is not appropriate to punish too much and too widely. There are only more than 50 people who are in the first rank, which makes the saints dissatisfied, you must know that the eunuch party almost killed him back then.

is such an upright, loyal, generous and virtuous person, but now he was framed by traitors and forced to return to the field, and now he has a family and can't go back, for the sake of thousands of people, he entered the thief mountain alone.

Good people don't have a good life, and the scourge will last for thousands of years!

What's wrong with this world?
