Chapter 492: A Strategy for Obtaining Food
In the end, people's hearts are flesh and blood! Most of these people are Han people that the Ming Dynasty pays the most attention to. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs the southern peak of the high-level of the Ming Dynasty, it is natural to feel distressed. And the dead are not one or two, but one group after another.
Even the soldiers who died on the battlefield did not have these scrawny, quietly rotting and rotting corpses of homeless people.
Because Nanfeng and his party are riding high-headed horses, it looks very unusual. Therefore, many homeless people passing by knelt down to them and begged for something to eat. But Nanfeng endured it and ignored it. Because hungry people are actually the most terrible. Therefore, once Nanfeng opened a precedent for charity, those displaced people who were on the verge of starvation and death would be desperate to grasp this life-saving straw.
If someone has bad intentions, it will lead the homeless people to grab food. Then Nanfeng and them are likely to have worries about their lives. Therefore no matter how much I can bear it, I cannot have the kindness of a woman.
But accidents always follow!
Just as Nanfeng and his party were moving forward with an indifferent face, a little boy of about one meter suddenly rushed to them. If it weren't for Nanfeng and them, they wouldn't have been fast, and maybe the little boy would have been trampled into a pulp.
Seeing that someone was blocking the way, the guards were nervously guarding Nanfeng inside. Even if the other party was just a little boy who seemed very thin, the guards did not dare to be careless. This reflects the quality of the guards! At no time will we give up our vigilance.
In the end, it is one in a million, and it is reasonable to have such a performance.
And the little boy who blocked the way was nervous. After all, the guards have all experienced the test of blood and fire, so they have a rare evil aura on their bodies. At this time, he looked vigilant, and the breath made even adults fearful.
Not to mention such a half-grown child.
But I don't know where this kid got his courage! Stunned, under the guards' fierce anger and sharp eyes, they stood still. This made Nanfeng a little surprised.
According to the original plan, they should rush to Wenshan County, the seat of Kaihua Province, before the sun sets. So on the way, it's best not to delay. So a strong-armed guard walked up to the little boy very unceremoniously and told him to go away.
But the little boy fell to his knees with a puff, crying and begging for his mother's life. Nanfeng saw that in the grass on the side of the road, a skinny woman was lying. With the current situation, once you fall, it is difficult to get back up alive.
At this time, there were already many homeless people standing on the side of the road. They all watched and saw that the Yugoslav summit would not lend a helping hand. If Nanfeng really saved people, these homeless people would definitely ask Nanfeng for a way to survive as soon as possible.
Although Nanfeng brought some rations, it was also somewhat dwarfed by the distribution of so many people. So in order to avoid accidents, Nanfeng shook his head at the guard.
So the guard patted the mount and left the right side of the little boy. In the end, the official road is not narrow, and it is impossible for the little boy to block the entire official road. Therefore, even if he didn't leave, Nanfeng and the others could pass by.
It's just that this little boy really has the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers! He grabbed the horse's tail and wanted Nanfeng to stop.
And the horses also knew the pain, and the little boy used all his strength. Immediately there was a neigh, and the horse's hooves were raised high. The guard, who was sitting on it, was almost thrown off his horse. The little boy was also thrown out at once.
Nanfeng frowned slightly, unable to remain indifferent any longer. So he asked the guards to bring the little boy over, and at the same time carried the woman on the ground with him. After all, the homeless people here are watching, and the food must not be taken out to see the light.
In addition, in order to avoid other homeless people learning to block the road, guarding the little boy in the area, Nanfeng whipped his horse and left as fast as possible.
It wasn't until I passed through a small town called Fengchunli that I slowly slowed down.
At this time, the town was very dilapidated, and many houses were empty. Some of the homeless people who could not walk sat on the streets, waiting for death to come. Looking at the numb eyes of these people, Nanfeng's expression seemed very calm. It's also that I've seen a lot on the road, and now it's a little weird.
The little boy sitting in the guard's arms kept looking at Nanfeng with a pair of black eyes. He could see that Nan Feng had the highest status among this group of people. Therefore, his attention was all on Nanfeng.
And he's very well-behaved! After taking the horse, he sat quietly in the arms of the guard. Even though he was still worried about his mother's comfort, he still didn't cry or make trouble.
Fortunately, after eating some dry food, his mother's face was no longer so miserable. Although he is still unconscious, he is much better than his previous dying appearance.
Silent all the way, the little boy followed Nanfeng and the others to Wenshan County, the station of Kaihua Mansion. This is the county town of Qingguo closest to Lao Cai, although the scale is not large, but the city wall, city gate and other basic defense facilities are still intact.
Let Nanfeng also see the appearance of the city in this era up close. It's just that he has no interest in archaeology, so he quickly loses interest in looking at the dusty city walls. Especially when the city gate was tight, he didn't have the heart to look at it.
It was also the Ming Dynasty that did not want to use troops in the Qing Dynasty, so the border guards did not touch this kind of turtle shell city. So until now, this city is still in the hands of the Qing government.
In order to prevent the Ming army from attacking the city, Wenshan County quickly adopted a city-wide closed defense strategy from the beginning of the border guards entering the jurisdiction of Kaihua Prefecture. It was also at the hands of the border guards that they suffered a lot of defeats, and all the Qing soldiers in Wenshan County did not dare to contact the border guards again.
Therefore, he retreated in the county town and let the Ming border guards operate in the territory of Kaihua.
Just to prevent accidents, Daming still left a garrison of 2,000 people outside Wenshan County. They mainly monitored the Qing troops in Wenshan County and nearby areas, and assisted immigration agencies to record the movements and size of the displaced people. After all, Wenshan County is one of the routes that must be crossed by the army of displaced people.
Previously, when the border guards had not yet entered Kaihua, many displaced people wandered around Wenshan County. I hope that the officials and rich families in the county town can pity them and open a shed to give porridge. It's a pity that for dozens of days, Wenshan County has not applied a grain of rice.
Later, the Ming army entered, and Wenshan County directly closed the city gate. The exiles who had entered the city were also driven out. Prompting more displaced people to pour into Vietnam. A large part of the more than 200,000 displaced people who were stranded at the border were from Kaihua Province.
At that moment, Nanfeng changed to a short southwestern horse, followed by guards and border guards. looked at the barracks in front of him and was silent. The commander of the unit stationed here reported on some basic information in Wenshan County in accordance with his request.
