Chapter 8 Fugitives
One throws into the city, two votes for the Ming, three votes for the clear, and then again for the Ming, and then for the bandits, how to calculate, this Song Xianggong can't take off the hat of "three family slaves" on his head. Looking at his experience, it can also be said that there is no one before and no one after him, and it really makes people "impressed".
In the past, Song Xianggong was mixed in a group of big bosses, and he didn't say anything about the past, after all, these people were not much stronger than him, and he was not afraid of fifty steps at all in a hundred steps. But in front of Zhou Shixiang, for some reason, he always felt that the past was too unbearable, so his face was very dry. When Boss Hu spoke, he wanted to step forward to interrupt him several times, but he couldn't move his feet, and he was sulking for a while, wishing that there was a crack in the ground for him to get into.
Boss Hu didn't know if it was done on purpose, or if he was born rude, he didn't notice Song Xianggong's awkward appearance, and his voice was very loud, and after he finished speaking, he said to Zhou Shixiang proudly: "I didn't lie to you, our Mr. Song has indeed been the county master, if it weren't for the unfortunate death of the old prince, I can't say which house Mr. Song is still doing the mansion." (Author's note: After Li Chengdong's death, the Yongli court of the Southern Ming Dynasty posthumously awarded him the title of "King of Ningxia")
"Yes, yes, Mr. Song!"
Zhou Shixiang didn't dare to show half a look of contempt for Song Xianggong, and he was very interested in relieving Song Xianggong, who was embarrassed, and said slightly, "Please also ask Mr. to introduce me to several other heroes." ”
"Oh!"
Song Xiang's spirit was lifted, his blushing color was no longer visible, he coughed lightly, gestured to the man who was the leader, and introduced to Zhou Shixiang with a smile: "This Hu boss has a single name and a full character, a native of Hejian Mansion in the north, and after the Tatars entered the customs, they became a fugitive and went south, so they hid in my Li Engong army. After Li Engong died, the Tartars came over, if it wasn't for Boss Hu dragging me away, I would have seen the king of Hades earlier. ”
Escape?
Zhou Shixiang was a little stunned, it was the first time he heard someone fleeing, but he didn't know who fled and why.
Song Xianggong knew that he didn't understand, so he explained a little
The so-called fugitives, refers to the Manchu Qing Dynasty after entering the customs to reward the Han people who served as slaves, such people are roughly the Qing army in the Chongzhen period into the customs and plundered, and then the Manchu Qing Dynasty Dingding Central Plains, in order to reward the Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers, the regent Dolgon special order in Gyeonggi, Beizhi enclosure to pay for the merits, the people in the enclosure are all allocated as slaves. Occasionally, there are also Ming troops captured by the Qing army who went south to fight one after another, these people can't fight, but they can work, plus they are all young and strong men, so they are deeply liked by the Manchurian masters.
Hu Laoda is the family land was encircled by the Eight Banners, and he did not want to be turned into his slaves and fled south with his mother and brother.
Thinking of the old lady and brother who died on the way to flee south, Boss Hu couldn't help but interrupt Song Xianggong and scolded: "The escape method of dog days, in order to take us back as slaves, the Tartars have killed more people than escapers!" ”
Song Xianggong told Zhou Shixiang on the side that the Qing court had formulated a harsh law on fugitives in order to prevent local people from hiding fugitives.
The reason why the Tartars attach so much importance to the fugitives is not that the fugitives are the lifeblood of those Manchurian masters, and the masters are counting on these slaves to cultivate and produce for them.
The deceased Qing regent Dolgon had an edict to the Manchu and Han officials in the fourth year of Shunzhi, saying, "The population obtained from the bloody war has always been used for farming and horse grazing, but it is a flight to the Japanese people, and one out of ten is not obtained. If the law is strict, the Han people will suffer, but if the law is not strict, then the nest will be unscrupulous, and the more people will escape, who will I drive in Manchuria? What is the need for health? Are the Manchurians bitter? ”
In order to prevent any more Han officials from making indiscriminate remarks, Dolgon also told his ministers: "Those who are implicated in shaving their hair, dressing their clothes, enclosing land, surrendering people, and fleeing will be beheaded, and they are not allowed to be sealed." ”
Under such heavy pressure, the local government will no longer dare to neglect the fugitive, but where there are fugitives in the territory, they will all be arrested and repatriated to the north, for which hundreds of thousands of people are hunted and killed, whether you are the father hiding the son or the son hiding the father, or the husband hiding the wife, or the wife hiding the husband, that is to catch and kill, and the head is cut off a large piece, it is really reckless, miserable!
Ordinary Han people were killed in large numbers for harboring fugitives, and the Han officials who worked for the Qing court were not spared, and the former Qing Dynasty's Guangxi governor Guo Jiji did not report because of the fugitives hidden under the account, as a result, Dolgon was furious, and directly beheaded his entire family, and the family property was confiscated, and Geng Jimao, the king of the south of Qingjing, who was the prince, was even more frightened and committed suicide because of his subordinates' private hiding of fugitives!
The governor and the prince all ended up like this because of the fugitive, where did the other officials dare to slack off, not for anything else, but for their own lives, they must also arrest all the fugitives and those who dare to harbor, otherwise, God knows if the regent will also target his head. In this case, the situation of fugitives like Hu Boss is really miserable, and most of the survivors who successfully escaped were either caught halfway and sent back to be slaves to death, or were slaughtered by the Qing soldiers because of resistance.
Counting up, Boss Hu is still lucky, he successfully mixed into Li Chengdong's army in the south, although he broke an arm, but because his hometown Hejian Mansion has a martial atmosphere, he has practiced a skill since he was a child, and he has made some contributions in the army, and was selected by Li Chengdong to join the pro-army, otherwise, how can he survive until now.
"Don't talk about this, as soon as I say that my heart is blocked, when the three of my brothers fled south to protect the old lady, the old lady and the second brother and the third brother all died in the middle of the road, and I am the only one alive, alas! I'm afraid I won't be able to avenge this revenge. ”
Boss Hu's face darkened suddenly, the current situation is clear to everyone, this Da Ming is afraid that he is really going to die, and he can't revenge it.
Boss Hu's desperate look made Zhou Shixiang sigh in his heart, and comforted him: "We still have the Son of Heaven in the Ming Dynasty, and there are several provinces in the territory, this world may not be occupied by the Tartars, and I can't say that I will be able to defeat the Tartars in the future. ”
"Alas, it's hard." Boss Hu shook his head, his expression was melancholy, which made people look so uncomfortable.
Zhou Shixiang didn't know how to persuade him, and when he saw Boss Hu's left sleeve hanging there empty, he said, "Brother Hu's arm is also called a Tartar scourge?" ”
Hearing this, Boss Hu's expression changed, he immediately shook his head, didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the shed, and the other men's faces were also different, looking at Zhou Shixiang's eyes with a little complaint.
Zhou Shixiang thought that he had said something wrong, and he was at a loss for a while, and he was stunned.
Glancing at the figure of Boss Hu outside, Song Xianggong secretly shook his head, took two steps forward and patted Zhou Shixiang's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Boss Hu's arm is not called a Tartar scourge, but he broke it himself." ”
"Broken by yourself? Why?! ”
Zhou Shixiang was dumbfounded, there are still people in this world who broke their own arms?
Song Xianggong's tone was a little heavy, he said: "Back then, Boss Hu fled south with his mother and brothers, and the Tartars checked tightly on the road, so they hid in the mountains, but they didn't have a bite to eat, and the old lady was so hungry that the three brothers went out of the mountains to find food. How do you think that the second and third children called the Qing soldiers to find out, and the two brothers refused to be captured back as slaves when they died, so they fought hard with the Qing soldiers, and they were all killed. After Hu Lao Da fled back, he didn't dare to tell the old lady the truth, and the old lady was so hungry that she only had one breath left, so she gritted her teeth and broke her arm with a stone, found a pot discarded by the people in the mountains, and boiled the broth for his mother to eat, and his mother swallowed her breath not long after eating. ”
Silk!
After hearing this, Zhou Shi gasped, he had heard the story of twenty-four filial piety in his previous life, what Lu Yi obeyed his mother, buried his son and served his mother, sold himself to bury his father, and begged for carp on ice, all of them sounded like filial piety, but they were all handed down by the elders, who knew whether it was true or false, but now he heard with his own ears a shocking filial piety of feeding his mother with a broken arm, and the person concerned was alive in front of him, and he was really shocked in his heart.
Filial piety, the first filial piety in the world!
