468 Untouchables
For Zakhrev, this is a big trouble in the real right.
These young people are frizzy, arrogant, irritable, even brutal, and even more terrifying, they don't listen to orders! This is deadly on the battlefield! In the eyes of these young people from wealthy families, Zakhlev, a lowly mud-legged man, is not qualified to command them at all, and they have condescended to come here.
Zakhrev has had enough of them!
In fact, in the battle just now, if it weren't for a few noble officers who didn't obey the order and did their own thing, they could have left all the kidnappers who broke in!
And now, all of this, these damn bastards have been screwed up.
"Convene a meeting of all officers above the regimental commander, and inform those great men from Moscow that they must arrive on time! If you're late, don't blame me for being unreasonable! Zakhrev ordered viciously.
"As you wish, Lord Governor!" Adjutant Bukharin, suddenly remembered another thing he had come over, and said: "General Kutuzov wants to meet you, and he has some ideas that he wants to communicate with you about the battle just now. β
"Kutuzov?" Zakhrev admired this young man of the younger generation, who was known as the most militarily talented young man of the younger generation in Moscow, and said: "Okay, call him to come and see me!" By the way, there is one more thing, immediately send cavalry, follow our previous route to the south and go deep into the Jurchen hinterland, and contact those Ming people! β

Pillar State Bigtown.
The west side of the big city of Zhubang is close to the Songhua River, and along the Songhua River to the northeast and southwest, the range of hundreds of miles long and dozens of miles wide has been reclaimed for cultivated land, and the wheat waves are rolling, sweeping out a piece of gold. To the southeast of the great city of Zhubang is an unexplored wilderness, further south. It's a vast jungle.
It's a far cry from a few months ago, with thousands of shacks in the wilderness just outside the city, which are difficult to upgrade. It's all very shoddy and simple. Almost all of them are a few wooden sticks, with weeds on top to block the sun, and these shacks, that is, they can make a living block from the wind, and they can't even block the rain, and once the wind is a little stronger, they will immediately become bald.
Inside the shack. I don't know how many people lived.
These people are in rags, with vegetable faces, and generally yellow and thin muscles, and at a glance they know that they are chronically malnourished.
There are a lot of shacks, but they are very crowded, because there are so many people, at least in tens of thousands!
The shacks form the pattern of a small city. It's divided into sections, and there are streets in between, but it's too dirty. Sewage flowed sideways, and the streets were full of feces and urine. It is roughly the same as the shantytowns of later generations, but it is far worse than the shantytowns.
Groups of men in tattered clothes came out of the shantytown in groups, and then disappeared into the surrounding forest, and many people came out of the forest, carrying all kinds of prey in their hands, and whenever they returned to their own area, a large group of old people, children and women surrounded them, and let out bursts of cheers.
Others nailed a small sampan out of wood and circled around the lake and river. Then he came back with a boatload of fatty fish.
It was noon, and when it was time for lunch, many of the shacks had already started cooking with fires in front of them. A burst of charming fragrance came out, and in this hard and dirty life, a hint of warmth permeated the taste.
These people. It's a pariah.
When Lian Zining returned to Beijing last year, he asked the emperor to relocate some households to the northeast, and finally discussed it, and finally decided to move the four hundred and thirty-seven households of the four prefectures of Sihuzhou, Yanzhou, and Quzhou, and 1.73 million people to the Songhua River. β¦,
These people are the untouchables among the untouchables, and they are all subordinates of Zhang Shicheng, the leader of the rebel army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhang Shicheng was one of the best people in the late Yuan Dynasty, he was not treacherous, he could tolerate people, he reclaimed wasteland, built water conservancy, reduced taxes, and the ordinary people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, scholars and literati and even wealthy tycoons all supported him.
Because of this, Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang were trapped in the lonely city after losing the battle, although the food in the city was exhausted, a mouse could be sold for a high price of more than 100 yuan, and leather boots and saddles were cooked to satisfy hunger, but the people in the city were still willing to live and die with him. A lonely city, which lasted for ten months, had no grain and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and the army and the people were united and defended with all their might, causing heavy losses to Zhu Yuanzhang's army. After Zhu Yuanzhang broke the city, he angrily reduced all the soldiers and civilians in the city to untouchables.
It is precisely because they are untouchables among the untouchables that they have a very low recognition of the Ming Dynasty.
So even Zining chose them.
This matter is sponsored by the Ministry of Households, Lian Zining made a large amount of money down, coupled with the relationship of Dai Zhangpu, the officials of the Ministry of Household are also conscientious, since last year's matter was decided, the political envoy of Zhejiang Province and the subordinate prefectures and counties, made preparations, and then in the spring of this year, after the north was a little warmer, they began to move.
In any era, migration is a big move, these lowly families don't have much property, but they value their pots and pans very much, so they are naturally grinding and chirping. However, the local officials were very supportive of this matter - in accordance with Emperor Zhu's will, these lowly families were not allowed to plough the land, do business, or engage in any glamorous occupation, either as prostitutes and turtles, or to make a living in the countryside. For the local government, these undignitary households, who have a large number of people and have nothing serious to do, have naturally become a factor of instability. At this time, I used this excuse to move them all away, which is really unwanted.
With the rare and strong support of local officials, this work has been carried out smoothly, but there is still one thing to do - ancestor worship. The Chinese people take this kind of thing very seriously, and the officials are not easy to force, and it is still too late to calculate the days, so they have to wait for the Qingming Festival to let these lowly families sacrifice their ancestors before going on the road.
Naturally, it is impossible for all the 167 people allowed to go to Lian Zining together, if that is the case, the passing states and counties will not live, you must know that a large part of the food and accommodation of these untouchables during the migration process is to be solved by the local government. Therefore, it was divided into more than a dozen batches, a batch of 100,000 people, and the first batch was escorted by 500 soldiers led by Qi Zhao, a member of the household department who accompanied Lian Zining at the beginning.
It's just that the Zhejiang Political Envoy is too far away from the Songhua River! Panic is tens of thousands of miles, and it is nothing more than the end of the world to describe it. After Qingming, I set off, and now it is September, and it took five months to complete this section of the road and come to the bottom of the big city of Zhubang. But to the great city of Zhubang. There is no way to move forward, Wu Yijun has already sent someone to summon the news, and now Wu Yijun and the Jurchen Mongol coalition army are fighting a big war, and the Zhubang city is further north, it is not safe.
Therefore, these undignitaries have settled down in the great city of Zhubang, and it has been several days now.
On the wall of the great city of Zhubang, the prefect Zhang Xiju and a group of officials in the palace accompanied Qi Zhao to observe the situation in the shack area in the distance.
Although they are all five-grade officials. But the prefect of a border area and the Beijing official of a key department cannot be compared, so Zhang Xiju's attitude is very humble, half a body behind, and he bows slightly.
Qi Zhao looked at it for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at Zhang Xiju on the side: "The northeast of Rendu Dao is a wild place, and I only know it when I come here." The Northeast is so rich, all the way and needless to say, there is a great drought in the Central Plains this year. There is no harvest of grains, but outside this pass, the wind and rain are smooth, the crops are growing very well, and the grains are full, so that I, the official of the ministry, am very excited to see it! These untouchables, along the way, have never eaten a full meal, and the food allocated by the local government is only enough to boil a bowl of gruel to drink, and these hungry untouchables are like this. To tell the truth, even the official couldn't bear to see it. I didn't expect to come here, I don't need the government to distribute a grain of rice, I can live so nourishing just by myself, eating and drinking big fish and meat, according to my own officials. If it goes on like this, when Xi Shenwei arrives, they will be able to gain a few pounds. ββ¦,
Zhang Xi nodded and said with a smile: "There is a lot of water in the Northeast and a lot of lakes, which is drought, as long as you are diligent in your hands and feet, there will always be water to irrigate." Hehe, my lord, you did a good job on this errand, these households are fatter, and the uncle is also happy to see it. As you said, the Northeast is rich, but there are still too few people, you see, except for the east bank of the Songhua River, these dozens of miles, the rest of the place is dense forests and wilderness, and there is not even a single person. If more people are moved over and the land is cultivated, I don't know how much food will be produced. β
Qi Zhao quipped: "When the grain is produced, the official is going to come to be that wicked person and come here to collect taxes, and now the warehouse of the household department is very empty." β
He said something funny, the two looked at each other and laughed, and the other officials also joined in. But everyone didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of leaking out - Lian Zining's ambition is no secret here, but Qi Zhao has been here for all these days, and no one dares to secretly report the news. Lian Zining has a thousand soldiers stationed here, and MI6 spies are everywhere, supervising the every move of these officials at all times.
In the last two months, three officials have died 'accidentally'.
Zhang Meizhong, the official standing behind Zhang Xiju, had a flash of light in his eyes, and he firmly remembered this - the emptiness of the household.
After talking for a while, Zhang Xiju asked, "Lord Qi, do you want to send you some more manpower?" You brought 500 soldiers to escort you, can you make it? β
"Hey, no!" Qi Zhao waved his hand and said: "You are not an official of our household department, you don't understand this matter, we have never been escorted by Daming immigrants, it is just to make a show, to prevent the traitors in the households, but not for them to escape!" We have to check the road guide everywhere, they don't have a road guide, where can they escape? That's not an inch! What's more, the Northeast is so rich, much stronger than the place where they used to live, even if they hunt in the mountains and fish in the lake, they will not starve to death, so they will not escape! β
Zhang Xiju nodded: "Then the lower official will be relieved." β
He looked at the sky and said, "The hour is almost up, Lord Qi, the lower officials and others have prepared a meal in Linjiang Tower, let's go over?" β
Qi Zhao responded with a smile.
All the officials surrounded Zhang Xiju and Qi Zhao and left, but Zhang Meizhong stayed. Yesterday there was news from a flying horseman, and now the convoy of an adult's house should arrive, and he has to meet it.
A dozen men walked out of the shack area and walked towards the woods on the side, compared with the other untouchables, they were much stronger, their bodies were very strong, their bodies were full of strong tendons, their expressions were fierce, their eyes were sharp, and they knew at a glance that they were not easy to mess with. They were also dressed in tatters, and each of them carried a wooden stick in his hand. As he walked, he looked around, but faintly hugged the person in the middle.
The man was in his thirties, with a scorched yellow complexion, and looked sickly and wilted. The body is also quite thin, but those eyes, between opening and closing, are shining, obviously very difficult to mess with.
As they walked along, they met other untouchables, all of whom saluted respectfully, with no fear on their faces. And most of them are respectful, and it can be seen that these people have no low prestige among the untouchables.
Five or six soldiers came over to him, disheveled, and hung up, not like soldiers, but with a ruffian face. The clothes on his body were half-open, revealing a fat body. Some of them were still scooping roasted golden chicken thighs and lamb legs in their hands, and several people hooked their shoulders and walked over with a smile.
More than a dozen men looked at each other. There was a flash of resentment in his eyes, these soldiers were the soldiers who escorted them to the northeast, they were seconded by Qi Zhao from the Beijing camp, and the good and bad in the Beijing camp were also uneven, and the quality of the people who could be seconded by him can be imagined. Along the way, these soldiers did all kinds of evil, raped and plundered, and they didn't know how many things they robbed. How many people's daughters have been harmed, and these households have been bullied very badly. β¦,
But as a lowly family, they have known their lowly identity since they were born, and they are also used to being bullied, and they also know that no official will make decisions for themselves, so they can only endure it silently.
The charred man made a gesture. They all got out of the way, and the soldiers didn't even look at them, and swaggered past them.
Not far in front is a shack, a stove fire was built at the door, the fire was booming, and there was a faint aroma in the cauldron, there should be a fat chicken squatting inside, and the fire was almost there. The fragrance is mouth-watering. A woman crouched in front of the stove and was adding firewood to it, her back to the crowd, and the soldiers couldn't see her face, but her upturned ass made them move their index fingers.
"How many brothers? Go to Le Heh? One of the soldiers laughed.
"Joy, joy!" A few soldiers laughed and walked towards the hut.
When the woman heard the sound, she turned around, and when she saw them, she immediately showed a look of horror and despair on her face, and her legs went limp, and she fell to the ground, and looked at them, and moved back little by little.
The soldiers, who had already grown impatient, pounced on her like wolves and tigers, and grabbed the woman and walked towards the house, where one of the soldiers was smiling and groping at the woman's crotch, and the woman let out a terrified scream. A ragged, forty-year-old man pushed open the door and said, "What's wrong......
Before the words fell, several soldiers jumped up and punched and kicked, and the man was beaten and cried and begged for mercy, and after beating for a while, he finally had enough fights, and a few soldiers stopped. At this time, the man was already lying on the ground and couldn't get up, not knowing whether he was injured or scared, and he was trembling.
After a few soldiers laughed for a while, they carried the woman into the house, and the woman struggled and let out a series of screams.
The sound of torn clothes, the lewd laughter of the soldiers, and then the thick gasps of the men, the moans and cries of the women in pain, spread far and wide.
There were a lot of shacks around, but none of those people cared about them, but they quickly retreated back into their shacks, for fear of affecting themselves. There are also many people who secretly pray, let these Qiu Ba exert enough strength on that woman, and don't come to harm us.
The dozen or so men stared at the shack deadly, as if there was fire in their eyes, and a few young people were already clenched into fists, and their muscles were tense, and they were about to rush out like that.
The charred man said lightly: "Let's go!" β
"Let's go!?" A young man pointed to the shack and hurriedly said, "Brother Tiger, let's just leave?" β
"What else?" Brother Tiger said coldly: "Go up and fight hard now?" We can kill them, but we're all exposed, is it a big deal or a woman? If you delay a major event, you are a sinner, even if you die, you will be burned by the fire of the red lotus karma for a hundred years, and you will suffer a lot! Even if you die, you won't be in peace! β
As soon as he said this, several people showed fear on their faces, Brother Hu took the lead, and the rest of these people glanced at each other, and they all left.
The man's lewd laughter continued, but the woman's voice was so faint that it was almost gone.
After a full hour, several of the soldiers who had finished venting came out of the shack with their pants in their hands, and the man was still curled up on the mud outside, shivering. A soldier kicked him in the stomach and scolded, "Ten grandsons! β
A sharp pain hit, the man groaned in pain, rolled around in place holding his stomach, and several soldiers laughed. The man watched the soldiers walk away, and with a hint of resentment in his eyes, he suddenly turned over and strode into the house.
In a few moments, there was a sound of punching and kicking, the cries of women begging for mercy, and the muffled vicious cursing of men. After a while, the cursing, screaming, and begging for mercy in the room gradually subsided, and the man seemed to be tired, leaning against the wall and panting for breath.
The woman was beaten first and then by her husband, and was already inhuman, and her white skin was covered with scars.
She suddenly let out a high-pitched laugh, and the laughter was so poignant that it was creepy to hear.
She was unclothed, and ran out of the shack naked, ran to a river, and jumped without stopping, and the whole person was instantly submerged by the swirling rushing river. (To be continued.)
