Chapter Ninety-Seven: Shock

Chongzhen for three years, the third day of the first month. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Early in the morning, Wu Fanhui went out of the city, but they did not go directly to Shilipu, but waited outside the south gate, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin didn't know what was going on, although it was strange, but they still waited honestly by their side, all three of them rode war horses, no one got off the horse, Wu Fanhui's eyes have always looked at the official road.

The Spring Festival in Mizhi County is not lively at all, Wu Fanhui has lived since he was a child in Ma'anshan Village, which has already been ten rooms and nine empty, most of the Zhuang households have joined the ranks of the displaced people, I don't know what to do, Wu Fanhui is busy with the county test, the government test and the hospital test, and when he comes back from Xi'an Fucheng and goes to Ma'anshan Village again, he can't believe his eyes at all, just over a year, Ma'anshan Village has seen no one, Wu Fanhui tried to search for his childhood partner from his memory, but he couldn't remember it.

The cultivated land is abandoned, no one cultivates, and there is no harvest in the past few years, who will still farm.

Although Wu Fanhui has almost no feelings for Ma'anshan Village, he is still a little sad when such a situation occurs.

Wang Zhengui, the former elder of Ma'anshan Village, was beheaded by the government to show the public, and Wu Qingxiong, the original Lizheng, was finally exiled to Yunnan, which was at this time, Ma'anshan Village quickly began to decline, and after many people starved to death in the village, more and more Zhuang families joined the ranks of the displaced people in order to survive.

It wasn't until he heard the patriarch Wu Mianqing talk about the Wu family in Ma'anshan Village, Wu Fanhui knew that the Wu family in Ma'anshan Village was also a member of the Wu family, but that was a long time ago, when there were rebels in the family and were driven to Ma'anshan Village, so the Wu family also appeared in Ma'anshan Village, because it is not very far from the county seat, so the generations have not been chaotic, but the ancestors once swore that the children and grandchildren of the Wu family are not allowed to recognize the Wu family in Ma'anshan Village as their own family.

Therefore, if there is a famine among the same clan surnamed Wu in Ma'anshan Village, the Wu family will not lend a hand.

Wu Fanhui is very angry about such a thing, so many years have passed, and he still holds on to the words of his ancestors, which is equivalent to a living person being suffocated to death by urine, they are all members of the Wu family, why can't they come to the rescue.

Two small black dots appeared on the official road, Wu Fanhui looked at them very carefully, and when these two small black dots gradually increased, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Two people with fluffy hair and vegetable faces came to Wu Fanhui and knelt down.

"Big brother, we have a New Year's greeting for you."

One of them spoke with a cry.

Wu Fanhui had already dismounted and quickly stepped forward to help the two of them.

"Wang Baofu, Wang Decai, get up."

When the two stood up, Wu Fanhui spoke again.

"Go to Shilipu, Wang Baofu, Wang Decai, can you two still support it."

Shilipu, Wu Fanhui's expression was extremely serious, he looked at Wang Baofu and Wang Decai gobbling up, and did not speak, Li Yong, Ma Jigang, Sun Kailin, Liu Fangheng and Dai Nengxiang looked at the two people who were eating, and they also did not speak, from the shabby clothes on the two of them, the color can be seen clearly, and it can be known that the two are court sergeants.

Finally, when Wang Baofu and Wang Decai slowed down to eat, it seemed that the two of them were indeed hungry.

"Wang Baofu, Wang Decai, what happened to you, what's wrong with Wu Guigui, tell me in detail."

When Wang Baofu stood up, he couldn't help but hiccup.

"Big brother, precious brother was captured by the rogue."

"Rogues, what rogues."

"The chief soldier accepts those mobs as rogues, and the brothers in the army call them that."

Wu Fanhui nodded, he remembered that in the fourth year of Chongzhen, after the peasant rebel army left Shaanxi and entered Shanxi, the imperial court began to call it Liukou, which turned out to be a record in the history books, and the title Liukou appeared at the end of Chongzhen's second year.

"We, our brothers, are all scattered."

Wang Decai also stood up, and the posture of the two of them could be seen that they had stayed in the army.

"Last year, Brother Precious took us to Gansu, and soon entered the barracks, and in May, Brother Precious fought bravely, and was promoted to the team, we fought with Liukou several times, but Brother Precious and we felt that our opponent seemed to be homeless, and when they fought, they knew how to flee."

"In early November, we suddenly received an order, saying that we were going to the capital to protect the emperor, after the Jin Tartars besieged the capital, we set off from Gansu, when we went to Jin County, the brothers couldn't help it, not to say that they couldn't eat, but also urged to hurry, when the brothers were in the barracks, they couldn't get military salaries, and hunger was a common thing, Wang Decai and I spent more than half a year in the barracks, that is, we received two military salaries, only a few dollars of silver once, this time we went to the capital to protect the emperor, everyone thought that the emperor must have taken out the money and grain, Who knows it's not like that at all. ”

"When I was in Jin County, all the brothers ran away, no one listened to the general soldier, the precious brother was helpless, and also ran away with us, we originally thought, go back to Gansu to see, if the situation is not good, then go home, who knows that when I met the Liukou, when I was fighting, Wang Decai and I escaped, and the precious brother was gone."

。。。

Wang Baofu is still good at speaking, although he has no knowledge, he can explain things clearly and clearly.

"Where did you meet the rogue, and where did you come back?"

Wang Baofu's face was a little dazed, he was not familiar with the terrain, and he didn't know what the place was, so he knew to follow the official road.

Wu Fanhui looked at Wang Baofu and Wang Decai's blank eyes, sighed, and took out a simple map.

This map was drawn by himself, covering almost the whole province of Shaanxi, as for the place names of some places, it was added by Li Yong and others, of course, Wu Fanhui did not have such a good memory, he also occasionally saw a map of the whole province in the household of the county government, similar to a fish scale map or the like, and felt very important, so he drew it with his memory.

Wu Fanhui's hand pointed to two places in Gansu, Guyuan Prefecture and Pingliang Prefecture.

"Is the place where you are stationed in Guyuan Prefecture or Pingliang Mansion, what is the name of the guard post you are stationed in, and what is the name of your chief soldier."

"The place where we are stationed is Ganzhou, Lord Yang, the chief soldier, we don't know what the name is."

Wu Fanhui's mind popped up the name Yang Jiamo, the general soldier of Gansu, in November of the second year of Chongzhen, under the order of Yang He, the governor of the three sides, led the army to the capital Qinwang, but the sergeant arrived in Jinxian County, Shandong Province mutinied, all fled, and Yang Jiamo did not know what to do.

Maybe he remembered something, Wang Baofu added.

"The place where the chief soldier took us to be stationed has changed many times, and the last place where we were stationed has a name that I remember, called Stagecoach Pass."

"Young master, the stagecoach is near the city of Qingyang Mansion."

Li Yong's addition made Wu Fanhui nod slightly, it seems that Yang Jiamo led the sergeant from Qingyang Mansion to the capital, there is one thing he must figure out, that is, where did Wang Baofu and Wang Decai come back, this information is very important, so that Wu Fanhui can know the situation outside.

"Wang Baofu, Wang Decai, you came back from the north, or from the south."

"I came back from the north, I remember some places in Jiazhou, by the way, when Brother Precious was with us, he once asked for directions, and we passed through a place called Hequ."

This time, without Li Yong opening his mouth, Wu Fanhui also knew the route of Wang Baofu and the others to come back, from the meanders of Shanxi to Fugu under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture, through Shenmu, Jiazhou, and back to Mizhi County, it is no wonder that they will meet Liukou, Fugu and Shenmu and other places, which are the most active places for Liukou.

"Tell me about what you've seen along the way."

"I—We knew to run for our lives, and we didn't pay attention to anything else."

Wu Fanhui sighed again, this is the evil consequence of having no culture, but he will not give up easily.

"You have walked long from the place called the meander, and you have met the Liukou."

"I remember, it seems that it took less than ten days, it should be about five days, we met the rogues on the official road, there were many of them, and the precious brother also brought dozens of brothers, and they were scattered at once, and we saw several brothers killed with our own eyes."

"Did you meet the rogues after that?"

"No, if we run into a rogue again, we won't be able to come back."

"Are there a lot of pedestrians on the official road, I mean there are a lot of homeless people?"

"It's not a lot, we also met some homeless people, I heard them say that they have food to eat and won't starve to death, we want to come back to pay New Year's greetings to our eldest brother, and we won't go to Liukou."

"How long did you go back to Mizhi County after you were scattered by the rogues?"

"After walking for more than 20 days, Wang Decai and I went to the village to take a look, and we couldn't see anyone, it was completely different from before, we slept in the village yesterday."

"After being swept away by the rogues, didn't you hear any rogues when you walked back?"

"I've heard it, it's all said by those homeless people, and they don't know it, maybe it's nonsense."

Wu Fanhui has been staring at the map, looking at Fugu, Shenmu and Jiazhou and other places, although Luochuan, Yichuan and even Sanshui and Baishui and other places, there are Liukou appeared, but the most active places of Liukou are still in Fugu and Shenmu, Chongzhen at the end of March of the third year, Shaanxi Liukou entered Shanxi from Shenmu, and greater fluctuations appeared, since then, Shaanxi, Shanxi-, Henan and even Huguang and other places, all appeared Liukou, and the imperial court was forced to fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.

Although Wang Baofu's situation is not very detailed, through these few words, Wu Fanhui has captured a lot of information, combined with the historical knowledge in his mind, and has a general judgment of the situation in the north.

The historical records of the Liukou are basically correct, which provides a basis for Wu Fanhui to make accurate judgments and make up for the lack of information.

Maybe this trip will become interesting,
