"Hu Quan, twenty-four years old, Qingzhou farmer, wife He, son Hu Chong, six years old this year......"

A Daishan military scribe splashed ink and filled in the information of the homeless person in front of him in the book. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Another scribe beside him wrote the same message on a palm-sized piece of brown paper, and when he was done, he handed it to the homeless man in front of him.

"Take this note, it's your proof of boarding. You can go back and pack up and board the boat tomorrow morning to go to Daishan. ”

The homeless man named Hu Quan carefully took the note, looked at it in his hand for a while, then folded it and carefully hid it in his arms.

For each of the exiles who were recruited, the scribe in charge of the recruitment would count their information in detail and send it to those who boarded the ship. Only those who have the voucher can get on the boat and go to Daishan.

The soup soup is still going on over there, and for these homeless people who live on the bark of wild vegetables, the temptation of rice porridge mixed with fish and meat is too great.

After drinking the porridge in the bowl, many people lined up again, hoping to have another bowl or bring the porridge to their relatives who were still in the mountains.

"General Li would like to go to Daishan with me?" Looking at the chaotic scene, Ren Siqi asked Li Shiyuan beside him with a smile. For the "Qingzhou General" in front of him, Ren Siqi still appreciates it very much.

was able to organize more than 10,000 rabbles and defeat the elite breaking army, which shows that he is still capable. What makes Ren Siqi even more appreciative is that this person still has a good heart, whether it is the officials and soldiers in this year, or the thieves, most of them regard the people as pigs and sheep and wantonly rob the target.

And Li Shiyuan couldn't bear to see the homeless people suffering, and came to pray for Ren Siqi's help, which shows that he still has a heart for the people.

"Alas, General, please forgive me!" Li Shiyuan pondered for a while, and said apologetically: "I can't leave this land. Li Zicheng was driven out of Beijing, and most of Shandong was recovered, and it was when he was serving the country. For Li Shiyuan now, Shandong is his hometown and a stage for him to display his talents. He is now a "Qingzhou general", and in the future, the imperial court will regain control of Shandong, and it is possible to be a deputy general or even a general soldier with his talents, how can he go to the south to join a small coastal defense guerrilla!

Ren Siqi could naturally guess Li Shiyuan's thoughts, so he no longer persuaded him. But I felt the need to remind the person in front of me who I admired.

"What does General Li think will be the situation in the north in the future?" Ren Siqi asked.

"The situation is very good," Li Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The thieves have been driven to Shanxi, and most of Shandong and Hebei have also recovered, and the Holy Son of Heaven Nanjing has succeeded to the throne, and the Ming Dynasty is in good faith!" ”

Li Shiyuan said, his face shining with excitement.

"General Li should not be too optimistic," Ren Siqi shook his head: "The situation in the north is already very serious. The thieves were driven away, but a stronger enemy came. ”

"Do you mean Qing Bing? Pingxi Bo Wu Sangui borrowed the captives to suppress the thieves, and now that the thieves have been driven away, the Qing soldiers will retreat outside the gate, right? The more Li Shiyuan spoke, the quieter his voice became, because he knew that it was impossible.

"The brutality of the Tartars is far better than that of the thief. How could they be so kind and help Daming drive away the thieves, they are thinking about our Han people. Ren Siqi sighed.

"Maybe in the near future, they will send troops south to Shandong, I wonder what will happen to General Li at that time?"

"Me? Of course, I fought with the Tartars to the end to defend my Ming Dynasty. Li Shiyuan said angrily.

Ren Siqi nodded and stopped talking. He had already reminded him that when the Qing soldiers went south, it would be up to him whether they would fight or surrender.

In Ren Siqi's impression, after the Qing soldiers went south, all parts of the north were basically looking at the wind and surrendering, except for the Shun army, which was still resisting, the original Ming official army basically rarely resisted.

In the four towns of Jiangbei where the Hongguang court relied on the pillars, Gao Jie died early, except for Huang Degong's bloody martyrdom abroad, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo and others all looked to the wind. The Hongguang Imperial Court still nominally had hundreds of thousands of troops, but few dared to resist.

Li Shiyuan in front of him was impassioned, and he didn't know what choice he would make?

"General Ren, I have a request." Li Shiyuan pondered for a while, and suddenly said to Ren Siqi.

"General, please speak!" Ren Siqi was stunned for a moment.

"I have a son named Li Ding, and I want him to follow the general to Jiangnan."

Is this Tuogu? Maybe Li Shiyuan had realized the danger in the future, so he planned to send his son to the relatively safe south, Ren Siqi thought to himself.

Li Shiyuan's son Li Ding, sixteen years old, was very unhappy when he learned that his father let him go to the south, and after being scolded by Li Shiyuan, he agreed aggrievedly.

The recruitment of displaced people is proceeding in an orderly manner. Dozens of cauldrons on the seashore boiled pot after pot of rice porridge, and thousands of displaced people lined up to eat porridge.

Within a day, more than 4,000 homeless people from thousands of households had signed up, and they were all told to take a boat to Daishan the next day.

More than 20 sailing boats, although they were all empty, could carry a few thousand people at most, and it was already very crowded. Fortunately, it is an offshore voyage, and it does not take much time, so it can be accommodated.

After learning that the number of recruits had reached the limit of the ship's capacity, Ren Siqi decisively ordered the recruitment to be stopped. However, there were still many homeless people crying and praying for the Daishan army to accept them. Ren Siqi assured them that the fleet would come again, let them wait quietly nearby, and at most in January, the fleet of the Daishan Army would come to Jiaozhou Bay again.

The fleet can only bring back a few thousand people at a time, and there are only more than a thousand strong men among them, which of course cannot meet Ren Siqi's requirements. In Ren Siqi's plan, at least 10,000 strong men should be recruited, so that an army of 10,000 people can be formed.

As the soup kitchen ended, many of the displaced people dispersed, but those who had been recruited remained and camped by the sea, waiting to board the boat the next day.

Early the next morning, the red sun rose from the east and shone on the undulating sea, reflecting thousands of golden lights.

A Daishan military sailing ship approached the dock in the golden light, and the long planks connected the ship to the dock.

Under the organization of the soldiers of the Daishan Army, the recruited displaced people lined up in a long queue and stepped on the wooden planks to get on the boat.

A sailboat full of homeless people left the dock, and a second approached.

"General Li, the separation is imminent, if you have any other requirements, just mention it, I will definitely help if I can help." On the side of the wharf, Ren Siqi said to Li Shiyuan, who came to see him off.

"There is still some grain left in the 1,000 stone of grain that **** helped a few days ago," Li Shiyuan shook his head and said: "I have no other requirements, I just hope that you can treat you folks well!" ”

"General Li, don't worry, since they followed me to Daishan, they will be my relatives in the future!"

"Ah Ding, follow General Ren, you will have to listen to the general in the future." Li Shiyuan touched his son's head dotingly and urged.

The young man looked back at his father step by step, and reluctantly walked towards the plank.

Under the golden light, the fleet spread all its sails and slowly sailed towards the depths of the sea in the sun. (To be continued.) )
