Chapter 196: Suffering from Anxiety instead of Poverty

A group of people and horses walked on the vast North China Plain, these people and horses were all sturdy men, all of them were dressed in coarse cloth robes, but they carried spears and firearms, and the evil spirit could be said to be unapproachable. They marched in a general way, and the march seemed disorderly, but in fact they were all carried out in the form of a column that drew the line, and when they encountered the enemy in the field, they could be hooked in a moment to form a circle that was conducive to defense. Between the general Gao Shiyin and the general Wu Zhengchun, there was a large area of dense carriages and horses, which were all captured by the Korean and North Korean military umbrellas after they left Baoanzhou.

Although the baggage team and artillery team in the army were formed, it was naturally impossible to pull out the artillery team when they went out to suppress bandits. As for the 1,000-general baggage team in the ROK and DPRK armies, although a total of 136 people from 100 to 136 people accompanied the army, the mountain road from Baoan Prefecture to Yizhou was rugged, and it was difficult for either a wheelbarrow or a horse-drawn carriage to walk.

Therefore, when Han Chao came out, he only brought some mules and horses to transport some materials in the army, but he did not expect that after he went back, he was a mighty hundred cars and horses, which showed the rich harvest. With chariots and horses, not to mention the food and grass materials in the army, even the armor of the sergeants, they were all put on the chariots and horses to ambush.

These chariots and horses were loaded with all kinds of grain and rice, which were transported by Gao Zhong's soldiers, and some homeless young people who accompanied the army were also dispatched to help. Behind the carriages and horses, thousands of homeless people were densely packed

Carrying his humble belongings, dragging his family with his mouth, he followed the security sergeant with hope. In the end, it was Wu Zhengchun who led himself to postpone the general brother.

Although there was a lot of money, grain, and rice, the group came from Zanhuang County, but the journey was smooth. Looking at the fierce appearance of this group of people and horses, no bandit horse thief dared to fight their idea. It is that some officers and soldiers who are blinded want to rob the road, and they don't say a word, they will be killed first. After killing several groups of people, no one dared to attack Han Chao and others.

Han Chao rode on a horse, looked around, the endless flat and dry yellow earth, it was difficult to see trees, and after the people and horses, the dust raised was all over the sky. Although the land is vast, there are not many people along the way, and Han Dynasty saw that many small villages were abandoned.

Natural disasters**, coupled with the entry of Qing soldiers in Chongzhen's nine years, the places near Gyeonggi were tragically looted, and they did not recover for a long time. Baoding Mansion and Kuiding Mansion have been in a series of droughts, the grass and trees everywhere are scorched, the mountain trees seen are all white-flowered, the fluffy grass has been eaten up, the bark has been eaten up, and even the grass roots have been dug up.

Everywhere there were dead bodies of homeless people starving, and even scrapers on the side of the road were seen like slaughtering pigs and dogs.

Seeing this, Han Chao couldn't help but clench his fists tightly and ordered the corpses to be collected and buried for them.

At this time, a personal guard came to tell him that there were two living mouths in the village, and when Han Chao went to look, he saw two thin children lying on a female corpse crying.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the two children did not encounter the perpetrators of the horse thief because they hid well, and this woman may have been insulted by the horse thief, plus there was no hope in life, and there was no courage to live, so she committed suicide, leaving behind two poor children.

The two children, a boy and a girl, seemed to be two sisters and brothers, and their bodies were extremely dirty, and Han Chao ordered the burial of the female corpses, and took in the two children, giving them water and dry food. Seeing them gobbling up, Han Chao let out a long sigh and ordered the sergeants to take a short rest.

Jin Pei, as well as the general Huang Yujin, Gao Shiyin, and Wu Zhengchun all gathered around Han Chao. Huang Yujin seemed to walk around the village, and he said: "Look at this village, there is a river and land, a good village, why is it abandoned?" Around Xingtang County, there are many such Zhuangzi. ”

Gao Shiyin scolded: "The local officials will have a rice bucket, such a rich place, if the garrison lord comes to govern, it will definitely become another security state." ”

Everyone nodded.

Han Chao said: "Since we left Baozhou, it has been like this everywhere. ”

He said: "I have heard adults say that the things in the world are nothing more than not suffering from widowhood but suffering from inequality."

He said: "If you don't suffer from inequality, the world will be in chaos." When the world is in chaos, there is nowhere to be a paradise, and it is impossible for the people to want to live a hard life. In the chaos of war, how can the common people farm with peace of mind? No matter how good the Zhuangzi is, no matter how good the field, it will be abandoned. ”

Gao Shiyin's face was shaking, and he shouted loudly: "With the skills of our heroes in Baozhou, we only need to set up a few teams of soldiers and horses in Xingtang County, and within a few months, the territory will be peaceful and peaceful, and the people will be able to farm with peace of mind." He muttered, "It's a pity."

film S1, he raised his voice again and said: "The adult should be promoted quickly, spread his benevolence and righteousness to more places, so that more people can live a peaceful and happy life."

Han Chao and others glanced at each other, they were all tacit, and everyone regretted that this Zhending Mansion and Baoding Mansion were really far away from Baozhou.

A few people were discussing, but they saw that a few more people in the ministry were rushing to the end of the night, and several people had a look of excitement on their faces, and loudly reported to Han Chao, saying that it was near Zhengjiazhuang, and there was a large number of displaced people, and there might be nearly 10,000 people. After a few nights of listening, these homeless people have to go to Quyang, Tang County, and further afield to Baoding Mansion.

Gao Shiyin and the others were all excited, the opportunity was rare, so many displaced people, not they could be encountered casually, but the number of the other party was a little more. Nearly 10,000 displaced people don't know if their group can bear it.

Huang Yujin and the others also looked at Han Chao, their eyes full of eagerness: "My lord, these homeless people will accept it or not?"

Han Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Collect, with such a large population, move them to Baoanzhou, you can train thousands of strong troops." As adults say, if there is a killing, don't let it go. ”

It is often said that there are more than 100,000 people, and there is no boundary, when Han Chao and others rushed to Zhengjiazhuang, they saw that the black pressure was full of displaced people, dragging their families and carrying their own simple luggage. A large number of those who were able to escape the famine were still young and strong, the old and weak, women, girls and children, and a considerable number of them had already died on the way to escape the famine.

Zhengjiazhuang is a large village in Xingtang County, with a high and thick outer wall, but so many homeless people gathered outside the village, they also closed the door of the village early, and all the young and strong Zhuang Ding were on the village wall to guard and defend. In case these homeless people rush in, their Zhuangzi will be as clean as a locust sweeping, and even if these homeless people leave, the surviving villagers will probably join the team of fleeing the famine. $
