Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Green forest friends, caravan guys, the news was inadvertently leaked, and within a few days, the news of the acceptance of the Han people by the Tumut Department spread all over the border towns.
For the homeless people who are struggling in despair, every piece of hopeful news spreads quickly, but very few people actually leave the north immediately. The grassland is too unfamiliar to most Han people, and in the hearts of many homeless people in the mainland, there is not much difference between going north into the grassland and killing officials and rebelling, it is to gamble on fate.
Only those who are familiar with the grasslands understand that this is a good road. Ling Zhai Zhe didn't expect that the first to flee was the soldiers of the Ming Army.
The Ming Dynasty's guard system has long existed in name only, and the soldiers never participate in training, and they are busy cultivating in the military camp all day long, and the harvest only goes to the officials, not even the tenants. If the laborers do not get benefits, they do not bother to maintain them, and the fertile land of the original military camp is slowly deserted, and the water conservancy is not repaired. The military salary was nowhere to be seen, the harvest was not settled, the house was sold out and the children were sold, and the soldiers of the Chinese army cantonment guard station fled with their families after hearing the news.
The sergeant of the guard station fled north and caused a panic in the border town of Datong. This incident was not unborn before, but in recent years, the grassland has been chaotic, and few people dare to flee north, this time the incident was sudden, and the scale was large, and someone immediately reported it to Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda.
Zhang Zongheng's mind was all on the thieves in Shanxi, and he only approved the strict investigation and secret visits of the guards, and strictly forbade the sergeants to flee to the outside of the fortress, but this could be stopped by a ban.
Meng Kang's cavalry had been patrolling the border with Lingle and Liangcheng, and as soon as the Han Chinese appeared, they would lead them to Lao Yashan. Ten days later, the number of displaced people increased but it was still dominated by refugees from Datong Town, but the news has spread farther and farther.
Midsummer.
The sun scorched the earth like a fireball.
The Han people were in groups of three or five to support each other and walked towards the killing of Hukou, and more and more Han people in the north went out of the jam, and many people who were watching could not help but be agitated by people with ulterior motives. Geng Guang spent a lot of money to mobilize his friends in Lvlin to help him try his best to agitate in Datong Mansion and even Shanxi, and secretly sent people to guide him along the way in Youyu County, and kept bringing the displaced people out of the Saiwai.
As long as the Hu Pass is out of the killing pass, the Han cavalry that shuttles on the road will immediately take over and guide the Han people to the north of Lao Ya Mountain. In July and August, more than 10,000 Han Chinese entered the grassland, and although the herdsmen of the Tumut tribe also adopted some people in the border areas, the vast majority of the Han people still fell into the hands of the Han people.
Bao Guang and four people had just escaped from Shanxi and entered Datong Mansion, and he was a native of Puzhou, Shanxi. In May, Baojiazhuang was attacked by the Chaotian King of the Wandering Army, all the women were taken captive, and most of the men died under the sword of the Wandering Army. Bao Guang has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, killing three or four thieves in a row and escaping from the siege with four brothers in the clan.
The southern part of Shanxi has completely become the world of the exile army, and the large and small villages either spend money to buy peace from the thieves, or they are attacked in turn. The county town closed its gates and did not dare to accept the refugees who were wandering outside, and the government was worried that the thieves would flee into the county town as an internal response.
The road to the south was blocked by the Yellow River, and to the west was Shaanxi Province, which had been plagued by drought for many years, and most of the refugees wanted to flee east to Beijing.
Since Chongzhen's accession to the throne, the governor of Shanxi has become the most dangerous profession in the Ming Dynasty. In the second year, Geng Ruqi led 5,000 troops into King Qinjing in response to the change of his own Si, and was arrested and beheaded by the emperor because of the lack of food and salary in the imperial court. For three years, Xian Kejin took office for two months, and was dismissed because the Shaanxi Wandering Army entered the Jin Dynasty and washed Dingxiang County, and then Song Tongyin was dismissed from his post because the Wandering Army broke through Puzhou County last year. The new governor Xu Dingchen was unable to suppress the bandits at this time, and he did not dare to let the 100,000 refugees from the Jin land flee into Beijing, so he joined forces with Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, to seal the road to the east. Refugees from their homes destroyed by thieves

There are only two options, either from the thief or north to Datong.
Shanxi refugees poured into Datong like locusts, and Governor Zhang Tinggong tried his best to relieve them, but in the end, it was difficult for Qiao women to cook without rice. Unable to deal with it, he had to obey Zhang Zongheng's orders, tightly block the road for refugees to enter Xuanfu Jingshi, and let those refugees fend for themselves in Datong.
Bao Guang and the four of them were mixed among the refugees, they had been hungry for two days, and they were surrounded by hungry green eyes, and many refugees could not bear the pain of hunger, so they only picked leaves and dug up the soil to satisfy their hunger. Occasionally, corpses lying on the ground can be seen on the side of the road, some of them have lost their breath, and some of them still have body temperatures. Wild dogs and wolves follow each other all the way, looking for an opportunity to bite the refugees who crouch on the side of the road and can no longer get up.
"I'm dying, I knew I might as well join the thieves!" One of the clansmen muttered quietly.
Bao Guang snorted heavily, "Have you forgotten whose hands all the brothers in the village died?" Take refuge in them, and you dare to open your mouth even if you lose. ā
"Did we follow you out to starve to death here?" People in despair are full of resentment.
Bao Guang couldn't hold back any longer, spit a mouthful of phlegm on his face, and said, "If you say such a thing, I wouldn't have saved you if I knew it." ā
The man silently wiped the saliva from his face, sighed in a low voice, and said, "They are all dying people, and I will no longer fight with you." ā
"It's better to gather these brothers to grab a stockade, and they will die horizontally and vertically!" Someone proposed to build yƬ.
Bao Guang looked around and shook his head and said: "Relying on these people, it is difficult for the hungry to even get up, and they still want to break through the village, but they are just looking for death." ā
"If only I could catch a wild dog."
The clansmen's Jian Yiyi reminded Bao Guang that a few wild dogs were tearing a corpse in the distance, and he thought of an idea and said, "I'll go and play dead, lure the wild dogs over, and see if I can catch one, or I'm really going to die here." ā
The brothers looked at each other, feeling unlikely, but there was no way out.
Bao Guang put the waist knife in his hand, lay on the hot dry ground, and tried to stay awake, but I don't know how much time passed, hunger made me dizzy, and there was no one

53EA wild dogs came to patronize. There are too many carcasses on the side of the road, and wild dogs have a limited amount of food.
In a trance, he felt as if he was floating in the air, Bao Guang was worried that he would never be able to get up again if he continued to lie down, so he struggled to turn over and walked back to the willow tree where his people leaned.
On the way, he saw a man lying on the dead grass on the side of the road, his eyes blank.
His eyes made contact, and Bao Guang thought that in a few days, he would be no different from him, and he was shrouded in fear.
"I don't want to die!" Bao Guang shouted angrily from the bottom of his heart.
Under the willow tree, no one greeted him, it was a waste of body. The sun slowly went west, and several people leaned together.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to starve!"
Bao Guang looked up at the starry sky, and an evil thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Have you ever eaten human flesh?" His voice was weak.
The brothers looked at him as if they were looking at a stranger, and they all moved their bodies away from him.
"Do you dare to eat it?" Bao Guang gritted his teeth.
"What do you want to do?" The brother's teeth were chattering.
Bao Guang slowly propped up his body and tried his best to pick up the steel knife in his hand. "Come with me if you want to live."
The four of them slowly moved their bodies to the west in the night, and Bao Guang secretly groped his memory to the position where he saw the dying man lying a few hours ago. The four of them surrounded him, and Bao Guang gently rubbed his skinny skin, feeling his body tremble like chaff.
"You, what are you going to do!" The shouting was hoarse.
"You are going to die, the Buddha has clouds, and saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. If you sacrifice your life to save the four of us today, you will surely be able to achieve positive results in the next life. Bao Guang's words sounded like a dream.
The person under him trembled even more, and opened his mouth to say, "Ah! Ahh
Bao Guang closed his eyes, and the steel knife in his hand slashed down hard, and the warm blood remained on his hands, making his whole body feel like he was soaked in sticky soy sauce.
"Give him a good time!" The brother next to him reminded him in a whisper, and finally pulled Bao Guang back from a confused state.
With a fierce knife, he chopped off the head of the man on the ground from the neck, blood splattered everywhere, and in the black night, nothing could be seen, and the liquid sprayed on his body slowly cooled.
The sound of rustling sounded for nearly two hours, and in the darkness there was no difference between a few people and a wild dog.
The night passed quietly, and when the sky was white, the five men dug a deep pit for the remaining stumps and severed arms.
"Although we have done a great crime to you, we have also collected your corpse, and the five of us swear here, if we can escape with our lives this time, he will not forget to pay tribute to you on the Qingming Festival every year." Several people kowtowed heavily in front of the grave, Bao Guang wiped the blood stains on the steel knife, and the group continued to the north.
On the main road from Datong Mansion to Youyu County, the displaced people were surging, Bao Guang and others crowded among them, and found a young man and asked: "Little brother, have you been to the grassland?" ā
The man glanced at him and shook his head slightly.
"Is the Turkite news credible?"
"I don't know!" The man walked quickly.
Bao Guang was a little annoyed, rushed over and grabbed his shoulder, and said, "Ask you, what are you running?" "His temper has gotten a lot worse lately.
"I don't know, didn't you hear clearly? If you have another choice, don't go to the prairie, and neither do I. ā
There are more and more people who kill each other among the homeless, and some even openly kill people and then clean them up and sell them. Many people will eat the second time when they can eat it for the first time, but since Bao Guang had a full meal that night when he was dying, he vowed to starve to death rather than try the taste of human flesh.
