The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 247 Just Not To The Sad Place

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhun's wife cried a few times when she saw her husband, and after handing over her nine-year-old son Gu Jixiang to Gu Zhun, she resolutely pierced her chest with a sharp boning knife.

Gu Zhun was frightened out of his wits. Seeing the knife stabbed deeply in his wife's chest but did not dare to pull it out, he burst into tears, and immediately a soldier from the "Red Banner Army" found out and called the medical soldiers.

Huang Han happened to be comforting the rescued Han people, and rushed to the scene after hearing about the situation.

Gu Zhun's wife was already struggling to speak with blood in her mouth. She looked affectionately at her son and then at her weathered husband with a contented smile. She said softly:

"Husband, my concubine has been loved by you for ten years, but when I was harmed by the Tartars, I should have died for the whole day.

But the Tartars used our sons to persecute me, so I have managed to survive so far.God is pitiful, I can still see my husband in my lifetime, and I can hand over my son to you. I will never regret walking on the road to Huangquan. "

Gu Zhun has studied in a private school for several years, and now he is a small banner officer in the army. It is because of his specialty that he can write and count that he got the opportunity to participate in the battle of leaving the customs. not on.

At this time, he was out of his wits, and wailed: "Help, help! Ma'am, you have to hold on, the medical officer will come soon, and their methods are clever! I followed the 'Red Banner Army' to endure hardships and stand hard work just to be able to find you! Why are you willing to take such a cruel hand? You must not die!"

"Husband, I'm sorry for you, I'm leaving, you and your son must live on, and try to change your family to honor your ancestors."

"I don't want those useless ones, as long as I can stay with you forever, you can't just leave like this, woo woo..."

But his wife gradually lost her strength and left after exhaling her last breath. The gray sky was ruthless, and the cold snow fell on the hot-blooded man's face and turned into water droplets, which mixed with hot tears and flowed silently.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

At this moment, Gu Zhun is not the only one who is sad, most of the "Red Banner Army" soldiers and laborers are crying silently.

They are all missing their wives and children, and they don't know what is the fate of their wives?I don't know how to face my abused wife again?
Huang Han had a hard time facing all this. He thought women in this era were really stupid. He couldn't understand it, but he couldn't change it.

But he issued an order with a sullen face that all rescued women must not commit suicide, but it was discovered that the "Red Banner Army" would not bring the relatives of suicide women back to Daming.

This move is more ruthless. Those women who think about committing suicide are all determined to sacrifice themselves for the reputation of their husbands and children.

When they found out that such a goal would not be achieved, and that their relatives would not be able to return to Daming, they would of course calm down.

Just issuing such a military order is far from enough. The young soldier received the task assigned by his teacher to publicize the eight or nine thousand rescued women.

The teenagers kindly told all the women that after returning to Daming, as long as they have nowhere to go and are willing to follow the "Red Banner Army", everyone, including women and children, will get food, clothing, work, and enough wages to support themselves and their children.

One or two thousand of these women did have the intention of dying, because they were in an embarrassing situation, they were pregnant, and it was self-evident who they were.

After Huang Han learned of this situation, he immediately issued an order that pregnant women were not allowed to participate in heavy physical labor, and arranged for them to cook, cook porridge, and steam cakes, and give priority to staying in warm yurts.

All Han women will get food and clothing during their childbearing period, and will be cared for by other women. The children they give birth to are all Han Chinese without exception. The "Red Banner Army" does not discriminate against these children, and they will all receive a good education in the future.

In fact, the best and most effective way to eliminate ethnic conflicts is to integrate and encourage intermarriage between Han people and other ethnic groups.

Adopt the simple method that as long as one of the parents is Han nationality, their children will be Han nationality. In one or two hundred years, there will be no 200 flowers, and there will not be too many unstable factors left behind.

Since the vast majority of Han women were captured by Jiannu and Tartars for only one year, there were not many newly born or breastfeeding children around them, and there were not many children aged one or two to seven or eight years old.

The "Red Banner Army" will spend at least ten days searching for the Karaqin Tartars near Qingcheng. Many Han people will be rescued, and more than half of them should be women. It is estimated that the women who will be brought back to Daming will not Less than ten thousand.

Huang Han did not allow anyone to discriminate against women who had been harassed by the Tartars, and asked the "Red Banner Army" soldiers and laborers to set an example and provide assistance to all women as much as possible, and to find and enlighten those who were abnormal in time.

Qingcheng was captured without bloodshed. The cavalry attacked the tribes of Gewotai and rescued many Han people. Now there are more than [-] Han people rescued. There are basically no elderly people, only about [-]% of children, and the proportion of women is the highest.

More than [-] shi of wheat were seized. These grains should be the output of wheat fields reclaimed by the Han people around Qingcheng this year. Not many yellow and white things were seized in Qingcheng, and some of them were seized from the homes of the Tartars who died yesterday. Some of the seizures came from merchants.

Most of the merchants doing business in Qingcheng are Han Chinese, and there are only a few Mongolians. Now they have been reported by the Han people in the city, and all of them have been dragged out of the cellar where they hid.

None of these businessmen can get rid of the suspicion of traitors. After interrogation and evidence collection, those who are convicted of traitors will be confiscated and all property will be confiscated. Presumably few Han merchants here are innocent.

When the Karakin people fled, the first choice should be to bring gold and silver, so Quanxu Quanwei took down a commodity concentration place with a radius of several hundred miles, but only got precious metals worth about 10 taels of silver.

However, after the "Red Banner Army" cavalry encircled and wiped out the Gewotai tribe, the precious metals confiscated in silver were as high as 5 taels.

The fleeing Tartars were easy to fight and had many benefits, which further irritated Hanzi, Yang Danian and other cavalry officers.

With the "Red Banner Army" infantry and labor to manage, and Shen Cunli leading the blacksmiths to cooperate, more than [-] Han people in Qingcheng were formed to clear supplies that night.

There are many carts and more cattle and sheep left in Qingcheng, most of which are the property of the tribes directly descended from Zhuo Erbi and Bulgadu.

But less than [-]% of those cattle can be transported in carts, and the remaining [-]% are beef cattle that have not been domesticated.

As the name suggests, beef cattle are used to kill meat-eating beings, not domesticated working cattle.In a short period of time, it is only a god who can make beef cattle pull carts.
