The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 248 Retreat
All the [-] military conscripts were given tasks, and each of them was at least a small team leader. The original small banner officers were all squadron leaders who managed ten small teams.

The team leader is responsible for commanding the work of ten women and seven men, and is also responsible for the food and clothing of these people. A former handyman small flag officer needs to be in charge of commanding 170 people.

In the early morning of the next day, the rescued Han people got busy under the leadership of the army, and they were loaded into more than [-] carts.

The cavalry soldiers set off early in the morning to continue chasing the fleeing Karaqin tribe. They seized a lot of gold, silver, supplies, and large animals yesterday, and recaptured the small two thousand Han people. Today they went on the road with one person and two horses to try to kill one or two small tribes .

Originally, the cavalry had three war horses to transfer, but now they left one for the army's labor cart.

Because there are more than a thousand working oxen that can pull the cart, and the captured war horses make up the number of horses for the cart.

More than 6000 carts and more than 800 wheelbarrows are fully loaded. Every Han Chinese man and woman who walks is not empty-handed. They all carry cloth, wool felt or wheat on their backs. Even so, they can only transport half of the materials in Qingcheng.

Huang Han believed that the new defeat of the Karakin people was like a frightened bird, and the possibility of them returning to their carbine can basically be ruled out.

Even if the Karaqin people sent messengers to ask for help in time, a large group of Tartars came for reinforcements, and they should not have arrived immediately. So much food and supplies could not be destroyed by fire, so Huang Han decided to take the mode of relay transportation to get the grains back to the warehouse.

After 2 or [-] people transported supplies to the pick-up point run by Xiang Chengliang, all the vehicles and horses plus the hundreds of cattle, horses and carts from Xiang Chengliang's place went back to Qingcheng to transport them, and only then did the main force of the infantry follow The common people retreated.

Then retreat slowly at an average speed of twenty miles a day. All the carts must travel thirty to forty miles a day with a full load, and they can travel this many miles without a load.

During the retreat of the army, the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" searched a radius of [-] miles around Qingcheng, and implemented the policy of killing and looting everything. It can't be done for more than ten years.

For several days in a row, the people in Qingcheng shouted and neighed. The Han people regained their freedom, got enough food and clothing, raised their heads, and tried their best to move the supplies and food hoarded in Qingcheng.

Many women still participate in the labor with their big bellies, and they don't care whether it is heavy work or not.

The medical officer Liu Dashou has been troubled these two days, because he has something difficult to deal with, and after thinking about it, he still feels that he should ask the busy Patriarch for instructions.

Huang Han was very satisfied with the performance of the medical soldiers accompanying the army. He was very surprised to see Liu Dashou, a medical officer who was busy with his work and not good at speaking, came to ask him for instructions.

Liu Dashou, who spoke bluntly, saw Huang Han straight to the point and said: "My lord, I have been entangled by many pregnant women in the past two days. They asked me to prescribe abortion drugs for them. They hate the bastards in their stomachs very much, and they must abort the fetus."

"Ah? There is such a thing? Is the abortion pill effective? Is the fatality rate high?"

"They are all medicines for tigers and wolves. Of course they have effects, but the women who take them have to endure severe pain for at least two or three days. Women who are unlucky can't pass this test at all, and will die of pain."

"It's so dangerous and painful, why did those women bother?"

"They hate the Tartars, they hate the Tartars! They think that killing the fetus is killing the children of the Tartars who have harmed them. The adults want to take care of those month-old women and prevent them from doing heavy work, but those women don't listen at all. Looking forward to having a miscarriage, and intending to work hard."

Huang Han was silent. His modern thinking believed that the child was innocent, but he did not expect that the enslaved Han women did not think so at all. They did not hesitate to put themselves in danger in order to kill the wild species in their stomachs.

Liu Dashou continued: "Just yesterday, a woman gave birth, a natural delivery, a big fat boy, who would have thought that woman would pick up the child's feet and throw the child directly on the brazier..."

It was so cruel, Huang Han couldn't help but trembled.

What kind of blood feud should a mother kill her newborn child with her own hands?Mother was able to do such a cruel thing, what kind of inhuman abuse did she endure from the Tartars?
Huang Han let out a long breath and said, "That's why I don't have the right to speak on the issue of whether the fetus will live or not. Let this right be given to the women who are about to become mothers! It's their choice to take risks and take medicine to abort, and we choose to cooperate. "

Liu Dashou said: "The humble staff understands that the humble staff will be careful to minimize their pain and death rate as much as possible."

Huang Han sighed and said, "Oh! Man is doing what the sky is watching, let's do our best."

……

Just when Huang Han led the "Red Banner Army" to fight Zhuoerbi in the field, Lou Yun rushed to Da'ankou and Chengquan, the eunuch who delivered the order, was escorted by a full banner brocade guard.

Their destination was originally Zunhua City, but when they arrived in Zunhua in a hurry, the civil servants and military generals in the city informed the angel that Mr. Liu Zhilun was not in the governor's yamen. He had gone to inspect the defense of Da'ankou in early November. return.

The highest-ranking civil official in Zunhua City is a fifth-rank soldier who prepares the way. He invited the angels and the emperor's army to stay in the post for a day. He immediately sent a messenger to Da'ankou. Presumably, the governor will be able to hurry up the next day. Come to receive the order.

Lou Yun got the care of his immediate boss Li Ruolian, and knew that the "Red Banner Army" was going out from Da'an Pass, and now Liu Zhilun is also there, and the timing is so out of order, it can be seen that the governor of Shuntian should know Huang Han's plan.

Lou Yun and Liu Zhilun are no strangers. The last time Lou Yun was instructed by Huang Han to shoot Liu Zhilun to kill a white-armored soldier who was a slave, he gave a special lecture at the Beijing Normal University.

Of course he knew about the friendship between Huang Han and Liu Zhilun, now that Huang Han had left the customs a long time ago, there should be a reason why Liu Zhilun stayed in Da'ankou and did not return to Zunhua.

Lou Yun discussed with the eunuch Chuanzhi: "Eunuch Cheng, the governor of Shuntian is now in Da'ankou, and the humble officer thinks there is a reason for the incident, can you please work hard for a long time, we will rest in Zunhua tonight, and we will go straight on the road early tomorrow morning Daankou."

Cheng Quandao: "Our family was also born in Neishutang, and we are actually classmates with Eunuch Fang, and we have a very good relationship. When our family came out, Mrs. Cao and Eunuch Fang both asked our family to help the 'Red Flag Army' as much as possible. Since Lou Baihu I think it's inappropriate to let Mr. Liu leave Da'ankou at this time, so let's rush to Da'an tomorrow to deliver the order."

"Thanks to my father-in-law for your convenience. When General Huang returns triumphantly, I must ask my father-in-law to have a good time."

"Lou Baihu must remember this, don't go to Yichun Courtyard to drink flowers and wine without bringing our family."
