The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 308
Liu Zaiqi, Huang Kezao, and Xiang Chengliang will live together.

They knew that an outer city was being formed between the "Tiger's Cave" city and the Funing Acropolis, and the building materials needed were endless. How could there be a large number of ready-made beams, doors and windows here?

They assigned the rescued Han people to work, and ordered them to remove the doors, windows, and roof beams and transport them away, so that they could use them in building brick houses for everyone in the future.

Huang Han knew that he had plenty of time, and he also knew that the camps by the sea could not be captured by Jiannu cavalry raids. After being able to plunder a lot, the supplies of the Jin army would of course weaken Jiannu and strengthen himself, so why not do it?
The autumn harvest has just come, and this year's harvest in western Liaoning is good, so there is a lot of grain in Fuzhou City. Even those confiscated in private homes have a total of more than [-] shi of wheat and [-] to [-] shi of miscellaneous grains.

It can be seen that there is still a shortage of food in the later Jin Dynasty, because the total population of the cities and villages in the area looted by the Huang Han is [-] to [-], which is evenly distributed according to the stored grain, and the per capita is not enough. Two meals are [-]% full, and three or four stones of grain are needed for a year.

Of course, the lack of food for Jiannu would not let him starve. I am afraid that Han Aha can only eat wild vegetables, bark, and grass roots mixed with a little food most of the time to barely guarantee that he will not starve to death.

No wonder nine out of ten of the rescued Han Chinese were emaciated and emaciated. This was entirely the result of long-term malnutrition.

In the early morning of the second day after taking Fuzhou City, the smiling Han people put animals on the thousands of carts they seized, and they drove ox carts and horse carts to the seaside to carry them one after another.

Due to the lack of food every year, the Jiannu paid special attention to food production. When looting in the pass, they would never let go of plundering cattle. Therefore, the "Red Banner Army" rushed down to Fuzhou City and basically led the Jiannu into the city. Thousands of cattle were all seized.

The Ming army seized the city too quickly, causing Nahai to flee in a hurry. He had no time or opportunity to give orders to destroy the city and burn food and supplies.

It is estimated that even if the order is given, no one will be able to complete it smoothly. After all, the number of the Jin army is too small, and there are more than [-] Han people in the city.

Therefore, Huang Han was destined to fight another fortune-making battle. It is estimated that he will get precious metals worth more than 50 taels of silver, and the value of grain, cloth, livestock, and miscellaneous materials should also exceed this amount.

In other words, plundering is the most lucrative business!Fighting a war of annihilation and taking all of a city and then looting it can really make a lot of money.

Huang Han never thought of being kind to Jiannu. He not only wanted to destroy Fuzhou City, but also destroyed all Jiannu's homes within a hundred miles.

When tens of thousands of people were preparing to evacuate Fuzhou City, the cavalry continued to burn, kill and loot, targeting the site thirty miles away from Fuzhou City. The ultimate goal was that there would be no living Jian slaves on this land.

Liu Zaiqi held up a loudspeaker all day to publicize. He felt that he was full of energy. He sincerely hoped to do more for the Patriarch, hoped that more Han brothers would defect to the Patriarch, and hoped that all soldiers and civilians in the system would be loyal to the "Red Flag" Army" effect.

Now Liu Zaiqi is always accompanied by a girl who looks only twelve or thirteen years old. She is Liu Xiaomei, the only surviving relative of Liu Zaiqi.

In fact, Liu Xiaomei is 16 years old this year, but due to long-term malnutrition that has affected her development, her hair is withered and yellow, her body is like a board, and her big eyes on her sallow face have become dull.

Finding Liu Xiaomei is the credit of Zhao Wuxiao. Yesterday, the engineering battalions entered the city one after another to participate in the collection of property and demolition. Zhao Wuxiao saw so many Ming soldiers raised their hands to salute Liu Zaiqi, and finally realized that the old neighborhood is now developed. It is possible. Became an officer.

He also fantasized about being able to wear such a beautiful military uniform and join the Ming army, so he took the initiative to ask Liu Zaiqi to recommend him to join the army.

Liu Zaiqi fully agreed, and asked him to lead dozens of Han people who had just been rescued to work, and told him to behave well. As long as he was willing to work, not hide property privately, and actively help the Ming army manage it, the strong laborers would be selected as the guards first.

Zhao Wuxiao was very active. He went to many acquaintances at night to inquire about Liu Xiaomei's whereabouts. In the end, the ending was good. Liu Zaiqi's younger sister was also a Xiaoqiang.

The brother and sister who had been separated for two years finally reunited, shed countless tears of happiness, and Liu Zaiqi thanked God for countless times, and every time he saw the younger sister's thin body, his heart felt like a knife.

Huang Han was lavish and never saved money on food and clothing. Seeing that the tens of thousands of Han people rescued were all pale and emaciated, he announced that he would eat three meals for everyone. Each meal would be given a four-liang white flour pancake, and gruel would be enough.

Liu Zaiqi led dozens of engineers to manage one or two thousand rescued Han people. When he beat the gong to eat, and the moment he saw the satisfaction in the eyes of the slave Han people who had not seen refined food for a long time, he would miss the opportunity to promote the "Red Banner Army" "The superiority.

"Folks, I used to be as thin as you and could be blown down by a gust of wind. Now look how strong I am."

Zhao Wuxiao was very cooperative and asked without losing the opportunity: "Liu Zanhua, your body and bones were not as good as mine before? Now look at the two of us, it's like heaven and earth!"

Liu Zaiqi said very emotionally: "I can have today because I met General Huang, the patriarch, and the 'Red Banner Army' led by him. Since I followed General Huang, I have no worries about three meals and live a healthy life. People have a lot of money."

Zhao Wuxiao asked again: "Liu Zanhua, will General Huang take in people like me? I can only play cotton and sew quilts because I can't read."

"General Huang once said personally that he is willing to take in as long as they are Han people, he can arrange work, plow the fields, and open mines, and he can ensure that every worker gets paid enough to support two or three people.

You, Zhao Wuxiao, have the skill of playing cotton and went to Funingwei. As long as you are willing to work, you will live better. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will not be too bad. It can be earned at one tael or five silver. "

Zhao Wuxiao took the lead in cheering, and then 2000 people shouted: "General Huang wins, 'Red Banner Army' wins!"

When the cheers gradually subsided, a woman interjected: "Men have jobs and can earn money to support their families. How will a widow like me live without a man in the future?"

Liu Zaiqi replied: "General Huang takes in a lot of women. There are thousands of them doing small businesses like selling baked sweet potatoes and fried potato chips. They can earn an average of [-] renminbi a month.

The "Red Banner Army" also has a female barracks, and the monthly salary of those female soldiers is also one tael and five silver coins plus five buckets of wheat for a month. "
