The Ming Dynasty talker in the box

Chapter 29

Four of them, six sailors, the captain and the first mate, these twelve foreigners rushed forward screaming.

The seven or eight big men were in a state of excitement when they suddenly discovered a group of curly-haired baboons-like things attacking them. They were immediately horrified, and they confused their moves and were quickly subdued one by one.

Li Hengqu asked the two girls to stay behind, while he stepped forward and directed Da Wa and the others to take off the pants of the seven or eight big men to their calves, so as to prevent them from escaping.

Seeing that they were still struggling, Li Hengqu asked Da Wa and others to attack again. Da Wa and others had resentment in their hearts, so they struck particularly hard, and the voices of those who were beaten gradually became lower.

Li Hengqu waved his hand, and he wanted to leave these people alone for questioning.

"Can you be honest?"

"Yes, yes, please stop fighting. We are convinced."

"Looking at your clothes, should you be soldiers, Ming or Dashun?"

"Master, we are fooling around with King Chuang."

Dashun Army?Could these broken troops have escaped from Shanhaiguan?
"Are you the defeated soldiers from Shanhaiguan?"

"Master is right, we escaped from Shanhaiguan."

Sure enough, it was time to ask these people what happened at Shanhaiguan.

"Tell me how you were defeated."

"I don't know this either. We were fighting well, and we were about to take down the city wall. Then I saw everyone running away, so I ran away too."

It seems that Li Zicheng was indeed attacked by Dorgon during the attack on Shanhaiguan. No wonder he was defeated so miserably.

"Shouldn't you be running to Beijing? Why are you here in Shandong?"

"We heard that the west side is full of Tatar soldiers, and the capital has been occupied by the Tatars, so we can't run there, we can only run south, and everyone said that King Chuang also ran to Shandong, so we Followed all the way.

Li Hengqu pointed to the four trembling women and asked:
"Since you are here to follow King Chuang, what is going on?"

"We knew we were wrong. We thought we might die at some point, so we were fooled by lard and thought of robbing a few girls for fun."

Li Hengqu stood up, found a strong stick nearby, and then slammed it on one of them's knees.

The man suddenly howled like a pig.

"If you scream again, I'll break your other knee in pieces too."

After hearing this, the man bit his right hand tightly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he made a whining sound.

"You used to be farmers and were bullied by the Manchus. You didn't want to take revenge and went back to bully farmers like you. What you did was really bad."

Li Hengqu signaled Da Wa and the others to smash the knees of these defeated soldiers.

In today's chaotic situation, if you lose a leg, you may not necessarily die, but you will certainly not be able to do evil.

Under the threat of destroying the other knee, these defeated soldiers endured the pain and did not dare to shout out.

Dawa and the captain looked at Li Hengqu's back with some fear, thinking that this person was so perverted that he wouldn't even cry out in pain.

Li Hengqu asked the four women to get dressed and leave quickly. Unexpectedly, the four women kept begging Li Hengqu to take them with them. After asking, they found out that Shandong was already in chaos. It was all chaos.

It turned out that when news of Li Zicheng's defeat in Shanhaiguan came, the squires of Shandong, large and small, united to regain the land confiscated by Li Zicheng.

Those farmers who had been allocated land by Li Zi naturally refused to return the land, and as a result were either subdued or beaten to death.

The husbands of these four women were beaten to death. If they are allowed to leave now, they will probably either starve to death or be kidnapped by another group of thugs. The end will definitely be very miserable.

Li Hengqu couldn't bear to let them leave, so he agreed to let them follow him. If it didn't work out later, he sent them to a desert island.

"Do you know where the homes of those squires are?" Li Hengqu asked the four women.

The four women turned pale with fear and did not dare to speak!

"Don't you want revenge?"

When the four women heard the word revenge, they became more and more frightened, as if they were being asked to face a terrifying scourge.

"Forget it, just follow us. I'll find a place for you to have a good meal later."

Li Hengqu decided to find a squire to kill him!

They waited on the spot for more than half an hour, and finally saw the mixed-race monk driving a carriage from a distance, with two horses behind him.Hey, this monk is really reliable. He can find a carriage in this poor place.

"You can do it! How did you get this carriage and these two horses?"

"It was held by the roadside!" the monk said honestly.

"Where did you get the money to buy these?"

"Didn't I tell you to hold it on the roadside?"

"??You didn't give me any money?"

"I pulled it from the roadside, not from someone else's house. Why should I pay?"

…………

Li Hengqu climbed directly onto the carriage, picked up the box, then pulled Long Jiu up and let the monk drive.

Gerou also wanted to get on the carriage, but was rejected by Li Hengqu. No matter how coquettish she was, Li Hengqu firmly disagreed.

Gerou had no choice but to walk behind the carriage with the four women.

The foreigners just rolled their eyes and secretly cursed Li Hengqu for not being a gentleman.

They put the goods on the horses with great ease, and walked behind them honestly.

…………

Li Hengqu pulled the box out of the wooden box, zoomed in on the small highlights, and finally saw his carriage and a 500-meter field of vision centered on himself.

Long Jiu pointed at the screen and asked, "Is this us?"

"Yes."

"Then what's here?"

Li Hengqu looked over and saw a group of women holding their children and crying together. After crying, they exchanged their children with each other.

Is this... exchanging food for food?

Is the situation in Shandong already so bad?Could it be that the land that Li Zicheng had just allocated to them had been snatched up by the squires in just a few days?
"Go in that direction."

Li Hengqu said to the monk driving the car.

From time to time, they come to the position of the group.

The group of women and their husbands were startled when they first saw a group of foreigners, and they got up and ran away.

"I'll give you something to eat!"

Li Hengqu's voice sounded behind them.

Hungry's desire for food always overcomes most fears. When they heard that there was food, they stopped immediately.

"Is there really anything to eat?" One of the middle-aged men asked boldly.

"Yes, you follow me and I will take you to eat delicious food."

The group of people looked at each other in confusion, and finally decided to trust Li Hengqu. They bypassed Da Wa and the others and gathered around the carriage.

"You can change the child back."

…………

Li Hengqu's team just walked around like this.

Every time he saw a tragic situation on the screen, he looked for that place. Some of them exchanged seeds for food, some dug bark, some ate Guanyin soil, and some lay on the ground waiting to die!

Li Hengqu asked them to follow him one by one.

In this way, Li Hengqu's team has gathered hundreds of people, and the news that he will provide food has spread, and people will continue to look for it on their own.

The dozen or so grains of rice the size of liquefied gas tanks he brought have been shared among them.

However, Li Hengqu was not worried about the food problem, because less than a thousand meters away, an earthen castle appeared in his field of vision. This was his carefully selected target!
