Chapter 230 Magistrate of Daming County and County Magistrate of Guibu

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was early July.

It was hot.

Yao Yunxi was in good condition. He sat on the cool bed. After the medical soldiers from the Ministry of Health changed the gauze for him, he asked: "Doctor, can I go out for a walk?"

The medical soldiers had corrected the issue of address several times, but Yao Yunxi couldn't change it, so he stopped insisting.

Hearing this, he replied: "You can leave the wounded barracks for a walk, but you cannot exercise strenuously. You must rest in the next half month. In addition, you cannot leave the wounded barracks without permission from above."

"Thanks, I'll just take a walk around the camp."

After the medical soldiers left, Yao Yunxi got up and walked out of the camp.

Although the tent he lived in had six sleeping beds, it was clean and well ventilated.

Yao Yunxi thought that it was because of his special status that he could live in such a tent with good conditions.When I walked out today, I found that there were similar tents all around.

The front and back of the tent were opened, and you could see six beds inside. However, the other tents housed wounded soldiers, ranging from two to three to three or four. The total number of people was not large.

The camp smelled of quicklime water, but it was quite clean. It was completely different from the military camps for wounded soldiers he had seen.

The wounded barracks was not big, so he quickly finished the tour and was filled with emotion.

"You can tell the whole leopard at a glance. Liu Sheng and the Gui tribe are indeed not simple. No wonder they defeated the army and defeated Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai. '

'This generation first occupied Runing, and now they also occupy Nanyang and Xiangyang. The Ming Dynasty is in danger. '

After sighing, Yao Yunxi couldn't help but stand by the trench and look outside at other camps.

In the few camps that could be seen, soldiers were patrolling in groups or training under the leadership of generals, and they were peaceful and yet solemn.

Yao Yunxi once visited Liu Guangzuo's camp. Although there were patrols and drills among the soldiers, more people gathered together to chat and even gamble in the camp.

Comparing them in his mind, he actually felt that the officers and soldiers of the Wei tribe were more like officers and soldiers.

This gave him a very complicated feeling - it would be great if the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were so good at fighting but well-disciplined.

After walking for a while, Yao Yunxi felt a little tired, so he was ready to go back to his tent to rest.

At this time a general came in.

Seeing him, he said: "It seems that Yao Zhixian will be cured soon."

Yao Yunxi had seen this man twice but did not know his identity, so he asked: "Who is your Excellency?"

"Chen Heng, a military and political officer of the Nanyang Guard Regiment, temporarily serves as the magistrate of Nanyang County."

The magistrate of Nanyang County in Weibei?
Looking at Chen Heng's young face in his twenties, Yao Yunxi felt even more complicated.

He was the second-class Jinshi in the seventh year of Chongzhen. He ranked relatively low in the palace examination. He became the magistrate of Nanyang County in a few years and was nearly thirty years old.

This age is younger than most county officials in the Ming Dynasty, but still several years older than the magistrate of Weibu County in front of him.

He asked in a strange mood: "What do you want, Your Excellency?"

"The two thieves Li and Luo not only plundered all the money and food in Nanyang City, but also burned many official documents and files. Magistrate Yao should know something about the situation of the people in Nanyang City and the suburbs. Can you tell me about it?"

Yao Yunxi thought that the other party was the county magistrate appointed by the rebels, so he resisted.

But thinking that his life was saved by the other party, and that he was well taken care of by the medical soldiers these days, he felt a little embarrassed.

In addition, he was actually quite concerned about the current situation in Nanyang, and thought he could learn more about it through this anti-thief magistrate.

So he asked: "How many people are there in Nanyang City now?"

Chen Heng smiled and said, "Why don't we go to the tent and talk."

"it is good."

The two arrived at the tent and each sat on a summer bed.

Chen Hengdao: "After we arrived in Nanyang City, we gave out porridge and relief for several days, and basically all the people who were hiding came out. Some people who fled into the wilderness in the suburbs also returned one after another.

However, so far, there are still only more than 4 people registered, less than [-]. "

Yao Yunxi's face paled immediately after hearing this, "There are 15 households in Nanyang City and its suburbs, with nearly [-] adults. If women and children are included, there are at least [-] people. Now it is less than [-]?!"

Chen Heng's expression also changed slightly.

He had always thought that the number of people in Nanyang city and suburbs was only 15 or [-], but he didn't expect it to be more than [-]!

Then he sighed: "The two thieves Li and Luo kidnapped at least [-] young people from Nanyang. According to what Magistrate Yao said, even more people died tragically in their hands."

Burying and burning corpses was not only done by the Kueibu, but Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were also doing it when they were entrenched in Nanyang City, but they didn't treat it as an important matter.

Therefore, it is difficult for Weibu to judge how many people died in Nanyang City based on the corpses cleaned up in the past few days.

Not to mention, some of the bodies were simply incomplete.

After coming back to his senses, Yao Yunxi couldn't help but ask: "Nanyang has lost so many people and the famine is serious. What are you going to do?"

Chen Hengdao: "We can only move some people to other places for food, and then let some people work for relief, repair cities, ditches, and farm land, and strive to be self-sufficient as soon as possible."

Yao Yunxi frowned upon hearing this, "The population is already so small, you still want to move people away?"

"There is no food in Nanyang right now, so we can only transport food from elsewhere. Although the road from Runing to Nanyang is not far and not difficult to walk, there are always losses in transportation. It is better to move some people to Runing."

In fact, it was moved to North America.Yao Yunxi was silent for a moment, barely understanding.

Afterwards, Chen Heng chatted with Yao Yunxi about some other Nanyang people's livelihood issues and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Chen Heng said: "I see that Magistrate Yao is a good official who cares about the people. Why don't you join our army?"

Yao Yunxi's face turned cold and he asked, "If you care about the people, do you have to serve the Kuaibu?"

Chen Heng didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "Our commander said that the Ming Dynasty is like a rotten old house. Not only does it leak from all directions, but even the beams are hollowed out, making it difficult to repair. It's better to tear it down and build a newer one." Nice, bigger new house.”

After saying that, Chen Heng left the wounded barracks.

He now holds two jobs. Although he is supported by Liu Huan, the prefect of Nanyang, he is also very busy on weekdays.

The main purpose of visiting Yao Yunxi today is to understand the household registration and other conditions of the people in Nanyang, and to persuade Yao Yunxi to join the army is just incidental.

After leaving the wounded barracks, Chen Heng took the guards to the "Nanyang Women's Camp".

After Chen Heng's ideological work, more than 8000 of the more than 6000 women who were kidnapped and abandoned by Luo Rucai's tribe were willing to migrate.

In addition, there were some women in the city who had been bullied by the bandits but survived. After hearing the news, they also wanted to move.

These women, plus their children, number more than 1!
At Liu Sheng's instruction, these women who were about to migrate all lived in the "Nanyang Women's Camp".There is also a youth camp next to it for boys over ten years old.

As for those women who lost their virginity and did not want to move, they have all returned to live in the city.

Tomorrow morning, these women and children would embark on the road to Tianmu Mountain. Chen Heng was a little worried, so he came to visit the camp again.

"The county magistrate is here!"

Several women who were hanging clothes to dry at the gate of the camp immediately exclaimed when they saw Chen Heng, and then greeted him one after another.

"I've met the county magistrate!"

Chen Heng was a little helpless and said: "Didn't I tell you that we are not used to calling you master, and I am only temporarily serving as the county magistrate. You can just call me Chen Junzheng."

A bold young woman smiled and immediately changed her words: "I have met Chen Junzheng."

Chen Heng did not chat with the women and went directly to Ge Sanniang, the person in charge of the camp.

Weibu took over Nanyang City on the afternoon of June 22nd, and today is the second day of July.

These women have been out of torture for ten days. Although most of them are still very thin, their bodies have recovered.

The Kuei tribe does not have idle people, so these women work in tents weaving, mending, starching and washing clothes, etc.

Ge Sanniang became the battalion commander of this small camp of 500 people because of her lively mind, principles for doing things, good at weaving, cooking and other skills, and her meritorious service.

When Chen Heng found Ge Sanniang, Ge Sanniang was weaving with Xiao Huan.

Although it had only been ten days, Xiao Huan seemed to have thought about it, no longer seeking death, and living actively, but he had become taciturn.

Now she is one of the captains of the small camp, and also serves as the camp clerk, responsible for copying documents, keeping accounts and other tasks.

However, there were very few such jobs in the camp, so in her free time, Xiao Huan learned weaving from Ge Sanniang. Although she had a weaving workshop at home, she could not weave, only embroidery.

Speaking of which, the two of them are not able to stand out among many women, and they do not rely entirely on their own abilities.

A few days ago, Xiao Huan cheered up after learning that he could move elsewhere and start a new life.

She and Ge Sanniang returned home and found the remaining hidden grain cellar, and dedicated more than a hundred stones of grain stored in it to the Wei tribe. Only then was Chen Heng impressed and entrusted him with an "important task."

"I've met Magistrate Chen."

Ge Sanniang and Xiao Huan changed their names, but seeing Chen Heng still nervous and awkward, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite." Chen Heng smiled and motioned for the two of them to stand up. "We will be on the road tomorrow morning. Is there any problem with your camp?"

Ge Sanniang knew that Chen Heng was referring to ideological issues, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, County Magistrate Chen, the sisters in our battalion have all made up their mind to migrate, and no one has regretted it."

After a short pause, he added: "I'm just a little worried about whether I can live a good life in a new place."

Chen Heng smiled and said: "Didn't I say this? The place you are going to has fertile land. As long as you can endure hardship, you will definitely not be hungry. If you have a skill, you can live a good life in a year or two.

Of course, if you go there and find a good man to marry, you can live a good life immediately. "

Ge Sanniang and Xiao Huan both smiled stiffly and felt a little speechless.

Chen Heng had come several times to do ideological work with the women, and had openly and secretly encouraged them to get married as soon as possible several times. It was strange for a magistrate and general to be like a matchmaker.

After chatting with Ge Sanniang for a few words, Chen Heng went to other small camps.

After he visited all the small camps and made sure there were no major problems, he came to the Guards camp and reported to Liu Sheng...
In handsome account.

Liu Sheng is discussing with Liu Huan (Liu Zhenshi) the matter of working for relief.

"The water conservancy system in Xinye has been basically completed. Therefore, I have ordered the [-] Ming army prisoners to be transferred to Nanyang City for labor service."

After Liu Huan was appointed as the prefect of Nanyang, facing the situation in Nanyang City, there were two most troublesome problems, one was food and the other was population.

After hearing Liu Sheng's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "That's great! However, the period of labor service for these people has been less than three months. Can the commander extend it for a few more months?"

　Second more.

　　Good night~
