I have a cornucopia

Chapter 2 It's too late, get in the car
  Under Yang Xiu's surprised eyes, Yang Feng sat down with a gloomy face.

Then he took another sip of beer to calm down his shock.

He traveled to the late Ming Dynasty...

But the aftermath was a bit serious.

Dutamar was in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign. To be precise, it should be regarded as the sixteenth year of Chongzhen's reign.

Because it was in the winter of the 15th year of Chongzhen that the Qing army took advantage of almost all the Ming army to attack Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who had already reached Chengtian. With the empty opportunity in the rear, they suddenly entered the pass and drove south from the east of the capital, sweeping Shandong all the way and threatening Huai'an. . Like locusts, they avoid fortified cities when they encounter them, quickly loot and kill those that can be captured, and then quickly leave for the next target, Luxi, Lunan, and even until the cities are littered with corpses. The farthest one conquered Shuyang and had already approached Huai'an, then turned around and went north to besiege Haizhou. The news of the siege of Haizhou has just arrived, but the Qing army did not attack Haizhou. After testing it, they went directly north to capture Ganyu, and then from Ganzhou Yu went north to capture Andongwei and massacred the city.

This place is more important than Rizhao County in the north.

Antonwei is an acropolis, its scale is larger than Rizhao County, and it is also a maritime trade port in southern Luna.

Business prospered.

and so……

Just these three or five days.

In just these three to five days, he would have to face a massacre.

"Brother, there is no need to worry. Our boat is waiting at the top of Lanshan Mountain. Although we are keeping filial piety, the two elders will not blame us at this time. We can just go back to the city to pack up and go to Lanshan Mountain.

After boarding the ship, we went to Xugou Camp to temporarily stay with our uncle. "

Yang Xiu said cautiously.

"uncle?"

Yang Feng said.

"Uncle Hu, taboo Xiang Huan, and our Wei conductor Hu are both the descendants of Hu Hai, the general of Taizu's time."

Yang Xiu said.

Why are you still hesitating?
  Run away!

"go!"

Yang Feng stood up and said without hesitation.

"Let's go now?"

Yang Xiu said in shock.

"Is there anyone else in our family?"

Yang Feng said.

"There are only a few slaves, but they were originally supposed to stay behind."

Yang Xiu said.

"That's it, let's go quickly!"

Yang Feng said.

I received a military intelligence report today, but Haizhou is only across Ganyu from here. I am afraid that the military intelligence report will not be timely. The Qing army has fast cavalry, and for a war, the engagement range is not large. Maybe it's just a city, and it's normal for you to ride to Andongwei while surrounding Haizhou. What's more, it's Linyi now, and all the cities have been captured. This means that Qing troops are also likely to come from the west and north directions, and the distance from these two places to Andongwei is not much different from that from Haizhou.

Three to five days is only the most optimistic estimate. In fact, the Qing army may appear at any time.

"So, what about Sister Wang? She went out of her way to tell us."

Yang Xiu said.

"Uh, me and this sister from the Wang family?"

Yang Feng looked at her with eyes that you know.

"My brother and my sister from the Wang family have been childhood sweethearts, but my father feels that although the Wang family's uncle is a family friend, he is still a military general and is not as good as the banker's family."

Yang Xiu said.

I understand, I don’t like generals!
  Although his ancestors were also military commanders, he is now a Confucian scholar. Even if he is just a tribute student, he is still a scholar. Of course, his only son will marry someone who is also an heir to farming and studying. What's more, the Dadianzhuang family is also considered the number one landowner in Juzhou. The in-laws are definitely better than Commander Anton Wei...

Forget your origin!
  Of course, it's understandable.

After all, even a civilian official in the late Ming Dynasty could step on military commanders.

Even ordinary people are not willing to marry into military households.

What about Commander Wei?

Isn't it the same for the commander-in-chief to be so servile in front of the seventh-grade censor?

"Go and call her, just say I'm injured and lie to her first."

Yang Feng said.

Come and have a look!

Childhood sweetheart!
  Say it if it’s beautiful, if it’s not beautiful...

In fact, I have always regarded you as my sister.

Yang Xiu hurried down the mountain. They were actually delivering breakfast to their brother. Although this kind of thing could be left to the slaves, now that the three brothers and sisters depended on each other, they were naturally willing to deliver it themselves. It was only two or three miles away anyway.

Yang Feng looked around.

Only then did he notice that the geographical location of this Acropolis was actually excellent. It was protected by an arc of mountains. There were mountains to the north and east, and the road to the north passed through the mountains. But the west and south are rivers, and only the northwest is a farm road. Because it is close to the sea, the tide flows into the wide river, so the rivers facing the Acropolis on the west and south cannot be crossed without a boat. In fact, it is not easy to get a boat, because once the tide goes out, the mudflats at the bottom of the river will be exposed, so there is only one ferry upstream in the northwest, and this ferry is still several miles away from the Acropolis. As for the southeast, there is the head of Lanshan Mountain, which is the port and has a large number of ships. Gathering, so it is equivalent to relying on sea transportation. It's only half a day's flight from here to Lianyungang or the current Xugou camp. If you hold on, it's easy to hold on. The Qing army either really occupied it or massacred the city and looted it. If they were held on, they would only attack once at most. They couldn't really Keep attacking here.

Of course, the key is to persevere. At this time, the guardsmen of the Ming Dynasty were nothing more than a group of serfs.

hold fast?

Running away is more important.

But the problem is that running away doesn't solve the problem.

Because this is just the beginning. Chongzhen will commit suicide next year, and then the Qing army will come, and then the chaos will continue. Although all parts of Shandong surrendered early, in fact, the war against the Qing continued for many years, not to mention the population of Shandong. Not even one out of ten can be described as white bones exposed in the wild. The most direct evidence is the Tancheng earthquake, a super earthquake with a magnitude of 8.5. The entire southern Lunan including Linyi was almost flattened. The Andong Acropolis was also destroyed in this earthquake, and it was still at night. It happened while sleeping, but the final death toll was 50,000.

The entire city of Linyi was razed, the entire city of Tancheng was razed, and Juzhou was razed.

One hundred and fifty surrounding counties were affected.

However, according to official statistics, 50,000 people died.

It’s not that the earthquake is less powerful, but that after countless massacres in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, this area has no population at all. We can use the Jiajinghua County earthquake as a comparison. Under normal circumstances, the population density of southern Shandong is higher than that of Shaanxi, while Jiajinghua County The 8.3 magnitude earthquake killed 830,000 people, and the Kangxi Tancheng 8.5 magnitude earthquake killed 50,000 people...

Even modern buildings cannot withstand an earthquake of this magnitude.

There is no one who is better at disaster relief. All feudal dynasties have the same level of disaster relief.

The only explanation is that the population density dropped sharply to one-tenth of what it was during the Jiajing period, even if officials concealed it, it was one-tenth.

There aren't that many people to die.

And that was the seventh year of Kangxi.

Stability has been restored after more than twenty years.

So running away is useless.

After escaping this wave of massacres, you will still have to face the continuing chaos and countless killings when you return. Even if you don't come back, you will still have to face the same chaos and killings in Haizhou, and even if you continue to run, you will still face the same chaos and killings.

The whole north and south are full of killings with bones exposed in the wild.

run?
  Where could he go?

Traveling in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou, you will inevitably encounter troubled times!

Unless you go outside the Ming Dynasty and go to the Japanese country of Korea, but without enough force protection, there will be fat sheep wherever you go. What is the use of having a cornucopia like him? He was arrested, locked up in a dungeon, and moved out eighteen hours a day. If he dared to stop, he was whipped and made to work as a coolie moving bricks.

Move all the way to death!

He sat there and summoned a cornucopia. Yang Ying ate sandwich biscuits and sat watching.

Yang Feng put his hand in, and then pulled out a three-flowered flower...

"Damn it, are you going to drag out a big living person next time?"

He looked at Sanhua speechlessly.

The latter stared at him with wide eyes, and suddenly reacted and wanted to scratch him. He stuffed the guy back in without hesitation, so next time he really pulled out a big living person, he could just stuff it back in smoothly. His hands were groping inside like a prize, and then he grabbed another object and pulled it out with force. However, this object was obviously very heavy, but he still pulled out a little steel. The next moment, with the force of his pulling outwards, the cornucopia seemed to have held a big one, and suddenly collapsed, a huge mountain-like thing collapsed outward in an unscientific way. This thing had a dark shadow with a sense of oppression. Yang Ying, who was nibbling biscuits as it passed over his head, was stunned. She raised her head as if watching a blue whale leap over her head.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise and dust flew up.

Yang Feng and Yang Ying opened their mouths in the same posture and were stunned.

He pulled out a car.

A car that has a sense of age and looks very vicissitudes...

"A dump truck."

Yang Feng looked at the dump truck with a license plate number in front of him with a hint of confusion.

Then he suddenly woke up, ran over, opened the car door, looked at the fuel gauge, and the key was actually on it. He immediately started the engine, and looked at Yang Ying outside amid the roar of the engine...

"Come up!"

he shouted.

The latter is looking south.

Yang Feng immediately looked in the direction she was looking. On the beacon tower in the distance, wolf smoke shot straight into the sky.

At the same time, hundreds of cavalry figures appeared in the wilderness on the south bank of the river...

"Get in the car quickly and pick up your sister!"

Yang Feng shouted.

After saying that, he took out his lighter, lit a nearby oily rag, and threw it directly into his tomb filled with modern items. When Yang Ying was pulled into the car in a panic, it was a thatched house. The tomb, together with the contents inside, turned into a blazing flame. Then he stepped on the accelerator, and the dump truck went down the mountain road and headed straight for the Anton Acropolis at the bottom of the mountain. At the same time, the cavalry was also rushing to the upstream ferry, because it was cold winter and was less affected by the tide. The upper reaches of the river were frozen, and they could cross the river directly on the ice.

This is also an important reason why the Qing army chose to go south in winter.

They are free from river restrictions.

In this Little Ice Age, when Taihu Lake in the south could freeze and Guangzhou could experience blizzards, all the rivers in North China in winter were no longer obstacles. Their cavalry could march straight in, and they could also quickly withdraw with the harvest of plunder.

In the Anton Guard City, the drums for gathering troops also sounded.

"It's too late, get in the car."

Yang Feng stopped beside Yang Xiu, who had actually walked less than halfway, opened the door and shouted.
