Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 22Refugees

"In the middle of the night, what's the noise? Lord Baihu is here!"

In fact, the craftsmen lived very far away. They walked a long way on the road with many twists and turns, until they reached the farthest place in the north of the fort. They saw a few dark cottages with no light. When they were far away, Zhang Gui began to reprimand, and after a while, the movement over there stopped.Grain-grain-net-first-post www>

When the lantern came within reach, I saw five or six middle-aged men kneeling on the ground, behind them stood a row of women, squatting with Wanfu to salute Zhang Shouren.

There are also a dozen or so children with dark faces and bright eyes, but the pupils are full of panic and fear. [

There are also two children, about two or three years old, with thin heads, big heads and small bodies, who look malnourished, and their mouths are covered in the arms of several women, and they are still twisting and turning.

"Let go, let go!"

Maybe it was the women dressed like beggars that moved Zhang Shouren, or the fear in the eyes of the children made him feel very pity, or the struggle of the children whose mouths were covered moved him, in short, Zhang Shouren felt a palpitation Compassion, and helpless anger.

When I came to this world, I have actually seen poverty and hardship that were unimaginable before.

People who lack clothing and food are already considered happy, after all, they can stay in the countryside and have family reunions.

The refugees who suffered disasters were even more miserable, and those who suffered disasters and were connected with military disasters, it was even more miserable, and they were living in hell.

The Liao people in front of them are the worst group.

Their homeland fell into the hands of Man Qing, and their parents, brothers and sisters were killed.Zhang Shouren's history is not good, but based on what he has learned recently, there may not be one out of ten Han people in the hometown of Liaodong. In Shandong alone, it is unknown how many have been displaced over the years, and how many have died.

Originally, he only had a little disdain and rejection of the Qing Dynasty, but he gradually became resentful towards this alien regime.

The woman covering her mouth was still in a daze, Zhang Shouren stepped forward with a sullen face, and pulled the hands of the two women away.

Although the hands covering their mouths were pulled away, the two young children were obviously shocked, their mouths were opened wide, their noses were running profusely, and their eyes were full of fear.

"My lord, forgive me, my lord, forgive me!"

Several men met in a hurry, the ground in winter was very hard and thick, so they kowtowed and bang bang, every two or three kowtows, blood flowed from everyone's forehead.

Zhang Shouren knew that the more magnanimous he was, the more panicked these Liaodong artisans would be.

After all, because they are from Liaodong, they are hated by the Shandong area. Judging by the appearance of these families, they don't know how they have survived the past few years.Although the military households in Shandong are not doing very well, at least they can eat more than half full of coarse grains. In the few houses in front of them, the men are all thin and out of shape, the women are even more haggard, and the children are all big-headed. Small, full length like bean sprouts, emaciated, obviously malnourished.

At that moment, he only said with a sullen face: "It's not appropriate to make noise late at night. But I see that you are newcomers, so I will forgive you this time. Let's all get up!"

"Yes, thank you sir!"

I don’t know how much these craftsmen have suffered, how many eyes and bullying they have suffered in Shandong, so they are all very cautious. After getting up, a man in his 50s and [-]s said with a smile: "I just moved here, and everything is fine. Come on, the children are just screaming hungry, and the little ones are also in a hurry, arguing with each other, if they disagree with the adults, it is really a crime worthy of death."
