Chapter 99 Refugees
Chapter 99 Refugees
Ma Xintian sat upright on the mount under his crotch, and despite the bumps in the road, he stood still like a green pine. His steady eyes looked ahead firmly, revealing boundless self-confidence: "Although Qin Zongbing is old, Zeng Ying He will also throw a mouse-resisting weapon, because of the prestige of Qin Zongbing, he dare not attack the stone pillar directly from the waterway, if he wants to come, he will only attack from the dry road, I have no doubts about this."
Wang Huan rode his horse and walked side by side with him, feeling great confidence from Ma Xintian's tone. This kind of confidence comes from what Ma Xintian has heard and seen after following Qin Liangyu's blood for several years, and from the great confidence built up in the blood and fire. .
Wang Huan nodded slightly on the surface, seeming to nod casually, but in his heart he was envious and moved. This is the backbone, this is the ambition. You only need a name and shout: "I am here!" to make the subordinates feel proud. If you have the backbone and can work for you, when you can build up such confidence in Ma Xintian's heart, then you will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin Liangyu.
If the general is a soldier, he will be a hero. If the general is a sheep, even if his subordinates are all wolves, he is still a sheep in wolf's clothing. He can't make a fortune. If he is a lion, he can lead a group of sheep and defeat the wolves.
"I want to be a lion, and no matter how bad it is, I want to be a wolf!" Wang Huan's black eyes gleamed, he whipped his mount hard, galloped like a gale, and gritted his teeth.
The hooves of the horse team were rumbling, and they ran on the rugged and winding mountain road. Along the way, there were muddy roads that were not more than one foot wide, with many bends, narrow roads, and dusty sky. Passing through Kuimen by water, only some small merchants and hawkers who transport goods to the stone pillars for sale will pass by, and there are relatively few pedestrians.
But along the way, Wang Huan saw many people supporting the old and the young, carrying burdens and carrying burdens, staggering along the official road, they all walked towards the stone pillar from the front, and they would bump into each other almost every few miles. A group of them, each with a disheveled appearance, looked very embarrassed.
Wang Huan couldn't help but stopped once, stopped a group of about a hundred people, got off his horse and asked an old man with white beard in front of them, "Old man, where did you come from? Where are you going?"
The group of people saw that a group of armored officers and soldiers was coming, they avoided the side of the road early, bowed to the ground, and did not dare to lift their heads. The horse's hooves stopped in front of him, someone got off the horse, and when he peeked at an officer questioning him, his face turned pale with fright.
The old man fell down to the ground, and then suddenly squatted down and shouted: "Master Jun, Lord Jun, we are just honest peasants fleeing for refuge. We have no money on us, and our heads are worthless. Please let me go, Mr. Military!" , I beg the military master to let me wait!"
A crowd of civilians kneeling beside them also cried and shouted together, all begging in unison: "Please let me go, please let me go, please let me go!"
Wang Huan's face turned blue, and several veins popped up on his forehead. This scene caught him off guard, and the originally pleasant questioning turned into a robbery that seemed to be about killing people and stealing goods. According to the plot, shouldn't he be sympathetic to the people and the refugees, and the refugees are grateful to Dai Dezhi Thank you without saying a word?How did he become like this, does Lao Tzu look so much like a bandit?
Eyelids twitched a few times, and the desolate cry never stopped, finally wearing away the last trace of patience in Wang Huan. He jumped up, stomped his feet and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
The soldiers behind him shouted in unison: "Shut up!"
Like Xia Lei's roar, it exploded in the clear sky, and the people who were crying were shaken so weak that they shut their mouths and became quiet.
Wang Huan rudely pointed to the trembling old man kneeling on the ground and shouted: "You old man, I ask you well, but you treat me as a disorderly soldier and bandit, really hateful!"
The old man became more and more frightened, and hurriedly replied: "No, no, my lord, military lord, the little old man didn't mean that, didn't mean that."
Wang Huan pretended to be angry and said, "Since it's not the case, then get up and talk."
The old man raised his head slightly, his eyes were full of fear, he was trembling and couldn't stand up for a long time, Chen Xiang looked at him amusedly, and shouted with a smile: "Old man, this is the Counselor of my Stone Pillar Propaganda Envoy, the Lord of Longevity City Master Huan Wang, he told you to get up, so just get up."
Hearing the words "Longevity Valley Wang Huan", the people kneeling on the ground suddenly became agitated, the fear on their faces disappeared a lot, and they all raised their heads to peek. My lord, Wang Shanren? Is he really Wang Dashan?"
Wang Huan almost stumbled, Wang Shanren?Who sealed it for me?
The old man took a closer look at Wang Huan, only to see that the officer in front of him had a face like a crown, eyes like stars, and a nose like a gall, wearing a long blue cloth gown and a square scarf. He was only twenty years old, exactly as the rumors said. , Tears welled up in his eyes, like an underground party that had finally found an organization, stood up dangling on crutches: "It's really Wang Shanren!"
Wang Huan's head is full of black lines, and it is a good thing for the common people to praise him, but this title is not very correct, shouldn't he be called a parachutist, Sai Zhouyu or something?Great good man, no matter how you sound, you sound like a landlord and tyrant!
The old man didn't care what Wang Huan thought, he kept talking to himself: "Wang Shanren, oh no, Mr. Wang, we are common people who escaped from Chongqing Mansion. I heard that Shizhu was opening a warehouse to store grain. We can find a way to survive. So the whole family came to join us, and asked Lord Wang to show mercy and take me in."
When these words came out, Wang Huan was a little surprised. Most of the refugees resettled in Wanshou City were people from surrounding counties and counties. This is easy to understand. In the late Ming Dynasty, there were major disasters, including military disasters, droughts, locust disasters, floods, and white disasters. All disasters you can think of have appeared. In just a dozen years, they have taken turns to wreak havoc on the land of China. Almost every province has been affected to varying degrees. Food production has been reduced, and many places have turned into white fields. In addition to these natural disasters, there are also There was a disaster, the officials imposed excessive levies, and the horse thieves broke out and burned, killed, and looted. Although Sichuan was known as the land of abundance, it was also devastated.
In order to avoid misfortune, people hid in the mountains, and stone pillars were a good place to go. The neighbors fled in nearby, but the old man's whole family was from Chongqing Prefecture, where the Longevity Valley was hundreds of miles away. Where is Shizhu running?
Moreover, Chongqing is in the hands of Zeng Ying. Although he is of bad character and is also a warlord leader, he is loyal to the Ming court. In history, after Zhang Xianzhong died, he fought bloody battles with four generals including Sun Kewang, and was defeated and committed suicide. Integrity, it stands to reason that under the governance of such a person, the people should be able to survive even if their lives are not good, and they should not flee with their families.
So Wang Huan frowned and said, "Chongqing Mansion? It's six hundred miles away from here. Zong Bing Zeng has already recovered this city from the thieves. Why do you want to flee to my Longevity City?"
It doesn't matter if he doesn't mention Zeng Ying, but when he mentioned Zeng Ying, the old man burst into tears, choked up and almost fell down, Wang Huan quickly grabbed his hand, the old man stood upright, raised his face, his face was full of wrinkles The faces accumulated over the years were filled with endless sorrow, and he said in tears: "My lord, Chongqing Mansion is no longer a place for people to live."
