The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 613
Wang said honestly: "But I don't feel at ease. Duke Nan Guo is a great official! Why does he take in useless people like us?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I heard that no less than 10,000+ people have gone to Guide Mansion. It is said that there are many good fields in the land of Lord Nanguo that have not been cultivated, so a large number of households are needed."

Wang honestly said: "Planting the land, it's not a problem, as long as Mr. Nan Guo feeds us."

"I don't care if it's farming or not, as long as the two boys don't get harmed by bandits. If they are captured by bandits and serve as thieves, they will be ruined forever."

"That's right, those turtle grandsons are too bad. They harmed all the way. I don't know how many good people were ruined by them."

"Let's work harder, as long as we can see the Huang family, we can drink porridge. Damn, I drank a bowl of pumpkin porridge at noon, and my stomach is so empty that I feel uncomfortable."

Wang Laoshi sighed and said, "Oh! Brother Li, do you know what those people in Dongzhuang did last night?"

"I know, I would rather die than do anything, even if it is a starving folk."

Wang Laoshi's slightly desolate voice sounded: "Yeah, I feel disgusted when I think about it. Anyway, I will never do such a thing as cannibalism. I just hope that I can find the Huang family, otherwise I may be eaten by others. "

The three sons of Wang Laoshi's family didn't have a serious name, they were called Big, Second, and Third. Last year, Wang married a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law was called by his wife's family. The underage daughters are of course Da Ya and Er Ya.

Wang Erxiao interjected: "Father, what are you talking about, with our brothers around, if we really can't survive, we killed others to let you eat."

This bloody boy has just passed the age for marrying a wife in this era, but his family is too poor, so he can only do his best to add a wife for his elder and younger, but unfortunately he is still a hearing mute.Erxiao and 16-year-old Sanxiao can't even marry a dumb woman.

Wang Laoshi reprimanded his son: "Second Xiao, don't talk nonsense, we are upright people, how can we do things like beasts. Go, find the 'God of War' and our family will have a way out.

As long as people have a glimmer of hope, they will be motivated. Those who go east together are ordinary people who have gone into the dense forest to escape the bandits.

Those who escaped by chance came out of their hiding place when the bandits went far away, and found that their home was burned, and they became destitute. They had no choice but to kowtow on the ancestral grave for the last time, bid farewell to their ancestral foundation and left their hometown to find a way to survive.

Gradually, there are more and more refugees on the official road, and some old and weak people who are exhausted will fall down and never get up again. Soon the snowflakes will cover the already cold corpses.

On the official road in the east of Yizhou, Xu Sijiu and Guo Sanxi led [-] strong men, pushing [-] wheelbarrows against the wind and snow, and marched tenaciously westward.This is a part of the Huang family's management in Guide Mansion, and it is also the hope of many refugees who cannot survive.

When they set off, the team reached 5000 people, with [-] wheelbarrows full of food, and they chose a defensive fort every [-] miles to leave some troops and food.

Guo Sanxi and his elder brother Guo Hexi are taller, so they eat more than ordinary people. When they were young, they often couldn't eat enough. When they were only 14 years old, they followed their elder brother to serve in the army to eat food.

He knows what it's like to be hungry, and the task assigned by the Patriarch is to prevent the common people from starving as much as possible. Of course, he is happy to do such a good deed.

Information from the Military Intelligence Department informed that there was a fight in the west, and the refugees were all over the place. Many people starved to death in the ice and snow. Human cannibalism incidents happened frequently.

Xu Sijiu, Guo Sanxi and Ma Yue who were staying in Guide Mansion couldn't sit still when they heard the news. The Patriarch asked them to save as many people as possible, and they might not be able to reach the Patriarch if they waited for the refugees to come to Guide Mansion. Minimum requirements.

These officers belonged to the masters who were not afraid of the heavens and the earth, but they were afraid that the patriarch would be disappointed with them. After deliberation, several main leaders made a decision to leave Sun Zhenhuai to handle the affairs of Guide Mansion.

Xu Sijiu, Guo Sanxi, and Ma Yue took 5000 people and [-] wheelbarrows and transported more than [-] shi of grain, preparing to approach the war zone and bring back as many ordinary people as possible who were unwilling to follow the bandits.

Along the way, they kept leaving men and horses and food on the spot to take in the common people and organize them to continue eastward. When they came to the border of Yuzhou, there were only [-]% of the men and horses.

Ma Yue stayed on the spot in Datunbao, eighty miles north of Yuzhou. This is a settlement of local clans and has certain defensive capabilities.

The patriarch originally led the strong men of the clan to confront Ma Yue and Guo Sanxi's 600 troops. Later, he learned that they were the "God of War" family members who came from Guide Mansion, and the patriarch changed his attitude to welcome them into the fort.

The patriarch's surname is Li Junpei, which is quite prestigious in this village. The Li surname is a prominent family here, and [-]% of the families are descendants of the clan.

Li Junpei has long heard about the righteous deeds of the "God of War" over the years, and a few days ago he learned that the Huang family opened a porridge factory in Guide Mansion to take in refugees.

Seeing more than 1000 well-dressed men and horses today, Li Junpei, who has extraordinary knowledge, felt awe-inspiring righteousness, chose to trust Xu Sijiu and others unconditionally, and invited them into the Tunpu.

Because he had seen bandits and rogues before, he knew that those troops were no different from ordinary people, and he had also seen the Daming Guard Army and Battalion Soldiers, most of the soldiers were dispirited.

But the team that appeared outside the Tunpu was completely different. They should be a strong army with a neat and energetic appearance. They claimed to be under the command of the "God of War", and they should have deserved their name. Teams with such spirit and vigor are rare in the mainland.

Soon Li Junpei found that his decision was wise. Each wheelbarrow pushed by these people was loaded with four stones of rice. It is said that the rice was transported from the distant Jiaozhi by the Duke of Nanguo.

Li Junpei is an outstanding talent, of course he knows his hometown, Jiaozhi, and he was very moved when he heard that the Duke of Nanguo bought food from such a remote place to save people from the fire.

As the head of the family, the patriarch did not make such a decision on a whim.

He saw that bandits were rampant in the unfavorable places, but the harvest in the fields was not as good as each year, which was caused by natural disasters and bandits.From time to time, the bandits went down the mountain to steal the unripe wheat outside the Tunbao, resulting in a direct reduction in production.

Although the rogues and bandits encountered so far are not strong enough to break through the fort, Patriarch Li is terrified every day, and he is responsible for nearly 2000 people in the entire fort.

The preservation of the Li Family Fort was entirely due to luck. The people who came here were not large groups of thieves. They could only harm the crops outside the fort and were unable to attack the fort. However, the young and strong of the Li Family Fort were unable to rush out of the fort to drive away the thieves.
