Chapter 443 Don’t leave anything behind (2 in 1)
Yan Huaiwen has no experience in dealing with such matters.
To be precise, in his previous life, everything in Guanzhou only existed in written documents.
After the King of England succeeded to the throne, this land of fiefdom attracted a lot of attention from officials from Guanzhou. Not only them, but also the King of England and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were aware that His Majesty cared about Guanzhou, even more so than other big houses.
.
At that time, he was quite dissatisfied with this division and grouping.
Fortunately, Your Majesty was able to cover it up and it was not too outrageous.
In order to balance the north and the south, since so many people care about the north of the country, he will focus more on the south...
Recalling the reports about Guanzhou, the cold disaster, the military disaster... I will also mention it, but the court's response has been very passive until the British king came to the atrium, as if he wanted to get back everything that was missing before.
, Guanzhou, but if something is repaid, nothing will be denied...
This is also the reason why Yan Huaiwen chose to come here in this life.
He knows everything about what's going on in the south. There are still a few good years now. When the drought in Qishan Prefecture passes and the anode and yin arise, there will be continuous floods.
For the sake of his family, choosing the lesser of two evils, he naturally chose Guanzhou.
At least the disaster here can be avoided.
Yan Huaiwen recovered his thoughts and summoned several government officials to go into the tent to investigate.
First, the identities of these women must be determined.
Yan Laoer and Yan Yu looked at each other and followed Yan Huaiwen silently.
Yan Yu tightened the stick in her hand, thinking that if someone caused trouble, she would definitely let them taste the feeling of having an iron stick added to her body!
The three brothers of the Qi family walked faster than the father and daughter, and followed Yan Huaiwen into the tent.
Yan Laoer and Yan Yu fell at the back...
It was a bit difficult for Yan Yu to squeeze in. The tent was not small, but there were too many people coming in.
Fortunately, she has the advantage of height, so it is easier to find gaps in her vision.
Probably because they talked too much, the women's words gradually became coherent.
They were not crying, nor were they panic-stricken. Instead, they were weak...numb. Even fear was different from ordinary fear. It was more like a fear and shame that they did not dare to face the reality...
Very complex emotions.
But Yan Yu rarely understood it.
These women did not want to specify where their household registration was, where they were taken captive from, or who their parents, siblings were, let alone their names or even surnames.
She felt so overwhelmed.
She was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.
If there were still Beirong alive outside, Yan Yu thought she would rush out immediately and beat them to death!
Yan Huaiwen only asked twice and then stopped.
Yan Yu couldn't help but tugged at her uncle's clothes.
Yan Huaiwen turned around, lowered his head and looked at her with questioning eyes.
"Uncle, are they from Guanzhou?"
She thought, this was all she needed to confirm.
Yan Huaiwen nodded slightly and sighed inaudibly.
For him, there is no need to ask too many questions, just a few words are enough.
They are indeed from Guanzhou.
But the children around them are not, not all.
The small faces, which are obviously different from the deeper outlines of the people in Guan Nei, can already explain a lot.
Yan Yu's eyes turned to the children who were blocked behind them intentionally or unintentionally by the women. They were really, really small.
Even the swaddled baby didn't seem to cry. He only hummed weakly twice, and his mother quickly put her fingers into his mouth, and only a slight sniffing sound could be heard.
Yan Yu suddenly spoke, her voice not loud, but clear and firm.
"We are from Huju. If you don't want to go back to Longxing and Fengming, you can come to our Huju.
There are a lot of wild lands where tigers live. This year there was a severe drought in Qishan Prefecture and Leshan Prefecture. Many people fled the famine and came to Guanzhou. Mr. Tian will re-naturalize the land and allocate the land. As long as the wasteland has been cleared for three years, the land will become his own.
Make a contract."
Yan Yu paused to give them time to digest and absorb.
Yan Huaiwen never took his eyes away from Xiao Er.
In the always cold eyes, there is recognition, relief, pride, and turbulent emotions jumping wildly, and finally calm down.
It is a kind of peace that I am not afraid of even if the road ahead is rough.
Yan Yu slowed down his voice and continued: "On the way to escape, there were too many families who got lost, and many lost their household registration... But it doesn't matter, Mr. Tian is a good official. As long as he wants to settle down in Huju and live a good life,
Yes, if we all support each other, we can survive this day."
Yan Laoer gritted his teeth tightly and couldn't help but look away.
Tears fell down hard.
These women and children are pitiful.
But his tears were not that low.
The reason why he is so excited is because his big treasure is so wonderful!
His eldest daughter is usually cheerful and cheerful, but actually he has the softest heart.
She thought of a way for them, a way where they could remain anonymous, use the identities of disaster victims to cover up their true identities, and avoid being hurt by strange looks from others.
Yan Laoer felt that he could do something to help these poor women within his ability.
He rushed out of the tent and let the cold wind outside dry his eyes and wake up his brain.
He rushed in again.
"You guys go out first." Yan Laoer's voice was a little cold, like the cold wind he brought in.
His eyes fell directly on those government officials.
The latter hesitated for a moment, looked at Yan Hushu who did not express his position, and silently exited the tent.
As soon as the person leaves.
In this tent, there are only three people from the Yan family and three people from the Qi family.
And these six people are our own.
Yan Laoer: "We don't know if there is any precedent for resettling you in the border town. I think there should be. I once saw Guanzhou people in Longxing who looked like Beirong.
I have two methods here. One is to place you in different villages. In a village, there is only one child who looks special and will not be very conspicuous. You can forget the past and start over.
The second is to place you in one place so that you can live together.
In name, you are all victims fleeing famine. We can guarantee this. As long as you are convinced of this, you will live a relatively peaceful life in Huju."
Yan Huaiwen looked at his younger brother, with a smile in his eyes.
Mr. Tian is a pretty good teacher. If it were Tianyou in the past, he would definitely ask him what to do. But now, his Tianyou can take charge of the job on his own.
"... Let me see if she is a girl from Guanzhou, don't be deceived..." Mr. Xue Qi's loud voice came from outside the tent. The next moment, his big hand opened the curtain. Unexpectedly, these people were standing inside.
I was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously went to look for Yan Hushu.
He found it and walked over. He originally wanted to pull the person aside, but he didn't want the other person to understand his actions. He gave a signal with his eyes first and the two of them walked out of the tent.
Yan Yu was the first to act, quietly approaching the tent and lifting the curtain a crack.
Later, Yan Laoer also quietly leaned over.
She heard her uncle asking General Xue Qi what the border troops would do with the women who had been kidnapped by the Beirong in the past and even the children they gave birth to.
General Xue Qi said matter-of-factly: "Bring the border troops back, if these women go home, very few of them will survive. Some of them are because they can't let it go, and some of them can't let their family members let it go...
All in all, it's quite disturbing. Yan Hushu, tell me, how difficult it is to stay alive under the Beirong army. The gathering place we raided today is pretty good. I built a separate tent for them. I also
I've seen people sleeping with cows and sheep...forget it.
Although our frontier troops are miserable, they still have food to eat and no one laughs at them."
"What about the child?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
Mr. Xue Qi didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, he finally said: "I'd better join the border army."
The border army's feelings towards these children were very complicated.
I know they are innocent, but blood ties are something that is hard to ignore.
As children grow up day by day, their appearance...
Joining the army is their only way.
As long as they are willing to take up swords and guns to fight against Beirong, then we are all brothers, and no one will dislike the appearance of their brothers.
The recognition of the border army is that simple.
Look at where your blade is pointing.
Yan Laoer heard this and walked out.
"Brother Xue, why have you never seen anyone in the border army look... like this?" Yan Laoer gestured to his face.
General Xue Qi's expression has never been more complex.
"The Beirong don't care at all about little brats like them. They live as long as they can. If they live, they are their slaves. They work for them. If they die, they die. They don't care either.
If you look at them carefully... not many of them can stand.
Even if he is raised, he is still a lone wolf, not gregarious, and either runs away or fights to death for himself...
Very few can survive.
We have a few soldiers on the border, but the last time we came back to Beirong, those brothers were killed the most ruthlessly and we didn't keep them."
Yan Yu put down the curtain and looked at the women in the tent.
She walked over and knelt down in front of them.
Question: "Did you hear that? Do you want to go to the border army?"
One of the women moved over and was the one who put her fingers into the baby in her arms.
"Young master, I don't want to go to the frontier army, and neither do my children." Her eyes were no longer numb and flinching, and there was a kind of determination shining in her eyes.
Yan Yu's tone was solemn and her expression was very serious: "Right now, there are four paths you can choose.
In addition to the two things my dad said, if there are border troops or if you think your family may accept you, we can help you contact them secretly..."
"And." Yan Yu looked directly at the other person and said word by word: "Don't call yourself a slave, talk about me."
She knew that this might be a self-identification of her daughter's family and had nothing to do with her identity, but she just didn't like it.
"Young Master, can we really be naturalized in Huju as disaster victims?" Another woman asked in a low voice. Her voice was hoarse, like two grinding wheels grinding against each other.
Yan Yu looked over and found that her facial features were very beautiful. Even though her face was very dirty and her hair was messy, to a woman, this dirt was nothing.
With this discovery, she went out of her way to look carefully at every woman in the tent.
Nothing ugly.
Yan Yu affirmed: "Yes!"
"Young Master, we want to go to Huju."
"Young Master, we are not going to the border army."
Yan Yu knocked the iron rod in his hand on the ground.
The account immediately became quiet.
She said softly: "Don't be afraid, just listen to me. You still have time to think about it, and then tell us after you think about it. Now, we have to leave right away, taking everything we can take with us here. It's best to, what?"
Don’t leave any of them behind.”
…
What Yan Yu said, "Don't leave anything behind" is not an adjective.
They wanted to take away the corpses of Beirong, the cattle and sheep, the things in the tents and the fodder piled outside. They wanted to take away everything.
This "they" refers specifically to the people of Xiao'an Village.
The border troops were stunned.
These countrymen were brave in killing enemies one by one, and they were even more ferocious in moving things.
The vast grassland has no trees.
This is something that makes people in Xiaoan Village complain endlessly.
But if there are conditions, you have to go. If there are no conditions, they can force it.
"Tear it down, tear it down! The tent has been torn down. If you don't keep it, why do you want to keep it? Why do you still want to sleep in the tent? Your own kang is not hot? What a shame!"
Hurry up, tear up the cloth, pack all the useful things in it, tie the two bundles together, put them on the horse, put them on the cow...
Sun Erdan, are you stupid? Why don’t you put it on a cow? It’s so short that you can’t see it. Why don’t you put it on a bull?”
Yan Laoer became the commander-in-chief and stood on the haystack in high spirits.
"Hu Da, is it so troublesome to tie up a dead man? Can you do it more quickly?" He was extremely dissatisfied with the speed of the border troops.
The people in Xiao'an village and the government officials all had nothing to say about Yan Laoer's command.
The Border Army is a bit worse. After all, who knows who he is!
But it doesn't matter. I don't know Yan Er, but I know Hu Da. As long as he can command Hu Da, that's all.
Hu Da then commanded other frontier troops, but the result was the same.
Mr. Xue Qi looked at Yan Huaiwen next to him and said nothing.
Yan Huaiwen sat on the horse, looking at the sunset that was gradually setting in the west. He turned to General Xue Qi and smiled: "Excuse me, General Xue Qi, please go patrolling again and make sure there is no one around."
General Xue Qi knew the importance and rode away with his men.
When Yan Laoer saw someone leaving, he ran to his brother's side: "Brother, what if Mr. Xue Qi doesn't agree to transport things from the mountains?"
Yan Huaiwen said calmly: "This time the border army only has four teams of small flags... Mr. Xue knows the importance."
Yan Laoer thought about it for a while: "General Xue Qi is also afraid of being known. Hey, we can't just leave from the beginning."
Yan Huaiwen patted the falling snow off his shoulders and said warmly: "Go and do your work."
General Xue Qi must have concerns. Strictly speaking, the border troops sent troops without authorization this time and did not report to the superiors.
But rules are rules, and customs are customs. The three border towns of Huju, Longxing, and Fengming are in constant confrontation with the Beirong. Are they only allowed to call in from the Beirong and not allowed to go out to spread fire?
Such a small group of Beirong soldiers would be killed by the border troops, so who could blame them for their faults?
It's just that the Huju Border Army had suffered defeats. If it was reported step by step, this Beibei army might not fall into the hands of the Huju Border Army. The location here is close to Longxing. Most of them were sent by the Longxing Border Army without General Xue's banner.
What's up.
Yan Laoer ran to his daughter again.
"What's going on? How about we just stay here and take care of it?"
In a hurry, Yan Lao Er Qi Shan's words came out.
Yan Yu followed his words with a smile: "Look, just keep it in check! Dad, look at the sheep you let out to chase them away, let them go east to east, let them go west to west..."
Zhai thought about it for a while, since nomads can move around, then it is also possible for us to demolish our homes and move away~
So, I dismantled it (*^▽^*)~
It’s another day when I’m too lazy to write chapters. I’ll correct the typos first and then~
