Chapter 68
Liaodong is now very chaotic and basically in a state of anarchy.
Nurhachi and his sons were very capable in fighting, but poor in governing. After killing the main force of the Ming army outside the Pass, they had no intention of going to Beijing to overthrow the emperor. They lacked knowledge and also lacked lofty ideals. Ambition. They really haven't figured out what to do next.
Except for a few far-sighted guys, most people thought that they had grabbed enough things this time and should go home and enjoy two days of happiness. Speaking of which, after conquering Shenyang City and Liaoyang City, they still haven't had a good tour.
Jinzhou, which was within easy reach, was abandoned, and Ningyuan was abandoned. In fact, the area south of Liaoyang was basically abandoned. The Eight Banners soldiers retreated, and the refugees who were hiding emerged like mushrooms after the rain.
At this time, they had nothing, no food, and no shelter. Their relatives were killed, their houses were burned down, and their food was taken away. In the biting cold wind, they seemed like orphans abandoned by heaven and earth.
When Li Xiao got off the boat, he saw this sad scene. Ningyuan City in the distance was in ruins, and there were several zombie-like people walking around at the gate of the city.
The unkempt and disheveled people huddled in any place that could shelter from the wind as if they had lost their souls. They all had long hair and their clothes were extremely dirty. It was very difficult to distinguish between men and women!
These policemen feel like mice, they will prick up their ears and look around whenever there is any sign of disturbance.
The flag to recruit troops had just been raised, and they just raised their heads and looked at it without any indication! But when a large basket of rice dumplings was placed, someone immediately rushed over with red eyes and made a sound like a wild beast. !
Ao Canghai kicked away the man at the front, "Whoa!" The saber in his hand was unsheathed, and under the threat of the sharp blade, the refugees immediately stopped.
"Fuck you, you're all lined up. Those chosen by us will have food to eat and clothes to wear. Those not chosen will have no one to care about you. Those who are skilled in craftsmanship, and those who are strong, move forward. Go forward. Young girl, go forward!" Ao Canghai yelled at the top of his lungs, and soon a dark crowd of people stood in front of Li Xiao.
"Get in line! Get in line!" Ao Canghai was holding a willow branch in his hand, which was only half the thickness of his little finger. This thing definitely wouldn't hurt, but Ao Ye definitely carried forward the spirit of using the smallest amount of effort to cause the greatest pain. Xiaoliu As soon as the branch scratched his ears, the screams immediately started.
It's been freezing for several days, and many people's ears have turned purple. Being scratched by a willow branch at this time is more painful than being cut with a knife.
"What's your name?"
"Zhao Tiezhu!"
"What for!"
"The blacksmith!"
"You...! You passed the test. Get two rice dumplings over there." Li Xiao was very satisfied when he saw the first person!
This guy is a head taller than Ao Canghai, and his face is so dirty that you can’t tell his appearance, only a beard like a steel needle can be seen. To describe this guy in one word, it is big. His hands and feet are big, and his arms are thicker than Li Xiao’s legs. The legs are thicker than Li Xiao's waist. Li Xiao is very suspicious that this guy has the blood of Transformers.
When this guy heard that there was something to eat, he immediately ran to get two rice dumplings. The frozen and hard rice dumplings were not baked, and they made a "squeaking" and "squeaking" sound in his mouth. Li Xiao's teeth were sore just listening to it!
The second guy was even more aggressive. He even took off his clothes in the cold weather. He let Li Xiao see his strong muscles!
Such a fierce man must stay and wait for two rice balls to go to the beach.
There were so many people. In less than two hours, there were more than a thousand people standing behind Li Xiao. About half of these people were strong young men. The other half were skilled people.
There are only 500 girls recruited, all of whom are in their late teens or early twenties. This is the limit of what Li Xiao can support!
These people were all separated from their relatives, and some of them had relatives who were also in the team. In half a day, Li Xiao's recruitment task was overfulfilled. Seeing that there were people pouring in from a distance, Li Xiao felt
His heart was very blocked. He wanted to save them, but... he couldn't feed them.
"Hand out all the rice dumplings we brought. It's okay for everyone to be hungry. We'll have something to eat when we get to the island!" Li Xiao handed the stall to Ao Canghai and led the people to the beach.
He really didn't want to hear the sound of wild beasts snatching food!
"Who said you know how to drive a boat just now!" When he walked to the beach, Li Xiao found that the team behind him had been dragged for two miles. After waiting for a while, everyone was finally waiting.
The killers are trying hard to maintain order, not because they are afraid of people running away, but because they are afraid that someone will take the opportunity to sneak in!
"Me! There's still me!" Twenty or thirty people stood up.
"What's your name?" Li Xiao asked, pointing to the strongest one.
"My name is Liu Laoliu!"
"Liu Laoliu...! Go and distribute the people to the various ships now!"
After everyone got on the boat, Ao Canghai fled back in embarrassment. He didn't even have the cotton-padded jacket on him. He was a hard-spoken and soft-hearted guy. He scolded people more fiercely than anyone else and hit people harder than anyone else.
.But when he saw the suffering people, he was the one with the shallowest tears.
"Set the ship! Set the ship! I'm afraid I might be soft-hearted and take everyone away." Sure enough, this guy's eyes were red when he got on the ship.
This time, Li Xiao brought out all his family wealth in order to pretend to be a man. There were seven large ships, six of which were captured Japanese pirate ships. Even so, with seven ships carrying more than 1,500 people, they were basically overcrowded.
.
I don’t know why the time is always such an unlucky time. The time I landed on Phi Island was still at night. But it was already the night after a day, and I had been sailing on the sea for almost two days and one night.
When we arrived on the island, the Korean women had already cooked the rice. The huge iron pots were filled with steaming rice, and each was given a wooden board. The rice was placed on the wooden board, and the only vegetables were salted radish strips. In the middle of winter,
, the Japanese people stored a lot of radishes. Salt...! Is there a shortage of salt near the sea?
Each person was given only a large spoonful of food. These people had been hungry for too long. Li Xiao was afraid that if he let go, some of them would starve to death!
No one used chopsticks, they all grabbed it with dirty hands and ate it. With more than a thousand people gobbling it down, it was really a spectacle! The sound of chewing filled the ears, and occasionally there was the sound of someone choking and coughing.
When he walked to Zhao Tiezhu, Li Xiao was shocked. The guy's big mouth opened and a wooden board of rice was poured in. He barely saw any chewing before it disappeared. While Li Xiao was still surprised, he
Chapter completed!
