Chapter 696: Please close your eyes when it gets dark
Niu Fu is not the only one who is also worried about food and grass. There is a group of people in Qingzhou who are also worried about food.
Strictly speaking, there are no high mountains on the ground in Qingzhou. Even Mount Tai is actually a short person in front of other mountains. It's just that on this ground, if you choose a taller one among the short people, there is no point in climbing Mount Tai and minimizing the world.
words...
If we really take it seriously, the altitude of Mount Tai, haha...
But now, Guan Hai and Ku Chu have no ambition to climb high and look far away. Although they look different, the expressions on their faces are almost exactly the same, a grimace.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were originally led by Zhang Niujiao and Bu Yi, but after the defeat of the three Zhang Jiao brothers, Zhang Niujiao saw that the momentum was not right, so he fled with a group of troops to the Black Mountains of the Taihang Mountains and became the Black Mountain bandits.
But Bu Ji was bitten by Huangfu Song and couldn't get rid of it. Finally, he was defeated in Cangting in Dongjun. Commander Bu Ji was captured alive. Later, Huangfu Song and the Yellow Turban prisoners were slaughtered together, and they were destroyed from then on.
Afterwards, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans failed to recover. Later, the imperial troops were transferred away, and Guan Hai and Ku Chu came out again to gather the scattered troops and became the commanders of the remaining Qingzhou Yellow Turban troops.
Qingzhou was not a geomantic treasure land in the Han Dynasty. Because the river flows into the sea from Qingzhou, water conservancy issues have always been the most important issue in Qingzhou. If it is managed well, it will be fertile soil on both sides of the bank. If it is not managed well, it will be two vast oceans...
Moreover, because there are a large number of hills on the Qingzhou Peninsula, there are not many fertile fields suitable for farming. In addition, during the Han Dynasty, the sediment carried by the rivers was not able to accumulate large tidal flats at the sea. Therefore, apart from salt and fishing, Qingzhou basically
There is nothing more valuable than that.
As for the fishery, the vast majority of fishermen in Qingzhou can only live with one full stomach in the end. It is simply impossible to pickle the fish and sell it far away, not to mention the salt industry.
The imperial court received it, or it was under the control of a large family. For ordinary people, although Qingzhou produces salt, they still cannot afford salt...
Therefore, although the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were once suppressed by Huangfu Song, with the transfer of imperial troops, the people of Qingzhou who could not survive in the first place still could not survive.
What to do if there is no food?
Most people will hide their food in a panic, and some will snatch all the edible things. When everyone's selfishness and ugliness are exposed, they will be left staring blankly, counting on everyone.
Waiting for others to come, all trying to take advantage, but in the end there is nothing left...
Guan Hai and Ku Chu didn't want to be Yellow Turbans anymore, but many of their former subordinates came to the door again, pleading and saying that if they didn't come out to lead, everyone would have no way of living, no food or clothing.
How else to survive?
In desperation, Guan Hai and Kunwei raised their flags again and occupied the hilltop. They originally wanted to find some way for everyone to survive, but they did not expect that the poor people from all over the country gradually gathered together, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans
It’s like rolling a snowball again, getting bigger and bigger.
But the number of people is large, but the combat effectiveness cannot be forced...
The most important thing is that there are more people, and the food consumption is not small. Even if they are ordinary people who are used to poverty, even the black vegetable wowotou is like delicacies, but after all, no matter what, you still need to have some dry goods.
Otherwise, the person will not be able to endure it, and will be like a burnt-out oil lamp. Finally, when the bit of oil in the bones is boiled away, it will be considered the end.
Guan Hai and Kuan Hai are now squatting together, pulling out the grass roots without washing them, flicking them with their hands, blowing on them, and putting them in their mouths. Although it is a bit bitter, there will still be some sweetness at the end of chewing.
It's a nice little snack. If it weren't for the fact that the hilly area was where Guan Hai and Kushu discussed matters together, it's hard to say that this piece of sweet grass would have been cleared away long ago.
"Let's do it?" The bitter grasshopper chewed the grass foam in his mouth until it was tasteless and spit it on the ground, and then said.
Guan Hai remained silent for a while before saying: "It's not easy to step back after taking this step..."
Although the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have now re-established their signboard under Guan Hai and Ku Chu, they have always been under the control of Guan Hai and Ku Chu. They are not like the three brothers Zhang Jiao and the surrounding counties and counties.
The enemy attacked the fort, and the most they did was to encircle rather than attack, and extort some money and food. There were more bandits than rebels. Therefore, although the surrounding counties and counties reported to the court one after another, no county was captured by Guan Hai and Kuji.
, the court didn’t bother to pay attention.
Now someone comes to the door and brings five carts of grain and grass, saying it is a deposit. Regardless of whether Guan Hai and Ku Chu are willing to obey the order, it is regarded as a gift. If Guan Hai and Ku Chu are willing to obey the order, there will be a follow-up meeting of grain and grass.
Send it...
The request is to let Guan Hai and Ku Chu take the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to Yanzhou.
Naturally, going to Yanzhou is not a self-guided tour. We gathered in the hilly area of Qingzhou. It was not an area under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it was not within the scope of the four major salt dealer families in Qingzhou. Therefore, we have always been in peace. We occasionally take some food and grass.
The surrounding counties and counties also regard it as a waste of money and disaster relief, and as long as they don't come every day, they will accept it. But if you leave this area now, let alone the counties and villages that you have to pass on the official road, it is just a killing knife, and you want to put it down again.
It’s not that simple anymore…
There is a huge difference between people who have seen blood and those who have not. Guan Hai and Kugui have experienced too much and have seen too many of these things.
The bitter grasshopper sighed: "Otherwise? A lot of people died last winter... Do we still have to watch the old man go into the mountains by himself this winter?"
Guan Hai was speechless.
In order to ensure that young people, including their children, have more opportunities to survive, last winter when there was really not much food to eat, many old people silently left their children and walked into the mountains on their own initiative, never to come out again.
"...Let's do it..." Guan Hai finally nodded, hoping that the man could keep his word, although he also knew that in fact, the words of these officials...
What else?
Just take it one step at a time.
At least now there is something to eat, which can help more elderly people survive this winter.
As for the future...
Ha ha ha ha.
Guan Hai looked up at the sky and closed his eyes.
God, when will we give people like us a way to survive?
We are not afraid of suffering or tiredness. We just hope that when we are done suffering and tired, we don’t have to cry anymore, and we don’t have to dry up the tears and dry up the blood...
Oh my god...
Open your eyes...
By the way, have God's eyes ever been opened? I saw an old news story some time ago, saying that a woman in pink clothes, simply dressed, went to Wangfujing and bought whatever she wanted. The counter girl went crazy and lined up with her goods to let her go.
Selection... The media immediately went crazy, thinking that the big shot was acting willful again... Some said it cost 2 million, some said it cost 5 million... Later, someone came forward to refute the rumor, saying that it was just an ordinary white-collar woman.
, because I was diagnosed with cancer, I really couldn’t think about it, so I used my credit card limit of 150,000 to spend money for the last time... People’s lifespan really doesn’t need to be too long, in the end it’s all about suffering, the hidden dangers of falling behind when you were young.
, will all break out in old age... As the weather changes, the author's frozen shoulder begins to hurt again... Isn't this pain accumulated in youth...
