Xiao Han didn't know why at the time, until someone whispered to him: The hometown of the person you mentioned is actually Shandong.
During the Daye period, the Sui Dynasty mobilized the whole country to attack Goryeo, and hundreds of thousands of troops rushed to foreign lands!
Supplying so many large armies with food and grass became the top priority of the Sui Dynasty! Later, because of its geographical location close to Liaodong, most of the required food and grass were transported from Shandong. Under the emperor's strong orders, the army was transported level by level.
During the most difficult period, every family here only had a few days of food rations left!
However, because the autumn harvest is coming soon, Shandong can still hold it in this regard. New grain from the fields will soon come down. If they collect grain, let them collect it. Who dares to say no? Since ancient times,
If the people don't fight with the officials, they won't even be able to offend the officials, let alone the emperor!
However, who could have imagined that when all the food was being requisitioned and transported away, a heavy rainstorm that was rare in recent years would follow one after another!
It rained heavily for three days. Finally, the Yellow River burst! The thousands of miles of plains in Shandong instantly turned into swamps!
Seeing that all the grain that had already been eared was destroyed overnight, everyone was in despair! Then, howling all over the field, and the red ground for thousands of miles are not enough to describe the tragic situation!
In this world, no one comes back alive, they all come back dead...
This nonsense is so fresh and refined that people have to accept it, but even if they die, they have to die in a certain way.
People can be killed, die of illness, or even die of old age, but among the countless ways to die, the most cruel one is death from starvation! This is simply the most ruthless punishment God gives to the world!
Xiao Han has never been hungry, even when he was in the orphanage!
Although there was less care and toys there, there was never a shortage of food or anything else. How much did steamed buns cost at that time? It was a dollar and five, and a bag of pickles was enough to fill my stomach!
Therefore, he who is lucky enough to be born in modern society cannot experience or imagine the pain of starving to death!
But when he heard that the man's whole family had starved to death in front of him, Xiao Han felt that his whole body was filled with coldness.
Covering his mouth, he didn't dare to ask, and couldn't ask! How did that person survive?
Xiao Han only knew that he had had a nightmare all night! Whenever he saw that honest face in the future, he would always feel cold in his heart. Even when he greeted him, he did not dare to respond. He just waved his hand and walked away in a hurry, for fear of thinking about it again.
Those dark images.
In addition to this person, the new Qianniu Guards in Zhuangzi are also very strange. They are incompatible with the original veteran system in Xiao Han's family. No matter training, patrolling! Even eating and sleeping are different.
People in Zhuangzi now have to eat in the morning, noon and night. The habit has been developed for several months. Every time it is meal time, the fragrance of cooking smoke is always lingering in the Zhuangzi. The boys who have returned from school rush back to their homes with joy and hands.
They rush to grab food without even washing. They are exhausted from studying all morning!
Not only the children are like this, but those villagers who are not working are even more happy! Because Xiao Han is never stingy with the people in the village, not only paying wages, but also giving out benefits every now and then.
Nowadays, it is common for villagers to have a meal of meat and drink some wine at home. It is no longer the case in the past, when they drank a lot of gruel, but before going out, they would pick some oil and apply it on their lips to show off to others what they had just eaten.
Over meat.
However, no matter how carefree the people in Zhuangzi are, those Qianniu Guards who are setting up camp alone outside are still not seen. They should train and train! They should patrol and patrol. They only make pots and rice in the middle of the morning and middle of the afternoon every day.
Xiao Han once visited them while they were eating and found that these emperor's imperial guards were eating something good. Unexpectedly, after taking a look, he discovered that they were eating millet porridge with pot helmets every day!
The porridge is clear, so clear that people can be photographed! The pot helmet is so hard that it can be used as a helmet!
One time, Xiao Han couldn't stand it anymore, so he had several pots of steamed buns steamed, and all of them were given to them. Unexpectedly, the buns were returned intact in a blink of an eye. That bastard Qian Niuwei said
Annoying: Qian Niuwei will never accept outside food during his mission!
Xiao Han was so angry that he almost lifted the buns and fed them to the dog. This was the first time he had been refused food in the Tang Dynasty!
In the past, even his master, Old Man Hua, no matter how angry he was with Xiao Han, never refused the food he gave him. Unexpectedly, these bastards refused, and they deserved to eat cold food!
I don’t know how Zhang Qiang found out about this later. Xiao Han, who was already aggrieved, was laughed at by him again: He is the imperial guard, and you want to bribe him with a basket of buns? Do you really think he is a subordinate of the dog-headed general?
Xiao Han couldn't pay attention to these people whose heads were as dead as stones. Xiao Han was afraid that he would lose his life because of being angry! Just when he was about to go home and rest, he remembered that there was another guy at home who couldn't be offended, and that was Mr. Hua!
Oh, how pitiful! I don’t know if the old man took gunpowder on the battlefield or what, but every time he sees Xiao Han, he gets extremely angry!
It was obvious that he was having a good chat with Xiao Shiyi in the backyard, but Xiao Han was licking his face and just came over, when he was scolded! Xiao Shiyi was stunned and Xiao Han was extremely depressed!
Nothing has been easy to worry about recently! However, what made Xiao Han breathe a sigh of relief was:
Regarding the destruction of Taiyuan City, although there was a lot of turmoil in Chang'an in the past few days, in the court, it was just as Xiao Han expected. There were no major twists and turns, except for a few generals who jumped out and shouted.
Apart from regaining the lost territory for the Tang Dynasty, no one mentioned anything about holding people accountable.
The ministers all saw clearly that if there were to be held accountable, Li Yuanji would undoubtedly be found out, but this Li Yuan was so protective! No one wanted to get into trouble with this.
Besides, even if you hold people accountable now, it won't help at all. Instead of working hard to do a thankless thing, it's better to think about how to fight back.
Because of this, Li Shimin and the others finished the rest of the process hastily in the Ancestral Temple and were released.
Xiao Han never understood why in the Tang Dynasty, after winning a war, he was locked up like a prisoner, but when those people were released, Xiao Han might be able to understand.
After these few days of training, the generals who were angry when they returned became much calmer. When they first came back, even Xiao Lizi was like a fighting cock, let alone others. He was like a cock, but he still got on.
Leading!
But now, after being locked up for a while and then being released all at once, even Liu Hongji, who had just been able to walk around on his own, put on a little smile when he saw people, but he only had a big bald head. This smile was scary no matter how you looked at it.
Xia Rong Winter Killing, in ancient times, winter was really a difficult season. Even on the battlefield, at this time, you had to consider whether to say hello to the other party. Everyone should stop for now and go home for the New Year to recharge their batteries.
Let’s fight again next year!
There was nothing we could do. It was freezing cold outside, and the soldiers did not have suitable heating tools and clothing. In addition, after a year of fighting, not only the body was tired, but also the spirit was constantly tense!
No matter when, the flesh and blood body is not a machine after all, and even a machine must have time for oiling and maintenance, and people must have time to rest!
Therefore, even if Jinyang in the rear area was lost, Li Yuan was not in a hurry to mobilize troops to recover it! After all, with the current tired troops and equipment, if he really wanted to force his way north, he would probably suffer a lot of battle losses before reaching Taiyuan!
So after the scouts made inquiries for a long time, they found that Liu Wuzhou, who occupied Jinyang, had no intention of going south. Instead, he was busy plundering people's wealth and dividing his subordinates wantonly. Li Yuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He just ordered Li Shimin and others to train the army at this time and wait for the coming year.
