Chapter 460 The Change of Western Xia (3)

The black clouds are pressing against the city and are about to urge it! It is perfect to describe the Zhongxing Mansion at this time.

In the northern land where the climate is dry and the precipitation is sparse, there are always fewer rains. Moreover, the water-shangze country where Zhongxing Fucheng is located does not rely on the weather to make a living, but thanks to the nourishment of the Yellow River, which has prompted this land not to become an endless desert Gobi.

Mo Zhejin is an old man from Zhongxing Fucheng, who runs a donkey meat hotpot. This is a craft inherited from his ancestors, and the store was also bought by his ancestors. Because of his good reputation, the business has always been booming. Even though the court's heavy tuition and miscellaneous taxes became heavier and the store's income was greatly affected, he was still able to make ends meet.

On this day, he suddenly saw a large cloud covered with clouds in the sky. He hurriedly asked his Dalang and Erlang to quickly move the tables and chairs outside the store. At the same time, he closed the wooden windows and closed the wooden doors to prevent the flying sand and stones from blowing into the inside.

Soon, fine raindrops fell one after another, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the raindrops became as thick as soybeans from the previous quicksand. Many pedestrians who had not had time to go home hid in the streets to shelter from the rain, and the donkey meat fired restaurant that Mojiji welcomed a wave of diners.

Just when the whole hall was almost unable to sit down, a group of strong men in Huyi clothes and braids were suddenly rushed in at the door. Looking at the other party's scimitar on his waist and his big bearded face.

Look at the other person's body is half wet, and it is obvious that he is here to shelter from the rain.

Mo Zhejin thought to himself that something was not good, because it seemed that the identity of the Mongols was about to emerge when people dressed up. In Xia State, the Mongols were the ancestors of the Supreme People, and they were all the common people of the Xia State. Even the powerful people dared not provoke the Mongols casually.

Now that the other party comes to their store, it is still secondary to whether to give it money after eating. Whether you can entertain it will not cause trouble is the main thing that Mo Zaijin is worried about.

In order to avoid any trouble, Mo Zhejin hurriedly stopped his two sons and took the initiative to greet him and said, "Dear guests, what do you want to eat?"

A man in deep clothes in the lead pushed Mo Zhejin away without hesitation, walked straight to the nearest table and said, "Get up!"

It was a table of merchants dressed in Huihui. Although they were very arrogant in the territory of Xia Kingdom, they were more obedient when they saw Mongolians than when they saw cats. So the other party was not angry, but asked their companions to get up very decisively. They also left behind their usual copper coins, saying that they were invited to drink from these Mongolian guests.

"You are not bad!" The Mongolian man rushed back to the merchant with satisfaction and said, "If you encounter trouble in the territory of Xia Kingdom in the future, you can report the name of the Mongolian posthouse."

The merchants of Huihui were not ignorant. They immediately thanked with a smile and respectfully avoided them. At the same time, they spent some money to let the store move out some tables and chairs, and squeezed three or two tables with other diners in the corner.

The Mongolian Post House, which is where the Mongolian envoys came to the Xia Kingdom. Although at first Alahaibeji wanted to learn from the Ming Kingdom and send permanent envoys to Jin and Xia Kingdom. First, it was to facilitate the collection of intelligence, and second, it was to intimidate the anti-Mongol factions of the two countries.

However, because the main Mongolian forces fought westward at that time, both Jin and Xia countries refused the entry of Mongolian envoys for various reasons. It was not until recently that the main Mongolian forces returned that Xia countries had to take the pressure from Mongolia and accept the entry of envoys.

After eating and drinking for a while, the rain outside came and went quickly. The diners here left without waiting for the rain to stop completely. It was hard for Mo Zhejin to keep anything, because there were those Mongolian diners at the table, and the other diners were uneasy.

It was not until a group of soldiers wearing armor suddenly rushed out of the store that Mo Zhejin stopped these troubled thoughts.

"The emperor has an order. Mongolian Tartars are no different from beasts. If they are punished for death!" As soon as they finished speaking, the Mongolian diners at the tables were chopped over. Since the Xia Kingdom had a clear advantage in numbers, the battle soon came to an end.

Mo Zhejin didn't dare to stay for too long. He took his son and ran away from the back door as soon as the soldiers rushed in. And the diners who walked slowly died under the sword. Mo Zhejin took his wife and children out of several alleys before he dared to look back.

Just as I saw the direction of the store, there was already a fire in the sky.

Now, he was even more scared.

"Officials, we ran away in a hurry and didn't take anything. How can we live in the future?" Mo Zhejin's wife Wang said with a sad face.

There are many people in the family, two sons and three daughters, two sons have married, and they all have children. One of the three daughters is married, but two young ones have just settled for a marriage. Now that this is the case, the marriage may be ruined.

After all, the families who were engaged at the beginning valued their generous bride price.

"Let's find a place to stay first!" Mo Zhejin had no good way, so he just dealt with the troubles in front of him first.

"Dad, why don't we go to Ming Kingdom to take a look. We can't stay in Zhongxing Prefecture. And according to the cruel officials who drink human blood, I'm afraid that the documents that want us will soon spread to all prefectures." Erlang, who was Mo Zhejin, suggested.

If you ask how the administration of the Xia State is, these lower-class people have the most say. They are used to being arrogant and do good deeds on weekdays, and they are not even too late for ordinary people to hide. Even the emperors like Zhongxing Fucheng are no different from other places.

Therefore, if you want to escape, you can only escape from the territory of Xia Kingdom.

"But is it easy to go to Mingguo?" Mo Zhejin was a little suspicious.

Although the journey to Ming Kingdom is quite peaceful now, and as long as you join an immigrant business, you can pass Ming Road when you go to Ming Kingdom. But thinking that Ming Kingdom is far away and it is another strange country, it is still daunting.

"Dad! Everyone is fighting for a way out, so why not just listen to your second brother!" Dalang saw Mo Zhejin hesitating, and took the initiative to persuade him.

But the two sisters were even more active and said, "Dad, we can still go to the factory to work after we go to Mingguo. We can also get some subsidies for our family at that time."

While Mo Zhejin's family was making difficult decisions, the central city and the entire Xia Kingdom ushered in a tough purge of the Mongols. Anyone who had any connection with the Mongols was punished for treason. There were countless innocent people like Mo Zhejin's family.

But the most unlucky ones are the returning merchants.

Because there are not many Mongolians who actually come to Xia Kingdom, but there are many Hui people who do business under the name of Mongolia. Usually, the government of Xia Kingdom dare not touch them, but this time it is a good time to slaughter fat sheep.

The envoys on the Ming Dynasty paid close attention to the arrest. Many Hui merchants asked to come to the Ming Dynasty in order to change camps and avoid being affected by the fish.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty is not doing charity business, so naturally it requires merchants to buy their lives with money, which also made a big profit in the Ming Dynasty. There are also many people in Xia Dynasty who spend money to immigrate to the Ming Dynasty. Most of these are wealthy families who are implicated. This time, they were targeted by the magistrates of the broken family, so they could only spend money to buy their lives to avoid disaster.
