Chapter 658 Dashun's place to live

In April, although the weather is still a little chilly, the plain is already green. In the fields between irrigation, there are people busy farming everywhere.

These people are dressed in Han people. When they occasionally get up and move their waists, even if their waists are sore, they still have smiles on their faces.

This joy comes more from expectations for crop harvest.

“This year is another good year!”

Li Qing was so happy that he grabbed a handful of soil, and once he grabbed the soil, it turned into a ball, full of water.

"That's right, such a good soil moisture, how can the year be bad!"

Li Mantun, not far away, smiled.

"It doesn't matter whether the soil moisture is good or not. As long as there is water in the Yellow River, our land will not worry about harvest."

"Hey, you said, if there is such water in our hometown, would we still have to leave our hometown and walk so far?"

Li Qing's words turned Li Mantun into a mute, and he looked to the south.

"Da Qingzi, how many days did we leave when we left home?"

"A month is about it, otherwise it will be longer, and I can't remember it anyway."

Three years ago, Li Qing and Li Mantun carried their luggage rolls and walked on the long Huangtu Village Road. Until now, they all remember that their father and mother stood on the high hurdle, looking at the two people who were leaving with tears in their eyes.

Let me add that I have been using a book reading app recently, [app] has many books, all books, and fast updates!

Even until now, I can't help crying.

"Mantun, you must be alive..."

Living in my hometown in northern Shaanxi, I don’t know how many people starved to death over the years. If there is a way out, who will escape?

Li Qing still remembers that day, when he turned around and saw his mother on the high knot. He knelt down at her and kowtowed to her:

"Mom! Go back!"

Then he turned around and left without looking back...

I don’t know whether my mother is alive or dead now.

"Did you miss home?"

"Can you not think about it?"

"Yes, who doesn't miss home!"

After a long sigh, both of them looked silently in the direction of their hometown. Occasionally, people in the fields looked up to the south like them.

Most of the people who farmed on the Hetao Plain escaped from Shaanxi three years ago. The Shun Army, who guarded Chang'an three years ago, did not choose to stick to the situation, but fled north to outside the pass. When they fled north, hundreds of thousands of people either took the initiative or were threatened to escape all the way to Hetao.

From Ordos to Hetao, there were millions of Han people living in Shaanxi, many of whom were fled to famine like Li Qing and others. Compared with Shaanxi, which had been severe drought for many years, Hetao, which was irrigated by the Yellow River water, was simply the south of the Yangtze River outside the border, and there was no need to worry about drought.

Such a good place, go there!

But no matter how good it is, it is not home!

But staying at home will starve to death!

In the end, Li Qing and the others sighed and continued to work. Just as they were working, hundreds of riders were escorting a group of people over there and walked along the dirt road.

"Look, the government army is escorting the woman back..."

Official army!

The so-called "official army" is actually the "Shun Army". These Shun Army were led by Li Guo and others from the capital, escaped from Shaanxi, and even Jiang Yan and others from Datong. Although the members were complicated, there were still as many as 300,000, which was even more than the Eight Banners Army that occupied the local area. However, despite this, the two families did not have a conflict.

After all, for them, the Ming army was more threatening. Not only did Dorgon not stop the Shun army from fleeing to the grassland, he even specially set a large area in Hetao for them to recuperate. This is also the reason why Li Guo sent someone to pick up the Shun army in Shaanxi to withdraw to Hetao.

It is also here that hundreds of thousands of Shun troops were not only resettled, but also each of them also received dozens of acres of land. Even if they were all assigned wasteland, they still woke up from their dreams and were wrapped in danger and were forced to get away from the thief, but they never thought they would be assigned to the land one day.

However, all this was not without a price. As a price, the Shun Army sent a hundred thousand troops to cooperate with Dorgon's western expedition to Kazakhstan.

Of course, they also received rewards. For example, every once in a while, Shunjun would escort a large number of women back home, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. What do these women do?

"Oh, I actually brought the people here at this time. Now is the time when I don't want to accept it. If you have food, I'll change my wife..."

Li Mantun stared at the women escorted by cavalry in the distance, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Didn't the government say that you can owe it first. It's not too late to pay it back after collecting the food. It's just a little interest..."

"That's right, I owe it first, it depends on the soil moisture conditions this year. Today's harvest will definitely be quite good..."

"It's worth a dozen stones of food to replace a little lady..."

For a moment, the men who were working in this field were staring at the alien women in the distance full of alien style. They were all prisoners who were plundered during the Western Expedition. After being sent here, in addition to some of them being rewarded to the soldiers, a considerable number of them would become wives of immigrants and have children for them.

This is also a solution. After all, many people here are bachelors. Without these women from different races, they would not be able to reproduce here.

When the bachelors in the fields stare at the women, Yang Shuwei, who was riding on the horse, would look at the field from time to time. The farmers working in the fields include the people who fled, as well as the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who were eliminated in the army. After three years of cultivation, millions of acres of fertile land have been reclaimed here.

This place is a great place!

pity……

Unfortunately, it's not a place to stay for a long time!

"As sooner or later, the government army will fight to Hetao. If we stay in Hetao, we will really die without a burial place."

The general's words appeared in his mind, Yang Shuwei's face seemed quite helpless. Could such a good thing be thrown here so freely?

Official army?

Since the big guys escaped outside the pass, the government army seemed to have not taken them in their hearts. The government army... Maybe they really forgot about them.

But Yang Shuwei was unsure. After all, the Emperor Qian Sheng was a vengeful lord and even a person who held grudges. Otherwise, so many demoted officials in Beijing would not have just chopped their heads directly and hung them on the city wall.

That master...will he forget these surrendered generals?

It's unlikely!

If they call me, there may be no way out for them!

But even if you escape again, where can you escape?
