Dead!

Although there were thousands of horses marching on the meadow, this huge cavalry was lifeless, and there was no trace of life at all. Although it has been a few days, every time, there are always people who look behind them, they don't know the life or death of those behind them, they just ride their horses south in despair.

Walking along the dirt road on the grassland, step by step towards the south, the wind blowing on the grass in front of them blew the women and children on the horses did not dare to raise their heads, even because they were too tired, they would always sway unnaturally on the horses, but no one dared to complain about anything, lest they be left on the road. Those who can go south with the army are already the ancestors who have appeared.

Only a small number of people have the opportunity to leave with the army. In order to be able to get rid of the Mongols, the master finally made a decision - to leave behind the hundreds of thousands of women in the flag and leave south alone.

Of course, of course, that's not what they said, before that, the military order they got was very simple, that is, let them pack up and escort the emperor and others to the south quickly.

When they received this military order, only a few people felt abnormal, but they did not make a noise, but found horses, took their daughter-in-law and children, put on their daughter-in-law, dressed as soldiers, and escorted the emperor with the army.

No one thinks there is anything strange about this, after all, there are always people along the way who take their families into the army to take care of them, but this is only a part of the people.

When people think that it is no different from the past, they don't know that their departure is tantamount to abandoning their families, leaving them far behind. It's just that even after three days of abandoning them, they still don't know that they have abandoned their families.

They just continued to walk forward as before, at most they were worried about their families behind them and worried about their safety, but more often than not, these flag soldiers did not feel that there was anything wrong, and they would even scare the women in the army, telling them that if they could not keep up with the team, they would leave them behind, so that the naturally frightened women and children did not even dare to come out.

On the way to the march, suffering is fair to everyone, at this time, even the queen mother will be riding a horse, not like in the past sitting in a big tent pulled by a hundred oxen, everyone is riding a horse, making the speed much faster, even the family members of the dignitaries, because they are not used to riding horses, do not dare to complain about anything, after all, everyone knows that this is a flight for their lives.

Escape!

Naturally, you have to flee faster, if you run slowly, when the time comes, you will really lose your life. The only thing that can be comforting now is that since they broke away from the main army, they never seem to have been pursued by the Mongols again, and the Mongols who had been with them seemed to have disappeared and never attacked them again.

In fact, they did not know that for the Mongols, the reason why they did not attack them was because "the reward was too little", and only women could be exchanged for silver, and the Mongols were naturally more willing to attack those who were still dragged down by women and children than them. That way, they're much safer.

After walking for about five days, they finally met the first Han man on this meadow, a Han man who had come to Ordos from Shaanxi to do business, and from there, they knew that this place was only a hundred miles away from Shaanxi, and if they were fast, they could enter it in two days at most

Yulin City!

Yulin City is ahead!

The news immediately spread in everyone's mouths, and everyone seemed to have seen Yulin City, making people seem to see a savior, and they suddenly increased their courage a hundred times, and they rushed in the direction of Yulin City. At this time, no one seems to feel any tiredness, I don't know who it is, and even lit a string of firecrackers and put them on the "split, pat and pat".

This is good news that I haven't heard in a long time! After a short rest, the next morning, when the stars in the sky were still there, these people who were "like arrows" rushed to the south again, compared to the previous numbness, although everyone is still tired, but full of hope.

For them, when they say Yulin, it means life! After going through too much despair, this hope now, for everyone, is long gone, and it is enough for them to cheer and celebrate, after all, this is the first good news that people have known since leaving the capital.

The arrival of good news always gives people hope and full of hope for the future. No longer like in the past, full of despair, except for death, there is no hope at all, now not only see hope, but also the way of life is ahead, you can reach Yulin today, and you no longer need to worry about the sneak attack of the Mongols.

When the large group of people rushed to the south, I saw that gradually, the eastern sky was white, and a few dark clouds floated on the undulating mountains, which were inlaid with a circle of gold edges, which was extremely beautiful. Soon the sun jumped out of the mountains, and the sun reflected the distant sky red, and the sky was as red as blood, and the surrounding clouds also added a lot of brilliance.

At this time, the heavens and the earth were bright, and in the sun, these people walked south. The sun is setting in the west. At this time, the continuous city wall appeared in people's sight, and the side of the city wall was Shaanxi!

Although the capital has been broken and the Qing dynasty has fled north, in the northwest, most of them do not know that the Qing Dynasty has suffered a death similar to that of March 19 in the 17th year of Chongzhen.

Of course, this is probably because of the news blockade by Mo Luo, the governor of Shaanxi. Although there is occasional news from Shanxi, for the border people of Yulin, most of them are completely ignorant of the drastic changes in the world. Yulin prefect Wang Dalin is a person from the people, he is a native of Beizhili, originally he was a slave under his control, with the help of the master, he has to be out of office, and after a few years of tossing and turning, he was appointed as the prefect of Yulin. Because Yulin is located in the northwest, the place is very barren, and it has suffered from decades of famine, and it is also the place where thieves started to rebel in the past, so the local area has long been ten rooms and nine empty. Wang Dalin is capable, and he is in the prime of life, but he does not think it is bitter, but since he took office as the prefect of Yulin, more than two years of work, almost not a day idle, thinking about how to recruit displaced people, reclaiming wasteland, two years down, the population of Yulin Mansion finally broke 10,000 households, and this also made him exhausted, and for more than a year, especially after Shanxi fell into the thief, he was restless day and night, for fear that the thief would cross the Yellow River to Shaanxi and enter Yulin City. In the same way, he was more worried about the court and the safety of his masters.

This day is September 23, the weather has shown a bit of winter cold, at dusk, the sky is cloudy, thinking about the rumors that the capital has been broken by thieves for a while, Wang Dalin is thinking in his heart, only to go there to get some wine, temporarily drunk, is the plan to break the sorrow.

At this time, the Great Wall checkpoint sent someone to deliver an "urgent official document". When he received a look in his hand, Wang Dalin couldn't help but be shocked, and his eyes were the words "Emperor", and he hurriedly looked at it again, and the horizontal list was written "Queen Mother...... under the words "Emperor, Queen Mother", with a row of names, just looking at those names, Wang Dalin was frightened and breathless, these "masters" were all in the capital, how did they get to this kind of place, not only the emperor and the master came, but even the first-class members of the Great Qing Kingdom were also one! In addition, it was written in this official document: "The accompanying officers and soldiers, I don't know how much, should prepare more food, grain and grass." ”

The emperor has come to Yulin!

Then, there was news from the checkpoint, the emperor and the accompanying escorts, for the time being, did not come to Yulin today, they first lived in a guard house at the foot of the Great Wall that had been abandoned for many years, and then came to Yulin tomorrow. Wang Dalin, who received this errand, was naturally very anxious, so he hurriedly invited all his friends and officials to discuss.

"In this remote place of Yulin, there are no more than 10,000 people, and the place is so corrupt, how can we do this imperial mission?"

Looking at everyone, Wang Dalin said again.

"The imperial court will come to us early tomorrow morning, of course, in Yulin, and we must prepare overnight."

Everyone looked at each other and was silent for a long time, and everyone was there puzzled, wondering why the emperor and the court came to this place. Could it be that the previous rumors are true!

Thinking of this, almost everyone's faces changed suddenly, becoming more and more difficult to look at. If these masters over there in the capital naturally wouldn't come to Yulin from Mengdi, it seems that the capital side must have fallen into the hands of thieves!

The rumors that everyone thought were just rumors for a long time have finally become a reality, and what people have never dared to believe has been unabashedly displayed in front of people.

What do they do? Everyone didn't speak, because everyone knew why the emperor and the court came here, they fled to this place, and finally it was the criminal master who hesitated to speak.

"In my opinion, it's better to ignore it. There is no order from the superior, and with the grain and grass in our Yulin Mansion, we can't do this imperial errand, which can be said to be inevitable. ”

Looking at the crowd who seemed to be a little hesitant, he paused for a moment, and then continued.

"It's okay not to take over, once you take over, if the supply is not as good as you want, you will be severely punished, and then the Lord of Futai will be reprimanded at the least, and at worst, he will lose his life. Isn't it self-inflicted? ”
