Chapter 605: The Second Black Emperor's Years of Exile
The Son of Heaven was angry and bleeding, Guo Xing'a was not the Son of Heaven, but the consequences of his anger were also very serious. Xing Cong, a senior counselor beside Guoxing'a, led the command, and the Manchurian army in Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, Zhao-Uganda League, Zhuo Suotu League and other places attacked on all fronts, and immediately defeated Li Erhei and all the righteous troops in Liaoxi and other places. Although Goxinga still had additional orders for restraint, where could the actual use of troops still be able to hold on, the various units of the Manchurian Army that conscripted the rebel army just did not use heavy artillery, and the rest were no different from fighting against foreign enemies, so naturally the rebel army was killed and bloodied.
Li Erhei was able to escape from Chaoyang County, first of all, he had to thank his little brother Ergazi, if it wasn't for the Manchurian Army's divine soldiers descending from the sky, Ergazi desperately came to report to him, Li Erhei would have been captured alive and solved. Of course, Li Erhei also has to thank Guoxing'a and the Qing court, if it weren't for the merger of Fengtian into Northern Manchuria, Guoxing'a adjusted the border checkpoints, and Li Erhei would not have escaped into the jurisdiction of the Zhuosuotu League. However, what Li Erhei is most grateful to is the old lady who just gave him a bowl of leftovers, if there is no bowl of leftovers from the old lady, His Majesty Emperor Li Erhei will faint hungry on the third day of his escape.
After Ergazi reported the news, he waited for the Tang Emperor Li Erhei to take off the yellow jacket on his body, and then the two brothers rolled up a burden and turned it upside down. The south of Chaoyang was full of Manchurian cavalry that clashed back and forth, and the brothers did not dare to send them to death, so they could only take advantage of the lack of soldiers in the direction of Zhuo Suotumeng, and fled north in a panic. But the direction of the Zhuo Suo Tu League is not only a small number of soldiers, but even a pitiful number of people, after the emperor and the prince fled into the Zhuo Suo Tu League, except for the green wild fruit, there is no other food. Today, it was easy to find a village, but they couldn't buy food, so they had to beg to eat. When Li Erhei was the emperor, he also looted some gold and silver, and there were twenty taels of red gold and one hundred taels of silver in their baggage, but they couldn't use these gold and silver in Zhuo Suotumeng.
Zhuo Suotumeng threw himself into the arms of Manchuria a few years ago, and the upper and lower banks used Manchurian banknotes, and Li Erhei and Ergazi's silver ingots had nowhere to spend them. And because Li Erhei insisted on keeping his braids, everyone who had seen the brothers knew that they came from Fengtian. There are many people who come to Mengdong to beg for a living, and everyone doesn't care, but if the people who come to beg for a life take out the silver ingots, there will be no one who doesn't pay attention, how can the people who have silver ingots in their baggage leave their hometown to come to Manchuria to beg for a living. Now it is such a nervous time again, as soon as Li Erhei's silver ingots are revealed, I am afraid that his identity as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will be exposed immediately.
"It's not easy for you to live in Fengtian! Look at the hungry children, slow down! I'll give you another bowl of dumplings! The Mongolian grandmother who gave Li Erhei's leftovers still has the simple enthusiasm of Mongolians, and she will try her best to entertain every guest who comes to his door.
"Thank you, old lady, thank you!" His Majesty the Emperor Li Erhei tried his best to control himself, but he still choked up again and again, and Ergazi couldn't cry anymore, except for his own mother in this life, no one has treated them so well.
"Silly boy, what are you crying about! With the presence of the general and the blessing of the living Buddha, the days will get better and better! The old lady bowed to the northeast, and then, with a kind smile, went to get food for the two of them.
Seeing that the kind grandmother loved Guo Xing Ah so much, Li Erhei's heart was very uncomfortable, in his script, Guo Xing Ah should have killed himself on the top of Changbai Mountain. However, Li Erhei, who no longer has a yellow coat to wear, has not thought about it for too long, and what he should be concerned about at present is how to survive, and the matter of fighting for the world is already far away from him. The leftovers of the grandmother's house are very rich, and there are a lot of beef and mutton meat foam in it, and Li Erhei, who has only been the emperor for a few days, still cherishes it.
The old grandmother brought out two more bowls of dumplings, and baked a few meatloafs, and invited the brothers to eat with a smile. The emperor and the king of Liao were so moved that they didn't know how to express their gratitude, when a young lama rode a particularly tall horse to the door of the old woman's house.
"Granny Naren, all the orders of the town lord have come down! We, the outsiders who have recently had to strictly investigate the Mukden accent, the foolish emperor who rebelled in the south, may have fled to us! The little lama was not very polite, and sat on his horse when he spoke, but he seemed to know the old lady very well, and his tone of voice was a little mischievous.
"Oh! Little master! Got it! Grandma Naren pinched her waist and looked up at the little lama, and her tone was also talking to her grandson.
"If someone from Fengtian escapes comes, let them go to the town office! The grown-ups in the town will arrange for him, so stop making your own decisions! The little lama looked helpless.
"Oh!" The old grandmother playfully pulled a long note.
"These two people are also from Fengtian! Let them go to the town office in a moment! I'm going to the next one! The little lama looked at the emperor and the king of Liao, but he didn't particularly care.
Li Erhei and Ergazi didn't know the lama's status in the Zhuo Suo Tu League, but when the little lama's eyes swept away, the two of them were also covered in cold sweat, and they almost shrank their heads into their clothes. Fortunately, Grandma Naren would take care of the refugees from other places every day, and the little lama did not pay special attention to them.
"You take this money to buy a train ticket, and then go to Changchun!" Grandma Naren watched the little lama leave, turned around and forgot the little lama's words, took out a few yuan and handed it to Li Erhei and his brothers.
"Old lady, we can't ask for your money!" Li Erhei and Ergazi have already eaten a lot of things from Grandma Naren, but they can't pull their faces and ask her for money again.
"Take it! There's no good job at the town office! It must have been because the coal mines and forestry farms over there were short of labor, so they came up with a trick to make money for you refugees. They do this every time, and the generals and living Buddhas can't teach them well, and they always think about bullying new immigrants who don't understand the market. The work in the coal mines and forestry farms is hard and tiring, and the wages are low, don't even think about turning over after a few years of work, the work used to be done by prisoners of war and sinners, you good people must not go. Use the money to buy a train ticket to Changchun! There are a lot of jobs over there, and it is easy and you can make money, and you can buy a house and settle down in a few years! "Grandma Naren's head is almost full of light, and the old lady's heart is really not ordinary good.
"Thank you!" Li Erhei and Ergazi thanked him again and again.
His Majesty the Emperor and the King of Liao themselves didn't know where to flee, but it seemed that it would definitely not work to walk on foot like this, and the little lama would definitely not be the family of Grandma Naren, and if they walked around outside again, they would definitely be arrested and taken to the town office. If his identity is revealed, the leftovers will definitely not be eaten, but he will definitely not be able to escape from a thousand cuts. The train mentioned by Grandma Naren gave the two of them a lot of inspiration, I am afraid that the two brothers have never seen the train, but they have heard of it, and I heard that it can run thousands of miles in one night. If they escaped on such a thing, the Manchurian soldiers would definitely not be able to catch them. Although Grandma Naren's money is hot, in order to survive, the brothers can only accept it cheekily.
Grandma Naren showed the brothers the way to the train station, and the brothers bought tickets at the train station with trepidation, and the uniformed people in the station almost scared the brothers to death. Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, although there were some foreign appearances, which made others laugh a few times, but after all, his identity was not revealed, and he got on the train steadily. The brothers didn't know which station was which, and they just thought that the farther they went, the better, so they bought the lowest seats and the farthest station. After three days and three nights of hard work in the stuffy tanker, the brothers finally arrived at the station. Their hometown of Qiantun in Quang Ninh is also close to the sea, but the brothers who have been farming and doing chores all their lives have never seen the sea, and this time they saw the sea for the first time. After a long time, they learned the name of the place, which is called Vladivostok.
Walking out of the station, the brothers didn't know that it was north, and the bustling flow of people on the street made them a little panicked, and the speeding carriage also made them a little afraid. The policemen on tall horses, the Manchurian soldiers in a neat queue, and the brothers had to hide far away. The bustling streets, for these two, are tantamount to terrifying deep mountains and old forests, and every place is full of dangers. The two brothers slipped away for a while, and finally returned to the train station, where they could only find a sense of belonging.
Adult Manchurian men don't have braids, and it seems that only women and children have braids here. Li Erhei and Ergazi, who dragged their big pigtails, looked out of place wherever they went, and only a bunch of people at the station gate were their kind, because only the people in tattered clothes here had the same braids.
After the naturalization of Fengtian, there was not only turmoil, but some people who were unwilling to live in poverty also ventured into Northern Manchuria to try to make their own lives. Therefore, near the station in the main cities of North Manchuria, there are more people with braids, and this scene is very accustomed to the people of North Manchuria, after all, new immigrants enter every year. However, there is a difference in the fact that the new immigrants will have government arrangements, and these people will have to squat here, waiting for businesses and factories to be hired. There is a very strange current situation in the policy of Northern Manchukuo in dealing with the Mukden. Newcomers have to apply to become Manchurians, and they must accept some conditions from the government in order to have Manchurian nationality, but the government will allocate land and arrange jobs for them. The Mukden people automatically had Manchurian nationality, but they were not treated accordingly and became a group of free men. Li Erhei and Ergazi also mixed in with the ranks of the free people of Fengtian, they were migrant workers in the city, and they were like commodities for people to choose.
"Five cents a day, no matter how old or small, is there anyone willing to do it?" A Manchurian merchant appeared in front of Li Erhei, and his nostrils were about to turn to the sky. The Manchurians had their own sense of superiority, welcoming the newcomers with enthusiasm, but discriminating against the Mukden, who had no government arrangements and who had rebelled.
"Let's do it!" Ergazi was about to faint from hunger, and when he heard that he could earn five cents a day, he quickly pulled Li Erhei to get up.
"Single, no burden, good physique. Well! It's good, let's go! The merchant was not picky, nodded and agreed, and the emperor and the king of Liao found their first job in Vladivostok.
