Somewhere in the Jingshi, on a fork in the road where Hu Guang was heading to Mangui's command camp, he saw a large group of soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division shouting something in the distance on the street on the left. In front of them, although they were blocked, they could see that there seemed to be a lot of people over there.

One of the advantages of his rounds was that no one knew he was coming, so he saw them undisguised. There was such a big movement over there, it was obvious that something was going on.

Hu Guang frowned, and as soon as he pulled the reins, he wanted to turn his horse and move forward.

Gao Shiyue had already followed the emperor's gaze to see the situation over there, and when she saw that the emperor wanted to go over, she hurriedly stopped and admonished: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the situation is over there, wait for the slave maid to send someone to check the arrangement before driving?" ”

When Hu Guang heard this, he waved his hand casually and said: "This is in the Jingshi City, I have your protection, what can I do?" Don't worry, go! ”

The emperor didn't listen to persuasion, and Gao Shiyue had no choice, so he had to signal Fang Zhenghua with his eyes and ask him to protect the emperor.

As soon as the two hundred or so horses started running, the sound of horses' hooves became a little louder. Before they could get closer, the people on the other side turned their heads to look at the sound.

As soon as Gao Shiyue waved his hand, two attendants on the side drove their horses to speed up, ran over first, and shouted at the same time: "The emperor has arrived, everyone kneel to welcome!" ”

One of the main tasks of these two men was to urge all the soldiers over there to lay down their blades and weapons, just in case.

Seeing Huang Luo's umbrella and listening to the eunuch's shrill voice, in this Jingshi City, even if he didn't know in advance, he understood that no one would pretend to be there, and it must be the arrival of the Ming Emperor.

After the initial stunned, under the reprimand of the two eunuchs, the people over there put down their swords one after another, and they all knelt down to greet them.

Seeing the people in front of him kneeling down, Hu Guang was on the tall horse again, and suddenly saw that on the side of the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities, there were countless people wearing ordinary clothes.

It was close, and Hu Guang was stunned. These people looked abnormal, wearing all kinds of clothes to keep out the cold, but even so, there were many people whose bodies were not enough to withstand the cold of this harsh winter, and the whole person knelt there and shivered.

Also, these people are unkempt, even if some of them are more decently dressed, and it is clear that they have not been dealt with for many days. Everyone's face, none of them are normal. Seeing this, one word naturally comes to mind: refugees!

After Hu Guang arrived, Le Ma stopped, and Fang Zhenghua and other attendants hurriedly stepped forward, no more than him, but as close as possible, his spirit was tense, and his eyes were fixed in front of him, like an eagle's eye scanning the possible prey.

It's a square, but it's already crowded. At the entrance of several streets on the outside of the square, there were refugees and soldiers from the Five Cities Terracotta Division. Now, of course, they are all on their knees.

Hu Guang's gaze swept over, and suddenly the pupils in his eyes shrank. He saw that on the side of the refugees facing him were many people lying motionless on the ground, men, women and children, mostly old and weak, who had apparently been dead for a long time.

When he was about to say something, a child suddenly shouted in fear on the silent street: "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you, wake up, mother......"

Most of the people present heard the voice and knew what was going on. They were either numb, or because the emperor was coming, they all knelt and did not dare to move. Even the people around the child didn't dare to move.

Hu Guang looked at the sound and saw a child wrapped in various fabrics, and a thinly dressed woman was crooked on one side, lying on the ground, obviously unconscious.

When he saw that no one was moving, he immediately roared angrily: "Why are you still stunned? Don't save people yet! ”

When Hu Guang yelled at him at the last time, he was at the attendants beside him. Suddenly, one of the chamberlains immediately turned over and dismounted, walked quickly past the slightly commotion crowd, reached the child's side, picked up the woman who had fallen to the ground, examined it for a moment, and then said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, she is caused by hunger and cold, and she must be warmed and eaten as soon as possible." ”

Or Hu Guang's performance just now gave the refugees a little more courage, so when the waiter's voice fell, the first voice in the crowd suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty, save me and other grass people!" ”

When the first sound sounded, the second, third, and then countless voices rang out: "Your Majesty, save us!" ”

After the refugees finished speaking, many of them could no longer hold back and began to cry.

In the middle of these words, many people who were already about to die, who could have squeezed to get warmer, now knelt separately because of the arrival of the emperor, and without the slightest warmth for warmth, they were blown by the cold north wind, and they were all planted on the ground and fainted.

Among these people, it is good that they have relatives around them, because they have a prior example, they can also help them down, so as not to lie on the cold ground. And those who have no relatives or whose relatives are not with them are lying on the cold ground like that.

Hu Guang looked at this scene and suddenly remembered an incident in the memory of Emperor Yuan Chongzhen, that is, Ma Maocai's "Preparation for Chen's Great Hunger". What is written on this piece of music is simply hell on earth.

Although what I saw now was not so miserable, but now I saw with my own eyes that a life could disappear in front of my eyes in an instant, and this was still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the Jingshi City. That is far away in Shaanxi, I am afraid that what is written on the song is far from the actual situation.

If his soul penetrated into the ordinary people of Shaanxi, thinking about the tragic ending that his parents, brothers and sisters would encounter one by one, Hu Guang couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to think about it at all.

He looked at the crowd shivering in the cold wind in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little sour, and a little painful. People's hearts are flesh and blood, not to mention that Hu Guang is still the soul of later generations.

At this moment, what he thought and thought, he couldn't help but secretly swear in his heart that even if there was no pressure of systematic erasure, he must do his best to change the history of hell on earth at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Ding, the system has detected that the subjective initiative of the host Zhongxing Daming has reached the standard, and it is hereby reminded that since the third year of Chongzhen, the drought in the north of Daming has become more serious and has affected the northern provinces. Please prepare in advance! ”

Hu Guang was speechless when he heard it, Chongzhen's three years was more than ten days later. But Jianzhen is still wreaking havoc in Beijing, according to the progress of history, when Jianyu is out of the customs, the land of Gyeonggi will be restored to calm, and Chongzhen will be halfway through the three years. This hint is not much different from having it or not.

Well, I don't care about this beforehand, let's solve the matter in front of me first. Hu Guang thought so, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Why are you still stunned, all of them are saving people." ”

In the middle of the square, there are several fires to keep warm. However, the space is limited, and it is occupied by some able-bodied refugees. It's just that now that the emperor has spoken, those who have treated him have easily approached the fire after hugging him.

Hu Guang retracted his gaze, looked at the few officials kneeling in the front, and his eyes were a little cold: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
