The massacre of the Han people in Liaodong lasted until the first month, during the Spring Festival when the Han people were the most solemn and festive, the Jurchen Eight Banners and the left and right wings of the Mongols almost did not seal the knife, and the village fort was killed, and in less than two months, a large number of Han people were slaughtered, and those who were lucky enough to not die began to flee with death.

Of course, the Jurchens did not have the ability to do a census, but in the fifth year of the Apocalypse to the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Han people of Liaodong who survived the earlier war were almost all killed, and the rest were all compiled into Zhuang Ding. It was not until Huang Taiji was the Khan throne that the status of the Han people was gradually improved, and the Han people slowly recovered their vitality, and when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they were organized into the Eight Banners of the Han Army, but by that time the Han people were all willing to surrender, willing to fight for life and death for the Qing Dynasty, and entered the customs to rob the good slaves of the world.

Between February and March, the massacre gradually stopped, not because the upper class was soft-hearted, but that the goal had been basically accomplished, at this time there were no free people in the land of Liaodong ruled by the Later Jin, and all the people were slaves, the Han people were the slaves of the Jurchens, the Jurchens were the slaves of the Niu Lu Ezhen, the Niu Lu Ezhen were the minions of the Gushan Ezhen, the Gushan Ezhen were the minions of the banner lord Baylor, and there was the big Baylor above the small Baylor, and all the big Bayles were the minions of Nurhaci alone.

At this time, the whole system of the Houjin is the country of the standard slave tribal system, extremely backward, all the things that can be called civilization come from the nutrients in the Ming system absorbed in the past two hundred years, this group of Tungusic people who came out of the northern dense forest, after more than two hundred years of development, finally absorbed enough nutrients at this time node at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and finally evolved to the level where a slave state can be established.

Another reason is that there was another large-scale food shortage in Liaodong!

Since the second half of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, there has been a continuous drought, with severe snowstorms in the winter, not a drop of rain in the spring, and by March the harvest in many fields has been clearly lost.

Originally, there was a spring famine at the turn of spring and summer, such a serious disaster would only exacerbate the degree of spring famine, and in March of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the land of Liaodong was already full of food, this time not only the Han people could not eat, even the serious soldiers and bannermen under the Jurchen banner also fell into a famine, there was only a small amount of grain in the public to supply the Eight Banners, most of the grain was in the hands of the upper magnates, they were all the same tricks as the Han grain merchants, only released a small amount of grain to raise the price of grain, in February, The grain in Liaoyang City is already 221 stones, and it is often priceless.

In March, even if the Jurchen high-level really put grain, there is not much food to put, last winter when the heavy snow closed the road Hutchison's food convoy almost stopped, until now although a small scale of recovery, a small amount of grain has been bought by the Mongolian tribes along the way at a high price, the Mongols are not as rich as the Jurchens, fortunately they have a large-scale herd, the Mongolian tribes in the east did not encounter large-scale wars, the herd is relatively intact, they use a large number of cattle and sheep in exchange for food, and then are directly driven away by Hutchison's people, Sometimes the grain team can't get to Horqin, so they turn back directly.

After the grain shortage was serious, the upper Jurchen class realized that killing people was useless, and they had killed the Han people, and all the Han people who were farming and doing miscellaneous labor were killed, but even if they were killed, the food gap was still quite large...... In fact, the Jurchens have also been farming, fishing and hunting and picking pine cones are just auxiliaries, the Jianzhou Department can become stronger, and unify the Jurchen tribes, the reason is that the Jianzhou Department was civilized earlier, and accepted the civilization of the Han people earlier, using various agricultural tools for arriving, buying grain and seeds through the trade of Fushun and Kuandian horse markets, as well as cultivating cattle, at least in the grandfather period of Nurhachi, the Jianzhou Ministry bought cattle and seeds through the horse market There are many records, and the Ming Dynasty in order to appease the Jurchens, Sell ploughing cattle and farm tools to these barbarians at a fairly low price, and then give them salt and iron tools, and also give a reward of silver, and what they get in exchange is only the Jurchen Dongzhu fished out of the river plus ginseng in the forest, some prey furs, horse market trade, fat is the generals and officials of Liao Town, the interests of the Ming people are harmed, and the strength of the Jianzhou Department is strengthened. Judging from various records, Nurhachi not only knows how to farm, but is also quite good at ......

In March, the big men from Liaoyang City were inspecting everywhere, and the chief military officers, judges, and officials of each capital, as well as the Gushan Ezhen and Jiala Ezhen of each banner, were all riding horses and patrolling the farmland around.

Tabai also walked through the three villages under his jurisdiction, his face full of confusion and sadness.

He had just been beaten hard by the little Beledeg, and the wheat fields here were generally reduced or even close to being cut off, and the wheat on the ground was either deflated or simply untained, and the straws were very long, and many places were lodging.

The fields are very dry, the weather is still very cold, the weather in Liaodong is still below zero in the third month of the lunar calendar, the soil in the wheat field is still frozen, the temperature rises at noon and then melts away, there are some ice chips at the root of the wheat pole, generally every Zhuang Ding has to plant thirty acres of land, after the lack of manpower, the cattle have not increased, there is abandoned land everywhere, the Jurchens also have to farm, including the armored soldiers, only Baijia and Ge Bush Xian do not need to farm, but Baijia also has its own family and allocated arable land, Baijia generally has a well-to-do family, and they also have Baoyi to help them farm, and they also need to hand over the fields to the Gongzhong, but the survival pressure of Baijia and Bashiku is much smaller than that of ordinary Armor and Yu Ding.

There are barren or barren farmland everywhere, and production is decreasing everywhere, this is the case in every Guanzhuang, every Niulu, every Jiala to every banner, and almost everywhere in all the reclamation areas of Liaodong and Liaozhong.

Apocalypse five to six years, a whole year or more Liaodong and the Ming Dynasty have experienced the same super-large-scale food shortage, the Ming side is full of hungry people and homeless people, even the border army is often not paid for several months, and there are many people who ask their wives to go out as semi-closed doors to sell themselves to make money, at this time, because the court still has some relief, the salary can be sent down for a while, the border army still maintains basic stability, the people can also be begged as homeless people, and the big households and the government also open warehouses for relief in order to stabilize the place, in these two years, The Ming survived the famine, while in Liaodong, in the fifth to sixth year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi first slaughtered and then resorted to other methods to survive the worst famine.

Tabai didn't know the Great Khan's plans at this time, let alone understand the direction of history, in the eyes of this Niu Lu Ezhen, everything in front of him was a barren, more than a dozen Guanzhuang two or three hundred Ding were responsible for the defense of more than 20 miles of land in front of him, and there were more than 160 Ding Han people, everyone's food depended on these lands in front of him, but in addition to the reduction of production is the end of the harvest, his heart was also full of despair.

Each Niu Lu has the task of handing over grain every year, and there are also regulations for handing over various special products, all of which have been stipulated since the day of the establishment of the official village, and once it is not completed, he will be whipped and reprimanded for the light, and he will be dismissed or even beheaded.

Li Mingli stood at the foot of the high slope and watched Tabai leave with a sad face. He was clothed in cotton armor, with a bowstring on his back, two quivers hanging from his waist to the left and right, a sword at his waist, a tiger tooth gun beaten of fine iron in his hand, a warm hat on his head, and most of his head was shaved, except for a small braid on the back of his head.

Judging from his appearance and outfit alone, he is no different from a serious Jurchen armor.

If the Han people don't carry the flag, they are not qualified to wear cotton armor, and Li Mingli deliberately dressed up like this, of course, he also deliberately distinguished himself from ordinary Han people's clothing, and even from those ordinary flag-carrying bannermen.

"Li Mingli, do you have all the food you want to hand in?" Tabu Bag wears a pointed felt hat, wears a Mongolian-style blue robe, carries a riding bow, holds an iron spear, and has as many as three or four quivers on his body, he is a standard Mongolian cavalry dress, there is obviously chain mail in the robe, at this time the iron armor shortage of the Jurchen armor is still about two to three percent, and there are even quite a lot of armor soldiers without horses, the Mongols generally only have horses and jackets, and there is still a symbol of status with chain mail in the body.

"Three fights." Li Mingli said: "It's almost done." ”

"Yes." Tabu Nang said: "You have the Han brother surnamed Cao to help you." ”

After a year, Cao Zhenyan came twice and brought some food, and the entire pine tree knew Cao Zhenyan, knowing that Li Mingli and Cao Zhenyan were brothers, and Cao Zhenyan was saved by Li Mingli on the battlefield, so he often came to help, which made many people envious.

Li Mingli smiled slightly, not explaining too much.

Tabu Nang said a little upset: "We patrol back and forth every day by this big river, and we haven't caught a few spies for two months, but the Han people who want to escape across the river have caught hundreds, and I don't know when there will be a battle." ”

Li Mingli said with a smile: "Lord Zhang Jing is different from ordinary Mongolians, and he has a strong desire to fight. ”

The general left and right wing Mongols are bankrupt herdsmen who have no herds on the grassland, or escaped criminals, or wandering horse thieves, as well as Tatar officials who betrayed the Ming Dynasty, anyway, they are a group of bastards without discipline, how can they have any loyalty and honor at all, here in Houjin, one is forced by the force of the Eight Banners and the cruelty of the Later Jin military discipline, and the other is that there is nowhere to go, run over to eat, they are the same as the foreign feudal Mongolians who came to join them, and the status of the Han people in the eyes of the Jurchen Eight Banners is the same, It's just that on the surface, it is one level higher than the Han Chinese.

The left and right wings of the Mongols also had their own official villages, and the ordinary soldiers also had the same task of handing over the fields and grain to the Gongzhong, and while Nurhachi distributed grain to the Jurchens, the labor of the Han and Mongols became more and more onerous.

Even if it is a cow like Tabu Nang, the burden is not small, and in the eyes of Allah, Zhang Jing of his status is not much higher than the flag carrying the flag.
