Chapter 176: The Support Fleet Arrives

Song Tao ran over with a few special combat team members and found Wang Haiyang and several soldiers repairing the fence.23 Looking at the corpses on the ground and the blood stains all over the ground, Song Tao patted Wang Haiyang on the shoulder.

"Hold on for a few more days, and the company's support will arrive soon. You continue to be vigilant, and in the event of an accident, do not be relentless. We will also come to support immediately. ”

Song Tao ran back to the shore, came to Li Ming, who was busy, and said anxiously: "Dude, it can't go on like this, the hungry people can't be controlled these days." Now we can only eat one gruel a day, and if we run out of food, we can all be eaten by them. Paralyzed, we might as well be ruthless at the beginning......"

When he said this, he couldn't say anything anymore, Li Ming turned around and smiled bitterly: "How ruthless can you be, can you just watch them starve to death, no matter what, you have to hold on, and the company also needs a large population now."

Although these hungry people are emaciated, you don't find that they are all young men and women, and the old people and children may not have survived this winter. Although the number of immigrants this time is huge, once the company digests it, it will have an immeasurable effect on our long-term development.

This is also an opportunity for our company, once another two or three months, Yuan Chonghuan will kill Mao Wenlong, and then we will have to immigrate in Dongjiang Town in a few years. Moreover, we have saved the people of Dongjiang Town from fire and water twice in a row, and our influence in Dongjiang Town will be greatly increased in the future.

Moreover, we also gathered the families of those grassroots soldiers in Dongjiang Town, and I planned to wait for Mao Wenlong to be killed, and let Wang Bo win over those people. Then train them and let them go to Luzon in the winter with the fleet of the Admiralty. Use them to counterbalance the pirates of He Wu, and they will be the fangs and claws of our company in Southeast Asia in the future. ”

Song Tao smiled and said: "You are too ruthless, if these low-level generals are all brought by you, then the backbone of the Ming army in Dongjiang Town will be pulled out by you." I estimate that if Mao Wenlong dies, no matter how Yuan Chonghuan appeases Dongjiang Town, at least for a few months, Dongjiang Town will definitely be in turmoil. At this time, we can definitely succeed in winning them, and their wives and children are still in our hands. ”

Suddenly. Another burst of gunfire could be heard in the distance. The two of them turned their heads sharply and found that there had been another stampede of hungry people in the depths of the camp, but the gunfire had not stopped.

They immediately ran over and found that something was wrong. A whole large area of fenced barbed wire. Because this time has been constantly pushed down. It's very fragile now, and standing there is really just an ornament.

How can a squad guarding here control so many crazy hungry people at once. Countless people rushed out. These hungry Liao people are very sensitive, and once someone makes a noise, they will let them blindly follow and run around.

In fact, as long as there is enough food for them to eat a few full meals, they will recover after a few days of cultivation. But now the food is very tight, and there is only one gruel a day to hang their last breath.

Li Ming and Song Tao took out the AK74 and knocked down a few of the leading people, and threw two more tear gas bombs to drive the hungry people in the area back.

Looking at the corpses of hungry people all over the ground, Li Ming shook his head with a gloomy face, these people came to Ocean Island with great hardship, and they already had hope of survival, but they died here.

Jeju Island is probably no better, and there are many more hungry people in Donggang Town there than he is here. Now there are 150,000 hungry people in Dongjiang Town in the two immigration bases, and he really can't hold on.

Fortunately, there are not many ships coming to Ocean Island now, and hundreds of Liao people can come every day, which also makes him breathe a sigh of relief. Li Ming and Song Tao walked to the shore tiredly, and the torment of nearly a month had exhausted them physically and mentally, and they had reached the limit of what they could bear.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the earphones: "Li Ming, I'm Gao Jianguo, we have arrived at the sea area of Ocean Island, how is the situation there?" ”

Before Li Ming could speak, Song Tao howled into the earphones: "Lao Gao, you are here." If you don't come again, our brothers and I will be devoured alive by these hungry people. ”

Gao Jianguo laughed when he heard this: "Then I'll come back in a few days...... Haha......"

Li Ming and Song Tao ended the call with Gao Jianguo, they sat on the ground, the two of them lit a cigarette each, smoked beautifully, Song Tao spit out a puff of cigarette, and then smiled: "Now even if the hungry people rush out, I won't get up, I'm tired to death." ”

"Bang".

In the depths of the immigration base, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and Song Tao stood up suddenly, and then found that there was no situation. He cursed, and just as he wanted to sit down, he saw the huge hull of the No. 1 landing ship slowly sailing into Ocean Island.

Li Ming was pulled up from the ground by Song Tao, and the two of them looked at the two huge landing ships excitedly, and a feeling of extreme exhaustion came from their bodies.

The officers and men of the first battalion in the camp also cheered, and finally got through it. This month's ordeal is harder than fighting several battles.

Two landing ships rushed to the beachhead, and the first to come down were the militiamen of five musket militia companies. Liu Degui greeted the people in his squad loudly, and quickly stood in line under the platoon commander's command.

Liu Degui squinted and glanced at the fenced area in the camp, where there were densely packed people, all of them with miserable appearances, which made him panic, he was also a person who had suffered hardships, and he had also been tortured in the Zhuangzi of Tartar. But compared to these hungry people who are struggling on the line of death, it is simply heaven and earth.

Gao Jianguo stepped off the landing ship and saw Li Ming and Song Tao, he just glanced at it and was stunned. The two of them were so tired that they were out of phase, and they didn't look like any skinny.

He walked over and patted the two of them on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, you have a good night's sleep these days." ”

After he finished speaking, he led the two to a compartment of the landing ship, and then said with a smile: "Your task in the past two days is to sleep, this is an order." ”

Li Ming glanced at Gao Jianguo. said with a wry smile: "Boss Gao, am I embarrassing the company by doing this." ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said, "There are different voices, but most of the employees are still very supportive." I am very glad that you have done this, we are soldiers, we must remember our responsibilities, and we must have such a responsibility. And we feel that the benefits of doing so definitely outweigh the disadvantages for the long-term development of the company.

It's just that the company's grain problem will be relatively tense this year, and in the next step, our military committee must be ready for battle, ready to set off at any time, and ensure that this year's autumn grain harvest is carried out at any cost. The company's food supply.

This time we'll go back. You also have to go to Ulleungdo Island to be responsible for trading with Song Shiping of the Ming Dynasty, and grain is also the top priority in future transactions. Anyway, we have the money, tell them. As long as there is food, there will be as much as it is. It's no problem with the price highs. ”

Li Ming and Song Tao slept for a day and a night. When I got up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. However, the two of them still felt extremely tired, but now was not the time to rest, so they hurriedly got up and got off the landing ship.

Order in the migrant camps has calmed down a lot. At this time, the place has all changed militia and are standing guard. Gao Jianguo was standing on the shore, and when he saw Li Ming and Song Tao, he laughed and said, "Why don't you sleep for a while, the teaching camp is still sleeping, and they are tired for a while." ”

Li Ming glanced at the migrant camp in the distance and said, "Have you started transporting migrants, how do I think there are many people missing in the camp?" ”

Gao Jianguo said with a smile: "The migrant fleet came once this morning, and I asked them to transport more than 10,000 women and craftsmen here first. This time, the company plans to use four 10,000-ton ships, which will depart from Vladivostok in a few days, and they will be able to transport tens of thousands of people back to Vladivostok at a time. I guess the emigrant fleet will come with a couple of 10,000-ton ships. ”

Song Tao laughed and said, "...... This time the scene is big enough, don't scare those Liao people, haha......"

Because of the sufficient food, two meals of thick rice porridge and one meal of bud rice batter every day made the Liao people's feelings in the migrant camp very stable. These Liao people are all from various islands in Dongjiang Town, engaged in a variety of livelihoods, and the composition is also extremely complex.

Among them, there are soldiers, auxiliaries, craftsmen, boatmen, homeless people, peasant households, etc. in Dongjiang Town, most of the Liao people in Dongjiang Town are Liao people who have shaved their heads, and these Liao people who have shaved their heads are Liao people who fled from the Manchurian-controlled area.

Liu Degui of the company is a typical shaved Liao people, and the shaved Liao people are also discriminated against among the Han people, because the fall of Shenyang and Liaoyang is caused by the spies among those shaved Liao people, so the general Ming army generals are always on guard against them, and even expel them.

Only Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang Town dared to use these shaved Liao people, and there was no place for them to stand in Liaodong, so these people could only stay in Dongjiang Town. Their composition is extremely complex, and there are many people who were once wealthy and fell into abject poverty overnight.

In fact, the vast majority of these people are miserable. After Nurhachi occupied the eastern and western regions of the Liao River, in order to strengthen the strict control of the vast number of Han people, and prevent them from plotting rebellion or fleeing in groups with the help of geographical advantages, he migrated the Liao people in large numbers.

The Liao people were reluctant to relocate, so the Jin army set fire to the houses, and slaughtered them with swords and necks to force the Han people in eastern Liaodong to relocate. Nurhachitong guò forcibly immigrated and reduced the Han people to serfs in the Later Jin state.

Nurhachi's conquest of the Han region in eastern Liaodong was always accompanied by burning, killing, looting, and plundering, and the Later Jin army always killed people on a large scale wherever they went, set fire to houses, and looted official and private property in the Han region.

After Nurhachi occupied Liaoyang, he issued an order stipulating that the rich families were only allowed to leave nine pieces of clothes, the middle families were allowed to leave five pieces of clothes, the lower families were allowed to leave three pieces of clothes, and all other belongings were handed over. The Later Jin authorities gathered the clothes they had looted in this way in the military field of Liaoyang and provided them to the Jurchen and Mongol nobles to pick up and enjoy.

Nurhachi adopted Jurchen and Han people to live together, eat together, and cultivate together. The essence of this policy is that the Han people support the Jurchens, and the Jurchens supervise the Han people, and the result of this policy is bound to be that the houses and land of the Han people are forcibly occupied by the Jurchens, the grain is plundered by the Jurchens, the people are humiliated, and the wives and daughters are **. The Han became slaves to the Jurchens through and through.

Nurhachi also apportioned a large number of military and conscription to the vast number of Liao people. Expeditions, defending cities, repairing cities, building roads, boiling salt, harvesting, transportation and other military and labor services are endless, making the people of Liaodong miserable, and there is almost no time, so that a large number of men in Liaodong have fled.

These are well-documented records in the history books, and the process of Nurhachi's conquest of Liaodong is a history of blood and tears of the Liao people. No matter how much others wash the floor for him, he can't shirk the blood debt of millions of Liao people.

In the next few days, Li Ming, Gao Jianguo and others began to register the Liao people in the migrant camps and draw up a detailed roster. The Liao people are registered every day, and the Liao people, who have eaten a few full meals, are now extremely cooperative, and they come forward to register in turn to be inquired.

"Name?"

"Zhou Weifan."

"What did you do before?"

"Merchants."

Zhou Weifan returned to the camp after being questioned, as the general banner of Liaodong's Jinyi Guard, he was also forced to follow the fall of Liaodong, and finally fell to today's field. For all these years, he has been hiding his identity, and he has been displaced with his tragic fate. (To be continued......)
