Song Tao saw that his cigarette was almost finished, so he hurriedly took out another one and handed it to him. He smiled and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is?" ”

The man took the cigarette, lit his head, and said, "Thanks, brother." My name is Lin Jinghua, my hometown is Jincheng, Shanxi, and my ancestors were farmers who worked in the soil. I was still a farmer in the Ming Dynasty, hehe...... It's still a brother, you can do it, it used to be the People's Liberation Army, and you actually came with a gun when you came over, and these soldiers under your command are mighty when they look at it. ”

Song Tao shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. You say it's all crossing, why is the gap so big?

He called the hygienist and bandaged a few of the injured homeless. Then he turned his head and beckoned to a few special combat team members in the distance. A group of special combat personnel are still strange in their hearts, why is Lao Song so strange today. I chatted endlessly with a turtle there, and it was pretty close.

They saw Song Tao waving to them and hurriedly walked up. Song Tao pointed at Lin Jinghua and said to a few special combat team members: "Introduction, this is our senior, your name is Brother Lin." They came much earlier than we did, in 1975. ”

A few special combat team members were numb when they heard it, this Nima is too nonsense. Lin Jinghua was also a little confused, why did they come over with so many people, but he still waved at everyone, and said with a sincere smile: "Hello comrades." ”

Everyone was so excited that they almost subconsciously shouted to serve the people. They felt awkward in their hearts, but after all, they all came from modern society, and they all sat on the ground and chatted with Lin Jinghua.

When this guy arrived in the Zezhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Jinghua, who had just arrived, was also frightened, but most of the military households who fled from the border towns here did not attract the attention of others. At that time, he was in the prime of life, and soon found a village to settle down and merged into the family of the head of a village.

Lin Jinghua is very satisfied with coming to the Ming Dynasty, in modern society, he has several brothers, who are so poor that they are so hungry that they panic every day, and they can't even afford to marry a mother-in-law. But in the Ming Dynasty, he married his mother-in-law within a year, and the days of his father-in-law's family were still said to be in the past, at least he could eat enough.

He is honest and capable, he was originally a farmer, and he can do all the work in the field. The mother-in-law was even more angry, and gave birth to two babies in one go, making him feel that coming to the Ming Dynasty was worth it in this life.

But Lin Jinghua only has a primary school education, he doesn't know anything about the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he has only heard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he didn't take it to heart at all. He didn't know about the drought in the northwest during the Xiaoice River period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he worked in his own field every day, fantasizing about his wife and children living a life on hot kang.

Unexpectedly, in the past two years, there was a great drought in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the red land was thousands of miles. He could only drag his family to flee the famine, all the way through Henan, and then to Shandong, where his father-in-law and mother-in-law starved to death on the road.

Lin Jinghua relied on being a militiaman before, and she has a lot of strength. In order for his wife and children to survive, he gathered a group of people, did good and bad things, and finally escaped to Qingzhou Mansion. They provoked a rich family, and Lin Jinghua led everyone to destroy the big family's Zhuangzi and fled all the way here.

Song Tao said with a smile: "In the future, you can lead them to follow us, and they will have a good life." By the way, are your wife and children okay? ”

Lin Jinghua said with a smile: "My father-in-law is the chief, after he died, these villagers listened to me, I gathered the young people in the village, organized them together according to the previous militia company, and collected some safe and small young people on the road, although the road was difficult, but I also stumbled and survived." If we hadn't destroyed that big family, we wouldn't have hid here.

We've even eaten dead people along the way, not to mention how difficult it is. Now Henan and Shandong are full of disaster victims. The government doesn't care, those landlords and rich households don't want to help, they are bullying us. Either I won't take everyone to break the landlord's Zhuangzi. ”

When Song Tao heard that there were still victims in Shandong and Shanxi, he hurriedly asked: "Lao Lin, are there many victims here in Shandong?" ”

"Why not much, when I first came, there were hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou Mansion and Shandong Mansion alone, and there were starving to death every day, and I don't know how many are left now. If we hadn't dared to fight hard, we would have starved to death by now. Even if we hid here, we fought a few battles with those bandits when we first came here, and dozens of us died, and now those bandits don't come to provoke us when they see that we dare to fight hard, and they don't have any oil and water. Hey...... When you have a big deal, you still come to us. ”

Song Tao thought for a while and said, "Do you know where those victims are?" ”

"Qingzhou and Jinan are the most numerous, and there are often people in these two places who give porridge, so the victims are willing to gather there. There are some in other states and counties, but the number is much smaller, hundreds or even thousands. ”

After listening to Lin Jinghua's words, Song Tao said in a deep voice: "Lao Lin, I'll let you villagers go first." You can rest assured, this time we came to Shandong to pull people, they went to us, there will definitely be food and drink. You just take us to Qingzhou Mansion and Jinan Mansion to help those victims, since we are here, we can't watch them starve to death. By the way, are you familiar with the roads in Shandong? ”

Lin Jinghua thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll take you there, it's not unfamiliar, follow the official road of Daming all the way to the west, and you can go to Qingzhou Mansion and Jinan Mansion City." ”

Song Tao asked Lin Jinghua to arrange for their villagers to evacuate, he contacted Li Ming by radio, reported Lin Jinghua's affairs, and asked Li Ming for instructions on what he wanted to do to relieve the victims.

Li Ming also felt incredible when he heard about Lin Jinghua, but he also knew that since you could encounter wormholes, others would of course be able to encounter them, so he asked Song Tao to take care of Lin Jinghua. and agreed that Song Tao would go to Qingzhou Mansion to relieve the disaster victims, and take advantage of the time when Daming was still recruiting rebels to seize the time to relieve the disaster victims, and save as much as he could.

During this time, the governor of Shandong was working hard to appease the rebels of Denglai Liaobing, and he also quickly reported to the imperial court. After the Ming court learned the news, the Donglin Party and the pro-Sun Yuanhua faction led by Zhou Yanru, a scholar from Donglin, all advocated appeasing the rebels. Even Chongzhen tried his best to send people to Denglai to appease the rebels, but Daming really didn't have any money.

Is there still a lot of mutiny and trouble in the border army on the nine sides, every time it is a soothing, and then a few people are pushed out to carry the black pot for the dead ghosts, and this matter is over. Moreover, Kong Youde, these Liao soldiers, did not pull the flag to rebel, and constantly made peace with the Ming Dynasty, so the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards the Denglai mutiny was no different from that in history, and almost let the situation of Denglai erosive.

After Song Tao and Li Ming finished talking, they sent a platoon and the jeep to escort hundreds of victims back to the Dengzhou base. Then gather the various troops of Laizhou to suppress bandits and assemble in Changle County. During this period of suppression of bandits, the troops seized a large amount of gold, silver and grain, and there were thousands of mules and horses alone.

These supplies were stored in Changyi, Weixian and other places, and Song Tao ordered the troops to continue to collect carts, horses and mules, and grain along the way, and if necessary, exchange gold and silver with those rebels. And set up a logistics base in Weixian, which was controlled by the rebels, and all supplies were gathered in Weixian.

Li Ming also telegraphed the troops of Dengzhou to stop the pursuit and assemble in Weixian along another official road south of Denglai, passing through Laiyang, Jiaozhou, and Gaomi, and wantonly collecting grain, carts, and horses along the way. Among them, Jiaoxian and Gaomi were not controlled by the rebels, and Wang Yaowu, the commander-in-chief of the Dengzhou Bandit Suppression of the Shandong Corps, gave an order to visit the towns on both sides of the official road in this area, and the Zhuangzi of the gentry and large households.

From the hands of the gentry and wealthy families, a lot of grain, mules, horses and carts were "borrowed". All units of the Shandong Corps did not commit any crimes against ordinary people all the way. Now most of Denglai has been sentenced to military control, and countless gentry and wealthy families have been killed by the rebels.

The gentry and wealthy households all hid in the county seat, and the process of "borrowing" grain from the Shandong Corps was very smooth, and the defenders of the town and the rich households in the city were frightened by the rebels, and they were eager to take out some grain, mules, horses, and carts, and send the soldiers away as soon as possible.

At the same time, the logistics branch of the Dengzhou base of the Shandong Army also organized a huge transport team to assemble in the direction of Weixian. Every day in Weixian, troops from the Shandong Corps arrived with a large number of supplies. All kinds of supplies sent from all over the country piled up.

Song Tao asked Lin Jinghua to lead the way, destroying several bandit nests around him, and seized a large amount of gold, silver, horses and grain. Then he left Changle County with his troops and arrived near the Qingzhou capital city not far from along the official road.

The people around Qingzhou Mansion have fled, and Qingzhou Mansion is even more like a great enemy, and it is closed all day long. Even the rich forts along the way are in a posture like a great enemy. Song Tao collected thousands of victims of the Shanxi disaster along the way, and Song Tao gathered them, and the follow-up troops came up to receive them, and then sent them to the Dengzhou base.

When they came to the vicinity of Qingzhou City, the number of victims gradually increased. Because of the recent mutiny in Denglai, the rich families who used to give porridge have fled to the city, and the victims who have gathered here have no food to eat. Now there are more than 10,000 Shanxi victims who are waiting to be fed in Qingzhou Mansion.

Although Song Tao experienced an operation to rescue the hungry people in Dongjiang, he still felt very heavy when he saw the scene of hungry people everywhere in Qingzhou Mansion again. The Shanshan victims gathered outside the Qingzhou capital city are no different from the Dongjiang disaster victims, only the young and strong survived, and the old and weak women and children are basically dead.

When they saw Song Tao arrive with his troops, they pounced on them one by one as if they were crazy, and Song Tao had no choice but to order to shoot and kill some crazy victims before the situation could be controlled. Although the victims here are relatively chaotic, it is really nothing compared to the Ocean Island resettlement base back then.

Song Tao organized the troops to centralize the management of the victims, took out all the grain, and used dozens of cauldrons to lay them out side by side in the temporary disaster camp, and boiled rice porridge from morning to night, which saved more than 10,000 victims. If it had been a few days later, these victims would not have survived much.

While Song Tao was nervous about relieving the victims, several special combat team members reported to him on the radio that when they were searching and advancing to the western part of Qingzhou Prefecture, they found a group of local scoundrels in Shandong who were harassing the victims nearby.

Song Tao was furious when he heard this, explained it, and rushed over with a platoon. He hated the bastards who persecuted the victims, and these guys were damned. R1152
