Chapter 600 Refugee Distribution
"I didn't expect the thief to throw away more than 10,000 cows." He Xing said, stroking a strong plowing cow.
"Maybe I can't bear to kill it, the cow walked slowly again, and I was afraid that it would be slow to take the cow and run away, so I lost it." Li Guodong replied.
After all, most of the riots were from peasants, so they had feelings for plowing oxen, so it was normal that they could not bear to kill them. But these plowing oxen had to be sent away as soon as possible. Henan had a severe drought, and all the grass roots were eaten up. Where could there be anything to feed the cows? So Li Guodong ordered that the ox should be loaded on the boat first and sent to Lianghuai, and they would be raised there first, and then distributed after a while.
The captured refugee Zhang Ashui and Liu Laogen, who had become the Ming army, were young brothers. They had disappeared for many years. After the hungry people moved into the camp and settled down, Liu Laogen went to chat with Zhang Ashui for a few words.
"Old Liu, I didn't expect that your life would be so comfortable. You have developed a lot of land and married a wife." After hearing about Liu Laogen's incident, Zhang Ashui sighed.
"It's all my great kindness of my uncle! I thought back then, I was also mistakenly involved in the bandits. After being captured, the officers and soldiers treated us well. Liu's life was sold to my uncle from now on!"
"I don't know where my uncle will arrange for us to go."
"Old Zhang, don't worry. You will start registering and booking tomorrow, so you will naturally arrange your place to go. At our age, we can't be a war soldier like those young men, and we can only be an auxiliary soldier. But it's not bad to be an auxiliary soldier. Everyone is distributed to the fields and at the beginning, they even give food. As long as you are diligent, you can live a stable life. When fighting, you can come out to be an auxiliary soldier without charging into the battlefield."
"But if we lose the battle, we who are auxiliary soldiers will not be able to escape."
"Your Majesty wins every battle, how can you defeat a battle?" Liu Laogen slapped the table and stood up, "Your Majesty will fight against the Tartars, let alone fight against the thief army!"
"It's time to eat! It's time to eat!" At this time, the shouts of soldiers came from outside.
The already hungry refugees came out of the tent and followed the soldiers' guidance to an open ground in the middle of the camp. They saw stones placed on the ground in the open ground, and steaming porridge was boiled in a long row of large iron pots nearby.
"Everyone is lined up and we will take it one by one. Women and children are preferred, everyone has a share. If there is not enough, you can add it." The engineer soldiers maintained order.
Maintaining order is not just shouting with your mouth. Zhang Ashui saw a strong man constantly dissuading him and squeezed into front of the women and children. As a result, Li Guodong shouted: "Take it!"
Two soldiers stepped forward and held down the strong man who was in the army.
"Put it out and behead it!" Li Guodong ordered.
"Why kill me? I'm just hungry and I have to have breakfast, so I have to behead my head?" the strong man shouted, but the two soldiers dragged him out without any mercy.
The soldier pressed the strong man on a big stone, raised his sword and fell, and the head rolled over more than a foot away.
"The head is thrown into the pile of bandits' heads, and I'm sent to the capital to report my merits!" Li Guodong said coldly.
The bloody heads calmed some unordered guys. Seeing the headless corpse and the head thrown into Jingguan, everyone became honest and no one dared to come out to test the law with their own body.
"Military orders are like a mountain. If there are disobediences, kill them without mercy!" an officer shouted.
Zhang Ashui said, "Wuwei Bo is really a strict military chicken. When we were on the bandits, every time we started a meal, men would squeeze forward. Many women and children could not eat, and they could not starve to death."
Liu Laogen smiled and said, "This is impossible for us to happen here, and you young and strong people don't have to worry about starving to death. If you porridge is full, you won't be alone."
He Xing stepped forward and asked softly in Li Guodong's ear: "Lord, that person who is strong and strong is a good seedling for the army. He just got into the team and then cut it with a knife. Isn't it too heavy?"
Li Guodong smiled and said, "Xiao He, you don't know, that guy, I have disliked him for a long time! After seeing him coming, I bullied women and children. I secretly observed this person and found that this guy looked fierce and had a very fierce look on his face. I could tell that this guy had killed someone, and he was probably not a good person at all, and he just happened to kill him to establish his authority!"
Han Dashan said: "Xiao He, don't worry, our elder brother will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Everyone he kills has the truth to kill."
Zhang Ashui was queuing in a row, but it was his turn before he was in a row. Before the congee collection office, there was a row of cupboards on the side. Everyone received a wooden bowl and kept queuing in their hands. After a while, they lined up in front of the big wooden barrel.
The soldiers carried a steaming large iron pot and poured the porridge into the wooden barrel. A strong woman who was specialized in making porridge took a spoon and made a full bowl of porridge for everyone in front of them.
Zhang Ashui received the porridge, which was a bowl of mixed grain porridge, which contained sorghum rice, millet, brown rice, buckwheat and chopped sweet potato grains. The mixed grain porridge exuded a fragrance, which made the hungry Zhang Ashui unable to wait to drink, but was scalded. He quickly blew the porridge into the bowl, and before it cooled down, he finished drinking a bowl of porridge.
"If you have a bowl in your hand, go and queue up there." said a soldier.
Zhang Ashui took the bowl and lined up on the other side. There were always queues where he had finished drinking a bowl and wanted to add porridge. Soon he got the second bowl of porridge. While drinking the second bowl of porridge, he turned to look at the women and children next to him. He saw that many women and children had not even finished the first bowl of porridge, and some women even gave the porridge in their bowls to the children to drink.
"This sister, you can add it if you don't have enough food, so you don't need to do this." A soldier stepped forward and persuaded.
The woman replied: "This military master, I can queue up again, so the children don't have to line up."
Zhang Ashui drank five bowls of porridge, and his belly was round. Only then did he feel satisfied with taking the bowl to wash at the pool, and then went back to the tent to rest.
Next to the porridge distribution room, there is a pool surrounded. After drinking the porridge, everyone goes to the pool, fetches water and washes the dishes by themselves, and hands over the dishes back. If they find someone who cannot wash them clean, they will be punished accordingly, scolded lightly, and be beaten with a heavy army stick.
The next morning, after Zhang Ashui was woken up, he first lined up to get the porridge. After eating, he would line up to register and make a book.
"Name?"
"Zhang Ashui."
"Hometown?"
"Bird of Jia County, Henan Province."
"age?"
"Thirty-nine years old."
The registered officer of the small flag raised his head: "I'm a little older and can't be a warrior anymore. Let's do this. I'll arrange for you to go to the Tongyang River. When you get there, you will be given a piece of land. But the best paddy fields are gone, so you won't plant them even if you give them to paddy fields, right?"
Zhang Ashui nodded: "What Jun Ye said is that the grass people have never planted paddy fields, and there is enough dry land."
The officer lowered his head, wrote his name and number on a wooden sign, and then handed the wooden sign and a rope to Zhang Ashui: "In the future, this will be your waist card. Tie it with a rope. You must not lose this waist card. After going there, some people will distribute fields, oxen, farm tools and grain according to the waist card."
"Thank you, Jun! Thank you, Jun!" Zhang Ashui knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Next!" the officer of Xiaoqi shouted.
After Zhang Ashui retreated, his little boy Liu Laogen came up and asked, "Ashui, where are you allocating?"
"Hey, I went to Tongyang and couldn't go to Shandong. It seems that our brothers are going to part with each other again."
"It's good that we can survive these days. My uncle is kind and kind, and he gives us a chance to survive. There are great disasters in heaven and chaos, and many people die because of this. As long as we are still alive, we will always have a chance to meet again in the future."
