Chapter 759(1/2)

The war between the Rui Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in Northern Zhili has begun.

The north, which had been quiet for less than a few months, was once again surging.

At first, a large number of refugees were rushing from the north to the south with their families. This time, Rui Dynasty was unable to stop the population loss. They were also happy to let the people evacuate from Northern Zhili to avoid being robbed by the Qing army...

On that day, Huang Dingmao's family finally arrived in Dezhou.

Huang Dingmao was forty-one years old and from Hejian Mansion. He made a living by making a blacksmith. He had a wife named Niu Juan who gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Due to natural disasters and man-made disasters over the years, only one man and one woman survived to this day. Her daughter was named Huang Xiaohua and her son was named Huang Xiaomu.

The family still has four people left because Huang Dingmao's ironwork is good and smart.

Originally, he hoped that the Emperor of Daruicao would win the world and that his life would be better in the future. But this time, the Qing army entered the pass again, Huang Dingmao thought about it and felt uneasy.

The emperor of the grass head had just been in charge of the capital for a short time, and his foundation was unstable and it was difficult to fight this battle. Even ordinary people could understand this principle.

In addition, after the Qing army entered Gubeikou, it soon sent a cavalry to bypass the capital and plunder food and grass. After Gu'an was robbed, the people of Bazhou City flocked to Hejian Prefecture.

Huang Dingmao saw that the situation was not good, so he really ran away with his family.

As the refugees traveled along the way, the food had already been eaten, and everyone was as hungry as beggars. Every day, refugees were left behind or died, and Huang Dingmao gradually felt numb to these things.

Fortunately, I finally brought my son and daughter to Texas.

This is the division between Rui Dynasty and Chu Dynasty. I don’t know if the Chu Dynasty is willing to accept refugees like them, and I don’t know how they will be treated next.

There were Chu soldiers standing neatly on both sides of the road to maintain public security. Looking up, there were military formations guarding in the distance, with majestic momentum. There were watchtowers and beacon towers everywhere, and countless civilians were building city walls and trenches...

The world is vast, and Huang Dingmao suddenly felt that the scene was very spectacular.

After being stopped by the Chu soldiers, the refugees slowed down a little, but they continued to move forward.

"Everyone lined up!" A general shouted and led his troops over. When he met someone who was in the line, he went up and scolded him twice.

People are not prohibited from speaking here, but the refugees still calm down at the same time.

After walking forward slowly for a while, Huang Dingmao lined up in front and saw a large row of long tables on the side of the road, with officials sitting there behind each table.

"You, go there." A soldier pointed.

Huang Dingmao walked over, and his wife Niu Juan pulled Huang Xiaohua and Huang Xiaomu and followed nervously.

The official held a pen and asked a few questions like name and origin with a blank expression. He wrote them down on the paper and asked again: "What business did he originally do?"

Huang Dingmao was a little nervous and replied: "The youngest one is a blacksmith."

The official nodded, his eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded and said, "You have the skills, right?"

As he said that, he picked up another seal and covered it with a "splash".

"Can you read?"

Huang Dingmao shook his head, and the family of four was illiterate.

The official asked again: "Can you have fellow villagers who can protect your identity?"

"Yes." Huang Dingmao nodded, looked around and said, "Those are all small fellow villagers..."

Next, there are a few questions to test whether they are doing detailed work and spy.

After finally finishing the question, a young man came over and lit the sign to the registered official and said, "Lin Xiangyang, the Military Affairs Office, come and ask about the situation."

"Please give me some advice."

Lin Xiangyang looked at Huang Dingmao and asked, "Hejian Mansion is here? Have you seen Jiannu this time?"

Huang Dingmao was scared and did not dare to look at the other party. He just shook his head and said, "No...no."

"What do you think of under Ruichao's rule a few days ago?"

"It's not much different from the past..., I've collected one less tax..."

Huang Dingmao's words were spoken, and he began to regret it again, feeling that he should scold Rui Chao in front of Chu Guan.

However, Lin Xiangyang did not study these things in depth, and asked a few more questions about the situation in Hejian and walked away.

The official in charge of the registration handed over four pieces of paper to Huang Dingmao and said, "This is your household registration certificate. Take it well, don't lose it. If you encounter a cross-examination, you can't take it out, and you will be caught and beheaded."

Huang Dingmao's family was so scared that their face turned pale and hurriedly collected the so-called household registration certificate.

Then the officers and soldiers took them forward. After gathering a hundred people, they sent them to a shed, took a bath, changed clothes, and each of them ate a bowl of porridge.

"Most of these batches are craftsmen and sent to Laizhou..."

The official shouted like this and drove them into the donkey cart and slowly started as they watched.

Huang Dingmao had ten people in the car. Two people were all wearing black clothes, with a piece of cloth hanging on their arms, and four characters were printed on them. He did not recognize these four characters, but seeing that these two people were not like officials and looked vicious, Huang Dingmao couldn't help but be afraid and signaled Niu Juan to protect Huang Xiaohua.

After getting off, the person who drove the car turned around and said, "You don't have to be afraid. Although we are not officials, we are the Emperor Shang of Chu."

He pointed to the words on his arm and said, "Did you see, 'Transportation Construction', specialize in laying bridges, building roads and transporting things in Shandong... But you have to be honest. We used to be thugs from the Dezhou Gang. Whoever dares to be in trouble on this road will beat you ten of us."

"Honest, be honest." Huang Dingmao said hurriedly.

"You are all craftsmen, working in wooden work and ironworking, so you are sent to Laizhou. The family can have a donkey cart to sit in. Some of the others serve in the army and some work as laborers, but they are not as comfortable as you. In short, after arriving in Laizhou, they work hard."

Huang Dingmao said curiously: "What are you going to do?"

"How can I know? Anyway, I can do whatever I ask you to do."

"Yes, yes." Huang Dingmao responded quickly.

He often helps refugees, but this is the first time he has seen him, and he feels uneasy.

Turning around, I saw road construction everywhere on the road, and the villagers waved their hoes, looking very enthusiastic.

The Dezhou Gangren said again: "See, we did this road construction. Our Dezhou Gang has gone from a gang in the world to a current climate, which is not worse than the six major yamen... By the way, how do you say that? What does the country come from? The country's business?"

Speaking of this, he turned to ask another person.

"Enterprise."

Huang Dingmao didn't understand these things very well, but just looked at the flat and wide road ahead with a blank look on his face...

After walking for a while, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind me.

"Get out of here!"

The Texas gang members shouted and drove the donkey carts away to the side of the road.

Huang Dingmao's family turned around and saw more than a hundred cavalry officers and soldiers galloping towards them.

Huang Xiaomu's eyes lit up, and he was stunned. He had a thought in his mind: "It's so majestic."

He has not seen officers and soldiers before, but in the past he had met some tyrant officials or rebels who were dressed in various ways.

At this time, the group of people passing by were all bright armor and full of energy. They were wearing tall horses and were full of murderous auras.

The road-building men were avoiding both sides of the road, cheering in their mouths.

The horse's hooves flew past Huang Dingmao's donkey cart like rain.

Huang Xiaomu stared at her eyes, opened her mouth, and murmured: "So majestic! Why are other officers and soldiers not so majestic?"

The Dezhou Gang responded: "Of course, the past was the personal barracks of Guanning Iron Cavalry, the elite among the elite."

Huang Xiaomu sincerely exclaimed, then raised his hand and murmured: "I just saw someone in the middle of the team..."

"Shut up!" Huang Dingmao was shocked, patted Huang Xiaomu's hand and scolded: "Do you want to ask questions?!"

He could see clearly just now that a general who was both traitorous among the cavalry was tied behind him. His son didn't know how to live or die, and he would dare to mutter behind his back that such a thing might kill the whole family.

The Dezhou gang members who were driving the car grinned and said, "Is the little brother trying to ask about the Grandmaster Qin? What are you afraid of? Yes, Qin Shuai just broke his hands and feet, but he is never afraid of people talking about it. Hey, what's the shame of the injuries on the battlefield?"

Huang Dingmao was scared and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, we didn't see anything just now."

"I told you not to be afraid. What a heroic hero in Qin Shuai, can you care about being talked about by you? You are so petty..."

Huang Xiaomu looked up at the distance, and only the dust raised by the cavalry at the end of the world was seen.

For some reason, he was deeply impressed by what he saw today.

The crowd of people, the majestic cavalry, the commander with only half of his body...

He didn't know how to describe this feeling.

The whole country is in decline and the dusk is deep. The young man in exile can be attracted by the excited spirit at first sight.

Jinan City.

The Duke of Guo State.

In the early morning, Wang Xiao yawned and sat down in front of the table where official documents were piled up.

Even though Tang Qianqian and Chunning handled a lot of documents for him respectively, he still had to deal with a lot of things every day.

"I'm really tired of this kind of life that is busy every day."

Wang Xiao supported his head, thought for a while, and then said to himself: "No wonder."

Tang Qianqian asked, "No wonder?"

"No wonder there were harem interfering in politics, dictatorship of foreign relatives, and dictatorship of eunuchs before... You see, the cabinet system is very reasonable, only when you are in it, you know that the ancients were so smart."

Tang Qianqian was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she spread a document in front of him and said, "This is the document that has just been sent, and I can't handle this matter."
To be continued...
