Chapter 71 071 Yangzhou
Time flies by like a white horse.

Seven years ago, Daqing fought a war with the Huns on the grassland.

Liangzhou, where Jiang Wenzhu and the others are located, was affected immediately because it was on the border. Therefore, the local capital where they were located and the county towns along the way were trampled by the iron hooves of the Huns.

The people living in Liangzhou were terrified, because the Huns fought very cruelly. Everywhere they went, they not only burned and looted, but also raped and prostituted women, doing all kinds of evil things.

Pull down the houses, take out all the people's property and food, take away what can be taken away, use what can be used, and burn what can't be taken away.

Wherever the Xiongnu passed by, as long as they encountered Han people, they would kill all of them, from the elderly in their seventies and eighties to the strong and strong young people, from the delicate women to the babies who were still in their infancy, without exception. was killed.

Therefore, the first batch of encounters with the Huns did not end well.

They were attacked by the fierce slaves in a hurry to the south, and they had no power to resist. Even if the unarmed people wanted to resist, they were unable to organize an effective resistance.

Only a few sporadic people spread the story of the Huns burning, killing and looting while people were not being escaped.

Of course, after they spread the news, the local garrison immediately received the news.

Chen Qingtang, governor of the Northwest, was the first to organize an army to resist the Huns. Due to the lack of troops and hasty preparations, the initial encounter did not cause much loss. After receiving the order and support from Lord Zhen Guo, he slowly maintained the resistance.

The Xiongnu attacked on a large scale, and the Daqing government and the public were shaken. When Emperor Chongde learned about it, he was furious and lost his temper on the spot in the Golden Temple.

"I know the Huns are wolfish and ambitious, but I didn't expect them to take advantage of this time to make it difficult. They simply don't take us Daqing seriously."

To be precise, he was ignored. In the past 20 years since the founding of the country, the border was unstable, and every time the Huns were sad in winter, they would harass the border.

For this reason, he also specifically asked Zhen Guogong to sit in the north and use 20 troops to resist the invasion and nuisance of the Huns and guard the northern barrier.

However, the northern border is too long. As long as the garrison is unprepared, the Huns can break through the defense line and swagger to the counties, towns, and villages to fight for grass.

Because the fierce slaves are tough by nature, strong in combat, and the horses under their crotches are very fast, highly mobile, and come and go without a trace. As long as they aim at a target and gather troops, they can do a big job, and wait until the border troops receive it. Information to chase, basically the daylilies are cold, and I can't catch up with them, I can't beat them, I can only watch them escape.

The Huns were sure of this, and often came to strikes unexpectedly.

Because the people in the border areas of Daqing are good at farming, some are very hardworking, every time they come down to harvest grass and valleys, they can go to the harvest, and once they grab it, they can live comfortably through the winter, so they come to the border to grab it every year. And the cost of thinking is too low, basically there will be no loss, so they will go south every year.

The Daqing court was troubled by this.

With a border line of several thousand kilometers, it is impossible to defend the city wall to resist or take advantage of natural dangers, and tunnels are impossible. Therefore, the Daqing Dynasty spends huge manpower and material resources every year, and prepares a large amount of military force to prevent it from being invaded by the border Huns. .

In fact, the combat effectiveness of Daqing soldiers is very good, but the Huns' style of play restricts Daqing soldiers.

To the north is the endless grassland, which is very flat. The Japanese grew up on the grassland since they were young, and they sat on horseback when they were able to drink milk.And their war horses are so fast that they come and go without a trace, which is really beyond the reach of Daqing soldiers.

In the 17th year of Daqing's founding, not only had to fight the judgments left over from the previous dynasty, but also had to face domestic rebellions, as well as the Huns in the north and the Baiyi people in the south. It was really powerless to stop the Xindu people from the north.

Therefore, the people in the north have a particularly difficult life.

And Liangzhou, where Jiang Wenzhu and the others lived, was not actually a blessing that directly bordered the Huns, but this time the Huns went farther, passing directly from Cangzhou in front, so this time Jing'an County suffered a disaster.

The entire county was slaughtered, dozens of carts of grain were dragged away from the county government, and the remaining tens of thousands of shi of grain were all burned.

The people in the county town were killed in scattered places. It is said that the corpses were piled up like a hill, and the blood of all the people flowed into the moat, staining the river for several miles red.

The real mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood flowed like rivers.

Because of the disaster in the county seat, all the villages and towns below Jing'an County were boiling. To be precise, the people below panicked, for fear that they would be like passers-by who would keep doing nothing and be so stupid as to be positive.Save it.So these people all packed their bags and prepared to run away.

There is only one dead end if you don't run away. Should you wait where you are and let the fierce slaves come over and kill them all?
The Huns had all come here, and the garrison didn't know where they were, and it was impossible to protect them, so everyone was panicked, packing up their things quickly, thinking about running away.

The orders from the imperial court were issued very quickly, but the arrival of the imperial court's support was extremely slow. During this period of time, it was enough for the Huns to go back and forth in Liangzhou and kill five or six rounds.

Who wants to stay where they are and die?
At least Jiang Wenzhu didn't want to. When news of what happened in Jing'an County spread to Xinghua Village, everyone in the village was stunned. Everyone immediately went to the village chief and planned to flee the village.

Everyone was ready to leave without hesitation, took their belongings, followed the large army, and moved to the inland non-stop.

However, an order was issued from above that as long as the people of Liangzhou City are not accepted, other places cannot accept the people of these villages, otherwise the whole Liangzhou will become an empty city, so what should we do?
So when people from Jiang Wenzhu's village finally ran to Yanmen next door, they were refused by the Yanmen prefect.

They had no choice but to continue down. During the escape, Lin and her four daughters were unfortunately separated from the entire Xinghua Village.

After tossing and turning, he was caught in the bandit's den, and after many twists and turns, he escaped with the help of the bandit suppressing frontier army.

Then their family followed the bodyguard all the way from Yanmen to Yangzhou, and spent a lot of money to settle in Taohua Village, Baolong Town, Guangling County, Yangzhou.

Although the imperial court expressly prohibits people from Yangzhou from being accepted, this kind of decree is only enforced in a few state capitals near Liangzhou, and it is more binding, and it is also binding in other places, but it is not so strict.

In particular, they almost ran from the westernmost to the easternmost. When they settled down, they said that they had lost their household registration. They did not show their Liangzhou household registration, and directly registered their household registration in Yangzhou.

In fact, thanks to the certificate issued to them by the frontier army who rescued them at that time, their household registration was indeed destroyed by the bandits.
