Xiao Han didn't know why at the time, until someone whispered to him: The hometown of the person you mentioned is actually Shandong.
During the Daye period, the Sui Dynasty mobilized the whole country to attack Goryeo, and hundreds of thousands of troops rushed to foreign lands!
And supplying so many large armies with food and grass has become the top priority of the Sui Dynasty! Later, due to the geographical location close to Liaodong, most of the required grain and grass were transported from Shandong. Under the emperor's strong order, grain was forcibly collected from level to level. In the most difficult period, each household here only had a few days left. rations!
However, because the autumn harvest season is coming soon, Shandong can still hold back in this regard. New grains from the fields will soon come out. They are collecting grains and let them collect them. Who dares to say no? Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. They can't even afford to offend officials, let alone the emperor!
However, who would have thought that when all the food was being requisitioned and transported away, a heavy rainstorm that was rare in recent years would follow one after another!
It rained heavily for three days. Finally, the Yellow River burst! Thousands of miles of plains in Shandong instantly turned into swamps!
Seeing that all the grain that had already gone into earing was destroyed overnight, everyone was in despair! Next, there were wailings all over the land, and the red ground for thousands of miles is not enough to describe the tragic situation!
In this world, no one comes back alive, they all come back dead...
This nonsense is so fresh and refined that people have to accept it, but even if they die, they have to die in any way.
People can be killed, die of illness, or die of old age, but among the countless ways to die, the most cruel one is death from starvation! This is simply the most ruthless punishment from God!
Xiao Han has never been hungry, even when he was in the orphanage!
Although there was less love and toys there, there was still no shortage of food. How much did steamed buns cost at that time? It’s five bucks for one dollar, and with a bag of pickles, it’s enough to fill your stomach!
Therefore, he who is lucky enough to be born in modern society cannot experience or imagine the pain of starving to death!
But when he heard that the man's whole family had starved to death in front of him, Xiao Han felt that his whole body was filled with coldness.
Cover your mouth, don't dare to ask, and can't ask! How did that man survive!
Xiao Han only knew that he had a nightmare all night! Whenever I see that honest face again, I always feel cold in my heart. Even when he greets me, I dare not respond. I just wave my hand and walk away in a hurry, for fear of remembering those dark scenes again.
In addition to this person, the new Qianniu Guard in Zhuangzi is also very strange. He is incompatible with the original veteran system in Xiao Han's family, regardless of training or patrolling! Even eating and sleeping are different.
People in Zhuangzi now have to eat in the morning, noon and night. The habit has been developed over the past few months. Every time it is meal time, the aroma of cooking smoke is always lingering in the Zhuangzi. The boys who have returned from school rush back to their homes with cheers and hands. They rush to grab food without even washing. They are exhausted from studying all morning!
Not only the children are like this, but the villagers who are not working are even more happy! Because Xiao Han has never been stingy with the people in Zhuangzi. Not only does he pay wages, but he also gives out benefits every now and then.
Nowadays, it is common for villagers to have a meal of meat and drink a little wine at home. It is no longer the case in the past, when they drank a lot of gruel, but before going out, they would pick some oil and apply it on their lips to show off to others what they had just eaten. Over meat.
However, no matter how carefree the people in Zhuangzi are, those Qianniu Guards who are setting up camp alone outside are still not seen. They should train! When it's time to patrol, we only cook in the middle of the morning and mid-afternoon every day.
Xiao Han once visited them while they were eating and found that these emperor's imperial guards thought they were eating something good. Unexpectedly, after taking a look, he discovered that they were eating millet porridge with pot helmets every day!
The porridge is clear, and even the clear porridge can reflect the silhouette of a person! The pot helmet is so hard that it can be used as a helmet!
One time, Xiao Han couldn't stand it anymore, so he had several pots of steamed buns steamed, and all of them were cooked. Unexpectedly, the buns were returned intact in the blink of an eye. That bastard Qian Niuwei said Annoying: Qian Niuwei will never accept outside food during his mission!
Xiao Han was so angry that he almost took off the buns and fed them to the dog. This was the first time in the Tang Dynasty that he was refused food!
In the past, even his master, Old Man Hua, no matter how angry he was with Xiao Han, never refused the food he gave him. Unexpectedly, these bastards refused and deserved to eat cold food!
I don’t know how Zhang Qiang found out about this later. Xiao Han, who was already aggrieved, was laughed at by him again: He is the imperial guard, and you want to bribe him with a basket of steamed buns? Do you really think they are the subordinates of the dog-headed general?
Xiao Han can't pay attention to these people whose heads are deader than stones. Xiao Han is afraid that he will lose his life due to anger! Just when I was about to go home and take a rest, I remembered that there was another guy at home who I couldn't afford to offend, and that was Mr. Hua!
Oh, how pitiful! I don’t know if the old man ate gunpowder on the battlefield or something else, but every time he saw Xiao Han, he became extremely angry!
It was obvious that he was having a good chat with Xiao Shiyi in the backyard, but Xiao Han was scolded as soon as he came close to her while licking his face! Xiao Shiyi, who was scolding, was dumbfounded, and Xiao Han was extremely depressed!
Nothing has been easy lately! However, what made Xiao Han breathe a sigh of relief was:
Regarding the destruction of Taiyuan City, although there was a lot of turmoil in Chang'an in the past few days, in the court, it was just as Xiao Han expected. There were no major twists and turns, except for a few generals who jumped out and shouted. Apart from regaining the lost territory for the Tang Dynasty, no one mentioned anything about accountability.
The ministers all saw clearly that if the accountability was held, Li Yuanji would undoubtedly be found out, but this Li Yuan protector was really powerful! No one wants to touch this bad luck.
Besides, even if you hold people accountable now, it won't help at all. Instead of working hard to do a thankless thing, it's better to think about how to fight back.
Because of this, Li Shimin and the others were released after hastily completing the remaining procedures in the Ancestral Temple.
Xiao Han never understood why in the Tang Dynasty, after winning a war, he was locked up like a prison, but when those people were released, Xiao Han might be able to understand.
After these few days of training, the generals who were so angry when they returned have become much calmer. When they first came back, even Xiao Lizi was like a fighting cock, let alone others. He was like a cock, but he still got on The lead!
But now, after being locked up for a while, and then released all at once, even Liu Hongji, who had just been able to walk around on his own, put on a little smile when he saw people, but with a big bald head, this smile looked scary.
Xia Rong Winter Killing, in ancient times, winter was really a difficult season. Even on the battlefield, at this time, you had to consider whether to say hello to the other party. Everyone should stop for now and go home for the New Year to recharge their batteries. Let’s fight again next year!
There's nothing we can do. It's freezing outside, and the soldiers don't have suitable heating tools and clothing. In addition, after a year of fighting, not only the body is tired, but also the spirit is always tense!
No matter when, the flesh and blood body is not a machine after all, and even a machine must have time for oiling and maintenance, and people must have time to rest!
Therefore, even if Jinyang in the rear area was lost, Li Yuan was not in a hurry to mobilize troops to recover it! After all, with the current tired troops and equipment, if we really have to force our way north, we will probably suffer a lot of battle losses before we reach Taiyuan!
Therefore, after the scouts inquired for a long time, they found that Liu Wuzhou, who occupied Jinyang, had no intention of going south. Instead, he was busy plundering people's wealth and dividing his subordinates wantonly. Li Yuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He just ordered Li Shimin and others to train the army at this time and wait for the coming year. The war is coming!
