“Haha~~”

Zhao Xiucai chuckled with a sense of superiority: "You guys are you stupid in farming? You don't know the situation outside at all. The Regent occupied a large and prosperous area from Beijing to Nanjing, and got Guangdong and Guangxi. He has a population of over 100 million and has millions of elite soldiers. He has never been defeated in dozens of battles. The King of Chuang once went to Beijing and was beaten back to Shaanxi by the Regent. Do you think the King of Chuang dares to fight? Maybe the whole world in the future belongs to the Regent!"

"Oh, it's still Zhao Xiucai who is very knowledgeable and is a scholar!"

"The announcement alone is much better than the King of Chuang!"

All kinds of admiration came in full swing!

Zhao Xiucai was a little proud.

Erzhuzi asked, "We are penniless, and it is thousands of miles away from Shaanxi to Jiaozhi. How can we get there?"

"That's the point!"

Zhao Xiucai spread the notice on the ground and pointed: "There is a picture here. Look, the court has set up reception points in Shou County, Huaiyuan County, Fengyang Prefecture, Linqing and Anqing. According to the signs on the map, as long as we get to these four places, there will be a boat that will send us to Songjiang first, and then change our boats in Xiangshan and Hong Kong to reach our destination Jiaozhi. When we arrive at Jiaozhi, we will have a special person to arrange our food, accommodation, housing and transportation, and allocate land and women as agreed.

As for the route we took, I have already found out clearly. If we can't get out of Tongguan, we can cross the Yellow River, enter Shanxi, cross the mountains and go out of Taihang, and then head south to Linqing to board the boat, which is about a thousand miles."

Everyone fell into silence. Although there was a government picking up the government, they still had to walk more than a thousand miles. For them who had never traveled far, it undoubtedly required great courage. More importantly, where did the money come from?

"Are you scared?"

Zhao Xiucai glanced coldly and shouted: "Although I don't know what will happen in this thousand miles, going out will be a new world. Are you willing to stay in the yellow land for the rest of your life and live a life of poverty and drink thin every day, and you can't even afford to have a wife?

At least I don’t want to do it. Whether it’s life or death, I have to go for a quest. I dare not rebel, but the opportunity is right in front of me, and I am unwilling to let it go, and I am even more unwilling to be confused and confused for the rest of my life!”

"Zhao Xiucai is right!"

Cao Mazi gritted his teeth: "It's a little bit twice a day, and he doesn't even have a pair of decent pants. He can't even get his wife. He has to flatter the military masters of the Dashun Dynasty. What kind of life do we have like us? It's more than a thousand miles a day, and only ten days a day. I don't believe that God won't let us live for these ten days. I'll leave with Zhao Xiucai!"

Erzhuzi said: "I'll go too. We bring everything we can eat. If we really don't eat, peel the bark and eat grass roots. We have to keep it until Linqing no matter what!"

"Fight for a fucking hand!"

"I'll go!"

Everyone waved their fists one after another. What else do they have except for a bad life? It would be better to bet on their lives to have a better tomorrow.

"good!"

Zhao Xiucai said: "Since everyone agrees, we have made an appointment to gather at the east end of the village at the third evening tonight and go together. When it gets dark, we can only bring food, pots and pans, except begging for bowls. If you go to the ground, you will give it to the bandits. Finally, remember that you must not leave and reveal the news. If anyone is not very nervous, let's beat him to death, a bitch to death!"

"Who dares to leak the secret? I, Erzhuzi, will not let him go!"

Erzhuzi swept everyone fiercely!

"Don't worry, we're leaving, who will be unable to get along with me?"

Everyone agreed repeatedly.

At the third update that night, dozens of villagers gathered secretly at the east end of the village. There were also some women and children in a hurry, carrying a small package. After counting the number of people, they quickly disappeared into the night.

This scene was staged in Shanxi and Henan, and groups of ragged people gathered towards the designated four locations. Of course, not everyone could take this step. Some people didn't take it seriously, while others were looking forward to it and never made up their minds. Opportunities were always left to those who were prepared.

It will take some time for northern immigrants to enter Jiaozhi. Li Xinke couldn't wait that long. After he handed over all the matter to Xu Yixian and Yang Daniu, he led his troops out of Zhennan Pass.

Back in Guangzhou, Li Xin ordered Li Shuangxi's Eighth Army to be transferred to Shaoguan and attack Jiangxi in two groups with Gao Yigong's troops. Among them, Li Shuangxi's Eighth Army went on the outside line, marched through Ganzhou and Ji'an into Nanchang, Gao Yigong's Seventh Army went on the inside line, marched through Ruijin, Fuzhou and Yingtan into Nanchang.

He also ordered Huang Degong's Fifth Army and Wu Changgong's Ninth Army to march from Guangxi to Hunan.

Bai Guangen's Sixth Army and Wang Qiang's Tenth Army went north directly and forced Jiujiang. From this, it can be seen that Li Xin was planning to take action against Zhang Xianzhong.

Among Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and the Qing Dynasty, Li Xin recognized that Zhang Xianzhong was the weakest and the situation was the worst.

He himself took the Marine Corps and ordered the East China Sea Fleet to mobilize some ships to meet him in Nanjing and go to Jiujiang together to decide whether to take advantage of the victory to attack the two lakes.

Riding the wind and waves all the way, the fleet sailed into the Yangtze River estuary in late May. According to the plan, the escort warships would return to Guangzhou, and the remaining ships would also be docked at the port of Jiading (now Baoshan County, Shanghai) for a night before going to Nanjing. Li Xin planned to drop the women and return to Beijing from the canal.

"Huh? Why are there so many refugees on the pier?"

Changping pointed to the side in surprise.

There were several ships with canal shipping logos moored at the pier, and a group of people who looked like refugees were lined up to get ashore. Sun Di couldn't help but say, "I understand. This is not the northern farmers who went to Jiaozhi to settle down. Well, it should be true. Now, it's not like that. It's very fast."

Li Xin ordered: "Send the order to go to the dock, let's learn about the situation."

After vocabulary, a piece of open space was cleared in the dock area, and the fleet slowly approached the dock.

These people were indeed immigrants and were sent from the Linqing Transfer Station. Coincidentally, Zhao Xiucai and his group were also inside. They fled the village that night, worried that they would be wanted by Dashunchao. The food they brought was eaten in the mountains of Shanxi, so they could only eat the bark and grass roots to support Hebei, and then beg for food. Although Hebei had recovered peace, after several plunders of the Qing army, they had not yet recovered their vitality during the war. The local people were not rich and they were extremely limited.

In this way, when we arrived in Linqing, everyone was hungry and put on their backs. Fortunately, the announcement did not deceive them. Outside the city, they were intercepted by the police, asked about the situation, and took them to the dock. After waiting for two more days, it was not until nearly 300 immigrants came, and then drove southward, passed Yangzhou into the Yangtze River, and rushed to Jiading today and headed to Xiangshan, Zhejiang.

Although it is uncomfortable to nest on a narrow boat, it always settles down and no longer has to walk on both legs. It can also have enough food. It is especially unimaginable that there are three meals a day. In addition to breakfast, steamed buns, porridge and pickles, lunch and dinner, there are meat, sometimes big braised pork, or big braised fish!

You know, in my hometown in Shaanxi, you may not be able to eat a piece of shredded pork during the Chinese New Year!

There were two or three military doctors on each boat. On the one hand, they were tested for infectious diseases, and on the other hand, they were treated for some common minor diseases. In the past ten days of the trip, many people had a rosy complexion, had strength, and were full of energy, and did not have to work. This was the most comfortable time in their lives.

Even bored, many people watched the scenery on the boat and listened to the soldiers' introductions. Because Li Xin had not yet begun to abandon the canal and change it to the sea, the canal area was very prosperous, and the river surface was extremely busy. Coal, rice, silk, medicinal materials and various bulk cargoes pressed the ship very low, and the endless stream of ships closely connected the economic exchanges between Jiangnan and Beijing.

The wealth on both sides of the canal, the dense crops, the noisy market, the neat rows of quadrilateral courtyards, the delicate and exquisite clothes, and the smiles from the heart of people, all make them deeply envious of the good fortune of the people of the canal.

As the sea port of Songjiang Prefecture and the most important cargo distribution and turnover terminal along the Yangtze River, Jiading gives the impression of immigrants and is very different from that of the canal. The dock alone is much wider than the docks along the canal. The roads under your feet are flat cement roads. Everyone dares to swear that, let alone seeing them, even if you think about them, you never thought that there would be such a straight road in the world.

Along the river bank, there are dozens of harbor-shaped wharfs. After walking a boat, another one came over, and it never stopped. The docked boats were larger and more grand.

Everyone is in a good spirit, and can even see some blond hair and blue eyes, monster-shaped people, moving goods, and working.

"This is Jiangnan. I didn't expect that my second master is really here!"
