39 Refugees

Somewhere in the capital, on a fork in the road when Hu Guang went to Mangui's command camp, he saw a large group of soldiers from the five-city military commanders shouting something in the distance of the street on the left. In front of them, although they were blocked, they could see that there seemed to be a lot of people there.

One advantage of his inspection is that no one knew he was coming in advance, so he saw that it was unpainted. There was such a big noise there, and it was obvious that something was wrong.

Hu Guang frowned and pulled the reins, and wanted to turn the horse forward.

Gao Shiyue had already seen the situation there following the emperor's eyes. Seeing that the emperor wanted to go over, he quickly stopped and advised: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the situation is there. Wait until I send someone to check and arrange it before I can set off?"

When Hu Guang heard this, he waved his hand and said, "This is in the capital city. I have you protected me. What can I do? No need to worry, go!"

The emperor did not listen to the advice, and Gao Shiyue had no choice but to signal Fang Zhenghua to protect the emperor with a thumbs-up.

As soon as these more than two hundred horses started running, the sound of the horse's hooves sounded a little. Before they got close, the people over there heard the sound and turned to look over.

As soon as Gao Shiyue waved his hand, two eunuchs drove their horses and accelerated, ran over first, and shouted: "The emperor is here, everyone will kneel down to greet him!"

One of the main tasks of these two people is to urge all the soldiers there to put down their weapons just in case.

When I saw Huang Luo umbrella, I heard the eunuch's sharp voice. Even if I didn't know about it in advance, I knew that no one would pretend to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty must have arrived.

After the initial silence, the people there put down their weapons and knelt down to greet them.

Seeing the people in front of him kneeling down, Hu Guang was on the high horse again, and he immediately saw that there were countless people wearing ordinary clothes on the other side of the soldiers in the five cities.

Hu Guang was stunned when he was close. These people looked abnormal. They were wearing various clothes to keep warm, but even so, many people were not enough to resist the coldness of the severe winter, and they knelt there and shivered.

Also, these people have unkempt and dirty faces. Even if some of them have more appropriate clothes, they are the same. It is obvious that they have not been dealt with for many days. None of the faces of each person are normal. Seeing this, one word naturally comes to mind: refugees!

After Hu Guang arrived, he stopped his horse and the eunuchs such as Fang Zhenghua hurried forward, but did not exceed him but got as close as possible. He was tense and his eyes were staring in front of him, like an eagle eye scanning a possible prey.

This is a square, but it is already crowded. At several street intersections outside the square, refugees and soldiers from the Five City Military Command were confronting each other. Of course, they are all kneeling on the ground now.

Hu Guang's eyes swept over, and suddenly his pupils shrank. He saw that on the side of the refugee confronting him, there were many people lying on the ground motionless, both men, women, young and old, mostly elderly and weak, and obviously they had been dead for a long time.

Just as he was about to say something, a child suddenly shouted in panic on the quiet street: "Mom, mom, what's wrong with you? Wake up, mom..."

Most of the people present heard this sound and knew what was going on. They were either numb, or because the emperor was coming, they both knelt down and didn't dare to move. Even the people around the child dared to move.

Hu Guang looked at the sound and saw a child wrapped in various fabrics beside him, a woman with thin clothes tilted to the side and lay on the ground, obviously unconscious.

Seeing that no one moved, he immediately roared, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you save someone quickly!"

When Hu Guang finally shouted, he was at the eunuch beside him. Suddenly, an eunuch immediately turned over and dismounted, quickly walked over the slightly turbulent crowd, arrived at the child, helped the woman lying on the ground for a while, and then loudly reported: "Your Majesty, she is caused by hunger and cold, and she must keep warm as soon as possible and eat."

Perhaps Hu Guang's performance just now gave the refugees a little more courage, so when the eunuch finished speaking, the first sound suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Your Majesty, save us, the grass people!"

When the first sound came, the second, third, and then countless sounds sounded: "Your Majesty, save us!"

After the refugees finished speaking, many people could no longer help but cry.

While talking, many people who were already in a hurry could still squeeze warmer, but now they knelt on the ground because of the arrival of the emperor. Without the heater that was huddled together to keep warm, they fell back to the ground and fainted when the cold north wind blew.

Among these people, it’s better if they have relatives around them, but they can help them down because there are examples in advance so as not to lie on the cold ground. Those who have no relatives or are not around them just lie on the cold ground.

Hu Guang looked at these scenes and suddenly remembered an incident in the memory of Emperor Chongzhen, namely Ma Maocai's "Baichen Daxing Memorial". The memorial was written in it, which was simply hell on earth.

Although what I saw now is not that miserable, I have seen with my own eyes that life can disappear in front of me in a flash. This is still under the feet of the emperor, in the capital city. The far side of Shaanxi is probably written in the memorial, which is far from the actual situation.

If his soul penetrated into ordinary people in Shaanxi and thought about the tragic endings that parents, brothers and sisters would encounter one by one, Hu Guang couldn't help but shudder and didn't dare to think about it.

He looked at the crowd trembling in the cold wind in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little sore and a little painful. People's hearts are full of flesh, not to mention that Hu Guang is still the soul from later generations.

At this moment, what he thought about made him secretly swear in his heart that even if there is no pressure to eliminate the system, he must do his best to change the history of hell on earth in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Ding, the system detected that the subjective initiative of the host ZTE Ming Dynasty met the standard. Here we remind: Starting from the third year of Chongzhen, the drought in the north of the Ming Dynasty became even more serious and affected the northern provinces. Please prepare in advance!"

Hu Guang was speechless when he heard this. It was only more than ten days later that the three years of Chongzhen were happening. However, Jianlu was still raging in the capital. According to the historical progress, when Jianlu came out of seclusion, the capital of the capital returned to peace, and the three years of Chongzhen were half over. This prompt is actually not much different from that of any or not.

OK, don't worry about this before you solve the matter in front of you first. Hu Guang thought so and suddenly shouted loudly: "Why are you still standing there? You all save people."

In the middle of the square, there are several fires that can keep warm. However, the location is limited and they are occupied by some strong refugees. However, now the emperor spoke, and the people who were rescued were brought over and approached the fire easily.
