Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

They are die-hard traitors.

It is now very difficult for them to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Shi family was entrusted with an important task by Wanyan Xiyin.

He traveled extensively to persuade Han Chinese gentry left behind by the Liao dynasty to relocate.

These Han Chinese gentry from the north

He did not flee when the Liao Dynasty fell.

The Jurchens did not leave when they attacked.

They are equally unwilling to leave now.

Even if they have members of their clan,

He was serving as an official in Liaodong.

They still couldn't persuade them to relocate.

Without any choice,

Wanyan Xiyin had no choice but to mobilize the army.

Those who refuse to relocate will be beheaded.

The Han Chinese gentry in the north were so frightened that they yielded.

But many were still in the process of relocation.

They waited for an opportunity to escape in the dark of night.

Some gentry managed to escape.

But many more gentry were killed by the pursuing troops.

The killing was so fierce that heads rolled everywhere.

Finally, no one dared to run away anymore.

.....

The town of Sanhe is in a state of disrepair.

There was no one living inside or outside the city.

All that remains are piles of white bones.

On this day, however, countless soldiers and civilians...

They set up camp outside the city.

While preparing the meal, Liu Ni asked:

"Brother, we finally managed to move back,"

"Do we really have to move to Liaodong again?"

Liu E said, "The Jurchen and Bohai soldiers have been keeping a close watch on us all the way."

"Where would we have a chance to escape and join the Ming Dynasty?"

The Liu family are long-standing traitors.

It has been reduced to gold for many years.

Before Emperor Huizong of Song redeemed Youzhou,

Their entire clan was relocated to Liaodong by the Jin dynasty.

They migrated along with more than 20,000 other people from the county.

The Jin dynasty had not made any proper resettlement measures at the time.

They were also unwilling to provide food relief to the starving people.

This resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 people in the northern regions.

Nearly a third of them died in succession.

Three years ago, some members of the Liu clan...

He then led three or four thousand fellow villagers back to the area.

The current situation is,

The Liu family and fellow villagers,

They were separated between Youzhou and Liaodong.

Once Liu E surrenders to the Ming,

The Liaodong people will inevitably be implicated.

Chapter 3196 Fugitives

Liu E, however, had no time to worry about his ethnic minorities in Liaodong.

But Wanyan Zongwang was already dead.

The newly arrived Wanyan Xiyin did not trust him.

From the beginning of the migration to the journey itself,

Jurchen soldiers were deployed to keep a close watch on the entire process!

Liu Ni suddenly came up with a terrible idea:

"How about around midnight tonight?"

"Have people set fires and shout that the Ming army is coming."

"At that time, the soldiers and civilians in the camp will inevitably be thrown into chaos,"

"I wonder how many people escaped,"

"We can also take advantage of the chaos to escape."

Liu E countered, "In the chaos, how many soldiers and civilians can you take with you?"

"Too few people were taken to the Ming Dynasty,"

"How did my Liu family gain such high regard in the Ming Dynasty?"

Liu Ni was speechless.

Those who share the same idea,

It's clear that Liu Ni wasn't the only one.

At the fourth watch of the night, all was quiet.

A camp suddenly caught fire.

Then someone shouted, "The Ming army is attacking!"

Judging from that accent,

They were either Khitans or Xi people.

These two ethnic groups were the most resistant to the rule of the Jin Dynasty.

Those guys even rode around recklessly on horseback.

They set fires wherever they went.

This caused the various camps to become increasingly chaotic.

Many small tribes that already wanted to escape

Take the opportunity to cooperate.

While setting fire and shouting,

They fled south in a chaotic manner.

Some even panicked and chose the wrong path.

They fled north in a daze.

The Jin soldiers, terrified by the Ming army's defeats,

They thought the Ming Dynasty had truly broken its promise.

The Jurchen and Bohai soldiers, who had been dispatched with a large army for a night raid, instinctively fled.

Wanyan Xiyin led his personal guards to suppress and appease the situation.

After working until dawn, they finally managed to stabilize the army.

He then dispatched cavalry to capture people everywhere.

Liu E, who always intended to defect to the Ming Dynasty,

Surprisingly, they didn't take the opportunity to escape.

Instead, it helped Wanyan Xiyin gather the remaining troops.

The next day, he even helped Wanyan Xiyin capture the fugitive.

Because they wanted to escape not for survival.

Rather, it was to perpetuate the family's prosperity.

The escape must be worthwhile!

The betrayal must be worthwhile!

The journey ahead,

All the people had to walk by straddling ropes.

Furthermore, various ethnic groups were mixed together.

Twenty people per group.

If one person escapes, the entire group will be punished.

They continued on to the coastal road.

Wanyan Xiyin counted the number of people.

He was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

Since the beginning of spring

The total number of soldiers and civilians who escaped was nearly 40,000 (in fact, many were killed by the pursuers)!

Wanyan Xiyin personally led his troops to garrison in Haiyang (Qinhuangdao).

Block the soldiers and civilians from escaping.

At the same time, they sent people to find the remaining wheat transported from the Ming Dynasty.

Ma Kuo rushed over in a huff.

He started swearing at me as soon as we met.

"You still have the nerve to ask me for wheat?"

"Another large number of Jin soldiers and civilians fled to Hebei,"

"They burned, killed, and looted along the way,"

"It caused the Ming Dynasty countless losses."

"Our Great Ming Dynasty still needs to send troops,"

"Use military rations to wipe out these bandits!"

Wanyan Xiyin completely broke down, drew his sword and roared:

"The thief cries 'Stop thief!'"

"I am going to kill you!"
