Chapter 207 The Donghu people are the ancestors of the Mongolians

At this time, Li Su said, "Brother Bu, no matter what, we should bury Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu and the dead first, but we have no food and manpower, what should we do now?"

Lu Bu thought about this for a long time, and then stopped thinking about it. He said, "You don't need to worry about food and grass. Now we need to recruit and organize the survivors. Post notices in crowded places to inform the elders and villagers of Jiuyuan County that we will provide money and food to recruit strong laborers aged 13 to 40 to form a new army. First bury all the victims, clean up all the places, and then organize training. Those who join the new army will go to Lu's mansion to receive food and silver, which will be distributed daily."

"Also, report the tragic situation here to the government office in Bingzhou and request support. First organize some peacekeeping teams and issue notices everywhere to keep the people safe. If anyone takes advantage of this crisis to rob or cause chaos, they will be executed immediately to serve as a warning to others!"

Li Su agreed and went to arrange the relevant matters himself, while Lu Bu stayed in Lu's Mansion and transferred an appropriate amount of food and supplies in the storage space of the space-time router system, as well as the silver seized from the Kyushu Silver Mine in Japan, to the secret room in Lu's Mansion.

Jiuyuan County, which was under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou in the Han Dynasty, is backed by the Daqing Mountains in the north and faces the Yellow River in the south. It is located in the Tumote Plain. Since ancient times, the people there have been tough and vigorous. The Han, Donghu, Hui, Manchu and other ethnic groups live here together. Among them, the Donghu people are relatively numerous and mainly live in the Agarutai Sumu in the west.

The current Bingzhou includes today's Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, and the Hetao Plain, and Wuyuan County was one of the eight counties in the Hetao area at that time and was under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou. The seat of Bingzhou was in Jinyang (now Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province), and it governed nine counties: Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, Xihe County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County, Yanmen County, Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, and Shang County.

The Donghu tribe is the predecessor of the Mongolian people. The modern Mongolia originated from the Donghu. The Donghu was an ethnic tribal alliance in northern China in ancient times, including many nomadic peoples at that time. After the Xiongnu weakened and split, the Donghu gradually differentiated into the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes, and part of the Xianbei later evolved into the Mongolian people. There are relevant records in the "Old Book of Tang" and other historical books. The Mengwu Shiwei tribe living in the Ergun River basin is considered to be one of the direct ancestors of the Mongolians.

After the Huns looted, most of the family's stored food and property savings were looted, and the civilians had a hard time surviving. After hearing that the main general defending the city, Lu Liang, had died in battle, the main general's son Lu Bu had posted a notice to reassure the people, distributing food and silver to those who would join the army. In order to survive for themselves and their families, the people who had no other way out came to Lu's mansion and signed up for enlistment. At one time, many people responded, and soon nearly a thousand people were recruited.

Lu Bu organized personnel in an orderly manner to properly bury all the victims. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic after the disaster, he also arranged personnel to mine coal, burn lime, clean and disinfect all places, and arranged relief porridge sheds so that the elderly, young and helpless people who survived the disaster could also eat porridge. Although the amount of porridge was only one-third of that of normal workers, it could at least keep them alive temporarily.

Soon, the civilians who survived the disaster in the ancient city of Machi were relieved and their lives returned to normal. Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, also appointed Zhang Yang, a military officer, to escort thousands of stones of grain to Jiuyuan to provide relief and comfort, and to settle the people and hearts of Jiuyuan.
