Chapter 710
A house in the east of Gaizhou City occupies a relatively large area.But even under the dim moonlight, one could see that the house was dilapidated, and the courtyard walls were uneven, which was obviously caused by the owner's lack of money to repair them.

On the kang of a large house inside, four people lay quietly.They squeezed tightly against each other and remained motionless.

I don't know when, the voice of "Gulu Gulu" suddenly sounded, and then a weak voice of a little boy rang out: "Father, mother, I'm hungry!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a girl's voice, which was also weak and timid: "Mother, father, my daughter is cold!"

The woman lying on the left outside heard this, sighed, and said in the same weak voice: "Hey, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep! Tomorrow morning, mother will cook porridge for you, thicker!"

The man on the other side tried to squeeze in a little tighter, touched his daughter, and sighed: "It's a big winter without firewood. No matter how economical you are, you won't be able to survive this winter. I think I'll cut some firewood tomorrow." Come back and burn the fire pit!"

All of their family speaks Chinese, so they are obviously Han Chinese.

"Father, you are so hungry that you can't walk, you have the strength to go out of the city!" The woman said helplessly, and then said with a little resentment, "The Ming army is really vicious, and they are about to harvest in autumn. It ruined all the food in the field! Thanks to me, I hoped that the Ming army would recover Liaodong and drive the Jianlu away!"

"Yes, if it weren't for this, grandpa and grandma wouldn't starve to death!" The little girl was obviously older, and she also said with hatred, "The dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty climbed up from the [-]th floor of hell to harm the common people!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The man reprimanded him.

The little girl was probably angry, not convinced, and immediately said back: "Those gentlemen all said the same thing, and Wang Er and the others next door said the same thing. Everyone said the same thing. Could it be false?"

Obviously, Huang Taiji's public opinion strategy still played a certain role. Not only Jianlu, but even the Han people had resentment towards the Ming army and the Ming emperor.

After hearing this, the man was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Anyway, Jianlu is not a good thing!"

After speaking, the room fell silent again.After a while, the man suddenly sighed, and said in a low voice: "In this war, both sides will use all methods. In the end, we ordinary people will suffer the most! It's an old saying, I'd rather be a peace dog Don't be a random person!"

Hearing this, the woman hugged her pair of children in silence for a while, then suddenly burst into tears.When the two children heard this, they comforted their mother, but the man did not speak. He knew that his wife was worried that the family would not survive this winter.

The man just looked at the roof like that, and didn't feel sleepy. He thought for a while quietly, and after the woman stopped crying, he said unwillingly: "Officials only care about themselves, even if it's a high-ranking emperor. It is also his country. For this, we are constantly fighting, and who cares about us ordinary people! Before, I was naive enough to think that our life would be better if the Ming army came back. Now it seems that, In fact, they are all the same, the common people are not taken seriously by them at all, alas..."

After a long sigh, the room became quiet again.

I don't know when, it seems that there is something moving outside.The whole family was so hungry that they couldn't sleep, the little boy spoke first: "There is a voice, it's dawn! Mom, it's time to cook porridge!"

"Shut up!" The man's voice raised a little bit, and after he said something, he listened intently.The whole family also listened quietly and attentively.

"Why does it sound like a cry of killing?" The woman asked a little suspiciously, "Did I hear it wrong?"

After a while, the sound became louder, mixed with the sound of horseshoes. There was no doubt that there was chaos outside.

Hearing the voice clearly, the woman became frightened and squeezed towards the man with the child in her arms.

The man wanted to figure it out, but he didn't have the energy to get out of bed and go out of the house. He was really hungry and it was too cold outside.It will be colder when the door is opened and closed!

After confirming that there was shouting to kill outside, the whole family was a little scared.They don't know who and who is fighting outside, but as long as there is a fight, it will be chaotic.In addition to chaotic soldiers, there will also be people who take the opportunity to smash and loot.I don't know if people like myself will be affected after dawn tomorrow?

In troubled times, life is really too hard!
In Gaizhou City, many people have the same thoughts as this family, hiding in their homes, waiting helplessly for their fate tomorrow!
To their surprise, the shouting outside stopped earlier than they expected, it seemed that it took about an hour before and after.Then I heard the footsteps of soldiers outside, and the sound of horseshoes.

Many people are a little nervous, afraid that the winning side will start to rob the whole city. This kind of situation should not be too common in this world.

However, they just worried all night and nothing happened.When it was just dawn, someone beat the gong and shouted in the streets and alleys, which made them understand that Gaizhou was actually occupied by the Ming army!This point, they never thought of it anyway, it just fell from the sky, full of inconceivable!You know, this is winter!Isn't the Ming army all cats in the city, and if there are soldiers outside, they can only be Jianlu's soldiers?
What surprised them even more was that some bold people went out to see that these Ming soldiers were full of energy in the cold wind, and their military discipline was strict. They walked in a straight line and the ranks were neat.After dawn, Gaizhou City was not as chaotic as imagined.

The man in that family looked around at the door for a while, then returned to the house and said to his wife and children: "These Ming soldiers seem to be pretty good, and they don't seem to be disturbing the people at all!"

The woman was skeptical after hearing this, and when she was about to speak, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the yard outside.Immediately, the faces of several people in the house turned pale with fright, and the man hurried forward to protect his wife and children behind him, and looked at the door.

The footsteps quickly reached the door, and then I heard Daming's official words: "My lord, I just saw someone in this room, so I should be inside!"

When the man heard this, he couldn't help feeling very regretful, he shouldn't have gone out to watch the excitement!Now it's all right, let's get into trouble!
At this time, a shrill voice sounded, commanding: "Open!"

"Yes!"

Then someone pushed the door, but found that the door was bolted from the inside, and the previous Daming official words rang again: "Hurry up and open the door, the master supervisor is here!"

The man didn't know what kind of official the supervisor was, but he knew right now that he couldn't escape.If he didn't open the door, the soldiers outside would be annoyed, and the result would definitely be worse.In desperation, he had no choice but to go forward and open the door.
