The busiest part during this period was Yang Jingfa. He divided the entire cavalry team into several. Four teams were patrolling along the road, collecting and transmitting messages. It was possible to supplement supplies and medicine for the team. The remaining teams were fighting and robbing houses everywhere, causing trouble! It was easier to divert the attention of the government and prevent the government from paying attention to this huge refugee team.

Because except for Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, no government wants to have a large number of refugees in their territory. Because that means chaos and disorder and a large amount of food consumption. Once the local government finds that the refugee team crosses the border, it either sends officers and soldiers to intercept it or simply sends people to drive it away. Fortunately, Yang Jingfa is very capable in doing things and attracts the attention of many government officials.

No matter how long the road is, there will always be an end. As the elderly and weak and the poor are gradually eliminated from the team, the rest are strong people. Even the distance they travel every day has increased a lot.

On this day, Hao Yun walked out of a small hill along the road that the team ahead had long stepped on. He saw the sea from afar! There was a huge camp entrenched there by the sea, which was one of the several gathering camps prepared by Liu Pei!

Hao Yun turned around and shouted to the team: "Friends, our good days are here! From today on, we don't have to walk anymore, we will take a boat instead! The camp in front was arranged by my master! Everyone will drink broth when they come in!"

After hearing Hao Yun's words, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the crowd! Everyone accelerated their pace and walked towards the camp.

When they arrived at the camp gate, Hao Yun stopped the team. After a long period of training, the entire team had basically implemented orders. As soon as they stopped in front of the camp gate, a large number of people came out. Hao Yun, the person who led the leader, still knew him! He was a companion in Xiong Fu camp. However, he was always weak and could not be a soldier, so he had to follow the path of a civil servant.

At this time, his eyes were covered in blood and his face was pale. He saw Hao Yun not even bothering to call him, and said directly: "Where is your roster?"

Hao Yun took out a list from the bag and handed it over with his hands. The clerk took the list and did not rush to read it, but asked in a hoarse voice: "How many were they damaged on the road?"

Hao Yun said sadly: "About 25%! Those who have their names on the list are all those who have lost their names!"

The little official breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Hao, don't be sad either. Along the way, your team has suffered few losses! There is another team that has almost been lost!"

Hao Yun was shocked and said, "How could this happen?"

The little official shook his head and said, "There is a little lady in a team, and the whole family is dead. Later, she is matched with a refugee. I originally hoped that she could live a peaceful life, but I didn't know that this person was crazy! Later, when she was cooking, she threw a lot of poisonous mushrooms in the porridge pot! As a result, hundreds of people died that day! In addition, there were almost two thousand people who died in the subsequent deaths! I don't know why she accumulated so many poisonous mushrooms?"

Hao Yun felt miserable at the time! This woman probably had no good ending, but she had implicated so many people! But it was not the time to pay attention to her at this time. Hao Yun asked, "What should I do with this group of people?"

The little official said, "I will count the number of people immediately and then ship them all to Taiwan."

Both sides counted the people and completed the handover procedures. Hao Yun took his small team of people to escort the team to Jiaozhou and embarked on the way back to Jiaozhou. Hao Yun rarely spoke along the way. He remembered the dead people, the indifference of the government and the greed of the gentry and the wealthy gentry. For the first time, he felt that maybe this world should not exist!

Liu Pei was also very busy at this time! His personnel had been mobilized to the extreme! They were all working for the arrival of these refugees.

After some refugees were disbanded, they stayed directly in Shandong to open up land. The other part was directly transferred to Taiwan and Ryukyu by boat. Fortunately, Liu Pei had the final say at sea, so he could mobilize a large number of ships to transport the victims!

Liu Pei not only used the fleet, but also rented a large number of ships. At that time, the fleets on the sea were flowing continuously, and the disaster victims were transported day and night. At the peak of the arrival of the inside, Liu Pei even rented a larger fishing boat, which barely met the needs.

Finally, after statistics, there were more than 400,000 refugees who stayed in Shandong, and more than 200,000 were transferred directly to Taiwan. Later, more than 100,000 refugees who stayed in Shandong were transported to Taiwan one after another! In other words, Liu Pei saved more than 700,000 people who should have died in history!

The arrival of this group of refugees put a heavy burden on Liu Pei, while also laying a solid foundation for Liu Pei. From then on, Liu Pei began to acquire a large number of people on the mainland and gather refugees.

The average number of people transported to Taiwan every year will not be less than 30,000.

When Liu Pei finally got the final number, he felt both sad and happy!

What is happy is that he saved so many lives. What is sad is that there are many people who died along the way. Preliminary statistics show that the number of people who died along the way is no less than 120,000! Liu Pei still regrets that he is not able to save more people!

However, what Liu Pei didn't know was that he actually saved more people! Because hundreds of thousands of people were transferred by Liu Pei in Shanxi and Shaanxi, this greatly reduced the pressure on the Ming Dynasty court and the local government. At the same time, it also reduced the local food consumption, allowing more victims to have enough food to maintain the arrival of relief! It can even be said that Liu Pei's operation has countless people alive!

However, what Liu Pei unexpectedly expected was that his rescue operation has strengthened the bandits! You should know that in the next few years, those bandits will still have a lot of fun after the disaster in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Liu Pei's action retained more people for Shanxi and Shaanxi! These survivors were all extremely poor people, which meant more soldiers to the bandits. As a result, the court's action to eliminate bandits became even more difficult! If Liu Pei knew that his actions would have such a result, he would be amused and crying.

"Notes from Caotang" by an old scholar from Shandong

In the summer of the second year of Chongzhen, I suddenly heard the people in the village shouting, and there was also a bell ringing! Then I stood up and saw the green and strong guarding the village with their weapons. Looking outside the village, I saw a crowd like a long dragon without seeing the head and tail! They all looked like refugees! However, refugees were very strange and did not enter the village to beg for food. They all formed formations and passed around the village! The river flowed continuously within more than ten days! After that, three or two transits were also transiting every day.

The army like this is a team of two or three thousand, or five or six thousand. There are both young and young. Each team of young and young are at the top and bottom, old and weak are at the center, and there are also large trucks, all of which are loaded with grain bags of old and weak. Those who still have red scarves are running around and think they are the leader.

The villagers were very afraid of it! They were afraid that the refugees would cause trouble! However, no refugees entered the village for more than ten days, so people were at ease! Those who were interested in asking questions did not answer. If they asked again, they would drive them away if they had a red scarf on their heads. The villagers then thought it was fun and looked at it every day. I was also surprised.
