Chapter 5 Refugees

Li Yu looked at the sleeping woman and recalled her information.

Princess Pingyang is the legitimate daughter of Li Yuan, the Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, and the only beloved daughter of Li Yuan's legitimate wife Dou (Empress Dou).

In May of the 13th year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty (617 AD), Li Yuan decided to raise an army. Before Li Yuan raised his army, he informed Princess Pingyang in Chang'an that he secretly fled Chang'an and returned to the Li family manor in Wu County. He disguised himself as a man, claimed to be Mr. Li, and sold the local industry to provide relief to the victims. He soon recruited a team of hundreds of people. Soon, the news of Li Yuan's resurgence came. Princess Pingyang heard the news and was determined to recruit more military forces for her father.

Princess Pingyang contacted the anti-Sui rebels everywhere. Princess Pingyang recruited four or five rebels with a considerable scale in the world in more than three months, with her superhuman courage and talent. The largest of them was Hu Shang He Pan Ren, who had tens of thousands of people under him at that time.

Princess Pingyang sent Chai Shao's child Ma Sanbao to lobby He Panren to surrender. I don't know what methods Ma Sanbao used, but He Panren, whose power far exceeds Princess Pingyang, was actually willing to be Princess Pingyang's subordinate.

After Princess Pingyang incorporated He Panren, she successively incorporated Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili and other rebels, and their power increased greatly. During this period, the court continued to send troops to attack Princess Pingyang. The rebels led by Princess Pingyang not only defeated every attack, but also had a strong momentum, continuously capturing Zhengxian County, Zhouzhi, Wugong, Shiping.

This rebel army, with women as the commander, had very strict military disciplines. Princess Pingyang ordered her to do the orders, and the entire army respected her. In the years when the chaos was rising, this army was widely supported. The people called Princess Pingyang "Nanti-zi" and her army "Deputy of Women". The Deputy of Women was famous and many people came to join us from thousands of miles away.

Not long after, Princess Pingyang's wife's army had more than 70,000. Princess Pingyang's military intuition and insight were genius. Qu Tutong, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, had suffered several major defeats under her.

After the pacification of Guanzhong, Li Yuan named his outstanding beloved daughter "Princess Pingyang". Because of her outstanding military achievements, she was different from other princesses every time she gave her a reward.

This is a strange woman, but unfortunately she passed away early. Li Yu seemed to remember that it was about five years old in Wude, Xiang Xiaoyu. Since she came here and met her again, she would completely change her destiny and not waste her fate of meeting her again.

At the same time, Li Yu finally understood why Princess Pingyang stayed in Zheng County. It turned out that she wanted to recruit soldiers here, planned to sweep Guanzhong, cooperated with Li Yuan to capture Chang'an and achieve the foundation of the Li family.

After Li Yuan, who was in the Record of Li Yu, took Chang'an, Li Yuan announced that he would respect Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang as the Supreme Emperor, and supported Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang as the emperor, and changed the reign of Emperor Yi Ning to be Emperor Gong of Sui. Emperor Gong of Gong of Sui was appointed as the King of Tang and the Prime Minister. In March of the following year, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang was killed by the general of the imperial army in Jiangdu. In the fifth month of the same year, Emperor Gong of Sui was forced to abdicate in Li Yuan. Li Yuan, the emperor was located in Chang'an, and the country was named Tang, established the Yuan Wude, and established the capital Chang'an, which was Emperor Gaozu of Tang.

That is what will happen this year and next year, suddenly Li Yu smiled on his face, and he felt that it was quite interesting to participate in such a historical event.

Uncle Fu looked at Li Yu thinking, with a smile on his face, and asked again: "Young Master, have you considered helping our lady?"

"I'll think about it again, there's no hurry for the time being." Li Yu did not agree directly.

After hearing this, Uncle Fu didn't persuade anything. Rebellion is a big deal after all. If it fails, it will cause a loss of mind. It is normal for others to be cautious.

Li Yu and Uncle Fu chatted for a while. He felt that Li Yu was aware of astronomy and knew everything, but he found that Li Yu didn't even know many of the ordinary things in life, which made him very strange.

"Cough! Cough cough..."

Just as he was chatting with Uncle Fu, he heard a cough. Uncle Fu hurriedly ran over and asked with concern: "Miss, are you finally awake?"

"Just just woke up!" Li Xiuning finished speaking weakly, moving her body was about to turn over.

"Don't move! Don't move! Don't tear the wound open again, I have to stitch it once." Li Yu quickly stood up and persuaded.

"Thank you here, Mrs. Li, thank you. You saved me again." Li Xiuning saw that it was Li Yu who saved him again, and smiled on her face and said thank you.

Li Yu felt strange when he heard Li Xiuning call herself Li. According to historical records, Li Xiuning should now marry Chai Shao. According to the customs of this era, she should call herself Chai Li.

However, Li Yu didn't think much about it in his heart, maybe there was something hidden in others.

"Haha! It means we are destined to be together, so we always let us meet." Li Yu smiled and said indifferently.

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, the room suddenly became silent.

When Fu Bo looked at Li Yu with a strange look, Li Xiuning blushed like the sunset in the summer evening.

Li Yu looked at the two of them with a strange expression. Didn’t people in later generations say that? Are these ancients so feudal?

Li Xiuning's face turned slightly red, in order to break the embarrassment: "Uncle Fu, I'm hungry, go and ask the servants to make some food for me, right?"

"I'm hungry, okay. I know that hunger means that I'm fine. I'll go and ask my servants to cook for you now." Uncle Fu's joy was beyond words.

Li Yu saw that there were only two people left in the room and said nothing, "Your injury is fine. I just sewed it on you. As long as you don't get infected in the future, it should be fine."

"Infection! What is infection?" Li Xiuning opened her eyes like a little girl at this moment.

"It is the redness and swelling caused by bacteria entering the wound, rotting the wound, high fever, and finally..."

Li Yu paused when he said this. He believed that Li Xiuning would understand. She was still in the treatment and said that she was dead and alive. Isn’t it a bit unlucky?

Li Xiuning didn't care about anything, but was a little sad: "I have seen what you said infectious. My father led his troops to fight in the past. Many soldiers were injured. It looked not serious. In the end, just like what you said, it was redness, swollen wounds, rotten wounds, and high fever. In the end, most of the soldiers died."

After saying that, Li Xiuning asked curiously again: "By the way! What exactly is the bacteria you just mentioned?"

Li Yu discovered that Princess Pingyang at this moment was like the little girl in later generations, and was curious about everything. He smiled: "Bacteria are very small bacteria. Of course, our eyes cannot see them. You have to use a microscope to see those bacteria."

"What is that microscope? Why haven't I heard of it?" Li Xiuning asked again with a look of surprise. She heard new knowledge she had never heard of today, which made her very curious.

Li Yu is idle and has nothing to do now, so he plans to popularize natural sciences for the future Princess Pingyang.

"The microscope is made of high-definition glass, which can enlarge the things we cannot see to more than hundreds of thousands of times, so that we can see very small microorganisms."

"What is glass? How can it be enlarged by hundreds of thousands of times?" Li Xiuning's eyes widened.

“Glass is….”

After Uncle Fu delivered the food, Li Xiuning stopped asking questions about natural science.

...

"You know my current identity as Mr. Li. Can you work with me to create great achievements?" Li Xiuning had used food and stopped asking about natural science, but asked about the topic of recruiting Li Yu.

"It's okay to help you, but I won't be your subordinate, I just want to help you. In addition, I don't want any official position. What do you think?" Li Yu put forward his own conditions.

After hearing Li Yu's words, Li Xiuning didn't know how to reply to him.

Is there anyone in the world who helps for nothing, don’t have any credit or official positions?

"If you agree, I will stay and help you. If you disagree, just pretend you didn't say it, and I didn't hear it." Li Yu saw her shocked expression and understood what she was thinking.

Li Xiuning finally reluctantly agreed to Li Yu's conditions. She felt that Li Yu was very strange, completely different from others. She had never seen such a strange person before. No, she had never heard of such a person.

...

One hour later.

Li Yu left Li Xiuning's residence and told Uncle Fu that he would go around the neighborhood.

Li Yu left the manor, and invisibly drove the Hongling and headed towards Qingzhou.

Since Li Xiuning wanted to recruit soldiers in Zheng County, she would definitely recruit nearby refugees. She could not compete with her for refugees, so she had to go to a farther place to recruit refugees.

Li Yu came to Qingzhou and after inquiring, he found out that the south of Qingzhou City was a gathering area for refugees arranged by the government.

As soon as he arrived in the south of the city, Li Yu heard a burst of noisy voices coming from the front, mixed with quarrels and curses.

The place where refugees can gather in the south of the city is not big, and now it is a time of chaos in the world. At this time, refugees here gather about a few thousand people less than a mile, including men, women, young, women and children. They are divided into groups, each with a rotten pot in the center of each group, and the fire is set on the bottom. The things inside seem to have been cooked.

Li Yu saw from a distance that most of the rotten pots were leaves, wild vegetables and some sporadic corn. At most, these things made them unable to starve to death, and they were alive in breathlessness. Don’t think about nutritional things.

When the refugees in the gathering area saw Li Yu coming, some refugees stood up and looked at him.

When they stood up, Li Yu saw it even more clearly. They were all ragged, thin, pale and thin, and many people were even hungry as if they were skinny.

"This is a refugee..." Li Yu was surprised when he looked at the refugee with a blank expression and a dull look. It seemed that these people had been in the city for a long time, and they were even less clothing and food than those who had collected space in Zheng County.

In the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang increased his taxes and levies and levies, and the eighteen anti-kings attacked each other and occupied territory. In addition, the Turks went south to harass him, which further exacerbated the survival crisis of the people. The people could not survive, so they had to leave their hometowns and avoid war. The closer they were to the border, the more refugees there were, the more chaos, and the country was in chaos. Who could control the resistance to foreign tribes, and the soldiers were all transferred by the court to quell the rebellion.

This was not the first time Li Yu saw this situation in one day. Seeing them like this, whether they were human or ghost, they were still a little shocked.

Li Yu was walking around the refugee gathering area and watching the refugees begging Li Yu one after another, but Li Yu ignored it because he was penniless now, not to mention that he planned to secretly come over to take these refugees into space at night and completely help them live a normal life.

The most important thing now is to get food, otherwise they will be taken into space and let these refugees go hungry.

Li Yu was thinking about how to get food when he heard a noise coming. He looked up and saw a beautiful girl in the distance, who was caught by a decent dressed young man from a noble family and wanted to be taken away forcibly.
