The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Li Dingguo had seen a lot of bizarre scenes in these troubled times, but it was the first time for him to see many women left behind in the camp in a hurry.

Without even asking, he guessed that this was probably done by that old pervert Luo Rucai.

These women are distributed in various camps, ranging from dozens to hundreds.

It was a hot day, and many people had only a few pieces of clothing left on them. Their bodies exuded an unpleasant stench, and most of them were so hungry that they were emaciated.

Even so, the cavalry soldiers who arrived were still agitated.

Fortunately, the rebels had strict discipline, and these women looked really pitiful, and nothing uncontrollable happened.

After asking about the situation, Li Dingguo said loudly: "Don't panic, we Yibu rebels never bully women.

I am busy with military duties and cannot help you. However, our commander-in-chief's army will arrive soon, and everyone will be saved by then. "

After saying these words, Li Dingguo left in a hurry with two battalions of cavalry guards.

His mission is to detect the movements of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's army, not to save people...

After the Cavalry Guard left, the women in the camp couldn't help but start talking again.

"Didn't the government say that these Yi tribe rebels are just like Li Chuang and Luo bandits? How come they look like good people?"

"I don't know if he's a good person or not, but he's definitely better than those lustful and hungry ghosts in Luo's bandit camp."

Someone else said pessimistically: "So what if they are good people? We were kidnapped by the bandits and humiliated. Even if we go back, we will be drowned in spittle."

Someone else said: "The man in the family is gone, most of the children are gone, and the neighbors are probably dead as well. Who will tell us?"

"You're right, it's good if we can save one life - several corpses have been carried out from the camp every day in the past few days, and it's not like you haven't seen them."

"···"

There are actually not many women who have the strength and mood to chat. Most of them are older women from the lower class.

They have long been tempered by suffering to have a tough nerve, and they know that the world is dangerous, so they are not depressed because of what they have experienced in the past few days.

But as far as the entire camp is concerned, like Xiao Huan, there are more women lying numb due to sudden changes in their lives and being unable to think about it for a moment - most of them are young women, or women who originally lived a decent life at home.

Because she was hungry, Ge Sanniang didn't chat for long and went back to lie down next to Xiao Huan.

She is twenty-eight years old, only five years older than Xiao Huan, and she looks ordinary.

She got married and had a baby when she was a teenager, but later due to famine and war, both the man and the baby died.

She lived in Nanyang City. Because she was good at weaving and had a quick mind, she was able to sell herself to the Xiao family as a servant.

She glanced at Xiao Huan, who was still looking blank next to her, and sighed: "Miss, you have to think about it, your parents are dead, and only you are left in the Xiao family. If you die too, the Xiao family will be the only one left." Completely cut off the blood and incense. If you go down, you won’t be able to see your parents.”

Xiao Huan's eyes moved again, but he remained silent.

Ge Sanniang was so hungry that her stomach ached, so she was too lazy to talk and fell asleep with half-closed eyes.

When the sun turned west, another group of soldiers finally came to the camp.

Just like what the general named Li Dingguo said, although the soldiers of the Kueibu rebel army looked strange, they did not just come up and drag any women to do things like animals. Instead, they quickly set up a pot and cooked porridge.

The fragrance of millet porridge made more women "alive" and spontaneously gathered at the place where the porridge was cooked.

Ge Sanniang got up and wanted to pull Xiao Huan over, but she couldn't do it because she was too hungry and had no strength.

In desperation, she could only go over and wait to see if she could bring a bowl to Xiao Huan.

"Everyone queue up to receive the porridge. Don't fight or mess around. If you don't obey, don't blame us for being rude!"

Seeing the women gathering, a man who looked like an officer started to drink.

Women are more likely to obey than men, and they will line up obediently when told.

Except for a very few of them with outstanding looks, most of them were taken to the camp and left alone. Only occasionally one or two gangsters with some conscience and some power would give them some leftovers.

Even so, many women went hungry for days.

Driven by the instinct of survival, more and more women gathered.

There were also some women who could not move, and were carried over one by one by the Huabu rebels who were searching the camp.

This is how Xiao Huan was carried here.

Two quarters of an hour later, the women finally had millet porridge.

After Ge Sanniang finished drinking, she ran over to feed Xiao Huan.

Whether it was because he was too hungry or because he had figured it out, Xiao Huan did not refuse to eat and drank the whole bowl of millet porridge.

After the women finished eating, a military and political officer began to speak.

"It's getting late today, so let's rest in the camp first. There are five hundred people in each camp. Those who can move help those who can't move, and tidy up the camp, especially hygiene.

If there is a dead person somewhere, you must report it in time and we will deal with it..."

Ge Sanniang listened to the military and political officer's speech and felt that it was quite kind, so she whispered to Xiao Huan: "It seems that these Yibu rebels are really good people. We have escaped."

Xiao Huan didn't respond.

Ge Sanniang took a look and found that she had fallen asleep.

This made Ge Sanniang feel relieved - as long as people can eat and sleep, it won't be a big deal.

Guards camp.

Handsome tent.

Liu Sheng asked: "Can the number of women in Luo Rucai's camp be counted?"

The person in charge of handling this matter was Chen Heng, a military and political officer of the Nanyang Guard Regiment. This was the first time he reported something to Liu Sheng alone, and he was quite nervous and excited.

"Reporting back to the Commander-in-Chief, we have already counted them. There are 8,576 people in total."

"So many?" Liu Sheng was surprised.

Chen Hengdao: "Based on the reaction of those women, many women have died in the past few days. The general estimates that the Luo thieves may have robbed tens of thousands of women and brought them to the camp to rape and humiliate them."

Since Liu Sheng traveled through time, he has seen a lot of troubled times, but when he learned about this incident, he couldn't help but slapped the table, "This Luo Rucai will definitely die a good death in the future!"

In fact, in troubled times, it is a common phenomenon for bandits, officers and soldiers to kidnap and rape women. In troubled times, people are worse than dogs, and women in troubled times are even worse.

Just kidnapping tens of thousands of women at once is rare even in troubled times.

Probably only the many massacres of the city after the Qing captives went south can be compared with this kind of thing. Because the massacre was inevitably accompanied by the rape and humiliation of women.

Due to successive years of famine in Nanyang, there are not many people in the city anymore. Even if you include the people in the suburbs, there are only hundreds of thousands of people.

During the Yangzhou Massacre, 800,000 people were killed in the city (it is estimated that many of them fled from the countryside to take refuge in the city). It is conceivable that tens of thousands of women were raped and humiliated during this process!

As for this time, it was a blessing that Li Zicheng and Luo Ru did not commit a massacre in Nanyang, otherwise Liu Sheng would really not mind getting rid of these two guys first.

After coming back to his senses, Liu Sheng said to Chen Heng: "After returning home, do a good job in ideological work for the soldiers, and then let the security regiment strengthen patrols at night. Don't let a few sperm get into the head and ruin the reputation of our Yibu Rebel Army."

"I will finally understand!"
