Chapter 35: Zhou Yujie
"Click..."
Just as the whip was about to hit the child's head, a glimmer of cold light flashed, and the arm of the sergeant who held the whip was cut off by someone with a sword. The whip and the arm fell to the ground simultaneously.
"Ah..."
The leader of a hundred households let out a cry of pain and fell off his war horse, leaving dozens of soldiers and refugees under his command dumbfounded.
After they reacted, they all turned to look at the person who had cut off the leader's arm.
There stood a general in armor, holding a majestic sword, imposingly behind the centurion.
At this moment, he gazed coldly at the soldiers of the Five City Army, with a dozen similarly fully armed soldiers following behind him.
Soldiers from the Fifth City Garrison are used to bullying the refugees, but when they saw that the person approaching was a general, not a single one dared to step forward to defend their superior or seek revenge on behalf of the hundred households.
A person who arrived happened to be Zhou Yujie, one of the leaders of the East Palace Guard. He was ordered to assist the Five Cities Military Department in relocating refugees.
Passing by here, he happened to see soldiers beating a child. Zhou Yujie was furious and drew his sword to cut off the soldier's arm.
Many armies during the late Ming Dynasty were extremely corrupt, most notably those under the command of Liu Zeqing and Zuo Liangyu. Plundering the people was almost a daily occurrence for them. The army of Shanxi's General Wang Pu also frequently committed acts of killing innocent people and taking credit for achievements.
Only the teams under the command of Zhou Yiji, Sun Yingyuan, Huang Degong, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, etc. are among the few disciplined armies. Although they are not completely without faults, they rarely harm the common people.
周遇吉手中滴血的宝剑空中一挥厉声喝道：
"I, General Zhou Yujin, deputy commander of the Eastern Palace Guards, am carrying out the Crown Prince's order to inspect the relocation of refugees. If any soldiers are found to mistreat the refugees, they will be executed on the spot."
The soldiers of the Wucheng Garrison, although unfamiliar with the Eastern Palace Guards, dared not offend and bowed in salute upon hearing that they were under the command of the Crown Prince:
"Yes"
Zhou Yuji paid no attention to them and loudly spoke to the refugees:
"The Crown Prince is ordered to comfort the people. Starting today, relief stations will be set up in the outskirts of the imperial estate to help the disaster-stricken citizens. All refugees must immediately follow the soldiers of the Five City Garrison to the relief stations. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be dealt with on the spot."
After Zhou Yugi finished speaking, the soldiers beside him immediately repeated several times in unison. This time, most of the refugees heard clearly, and they spread the good news to the refugees who were further away from their location.
千里跋涉就为一口饭，听到终于有吃的了，城门附近流民们一边高呼万岁，一边快步向城外而去，而小男孩则趴在妈妈身上呜呜哭泣。
Zhou Yuji turned over and jumped off his horse to come to Dahua's side. He reached out to test her breath and found that she was still breathing. Gently checking her pulse and patting the child's head, Zhou Yuji whispered:
"Your mother is still alive, don't be sad, child."
The boy immediately stopped crying. He hurriedly touched his mother's nose and indeed noticed that she was still breathing. The child, understanding the situation, quickly kowtowed to Zhou Yujie.
"General, you are a good person. I beg you to save my mother. Er Gou is willing to do anything for you!"
Looking at the woman lying on the ground and the pitiful child, Zhou Yuzhao felt a pang of sadness. He reached out and helped Er Gou up:
"Don't worry, child, the Crown Prince will definitely save you and your mother."
Er Gou is really sensible and quickly thanked them again and again.
"Thank you, General, thank you, Crown Prince!"
Zhou Yujie turned around and looked around, and found a small restaurant not far away. He immediately said to his soldiers:
"Bring Er Gou and his mother to that restaurant."
"Yes!"
Several members from the East Palace Guard immediately stepped forward and lifted up Da Hua, while someone else carried Er Gou towards the nearby restaurant.
When the restaurant owner saw several soldiers carrying a wounded woman and a little beggar, his brows immediately furrowed. He signaled to his assistant standing beside him, and the assistant quickly stepped forward to stop the crowd:
"Sir, please wait. This is a place of business. It is not auspicious to bring them in like this."
Zhou Yuzhi quickly walked two steps forward and pushed the shop assistant aside.
"If they eat, give them silver, don't waste time, immediately bring them two bowls of noodles."
Seeing that it was a general, the shopkeeper hesitated to speak and raised his eyes to look at him.
The shopkeeper's face darkened and he respectfully said:
"Sir, this humble establishment is under the jurisdiction of Lord Jiading, and the food is already sold out. Please try elsewhere!"
No wonder even a brigade general is not afraid, turns out this restaurant is owned by the Zhou family under Lord Jiading. They certainly won't be afraid of anyone, let alone give any charity to two drifters.
Zhou Yugi simply ignored him. As for us, we are now under the command of the Crown Prince. Why should we be afraid of Duke Jiading, especially when he is paying us? Thus, he ordered the soldiers to forcibly take Da Hua and the child into the restaurant.
"Pay for your meal, then go immediately and order two bowls of noodles. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat and walk away safely. This person, and even the crown prince, will be my guests."
The shopkeeper was not afraid of a junior official at all. He was about to scold Zhou Yujin when he heard that the person was from the crown prince's side. Immediately, a sycophantic smile appeared on his face:
"Oh, it turns out to be from the Crown Prince's entourage. Hurry up and bring two bowls of noodles."
"The waiter immediately changed his attitude, nodded and bowed, and went to serve Zhou Yujie the noodles."
"Zhou Yujie shook his head helplessly. These people are all snobbish. They refuse to serve meals to refugees."
The big flower's injury is not serious, mainly due to fainting caused by hunger. After going through such a turmoil, she slowly opened her eyes and the first thing she said was to look for her child:
"Where is Er Gou?"
Dog 2 hurriedly squatted beside his mother:
"Mom, Dog 2 is here!"
Seeing Big Flower waking up, two soldiers immediately gently helped her sit at a dining table, and only then did Big Flower notice several soldiers and Zhou Yuzhi in front of her. Instinctively, she hugged Dog 2 in her arms:
"Don't... don't hurt my child..."
Seeing his mother waking up, sensible Er Gou wiped away his tears and introduced his mother:
"Mother, they are good people. Just now, the General saved your child."
"General Xie, this girl kowtows to you..."
"It can be said that I've escaped death. Da Hua was excited and wanted to kowtow to Zhou Yuxi, but her body was too weak. As soon as she moved, she felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, a soldier next to her held her up."
"Big sister, there's no need to be polite. After having a good meal, the soldier will take you directly to Huangzhuang. I still have military duties to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
周遇吉安慰大花一番，摸摸二狗的脑袋又留下一两银子离开，看着周遇吉离开的背影，大花再次留下激动的泪水。
……
Under the strong coordination of Zhou Yuchi, the Five City Guards did not forcefully drive away the refugees from other parts of the capital, but instead dispatched soldiers to the various gathering places of refugees in the city to read out the imperial prince's action of comforting the people:
"Attention refugees, the crown prince has set up a porridge shed outside the city at the imperial farm to provide relief to the victims and find housing for you. All city refugees should immediately leave the city to receive relief. Food and housing are limited, so please go quickly…"
After hearing the news of the Crown Prince's aid to the refugees, many refugees who had not received the message before immediately left the city. It is difficult to see any refugees in the streets of the capital within a day.
