Swirls of smoke floated outside the city of Yunzhou.
The more than 100,000 people who surrendered were divided by the Yunzhou army to prevent regrouping in a disturbance.
At the same time, hundreds of large pots were set up on the land outside the city, and rice porridge was boiled in the pot. The faint fragrance of the rice made the victims swallow.
Qi Guangyi rode a horse and kept patrolling here. The victims were already waiting for the porridge in front of the cauldron, and now the rumors of Yunzhou City gathering the victims have become reality.
The rice porridge in front of them also made these people feel at ease.
Who wants to fight for a bite of food?
It's just that the gathering of hundreds of thousands of people is indeed very dangerous. They have been ordered to send these victims to the fiefs and states in batches for resettlement.
Moreover, the order is not to force these victims to relocate, but to seek their own opinions.
"Everyone, the disaster victims in the city have also told you, Your Highness is righteous, he said that as long as they are willing to move to Qingzhou, Cangzhou and other states, the people can get their own land, and can live in these places with peace of mind. After eating this dinner tonight Those who are willing to go with us will gather at the north gate when the time comes, and someone will enroll you on the throne and assign you to different places."
After a pause, Qi Guangyi continued: "Of course, if you don't want it, we won't force it. You can send three catties of rice to each person, and you can go where you want to go."
The victims listened to Qi Guangyi's words with ears erected.
As soon as his voice fell, there were whispers among the victims.
Qi Guangyi observed these people. According to these people, they were all people who had just been with the Azure Dragon King, and some of them were even dragged into the army of the Azure Dragon King by fellow villagers.
Moreover, there were still many people who were planning to take refuge in Yunzhou, but when they encountered the army of the Azure Dragon King, they could only be carried forward, but unexpectedly, the Azure Dragon King would choose to attack the city.
They used to be duty-bound people and didn't want to fight at all. Most of them just wanted to escape.
"Official man, is what you said is true? There will still be land allocation after this?" said a bold man.
Qi Guangyi said: "This is still false. Some of the victims in the city have already been allocated land in Yunzhou. You can ask yourself. The people who are making porridge are those who have escaped."
The man did not cheat, went straight to the front, and after a few questions he came back.
The other victims saw him come back and asked, "Is it true or false?"
"Really, he said that he had allocated 20 mu of land, and the Yunzhou government gave him a ration, saying that he would wait for the cultivated land to be harvested before returning it to the government, and he would not pay for the food for three years."
"There is still this good thing!" The surrounding victims were surprised, which seemed to them dreaming.
Qi Guangyi smiled and went to other places to convey the migration policy to the victims.
With a bite of hot porridge and generous policies, the victims gradually let go of their guard, and under the strict discipline of the Yunzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army, no soldiers bullied the victims.
And this makes the victims yearn for that different world more and more. Many of the victims gathered together at night to discuss whether to migrate.
The next day, the North Gate was occupied by people who wanted to migrate to Liuzhou.
Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang were very pleased to watch this scene. As long as the policy is not afraid to attract these victims, the choice between and heaven is easy to make.
Of course, some victims were unwilling to leave their hometowns. As promised, Xiao Ming gave them rations on the road and asked them to defect to their relatives in other places.
Xiao Ming's kind deeds quickly established his prestige among the victims. After all, there are many people who speak big words in the Da Yu Congress, but not many people can really fulfill the promise.
Because of this, Xiao Ming's seemingly insignificant charity made the victims from Jizhou grateful.
And his charity further spread as the victims went to all directions.
What surprised Xiao Ming was that many of the victims who escaped in the last battle spontaneously returned to accept the arrangement of the Yunzhou government to settle in Liuzhou.
In just ten days, Yunzhou counted 200,000 people who migrated, and this number is still increasing.
"His Royal Highness, the disaster victims' affairs are finally settled, but it's a pity for the people who died in battle. This Azure Dragon King is really abominable. The barbarian enemy is now, so he doesn't want to serve the country. Instead, he fought the idea of ​​attacking the city and grabbing food. "
Zhan Xingchang said angrily.
Xiao Ming nodded, "There is not enough human heart to swallow an elephant, but the Azure Dragon King is probably not an easy person to deal with, otherwise he can't easily capture several counties."
"His Royal Highness is extremely true." Zhan Xingchang pondered, "This time the surprise of artillery and flintlock made the rebellion disintegrate so quickly, if it were ordinary weapons, it would be a deadly battle."
The two were talking, suddenly there was a noise outside, and then Zhao Long and Zhao Hu, who had been guarding the door, walked in with a scout covered in blood with his arm.
Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang changed their colors~EbookFREE.me~ Seeing Xiao Ming, the scout said weakly, "Your Royal Highness, the barbarian reinforcements have arrived, and the Qingzhou army led by the Niu Dudu was besieged by 80,000 barbarians in Fencheng. , Shanziying took the grain and grass and collapsed without a fight, and the grain and grass transported on the way back was robbed by the Azure Dragon King."
After all, the scout passed out.
"Pop!" Xiao Ming slapped a hand on the table fiercely, his chest undulating violently, "Qinglong King, shameless gangster, do you have no national justice in your eyes?"
Zhan Xingchang also blushed. First he attacked Yunzhou, and now he robbed Liangdao. This Qinglong King ignored the Qingzhou Army and the Forbidden Army who resisted the barbarians on the front line. What kind of rebels were this, it was a riot!
"This Shanziying camp is also a waste." Zhan Xingchang stomped his feet.
When Niu Ben set out, a part of Shanzi Camp took grain and grass to follow the Qingzhou Army to Jizhou.
After arriving at Fencheng, the city of Jizhou, Niu Ben ordered to wait to join the Forbidden Army, while looking for opportunities to break through Chagatai's blockade of Jizhou.
Because Niu Ben judged that this battle might take a long time, he asked Shanziying to continue to transport food reserves for one month.
After all, he was worried that he would also be under siege, and if there was no food and grass, he would be in a mess.
Now that the grain and grass are robbed, the Qingzhou Army's grain reserves are insufficient, which makes Xiao Ming not in a hurry.
"His Royal Highness, Fencheng is a small city inferior to Yunzhou City, and the city wall is nothing more than a soil embryo wall. The top priority is to lift the siege of Fencheng." Zhan Xingchang calmly reminded.
Xiao Ming sighed. He didn't expect that a war would be so difficult. Now that Bei Shan reinforcements have arrived, this Jizhou city is probably about to become a meat grinder.
He said to Zhan Xingchang: "Order Qi Guangyi to lead five thousand cavalry and three thousand musketeers to quickly assist Fencheng. If this battle is lost, there will be no royal foothold in the north."
