Chapter 236: Heads Rolling

Last time, it was said that the barbarian New Khan rolled to the Holy Son of Heaven and wrote to the Holy Son of Heaven to relocate the victims of the Central Plains to Guanwai, which can not only alleviate the large-scale famine caused by the drought, but also enrich the population outside the Guan, reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, and educate the barbarians by the way, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

"Do you think this chaotic khan's construction is feasible?" His Majesty the Emperor asked calmly, not showing any tendentious expression on his face. In fact, in the heart of this emperor, His Majesty Xià was very happy to do this, after all, standing in the emperor's position, he did not want the people under his rule to starve to death in the thousands.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!" An old man could not wait to jump out and express strong opposition, "I don't know that this is another conspiracy of the barbarians. Today, these barbarians occupy millions of acres of fertile land outside the Guan, with a population of 50,000 or 60,000 households. If we relocate tens of thousands of more households to Guanwai, in a few years, Guanwai will become another granary comparable to Wuguang. If the barbarians are allowed to develop so rapidly, I will be in danger! ”

"The old minister seconded," another high-ranking civil official hurriedly stepped forward and chimed in, "In the past, the barbarians only knew that by fighting and killing by force, they could make them return to the customs with joy and contentment. Now they must have been instructed by a certain master, and learned the strategy of the great grandfather to build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king, which can be said to be a great plan! ”

After the repeated bombardment of several old ministers, the thoughts in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor gradually changed from firm to slightly suspicious, and then suspicious. Eventually, he began to hesitate. If it is really as speculated by these old ministers, the barbarians can not only solve the problem of insufficient food production in a short time, but even produce a large surplus.

What is the war fought? What is beaten is money and food. If the barbarians really become rich and accept the education of the common people of the Central Plains, it is very likely to endanger the safety of the Great Wall and even the capital, after all, the capital is too close to the Great Wall!

"Okay, the matter will be postponed for later..."In the end, the extremely suspicious emperor His Majesty compromised.

In fact, the biggest reason why these old fellows are vigorously opposed to the relocation of the population out of the customs is that in addition to the reasons they have put forward repeatedly, it is because these barbarians have violated their interests. In ancient times, natural disasters were often a feast for large landowners. They can take advantage of this opportunity to stock up on food. Raise prices, make a lot of money, and at the same time be able to buy a large amount of land from bankrupt peasants. If properly manipulated, local powerful factions can also collude with local officials to embezzle large quantities of food supplies for disaster relief. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are making a fortune in a difficult country.

Although His Majesty the Emperor temporarily rejected the barbarians' request to relocate the population, there was still a steady stream of victims migrating north along the routes to transport grain. After all, the farther the road. The more difficult it is to deliver food. If the victims don't want to go north. It is necessary for many people to compete for a large pot of gruel that can reflect the shadow of a person, just barely able to keep from starving to death.

Although His Majesty did not explicitly oppose the migration, the local officials and the landlords and gentry did not want the population to leave their territory. After all, no matter how much land is annexed, it still needs people to cultivate it. How can a landlord's family play within a radius of hundreds of miles?

As a result, many landlords began to organize and lead their families to try their best to stop the migration of the victims to the north. Although the family members were unreasonable, and even used weapons, and there were bloody conflicts, they suddenly withered when they encountered even more unreasonable barbarians, and they were killed by a single charge.

Thus, this unprecedented migration proceeded slowly under the escort of barbarian food and force. Although many of the old, weak, sick and disabled people fell on the migration road due to various reasons along the way, the lucky ones who were lucky enough to walk this migration road of nearly 10,000 miles finally lived an extremely happy life.

"Siliu, you said that now that food is constantly being transported into the disaster area, and the victims are constantly migrating outside the customs, why do those thieves still refuse to give up and have to cause trouble everywhere?" Wang Lewei asked Lu Ya'er, who was on a par with her. Now the two of them are pursuing their men and horses in the direction of the thieves.

"I used to have a cat at home, and at first it ate everything, even the spoiled nest. Later, by chance, a fish that our family had worked so hard to catch was stolen and eaten by this cat. Do you say that a cat who has stolen fish and tasted something fishy will still be interested in the head of the nest? Lu Ya'er asked rhetorically.

"I see what you mean. You're saying that the thieves are used to spending their days drinking and getting something for nothing, and it's impossible for them to go back to their old life with their backs to the loess, right? Wang Lewei suddenly realized.

"Vere, you're right, this kind of person is like a cat that has tasted fish, and no amount of means can force them to go back to the way they were. For them, the best way to transform is to end their shameful lives..."Lu Ya'er replied in a flat tone.

On the road to chase the thieves, you can see people who have been killed by the thieves at will and abandoned in the wilderness. Due to the loss of the constraints of the law, coupled with the degradation of morality, the thieves found all kinds of reasons for killing people at will, such as gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, beautiful women's daughters, and even some food.

In troubled times, life is as cheap as grass. Natural disasters are ruthless, but they are even more cruel. Therefore, there is an old saying called "It is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a troubled person". This sentence contains all blood and tears!

After receiving a report that he had not received the night, and learned that tens of thousands of thieves were besieging a small county town ten miles ahead, Wang Lewei ordered the troops to speed up and be sure to rush to the battlefield before the city was broken.

When the rumbling hooves of horses drowned out the shouts of the thieves, and the billowing smoke and dust appeared on the horizon, the soldiers and civilians of the small county town who stood condescendingly on the city wall and fought to the death were the first to see the legendary cavalry unit. A huge cheer sounded at the head of the city, which then infected the residents of the entire county, and finally everyone shouted Wang Jiajun in unison.

On the contrary, the attacking thieves immediately lost their morale after hearing the three words of Wang Jiajun, and turned around and ran, for fear that they would be trampled into pulp by the fierce cavalry if they were one step slower.

According to the old rule, a powerful Sky Thunder Cannon was unleashed in the densest part of the crowd, and then another charge immediately crushed the rabble. In the end, the number of thieves who trampled on each other because of panic turned out to be several times more than those who died in battle.

"Emperor, this is the battle report presented by the Ministry of War today. Now the second son of Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Taiyuan, has won seven battles and seven victories, killing thirteen bandits and thieves, and capturing countless thieves..."In the imperial study of the palace, an old eunuch held a book and reported to the emperor who was sitting behind the dragon case and writing hard.

"As I expected..." )
