Chapter 51: Move South, Move South
The second edict of Aguda ordered Zhiyan Chong to be the capital of southern Liaoning, and the commander-in-chief of Chen, Fu, and Kaizhou. The Han army and horses were stationed in Anpo, Liaokou, Laiyuan, Baozhou in the east, Liaotu in the west, and Tokyo in the north. The food and wages of the three military horses were supplied by the three states themselves.
After listening to the second edict, Yan Hu's color was a little dark, but Yang Yingqi didn't react at all. After Zong Wang left, Wan Yanhu elbowed Yang Yingqi with his elbow and said, "What are you doing?" Two more states are not happy? ”
Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "Kaizhou Chenzhou is only led by the eldest brother, which is different from Fuzhou. ”
Wan Yanhu asked, "What's the difference?" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "Sister-in-law, didn't you hear clearly? Fuzhou was established as the Han Meng'an, which was a fiefdom-like place. Huining is only a restraint on us, and does not directly intervene in our internal affairs, we can do things according to Han customs like governing Han Village, as long as we pay food in peacetime, and conscription in wartime is considered responsible. Chenzhou Kaizhou is subordinate to Liaoyang Prefecture, but it is only zoned out and under the control of the eldest brother, and all government decrees must be on par with Shenzhou and Xianzhou. ”
Wan Yanhu said: "Anyway, it's the place where Yan Chong is in charge, isn't it?" ”
Yang Yingqi smiled bitterly: "The eldest brother is the eldest brother, and the Han Department is the Han Department, which is different." Besides, when these three states are connected, they are very close to the Khitans and Koreans. If you want to prevent these places, you can't reduce the number of soldiers just for fear, and these troops have to be raised by these three states, and you have to pay tribute to Huining, which is not a small burden. ”
Wan Yanhu smiled: "Don't worry about money and food, you will conjure it up anyway, right?" ”
Yang Yingqi glared and said, "Change? Are you a god to me? ”
On the second day, Han Village began to register the number of people who went to stay. At this time, there were 2,500 elite soldiers and 3,000 sappers in Hancun, all of whom were still in the south and had not yet returned. There are more than 4,500 farmers and herdsmen, of whom more than 2,500 have been sent by Yang Yingqi to the south for reclamation and transportation, less than 2,000 have stayed in the Han Dynasty, and more than 500 have not wanted to leave. There were more than 4,500 women, and most of them had husbands who had already gone south, so they were willing to go south. Yang Yingqi, the craftsman of the glass house and the forging house, secretly mobilized well, and not a single good craftsman remained. In addition, there are handymen, miners, and migrants who set up some small vendors in Han Village to do some small services, and the number of people who go and stay is about 73 kai.
The entire queue of about 8,000 people who moved south were generally willing to go were the people who had been with the Han for a long time and the captives who had been with the Han for the longest time, the former had already cultivated loyalty and even dependence on the Han tribe, while the latter were only clinging to the frightened and undecided, lest they would become slaves if they stayed here. For those who wanted to stay, Yang Yingqi also arranged property and land for them, and under the auspices of Zongxiong, they entered the Jurchen nationality of Huining.
Many of the cattle, horses, and tools of the Han tribe had already gone south with the army, but at this time there were still a large number of belongings that needed to be relocated. Anyone who can't move away, Yang Yingqi will give them away one by one. The nine villages of the Han Dynasty were also divided by the Jurchen Haoqiang, only the West Village was left to live for the tribesmen who did not want to leave, and the mother village was arranged by Aguda to be returned to Zongxiong.
Yang Yingqi divided the southward migration into three groups: farmers first, craftsmen in two houses second, and miners and handymen second. There were more than 1,000 women in each group. The people of the Han Dynasty were fierce, and there was often martial arts training in the idle peasants, and most of them were people who could fight with swords. There are many cattle and horses in the ministry, and some people complain on the road, and they are often scolded by Zhang Laoyu and Gu Sister-in-law when they hear it.
Zhang Laoyu has been following the old tribesmen since the Plague Valley, and he kept saying to the junior tribesmen on the road: "This kind of migration is a bird!" All the way is in the territory of Daikin, and there is no danger. I think that when we had 500 people across Song, Liao, and Mongolia, that was called heroic! Now not only are things carried by cows and horses, but I also ride animals and don't even have to walk, so what's the bitterness! ”
Among the three groups of people, Wan Yanhu was arranged in the first group, Yang Yingqi was in the center, and Zhi Yanchong was postponed. Originally, Yang Yingqi arranged Wan Yanhu at the end and asked her to rest in Hancun for a while, but she insisted on walking in the front with the farmers, saying: "If you are late, you will be late, but the farmers will not be late!" We have to hurry to Fuzhou and get the fields right, or we will eat something next year! Go fast now, and you can catch up with the wheat farming time! ”
The first group of people led by Wan Yanhu stopped in the northern part of Fuzhou - this is the north-west of the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula, where Yang Kaiyuan had already built the rough blanks of several villages, and there was a lot of wasteland outside the residence that had also been slightly organized, and it could be seen that it was intended to be used for arable land.
Although it has been preliminarily sorted out, Yan Hu almost cried at the sight of this desolate scene: there are fertile fields outside Han Village, there are markets inside, and the economic system has become quite shaped.
Yang Kaiyuan said: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this. It is precisely because there are not many people here that I chose this place so as not to conflict with the locals. ”
Wan Yanhu said: "You mean that other places are better than here?" ”
Yang Kaiyuan sighed: "It's not much better. The people of the three states of the Liaodong Peninsula add up to less than 10,000 households, and they don't know how Yelu Yanxi's family was defeated. In my Song Dynasty, there are fewer than 100,000 households. ”
Wan Yanhu said: "Where can it be compared with the Great Song Dynasty here!" That's it, when the Han Ministry came to Huining, wasn't it so poor and white? Didn't it flourish later? As long as we have ambition, there is always a way. Then he asked, "What about the peasants who came before?" Not lazy, right? ”
Yang Kaiyuan said: "No." They set up three villages, only ten miles away. When they arrived, they had missed the season of the previous wheat crop, so they had planted sweet potatoes in the fields, and the harvest would be soon there. These sweet potatoes are growing well, and it seems that they are enough for the entire Han Department to eat for two months. ”
Wan Yanhu said: "Can't you eat sweet potatoes for two months?" ”
Yang Kaiyuan said: "The storage of sweet potatoes is more troublesome, and if they are durable and easy to store, it is better to keep them." After a year and a half, wheat and corn will be harvested once or twice, and life will be much better. ”
Wan Yanhu sighed: "That's it." ”
Soon Yang Yingqi arrived, and after seeing that Yan Hu had already started to weed, he said: "The people in our glass house and forging house are all in Jinmen in front, and the environment there should be better, sister-in-law, you should go to Jinmen with us first." ”
Wan Yan Hu was stunned: "What are these words! When everyone first arrived at this place, everyone was terrified. With me taking the lead in the work, even if everyone is hard, their hearts will be more determined, and they will not feel too uncomfortable. I will follow you to the south to enjoy happiness, and in two days the hearts of the people will be scattered! ”
Yang Yingqi saw that her hands and feet were full of mud and sand, and there were a few weeds on her head, how could she look like a princess of a big country? Those who don't know must think that she is a peasant woman! Moved in his heart, he said, "Then I will also accompany you to work here." ”
Wan Yanhu said: "Forget it, how much farm work do you know?" Even staying doesn't help. Anyway, it's enough to have Zhou Sheng's gang here. You're still thinking about making money! ”
Yang Yingqi knew that what she said was reasonable, so she no longer insisted.
