Chapter 126: To the South
"What?"
Liu Yu, who received the news, was surprised, he didn't expect that he had already let people find the door, and reminded again and again that Gao Shijie still sent troops as in history, and the enemy he faced exceeded his original strength, so what will be the final result, do you need to say?
"You, gather the team immediately, set off immediately, quickly!"
Hearing his order, Jiang Cai didn't say anything, turned his head and walked out of the mansion, Liu Yu's eyes were firmly fixed on a map on the big case, which was a topographic map that included the entire Jinghu battlefield, he had to know that without Yuezhou's containment, where was the fastest route for the Yuan people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In his plan, the Yuezhou naval army led by Gao Shijie should be able to drag the footsteps of the Yuan people for several months, after all, it was a vast lake, almost five or six times the area of the later generations, in such a large area, it was impossible to find a fleet unless someone betrayed it.
Who knows that the plan has not changed quickly, it has only been two days, and he is going to make another change, the Qingye in Guangxi has not officially started, if the Yuan people move too fast, then this Jingjiang City under his feet will become the footsteps he uses to block the opponent's attack.
Because history has changed, Jinghu South Road has no Li Fu, replaced by a former Jiangxi Luchen Huang Wanshi who is likely to run away, the Yuan people's long drive is almost a sure thing, he had to speed up his progress, everything can not be allowed to go step by step.
"Ma Duguan, this official needs you to sit in Jingjiang Mansion and implement the plan formulated by us, all the foot soldiers are left to you, no matter what method you use, you must let the people move, time is running out." Liu Yu's words made Ma Ji on the side suddenly raise his head.
"You only take the cavalry? That's how to make it. ā
The previous plan was to drive Tanzhou directly on foot and horse, in order to wait for an opportunity to respond to Gao Shijie's actions in Yuezhou, according to the current estimate, there is no point in them rushing over, Ma Ji is not worried about the battle situation over there, but why do they have to go in this situation? However, the three thousand cavalry are afraid that they will not be able to walk even a round in front of the Tartars.
"Where the duty lies, this trip to Jingnan Road, this official must go." Liu Yu didn't seem to want to argue with him about this issue: "After a certain person leaves, whether those people should come down or not, don't let them out, together with the relatives they brought, all of them will be detained in the inner city, once something happens, you just push it on the official, understand." ā
"Fu Shuai is afraid that those people will do bad things?" Of course Ma Ji knew what he was referring to, for this kind of unusual order, they had heard and seen too much recently, and they were already close to immunity, and sure enough, Liu Yu nodded, confirming his conjecture.
That's why Liu Yu wants to leave Ma Ji in charge, Hu Youhuang is a literati himself, he has to think about it a little more, so as not to let this kind of accidental factor appear, although it will not ruin his plan, but it is an ordinary chaos, he doesn't want to have it at the moment, he doesn't want to do it at all.
"Under Hengshan City, a certain person told you that the land can be lost, and the people cannot abandon it, and this official is not just to retreat." Liu Yu was facing him, and also to all his cronies, these people were the executors of the plan, and there was no need to hide the details from them.
"If the Tartars invade Jinghu, the next step will be Guangxi, and this time, what the officials want is not to drive away, nor to defeat, but to annihilate them all." Liu Yu's face was full of confidence, and this kind of confidence could infect all the people present, more than once: "In your eyes, this official sees doubts, indeed, you have reason to suspect, with our existing strength, it is difficult to achieve even a victory like Hengshanzhai, why dare you say that?" ā
"War has always been a game for the strong, but it does not mean that the weak should be tied back, we have no reinforcements, we can only rely on these people, if we want to defeat the enemy, we must let them stand with us, the loss of their homeland will inspire their greatest hatred for the Tartars, this hatred will tear apart every enemy, so that they have no fixed place to live, no food, thousands of miles of bare land, no people, and finally ...... Fall prey to us. ā
Liu Yu's words shocked these people who had never said it, and the kind of scene he described was even more chilling, although the winter in Lingnan is not as cold as in the north, but the wind and food and sleeping in the open air, the huge temperature difference between day and night, what will those Tartars learn? Thinking of what happened in Yongzhou, the suspicion in the eyes of most people slowly disappeared.
"In such an environment, the more enemies come, the faster they will die, and the most regrettable thing for this official is that Kublai Khan, the enemy chieftain, did not personally lead the troops, but this great gift he sent, I will be disrespectful."
Liu Yu met their expectant gaze and waved his hand violently: "This official asks you to wait, starting from the neighboring state capital, let your soldiers go down to every town, township, and village to preach the atrocities of the Tartars to the people, and let them know what kind of consequences will be if the enemy arrives, and you, Hu Tongju." ā
He turned in the direction of Hu Youhuang: "Open the treasury, set up tents and stoves at various intersections, prepare water and food, meet this wave as in previous years, try not to let the people fall on the roadside or in the field, and tell them that as long as they get to the place, everything will have a new beginning, a new beginning that is ten or a hundred times better than here." ā
There is no hope, there is no motivation, on the one hand, the threat of the Yuan people is used to force the people to leave their hometowns, on the other hand, a seemingly wonderful prospect is promised, for Liu Yu, war is not the goal, nor is victory, the liberation of the people who regard the land as life and bind everything to it is the real goal of his doing.
"What if they don't want to go?" Obviously, this is also the question that most of the subordinates want to ask.
"Fear is contagious, as long as you pry a family, you can drive a village and a township, and when the road is full of fleeing people, no matter how strong people are, they will be shaken, because people are social animals, and if they leave the crowd, they will be afraid, which is what we often call 'going with the flow', and what we want to build is such a wave. Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to engage in the greatest migration in the world, and it will make you prouder than killing a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand Tartars, because we will save millions of people and build a better future. ā
In the stunned eyes of everyone, Liu Yu waved his arm again: "Now, let's take action for Lao Tzu, hurry up." ā
These soldiers who have just experienced a bloody battle with the Tartars, no one is more convincing than them, for which Liu Yu prepared a large number of promotional pictures, he hopes to let the people decide for themselves whether to go or stay, and when the lobby is empty, he will also embark on the pace of going out, this city that belongs to him, only two nights in total.
"Fu Shuai really thinks that we are saving the people?"
"If there is no country, there is no home, and if the people don't understand, they have to teach them, and if they can't teach, they have to take them with them, this is your responsibility and mine. Cheng Yu, this official never doubts his own judgment, and you only need to choose to believe, we don't have time to argue, everything will be revealed in the end, you can wait and see. ā
Hu Youhuang didn't nod or shake his head, as early as when he was lying on the hospital bed in Yongzhou City, Liu Yu had told him his plan, only when he was at the end of the day, he knew how difficult it was, the flow of millions of people, to go to the sea through a few roads that were not wide, and then sent by sea ship to Qiongzhou, which was like a place of exile, just need to close his eyes and think about it, he will understand how unacceptable it is, of course he knows those in history. It is still difficult to describe the most realistic scene, and what I can do is to arrange everything as well as possible according to Liu Yu's requirements, so that every passing person has a bite to eat and a mouthful of water to drink, so that they will not freeze to death or starve to death on the road.
On the same day, the Jun order from the Fu Division was printed into countless copies, from the big to the command, to the small team, the gang of the Hu Ben soldiers and soldiers, under the leadership of the local officials, messengers, began to use an unheard of way to go deep into the townships, towns, villages, the early people suddenly found that in the past, "neighbors look at each other, chickens and dogs hear each other, and the people do not interact with each other until they are old and dead." The traditional life was shattered by the sudden arrival of these sergeants.
What they do is actually very simple, that is, find a large enough flat field in the local area, such as a grain drying field or a sect or the like, put together the disassembled wooden shelves, and then beat gongs and drums to attract the people, naturally there are pictures on it, and the vivid pictures are more convincing than any kind of text, and they don't need to recognize the words.
Most of these sergeants were from the locals, and their role was to maintain the necessary order and provide some necessary explanations, but they did not agitate or anything else on the surface, and because of this, it was difficult for the squires who controlled the place to react, after all, it was a good intention of the government on the surface.
"Is it true that if you join the army, your family can really be exempt from taxes?"
Of course, the most asked is the policy that was issued almost at the same time, especially for the families who have a small number of acres of land, it is worth paying a lot of hard work for the doubling of the harvest in the fields, and whenever this question is asked, the faces of these sergeants are filled with sincere smiles, because this is what they have bought with their lives.
"Naturally, a certain family is in the next village, you can go and inquire, yesterday, the government has returned all the money and food paid to the family, and the arrears accumulated in previous years have also been exempted, and our handsome never speaks."
"And this time the Tartars are really coming?"
"It's almost Jinghu, I can't say that I will call one day, the marshal is worried about you people living in the four fields and eight towns, so he ordered me to wait to come and remind me."
"Where are we going?"
"In the south, there is a response from the government all the way, and if you go fast, you will have food, and if you are slow, there will be nothing."
This kind of demagogy will not have an immediate effect, but when someone went out to investigate for this purpose, they found that what the sergeants said was true, and the government had prepared food and water at various intersections, and as long as they took the local road guides, it was indeed the people who went all the way south, and they could be replenished there.
Until this time, the people who were originally holding to watch the excitement began to worry, the scene more than ten years ago, it has not been long since then, what the Tartars did on Guangxi Road may be more terrible than the scene on the screen, so the rumors that are not rumors began to be spontaneously spread by them among the crowd. The first to be touched is those customers, they have no land, except for a barely able to block the wind, it can be said that the family is surrounded by walls, under such conditions, it is not a difficult choice to give up, in any case, once they stay, the Tartars will not be able to grab anything from them, they will only do one thing...... Homicide!
Slowly, there began to be a flow of people on the official road leading to Qinzhou, people carried simple packages, carried worthless household goods, supported their relatives, and started at a not too fast pace, perhaps the most important trek in their lives, what lies ahead, no one knows, but they believe in a word, which is what those sergeants often say.
We never speak!
