Chapter 209: The Great Migration

Zhu Li nodded and said, "They have promised to take the initiative to help the imperial court call and organize the gathering of young people, starting tomorrow." ”

Zhu Biao instructed: "Let the new branch scholars and nobles follow, help with the record arrangement, in short, let them participate." ”

Zhu Li scratched his head: "Big brother, they don't have much experience, I'm afraid they will delay a lot of things." ”

Zhu Biao said indifferently: "The relocation is not only this trip, but they must be familiar with it, and there will be an experience reference in the future." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Li received the order, and the specific relocation ratio was also discussed and formulated, according to "leave one for a family of four; Two for a family of six; The proportion of "three for a family of eight" is migrated, the young and strong are given priority, the upper hall is given priority, and the disabled can be left to take care of them......

There are also many preferential benefits used to appeal, such as the imperial court will be responsible for their food all the way, and distribute cotton clothes to them for winter, and will help them settle down and buy farm tools when they arrive in the locality, where the land can be "cultivated at their own convenience", and they will be exempted from taxes for three years.

The most critical welfare is to give them livestock, including cattle and sheep, which has not been available in previous generations, and fortunately Zhu Biao destroyed the Northern Yuan and robbed the grassland, otherwise a cow in Daming is much more expensive than human gold.

In the next few days, there were 10,000 people left in Zhu Biao's camp to wait, and the rest were scattered to various parts of Shanxi, cooperating with local officials and gentry to gather the people, while Zhu Biao led people to the leisure camp, where 200,000 people would gather, which was no joke.

Of course, Zhu Biao's plan is to arrange a wave of more than five people to send them away, otherwise digging enough pits for 200,000 people to is a big problem, and the Shanxi garrison is gradually moving closer to Zhu Biao, and they will also be responsible for transporting the relocated people.

Zhu Biao's 30,000 elites are mainly to protect the prince and deter the Shanxi scholars, they alone can't escort 200,000 people, yes, they are escorted, and the people who are willing to cooperate are still few, even if there are leaders of the gentry and government to persuade them.

Nearly half a month later, 60,000 people gathered in the camp, and every night there was a cry that shook the sky, and Zhu Biao was also very annoyed, but there was no way to take them, even if you forcibly relocated people, could you still not let you cry?

Forget about these, the problem is that Shanxi is now full of rumors, and the people are rumored to each other that this is Emperor Zhu listened to the words of the warlock, thinking that Shanxi has dragon energy, if you don't kill the people of Shanxi, this throne will not be long before you sit, so he sent his sons in a hurry, arrested them, and finally dug a big pit and buried them alive.

Zhu Biao was also very helpless after hearing about it, the people didn't know a few big words, but the ability to spread rumors was first-class, this kind of rumor in Shanxi is basically unknown to everyone, I am afraid that this is also the reason why the scholars are secretly making trouble.

Some people fled into the mountains and forests with their families, and the whole village resisted with pitchforks and hoes under the call of the village elder.

Zhu Biao has ordered to subdue the main thing, and the people must not be killed easily, and let the elite he brought with him be supervised by the overseers, otherwise with the quality of the garrison, they will slaughter the village together.

This is still the result of the cooperation of the gentry, otherwise their local fame is enough to make the matter more complicated, Zhu Li, Guo Chong, Wu Bozong and others are all gathered in the camp.

Zhu Li opened his mouth and said: "The number of big brothers is almost the same, the camp is full, and there will be a steady stream of people coming over tomorrow." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and looked at everyone, and finally designated Zhu Li and Wu Bozong and said: "The third child, this first batch is particularly important, there are many young and strong people in it, you must manage it carefully, I will give you 3,000 elites and 20,000 Shanxi garrisons, you have to be cautious." ”

Zhu Li has matured a lot along the way, and his status as the king of Chu is enough for the local officials on the road to try their best to supply food, and they can go to Fengyang first to lay a foundation.

The crying outside sounded faintly again, and Zhu Biao sighed: "It's good to wait until you get out of Shanxi, you should also be more tolerant, don't be too harsh, and give priority to taking care of women and children." ”

Zhu Li and Wu Bozong bowed down to promise, and they led the people to set off early the next morning, and suddenly the sound of crying and wailing resounded through the military camp, and those soldiers scolded them irritably, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince watching, they would have given these miscellaneous people a few whips.

Zhu Biao watched them being pushed and walked out, and in the initial escort process, groups of men, women, and children were tied with their hands behind their backs, and they went on the road under the escort of officers and soldiers, and they would only let go after they were far away from Shanxi.

Zhu Biao sighed and closed his eyes, this is undoubtedly extremely inhumane, but this is also what must be done, otherwise how can those regions where there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles and white bones exposed in the wild be revitalized.

The people on the side wanted to comfort a few words, but Zhu Biao raised his hand to stop him, he didn't need anyone to comfort him, this was what he had to bear, whether it was honor or the resentment of the people.

By noon the weeping people were sent to the camp, and the new officers and nobles were plunged into a new busy, all of whom were pampered, and of course did not want to serve the mud legs.

However, Chang Mao Fu Zhong will not get used to them, and if he is not willing to do the management work, he will dig a pit, move grain and cook, and he will have to work anyway.

Half a month later, 60,000 or 70,000 people gathered, and Zhu Biao was used to their crying from the beginning of his sleepless nights, and he still used the same strategy, giving preferential treatment to women, children, and young people to do what they could.

The second batch of Zhu Biao asked Guo Chong and Li Jin to be in charge of escorting, and gave 3,000 elites and 30,000 garrisons to escort, leaving the sick women and children behind, and placing them in a corner of the military camp for isolation and treatment.

Now that the weather is getting cooler and autumn has arrived, the camp is full again, and even if the relocation is over, Zhu Biao will personally send them to Fengyang for resettlement.

During this time, officials and gentry from all over Shanxi came to visit Zhu Biao, and even Zhang Wei came to send something once, Zhang was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he hurriedly made thick clothes such as clothes and cloaks, although these Liu Jin were ready, but Zhu Biao was still very happy.

Xu Yungong also transported coal and set off in Fengyang, and the two brothers Zhu Fan and Zhu Di finally completed the task, and there were countless officials who fell under the hands of their brothers.

As a result, they got angry that night because of the crying, which really annoyed people, but the rest of the people were used to it for a long time, the ignorance of the people and the rumors circulating everywhere made them panic, even if Zhu Biao personally went to appease them, it didn't have much effect, they didn't believe you at all, and people should cry or cry at night.

Every day, new people were escorted in, and after half a month, the number of people was carefully counted, and counting those who had already been sent away, there were about 210,000 people in total.

Zhu Biao picked up another record, at present, there are hundreds of people who have died due to various accidents such as resisting illness and escaping, more than ten soldiers have been attacked and killed by the people, and more than 50 soldiers have been punished by the Ming Dynasty for crimes, this record will never be known to others, and the court will not recognize it.
