Chapter 405: The Legend of the Heavenly Army (1)
There is no way for Mingzhou Chen Ju, not to mention waiting for other rebel armies to attack the city, if it weren't for the Tianci army stationed outside the city at this time, the people in the city would have fled out long ago, because there was really no food in the city.
Seeing that Tian Shiyi refused to explain his identity, Chen Juan was a little anxious, but the Tianci Army escorted a large number of refugees with him, and it was impossible to think that it could be a Manichaean rebel, who had ever seen the rebels help so many people.
In fact, not only Chen Ju couldn't guess the identity of Tian Shiyi and the Tianci Army, but even the hundreds of thousands of refugees who drank with the Tianci Army didn't know where the Tianci Army was at this time.
Tian Shiyi still didn't introduce himself, but just asked Chen Juan what his plans were.
Chen Juan sighed and proposed to borrow some food from this lord to solve the problem of lack of food in the city first.
Tian Shiyi shook his head directly, claiming that the grain was only sold and not borrowed. When Chen Juan heard this, he sighed again, and said that he would go back to the city to raise money. Unexpectedly, Tian Shiyi proposed that selling grain is selling grain, but he does not collect gold, silver and copper money.
Chen Juan gasped, and then roared angrily, saying that he, Chen Ju, would never do the dirty thing of exchanging a city woman for food. Even if he starves to death with the whole city, he will not let the treacherous plan of the dog thief in front of him succeed.
Brother Eleventh was full of black lines, and in turn scolded Chen Juan again, and then looked at the refugees who were queuing up to receive porridge, and asked Chen Juan to see how many women there were among the refugees. If you want a woman, the Tianci Army will follow tens of thousands, and where do you need to exchange food with Chen Jue.
Chen Juan was also stunned when he saw those refugees, there is really no shortage of women, and he is a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
The rules and regulations bowed to Tian Shiyi and apologized, Chen Juan reined in all his stinky temper, and respectfully asked if Mingzhou had anything to serve. As long as he doesn't harm the people and can let those people live, even if he wants Chen Jue's wife and daughter.
Tian Shiyi felt that he was powerless to complain, was he so much like a wicked person who likes to take away his wife and daughter? Or was he born with the face of a womanizer?
At this time, Tian Shiyi didn't want to talk to Chen Juan anymore, so he asked people to find Fan Quan. To deal with people like Chen Juan, Fan Quan is the most suitable. At the same time, Tian Shiyi ordered the Tianci army to mobilize food, and asked Chen Juan to bring it back to the city after a while.
The southeast was the granary of the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no shortage of grain in the southeast at this time, but most of them were in the hands of rebels of all sizes. When the grain stock is exhausted, it will not be like this, the peasants have fled and fled, and there is no one to cultivate the land, and no one can conjure up the grain under the empty mountain.
Since the moment when the Manichaean Sect raised the anti-flag, everyone from Fang Baihua to the entire Heavenly Gift Alliance was admiring Brother Eleven. Because Tian Shiyi had already set a strategy of hoarding food everywhere, the Tianci Alliance would not be short of food in another three years. What's more, the Tianci Alliance has already become a business partner with the Li Dynasty, and it only needs to use some soap, cloth, porcelain, and other things that are all over the land of the Great Song Dynasty to exchange for a large amount of rice. There is really no shortage of food from the God-given Alliance.
The Li Dynasty here is not talking about Goryeo, but about a part of Vietnam in later generations. The real name of the Li Dynasty should be Da Yue, but I don't know when it began, the Song people used to call it the Li Dynasty.
The rice cultivation area of the Li Dynasty was very large, and it could be three kinds a year, and many of them rotted in the ground. Some of the rags that rot in the ground can be exchanged for so many and such good goods, and the Li Dynasty is happy enough from the merchants to the court, and he hopes that the Tianci League can expand the transaction volume tenfold, but it is a pity that the Tianci League does not have more ships to load grain.
Fang Xiaoliu and Liang Xiaoniu suddenly came to Tian Shiyi, saying that Emma had taken the pulse of Yu Sanniang, claiming that Yu Sanniang was pregnant.
It has been less than a month since she came out of Hangzhou, and Yu Sanniang was obviously pregnant with a child in Hangzhou, and it was only at this time that it appeared on the pulse. Tian Shiyi was also happy for Monk Fang in his heart, and hurriedly asked the Nanxing Division to find a way to tell Monk Fang the good news, and at the same time pondered what gift he should prepare for his future disciples.
Fan Quan quickly discussed with Chen Juan that the conditions of the Tianci Army were very simple, to garrison troops in Mingzhou City, resettle refugees, and provide food for Mingzhou.
At the beginning, Chen Juan also wanted the Tianci Army to be stationed outside the city, but Fan Quan dispelled Chen Ju's idea by halving the grain. The combat power of the Tianci army is there, if you really want to forcibly take Mingzhou City, the remaining officers and soldiers in the city and Ding Zhuang can't stop it at all.
The garrison in Mingzhou is just to settle the hundreds of thousands of refugees who followed, although those refugees followed behind the Tianci Army, but if they really said that they would not be the Great Song Dynasty from now on, but join the Tianci Alliance, there must be many people who were unhappy. Those who are willing to join the Heavenly Alliance will have to go through a series of training and education before being sent to the territory of Changguo.
Another advantage of garrisoning in Minzhou is that it can have a temporary base on land, which can be used to hoard supplies, garrison and train new troops.
Fan Quan was left in Mingzhou Mansion and was in charge of all civil and commercial affairs. There is Fan Power to restrain Chen Juan, and Chen Juan can't make a move even if he wants to make trouble for the Tianci Alliance.
It was not a matter of a day or two to resettle more than 100,000 refugees, so Tian Shiyi sent 10,000 Tianci troops to continue to escort the people of the Tianci Alliance to the port of Mingzhou not far away, where the ship sent by Li Bao was already waiting. At the same time, the 10,000 Tianci army was divided into 20 teams, and every 500 people went to the vicinity of Mingzhou to sweep away the chaotic army.
Chen Juan was a little worried that the Tianci Army only left 5,000 soldiers to guard the city, but what made him even more worried was that whose team was the Tianci Army?
Judging from the banner, the Tianci Army is not from the imperial court, and from the style of view, it cannot be a Manichaean rebel army, but the Tianci Army is strictly disciplined, and it tries all kinds of ways to investigate but still has no eyebrows, only knowing that this army is from Hangzhou.
Li Zhan was sent to the Tianci army when he was reorganizing the army in Taihu Water Village, and at this time he was bringing 500 soldiers to clean up the chaotic army near Yindi.
Mingzhou Mansion is almost a microcosm of the entire southeast, Fang La's Yongle Dynasty has not been able to completely control the territory occupied by the residence, but only occupies some big cities, and the countryside and villages have become a world of robbers and bandits, murder and robbery and other evil things that have lost their conscience, and they will happen every day.
Li Zhan led people to easily defeat a group of rogues with less than 100 people, and then chased after him. The 500 soldiers were armed with 30 crossbows, and each soldier was armed with two gunpowder shells. Li Zhan, who has been accustomed to a hard life since childhood, is very careful and knows that these weapons are very expensive, just some rogue rebels, how can they be worthy of using crossbows and gunpowder bullets.
There were still more than 50 rogues who were still fleeing in front, and Li Zhan only sent three squads to chase and kill, while the rest of the soldiers maintained a strict military formation and followed closely.
Turning around the ditch between two mountains and one ditch, a group of Manichaean rebels suddenly appeared in front of them, roughly looking at three thousand men. A big flag tree is in the middle of the rebels, and a big "shell" is embroidered on it, which is the Bei Yingkui under the command of Bao Daoyi.
