The money and family property were robbed by the Qing court officials, and the people were killed and plundered by the green camp, and everything was done blatantly, how could it be so easy to dump the black pot on others?

What's more, because of the nostalgia, the compatriots in this province are naturally more credible than the outsiders. Throughout the spring, a large number of people have migrated here in Xinghua Mansion and Yanping Mansion adjacent to Quanzhou Mansion, and even many people have simply migrated from Fuzhou Mansion to Quanzhou Mansion over Xinghua Mansion.

During this period, the governments of the two places adhered to the old style of the feudal bureaucracy and let it go, and even rejoiced that these rebel reserves went to Zhangquan to eat Zheng Chenggong's big family. In this way, they not only reduced the pressure and less trouble, but also caused trouble, and used the refugees as a flood to force Zheng Chenggong to accept the peace, which is really a wonderful plan that only Zhuge was born and Berwyn could think of while he was alive.

As for why so many people want to flee to Quanzhou, the officials have reached the most perfect interpretation in the simplest way - that is, Fujian was affected by the disaster, and this place is not a grain-producing province, the people can't eat, and they can't bear to watch the people starve to death, so they naturally go to Quanzhou to eat big households!

The following reports are constantly being sent to Liu Qingtai and Tong Guoqi, and the officialdom is tired, and they naturally understand that it is nothing more than seeing through it and not saying it, and it is always right to leave some leeway between the boss and the subordinates.

Now, with Zheng Chenggong's refusal to shave his hair first and then receive the order on Langqi Island, Zheng Kuna and Zazina have returned to the capital. As the highest-ranking local officials of the main Fu faction in Fujian, they are also the local military and political leaders, and they also know very well at this moment that it will be difficult to stop the tide together, and what they can do is to get the matter done as soon as possible. However, according to Zheng Hongkui, it seems that the main battle faction within the Zheng group is still very tenacious, especially Chen Kai's stubborn temperament, rather than convincing Chen Kai, it is more convenient to divide and disintegrate the other main battle factions.

"Simply, slaughter Chen Kai!"

This thought popped into my mind countless times, but in the end, it could only end up with a sigh. No way, in addition to being the governor of the Ming Court and Zheng Chenggong's deputy, Chen Kai is also Zheng Hongkui's son-in-law. Zheng Hongkui has several pairs of children, it is said that the most favored is Chen Kai's wife, and even in the first battle of the middle and left, Zheng Hongkui was so angry that he didn't want to marry his daughter to Chen Kai, but in the end, the first to talk back was still the Dingguo Duke of the Ming Court and the Fenghuabo of the Qing Court, which shows that Zheng Hongkui still feels sorry for his daughter.

Killed Chen Kai, Zheng Hongkui's daughter became a widow, it is said that this woman is very strong, when her grandmother ordered her to repent of marriage, she can stand hard, if they assassinate her husband, I am afraid that even Zheng Hongkui will firmly stand on the side of the main battle faction.

"Kill Chen Kai, and the other main battle factions will die and be more determined to oppose the imperial court. And those who have the heart to throw themselves into the court will also feel feared by this, and fear that the treatment they have thrown in will be honored, and thus shake the position of advocating appeasement. ”

Liu Qingtai said this earlier, Tong Guoqi also said it, and even Zheng Kuna and Zazina also understood it. They believe that the Qing court naturally understands it.

"Lin Cha, Li Jianjie, Ke Chenshu, Ke Chenmei, Du Hui, Chen Bin, Wan Li, Lan Deng, Zhou Quanbin, Lin Dezhong, Jiang Meiao, these guys are all ...... who advocate continuing to make trouble."

According to their investigation, there were still some people in the main battle faction of the Ming army, such as Chen Bao, Huang Ting, Hong Xishan and others, but these people were the most fierce.

Among them, Lin Cha and Chen Kai have cooperated for many years and have a tacit understanding; Li Jianjie and Chen Bin were both surrendered by the Ming army to the Qing and then to the Ming, and they did not dare to descend again; The Ke brothers, Du Hui, Zhou Quanbin, Lan Deng and others have all lived and died with Chen Kai; Lin Dezhong and Jiang Meiao are said to be Chen Kai's diehard cronies. Speaking of which, it is not easy to divide and disintegrate.

"What's even more hateful is that most of these rebellious ministers and thieves are still in Guangdong now, and they are even more under the command of Chen Kai's house."

Zheng Hongkui also explained this situation to the people they sent in secret. On the Guangdong side, Shang Geng's second feudal domain has always been strong, and Zheng Chenggong can't take care of the two lines of southern Fujian and eastern Guangdong, so he can only hand it over to Chen Kai, a cronie and deputy, to preside over it. But Chen Kai is a civil official, and now the ancestral system of using literature to control the military is no longer useful, Zheng Chenggong inevitably has the problem of military generals not listening to the command, and simply sent them to have friendships and work with Chen Kai, so that the civil and military forces can work together to defend the territory of eastern Guangdong, but it also laid the groundwork for the dilemma of appeasement.

Speaking of which, this matter is not only in their anxiety, but also Zheng Chenggong. In order to avoid internal division in the Ming army, Zheng Chenggong also submitted a letter to the Qing court, requesting that the prefectures and counties be increased to accommodate the troops. To put it bluntly, using too many high-ranking officials to buy off generals can weaken the strength of the main battle faction to a negligible degree. However, this undoubtedly requires the approval of the Qing court, and the two sides will inevitably continue to bargain.

"We can't go on like this, we have to get things done as soon as possible!"

As a local magistrate of the main Fu faction, at this time, it has been May, and the matter of recruiting Fu has been done for a year, and there is still no result. If it were that simple, it would be fine, but the problem is that the current situation in Fujian is already very bad, and Zhaofuyin has turned this province into a mess. As far as they are concerned, only when the matter of appeasement is completely completed, can they be regarded as covering up all the ugliness in vain, otherwise they will wait to go to prison and be convicted, and there is no other way.

As soon as the two gamblers who had lost red eyes received the will of the Qing court, they hurriedly sent people to the Zhongzuo Institute. At this time, Zheng Chenggong was not in the Zhongzuo Institute, but had already arrived in Quanzhou.

A large number of landless and hungry people poured into Quanzhou, and the local law and order inevitably deteriorated. Zheng Chenggong stayed here to be shocked, but more importantly, the current situation was actually within Chen Kai's expectations, to be precise, within the plan, Zheng Chenggong is here at this time to further implement the plan.

"Fifty percent of the new people in Yongchun County have been transferred to the boundary of Zhangzhou Prefecture, and two percent of the people in Dehua County have also passed. In addition, many people in Yanping Prefecture are moving from Ningyang County to Longyan and Zhangping, and the students have already sent people to inform the local officials of the two places to organize manpower to restrain them. ”

It was Pan Gengzhong who spoke, and Zheng Chenggong now put aside Feng Chengshi's most useful staff in the scene, and there was no one. At this moment, what Pan Gengzhong is talking about is also the current priority, and only the core of the Zheng Group knows the full content of the plan.

"Very good, Chaozhou should also be taken into account, and it is equally important there."

"Students understand, students do it."

Pan Gengzhong said goodbye and left, and continued to do things. Sitting in the official room, Zheng Chenggong's brows furrowed slightly, recalling Chen Kai's plan, in fact, the estimated scale of the arrival of the refugee wave has been skewed, and those people who could not survive in the Qing court-controlled areas were far more than they imagined, and they arrived earlier.

This is indeed because they underestimated the insatiable greed of the Qing court officials. But now this has undoubtedly affected the pace of the plan, so that Zheng Chenggong has to speed up the pace to cope with the current changes.

In Hui'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture, to the east of the county seat, there are many small fortresses, forming an impregnable defense system. However, the Qing army had already hit a wall on the bank of the Luo River, and it was not a necessary way to go here, but only played a deterrent role.

To the west of the county seat, a camp for the fleeing people was already overcrowded, and the family that had been in Huangbai Mountain not long ago had migrated here not long ago. Along the way, although it was only through the narrow Xinghua Mansion, but in the case of the looting of the green camp and the rampant bandits of the people, there were also seven or eight tribesmen, men, women, old people, children, and many of them did not come to this destination alive.

By the time it was time for dinner, there was already a long queue at the soup kitchen. Men, women, and children have to queue up on their own, and this is the rule, and they have to follow it.

There were incidents of theft in the camp, which were caused by hunger. The family simply divided into two groups, one group went to line up, and the other group stayed in the place where they lived to watch the limited possessions.

Porridge, as always, is semi-thin and not thick, and it is impossible to eat enough, but with a cushion on the stomach, you can always live. If you drink more water, you can mix half full. As long as you don't pee easily, at least this illusory feeling is still there.

He held a bamboo block in his hand, and a strange symbol was burned out of it, which was the proof of receiving porridge. The man easily lined up in the place, threw the bamboo pieces into a basket, and handed him a bowl of vegetable porridge with his own husband.

After receiving the porridge, the man rushed back with several clansmen from front to back, and another group of clansmen had to rush to line up. took the porridge back, during which two men fought because they spilled the porridge in the bowl, it was none of his business, he didn't stop, just took a look, especially when he saw that the law enforcement team of the Ming army had rushed over in the distance, he lost his interest in watching the excitement even more.

After returning to the place where they lived, the other clansmen went to get the porridge, but several elders of the clan sat there waiting for them to return.

"The warden over there said that he would send us to Zhangzhou Mansion. It is said that when you get there, you will have more work and more food. ”

"Hey."

Although they are all a province, and they are not far apart, they are getting farther and farther away from their hometowns. But since they have already arrived at other people's land, disobedience is likely to be directly blown away, and they can only do it according to the above arrangement. At the very least, the phrase stuttering is still tempting.

After eating the porridge, when the time comes, someone will take the bowl away, and at the same time, the inspector will issue a voucher for the next meal in the family unit. Bowls, there will be a small official to organize the women of the camp to go to the stream to wash them, this is one of their jobs. In addition, there are sprinklers and corpses in the camp, and there are also manual tasks such as digging ditches outside the camp. Of course, those who do manual work can get some extra dry food, and they will have more to eat than those who eat idle food in the camp.

Early the next morning, the family who received the transfer of Zhangzhou Mansion had a slightly more sumptuous rebellion, which was nothing more than a thicker porridge. Next, according to the arrangement of the officials, hundreds of people marched to Zhangzhou Mansion under the leadership of a team of Ming troops, and there was a camp for shelter on each way, which was also to prevent them from harassing the local people too much.

A few days later, when I arrived in Changtai County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, there was already a large camp here. They entered and were placed in a tent colony near the northwest edge of the camp. Before he put down the belongings he was carrying, the Ming army had already knocked on the gong and shouted.

"Wang Shi recruits soldiers, and he folds one or two or five cents a month and one stone of his true color, which is enough to feed his family. If there are those who are willing to eat well, go to the recruiting office at the east exit of the camp to be tested, and there is no waste under the surname of the country, and there is no waste! ”

A team of Ming soldiers beat the gong and passed by, and they were not responsible for explaining, but just shouted according to the instructions of their superiors. Although it is said that the status of military households in the Ming Dynasty is low, the folded color of these two or five coins plus the true color of one stone still makes many people tempted.

discussed it with the elders of the clan, especially seeing that the men from the two families had already rushed to recruit soldiers, lest the quota be full, and they would not care about whether the military household was or not. Just like that, a group of men hurriedly rushed over.

There are already a lot of people around the recruiting point, or line up according to the rules, and it is easy to send it to the front to see clearly, in fact, the requirements are not difficult, just lift a stone lock and walk up three steps. The man was conceited and had the strength to get it, so he stepped forward and bowed, buckled the stone lock, and when he lifted his breath, the stone lock followed, and even attracted the applause of the surrounding crowd.

It is said that this is the rule of recruiting soldiers when the country surnamed Ye raised troops in South Australia back then, and the man didn't know this, but the Ming army who recruited the soldiers just now said that after walking three steps, he could enter the camp, and he did so.

The stone lock was raised in one breath, all with that breath of dantian. At first, it was okay, and the first step was quite steady, but when he walked to the second step, he always felt that the breath was a little insufficient, but before the third step was taken, his arms couldn't hold it up, and the stone lock took off his hand, but the muffled sound immediately made his heart sink.

"Master Jun, the villain has probably been hungry for a long time, and he can walk in ten steps if he doesn't say three steps on weekdays."

The recruiting stone is an imitation of the one in front of the town of South Australia, weighing two hundred and forty pounds, which is indeed heavy enough. The man wanted to try again, but he didn't know that the officer sitting there didn't look at it, he only knew that he didn't finish three steps when he lifted it, but he was just doing business, and he didn't have the slightest accommodation, so he just let the next one try.

The next one was one of his cousins, who was not his opponent when he broke his wrists on weekdays, but this time when he saw that he lost, he was riveted with all his strength and staggered down the three steps.

"Go over there, register, and go to dinner after registering!"

"Thank you, thank you."

After a few rounds, some of the brothers in the clan have become successful, and some have not, and there are joys and sorrows here. When everyone was done, the group returned to the place where they lived, and it was the same, except that he, the best of his generation, failed to pass the test and fell through the glasses of the clansmen.

"The old man heard that the recruitment has been going on for some days, and it has not stopped. Eat more in the past two days, slow down your strength, and go again! ”

The other brothers in his room were no play, and they all pointed to him alone. Sure enough, after two days of heat and food, when he went back the next afternoon, he had walked three steps without much effort, and he even continued to walk with the stone lock.

"If you don't understand the words, do you, just take three steps, the military orders are forbidden, and those who are disobedient get out."

The officer said so, where did the man dare to do anything, and hurriedly put the stone lock back in the distance, respectfully saluted and happily went to register.

Sign up, naturally, you have to enter the camp. A few days later, the man, along with the others who passed the test, was taken by a group of Ming troops to a large camp in southern Haicheng County, where they would undergo the most basic training before being assigned to the various barracks for further training and running-in. It's just that as soon as he entered the camp and looked at the crowd of people in front of him, the man couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"My God, my God, the country has recruited so many soldiers, what are you going to do!"
