Chapter 9 The Sea Barbarians from Fujian

The summer sea breeze blew coolly, and a long procession was like a long dragon, slowly moving towards the capital city of Laizhou.

Their eyes are glazed and lifeless, and many of them are skinny and skinny. Despite the lack of restraints, hundreds of people are as obedient as sheep.

The government suddenly wanted to recruit them, saying that they would find a way to live. Each person gets two loaves a day......

The credibility of the Ming Dynasty government has long fallen below the level line, and no matter how beautiful the words of the government are as beautiful as smallpox, the people will not believe it. But in any case, the two loaves of bread a day are real.

This can save a life.

In this way, one by one, the displaced people and refugees, who are alone or with their families in tow, follow the guidance of the government, step by step, towards the destination that seems to be forever out of reach.

However, the officers and soldiers in charge of escorting on both sides did not become lazy because of this, they walked back and forth around the team, and from time to time they stabbed the slow guy with the barrel of their guns, and reprimanded them:

"Hurry up, go faster, it's going to get dark, and if you can't get to the ground today, you have to camp in the wilderness, and you can't even drink soup."

For the relocation of refugees and displaced people, Zheng Jiashi has invested a lot of money. not only threw a lot of money in the Denglai officialdom, but also directly entrusted it with great power - that is, let the local government guide the displaced people. He also set tens of thousands of stones of old grain at Shen Tingyang's place for the government of Denglai and Denglai to collect the needs of refugees and displaced people.

Old grain is also grain, and for the current Northland, old grain is also very valuable.

Zheng Sen gave the 'power' to those who were officials, didn't he just put the rats in the granary? But a few rats can't cross a large granary. And there's not enough time for these rats to multiply.

This is Chen Hua's decision.

He just wants to send warmth to the officials in the Denglai area, so that these people will turn a blind eye to some inappropriate measures of the Zheng Group on Zhifu Island.

Three years can't be wasted.

And what will be the consequences of 'delegating' the right to move to the officials in the late Ming Dynasty? Zheng Sen saw a mouthful of sand and stone bread for the first time - he was eager to draw a knife and cut people, but was tightly persuaded by Zhang Leshu; For the first time, I saw a handful of wild vegetable bark and a spoonful of stale grain thick porridge.

Thinking about the days of the gentry and wealthy merchants, and then looking at the food and appearance of the refugees and displaced people, Zheng Sen seemed to have received a baptism of the soul, and the emotion in his heart was much worse.

The rebuke was often accompanied by a whip or a gun, and then the whole team was driven a little faster, but then slowly slowed down until the next round of reprimands and whippings came......

It wasn't until it was dark that a camp appeared in front of the team. But it was a fairly well-established barracks. The area is not small, the far log outside is a fence, and the soil is a breast wall. Whether it is a watchtower and arrow tower, or a fence, a deer antler, or even a well, a canal, a special latrine, and a grain storage, there are a lot of them, and it can be said that they have all kinds of organs.

There were not many defenders in the stockade, only twenty or thirty Zheng veterans, plus one hundred and ten volunteers.

The latter is a bachelor among the refugees, who is old enough, has the height standard, and is willing to 'join the army', can come and sign up. Although they are brave and brave, they are not equipped with weapons for the time being, but who are the people behind them? It is Zheng Zhilong, who is rich and rivals the country.

As long as you are steadfast, you will have weapons, armor, and silver.

Wang Qi stood on the watchtower in a single suit, and saw a long dragon coming from a distance, and hurriedly sounded the alarm bell. Although he was 100 percent sure that the one who came was the one they were waiting for. But at the same time, he also knew that if he dared to be the slightest negligent, the eldest son's knife would definitely not spare him!

Along the way, the people around Zheng Sen have vaguely understood his character.

God knows that this master has been studying and studying since he was a child, but why is his personality a little extreme and stubborn?

Not to mention anything else, this master especially can't tolerate the disrespect of his subordinates. This is to govern the villages with military regulations, which is what he appointed. If Wang Qi violates the rules, he will be beheaded in eighteen or nineteen. This is a bloody example from before!

Governing the villages with military regulations and not violating the refugees, violators will not be killed.

Although he Wang Qi is a veteran of the Zheng family, he has a bird? Even Zhang Leshu was disgraced because he collected a little money when he bought grain, and Zheng Ahuang, who was close to him, was also beheaded because he was greedy for food after being released, and he was a fart.

Then Zheng Ahuang was still born in Jinjiang, and he was the first steward of their village.

And this is Zheng Sen's character. It's okay now, he still has a father and a mother, is the family harmonious, the respected Donglin celebrities who are famous all over the world, people with lofty ideals, one by one, have not been stripped of their old bottoms, they have not shown their ugly true faces with their bare buttocks, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not yet pressed on his heart like an unshakable mountain, pressing him out of breath.

Zheng Sen's personality is not as narrow as he was in history, and he can only be said to be a little domineering.

And you must know that if Zhang Leshu, who eats kickbacks, encounters the queen of the national surname in history, he will definitely not be let go so lightly.

Zheng Chenggong in history, what he said was good was courage and fortitude, and what he didn't say was that he was narrow-minded and the punishment was severe. What's more, Zheng Chenggong in his prime was easily impulsive when encountering things, and it was difficult to control his emotions under anger, and he often recklessly acted for his likes and dislikes for the moment, causing many bad effects.

Now Zheng Sen is just a little grim.

For the superior, this kind of character can't be said to be good, but it's not bad, right?

And that is, when it was dark at this day, in the Laishan Mountain north of Pingdu Prefecture, there was a dilapidated dissipation, standing alone on a green mountain. Scattered in the stockade were a few horses and some untidy mountain bandits, about three or two hundred people. Several leaders sat next to each other by a bonfire, scolding their mothers while stretching out their hands to take meat from the roast pig on the fire.

The leader was a man in his thirties, with a dark complexion and rough skin, wearing a gray military robe, with a slap-long scar cut diagonally on his face, which was pulled from his left eye to his right cheek.

His name is Zhang Kui, and he is a man with a story, and his face is shrouded in a layer of despicable life and death.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

Several leaders looked at each other and laughed, and one of them said most appropriately with Scarface: "The younger brothers know a lot, but they just listened to the government's preaching, and their hearts itched." How to act, you have to listen to the instructions of the eldest brother. ”

Their leader is from the family of Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong. If it weren't for the creation of people, getting drunk and fighting with people, and beating people to death by mistake, people are still following Liu Dazong Rong to eat and drink spicy food, how could they come to Laizhou to fall into the grass.

"Then follow me to the Zheng family." Scarface said unceremoniously.

"But big brother, the words of the government are like farts, how can you really believe it?" That's their biggest concern. One person's voice fell, and several others echoed.

"I can't believe the words of the government. But the Zheng family's money and food are trustworthy. "Those sea barbarians from Fujian have spent real money. Scarface believes that there are people in this world who don't love money, but he definitely doesn't believe that there are people in this world who play with silver.
