The first purpose is naturally to save these more than 5,000 Jingshi refugees, so that they can survive this winter, and when the Manchu Tatars leave the customs, they can return to their hometowns and start again.

The second purpose is that these refugees in Beijing should not have a good impression of corrupt officials. In this way, absorbing some people with small families into the East Factory will not only have fresh blood to impact the original pattern of decay, but also make them more motivated to do what a Dongchang fan should do, and strictly investigate those corrupt officials.

The third purpose is to arrange for refugees to enter the homes of the princes and nobles and officials at all levels in Beijing, which is like a nail driven into them, and it is impossible for them to become their real own people in each province at least for a short time. When the Tartars retreated, according to Xue Guoguan's proposal, they began to borrow money from civil and military officials, Wang Gongxun, and nobles, it was possible that there would be new channels for information to obtain. After this is done, these refugees will be able to return to their hometowns, and they should be able to catch up with spring ploughing!

Emperor Chongzhen thought of these things in his heart, but his expression was still serious and asked, "What else does Zhuqing have to play?" “

At this time, the sky had already brightened, and these officials who had gone to the early dynasty were already freezing enough. It's not a particularly important thing, and no one wants to play it right in the morning court anymore. In addition, the two things just now were not very satisfactory, the emperor seemed to be very assertive, if he did it again, he was led by the emperor to make a decree on the spot, and he didn't have to change it. Therefore, based on this idea, for a while, no one spoke again.

Many of them were actually pondering the emperor's performance in the early dynasty today. I heard that the emperor was different after Taizu's dream, but now when I see it, it is indeed the case. How to deal with the emperor in the future, so that the situation will not deviate from his own calculations, you have to think about it.

Seeing that the military officials below did not speak, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "More than 5,000 refugees, all of whom are my people, although they can be resettled now, but I don't see the implementation, I don't see that they can really eat a bite of food, and there is a place to escape the cold, so I am still uneasy in my heart." So I decided to ......"

When these courtiers heard what he said, they couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't the emperor really care about those untouchables? Didn't you respond because of your duties as emperor?

Sincerity, they can still see it.

Generally speaking, emperors are actually the most ruthless. But as the father of hundreds of millions of people, he always has to say something about the people who have suffered disasters, after all, the emperor cares about face the most. Now that the resettlement of the victims has been arranged, it is actually good enough for the emperor.

This matter should be revealed! But the emperor doesn't seem to be done yet, what is this going to do?

When they were wondering, they heard Emperor Chongzhen make a serious decision: "I have to lead officials above the fifth rank to visit the refugees, and send another decree to the prince and lord of Jingshi, and I must rush over immediately, and I will wait for them." I have to see that the refugees are completely settled, otherwise it will be okay for me to worry about it! ”

Hearing this, the eunuch on duty immediately took two steps forward and shouted sharply: "The Beijing officials above the fifth rank will follow, and the rest will wait to retreat!" ”

As soon as some officials who were choking on the cold heard this, they immediately shouted "Long live, long live, long live" in accordance with etiquette, and hurriedly sent the emperor to retire from the court, and they could also go back to the yamen to warm up.

In addition, many officials listened to it, and originally wanted to stop it, the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, how can he leave the palace easily! But they didn't have time to speak, and the will to retreat from the dynasty came down, and the emperor had already risen. With this posture, they didn't have a chance at all, and their colleagues on the side were shouting "Long live, long live, long live", which made them very helpless and couldn't stop it!

At this time, although the winter has risen, it is still very cold under the cold wind! The square in the southeast of the city is full of tents of all kinds. Inside each tent, almost all of them were packed with people. But there were many more, no tents at all, all hiding in the corners, huddled in a heap with each other to protect themselves from the cold.

On the periphery of this square, there are heavily armed soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, with cold and shining weapons inside, daring to attack them, and the refugees who try to escape from here will be driven back by them without hesitation, obsessedly, a few hanging corpses not far from them, which are considered to be killing chickens and monkeys, swinging in the wind.

When the sun was all rising, I saw some soldiers carrying some large vats and shouting "drink porridge".

Suddenly, the refugees who had been huddled together immediately swarmed into the vats, holding all kinds of bowls and the like, and squeezed towards the large vats. There is no order, only greater strength. What kind of courtesy, righteousness and shame, in front of this life-saving porridge, nothing is useless!

This so-called porridge, not to mention that the chopsticks don't fall, is just a jar of water, or rather, it's just a little white water, and you can see a single digit of rice grains at most when you put it in a bowl. But even if it is, it's like a crazy robbery. The weaker ones were pushed aside.

But when they got to the side of the tank, no matter how strongly they pushed others before, they would change to a smile in a blink of an eye, nodding to the soldiers on the edge of the vat in exchange for such a bowl of "porridge". Otherwise, if you are a little disrespectful, you will be reprimanded and scolded, and you will be whipped and even kicked out of the porridge team. The so-called dignity is worthless here, and if you care about dignity, you can only starve to death!

When the porridge was being given, suddenly a group of boys and buddies, fresh clothes and angry horses, those peripheral soldiers saw it, and they all gave manners to get out of the way, obviously these people who came had status.

When the refugees saw this, they avoided it one after another, but none of them greeted them.

And after this group of boys and buddies entered the refugee camp, they showed disgust on their faces one by one, covered their mouths and noses with their hands, rode on horses, and began to look around. One of them suddenly pointed with a horsewhip.

Suddenly, the two housekeepers behind him rushed over, dragged a woman who was pointed at and left.

When a young man next to the woman saw it, he immediately pounced and tried to stop him, but he was able to beat the two family members, and was kicked to the ground by one of the family members, and at the same time scolded and said: "My son-in-law has taken a fancy to her, it is her blessing, do you want to die?" ”

The woman also struggled violently, obviously refusing to go, crying and shouting: "Brother, save me, brother, save me......"

The young man struggled and got up again, but he was supposed to be hungry, and he had no strength at all, and he was kicked to the ground again.

This scene made the soldiers and other family members watching on the side laugh, as if they were watching a big show.

The other boys and buddies are almost all doing the same thing, looking for a beautiful woman among the refugees, and after pointing with a horsewhip, there will be a family member who will rush over and drag people, whether others want to or not.

There is no family land, and they are directly dragged away; Those with family members, just like the young man just now, tried their best to stop them, but they could only attract a beating and ridicule like watching a play.

The young man watched his sister being dragged away, and his eyes were full of despair. At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came: "Stop! ”
