Qin Gongming said righteously: "The white pole soldiers are loyal and patriotic, the Son of Heaven is called, even if they are in the water and fire, they have to go, why are they afraid to sacrifice themselves to die?" How can you give up everyone for a small family? ”

Huang Han sighed in his heart, no wonder Ma Xianglin, the master of the white pole soldiers, died in a foreign country, and finally died in Xiangyang, if he took the men and horses to stay in the stone pillar of the base camp with geographical advantages, people and people, it would be impossible to become a tragic hero.

and Qin Gongming, the second brother, is even more simple and cute, if he hadn't been born out of nowhere and affected history, he would have been following Qin Yiming and Ma Xianglin to be stationed in Shanhaiguan, and he would have died in a fierce battle with the rebellious Tusi the year before last.

Huang Han continued to patiently enlighten several uncles who were poisoned by feudal dogmas such as "the monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die".

He said: "The rampant situation in Henan and Shanxi cannot be solved by an army that can fight and fight, and only painstaking management like mine can curb the spread of the bandits and make the situation change for the better."

You have all seen the tragic situation of the common people in Shanxi, Henan and Henan who are thousands of miles away from their children, and in a situation where a woman is likely to kill someone for half a piece of multigrain bread, it is no longer a war but a cannibalism.

How can this change? I want to hear what you think of those who still insist on going out of Sichuan to suppress the Kou? ”

Ma Xianglin, Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming, and so on were all silent, they fought back to Sichuan along the way, and they were indeed starving, and they really saw a lot of human tragedies.

After a while, Qin Yiming asked: "Dongping Hou must have an idea in his heart, we are all brothers of our own family, you can talk about it, let's listen to you!" ”

Huang Han cleared his throat and said: "It is actually not a difficult problem to solve the situation of Henan and Shanxi, the most simple and effective way is to calculate how many people can feed the food in your hand, and leave these people who can eat food."

Then kill everyone else who can see it, because in the absence of food, the people who have begun to eat people will no longer have reverence, they will all be rogues, and they will be killed.

Otherwise, this area would not be able to be reclaimed, and no one would dare to reclaim it, because the surviving rogues would come to loot food, and even rob women and children to eat meat. ”

Ma Xianglin exclaimed: "Nonsense, as you say, isn't it going to kill millions of people? Not only can't we do it, but we don't have the ability to do it. ”

Zhang Fengyi pulled Ma Xianglin and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Dongping is the most pity for the people of Shengdou, everyone can see it, he is just talking, why is the husband so uncontrollable?" ”

Ma Xianglin still stared at Huang Han with one eye, and said angrily: "He did save not the common people, but he also killed tens of thousands of people before and after, maybe he can really do this when there is no food." ”

Huang Han didn't get angry at all, he still smiled and said:

"The approach I just talked about does work, and someone has proven it.

In the year of the Apocalypse, Liaodong suffered a food shortage, and the old slave Nurhachi adopted the method of slaughtering all the Han people who had no rations in order to prevent the hungry people's livelihood. ”

Qin Yiming said: "The old slave is cruel and inhumane, how can we do such an evil thing?" ”

"You brothers can't do such a move, so what are you doing in a place where you are thousands of miles away?

As long as those places are not Zhuangzi who has entered the village to protect themselves, or the people who are hiding in the county seat and state capital, they are theoretically all rogues, and if you don't start the massacre, are you preparing to let your people and horses waste their time and starve to death in the end? ”

Qin Gongming's face flushed, and with his insight and knowledge, he could argue against Huang Han, a college student in later generations, and a scholar in this world.

He muttered, "Isn't it true that killing people indiscriminately is the only way to solve the problem of the displaced people in Shanxi?" That doesn't seem right! ”

Huang Han smiled: "It's really wrong, so you must understand the truth that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, if you don't go to those places where there is nothing to do, you will naturally not seek trouble." ”

Qin Gongming was deflated and said depressedly: "Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, what does Dongping Hou mean is to let me wait in Sichuan, and I can't go to Shanxi and Henan, right?" ”

"It's not so absolute, because there is a second way besides the massacre, which is for the army to bring in a lot of food.

After defeating the Liukou, a piece of land was encircled for military management, and it was necessary to ensure that the people in the tuntian could survive and have a harvest in the field in order to be effective, but there was a big problem of where the food would come from. ”

Ma Xianglin said: "Grain? How many families can have surplus food in a bad year now? Even if there were, they still want to prevent a famine, and they won't take it out! ”

"So I think that your brothers are completely busy with the troops to suppress the Kou, rather than let the white pole soldiers die in vain in Henan and Shanxi, it is better to guard the construction of water conservancy facilities in Sichuan, and adopt the method of executing the military cantonment to ensure food production.

When they were able to obtain surplus grain, they slowly occupied some of the plagued areas by the bandits in a planned way according to the grain stock in their hands, and took in the displaced people to give them grain to organize their reclamation.

Year after year, encroachment is carried out to ensure that the land is not only fed and clothed by the people, but also has surplus grain for the next land expansion. ”

Zhang Fengyi said: "I followed Dongping Hou for a year, and I saw with my own eyes that the 'Red Flag Army' did this and it was fruitful, and now there are probably more than hundreds of thousands of living people." ”

Ma Xianglin breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "In this way, the first task of the white pole soldiers in the future is to stick to Sichuan and obtain as much food as possible, even if Henan and Shanxi are bloody and pestle-ridden, they must not move." ”

Huang Han replied affirmatively: "Yes, without food, the white pole soldiers can't go anywhere, in case they fall into death, I'm afraid you may all fall into killing and eating." ”

Zhang Fengyi frowned, and her stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable, but she had seen hundreds of thousands of displaced refugees and knew that Huang Han's fable was not groundless.

Huang Han then changed his words and said: "Of course, I'm not asking everyone to resist and disobey, pretending that you should always be, right?"

It is normal to pull the team out slowly, and then report to the imperial court that there are a few more rogue gangsters in Sichuan, and you really can't take advantage of the reason that the backyard fire is unstable to bring the troops back to Sichuan? ”

This is the sin of deception! Several uncles didn't say a word, Qin Gongming was extremely depressed, just buried himself in drinking, and it didn't take long for him to get drunk.

In the evening, Zhang Fengyi and Ma Xianglin told their mother about Huang Han's remarks word for word, and although Qin Liangyu frowned when he heard it, he did not have a seizure.

She sighed and said, "Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, my son-in-law is a real villain!" But there are many gentlemen in the court who think they are frank and open, do they have the feat of Huang Han saving hundreds of thousands of ordinary people? Daming has this son in misfortune? ”
