Chapter 880: The Bozhou Incident

Divert the gaze, just like that, with real money and resources to divert the gaze, and even come up with technology, these are enough to make the Northern Song Dynasty dizzy, but these are not enough to keep it completely secret, after all, the departure of a large number of people, there are always some clues, in the Northern Song Dynasty, there are also some people who chase the roots.

Of course, the Dinghai Navy does not hesitate to use thunder means for these, as long as this influence does not rise to the state level, and at the county level, it will do whatever it takes, and press the matter down first.

Politics, there are compromises, but also there are many dark sides, under a lot of efforts, under countless real money, the railway line in the north, the Yangtze River waterway in the south, these two trunk lines, endlessly immigration, especially after entering March, it has risen to a peak.

Whether it is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Navy or the people who personally implement the immigration strategy, they all know that such unscrupulousness, hundreds of thousands, or even more immigrants every day, cannot last at all.

The railway belongs to the Dinghai Navy and the Northern Song Dynasty, but in the area of the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as the railway is dug up, such a smooth trunk line will be cut off.

In the same way, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also strengthened its infiltration, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which itself uses money to open the way, has some convenience in many aspects, and the problem of the management fee for dispatching workers is even more like a fish in water, even if there are some twists and turns, it has been completed without danger.

Such a crazy immigration action, starting from the third day of the lunar lunar calendar, lasted until mid-April, in more than three months, according to the average rate of 410,000 people per day, a total of 41 million people were transported, in the middle, aside from the more than 7 million returning laborers and residents of the Dinghai Sea, almost 33 million, although it did not reach the planned 35 million and 38 million, but it has been completed 9 percent.

In mid-April, the smuggling of railways began to stop, and the diplomats and teachers stationed throughout the Northern Song Dynasty, except for a small number of diplomats with identities on the surface, also began to evacuate, and at this time, the railway could not be chosen.

Because, such a crazy transportation, some places, even the whole village no longer exists, some are unwilling to go, or hardcore, or with means to dispose of, or directly kidnapped, this, is done at the end of March to the beginning of April, such a thing, too outrageous, it is impossible to hide for a long time, in this case, if you go from the north, once the railway is cut off, it will be all over, these elite manpower, and the last batch of personnel who can be won over, is also not to be lost.

From the diplomatic front, with the help of a strong diplomatic network, I still got some news, itself in the political arena, the murmur about the population, from the emergence to the stronger and stronger, the coercive means of the navy are not endless, otherwise, the Northern Song Dynasty has already set the navy, he can't do it too coldly, and even the situation of doing it now has attracted attention, although there is no line from top to bottom, but there are already personnel at the state level, who have begun to pay attention.

The government affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty did not go to the countryside, but from the mainstream of the political arena, the state capital is the core, and for the center, it is the road.

The entire immigration can fight for more than 3 months, it is already a very lucky thing, more than 30 million people, maybe thousands of secret trains, and tens of thousands of ships, there is no problem at all, this is already a very lucky thing, and it can continue, I really think that the government of the Northern Song Dynasty does not exist.

Huainan Road Bozhou Dingyuan County, just after night, but a team of horses came outside, the city gate itself was closed, but after a messenger was transferred, about half an hour, the gate was reopened, and the group went directly to the county government.

Zhang Ju, the general judge of Haozhou, himself served in Bozhou, on the way to work, he was stopped in a sedan chair and sued in blood, generally speaking, he did not pay attention, but among them, there was a person, he had to take action, because this was his enlightenment teacher.

Although it is said that after the imperial examination, the enlightenment teacher has long been unable to provide him with a lot of help, and even because of the distance, he has not visited him for many years, but he still knows this person.

According to what is said in the blood book, most of the villages in Dingyuan County are no longer empty, and a few talents, including the enlightenment teacher, found the problem to investigate, and did not know whether they were alive or dead, which was a big deal.

The general judgment itself has the right to investigate the case, but because of the entangled in official affairs, it took him 10 days to deal with some things, and then he came in the dust, and did not notify the local officials during the period.

In the county office, under the compliment of the county, he asked some more information, but unfortunately this county is a mediocre talent, he doesn't know if there are people in these villages, at the turn of spring and summer, and they are not busy with agricultural envoys, most of the officials, rarely deal with government affairs, let alone go on.

Zhang Ju didn't know what to ask, and he didn't care, anyway, he waited until tomorrow and when he got to the ground, he would know.

The next day, accompanied by several officials from the county seat and some soldiers, a group of more than 300 people went to the countryside below, this village called Xiaoju Village, more than 40 miles away from the county seat, the horse team was a little faster, but with the restraint of these local officials, it was almost noon.

Along the way, not to mention Zhang Ju, even the county order saw the problem, because the population on the official road was too sparse, because of the road, they didn't stop after a few villages in the middle, but went directly to Xiaoju Village.

At noon, it was the time for every family to cook, but Xiaoju Village was quiet, the county order and Zhang Ju's heart was sinking, Zhang Ju felt that this blood book was very likely to be true, the whole village was gone, and there was Xiucai who investigated this matter, this is a terrible case, a village, at least a few hundred people, where did these people go, whether they were taken captive or killed, no matter which one it was, it was appalling.

The county magistrate is even more frightened, under his tenure, there is such a big case, his official is probably going to come to an end, thinking that he has only been an official for a few years, it is really sad.

Soon, the soldiers entered the village and investigated, and sure enough, there was no one, but it was not a murder scene, because everyone was locked, and the whole village was locked.

There is no smell of blood, no traces of disorganization, and no signs of banditry, what the hell is going on, Zhang Ju has been an official for more than ten years, and he has never encountered such a strange case.

Soon, no one in the whole village was investigated, and after soliciting some opinions, Zhang Ju decided to choose a few houses with characteristics and break in.

These are, the lowest level, the middle level, and the rich peasants, the landlords, and very quickly, the people in charge of the survey report, very strange, the lowest houses, empty, themselves they are barely eating, and there are not many things, but they are cleaned up relatively cleanly, except for some bulky, wood-made furniture, everything else, has been taken away.

The middle strata were about the same, but some things were left, but most of the softness, clothes, and so on, were taken away, but the kulaks and landlords, who seemed to have packed up in such a hurry, as if they had been plowed over, and some gold and silver were left.

This is strange, from the bottom it looks like it has been moved, from the rich peasants and landlords, it looks like it has encountered robbers and been looted, but what is happening, where are the people going, and where are the targets pointing.

In order to get more clues, Zhang Ju ordered his subordinates to divide into five roads and follow the road all the way to investigate the situation of the surrounding villages.

The speed of the horse team was very fast, about 2 hours, reported over, investigated the surrounding 12 villages, all of them were completely empty, there was no one, and the basic situation in the village was similar to this Xiaoju Village.

After listening to the report, the county order and the county officials directly changed color, a small chrysanthemum village, according to the number registered in the county office, 470 people, this disappearance is a big case, but this and the surrounding 12 villages, a total of more than 5,000 people missing, that is completely incomparable, they only investigated a total of 12 villages, the entire county, how many are there.

Zhang Ju immediately made a decision, directly sat in Dingyuan County, and then mobilized the Xiang Army, the Xiang Army of an army, to stay in Dingyuan County, and then mobilized the government and a large number of personnel to investigate, and then discovered an astonishing fact.

The whole county, nearly 100 villages, more than 700 people, 100 people, at least 8 adults go to the house empty, which means that this is not a very big Dingyuan County, may lose 40,000 people.

At the same time, some people in the surrounding villages are also missing, but not all of them are missing, there are also in the county, and the whole total may exceed 60,000 people.

Zhang Ju was a little panicked at this time, this is too terrible, at the same time, while investigating Dingyuan County, he also ordered the entire Bozhou to investigate the remote villages, at least, the personnel of the county seat, to go to the villages, to see, to see if the people are missing.

Although there is no clear result reported, judging from the current situation, it is not optimistic, because at the very least, the entire Bozhou, so many counties, has lost more than 400,000 people.

Bozhou is also a relatively large state on Huainan Road, but with a population of 400,000, it is already more than 8 percent.

In such a situation, Zhang Ju did not dare to slack off, continued to investigate, and then flew to the top, sent an expedited, sent to Huainan Road, and directly submitted a letter to the center.

After Zhang Ju went deep into the investigation, a lot of things, I was afraid of the word serious, the original sudden situation, especially the disappearance of the whole village, of course, there were no clues, just relying on these clues left, it was impossible to solve the problem.

But when I arrived at the villages around the county, because there were missing and some left, especially in the county, there were more clues, and when all the clues were gathered, these people were indeed missing, and the results all pointed to one place, Dinghai.

At this time, Zhang Ju already knew that this matter was no longer something he could decide, and even the entire Huainan Road could not be decided, at his level, even if he had not faced the Ding Navy, but he also knew that the Ding Navy was powerful, and the Liao State, which was a big trouble in the Northern Song Dynasty, was killed by the Ding Navy, and the Ding Navy would not be even more murderous.

The diplomatic network of the Dinghai Navy covers the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and any disturbance in the Northern Song Dynasty will be known by the Dinghai Navy, not to mention that it is such a big plan related to the entire peaceful evolution, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was notified as soon as it was discovered in Bozhou, and senior officials at the state level paid attention to it, and this matter could not be covered up, but it was still possible to delay a little time.

Part of the power is used to isolate the messenger, at least, so that the messenger can be sent to Huainan Road, the time is delayed, of course, it is not a strong method, drunk, numb, delayed for three or five days, it is still possible.

Of course, this can't buy too much time, in fact, more than one Bozhou, in the Northern Song Dynasty, many state capitals, have an impact, it's just that most of them are counties, and below, the strength of the Ding Navy can deal with it, similar clearances have been carried out many times, and now they finally can't hide it.

However, the whole plan has come to an end, and after entering April, in fact, it has been gradually shrinking the front, and now there is only one tail left.

Taking advantage of this time, in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, some things that should be transferred and needed to be destroyed were destroyed, and even some of the diplomatic personnel, and even some of the personnel above the surface began to be reduced.

Under the cooperation between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ding Navy, especially in the railway, the cooperation was also relatively large, and this cooperation allowed the Ding Navy to obtain more than 30 million people from the Northern Song Dynasty in a short period of time, and therefore, there were many personnel who had to stay in the Northern Song Dynasty, otherwise, the railway would not be able to operate.

The navy will not be all withdrawn, but it will be reduced, for example, a large number of personnel are missing, the personnel of the railway itself are shrinking, at the same time, the large-scale transfer of personnel in the Northern Song Dynasty, after this incident, the density of the steam train has been reduced by 90%, basically reaching the density of the horse-drawn train, all kinds of personnel have been withdrawn on a large scale, almost has reached the peak of more than 9 into 5, and the rest have also made a part of the plan, if the Northern Song Dynasty adopts tough measures, they will choose to withdraw in pieces, at the same time, Some comparative military preparations are also beginning, in short, everything is being prepared in the shadows, and it is almost sabre-rattling.
