"In the past six months, the number of refugees from the north has reached more than 10,000, and according to what we know from the refugees, the Qing army must have deliberately released water on them. Because the Qing army has found them many times, but they have not tried to arrest and kill them as before. ”

Gu Xiuquan, director of the Military Investigation Bureau, reported to Wang Yue.

"Well, interesting!" Wang Yue asked suspiciously: "Which play is Huang Taiji playing?" ”

"I think it's trying to deplete our food reserves." Li Zixuan analyzed: "There are only about 20,000 aborigines on the Lushun Peninsula, but we have nearly 40,000 people together with the Tiance Army, the Ming Army of Dongjiang Town, and labor immigrants. Then there is our sweeping work some time ago, which has brought more than 16,000 people. Jiannu should not be ignorant of this situation, coupled with the recent refugees in the Lushun Peninsula, the population of the Lushun Peninsula has suddenly increased by 70,000, Jiannu should want to use the population to drag us down, this is a fair and honest conspiracy. ”

"Zixuan's analysis makes sense." Regarding logistics, Wang Yue has never been worried, so he didn't think of coming here.

Then he sneered again: "Huang Taiji is really delusional, population has always been a dividend for my starting city. His vision was too short-sighted, after all, it was only the vision of a tribal chief, and he couldn't imagine how terrifying the logistics of sea transportation were. ”

Even according to the most abundant standards, if each refugee is provided with one pound of food per day, how much does 10,000 people consume every month? - 300,000 catties, only 150 tons. A motorized wooden cargo ship can carry 1,200 tons, not to mention a supply ship of 23,000 tons, which also carries grain. For this expedition to Lushun, the Tiance Army prepared more than 12,000 tons of grain, enough for 70,000 people to eat for more than half a year.

Last year, the Shuntianfu area had another bumper grain harvest, because the farming time was proper and the cultivation was reasonable, and the grain yield per mu increased by 30 percent compared with the ninth year of Chongzhen.

In addition to absorbing the military fields of military households from all over Shuntianfu, the cultivated area of the starting point city has reached 10 million mu, and the total grain output has exceeded five times that of Chongzhen's ninth year, reaching 1.25 million tons.

According to the words of the Hubu Shangshu Hou Sui to Chongzhen: "The land of Shuntianfu has surpassed the south of the Yangtze River. ”

However, the current head of the household department is Li Zhiwen, and he was promoted by the right attendant of the household department. Mr. Hou Sui, that is, Hou Fangyu's father, was impeached and imprisoned. At that time, Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the ministry, deliberately gave a light sentence, Chongzhen was furious, and Zheng Sanjun was also imprisoned. The secretary who took over afterwards was Tian Weijia, and anyway, the officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty have always been very diligent.

Taiwan's Tamsui region has grown a season of late rice, and it has basically been able to be self-sufficient in grain, and another season of winter wheat was planted last winter. Although the land has yet to be cultivated due to the fact that the land has just been cleared, there is already a surplus of grain in Taiwan. This year's early rice has been planted and can be harvested in mid-May, and Taiwan, which crops three times a year, will soon become a granary.

Grain no longer needs to be transshipped by Wang Yue from modern times, and Lushun is an ice-free port, and after the port is built, it can be used normally in winter. In order to better provide logistical support, motorized fishing boats will also be added to the Lushun area to provide abundant fish for the area.

Therefore, knowledge determines fate, and Huang Taiji can be called the best politician and military strategist of this era, but his knowledge and experience have limited his thinking mode after all.

Since Nurhachi raised his army, whether it was the Manchu regime itself, or the Dongjiang Army, the Guanning Army and other forces that had been entangled with it for many years, they had always been in a state of material shortage.

Not enough food to eat is the norm for them. Especially in the cold winter and the ensuing spring famine, it is necessary to make careful calculations for every grain of grain and every population that will consume food. If there were a population that exceeded its own number by one or even two times its own number all at once, no matter how powerful the organization was, it would be chaotic - this was probably Huang Taiji's idea.

Huang Taiji could never have imagined that behind this small Port Arthur, a behemoth of such a scale would be involved, so his strategy was doomed to failure.

Yang conspiracy was not effective against the Tiance army at all, and the Manchu Qing were better at conspiracy.

Next to the bodies of two fugitive laborers, this is a lumber yard, and there is a forest of large trees nearby. Hearing that there was a murder here, Wang Yue rushed here in person.

After reading it, Wang Yue asked, "Did they die in a dispute with someone, or was it something else?" ”

Gu Xiuquan replied: "I have already asked the captain of this team, and these two have not had a quarrel with anyone recently. Judging from the knives they were stabbed in the back, they should have been attacked by someone, and the place where they were attacked was not far from the other team members, but no one else heard the shouts of these two people, so it is certain that the blow is fatal, and the action is fast, so it can be judged that the murderer is a professional killer. ”

"Why kill them? What do you think the murderer was for? Wang Yue asked while guessing.

These fugitives have almost nothing, and now these people are provided with food by the Tiance Army, and they have not been paid in any way, and there is no murder for money.

"The most valuable thing on them is the saws for logging, and the murderer did not take them." Gu Xiuquan pointed to the saw on the ground and said: "Therefore, the humble judgment should be that the Jiannu spies who have been mixed in among the fugitives, hoping to bring panic to the Lushun region with death." ”

Wang Yue sneered: "Their best goal should be to burn down the granary, right?" Later, it was discovered that our grain was stored on the ship and could not be approached, so the target was shifted. ”

"That's how it should be!" Gu Xiuquan lowered his head and saluted Wang Yue: "This is a lowly negligence, please punish the commander." ”

Wang Yue shook his head and said: "I can't blame you all, there are not many people from your Investigation Bureau who come to Lushun, and the number of fugitives is huge, so it is inevitable to be negligent." ”

Then Li Zixuan, who came with Wang Yue, said: "Zixuan, you transfer some troops from the Third Regiment and the Security Regiment to cooperate with the work of the Investigation Bureau and carefully investigate the fugitives." In addition, all fugitives are isolated from other workers and operate alone in designated areas. ”

Li Zixuan responded: "Okay, commander! ”

Unexpectedly, a murder case made all the fugitives the target of surveillance.

The Qing army spies mixed with the fugitives were at a loss. The grain could not be approached on the ship, and the army did not dare to approach, which was undoubtedly sending people to death. Their target is indeed a granary, which is a very traditional target, and they can't figure out the other facilities and equipment of the Tiance Army, let alone destroy it. For example, the construction vehicles in the Lushun area are all over the ground, which is strange and scary to look at. (https:)
