Chapter 236: Singing and Measuring Sand
"What's your plan?" Liang Hongyu asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Qin Hao said: "My idea is very simple, collect the empty sacks in the military camp, I don't care if they are filled with weeds or sand, in short, we want to make those people in Hangzhou feel that we are really 100,000 stone grain." ā
Liang Hongyu approvingly: "Your idea is good, in order to escape the pursuit of the Wei army, Tan Daoji sang the amount of sand, so that the Wei army mistakenly thought that his food was sufficient, so he did not dare to pursue, so that Tan Daoji calmly withdrew the army."
By doing so, you will not only be able to stabilize the people's minds, but also make those profiteers afraid and not dare to raise grain prices easily. ā
Ma Kuo continued: "The people take food as the sky, as long as the food price is stable, coupled with the supervision of the army, I believe that Hangzhou will not be able to mess up even if it wants to!" ā
When Ma Kuo said this, he suddenly looked into the distance, and then said, "Jiangnan counterinsurgency has consumed too much of our energy, if we can't end this war as soon as possible, in the future battle to recover Youzhou, we will suffer a big loss." ā
As a person after a thousand years, Qin Hao understands better than anyone that Lianjin Hangliao and recovering Youzhou are not only a matter of suffering a big loss, but a matter of losing the country, but these words, he can only rot in his heart, and he can't say it to anyone.
Everything he is doing now is to avoid that terrible ending, although the Zhao family dynasty is not even a bird in Qin Hao's heart, in fact, in the entire Jingkang difficulty, there are so many princes and grandsons of the Zhao family, and there is really no one who has a bird.
The entire Zhao clan is unbearable to be humiliated and seeking festivals, that is, the current crown princess and the future queen Zhu Lian alone, because of that humiliation, Zhu Chengli will shine in later generations, so that the people of the land of Shenzhou will suffer deeply.
Therefore, avoiding the occurrence of Jingkang is the only purpose for Qin Hao to come to this world, and for this purpose, he does not hesitate to shed a river of blood, because the current blood flows like a river, which is to open peace for future generations.
Among these people, Liang Hongyu and Tian Xiaoqian did not participate in the Maritime Alliance a year ago, although they occasionally heard Qin Hao mention them, they did not have that kind of empathy, and their hearts were naturally not so urgent.
Liang Hongyu said: "Lianjin resists Liao and recovers Youzhou, although it is an established national policy, it is a year or a few years later, when we finish this battle and have time to rest, what we have to do now is to find a sack." ā
Yes, appeasing the people in the city is the top priority, the top priority.
Qin Hao, as a pacification envoy in Hangzhou, if this matter is not done well, not only will it not appease the people in the city, but it will arouse their resentment, and in the future, don't talk about it.
Qin Hao's 3,000 soldiers and horses all have tasks, Ma Kuo's army was originally in the city to extinguish the fire, after repeated battles, the fire in the city has almost been extinguished, so the matter of pulling grain is basically completed by Ma Kuo's men and horses.
First pull the grain to the government office, and then carry out a second distribution, and distribute one-third of the grain to the porridge shacks, so as to ensure that the homeless or foodless people can fill their stomachs tonight.
Although these porridges can't let them eat enough, but at least let them survive, it coincides with troubled times, survival is their first task, only survive will there be hope, and only by surviving will they have the opportunity to hold up a blue sky for their descendants.
Jiangnan is rich, perhaps the imperial court was frightened by the Fangla uprising, and the rescue grain came in a very timely manner, and the grain was transported from Jiangning Mansion.
In the past, the transportation was extremely underdeveloped, the soldiers and horses were not moved, and the grain and grass went first, and this concept seems to have penetrated into the bone marrow of the ancients.
From Jiangning Mansion to Hangzhou City, turning east and west, the journey is thousands of miles, if this is done after recovering Hangzhou, the grain will not arrive so quickly.
For this reason, Qin Hao's heart was somewhat emotional about the Jiangning Prefect.
There is food in their hands, there is no panic in their hearts, the feelings of the common people are simple, as long as they can be given a bite to eat and a way to live, how can anyone risk the whole family being killed to resist?
Therefore, the next thing is very simple, after the people's will is stabilized, the governance of Hangzhou City will be changed from the initial military management to the state government yamen, and Qin Hao still believes in these surviving officials.
The big waves washed the sand, and all that survived was gold, and those officials with great resentment among the people, even if they did not become Fang La's ghosts, were also destroyed by those righteous people with the momentum of Fang La.
Those who survived, although they were not good officials in the mouths of the common people, their crimes were at least not monstrous, and the new prefect did not dare to go too far, and always looked cautious.
Half a month later, the grain transferred by the imperial court was continuously transported from Jiangning Mansion to Hangzhou, and after making a simple deal with the new Governor Yin, he led his army to Qingxi.
Tong Guan's grain was borrowed by Qin Hao for 10,000 stones, and the follow-up food supply was also carried out in an orderly manner.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first? Isn't that what the books of war say?
Therefore, He Zhen took it for granted that his troops should go ahead, and Qin Hao's mood was too lazy to worry about him.
"Brother, you said that this surnamed He is walking in front with so much grain and grass, and his army is so loose, isn't he afraid that Fang La's people will rob him?" Huzi carried the drum urn and the golden hammer, and suddenly asked.
Since he went to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion and fought with Fang La's army several times, everyone knew that Fang La's biggest problem was neither a shortage of manpower nor insufficient training, but the biggest problem he faced was a lack of food.
This is a question that even Huzi understands, it is impossible for this He Zhen not to understand, he rushed ahead of Qin Hao, and his purpose seemed to be only one, that is, to hinder Qin Hao's march.
The army is a collective glory, although the western army is full of factions, but this time Jiangnan counterinsurgency, they are a whole, a three-way army, starting from Jiangning, Qin Hao's army is the least of the three.
At that time, Tong Guan was also worried that his army would die before he could leave the division, and he would not be able to explain to the official family at that time, so he specially asked Ma Kuo to accompany him with two thousand elites.
Even so, in their expectations, Qin Hao's 5,000 soldiers and horses would not be said to go to Hangzhou to join the army, and the Dusong Pass alone would make him stop, but they didn't expect that Qin Hao not only broke through the Dusong Pass, but also the first army to rush into Hangzhou City.
This face was embarrassing, although Tong Guan didn't say anything, but the generals under him were always a little unbearable, especially Yao Pingzhong, who thought that he was brave and brave, and he was not inferior to Yang Keshi.
But I didn't expect that under the city of Hangzhou, the three of them joined forces, and they couldn't beat a Fang Qifo, this face was not a little big, but very big, so in the next counterinsurgency, how could it be possible to give the credit that was about to be given to this later Qin Hao?
And this He Zhen, although he is not Yao Pingzhong's person, is Yao Pingzhong's friend, and he also doesn't want Qin Hao to rob Qin Hao of the credit later, so it is in his plan to stop his march.
