Li Yu walked out of the door, Ortai, Li Fugui and Li Huai glanced at each other and followed out, everyone was stunned for a while, and immediately realized that the big guy was not there, and it was an opportunity to quarrel.

Wang Fang first stood up and shouted: "The Civic Party supports Ma Daren's proposal, and the evil government of the Ming State has made the rich even strange, and the poor have no place to stand. ”

"The Liberal Party is resolutely opposed, without the support of the Shanxi gentry, how can Fengzhou have today, and can it solve the problem? Land can be grabbed, but where will the seeds, farm tools, and rations come from? Wang Fang, do you want to learn to rob the rogues? Shen Shoulian pointed at Wang Fang and shouted-the two of them quarreled in the council for three days, and one of them spoke. The other is definitely the opposite.

"That's it, can grabbing solve the problem? Yang Tingfang's group of Datong gentry are our own people, you are not as good as attacking your own people, this matter is still a matter of the court in the final analysis, the emperor should worry about it, right? Lord Governor. Of course, Sun Tingyao has to speak for his party comrades, and by the way, he will push the matter on Liu Zhilun.

"What are you mentioning now, there are people dying every day under the side wall, I know that you are speaking for your kind, the old man is out of the way, that is, he wants to send troops to the Guannei, take back the Weisuo Tian in the hands of Haoqiang to settle the people, kill the head, and copy the house." Liu Zhilun was furious, pointing at Du Wenhuan, Shen Shoulian, Sun Tingyao and others and yelling, "You have long wanted to plot against Shanxi, just kill me and rebel." ”

"The governor Hugh wants to frame good people, Wenchen can't manage Shanxi, we take care of them for them, this is to share the worries of the court, how can it be considered a rebellion? Even if the troops are dispatched, they are on the side of the Qing monarch. Du Wenhuan is still quibbling.

Zhao Sheng, the governor of the Treasury Envoy Division, hurriedly covered his pocket and shouted: "Let me say a ugly thing first, the immigrants and the preparations for the westward expansion have almost used the little belongings saved last year, and you can raise money by yourself for disaster relief and wars, don't fight the idea of the big treasury." ”

The officials in the hall were divided into two factions, one faction advocated the collection of Datongwei land to settle the displaced people, and increased the commercial tax to raise the money and grain needed, and the other faction advocated cooperating with the gentry to take over Shanxi, otherwise a big man would not pay, and the two sides quarreled, and I don't know how long later, Li Yu finally returned to the lobby.

"Enough of the noise, now it's time for me to say, the westward expansion plan is temporarily canceled, the cavalry left association and the infantry right association will immediately enter Datong, anyone who sees the barren land will be circled for me first, and those who dare to block it will be beaten with whips, and those who are armed against it will be killed," Li Yu announced the order loudly, and then said to Li Jianji and others, "Go and tell Yang Tingfang that I will never take them for nothing, and the land in Baoketu and Hetao is up to them, and I will return it double." You want to be the home of Fengzhou, this is very good, give you this opportunity, I will go to the border wall now to bring the displaced people out of the customs, when the displaced people are settled, when I will come back, you will stay in the naturalization and think of a way to raise money, everyone is a person in the same boat, and no one can run away if the boat sinks. ”

Li Yu glanced at the crowd and continued to say loudly: "Immediately inform the whole of Fengzhou of this matter, and now it is a critical moment, the Great Commander's Mansion will never follow the violent old road of the Ming Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, 'Freedom, equality, and benevolence' is the only path we can choose, but this requires the support of all Fengzhou people." ”

After Li Yu finished speaking, he dragged Wang Fang and left, Li Fugui immediately claimed that he was going to inspect the western Xingtai, pulled Yunrong and patted his ass and left, and Li Huai also took Ge Kuri to Duoluno to meet the Chang Shu who fled from the Jin Kingdom, leaving a smiling Ortai, the officials looked at each other for a while, and then dispersed in a hurry, Li Jianji felt his scalp tingle as soon as he had the power in his hand, glanced at Sun Tingyao and Shen Shoulian, and walked away together.

At dawn the next day, Li Yu rushed to the Fengzhou military camp near the border wall under the escort of the Flying Tiger Battalion, dismounted and asked a few brief questions to the officials of Xuandewei and Dongsheng Zuowei, grabbed two nests from the hot pot casually, and walked out while eating, and a large group of officials immediately followed him to the mound outside the camp.

The side wall in the distance is densely populated with flags and crowds, obviously additional soldiers are sent to guard, and Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, is also trying his best to at least control the side wall, but Fengzhou demolished the side wall of the victory mouth and the tiger mouth for dozens of miles, and also paved the road, so he had no choice but to let the displaced people enter and exit.

In front of them are the people who are praying for a way out, men, women, and children are crowded in front of the camp in the dark, and there is no edge in sight, and the sound of crying comes from time to time in the wind, there are almost 100,000 people, you can't hesitate any longer, otherwise something will happen sooner or later - Li Yu sighed and put down his clairvoyance, staring ahead and falling into contemplation.

Xuan Dewei commanded Gu Keli to introduce the situation in a low voice: In the first month of this year, there were displaced people out of the customs, and the number of people at that time was small, and no one took it seriously. After entering February, the situation changed abruptly, and the displaced people kept coming like a tide, breaking into the village to ask for food, stealing and robbing when they were very hungry, and making a mess along the border wall, and the spring ploughing could not be carried out normally, which angered the locals, and drove people away with knives, spears, bows and arrows, and the displaced people who had no way to retreat naturally refused to go, so the two sides continued to friction. After Han Dagong came, he made things even worse, and the inspection caught the homeless people who stole and robbed and beat them, which further intensified the contradictions, and the homeless people also ganged up to fight in order to survive, and they had to go to the hinterland of Fengzhou, and bloody conflicts inevitably occurred. The garrison of the guard station tried their best to suppress it, but they did not dare to use force to hurt people without authorization, and they were rushed by the displaced people, but they retreated step by step, and finally controlled the situation by setting fire and throwing thunder to scare people.

"We are also afraid of the dead, give them two meals a day to drink, and dare not add salt, this is not a way, we can't afford to raise so many people, the garrison of the two guards is ready, just wait for the commander to say a word." Uerden said on the side.

"I've been a homeless person, people are hungry and just want to find something to eat, and they can't take care of anything else, there will definitely be chaos after a long time, and more people will die at that time, so the commander should make up his mind as soon as possible." Li Wanqing lowered his head and whispered - Xiao Sigui was transferred to the western stage, and he was a little scared when he encountered such a big incident as soon as he took over the Xuande guard.

Guo Xiu, the deputy garrison of Xuandewei, is a native of Bansheng Han, who has worked in the Flying Tiger Battalion's personal guard post, and is more familiar with Li Yu, so he patted his chest and said: "Great Commander, we have gathered three thousand cavalry, it is no problem to crush these rabble, as long as you give an order, we can drive everyone out, and we don't need the help of the battalion." ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Li Yu scolded, turned his face to Gu Keli and said, "Human life is at stake, to give the villagers a way to live, add salt to today's paste, make it thicker, and add more yam eggs." ”

Gu Keli nodded, and just opened his mouth to say something, Li Yu had already gone down the mound and walked towards the homeless, Mo Rige, Gao Heizi and a group of guards immediately followed, Wang Fang caught up with Li Yu and said, "Great Commander, I know what to do", and ran over first.

Li Yu walked into the middle of the homeless people, silently observing everything around him, it was messy, and there was a stench, the common people were yellow and thin, their expressions were numb, they shivered in the cold wind, and when they saw a large group of soldiers coming, they were so frightened that they quickly avoided and watched them from a distance. After Li Yu turned around a lot, he walked to a big pot and asked for a bowl of paste, and then squeezed a few old people to sit on the ground, drinking the paste with relish, and the people were a little overwhelmed and looked at him blankly.

"You, you're a big official, aren't you?" An old man asked boldly.

"Sort of, I'm the naturalized chief soldier," Li Yu continued to drink the paste, and when he looked up, he found that a large area had fallen down around him, he drank the paste in a few sips, put down the bowl and said, "Today's paste is quite full, and there are yam eggs in it, hurry up and drink it, maybe in a few days even the paste will be gone, and there will be more food shortage outside the customs than inside the customs." ”

"My lord, don't drive us away, if it weren't for the fact that the family really couldn't open the pot, we wouldn't dare to disturb you."

"My lord, there is no way to live in the pass, even if our old ones die, the dolls can serve you as soldiers, as long as you give you food."

"My lord, we still remember that your Black Eagle Army has entered Shanxi, and you have taken in so many villagers, so leave us behind, we are not afraid of hardship."

The common people thought they were going to drive them away, so they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously and begged.

Li Yu shook his head and said: "You are bitter, the people of Fengzhou are also bitter, the imperial court does not give food, we can only barely support ourselves, this bitter cold land can't support people, you can only starve to death together when you come, I want to help you, what can I do to help you?" ”

Yes, there is no way to survive inside the gate, how can you survive outside the gate? The common people cried in despair, no matter what Li Yu said, they couldn't afford to kneel - the common people were stupid by the government, Li Yu sighed and bowed his head and left.

Wang Fang came with a few people at this time, and excitedly told Li Yu that there were a few people in this group of homeless people who spoke effectively, and one of them was also lifted by people, and he brought all the people with him, maybe it could come in handy - the White Lotus Sect is very influential among the people in the north, as long as there is a civil uprising, their people will participate in it, Wang Fang can also find accomplices when he smells the smell, and he will find out the situation of the homeless people in three times and two clicks, and find out the head of them, Li Yu immediately became interested and looked at those people.

"Dashuai, I really haven't been a thief! God can testify that it was the thief who forced me to do something with a knife. The fair-faced middle-aged man at the head saw Li Yu staring at him, thinking that he was going to turn over his old accounts, and fell to his knees in fright.

"You are a high-minded person, and you dare to break into the barbarian land outside the gate, so bold, please get up, it's none of my business to catch the thief," Li Yu smiled and waved his hand, seeing that this high-minded person couldn't live or die, he kicked over as soon as he turned his face and raised his feet, "Why do you people in the customs like to kneel and kowtow, stand up and talk to me!" ”

The man got up pitifully and begged: "Dashuai, I have been drinking your paste for the past few days, and my feet are fluttering, please give me a few dry bites to eat, and let me say anything." ”

Hold up a few mouthfuls and swallow the two nest heads, and then burp and say: "The big handsome said that this is the land of barbarians, no, the storytellers all say that you are a Shanxi person who lives outside the pass, and you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, which is better than Ma Fang of the Wanli Dynasty, where is the handsome, what is the land of China, what is the land of barbarians?" The common people came to join because they admired the prestige of the handsome. ”

"I don't need to talk about good things, I want to listen to the truth, the common people don't know the sinister outside the border, don't you know? You won't be able to afford to eat, say, what do you want? Li Yu asked sharply, and glanced at Wang Fang by the way - this guy changed the "Biography of Ma Fang" that circulated among the people of Shanxi to "The Biography of Ma Fang", added oil and vinegar to "The Biography of Li Yu", and instigated storytellers to preach everywhere, no wonder the common people ran outside the customs to join the "fellow villagers".

Gao Juren wiped a cold sweat and said - Gao He, the word is the source, Shanxi Fenzhou, the family has a small wealth and is young and promising, in his early thirties, he was admitted to the exam, and his future was bright, but unfortunately he was taken captive by thieves and became a copywriter. Of course, Gao Juren didn't want to be a thief, and after more than half a year in the thief's den, he finally found an opportunity to escape back to his hometown, but then he was arrested and imprisoned by the government on the grounds of a thief. This year's drought, other people's families have no food to eat, his family is also living tightly, I heard the people passing by say that there is no war outside the north of the pass, everyone has food, Li Dashuai who guards the gate outside the town is still from Shanxi, the most willing to take in fellow villagers, he has a small calculation in his heart, the fame is gone, stay in the pass and never come out, there are few scholars outside the pass, maybe the fellow villager Li Dashuai will promote him as an official, even if he gambles, he gritted his teeth and mixed into the flow of people going north.

"Dashuai, the grass people think that the displaced people are by no means a burden, but the foundation of farming and warfare, who has more population in the troubled times, who can achieve great things, do not raise people outside the customs but can raise people inside the customs, the handsome has the force to dominate the world, why not try to plot in the Guannei?" Gao He secretly glanced at Li Yu, and made up his mind to show some real talent, "The natural and man-made disasters in the customs continue to be more and more intense, which is in response to the great change of the sky, the land of Shanxi can overlook the Central Plains, retreat can guard the danger of Taihang and the Yellow River, the west can appease the Qin soldiers of the tiger and wolf in the northwest, and the east can be used to coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes, and the population is large enough to serve the envoys, the coal and iron rich reserves can be used for the tools, the marshal enters the customs and ascends to the heights, and the evil officials are eliminated, the people's hearts are gathered, the water conservancy is revitalized, the Qianmo is opened, the ploughing war is rewarded, and the injustice is not just, why worry about the failure of the big thing, and the grass people are not talented, Willing to serve the handsome dogs and horses. ”

"Mr. Gao's wonderful theory, this statement is comparable to Zhuge Kong Ming Longzhong," Wang Fang clapped his hands and praised, took out Zhang Ming's thorn from his arms and stuffed it into Gao He's hand, "Wang is not talented, the prime minister of the Civic Party is also party affairs, and today I have to meet Mr. I really hate to see each other late, and I respectfully ask Mr. Qu to join our party." ”

Gao He glanced at the famous thorn, smiled faintly and put it into his arms, he is also a person who has made a name for himself, he should have a higher pursuit, why join an inexplicable civic party.

"I don't have time to listen to your talk, Mr. Gao, I'm going to take the displaced people into the customs to reclaim the barren fields, where there is wasteland in Datong, you will camp there, while you still have time to sow seeds, hurry up and start working, rations, seeds and farm tools I will find a way," Li Yu waved his hand and said, I really don't understand what happened to the people in the Guannai? He pointed to Gao He and his group and said, "From now on, the displaced people will be organized into the Tuntian Army, and you will be the Tuntian officers, as long as you do things well for the villagers, Fengzhou will not be able to treat you badly." ”

"Dashuai, we are afraid, the landlord has come to ask for land, and the government has come to collect taxes, but we still have no way to live, who can afford to provoke them!" The homeless people who spoke well shook their heads and replied.

"I will send troops to protect you, and then give you some weapons for self-defense, whoever dares to collect land and taxes, you will fight me, I will carry it if something happens, you go back and explain the reason to the people, this place does not support people, and those who want to live will follow me into the customs and tuntian."

That night, the cavalry left association and the infantry right association hurriedly came from the barbarian mountain camp, and then under the leadership of Zhao Ji, they entered the pass from the victory pass and the tiger mouth, and then the deputy garrison of the left guard of Dongsheng Su Hai and the deputy garrison of Xuande Wei Guo Xiu took over the fort and killed the tiger's mouth fort - the Ming army guarding the fort was too lazy to care, and after putting the Fengzhou army into the fort, he went back to the barracks to sleep.

This night, Wang Fang, Gao He and a group of people jumped up and down to encourage the displaced people to enter the customs, and the common people were not stupid, there was land in the customs to plant, seeds, and farm tools were also taken for free, and they did not pay harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so who is willing to go out of the customs and suffer, just follow Li Dashuai into the customs. Gu Keli and Li Wanqing are not idle, they have the experience of Tuntian, and they organize the common people into hundreds of households and thousands of households according to their origins, select their own leaders, and then issue some spears and wooden sticks to Qingzhuang, even if the Tuntian army is formed, as long as they are sent into the customs, it will be a matter for the court to have trouble in the future.

At dawn, the common people had a rare full meal, and then turned around and went south to enter the customs, this time there was Li Dashuai's flying tiger flag in front of the way, they were no longer afraid of the government, straightened their waists and strode forward.

Li Yu immediately stood on the side of the road, watching this boundless flow of people, they were ragged and staggering, but their eyes were full of hope, even the women and children had laughter, and every team of people passing by excitedly shouted to him "Ma Fang", "Ma Fang" - the villagers regarded him as a hero of the Shanxi people, and the last hope was all pinned on him, they must let them live, they should not have died.

"Mr. Gao, why is your face swollen?" Li Yu turned his face and saw Gao He shrinking next to Wang Fang.

"It's okay, Mr. Gao fell last night." Wang Fang covered up a sentence, pulled Gao He and left-it is a talent to be used, not to mention a person who has made a name for himself, Wang Fang exerted a lot of prostitution last night, and pulled Gao He into the Civic Party with a fist and kick.

Wang Fang hid in the crowd, felt that it was time to show off his latest masterpiece, and shouted loudly: "Folks, knock on the bangzi, sing and go." ”

"People say that Shanxi has good scenery, fertile land and beautiful water, and fragrant grains;

The hateful Emperor Zhu came, and there were nine years of famine in ten years;

The government is ruthless, the rich are fierce, knocking out the bones and squeezing the marrow to harm the people and the poor;

God is not angry to change the sky, and sent the hero Li Hanmin;

He works for the good of the people, and he is the great savior of the people......"

Nearly 100,000 people sang in unison, and the songs reverberated inside and outside the Great Wall.
