Chapter 154: The Wave of Refugees and the Re-expansion of the Army
In the middle of the New Year, there has always been an atmosphere of joy in Yunhua County, and in Yunhua County, it is rare to see people with bitter faces.
Yun Yi originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were fewer things during the Chinese New Year, and planned to rest for a few more days to accompany Shangguan Yuling, but after the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yun Yi had to get busy and be busy for a very important matter.
Under the drought last year, there is not much grain left in the hands of the people, and the year has not passed, more people look at the bottom of the grain tank at home and worry, and those who have no food in their hands can only go out of the house in order to find a chance to live, and move forward to the place where they can get food, the city is an important target, but most of the cities are closed in the face of these displaced people, and do not let a displaced person mix into the city.
During the Chinese New Year, I don't know how many homeless people starved to death and froze to death while watching the closed city gates, and then their shriveled bodies were eaten by other hungry homeless people.
The singing and dancing in the city is leveling, and the hunger is everywhere outside the city; How the people outside the city wish they could eat a full meal, but the people of the city turned a blind eye to the affairs outside the city, and welcomed the New Year with joy, and even the merchants who hoarded food thanked God for giving them a good opportunity to make a fortune.
The world outside Yunhua County is like this, but Yunhua County is different, there are almost no people who are cold and hungry in Yunhua County.
"The front is Yunhua County, everyone hurry up, as long as we get to Yunhua County, we will never suffer again."
"When will I get to Yunhua County? I'm so hungry that I can't walk. ”
"Let's go, let's go, Yunhua County's granaries full of grain are everywhere, just take out some grain and it's enough for us to eat for a lifetime."
Many groups of displaced people walked slowly in the direction of Yunhua County, some of them had not eaten for several days, but as soon as they thought that they would be able to eat enough when they arrived in Yunhua County, they would raise a little strength and insist on walking in the direction of Yunhua County, as long as they arrived in Yunhua County, they would not be starved to death.
Before the New Year, more than 500 displaced people (refugees) entered Yunhua County every day, even in the Chinese New Year's Eve, there were still a large number of displaced people entering Yunhua County, under the order of Yunyi, Yunhua County allowed all displaced people to enter Yunhua County, and registered their identities, and then these displaced people were the common people under the Yun clan, according to incomplete statistics, before the New Year, the total population of Yunhua County had reached 270,000.
Six years ago, the total population of Yunhua County was just over 90,000, but six years later, it has reached 270,000, a full triple, which is simply a miracle.
However, after the first day of the Lunar New Year, more displaced people entered Yunhua County, and the number of displaced people entering Yunhua County every day exceeded 800, as if the displaced people from the entire Zezhou had fled to Yunhua County.
It is relatively normal for the people of the surrounding counties of Yunhua County to enter Yunhua County, which is also the reason for Yun's own propaganda, but now the displaced people who enter Yunhua County are the people of those counties that are not separated from Yunhua County.
Anyone can see that there is obviously a problem with so many displaced people who have traveled long distances to Yunhua County, as if someone is deliberately guiding, guiding a large number of disaster victims to Yunhua County, with extremely sinister intentions.
It is true that Yunhua County has a large amount of grain reserves, and it can also meet the needs of more than 300,000 people for one or two years, if more displaced people come to Yunhua County, it will be a big trouble for the Yun clan to accept these displaced people or not.
It's better to accept the displaced people, at least let the displaced people team be more orderly, and it will not affect the lives of the people in Yunhua County, but when the number of people increases, it will also cause a food crisis in Yunhua County, which is not a trivial matter.
Not to mention that the reputation of the Yun clan will have a certain impact, just the vast border of Yunhua County, the Yun clan is difficult to arrange enough manpower to prevent the displaced people from entering Yunhua County, once the displaced people enter Yunhua County, the hungry displaced people have no order at all, and the villages outside the city that do not have much strength to protect are easily attacked by these displaced people.
Yun Yi thought about it carefully, and issued an order to the following, no matter how many displaced people enter Yunhua County, they will be collected in full, and arrange a large number of oxen and carriages to go to the north of Yunhua County to pull people, and most of them will be pulled to Wanghai Town or Binhai Town, and then loaded and sent to Yingzhou, Yun's development requires a lot of manpower, not to mention that the fishery resources in the sea are endless, and it is good to go directly to the sea to fish if there is a lack of food, and hundreds of catties of sea fish can be pulled up with a net, which is enough for hundreds of people to need a day.
Then Yun Yi looked at the information sent back by Tianmu and Xunfeng from all over the country, and found that the Dali Empire was already like this, and there were disaster victims everywhere in the country, and the number of people was probably close to 10 million, you must know that the total population of the Dali Empire was less than 50 million, and one-fifth of the population became disaster victims, so you can imagine how much the situation has deteriorated, but those family clans have already piled up a mountain of food in their hands with their own force, and they don't care how many disaster victims appear, once the disaster victims hit the fortress of the family family, The clan will directly send private soldiers and warriors to expel and even slaughter the victims, and I don't know how many victims died at the hands of the clan.
In the eyes of the family, the value of the people at the bottom is far less than that of cattle and horses, and no matter how many people die, they will recover quickly in the future.
However, Yun Yi felt the severity of the matter in his heart, not to mention the number of victims, but the strength of the Bright Sect that did not know the depth, which made Yun Yi feel pressured, through this natural disaster, the number of Bright Sect believers increased greatly, and the Bright Sect was an ordinary religious organization, no one would believe that once the Bright Sect rebelled, the Great Li Empire would be in danger, and Yunhua County would also be in danger.
At present, there are three main armies in the hands of the Yun clan, namely the Yun Family Army, the Tiger Ben Army, and the Shenji Battalion, each of which has more than 3,000 people, totaling about 10,000 people.
If the war really breaks out, the Yun clan can still recruit a militia of about 5,000 people, these militias have undergone a certain amount of training, these militias are the reserves of the Yun family's army, and they will spare a month every year for military training, and they are busy farming in peacetime, and they can be quickly incorporated into the army in wartime.
Although the Yun clan had just gone through a round of army expansion a few months ago, the number of troops had almost doubled, but the combat effectiveness of the army had not increased much, but Yun Yi still planned to expand the army again, this time the army expanded, the Tiger Ben Army and the Shenji Battalion would be expanded to six thousand people, and a group of personnel would be selected from the homeless people, and a group would also be selected from the militia, and they would be mixed.
As for the Yun family army on the surface, it will not be expanded until wartime, and it will still maintain the scale of 3,000 people.
This will be the second expansion of the Yun Clan, and it will definitely not be the last, if possible, Yun Yi will continue to expand the army.
