Chapter 21 The Walls Are Clear

The county guard ordered the counties to move their households, grain and garrisons to the county seat and the nearby mountains. Lord Taishou's wording was harsh, and the county orders did not dare to slack off. All the officials and garrisons in the counties got up overnight and quickly loaded the grain stored in the granaries of the county town and transported them to the county seat.

Although the three counties of Lingju, Zhiyang, and Yongdeng belong to Guangwu County are not large, it is obviously unrealistic to move all the households in the three counties to the county seat. The three-county magistrate is already aware of this. As a result, it was initially decided that more than half of the households would soon move to the nearby mountains. The officials of the government went first to survey the terrain and find suitable places to live, and then the county garrisons helped them build shacks and shelter for the time being.

After dawn, the people in Lingju County still carried hoes and other farm tools, ready to work in the fields. However, as soon as I went out, I saw a bustle outside the door, and the government's cart was full of grain from the county warehouse and went out of the city. The county soldiers posted notices everywhere, and also ordered the people to quickly clean up their homes and prepare to move away. For a while, everyone was confused and confused.

"The county commander has an order, and the bald Xianbei tribe is in rebellion, and the army will come to the city soon. All the military households and civilian households in the city quickly packed up the soft grain at home and moved away. Military households moved to the county seats, and civilian households moved to the mountains. The government assisted. I don't want to leave a grain of food for the baldness! ”

When they heard the news, the people in the city were shocked. It didn't take long for the squires of their respective districts and fangs to come and shout, calling everyone to pack up their belongings and food. All people woke up like a dream.

The people began to stir up. Many women and old people yelled that they would not move. Resist orders from the government.

Yang Mengyun's family, who moved from Chencang to Liangzhou, was also among them. Witnessing the tragic situation in his hometown, Yang Mengyun and his parents came to Liangzhou in exile, and they were already full of yearning for a stable life. After arriving in Liangzhou, the government distributed rations and allocated fields to their families. Parents work day and night, and Yang Mengyun, who is only 11 years old, is also sensible. When her parents went out to work, she took care of her younger brother at home, and when the meal was ready, she carried her brother on her back to deliver it to her parents, who were working in the fields. The family's face has been swept away from the previous haze, and they have gradually had a happy smile and an infinite hope for a better life in the future.

However, at this time, the government issued an order for them to move away, from the home they regarded as their lives. But how can they accept it? Under the riots, there was gradually a lot of excitement. A few young men who had found sticks from nowhere rushed out of the crowd in a rage, and struck at the squires of the shops who had ordered them to leave. For a while, those squires were embarrassed.

Seeing this situation, Yang Mengyun was anxious, and hurriedly left her parents' side, and she squeezed out between the cracks with great difficulty, hugged the thigh of a young man with a stick, and cried: "Uncle and uncle, stop fighting, let them stop." ”

The young man looked back and said, "Where did you get the girl?" Just as he was about to break Yang Mengyun's hand and continue to move forward, he heard a loud shout from the gate of the fang market outside the battle group: "Stop!" ”

A large number of soldiers have surrounded the gate of Fang City. At this time, a middle-aged man in a green robe separated from the soldiers and stood under the door with his hands in his hands. As soon as they saw this person, the noisy people suddenly fell silent, and after a while, a large number of people knelt down in the middle of the square.

"Kneel and beg Lord Qingtian to be the master of the people, I don't want to move out of my home, and I hope that Lord Qingtian will be fulfilled!" In front of the crowd, an old man trembled and bowed to the green-robed middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man in the green robe is Song Wei, the county commander of Lingju. Song Wei is an honest and honest official, and has always enjoyed high prestige among the local people.

Song Wei closed his eyes, sighed softly, and then opened his eyes and said to the dense crowd of people kneeling in the street: "You people don't want to leave their homes and leave their hometowns, how can this official be willing to let you suffer from displacement?" ”

When the people heard the words of the county order, they all thought that the matter of relocation was stopped, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"However, the situation is now compelling. This official has to endure the pain to let the people under his rule temporarily leave their hometowns and be displaced, which is really a dereliction of duty by this official! Ladies and gentlemen, this official is guilty! ”

When the people heard the words of the county magistrate, they knew that the relocation was inevitable, and everyone's hearts had sunk deep into the valley.

"On the seventh day of the eighth month, the Xianbei bald army launched a rebellion on the bank of Huangshui, and had already captured Linqiang County, a subordinate of Xiping County, and plundered in all directions. After hearing the report, in order to prevent the people under my rule from being affected by the army, their homes were destroyed, and the tragedy of their relatives being killed was not staged in our Guangwu County, he ordered me and other organizations to evacuate. It's out of love for everyone. Getting everyone to migrate is only temporary. The prince of the prefecture has gathered a large army of the three counties and the county town, and is about to launch a thunderous blow against the bald tribe that launched the rebellion. Please believe that in the near future, when the Emperor of the Mansion defeats the traitors, this official will personally lead the people back to their homes! ”

The county order spoke from the bottom of his heart, and after the people below heard it, they all talked about it.

"Folks, the county gentleman has said so, what am I waiting for? Does it have to be the tragedy of Linqiang to be staged in my Lingju that everyone will regret not listening to the words of the county monarch? The old man, who came to his senses, stood up and shouted at the people kneeling behind him.

Soon after, the people rose up. The young men who had beaten the squires with sticks before were very worried in their hearts, and they all stepped forward to ask the squires and the county order for their guilt. The county order was lenient and said that it would not be investigated, and all the talents dispersed one after another, each went home to pack up the soft grain, and prepared to take refuge in the mountains under the organization of the county king.

"Dad, mother, we will come back soon, the county commander has said it." Yang Mengyun stretched out her little hand to help her mother wipe the tears on her face. "The county gentleman has said that we will come back, don't be sad."

The woman caressed Yang Mengyun's little head lovingly: "Mother is not sad, good Yun'er, we will come back, this is our home, we still have to come back after all." ”

With softness, food, and infinite attachment to their homeland, the people of Lingju, Zhiyang, and Yongdeng counties moved to the resettlement places that had been arranged by the government in the mountains, and the military families moved to the county seat with their families.

Although this large-scale relocation of the people was resisted and rioted by many people who did not know the situation at the beginning, the people of the three counties moved their families to their new resettlement places under the county decrees or Huairou or high-pressure means. More than 3,200 county officials and county soldiers gathered in the county under the leadership of their respective 1,000-person governors and county commanders.

Taishou Xinpin gathered all the food under the administration. They were all transported to the county town and hoarded in the official warehouse. The Instrument Department of the County Office also summoned almost all the craftsmen under the rule of the County Office to prepare equipment for the upcoming defense of the city.

The horses and cavalry of the various armies have gathered under the tent of Ma Ping, the cavalry commander of the Guangwu Army, and Taishou has gathered almost all the cavalry that can be assembled according to Li Yanzhao's words. These people are about to become a nightmare for the Bald Rebels and their leader Bald Hair to be lonely in the future attack and defense.
