Chapter 1257: Big Things and Little Things
Bian Wenhao stopped at the door of his house, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the door with a calm face, a soldier at the door had already rushed over to lead the war horse for him, and the guards who came back with Bian Wenhao entered the door from the corner door on one side, and Bian Wenhao strode towards the main gate.
He, the town guard general, was very tired.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers' families were not uniformly placed together, but scattered in different counties under Anyang County, and similarly, his 10,000 border troops were also stationed in each county. Far from each other.
From the beginning of the resettlement, the disputes between the military families and the local aborigines have never stopped, and from the very beginning of the demarcation of the area, the conflict has not stopped. After all, for those who came after them, the best land has long been owned, and all they can get is some corner wasteland, and there are naturally no roads and water sources.
These Qin family members are used to being poor, but they are not afraid of hard work, and even if there are some corner wastelands in Anyang, in their opinion, they are better than their original places, there is no road, they repair themselves, raw land, and they will become cooked land after planting for a year or two, but the first two years have been harder.
For these Qin people, on the whole, they are quite satisfied, even if they still live in thatched huts, living a life without food and clothing, but they are full of longing for the future.
But reality soon sobered them up, and being a stranger in a foreign land, life was far from going as smoothly as they imagined.
The people of Anyang are hostile to these Qin people. For more than 100 years, the two countries have vendetta against each other, the border army of Qin will be Anyang people as pigs, fattened to harvest a stubble, speaking of which there is no Anyang people who have not been poisoned by the border army of Qin, now it is good, these people have become lost dogs, and they actually entered the house, and entered their homes in a grand manner, to share their own things with themselves.
This is really unbearable!
Those wastelands, where they were originally lost, there were no people, and everyone looked at nothing, and they didn't think how precious they were, but now that these lands belong to the Qin people, the people of Anyang immediately felt that the loss was great.
And so the provocation began.
At first, the Qin people were still a little cringe, after all, they were on someone else's territory, and they were always not so at ease, and the Anyang people came to provoke, and they mostly retreated. But after a long time, the bandit energy in the bones of the Qin people was stimulated, and the conflict began.
It's really a fight, and the people of Anyang are really not opponents.
So other difficulties began, selling some goods to them in the market, as long as the Qin people came to buy things, they immediately added a few percent of the price, in short, it was best if you didn't buy it.
These things, the Qin people can still be patient, after all, in this era, basically most of the things can still be made at home, and there are not many things that really need to be bought, but the water source is not good.
Where there is water, it is naturally the best fertile field, these belong to the local people of Anyang, the place of the Qin people, either the mountain or the slope, where is the water for irrigation?
Then naturally the canal must be repaired, and after the canal is repaired, the water will naturally be diverted. When these are solved, the biggest problem comes, at the beginning of the year, the most critical need for water is only a few days, but at this time, it is the time when the water is the least, the Qin people want to release water, but the Anyang people must first satisfy themselves and then say, the Qin people are naturally afraid of missing their own farming time, which is related to the livelihood of the year.
Conflict is inevitable.
If in the past, conflicts over other things were just petty fights and small-scale brawls, but over the water source, they have developed into large-scale conflicts involving hundreds or thousands of people.
These days, Bian Wenhao is running around, basically dealing with these things, whether it is him or Zhu Yi, the county guard of Anyang, they are all heartbroken because of this. Bian Wenhao still respects Zhu Yi a lot, because this person can basically make a bowl of water even.
But for Bian Wenhao, this is really not the life he wants to live.
Now he is not only the commander of the 10,000 army, but also the great butler and nanny of the hundreds of thousands of Qin immigrants, and if anything is not handled well, it will be passed on to those soldiers who follow the marshal, and then it will be known by the marshal.
This time, I ran to several counties with Zhu Yilian, and finally calmed down the situation, this time it was in the past, but what about the next time, next year? Bian Wenhao felt that his days of suffering seemed to have really begun.
But he didn't complain, Bian Wushuang put him in this position, not to punish him, but to value him very much. Bian Wenhao knows the importance of his position, hundreds of thousands of soldiers' families are the root of these tens of thousands of elite soldiers, as long as they are stable, the army will be stable, the army will be stable, the Bian family will be as stable as Mount Tai, and there will be no worries. If something happens here, I'm afraid it will be a big event.
If you want to really gain a foothold here, gain a firm foothold, and have a good relationship with the locals, that is the way to go, even if you can't be like brothers, but you can't see each other as enemies, at least you have to coexist peacefully, but this can only be said to be something that will be planned slowly in the future. Now I need to help Qin Min get through the initial difficulties, and life will be better in the future, and many things will be much better.
He was extremely tired, and now he just wanted to go back and take a good bath, and then sleep him well in the dark.
"General." Behind him came the call of the guards guarding the door.
Bian Wenhao looked back a little unhappily, "What's the matter?"
"There is a person outside the door, saying that he is an old acquaintance of the general, and he wants to see the general, and he has important things to discuss with the general." The guard pointed out the door, and through the gap in the hidden door, Bian Wenhao saw an unfamiliar figure. I couldn't help frowning, I just entered the door, and this one came over, obviously I had been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for myself to come back.
I wanted the soldiers to drive the man away, but I was about to speak, but my heart moved, but I stopped, I dare to find the person from my door like this, I'm afraid it's not so simple.
"Did he say what was his name?" Bian Wenhao asked.
"He said that his name was Tian Kang, and as soon as he said his name, the general must know who he was!" The guard hurriedly said.
Tian Kang, as soon as these two words entered Bian Wenhao's ears, they exploded like a thunderbolt in the depths of his mind, this name, ordinary people really don't know much, let alone know who Tian Kang is, but how can Bian Wenhao not know what this person does?
Tian Kang, the deputy commander of the Ming Eagle's Nest, has no reputation, but he is really a high-powered figure, what did he do when he found himself?
"Invite him in." The exhaustion all over his body is completely gone, and Bian Wenhao only knows that there must be nothing good for a night owl like Tian Kang to enter the house.
The door was opened, Tian Kang was alone, Shi Shiran walked in, and looked around like an old friend, then looked at Bian Wenhao with a smile and said: "The general has arrived in Anyang, but it is much better than living in Qinghe, hahaha, Tian Kang came from Qinghe, and he came to congratulate the general."
Bian Wenhao grinned without smiling: "Brother Tian has worked hard from afar, please come to the house, talk in the house."
"Good, good!" Tian Kang smiled and put his hands behind his back and walked to the house first.
Bian Wenhao turned his head and looked at the somewhat confused guard and warned: "Shut up, someone has looked for me today, but it's not called Tian Kang, understand?"
"Yes, General." The guard hurriedly nodded.
Strode into the house, looking at Tian Kang who was sitting on the chair steadily, Bian Wenhao's pupils shrank, "Tian Kang, you should know that we are new to Chu now, and we can't be trusted by people yet, and there are many conflicts, at this time, people like you come to me, if you let the Chu people know, you can't say that you will be suspicious of us. Although Dashuai once told me that if I have contact with you, I will be polite to you and help if I can, but to be honest, I don't have a good impression of you at all. If it weren't for you, why would we leave our homeland and send people under the fence to suffer such fucking idleness!"
He unfastened the saber from his waist and threw it heavily on the table with a thud.
Tian Kang straightened his knife with a smile, "General Bian has been really tired enough these days, and we know this, but compared to the things I want to come to you, I'm afraid that those things about you are all trivial things, and they are not worth mentioning at all."
"What's the big deal?" Bian Wenhao said coldly: "Now for me, it is the biggest thing for me to let these hundreds of thousands of military dependents live in peace, stand here steadily, and live a good life. Nothing else."
Tian Kang nodded: "We have captured Yongdu City, Ma Yue also died at the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, tens of thousands of Thunder Army killed half of the battle, half surrendered, more than 100,000 young people in the city, except for those who did not die, also surrendered."
Bian Wenhao's body shook slightly, "So fast?" He raised his head to the sky and muttered, "But what does this have to do with me?"
"I came to you, and naturally it was related." Tian Kang said lightly: "Because Ma Chao escaped, with five thousand thunder troops, fled from Yongdu, now we have determined that he has entered the Luoying Mountains, and his destination is the Chu State, to put it a little smaller, it is Anyang County. General Bian, do you know what that means?"
Bian Wenhao's whole person seemed to freeze there all of a sudden, his eyes widened, "You said that Ma Chao escaped, and his target was Anyang?" Why is he here? What does he want to do?"
"Very simple thing." Tian Kang said: "Ma and Min Ruoying have reached some kind of agreement, and Ma Chao came to Anyang to deal with you. Do you know what that means? So I said, compared to this thing, are all the things you've been busy with now?"
