He Renlong and Zu Dale, who were stationed in Dalinghe City, met Lu and saw trouble.

Although Su Tiancheng put it forward, he demanded that Dalinghe City must be a place where businessmen gathered, but this requirement could not be done in a short period of time, and Su Tiancheng did not force it, and proposed to slowly build Dalinghe City through one to two years.

Dalinghe City is at the forefront of the Guanning Jin defense line, surrounded by strongholds and fortresses, these fortresses and strongholds, after the Ming army attacked Dalinghe City, the Houjin soldiers stationed in it, all withdrew, the fortress and stronghold were completely destroyed, and they are still in the process of repairing, but this work, Su Tiancheng did not particularly emphasize, so the speed of progress is not very fast, He Renlong and Zu Dale officially began to be responsible for garrisoning Dalinghe City, and accelerated the speed of repairing the fortress and strongholds, A comprehensive defense network is gradually taking shape around a five-kilometer radius of Dalinghe City.

When the Houjin Tartars occupied Dalinghe City, from Dalinghe City to Shenyang more than 400 miles away, there were a lot of Ming people who were looted from the Guannei, these people mainly farmed here, and the harvested grain was all handed over, they had no treatment, they didn't have enough to eat every day, and they didn't have a decent place to live, and the identity of the slaves was exactly the same, and there were Houjin Tartars monitoring them along the way, although this kind of care was not very strict, but these ordinary people had long been frightened by the cruelty of the Houjin Tartars, They didn't dare to resist at all, and the weakness of the Ming army couldn't protect them, so these people gradually became a special existence, and these people looted after the Houjin. Forced to shave his hair. It looks similar to the Houjin Tartars, but they are servants of the government, with no freedom and no identity.

There used to be bold people who tried to escape here, but their hair was shaved. In the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, they are the people who are called Liao dogs, and this kind of people return to the Ming Dynasty, and the ending is very tragic, and they are spurned by everyone, unless they can directly find their families, hide at home, and wait for their hair to grow.

The changes that appeared in Dalinghe City were too fast, and many people close to Dalinghe City were close to them. Such a change was not expected at all, and over time, such a change quickly manifested itself in them.

The speed at which Dalinghe City was captured was too fast, and when the Houjin soldiers withdrew, they didn't think about the fate of these looted Ming people at all, even if they thought of it, they wouldn't care, and it would be good if they didn't kill it completely.

Because of the loss of Dalinghe City. Sergeant Houjin was temporarily stationed in Montenegro, which was nearly a hundred miles away from Dalinghe City, and the distance from Dalinghe City to Montenegro was the distance. Temporarily became a vacuum.

Herein lies the problem.

The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion did not take any means against these ordinary people who had shaved their hair, and basically did not manage their finances, judging from the language spoken by these people, the soldiers also knew that these people were the common people looted from the customs by the Houjin Tartars. But they didn't get the orders from above, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so they could only ignore it for the time being.

Sergeant Houjin received an order to strictly guard Montenegro and not to attack. Improve the defense facilities of Montenegro, in view of this situation, these soldiers captured a lot of people, began to build a large-scale city, trying to build Montenegro into another Dalinghe city, for a time the people here suffered, every day to bear heavy labor, can not be able to eat a full stomach, in this green season, tired and tortured by illness to death, a large number of people.

The people who were robbed by the Houjin Tartars still have some connections with each other, after all, among them, many people were robbed from a place, and they are still familiar with each other, and the measures of the Houjin Tartars in Montenegro greatly stimulated these people, and many people began to flee from Montenegro and enter the middle of Dalinghe City and Montenegro.

The number of people increased to a certain extent, and the problem arose, these people had no food, and the crops, bark, grass, roots, and leaves that had not yet grown in the field became food, but unfortunately there were not many of these things, and they could not last long, and there was no food, and after there was nothing to eat, the tragic situation began to appear, and some people who starved to death were also cut off the flesh on their thighs, and by the middle of June, some hungry people who could not stand it began to come to the strongholds and fortresses on the outskirts of Dalinghe City in groups, Piles of people knelt outside the strongholds and fortresses, after all, they were the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they still thought of being able to get help from the Ming army.

The situation was quickly fed back to He Renlong and Zu Dale.

In the face of such a situation, the two of them didn't know how to deal with it, but after following Su Tiancheng for so long, He Renlong knew Su Tiancheng's temper, so he arranged for the sergeants to start setting up porridge fields outside the fortress and stronghold, and they couldn't watch these people starve to death, even if these people were full.

After the establishment of the porridge city, a larger crowd arrived, and by June 20, He Renlong had received a report, and the number of civilians surrounding the fortress and stronghold exceeded 20,000.

He Renlong and Zu Dale knew that the problem was out, and it was not possible to rely on Dalinghe City to feed these people, but this is a real problem, and it must be dealt with, and a proper way must be thought of to deal with it, otherwise it is very likely that something will happen, and people who are extremely hungry will do everything.

Although there is still a lot of grain in Dalinghe City, these grains are mainly to meet the needs of the garrison, if they are all given to these people, what will the sergeants eat, the most annoying thing is that if the Houjin Tartars suddenly attack Dalinghe City, when the sergeants are stationed in Dalinghe City, there is no food, it will be a catastrophe.

Dalinghe City, the general military mansion.

He Renlong frowned and walked around the room, Zu Dale sat on the side, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what to say, there was information from scouts on the table, as well as the situation reported by various strongholds and fortresses.

"Ancestor, tell me, what should I do about this situation."

He Renlong and Zu Dale have the same temper, the relationship between the two quickly became harmonious, and the usual cooperation is also very good, sometimes, when they encounter things that need to be decided, when the two disagree, there will be arguments, but there is nothing to do afterwards, known as a madman, in fact, the character is straightforward.

"My lord, I don't know how to deal with this matter, otherwise I would like to ask Lord Su."

"Alas, I've thought about it a long time ago, I must have asked for instructions, but you don't know the temper of Lord Su Daosu, I have been in Jiangning Camp for so many years, and when I encountered problems before, I was waiting for the top to make a decision, we are the big bosses, just do it, fight at the forefront, don't care what to do, but then it doesn't work, the adults ask us all to think, when we encounter problems, we can't solve them, you can ask for instructions, but you have to propose a solution, what is this called independent thinking, We can't hand in all the problems, and if we ask for instructions directly and don't come up with a solution, the adults will reprimand them again. ”

"I really can't think of a solution."

He Renlong scratched his scalp, a little helpless.

"Ancestor, you also know that the Lord asked our brothers to be in charge of Dalinghe City, the meaning is very clear, all the problems that arise here, we have to solve them independently, for example, after the Golden Tartars come to attack, we must lead the sergeants to firmly defend the city, I can't imagine that now I have such a problem, 20,000 people, I didn't expect it, how can there be so many people, seeing them all starving to death, it will definitely not work."

Zu Dale's understanding was originally a little different, he thought that these people were all Liao dogs, not worthy of sympathy, when they were robbed to Liaodong, it was bad luck, understandable, but after so many years, these people have shaved their heads, belong to the slaves of the Manchus, and even some people, joined the Han army, aiding the abuse, and now when they encounter problems, they should go to their masters, not find this side.

However, He Renlong's words still persuaded Zu Dale, Jiangning Camp has always had an understanding, even if it is a Manchurian common people, when encountering such a situation, they can't ignore it, when they were exterminating the Liukou, Su Tiancheng's opinion has always been to severely punish the first evil, and never tolerate it, but for ordinary soldiers, they can't be wiped out, no matter what the purpose of the people join the Liukou's team, so when treating these people, He Renlong thought of not being able to watch them starve to death.

"My lord, I really can't think of a good way, if there was a way, I would have proposed it in the first place."

He Ren's longan beads turned.

"Ancestor, I think so, you go to Ningyuan, go to the Governor's Mansion, find the adult to report, you must explain the situation here in detail, it doesn't matter if you can't make a suggestion."

Zu Dale was just about to agree, but suddenly thought of what He Renlong said earlier, he didn't think of this method, so he went to report it, isn't it the practice of handing over the problem.

"My lord, this, if Lord Su asks me what I can do, what should I say."

A smile appeared on He Renlong's face.

"Ancestor, don't worry about this, I promise, when you go to report to the adult, the adult will never ask, if I go to report, the adult will definitely ask if there is a solution."

Zu Dale lowered his head and thought about it, and agreed.

When Zu Dale set off, He Renlong repeatedly emphasized that this matter must be resolved quickly, otherwise the food in Dalinghe City will be consumed a lot, and feeding 20,000 people is not a small matter, not to mention that the number of people may increase.

Of course, Zu Dale knew the seriousness of the matter, and without hesitation, he promised to come down, saying that within one day, he would rush to Ningyuan City and find Master Su to report the situation here. (To be continued......)
