Chapter 483: Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival (14)
"Do you want to take the opportunity to have a big celebration to prove that you have enough food to feed everyone? Use this to calm people's hearts? The original dim sum understood what Gao Yang meant in an instant.
Gao Yang was slightly stunned, stretched out his hand and touched his nose, and whispered in some surprise, "You have become smarter." A simple sentence made the origin of the original mood, who was in a good mood, instantly become angry.
That night, the moon hung high and the stars were dotted. Under the clear night sky, Yingzhou City is brightly lit and full of hustle and bustle.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in a large area centered on Yingzhou City, and rows of torches and oil lamps were lit everywhere, reflecting the entire land with light.
Those homeless people who ran out of the mountains to beg for food for their lives never thought that Yingzhou City would be so good here, and even so good that they couldn't believe it.
Before coming here, many people were ready to sell their children. If you want to survive in the world of natural and man-made disasters, there is no way to do it.
No one could have imagined that after a simple inquiry and written registration in Yingzhou City, all the displaced people were basically resettled.
There are three meals a day, porridge is all-you-can-drink, and steamed buns are three a day. It's not that I'm reluctant to give up those white-flour steamed buns, but that everything needs to be controlled in a good amount.
You can eat well, sleep in a safe camp at night, surrounded by victorious armies that have defeated the Jurchens who look like wild beasts! No more worrying about beasts and bandits when you sleep at night.
A sense of security and a return to order. This is what people who have experienced endless chaos look forward to the most.
Gao Yang gave them what they hoped for, and did even better than they hoped for. Like tonight, a big banquet is taking place.
Although I don't know what the senior general is celebrating, I look at the wooden table full of long rows, on which are placed large white steamed buns that have just come out of the pot. And then there's the cauldron with the enticing aroma of the meat that rolls in the oily soup. Everyone couldn't help but swallow their spit.
God, how long has it been since I've seen oil and water? Since the golden dogs went south, the days that could have made ends meet have come to an end.
In the past, it was already a blessing to be able to escape with his life. Where else can I eat oil and water? The beasts in the mountains are more shrewd than the other, and if they are not old hunters, they don't want to catch them at all. And in the mountains, there are not only beasts that can be eaten by humans, but also beasts that can eat people!
Danger, horror, despair. The unbearable things of the past seem to have all been thrown out of the sky at this moment. At this moment, in everyone's eyes, all that is left is the churning pieces of meat in the big pot of soup!
After gathering with the generals in the military camp outside the city and having a good drink, Gao Yang did not stay long, and returned to the government office in the city after explaining a few words.
"There are too many people, and the order is still a little chaotic." Gao Yang took the decanting soup handed by Yelu Yu Liyan, drank it in one gulp and burped. Frowning slightly, he said.
"What does Gao Lang want to do? Is it to dismiss a group or" Yelu Yu Liyan looked at Gao Yang with a worried expression. There are so many displaced people outside Yingzhou City, and there are so many mouths, and the daily food consumption is a huge number.
She didn't know the secret that Gao Yang was able to get a large amount of supplies in another time and space, but she simply looked at the account book and knew that the surplus food stock of the entire Changsheng Army was not even enough for so many people to eat for three days.
As for the well-guarded camp with grain and straw, even she could not enter. I just knew that a sufficient amount of grain would be pulled out of that big camp every day. But there are always only three days' worth on the ledger!
Such a huge consumption and almost no reserves made Yelu Yu Liyan tremble. She didn't know when the heavy camp would not be able to pull out the grain.
I am afraid that I don't know when the food will run out, which will cause the irrepressible panic of those who are like lambs outside the city who are deferential at the moment.
Most of the time, the homeless people who show themselves as submissive and promise can only accept bullying on weekdays. However, when a sufficient number of displaced people are stirred, they are enough to cause a terrifying and destructive force like a tsunami!
Yelu Yu Liyan had seen it with his own eyes in Yanjing City! Those round, blood-red eyes, screaming frantically in meaningless voices, holding all sorts of strange things in their hands. The wanderers who run wildly will destroy everything they encounter in their path.
Even in the face of the army's sharp steel knives, there is no fear at all. That kind of scene is really terrifying.
It's just that Gao Yang has always been calm and light, and he doesn't care. Yelu Yu Liyan also mentioned it vaguely, but Gao Yang didn't care about it and didn't explain it to her. Yelu Yu Liyan didn't say much.
After all, Gao Yang is in charge of the Chang Shengjun. And Yelu Yu Liyan's identity is more embarrassing. The vast majority of people here are Han Chinese. And she is a princess of Liao!
Although now everyone has the same enemy, the Jurchens. However, it is only in recent years that the Jurchens have become enemies of the Song State. And the Liao State and the Song State have been entangled for more than a hundred years!
When the Song State was just founded, the Liao and Song Kingdoms were completely enemies of life and death. There was a series of wars between the two countries. Countless sergeants and civilians were smeared with liver and brains. The whole land was bloody.
Although in the end, the two countries reached an armistice. But that bloody and deep hatred of the past will not be forgotten lightly.
Stick to your duty and don't do things you can't or shouldn't do. This is the rule that Yelu Yu Liyan set for himself. She was a smart and intelligent woman.
The Victorious Army was massively reorganized. The size of the army expanded rapidly, and most of the sergeants and generals were rewarded with promotions. Only the death battalion led by Yelu Yu Liyan composed of foreign soldiers was still a death camp.
No one was promoted or rewarded, and there was no opportunity to plunder in battle. This is almost unthinkable for nomads.
However, Yelu Yu Liyan knew that none of the people under him dared to have any bad intentions. These lucky people who escaped by luck under the knife of the Chang Shengjun have already been killed by the Chang Shengjun and Gao Yang!
I don't know what will happen to them in the future, but as long as Gao Yang and Chang Shengjun are in one day, these descending troops who are all missing a finger will definitely not dare to have two hearts!
Gao Yang leaned back on the chair with a lazy expression and crossed his legs on the table. His face, which was red because of the drink, was calm.
Stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the table, and said in a deep voice, "There are so many people, Yingzhou City can't fit it anymore." It is necessary to speed up the training of the armed forces and do their best to build up combat effectiveness. I need to expand my territory, and I can't always guard this small Yingzhou City. ”
Yelu Yu Liyan slowly walked behind Gao Yang, stretched out his hands and gently kneaded his shoulders, and asked softly, "Which way?" ”
Gao Yang hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Where else could it be?" Of course, it's Yunzhou City in the north. I can't go south to attack Song, can I? That would make me lose the hearts of the people. ”
"Yunzhou." Yelu Yu Liyan frowned slightly, and a gloomy color flashed in his eyes. remembered the past when Wanyan Zonghan burned, killed and looted in the Liao Kingdom in the past. Biting his lip lightly, his hands unconsciously increased his strength.
Gao Yang's eyes moved lightly, and he instantly understood her mind in his heart. said softly, "I won't let go of Yan Zonghan." If he dies in battle, it will be forgotten, and if he is captured alive, then it will be left to you to deal with. ”
Yelu Yu Liyan's shoulders trembled slightly, he bit his lip tightly, the water rippled in his eyes, and his voice trembled softly, "Thank you Gao Lang." ”
Gao Yang smiled, reached out and patted the hand she put on his shoulder, and said, "Don't thank me." I'm your man, and helping you get revenge is what you should do. ”
"Gao Lang." Yelu Yu Liyan was moved in his heart, leaned down and hugged Gao Yang, his nose was sore, and he said with a crying voice, "Those golden dogs are all beasts!" Our Yelu family has an enmity with them! ”
Gao Yang sighed slightly in his heart. In troubled times, the fate of women who have lost power, especially women with status, is very tragic. Not only the Yelu family, but also the fate of those emperors and princesses of Song Huizong in the south of history was also tragic and desolate.
Since Gao Yang has come to this time and space, he must not allow this kind of thing to happen! Not only to stop, but also to take revenge on those Jurchens who have no humanity at all!
Just when the two people in the study were immersed in a sad atmosphere, Fang Mingjing's slightly hurried voice came from outside the door, "Lord!" The night patrol sergeants have captured several Assassins! ”
"Huh?" Gao Yang was stunned. Assassin? In Gao Yang's mind, this kind of mysterious person who should only exist in martial arts novels actually appeared around him?
"Come in and talk." Gao Yang's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Fang Mingjing replied loudly. Immediately pushed open the door and walked in.
Yelu Yu Liyan stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and quietly stood sideways beside Gao Yang.
Fang Mingjing walked in, bowed his head slightly, bowed a few steps forward, and said in a deep voice, "Just now, a few assassins sneaked into the city at the time of the feast, and were discovered by the night patrol sergeant when they touched the mansion. After a fight, three people were killed on the spot and two were captured alive. At this moment, he has been escorted to the prison. ”
Fang Mingjing kept his head down when he spoke, his eyes fixed on the surface of his feet, and he didn't mean to look at Yelu Yu Liyan at all.
Although we have met before, we have also said hello and spoke. However, Yelu Yu Liyan is a woman from Gaoyang! Almost everyone in the victorious army knows this. Fang Mingjing didn't dare to make trouble for himself in front of Gao Yang.
Gao Yang didn't notice his little caution. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, groaning slightly, with a thoughtful expression. After a while, he asked aloud, "Who sent it?" Jurchens? ”
Gao Yang wasn't sure if it was someone sent by Wanyan Zonghan. After all, during this period of time, a large number of displaced people from all directions came to Yingzhou City to serve. Who sent it, Gao Yang is really not sure. (To be continued......)
