Chapter 310: Solid Wall Clearing
In fact, Pang Gang's worries are not superfluous, last month Pang Gang privately sent troops to Jinan City to settle in, he has already committed a taboo, you must know that Pang Gang is in charge of the defense area is only Shandong East Road, half of Shandong west of Qingzhou is not under his responsibility, but with the support of Wei Tongtong, the governor of Shandong government, Li Yuan, Bin Shiqian and Dong Guo still settled in Jinan City relatively smoothly, but it also caused some people to be uneasy.
Pang Gang already knew these things in his correspondence with his cheap old man Wei Tongnian, but Pang Gang was not worried about this, the power from the barrel of the gun is the truth that great men believe, and now Pang Gang is holding the gun in one hand and the money bag in the other, plus they still have a seal around their necks, he doesn't believe that anyone else in Shandong dares to jump out without long eyes...... April 15 of the tenth year of Chongzhen
Dolgon, the prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, led more than 30,000 people with the white flag and the two flags of the white flag to the south, and the soldiers pointed directly at Shandong, and suddenly the northeast road of the mountain was a wolf smoke, and at the same time, the governor of Shandong, Wei Tongyi, who received a warning from his son-in-law, immediately sent an urgent warning signal of 800 miles like the imperial court, and also took over the defense of Jinan City as a governor, and began to levy strong people, or go to the city wall to defend the city, or assist the army to maintain order in the city, and the whole Jinan City was floating with an atmosphere of wind and rain.
At this moment, in Jinan City, each city gate is guarded by a thousand soldiers led by a thousand generals to strictly check the entry and exit. And the streets of the city are also full of teams of soldiers patrolling, pedestrians from north to south have to go through layers of interrogation and difficulty, from the south to the north of the travelers are not allowed to pass through the Shandong governor Yamen, Wei Tongtong wearing a second-grade brocade chicken complement big red silk python suit, wearing a six-beam crown, waist jade belt, a solemn and majestic face from the signing room to the lobby, the summoned civil officials and military generals have already been divided into left and right standing solemnly, quietly silent, although there are two lines of warriors standing on the left and right of the lobby, but also silent. Wei Tongnian sat down in the middle, coughed habitually and gently, and swept his eyes at all the civil and military officials. All the civil and military officials felt the majesty of the governor from this light cough, and they held their breath more and more, not daring to look up, and then, the civil officials of high rank saluted in order according to their ranks, and then the military generals saluted in turn.
The reverence of these civil and military generals for Wei Tongnian is in the heart, not only because Wei Tongnian took office in just two months after he took office, but also because he drastically eliminated the showdowns and miscellaneous taxes of the former governor. Moreover, Wei also used his ruthless methods to deter a group of officials who had evil intentions and disobeyed the yang, and the row of bloody human heads hanging outside the city gate was the best proof.
Of course, if others had done this, the excerpts of his impeachment would have flown all over the books in the emperor's imperial study, but Wei Tongnian was different, after he had shocked many people with a batch of heads, he waved a shiny silver to gag many people's mouths.
History has proven that the practice of wielding a gun in one hand and silver in the other is effective in any era and any country, so Wei was able to control a group of old and cunning officials and the arrogant Qiu Ba in just a few months.
"Everyone!" At this time, Wei Tongtong's fair face showed a solemn look, and he said solemnly: "I think you all know the meaning of being anxious to come today, that is, more than 30,000 Manchu Qing Tartars have invaded our Shandong and will arrive in Jinan in a few days." I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, if Jinan City is breached, none of us will be able to escape, because the commander of this attack on Jinan City is none other than Dolgon, Prince Rui, who is known for his ferocity among the Manchu Tartars. ”
At this point, there was silence in the lobby, and everyone showed a solemn but not surprised look, it was obvious that these officials had already received the news.
Wei Tongnian continued: "Now there is a thorny problem, that is, there are still many people living within a hundred miles outside the city of Jinan, and if the Tartars come, they will be the first to suffer. As a parent in a certain place, I can't help but take them into account, what is your best plan? ”
"This ......"
At this, everyone fell silent, because the problem is very difficult to solve, and if it is not good, it will lead to unpredictable results. If you let it go, then these tens of thousands of people may become the meat shield of the Qing army, and then the Qing soldiers will drive them to attack the city, and then you will fight or not?
If thou wilt send them all away like in the city, thou shalt take care of the daily bread and drink of so many people.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wei Tongnian sighed secretly in his heart and said: "Since you don't speak, then let this official come to say, from tomorrow onwards, we will carry out a strong wall clearing, and move all the people within a hundred miles outside Jinan City into Jinan City, until the Tartars retreat." ”
"What?" Wei Tongnian's words caused an uproar in the lobby, and everyone whispered about it.
"My lord, I have something to say!" At this time, a civil official wearing a seven-rank cyan official uniform stood up and arched his hand towards Wei Tongnian: "My lord's compassion and compassion for others are also deeply admired, but there are some things that I want to ask my lord to explain." ”
"Speak!" Wei Tongtong stroked his beard expressionlessly.
"There are no less than 30,000 or 40,000 people within a hundred miles outside the city, how can they all be ordered to live in the city, and besides, do these people have to rely on the government to provide them with food, clothing, shelter and transportation? If so, how long can the government afford it? ”
Wei Tongnian's brows furrowed, and he asked majestically, "What position do you hold in which yamen?" ”
If ordinary people saw the governor's expression, I am afraid that they would have been frightened a little bit of the six gods, but this young seven-rank petty official still said without humility or arrogance: "The humble position is the political envoy of the political envoy and the secretary of the vine forest. ”
"Fuji Forest?" Wei Tongtong said thoughtfully: "Oh, what does the rattan capital matter mean? ”
Fujilin said calmly: "Now there are no less than 500,000 people in my Jinan City, if tens of thousands of people pour in, it will undoubtedly bring a great burden to the food in the city, and if the Tartars besiege the city for a long time, it will cause a great burden." Therefore, the meaning of the humble position is to inform those people and let them flee for their lives, but they cannot be introduced into my Jinan City, so that the Tartars must not be able to easily catch them all! ”
"Shhh
Listening to the words of this rattan capital, everyone gasped, this rattan capital is really hard-hearted, and tens of thousands of people will be ignored with a fluttering sentence, and they will be left to fend for themselves. It is important to know that people who have left their homes will have a hard time surviving without food and shelter.
