Chapter 144: Fujian Layout
Yinzhen set off from Shanghai and did not go to Fuzhou, but landed directly in Quanzhou.
Fujian Shuishun Admiral Shi Shibiao was worried about Yinzhen's safety, and he never cut off contact with him, and learned that Yinzhen was going to land in Quanzhou, so he led the fleet of sailors to wait in Quanzhou a day earlier.
Lan Li, the governor of Fujian's land route, was a guilty person, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest after receiving the retribution, and led Quanzhou's civil and military officials and the local famous Jinkun to wait at the dock early in the morning.
When the Western sail battleship that Yinzhen bought by his life slowly approached the dock, all the generals under Shi Shimei secretly swallowed their saliva when they saw it, this is just a sailing ship that is only a thousand times, how can it be loaded with so many guns? Not afraid to shake the ship apart? Lan Li and the other generals were looking at the two rows of military uniforms standing on both sides of the ship, and the military posture was neat Chapter 144 Fujian layout of the navy, I had already heard that the fourteenth master had set up a naval academy in Shanghai to train the navy, these are the navy? Sure enough, it is not the same as the water master.
After Yinzhen went ashore, he only hastily coped with the ceremony to welcome the Qin Cha, and entered the land governor's mansion surrounded by a group of officials.
In the signing room, when Yinzhen sat down, Shi Shibiao and Lan Li saw each other again as subordinates, and Yinzhen waited for the two to get up, and then said lightly: "Sit down, let's talk about the current situation in Fujian first."
After Lan Li sat down, he bowed and said: "Back to the prince, except for the capital city and the coastal counties in southwest Fujian, the other counties have been looted by the mob, and the number of thieves is about 300,000 or more, and the chaotic people have now been divided into three major groups, because there is no food to rob in the coastal plains, they have now turned around and entered the inland mountainous counties."
Hearing that there were only 300,000 people, Yinzhen couldn't help frowning slightly, "The passages to Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang are all heavily guarded?" ”
, "The local garrisons of the three provinces are afraid that the mob will flow into the territory, and they are heavily guarded at all levels of passes, which are foolproof. Lan Li replied respectfully.
The possibility of riots and hunger people flowing out of other provinces is very small" This Yinzhen had long predicted, and was personally confirmed by the Blue Chapter 144 Fujian Layout Commander that he was completely relieved, and he groaned before he continued to ask: "Xinghua, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou are all plains, and the population should be more than 300,000, in addition to the prefecture and county, there are still scattered hungry people outside?" ”
Lan Li replied: "Back to the prince, the hungry people often kill innocents in order to grab food, and a group of hungry people either follow the thieves or flee into the prefecture and county, and the scattered hungry people have no way to live outside the city. ”
Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel a heartache, I don't know how many people died in this starving riot, and now the population is very precious, and he was silent for a long time before he asked, "Has the emperor's edict been announced to the public?" Can it work? ”
After hesitating, Lan Li said, "All the prefectures and counties of the prince have already announced the Zhang Yuan poster, but the large number of mobs have already entered the mountain, and no one dares to enter the mountain to Zhang Yuan to post the emperor's edict. ”
Can't? Yinzhen frowned, and only after a while did he raise his voice and say, "Call the prefect of Quanzhou to come in." ”
Liu Kan, the prefect of Quanzhou, has been waiting outside, and when he heard the news, he immediately trotted in, "Xiaguan, Liu Kan, the prefect of Quanzhou, visited the prince. ”
When he got up, Yinzhen said: "Put the officials of all counties in Quanzhou Prefecture **, a group of five or ten people, bring gongs and the emperor's decree, and each group will send fifty Fujian soldiers to escort them into the mountain to publicize the holy decree, and each one of the hungry people will be rewarded with two coins of silver, if all the officials are dead, all the soldiers will not get a penny of silver, and all the rewards will be paid by the king." You're going to get the word out right away. ”
As soon as they heard Yinzhen so rewarded, Lan Li and Liu Kan were both overjoyed, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward. Liu Kan hurriedly waved his hands and said: "The lower officials will immediately send people to Zhang Yuan to post notices and publicize them." ”
Take Liu Kan out, Yinzhen sighed. Cha Cai smiled at Shi Shibiao and said, "Shi Junmen, this time I have to use your sailor's warship." ”
Shi Shibiao immediately stood up and waved his hands and said, "The prince commands all the water, land soldiers and horses in Fujian, but he has an order, how dare he disobey if he doesn't have a general, and ask the prince to give an order." ”
Yinzhen pressed his right hand twice, and said with a smile: "It's still early, this king is to let you prepare first, this violent and hungry people, this king plans to move them to Taiwan." ”
"All moved to Taiwan?" Shi Shibiao was shocked when he heard this, this transportation volume is large.
"Yes." Yinzhen nodded, "You go out and make arrangements, and you can also contact the sea ships in various ports." ”
Shi Shibiao got up and said goodbye, and Yinzhen said to Lan Li again: "Spread the news of this king's reward to all prefectures and counties, and limit each prefecture and county to send only four teams of men and horses into the mountain, and tell them that this king will only give a reward of 300,000 people." ”
The news that Yinzhen rewarded the officials and soldiers into the mountains to appease the hungry people spread throughout Quanzhou City in less than an hour, and all the officials and soldiers were boiling. There is a way that birds die for food, people die for money, such a heavy reward, a group of street soldiers immediately rushed to enter the mountain, at least 300,000 or 400,000 riots and hungry people in the mountain, casually pull back a share, but it is tens of thousands of people, that is, 2,000 taels of silver, one person can easily get 30 or 40 taels, what is more profitable than this?
The news that came out immediately pushed the atmosphere to the top, there were only four teams in each province, and the prince only gave a reward of 300,000 people. As soon as these two pieces of news came out, a group of street servants and soldiers almost fought for places, and the clever ones immediately spent money and bribes.
Liu Kan couldn't help but sigh, it's good to have money, and no one was willing to do the errand that no one wanted to do before, but in a blink of an eye, he was scrambling to spend money and bribe to go, if the prince had come early, I was afraid that this violent chaos would have been calmed down long ago.
Lan Li took a turn outside, explained the errand, and immediately turned back, seeing that only Yinzhen was alone in the signing room, he salivated and said with an old face: "Lord Sui, the subordinate general Wang Jinxian was defeated, and four thousand soldiers and horses died in the first battle, and now the morale is low, and when the court's pension comes down, I don't know if the prince can understand these hardships in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, and reward some silver to motivate the morale." ”
Yinzhen stared at him when he heard this, "This king wants to raise 300,000 hungry people for two months, how much silver do you want for this king?" Boost morale, you are also an old military officer, is there no other way but silver? ”
Lan Li was robbed of white by Yinzhen, and his old face couldn't help but turn red, and he couldn't speak
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Yinzhen didn't care about himself, most of the hungry people in the riot may be appeased, but it is not excluded that there are diehards who stubbornly resist to the end, thinking about this, he sighed lightly, and then said gently, "This king is also a person who leads troops, and he knows the difficulty of leading troops, so let's show you a way."
As soon as Lan Li heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and waved his hands and said, "I still hope for the prince's guidance." ”
Yinzhen glanced at him, "In this time of the hunger riot, how many big families, gentry and landlords' families have been wiped out, and how many fields have become borderless?" ”
As soon as Lan Li heard this, he was extremely annoyed in his heart, he used to laugh at others begging for food with a golden rice bowl, but he didn't expect that he would be the same. He hurriedly bowed down and thanked, "I didn't guide Wang Ye Xie." ”
Yinzhen chuckled and said: "Don't say that the king didn't remind you, it's too ugly to eat goodbye, although it is a borderless place, the court will eventually check it, you are a guilty body, it is better to be cautious."
