Chapter Seventy-Six: The Liao People Who Shaved Their Heads
Yang Bo embarked on a journey back to his hometown in embarrassment, just to say a few words, not only to make the silver everywhere, the key is that in the current good situation, we must rashly attack the Tartars, and if you want to keep a low profile, everyone is staring at Lushun! The consequences of talking too much can be described as costly, but what's the use of regretting? The most urgent thing now is how to get through this.
On August 26, Yang Bo returned to Dengzhou, and after sending Chen Bilian and others back to Lushun first, Yang Bo took Xiao Wu to meet Yan Kunzhi first, but he didn't expect Yan Kunzhi to scold Yang Bo in front of countless officials of Denglai Mansion with blood, and ordered him to kneel in front of the door of the mansion to reflect.
Yang Bo remembered Wen Tiren's teachings, although everyone pointed at him, Yang Bo knelt there calmly, but he was thinking about Wen Tiren's thoughts in his heart.
Wen Tiren to deal with the Donglin Party with moral murder means to take a self-discipline approach, he reigned for eight years, although the Donglin Party rose up to attack, but like a dog biting a hedgehog has no way to start, in private life can hardly find fault with Wen Tiren, but Wen Tiren used "the line of hypocrisy and words, when the dynasty is less upright" to block the promotion of the great Confucian Liu Zongzhou, and did not hesitate to scold the shrew ugly and remarks of the great Confucian scolded Emperor Chongzhen to copy down and send it to Emperor Chongzhen, with the crime of "unfilial piety of the cane mother" and "annihilation of the sister" to kill the Donglin Confucian Zheng Zheng, the means are vicious, a fatal blow, sure enough, it is the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, with these killing tricks against the hypocrite Donglin Party is very useful, but forced by the limitations of the times, Wen Tiren can do nothing more than desperately defend, limited counterattack, he has no way to control the Donglin Party to control the scholar class, control public opinion, and write him into the biography of the Donglin Party is the best revenge of the Donglin Party, but he Yang Bo is not Wen Tiren, the core of the Donglin Party lies in the so-called "revitalization of morality", which is certainly high-sounding, but the core is still xenophobic. They set themselves up as a standard for judging good and evil, and demanded the establishment of a morality that was recognized by the whole society, which in itself was a narrow little collective thought and arrogant fantasies, and he, as a traverser, had other ways to deal with the Donglin Party than to kill people.
Just as Yang Bo was thinking nonsense, a pair of feet stood in front of him......
Zong Yuanfang laughed sharply: "Zhixian, why are you so embarrassed today?" ”
Seeing Zong Yuanfang's gloating appearance, Yang Bo was furious in his heart, but replied with a smile: "Lord Prison Army, Lord Yan wants to kill me, and I hope Lord Prison Army will save me."
Seeing that Yang Bo said seriously, Zong Yuanfang was startled and said sharply: "How can this be? What kind of big thing did Zhi Xian do, so that the governor wanted to kill him quickly? ”
Yang Bo shook his head a little dejectedly and said, "Yang Bo is open-mouthed, and he said some wild words when he saw him in His Majesty's Palace."
Zong Yuanfang asked again, "How did Your Majesty deal with it?" I heard that you have been imprisoned, haven't you? ”
Yang Bo said indignantly: "Your Majesty has made a slight contribution to the villain and Lushun, and he will be dealt with lightly, sentenced to verbal blasphemy, fined for three years, and waited for the crime to make meritorious service to see the after-effects."
Zong Yuanfang laughed, his face was full of smugness, he stepped forward and took Yang Bo's hand and said, "Since Your Majesty is magnanimous, why does Yan Kunzhi want to be so popular?" Our family and Zhixian have always been like-minded, how can we sit back and watch Zhixian suffer? might as well go and ask Lord Yan for a favor, presumably Lord Yan will not be too difficult to know if he looks at the thin side of our family. ”
Yang Bo quickly stood up, but he pouted in his heart, and was extremely disdainful of Zong Yuanfang's hypocrisy, although Yan Kunzhi angrily scolded him, but he knew that he pleaded for him after he was sent to prison in Jingshi, what pillar of the country, brave and good at fighting, he almost said that if he killed Yang Bo, the sky of the Ming Dynasty would fall, what were you Zong Yuanfang doing at that time? It's too late to jump out and buy people's hearts now, right?
Seeing Zong Yuanfang holding Yang Bo's hand and walking in, Yan Kunzhi snorted and said to Yang Bo: "You don't have to stay in Dengzhou, go back to Lushun immediately to train soldiers and horses, this time I will spare you in the face of Lord Zong Yuanfang, and if there is a mistake in the future, you will be severely punished, get out!" ”
Yang Bo knew that Yan Kunzhi was going to use a heavy punishment to tell the world, so he didn't say much, and immediately thanked Yan Kunzhi and everyone in a gloomy manner, and returned to Lushun miserably.
However, as soon as he set foot on the land of Lushun, Yang Bo was immediately warmly welcomed by the soldiers and civilians of Lushun, and the road from the dock to the south of the city was crowded with men, women and children who heard the news and came to greet him.
"My lord, you can come back," an old man from Maojiatun greeted Yang Bo loudly
"Lord Yang, Lord Yang!" A group of logisticians who directed the displaced people to build a road between the southern city and the docks cheered at him.
Xiao Wu and a few guards deliberately took a few steps behind, allowing Yang Bo to enjoy this honor exclusively.
Yang Bo smiled and nodded to the people around him, this trip to Beijing, after returning from a devastated heart, he finally got comfort.
"Lord Yang!" There was also a group of fathers and elders kneeling on the ground on the side of the road, their clothes ragged, some of them still looking at the frightened eyes, and many of them peeking at the lord who ruled their fate.
Yang Bo hurriedly dismounted, walked in front of this group of homeless people, and carefully helped the person kneeling in front of him to his feet: "Hurry up, this aunt, who are you?" Can you eat enough and live here? ”
The old man didn't expect Yang Bo to be so casual, so he was stunned, and the lady didn't dare to answer, so she pulled his sleeve.
"Back to the adult's words, these people are the Liao people who fell to Guanglu Island after the fall of Liaodong, the island is barren, and everyone is also suffering, and then the new Guanglu deputy general Tan said that Lushun is full of food, and he can also work for some wages......"
He continued: "Everyone didn't dare to believe it, but if you stay on Guanglu Island, you are afraid that you will not survive this winter, so you will come with a villain gritting your teeth, but I didn't expect that the adults here are really benevolent and kind, not only do you eat big cakes and white porridge, these adults pity us and other old, weak, sick and disabled, and the work they do is not heavy, nor do they urge, the villain is ashamed in his heart!" ”
A woman from the Department of Resettlement and Assistance for the Displaced People squeezed up and said to Yang Bo, "My lord"
Yang Bo turned around and recognized her as a member of the Mao family's Tun Lie and a helper of the Han Er family, so he nodded and said gently: "Aunt Huang, thank you for your hard work!" ”
That Aunt Huang was overjoyed, and waved her hand repeatedly: "Don't dare to be praised by adults, it's all deserved." ”
Yang Bo turned back to the homeless people and asked, "Have you eaten enough every day?" ”
"Eat your fill!"
"Eat your fill!"
The people in the front row replied loudly.
Yang Bo walked to the back row and asked one by one, and everyone nodded truthfully......
"Aunt Huang, why didn't they change some clothes?" Yang Bo asked with some displeasure
"My lord, my lord, don't blame this aunt"
The old man who took the lead saw that Yang Bo had the meaning of accountability, so he quickly knelt down and said: "My lord, the villains arrived in Lushun on the first day, and the adults and aunts of the resettlement department gave each of the villains a set of bright clothes, but the little ones were really reluctant to wear them. ”
Yang Bo nodded, and when they had a little money in their hands, they would naturally change their concepts, and now they didn't need to persuade much, so they asked, "What difficulties do you still have?" Can you tell me in one shot."
Aunt Huang also said: "The adult personally asks about your affairs, if there is any difficulty, just ask, the adult will solve it for you, if you don't open your mouth, it will be too late to regret it at that time?" ”
Aunt Huang's Jean made everyone laugh, and some timid villagers also grinned.
The old man who led the way walked up to Yang Bo and knelt down in front of everyone in the encouraging eyes of everyone and said: "I can only wait for death in Guanglu Island, Lushun is already heaven here, I don't know the blessing yet, isn't it better than a beast?" But the villain gave up this old face and didn't want it, just begging for adults for the villagers......"
Yang Bo helped him get up, but the old man refused, just knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "The little ones only ask the adults, after this road is repaired, the adults can still leave the little people to work here, and the little ones also want to settle down here." ”
Yang Bo nodded and said: "I still don't want to leave if you want to, here the iron factory, the stone factory, the lumber yard, the coal yard, the mine, as well as the clothing factory, the breeding farm, the salt drying field, the gunpowder factory, the lime kiln, the brick kiln, etc., there is a shortage of people everywhere, you can use any craft, you can do work without craftsmanship can also support yourself, and then you can still have rice and grain every month, live here with peace of mind, and in the future, it will slowly get better." ”
Seeing everyone's hesitation, a chief official who supervised the construction of the road was displeased, and said sharply: "You still can't believe the words of adults? Look at me? When I was about to starve to death in Dengzhou, I followed the homeless people to take refuge with adults, and now I not only married a daughter-in-law, but also divided twenty acres of land! ”
Everyone has been in Lushun for more than ten days, and they often heard that the adults have sheltered a large number of displaced people after the war in Dengzhou, and now they see this chief officer testifying in person, everyone is happy and convinced, and they kowtow again and again: "The heart of the adult's benevolence, the villain can't repay it even if he is a cow and a horse, and the villain will definitely set up an immortal tablet for the adult when he goes back, and he says that he is incense, and he only looks forward to ......."
When they looked up, Yang Bo had already walked away, and the chief officer said coldly: "My lord said, you are also a member of Lushun, and you don't need to see your lord to bow down in the future." ”
The old man was stunned and said, "Don't kneel down? Without the humility of the upper and lower, how can this work? ”
The chief officer sneered, "If you are grateful, just put it in your heart."
In the afternoon, the Guanglu homeless people were all shaken spirits, and the road was repaired for nearly a mile that day, until it was dark, these people were still full of energy, and they were ready to work overnight, and everyone in the resettlement department was frightened, and finally even the propaganda department of Zhang was alarmed, and under the persuasion of Zhang and the teaching department, the Guanglu refugees were unwilling to go back to eat and rest......
Yang Bo walked to the south gate, the chief officials of various ministries and departments were already waiting at the city gate, and when they saw Yang Bo return safely, everyone was overjoyed, and even Zhang Shixiong, who had a dead face, rarely smiled.
Everyone parted on both sides, Yun Niang walked out surrounded by Chen Bilian and Yang Bo's female dependents, Yun Niang's face was covered with thin veil, and she walked in front of Yang Bo and looked at Yang Bo: "Xianggong suffered!" ”
Yang Bo laughed, took Yun Niang's little hand and said, "It's okay, Xianggong eats well in Beijing, lives well, and has a wide heart and a fat body."
Yun Niang was unmoved, and said softly: "Why bother to deceive the slave family, Xianggong has lost a lot of money in the past few days."
After speaking, he raised his hand and stroked Yang Bo's face, and everyone was a little embarrassed, so they all looked away.
Chen Bilian in the back coughed, and when she heard the snickering laughter of those family members, Yun Niang put down her hand a little embarrassed, and asked again: "Xianggong, the slave family doesn't understand the major affairs of the court, but Xianggong roared about the Jinluan Palace, lost his honor in front of the king, angered the emperor, and killed the head at the worst, and confiscated the army at the lightest, even if the Xianggong didn't think about Yun Niang, tens of thousands of people in these three places all relied on the Xianggong, didn't the Xianggong think about them?" Why don't you swallow your anger,......"
Yang Bo saw that Yun Niang was sad, and immediately became angry, looked at Xiucai and said, "Who is chewing your tongue behind your back and saying that I roared the Jinluan Palace?" See if I don't tear his mouth"
Xiucai was shocked: "It's not me, I just arrived in Lushun yesterday"
At this time, Zhang Dabao walked out and said in Yang Bo's ear: "Young master, since receiving the report from Lord Yan, rumors have spread in Dengzhou, and it has also spread to Jimo and Shijiu, Brother Tie Niu convened the chief officials of various departments to discuss, and then invited the master mother to come to Lushun to sit in town, so as to calm the hearts of everyone." Now that the young master has come back safe and sound, the rumors are self-defeating, and Dabao is also very happy in his heart."
Yang Bo heard that a few henchmen had arranged a good way to deal with it, and he was very satisfied, and just wanted to comfort Yun Niang with a few words, but he didn't expect that far away, Bi Fangji and Tang Ruowang,
Lu Ruohan rushed over surrounded by several believers.
"Leisure!"
Bi Fangji walked in front of him and held Yang Bo's hand tightly: "You can come back, thank God, you don't know how worried we are, we are all praying for you all night"
Yang Bo looked at Tang Ruowang, who smiled at him.
Yang Bo looked at the kind faces, his heart was moved, he stepped forward and hugged Bi Fangji fiercely, and whispered in his ear: "Your God likes to polish people's edges and corners, and he thinks that this can make people roll further." ”
"Fart!" Bi Francis was immediately furious: "You are blaspheming God's Word"
Yang Bo laughed loudly......
Everyone knows that Bi Fangji is the first group of people to follow Yang Bo to start a business, and it is not surprising to see Yang Bo's affectionate appearance towards Bi Fangji.
"Master Bi, what are you doing?" Only then did Yang Bo discover that Bi Fangji was wearing an apron, and his nondescript appearance was a bit like a shopkeeper.
"We are cooking porridge in the porridge field outside the city, and yesterday there were a lot of refugees from Liaodong who had no food and clothing," John Tang said in a hurry.
"Oh? Let's take a look" Hearing that many homeless people came, Yang Bo was overjoyed.
Everyone came to a place about a mile outside the city, in a clearing at the foot of the mountain, the black pressure or sitting, or standing, all people, He Jiu was draped, standing on a high platform with his hands behind his back to watch the situation off the field, and a group of spear battalion sergeants with sharp blades patrolled the field to maintain order.
Seeing Yang Bo coming, He Jiu hurriedly greeted him.
"Since the news spread, there have been waves of displaced people from all over the Dongjiang River to Lushun, just on the fifteenth day there were 3,000 displaced people from Shicheng Island, plus Tan Yinghua Guangludao moved over 5,000 people, and Lushun has now accommodated about 9,000 people," He Jiu reported to Yang Bo in a low voice
Yang Bo walked to the cauldron and looked, the steaming white porridge was bubbling, and there was a chopstick inserted in the middle to reassure the hungry people, and the other five pots were rice soup. ”
Yang Bo was a little puzzled and asked He Jiudao: "Didn't the islands of the Dongjiang River just harvest wheat?" Why are they like hungry people who have been plagued, and they are all like a material? ”
He Jiu sighed and said: "My lord doesn't know, the general of Shicheng Island heard that these homeless people were going to Lushun to beg for food, and he also sent troops to loot their few rations and belongings, but I heard from them that the original homeless people of more than 10,000 people arrived here less than 3,000!" ”
Yang Bo was furious and said sharply: "Which one is the defender of Shicheng Island?" What do you all eat? Why not send troops along the way to pick them up? ”
He Jiu whispered: "Lord Li has already taken the arquebus battalion and the special forces battalion to pick up, I didn't expect that Shen Zhixiang to be so vicious, and I didn't know about it until the first batch of hungry people arrived, but I heard that the adults were in trouble in Beijing, and the Lushun troops were empty, everyone didn't dare to act rashly, and then Mo Chou transferred a thousand veterans from Shijiu Santun and the main mother to Lushun to sit down, so Lord Li dared to lead the troops to meet the ......"
Yang Bo gritted his teeth and said: "Shen Zhixiang, don't fall into my hands in the future!" ”
Those hungry people saw Yang Bo gritting their teeth, and the surrounding officials all hung their heads in silence, knowing that this person was the master of Lushun, and when they saw Yang Bo coming over, they all bowed down to the ground, and they didn't dare to come out.
"Get up, fellow fathers and fellow villagers, Yang Bo mishandled it and made you suffer......" Yang Bo shouted at them with his hands on his lips
These people crouched on the ground and didn't dare to speak, their eyes couldn't help but redden, they were originally people who had been struggling on the verge of death for a long time, a mouthful of water, a mouthful of fried rice could support dozens of days, but even so, most of them were starved to death along the way, and those who could come here were the most tenacious people.
"Fathers and elders, don't worry if you can get to Lushun, first drink porridge and eat some flour cakes to recuperate, and then do work for rice and grain when your body is better, don't be afraid, as long as you can move a brick and pick a load of soil, Yang Bo will take care of your food, and when the time comes, you will be divided into various tunbao, and the fields will be divided for you to plant, and those who don't want to farm can also do work, in short, when you get here, no one will bully you anymore......"
"Come one by one, all of them, what are you worried about?"
Some of the camp members scooped porridge and said in a loud voice: "When you have eaten, remember the grace of your lords, who gave you a way to live!" ”
Yang Bo took everyone to inspect the side, and those hungry people couldn't stop thanking Yang Bo when they saw him coming, and people from the Logistics Displaced People Assistance and Resettlement Division, the Grain Reserve Division, the Transportation Division, the Agricultural and Soldier Division, the Tuntian Division, and the Equipment Division were all busy working here.
Han Yan'er is directing everyone to set up a temporary resettlement site, a big shack for every ten people, separate men and women, there are clothes, shoes, washing and other supplies in the shack, and there are public facilities such as toilets, bathhouses, wells, etc., some of the displaced people who arrived first have lived here for a few days, they have all changed into clean clothes, and they are chatting together, their food is no longer gruel, but rice and a little meat dishes, so their appearance is very different from the homeless people who have just arrived outside, no longer the kind of dry yellow, looks thin and thin, and many people have a little rosy on their faces.
On the other side, Han Erjia commanded a group of women who were also busy, they were responsible for the logistics of the displaced people, and they were all responsible for the washing and washing work.
Yang Bo walked over and called affectionately: "Second Aunt Han? ”
Han Erjia was fighting in the mountains of dishes and chopsticks, and when they heard the adults shouting, Han Erjia was stunned for a moment, and quickly wiped his body and stood up: "The adults are back?" ”
"Second Aunt Han, it's been hard work, why do you want to do it yourself? Don't you just do it? Yang Bo said sincerely.
"It's not hard, even the housewife comes over to help from time to time, everyone is so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, and it's my duty to do something" Han Erjia was overjoyed when they saw Yang Bo return unharmed.
"Your Excellency!" Han Yan'er heard the news and rushed to greet Yang Bo.
"Biting, how's it going? Are all these people arranged? Yang Bo asked
Han Yan'er nodded, pointed to some little guys who were registering with paper and pencil and said: "Still registering, some of them are in the fields, some of them are skilled in the factory to work, and some of them are incorporated into the agricultural barracks, and the departments under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department also need to pick some people to supplement, but my lord, there are not many young and strong people among the displaced people who came this time......
Yang Bo nodded, he had been preparing for this situation for a long time, the young and strong on all the islands of the Dongjiang River were all flowed down, and only these old, weak, sick and disabled people were on the verge of elimination, but after a large number of refugees from Liaodong arrived, there might be more young and strong.
Yang Bo saw that the affairs of the temporary settlement center were in order, and nodded again and again, and was very satisfied with Han Yan'er's arrangement.
When he walked to the side of the shack, he saw a large cage standing in the open space, and there were at least hundreds of people locked up in the black, and a person who looked like a military discipline officer was giving orders there, and a team of sergeants around him who were dressed all over his body were like facing a great enemy, staring at the people in the cage with murderous anger, and when they heard the command of the military discipline officer, several people entered the cage and dragged out a person.
Yang Bo raised his hand to stop everyone's voices, and walked over from behind to listen to the military discipline officer's handling of matters.
"Are you called Hong Sanqiang?" The military discipline officer asked
The homeless man had a money rat tail with a tartar, and when he heard the question of the military discipline officer, he raised his head and said loudly: "Yes, the small one is Hong Sanqiang."
"You said that you fled all the way from Zhenjiang, let me ask you, do you have a fellow villager or something?" The military discipline officer asked
Hong Sanqiang shook his head.
"Since you can't prove your innocence and you have shaved your head, how can you be safely taken in here?" The military discipline officer asked again.
"The villain is forced to do so, when the old slave slaughtered Zhenjiang and moved the remaining Liao people to Liaodong, the villain was shaved at that time, the Tatar slaves burned and plundered, who didn't hate the Liao people? The adults asked the little ones to be innocent, but the villains really couldn't show ......," Hong Sanqiang stammered and explained.
The military discipline officer asked some other questions, but after all, he still didn't know the point, so he could only wave his hand, detain Hong Sanqiang, and began to ask the next Liao man with a shaved head, but these people came from all over Liaodong, and there were very few people who happened to meet the villagers, and it was even more rare to meet people from the same village, so how to deal with these people was a headache, Yang Bo stood for a long time, and one of the hundred people in the cage still couldn't be released.
"Ming said that the teaching camp will be stationed and talk to each other, and these things that the Liao people say must be recorded in detail and let them come out," Yang Bo instructed He Jiu
"The slave chief makes good use of annihilation, if a Tartar slave gets in, the consequences are unimaginable" He Jiu shook his head and refused.
"In this way, your intelligence department sent a few people who are good at observing words and emotions to come out and ask questions with the teaching camp, pay attention to screening those who look panicked, and try several methods according to the textbook, such as taking sudden attacks, detours, details, etc., we can only do this to the maximum, but we must pay attention to the way, do not use intimidation, persecution and other means, besides, if it is really a Tartar annihilation, it will always be exposed after a long time, He Jiu, you come with your ears, I will teach you a trick, what is the mobilization of the masses, what is the eyes of the masses are bright... …”
Yang Bo couldn't help it, seeing He Jiu's reluctance, he said again: "These people have personally experienced the brutal rule of Houjin, and almost all of them have been ruined, how much evidence can they find to prove their innocence?" Besides, they had tried their best to flee from the Tatar territories, and they would rather risk being killed, starving to death and freezing to death on the way. What reason do we have not to take them in? Just because their braids are an eyesore? If we are worried that the Liao people will be annihilated and not taken in, let these people scatter, without food and clothing, it may become the cause of civil strife, if scattered outside the customs, it may still be plundered by the Tartar slaves for their use. Only by trying to gather these people, gather these people, and influence them with righteousness, this is what we should do, otherwise what is the point of us coming to Lushun? ”
Hearing Yang Bo's persuasion, everyone bowed slightly and said, "Yes!" ”
The next day, Yang Bo convened the commanders of each battalion to discuss the dispatch of troops, but he did not expect to be opposed by everyone......
