Outside the city of Dangar, the black and oppressive refugees gathered at the gates of the humble camps outside the city, waiting for the soup porridge of the Qin army left behind. Many of the refugees here have even come all the way from the Guide Hall.

Of course, they are all Han Chinese.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Qin army with thirty or forty Mongols had already set up a cauldron and boiled porridge under a few simple shacks at the entrance of the camp, and as soon as the aroma came out, the crowd was in an uproar. Thirty or forty Mongols hurriedly stood outside the shack and maintained order.

Several instructors walked through the crowd, and in a soft tone, the refugees lined up in order. These people have a friendly attitude, they don't have a bit of arrogance, and they are the most respected people in the Qin army these days.

Ji Xiliang was a talent who joined the army when the Qin army formed the expeditionary army. Of course, the reason why he joined the army was not that he was fierce and fierce and high-minded in defending the country and defending the border, but that he was simply poor and couldn't live.

Poor Xiucai, poor Xiucai!

Although Xiucai was also a member of the gentry class, they were far less popular than others. There are poor and sour talents everywhere in the world, but who has ever heard of a hungry stomach growling?

Ji Xiliang went to the expeditionary army to teach the generous treatment. Before entering the barracks, he left all the money he got to his wife and children.

When I first joined the army, I was in the company of a group of mud-legged people who didn't know a single word, and many scholars couldn't step on their identities for a while. But Ji Xiliang is different, when he was most down, he personally went to the Han River to catch fish and shrimp, went up the mountain to pick up wild fruits, chopped firewood, and in order to prevent his wife and children from starving to death, he entered the Nanzheng Mintuan as early as the beginning of Liu Xian's army.

And because of his talent status, he was also valued by Wu Zhensheng Wang Xun, one of the leaders of the Nanzheng People's League at that time.

Because of this value, Lu Youxiong let the Hanzhong militia lose three or four thousand people in the first battle, and Ji Xiliang was lucky to avoid it. But Ji Xiliang, who had no benefactor, was immediately beaten back to the prototype, and the family could only go in and out, and it didn't take long for there to be no overnight food.

When the Taiping army went south into Sichuan and left Hanzhong, Liu Xian paid a high salary to recruit scholars in Hanzhong to enrich his small backyard. It is the hundreds of Zhuangzi who were resettled after adopting the 60,000 or 70,000 refugees.

Ji Xiliang didn't go!

At that time, the counties of Hanzhong suffered heavy losses, from officials to officials were in urgent need, he became a small official of the Hanzhong government, only thinking that the time had come, so he didn't want to give up the bright road and go to Liu Xian as a private school or Zhuangtou.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, because of the exclusion of the low-level officials of the Hanzhong Mansion, Ji Xiliang, who has no experience and has a conscience in his heart, was kicked out of the first batch in the battle. Ji Xiliang had to write letters to people on the street for a living, but his income was far less than his expenditure, and his savings were exhausted in less than half a year, and his family's life fell into poverty again.

Now that half a year has passed, Ji Xiliang's monthly assessment is not excellent, even good, and in the teaching and training of enlisted in the army during the same period, he is the first batch to remove the first two words of the four words 'internship teaching'.

Ji Xiliang shouted to the people around him as he walked: "Don't squeeze everyone, you all have porridge to drink." Liu Junmen of my family said that what the battalion soldiers didn't eat should also be given to the people. In the future, we will divide the fields and resettle them, so that everyone will have a way to live no matter what. ”

This is the strategy of 'instilling grace' formulated by Liu Xian himself, which can greatly improve his status in the hearts of refugees to the point of 'building an ancestral temple and a temple'.

At this time, there will always be refugees who can't control their feelings and come out to 'vent' their gratitude. This was not arranged by Liu Xian, and his filthiness also has a certain bottom line. Because of this, Ji Xiliang and other military teachers still have high respect.

If Liu Xian just said it nicely, the refugees didn't know it, but Ji Xiliang and the soldiers of the Qin army wouldn't know it. They preach the brilliance of Liu Xian on their faces, but a complete contempt for Liu Xian will rise in their hearts. Because Liu Xian's image is a liar among his subordinates and in his own system.

But Liu Xian clearly does what he says. Whether it is the military regulations and military discipline of the Qin army, or the real collection of refugees and the release of grain for relief, these are real grain and rice, and they are real manpower, material and financial resources.

While Liu Xian is raising his image, he is also taking the opportunity to gather the hearts of his subordinates. After all, he's got a big deal to do. If the teachings in the Qin army are just like the 'Zhengwei' in the army of the Red Dynasty, and the people who gather the beliefs of these soldiers in the army do not have the slightest reverence for Liu Xian, then how can the soldiers of the Qin army under their influence day and night be full of reverence and worship for Liu Xianam?

At most, the Qin army became a Beiyang army, and they revered the boss verbally, but when they were really desperate for their lives, few people were willing from top to bottom!

An old man with two children knelt down beside Ji Xiliang suddenly, grabbed Ji Xiliang's pants, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Liu Junmen is really a big man in the sky!" For the benefit of the people, give us hard-working people a way out. Even if the old man dies, he can't repay Lord Liu's kindness. If there is an afterlife, the old man will be a cow and a horse to repay Lord Liu's great kindness. "It's a kowtow again and again.

The surrounding refugees responded.

For three or four years, the rebel army occupied a place in Xining, and acted as a prestige on their heads, killing and seizing them at will. They are all fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered.

Liu Xian defeated the rebel army in one fell swoop, Ma Guiyuan, Ma Benyuan and Ma Ga were awarded the head, and the refugees turned over to be the masters, and their lives were no longer without the slightest guarantee, which was originally a great kindness. In the past few days, from Xining to Zhenhai Fort, from Zhenhai Fort to Dangar City, I don't know how many homeless people have been sheltered, so that these refugees who have escaped man-made disasters but have become destitute can truly see a glimmer of hope for life in despair.

Ji Xiliang smiled and stretched out his hand to make everyone quiet, he was very satisfied with what he was doing now, and whenever he thought about it at night, his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment. This is the accumulation and influence of the good side of humanity.

"Everyone listened well, and they all put their hearts in their stomachs. Lord Liu personally explained that as long as there is food for the expeditionary army, you will definitely not be hungry. ”

The refugees cheered, and at least seven or eight people around Ji Xiliang were crying silently, "Lord Liu is a living Bodhisattva." God bless, bless Lord Liu to be safe and sound, and smooth and smooth. ”

……

The thousands of prisoners of war of the rebel army in Dangar City, Liu Xian gave the Huitenan banner. How Dorji Shamu can use them in the future, that is a matter of Dorji Shamu, Liu Xian doesn't care.

The seven or eight thousand men of Zhenhai Fort could not do this. How to deal with it specifically, it is up to the local military and political government in Xining to make an idea. Anyway, dismantling and dismantling is a must.

Then there are five or six thousand Protestant believers in Xining City, most of whom are women, children, and the elderly and weak. There were few young people in the right age, and Liu Xian waved his pen and gave the Mongolian Seven Banners and asked them to take them all to Qinghai.

On June 22, exactly a month after the original dispatch of troops, Liu Xian led his army back to the city of Tangar. By this time, the number of refugees hosted here had crossed 15,000 and was approaching the 20,000 mark.

Liu Xian was not prepared to leave many troops behind. Although in the agreement reached with Yutong, this Dangar city will be returned to the territory of the expeditionary army in the future. Liu Xian only left two squadrons here, plus a medical team and more than ten teachers. There were still sixty or seventy wounded and sick men waiting to be recovered in the two disorganized squadrons, and the real force was only one hundred and ten.

Dorji Shamu immediately said that he would leave 300 people to assist, and the other princes of the Six Banners were not fools, you had 300, I had 200, and in the end, the people of Dorji Shamu had left 1,800 horses.

Liu Xian didn't want to carry this burden. A team of 1,800 horses, people eat horses and chew horses, and it can be consumed more than 5,000 refugees in a month. Although a large amount of grain was seized in Dangar City, Zhenhai Fort, Xining, Hualong, Xunhua and other places, most of Liu Xian was left to the local military administration in Xining.

Xining Prefecture wants to restore the rule of the people in all aspects, and it can be without gold and silver, but it must not be without food. Only 30,000 stone of grain and rice were transported back to the city of Tangar.

Of the more than 1,000 cows collected by Wei Ming Xunhua, only 300 were pulled back to Dangar City. Liu Xianam's knowledge of the overall situation and righteousness only deeply moved Yutong, Guo Xiangzhi and other officialdom veterans.

Three hundred cows is definitely not enough for the soldiers and civilians in Dangar City to exceed 20,000 sooner or later. At this point, many people in the Qin army persuaded Liu Xian that more than 1,000 cattle should be brought back at least five or six hundred. Liu Xian didn't listen to anything, he already had an idea on this point - horse farming.

Ninety-nine percent of the cultivated land and livestock in China's agriculture are cattle, and only a small number of horses are cultivated in the border areas of Xinjiang. In the minds of the vast majority of Chinese people, the word horse farming does not exist at all.

Here, Liu Xian does not need to compare the advantages and disadvantages of ox ploughing and horse ploughing. Because we only need to look at the comparison of the agricultural output value of ancient China and the ancient European countries that used horse farming, the comparison of the amount of arable land in China and Europe, and the comparison of the number of people fed, it is clear at a glance whether cattle farming is excellent or horse farming is excellent.

However, in the case of a shortage of ploughing cattle, horse ploughing is a must. It's better than manpower, right? Besides, the current city of Tanggar, that is, the Tangar Hall, is as vast and sparsely populated as Europe, with a lot of arable land, and there is absolutely no shortage of water sources.

Liu Xian directly left more than 200 wounded horses in Dangar City, and then eliminated nearly 600 old and weak horses from the army, so that Dangar City has more than 800 horses, as long as they are properly distributed, not to mention 20,000 people, even 30,000 soldiers and civilians can get by.

It should be noted that the branch layout of the refugees in Tangar City in the future is just like Liu Xian's own small backyard in Hanzhong, and the system of protecting the armor is compiled. Take the household as the unit grouping, set up the head of the household, set up the house number, and make the road guide; Ten households are A, and the first is set up; The top ten are guaranteed, and the chief of the guarantee is established.

The difference is that Liu Xian here in Tangar City will not force men and women to pair up, as long as they are willing, the orphans and widows are the same family. Therefore, in order to ensure that such families also have food income to support themselves, the agricultural production in Tangar City in the first three years was more like a small farm system based on A. That is, to eat a big pot of rice! R1152
