Chapter 402: Monkey Trick

"Do you know their plans?"

After listening to Jia Xiong's words, Yi Feng was not surprised that Yang Liang wanted to deal with him, but he was very surprised that Yang Liang found a black mountain thief. Wei Dao'er and the other Black Mountain thieves had ambushed him on the way last time when he entered Beijing, but they didn't succeed that time, and they were quite wolf by Yi Feng. I didn't expect it to appear again so soon.

"Again? I really don't know how to write it. Yi Feng sneered in his heart, and shook his head secretly, these black mountain thieves have such a little IQ? At the beginning, he was also the leader of the young generation in the Yanshan League like himself, but now he has fallen to this point, becoming someone else's tool, or such a miserable tool. I don't know where these guys got the courage, they dare to come this time, but they have tens of thousands of troops, and these black mountain thieves want to deal with themselves now? Ambush? Assassinate?

Jia Xiong's face was triumphant, and he said excitedly: "We have almost completely mastered the other party's plan, we have sent the best agents, and we have successfully penetrated the Black Mountain Thieves." ”

"In that case, then there are monkeys to play with." Yi Feng chuckled a few times. Now he really doesn't take a few black mountain thieves in his eyes, they are not at the same level at all, the black mountain thieves are just clowns who jump off the beam, and they are just monkeys who are barely worth playing.

In the morning light, the war horse roared in the wind, accompanied by the sonorous sound of weapons, Yi Feng led more than 10,000 men and horses to part ways with Li Yuan and others, and he led his troops to continue to advance north.

: The army marched on the road to the north of Jin, and Yi Feng saw a steady stream of troops heading south, like a long dragon, rolling from the north to the south. Those were the people of the Weiyunshuo states of the Xin Dynasty. They all know that the big war is about to begin. If you stay on the frontier, you can only endure the disaster of war. At this time, the only way to go south is to go to Taiyuan or further south to avoid the war and seek a way to survive.

They drove horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, carrying large boxes and small boxes, some even carrying iron pots, some carrying quilts, some carrying chicken coops, and some driving sheep. There were also people who didn't bring anything, and staggered with empty hands and feet. Women with children in their arms and their husbands with their luggage on their backs walked side by side, from time to time someone fell on the icy snow, everywhere you could hear the cry of hungry and cold children, mothers sobbing, and most of the pedestrians were numb and heavy.

Although Yang Jian and his ministers, including Yi Feng, all believed that this battlefield was bound to be fought, and the war must be won, and this war must be fought. It's bound to win. But they didn't see with their own eyes the impact of the war on the people at the bottom, even if it would be a war that wouldn't last long and would definitely be won in the end. But for ordinary people, war is war, and war is the loss of their homeland. Uprooting one's homeland is a disaster and a pain.

Yi Feng looked at these people. I was very touched.

After thinking about it, he still dismounted. Let the soldiers stop these uprooted people.

The people who were stopped were panicked, a little overwhelmed, full of fear and uneasiness.

"Do you want to pull the strong ding?" Someone asked the person next to him uneasily.

"It doesn't seem to be." Some people saw that the soldiers who stopped people were brightly armored, but they were not very fierce, neither beating nor scolding, just asking them to stay, and then kept telling them that the leader of the troops was His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, the marshal of the Eastern Road of the Northern Expedition, and the general manager of Youzhou Mansion.

"His Royal Highness? What did His Royal Highness the Emperor do when he stopped us? ”

"His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, where are you going, how to go north."

"You are so stupid, I didn't hear that the imperial grandson is the marshal of the Eastern Road of the Northern Expedition, or the general manager of Youzhou Mansion, this soldier and horse must be going north to fight the Turks."

"Yes, yes, I heard that the crown prince is still the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition."

"How did I hear that King Jin is the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition."

All kinds of discussions came and went, and everyone used this kind of conversation to alleviate some of the uneasiness in their hearts.

But soon, they knew what the emperor had stopped them for. The crown prince sent people to set up dozens of tiger flags on the roadside, and a large tent was set up under each tiger flag, and then the crown prince's soldiers wearing red army robes cooked in it. Yes, it is cooking, full of fragrant oil and meat, a few large iron pots are set up in a row on the stove that has just been built, and the black stone is burned when the stove is burned. The fire is lit, the pot is heated, the golden oil is poured down, and the fragrance is immediately fragrant, and then boiling water is poured in, and then dried kelp or seaweed and eggs and some dried small fish and shrimp are added to stew the soup in a large pot. On the other side of the shelf, there are red-robed soldiers who begin to knead noodles, preparing to make steamed buns, noodles, gnocchi, soup, knife, noodles and so on.

"God, the emperor's grandson is really virtuous and benevolent, and he actually took military rations to cook for us." Some people were shocked and couldn't believe it when they knew that the soldiers were cooking for them.

At this time, there were red-robed soldiers shouting back and forth, "Those who want to eat should line up first, line up one by one, everyone has a share, and they don't want your money." ”

"Don't you really want money?" A hungry old man asked.

"The emperor's grandson is the prince of the country, the grandson of the son of heaven, you are all his people, how can he ask for your money? Let's rest assured that you can line up. ”

Everyone began to line up in front of their pots one by one, and walked for a long time in the wind and snow, of course, they wanted to eat hot rice and soup.

When everyone started to line up, someone came over and began to talk about going to Youzhou Mansion in Hebei.

"If you're willing to go to Youzhou Mansion, listen up. Anyone who is willing to go to Youzhou Mansion will be escorted by officers and soldiers along the way, and the officers and soldiers will be responsible for your food and tent clothes to protect against the cold. Even if you are unwilling to settle in Youzhou, then after you go, you can also arrange temporary work, so that you have a job to do, a salary to get, a house to live in, a fire and clothes to keep out the cold, and when the war is over, those who are willing to return can also return to their hometowns. The soldiers kept the propaganda over and over again.

The conditions preached by the soldiers are really good, go to Youzhou, take care of food and tent accommodation on the way, escorted by soldiers, and when they arrive, those who are willing to settle down have land, borrow money to build houses, etc., and those who do not want to settle down can also arrange work to make money, and will ensure food, clothing, food and shelter, it is hard to believe that there is such a good thing. The person who said this is the current emperor's grandson, which undoubtedly gives many people who originally evacuated to the south, but do not know how to survive after arriving in the south. After all, not everyone will have relatives in Taiyuan, and not everyone will be able to find work after arriving in the south. Many people have no money to live with, and they don't know how to live next month after eating this month.

"Do you think that's true?"

"I don't think the imperial grandson needs to lie to us, don't you see that his old man is not cooking for us now, cooking soup for us, and lighting a fire for us to keep warm?" Seeing that he could get a lot of benefits from His Royal Highness Taisun, the homeless even directly used the word old man when he called Taisun, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"If it's true, then why did the emperor's grandson let us go to Hebei, isn't it good to place us directly in Taiyuan." Some people still have doubts.

At this time, an old man who was a little older, still wearing a Confucian robe, and was obviously a scholar, said: "Didn't you hear just now that this imperial grandson is also the marshal of the East Road and the general manager of Youzhou Mansion." Youzhou is the domain of the emperor's grandson, and it is naturally more convenient to arrange people to Youzhou and his domain, and the important thing is that Youzhou is his domain. With a population, there is a qiē. The old man was obviously more knowledgeable, and although he felt that the population was precious, it was not to the point of such a shortage of people. But he still feels that the arrangement of this imperial grandson is also a long-term consideration. It can not only save the homeless people and win the hearts of the people, but also get these homeless people to their own territory in Youzhou, which is also the strength of Youzhou Mansion.

Liu Wenjing, Li Mi and others stood there with Yi Feng and watched the homeless people sign up to go to Huaifa, with smiles on their faces.

"These canteens and registration points should be preserved, and we must find a way to resettle the displaced people from the north to Youzhou, and we will have as many as we want. Even if you don't want to settle down, and only plan to avoid the war for a while, you can accept it. In addition, on other roads, some flags were also planted, some rice sheds were set up, and registration points were set up. Yi Feng looked at the more and more displaced people in front of him, but he was very happy in his heart. Now he is short of people, Yan zhòng is short of people.

The people who were pregnant with famine, the strongest and most young people, were basically brought into the army by him. And his army is all professional army, and there is no wartime soldier and idle farmer. The rest of the men have basically entered the various workshops and mines, and even the young and strong women who have been in the wilderness have basically joined the workshops to work and earn money, which is very different from the situation in the Central Plains. But even so, Huaihuang is still facing a shortage of manpower. And now Yi Feng not only has a famine, he also has a Youzhou thirty-two states. In particular, he also plans to advance northward, expand to the land of Sanfan, and civilize this raw land, which will require more people. Now that the war in the frontier has begun, the people in our frontier are allowed to go south to avoid the war, and the local officials in the south are afraid of seeing these people, for fear that something will happen. But when Yi Feng saw these people, he felt that they were all treasures.

"Your Highness is merciful."

A group of scholars and monks from the Taisun Mansion painted and praised Yi Feng's benevolence, they all thought that Yi Feng arranged those displaced people only out of the benevolence of the superior to the people, but they didn't expect that Yi Feng was certainly sympathetic to the people, but he also did this because it was indeed a very beneficial thing for Huaihuang to Youzhou Mansion. If it was only out of sympathy, Yi Feng only needed to pull out a sum of money, and then let people from Taiyuan be sent to resettle these displaced people, build a temporary resettlement camp for them, arrange tents, and then supply food every day, and wait for them to hold out until the end of the war.

Of course, Yi Feng didn't explain too much to these scholars, just do whatever they want and do their own thing. Leaving someone in charge of this matter, and leaving some people for him, and then sending someone to call the people from the Taiyuan local government to explain a thing or two, Yi Feng led his troops to continue to set off north.
