Chapter 36: Outcasts
The fat flesh on Sun Youguang's face trembled back and forth, and he sighed for a while: "Zhang Erlang, this immigration matter is an order issued by the imperial court layer by layer, and it is not allowed to go on a business trip, this official can look at your face and let Wan Baichuan requisition houses and fields from Xicheng, but this official can't help but do the immigration thing, do you understand?" ”
Zhang Ke laughed: "Master Sun, I understand what you mean, you think that you don't understand the overall situation in your later life, and you just want to stand out for the people who have been expropriated." Rest assured, the grass people are not so ignorant. ”
"Oh!"
Sun Youguang had to look at Zhang Ke carefully, although this kid is not very old, he has a confident energy all over his body, which is different from a reckless young man.
"Zhang Erlang, do you really have a way to settle the people?"
"Lord Sun, the grass people have a few heartfelt words that they want to say to adults."
"Please!"
Zhang Ke said with a smile: "My lord, moving the people to Daqing Fort is nothing more than to shrink the troops and stick to the city, so as not to lose the people due to frequent sneak attacks by the Tartars." ”
"Well, you're right, that's what it means."
"Lord Sun, the grass people think there is a big problem with this matter. Daqing Fort can hold a maximum of 2,000 people, and if more than 1,000 people suddenly move in, the population of Daqing Fort will exceed 3,000. Maybe safety can be guaranteed temporarily, but how can the extra people live? If they have no place to live, no food to eat, no work to do, what will happen to them, either steal and loot, or flee for refuge. ”
Sun Youguang listened to Zhang Ke's words, and couldn't help but nodded, in fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon at the border. The power of the Ming Dynasty declined, and the people had to move inward, but the Tartars followed, and they had to abandon the land under internal and external troubles. There are Daning Dusi in the distance, and there are six forts in Kuandian, all of which are like this.
"My lord, if you rashly move the people to Daqing Fort, even if you escape for a while, it won't be long before Daqing Fort will be in chaos, even worse than now. The grass people had just returned from Quang Ninh and heard something from Lord Wang......"
"Speak!" Sun Youguang's tone was tinged with trepidation.
"The imperial court was defeated by Jiannu, and from top to bottom, there was a desire to rectify the military affairs of Liaodong, especially the guards, which were the top priority. If something goes wrong in Daqing Castle, I'm afraid it will be bad for adults! ”
Sun Youguang's facial features shrank together, and his face was ugly than crying.
"Zhang Erlang, this guard has long been unusable, and the court knows it, so why bother us people!"
When Zhang Ke saw that Sun Youguang was afraid, he smiled secretly in his heart, but this is not enough, he has to make the old thing even more afraid, so that he can obey his words!
"My lord, the imperial court is mobilizing elites to go north, Zhejiang soldiers, Sichuan's white pole soldiers, and the elites of the nine sides are all gathering in Liaodong. They are all recruits, and if they can't improve themselves at this time, and there are still mistakes, the court is bound to take some guards and recruit all the money. ”
"That's not going to work!" Sun Youguang shook the fat on his body and roared loudly: "Let's take our Daqing Fort as an example, it has been affected by disasters for three consecutive years, and there is no food. is maintained by a little food and salary from the imperial court, if we don't even have this, we are not as good as the common people! ”
Zhang Ke laughed: "What the adults said is very true, when the grass people met Lord Wang Huazhen, they said that they were willing to join the army, and they would serve in the guard to solve problems for the adults." ”
Sun Youguang squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Ke, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Erlang, if you have a way to help this official solve this immigration problem, this Daqing Fort will be able to choose the rest of the official positions except for me!" ”
"Hahaha, Master Sun, let's make a decision, from today onwards, you will be your subordinate."
When the two sides were talking, suddenly there was a burst of people outside shouting and neighing, and Wan Baichuan ran in with a blue face. When he saw Zhang Ke suddenly, he was taken aback.
"My lord, he ......"
Sun Youguang said nonchalantly: "Zhang Erlang is willing to help the official solve the trouble of immigration, from now on you are all colleagues, and if there is any unhappiness in the past, you will pass." ”
Zhang Ke knew in his heart that he relied on Wang Huazhen's face before, and he didn't care about Wan Baichuan, or even Sun Youguang. But at this time, he had already joined the health system, and he had to follow the rules.
Zhang Ke hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said with a smile: "Wan Baihu, I have been offended a lot in the past, and I hope that for the sake of my youth and ignorance, please forgive me, as for the silver owed, I will give it with both hands later." ”
"Hmm!" Wan Baichuan was like eating a mouth full of flies, not to mention how greasy he was, he just snorted coldly, and said to Sun Youguang: "My lord, things are not good." ”
"What a person, why can't you always do things, hurry up!" Sun Youguang slapped the table fiercely.
"That's right, less than 200 Hewan villagers have just moved to Daqing Fort, and they have been arranged to live in Xicheng."
Sun Youguang nodded: "Well, haven't we all discussed it, is someone making trouble?" ”
"My lord, there are indeed people making trouble, such as Sister Hua, who sells wine, and she is holding the wine jar and wants to burn her home!"
"Hmph, you can't even deal with a shrew, it's just a rice bucket, incompetent!"
Wan Baichuan was scolded for a while, and hurriedly said: "Lord Qiyu, of course a big sister Hua is not afraid of being humble, it's just that a group of people who ran out of the flower department have also arrived at our Daqing Fort." They were arranged to live outside the western city and set up tents on the spot, but the leader said that they had been attacked by Tartars all the way, with heavy casualties, and that the elderly, weak, women and children needed to be taken care of, so they had to live in the city. As a result, as soon as the people in the city heard about this, they made a fuss, saying that they were Tartar barbarians, and many people rushed out with shovels and hoes, and the two sides were about to fight! ”‘
It turned out that the immigrants were also divided into two groups, one group was the people around Daqing Fort, and according to the plan, these people were going to move to the city to live. The other group ran out of the hands of the Mongols, some of whom were plundered by the Tartars for more than ten years, and some even married wives and had children and changed their clothes.
They escaped from the hands of the Mongols, and in the eyes of the Ming court, this was a matter of abandoning the darkness and surrendering to the king, which was a matter of great face, so they asked for a good life to settle down. But in the eyes of the bottom, these people have become bearded, they are Tartars! When Wan Baichuan settled them, he randomly encircled a piece of farmland outside the city, and he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the city.
This kind of rude arrangement, if nothing goes wrong, is strange!
As soon as Sun Youguang heard this, the blood instantly rushed to his brain, and the old man was about to fall down when he was unstable, but Zhang Ke hurriedly reached out and supported him.
"Lord Sun, are you alright?"
Sun Youguang said with a sad face: "It would be good if the official had something, why wouldn't you do anything!" The people worked hard to escape from the Tartars, so they wanted to go home, so that they could do their friendship. As soon as I came, I made a fuss, and I wanted my life! ”
Wan Baichuan's face was even more ugly, and he said in his heart that it wasn't all arranged by you, an old thing, what does it matter to me!
"Lord Sun, I want to settle them well, but the houses in the city are limited, can I still drive out the people in the city to settle them? If you want to blame the imperial court, Daqing Fort is so small, how good it would be to send people to Yizhou, we would save trouble. ”
"Dream! The boss was afraid of trouble, so he arranged people with us. I heard that the people who returned from the grassland were all tatar, fierce and cruel, and if they didn't like it well, they would use knives and guns. If they are sent to Uiju, they will have a headache if they cause trouble! ”
What can I do?
Sun Youguang and Wan Baichuan are both one head and two big, and they are at a loss.
"Lord Beiyu, something is wrong!"
"If you want me to die, what's the matter!"
This time it was Tang Bi who ran in, his head was full of sweat, and his dogskin hat was lost.
"My lord, the people in the city, Sun Mazi and the others fought with the people who belonged outside the city, three people were killed, and hundreds of people shouted to kill and rushed to the city!"
"Ahh
Sun Youguang's legs were weak, and he sat on the chair with his buttocks, crying and grabbing the ground.
"Oh, isn't this luring the wolf into the house, killing the official!"
Tang Bi was so anxious that he turned back and forth, and sighed: "My lord, hurry up and get an idea, otherwise the Great Qing Fort will be finished." ”
"Idea, what idea do I have, hundreds of people, you don't know how many people we have in Daqing Fort?"
These people have become ants on a hot pot, and Wan Baichuan suddenly saw Zhang Ke with a sneer on the side, and flames suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"My lord, didn't Zhang Erlang say that he could help solve the immigration matter, I think it is better to leave this matter to him, if he can't handle it well, he will be punished for the crime of delaying the military situation!"
Wan Baichuan obviously wanted to push Zhang Ke into the fire pit, but Zhang Ke also had a plan, he wanted to enter the guard system, in order to have a stage for training soldiers and making money, and to get a team by himself, now is the best opportunity, and he quickly deduced a plan in his mind, Zhang Ke smiled and bowed to salute: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Sun, I am willing to talk to them." ”
"You! All right? Tang Bi asked in surprise.
"Hahaha, whether it's man-made, I'm at least fifty or sixty percent sure, but I hope that Lord Sun can give him the power to act arbitrarily."
Sun Youguang is not much better than the person who fell into the water, with a life-saving straw, don't care if you can't do it, you have to catch it!
"Zhang Ke, what this official said counts, as long as you can solve the matter in front of you, the officials of Daqing Fort are up to you."
"Thank you for your cultivation, and I'm going to do it!"
……
"Close the gates, close the gates!" More than two dozen soldiers pushed the gates.
Bang bang bang, the people outside the city smashed the city gate desperately with the tip of their knives, with wooden sticks, and with their fists.
"Don't close, let us in!"
"We have endured hardships all the way, is this how the imperial court treats its people?"
"Shameless dog officer, careless of human life!"
No matter how much you shout, it was useless, the city gate was completely closed, clicked, and the city gate was bolted. The soldiers of the city rushed to the head of the city with bows, arrows, knives and guns, and these weapons were aimed at the people under the city.
The people outside the city looked at each other, and they were all so angry that some of the old, weak, sick and disabled people could not stand it and collapsed directly on the ground. A young man ran to Yue Zixuan's side in three steps and two steps.
"Big brother, it's too cold, and we've eaten up all our food, if we spend the night like this, I'm afraid that a hundred and ten people will die! Big brother, hurry up and get an idea! ”
Yue Zixuan sighed: "Hey, I used to look forward to going home, and it would be good when I arrived in Daming, how do you know that people don't treat us as their own people at all, it's chilling!" Brothers, listen to me, and go into the city and rob his mother. ”
"Yes, kill it!"
The angry crowd rushed down the city, and the bows and arrows on the city whizzed and sounded, without mercy!
"Stop me, don't let go of the arrows!" Zhang Ke had a calm face and took a few steps to the head of the city.
