Chapter 586: Resettlement of the Displaced People

The people who rushed out of Dangshan County were obviously thieves and elite soldiers, and they came out to maintain order when they heard the noise outside, but their means of establishing their authority seemed to be only one way to see blood.

"The big boss told me not to make noise, are you all deaf?" A ringleader-like thief pulled back the steel knife from the corpse of the bankrupt homeless, with a hideous face, and laughed loudly: "No matter how much you have no military order, you will not be spared..."

There were only 100 thieves rushing out of this Dangshan County, but they scared the wanderers into escaping to the periphery. Li Xin saw that the situation was about to get out of control, and if he attacked his phalanx, wouldn't it be a disaster? So he immediately shouted: "The people scatter to the left and right, don't attack the officials and soldiers, otherwise the swords and guns will have no eyes..." At the same time, the soldiers behind Li Xin also shouted in unison.

The homeless people did not collapse as immediately as Li Xin had imagined, but after the warning of the Three Guards, the commotion suddenly stopped, and all those who tried to flee stopped their formations, except for the sobs of women and the cries of children from time to time. As for the lean men who were only twenty paces away from the phalanx, the eyes staring at the officers and soldiers were full of vigilance, vigilance, and even a trace of fear and hostility. Seeing this scene, Li Xin suddenly woke up.

These people say that they are outcasts, but they gather together under coercion and follow the thieves to the north and south, aren't they just one of the thieves who claim to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Only in this way can we explain why the thieves still patiently follow them when they are slashed and killed at will, but they are deeply wary and hostile to the officials and soldiers. If there are frequent natural disasters today, and under the pressure of the government and local wealthy, the people will follow the thieves all the way and maybe there will be a way to live...

The vicious thieves who rushed out of Dangshan County found out that the official army was still in storage, and after being frightened, the leader shouted again: "The official army attacked the city, the official army attacked the city..." When the officers and soldiers came, everyone was grasshoppers on a rope, and no one could live... Kill Lao Tzu..."

After shouting, he rushed into the dense crowd of exiles with a hundred and ten capable thieves around him, and the exiles seemed to be ready to move under their leadership.

Seeing that the shape was reversed in an instant, and Shunmin became a thief in the blink of an eye, Li Xin was in a hurry, and he really regretted that he came up rashly, looking at the number of displaced people outside Dangshan County, there were at least tens of thousands of people, and in the era when there were no machine guns, arquebuses and cannons alone could not contain so many people in any case.

Up to now, Li Xin can only bite the bullet and become a dead horse doctor.

"The court decrees, the first evil is punished, and the servant does not ask... The people beheaded the thief and rewarded him with a thousand dollars, and one acre of land..."

Immediately afterwards, there were thousands of voices behind Li Xin...

"Brothers, don't listen to the words of the official dog officials, what they have said and promises, are there still few? How many of us have been killed? How can the officers and soldiers spare you? Listen to Lao Tzu, kill Lao Tzu... When the time comes, the big boss will be rewarded as much..."The leader of the thieves also shouted, and the beads of sweat on his head were already crackling. He was a little stunned, how could the homeless people who were as obedient as the little sheep in Surrey not listen to orders today?

The vigilant eyes of the homeless people also seemed to hesitate, Li Xin's words can be said to be a lot of temptation for them, first of all, he is not to blame for the crime of thieves in the past, and he is not guilty of killing the head of the thief and rewarding him with land, but this kind of thing still makes the homeless people suspicious, and there are many things that the government has broken its word and fattened, who knows if the words shouted by this army general will be counted.

Li Xin was in a hurry to pull out the Yanling knife, stretched out his left arm again, and cut it fiercely, and immediately drenched in blood.

"I am the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and now I swear by blood, if I violate it, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed..."

The ancients had already made a heavy oath, not to mention that they were dignified marquis, and they swore by blood, which shows the full sincerity. And the Ming Dynasty ruled the world for more than 200 years, and the orthodoxy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it was a rebellion to go against it after all, so on, and finally someone couldn't help but ask:

"If we join the official army, Master Hou really won't break his word and get fat?"

Li Xin's voice was full of emotion, and he promised to do what he said. There was a sudden uproar among the homeless people, and the crowd was like a tide pouring down in an instant, and in an instant the one hundred and ten thieves who dared to wander were drowned. At this moment, the fire of hatred in the hearts of the displaced people was also ignited at the same time.

Among the homeless people, there are many people who have been burned down by the thieves, and then they are coerced to burn and loot with them, and there are very few people who can become the leaders after all, and the vast majority of them have a very low status among the thieves and are frequently bullied. At this time, all kinds of long-endured feelings were compiled into the embankment of the breach, and they killed a hundred and ten thieves, and they took advantage of the situation to rush to the north gate of Dangshan County, which had not yet been closed.

The thieves guarding the gate reacted, and it was too late to close the gate......

A bloody massacre had just passed, Li Shuangcai had vomited the brick wall many times, thousands of heads were piled up in the open space inside the north gate of the city wall, and the bodies of the dead were piled up like a hill outside the city, and the blood seeped into the damp ground and was already dark in the gloomy sky. These were all thieves stationed in the city, and Li Shuangcai never imagined that those outcasts who looked weak and pitiful a few hours ago would be so terrible. After they stormed the city, they killed almost all the thieves, and then cut off the bloody heads with great skill, waiting to exchange the money and land for the townspeople.

Therefore, at present, there are thousands of acres of land and reward money on the vacant land inside the north gate. But Li Shuangcai was not interested in this at all, and the horror and gore had long since lost the temptation of wealth to him. Little by little, the mystery of war in his consciousness was being revealed. When he was in Dongchang Mansion, although there were also thieves from the 5th Battalion of the Revolution and the 2nd He Division, he had never killed people on a large scale as in front of him.

And these people, who had just slaughtered thousands of thieves, turned their faces and knelt on the ground, groveling before the town captive, begging to fulfill their promise. Li Shuangcai secretly smacked his tongue, but wanted to see how the marquis of Zhenyu dealt with these mobs in front of him. In his eyes, killing thousands of people in the blink of an eye, can it still be counted as obedient people?

Li Xin cashed in on all of this, and distributed tens of thousands of silver from the goods looted by the thieves in the treasury, and distributed them according to the head. At the same time, people also planned cultivated land outside the city, one per mu, divided into several parts, and distributed according to the number of heads.

"From today on, you are the people of Dangshan County. Later, if you go to the Library's office, you will receive the divided land..."

Seeing that the Marquis of Zhenyu openly distributed the land of Dangshan County to the displaced people, Li Shuangcai was shocked and admired Li Xin's courage. Although he is an ordinary person, he also knows that the division of land must be ordered by the imperial court, and if he does it privately, he will not be able to escape the result of abandoning the market.

The reason why Li Xin did this was also to stabilize the tens of thousands of displaced people stranded in Dangshan County. At present, 50,000 or 60,000 people can be worth the total population of a small county, and if they are ignored and allowed to wander, sooner or later they will be coerced by thieves. But if they want to settle down, the only thing that can bind these people is nothing but land.

The local wealthy families of Dangshan County were basically slaughtered by the thieves, and the official books of the county government were also burned, so the thousands of acres of paddy fields in the county became borderless. Li Xin made a decision to distribute these lands to the displaced people, and at the same time sent the news to Zhang Fangyan in Jining, as long as he approved it, the act of privately dividing the land would be legal and recognized by the imperial court.

Although the people of the time valued the land, the temptation of the land was also difficult to refuse, and almost all of them accepted the condition that Li Xin would grant the land with the head of a thief. Relocating 40,000 or 50,000 displaced people is easy to say, but it is a lot of trouble. However, he already had the experience of setting up a refugee camp in Sanwei before, so he followed the old practice at that time, in principle, everyone lived in a centralized manner and managed it in separate sections. In general, there are several things to do, one is to build shantytowns to protect from the wind and rain. The second is to establish an autonomous system based on Chaoyang Fort. As a result, the displaced people will settle down when they have hope for food and housing, and with the guidance of the system, their production and life will be on the right track.

Li Shuangcai, as the confidant of the Marquis of Zhenju, was assigned his old job to recruit strong men among the displaced people and organize a team to protect the territory and the people. began to go deep into the resettlement of the displaced people, Li Shuangcai was still trembling, for fear that this mob would also cut him down. But after a few days, he was surprised to find that the homeless people had regained their sheep-like demeanor, and they were submissive in front of him. Due to the monthly salary paid for joining the Baojing Anmin Team, many people have asked to join, and naturally, Li Shuangcai has also become a hot figure among the displaced people.

After only a few days, Dangshan County seems to have a peaceful scene, just based on what you see in front of you, who would have thought that there was a river of blood here just a few days ago? Li Shuangcai raised his head, but saw a column of smoke rising from the sky in the north, and he knew that these were thousands of corpses left behind by the Three Guards after the incineration battle. The day before, he had also seen that the soldiers of the Three Guards were throwing charred ash that had been burned for half a day into the raging river, and at the same time sprinkled heavy quicklime nearby...... In the words of the Marquis, this was done to prevent an outbreak of the plague. But Li Shuangcai still found it difficult to accept this kind of cruelty that was close to frustrating the bones and scattering ashes.

After the news that Dangshan County had fallen into the hands of the official army spread, the thieves really reacted. The thieves who had originally gathered in Xuzhou gathered and suddenly counterattacked Dangshan County. At the same time, the Nanjing garrison that was supposed to arrive at Fengyang Mansion did not move at all, and after learning these two news, Li Xin's heart was half cold, he knew that He Tengjiao's prophecy had come true, and the Ming army's cowardice was really delayed.
