Chapter 936: The Exiles Rise
The destruction of the city by the homeless people is the most terrifying thing, eat it all and rob it all, and then the people in the city have also become homeless, whether they want to or not, they can only follow the brigade, otherwise it will be a dead end.
If these cities are broken in the first place, the government still has time to prepare, it will gather officials and troops to intercept it, it will strengthen the vigilance of the cities on the route of the displaced people, and even mobilize grain and grass for relief, but the time difference between the broken cities of these cities is only two days, and the displaced people have done this during the march.
Advancing in several directions, attacking the city at about the same time, and then achieving similar results, even the official army is not so easy to do.
After the news from this side reached the prefecture and the provincial capital, the prefect, the Taoist minister, the governor and others suddenly realized that five or six prefectures and counties in Yanzhou had fallen, which was really shocking.
These six broken prefectures and counties are near the canal, the place where the displaced people go is Jining Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture Ziyang, Zou County between the three triangles, a little common sense of the officials can judge what the displaced people want, Jining Prefecture is the hub of Caoyun, rich in Shandong, hoarding a large number of grain, grass and goods, Yanzhou Prefecture Ziyang is the palace of King Lu, and it is also a rich city, as for that Zou County because of the Meng family, a descendant of Yasheng, has not been poisoned by taxes, and the people have not been exiled, and now such places in Shandong are also prosperous, not to mention, less than forty miles away from the capital of Yanzhou, is Qufu County, where the Confucian Mansion of Yansheng Gongfu is located, there is also no less rich than the Fucheng Ziyang, not to mention that there is also the Confucian family, the descendants of the saint.
Jining, Ziyang, Zouxian, Qufu, are all around this triangle, no matter which place is lost, the relevant officials will cause great trouble, Jining has an accident that the canal is cut off again, this time there is no such restrained low-key action as Zhao Jin in Xuzhou, it is inevitable that from the Son of Heaven to the Duke of Wei are angry, and they will definitely go to the official to be convicted, if the Fucheng Ziyang falls, what is the mistake of the Lu Wang family, or something happens to the Confucian Mansion of Yansheng Gong, don't say that the official will be convicted, whether he can save his life is two words.
As soon as the fast horse of the Yanzhou Mansion arrived in Jinan, the Shandong officialdom immediately operated with rare efficiency, preparing to mobilize troops and horses to the south to quell the chaos, and then hurriedly played the imperial court and asked the imperial court to send troops to support.
Liaozhen was defeated several times, and a large number of Liao soldiers crossed the sea to Shandong, and the number of officers and troops in Shandong had reached nearly 30,000, but the number of officers and troops who could be mobilized immediately by the governor of Shandong was only a few thousand.
Governor Zhao Yan ordered, the general soldier Yang Guodong did not dare to slack off, and immediately mobilized troops and horses, but the focus of Shandong's defense was in Dengzhou Mansion, and most of the soldiers and horses were stationed in Denglai and Jining Prefectures, and there was no way to rush to Yanzhou Prefecture for a while, so they could only burn incense and worship Buddha, hoping that the officers and troops in Yanzhou Mansion could last a little longer.
In the huge Shandong Province, the number of officers and soldiers on the bottom book of the military department is only more than 9,000, counting the bad rules and regulations such as vacancies, there are only more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, and when they fought with Zhao Jin last year, they lost a few hundred, and they have not been completely replenished, plus most of them are in the northern coastal area of Dengzhou Prefecture, there are only more than 1,500 people in Yanzhou, and there are only more than 200 cavalry, which are under the command of a general, but the number of displaced people, even if it is not counted, but the number of hundreds of thousands is still there, and it is even underestimated.
No one thinks that this is a huge comparison, and most of them think that these 1,500 or so officers and soldiers may not be able to sweep away the displaced people, but the garrison can still do it.
What is worth more than 100,000 homeless people, but they are just chickens and dogs, not even chickens and dogs, they are nothing more than insects and ants, and they can break those cities, which is nothing more than taking advantage of the void to enter, and the inside and outside should be combined, and those cities also have one thing in common, that is, there are no official and military garrisons.
And let these rebels and thieves who don't know whether they are alive or dead run rampant, and when the army gathers and arrives, they will be completely wiped out and killed.
Ge Tianfeng is 16 years old this year, is a farmer's child in Daicunba, Wenshang County, when he was 10 years old, Shandong was a disaster, the epidemic epidemic, Ge Tianfeng's mother did not hold on that year, went directly.
The Ge family was lucky that year, they didn't follow the villagers to wander, I heard that many people who went there died in Nanzhili, and the rest were also arrested to do hard labor, don't want to come back in this life.
After the drought, the Shandong year is quite passable, but Ge Tianfeng didn't feel how good, in the past five years, the number of times he has eaten can be counted on two hands, firmly in his mind, hunger is the norm, but it's a pity that this name, Ge Tianfeng's name is still asked to be given by a scholar in the village, saying that it means a bumper harvest in the field, but no matter whether the field is damaged or a bumper harvest, Ge Tianfeng does not remember that he has eaten enough.
If you can't eat enough, your body will naturally not be too good, and if you get a small illness, it will easily become a major illness, and then you can't hold on, Ge Tianfeng's brother and two younger sisters are like this, only he and his father are left to rely on each other.
For the departure of his relatives, Ge Tianfeng has become numb, and occasionally feels that there are fewer people to grab food for themselves, and he can eat more, but the appearance of Liao Yu makes Ge Tianfeng's little dark wish can not be realized, and the grain laid down for a year has nothing left after being collected by the errand soldiers, and wheat has obviously grown in the ground, but the bran is considered a good thing, and it can't be eaten often.
After the first year of Liaojiao, the Ge family couldn't hold on, and sold the land to a Xiucai family in Wenshang County at a very low price.
This Xiucai family can only be regarded as a rich family, and can be born by being mean and calculating, exploiting tenants, but this time he did not judge the general trend, this family is not strong in the county, and the officials and servants can not give some face, and they have collected a lot of fields while Liaojiao, but it has become a burden on their heads, and in the second year of Liaojiao, the family was suddenly empty, and it was taken away by the county's lifters, and Ge Tianfeng and his father became long-term workers in other families.
The most troublesome thing about farming in Wenshang County is irrigation, although it is the dam near the river on this side of Daijiaba, but the river water is to supplement the canal, and it is not allowed to dig a canal for irrigation, the officials are very strict, and the slightest offense is a heavy sentence, and the surrounding area is not allowed to dig a canal and dig a well, lest it reduce the water volume of these rivers in Daijiaba.
This is not because of loyalty to the imperial court, but to take advantage of this, in Wenshang County water has a public price, if you want to irrigate, you have to negotiate with the steward of the price, this can be used.
When there is a real drought, they will never buy water, but dig a few wells in secret places and let their long-term tenants carry water for irrigation.
Eating food that barely starves to death, the hard work of being a cow and a horse, it is difficult for people to hold on, Ge Tianfeng and his father finally couldn't hold it anymore, and he was tired and sick.
Rich families can ask Lang Zhong to catch medicine when they get sick, and such poor families can only hold on when they get sick, or pray to God and worship Buddha, but the temple and Taoist temples are prepared for large families, and there is no incense and even the threshold can not be crossed.
After Ge Tianfeng and his father became religious together, they ate a few meals of coarse grains, and after eating enough food, their bodies felt better, which can be regarded as the blessing of the Buddha.
I worked hard every day, and after I was busy with farming, I had to collect firewood and cut grass for the main family, and I had to serve the livestock for them, and even stood in front with sticks when I was fighting, and it was really miserable, and the harder I lived, the more I felt that what the Smelling Fragrance Sect said was attractive, and if I really wanted to have the Western Heavenly God Kingdom and the Bliss Hometown, I wouldn't have to suffer so many crimes, and Ge Tianfeng and his father became the most devout first-class sectarians.
When the earthquake came, Ge Tianfeng and his father were not injured, they lived in a shack, even if it collapsed, it was just a wooden stick and Yu Cao pressed down, and it was all right, but after the earthquake, the main family said that the harvest in the fields would be reduced this year, and while everyone was working harder, they deducted their rations and worked harder, but life was more difficult.
Then the scripture preacher began to talk about the end of the Dharma era, and what catastrophe was coming, which made Ge Tianfeng frightened when he heard it, eating too little every day, doing too much, and that little ration was not enough to eat, but the main family didn't care, at this time, it was too simple to recruit labor, a human life was worth no more than a bucket of rice, and if he died, he would die, who cared.
Ge Tianfeng's father gave up part of his rations, and also helped his son to do more work, such hardship, how can he survive with less food and more work, just the day before the second earthquake, the father and son fell asleep, and chatted with the coolies who lived together, saying that there is no way out, if you keep going south, you can work as a long-term worker for a bigger rich family, maybe you can eat better, and you don't say too much, you are tired to death, and you can't hold on the next day if you don't sleep.
When he got up early the next day, Ge Tian Feng saw that his father did not get up, and shouted twice and pushed it, only to realize that his father's body was stiff, and he didn't know when he died in the middle of the night.
When such a long-term worker died, no one paid attention to it except Ge Tianfeng who cried darkly, and the housekeeper of the main family scolded and felt troublesome, and he didn't even want to give a straw mat, only saying that he would dig a pit and bury it, and bury it deeper so as not to dirty the crops.
When the second earthquake was born, Ge Tianfeng was not afraid, just sat in the shack, thinking that it was better to die on such a day.
After the second earthquake, everywhere was chaotic, Ge Tianfeng didn't do any work, only went there to burn incense and listen to the lectures, such a continuous collapse of the sky and the earth, so that Ge Tianfeng felt that it was indeed going to end, and there was indeed going to be some catastrophe to come to the world, and there were no days to live, and he didn't care about what he was doing.
When listening to the lecture over there, Ge Tianfeng felt that the person who was lecturing the scriptures seemed to be very confused and flustered, and he didn't know what to do at all, but on the fourth day after the earthquake, it was different, and the person who was lecturing the scriptures had spirits, and there were a few more people who burned incense with strong figures and good complexions.
