Chapter 455: Placement

The Dengzhou camp appeared under Kaifeng City before dusk, and in the continuous camp, more than 200,000 people, who didn't run much, knelt on the ground and waited for the Dengzhou camp to come and catch them. Why is this happening? The hot air balloon was in the sky, constantly shouting: "Fellow villagers, we are the Dengzhou battalion, don't be afraid, the Dengzhou battalion has not committed any crimes in the autumn, and Inspector Chen is here to help Henan." Those who follow the thief, as long as they surrender, will not be blamed for the past. "Repeatedly shouting, these people are originally dragging their families with their mouths, those who can run have already run, and the rest of the people don't run because they can't run.

The most important point is that the reputation of the Dengzhou camp is too good. It was really a team like the Yue family's army, when Chen Xie went north from Henan to Beijing, he walked 2,000 miles, and he didn't take a single straw from the people along the way. Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi came to Chen Xie's face, and took them with a young staff officer.

When he came, he saw Chen Xie arranging a task: "Order Liu Zeqing, 50,000 stone fried noodles, at most five days, must be transported to Chenqiao Town." Lin Ya, all the seized grain was distributed to the people, and they were allowed to get their own food first. Weapons are to be confiscated, and those who are found to have robbed the people's property are to be subject to military law on the spot. Jiangan, you are responsible for sending the food you brought. Speaking of this, Chen Xie suddenly looked at the two who came in and said, "Come here, there is something for you to work hard." ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and walked over, Chen Xie looked at them and said with a smile: "Two, you are familiar with the situation, in this way, each person picks five hundred helpers, and they want good character, not those who are unruly." After you have selected the men, you will be responsible for distributing the food. Under the command of Jiangan, it is him. After the grain is distributed. You still have to take people to build roads, from Kaifeng to the official road in Shandong. When this section of the road is repaired, if you are willing to stay, then continue to stay, if you want to go, you can choose to go to Liaodong or Dayuan Island. ”

The two looked at each other, and arched their hands towards Chen Xie: "Thank you for the grace of the superintendent not to kill." Chen Xie smiled, waved his hand and said: "Suppressing thieves is a civil war, and a big civil war is not a good thing, no matter how many kills you make." It's all internal attrition within the nation. ”

The gates of Kaifeng were opened. The people standing outside the city gate were waiting for Chen Xie's arrival, but they didn't see it, and they didn't see it. Send someone to ask, but the soldier stopped him. Say that the situation is too messy. Don't come over and make a mess. The cabinet is busy or something.

But these people don't dare to leave. can only wait for Chen Xie's arrival. It was dark, and finally a cavalry team came, under a red flag. A young man walked ahead.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there are nearly 300,000 people who have surrendered outside the city, and if you don't arrange it properly, there will be a big mess." Hearing the word 300,000, Gao Mingheng, who was standing at the front, shivered, and the others felt so cold as if they were infected. 300,000, what is this concept? In other words, for dozens of miles outside the city, not many people ran away, just waiting to be arrested. This is what the Dengzhou battalion can do, and other armies are not worth mentioning, and the people run faster when they see them than when they see the thieves.

Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou in the crowd, stepped forward and said: "Chen Gebu, this king is here to thank the cabinet for saving him, and the palace has prepared a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust for the Chen Gebu." Chen Xie smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't have that idle time." There are too many things, if the prince wants to help, he might as well take out some food, I will distribute it to the people outside the city, and then I will get all the ideas to go to Liaodong, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, as long as you are willing to work hard, there will always be a way to live, so as not to be a thief again. ”

I didn't expect Chen Xie to be so faceless, you are still the son-in-law of the royal family, can you not be so big? But there is no room for him to be angry here, and Chen Xie will not bird him. After saying some kind words, Chen Xie turned around and left. Leave a shard of glasses in your wake!

"It is rumored that Chen Sihua does not like pompous luxury, and he is dedicated to doing things, and his reputation is well deserved!" Gao Mingheng came to such a sentence, which can be regarded as a sharp adjustment. When Chen Yongfu heard this, he immediately said: "That's right, the lowly post immediately came out with people and horses to help pacify the people." ”

Chen Yongfu kindly wanted to help, and took more than 1,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, and just walked less than 500 meters before he stopped the sentry post. The soldier said politely: "Mr. Chen, you better go back." The military discipline of the Dengzhou camp is strict, and the cabinet lord has explained that he is worried that your soldiers will not be able to stand the strict discipline. "That's a very polite remark, but it's actually a bit of a slap in the face.

Chen Yongfu was dissatisfied and had nothing to say. I had to say to the sentry, "I'll bring fifty family members over and see if I can help, okay?" The sentry hesitated, but let go. The rest of the people went back, and Chen Yongfu took fifty family members and followed the sentry to see Chen Xie. Along the way, it can be regarded as an eye-opener.

Dengzhou soldiers have three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. The simple use of barbed wire fence separates the people into small blocks one by one. It's still the same camp, and it's still the same people inside, but it's been divided into small pieces one after another. Then there were people outside the small area, asking everyone to line up and distribute rations. There are also people holding bullhorns and constantly shouting: "If someone steals other people's food, they will correct the Fa on the spot." The whistleblower will be rewarded with 20 silver dollars. ”

Four-wheeled carriages, pulling small bags of fried noodles, appeared at the door of one camp after another. The scene looks chaotic, there are people everywhere, but in fact it is well organized.

Suddenly hearing the sound of gunshots, Chen Yongfu looked over and found that several people were dragged to a pit, and the soldier shot him in the back of the head, killing him and kicking him into the pit, without immediately burying him. It's right there for everyone to see. The soldier was still shouting: "Everyone has seen it, this is the end of disrupting order." Those who do not listen to orders are the same. ”

In troubled times, Chen Sihua is really decisive. Thinking so in his heart, Chen Yongfu saw a woman in red, who was distributing food to a group of women and children, the sky was already dark, the torches were lit, and in the bright light, this woman kept distributing food, constantly saying something to the person receiving the food, or touching the child's head. At this time, looking at the expression on this woman's face, Chen Yongfu suddenly felt that the fire shone on her face, so holy!

Finally saw Chen Xie at the gate of a camp, and the pavilion lord sat on horseback, with a straight waist, constantly patrolling around with his eyes. Seeing Chen Yongfu, Chen Xie was stunned, did not move, and smiled slightly. Chen Yongfu stepped forward and said: "I have seen the Lord of the Cabinet, and I specially ask the Lord to give me orders, it is good to be able to do something." ”

Chen Xie smiled: "It's not that I don't give you face, but this is 300,000 people." It's just a pile of hay, and if there's a spark, the consequences are unimaginable. Your soldiers, discipline is not good, I don't worry. Let's go back, tighten the city, it's just help. I am under the city, and I have to stay for half a month, otherwise these people, staying in Henan, will be thieves sooner or later. ”

Chen Yongfu didn't have a temper at all, and went back obediently after giving it up. The city gate was not closed yet, Gao Mingheng and Huang Shu were still waiting at the door, and when they saw him coming back, they immediately greeted him and asked about the situation. Chen Yongfu said truthfully: "Ashamed and ashamed, Chen Gebu said that our army's discipline is not good, for fear that it will disturb the people in the camp, provoke a civil uprising, and disrupt order. ”

Huang Shu sighed on the side: "The officers and soldiers in the world are like this Dengzhou camp, how can the Ming Dynasty come to thieves?" It's a pity that there are not too many Dengzhou battalions, but too few. "As a civil official, it's a bit wrong to say this. But at this time, no one can refute it. It's really good that Dengzhou Camp Table Xiàn is. The three of them went home separately, tired for many days, go back to wash and sleep.

Chen Xie has been busy all night here, and has been patrolling around. At this time, a red flag with the word "Chen", wherever he went, the people showed awe. They are all officers and soldiers, so why is it different? They are all masters, why are they different?

Walking to the edge of a camp, he saw a child lying on his stomach behind the barbed wire, Chen Xie deliberately dismounted, took out a handful of lollipops from his pocket, and said to the children with a smile: "Come on, everyone has it, I invite everyone to eat candy." "The children were scared, no one dared to step forward, they all stepped back. Finally, a fool came up, took a piece of candy, and when he put it in his mouth, tears came down. After a while, he shouted to the children: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's the best sugar in the world." ”

Someone took the lead, the children rushed up, and Chen Xie's backpack was all poured out, and it was not enough to shine. I had to laugh and say, "I'm sorry, I brought too little." The women and children watching looked at it, what kind of official is this, so kind? With just such a move, many people's hearts were calm, and all their uneasiness was gone. As long as everyone sees the banner of Chen Zi and sees this young man, they will feel at ease in their hearts. This is Master Chen of Dengzhou Camp, he is an old man, so you don't have to be afraid. In my heart, I think so, this is the result of Chen Xie's reputation for so many years.

Early the next morning, the first group of people left the camp, holding simple tools in their hands, and began to build roads under the leadership of Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu. In the other camps, young and middle-aged people were selected, and they went to work one after another, building roads, digging wells, digging wells, in short, there was something to do. On this day, the first batch of people were selected and walked along the official road to Shandong. About 10,000 people, each carrying a bag of fried noodles, walked towards the unknown territory as a family unit.

The women in the camp are the most easily controlled, and they are not idle, going around looking for their families. Once found, you can take it to a registration point where the family can stay together. Then wait for the next batch to leave. Women also have a lot of work, washing clothes, cooking, taking care of the injured and sick, these jobs are not difficult for them. If you can stutter, you can be together as a family. In these troubled times, there is nothing to be satisfied with. Dengzhou soldiers are good, they really deserve to be the legendary Bodhisattva soldiers, as long as you abide by the rules, you will never be embarrassed.

There was a story that spread in the camp, a soldier called a woman to be entangled, and she wanted to live with him. Why? Because of the chaos of the army, the soldier rescued the woman with a broken foot and carried her into the camp. For this, the woman entangled him, but the soldier did not agree, but the military judge knew about it, reprimanded him, and asked him to treat others well. When someone asked you to carry someone's back, he touched someone's buttocks. (To be continued......)
