Episode 11 Refugee Waves
(Tonight's reception banquet, the legendary old cat has seen many gods, and everyone is very happy, haha, the old cat can't control his hands and feet...... I really want to share with you that I had a great time tonight...... Well, let's not talk about it, upload) =====================================================================================First of all, the officers and soldiers who participated in the ceremony of entering the city began to sit on the tanks and enjoy the joy of smelling the smell of firecrackers, eating the eggs stuffed by the common people, smoking the cigarettes stuffed by the common people, and enjoying the glory of returning home, besides, it was obscured by the dense smoke of gunpowder, and it was impossible to see anything, but after a while, many sensitive officers and soldiers discovered an interesting phenomenon:
Most of the people on the side of the road seem to be carrying burdens and boxes, as if they are about to go out after watching the entrance to the city
But the soldiers of the People's Guard on the tanks didn't care too much about their tasks, Nanyang City was not big, and the tank queue was relatively slow when it first entered the city, but then the speed also accelerated, and soon the vanguard had gone out from the north gate, and the tanks behind also followed one after another, going out to meet their own divisions
As hundreds of tanks continued to drive through the city, the common people were amazed and began to push and move in the direction of the city gate, and for a time the roads became crowded again
The gendarmes who maintained order at several city gates found that there were people constantly carrying luggage and dragging their families out of the city gates, and some followed the queue of the Ming army and went directly to the south, and some sat and waited at the city gates, as if they had been separated from their families and met here
For a time, the people sitting outside the four city gates were all ordinary people, and more people were carrying luggage, pouring out of the four city gates, all walking, and finally converging into a crowd in the south, constantly migrating to the south
The Ming troops on the tanks entering the city, as well as the gendarmes on duty, felt that something was wrong and began to discuss:
"What's wrong with these people?"
"Where are they going?"
"Why are they all refugees?"
……
The gendarmes went to ask the people where they had got, and they were shocked to find the answer - fleeing south!
The gendarmes couldn't believe their ears, and asked a lot of people repeatedly, and the answer was basically "defection to the Ming Dynasty", the gendarmes did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported the situation, and the senior officers also felt incredible, and they were at a loss for a while, because this problem was not a military problem, and they should not take care of it, but in their opinion, this problem was not small, and the people outside the city to the south seemed to have twenty or thirty thousand, except for the north and south gates where the Ming army was entering and leaving the city, the east and west gates were almost congested
At this rate, in less than three days, Nanyang City will be empty!
In addition to the People's Guards, who were hurrying non-stop, the officers of the Ming Army's army divisions stationed near Nanyang City all felt that this was not possible, and began to spontaneously dissuade the people and carry out "policy propaganda" to the people
The MMs of the People's Guard's Political Work Team stood on the roof of the car, holding a loudspeaker and shouting in a smoking voice:
“…… Compatriots, there is no need for this...... This time, the Ming Dynasty did not come and fight and leave, but to completely eliminate the Qing regime, to set the Central Plains in the north, and to unify China! …… We're here, we're just going to keep moving forward, we're not going to pull back...... You still stay, and you still have to build and maintain the place that you have killed, and you abandon your family and business to the south, but you don't know that in the future this place will be the same as the south, and you will regret it very much at that time...... You said that you defected to Daming, and now this is also the place of Daming, stay...... Compatriots, if you go away like this, the rear will be unstable, and our attack on the front will be greatly affected......"
Hundreds of political workers shouted hoarsely, only a few old people who were old and originally in love with their homeland hesitated to put down their luggage and wanted to try to stay, but the vast majority of the people still turned a deaf ear, and the refugee brigade couldn't see the end at a glance, and walked slowly southward in front of the loudspeaker of these political work team mm, even those old people who didn't want to go, their families were dragged hard and didn't let them stay
In the eyes of these people, this time the Ming army came over as a rare opportunity to flee south, and they usually have to risk nine deaths when they flee south, and they can generally only flee alone, and their parents and relatives will definitely not end well, even if they succeed in escaping south, they will have to bear a heavy burden on their conscience and leave painful memories for the rest of their lives
But this time, the door to flee south suddenly opened to everyone, not only can you go by yourself, but you can also take the whole family, and there is almost no cost, no need to take any risks, as long as you cover a roll softly and follow the team to the south for a hundred kilometers, the only thing to give up is the house at home, but what you gain is the change of the fate of your whole family, as well as the change of the fate of your entire family descendants
Although the political work team shouted hoarsely, these people in the Northern Qing Dynasty could not listen to their ancestors for generations, and in the environment of the Northern Qing Dynasty, the concept of "official guarantee can only be listened to" has long been deeply rooted in everyone's minds, deeply rooted, and has become basic common sense, even if it is the Nanming they yearn for as a guarantee, it will not help
Some mm were in a hurry, jumped out of the car and rushed into the "refugee tide", persuading one by one, even persuading and pulling:
"Uncle, if you leave like this, what will happen to the family's house? Don't care? ”
At first, these people saw that although they were women, they were also officers of the Ming Army, and they didn't dare to do anything, so they were stopped, and the old people only dared to laugh with kind words:
"If it's not in the way, if it's not in the way, we just go south to avoid chaos and come back when we're optimistic about the situation......"
"It's okay, it's okay, hehe, there are relatives at home who don't leave, help us look at the house......"
"Yes, hehe, no...... My dilapidated house is not decently broken, and I don't want it anymore, and if you don't come, I'll have to tear it down......"
After a while, the "refugees" saw that these Ming soldiers only dared to shout, and they would not do anything to them, so they became emboldened, and many of them yelled directly:
"Aren't you Nanming moving freely? Anyway, this and the south are the places of Daming, so we are now moving freely in Daming, you can't care? ”
Just one sentence choked several political work teams speechless
As soon as the other refugees saw that this sentence was effective, they took this sentence as a magic weapon and sacrificed it to don't say it, and those shouting powerful Ming army officers and female soldiers immediately lost their words when they heard this sentence, and they were speechless
Soon, this "mantra" spread rapidly throughout the entire Nanyang refugee wave
……
This unexpected situation was immediately reported to Nanjing This is a political issue, but because it was reported by the army, of course, it was first reported to their superior, the Command, and all the way to Zhang Zhaoxian, where the People's Guard's Political Work Team also reported to the headquarters as soon as possible, and Xiang Xiaoqiang also knew about it at the same time
This is not the first report received by the General Headquarters and the People's Guard, in the right offensive area, there are also a large number of Northern Qing people gathered on the north bank of the Yangtze River, trying to pour into the small number of pontoon bridges just built by the Ming engineering troops, they were attacked by many refugees, and many assault boats were also stolen by refugees to cross the river, and now the troops have to draw a large number of troops to maintain the situation and stop these refugees
After discussing with Xiaoqiang and Zhang Zhaoxian, the chief of the General Staff, they both believed that measures must be taken to stop this large-scale panic migration, which is not conducive to the war, and they decided to go to the nearest place first, discuss with Your Majesty first, and strive to succeed, fool Your Majesty to directly issue an order, first prohibit large-scale southward flight
An old man and a young man slowly walked towards Zhu Yourong's residence, while discussing in a whisper, how to cooperate and fool Your Majesty later, and not let the Cabinet Government get involvedIf Your Majesty has to let the Cabinet Government deal with it, it is difficult to say that the Cabinet must give priority to considering the problem from the political level, and it is likely that it will not agree with the army to prevent the southward escape
This is very ironic, the same land, the same group of residents when Beiqing was here, they thought about how to stop the south from fleeing all day long, and now that Nanming is here, they also have to think about how to stop the south from escaping
……
Now Zhu Yourong lives in the Purple Mountain Fortress again, on the first day of the war, Zhu Yourong is also too excited, and she is too busy to run to the central command hall a few times during the day, and half-understand to pay attention to the front-line war, cousin Zheng Yuxuan and uncle's family also moved in, they only learned about the Ming and Qing wars in the morning, and they all said that Zhu Yourong was too calm, and he didn't say hello to his family first for such a big matter, so that the king of Yanping was known only by listening to the radio like the little people
Zhu Yourong still has to coax them, and he has to deal with the foreign affairs of various countries from time to time This morning was a shock to the world, and the focus of the world's attention shifted from Spain to the East Asian continent On the first day of the war, all governments of various countries sent telegrams, made phone calls, or entrusted ambassadors to Ming, or summoned Ming ambassadors to their own countries, in short, they all wanted to find out as soon as possible what was going on, whether Ming really planned to fight a full-scale war, whether it really planned to unify China
There are more concerns, if the Ming Dynasty fights, will the various interests of his country be damaged, how can the Ming Dynasty guarantee that it will not be damaged, and how to solve it if it is damaged...... How to ensure the safety of diplomats, business personnel, and overseas Chinese in the Northern Qing Dynasty? Will the Ming Dynasty carry out a naval blockade of the Northern Qing Dynasty? How do we withdraw from the blockade? …… If the Great Qing Dynasty is wiped out, will the Ming Dynasty completely inherit the original treaties, agreements, rights and obligations signed between its own country and the Qing Dynasty? Or will there be a selective, conditional inheritance? Or will it not be recognized altogether? Can we send journalists, can we send military observers? And so on and so forth......
Today, all day long, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Daming has become one of the busiest departments, most of these problems are handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, telegrams and phone calls from ordinary prime ministers and prime ministers, and they are also a small number of documents that Shen Rongxuan receives and handles that must not be signed by Zhu Yourong, and will also be sent to Zhu Yourong Here, for example, telegrams sent by European countries in the name of the king and queen must be replied by Zhu Yourong in person, at least the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must write a manuscript, hand it over to Zhu Yourong for review and signature, and then send it in the name of Zhu Yourong
The morning is the busiest, because it is the evening of the Western Hemisphere, the governments of those countries turn on the lights in the middle of the night, and in the second half of the night and the early morning, it is better now, it is early in the Western Hemisphere, and it is the evening here in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not so busy
When Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhang Zhao first met Zhu Yourong, she was reading the comments of the world's major newspapers on today's war, of course, not the original newspaper, but the relevant articles after buying the newspapers from the embassies of the Ming Dynasty in various countries
To the surprise of the two, as soon as they said it, Zhu Yourong knew what was going on, and said with a smile:
"Huh...... This matter, Shen Ge Lao has already spoken to me on the phone."
Zhang Zhaoxian and Xiang Xiaoqiang glanced at each other, and they were both amazed at how well informed Shen Rongxuan was
Zhu Yourong then frowned and said:
"Alas...... Shen Ge Lao and I both agreed that the refugees should be allowed to evacuate to the south."
"Your Majesty......"
Xiang Xiaoqiang spoke directly, and then he found that Zhang Zhaoxian did not speak, and hesitated, but when he thought that the relationship between himself and Zhu Yourong was not the same level as Zhang Zhaoxian, Zhang Zhaoxian had concerns, and he didn't need to have worries so he continued:
"Your Majesty, if every time we lay down a piece of land, the people of this place flock to the south, so that there is no one in the area, what difference is that from being cleared by a strong wall? There will be a huge influx of refugees in our rear, and the local order and economic supply will be extremely unstable, and our rear should have fully supported the front, but now there is a sudden influx of refugees, and the rear is too busy to take care of itself, how can we do a good job of logistics? In addition, there is no way to talk about the restoration of order in the areas we have captured, and now it is better for us to go deep into the hinterland, and after we go deep into the hinterland of the Northern Qing Dynasty, it is indispensable to collect and buy grain locally to reduce the pressure of rear transportation! In this case, it will be more and more difficult at the front, and it will be more and more difficult at the rear, and it will be difficult to win the war! ”
