Chapter 1167: Rumors Spread
In order to facilitate the transportation of supplies, the sailors set up a large number of temporary ports along the river, and around these ports, refugee camps sprung up.
The news of Shang Ji's large-scale rescue of refugees had already spread all over the world, and desperate refugees flocked to the refugee camps, causing every refugee camp to fill up. From the sky, there are many refugee camps on both sides of the river, even the smallest refugee camp is no less than 100,000 people, and the largest refugee camp has more than 3 million refugees!
In order to maintain order in the refugee camp, on the one hand, the Shang Ji army sent the main elite to land in Yangzhou, and on the other hand, recruited respected people and strong people among the refugees to form a patrol team to assist the regular army in maintaining order.
Because a shocking war had just broken out here, there were a large number of former Zhongguo soldiers among the refugees, so it was easy to set up a refugee camp patrol with a total scale of more than 5 million.
Moreover, because of the special circumstances, the cost of recruiting these people is very low, and the ordinary members of the patrol have no salary at all, and the only remuneration per day is only two low-grade military rations.
Even such a meager remuneration still makes refugees rush to it. Compared with special military rations, low-grade military rations are already rare and delicious. More importantly, the Shang Ji made a promise that after the disaster relief was over, the best recruits from the patrol team would be recruited to supplement the regular army of the Shang Ji Army.
Who doesn't know now that the Shang army is treated far better than other princes? Not to mention the elite combat legions among the elites, even the treatment of ordinary county soldiers is eye-catching.
Now that I have the opportunity to enter the merchant army, there are many people who are willing to bring their own dry food!
Although it is called a refugee camp, the environment in the refugee camp is not bad because of the strict management system, and the actual situation of the refugees is fully considered in the construction planning of the camp, leaving enough sanitary space, so that the entire refugee camp generally maintains a relatively clean environment, and minimizes the probability of plague and other disasters.
"Hey, brothers, have you heard?"
In the refugee camp, several men gathered together, and a middle-aged man looked around, and then said mysteriously.
"Brother Liu, what's the matter? We are not as well-informed as you, what news is there, Brother Liu, you have to tell us! ”
Several people were immediately aroused by curiosity and gathered around and asked.
Brother Liu smiled reservedly, and then said: "This matter is top secret, I just heard Xiao Qi mention it, for the sake of our brotherhood, I will tell my brothers, you must not spread it nonsense." ”
"News from Seventh Brother? Who are we, Brother Liu still doesn't know? Rest assured, you won't talk nonsense! ”
The so-called seventh brother is the brother-in-law of the man surnamed Liu, because he still has a bit of force, and he is relatively smart, he is the first batch of refugees who took the initiative to defect to the Shang Ji army, so he is now the commander of the patrol team of No. 22 refugee camp A with more than 1,000 people under his command, and he is considered a middle and senior officer in the refugee camp.
This kind of character is not a fart in the eyes of princes and historical generals, and even the commander of a combat regiment is not comparable, but he is already a very powerful "big man" for refugees.
The man surnamed Liu enjoyed this feeling of the stars holding the moon very much, and immediately stopped selling Guanzi, cleared his throat and lowered his voice: "Xiao Qi said, we are because of that Yuan's perverse behavior, which overdrew the qi veins of our Yangzhou land, which led to our catastrophe ......"
"Yuan Wei is really damned!"
Before the man surnamed Liu finished speaking, someone immediately cursed.
As for the cause of the disaster, there have long been rumors among the people, and Yuan Shu has been constantly cursed by the people in Yangzhou, Runan and other places.
The man surnamed Liu looked at the person who spoke out dissatisfied, and the man also reacted, and hurriedly laughed: "Brother Liu, you say, you continue!" ”
"This Yuan went against the grain and angered God. God will punish heaven, our Yangzhou land will slowly become a dead land, not only the earth dragon turned over, floods, drought will not stop, the seedlings will never be able to sprout, and even in the future there will be a fire gushing, until the entire Yangzhou is completely flooded! ”
"Shhhh
As soon as the man surnamed Liu finished speaking, a gasp immediately sounded around him.
After a while, someone muttered, "Is this true or fake?" ”
"Of course it's true! Am I going to lie to you? ”
The man surnamed Liu glared at them, and then said unhappily.
After a pause, he added: "Don't you see, after all this time, the number of refugees has not decreased. The frequency of the earth dragon turning over has not decreased, doesn't this confirm what I just said? ”
After speaking, he looked around again to make sure that there were no outsiders, and then lowered his voice and said, "Besides, if this news is not true, why did Shang Gong only build a refugee camp along the river?" Let's tell the truth, with Shang Gong's current strength, he directly sent troops to occupy Yangzhou, and no one else dared to let go of a fart, but why didn't Shang Gong act? Isn't it because Yangzhou is about to become a dead place that Shang Gong doesn't want to waste time? ”
The others thought about it, and the more they thought about it, the more it made sense.
"Hey, I just don't know what to do with our thousands of displaced people! I don't know how many days this 'Shanggong porridge' can be drunk? ”
The man surnamed Liu sighed and said with a little meaning.
The Shang Gong porridge is a porridge made of special military rations, and it is called Shang Gong porridge because of the gratitude of Shang Ji's life.
"Brother Liu, you will definitely go to Pingzhou with Seventh Brother to enjoy happiness at that time, and you will have to give Brother Ten Thousand Brothers a hand! Let's play from childhood to adulthood, this is a lifelong friendship!! ”
One of them suddenly hugged the man surnamed Liu and said excitedly.
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, when I was a child, we still went to herd sheep together every day, don't forget your brother when you arrive!"
"Brother Liu, my sister, you also know, she looks like a flower. Ah Mei has long been in love with Brother Liu, but the little girl's family is thin-skinned, as long as Brother Liu nods today, I, as a brother, will be married to this marriage. ”
………………
For a while, there was a tide of sycophants, and there was an endless stream of all kinds of relationships and doors.
"What are you doing? Who told you to gather the crowd to make a noise? You guys, today's quota is gone! ”
At this moment, a group of patrolling soldiers walked by, and the officers leading the team looked at the crowd and shouted loudly.
Several people were honest in an instant, including Brother Liu, so everyone bowed their heads and accepted punishment, and they never dared to mention his brother-in-law of the thousand-year-old.
The rules of the refugee camp are comparable to those of the military camp, not to mention the reduction of food quotas, it is not uncommon to execute on the spot, and there are not a few unlucky people who have been treated as typical heads these days.
After the officer left, several people glanced at each other, then smiled flatteringly at Brother Liu, and then hurriedly dispersed.
As they dispersed, news of Yangzhou's imminent demise spread, and the newly stabilized refugees became panicked again.
