December of the fourteenth year of Yong'an, which is also December of the first year of Yuancheng

Fang Xin is now six years old Chinese New Year's Eve and has been a governor for three years, and there has been no major war for two years last year and this year, and Tuntian has finally achieved good results, the army is basically self-sufficient in food, and the 80,000 regular troops have finally been replenished

In May of this year, the one-year-old emperor ascended the throne, Jianyuan Yuancheng, and ordered the kings to disband the armies and return to the fiefdoms

Suddenly, the Central Plains, around the imperial capital, launched a war, hundreds of thousands of people killed each other, and suddenly the land involved in the war, production was destroyed, natural disasters **, and the people were displaced

These have nothing to do with Anchang Province, after three years of renovation of the Fangxin shogunate, not only spacious and elegant, the garden and the courtyard are integrated, the layout is quiet, and the building is ingenious, quite distinctive, exquisite and simple.

When Fang Xin woke up, it was already dawn.

Fang Xin moved Lan Ji's jade arm on his chest, Lan Ji said "ah", and was about to get up to dress him, Fang Xin smiled: "Don't, you can sleep more." ”

As he spoke, he put on his own clothes, and only then did he push open the door a little, and a cold air rushed up.

"Oh, and it's snowing heavily?" Fang Xin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went out, a cold wind wrapped in snow and rushed up, but it couldn't fall on his body as if he had encountered a protective cover.

Fang Xin laughed and said, "Good snow! ”

Stepping on thick boots, he went out, the armor on duty, wearing thick clothes, still added light armor outside, seeing Fang Xin come out, a team of ten armor soldiers, busy following, not far away.

It was really a heavy snowfall. And. It's early in the morning. It's still falling. Although it is much smaller. On a whim. Just step out of the door. I saw that the world was vast. But. The number of ground armor soldiers in the back immediately increased to fifty.

It's still early. Only the military camp in the training area is still lively. Fang Xin walked away. But I saw some soldiers patrolling the streets. Seeing Fang Xin, he did not bow down.

A few more steps. But I can see the two of them. One is the shogunate's important business. There is also one who is also young. It is a year of entry into the shogunate.

Because it's snowing. Both men wore hats. Wear leather clothing. But he is directing something. Fang Xin was slightly surprised. Wait and see. But it's snow. Pull some stiff corpses out of the street.

Fang Xin saw it. The smile that had been easy sank. Not happy or angry. Then. Both men saw him. Hurriedly bowed.

"What's wrong?"

"My lord, there are a lot of refugees pouring in, and the city can't be resettled for a while, and it can be resisted in normal times, but it will be difficult to endure today's heavy snowfall. Therefore, some people were temporarily transferred from the inspection department and the barracks to bury the dead in the place, so that the snow would not melt into the plague, and there were still people to be placed. ”

Fang Xin glanced at the soldiers who were dispatched, his face was a little gloomy, and he said after a while: "Are there a lot of refugees?" Isn't there a placement? ”

Ji Du said: "My lord, there are tens of thousands of refugees, who rushed in before the snow, and the original preparations were already insufficient. These. It is still the affected refugees, and if it is the mainland, there are even more! ”

Zhang Zhuo's heart sank. Hurriedly said: "My lord, the subordinate is guilty, and without the approval of the adult, he privately asked the sergeant who patrolled the camp to help clean up." ”

Hearing this, Fang Xin raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It's okay, it should be like this, I'll go back to the shogunate and get some more regulations." ”

This is not shouted in the barracks, but patrolled in the streets, and only participated, which is not a big crime.

Fang Xin returned to the shogunate, and saw Shen Xuan just come in, and hurriedly bowed his hand, Fang Xin waved his hand, climbed the stairs, and said, "I was looking for you, how did the shogunate deal with this refugee?" ”

Shen Xuan saw that Fang Xin's face was a little unfavorable, so he said: "My lord, this temporary influx of tens of thousands of refugees is indeed difficult to deal with for a while, but I already have some bills, and I ask my lord to look at it." ”

Fang Xin glanced at him, his complexion became calm, and said, "Then let's go in!" ”

In the council hall, someone had already lit a stove early, and everyone who went in suddenly felt warm, Fang Xin motioned for him to sit down, and picked up the papers.

In the past ten years, Shen Xuan has handled political affairs quite well, and this document is well organized, how much food is needed, how many people are needed, how many places are needed, and how to manage them are all clear, and there is no fault with it.

"Okay, so be it!" After reading it, Fang Xin put the document on the case, and said with a smile: "Today's heavy snowfall, tens of thousands of displaced people, and it has been handled well, so let's handle it accordingly!" ”

"Yes, Lord!"

Fang Xin picked up the pen and approved the document on it, and at this time, there was a palm seal official, took out the governor's seal, stamped it, and the matter was decided.

After writing, Fang Xin thought for a while and said, "Who is the person who went out of the camp to patrol today?" When the matter is over, a reward of one hundred taels of silver, ten sticks, as for Ji Du and Zhang Zhuo, they will each be fined one month. ”

As soon as this disposition came out, Shen Xuan felt a lot in his heart, he came to see it, and knew that there was a taboo in the private barracks, but this was a move to love the people, he didn't expect Fang Xin to be so keen, so he had to respond.

is also secretly glad that if it is a private transfer of troops, then even if it is to appease the displaced people, it will be punished.

Fang Xin ignored his thoughts, just sat and looked at other documents, especially some relatively secret documents and information, and after a while, he asked: "Looking at the information, Donggan Province, Quanjiang Province, and Lunan Province have all snowed?" What is your judgment on this? ”

"Yes, we are already late here, originally, it is snowing at this time, but it is Ruixue, Ruixue spring rain, tomorrow is abundant, but now there are many wars, many places have been destroyed, this snow not only did not come next year's harvest, but also made many poor people frozen and hungry, no, we and other remote places, there will also be these displaced people." Speaking of this, Shen Xuan said calmly.

Fang Xin listened, read a few more documents, paced back and forth in this small room, the snow outside was falling very heavily, so quiet that you could hear the sound of snow flakes falling to the ground, and from time to time there were shouts of dealing with the homeless people on the street, Fang Xin pondered for a long time before he said: "Mr. Shen, do you think the time is ripe now?" ”

"Lord, of course, it is not mature, the two-hundred-year-old foundation of Great Chu, although it is now close to collapse, but after all, there is no great chaos, the kings raised troops and fought against Gao Mingtong, and they are indeed cutting down the foundation of the tree of Great Chu, but it has not yet been cut down - although the displaced people are everywhere, they have not yet attacked the city and plundered the land on a large scale." Shen Xuan said without thinking.

"Oh, there's got to be a massive siege?"

"Yes, Lord, think about it, as magistrates, as nobles and nobles in the world, when will they really recognize the new lord? It is because of the fact that these displaced people are everywhere, large-scale siege of the city and plundering the land, they don't care what family, what scholars, what Sven, they have always plundered food and money to get fast, only then will they welcome the new master, so to speak, this is the trouble of the community, but also the opportunity of the community. ”

"The trouble of the community, the opportunity of the society!" Fang Xin chewed, his eyes lit up, and he nodded and said: "If that's the case, although there is a big war now, but the world's noble clans are not suffering from it, can you obey me?" ”

"Yes, Lord, where can a new tree stand on top of the heavens and the earth in the midst of the intertwined roots? It's not the right time! "Shen Xuan studied the art of emperor and dragon slayer, and what he saw became more and more profound and practical.

"However, at this time, the number of displaced people is everywhere, but it is also the time when the Lord uses strategies and strategies."

"Oh, how?"

"At this time, there are already millions of displaced people, and the world is not really in chaos, so it is feasible for the Lord to send some backbones to go deep into the area of the chaotic people, and immediately gather tens of thousands of people to attack the city and seize the land."

As soon as this policy came out, Fang Xin was shocked, and immediately remembered the policy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to win the world.

The Manchu Qing dragged the imperial court, and with the emptiness of the interior, they sent people to contact the Jin merchants, and also sent people to go deep into the rebel army to cooperate with the uprising, so that the Ming Dynasty continued to revolt and exhausted the remaining vitality.

As for some things on the earth, the base area and the guerrillas are really similar, of course, there is no need to say more, Fang Xin suddenly sighed, and asked again: "What if those who go out, like eagles leaving their nests and tigers entering the mountains, can't be controlled?" ”

"The king can choose more people who have family members, and then a team of several people will control each other, and again in batches without knowing each other, so that they must be controlled from afar, and besides, the civil chaos will not succeed in the end, and open the way for Allah, and the Lord will become a dragon, and he will sweep the four seas and devour the world, even if they are enemies in different days, are they still afraid that they will not be able to defeat them at that time?"

When Fang Xin heard this, he immediately laughed, indeed, in this era, under the constraints of communication and technological conditions, it is impossible to establish a base at all, but even so, he said at the moment: "That's true!" ”

After speaking, on the table, thinking intently, writing, Shen Xuan hurriedly stepped back to show that he did not dare to watch.

All that Fang Xin wrote was a request, and no one who could govern the country should be sent, and those who could govern the army and knew how to be a general and more in politics were not sent at all, and all those who were young, reckless, and had some military knowledge and were very low-level people - these people happened to become the leaders of the exiled land or their generals, and they exerted their destructive power to the extreme.

With this principle, it can be used naturally, and after writing in one go, he put down the pen with satisfaction, and smiled: "Then I will do it immediately, this is the dark way, what about the bright way?" ”
