"Brother Huang, according to the little sister, this is not worth your anger, your current treatment of the Heshuo refugees is not very appropriate, now the refugees gathered in the western border area of Zhongzhou have exceeded 500,000, and they continue to grow, you use the army to block them on the periphery of Yanjing, that is only an expedient measure, after a long time, it will definitely cause turmoil, which will directly affect the situation in Yanjing City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and now there are many people who have a lot of complaints about your handling of this matter, look at Li Wufeng's play in Tianshui, this has greatly won the hearts of these Heshuo refugees, and even many gentry in Yanjing City are gradually changing their views on Li Wufeng, Xiaomei suggests that you still follow Li Wufeng's example to establish a refugee camp on the outskirts of Yanjing City to win people's hearts, anyway, Li Wufeng's first batch of food will come soon, just to use it for emergency relief. Situ Yushuang couldn't help but interrupt his brother's words, and now he is still complaining about the sky, it is useless, it is better to think about countermeasures early.

"Thirteenth sister, you said it easily, even if Li Wufeng sells the second batch of grain to the empire, but as you said, next year's summer harvest is unknown, we still have to continue to reserve grain, and now the price of grain in Yanjing is close to thirty gold coins per quintal, and at a price lower than half of the market price, ten million quintals of grain will also cost us 150 million gold coins. If the East China Sea or Jiangnan are still in our hands, this money may not be nothing, but now that the East China Sea has been lost, and the war in Jiangnan has started, we don't know when the curtain will end, it is estimated that even if the war is over, it is unlikely that we will provide much financial support to the central government of the empire, and it is already very good that the third brother and the sixth brother on the side of the Five Lakes do not reach out to the empire, where else can we count on? How can the financial revenue of a central state support the army of six legions and so many officials? If this continues, the foundation left in the treasury can be supported for another year at most, what should we do at this time next year?" Situ Lang can't take care of it at this time, he doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are, only by sitting in this position, can you really know that this position is not something that ordinary people can sit firmly in front of their own siblings. Situ Langsuo's surname was directly picked out, and his true background was revealed to Situ Yushuang.

Sighing lightly, Situ Yutang looked at his elder brother who had aged a lot after being tossed by a series of troubles after ascending the throne, and said faintly: "Brother Jiu, but have you ever thought about it, if you let go of these tens of millions of refugees, this will undoubtedly give others a better target, how will the eldest brother attack you? As the emperor of the empire, he doesn't even care about the life and death of the people under his rule, so is he still qualified to be the emperor?" I am afraid that this kind of remarks will soon fill the streets and alleys of Yanjing, and if they are used by people with good intentions, the storm will be enough to overturn any big ship! Not to mention that so many refugees cannot be stopped, and once a riot is triggered, it will have an even more negative impact on us, so we must settle down this group of refugees first no matter what. The food problem is now solved by Li Wufeng, and I think we can ignore it for the time being, but the plague epidemic in the Heshuo area has to be prevented. ”

"Yes, the plague is spreading in the Heshuo area, I heard that many people have died, if these refugees are allowed to pour into Yanjing, once the plague epidemic in Yanjing is triggered, it will be unimaginable. Situ Lang hurriedly answered, and in his heart he was still unwilling to accept this group of refugees.

"It is not feasible to let the refugees into Yanjing, but we can follow Li Wufeng's example and resettle them in the western suburbs of Yanjing, and send more doctors to boil medicinal herbs to strengthen epidemic prevention and prevent the spread of the plague. Xiaomei is still thinking about another problem, now the actions of the Kaman people are undoubtedly affected by their domestic food shortage, it is estimated that they are forced to loot in Heshuo like this, it seems that they will not stay in Heshuo for long, and this drought throughout the entire Eastern Continent has affected the entire Liberian countries, and even the Kingdom of Doton has to temporarily give up the war with the Japanese people because of food problems. Xiaomei deduced that the Kamans might shrink their defenses, or even abandon Longquan and Montenegro, and withdraw their control area to the Qinghe line, and now that the Taiping Rebellion in Heshuo has obviously lost the ability to control the situation in this area, if we can quickly gather intelligence to confirm this, then can we take the opportunity to recover Heshuo?"

Situ Yushuang's idea seemed to come too suddenly, so that Situ Lang didn't even react at once, just now he was still anxious about how to deal with the refugees, and now he actually wants to recover Heshuo in one fell swoop, this role change is a little too fast.

"Recover Heshuo?" asked rhetorically, Situ Lang was stunned for a while before he said: "Thirteenth sister, I'm afraid this won't work, Heshuo is a mess, even if we can drive out the Taiping Rebellion, but what can we use to appease the people? We don't have food, medicinal herbs, and all kinds of daily necessities, not to mention the Kaman people who are eyeing the tiger, the combat effectiveness of the army in our hands, you also know that doing so is undoubtedly a fire!"

Situ Lang shook his head again and again, obviously unable to accept this plan that was too bold and advanced.

"The Kamans don't have to worry, they shouldn't have the energy to meddle in their affairs for the time being, otherwise they won't behave like this in Montenegro and Longquan, as for food, medicinal herbs and daily necessities, we can find a way to buy them from Li Wufeng, under the big hat of national righteousness and imperial interests, Li Wufeng will not be willing to risk the disapproval of the world. The corners of Situ Yushuang's mouth curled slightly, and he was cold, "I know this guy, he values the will of the people more than anything else, and at this time, it is the time for us to play the role of the orthodox center of our empire." ”

"But what if he uses all kinds of means to delay, prevaricate and even refuse?" asked Situ Lang.

"That's better, the responsibility is not on the Empire's side, but on Li Wufeng's side. We can go to Luzon, Komini and other places to buy grain, we only need to let Li Wufeng get out of the way, if he intends to make things difficult, it will only make him infamous on his back, even if he doesn't make things difficult, we can still let him carry the black pot. In order to avoid suspicion, he is afraid that he will have to do everything possible to maintain the safety of our grain purchase channel from the Central Mainland. Situ Yushuang looked at the west, "In addition, after careful observation and analysis, the little sister feels that the seventeenth sister may not have completely thrown herself into Li Wufeng as we imagined, if she can be allowed to return to the western frontier, she may be able to play an unexpected role, at least in order to solve the problems of Heshuo refugees, she can help us speak confidently, after all, this will not harm Li Wufeng's interests, but also help the empire resolve difficulties, she should be able to do it." ”

Situ Lang was indeed a little moved by Situ Yushuang's plan.

The sacking of the Kamans in Montenegro and Longquan caused outrage, although this was a helpless move, but it also proved that the Kamans were also worried about logistics, especially the food problem, when Montenegro and Longquan had become worthless plague epidemic places, it was unlikely that the Kamans would stay in these two places, and it was very likely that they would withdraw to Qinghe, the stronghold of their southern invasion.

And judging from the information obtained now, Hejian and Jinzhong have fallen into a full-scale turmoil, and Situ Lang's information is naturally much more accurate and detailed than his sister-in-law. The Taiping army assembled between Jinzhong and Hehe was already in a predicament, and the upper echelons of the Taiping army, who were short of food and medicine, obviously did not estimate the severity of this food shortage and the huge crisis it brought, and in order to fill their stomachs, the refugees and displaced people had gathered unscrupulously to loot everywhere.

Originally, the Heshuo area that had been swept away by the Taiping sect did not have much for these mob groups to rob, and later, more and more mobs have gradually turned their targets to the Taiping army, which still has some savings, and developed from a small-scale sneak attack to openly attack the Taiping army to snatch food, a big riot that swept the entire Heshuo area firmly shocked the Taiping army that was already disheartened, especially since a considerable number of soldiers of the Taiping army were from Heshuo locality, this trend developed, and the rule of the Taiping army in Heshuo is estimated to be really difficult to maintain for too long。

Groaning and turning in circles in the study, Situ Lang's hand rubbed lightly under his chin, this is an opportunity, of course, there is also a considerable risk, although the city guard corps in his hands has been replenished, but the combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened, and it is also the main force guarding the western pass of Yanjing, and the combat effectiveness of the third and fourth legions is really a little disappointing, and the eighth and ninth legions dare not place their hopes, so that they can't believe that they are absolutely sure to defeat the Taiping army in one fell swoop. I really hope that the Taiping army will collapse on its own, but such a fantasy is somewhat unrealistic.

"Thirteenth sister, do you think the other legions in our hands other than the City Guard Legion and the Praetorian Guard Legion are sure to completely defeat the current Taiping Army?" Situ Lang was still not very sure after thinking about it, and finally wanted his sister to make a prediction for himself.

"Brother Huang, it seems that this question should not be answered by the little sister. Xiaomei is just giving you a reference suggestion, whether it is feasible or not, you should go and discuss with your military minister, maybe the Duke of Jilin can give you a satisfactory answer. However, I heard that the Fourth Army seems to have greatly improved its combat effectiveness recently, and although the commander of the regiment is a recognized waste, the deputy commander seems to have some ability, and I heard that the first division he brought out was able to fight the Carmantian rangers, and no matter what the results were, at least daring to fight proved that this unit was not a pussy. ”

Situ Yushuang's casual remarks made Situ Lang overjoyed, he himself didn't know about this situation, but if this was the case, it undoubtedly gave him a choice, who had been suffering from not having a good general in his hands.
