Chapter 687: Saving Hanmin
Located in the south of Liaoyang Province, the Chima Mine is the largest iron mine in Liao, close to the Liao River, after reaching an agreement with Japan the year before last to exchange pig iron for warships, Liao State forcibly recruited 100,000 Han people from Youzhou Prefecture and Liaoyang Prefecture, and organized them into artisan households, specializing in mining ore and smelting pig iron in Chima Mine.

In a wilderness south of the Chima Mine, there is a camp that stretches for more than ten miles, here is the artisan camp, 100,000 miners and their families live here, there are a total of ten artisan camps, surrounded by a fence, and there are watchtowers and 10,000 soldiers guarded, once the artisans flee and are caught, they will be beheaded on the spot.
The living conditions in the artisan camp were very bad, with garbage everywhere, excrement and urine, and a foul smell, which was actually a concentration camp, with hundreds of thousands of people living in 10 large camps, surrounded by large fields of farmland, and the families of artisan households farming in the fields to maintain a very difficult life.
On this morning, a huge fleet suddenly appeared on the wide Liao River, this fleet is hundreds of ships, most of them are 10,000 stone ships, in the first 20,000 stone ship, hanging a huge yellow dragon flag, this is the fleet of the Song Dynasty.
The women and old men who were farming ran to the shore, and more and more people ran towards the river, and for a while, the river was full of artisans.
I don't know who shouted, "It's the fleet of the Song Dynasty!" ”
"It's the fleet of the Song Dynasty!"
The people on the shore immediately cheered.
Yelulai, the chief general of the Liao army guarding the prisoner of war camp, was shocked, and there were only 3,000 people stationed in Liaoyang Mansion, and once the Song army attacked Liaoyang Mansion, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He didn't care about guarding the artisan camp, so he hurriedly ordered the army to assemble, evacuated the artisan camp, and 10,000 troops rushed to Liaoyang City, fifty miles away.
Tokyo Province originally had 110,000 troops, in addition to 80,000 died at the bottom of the sea, 10,000 troops guarded the craftsman's household, and the remaining 20,000 troops were stationed in various big cities, among which Baozhou City and Xuanzhou City on the Yalu River were the most garrisoned, each with 5,000 people, mainly to defend against the northern invasion of the Koreans, and the remaining 10,000 troops were stationed in Liaoyang Mansion, Huanglong Mansion, Zhenhai Mansion, Laiyuan City, Shenzhou, Fuzhou and other places, and the troops were very empty.
In the Tokyo Left-behind Mansion in Liaoyang City, Xiao Weixin, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, was writing an urgent letter to Yelu Hongji, the Son of Heaven, at the table, and he received news that a Song Dynasty fleet was exterminating various Khitan Shengfan tribes along the Heihe River in the north, and at least twenty tribes had been destroyed, and the garrison of Huanglongfu was only 3,000 people, which was difficult to rescue.
On the one hand, Xiao Weixin urgently sent people to inform the other Khitan tribes to evacuate, and on the other hand, he asked the Son of Heaven to send troops to reinforce Tokyo Province.
Xiao Wei was very worried in his confidence, after the 80,000 army was wiped out, he successively wrote letters to the Xi and Bohai tribes to ask for more troops, but they were ruthlessly refused, his current 30,000 troops to defend Goryeo, to guard the miners, the remaining little army is simply unable to guard the major cities of Tokyo Road, once the Song soldiers go north, how can such a little army hold Liaoyang Mansion?
At this moment, someone outside hurriedly reported: "Qi Qi Privy Envoy, the big thing is not good!" ”
"What happened?" Xiao Weixin stopped and asked.
"There is a fleet of Song army ships on the Liao River, the scale is huge, at least a few hundred, and it is heading towards Liaoyang City!"
"Ahh
Xiao Weixin was taken aback, there were only three thousand defenders in Liaoyang City, how could he hold it, he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly order General Yelulai to immediately lead the army to withdraw to Liaoyang City." ”
Although there is no one to guard the miners, there will be chaos, but at this moment, Xiao Weixin can't take care of it, first hold Liaoyang Mansion, and everything else can be abandoned.
The messenger said yes and walked away quickly.
Xiao Wei's confidence burned like fire, handed the letter to his entourage and sent it, and he immediately climbed to the head of the West City and looked into the distance.
The Liao River does not flow directly through Liaoyang City, but there is a tributary flowing through the edge of Liaoyang City, the weather is fine, dozens of miles away in the distance, the Liao River can be faintly seen, but there are no hundreds of Song army warships, it is estimated that it has not yet arrived.
At this moment, a soldier came to report, "Privy envoy, General Yelulai has led his army to Liaoyang City, and will arrive soon." ”
Xiao Weixin suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, Yelulai's army arrived, and Liaoyang Mansion could almost hold it.
.........
But the Song army had no plans to attack Liaoyang Province, hundreds of ships were moored on the shore, and hundreds of thousands of Han people were willing to follow the Song army out of Liao.
The shore was crowded with people, and the black pressure could not be seen at a glance, hundreds of thousands of people dragged their families to line up to board the ship, and one after another large ships were full of people, turning around and sailing towards the Liaodong Peninsula.
The Liao garrison on the Liaoyang Peninsula was only 2,000 people, and it was still Zhenhai Mansion in the northeast, and there were almost no troops stationed in the south, and the Song army captured the southernmost tip of the peninsula and used it as a transit.
It is impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to be transported at one time, and with the maximum volume, it must be divided into at least two times.
Soon the spies of the Liao army discovered the Song army's attempt and rushed back to Liaoyang Mansion to report.
At this time, the head of Liaoyang City was full of Liao troops, and a large number of defense materials were carried to the head of the city, Xiao Weixin got the news of the spies, and the Song army did not go north to attack the city, but transported a large number of Han people from the mines.
Yelulai said in a low voice: "It is better to lead a strange army and attack the warships of the Song army." ”
Xiao Weixin shook his head, "Since the Song army is heading north, how can they be defenseless, your army can't sneak attack them, don't act rashly!" ”
"But all the slaves were taken away, and no one mined anymore!"
Xiao Weixin sighed slightly, "Now Tokyo Road is full of holes, extremely weak, there is a Song army in the north, and the Song army in the south is also killed, at this time we must be sober, what is important, what is second-class, what can be put down a little, Tokyo Liaoyang City is the most important, other cities are second-class and second-class, Hanmin can be put aside a little, for the Song army, maybe Hanmin is the most important, but it is by no means for us, General Yelu must understand this." ”
"I understand the humble position, the first important thing is to defend Liaoyang City."
Xiao Weixin nodded, "As long as we hold Liaoyang City, we can explain to the Son of Heaven." ”
.........
In three days, the Song army transported all 100,000 Han households with hundreds of large ships, and also plundered 2 million catties of pig iron and 700,000 catties of blister copper ingots from the warehouse.
Five days later, the first batch of 150,000 Han people of the Liao State arrived in Dengzhou by boat, and the Great Song Dynasty court had already prepared, and hundreds of thousands of Han people of the Liao State were temporarily resettled in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and dozens of temporary camps were set up outside Penglai County in Dengzhou and Yexian County in Laizhou, and 300,000 stone grain and 200,000 pieces of cloth were transported, and Han Jiang of Xiangguo was fully responsible for the resettlement of the Han people of Liao.
In a pavilion on the sea, Han Jiang looked at the big ship in the distance, and when he saw several officials next to him talking in a low voice, he asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
An official bowed down and said, "We are saying, is it too expensive for the imperial court to accept these hundreds of thousands of Han people with such a large amount of money this time?" ”
Han Jiang shook his head, "It's not their fault that these Han people have become Liao, although they are Liao, they are brutally oppressed by the Liao, so they call themselves Han'er and miss their homeland, if we don't save them, then who cares if they live or die?" ”
Dengzhou Governor Yang Kai and Laizhou Governor Deng Wenyang cautiously asked: "May I ask Han Xianggong, we just set up a temporary camp, so where are they finally settled?" ”
Han Jiang thought for a while and said: "Most of them should go back to Youzhou, and the other part is ready to mobilize to the Southern Continent, this is just the preliminary idea of the imperial court, but you can rest assured, we will not stay in Laizhou or Dengzhou, what we have to do is to ensure stability during the transition period, which will take two officials hard." ”
"I will do my best to resettle the victims!"
At this time, the first batch of ships began to slowly dock, and the long planks were put on the barge, and Hermes-Epitek began to carry them ashore.
"Let's go! Let's take a look. ”
Han Jiang led the officials and walked towards the people.
Many old people came ashore and fell to their knees and wept bitterly, and they finally returned to their homeland, to the land where their parents and ancestors were buried.
Han Jiang stepped forward to comfort these poor old men and asked the soldiers to help them go to register.
The registration place is on the wharf, and hundreds of state and county bachelors are responsible for registration, all of which are registered according to each household, previous residence, place of origin, name of the head of household, age, occupation and family composition.
For each registered household, a wooden sign was given with the camp number and account number on it, and then the first boatload of 200 households was gathered, and several officials took them to the camp.
An official shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, please look at the sign in your hand, it doesn't matter if you can't read, it doesn't matter if you can't read, it is painted with five big tents, that is the fifth battalion, everyone please follow me!" ”
Hundreds of families with their children and the elderly walked to a large camp a few miles away, many of them eating and walking, and when they got off the boat, each of them was given two steamed buns to temporarily feed the people's hunger.
Each camp is composed of nearly thousands of big tents, and the fifth big camp is the same, everyone walks into the empty big camp, they can't help but let out an exclamation, the big tent is very wide, I don't know how many times better than the small tent of the artisan camp where they lived before, thousands of big tents are neatly arranged, orderly, and the ground is very clean and tidy.
"Everyone go to each big account according to the account number on the brand, if you don't know the number, please come here, we will help you check."
The people were anxious to look for their tents, and dozens of ordinary people, who did not know how to count, surrounded several officials, and asked questions, all of them with anxious faces, and the officials identified the numbers on the signs, and called the soldiers, and asked each soldier to take a family to their respective tents.
