After finishing speaking, Huang Shi glanced at all the officers and gave them some time to digest: "Is there any more problem?"

"No, sir. The voice rang out.

"Very good, the gentlemen went to give a briefing to the soldiers, and all the thousands of generals went to observe, and if there was any uncertainty, they immediately corrected it, and then the pro-soldiers went to give a briefing to the soldiers, and the general observer. ”

The briefing time was very long, but Huangshi was not in a hurry at all, everything was difficult at the beginning, and after this system became a habit, it was easy.

This time the intelligence was investigated very carefully, Li Rui had been monitoring this village for a long time, and the population was very clear. And the grain and hay in this village have not yet been handed in, it is very fat, and it is well worth a bite.

All three hundred soldiers finally got on board, and the ship sailed quietly to the target, staying on the surface of the sea until the planned time before approaching the shore. The boat first sent He Baodao's strikers ashore, then Jin Qiude's team, and then Yang Zhiyuan's team......

By the time Huangshi reached the target, the Ming army had already taken control of the village, and gathered the people in the middle of the village, waiting for Huangshi to come and speak.

Several old men were led over by Yang Zhiyuan, and as soon as they saw Huang Shi, they knelt on the ground: "The general spares his life." ”

Huang Shi instructed He Baodao and Yang Zhiyuan not to reveal the purpose of this operation, so the reaction of these fathers did not surprise him at all, he took a step forward to help the current old man: "Old man, please get up, we are the princes of the imperial court." ”

"We small people, look forward to the king's master for a long time," several old men immediately exchanged tears and bowed to the southwest together: "Your Majesty, ......"

Huang Shi had no choice but to bow with them twice, and several old men made a fuss, turned around and asked Huang Shi: "The general needs grain and grass?" Although my village is poor, I am willing to offer forty stones of grain and five fat pigs. ”

......

Although he had known that such a scenario might occur, the attitude of the villagers still disappointed Huangshi, and he fantasized that he could be regarded as a liberator by the elders of Liaodong.

Disappointment is disappointment, and serious things still have to be done. Huang Shi said in the softest tone: "This general is ordered by the general army of Pingliao to move the coastal residents to the island, a few old people, the slaves are murderous, or come with us." ”

Several old men looked at each other for a moment, and then fell to the ground together, and the old man in the lead replied: "General, we have lived here for generations. This way out to the sea drifting, winter is approaching and there is no house to keep out the cold, a few of our old bones are not a pity, but there are newborn babies in the village, there are women in confinement. Ask the general for mercy. ”

The old man's voice was full of bitter sounds, and the sound of "General Kai'en" rang endlessly, and these people who were old enough to be Huangshi's grandfather kowtowed desperately, and blood flowed from their foreheads all over their faces.

Yang Zhiyuan, who was behind him, shouted: "You are originally a son of the imperial court, so the imperial court asked us to pick you up, why would you rather pay for service to Jiannu than return to the rule of the imperial court?"

The leader was probably the village chief, after he heard Yang Zhiyuan's question, he didn't dare to make a sound and just kowtowed to Huangshi, and an old man behind him said tremblingly: "General, my village is a good citizen, and I have never been in arrears of imperial grain for generations, and the fields outside the village are all handed down from my ancestors, so I dare not give it up." ”

The other also had the courage to continue: "This general is so powerful, the recovery of his hometown is just around the corner, we will stay here, do not let the land be barren, and then we can give the general food." ”

Although it is not the best result imagined, but Huangshi must also take them away, Changsheng Island is in ruins, and it is in urgent need of manpower and material resources, not to mention leaving this village behind, it can provide Houjin with at least 200 stone of grain and a few hundred catties of hay a year.

"I can understand the feelings of your fathers, but this general has an order, so I have to do it. Huang Shi apologized in a low voice, and then shouted to the people of the village: "Please go back and clean up, the general's subordinates will help you carry the household belongings, and leave in two hours." ”

As it got dark, the villagers seemed to have mostly resigned themselves to their fate, and began to tie up their farming tools and tie them to the backs of their animals. Hundreds of soldiers carried torches outside the village, forming a tight blockade. The soldiers in the village started to help the villagers pack the grain and hay and prepare to transport them away, and the villagers attached no less importance to the hay than the grain, without which they could not survive the cold winter.

Yellowstone stood in the darkness with his hands behind his back, his eyes completely obscured by the shadow of his helmet, and looked at the tumultuous village without saying a word. Yang Zhiyuan hurriedly came, saluted Huangshi and began to report: "My subordinates have made a rough inventory, and there are thirty-five strong men, eleven cows, and more than 100 people in this village. With 500 stone of grain, more than 2,000 catties of hay, and hundreds of farm tools, our army has gained a lot of money. ”

"If my army doesn't come, how much grain will they have to hand over to Jiannu?" asked Huang Shi in an emotionless tone.

"The tax prescribed by Jiannu is*, which is three hundred stone of grain. ”

"Does each household survive on ten stone of food?"

"It's just that they can't die of hunger, and besides, they can always hunt some small beasts and dig up some wild fruits and vegetables. Yang Zhiyuan vaguely guessed what Huang Shi was thinking, so he chuckled: "They moved to the island, and they can get more food." ”

"Winter is coming, the snow is about to fall, and we have to sweep a lot of villages. Huang Shi seemed to be whispering to himself: "I don't know if the makeshift thatched hut can keep them out of the cold, it will be very cold this winter, I hope it won't freeze to death for the elderly and children." ”

The island's tools are scarce and the main daily work is heavy, so the existing houses are still very rudimentary. Huang Shi's question made Yang Zhiyuan stunned for a moment, but he immediately said: "When I go back, my subordinates will immediately organize manpower to cut down trees, build houses and collect firewood." ”

This optimistic remark made Huangshi laugh dryly again, if there were so many manpower, the Huangshi bandits would not need to relocate residents here. This operation can net more than 200 stone of grain, but I don't know how many lives are needed for each stone of grain.

"My lord, our army is also forced to do so. Yang Zhiyuan finally said something in his heart.

"Not bad. It was indeed a last resort. Huang Shi repeated softly, but his tone was very unsteady.

At this moment, Jin Qiude came over angrily, and hurriedly arched his hand: "My lord, there are ten old men, who say that they won't leave, and their subordinates can't use force, please show me." ”

After Huang Shi came over, the old man, who was already paralyzed on the ground and did not move, struggled to kneel up again: "General, the grass people are already old, and they have no strength, so they are willing to wait for death here." ”
