Chapter 134: Relocation to Leiden
During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Xuande crossed the river with the people, 100,000 old and weak only traveled more than ten miles a day, Cao Cao doubled the road, and the light cavalry ran for more than 300 miles in one day and one night, and almost beat Liu Bei's entire army was annihilated.
In the former battle of the Hutuo River, the Jingbei Army was also caught up by Duoduo and suffered heavy losses.
The so-called Yin Jian is not far away, and Li Xingzhi cannot make the same mistake again, so on the second day of the evacuation of the Gangfeng battalion, Li Xingzhi convened all the civil and military forces to discuss how to relocate the people.
As for what Li Xingzhi meant, Lu Liangzhi and the others knew very well in their hearts that if the Jingbei Army wanted to evacuate, they would leave with the Gangfeng Battalion yesterday, which must be to move the people in the city to Leiden.
So before Li Xingzhi spoke, Lu Liangzhi said: "Li Shuai wants to move the people of Jinan, in fact, it is not difficult, just inform the whole city, and say that the Dongyu has passed the Qing Dynasty, and naturally the people can be moved away, the key is that these 100,000 people, the daily consumption of grain and straw needs 1,000 stones, even if they have food at home, it is not enough to use." In addition, when they arrive in Leiden, they have to deal with their accommodation, seeds, and food, which if not handled properly, will cause resentment among the people. ”
"That's not a problem! As long as they arrive in Dengzhou safely, all the supplies, Ben Shuai is out, tell the people to go with Ben Shuai, there will be a bite to eat, if they are unwilling, Ben Shuai will not be reluctant. ”
Li Xingzhi has grown up in Jinan this time, and it is only right to spend some money and grain to appease the people and win the hearts and minds of the people in Shandong.
Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, although Li Xingzhi has not yet had the ambition to seize the world, but he still has the intention of taking the opportunity to win the hearts of the people in Shandong, otherwise he would have followed Li Zicheng's mother's example.
Of course, Li Xingzhi is not trying to win over those people who have the right to speak, nor are they the people who are said by the court, let alone those who have mastered the pen and criticize the court and the people all day long.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, under the great changes unseen in 300 years, Li Xingzhi wanted to cultivate a new group, and the goal of this group was to lead the Han people to plunder the South Seas, Africa, and America, rather than digging in the Ming Dynasty.
Lu Liangzhi groaned: "Li Shuai, after the official arrived in Jinan, I heard that Leiden had rebelled through Kong Rebellion, and the people's livelihood was extremely withered, except for the hundreds of years of young and beautiful women who were robbed by Kong Rebellion as a camp prostitute, hundreds of thousands of Dengzhou people were slaughtered by Kong Youde, the corpses filled the moat, blocked the river, and the blood of the people floated all over the signboard of the store, it was really a bloody flow!" ”
"So it's impossible for us to collect enough money and grain from the military and civilians of Jinan to support the summer harvest in Leiden Second Mansion, and now we are actually going to Leiden to open up wasteland."
According to Lu Liangzhi, these nearly 150,000 people must rely on the money and grain intercepted from the Dewang Mansion to support the harvest next summer, but in that case, the plan to train new soldiers and form a naval division will be delayed for more than half a year.
Li Xingzhi pondered for a long time and said: "This marshal moved the people to Leiden, and those who plan to protect the people are also, if you can't keep the people, what is the difference between the people and the beasts?" Li Youcai, you go and gather the rich gentry in the city, and say that Ben Shuai will be in the governor's yamen tonight, and invite them to the banquet. ”
Following the example of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, Li Xingzhi is naturally disdainful, and for the rich gentry class, it is nothing more than giving them virtue, intimidating them with power, and using butcher knives to make them willingly take out money and grain.
"Subordinates receive orders! Then I went back to the prefect's yamen to handle these two things. ”
Li Youcai hurriedly got up, to be honest, Li Youcai has been in charge of Jinan Mansion these days, and he also knows about the rich gentry and businessmen in the city, there are about sixty or seventy households, if it is really a barrage, there is no problem in getting one million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver, he originally thought that Li Xingzhi would follow the example of the Dewang Mansion and rob it, and Li Xingzhi actually wanted to extort money.
Lu Liang bowed his head and said: "What Li Shuai said is that my Jingbei Army is grass-created, and Shandong is a sage township, if we want to make a difference, we still have to give preferential treatment to scholars, only with the support of scholars, then our Jingbei Army is naturally invincible." ”
"What Mr. Lu said is that you and Li Youcai will also go with you to deal with the relocation of the people and the gathering of the gentry!"
Li Xingzhi was noncommittal, Lu Liangzhi's remarks represented the voice of the scholars of this era, it is okay to rob the prince, but it is not okay to rob the gentry, which is almost putting the gentry class above the imperial power.
In Li Xingzhi's view, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to fooling the people, the court and the gentry who had made a name for themselves had long lost their Confucian heart, and they kept saying that they were for the country and the people, but most of them were extremely egoists.
Of course, Li Xingzhi did not have the time and ability to deal with Confucian affairs for the time being, so he had to stabilize the basic situation of Laizhou and Dengzhou before considering it.
After Li Youcai and Lu Liang returned to the prefect's yamen, they issued a notice again.
"Bell, bell, bell......!"
At the Huibo Gate in the north of the city, there was a rapid sound of gongs, and the clerks of several government offices with more than a dozen officials sounded the gongs and posted notices at the same time.
After the Jingbei army entered the city, it had already issued several notices, either to settle the people, or to levy young and strong, and now it has issued a notice, and the people near the north gate were quickly attracted to it.
As the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, the place where people gather in the world, Jinan is not like Gaoyang, at least the literacy rate is far more than Baoding, and soon someone will read the list of texts.
It's okay not to read it, but after reading two sentences, the north gate exploded.
"Chen Xiucai, Dongyu is coming to Shandong? It can't be, right? Isn't Beizhili enough for them to grab? Do you want to run to Shandong to grab it? Besides, Li Dashuai is not very capable of fighting, the battle of Gaoyang, but he cut more than a thousand Tartars. ”
The anxious people listened to half of it, so they hurriedly consulted a bookstore under the list.
Chen Xiucai's real name is Chen Zongwang, and he didn't get into the birth until he was more than fifty years old, so he broke off the idea of the imperial examination and reincarnated in the government to fill a bookstore.
Seeing that the people were curious, Chen Xiucai sighed and said: "Li Dashuai has just received an eight-hundred-mile expedited from Linqing, and the Donglu has completely annihilated the Xuanda army of the national dynasty in Julu, and defeated the Guanning army, and now the main force is attacking and advancing to Linqing and Dezhou, Li Dashuai has few soldiers and can not fight against the Donglu, so he has to lead the army to evacuate Jinan, and I am afraid that our Jinan people will suffer, so we want to go to Leiden with him." ”
"Ahh
The people behind were stunned on the spot, this time the East captives entered Kou Jinggi, they received the news, according to rumors, the Tartars can come more than 100,000 people this time, if they go to Jinan, where is there a way to live?
"Go home and pack up your things, the Tartars are here to slaughter the city, I heard that the Tartars over there in Beizhili have slaughtered dozens of counties."
"Leiden was harmed by Kong Wei before, and now there is no one in ten people, could it be that the general army of Leiden deliberately intimidated us and asked us to move to Leiden?"
After the onlookers were shocked, they discussed it with you and me.
Chen Xiucai obviously expected this scene, cleared his throat and said: "Li Dashuai is rare for you cowards who can't eat enough, and people didn't force you to join the army, Li Dashuai, who is willing to leave, will provide food, and if you don't want to, you will fend for yourself in Jinan!" ”
