Closing the wall, watching the gate slowly open under his own orders, and the ranks of the Ping Wei army began to enter the city one after another, Li Wei's brows kept frowning.

When Peng Li on the side saw it, he asked: "General, Bianjing's holy decree clearly said that it was 10,000 Ping Japanese troops, and the imperial court only borrowed 10,000 soldiers and horses from King Yun.

Now that we have released 20,000 soldiers and horses into the customs, will the court ......?"

Li Wei shook his head and said helplessly: "Then what can we do?" People don't say it's an auxiliary soldier, I have always had the habit of bringing auxiliary soldiers when I go out to the army, and if there are no auxiliary soldiers, I am a people's husband.

Sometimes there are more auxiliaries and civilians than regular soldiers, and people say that they are auxiliaries and that they are in accordance with the regulations, what can we do? ”

"But the 10,000 Tatars are clearly ......"

Peng Li was about to speak, but Li Wei raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay, don't say more, what do we do about the orders issued by the imperial court, as long as people can come up with a reason, we can also deal with the above, and let the group of officials in the court think about it, it has nothing to do with us.

Let's go, let's go down and meet Li Dingguo, the commander of the Ping Wa army.

I see that he is not very old, but I didn't expect that he would already receive 10,000 people under the command of King Yun, I don't know if he really has the ability or is he a straw bale? ”

After Li Wei finished speaking, he walked down the city tower first, Peng Li stood in place and his eyes flashed, and then quickly followed.

As soon as the two of them came down from the city tower, they saw Li Dingguo waiting quietly by the city gate, obviously the other party had guessed that they would come to him, so they waited here in advance.

"Hahaha, General Li has been waiting for a long time, he has been waiting for a long time, Li Wei, the guard general of Xialiaoyun Pass, was also acting as usual just now, so don't be surprised!"

Suddenly, Li Weidang took the lead and introduced himself.

Li Dingguo looked to the side, and Peng Li immediately arched his hand and said: "Peng Li, deputy general of Liaoyun Pass!" I've seen General Lee! ”

Li Dingguo immediately bowed his hand and saluted the two of them: "Li asked the name of the general of Liaoyun Pass earlier, and when I saw General Li today, he really lived up to his reputation!" ”

"Really?"

"Naturally!"

Li Dingguo is not the kind of character who doesn't know how to be flexible.

Soon chatted with Li Wei and others, and it was not until late at night that Li Dingguo left Li Wei's mansion that he gave up.

As soon as Li Dingguo left, the two who were still drunk just now immediately sobered up, looking at the direction Li Dingguo left, Peng Li said: "General, how is it?" ”

Li Wei sighed and said, "I don't know where His Royal Highness King Yun got the talent from.

I could already see from my previous communication with him that this was Ye Luzi's voice.

He has not received a systematic military general education, but he has his own set of military arts, and he has long been free from the form and has walked out of his own way.

In this way, it is a good thing that there is no systematic learning alignment. ”

After speaking, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh again: "It's a pity that such a talent actually fell into the hands of King Yun, how good would it be if he could serve the imperial court?" ”

Looking at Li Wei with a pity on his face, Peng Li secretly pouted:

"If this is on the side of the imperial court, Li Dingguo like this will not be able to get out at all.

Without a family and background, how could a mere commoner be able to enjoy the shade under the current big Song tree, and now the places under the big tree are crowded, and no one is willing to let it out. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Li Wei shook his head and sighed again, then went back to rest.

After a night of repairs, after a little replenishment of some supplies at Liaoyun Pass, Li Dingguo continued on the road with the Pingwei army.

Now that spring has begun, I am afraid that there will be no less things encountered on the road, and the road can be hurried as soon as possible on weekdays, and it is good to be able to reach northern Jiangsu as soon as possible.

The march route of the army has already been sent by the imperial court, and they directly detoured to Gaodong County after entering the customs from Liaobei County this time, and finally passed through the entire Gaodong County until they reached Xu County, the northernmost part of Subei County, and entered northern Jiangsu.

After that, the matter of pacifying the Japanese army will be decided by the general of the Pingwa army.

Therefore, after entering the customs, the Ping Wa army will not stay in Liaobei County for too long this time, and will at most stay in a city in Liaobei County for one night and then directly transfer to Gaodong County.

On the marching map, the next target city of the army is Xining City, the capital city of Xining Mansion in Liaobei County.

After retracting his gaze from the marching map and discerning the direction, Li Dingguo arrived at the front of the army and headed towards Xining Mansion with more than 20,000 people.

The journey is about a day away, and if it slows down, it may take longer.

At this time, Xining Mansion is very different from usual.

In the past, although the population of Xining Mansion was not much, there were 50,000 or 60,000 people, and it could be said to be a city with a medium population among the surrounding cities.

But everything has changed since the previous prefect Ma Deng and the visiting delegation of Yunzhou County began trading.

Originally, there was a great drought in the province, and most of the people in the province could not eat, and there were many displaced people.

Ma Deng and these displaced people who were unable to settle down happened to be visited by the delegation from Yunzhou County, hinting that they could do human transactions, and they immediately scratched Ma Denghe's heart.

The deal was immediately agreed.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that it was easy to agree to this transaction, but it was not so simple to stop.

Originally, a group of thousands of people were trading, and they soon helped Madden and take away the instability in the city.

Let Yunzhou County get the population it wants, let the displaced people have a way to live, and let themselves ensure the stability of Xining Province.

Everything is so harmonious, so beautiful.

But soon, some gentry came to complain to him, telling him to stop the behavior of the people who were selling to them, because there was no one to plant their land anymore!

It turned out that at first, these landlords and gentry were not only not afraid, but also very surprised.

Like them, they all have food stocks at home, and they are just natural disasters, so they don't panic at all.

It is the ordinary people who should be panicked who do not have much food at home.

On weekdays, these mud legs cover the ground to death, and he won't sell any amount of silver you pay.

As soon as this natural disaster comes, in order to survive, even if you lower the silver, he will rush to sell it to you, and they will be able to smoothly carry out the land annexation.

When they had taken away the land of these mud legs, they had also taken their own tenants, and let them cultivate their own land, so that they would expand their industry and manpower.

But this year is different, they just bought the land from those mud legs, and it turned out that the mud legs were "sold" by their lord!

As a result, although they have harvested a lot of new land, they have no one to plant at all, so they can only waste it.

At first, they didn't pay much attention to it, they sold it, and there were not many things in this year, but the homeless people went out to find a lot of tenants.

But what they didn't expect was that when they went out to look for it, they found that they couldn't even find a beggar, let alone the homeless!

In ten miles and eight towns, except for them, the landlords and the rich peasants who have quite a lot of assets at home, there is no one left!

The mud legs who were skinny and struggling to survive on weekdays, and the beggars who cowered in the corners of the streets and alleys all day long and begged were all gone.

As soon as I inquired, I found out that they were all packaged and sold out by their lord!

At this time, the gentry panicked, and hurriedly sent someone to the mansion to ask the lord of the mansion to stop selling it quickly.

But they were already late, and they didn't find out until Madden and the reaction came to an end.

In the entire Xining Mansion and even the surrounding villages, towns and villages, almost ten rooms and nine empty rooms.

Everyone was taken away by Yunzhou County, leaving him with Xining Mansion as if it was a ghost town.

Now he was dumbfounded!

hurriedly sent people to chase after the people who wanted to go back to their own house, but they were told that those people had already left the customs and had already settled in Yunzhou County and were reluctant to come back.

In this way, the entire Xining Prefecture suddenly became a prefecture with a population of no more than 5,000 people from the upper and middle prefectures in the entire northern Liaoning.

It is not an exaggeration to directly describe the land is vast and sparsely populated.

Those landlords and gentry in the countryside had no choice but to keep the land idle, after all, the land was idle and had to pay taxes, or heavy taxes, so they could only roll up their sleeves and work in the fields.

But where have they done these things on weekdays when they don't touch the spring water, they all complain bitterly, and their grievances against Yunzhou County and Ma Denghe can be said to be straight to the sky.

If they hadn't engaged in some kind of population trade in Rausch, would they have gone to the ground in person?

The job had already been done by the tenants.

Where are they now gentry and strong, and they are clearly inferior to ordinary landlords.

Fortunately, news came soon that it was not only their Xining Mansion that encountered this situation, but also many places in Liaobei County, large and small, had become like this.

There were at least hundreds of landlords and gentry who had the same fate as them.

In this comparison, I suddenly found that there were other people who suffered with me, and they felt much more comfortable in their hearts, and they didn't know what kind of psychology it was!
