Chapter 1016: Understanding the Situation
Ma Ziqiang is not stupid, he can rely on his own strength to climb to the position of a thousand households, Ma Ziqiang's IQ is still okay, therefore, he knows very well the reason why he will become the commander of the Left Acropolis.
Ma Ziqiang didn't care about this, and even secretly made up his mind in his heart to make these people who want to use him as a scapegoat look good, and let them know that he Ma Ziqiang is not a person who is allowed to be slaughtered by them.
Therefore, as soon as he took office, Ma Ziqiang devoted himself to the resettlement of displaced people.
At the beginning, there were indeed some mistakes, but soon, Ma Ziqiang got started, relying on the ability to lead troops trained in the army, Ma Ziqiang directly separated all the homeless people and formed different squads, and what he needed to do next was to lead the army of this squad well.
As a result, the effect was unexpectedly good, and all the displaced people were resettled, and although there were some problems in between, they were quickly resolved.
Seeing this, those people in Linsha City who originally wanted to watch Ma Ziqiang's good show lost their eyes, and they thought they were dreaming in their hearts.
Yu Deen recruited Ma Ziqiang again at that time, as the governor, he saw Ma Ziqiang's ability, but unfortunately, Ma Ziqiang still refused, people like Yu Deen are not worthy of his loyalty.
After Ma Ziqiang refused this time, although Yu Deen was angry once, and said more than once that he would clean up Ma Ziqiang, but in the end, there was still no life.
Yu Deen is not a stupid person, he is very unhappy with Ma Ziqiang in his heart, and he wants to kill him directly, but he knows that he can't do without Ma Ziqiang now.
With the passage of time, the number of displaced people from Qingzhou is increasing, and this number is approaching 600,000, and this increase has not yet seen the end, plus those under him do not have the strength to settle those displaced people, or do not want to participate in this matter, so now under Yu Deen's hands, only Ma Ziqiang can do this well.
Therefore, even if Yu Deen is very unhappy with Ma Ziqiang in his heart, he has to endure it now.
If he kills Ma Ziqiang, who will manage those homeless people.
Ma Ziqiang also knew this matter very well in his heart, so not only did he not feel sorry for Yu Deen, but also for the materials for the resettlement of the displaced people, he could report as much as he could, and Yu Deen's side, in order to appease those displaced people, no matter how much material he had, he could only accept it patiently.
Some people here will ask, the sandbar is not a continent of production, and it can even be said that it is a continent with a shortage of food, so why do these displaced people still come here? Why don't they go to other continents?
If you go to those continents, it is better than coming to Shazhou, which is a semi-arid and semi-desert region where half of the land is located.
The reason is actually quite simple, and it has already been mentioned before.
As mentioned earlier, in order to prevent the armies of other continents from coming to Qingzhou to encircle and suppress them, the rebels in Qingzhou drove a large number of displaced people into these continents.
Although the economic conditions here on the sandbar are not very good, as the front line of resistance to the barbarians, the front line of the 100,000 mountains is handed over, so the number of troops and the strength of the army here on the sandbar are stronger than those of other continents.
In particular, there is a powerful White Elephant Legion here, so to speak, the military threat of the sandbar is much stronger than that of other continents.
Therefore, the rebels in Qingzhou drove most of the displaced people towards the sandbank.
As for whether these homeless people are willing or not, hehe, under the threat of knives and guns, where is there room for them to bargain.
What's more, many homeless people in Qingzhou are actually willing to come to Shazhou in their hearts.
Why?
Because there is a strong army here that can protect their lives, even if they know that it is difficult to survive here on the sandbank, many homeless people still choose to come to the sandbank.
After experiencing the tragedy of the war, many people yearn for safety the most, as long as they can live safely, no matter how big the pay, they are willing.
Isn't there such an old saying: Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger!
It tells the story of Kong // Zi and his disciple Zi / passing by Tai // Mountain and meeting a woman with a miserable background.
The tiger infestation was severe, but because of the harsh tyranny of the monarch in other places, she and her relatives preferred to live here forever, so that many people were killed by tigers along with her relatives, and she was the only one left crying over the graves of her relatives.
The reason why this woman's family still lives here even though they know that there are tigers here is because the tyranny of the ruler is more terrible than the man-eating tiger.
These homeless people in Qingzhou also have this idea in their hearts, life here in Shazhou is more difficult, but at least there is no need to worry about the rebel army that appears from time to time, do not worry about their lives suddenly disappearing, and do not worry about their families being suddenly captured by the rebels.
It is for these reasons that the number of displaced people here in Sandbar is increasing.
For Lin Ze, Ma Ziqiang was full of good feelings in his heart, so he said to Lin Ze with a smile: "My lord, I have arranged a place for you to stay and rest in the city, and at the same time arrange the best restaurant for your lordship." ”
Lin Ze looked at the other party and said with a smile: "General Ma's hospitality is difficult, it stands to reason that I should accept it, but now the disaster is like fire, so, General Ma, I can't accept your hospitality now, so let's wait until I understand the disaster here, and then I will invite General Ma to dinner." ”
Lin Ze had already collected the specific information about Ma Ziqiang, and Lin Ze was very interested in whether Ma Ziqiang could accept Yu Deen's solicitation.
In addition, he was able to settle so many homeless people safely, which is enough to prove that Ma Ziqiang's ability is very good, so Lin Ze is so kind and pleasant, he wants to recruit Ma Ziqiang.
"My lord, if you say so, then you must accept my banquet all the more, because the humble duty is just the time to explain the situation to you, my lord. Ma Ziqiang said with sincerity on his face, and he was 100% satisfied with Lin Ze in his heart.
In the entire Linsha City, what official can be like Lin Ze, after coming to the place, instead of eating and playing first, he directly cares about the resettlement of the displaced people?!
No, not a single one.
Those officials of Linsha City who came here only came here to show his existence, and then they turned back to Linsha City inside, and they didn't check the resettlement of the displaced people at all.
As soon as Lin Ze came here, he directly refused his banquet and wanted to go to see the situation of the homeless people first, which made Ma Ziqiang's good impression of Lin Ze rise to the maximum.
"That's it........" Lin Ze thought for a moment, and finally, he and Wang Ming behind him looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement.
"If you take it once, you'll trouble General Ma, but let's keep it simple!"
"Okay, my lord, please!" Ma Ziqiang led the way in front with a smile on his face.
Soon, the group came to a very ordinary restaurant, and the wine and food had already been put on the table.
Looking at this guy's very ordinary restaurant, and the ordinary wine and food on the table, Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction.
Next, Lin Ze and the others chatted while eating, and Ma Ziqiang also took the opportunity to roughly tell Lin Ze about the situation of the displaced people in the Left Acropolis.
The left acropolis is a military city, the front and back of the left and right city walls are about five miles long, and the height is also more than 30 meters, there were originally a total of 100,000 troops stationed in it, but this time, because of the need to place hundreds of thousands of displaced people here, so, among the 100,000 troops, 80,000 were evacuated to the right acropolis on the other side of Linsha City, and now the soldiers left here, plus the logistics personnel, a total of 26,850 people,
Later, Ma Ziqiang recruited 5,000 security personnel among the homeless people to be responsible for the security situation in the homeless camp, so now there are about 31,000 people in the left acropolis.
Don't look at the more than 30,000 people here, it seems like a lot, but it's not.
Because, among the more than 30,000 people, more than half of the soldiers need to guard the city wall, otherwise, if they are suddenly attacked by sand thieves or the rebels in Qingzhou, everything will be over.
As a result, there are only about 15,000 people who can be used to resettle the displaced people.
It's not that Ma Ziqiang doesn't want to recruit more people, but his official position can only allow him to have only 10,000 troops under his command, and now there are more than 30,000, which is already far overnumbered.
Otherwise, once those who have a heart sue this matter to Kyoto, even Yu Deen will not be able to eat and walk around.
The Left Acropolis is just a military city with a radius of five miles, and there are many forbidden areas in the army, so it is already the largest extent to settle 500,000 displaced people now.
However, the rebellion in Qingzhou has not yet subsided, and there are more and more signs of fierceness, so after more than half a year of turmoil, many of the people of Qingzhou who did not want to go are now on the road of exile.
It is also because of this that the number of displaced people who come to the left acropolis of the capital is still endless, and Ma Ziqiang has been having a headache for the past few days.
According to Ma Ziqiang's estimates, in another ten days and a half months, the number of displaced people gathered here will exceed 600,000, and the number of displaced people that can be accommodated in the Left Acropolis is limited.
Hearing this huge number, Lin Ze's eyes were filled with a cold killing intent, a cold killing intent towards those rebel leaders in Qingzhou.
The murderous aura that leaked out even directly made Ma Ziqiang's whole person feel cold.
