Han Shizu

Chapter 109 Governance to Security Army and People
With the annexation of the prefectures and counties and the devotion of Jiezhen, the situation in the states south of Zhenzhou has stabilized one after another, but on the Zhending side, more and more refugees and refugees have gathered.Many people, having heard about the situation here, regarded Zhending as a place of refuge and survival, and came to vote one after another.

Most of these refugees came from the four prefectures of Ding, Mo, Tai, Yi, and Ding in the north.These prefectures and counties have always belonged to the see-saw battle between the two countries. They have been invaded by wars all the year round. The fields are barren and the population has been lost. There are not many people. Three to four percent of the population of the states.

Although the population has been losing all the time, it is obviously abnormal that there is such a sudden concentration of people going south, and it doesn't take much brains to guess that it must be related to the Khitan people.

According to the detailed investigation and the report of He Fujin in Yingzhou, and from the mouth of the refugees, Liu Chengyou found that tens of thousands of Huqi divided the states, fell into the city, burned the houses, destroyed the farmland, abandoned these counties, and shrunk northward. The appearance of power.

What is different from the past is that this time the Khitans did not take the Han people into slavery, and they did not even kill people. They just robbed the Han people of money and food and drove them out.

The actions of the Khitans were obviously strange. After intensive discussions and joint efforts, the Khitans came to a conclusion that the Khitans were defending against Liu Chengyou's army.Between Youzhou and Zhenzhou, a no-man's land was cleared to prevent it from going north to attack Youzhou.

As the Hu soldiers from various prefectures withdrew to the north one after another, Youzhou slowly assembled a large army. Yeluruan also had some means of soothing the soldiers' morale, and their morale recovered.Under such circumstances, Liu Chengyou should be the one who should feel nervous, but it was obviously not easy for Yeluruan to issue this order.

Yeluruan is ready to lead the army northward to seize the throne of the Liao Kingdom!This is the judgment of Guo Rong and Wei Renpu, and Liu Chengyou also thinks so, which can also explain his strange behavior of destroying the four states.

Originally, if Yeluruan could completely take over the Khitan's army that destroyed the Jin Dynasty, with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, he would have enough strength to control the situation in Hebei.

However, after the Battle of Luancheng, Khitan suffered heavy losses and its troops were greatly reduced.With Yeluruan's current strength, it is impossible to take care of both sides.If you want to go north, soldiers and horses are indispensable, so Youzhou's defense will inevitably be emptied.

Although looking at the situation in the world, it is unlikely that Liu Jun will go north, but he has to guard against it.In the eyes of Yeluruan and others, Liu Chengyou dared to attack Khitan's hundreds of thousands of troops with [-] soldiers, and there was nothing he dared not do.Liu Chengyou sent He Fu into Yingzhou, even though he adopted a defensive posture, it still irritated the Khitan people in Youzhou.Zhending is only four hundred miles away from Youzhou.

Of course, in order to concentrate on seizing the throne, Yeluruan may choose to give up Youzhou.However, this is obviously impossible.In recent years, the Liao army has been able to give full play to its cavalry advantages, galloping freely and plundering wantonly, which is the advantage of taking advantage of Youyan's geographical advantage and attacking south without hindrance.

This kind of strategic advantage, the people of insight among the Khitan people can't see it.For so many years, the Khitan cavalry basically beat the Jin army's head, riding face output, how could they easily give up their advantage.

Or, in order to maintain the stability of the country, thinking about the country and the overall situation, Yelu Ruan can be selfless and express his surrender to Beijing.But obviously, Yeluruan couldn't do it, so he could only try his best to ensure the safety of Youyan while fighting for the throne.

Liu Chengyou didn't care what Yeluruan was thinking, but he was a little happy to guess the general direction of his actions.Although he was an enemy, Liu Chengyou was very supportive of Yeluruan and went north to seize the throne. For this, he had even been thinking about it all the time.

But it has to be said that the sabotage actions of the Khitan people in the four prefectures of Yi, Ding, Mo, and Tai really added great trouble to Liu Chengyou.A large number of refugees have come to seek refuge, which has brought great pressure to Zhending, especially the food pressure. There are tens of thousands of mouths. It is not so easy to satisfy them.

Before welcoming Liu Chengxun, Liu Chengyou devoted most of his energy to it, managing the army, the people, and the government.

It's not that no one suggested to Liu Chengyou to disperse the defectors and let them fend for themselves. Such things are not uncommon in this troubled world, but Liu Chengyou still chose to bear the pressure and take them in.

Although the process will be difficult, once you get through it, the rewards will be huge.Not to mention fame and the like, just for the grace of the "living person". After this incident, Liu Chengyou will gain tens of thousands of fans and affect hundreds of thousands of people.At any time, don't underestimate the seemingly ethereal things like people's hearts.

Of course, Liu Chengyou wouldn't have dared to do this if he hadn't seized a large amount of supplies before, which made Liu Chengyou feel confident.After all, it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.

Even so, Zhending's food consumption has also accelerated, even though the supply has always been tight.For this reason, Liu Chengyou also worried about it. While saving money, Liu Chengyou racked his brains to collect food and fodder.

In addition to organizing the refugees to go up and down the mountains to find food, they also coordinate the support of governors and generals from other states to transport food. She tactfully gave Liu Chengyou face and supported him a little.At the same time, they borrowed money and food from the big households in Wubao and Manor.

Even after being exploited and plundered by the barbarians, the landlord's family still has surplus food.A landlord who does not have three or five secret money and grain storages is not a qualified landlord.Compared with the barbarian's brutal looting, killing and extorting goods, Liu Chengyou's methods are naturally very gentle, very reasonable, and only need food.

If it is said to be borrowed, it is borrowed.Several "envoys for food" were sent out, holding the IOUs with Liu Chengyou's seal, looking for big households to borrow.Because the IOU is blank, fill in the number when enclosing the loan, and people at that time called it "IOU".

However, with Yelu Deguang's previous policy of "borrowing people's wealth", the people of the states suffered greatly.Liu Chengyou came to this again, although it was borrowed, it was always unpleasant.Therefore, there have been many cases of "borrow resistance".

In this process, some soldiers robbed and oppressed naturally.For this, Liu Chengyou was well prepared, and decisively arrested and beheaded all the soldiers who violated military discipline.Afterwards, it was widely publicized. After the matter spread, the officials and the people praised it.

Liu Chengyou did a very good job in this matter. It can be said that he succeeded in one fell swoop.At the same time, the military discipline was once again established to deter the armed forces.Although the previous expansion of the army has been rectified, the overall quality of the Longqi army has definitely been reduced.

Although those Jin soldiers were originally the Imperial Guards of Shi Jin, their military discipline was far from good. Although it had improved in a short period of time after being annexed, it was far from strict.Previously, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Liu Chengyou only used Fusui, and when the situation stabilized, he strictly rectified it by including food, so that the three armies were in awe.

The family has surplus food and does not panic. With the assistance of civil and military officials, Zhending has always maintained a stable situation.In this process, Liu Chengyou's ability to govern has been greatly improved.

Although he was very tired, Liu Chengyou enjoyed the feeling of coordinating tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and he enjoyed it very much.

If Zhenzhou is not governed, how can the world be governed? This is Liu Chengyou's firm thinking before.In Zhending, he has enough experience.
