The spn Beiqing River starts from Dongpingfu, its source is at the confluence of the Yongji Canal of the Grand Canal, and then flows to the West-East Economic South and Yidu Prefectures, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea. It is the most important tributary of the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

To the north of Beiqing River is Hejian Mansion on Hebei Road, and adjacent to Hejian Mansion is Daxing Mansion, the capital of Dajin.

If you attack Daxing from Shandong, you can pass by water, land, and sea.

There is no need to say more about the land route. After crossing the Beiqing River and entering the territory of Hebei, there are no dangerous fortresses along the way, not to mention Yimapingchuan, which is basically the same.

As for the waterway, you can turn to the canal at Dongpingfu, and then go all the way north along the Yongji Canal, and then you can directly drive the boat into Daxing. [

In terms of sea and land, there have always been many natural ports from the Shandong Peninsula adjacent to the Bohai Bay, which can directly reach the Tianjin area of ​​Daxing Prefecture.

It is precisely because of this that after Yingzhou Island occupied Shandong, it stepped up its blockade of Beiqing River. Not only were heavy soldiers arranged at each ferry, but even the entire Beiqing River line was often seen cruising on weekdays. warship.

It's just that although Yingzhou Island's navy is strong, it can't defend the entire Shandong into an iron barrel. This is not because of insufficient troops, but because Shandong has winter.

After the arrival of midwinter, the entire Yellow River was completely frozen for a long time, not to mention the Beiqing River, which is further north than the mainstream of the Yellow River.

In this regard, the Shandong Front Army has no better way, but to strengthen its vigilance and pay attention to every move of the Jin Army at any time.

In the past half a year of occupying Shandong, in addition to arranging manpower replacement and cleaning up a large number of corrupt officials in the Jin court, Yang Tiexin's most important consistent policy is to attack the local tyrants and divide the land. All the houses and the like were confiscated and distributed to the people of the Han family conditionally.

As soon as this strategy came out, Yang Tiexin quickly won the hearts of the people in Shandong.There was an endless stream of young and strong people vying to sign up to join the Yingzhou Army. In just over a month, the entire Shandong Road expanded to 30 troops.

With such a big battle, the consumption on Shandong Road is also very huge. The consumption of food alone requires dozens of boats every day.

turn out to be.Although Shandong is a big granary, most of the food is supplied to Daxing Mansion, but not much actually stays in Shandong.

In addition, over the years, the Kingdom of Jin has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters. Every time there is a famine, the little literary and artistic old man Wan Yanjing will order people to carry food to the Shandong granary for disaster relief. After going back and forth, most of the granary on Shandong Road has been emptied. Get seven seven eight eight.

Now Yingzhou Island is occupying Shandong, building construction and conscription training everywhere.Naturally, the local grain reserves in Shandong were not enough to cover the supply expenses.

Fortunately, Yingzhou produces grain all year round, and the Mayi and Java Islands that were later occupied can grow and harvest grain at any time. What is lacking is only farmers who are farming!

Therefore, under Yang Tiexin's order, a large number of Shandong industry vagrants, tenant farmers, slaves, as well as those local civilians and tyrants were packed and shipped to Nanyang for reclamation.

Those are almost all homeless people, slaves and so on.As long as there is a way to survive, it doesn't matter where you move.But those civilians and tyrants were in a little trouble.

In this regard, Yang Tiexin proposed one thing, that is to liquidate the old evils of some tyrants!

Those who are usually rich, unkind, kind, and plundering, will be arrested and tried for public trial.The focus of cleaning up is those tyrants who have colluded with Jin Ting.

In fact, they were able to live a small and prosperous life under the rule of Ginting.Basically, they all have connections with the Jinting, so it depends on the depth of the relationship, whether they have been helping the tyrants and helping the Jin people beat the Han people!

Quickly arrested a group of diehards, killed a group of heinous reactionaries, and the rest of the big and small wealthy families all silenced, and no longer dared to pierce in front of the Yingzhou army.Either be an obedient citizen and support Yang Tiexin's rule with the greatest enthusiasm, or pack up and move with a low eyebrow and go to Nanyang with the Yingzhou merchant ship.

In less than half a year, more than half of the people in Shandong have been relocated. At present, there are only less than 300 million people left on Shandong Road.Apart from the 30-strong army, it is basically the family members of these soldiers, and the generals and government officials at all levels transferred from Yingzhou Island. [

Between this entry and exit, the entire Shandong Road was soon completely controlled by Yang Tiexin by Yingzhou Island.

But this also caused a problem, that is, the population of Shandong Road is gradually becoming a little insufficient!

However, at this time, under the rule of the Kingdom of Jin, there have been years of disasters, and refugees are everywhere.Therefore, Shandong Road was able to set up a large number of disaster relief sites on the front line of Dongping Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture, openly recruiting refugees from the Han people in the entire Jin Kingdom, and promised to arrange land and houses.

As soon as this remark came out, those low-level Han people who were struggling to make a living in the Kingdom of Jin flocked to Shandong in droves.

In the eyes of most of the officials of the Kingdom of Jin, the status of Han people is not as high as that of sheep.Therefore, when those poor and white Han people flocked to Shandong, not many gold officials came forward to stop them, but they were somewhat conniving, because only when these poor ghosts ran away, these gold officials could buy more at a lower price. much land.

In addition, the local tyrants of the Han family in the Kingdom of Jin also contributed a lot to this matter, and their purpose was also for the land in the hands of the poor.

Fueled by these corrupt officials and tyrannical powers, more and more people fled to Shandong. Over time, this incident inevitably alarmed the senior management of Jinting.

Wanyan, who has always claimed to be the master of ZTE, still has the most basic political judgment. Naturally, he knows that the loss of population is not a good thing for the Jin Kingdom, so Wanyan hastily issued an order to order officials from all over the country to restrain the local people. , We must not allow them to rush to Shandong.

It's just that although Wanyan's order was issued, it was inevitably discounted when it was actually implemented.

As a result, although the number of refugees flocking to Shandong has decreased, they still continue to flow every day.In an important border town like Jinan Prefecture, there will be at least a thousand refugees pouring in every day, and sometimes there will be as many as 5000 people.

In the afternoon of the same day, another group of refugees arrived and went straight to Jiyin Ferry on the north bank of Beiqing River.

There were a lot of refugees in this group, nearly 300 people in total. They were all in ragged clothes and covered in mud. Some of them had nothing but a broken bowl and a dog-beating stick, while others carried half a broken sack with Some broken bowls and jars.

However, these people have one thing in common, that is, they are all unkempt and look quite embarrassed!

The two people at the head were in terrible shape. Not only were they missing arms and legs, but they were also blind in one eye and missing an ear.

Although the refugees who surrounded the two of them looked miserable, most of them were bowed, hunchbacked, and crutched, they were not as scary as these two. Generally speaking, they didn't lack parts.

Not only that, this group of refugees are all grown men, and most of them are sturdy, with broad shoulders and round waists, and when they open and close their eyes, there seems to be lightning flashing.

Although they looked imposing, this group of refugees was quite low-key in their actions. When they arrived at Jiyin Ferry, they occupied a corner of the ferry by themselves, and were divided into two groups that were clearly separated from the refugees who had arrived earlier.

At this moment, nearly a thousand refugees have gathered at Jiyin Ferry. Although the group of refugees led by the two disabled people is quite large, they are still a bit small compared to the refugees who arrived earlier, and they are not very eye-catching. The soldiers on Yingzhou Island who were serving porridge here to maintain order just glanced at these refugees and didn't pay much attention to them.

I don't know what the reason is, but there are no regular warships on Yingzhou Island on the north bank of Jiyin Ferry, only seven or eight small boats for ferrying, which can carry about 400 people across the river at a time, and the rest will be in Waiting for the next ferry.

As an important branch of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Beiqing River is more than a thousand miles long. Because of the gentle water in the Jiyin section, the river is two or three miles wide. It would take at least an hour to ferry back and forth.

As if they knew the situation here, the group of refugees led by the two handicapped people didn't make any noise when they arrived. Instead, they gathered in a very quiet pile and waited to cross the river.

However, the weather is not pretentious. After two groups of refugees were sent to Jinan Mansion, it suddenly began to rain lightly. Although it was a drizzle, it was quite annoying, and it fell on the body cold and piercing. [

Probably because they have been working in this line for a long time, the soldiers in Yingzhou who were in charge of the ferry were well prepared and provided basic food and lodging for the refugees.

Of course, the food and accommodation conditions are not flattering.

What I ate was gruel and rotten rice, plus a piece of pickles.As for the residence, it was a row of thatched huts by the ferry. Dozens of people crowded together. At most, it could only be regarded as a shelter. It was absolutely impossible to sleep in a warm bed or something!

Seeing that the rain was coming, the group of refugees didn't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, and they got into several thatched huts very neatly.

It's just that these inevitably seem to be of high quality. Although two or 300 people took shelter from the rain, the whole process did not see the slightest panic, and it was very orderly.

Seeing this situation, several Yingzhou sergeants couldn't help but looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

However, these Yingzhou troops were all elites in the army. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they didn't show it. Instead, they distributed porridge and food as usual to cross people across the river.

Probably due to being blocked by wind and rain, the ferry took a little longer this time, and when the ferry returned to Jiyindu again, it was already dusk.

At this time, in addition to the group of nearly 300 people led by the two disabled people, there were more than a hundred refugees who arrived later.

The people on the ferry seemed to have changed a group of sergeants, but they saw a kind-faced little fat man jumping off the boat. Before the man arrived, his voice had already entered the straw shed, "The ferry is coming, everyone come out and get on board." boat!"

"It's getting dark! Let's make do and squeeze together. This time, let's work harder and get everyone across the river together."

"When we get to the other side of the river, someone from Jinan Prefecture will arrange food and lodging for you. Don't worry, everyone will be full for dinner, and there will be meat! You don't have to sleep on the floor anymore, and every ten people sleep on a large kang with a bunk! And it's full of firepower. It's not cold! Don't be confused, line up and get on the boat!"
