Daming wolf ride

"understand!"

All the officials nodded their heads incessantly. Dayong's words "betrayal is not terrible, I am so afraid that I don't know how to repent" really spoke to their hearts. If it weren't for the knife resting on their necks, who would do such a shameful thing that would damage their reputation?The matter has already been done, and cutting off their heads will not make up for it. It is better to give them a chance to make a contribution. This is the most appropriate solution.

"A word from the general is better than reading books for ten years! General, don't worry, we will do our best to live up to the general's entrustment."

"The humble official will go to the countryside to recruit refugees, and within half a month, all the people in this prefecture and county will be moved to the prefectural city."

"The general is sympathetic, and knows that we are in a dilemma. A sentence of merits and demerits immediately makes the lowly post enlightened. With the general around, how dare the lowly post not do the work of a dog?" [

"From now on, every word the general said, the subordinate officials must keep in mind and never forget."

"If the imperial court pardons you, the general will be the reincarnated parents of the subordinate!" Speaking of excitement, Song Cheng, the magistrate, fell to his knees with a "plop", his eyes were red, and he wanted to kowtow to Dayong.

His kneeling not only shocked Dayong, but also shocked the officials, but the shock was only for a moment, and then he plopped and knelt for more than half, claiming that Dayong was not only their reborn parents , and even the reborn parents of the people in Dengzhou, they thought they could repay them, so they could only pay homage to each other with the gift of father and son, so that they could express their gratitude in their hearts.

Of the more than 20 people who came together, only Denglai Dao Song Guanglan and Jianjun Dao Wang Hui stood there stupidly. The ugliness of their colleagues made them feel ashamed, but no one dared to ridicule them. After a short hesitation, the two still hesitated and knelt down.

When the rebels forced to surrender that day, for the sake of managing Denglai, Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde treated the officials somewhat courteously, so even though they surrendered, Song Guanglan still did not go so far as to admit that the thief was his father, and he still had some civil servant integrity in his bones. , It is not flattery to a group of traitors, let alone kneel and kowtow in front of them.Fortunately, he didn't fawn on the rebels, but he acted like this in front of the generals of the imperial court. The feeling of humiliation welled up in his heart, which really made him uncomfortable.

Just a year ago, when the general in the Dengzhou military camp saw him, Song Guanglan was still yelling "Master", now, alas!What is this called!thing!

Wang Hui can see it openly, he can't blame others if his life is bad, the so-called law does not blame the public, his colleagues are completely shameless, why does he need such a face.Besides, do they still have a face now?If you can keep your head, don't worry about the face that has long since disappeared.

The words of flattery kept ringing in his ears, Dayong couldn't help but smile bitterly, a little disgusted by the ugly appearance of everyone bowing their knees, he knew the reason why they flattered him so much, and it wasn't for his own sake to save their lives.

If it were changed to the past, which of these officials did not think highly of themselves, and the words "Wenguiwuwujian" were firmly imprinted in their hearts.Not to mention a mere Jinzhou general, even if the commander-in-chief is here, I'm afraid these officials won't sell their faces like this.

Civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death, but greed for money is nothing. What is afraid of is that civil servants are also afraid of death.In order to survive, they can't do anything. Now, what will happen in the future?

In a word, this is not what it used to be.

After sending the officials away, Guo Yi asked Dayong, "Does the general really want to keep these people?"

"Dengzhou cannot do without them right now." Dayong answered irrelevantly.

Guo Yi reminded Dayong: "General, these people, as officials of the Ming Dynasty, don't want to serve the country but surrender to the thieves. I'm afraid that the court will not tolerate them."

Dayong nodded and said: "You're right, but a gentleman must do what he says. Since I have promised them that their lives will not be in danger, I will keep their heads. Otherwise, how can we build trust?"

"What if the imperial court insists on killing these people?" Guo Yi thought to himself that the imperial court would not take the general's thoughts into consideration.

"Well" this question really gave Dayong a headache, after thinking about it, he said casually: "Then let's hide it, the imperial court is far away after all."

The convoys transporting grain from Laizhou came in and out of the city gate of Dengzhou in an endless stream every day. The truckloads of grain not only reassured the people, but also reassured the Jinzhou army.After the first batch of more than 100 fat pigs arrived, Dayong immediately ordered all of them to be slaughtered to reward his subordinates. By the way, the victims who hadn't eaten meat for a long time also had a dozen tooth sacrifices.Jinzhou soldiers eat meat, and the tens of thousands of newly attached rebels naturally have to give some bones to eat.After a full meal, everyone in Jinzhou agreed that the pork was delicious, but the meat was sour and tasted very bad. [

The food bought with real money also gave Song Guanglan and other officials confidence. They were worried that they would try their best to move people here but there would be no food for them. As a result, they did not starve to death in their hometown, but collapsed to death in Fucheng. That is no different from sinning.Fortunately, Shi Dayong got food from someone who didn't know where, so they didn't have to worry about it.

With food, the work of resettlement and relief must be accelerated. There are now more than a dozen large and small food supply points in the city. Every day, the government sends people along the street to ring gongs to remind the people to go to the food supply point to get food.Food distribution is once in the morning and once in the afternoon. If it is delayed, it will have to wait until the next day.

The standard is that children under the age of ten can receive four or two meters (noodles) at a time, and children over the age of ten and under the age of 50 can receive half a catty of rice (noodles) at a time, regardless of gender.For example, there are four men and women in such a family, and the food they receive can reach about four catties a day, which these victims dare not even think about. They never ate so much food every day in the peaceful years before the military disaster.

Some officials persuaded Dayong not to distribute so much food to the victims. It is enough for the family to give one catty a day. It is a kindness of Dayong to ensure that they will not starve to death. Why give so much?Dayong, however, refused to listen to persuasion, and insisted on distributing according to this high standard, saying that the people are suffering, and he can give as much as he can, so why bother about it.He also warned the officials engaged in food distribution not to reach out from it, let alone withhold it, otherwise they would be chopped up and fed to the dogs.

After the warning, Dayong was worried, for fear that these greedy officials would not be able to resist the temptation to stretch out their hands. For this reason, he specially arranged military officers from Songshan, Jinzhou to supervise every grain distribution point, and he had to keep the daily account books. See for yourself.Fortunately, there was no demotion and corruption. Also, these people's lives are now in Dayong's hands, and they are no longer officials of the imperial court. How dare they do such corruption.

Set the standard, whether it is the family members of the more than 1 rebels, the refugees brought by Dayong, or the disaster victims who moved from neighboring prefectures and counties, the daily ration supply is the same, and it does not discriminate.

At the beginning, because there were too many people, the soldiers who maintained order at the supply point seldom had chaos, and there were a few looting incidents by the people. disappear completely.

Most of the surviving people are old, weak, women and children, young and strong were taken away by the rebels, and the local ruffians were not spared. In addition, the people have no money left in their hands, so the government has no public security cases to try. Dedicated to major issues of immigration and resettlement relief.

At the same time, the restoration of production in the fields near Fucheng has been put on the agenda. Song Guanglan and others reported a shortfall of [-] young adults, saying that there are not so many young adults, and the fertile fields near Fucheng can only be planted in time. Last autumn wheat, the incident of farming in Dengzhou became a mirror in the water.

With such a big gap, disarmament has become a top priority for Dayong.
