Turbulent Times Chapter 1019: 50,000 refugees

"My lord, now these more than 50,000 refugees have been led to the junction of Fangcheng County and Donglai County by us according to my lord's previous instructions. How should we deal with it now? Should we go by land or by sea?" Shen Guoer asked for instructions. road.

"Going by sea and land, I will go there by boat immediately and send an order to Liu Ziming to prepare food and medicine, start transporting them there, and start disaster relief." Wang Junlin ordered.

Shen Guoer quickly agreed.

…

…

At the junction of Fangcheng County and Donglai County in Fanyang County by the sea, there is a bay called Silver Fish Beach. Wang Junlin arranged for 50,000 refugees to stay there.

From Fanyang County to Yinyutan for more than three hundred miles, Liu Ziming took only ten guards to protect him. After receiving Wang Junlin's order, he set off from the county without a moment's delay. Ten thousand shi grains and some medicines, more than a dozen doctors came to Yinyu Beach within five days, and before that, Wang Junlin ordered five thousand shi grains from Fangcheng County to be sent to Yinyu Beach first.

"Ziming has worked hard." Wang Junlin took the sea route two days ago and arrived at Yinyu Beach by boat. The soldiers brought by Wang Junlin have already led the refugees to set up a refugee camp here. Liu Ziming came After eating, he ordered people to control the food, and began to boil water and porridge for cooking. The doctor treated the refugees, and then came to report to Wang Junlin.

Liu Ziming said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the three humble scholars you got from Zhuo County are quite capable, and Xiang Nan was assigned to be in charge of farming, so the two boys, Mou Xuhong and Zhao Shuren, are also very capable. Time was also practiced by me and Du Ruhui, with their help, I didn't have to worry about it all the way, which saved a lot of trouble."

Wang Junlin said: "Oh! In this way, I really picked up three treasures. After this incident, the two of them were also assigned official positions in the county mansion. We can't just let the horses run and not let the horses run away. Eat grass immediately, you scholars still value official positions very much."

Liu Ziming smiled and said: "Your Excellency is wise, but these 50,000 refugees are not a small number. What are you going to do, should you ship them directly to the saltworks, or stay here for a while?"

"Sending them directly to the salt field is too noisy, and it is easy to attract the attention of others. I plan to transport them in batches. In the end, it will give outsiders the feeling that the 50,000 disaster victims have scattered or turned away."

However, Liu Ziming stood up suddenly, bowed deeply to Wang Junlin, and said solemnly, "There are more than 50,000 people waiting to be fed. If you don't reach out, few of these people will survive in the end. Your Excellency's move is a great act of kindness."

"Those who have the world in mind must first have the wish to benefit the world." Wang Junlin knew that Liu Ziming was the kind of scholar who had the world in mind, and sighed: "The Huainan county officials did nothing to drive these more than 50,000 refugees away. , I thought it was all right, thinking that they would disperse on their own, or let him slowly starve to death. And all the way north, the officials in various places didn't care about their life and death, and sent a large army to continue to drive them away. The most important thing is that they are used to not caring about the life and death of the people, but they really think that the 50,000 refugees will disperse on their own? I don't think so. If people have no way to survive, what can't they do? If I don't When they went to the salt field, there would be another riot. Not only would these 50,000 people die sooner or later, they would cause disasters in the local area, snowballing, and the scope of the riot would increase. people."

"Indeed, I was also worried about this, so I rushed all the way here with food and medicine. It's just that my lord, most of the silver fish beach belongs to Dongnai County. So many refugees have stayed here for a long time. What will the prefect think." Liu Ziming was a little worried at the end.

"How else can I think about it?" Wang Junlin snorted coldly, "The governor of Donglai County, Chen Shengping, must have thought that I sent people to block these refugees here, because they didn't want them to enter Fanyang County. They sent people here Negotiate, I will take the opportunity to blackmail them with some food."

"Your Excellency is wise." This is the second time Liu Ziming said these four words, but it was really from the heart. He nodded and said: "I heard that Chen Shengping, the prefect of Donglai County, is an old fox. It's not easy to deal with."

Wang Junlin nodded: "This kind of old fox, I'm too lazy to play tricks with him. I like to force or frighten such people to do what I want."

Liu Ziming said with a smile: "Given your lord's fierce reputation, if you do a little something, I'm afraid Chen Shengping will have trouble sleeping and eating. Anyone who eats or drinks has to be tested for poison."

At this moment, the camp tent began to shake, and the sound of a violent storm came from outside. Wang Junlin and Liu Ziming looked at each other with worries on their faces.

It rained suddenly at night. Fortunately, Wang Junlin chose a slightly higher **** in the Northeast Beach as a large refugee camp. There are large bushes on the east side of the camp that can block the wind and rain, so it is generally safe. It's just that not enough shacks have been built yet, and most of the refugees can only stand overnight in the heavy rain, except for the priority of taking care of injuries.

Wang Junlin originally wanted Liu Ziming to be busy. He went to Yilie Snake Island overnight to discuss with Nie Xiaoyu about occupying the two islands given to him by Goguryeoyuan Taejo, but tonight the sea was rough and he didn't leave. After that, he also wore a rain cape and ran to inspect the situation of the more than 50,000 refugees in person.

It's just that the rain cape is not very good, and it was soaked by the rain soon. He took off the rain cape directly, and inspected the disaster situation in the heavy rain wearing a soaked official robe. Several temporarily built embankments collapsed in large areas due to heavy rain, and the sediment was carried away by the turbulent river embankment, as if a large area of ​​land disappeared from the sight overnight. However, these dangerous areas were alerted in advance, and the people placed there were evacuated in time, without causing any casualties.

On the sea in the distance, Nie Xiaoyu personally led people to build it, and now it is the huge ship that Wang Junlin used to travel on the sea. Not extinguished, it looks like a faint firefly from a distance.

On the other side, in a very hidden bush, a dozen or so figures are riding on horses, watching the people brought by Wang Junlin and Liu Ziming gradually control these refugees, give them food, and send a doctor to see a doctor. These 50,000 refugees have completely stabilized.

Yuan Taizuo sent two people to negotiate with Wang Junlin, one was the family general Jin Yibei, and the other was Liaodong businessman Mao Haitao. Looking at the firefly lanterns in the refugee camp in the distance, he stomped his feet in annoyance, unexpectedly, he was still a step late.

Yuan Taizuo sent a lot of spies to Da Sui. The main task was to use all means to cause chaos in Da Sui. Mao Haitao also received this task. He knew that 50,000 refugees came to Fanyang County. Youzhou, brought people out without delay.

Whether it is to instigate 50,000 refugees to rebel, or to send a few pirates under their control to pick these people to the island and strengthen the power of the Eastern Sea Bandits in their hands, they have made great achievements.
