When Liu Hong gradually boarded the boat to Shandong, it was already three days later.

In three days, Liu Hongjian took the silver given by Chongzhen and almost visited the grain shops and commercial houses in the capital, and he could buy less than 100,000 stone rice grain.

There were already many people in the capital, and the locals were not enough to eat, and Liu Hongjian did not dare to persecute too tightly for fear of causing public anger, so he had to pull the only little food on the road.

3,000 soldiers were selected from the Beijing camp, and 2,000 people from their own personal guard battalion, a total of 5,000 people, became the team that rushed to Shandong.

Liu Hong gradually knew that the displaced people were like floods, easy to sparse and difficult to block, and the more they were blocked, the more they would burst, and in the end they would only burst the embankment, so they did not think about suppressing them by force at all.

Board the boat from the mouth of the Tianjinwei Canal, and go south through the Wei River in only three days to reach the junction of Shuntianfu and Shandong.

Texas and Beijing are only separated by a water, but Liu Hong immediately felt a different atmosphere.

No matter how good Jingshi is, the imperial court will definitely not let Jingshi starve to death, after all, that is the face of the imperial court, but Shandong is different.

Liu Hong gradually stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the ragged people on both sides of the canal, and the people also looked at him with blank eyes, there was no land, no food, and most of the people were hungry drinking water by the river to satisfy their hunger.

Liu Hong gradually couldn't bear it, and immediately ordered the ship to stop in Texas to unload grain, and unloaded more than 10,000 stones.

Liu Hong gradually frowned and put down the cruel words.

"This is life-saving food, we must control the distribution efforts, neither starve the people to death, nor distribute them all at once, if you dare to be greedy for a grain of grain, this king will punish your three clans!"

After informing the local Jinyi guards of strict supervision, Liu Hong gradually boarded the big boat again and continued to go south along the canal.

When the rice and grain on the ship were exhausted when they arrived at Jining through Linqing and Liaocheng, Liu Hongjian had no more grain and rice to relieve the people, so he had to get off the ship here.

Yanzhou is already the hinterland of Shandong, and on the way to the Yamen of Yanzhou Mansion, I saw that the farmland had dried up, the seedlings had long been eaten by locusts, and there were not even a few dead grasses.

Five or six half-grown children, dressed in tatters, were tearing at the bark with scythes on the side of the road, and two children seemed to be arguing and tugging.

"Hey, little one, what are you arguing about?" Liu Hong gradually wondered, why did he still have the strength to tear his hungry eyes.

With this kind of effort, it is better to think of going to the river to fish and eat.

Several children were startled, but they saw that Liu Hongjian was followed by more than a dozen soldiers with big shoulders and round waists, and the children who were tearing the bark picked up the bamboo basket and ran.

And the two tossed and noisy children were so frightened that they didn't say a word on the spot.

"My family is a good person, I won't kill you two, I will answer honestly if I ask you anything!" Seeing that the two of them were stunned, Niu Dabang mallet explained.

"Don't listen to this nonsense, what about your family?" Liu Hong gradually glared at the bull mallet, and said that if you don't kill it, it's better not to explain it.

"Dead, starved to death last month." The child on the left broke free and tore apart and said, with indescribable stubbornness between words.

Another child muttered about the reason for the fight, one of them was named Zhang Xiaowu, and the other was called Sun Datou, both of whom were the sons of tenant families and childhood partners.

The disaster in Yanzhou was serious, and the local squire Kong Huasheng opened a warehouse to give soup porridge to save the people, and both families received help, but the soup soup was only barely starved to death, where to eat.

Zhang Xiaowu's father left his family and joined the bandits Liu Liu and Liu Qi in Fengshan, southeast of Yanzhou, and these two brothers gathered more than 1,000 people who also had not enough to eat, and went around robbing houses and houses.

The day before yesterday, he directly robbed Kong Huasheng's grain shop in Yanzhou, causing Kong Huasheng to stop giving porridge in anger, and Sun Datou resented Zhang Xiaowu's father and thief before they started fighting.

Liu Hong sighed gradually, took out two scallion pancakes specially prepared for him by Sister Liu from the ring, handed them to the two children, and instructed them not to be disgusted by this and not have friends to make them.

Then the army went straight to Yanzhou Mansion, Yanzhou Governor and Niu Dabang mallet with the same surname as Niu Chun, learned that the disaster relief was a prince who was terrified, but later found that the prince did not bring a grain of grain and then disappointed.

What about the prince, the people want to eat food, and without food, even if His Majesty and his old man come in person, it is useless.

Yanzhou Mansion is the hardest hit area of the Liukou, Fengshan Mountain in the southeast, Lianqingshan Mountain, Tashan Mountain in the west, and Nishan Mountain in the east.

Among them, Liu Liu and Liu Qi of Fengshan are the worst, and the day before yesterday, they actually robbed Kong Huasheng of this mansion, which frightened Niu Chun.

This Kong Huasheng is not an ordinary person, he is a distant relative of the Confucian family in Qufu, the east of Yanzhou Mansion, the Confucian family in Qufu has inherited the Yan Shenggong for nearly a thousand years, and the power is so great that his small prefect can provoke it.

"Where is Fengshan, you come to lead the way, and take this king to meet this Liu Liu and Liu Qi!" Liu Hong gradually looked at Niu Chun's frustrated face, and he was a little disappointed.

As a prefect, he didn't think about how to keep the hungry people under his rule, but pondered how to please the Kong family, and he couldn't tell which was more important?

Niu Chun didn't dare to refuse, so he immediately ordered seven or eight servants, and followed Liu Hong's army to Fengshan forty miles away.

At the foot of Fengshan Mountain, Liu Hong couldn't help but be stunned.

It was late autumn, but the leaves of the entire peak mountain had already been eaten by locusts and turned bare, and even the bark of many large trees on the roadside had been stripped naked.

When a few men who were patrolling at the foot of the mountain saw the officers and soldiers coming, they ran to the mountain, but all the hungry skinned and bony ones ran fast, and the bull gave an order with a big stick and mallet, and they were caught in a moment.

"You bosses can be in the mountains?" Liu Hong gradually rode on his horse and asked.

Two of the younger of the four were directly frightened and paralyzed to the ground, more than a month ago they were all tenants of farming, and they were already afraid of doing this business of robbing houses and houses, but when they saw the officials and soldiers coming, they were frightened and their souls were gone.

"Official, we don't know anything, if you want to kill, kill us, and we don't frown." The older man said with a frown.

"Ho, it's still a hard bone, it's a hard bone, this king likes it, get up, this king won't kill you." Liu Hong gradually stopped being angry and happy, judging from his speech and demeanor, this old man is indeed not afraid of death.

The four of them got up according to their words, but whether it was the two older ones or the two young people who were scared before, no matter how the bull mallet asked, the four of them just didn't say anything.

In the end, the bull mallet became angry.

"You four fools, do you know who is in front of you? This is the king of Daming Anguo! If you don't tell the truth, believe it or not, I'm really going to kill you! "The cow has a ruthless face with a big stick mallet.

In his opinion, his master has been killing from inside the customs to outside the customs for more than a year, from the north to the south of the Yangtze River, and he is a ruthless person who has changed the color of the people, so he wants to use this to make the four of them submit.

But who knew that these four people were really frightened when they heard the words of the bull mallet, but it was obvious that the four of them were only shocked rather than frightened.

"The official is the old An Guobo of the mountain?" The old man's voice trembled slightly, and Liu Hong gradually nodded in acknowledgement.

"Lord Wang, save me and other people who are suffering!" The four of them were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and fell to their knees one after another.

PS: I still owe the alliance leader a big two more, hehe.
