"Father, this is the condition that we have negotiated with the envoy of the Tang Army. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info children think that if such an agreement can really be reached, it will be of great help to our army. Sun Kewang bowed his hand to Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong's grim triangular eyes blinked, and an unpredictable look welled up on his face.

"Wenxuan, what do you mean?" Zhang Xianzhong turned his head to look at Bai Wenxuan.

"The king, I also think that it is the best thing to negotiate peace with Tang Jun." Bai Wenxuan replied anxiously: "If this agreement can be negotiated and consolidated, then in the future, every time our army gains a city, the people in the city will no longer be a superfluous burden, but can be exchanged for a large amount of silver goods." If these people are exchanged for money, grain and goods, it is really a double win. “

Hearing Bai Wenxuan say the same, Zhang Xianzhong's face was filled with a sinister smile.

"Okay, if you have money, you don't make fools, and this king agrees." Zhang Xianzhong nodded, but his face was full of emotion: "I'm thinking, this Tang Guogong Li Xiao, can so ignore the constraints of the imperial court, dare to make his own opinions, and exchange food for the people, such a heroic act, how can ordinary people do." However, in the eyes of that Chongzhen child, this is a blatant act of the enemy. This person did it with great anger, and he was completely unscrupulous, and the Ming Court couldn't help him at all, which was also lamentable. ”

"Father, what do you mean ......?"

"Hmph, in the eyes of this king, although this Li Xiao is the Optimus Pillar of the Ming Dynasty, although he has made great contributions in the Ming Dynasty, but this person is so capable and acts so decisively, I think that Chongzhen Xiaoer will be difficult to control him in the end. It is difficult to say what this Li Xiao will become in the future. Zhang Xianzhong sneered.

"Big brother, have you asked the envoy of the Tang Army about the second brother and the third brother?" Eneng interjected anxiously.

Hearing Ainengqi's question, Zhang Xianzhong's face also changed suddenly.

Sun Kewang and Bai Wenxuan, the two looked at each other with complicated faces.

Casually, Sun Kewang returned to the agreed words on the road, and slowly replied: "Big brother, I have asked, and I heard the envoy of the Tang Army say that they have disappeared in the battle that day, and they don't know where to go. “

"Ah, how can such a thing be? How is this possible? Eneng had an incredulous look on his face.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was on the side, gradually soothed, he stared at Sun Kewang deeply, seeing that Sun Kewang was empty-hearted, and lowered his head silently.

Then, Zhang Xianzhong coughed lightly and said lightly: "Okay, now that the matter of Dingguo and Wenxiu has passed, there is no need to mention it again." Hopefully, you should go and discuss the details with the envoy of the Tang Army. However, there is one more condition, you have to tell the envoy of the Tang Army. “

"Oh, please make it clear to my father."

"In the city of Kuizhou, the people's goods and other things must not be taken away, but must be left to our army. Our city has been under siege for so long and has lost so many troops, they should give us a little compensation! “

"This ......, the child obeys."

Soon, Sun Kewang explained Zhang Xianzhong's conditions to Hu Shangwen, the envoy of the Tang Army.

Hu Shangwen groaned slightly, but still agreed to Sun Kewang's conditions.

He knew that the Kuizhou Mansion had been in turmoil for many years, and the people were extremely poor, and the only few wealthy households in the city had been repeatedly looted by the Ming Dynasty government, and there was still a few dollars left. This little remnant of the people's possessions will be left to the rogues.

After all, for the current Tang Army, what is most lacking is the population.

You must know that in the Philippines alone, the shortage of immigrants has reached nearly 10 million, and it is urgent to transfer a large number of people from the country to fill it. And only the population is there, what kind of human wealth cannot be recreated?

Then, Hu Shangwen negotiated with Sun Kewang and others, and converted all the people of Kuizhou City, including Qin Liangyu's department, a total of more than 48,000 people, into 40,000 taels of silver, 15,000 stones of grain at market prices, 800 cigarettes, and 500 pieces of cotton cloth.

After this figure was reported to Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong was very happy, and he immediately ordered that a total of 55,000 women, old and weak, among the people he was coercing, be sold to the Tang army, equivalent to 30,000 taels of silver, and converted into 10,000 stone of grain at the market price.

In the city of Kuizhou, after the military order to withdraw with the Tang army and go to Shandong was issued, the entire city of Kuizhou was full of noise and commotion.

Although these Dongchuan people are very sad to leave the land of their ancestors, they are also happy that they can find a new life in this mortal situation.

They knew that if it weren't for the Tang Army's urgent reinforcements, the city of Kuizhou would have been captured by the Liukou, and the people of the whole city would have already become ghosts under the sword.

As long as you can save your life, pass on your bloodline, and survive and develop in other places, what is it?

The people of the whole city are hurriedly packing up, dragging their children and daughters, and gathering in the city square, ready to leave the city together.

At this time, in a deep alley of Ximen Street in Kuizhou City, the squire and wealthy family Kuang Zhirong led the whole family, including servants, more than 40 people, kneeling in front of the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors, and worshipping the ancestors for the last time.

"Prostrate, bow!"

"Two kowtows, goodbye!"

"Three prostrations, salute!"

Kuang Zhirong, who was kneeling at the front, raised his head after three kowtows, and his face was already full of old tears.

"The ancestors and the ancestors are on top, and after the unscrupulous, they know the glory, and they lead the whole family to worship the spirits of the ancestors. Today, Kuizhou has fallen into the hands of thieves, and we have the worry of the whole family dying, but fortunately Tang Guogong led troops to help, and the lives of the people of the whole city. Isn't it because the ancestors appeared to be saved this time to appreciate the Tang Guogong? Therefore, Zhirong led the whole family to worship, and the grace of Xie Ancestor to save his life was also ......"

Kuang Zhirong had words in his mouth, and looked at the whole table with a reverent face, and the golden yang engraved ancestor tablet.

This year, he is in his sixties, his hair is gray, and the expression on his tear-stained face is both excited and confused.

Originally, when he saw the danger of the city in the morning, the old squire knew that in order to avoid being insulted by the thieves in the future, he had prepared poison for the whole family, and was ready to kill himself with medicine after the thieves entered the city, so that he would no longer suffer the crime of the sword soldiers.

But he didn't expect that the Tang army, which was like a heavenly soldier, could come to the aid in time, so that the attack of the Liukou was a failure, and only then did the people in the entire Kuizhou City, including their big family, be able to save their lives.

This is the reason why Kuang Zhirong is so excited.

In this troubled era of blood and fire, what could be more important than passing on one's own bloodline?

As long as people can keep it, even if they can't take away the house, furniture, money, etc., it's really nothing.

It's just that what makes Kuang Zhirong confused is that after they leave Kuizhou City, they will be arranged by the Tang Army to settle down in the distant land of Nanyang. Since then, the family has taken root forever in the land of Luzon, which has never been heard of, and it is difficult to return to their homeland.

It's just that I heard that this land of Luzon is the place of the Southern Barbarians, an uncivilized land, but I don't know, can my own big family go to survive well in the local area?

Kuang Zhirong stayed in front of the ancestral tablet, unwilling to get up for a long time.

At this time, a horn sounded outside again.

"Dad, it's not too early, it's time for us to go." The eldest son's voice came in a low voice.

Kuang Zhirong didn't seem to hear it, and still knelt on the ground.

"Daddy......"

Kuang Zhirong let out a long sigh, and two lines of old tears rolled down again.

"Ancestors! After Xiao Kuang knew that the glory was useless, he could not protect the ancestral family business, he was not allowed to continue to guard the house and the property, and he had to lead the whole family, far away from his homeland, and left the South Seas, thinking that he was a place to survive. It's hard to know where you're coming from. The sorrow of the rest of the heart, how can it be said. I hope that the ancestors and the ancestors will protect the children and grandchildren and the whole family, and we will weep and worship ......"

Then, after knocking his head three times in a row, he finally stood up, led a large family, carried large and small luggage, and left the ancestral house of the Kuang family.

From the door of the house to the end of the alley, Kuang Zhirong turned back three times, and the tears in his eyes rolled down again.

When they arrived at the square, the people waiting here were already chattering and talking.

"Hey, Liu Laosi, do you know? The Nanyang we are going to now seems to have been ruled by the Duke of Tang Guo, what is it called Luzon Province, Sulu Province or something......"

"Ahem, I already knew about the fourth, my nephew just found out from General Qin, Tang Guogong has built four new provinces in the land of Nanyang, what are they called Taiwan Province, Luzon Province, Sulu Province and Mindanao Province, but the territory is vast, the land is fertile, and there is a great shortage of manpower. I've heard people say that if you grow rice locally, you can grow it three times a year. “

"Really? Then if we go to each family, how many acres can we share? Or can it only be tenants for large local households? “

"How is it possible to be a tenant? I have heard that as long as you go to Nanyang, every household can get 10 acres of land, and if you only plant two crops a year, you can produce 40 to 50 stone of rice in a year. In this way, the family is safe and secure. “

"That's good, there is land to plant, there is soil, we have hope for life in Nanyang. It's much better than being scared every day here, and dying at the hands of thieves at some point......"

After listening to the discussions of the people next to him, Kuang Zhirong's doubts disappeared for a while, and he felt that he was much more down-to-earth.

It's just that he soon thought that if his family of more than 40 people went to Nanyang and only gave 10 acres of land, it would definitely not be enough.

It's just that this problem may only be known when you go to Nanyang.

At this time, after handing over the thousands of stones of grain in Kuizhou City, the wealth of the people's houses, and Sun Kewang's department, Hu Shangwen took Qin Liangyu's department and more than 40,000 people in Kuizhou City to leave Kuizhou City together.

The moment he led the army to leave Kuizhou City, Qin Liangyu, who was walking side by side with Hu Shangwen, the supervisor of the Tang Army, was full of inexplicable emotion.

Alas, thinking of today, he almost lost his life at the hands of Liukou, Qin Liangyu really had a feeling of being separated by a line between life and death.

Tang Guogong should repay his kindness to himself?

For a while, Qin Liangyu's heart was full of yearning for going to Shandong to meet Li Xiao, the Duke of Tang.

After the soldiers and civilians of Kuizhou City left the city, there were also 50,000 old and weak people and women who Zhang Xianzhong separated from Liukou, which were also brought back by the Tang army, and together with the people of Kuizhou, they retreated eastward to Huguang Suizhou.

Although this group of old and weak women who were abandoned by the rogues played a smaller role than adult men, in the long run, it would be extremely beneficial to the future development of the Tang Army to properly settle these poor people who had been coerced by the bandits.

Then, after arriving in Suizhou, they went to Shandong together with the displaced people who had been collected from Huguang and other places.

When they arrived in Huguang and Suizhou, he and the more than 20,000 Huguang people who had been collected in Suizhou formed a huge team of 120,000 people, escorted by the Tang army, passed through Henan, and went to Shandong together.

This group of displaced people, together with Qin Liangyu's soldiers and horses, finally arrived in Dengzhou, Shandong a month later.

At this time, Li Xiao also happened to return to Dengzhou City from the Philippines.

Qin Liangyu and others, since entering the boundary of Dengzhou, only to see that there are good fields everywhere, full of vitality, all the way, only to see the market Yanran, the people are happy, and they can't help but sigh in their hearts Li Xiao's ability to govern.

And after standing outside Dengzhou City and witnessing the brand-new Dengzhou City that covers an extremely large and majestic area, Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin and others admired Li Xiao beyond measure.

She even secretly rejoiced in her heart, she had the opportunity to take refuge under Li Xiao, but it was a rare opportunity.

At this time, when he heard that Qin Liangyu and his son Ma Xianglin and other soldiers and horses had come to take refuge in him and had come to Dengzhou, Li Xiao, who was originally listening to the reports of Chen Zilong and Jiang Yueguang, couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Let's go, go with my father-in-law to greet Qin Liangyu and the others."

"Mother, you see, the one wearing a python robe and jade belt is Tang Guogong. He himself went out of the city to meet us. “

More than ten steps away from the West Gate, Ma Xianglin pointed to Li Xiao, who strode out of the city gate, and whispered to Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu sighed, and suddenly sighed with emotion.

I really didn't expect that this Tang Guogong Li Xiao was so young, much younger than his own son. But the great achievements of this person can be compared with anyone in this era?

Seeing that Li Xiao was getting closer, Qin Liangyu and his son Ma Xianglin, as well as his nephew, Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming and others, knelt down and bowed.

"Qin Liangyu, the chief officer of Shizhu, meet Tang Guogong."

"Shizhu comforted Ma Xianglin and met Tang Guogong."

"Adjutant General Qin Yiming ,......"

"General Qin Gongming,......"

"Everyone, please get up." Li Xiao's smile was as bright as the sunshine of midsummer, he helped everyone up one by one, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone has come thousands of miles away, and my father is really pleased." Everyone, let's go into the city with my father. My father has prepared a thin banquet to wash the dust for you. “

After speaking, Li Xiao made a gesture of invitation, then took Ma Xianglin's hand and walked towards the city affectionately.

Seeing that Li Xiao was so enthusiastic about himself, Ma Xianglin's heart was hot, and there was a feeling of dampness and heat in his eyes, he took a long breath, strode with Li Xiao, and went into the city.

And Qin Liangyu, who was standing on the other side of Li Xiao, saw that Li Xiao was so happy and enthusiastic about his arrival, and that he valued his son Ma Xianglin so much, how could he say the joy in his heart.

And behind them, Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming followed closely together.

Chen Zilong and Jiang Yueguang, who were at the back of the line, looked at each other meaningfully and smiled, and quickly followed.

After a while, the banquet was placed, Li Xiao, Qin Liangyu and others took turns to persuade the wine and exchange words, and for a while, the atmosphere at the banquet was cheerful, and there was a harmonious atmosphere between the guests and the host.
