Chapter 4: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat in Section 5: Yang Qi and Yuan Peng are resolutely opposed. The issue of land annexation has been around for a long time, and it did not come about overnight.

The problems that have not been solved in this dynasty for decades or even hundreds of years, and the general's desire to solve them within a few years is purely a fool's dream.

Before Jizhou was pacified, the imperial court immediately began to clear the land and investigate and deal with the stubborn disease of land annexation, which would seriously infringe on the interests of the Jizhou clan and the powerful and rich, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

Chen Ji was silent, neither objecting nor affirming. When Li Hong asked him to express his opinion, Chen Ji said something that gave Li Hong a headache.

"Once this proposal is passed by the imperial court, all counties in northern Xinjiang will also implement it. There are many wealthy people in Taiyuan and Hedong counties, and they have contributed a lot to the stability of northern Xinjiang in recent years. Li Hong nodded,

"I know that some people will scold me for being ungrateful, despicable, and shameless, and some people will use knives in my back, but if you want to let the displaced people all over Jizhou live, there is only this way. The people are poor and the people are constantly displaced, and the imperial court will surely repeat the scourge of the Yellow Turban in the early years of Zhongping. Ladies and gentlemen, look at the scourge of the Yellow Turban in Yan, Qing, Xu, Yu and many other states and counties, that is a living reality. If we don't find a way to solve the problem of the survival of the displaced people as soon as possible, the scourge of the Yellow Turban will definitely spread quickly to Jizhou. Once the Yellow Turban rises again, not only will the imperial court not be able to promote the Hebei strategy normally, but we may not be able to gain a foothold in the land of Hebei. Yang Qi and Yuan Peng agreed with Li Hong's analysis of the situation, but they stubbornly believed that the cause of the displacement was not due to land annexation, but to rebellious riots and continuous natural disasters**.

"The land has been concentrated in the hands of the princes and magnates, and the wealthy and the magnates, not in the past few years, but in decades, hundreds of years. In the early years of Zhongping, before the Yellow Turban Riots, there were not as many displaced people as there are today, and the community has always been very stable. It can be seen that the land annexation and the Yellow Turban Riots are not directly related to the emergence of displaced people. The two agreed that the current solution to the problem of the displaced people is to provide relief and pacification, and arrange for the displaced people to rent the fields of the wealthy as much as possible.

At the same time, it is supplemented by a light and thin policy to ensure a smooth passage through the current crisis. In the future, when the society is stable and the prefectures and counties are subordinated to the imperial court, the problem of displaced people will be solved.

Because the continuous fighting will lead to the death of a large number of innocent people. Some states and counties will have severe population shortages.

With more land and less population, the displaced people have land to plant, and the problem of displaced people will of course be solved. Li Hong shook his hand again and again,

"I'm going to solve the problem of displacement now. According to the method of the two adults, all the taxes paid in Jizhou for a year are not enough for relief. The imperial court took Jizhou to save Sheji, not to provide relief and appease the displaced people. Don't the two adults know this? Li Hong didn't want to argue with them, and he couldn't argue with these two ministers.

He started from Tuntian in northern Xinjiang, and from young scholars such as Li Wei, Song Wen, and Xie Ming, he already knew about the scourge of the Yellow Turbans, and the root cause of the disaster of the displaced people was land annexation.

After several years of practice in northern Xinjiang, he deeply felt that land is the life of the people, the cornerstone of social stability, and the blood of the continuation of the national ancestor.

If the land issue is not resolved, there will be no way to revitalize the Han Dynasty. These old ministers are all from the gate lords, and if the imperial court wants to start cracking down on land annexation in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty, then it will be equivalent to cutting off their flesh and robbing their families of money.

For the first time, Li Hong felt the enormous resistance he was facing. How can the imperial court pass this policy and implement it smoothly?

The carriage came to a slow stop in front of the drawbridge. The Iron Cavalry Guards in front of them lined up in two, and while riding on the bridge in turn, they kept shouting at the homeless people near the city gate to get out of the way.

Yang Qi and Yuan Peng argued fiercely. Chen Ji sat beside Li Hong, closing his eyes and pondering. Li Hong looked at the homeless people on both sides of the road and frowned.

Unkempt, unclothed, emaciated, almost all of them were covered with skin and bones, and they seemed to fall down at any moment, they would be blown up into the sky by a gust of wind, and a foul rancid smell permeated the sky over Yecheng.

The homeless gathered in groups of three or five to whisper, pointing at the riders on the gallop. There are also those who stand on the field, their eyes glazed over, and look blankly at the cars on the gallop.

Many old and weak women and children were lying on the ground, dying of hunger, helplessly waiting for the coming of death. Occasionally, a few hoarse and desolate cries could be heard from afar.

Li Hong's heart trembled, and his whole body trembled involuntarily. He thought of northern Xinjiang a few years ago, and thought of the displaced and disaster victims all over northern Xinjiang.

Li Hong has seen countless people falling, seeing the white bones in the mountains and fields, and seeing the tragic situation of thousands of people freezing to death on the embankment of the Yellow River overnight.

His heart twitched violently, and he felt suffocated. Li Hong jumped out of the carriage under the surprised gaze of Chen Ji and others, staggered to the side of the road, and squatted down his tall body.

He gasped, he wanted to get out of here, to leave this miserable and painful world.

Since stepping into Dahan and this dreaming homeland, I have lost my fresh air, happiness and soul.

I live in a daze, day by day, not knowing when I will see peace and when I will hear laughter.

Dad, Mom, where are you? Who am I? Why did I come to this strange world? Why am I suffering this pain, this inhuman torture?

"Daddy...... Daddy......" A frightened and immature cry suddenly rushed into Li Hong's ears. Li Hong was startled and stood up suddenly.

In the distance, a naked**, dirty and black all over his body, so thin that he only saw a few bones, holding a little hairy boy who was also naked**, thin and only saw a big head and a pair of big eyes.

The two stood in the crowd, shouting non-stop,

"Da Hei, Da Hei, Da Hei, Da Hei, Da ......" Li Hong looked at it blankly for a while, his heart suddenly sour, and tears suddenly moistened his eyes.

"General, we're in the city......" Yang Qi stood up from the carriage and greeted loudly. Li Hong slowly walked into the carriage, sighed deeply, and closed his eyes tightly.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from his closed eyes. Yuan Peng, Yang Qi, and Chen Ji looked at Li Hong in shock, at the tear stains on his face, at the crystal teardrops hanging on his beard, and at the little tears falling on his clothes, and their hearts were greatly shocked and shocked in this moment.

The general was in tears. Yang Qi sighed, turned his head to look at the blue sky, and his eyes quietly reddened. Yuan Peng wanted to comfort Li Hong and opened his mouth, but he didn't say it after all.

Chen Ji smiled bitterly and thought of his hometown Yingchuan. There is a lot of war there, are the wives and children still alive?

The carriage drove up the drawbridge, and the wheels made a screeching and monotonous sound.

"Daddy...... Da Hei, Daddy ......" The sad and helpless cry faintly entered Li Hong's ears and drilled into Li Hong's heart with the faint breeze on the moat.

Li Hong raised his hand and gently wiped his tears, and suddenly he thought of something, and his big hand stopped on his face.

"My lord, what did you hear the kid shouting?" Li Hong asked eagerly in a hoarse voice. Yuan Pan listened attentively and said in a low voice,

"Daddy...... Big Black ...... Dad, General, this kid is looking for his father, and his father's name is Dahei. ”

"This kid is yelling at our army, maybe his father has left home to join the army." Chen Ji looked back and whispered.

"Stop." Li Hong roared, took off into the air, jumped off the carriage that had not yet stopped, and then turned around and galloped off the gallop.

Yuan Peng and the others were taken aback, stood up in unison, and looked at Li Hong who was running wildly at a loss. Sun Qin, Sai Feng and hundreds of people saw the general galloping across the field, and they didn't know what was going on, they shouted and shouted one by one, jumped off their horses, and rushed behind Li Hong.

The displaced people scattered in a panic. The two children were caught in the crowd and ran away. The little boy of twelve or thirteen took the little hairy child's hand and died.

The little hairy boy fell, frightened and frightened, and cried loudly. The little boy didn't know where he got the strength, hugged the little hairy child's waist, sandwiched it under the armpit and staggered and continued to run,

"Mother... Mother ......" Sun Qin hurriedly caught up with Li Hong and shouted: "General, what happened?" Are there any assassins? ”

"Stop that kid, I know his father, stop him." Li Hong pointed to the two children in the crowd in front of him, anxious,

"Hurry...... a few black panther servants quickly grabbed the two children. The two children were so frightened that they cried.

"Your father's name is Dahei?" Li Hong squatted down and asked with a pleasant face. The little boy cried and nodded his head repeatedly.

"Do you know what your dad looks like?" The little boy shook his head, trembling all over. Li Hong waved his hand and ordered all the righteous soldiers to retreat.

The boy's fear eased a little when he saw that all the big men around him had retreated ten paces away.

"Is this your brother?" Sun touched the little hairy child's head lovingly and asked with a smile.

"No, it's my sister. The mother couldn't support her younger brother, so she gave her younger brother away. My sister belongs to someone else, and they can't support her, so they gave her to our family. The little boy muttered a lot.

Li Hong and Sun Qin's faces ached, and they bowed their heads and were silent. In order to survive, the homeless people often change their children to eat. The little boy's mother probably couldn't bear it, so she kept the little girl who was supposed to be a meal.

"Where's your mother?" Sun Qin asked.

"My mother is by the river and is dying." The little boy cried,

"Uncles and uncles said they couldn't be saved."

"You stand on the edge of the road and call your father's name, do you know that he is in the Northern Frontier Army?" Li Hong asked eagerly.

The little boy shook his head in confusion,

"My mother said that six years ago, my father went down the mountain and never came back. Later, my mother heard that my father, along with many uncles and uncles, was taken to a far, far away place to fight by a big villain named Leopard. Mother is dying, she misses her father. I had no choice but to stand here and scream. Do you know my daddy? ”

"You take me to your mother." Li Hong stood up, took the little boy's hand, and strode towards the river embankment.

Dusk, Handan.

"Urgent military intelligence." Eight hundred miles of fast riding into the post station,

"The general has an order, don't delay for a moment, and if you violate the order, you will be killed!" The sturdy steed neighed, and its hooves flew into the vast twilight.

Late at night, Taihang Mountain, wading post. Under the hazy moonlight, the sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the night, and a fast horse rushed out of the dark pine forest like a ghost.

"The general has an order......" roared and woke up the birds in the forest. The terrifying sound of birdsong, accompanied by a hoarse roar, resounded through the mountains.

Two fast horses rushed out of the station, and the sound of thunderous hooves was immediately annihilated in the dark mountain forest. Early in the morning, Shangdang County, Huguan.

The sun rises in the east, and Xiongguan is bathed in the golden morning sun, towering and straight. Eight hundred miles of fast riding on the mist of the morning light, like a cloud driving the fog, rushed to the pass.

"Urgent military situation to Kansai." The knight held up the token, and the roar galloped along the road in front of the pass from far to near,

"The general has an order, open and close the door quickly, and those who violate the order will be killed!" The red morning sun gushes out, and the scenery of the Han River and mountains is infinite.

A black steed raised its front hooves and neighed proudly in the face of the red sun.

"Drive, ride......" immediately the knight raised his leather whip and drew it in the air,

"Little brother, let's go ......" dusk, Taiyuan County, Zhongdu Station. The white horse, spurred on by the knight, let out a long neigh, like a silver dragon with its feet on auspicious clouds, rushed into the stream.

Under the trampling of iron hooves, the clear stream splattered in all directions, and the crystal clear water splashes emitted a gorgeous colorful light under the reflection of the blood-colored sunset.

"Urgent military intelligence." The white horse carrying the knight, the four hooves soared into the air, like an angel from the nine heavens, and came to the post station with a bang,

"The general has an order, go down to Kansai quickly, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." The tall jujube red horse roared all the way, roared over the fence, and galloped away in the red clouds of the sky.

Early in the morning, Hedong County, Linfen Xingyuan. On the fields on both sides of the road, the grass is green. An unknown wildflower on the side of the road is about to bloom, and a few dew drops are lying on the green leaves, warm and comfortable.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and the sound of hooves like thunder rang out from the sky. The wildflower trembled its delicate body, and the frightened dew looked up nervously.

Two fast horses galloped past, and suddenly a fierce wind was blown. The wildflowers were fragile and suddenly swept to the ground by the wind, and a few dew drops rushed diagonally into the sky, screaming in horror and falling, and the moment they landed, a red sun rushed out of the horizon.

Eight hundred miles fast riding one man and two horses, with flying smoke and dust rolled into the gate. Then out of the camp rushed a fast horse, and immediately the knight lay on his back with his whole body, and the leather whip in his hand struck the horse's rump fiercely.

"Drive, drive ......" The war horse neighed in pain and flew out of the gate like lightning. Xie Ming, the salt and iron lieutenant who was in charge of the affairs, stood outside the big tent in disheveled clothes, looking at the fast horses that were disappearing rapidly in the distance, and his heart was very uneasy.

What happened in Jizhou? In the afternoon, Hedong-gun, Kasakatsu. Fast horses gallop on the gallop road leading to the camp of Pusakatsu.

......Suddenly, a long arrow shot out of the bushes on the side of the road. The fast horse was caught off guard and watched as the long arrow shot into the horse's neck.

The war horse neighed in pain, its four hooves soared into the air, and suddenly the knight on its back fell off, and then neighed frantically, and its legs flew like flies, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Two strong men rushed out of the bushes, each with a halberd, and slashed at the knight. The knight was smashed and unable to move.

He carried the military order sent to Kansai by the general in his arms, and he could not afford to lose. The knight barely rolled over with all his strength and pulled out the crossbow from behind.

The two strong men who were ambushed obviously did not expect that this knight would regain his strength in just a few moments.

The crossbow bolts roared, and one of the two strong men was shot, and the other was startled, and his galloping pace immediately slowed down.

Taking advantage of the other party's frightened moment, the knight hurriedly got up and drew his sword.

"Killing ......" is only two miles away from the Pubanjin camp, and the patrol soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army will appear at any time.

The Northern scout was so nervous that he drank profusely. Before the two had fought for more than a dozen moves, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from the direction of the camp.

The patrol soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army found the wounded fast horse and rushed to kill it. The enemy panicked, and the knights were demoralized, and their swords roared upwards like a storm.

The two of them fought hard to make several moves, and the enemy's war knife suddenly broke. The knight roared and slashed his head. The soldiers of the patrol camp came like flying horses.

"The general's military order, urgently send Kansai, urgently send Kansai." On the eve of dawn, Hedong County, the Yellow River Maojin crossing.

Eight hundred miles of fast riding high torches, rushed into the ferry,

"The general's military order, send Lord Xu urgently, and don't delay for a moment." The clipper spurs across the river in the pitch black *night* (**please redact).

Early morning, Kansai, Shaancheng camp. Xu Rong was woken up by the guards,

"My lord, the general is here, and he is in a hurry." Xu Rong's heart trembled, he didn't feel sleepy, and he jumped up from the ground.

He hurriedly glanced at Li Hong's letter, and his face changed greatly,

"Quick, prepare the horses, I'm going to Hongnong Camp." Morning, Kansai, Hongnong Camp. In early April, Yan Liang was ordered by Xu Rong to lead his army to approach Hongnong City.

The army, led by Gao Shun, Wu Xiong and Xiang Cheng, prepared to attack Hongnong City. In the camp, the drums shook the sky, the roar was like thunder, and the various departments were training their men and horses.

Xu Rong led a team of iron cavalry guards into the gate like a hurricane. Yan Liang, Gao Shun, Wu Xiong and other generals hurriedly greeted him.

"Where's the big black?" Xu Rongfei dismounted and asked anxiously. Yan Liang pointed to the soldiers who were practicing in confusion,

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"Call him, hurry." Dahei stood in front of Xu Rong uneasily. More than a dozen military commanders, captains, captains, and generals surrounded him.

Except for Xu Rong, everyone looked serious, and they didn't know why the commander of the army had to travel dozens of miles in a hurry to find a team leader.

Xu Rong reached out and patted Da Hei's shoulder,

"The general issued a military order of 100,000 urgent. From now on, you are no longer the leader of the Northern Frontier Army, and you can go home. ”

"Go home......" Dahei asked inexplicably and incredulously,

"The general told me to go home? Let me go back to Montenegro? ”

"Yes." Xu Rong said with a smile,

"The Great General has found your wife and children. You go home, go home immediately, don't delay for a moment. I have prepared a war horse for you, and I will let ten iron cavalry guards escort you back to Jizhou. ”

"General...... The adult ...... "Da Hei was shocked to hear this huge good news, and he was at a loss for a while, standing dumbfounded, tears coming out of his eyes,

"I can go home, I can go home." Jump to
