Chapter 166: The North and South Refugee Camps
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" When the bright yellow car that Yongli was riding passed by, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers shouted long live, and the ordinary people outside the refugee camp knelt on the ground. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The land of the Central Plains has fallen for twenty-five years! I'm finally back! Yongli saw the soldiers and civilians kneeling on the ground, and said to the queen and the prince with great emotion.
"Twenty-five years have passed, and the people still have great wisdom! Now that His Majesty has returned to the Central Plains, the common people are naturally in the middle of the road to welcome His Majesty's holy drive. Deng Kai, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was walking beside the emperor's car, said.
"It's me who I'm sorry for the people of the world, I hunted in Myanmar, I didn't expect to come back today." Yongli sighed. But he remembered that he didn't even dare to go to Nanjing to worship the Ming Tomb, but he was afraid that he would completely lose his freedom and really become a puppet.
"Father, why are you crying?" The prince asked.
Yongli muttered: "Emperor, I see that the people are ragged, skinny, and very miserable, and I feel sorry for the people of the world!" I didn't expect that when I returned to the Central Plains, the people would be able to welcome me, which was really touching. ”
The convoy stopped at the gate of Kaifeng City, and Wu Sangui and his subordinates stood at the gate to greet him. Seeing Yongli's car appear, Wu Sangui and others knelt on the ground three times and bowed nine times, shouting long live.
"Weichen Wu Sangui knocks to see Your Majesty!" Wu Sangui bowed.
Yongli entered Kaifeng City and lived in the temporary palace that Wu Sangui placed for him. But Li Dingguo couldn't sit still, insisted on going to the river outside the city, and planned to cross the river to take a look on the other side.
"Lord Jin, you have a tired journey, so let's rest first." Wu Sangui said.
Li Dingguo pointed to the north, his voice trembling: "The land of the Central Plains is on the north bank, I heard that the Tartars dug the embankment of the Yellow River, and this domain just wants to go to the other side to see what happened to the people." The prince of Pingbei, who was also born in poverty, was also displaced like these people back then, and almost starved to death. Now seeing the suffering of the people, this clan can't bear it! ”
"The prince of Jin is benevolent and cares for the people, which makes Xiao Wang admire! Please also rest assured that the people affected by the disaster on the north bank have been resettled. Although Xiao Wang is incompetent, he can guarantee that the people will not starve to death. Wu Sangui said.
"You and I have fought to the death and killed each other for so many years, but now we can walk together, serve Your Majesty together, and go on the Northern Expedition together, where did you think of this day!" Li Dingguo sighed.
In the end, Wu Sangui still didn't stop Li Dingguo, so he had to accompany Li Dingguo across the pontoon bridge and go to the north bank of the Yellow River. After arriving on the north bank of the Yellow River, the scene was even more miserable. A large number of ragged and skinny people wanted to cross the pontoon bridge, but were stopped by Wu soldiers.
"Why don't you let the people go across the river?" Li Dingguo asked.
"There are so many people in the disaster, they are all pouring over, I don't know how many people will squeeze into the water, I'm afraid the pontoon bridge will break! Xiao Wang can only limit the number of people to be allowed to go over every day. Only after signing up can those who have received a wooden sign cross the river. Lord Jin, you can take a look over there and find out. Wu Sangui explained.
When I walked to the gate of the refugee camp on the embankment on the north bank, I saw more than a dozen long queues lined up at the door, several sheds were erected outside the camp, some people sat in the sheds to register, and the people outside stretched their necks and waited patiently.
"What is this?" Li Dingguo asked.
Wu Sangui replied: "That's not Xiao Wang's person, it's Nanjing's person." All the people can line up to sign up, and as long as they can get a wooden sign, they can cross the river to the south bank. When they arrived on the south bank, they were temporarily placed in the camp on the south bank, and someone would come to take them to Jiangnan in a few days. ”
……
Ba Hai, who led the army to retreat to Guangping Fucheng, was sitting in the original study of Daotai Mansion. Today's Daotai has moved out of his own mansion, and Daotai Mansion has become Bahai's General's Mansion.
"Report to the commander!" A pro-soldier came in to report, "Wu Gou has been blocked for two months!" Although Wu Gou's army crossed the Yellow River in Kaifeng, the roads were muddy, the flood had just passed, and it was spring rain, and Wu Laogou's artillery baggage could not advance at all, and every day there were victims rushing to Wu Laogou's camp to eat! Wu Laogou is now unable to move an inch! ”
"Hahaha!" Ba Hai looked up to the sky and laughed, "This rain continues to fall for a while, and Wu Sangui can only go out in the summer!" In the summer, the climate is hot, it is not suitable for fighting, and there is not enough food, so it has to be delayed until after autumn! ”
"This digging the embankment of the Yellow River is really a clever plan!" And the tower gave a thumbs up.
But Sabu Su said on the side: "Dashuai, digging up the Yellow River is creating a man-made disaster." The last general heard that King Xi of the capital was impeaching the marshal! ”
"Wang Xi, that dog brute?" Ba Hai snorted coldly, "He really thinks that he is Wang Qingtian and wants to speak for the barbarian people?" Hum! This dog barbarian has offended so many people, if it weren't for the emperor and the empress dowager to protect him, we Manchurian heroes wouldn't need to come out, I'm afraid that the Han officials would be eager to tear this dog barbarian to pieces! ”
A sinister smile appeared on Heta's face: "Wang Xi, that dog barbarian, is really hateful!" He still thinks that this world is still the world of their Han barbarians? The foundation of our Qing Dynasty is the banner people! ”
Le Erjin suddenly had a plan and said: "Dashuai, the victims have stopped Wu Laogou, but the last general has a plan, as long as we create more disaster victims in Beizhili, Wu Laogou will definitely not be able to move an inch, and create more opportunities for my Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers!" ”
"Disaster victims?" Ba Haileng paused.
"We robbed all the barbarian villagers in Shandong and Beizhili, burned down all their houses, and if these Han barbarians don't want to starve to death, they can only run south! As long as they all run to the south, huh! Eat all the poor Wang Yi and Wu Lao Dog! Le Erjin sneered and said.
"Are you crazy?" Bahai was taken aback, "Drove away all the barbarian people, who will farm for us, and who will pay taxes for us?" What do we flag people eat and use? ”
Leerjin laughed and said, "Dashuai, do you think this Central Plains and Jingshi can stay here?" ”
"Do your best." Bahai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Isn't that it?" "Since we can't hold it, we have to give up sooner or later!" We're all going to give up, and how many barbarian people do we expect to go with us? The only ones who can go to the gate are the clothed minions, and the other barbarians are not here yet? Since you can't take them away, it's better to rob them all and drive them to the south to eat the poor king! ”
"Hahaha!" Bahai laughed and said, "Brilliant plan! Sure enough, it's a brilliant plan! Anyway, I can't hold it, so what else do you want to be unpopular? Drive the barbarian people over and cause some trouble for Wu Laogou and Wang Wei! ”
"But this matter is too important, and it needs to be reported to the court." Sabsu said.
"Report to the court?" He Ta sneered, "After reporting to the court, the barbarian poor scholars in the court are going to make irresponsible remarks again, and when the time comes, the emperor and the empress dowager will be soft-hearted, so they will not let us do it!" ”
