Chapter 619: Heavy Codes in Troubled Times

Eighteen officers, including Guo Sanxi and Zhu Guobing, remained in Yiyang County, and they selected 100 of the more than 700 Xiangyong who had made meritorious contributions in this battle and promoted them to auxiliary soldiers.

Give them eight buckets of rice a month and one or two or five pieces of silver to keep together.

These villagers happily chose to become auxiliaries, and they were not afraid to garrison Yiyang County, because they participated in the siege of Yiyang and found that the rogues they faced were simply vulnerable.

It was said that they would soon be equipped with sharp shotguns, and everyone thought that they would be even more defeated against the Rogues again.

The villagers who took the initiative to ask to stay in Yiyang had no worries, and their families had already gone south to Cochin Province, and there was more than one male in the family.

The money and food they earn as soldiers can be collected by their families, and they can earn considerable food and salary for their poor families, so that their families can live in brick houses as soon as possible.

This is the virtue of most Han people, in order to run their own small family well, too many men are willing to pay without regrets, for their parents, wives and children to live a good life, they are not afraid of hardship, not tired, and dare to take risks.

Xu Sijiu returned east with the migratory team, stretching for more than ten miles, and countless refugees came up along the way.

Such a large team is not something that any bandit can covet, most of the robbers who cut the path have abandoned the cottage and fled far away, and many ordinary people have been able to gather in the team.

In the chaotic times, families need good luck to flee to go far.

Because there are often groups of robbers in the dense forests and hills, it is lucky that the fleeing people become corpses on the side of the road, and it is not uncommon for them to become the broth in the pots of robbers.

The Huang family and the horses led the villagers to clean up the entrenched areas of bandits that might hinder the refugees from reaching the official roads, and the attack was accurate and easy to succeed.

Because there were too many refugees who suffered losses on the road, and were killed by bandits, their relatives were robbed, and life-saving food was robbed, and they took the initiative to take their men and horses to suppress the cowards.

The bandits gathered in the mountains and forests belonged to a rabble, their combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning, their equipment was poor, and the bandit leaders had no experience in confronting the regular army at all.

The officers of the Huang family carried out the decapitation operation with the accurate shooting of flintlock pistols, and each time they shot the bandit leader at a distance of 100 paces, the crowd immediately dispersed.

Too many homeless people came to the official road to gather, and when the number was large, small-scale bandits did not dare to covet it.

However, the homeless people have no discipline at all, and such dehumanizing evils as stealing, snatching food from each other, and even colluding to kill other people's women and children in the pot.

All the ugliness of the world is exposed in broad daylight because there is no food.

Huang Sheng's advance layout is to obtain a large amount of food, in the face of hungry people waiting to be fed, only food is convincing, and it is said that it is too big to eat, which homeless person will be hungry and listen to your preaching?

Huang Sheng's purchase of rice from Quang Nam without lowering the price was also to increase the added value of rice cultivation and increase the enthusiasm of Quang Nam to export grain.

In the Central Plains, which was plagued by the bandits, the large-scale suppression of the robbers by officers and soldiers increased the pressure on the food supply, and because there was not enough food, the imperial court simply lost its rules.

The imperial court had no choice in the face of the displaced people, who were good citizens when they first came out to flee, but watched their relatives starve to death, and even ate after being attacked by others.

A lot of grievances and anger accumulated in the chest, and the slightest bewitchment by the sinister thief gradually transformed the good people into a mob.

Because there was too little food and too many people, in the end, even the officers and soldiers began to starve, how could an organized and armed group let themselves starve to death, humanity was annihilated, the massacre began to spread, and the good people were left with only one way to die.

To sum up, food is the only ingredient in untying this dead knot.

The common people of the Central Plains who followed the Huang family were undoubtedly lucky, and Huang Sheng guaranteed that they could ensure their food and clothing.

On the noisy official road, Xiang Yong, who wore an armband on his arm, maintained order with a wooden pole and spear, and 3,000 wheelbarrows and some ox carts and carriages were full of old and young women and children.

The collective contagion is incomparable, and these ordinary people, who have just eaten a few days of food, are no longer hesitating, they are in awe of power and obey the arrangement, and the army of immigrants is in order.

In troubled times, there have been a few green-skinned and gangsters in the refugee team who still bully men and women.

The private soldiers of the Huang family hated these scum the most, and after encouraging the masses to report, several gangsters were searched and arrested, and a sentencing meeting was held at night when camping, and more than a dozen green skulls were picked on long wooden poles for public display.

All the good people applauded, all the Xiaoxiao were shocked, and everyone finally knew that the "God of War" not only has the heart of a bodhisattva, but also has the means of thunderbolt.

Wang Laoshi and his family are also in the endless immigration team, and his family's population is one less, and it is the second child who took the initiative to stay in Yiyang as a villager.

This Wang Erxiao has not recognized Wang Honest since he was a child, he is brave and ruthless and likes to cause trouble, Wang Laoshi thinks that it is a good thing to let this son learn some skills and abide by some rules with the "God of War" family.

Wang honestly looked much better, he was able to eat three meals a day and one meal, which was not far from the peaceful years when he was in his hometown, and he really couldn't imagine that there would be such a good thing when he fled.

The eldest son of Li Zhuang's family, Li Daxiao, also stayed in Yiyang as a villager, and they felt that they should become the king of Qiongya County, and the family was getting more and more brisk.

"Brother Li, brother, I want to thank you, if it weren't for you always talking about the benefits of the Southern Kingdom, I wouldn't dare to escape with my family. Now that such a barren year can actually eat three meals a day, I couldn't imagine it before. ”

"Brother, that's the king of Qiongya County, it's the prince, I said it a few days ago, the court knows that the prince of Nanguo is kind and benevolent, and he has been crowned king."

"Look at my memory, the old man of the 'God of War' is the prince, the best prince in the world."

It just so happened that an auxiliary soldier of the propaganda team named Qin Huai heard the conversation between the two and said with a smile: "Our prince is not an old man, he is powerful, and the one who killed Jiannu in one move is called Prince Amin." ”

This 24-year-old scholar is a native of Haizhou, and he is a child with no fame, and the Huang family has recruited a large number of laborers in Haizhou and has given generous conditions to recruit scholars.

After three months of training, Qin Huai, who was weak in Wenwen, became an auxiliary soldier of the propaganda team who received one tael and five dollars of silver and eight buckets of rice for one month. He has been following Xu Sijiu to carry out propaganda in the Central Plains, and he has seen the days when the people are in dire straits.

Because he saw thousands of hungry people being rescued with his own eyes, Qin Huai was originally just working to earn food, but now his attitude is changing every day, he takes the initiative to work with full enthusiasm, and has long put down the stinky frame of a scholar and mingles with the poor middle peasants.
