Lin'an, the Ministry of Rites Welcome Hospital.

Now, this is Jia Rudao's official residence in Lin'an City. Geling Cidi is located on the bank of the West Lake outside Lin'an City, although the scenery is pleasant, but after all, there is no city wall protection, and it is not very safe when the Ming army may land in Lin'an Mansion at any time. The Rite Welcome Courtyard, located in the Chaotian Gate where the original Lin'an Forbidden Middle School was located, was heavily guarded by the Lin'an City Wall, and there was also the strongest fortress in the entire Great Song Dynasty next to it, which should have been the last fortress - Lin'an Imperial City.

This is definitely the safest place to go on the entire Liangzhejiang Road! However, Jia Yidao, who lives here, does not feel even a trace of security. In his mind, this palatial mansion was nothing more than a luxurious prison.

As the most distinguished prisoner in this luxurious prison, Jia Rudao did not go to the capital hall to deal with military affairs at this time, but just sat in his study, holding a letter, and looked at it carefully over and over again. I don't know how many times I've watched it. Liao Yingzhong pulled a chair and sat opposite him, also with a blue face.

The letter came from Taizhou, and it was sent by Jia Nidao's elder brother Jia Rude day and night.

The message in the letter can no longer be described as bad, but sensational! It's sensational bad news!

The more than 2,000 people of the famous family in Taizhou, Duqiao Du, regardless of age and age, regardless of men and women, were all killed by the Ming army! More than 2,000 people...... There are also many relatives of the Tiantai Jia family, a few are still old acquaintances of Jia Nidao, and a few are Jia Nidao's cousins, cousins, and nieces, all of whom were killed!

Among them, a few of them are Jia Yidao's cousin daughters, who are the same age as Hua'er and have only married Du Qiao not long ago. It turned out that they were all gone. This thief is really brutal, he. How can you do it?

Those people are all Lin'er's cousins and cousins!

Jia Rude's letter also said. Chen Ming's meticulous work has posted notices in various counties in Taizhou, to exterminate a few wealthy clans who have pulled up regimental training to fight against the great tomorrow soldiers! I also want to distribute the land of these wealthy families to the peasants and people who work for the Ming Dynasty!

Now all the famous families in Taizhou who participated in the regimental training are all in a panic! Everyone is afraid. They didn't dare to stay in their hometowns anymore, and a large number of them went to Tiantai County to hide--Jia Likee no longer dared to stay in Linhai County, so he moved his administrative office to Tiantai County, which was close to Tiantai Mountain, where the terrain was more dangerous.

However, Tiantai County is not a solid place, the place is narrow, and the products are not abundant. Tens of thousands of people poured in at once, including the Taizhou regimental training army, the regimental training of the various righteous families themselves, and the families of the children of the righteous families, a total of 30,000 or 40,000 people, all of which were about to burst the Tiantai county seat.

But once Tiantai County is not guaranteed, where can these 30,000 or 40,000 people go? Hiding in Tiantai Mountain?

It's all Xiucai and everyone's ladies, can you afford to go to the mountains to endure that hardship?

Therefore, in the letter, Jia Rude put forward an opinion, hoping that these 30,000 or 40,000 people should take refuge in Lin'an for the time being--Tiantai County is not too far from Lin'an, and Tiantai County is next to Xinchang County in Shaoxing Prefecture. When you arrive in Xinchang, there is a waterway that can go directly to Lin'an Mansion.

But the problem is that the current Lin'an Mansion City is crowded enough! With a population of 1.2 million, the city is certainly the most crowded city in the world. Previously, more than 100,000 people left one after another to go to Hongdu Mansion on Jiangnan West Road, but it didn't take long for many family members, children and servants of the Yimen of Qingyuan Mansion to rush into Lin'an, because Qingyuan Mansion was next to Zhoushan and was considered to be the first place for Chen Ming to attack. Suddenly the city became crowded again.

Worse. Chen Dexing also ordered the blockade of the shipping routes in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, cutting off the roads for grain from Huaixi, Jinghu, and Sichuan to enter the two provinces. And the grain of Liangjiang and Huaidong is now being requisitioned by Jiang Wanli and transported to Jiangxi in large quantities to be hoarded. As a basis for long-term resistance.

Although Jia Rudao also tried every means to mobilize grain from Pingjiang Mansion, Jiaxing Mansion and Huzhou, the granaries to which Liangzhe Road belonged, into Lin'an. However, with the landing of the Ming army in Shanghai, the famous families of Pingjiang and Jiaxing also fell into panic - these two prefectures have always been at the peak of their literary style. In particular, Pingjiang is known as the champion of Suzhou! In the previous imperial examinations in the Southern Song Dynasty, the scholars of Pingjiang and Jiaxing were also big winners. There are many people who call names outside the Donghua Gate. Now there are many officials from the two provinces who went to Hongdu with the Southern Song court, and many of the scholars from the two provinces who stayed in the local area also joined the regiment to defend the Great Song Dynasty and Confucius, Mencius, and Taoism.

Their families naturally didn't dare to stay in their hometown anymore and wait for the Ming army to come to the door, so they also ran to Lin'an in large numbers. The population of Lin'an has increased faster than the grain stockpile!

Now, even the righteous families in Taizhou, eastern Zhejiang, are coming to Lin'an, and there are still 30,000 or 40,000 people packing together!

How good is that?

With a snap, Jia Rudao shook his hand, slapped the paper letter on the desk, and a pair of hands that had begun to grow old age spots covered his face, and sighed deeply: "Taizhou people are coming to Lin'an...... If there are only 30,000 or 40,000 people in Taizhou, there is nothing, but once the news of the Du family being slaughtered spreads, I am afraid that it will not be the people of Taizhou who are going to Lin'an, but the entire famous family of Liangzhejiang Road will come to Lin'an! There are more than 200 people in the two Zhejiang Wang clans, and there are no less than two or three thousand dependents in each family, plus some servants and guards, no less than five or six hundred thousand people......"

“…… Coupled with the current population in Lin'an City, two million are almost the same! So many people have so many mouths, how much rice can they get a day to eat? If Lin'an is trapped, these two million people will have to eat up the city. Moreover, now Chen Dexing has banned the sea and smuggling, and more than 2 million industrial and commercial people in Lin'an, Shaoxing, and Qingyuan have lost their income. If the price of rice, grain, firewood and grass soars because of hundreds of thousands of people from outside, how can Lin'an Mansion keep it? If people's hearts are in turmoil, how can this Lin'an Mansion be able to hold on? ”

Hearing Jia Rudao's almost lamenting tone, Liao Ying's center was sour, and her eyes were full of tears. He couldn't figure out how the strategies he and Jia Nidao had figured out had finally become bad ideas to lift a stone and shoot himself at his feet? And how can that Chen Dexing be so ruthless! Taizhou Du's family is also Chen Dexing's distant relative! Why do you kill all of them without leaving them behind?

This is clearly the six relatives who don't recognize it! The relatives of the Du family don't recognize it, what about the relatives of the Jia family? Can Jia Rude's daughter still keep the rooftop Jia family?

And what will happen to the Shao Wu Liao clan themselves? Shao Wujun is not the same as those state capitals along the coast of Fujian Road, there are not so many businessmen, and studying for the imperial examination is the right way for the children of big families! Chen Dexing's imperial examination was to cut off the road for Shao Wu's children to advance, so Shao Wujun also had the regimental training army of Tingzhou and Jianning Mansion, which also belonged to the mountainous inland, and was the backbone of the Fujian Road regimental training army. And the children of Shao Wu Liao's family also regard participating in regimental training as a shortcut to progress......

This time, it won't be wiped out, right?

Liao Yingzhong took a deep breath and lowered her voice and said: "Taishi, now we can only let the famous families from all over the world come to Lin'an, and everyone can hope to make a living!" ”

Now it seems that it is no longer Baoda Song, but a way to make a living.

Jia seemed to have big eyes, just looking at Liao Yingzhong. Liao Yingzhong's face was already almost black. He said eloquently: "Chen Dexing's slaughter of Duqiao is nothing more than killing an example, so that Jiangnan Yimen does not dare to resist his thief soldiers!" Now the people of Jiangnan are terrified, if we don't let the righteous people take refuge in Lin'an, we are afraid that the righteous people in various places will succumb to the tyranny and obscenity. Of course, such a big Song Jiangshan is not guaranteed, and the heads of the Taishi and the students are afraid that they will also be obtained by the tyrant! The only way to do this now is to pinch the hundreds of thousands of righteous people in the two Zhejiang provinces and more than 100,000 regiments of training troops in their hands...... Then go negotiate with Chen Dexing! ”

"Negotiations? What to talk about? Jia Rudao looked at Liao Yingzhong and asked a little ignorantly.

Liao Yingzhong's expression did not move, and he said coldly: "Of course, it is the Shaowu Liao family that protects the Taishi and the students!" ”

"This is a traitor to the country for glory!" Jia Rudao shook his head again and again. What he wants to protect is still Da Song! Of course, this is also for his own sake, with Da Song here. He is like a Taoist to have glory and wealth, and the Jia family has glory and wealth.

If the Great Song Dynasty is gone......

Liao Yingzhong didn't pay attention to Jia Yidao, but said to herself: "Is there anything to sell in the Great Song Kingdom?" Chen Dexing forbade the sea and forbade smuggling, and the other killed and set an example, plus the imperial court itself moved west to Hongdu...... The hearts of the people in the two Zhejiang provinces are already in chaos. The local powerful clans all want to protect themselves, in the past, they also wanted to force Chen Ming to open the imperial examination, but now the Du family is wiped out...... They probably just want to save their families' lives!

And the industrial and commercial people in Lin'an, Qingyuan, and Shaoxing, who are big cities, are probably looking forward to the Ming army coming sooner. In this way, the ban on the sea can be lifted, and there will be no more waste paper to come and buy their things...... Although Chen Dexing treats scholars harshly, he has always been more preferential to the people of industry and commerce, why should these people of industry and commerce work for us?

Taishi, now what we can rely on is hundreds of thousands of strong clans in Liangzhejiang...... Only when everyone is in a group can they make a living under Chen Ming's butcher's knife! ”

Jia Rudao looked blank and sat in the chair. Liao Yingzhong is right. The ordinary people of the two Zhejiang, the people of industry and commerce, are now unreliable. The only one who can rely on it is a famous family. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, and maybe there was a fight!

Of course, it is a dream to ask everyone to fight for their lives to protect Da Song. Now is the time of great disaster, and self-protection is the first priority.

"Seek to make a living...... But will Chen Dexing give us a way out? Jia asked firmly.

This "we" are, of course, the Jia family and the Liao family. Other righteous sects, as long as they are willing to surrender, there should be no disaster of killing and exterminating the clan.

"Yes!" Liao Yingzhong took a deep breath, "And there is Chen Junzhi...... Chen Dexing has Shijue, Eight Banners, maritime merchants, and Heavenly Taoism, so he doesn't need a scholar. But Chen Junzhi is different, he has nothing in his hands...... The only one you can rely on is Dr. Jiang Nanshi! In fact, he himself is also a scholar in Jiangnan! (To be continued......)
