Chapter 46: Buying People's Hearts

Yu Xiaotian himself was taken aback by these supplies, and even if he changed his mind, he ordered the Seventh Brigade to be immediately transferred over for reinforcements to protect the personnel and materials here, so as not to be taken advantage of by the officers and soldiers to pick up the leaks.

He knows very well what kind of virtue the official army is, if there is a advantage, it is not them, and now the court must be very jealous of him, and when he hears that he has defeated the army of Jiannu, he will definitely want to take advantage of his vitality after the war, and take the opportunity to send troops to do him.

Therefore, the officers and troops in Baoding, which is very close to here, will definitely attack soon, and if these materials are not protected, it will be equivalent to making a pot of ready-made rice for the officers and soldiers, so that they can make a big catch.

Originally, his plan was to get these materials, and immediately set off to shrink back to Tianjin Wei, continue to build momentum, let the imperial court do it first, put him on a moral high ground, and then attack Jingshi.

But now it seems that it is a bit difficult for so many materials to be transferred to Tianjin Wei soon.

So he made some adjustments to the original plan, transferred the seventh brigade to reinforce here, and worked with the first brigade to protect the materials and people in this area from being invaded by the official army, and the second and fourth brigades did not return to Tianjin Wei for the time being, but after gathering troops, they first went to the west of Jinghai to fortify, and first stared at the officers and troops commanded by Chen Xinjia on the side of Baoding.

And Yu Xiaotian's decision, unexpectedly became a reality, and then sure enough, the imperial court issued an order, so that Chen Xinjia led 30,000 elite soldiers in the Baoding area, and killed Tianjin Wei, on the way, he learned that Jiannu abandoned a large number of goods in the area of Jinghai County, so Chen Xinjia immediately ordered to seize these goods first, and ran into Yu's army.

However, this matter will be talked about in two days, after Yu Xiaotian arrived here, he didn't pay too much attention to the matter of materials, and handed it over to his subordinates to deal with, but first put all his attention on these hundreds of thousands of refugees.

Yu Xiaotian personally inspected the refugee camp here, these refugees are all yellow and thin, exhausted, and in tattered clothes, especially some teenagers and women, because they can't grab food on the road for a long time, they are all starved and on the verge of life and death, when they know that they have been rescued, many people breathe a sigh of relief, and they suddenly lose their strength, and they lie on the ground and can't stand up.

Those young women were even more ruined by Jiannu, Mongolians, Koreans, and scumbags among some refugees along the way, and they were almost inhuman, completely devoid of the brilliance of normal people.

Some people were sick and almost incapacitated on the way because of fatigue, hunger and beatings, which can be said to be miserable.

Yu Xiaotian looked at this scene, and his heart could be said to be mixed, the weakness of a country, the incompetence of the court and the government, and in the end, the suffering could only be borne by the people.

If it weren't for his brazen Northern Expedition this time, intercepting these Jiannu army, defeating and scattering them, and saving these five or six hundred thousand refugees, the vast majority of them would have been taken outside the customs and become Jiannu's clothed slaves, and it is estimated that seventy or eighty percent of them would not have survived for long.

Fortunately, he won this battle, which can be regarded as a temporary end to their unfortunate fate, but if he does not do well enough, it is estimated that these refugees will still become victims of the war.

So when he saw this scene, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and secretly made up his mind that he must overthrow the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible and settle down the world of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible, otherwise, I don't know how many more such people will have to endure such suffering.

After Yu Xiaotian appeared, the refugees learned the news, and immediately many people cried loudly again, hula la's kneeling everywhere, crying and thanksgiving cries all over the mountains, so that Yu Xiaotian was busy along the way to appease these refugees.

It was not until he had inspected the entire refugee area that Yu Xiaotian ordered the personnel who had been selected in advance to manage the refugees to be brought to his camp and met with them in person.

Most of these people are some scholars, or some people with good names in various places, and some people who have a sense of justice and the like folk knights, after being coerced by Jiannu, because of their weak strength, they dare not resist, but they also did not help Jiannu to do evil and harm refugees.

Especially for these people who are hidden among the refugees, secretly help the weak, gain a good reputation, and are elected by the refugees to manage them, Yu Xiaotian gave them special respect, personally bowed to them, and thanked them on behalf of the people of the world.

Where did these people think that a dignified and important general would look down on them so highly, so they were very excited, and quickly knelt in a hula.

Yu Xiaotian stretched out his hand, asked them to get up, took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Yu Mou's gift, you should be able to bear it!" Since I came here today, I have heard a lot about how you are reaching out on the way to help the weaker among the refugees, which is a great act of righteousness!

The people I respect most in my life are people like you! Compared with those villains who were killed yesterday, each of you is a high-spirited person, how can you not bear such a courtesy?

So Yu Mou invited you to come over today, just to say thank you! On behalf of these suffering people, thank you! So you're welcome! Because you can afford it! ”

"After coming here today to see the situation here, Yu is deeply saddened! As a general, Yu felt that it was too late this time! If Yu can come earlier, you can suffer less! Save some more!

However, Yu was afraid that the imperial court did not issue an order to send us to the north to fight against the Tartars, and he hesitated for a long time and did not dare to move, and asked for the order to go north many times, but he was never called.

It's a pity that Yu is still late! Let Jiannu be so deeply troubled! It also made everyone suffer, if Yu Mou could have less worries, he would not have let Jiannu be so arrogant if he came earlier! ”

When Yu Xiaotian said this, he showed a distressed expression, and sighed again and again as if he was blaming himself, but he was still very disgusted in his heart, for the sake of the world, when did he become so good at staring and talking nonsense?

In this performance, even he himself was disgusted enough, but he couldn't help but perform, this is the best time to win the hearts of the people!

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, many people present suddenly cried again, knelt down here, and even called Yu Xiaotian a great righteousness, all kinds of beautiful words, and threw them to Yu Xiaotian without hesitation at this time, making Yu Xiaotian turn around and vomit, even ashamed.

But then after Yu Xiaotian stopped everyone singing praises for him, his face changed, and he spoke again: "But what I don't know is that when Yu led the army to the north and rashly came to Tianjin to block the way of Jiannu when he was not edicted, he never thought that the current saint would immediately order me to lead my troops back to Fujian, and punish me."

Although Yu Mou, as a major general of the Ming Dynasty, should have acted according to the order, but when he learned that the Jiannu army would coerce you and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians away, Yu Mou really couldn't bear it, so in the end, he still resisted the order and disrespected it, and blocked the Jiannu army in Tianjin.

Yu was in a hurry in this action, the soldiers he brought were limited, and he also failed to prepare the soldiers' food and salaries, so he rashly set up troops, and after arriving in Tianjin, Yu asked the court for food and help many times, but the court has not sent a single soldier so far, and has not allocated even a lot of money to a certain grain of grain!

Do you know that in a certain army, the food has been almost exhausted in the past few days, and the soldiers can only eat one meal a day, and even kill horses to feed the soldiers, but even so, these sons and daughters still endure hunger, and they have been fighting fiercely in the Jiannu army for more than half a month, and God will not live up to me.

Now I can also tell you a piece of good news, that is, the slave chief Dorgon, who had built the slave army on this trip, had been beheaded by our army in front of the two armies in the decisive battle with me a few days ago.

If this time, the imperial court can send additional reinforcements in time according to Yu's request, cooperate with a certain army, and attack the Jiannu army in two phases, it is estimated that the Jiannu army has already been defeated and you will be saved, and it will not make you suffer so many more days! Saying this, Yu Xiaotian showed a look of anger and injustice, his face turned iron-blue, and he clenched his fists.

When the hundreds of people gathered here heard this, they were all taken aback, how could they, as scholars or people with some knowledge, not know how great a sin it was to resist the decree and disrespect it? Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaotian did not follow the order this time, so he raised troops to the north without authorization, which is at this time, but it is a big crime to destroy the nine clans!

Thinking that when Chongzhen was in the ninth year, Jiannu entered the customs, Jinggi was in danger, and the king of Tang raised troops to try to serve the king, but before he reached the Beijing division, he was intercepted in Kaifeng, and the king of Tang was demoted to a commoner because of this incident.

Yu Xiaotian is just a Fujian general soldier, and he has the title of governor and Tongzhi, is he more powerful than the Tang King? This is a great sin!

But I didn't expect Yu Xiaotian to dare to resist the decree and disrespect, refuse to withdraw and return to Fujian, but insisted on staying to block the Jiannu army and save them as refugees.

These refugees, the news is very closed at this time, that is, yesterday I heard a little about the Yu family army rashly going north to fight against the Jiannu army, but they don't know anything about the specific situation.

Now listening to Yu Xiaotian's own words, I know that the original imperial court would actually do such a thing, knowing that so many of their people were coerced by Jiannu and wanted to take them out of the customs, but they actually turned a blind eye, the garrison did not stop the Jiannu army, but did not send a soldier to reinforce the Yu family army, and did not allocate a grain of grain to the Yu family army, how could the emperor of the court be so bastard?
