For refugees, Qin Shuhuai is ready to adopt the method of "work for relief". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Specifically, the gentry in the county or city affected by the rogue invaders took the lead in organizing the refugees to build their own homes, and then paid them according to the hours they worked. This remuneration can be paid by the local squire, and the imperial court can also pay some. This part of the money paid by the imperial court should be regarded as the cost of relocating those who surrendered in the past, and in any case, it is always more reasonable to resettle refugees than to resettle rogues, right? Moreover, most of the ancient Chinese gentry class also had the aristocratic spirit of helping the needy, and in addition the rebuilt homes were actually their homes, so it was not difficult for them to pay for them.

In this way, the refugees will not rebel when they have jobs.

In addition, if these squires are mobilized, then the power of the county or city that has been ransacked by the rogues can be temporarily vacuumed, and even if there is no county order, it can drag him for several months.

At that time, whether it is to select qualified officials locally, or to find someone appointed by Chongzhen himself, there will be enough time.

The Donglin Party wants to send its own people to those places again?

In this way, the refugee problem can be solved, and all the grassroots officials can be replaced by non-Donglin Party members in one city, one pond, and one county, so that all the trilateral areas from top to bottom, from soldiers to civilian officials, can be controlled by Chongzhen.

Chongzhen's bargaining chips for the war against the Donglin Party are more than doubled!

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but smile proudly.

Well, let's call this the "Dai County Model".

Qin Shuhuai glanced at Lai San'er, and Lai San'er immediately took out 10,000 taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Huang Jinglun.

When Huang Jinglun took the silver ticket, his hands trembled slightly.

This is the trust that the minister has in him.

It is undoubtedly the most affirmed virtue and ethics in his life.

"Decay...... Replace all the people in the county, thank you Lord Qin!"

So saying, he knelt down with all the people.

Qin Shuhuai immediately stepped forward to help him and said, "Everyone, please get up, please get up quickly." ”

......

That night, all the squires of Dai County were summoned to the county government, and under the auspices of Qin Shuhuai, they generously donated more than 8,000 taels of silver and more than 800 quintals of grain. plus Qin Shuhuai's 10,000 taels of silver, it is enough for more than 1,000 people to eat for half a year, and at the same time build more than 100 rooms to live in.

The refugees had a way to live, and all of them were in tears.

At this moment, a pot-bellied squire suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Qin Shaobao, there is no problem in rebuilding Dai County, but I want to ask, what if that thief comes to invade Dai County again?"

This question is very damaging to the atmosphere, and it doesn't give Qin Shuhuai much face, but it is asking the truth.

Everyone looked at Qin Shuhuai in unison, and it was obvious that they also wanted to know the answer.

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "That's a good question, I just wanted to tell you." The nearest official battalion in Dai County should be the former Yuanwei battalion about 80 miles away, where there are 8,000 officers and soldiers. If there are rogues in Dai County, you can ask them for help. However, when the thieves arrived in Dai County to ask for help, it was naturally too late. Therefore, you should send good horsemen to set up secret guards on all major roads 50 miles away from Dai County, monitor them day and night, and if you find any trace of the rogues, you will immediately report to the former guard camp. If you have more riders on the way to the camp of the former guard, say one every 20 miles, then you can quickly relay the horses. At that time, no matter which direction you find a rogue, you can report it to the officers and soldiers within an hour. In this way, even if the thieves enter the city, they will definitely have to leave before they have time to loot. ”

Everyone fell silent, and their hearts were counting the time.

Dai County has a city wall, and if the thieves want to enter the city, they must bring earth cannons, city ladders and other baggage, so that they can't walk fast, at most the speed of people walking. In addition, because of the baggage, they have to take a relatively flat official road or the main road, which is indeed easy to find.

If they could be found fifty miles away, they would have to walk for at least two and a half hours to reach Dai County. With the time to prepare, it will take at least three hours to attack.

The riders ran to the Taiyuan camp and spent an hour, and the officers and soldiers of the former guard rushed over, because they did not attack the city, so they did not need to bring baggage, and if they marched in a hurry, 80 miles and two hours were enough. Combined with the time they took to gather their soldiers, it would not take more than two and a half hours at most.

Therefore, as long as Dai County can withstand the attack of the Liukou for half an hour, the official army can arrive.

And it is relatively easy to rely on the city wall to withstand half an hour, because the people who come to attack Dai County are generally small groups of rogues. Before, Zhang County's order said that there were 6,000 rogues who came to attack this time, which was complete nonsense, but in fact, there were less than 3,000 rogues who came to attack this time.

As for whether the officers and soldiers will come as soon as they receive the report?

There is no need to worry, anyway, the officials and soldiers are still relatively positive, but the reaction is always half a beat slow.

They were right.

The officers and soldiers are very fond of fighting small groups of rogues. Because it is not difficult to fight these rabble, and they can still make achievements, why not do it? Of course, there are only two things to say about beating such a big scoundrel as Zhang Xianzhong.

After hearing this, the squire nodded involuntarily and said, "Lord Qin is right. If we want to keep the peace, we can't rely on the officials and the army alone, we have to act on our own. I'm willing to sponsor five fast horses for this!"

"Three horses!"

"I'm two!"

One of the officials of the yamen came out and said, "There are three fast horses in the yamen. In addition, General Wang's troops also left more than 20 fast horses, and we hid in the woods in the north of the county. As for the good horseback riders, there are still quite a few in our county. ”

"Then it's decided!"

Everyone unanimously passed.

Qin Shuhuai was very satisfied.

Then he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to be more safe, I suggest that you contact the people of the neighboring counties and let them organize themselves like you. If each county and every city unites and everyone cooperates with each other to defend each other, I think we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. For example, more than 50 miles east of Dai County is Mao County, you can ask them to send some people and horses, and everyone will monitor the Liukou together!"

If every county does this, then the officials and soldiers will have countless more eyeliners, and it will be easy to grasp the whereabouts of the rogue.

This is called mobilizing the people and letting the rogues fall into the vast sea of people's war.

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed expressions of sudden realization.

That's right, this rogue doesn't just pick one of our counties to rob, he also robs other counties.

As long as all counties send open posts and secret sentinels to monitor the rogues, won't it be clear where the rogues are coming from and where they are going? What are we afraid of him doing?

Lord Qin's method is really amazing!

is worthy of being the one who plays Huang Taiji!

The next day, Qin Shuhuai led the team to continue to set off, sending off the people of the county on the road. Since all their supplies were distributed to the refugees before, the squire of Dai County gathered two more truckloads of supplies early in the morning and sent them to Qin Shuhuai.

Qin Shuhuai resolutely refused, saying that the materials could be bought in the next county, and the materials would be left to the refugees.

Everyone was grateful.

After leaving Dai County, Qin Shuhuai and his entourage had to go in and meet the local squires every time they passed through a county seat, and tell them how to prevent rogue in Dai County. The reason why he communicated with the squires was because the grassroots rule in ancient China was originally highly dependent on the squire.

For example, in addition to the implementation of the Ming law, there are also township rules and conventions, which are drawn up by the gentry class. Don't underestimate these township rules and conventions, in the Ming Dynasty, when the legal system was not perfect, as long as the township rules and conventions did not conflict with the Ming law, it was a supplement to the Ming law, and sometimes officials would refer to it in their judgments.

His name was like thunder, and his method was practical, so these squires thought it was true, and said that they would implement it as soon as possible.
