Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 702
At this time, more than half a month had passed since Shouchun learned that Jie Nu was about to invade the south on a large scale. If you add the time for the news to spread, then more than a month has passed since Jie Nu issued his call to action.

At this time, the news from the Northland is that Jienu Shihu is still gathering an army in Luoyang. It is said that more than [-] people have been assembled.

Of course, this is not enough to explain the inefficiency of Jienu. In fact, according to the conditions of ancient times, it is normal for a similar-scale recruitment of soldiers to be prepared for several months or even more than a year.Even in later generations, this level of mobilization cannot be completed in a short period of time.

If you don't consider the preparations before the announcement of the call, Jie Nu can mobilize more than [-] troops in more than a month, which is already very efficient.

Of course, on the one hand, this is also related to the characteristics of the Hulu regime. They are often keen to recruit a large number of people and place them in the heart of the ruled area, and directly exercise personal control. Once a big war happens, these people will naturally be killed Recruit into the army and become a stable soldier.

On the other hand, it is possible to mobilize an army of 20 in such a short period of time, plus the resources and equipment needed by the army.Based on Jie Nu's control over local states and counties, it can be imagined that this cannot be a normal requisition and mobilization at all, but should be based on looting and cleaning places!

In fact, this is indeed the case. Shen Zhezi is not clear about the situation in Henan, Yanzhou and other places farther away.But just looking at the situation of the counties near the north bank of the Huai River, Jie Nu has come to the south in a big way this time, and the search for the local area has reached an extreme!
Recently, with the Huainan Army's activities on the north bank of the Huai River, the number of refugee families who have crossed the Huai River and flowed into Shouchun has reached more than [-] families and more than [-] Dingkou!
Most of these people's hometowns are between Runan, Qiao, and Pei near the left, and they are still relatively far from the center of Jienu expropriation.But even so, the plundering has reached its peak.

According to the enlistment order, the national households in local counties must serve three men, regardless of gender, and all prime-years are included in the enlistment.Five households have one car, and at the same time, each must prepare grain and rice, and use the car to enter the official warehouse.

Such a harsh expropriation, even in the prosperous and stable Jiangdong Wu Township, can destroy the families forced by Xiaomin's family, let alone on the north bank of the Huai River, which has been in chaos for a long time!

Therefore, most of the households in Zuojin Prefecture and counties fled from their homes, and it was difficult to maintain their livelihood under such a tyrannical regime.As for the slave soldiers in Huaibei, although they did not perform well in the battle with the Huainan Army, they were very active when bullying the unarmed civilians.

Therefore, even without the Huainan Army's attack, the countryside in these places would have been in chaos and disorder, and most of the people had fled.As for those who can come across the Huai River, it is only a very small part.

After returning to the town, Shen Zhezi summoned some families of the Huaibei Township clan to inquire about some situations.After hearing these people describe the current chaos in Huaibei counties, I feel extremely bad.

It's not that he didn't think about increasing the investment in boats to accommodate more refugees from the south, but he had to face a helpless reality.Although the Huainan Army has the prosperity of boats, it does not mean that they can travel along the river unscrupulously.If you underestimate the northern slave soldiers, you may suffer a big loss.

What's more, the use of Huainan boats is also tight at the moment, and a considerable number of warships have to maintain the size of the navy.Another part has to maintain the transportation of goods and logistics, and it is impossible to dispatch too many ships to the north of the Huai River.

Moreover, when Shen Zhezi discussed matters with Du He earlier, he already felt that Huainan's internal affairs had reached a critical point.More refugees coming to the south will increase the burden of internal affairs to a greater extent.

Among these refugees, there are also clan organizations. Once they are not properly resettled, riots will likely occur, and then they will have disputes with the local families in Huainan, which will make Huainan, which has just restored order, become chaotic again.

But if this is ignored, and the compatriots who are close at hand are trampled by Hu Qi, then what is the significance of the Northern Expedition?Moreover, once a large number of these people are captured by slave riders, whether they are voluntary or not, they will be used by slaves. Instead, they will kill the king's division and bring more pressure to the Huainan army.

One person counts the short, so Shen Zhezi called together the generals who are still in the town to discuss how to solve this problem.

Today's military arrangement in Huainan is still based on the frontline defense of the original Liang County troops, such as Guo Song, Mao Bao, Lu Yong, Xu Mao and other veteran generals who can stand on their own are all leading the troops outside and guarding various places.

As for the newly built army of the local villagers, it will serve as the second echelon and be stationed in various parts of Huainan.Now that the enemy is at hand, the three highly independent Wubi military leaders like Ling Zhuo, Li Cang, and Feng Ju also sent their family and children to take part of the trilogy and obey orders in the town to help.

When Shen Zhezi raised this question, Qiao Qiu, who was in charge and also led the army, said: "When the king enters the town, the general storehouse is stored in Tianjin, and the villagers who have been sick for a long time are fed. This environment has not had food and clothing for decades. Benevolence and righteousness Dazhi, the villagers are all grateful. Now that the Huai River is in turmoil and the people are not able to live, we and the villagers naturally do not want to enjoy the good alone, and are willing to share the richness with the rest. But the current military situation is like a fire. If the river defense is opened up, it is very likely that Chaos inside!"

"Jiang Fang must not be opened. At this time, only military affairs come first, and the rest must be left behind!"

Of course, Shen Zhezi knew the priorities, and he would never be kind enough to cause even greater disasters. This time, he hoped to discuss a plan that could save as many people in Huaibei as possible while maintaining the current military defense affairs. method.

"The forced slaves will come in no time. If Shouchun doesn't guard, there will be more victims. However, hearing and seeing the people in Huaibei is really painful. I am new to the town, so I have a little understanding of the situation. Many of you have lived in this town for a long time, but besides Shouchun, can you choose another place to resettle those poor people?"

Shen Zhezi's question was mainly asked by the local villagers, like Han Huang, Hu Run and others, whose understanding of the place was not as good as his own, so it was useless to ask.

After hearing this question, everyone was silent and began to think.The fierce conquest of the slaves in Huaibei was outrageous, and they were also very fortunate. Fortunately, they were able to stay away from disaster after Master Wang recovered Shouchun.Otherwise, the current situation in Shouchun may not be better than that of Huaibei counties.

Although they may not be from Huainan, they are actually not lacking in vigilance for those who come later because of the problem of first come first come first.But since the son-in-law has promised not to tamper with Shouchun's current situation, he is naturally willing to help these compatriots as much as he can.

After a while, one of the people at the table spoke up: "Besides Shouchun, it's not that there is no choice. I'm just a little opinion. Since I have a question, I will make a little discussion. As for the choice and whether it is feasible, I still have to ask you." You and you discuss together."
