The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 487
Huang Sheng convened a meeting of officials above the fifth grade in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian to report the results of the suppression of bandits in the South China Sea. He informed everyone that the cavalry from Liaodong was in place, and that he would lead the troops to take command in Qinzhou Prefecture, which was repeatedly harassed by Guo Huaiyi. .

If Guo Huaiyi still dares to come, with the Liaodong iron cavalry rushing, it is guaranteed that even a pirate who goes ashore will not be able to escape.

Liaodong iron cavalry was a strong army in the border town of Daming, and Master Huang's iron cavalry was the strongest among the best. His cavalry killed all the invincible Jurchen cavalry, and it should be unmatched.

The civil and military ministers of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian who have been trembling all the time have a backbone, and it seems that there is no problem with sticking to the coast!Then everyone heard better news.

Huang Sheng and Yan Yuese let the officials in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian perform their duties, telling them that they don't need to worry about the Guo Huaiyi pirate group raiding the coast, and let them urge the common people to work with peace of mind.

Because Guo Huaiyi was under the deterrence of the Ming army's force, he had already begun to retreat to Hainan Island in an attempt to hold on, and sent envoys to negotiate with General Huang Mingdao.

This is because the navy of North Korea's Xin Haijun has arrived. They have nearly [-] warships for reinforcements along the way, and General Huang Mingdao has also organized nearly [-] warships and merchant ships to stand ready.

Guo Huai wanted to accept the recruitment. If the imperial court allowed him to be the commander-in-chief of a province and agreed that his navy would be stationed on Hainan Island, he would immediately accept the recruitment.

Huang Sheng asked the civil and military officials who had direct access to the heaven to listen to the authority to write a letter to express their opinions, and especially urged those censors to dare to speak out, and told everyone implicitly that if they successfully recruited Guo Huaiyi to benefit the country and the people, the court would probably not reward you for their merits. few.

He also clarified his attitude with righteous words. It is wishful thinking for Guo Huaiyi to become a provincial military officer. It would be great to give him a coastal defense guerrilla general. He can consider stationing in Hainan Island, but he can only have a seaport to stand on. , You can let him choose a residence in ten counties in Hainan.

In the end, Huang Sheng also humbly expressed that he is young, and his ideas may not be mature. You adults must not think about things based on his attitude, but have your own views, and strive to be independent and solve problems for the court.

Hearing that Guo Huaiyi had been beaten from the offensive to the defensive by Master Huang, the god of war, all the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.

After listening to Guo Huaiyi's asking price and the governor's counter-offer, there are no fools in the officialdom, and each of them has an idea. It seems that if he agrees with the governor, he will win the battle against the thief.
Ever since, after the meeting was over, a letter of memorial floated to the desk of Longshu in the Forbidden City like snowflakes. The naughty Huang Sheng didn't write the memorial at all to talk about how to appease Guo Huaiyi, but asked these adults to find out the tone of the court.

After the Double Ninth Festival, many people with children and daughters came to seek refuge. Secretary Mei Xiang and Linger took more than 100 women to visit those refugees every day.

Those who were able to travel long distances here should still be not very hungry and have some physical strength. Although many of them are disheveled, they have accepted the management of Huang's private soldiers for a period of time and are in good order.

Many people had anticipation in their eyes. The selected young and strong, one by one, held wooden sticks and practiced in formation under the command of Huang's private soldiers. There were as many as [-] people.

Huang Sheng is not pretending to be kind to the poor people. As long as they are supported at this time, these Han people will be the elements for future world hegemony. They will become workers, farmers, and soldiers, and their footprints will spread all over the world.

As long as Huang Sheng had time, he would go to the refugee gathering places outside the city for on-the-spot inspections, but he couldn't conduct private visits. Even if Huang Sheng wanted to do so, Liu Guozheng would not agree.

After all, there are 10,000+ people from several provinces who have never met before, and there will definitely be some young people. In fact, the proportion of bad guys who take risks among the poor is much higher than that of the rich. For example, robbers and murderers, are there multi-millionaires?Even if it is possible, it is an exception.

Historical experience tells us that "poorness breeds malice and richness grows conscience". There are indeed many people who are unkind to the rich, but the proportion is still not high.

Liu Guozheng, in order to ensure safety, the head of the family always went to visit the refugees with at least one hundred soldiers to follow, Huang Sheng had no choice but to be so powerful and so often involuntary!Therefore, if an official has been in office for a long time, he will inevitably become separated from the masses.

When he came to the refugee gathering place, Huang Sheng really couldn't see the most primitive situation. He could only see the medical soldiers of Huang's family treating the patients and seeing the gratitude of the people.

Whenever people found that the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi came to visit everyone, they knelt down on the ground at a distance.

It has never been found that the women of the people are blocking the way and calling for grievances, and it is difficult for the common people to even look up.

From this we can see how easy it is to manage the Han people. They are naturally afraid of power. As long as the government does a little bit to let them get half full, no matter how bad they are, they will not rise up.

It's a pity that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for too many ordinary people to be able to mix wild vegetables and bark to eat half full. Who is to blame for the raging war?

Although he couldn't see the real situation with his own eyes, Huang Sheng still visited the refugees often. This was the posture, and this was the patriarch's attitude towards the refugees from all over the country.

After a few days of contact between Mei Xiang and Ling'er, they learned a lot about the situation. Huang Sheng was relieved to learn that Gou'er and the others were indeed courageous in serving the people with a heart of love for the people. He praised many outstanding officers and soldiers on the spot.

Soldiers and civilians who love fish and water and love the people like children were invited by the propaganda team to participate in the rally, and they were asked to talk about how to treat the common people well.

Of course, there will also be ordinary people who have been helped to speak out, and they all tearfully told that if they hadn't met the Bodhisattva soldiers of Lord Huang Sheng, the God of War, their family might have died in Huangquan long ago.

The effect was so good that the common people, on the premise of receiving real help and being able to eat enough, were instilled every day how the Huang family's private soldiers loved the people. At this time, they all had the consciousness to follow Mr. Huang Sheng for the rest of their lives.

Lin Shunshi, a scholar, and his family have been living with Huang Sheng's team for two months. With the monthly payment, he can eat well and eat well, and his complexion has improved a lot. The shirt doesn't look downcast at all.

He has been involved in filling out the resumes of the refugees and compiling the household registration books. This is a huge and important task. The refugees speak different accents, and more than [-]% of them cannot write. Lin Shunshi has shown enough patience and treats every refugee with a pleasant face.

He used to accept cheap food in the soup kitchen and was humiliated by the servants. Now that he has become a public servant, of course he will not change his face immediately.

The copywriting is too cumbersome. There are more than 100 scholars doing the same job as Lin Shunshi. The household registration book is an important basis for the upcoming compilation of Baojia, so it must not be sloppy.

Mei Xiang and the others selected hundreds of scholars and arranged jobs for the rewards, leaving more than 200 literate women to receive training. Among the [-] to [-] refugees, not even half of them could write and count.

Huang Sheng continued to wait for five days while training soldiers, and arranged for Zhaoqing officials to find out that the refugees had to be given food and clothing to ask for a living, and then directed them to Qinzhou.

In mid-September, I led a large army and civilian husbands to set off. The destination: the Fangchenggang area under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou for later generations.
