The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 607 Central Plains Layout
Gao Zhiyong led all the subordinate officials in the two counties of Suizhou to register as refugees, and he was not serious about his work.

This Mr. Gao belongs to a Ming official with a good conscience. His family is relatively well-to-do. He was an official for the sake of his future. He has never scraped the land. It’s just that he can’t refuse and can’t refuse according to the rule of Ming Dynasty, otherwise he will be punished by the scholar-official Classes are treated as alternatives.

Gao Zhimou worked as a magistrate for seven or eight years, but he didn't earn a tael of silver to go home. His father, Gao Di, not only did not blame his son, but also sent his servants to send silver subsidies from time to time.This is of course the heart of a loving father. He hopes that his son will go straight to the top and the Gao family will have successors.

But it is not easy to be a local official nowadays, especially in the Chongzhen year, too many scholar-bureaucrats were mercilessly clicked by the emperor because they lost their trust. Gao Di used his connections to ask the "God of War" servant to help his son guard the soil, of course he found the right person.

Safeguarding the people, guarding the land, and training self-protection arms, everyone in the Huang family is a professional counterpart!
When the Huang family came to Suizhou, they immediately started working step by step. Ma Yue, Xu Sijiu, and Sun Zhenhuai led people to select young and strong from families with complete families, and each gave a gun produced by the Huang family.

Soon Xiangyong, holding a wooden spear in his hand, formed [-] people. Each of them wore a red armband on their arms. The unit of [-] people was led by the Huang family's private soldiers to participate in maintaining law and order.

Each armband will indicate the number of the owner, and you can immediately find out which president the owner belongs to, who the chief officer is, where the person is from, and how many immediate family members there are.

The Military Intelligence Department operating in Henan also came to help the refugees. Under the escort of Ma Shihu's cavalry, they organized the refugees Qing Zhuang to transport five thousand shi of grain in a wheelbarrow.

The soldiers and civilians in Suizhou immediately felt relieved when they saw the food in the wheelbarrows. Gao Zhiyong, who had been restless for days, could finally sleep peacefully.

Ma Yue knew that the cause of the chaos in Henan was the lack of food. He personally took two thousand Xiangyongs to Haizhou Port to continue transporting grain, and at the same time escorted the family members of these two thousand Xiangyongs to Haizhou Port.

These 5000 people came to the camp built by Huang's family two years ago. There are collective dormitories here, which are completely militarized. Each room can accommodate 80 people.

The family members of Xiangyong only rested for three days, and a merchant ship going south for supplies took them to Cochin Province.

Ma Yue mobilized [-] wheelbarrows and applied for more wheelbarrows to be delivered to Haizhou Port, because after walking the road from Suizhou to Haizhou Port, he found that only using wheelbarrows to transport was in line with the actual situation.

Haizhou Port is more than [-] miles from Suizhou, which is not too far away. Not a single bandit or bandit dared to make a move in the mighty team.

These ordinary people who are accustomed to hardship can walk a hundred miles a day when they can get [-]% of their food, and the speed of pushing a wheelbarrow is no slower than walking.

A steady stream of food is transported from the sea to the inland. The townspeople from Suizhou take turns to go to Haizhou. When they go, they can take the elderly, weak, women and children on their wheelbarrows, and when they come back, they are full of food.

It's a pity that the efficiency is too low. Only [-] shi of grain can be transported in at a time. It takes more than [-] days to go back and forth, and more than half of it is consumed on the way.

Fortunately, Xiangyong's family members will be sent to Haizhou every time the grain is transported. The number of refugees in Suizhou is decreasing, and the grain stock has begun to grow positively.

However, within a few days, the number of refugees who started to decrease obviously increased again. It was because the refugees who were farther away from Suizhou learned that Suizhou had food to survive, and the hungry people who had become blind people came here to support the old and the young.

Xu Sijiu, Ma Yue and the others organized the village braves to continuously transport food, and organized the refugees to migrate eastward in time. The busy work did not come to an end until the autumn harvest.

Although the food production is limited in the year of the disaster, there will always be some harvests. After the autumn when the food crisis is slightly alleviated, the momentum of the swarms of refugees is temporarily curbed.

There are as many as 7000 Xiangyong in Suizhou. Many of them have made a trip or two to Haizhou Port, and they have seen their families get food with their own eyes.

All the Xiangyong are more disciplined, because if they don't work according to the Huang family's regulations, they may be separated from their families, and they may not be found in the world from now on.

This is because the serial number of each villager corresponds to their family, and there will be detailed records of where each family is resettled.

If any village brave disobeyed the collective arrangement and ran around indiscriminately, the consequences would be very serious. If he lost his identification armband and forgot his number, he would really never see his family again.

The Xiangyong who stayed in Suizhou no longer had to worry about the future. They received training every day, and after a few months, they had a certain combat effectiveness, but they were not enough to fight against the regular army because they did not have bows and armor.

But it is more than enough to deal with the mob, and the crossbows and armor owned by the mob are not worth mentioning. There are [-] officers from the Huang family's army, including Zhu Guobing, who are unambiguous.

They are omnipotent in cavalry combat, foot combat, hot weapons, and cold weapons, and it is easy to kill armed mob leaders with short guns and flintlock spears.

These six or seven thousand Xiangyong worked with the Huang family's private soldiers and trained for half a year, and their loyalty was no longer a problem, not only because the Huang family paid them food and salaries.

The most important thing is that their relatives have been taken to live in the Huang family system, and their training and work performance will directly affect the treatment of their relatives.

Xu Sijiu's propaganda team not only launched propaganda for the refugees, but also spared no effort to educate the villagers. Now the propaganda team has expanded, and Xu Sijiu has selected many troubled children to join.

Daming's aggression is strange, most of the scholars are superficial, very weak, too many scholars can't do physical work, and the Huang family doesn't want anyone who can work to do nothing.

Therefore, the propaganda team has absorbed many poor scholars, most of them are not scholars, they belong to the embarrassing group of children who are not high enough to be low, and it is more suitable to come to the propaganda team to write, draw, draw and play tricks.

Now there are slogans or posters on every eye-catching wall in Guide Mansion. The content is of course calling on the common people not to follow the thieves, as long as they find Nan Guogong's servants, everyone will have a way to survive.

At the same time, the propaganda team publicized the warning issued by the "God of War" that any gangster who dared to wantonly massacre the common people, even if the "God of War" troops chased them to the ends of the earth, they would skin them one by one.

Since the autumn harvest has just started, Henan has more or less harvested, and the large-scale gathering of refugees has eased. Ma Yue's pressure has been relieved a lot, and they can free up their hands to train Xiangyong.

Ma Yue, the former trainee of the personal army team, is now full of confidence. He believes that as long as he has money, food and equipment, a team of [-] people in Suizhou will form a combat effectiveness in half a year.
