The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 621

Guo Sanxi, Zhu Guobing and other 700 officers stayed in Yiyang County. They selected [-] of the more than [-] township bravery who had made great achievements in this battle and promoted them as auxiliary soldiers.

Give them the treatment of eight buckets of rice and one tael or five silver coins per month and stay with them.

These township braves happily chose to become auxiliary soldiers, and they were not afraid of stationing in Yiyang County, because they participated in the Yiyang siege battle and found that the rogues they faced were simply vulnerable.

It is said that they will get sharp musket equipment soon, and everyone thinks that they will beat them even more when they face the rogues again.

The village braves who voluntarily asked to stay in Yiyang have nothing to worry about. Their family members have already gone south to Cochin Province, and there are more than one male in the family.

The money and rations they earn as soldiers can be received by their families, and they can earn considerable rations for impoverished families, so that their families can live in brick houses as soon as possible.

This is the virtue of most Han people. In order to manage their small families well, too many men are willing to give without complaint or regret. They are not afraid of hardships or tiredness and dare to take risks for their parents, wives and children to live a good life.

Xu Sijiu led the migratory team back eastward, stretching for more than ten miles, and there were countless refugees along the way.

Such a huge team is not something that any group of bandits can covet. Most of the bandits who cut the trail abandoned the stronghold and fled far away, and many ordinary people were able to gather in the team.

In the chaotic times of war and chaos, it takes good luck for every family to escape in order to go far.

Because there are often three or five groups of robbers in dense forests and hills, it is considered lucky for ordinary people who have fled to become corpses on the side of the road, and it is not uncommon for them to become broth in the robbers' pot.

The Huang family led Xiangyong to clean up the areas occupied by bandits who might hinder the refugees from reaching the official road. The attack was accurate and easy.

Because there are too many refugees who suffered losses on the road and were killed by bandits and robbed life-saving food, they took the initiative to take their troops to suppress the bandits.

The bandits in the Xiaoju mountain forest belonged to a mob, their combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning, their equipment was poor, and the bandit leader had no experience in fighting against the regular army at all.

The officers of the Huang family carried out beheading operations with precise shots from flintlock guns. Every time they shot the bandit leader to death at a distance of one hundred steps, the crowd would immediately disperse.

Too many refugees came to the official road and gathered together. When there are so many people, small-scale bandits dare not covet them.

But the refugees have no discipline at all. Stealing, robbing each other of food, and even killing other people's women and children in partnership, such inhumane evils will happen.

All the ugliness in the world are exposed in broad daylight because there is no food.

Huang Sheng's plan in advance is to obtain a large amount of food. When facing the hungry people who are crying for food, only food can be convincing. If you talk too much, you can't eat it. Which refugee will listen to your lectures hungry?

Huang Sheng's purchase of Guangnan's rice without lowering the price is also to increase the added value of their rice cultivation and increase Guangnan's enthusiasm for exporting grain.

In the Central Plains, which was ravaged by bandits, officers and soldiers came to suppress the bandits on a large scale and increased the pressure on food supply. Because there was not enough food, the court simply lost its rules.

The imperial court couldn't make a choice in the face of the refugees. These people were good citizens when they first escaped, but they watched their relatives starve to death continuously, and were even eaten after being attacked by others.

A lot of grievances and anger accumulated in his chest, and when he was slightly bewitched by the thieves with ulterior motives, the good people gradually turned into mobs.

Due to too little food and too many people, even the officers and soldiers began to starve. How could organized and powerful groups starve themselves to death? Humanity was annihilated, massacres began to spread, and the only way out for kind people was to die.

To sum up, food is the only element to untie this knot.

The common people in the Central Plains who followed the Huang family were undoubtedly the lucky ones, and Huang Sheng would definitely be able to guarantee their food and clothing.

On the noisy official road, Xiangyong with an armband pinned to his arm held a wooden spear to maintain order. Three thousand wheelbarrows, some ox carts, and horse carts were full of old and young women and children.

The collective appeal is incomparable. These ordinary people who have just had a full meal for a few days no longer hesitate. They respect power and obey arrangements, and the immigrant army is orderly.

In troubled times, heavy codes are used, and there have been a few green skins and gangsters in the refugee team who still bully men and women.

The private soldiers of the Huang family hated these scumbags the most. After encouraging the masses to report, several hooligan gangs were hunted down, and a sentencing meeting was held at night when they camped.

All the good people clapped their hands and applauded, and all Xiaoxiao was shocked. Everyone finally knew that "God of War" not only has the heart of a Bodhisattva, but also has the means of thunderbolt.

Wang Laoshi and his family were also in the endless immigrant team. His family lost one person.

This Wang Erxiao never made Wang Laoshi feel at ease since he was a child, he was brave and ruthless and liked to make troubles, Wang Laoshi thought it would be a good thing for his son to learn some skills from the "God of War" servant and follow some rules.

Wang Laoshi's complexion has improved a lot, he can eat three meals a day and have one dry meal, which is not far from the peace and prosperity when he was in his hometown. He really didn't expect such a good thing to happen when he was fleeing.

The eldest son of Li Zhuang's family from this village, Li Daxiao, also stayed in Yiyang as a villager. They felt that they should become the king of Qiongya County, and the family became more and more buoyant.

"Brother Li, brother, I want to thank you. If it weren't for you always talking about the benefits of Nan Guogong, I wouldn't dare to escape with my family. In such a barren year, I can eat three meals a day. , I didn’t even dare to think about it before.”

"Brother, that's the king of Qiongya County, the prince. I said it a few days ago. The court knows that the Duke of Nanguo has been named king for his good deeds."

"Look at my memory, the old man 'God of War' is a prince, the best prince in the world."

It happened that an auxiliary soldier from the propaganda team named Qin Huai heard the conversation between the two, and said with a smile: "Our prince is not an old man, he is mighty, and he killed Jianu, a prince named A Min, with one move."

This 24-year-old scholar is from Haizhou, and he is a child without fame. The Huang family recruited a large number of laborers in Haizhou and gave generous conditions to absorb scholars.

After three months of training, Qin Huai, who is weak in culture and culture, became an assistant soldier of the propaganda team for one month, two or five coins and eight buckets of rice.He has been following Xu Sijiu to carry out propaganda in the Central Plains, and he has seen the miserable days of the common people.

Seeing tens of thousands of starving people being rescued with his own eyes, Qin Huai was only working to earn food and wages, but now his attitude is changing every day. Shengdou Xiaomin became one.
