Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 67
The first purpose, of course, is to rescue the more than 5000 refugees from the capital, so that they can survive this winter, and return to their hometowns to start again after the Manchu Tartars leave the customs.

The second purpose is that these refugees in the capital should not have a good impression of corrupt officials.In this way, absorbing some people with small families into Dongchang will not only have fresh blood to impact the rotten original pattern, but also give them more motivation to do what a Dongchang fan should do, to strictly investigate those Corrupt officials.

The third purpose is to arrange for refugees to enter the homes of princes, nobles and officials at all levels in the capital. It is like a nail being driven into their hearts. At least in a short period of time, they will not be able to become true members of each government.When the Tatars retreat and start borrowing money from civil and military officials, princes and nobles as suggested by Xue Guoguan, there may be new channels for obtaining information.After finishing this work, these refugees can return home, and they should be able to catch up with the spring plowing!

Emperor Chongzhen thought about this in his heart, but he still asked with a serious expression: "Is there anything else you need to report?"

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the officials who went to the early court were already terribly cold.It's not a particularly important thing, and no one wants to play it right in the morning.In addition to the two things just now, they didn't go well. The emperor seemed to be very assertive. If there was another matter, and the emperor led the decision on the spot, there was no need to change it.Therefore, based on this idea, for a while, no one spoke up anymore.

Many of them are actually thinking about the emperor's performance in the early court at this time.I heard that the emperor was different after the Taizu entrusted his dream, and seeing him now, it is indeed so.How to deal with the emperor in the future so that the situation does not deviate from his calculations, he still has to think carefully.

Seeing that all the civil and military officials were silent, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "More than 5000 refugees are all my people. Although they can be resettled now, I have not seen them being resettled and can truly eat." After a bite of rice and a place to take shelter from the cold, I still feel uneasy. So I decided..."

When these courtiers heard what he said, they couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't the emperor really care about those untouchables?Didn't he respond because of his duty as an emperor?

Sincerity is something they can still see.

Generally speaking, the emperor is actually the most ruthless.However, as the father of billions of people, he must show something to the people who have suffered disasters. After all, the emperor cares about face the most.Now that the resettlement of the disaster victims has been arranged, for the emperor, it has actually been done well enough.

This matter should be revealed!But the emperor doesn't seem to be finished yet, what is he going to do?
When they were wondering, they heard Emperor Chongzhen's solemn decision: "I will lead officials of the fifth rank and above to visit the refugees, and I will send an order to the princes and nobles of the capital, and I must rush there immediately. I will wait for them. I want Seeing that those refugees have been completely resettled, otherwise it would not be a problem for me to worry about it!"

Hearing this, the eunuch on duty immediately took two steps forward, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Beijing officials above the fifth rank will accompany you, and the rest will retreat!"

Some officials who were too cold, upon hearing this, immediately shouted "Long live, long live, long live" in accordance with etiquette, and hurriedly sent the emperor to retire, so that they could go back to the yamen to warm up.

Many other officials heard this, and originally wanted to stop him. The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year King, so how could he leave the palace so easily!But before they had time to say it, the order to retreat came down, and the emperor got up.With this posture, they were not given a chance at all, and the colleagues on the side were shouting "Long live, long live, long live", which made them very helpless, and there was no way to stop them!
At this time, although the winter has risen, it is still very cold under the cold wind!On the square in the southeast of the city, there are various tents one after another.Every tent is almost full of people.But there were many more people, who had no tents at all, and all hid in the side corners, huddled together in a pile against the severe cold.

On the periphery of this square, there are heavily armed troops from the Five Cities, with their gleaming weapons facing inside. Refugees who dare to attack them and try to escape from here will be driven back without hesitation. , obsessively, there were several hanging corpses not far away from them, which were considered to be killing chickens and monkeys, swinging in the wind.

When the sun was high, I saw some soldiers carrying some big vats and yelling "drink porridge".

Suddenly, the refugees who were originally crowded together began to move in a swarm, holding various bowls and the like, and crowded towards the large vats.There is no order, only strength.All etiquette, justice and shame are of no use in front of this life-saving porridge!

This so-called porridge, not to mention that it won't be poured with chopsticks, is nothing more than a jar of water, or in other words, it's just a little white water, and when you put it in a bowl, you can see single-digit rice grains at most.But even this is like crazy.Those who were weaker were pushed aside.

But when he got to the vat, no matter how forcefully he pushed others before, he would suddenly turn into a smile on his face, nodding and bowing to the soldiers beside the vat in exchange for a bowl of "porridge".Otherwise, if you are a little disrespectful, you will be reprimanded and scolded, severely whipped, or even kicked out of the porridge serving team.The so-called dignity is worthless here, if you care about dignity, you will starve to death!
While the porridge was being served, suddenly a group of sons and gentlemen came over angrily in fresh clothes. When the soldiers on the periphery saw them, they all saluted and stepped aside. Obviously, these people who came had status.

When the refugees saw it, they all avoided it, but no one came to greet him.

After entering the refugee camp, the group of boys and buddies showed disgust on their faces, covered their mouths and noses with their hands, rode on horses, and began to scan their surroundings.One of them suddenly pointed with a whip.

Immediately, the two servants behind him rushed over, dragged the pointed woman away.

When a young man next to the woman saw it, he immediately rushed forward to stop him, but he was no match for the two servants. He was kicked to the ground by one of the servants, and at the same time said cursingly: "My son, look at me!" It is her blessing to fall in love with her, do you want to die?"

The woman also struggled violently, obviously unwilling to go, crying and shouting: "Brother, save me, brother, save me..."

The young man struggled to get up again, but he was supposed to be hungry and had no strength at all, so he was kicked to the ground again.

This scene made the soldiers and other servants watching from the side laugh out loud, as if they were watching a big show.

The other princes and buddies are almost all doing the same thing, looking for attractive women among the refugees. After pointing with the horsewhip, some servants will rush over to drag people, regardless of whether others are willing or not.

Those who didn't have family members were dragged away directly; those who had family members tried their best to stop him like the young man just now, but all he could get was a severe beating and laughter as if he were watching a show.

The young man watched his sister being dragged away with despair in his eyes.At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came: "Stop!"
