First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yan nodded and said: They have already agreed to take the initiative to help the court call and organize to gather young adults, starting tomorrow.

Zhu Biao ordered: Let the Xinke Scholars and nobles follow along to help record and arrange, but let them participate.

Zhu Yan scratched his head: Brother, they don't have much experience, I'm afraid it will delay a lot of things.

Zhu Biao said nonchalantly: The emigration is more than just this trip, we must let them be familiar with it, so that we can have an experience for reference in the future.

After hearing this, Zhu Fen took orders to go down, and the specific relocation ratio was discussed and formulated. According to the ratio of families of four stay one; families of six stay two; families of eight stay three. The strong are given priority, those who have no high school are given priority, and the disabled can have more people to take care of them...

There are also many preferential benefits used to appeal. For example, the imperial court will be responsible for their food along the way, and will distribute cotton clothes to them for the winter. Exempt from taxation for three years.

The most important welfare is that they will be given livestock, including cattle and sheep, which has never existed in the past dynasties. Fortunately, Zhu Biao destroyed Beiyuan and plundered the grassland, otherwise a cow would be much more valuable than a person in Daming.

In the next few days, there were only 10,000 people left in Zhu Biao's camp to wait, and the rest were scattered all over Shanxi to cooperate with local officials and gentry to gather the people. Zhu Biao led the people to expand the camp. No kidding.

Of course, Zhu Biao’s plan is to gather more than 50,000 people and arrange a wave to send them away. Otherwise, it will be a big problem to dig enough pits for 200,000 people to shit. The Shanxi garrison is gradually moving closer to Zhu Biao, and they will also Responsible for transporting immigrants.

Zhu Biao's 30,000 elites were mainly to protect the prince and deter the Shanxi gentry. They alone could not escort 200,000 people. Yes, they were escorts. There were still few people who were willing to cooperate, even with the appeasement and persuasion of the gentry and officials.

Nearly half a month later, 60,000 people gathered in Daying, crying loudly every night. Zhu Biao was also very upset, but there was nothing he could do about them. ?

Forget about these, the problem is that there are rumors spreading in Shanxi now, and the common people all rumored that Emperor Zhu heard what the warlock said, and thought that Shanxi had dragon spirit, and if he didn't kill Shanxi people, the throne would not be long, so he got anxious His son sent them to arrest them, and finally dug a big pit and buried them all alive.

Zhu Biao was also very helpless when he heard about it. The common people don't know a lot of Chinese characters, but their ability to spread rumors is first-class. This kind of rumor is basically known to everyone in Shanxi. I am afraid that this is also caused by the gentry's secret troubles. .

Some people fled into the forest with their families, and the whole village resisted with a pitchfork and a hoe under the call of the village elders. These news are reported every day. The people are ignorant and reckless, but how can they resist the army?

Zhu Biao has already ordered that subjugation should be the main thing, and the people must not be easily killed, and the elite he brought should be supervised by the army, otherwise, with the quality of the garrison, they could kill all villages together.

This was the result of the cooperation of the gentry, otherwise their local reputation would have made the matter even more complicated, Zhu Yan, Guo Chong, Wu Bozong and others all gathered in the camp.

Zhu Yan said: Brother, the number of people is almost the same, the camp is full, and there will be a steady stream of people coming tomorrow.

Zhu Biao nodded and looked at the crowd, and finally designated Zhu Yan and Wu Bozong and said, Third brother, this first batch is particularly important, and there are many young and strong people in it, so manage them carefully. I will give you 3,000 elites and 20,000 Shanxi garrison troops. , you have to proceed with caution.

Zhu Bian has matured a lot through this journey, and his status as the king of Chu is enough for the local officials on the road to provide food as much as possible. They can get to Fengyang first to lay a foundation.

The crying outside sounded vaguely again, and Zhu Biao sighed: It will be fine when you get out of Shanxi, and you should be more tolerant, don't be too harsh, and give priority to taking care of women and children.

Zhu Yan and Wu Bozong bowed to their promise, and they led the people to set off early the next morning. The sound of crying and howling immediately resounded through the barracks, and the soldiers scolded them irritably. If His Royal Highness was not watching, they would have given these bastards a few whips up.

Zhu Biao watched them being pushed and walked out with his hands behind his back. During the initial escort process, groups of men, women, old and children had their hands tied behind their backs.

Zhu Biao sighed and closed his eyes. This is undoubtedly extremely inhumane, but it must be done, otherwise how can those areas where there are no chickens crowing for thousands of miles and the bones are exposed in the wild can be rejuvenated.

The people on the side wanted to say a few words of comfort, but Zhu Biao raised his hand to stop him. He didn't need anyone to comfort him. This was what he had to bear, whether it was honor or the resentment of the people.

At noon, crying people began to be sent to the camp again, and Xinke Scholars and nobles also threw themselves into the new busyness. These people were spoiled and spoiled, so of course they didn't want to serve mud legs.

But Chang Mao Fu Zhong would not spoil them. If he didn't want to do the management work, he would dig a latrine and move food for cooking. Anyway, he had to work.

Half a month later, another 60,000 to 70,000 people gathered. Zhu Biao was used to their crying and howling since he couldn't sleep at night at the beginning.

The second batch of Zhu Biao asked Guo Chong and Li Jin to be responsible for the escort, and gave them to 3,000 elites and 30,000 garrisons to escort them. They kept the sick women and children and placed them in a corner of the barracks for isolation and treatment. Fortunately, they brought a lot of imperial doctors this time, otherwise With so many people gathered, once the infection becomes infectious, something serious will happen.

Now that the weather is getting colder and autumn is here, the relocation is over when the camp is full again, and Zhu Biao will personally send them to Fengyang for resettlement.

During this period of time, officials and gentry from all over Shanxi came to visit Zhu Biao, and even Zhang Wei came to deliver things once. Zhang was afraid that he would catch cold, so he hurriedly made clothes, cloaks and other thicker clothes, although Liu Jin was ready. , but Zhu Biao is still very happy.

Xu Yungong also transported coal and set off to Fengyang. The two brothers Zhu Xi and Zhu Di finally completed the task. There were countless officials who fell under their hands.

As a result, they got angry because of the crying and howling that night, which was really annoying, but the rest of the people were used to it long ago. The ignorance of the people and the rumors circulating everywhere made them panic, even if Zhu Biao went to comfort him personally. Not big, I don’t believe you at all, should people cry at night or cry.

Every day, new people were escorted in. After half a month, the number of people was carefully counted. Counting those who had already been sent away, there were about 210,000 people in total.

Zhu Biao picked up another record. At present, hundreds of civilians died due to various accidents such as resisting diseases and escaping. More than ten soldiers were attacked and killed by ordinary people. This record will never be known to others, nor will the imperial court recognize it.
