Rebirth of the Son Raiders

In the past few months, there have been frequent wars in the northern border. Due to the matter of raising military rations, the relationship between Lin Yanhong and the Pingwu families has become more and more tense, but all this, after the news of Yongzhou reached the county government, immediately A sea change has taken place.

Yongzhou experienced such a big change, there were not enough Yongzhou troops stationed, and the border was devastated. Not to mention its own suffering, it almost involved most of Liangzhou's northern border.

The wealthy families in these places have their businesses in Pingwu and Hanyang counties. As the saying goes, if the situation is allowed to continue to deteriorate, they may suffer unbearable losses, and even worry about the nest.

At this time, they could no longer think about how to "fight wits and courage" with Lin Changshi, nor did they think about how to delay or refuse the sale of military rations.

Now the aristocratic families can't wait to bring things directly to Qudu, so that the Liangzhou army led by His Royal Highness King Yu can guard the frontier with peace of mind, and completely block the demons and refugees from Pingwu and Hanyang.

As a result, not only the Chen family and Gong's offshoots who had met Lin Yanhong several times in private, but also the Qiao family and He family, who had the toughest attitudes before, sent people to Du Du's mansion to inquire about news from time to time.

At this time, Lin Changshi's status became very prominent - when Lin Yanhong was leaving, Cao Shenjun and subordinate officials from the entire Dudu Mansion arrived, and the whole group of people wanted to send Chang Shi out of the city. attentive.

"My lord is going to Qudu, we will act according to your arrangement, please rest assured, my lord."

Lin Yanhong looked at some people who suddenly became respectful, but he didn't have any time or mood to greet or settle accounts with them.

He didn't even have time to take a closer look at those subordinates who "didn't meet often", so he took Gong Mengchang and another official surnamed Chen to Qudu on horseback.

When they first learned that the prince would be accompanying them, both Gong Mengchang and Chen Xin felt a little nervous and panicked.

However, the situation was urgent, and they couldn't help their comfort, so the group hurried to Qudu finally.

Qudu is the city closest to Yongzhou in Liangzhou. His Royal Highness King Yu, who is the governor of Pingyang, has been stationed here all year round. Going further north is the border area between Liangzhou and Liangzhou. There used to be many demons, let alone now , Wild beasts run amok.

Along the road, Lin Yanhong and others have seen the refugees one after another, and it can be seen from their clothes that they are fleeing from Yongzhou.

Probably the cities of Qudu and other places can no longer accommodate so many refugees from the Yong Kingdom, and they can only wait to die at the border, so they have to drag their tired and sick bodies to go further south.

If you are lucky, you may find a place where you can stay and save your life...

But if they are unlucky, even if they have worked hard to escape from Yongzhou to Liangzhou, they still cannot escape the tragic fate, and even die in a foreign land.

Because they wanted to gallop, Lin Yanhong, Gong Mengchang and other civil officials were accompanied by government soldiers on horseback.Lin Yanhong couldn't help looking back at the poor people who just passed by them but seemed to have no strength to avoid the chariots and horses.

Even if they are not from Yongzhou, Lin Yanhong still feels heavy in his heart.

Li Jingcheng put half of his attention on Lin Yanhong along the way, for fear that the government soldiers would fall to Lin Yanhong. Seeing his sad face at this moment, he wanted to comfort him but couldn't achieve it, and his face darkened a bit.

Gong Mengchang and Chen Xin thought that His Royal Highness disliked them for slowing down their journey, and they couldn't help becoming more panicked. They wanted to complain at first, but now their bones are about to fall apart and they dare not say a word.

When they arrived outside the city of Qudu, they realized that the outside was surrounded by groups of refugees. If Lin Yanhong and the others were not surrounded by government soldiers guarding them, it would not have been so easy to enter the city.

……

"The royal family of the Yong Kingdom is famous for riding and shooting in Kyushu. It is really ridiculous that Liang Xiandi fell off his horse and died."

Combined with the bloody cleansing of the king's account by the new emperor, everyone knows what happened within the Yongzhou royal family, but no one has pointed it out.

His Royal Highness King Yu was waiting for them in the city at the moment, sending away the idlers and others, and only said with Li Jingcheng and Lin Yanhong: "The current plan is to collect food immediately, otherwise, if this continues, there may be changes."

It's not that Qudu City is unwilling to rescue these displaced people, it's just that there are too many of them, even if the entire Qudu City is emptied, it cannot supply so many refugees.

What's more, there were quite a few ordinary people in the city, plus the hundreds of refugees who had taken in before, it was completely unable to accommodate more people now.

Lin Yanhong understands that the "change" in Yu Wang's mouth does not refer to the raging monsters, but refers to that once the number of refugees reaches a certain level, and their resentment and grief accumulate to a certain level, it is very likely to trigger even more terrible things—— .

The Liangzhou army still had to guard the northern border, and even Qudu had already lost half of its troops, so how could it manage the affairs of the refugees.

Of course, even if they took another [-] steps back, they would not be able to point their weapons at the poor people and drive them back to the border. Then their end would be starvation, exhaustion, disease, or being captured and eaten by demons.

Their home is gone, and they themselves are about to starve to death, and now they have nowhere to escape, nowhere to stay... In this case, it is not so logical to have the thought of "then drag you to die together"!

"In this extraordinary period, it is natural to focus on the overall situation. I will call immediately... Fortunately, we have reported to the court in advance, and now there is an order from His Majesty. I believe that military supplies dispatched from Beijing will soon be sent, which may ease the situation. two."

King Yu was not as optimistic as Lin Yanhong. Because there were no outsiders at the moment, he said bluntly to Lin Yanhong: "Now the situation in Beijing and China is getting more and more serious. At this moment, the only one who can really save lives is himself."

Lin Yanhong has experienced "a previous life", so he doesn't know how "lively" Tianjing is now.

In the eyes of those princes, there is no comparison between the mere refugees from Yongzhou and what they are fighting for now.

It's just that in Lin Yanhong's "memory", he doesn't remember the catastrophe of Yongzhou and Liangzhou at all, which makes people feel strange.

But now it is not the reason for the deviation, but to find a way to solve the problem.

Most of those local wealthy families are willing to sell food or even donate food at the moment, but there is a big difference between using it to supply the Liangzhou Army and helping the refugees of the Yong Kingdom. Lin Yanhong has to lobby in person for it to go smoothly.

"This king is about to leave Qudu and rush back to Nanling, and he can't stay in the city for too long, so Jing Cheng will discuss with you about the next thing."

Almost all the elites of the Yongzhou army were recalled to the king's account. What awaited them was the complicated situation in the capital. It was basically a fantasy for these troops to return to help in the short term.

It was not easy for King Yu to go back to Qudu. After all, he devoted himself to Nanling, and he had no time to care about food, military resources or resettlement of refugees.

Lin Yanhong showed no sign of refusal, and immediately said: "I will do my best." At this moment, what he was facing was not Li Jingcheng's father, but the governor of Pingyang County, his immediate boss.

After explaining the matter, King Yu did not stay any longer, and immediately led his troops to leave, leaving Lin Yanhong to call Gong Mengchang and Chen Xin to talk.

Only by making people aware of the seriousness of the situation can those aristocratic families who are capable of helping refugees take a step forward, so Lin Yanhong did not hide the news he just learned.

Although Gong Mengchang and Chen Xin have been in the officialdom for several years, it is the first time they have seen such a large-scale refugee. They were frightened when they first entered the city, and then they were "confessed" by Lin Yanhong in such an unusual way. Terrified.

In their minds, the safety and interests of the family are very important, but at the moment there are some contradictions.

He didn't dare to respond immediately, but he couldn't be perfunctory in the face of the long history, so Gong Mengchang could only say: "Excuse me, I'm afraid the matter of collecting food and relief for refugees must be discussed in the long run..."

Lin Yanhong glanced at him sullenly, as if saying, "You still have time to think long-term"?

Being so stared at by the other party, Gong Mengchang could no longer justify himself, so he could only express his support for Chang Shi on behalf of his collateral branch of the Gong family.

"If this unfavorable situation can be suppressed, then I will be able to tell His Majesty the causal sequence of events, and I will definitely not forget to mention those families who contribute the most and the fastest."

"Yes, Your Highness." Hearing this, Gong Mengchang immediately understood Lin Yanhong's meaning, and his heart jumped for joy.

——Rescue the refugees... You don't need to calculate it to know, this must be a huge project that is not up to now!Therefore, it is meaningless to look at the gains and losses alone, and it is worthwhile to look at the value comprehensively.

Chen Xin naturally heard the same words clearly, he expressed his opinion faster than Gong Mengchang, the reason is that the Chen family is still condensed into a rope, and it can be used in one place with strength.

The Chen family is a little "younger" among the five surnames. In order to avoid rapid prosperity and decline like the past few predecessors, they hope to maintain a more stable forward posture.

The arrival of Lin Changshi has always been an opportunity for the Chen family.If they are well grasped, they will no longer need to "bow their heads" to anyone.

First tested the meaning of some local wealthy families, Lin Yanhong began to collect food on the spot from the inside to the outside without stopping.

Sure enough, this process encountered obstacles, and some people even thought that the refugees should not be kept in the border of Liangzhou, and they should be driven back.

"My lord, if I let these ragged, unkempt and dirty refugees walk on my girder, it would be too indecent!"

While Lin Yanhong tried to persuade them with emotion and reason, he was reminded by such selfish words.

He hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Li Jingcheng, and quickly took action, intending to prevent it from happening.

It's a pity that before they started collecting things, there were two heavy rains, which proved that Lin Yanhong's worries were not meaningless, and made the situation in Pingwu more complicated and severe.

The refugees who kept gathering outside the city had nowhere to hide from the rain, so they could only endure these two trials given by God.

Many people who were hungry and tired couldn't bear it anymore, so they developed illnesses, and then the illnesses spread and gradually affected Qudu City...
