Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Guan Shan took the captive back to the village where he was stationed, and brought back the roasted pig by the way.

All the people in the village moved away temporarily, and there was no one there, but no one broke into the house. Everyone spread dry straw and slept under the eaves of common people's houses and on the open space in front of the door.

Seeing the captives approaching, no one booed, they all sat up and looked at them silently.

Guan Shan ordered the kitchen: "Cook some porridge for these people, and distribute the pork to the robes tomorrow morning. Captain Xu, remember which village the pig was found in, and when the battle is over, go ask who lost the pig." , and repay the money to the master."

"Yes, General!" Captain Xu replied.

Yang Yan on the side looked at Guan Shan in surprise: "You have to pay for the pig you picked up?"

Guan Shan looked at him like a fool: "Can the wheat and rice in your field be harvested casually?"

Yang Yan reached out and touched his nose, but said nothing.

Each of the naval prisoners drank a bowl of porridge. The porridge was not thick, but it was not so thin that people could be seen. Guan Shan's intention was obvious, that they should not be full and cause damage, even though they had already surrendered.

Yang Yan drank the tasteless porridge and said, "The general will give us this?"

Guan Shan glanced at him: "You have to figure out your identities, you are a prisoner now, I didn't lock you up, I didn't tie you up, and I gave you back food, that's the most benevolent."

"I'm here to take refuge in your emperor." Yang Yan said.

Guan Shan smiled: "No, it is clear that you were arrested by us."

Yang Yan said: "I can provide you with information about our military."

"It doesn't matter if you don't provide it. The biggest information you have now is the lack of food." Guan Shan said.

Yang Yan looked at him, opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

When the sky was slightly bright, the soldiers all got up. Everyone was as quiet as a bird, and no one made any noise. They quickly bundled up all the straw on the ground, and quickly stacked them into piles, just like they did before they came, and they also used brooms. Clean the yard clean, as if no one has been there.

Not to cause trouble for the common people, not to take a single needle from the common people, this is the military rule formulated by Xiao Yu.

Although it was difficult for everyone to understand at first, they gradually understood after a long time, and they were quite proud of it.Because no matter where they go, the people there will welcome them with smiles instead of hiding away.

His Majesty the Emperor said that they are a team from the common people, they must not forget their roots, they are a team that serves the common people.

Put yourself in your shoes and think about it, if a group of soldiers came to your hometown, they all behaved well, did not cause chaos, did not bully the weak, plundered, stole, and helped the people to do what they could, would you like or hate such soldiers? Woolen cloth.

When they left, although there were many people, they all lined up neatly and walked along the path in the field. No one trampled on the farmland and land of the common people.

This was something they were used to, but Yang Yan was astonished and bowed his hands to Guan Shan: "General Guan is really good at managing troops."

Guan Shan said: "I don't dare to take the credit, it's my Majesty's credit."

Yang Yan asked curiously: "What kind of person is your Majesty?"

Everyone in the north is full of curiosity about Xiao Yu. What kind of emperor is he who can found the "Xing Huo" newspaper and is willing to use examinations to promote officials? Yes, and the hybrid rice, if it is as high-yielding as the newspaper said If it is, it will really benefit the world, and these are things that ordinary people can do.

Guan Shan said proudly: "My Majesty is a living god, a person you can't even imagine. Your emperor is not worthy to lift his shoes."

Yang Yan didn't know how to answer, but he thought Guan Shan must be blind worship.

When he arrived at the riverside, Yang Yan saw his own warship, and their ship was indeed taken away by the Guangzhou army.

Everyone boarded the boat and rowed to the opposite bank to send the prisoners to a camp opposite for education.

When Yang Yan heard that he was going to receive reform education, he was very reluctant: "It's a joke, do I still need education? Let alone with these untouchables!"

Guan Shan was not happy when he heard this: "Why, aren't you all captives? Prisoners are also classified as high or low?"

"I was born in a noble family, how can I compare with them!" Yang Yan was obviously unhappy.

Guan Shan said: "Only your kind of thinking requires education and reform. In our place, everyone is equal and raised by their parents. There is only a division of duties, and there is no distinction between high and low."

Yang Yan said: "You are nonsense! Since ancient times, the sages have said, 'There is a distinction between high and low, seniors and young are distinguished, and rich and poor are all judged'. You are trying to bring disasters to chaos."

Guan Shan squinted at him: "Is that so? But what we learned was 'Would princes and generals be kind to each other?'"

Yang Yan said: "You are talking nonsense about rebels."

Guan Shan chuckled twice: "Then General Yang thinks, is Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty considered to be chaotic? Are Emperor Wen of Wei and Emperor Wu of Jin considered to be chaotic?"

Yang Yan was rendered speechless by the refutation. Gaozu Liu Bang was born in Tinghou, so he had nothing to do with the nobles, but did he dare to say that Han Gaozu was a chaotic general?

Guan Shan sneered: "As a person with vested interests, of course, you have to make a reasonable argument for your own interests, so that others will not divide up your interests. It is like your nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which prevents all civilians from ascending. Let them Generations of generations are willing to be enslaved and exploited by you, you aristocratic families think so beautifully!"

Yang Yan: "..."

Guan Shan said: "Receive education and reform well. When the reform is completed, when will you be released."

Yang Yan asked: "Then when can I see your Majesty?"

Guan Shantou said without turning back: "It depends on whether or not my Majesty sees you."

Yang Yan is very unwilling. He is a dignified Hongnong Yang family, a fourth-rank military general in the court, but he has to eat the same food, do the same work, and take the same classes as a group of lowly soldiers. He has only studied for a few days. People give him lessons, but is he qualified to teach himself?

Guan Shan didn't bother to pay attention to the indignation of these aristocratic children, and the guards in the prison camp would convince them.

After he released the captives, he crossed the boat to the other side.There are [-] enemy troops stationed there, and they are currently short of food. If they can't find any food nearby, they will definitely anger the people, set fire to the houses, widen the search range, or speed up the siege plan. He has to keep an eye on it. up.

Xiao Yu received a letter from Guan Shan's carrier pigeon in the city, and after reading it, he handed it to Min Chong: "Guan Shan has captured thousands of enemy soldiers looking for food, and the leader is the fourth rank Zhonglang General. This person calls himself Hongnong Yang Shi, seems to have the intention to take the initiative to surrender. What does Teng Yun think?"

Min Chong chuckled: "It seems that those aristocratic families in the north have already started to find a way out."

Xiao Yu nodded, expressing agreement: "Do they think that changing the emperor will not have any impact on them?"

Min Chong said: "I think so. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, no matter which dynasty rose or fell, it rarely affected the status and interests of the aristocratic families. They have always been the backbone of the court, unless they are completely on the wrong side. Your Majesty is far away, they have no chance to show their loyalty, if they were close, I'm afraid someone would have come to you long ago to hide your position."

Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly: "I was wondering if someone would turn against Rinzhi directly."

Min Chong said: "Aristocratic families have always been ignorant, and their position is in line with their own interests. It would be surprising if no one turned back. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. Your Majesty will have a huge mess to clean up in the future."

Xiao Yu smiled wryly: "I will rely on you more in the future." He wants to rule the world and revitalize Anguo, and the big and powerful family is the first obstacle. The Yang family is now offering olive branches, which represents the main attitude of the entire Anguo gentry.He couldn't let these people pick peaches for nothing.

Min Chong said: "Then leave it to me. I'm not afraid of offending people. I'll do the land equalization. It happens that the land belongs to my household department."

Xiao Yu looked at him gratefully: "Then it will be hard work for Tengyun."

Min Chong said with a smile: "I think it is very interesting and challenging. I think I am quite happy to think about cutting the flesh of those aristocratic families."

Xiao Yu said: "You need a right-hand man to do things. Officials who are promoted from the local area, if you see who is suitable, just go to the Ministry of Households."

"Okay. Let's complete the six departments before moving to the north. From now on, those old ministers in the north will keep those who can be used, and let those who can't be used be marginalized."

"That's what I intend too."

Min Chong asked: "Guan Shan's letter said that the commander of the Anguo Navy outside the city is called Lu Meng. Does Your Majesty know about this man?"

Xiao Yu thought for a while: "This man is from Fanyang Lu's family. When I was in Beijing, he was the commander of the navy. Rinzhi would be more familiar with him. However, the navy has never fought very much, and his combat experience is not good. Many, and precisely because of this, his status is a bit embarrassing, all the military generals in the court are promoted by military merit, but he is the only one who is promoted by family background."

Min Chong said with a smile: "It's no wonder that you are so overbearing, and you don't even keep supplies."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It was thanks to Teng Yun's idea that he set up a bed crossbow on the other side of the river. The rocket attack was so fierce that they didn't have time to think carefully and made a hasty decision."

"War is to be caught by surprise. We have few soldiers, so of course we have to take advantage of the favorable location and harmonious people." Min Chong said proudly.

Xiao Yu is very grateful that he rescued Min Chong impulsively at the time. This is equivalent to his military advisor. He is also a military advisor who can lead troops to fight, and can make money and manage money. Such a talent is really hard to find.

"Be careful these two days, I'm afraid Lu Meng is going to attack the city." Xiao Yu said.

"Of course I know that there is no food outside, and there must be food in the city. As long as the city is broken, they will have food to eat. I will ask the scouts to pay more attention to the movement and cheer up the soldiers." Min Chong said.

This time the number of guards in the city was more than double that of last time, there were more than 2 reinforcements outside, and many people in the city also evacuated, Xiao Yu felt more at ease in his heart.

It’s just that I don’t know what will happen outside the city. He asked the surrounding people to evacuate, but those who didn’t evacuate a little farther away, the enemy can find them if they go further away. I don’t know if the people can escape safely. go.

Just as Xiao Yu and Guan Shan were worried, the An Guo Navy indeed arranged for people to go further afield to find food.

Because of the loss that the 1000 people sent out last time did not come back, Lu Meng required that no less than 2000 people go out to find food each time.

Even so, they still suffered a disadvantage the second time, because there was a team of more than [-] people waiting for them.

But the second time was not without success. According to those who escaped, they found a village with people twenty miles west of the city.

Someone means there is food. Lu Meng, who was on the verge of despair, grasped at straws. He made a decision and sent a team of [-] people to grab food.
