Chapter 487: Great support for poor soldiers and joy

When Emperor Tianqi saw Zhang Jing sighing, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Jing and said, "Why, you seem to be feeling too?"

Zhang Jingyi smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty has just said something, so he may be unintentional, but I am thinking that if you take it completely, you can regard it as the south of the Yangtze River outside the border, then how many people can this kind of planted grain support?"

"Hahaha..." Emperor Tianqi laughed loudly, and he sat on the horse, looking happy: "I am just a fantasy. Don't take it seriously. There is no such cheap good thing in this world? I don't believe in your rye, but I just think... it's really hard to succeed."

After saying that, the two of them rode their horses, stepped on the mud, and continued to move forward.

…………

Jinzhou City.

At this time, the solemn aura of Jinzhou City gradually disappeared.

All those who should be killed were killed. Only then did the people look at everything in front of them with lingering fear, but soon, they really learned good news.

Your Majesty plowed the courtyard and swept the cave, and he had already hit Shenyang.

The Jiannu people... completely disappeared.

As soon as the news came out, the military and civilians who were already in fear suddenly burst into joy.

If the existence of the Jiannu people may have considerable benefits for Liao people like the Zu family.

But for ordinary people, it is completely different.

Most of the military and civilians who migrated to Jinzhou City fled due to war.

The family's land was occupied, and the parents, wife and children were killed by the Jiannu people. Even if they were not killed, countless people died of illness along the way.

Even though the people came to Jinzhou, Jiannu had several soldiers and soldiers to come here, and there were countless soldiers and civilians who were trembling with fear. No one knew when Jinzhou would fall.

This unknown fear surrounds every person here.

Of course, that tremendous hatred towards the Jiannu people was absolutely strong.

If it were proposed that the Liao people defended the Liao territory, they did not rely on the Liao people's aristocratic tribes and gentry families, but actually rely on these people who have lost everything, perhaps there might be something to do.

But in fact... these ordinary soldiers, civilians and people are also Liao people, but the so-called Liao people defending Liao territory has nothing to do with them.

There are still some Donglin Army in the city, but the number is only about one thousand, and the organization of a teaching team.

However, these people wearing gray coats have a strong deterrence.

The teaching team originally suspected that once His Majesty and the Duke of Liao led their troops into the pass, some unwilling guys might cause trouble here, but it was obvious that they were over-concerned.

The ordinary people in Liaodong treated them very well, so people maintained great respect for this army with strict military discipline.

Even when patrolling the streets everywhere, there are always some people who come to express their condolences with a few newly cooked eggs or some fruits.

Some young men who have a deep hatred of Jiannu will go wherever they have free time every day, and whenever the patrol of the Donglin Army appears, they will go wherever they go. Since they dare not get close, they seem to find it new, so many people unconsciously imitate the behavior of the Donglin Army students.

Of course, there are still people who are panicking, such as the soldiers and horses of the guards who were originally stationed in Jinzhou.

When these people woke up, they found that their thousand households and guerrilla generals were gone, and some even had hundreds of households to go where they ran.

Immediately afterwards, the Donglin Army took over their camp.

Of course, there are too many military horses here, and it is impossible to completely take over with the manpower of the Donglin Army!

The so-called takeover was just a few people coming in, reading out the fact that their military officers were plotting rebellion, and proclaiming that their military officers had been confiscated and beheaded, and everyone had to stay in the camp and wait for disposal.

Naturally, there are still warnings. If you take the camp, you will be killed immediately without mercy.

These people have no leader and are used to obeying all orders from military officers on weekdays. Now, many people are terrified.

Waiting for a few days in panic.

Then the Donglin Army students entered the camps everywhere, and they even rushed to the car.

Immediately, the officers and soldiers in the camp were summoned and told them that if the camp was disbanded, everyone could go back to their hometowns and pay travel expenses for two taels of silver per person. If there was really no place to go, they could stay for the time being and make other arrangements at that time.

This suddenly, many people were in a state of excitement.

I have never heard of this army and horses disbanded directly.

Even if it was disbanded, I have never heard of it actually paying travel expenses.

Many people didn't believe it at first.

But when the student moved the boxes from the car, he began to recite his names according to the roster.

Someone was called out and really gave the money to his hands. Seeing that it was true, everyone believed it.

So... the battalions were in full swing.

Many people ran around and told each other.

In the minds of these soldiers, they all have the idea that good men are not in the army. The reason why they have to enter the camp is that a small number of soldiers were recruited, in fact, the vast majority of them are military families.

The imperial court listed many people as military households and asked them to guard various military towns and fortresses. The status of military households was extremely low, almost like the private slaves of hundreds and thousands of households.

Not only do you have to be responsible for the battle and often owes wages, but you also have to cultivate land for the superiors, which is even worse than that of the tenants.

And now... they have completely freed these military households. From then on, as long as they are willing, they can change them to nationality at will.

You should know that many military households were unable to bear their identities at that time, as well as the beatings and humiliation of Shangguan like beasts, as well as various deductions and exploitation, so that there were a large number of military households fleeing in the garrisons in various places in the Ming Dynasty. These military households would rather become refugees than join the army.

In many military camps, in order to prevent the soldiers from escaping, when it was dark, they would tie them up and tie ten people up with a rope to sleep together. If one person fled, the other nine people would all sit together.

In this era, it is extremely difficult for military households to change their household registration. Of course, there are also such operations, such as... if you have the ability to participate in the imperial examination and win the fame and fortune for others.

Obviously, such people are rare and almost something that can only happen in rumors.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were dismissed from Jinzhou, but... at this moment, he was extremely stable.

But it is also in Jinzhou.

In the streets and alleys, an old man wearing a jacket and a disheveled face appeared. His jacket seemed to have a good texture, but it was already broken, and a lot of crumbs were turned out from the fabric.

The old man seemed crazy, appeared in the streets and alleys every day, clapping his hands at the child, shouting: "Grandson, grandson..."

Or, in a ditch, search for the leftovers that people have discarded.

Some people say that this man was once the general officer of Liaodong, majestic and prominent for a while.

Of course, people in the past didn't believe it and just laughed.

People obviously take this as a joke.

However, this old man would also get angry. Sometimes after laughing, he suddenly showed a look of horror and shouted vaguely: "Oh, the tyrant lord is incompetent. We can no longer survive. Why don't you resist? Why don't you resist that tyrant? This emperor takes turns, and those who are virtuous should be there."

When he said this, no one was concerned about this person, but he just felt that this person was crazy.

Of course, there were also a few who didn’t like it, and they caught it out and cursed at him: “I’m rebelling against your mother. If you talk too much, you will beat you to death.”

Someone on the side advised: "Forget it, forgot, what are you calculating about with this madman? If he is not crazy, can he say such things?"

The old man looked at the man in horror, curled up, and waited for the man to let go, cursing and left. However, the old man suddenly shed tears and beat his heart, as if he was heartbroken, and repeatedly murmured: "The heaven has no eyes, the heaven has no eyes, the foolish lord harms people, the foolish lord harms people..."

Of course... For the people of Jinzhou City, this old man was just a topic of conversation after dinner, because he only appeared on the top day, and slowly, people found that this person was missing.

Someone said that the old man seemed to have gone to "gathering troops".

I also heard that he had been frozen to death.

So, people gradually forgot about the old man.

After all, life has to continue. In the yamen, notices have been posted to clear the land and divide the land.

Yizhou Guard.

This Yizhou Guard is hundreds of miles away from Jinzhou, and the nearest Ningyuan is also more than one hundred miles.

Such a place does not seem to have been affected by the major changes in Liaodong.

Here, King Xin Zhu Youjian, led hundreds of people to reclaim a large area of ​​land and set up a farm nearby.

In addition to some civil servants sent by the Zhang family, there were also recruited farmers and the guards of King Xin.

Originally, he brought seven or eight eunuchs, but Zhu Youjian seemed to feel that it was always bad for the seven or eight eunuchs around him to serve him, so he sent them back to the capital, leaving only one Wang Chengen.

When he first came, Zhu Youjian knew nothing about this.

Even the first time I saw planting crops, I was stunned.

Because he couldn't understand, the delicious food grew out of this dirty mud, and... they actually applied manure.

So much so that Zhu Youjian had been nauseous for many days. When he saw the white noodles or rice that should have been fragrant, he felt indescribable.

But later, when I actually got off the ground, my body was covered with mud stars, and I personally scooped the manure water.

This pretentious disease gradually reduced.

In another month, he could even eat steamed cakes on the edge of the field while standing next to the manure bucket and jumping happily.

The seeds of rye were first carefully cultivated and then planted seedlings. In the cold weather, almost everyone felt heavy in their hearts.

In such weather, it is indeed unimaginable to plant grain.
