Chapter 868: Situation in various places, dispatch of troops
After everyone was seated, Shen Tang opened his mouth and said, "I need to inspect more than five places, and time is tight. Therefore, some prefectures, counties, and counties have no time to take care of it. Therefore, I invite you to come and eliminate floods in the areas under your jurisdiction." Inform me of the situation!"
"The general will come first!"
Shao Hongyuan was the first to speak, "The general's territory governs the three counties of Shiquan, Long'an, and Shenquan. The two counties of Shiquan and Shenquan are fine. Long'an was once in danger of flooding. However, because of the order of the Lord, the general sent troops to rescue! Therefore, , only a few civilians suffered. Now, the situation has stabilized. Your Excellency has allocated a lot of military rations before, and finally allocated some of the general rations to settle the people. If there is no foreign war, Shiquan Land can safely hold on until the new grain is collected next year..."
Shen Tang nodded, "General Shao is on the safe side, so I can rest assured!"
Ye Mao on the side smiled and said the same, "Sir, there are mainly branches of the Minjiang River in Maozhou, and the dams are stable. The dams were reinforced before the danger, so there is no danger in Maozhou."
"We have 20,000 elite troops stationed in Weizhou, so we will be fine!"
Bian Xi said loudly.
"There was a danger in Daojiang. The general led eight thousand troops to rescue the danger! Now the danger has been passed, but there are more than 20,000 refugees! There is no worry for the time being, but if you want to persist until next year, you still need to allocate two supplies of food and grass. Ten thousand stones! Now, the general is sending troops and horses to help the destroyed villages to build houses. It will be completed in more than ten days..." Xin Qiji spoke loudly.
Ying Deyuan stood up and bowed to Xin Qiji first before saying, "The floods in Hanzhou are serious. Fortunately, General Xin sent troops to help. Now the dangerous places have been stabilized, but... there are only refugees. There are more than 50,000 in number! Nowadays, these civilians have nowhere to go and are stationed outside Hanzhou..."
Seeing Shen Tang's unkind expression, Ying Deyuan hurriedly continued, "However, the official has set up a porridge shed to provide porridge to the homeless people! However, there is a shortage of food and grass in Hanzhou City, and I'm afraid I won't be able to last for much longer. Please...please make arrangements, sir." Part of the food!"
It's no wonder that Ying Deyuan looked nervous. The other places were basically fine, only Hanzhou was seriously affected by the disaster and the refugee situation.
Furthermore, Shiquan, Weizhou, and Yongkang are all close confidants of Shen Tang. Even in Maozhou, it is said that Ye Mao had a good relationship with Shen Tang before. If you really want to find someone to establish your authority, or kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, As the prefect of Hanzhou, he is definitely the first choice.
After finishing speaking, Ying Deyuan looked at Shen Tang carefully, bending over and not even daring to sit down!
Shen Tang tapped his fingers lightly on the table for a moment, and then said slowly, "Ying Deyuan, as the magistrate of Hanzhou, you are not able to control the flood well. I should have directly reported it to the court to punish you.
However, it is not easy to miss you, so I will give you another chance."
"Thank you, sir!"
Ying Deyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thanked him quickly.
"I have no time to take care of the previous matters. After that, I will allocate 20,000 stone, grain and rice to you for emergency response! For other matters, I will send my close associates to secretly investigate! Therefore, you, as the prefect, will keep your position first. On the body.
As for whether you can continue to do it, it depends on your performance! If you are caught, or the people are in trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"After all, I am also from Chengdu Prefecture, and I can be considered colleagues with you! So, I hope you will not force me to stain you with the blood of the sword given by the emperor!"
"Your Majesty, I obey..." Ying Deyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was also a little frightened.
He knew very well how many holes there were in the entire Hanzhou. The only thing he could do now was to do the next thing as well as possible and let Shen Tang let him go!
"Everyone!"
Shen Tang's eyes swept over everyone, "We are all stationed in one place under the emperor's order, and we have the bounden duty of guarding the land and protecting the country! I hope you will be loyal and fulfill your duties! Live up to the emperor's orders, and live up to the people! If you have merit, I will report to the court. Please take credit for all of you. If you are guilty, don’t blame me for being ruthless and punishing you severely!”
"We will keep this in mind!"
Everyone obeyed!
"Master Yan of Mianzhou has successfully provided disaster relief and the people are stable! Since you are here, go and take a look and learn from Master Yan's methods!"
After explaining a few more words, Shen Tang waved his hand for a few people to leave!
However, only a quarter of an hour later, the door was opened again, and Bian Xi, Shao Hongyuan, and Xin Qiji quietly walked in!
Just as they were about to bow their hands, Shen Tang stood up and said with a smile, "Eldest brother, second brother, General Shao! Sit down quickly, you and I are brothers of life and death, no need to be polite!"
"Ha ha!"
Bian Xi laughed loudly and stepped forward to sit down! Xin Qiji and Xin Qiji were not polite at all and sat directly next to Shen Tang.
"I don't know if the Marquis has invited me to come, but do you have anything to tell me?"
Bian Xi asked with some respect and intimacy.
"First of all, this time I patrol the fifth northwest route, and I'm afraid there will be many dangers. Therefore, in order to scare Xiao Xiao, I need some trusted people to accompany me!"
"Brother, how many troops did you bring this time?"
"I brought 2,500 troops and horses, all of them elite cavalry with one man and two horses!"
Bian Xi said with a bit of pride.
Originally, the number of cavalry in the Song Dynasty was extremely rare, especially in the local army. Even one or two thousand horses were extremely rare! I think back then, in the battle of Tongbai Mountain, Bian Xi captured thousands of horses at once, and even the imperial court They were all extremely shocked.
Even because of these thousands of war horses, Bian Xi was directly taken to the battlefield in Sizhou and became one of the main combat forces under Zhang Jun.
But now, the situation is slowly changing!
The soldiers and horses under Xin Qiji and Bian Xi not only won a great victory with Lingbi in the battle of Sizhou, but also captured many war horses of the Jin Kingdom! In the battle of Chengdu Prefecture, although the Tubo horses were not many, they were They all fell under the command of these main forces.
In addition, when the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom retreated, some of the soldiers and horses were directly donated to the Song Dynasty because of Shen Tang.
And these soldiers and horses also fell under the command of a few of them.
Even in the entire Song Dynasty, even among the Forbidden Army, the three men under Bian Xi were probably the richest.
"Okay! Leave me two thousand soldiers and horses and let me arrange it!"
They are all brothers, so there is no need for Shen Tang to be polite.
"Second brother, three days ago, I received a secret report that at the junction of Hanzhou and Pengzhou, and in the Yanjiang area, there were refugees gathering to rob the surrounding people.
Then you send troops and horses to suppress them as soon as possible! However, most of these people are caused by water damage, so try to kill only the evil leaders and kill chickens to scare monkeys! For the rest of the people, ask local officials about their origins to help resettle them!"
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, they are just some refugees! The general will send a team of elite cavalry over and they will be wiped out quickly!"
