Ten days later, after all the plans were ordered and carried out in an orderly manner, Wang Junlin went to Dongyang County, Donglai County, and was shocked by the scene outside the city. There were endless shacks and noisy people.
Wei Zheng looked at the results of his busy work for a month and reported with a happy face: "Your Majesty, from July to September, there were as many as 100,000 refugees who fled to our Dongyang County alone, and more than 50% of them were from Shandong and
From all the counties in the Central Plains, the furthest ones came from Guanzhong. However, although there are only two meals of porridge a day to ensure that they will not starve to death, the amount of food consumed every day is not a small amount."
Wang Junlin said: "People need to be raised, but we cannot raise them in vain. One month is enough to change their minds. Tomorrow we will start the second stage of diversion and migration. Let me make it clear to them that anyone who is willing to become a common people under my rule will
And those who migrated to the overseas islands and the Annan Kingdom of Goguryeo would each have ten acres of fertile land and be tax-free for three years. The imperial court was responsible for sending them safely, and helping them build houses, prepare farming and fishing vessels, and
They will also be taught how to fish. If they want to return to their hometown after the disaster, we won’t stop them, but from now on, they can’t live and eat for free.”
After a pause, Wang Junlin continued: "Let them provide work relief. I have told Liu Ziming that each of Dongfanyang County, Donglai County and Shanggu County will build a brick and tile factory or cement factory, as well as a glass factory."
, as well as roads in some counties, towns, and villages also need to be built. If that doesn't work, they can be allowed to cultivate fertile farmland in the wasteland and build water canals. These require a lot of manpower. I have already told Liu Ziming and Du Ruhui that your place
Officials need to contact the person in charge sent by Liu Ziming to divert the refugees to work, and then they will be paid wages. Once they get their first wages, you will not have to worry about food, clothing, and housing."
Wei Zheng looked in admiration and said yes respectfully. Wang Junlin nodded and thought of another thing, and said: "In addition, for every 100,000 refugees, I will send people over to recruit 10,000 people to serve as soldiers. Then you will also
We must cooperate well.”
When Wei Zheng heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Although these people are refugees, since they can move to different areas and can work to relieve disasters, I'm afraid not many of them are willing to become soldiers."
Wang Junlin said: "Don't worry! The salary of my Far Eastern Army soldiers is twice as much as that of the Sui Dynasty, and I have made a strategy. Anyone who is willing to serve as a soldier can immediately settle their families in Dongyang County, Donglai County and Shanggu County.
, and there is no need to move to a sparsely populated overseas country, and we are divided into ten acres of land. After these people have seen the life of the people in Fanyang County these days, they are all envious. With such treatment, some people will be willing to serve as soldiers."
…
…
Wang Junlin had never thought that the situation in the Sui Dynasty would deteriorate to this extent because of Li Mi's capture of Liyangcang.
After counting the time, although now because of him and Nie Xiaoyu
The reason is that history has changed a lot, but he believes that Yang Guang has been in Luoyang for a while, and it won't be long before Yang Guang will take a boat along the Grand Canal to Yangzhou and Jiangdu, bringing the Central Plains and Guanzhong, and even
The entire area north of the Yangtze River was handed over to the emperor's eldest grandson, who would preside over it as the crown prince.
Therefore, Wang Junlin is not in a hurry to attack the four counties. He ordered 20,000 recruits to be selected from the first batch of refugees. They have been sent to Shedao to begin basic training for enlistment. Now it is only a month of intensive training before they can serve as soldiers.
Baggage soldiers are used, but the treatment of baggage soldiers is only one third of that of combat soldiers.
Just by immediately settling his family in the three counties of Fanyang, Donglai, and Shanggu, and with the rights to ten acres of land, he could easily acquire 20,000 people from the refugees.
Compared with the inaction of the Sui Dynasty and even the expulsion of refugees, Wang Junlin's actions in Fanyang County, Donglai County and Shanggu County immediately brought great popularity to Wang Junlin and the Far East Army in a very short period of time.
Of course, it was also very attractive to all the refugees. Many refugees did not need the Sui government to send troops to drive them away, so they chose to come to the three counties. There were endless people fleeing to the three counties every day, even some who were not seriously affected by the disaster.
The people of the Sui Dynasty also defected to the three counties.
In late August, the refugees reached a climax, with tens of thousands of people entering Fanyang County every day. No matter how many people came, with the sufficient preparations of the three county governments, there were thousands of overseas islands and Annan Kingdom that were constantly digesting and moving.
, except for a few who died of illness, no one died of starvation. All the refugees were grateful to Wang Junlin, and many quietly erected immortality tablets for Wang Junlin.
…
…
On this day, Wei Zheng took the county officials and more than a dozen guards to the place where he was giving porridge, and chatted with a family of refugees with children. The refugees around him knelt down, and Wei Zheng quickly asked the guards and others to help him up.
He personally picked up a child and gave him candy to eat. The refugees gradually became less nervous and showed simple smiles on their faces. This is already the second batch of refugees received by Dongyang County. The first batch of refugees has already arrived as planned.
Those who migrated overseas have already left by boat, and those who should be diverted to work for disaster relief have already left.
The guard next to him took the opportunity and said loudly: "Fellow folks, this is Mr. Wei, the magistrate of Dongyang County, Fanyang County. He has something to tell you now. Please listen carefully..."
The guards' words made the refugees' eyes light up and their breathing quicken, causing a buzz of discussion. After Wei Zheng waved his hand a few times to silence everyone, he began to speak his carefully prepared words. These words were first
He had said this many times when the refugees came.
The two of them sang and sang together, and the words were very exciting. The refugees were already excited, and they all knelt down and chanted loudly. While talking, Wei Zheng went to the pot to look at the porridge, and fished it out with a spoon. It contained rice and whole grains, and the concentration was still good.
Consider it up to standard.
It's over
Later, Wei Zheng went to see the fire prevention situation around the shacks. Not long ago, another camp accidentally used fire and burned dozens of shacks, killing more than ten people. Fire prevention is a difficult problem in this era. Firewood is mostly used for cooking and heating.
There are a lot of flammable materials and carbon accumulated in the house. Once a fire breaks out, a large area will be burned.
…
…
By the end of September, the number of refugees who came to the three counties from all over the Sui Dynasty exceeded one million. With Wang Junlin's arrangements and people well prepared, the government and the army at all levels operated efficiently, with 1.44 million people
were moved to overseas islands and Annan Kingdom, of which 730,000 refugees moved to nearly a thousand overseas islands. 370,000 refugees moved to Annan Kingdom, and more than 100,000 people moved to Yancheng to become workers. The remaining people were also moved to Yancheng in large numbers.
Organize to build cement, red brick, glass and other workshops in three counties and other places, build roads and schools between villages, towns and counties, and reclaim wasteland.
In addition, Wang Junlin also ordered the recruitment of another 80,000 troops from the refugees, divided them into various battalions, and was seizing the time to conduct intensive training.
In this way, Yuchi Jingde's Tiger Battalion under Wang Junlin had 40,000 people, Luo Shixin's Whirlwind Battalion had 40,000 people, Lu Han's Iron Spear Battalion had 30,000 people, Guan Xiaotong's Iron Hammer Battalion had 30,000 people, and Wang Bodang was in charge of the
The Xiongwu Camp has 20,000 men, and the Baoxiong Camp led by Li Xuanba has added 30,000 Golden Wolf Guards. In addition, Wei Daoer's Steel Blade Camp has 20,000 men, for a total of 210,000 land troops.
In the Annan Kingdom, there were still 100,000 Annan battalions composed mainly of surrendered troops from Goguryeo, led by Liu Yidong.
The Navy's Sea Shark Camp, Sea Lion Camp, and Seal Battalion were reduced in number. The extra 100,000 people were assigned to garrison on various islands, leaving only 20,000 people in each.
As a result, not counting the logistics, second-line troops such as the county soldiers for city defense, and the army of Annan Kingdom, the number of land camps and naval forces that can be used in the campaign in the world has reached 290,000.
The more than one million refugees who came to the three counties only accounted for a small half of the large number of refugees that appeared in the Sui Dynasty in a short period of time.
Most of the remaining refugees are too far away from Fanyang County. On the contrary, these people are closer to Chang'an, Luoyang or the prosperous places in Sichuan and Sichuan. Therefore, even if they heard that Fanyang County is a paradise for refugees, they still cannot reach Fanyang County until they reach it.
They would starve to death, so they still tried their best to go to the Central Plains and Sichuan.
It is conceivable that these people were violently blocked by the Sui government. The direct result of this violence was that the number of rebels also increased sharply. In addition to the city that the local government could control, there were already bandits and bandits outside the city.
of heaven and earth.
In just over a month, nearly a hundred groups of bandits, large and small, appeared. Some were absorbed and annexed by the powerful thieves such as Wagangzhai, while some escaped the obstruction of Sui officers and soldiers and the devouring of large bandits and fled to Hedong.
, the Central Plains, Sichuan, Shu and other places have become rogue bandits with no binding force and great destructive power.
