Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 559 The market of "foreigners" is bullish all the way!
The north wind blows the ground and the white grass turns, and Hu Tian snows in August.

The Central Plains can still get the residual warmth of the sun, but the Liao land is already covered with ice and snow.In this way, it is time to usher in the most turbulent civil unrest.The land of Hebei was brought under the command of the Liangshan Army for less than a few months, and now it is extremely stable, but the corresponding Liao land is still so chaotic.

In the middle of the year, the Liangshan army attacked Liao. Although it did not break through Nanjing, it also caused heavy losses to the Liao army.This not only hit the strength of the Liao Kingdom, but also severely hit the dignity and authority of Emperor Tianzuo.In the following time, there will be endless internal strife among the top Khitan officials. How can they still have time to restore people's livelihood?This appearance also made the high-ranking officers of the Resentment Army headed by Guo Yaoshi enthusiastically pursue Yang Lin and Shi Xiu.

The fault is not that Nanguo still only regards them as 'partners', Guo Yaoshi is already on his knees.

This year, the resentful army was the thug of Khitan, and suppressed a lot of civil unrest, especially at Guo Yaoshi's office, which destroyed a rebellious Bohai navy. It can be said that he stained his own with the blood of Liaodong fellow The official robe has now been mentioned as the commanding army of the resentful army.Now the Ministry is stationed in Yanzhou, which is Juehua Island in later generations.

Why here?
The reason is that this place is the middle section of the Jinxi Corridor, and the two ends are controlled by the Khitans. If a ferocious beast enters the cage, everything is under the control of the Khitans.

Furthermore, the Jinxi Corridor is located in an important location, and it is not peaceful inside. It is very necessary to have a strong army stationed here. Who can be the Army of Resentment?

Guo Yaoshi and others were treated like this by the Khitan, and the money and food were low. If they were still loyal to Daliao, they would be sticks.Therefore, it was only necessary to change the banner to the Liangshan Army, and many high-level officials in the resentment army wished for the Liao Kingdom to die early.

A cold wind blew overnight, and the clouds were densely covered, but it was already snowing heavily all day long.

It's just that this silvery white color can't cover up the ugliness of the world, and the city of Yanzhou is dead silent in the cold wind.A few pieces of land were turned into scorched earth, and the villages on them were turned into broken walls and ruins. The scorched wood faced the white snow in the sky, and white smoke was still rising.

In the field, among the broken bricks and broken tiles, there are already stiff corpses lying everywhere. The blood has already solidified and turned black in the severe cold.

Burning, killing, looting, when people have nothing to eat, the order and morality of the past will disappear.The gradually brightening sky made all this clearer, and the snow fell more densely, and the corpses, sticks, knives, guns, and rags were gradually buried by snowflakes.

In the end, the earth became white, and even the blackened and smoking wood was covered with snow.

Guo Yaoshi slept until dawn, the room was cold, but the charcoal basin had already been burned out.Outside the paper window, several gusts of cold wind blew loudly.He put on his robe and sat up, first kicking the guard who was sleeping in the corner of the outer room to wake up, he sat down on the chair with a big horse and a golden sword, the guard hurriedly opened the door after waking up, and lifted the thick curtain, He looked outside for a while, then turned around and said, "There is so much snow outside, it looks like a goose feather is flying."

Guo Yaoshi was wearing a bearskin robe, he was not shy of the cold, but he knew that the people he gathered in the back camp would not be cold, so he asked his soldiers to pull up the curtains and look out at the snow.I saw the sky outside the outline, and the snowflakes were flying in a vast expanse of whiteness, like a white mist.On the stone steps in front of the eaves, several inches of snow had already piled up, and all traces of filth were gone.

The cold wind howled, the snowflakes flew, and the branches were covered with frost, like silver bars molded from ice, dragged by the howling north wind.The ground and the roof turned into a silver world, and there were strings of crystal-like icicles hanging from the eaves.

"Come on, follow me to see the governor." After a while.Guo Yaoshi threw down the leftover half of the noodle cake and drank the remaining broth in the bowl.He strode out.When he entered the city this time, he came to ask Xiao Amo for money and food.

The weather was extremely cold, with heavy snowfall, the sea between Juehua Island and the mainland had long been frozen, and a large number of refugees poured in. Naturally, Guo Yaoshi was going to ask for help from the governor of Yanzhou, Xiao Amo.

In terms of emotion and reason, Xiao Amo must be informed of such things.But don't take people for fools.

Although the ice and snow made his eyes and ears a little dull, if Guo Yaoshi were to do a major event of nurturing tens of thousands of refugees, he wouldn't be able to hide it from 1 of them.

Although these refugees flocked to Juehua Island, it was also because of the rumors he let people release quietly, but also because of the existence of the Dalonggong Temple on the island, and more importantly, because of the differences between Laizhou and the seashore. stable.

Xiao Amo was very close to Guo Yaoshi after seeing him, but it would be difficult to talk about money and food. "In a remote place like Yanzhou, where does this much money and food come from? Even if I got some money planned by the official, it still needs to be used by the state government." Just blindly denying it.It made Yaoshi Guo very angry.When he came to Zhoucheng, he had such preparations in his heart, but the facts proved that his practice was not ready yet.When this matter came to an end, he still wished he could draw his sword and kill the thief in front of him!
"Hahaha, General Guo, why don't you come here to make fun of me. Look at how to march in the middle of winter, with ice and snow on the road? Even if the thieves intend to invade the country, he can't move on his own at such a time." Hearing Guo Yaoshi Xiao Amo laughed out loud when he mentioned that the rioters in Jinxi Corridor might come to cause trouble to Yanzhou.But he didn't take the chaos outside the city seriously at all.It just destroyed a few Zhuangzi, which is not worth mentioning.

If Guo Yaoshi had been humiliated, he would hold his breath in his heart, blushed and stiffened his neck, and said with a stiff neck: "I'm afraid this is not the case. They are all sons who grew up outside the Great Wall, but they are very afraid of ice and snow?" If there is nothing to eat, everyone will starve to death. Are you afraid of difficulties?

Xiao Amo said: "Although it is so, it is not easy to march in winter." That is to say, it can be ignored.

Guo Yaoshi put on a posture of daring to be angry but didn't speak up, and strode out of the governor's mansion, Xiao Amo just sneered.In the Liao Kingdom, how can Han officials compare with the Khitan nobles?
And Guo Yaoshi came out of the city, looked at the snow in the sky, and felt ruthless in his heart.Since you, Xiao Amo, don't take it seriously and are unwilling to take out a grain of rice, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

He will not directly start a rebellion, but the so-called resentful soldiers have changed their uniforms and armor and put on common people's clothes, and they are common people.

The resentful army did not dare to rebel, but the people who had no way out dared to rise up.

On that day, Guo Yaoshi led his personal guards and rode out of the city on horseback.The cold wind was blowing, and the bare trees on both sides of the road were like bald old men, unable to withstand the attack of the north wind, swaying in the cold wind, and the branches were like dancing whips. Flapping wildly in the air.The north wind blows like a knife, but it can't quench the anger in Guo Yaoshi's heart.

Outside the Dalonggong Temple in the east of Juehua Island, a large number of refugees are queuing up to receive this object.The heavy snow can't quench their desire for food.

Dalonggong Temple is the Buddhist center and Buddhist holy place of the Liao Kingdom. The abbots of Dalonggong Temple in the past dynasties have been regarded as national teachers by the Liao Kingdom.In the Buddhist circles here, it is known as "Putuo Mountain in the south and Juehua Island in the north".

In today's era, the existence of the Dalonggong Temple is very attractive to the influx of refugees.But in fact, the monks of the Dalonggong Temple had fled seven or eight times long ago.But at any rate, he had some family background, so he was laughed at by Guo Yaoshi.

Now it is the resentful army led by Guo Yaoshi who is in charge here.

In the early days when the refugee tide rose, in the Jinxi Corridor, there were very few villages and towns along the road that were not looted—those people who had eaten up the looted food or had been robbed of the food could only be integrated into the refugee tide.And in this environment, human life has become as cheap as a mustard.When there are resentful people among them, or those who have broken jars with blood on their hands, cry out, and the refugee wave becomes a riot.The places that passed by were like locusts, leaving no blade of grass and devastation everywhere-other places that had not been harmed also followed with refugee waves, and they were avoiding the former.

Such news can easily trigger panic among the people.In addition, the city has been closed, and the people can only find places to hide.Countless people took the opportunity to stir up troubles and loot everywhere. There are often villages in the local area that are self-protected, but this kind of place is small and often bullies outsiders.More people flocked to Juehua Island, because there are soldiers here, because there are rumors of relief here, and because there is Dalonggong Temple here.A large number of people who took refuge with their children and their families, rich and poor, all fled here.No matter what, there is still a little bit of poor order left on Juehua Island.

Pharmacist Guo set up a camp at Dalonggong Temple. After all, Juehua Island was such a big place. Apart from a city and few mountains and hills, Dalonggong Temple was the only place to stay.

A large number of people flocked here, and they were sorted into different categories by Guo Yaoshi and settled in each camp one by one.

For example, those beneficiaries, those scholars, and those with courage are all talents.The latter can be owned by one's own army, and some of the former can be reserved to supplement the army.

In his hands were a large number of iron pots and dry food blocks, the lowest dry food blocks, made from a forge driven by a windmill.It is made of coarse grains as the main material, combined with shrimp paste, dried shrimps, fish meal and bone meal.

One piece weighs two taels, but adding water and boiling it turns out to be a big bowl of thick porridge, which is worth a day for one person.

Around the Dalonggong Temple, those big pots are used to boil dry food day and night. No matter whether the refugees are rich or poor, as soon as they enter the camp, they can get a wooden basin and a wooden spoon to get hot food from the pot. .

Such methods naturally saved many refugees suffering from hunger and cold, but a large number of people must have died in these camps.Or starve to death or freeze to death, and some died of illness, and so on.

There is no medicine, even ginger soup is rare.Not to mention noodles and the like.But this is already a paradise for the refugees who have suffered through the wind and snow on the road.

If these people can last until the sea ice melts, Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, and Zhen Wuchen will be at the top of the resentment army, and everyone will be able to make a lot of money.

Even though there are still at least four months until the sea route is unobstructed, compared with the 'manpower' trade, it is still a huge profit.

Nowadays, although Pharmacist Guo and the others are still focusing on the 'skilled professionals' and young adults, men, women, children and women have been proven by the market, and they are also in high demand.

Now that they all knew some of the Liangshan Army's regulations, they all felt amused in their hearts.Just because the Han people can no longer be slaves, the market for 'foreigners' has been bullish all the way?

If such a scene was seen by the Khitan people and the Jurchens in the Northeast, I don't know how they would feel!
