Chapter 3406
The head of the Qingliu, Su Yuanjing, who was the first-rank Taiwei, fell ill in bed after returning home.

Outside the city was full of enthusiasm, Song Yuchan sent people to select young and strong people among the victims, and signed contracts with them.

As long as they agree to go to Tianshan City to open up wasteland and cultivate land, the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce will provide each of them with hundreds of acres of land.

These lands do not have to pay any taxes for the first three years.

The Shenlong Chamber of Commerce provided them with seeds, agricultural tools, and even scarce cattle for free.

After the victims could no longer survive, the land in their hometown has long been desolate, and they are sold for sale.

Now someone gives hundreds of acres of land without paying taxes and grains, so they don't care where Tianshan City is.

On the canal wharf, Caobang's cargo ship soon berthed and docked.

The first batch of victims who signed the contract boarded the ship smoothly.

Thousands of strong men and thousands of young women have embarked on an unknown journey from here.

Their family members will be settled by the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce for the time being, and these people will rush over there together after they settle down there.

This is a super immigration plan caused by the war, involving millions of people.

It costs money and is even more expensive.

Song Yuchan specially customized a batch of iron-clad cargo ships for Caobang to transport in the inland river, and the quality was much better than Caobang's wooden boats.

It is driven by the latest Lingshi engine, and its speed is at least three times higher than before.

In a month's time, all this is finally on the right track.

Every day, ships set sail on the pier sounding their whistles, and the number of disaster victims outside the capital also began to divert.

The people in the government regarded these as their own merits, and they even reported to the court, asking Huizong to praise them for their hard work in helping the victims.

There are three grain depots, and the grain stocks are decreasing day by day.

By the end of the month, they have bottomed out one after another.

Some of these stored grains were distributed to the victims, and some were transported away with the victims by cargo ships.

Enough for these immigrants to use on the road.

From the time of the autumn harvest, the Kyushu in the Central Plains controlled by the imperial court were all the granaries of the Song Dynasty.

The wheat in the field is golden yellow, and already exudes a burst of wheat fragrance.

After sowing in spring, the wheat harvested in autumn is a common crop in the Song Dynasty.

Especially in the Central Plains, the land is fertile.

The wheat is growing very well, and one mu of irrigated land can harvest three thousand catties of wheat.

In the Taiping Festival, the weather is smooth and the weather is good, which is definitely a bumper harvest year.

But this year, Fang La's army pointed directly at the Kyushu in the Central Plains.

They competed with the court soldiers and horses for the autumn grain, and there were reports of Fang La's army in every land that produced grain.

One by one, the military situation gathered in the capital, and in the city not far from the capital, signs of looting food and grass under the banner of Fangla were even found.

Landlords in various cities formed their cities to protect themselves one after another, and some even colluded with Fang La, secretly providing information to Fang La and helping Fang La to plunder the local area.

All this is because of Cai Jing and Tong Guan's concealment.

Song Huizong ignored them, and still enjoyed playing with Li Shishi in the harem.

Su Yuanjing really couldn't sit still, if he waited any longer, the city of Bianliang would be in danger.

He personally led all the officials and beat the Dengwen drum outside the palace gate.

After Huizong held a palace meeting, the military situation in various places was transferred to Huizong.

Huizong turned pale with fright, he did not expect that the rebels had already moved under his nose.

He and Su Yuanjing asked, "Su Taiwei, didn't you summon Qi Guogong to go south to suppress the rebellion, why is there no movement now?"

Su Yuanjing was speechless, it was obviously Cai Jing and others in the court who made trouble, and arranged layers along the river to block the passage to the south.

Now, Huizong didn't know it at all, and he and Qi Guogong were all to blame.

He immediately told Huizong the truth, knelt on the ground and howled, "Your Majesty, the rebels are rampant and have reached the point of lawlessness. If they are allowed to continue to make trouble, the capital of our Great Song Dynasty will definitely be destroyed!"

Only then did Huizong feel a little nervous, he patted the dragon chair and cursed, "A child like a dog thief is really harming the country and the people. Immediately hold a court meeting to discuss countermeasures against the enemy."

Su Yuanjing kowtowed and finally waited for this day.

As soon as the court meeting was held, Huizong scolded Cai Jing, Tong Guan and his party, telling them to open the checkpoint immediately and let Qizhou soldiers go south to suppress the bandits.

Cai Jing and others had no choice but to lead Song Gongming south to suppress the rebellion according to Huizong's will.

Right now, thieves are looting everywhere, and their interests are constantly being damaged.

Only when Song Gongming comes out of the mountain can we clean up the mess now.

As soon as the imperial decree arrived, Qizhou's million-strong army finally went south at the end of September and crossed the river mightily.

Their military appearance is neat and disciplined, and there is no crime in the land they pass, and the people all clap their hands and praise.

When the army arrived at the outskirts of the capital, Gao Qiu comforted the soldiers with imperial wine.

When he saw these millions of soldiers, he couldn't help being terrified. He didn't expect Song Gongming's team to grow so strong in such a short period of time.

It's just the equipment of an ordinary soldier, wearing silver armor, and the steel spear in his hand is equivalent to the imperial imperial guard's equipment.

They have 20 war horses.

All of them are war horses that were looted from the grasslands and bought back. The mane is flowing, and the horses are fat and healthy.

Such a large army actually completely obeyed Song Gongming's orders.

Duke Qi just wants to be king and hegemony now, and there is no power in the world to stop him.

Gao Qiu couldn't bear the jealousy in his heart, so he tampered with the imperial wine, and asked people to replace the imperial wine with sour lees.

Jar after jar of wine was arranged before the battle, the wine bowls were filled, and placed in front of the soldiers.

The high-ranking generals in the army each picked up a bowl.

Song Gongming, Duke of Qi, held up the wine bowl happily and shouted, "Your Majesty is merciful, and rewarded our army with thousands of altars of aged wine. When I drink this bowl of wine, I will repay the country's favor and live up to your majesty's entrustment!"

"drink!"

All the soldiers held up their wine bowls and gulped down the same excitedly.

As soon as it entered the entrance, a group of people sprayed out one after another.

Song Gongming also raised his eyebrows, suppressing his nausea and swallowing the imperial wine in his mouth.

The soldiers below turned their faces directly, smashed their wine bowls one by one, and shouted angrily, "Zhi Niang, what kind of broken wine is this?"

"This wine is like vinegar, so it's too bad to drink, isn't it?"

"Is the imperial court deliberately humiliating us?"

"Dog court, use this shabby to fool us!"

"..."

The harder they scolded, the more excited Gao Qiu became.

He and Song Gongming pulled faces, and reprimanded coldly, "Qi Guogong, your subordinates seem to have a lot of opinions on His Majesty?"

Song Gongming's heart sank, and he held back his anger and apologized to Gao Qiu, "Forgive me, my brother, you guys are new here, and you are not acclimatized, so it is understandable for you to complain for a while."

Gao Qiu scolded, "The thief will not change, are they complaining? I think they want to rebel!"

Wu Yong stood aside, went up and held a bank note and stuffed it into Gao Qiu's hand, saying, "Calm down, Taiwei, I will serve the country loyally, how can I have the heart to rebel. Please go back and tell our brothers A few good words will benefit you from the Taiwei in the future!"
