Chapter 284: Organizing the Unification Mission

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, there was an unexpected weather condition and it suddenly rained heavily!

Xiao Lang led his army to Julu, but was blocked by the rain, so he ordered them to rest temporarily!

Suddenly, I saw some figures moving on the ridge of the fields facing north.

Fearing that the enemy's situation would change, he hurriedly took out his telescope, looked at himself in amazement, and also shouted to calibrate the target.

"Well, you are right!"

"They really look like refugees fleeing famine!"

"I think they are probably fleeing north to the vicinity of Gyeonggi Province!"

Zhizhong grabbed the telescope and raised his arm to take a closer look.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh, and there was no response.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang suddenly raised his eyebrows, and before he could respond, he hesitated and thought for a moment!
"That's right, Lao Xiao!"

"You asked me to take in refugees from Northern Zhili and Southern Jiangxi before!"

"Do you still remember?!"

"I've been helping you maintain this!"

"Right now, the number of refugees we have helped and resettled is close to a thousand!"

“These refugees”

"Old Xiao, you should give us a clear explanation of your plan!"

"If you want to recruit soldiers, I will deal with the old, weak, women and children among this group of people as soon as possible!"

"After all, there are quite a few poor and weak people among the refugees!"

"Alas, I really don't know how many people I need to gather to form an army for you!"

"If you don't have any other ideas, then I will give travel expenses to those who are not fit to fight and let them go on their own to save their lives!"

"We have done our utmost to this extent in this matter, and it can be considered as the utmost kindness and justice!"

"First of all, I don't have enough manpower here. This arrangement is not a long-term solution!"

"Besides, helping the refugees in need is a righteous cause!"

"But our strength is limited. We can't tie our feet to the refugees and march to fight, right?!"

"Just give them enough money to live on for a short period of time, that's all!"

"What do you think?!"

"Old Xiao, if you want to accomplish great things, don't be too soft-hearted!"

Qiu Zhizhong was thinking about the refugees who suddenly appeared in the heavy rain and how to gather the displaced people in southern Jiangxi before this, and he had something to say about it.

Hearing this, Xiao Lang smiled and looked away. It seemed that he already had a plan in mind, so he sat down slowly and waved his hand to call Zhizhong to sit down and talk.

"Hehehe"

"Are there a thousand people?!"

"Feiyu's work is indeed extraordinary!" Xiao You joked.

When Zhizhong heard this, he could only laugh helplessly.

"Haha, Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), to be honest, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it for a while!"

"Since we have gathered these people together and you are asking about it, then we can make some plans based on this. It is not a bad idea!"

Xiao Jingchuan looked around, keeping the question in suspense.

"oops!"

"Old Xiao wow!"

"What on earth are you up to? Stop showing off in front of me. Tell me now! Tell me now!"

Zhizhong frowned, pretending to be impatient and irritable, and replied in a choking tone.

"Haha, great!"

"Hi!"

"Let's talk about this. If you want to talk about my original intention, then I really care about these people who have been displaced and slaughtered by foreign races. I can't bear it and I care about them!"

"Poor!"

"Feiyu, you know a little bit about my personal affairs!"

"I experienced the same thing when I was a kid!"

"If I don't save him, I will feel really guilty!"

"For this, and for my selfish desire, Feiyu, you've been suffering these days!"

As he spoke, Xiao Lang sighed with a hint of melancholy. He stretched out his arm and patted Zhizhong on the shoulder as a gesture of thanks.

"But, apart from that!"

"I do have another idea, which can be used to take care of the follow-up of this matter!" "Fei Yu, my idea is, can you please select people to set up a troupe of opera and variety shows?"

"In order to help our army fight against foreign invaders in the north, you have to take on the task of Tongxuan!" Xiao Lang said in surprise.

"kindness?!"

"Drama, drama troupe?!"

Xiao Jingchuan suddenly said something shocking. Zhizhong was stunned when he heard it. He was confused and kept asking him for details.

"hehe."

"That's right!"

"At present, the Jiannu army is strong and powerful in the north!"

"Although only some small towns in the southern part of Northern Zhili have been persecuted, a large number of refugees have fled southward!"

"But in my opinion, this situation will only get worse in the future!"

"In the short term, it will be difficult for us to protect ourselves. The Northern Expedition will not be accomplished in a short time!"

"Drive out the Jiannu and recapture the capital! This is what you and I must do!"

"But how?!"

"I think just the soldiers fighting in battle formations may not be enough!"

"The people's support is related to the overall situation!"

"In the future, if you and I can gain a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, we can also attack the Jiannu in the north. The stalemate between the two armies will be inevitable in the next few years!"

"In this case, if we can prepare a unified propaganda team in advance, it will be composed of people who have personally experienced the slaughter and abuse by foreigners in the north!"

"Use their miserable experiences to call upon the ignorant people of the South!"

"When the time comes, if the Jiannu invades the south again, in order to protect our homes, wives, daughters and relatives, we can recruit everyone as soldiers! We can stop them everywhere!"

"If this move is successful, not only will we have unprecedented manpower and popularity, but in the future, our large forces will be able to conduct guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines with ease!"

"With the support of the people, we can raise the banner of the Northern Expedition to restore the country. Why should we worry about not achieving great things?!"

"Fei Yu, what do you think?!" Xiao Lang spoke calmly to ease his mind.

After hearing these words, Zhizhong felt as if he had suddenly realized something!
"what"

"I see!"

"From this! You and I can be one in front and one behind, one white and one black, fighting on two fronts in one mission!"

"Get twice the result with half the effort! Great things may be accomplished!" Zhizhong attached comment.

"Haha., yes!"

"So, this matter must be continued!"

"This is just the beginning!"

"I'm thinking that not only the southwest of the country, but also Shandong, Jianghuai, and even the entire southern provinces can follow suit in the future!"

"The initial results of unified propaganda work will be slower and more difficult!"

"But its value, once it takes shape, is immeasurable!"

"So I think, Feiyu, you can first select an official to coordinate this matter."

"After all, you hold an official position in the court, and you should not slack off in the work of the Jinyiwei."

"Besides, we have only gone south to protect the crown prince and establish a dynasty. If we are to take on such an assignment, I'm afraid you will have to avoid suspicion!"

"As for the pros and cons here, you know the ways of officialdom better than me. As for me, there is no need for me to say more!" Xiao Lang followed the discussion.

“Yeah, hehe.”

"Understood! Don't worry!"

"As for the person in charge of the preparations you mentioned, it's not impossible to pick one!"

"Well, haha, how come, since you said so, I guess you have found a qualified candidate?!" Zhi Zhong was smart and suddenly asked back.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingchuan paused and hurried back.

"what?!"

"Hey! You Feiyu! You have such a clever mind!"

"I don't have any choice!"

"You are the one who needs to do all the specific tasks! Why would I recommend anyone?"

"But I just want to discuss a few things with you!"

"You have to do all the specific operations and tasks!"

"As for me, I'm still busy with military affairs. I can only continue to be a hands-off manager in this matter!"
