Chapter 77 Refugee Tide

April [-], Yize County.

A week has passed since the spring war ended, and the aftermath of the war and the huge trauma it caused to the people are far from over.

The most intuitive thing is the wave of refugees all over the prefecture.

The three counties of Nanguan, Yingshui, and Baibi, which were most affected by the disaster, lost [-]% of their population, and more than [-] people lost their lives in vain in this war that had nothing to do with victory or glory.

Countless families were broken up, women lost their husbands, and children lost their fathers.

The gray-haired old man has become a loner, sitting under the eaves of his house and smoking a dry cigarette; the child who is crying for food has no one to look after him, and he is walking helplessly and pitifully on the depressed streets...

Hundreds of villages were in ruins.

Those who were lucky enough to survive the brutal killing by the demon army shed silent tears as they looked at their desolate homes, empty rice tanks, chicken coops, pig pens, and trampled farmland.

But no matter how sad or difficult it is, life has to go on.

Everyone carried simple bags, left the freshly planted farmland, walked out of the house, and embarked on the road of begging, gathered together like water droplets, and walked along the official road in a daze.

This round of Yaozu's spring offensive, within the territory of Zhaoyao County, naturally, the Yiyi Mansion and Qingqiu Mansion were the most affected, but looking at the whole Dagan, it didn't stop.

Almost at the same time that the soldiers of Qingqiu State were swaying the county, the more powerful Zhulong Kingdom launched an attack on Longshou County, Taihua County, and Xihuang County in the west of Dagan under the banner of revenge.

The entire western front of the empire is full of flames, and all of them are stirred into the quagmire of war.

In this round of the Yaozu's spring offensive, how many people died in the empire, how many families were affected by the disaster, and how much property was lost have not yet been counted.

This is the shame of the empire.

In Qingqiu Prefecture, disaster victims from Nanguan County and Baibi County flooded into Tangting Mansion next door, while part of the victims from Yingshui County flooded into Yize County, which was not affected by the disaster.

It was the same in Yiyi Mansion, a large number of refugees flooded into the City of Swagger.

It is reported that nearly [-] disaster victims have gathered outside the city of Swagger, covering the sky and the sun, and the number of victims is still increasing, driving the magistrate of Tangting Prefecture almost crazy.

Qian Yuan has no time to pay attention to Tangting Mansion, and he himself is busy.

Facing the flood victims from Yingshui County, Qianyuan couldn't keep them out at all. Twelve porridge sheds were set up in the county town to continuously supply porridge, steamed buns and pickles.

At the same time, all vacant buildings such as schools, shantangs, temples and Taoist temples, and abandoned mansions must be vacated to accommodate refugees so that they will not sleep in the wilderness.

The entire county government was in a mess.

…………

The feudal prince's mansion, the meeting hall.

Guo Jia, a member of the Royal Palace Record Office, is reporting on the preparations for the Yize County City Guard Brigade.

In order to deal with Qingqiu's predictable military retaliation, Qianyuan could only strengthen his combat readiness and bite the bullet to expand his army again when the future of Shendu was uncertain.

In this way, the idea of ​​forming a city guard brigade is ready to emerge.

Guo Jia judged that relying on the defense of Yizeguan and taking advantage of the convenient location, if he wanted to resist the invasion of Qingqiu Kingdom, at least, at the very least, he must have a brigade of troops.

A brigade! ! !
Qianyuan gets a headache just thinking about it.

Yize County can really be called a regular army now. In fact, there is only one battalion, the city defense battalion. The recruit battalions are all recruits recruited from the middle school, and the half-demon troops are still very immature.

Where can I find a brigade of troops?

After two recruitments, all the warriors willing to join the army in Yize County were basically recruited. Even if Qianyuan was not short of spiritual stones and weapons and equipment, it would not be able to recruit qualified soldiers.

For this reason, Guo Jia, who was assigned to prepare for the establishment of the City Guard Brigade, scratched his head.

At this moment, the influx of refugees made Guo Jia see hope, and said with a smile: "There are also warriors among the refugees. As long as we can provide food and housing for their families, it will be easy to recruit them into the army."

"This is no problem." Qian Yuan made a decision on the spot, "We can give two options to the family members of the warriors who join the army. Those who are willing to settle in Yize County will be given a settling allowance, and the subordinate industries of the palace will be hired first. Willing to return home Yes, we will also distribute a return fee and food to ensure that we can survive until the summer harvest.”

In order to recruit soldiers, Qian Yuan is ready to spend a lot of money.

Guo Jia was overjoyed, "If this is the case, it will be much easier to handle. In addition, my lord, I suggest that you can send a small team into the disaster area and recruit soldiers there, so that there will be more soldiers."

Uncle Zhong who attended the meeting frowned and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

According to the regulations, the vassal king was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without any reason, nor could he interfere in affairs outside the fiefdom, otherwise it would be an overstep of the regulations.Once discovered, they will be impeached by the censor.

It is reasonable to recruit soldiers from the refugees who poured into Yize County, but can they go to other counties?
That's crossing the line.

Guo Jia still didn't give up, "According to what my lord said, if the half-monster troops are not incorporated into the city guard brigade, the shortage of soldiers will be as high as 1500. With these refugees in the county alone, I am afraid that the recruitment is not complete. As long as they don't attack the feudal palace Name, quietly proceed, special period, I think it should be no problem."

The two looked at Qian Yuan, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Qian Yuan pondered for a while, and said: "Let's leave this matter to Aning. It's not about recruiting soldiers, but about Baoluxuan recruiting guards. Let's bring people back first."

"His Royal Highness (Lord) is wise!"

Qian Yuan smiled, he had seen too many such clever names on Earth.

Seeing that the establishment of the City Guard Brigade had finally made a breakthrough, Qian Yuan was in a good mood, and said to Guo Jia, "You will be fully responsible for the preparation of the City Guard Brigade. We will discuss the relevant personnel when all the soldiers are in place."

"As ordered!"

After all, Guo Jia has seen "strong winds and waves", so this is not a problem for him.

Qianyuan looked at Uncle Zhong again and asked, "Do you have anything to report on refugee resettlement?"

Uncle Zhong cupped his hands and said, "As of today, the large refugee wave has basically come to an end, and there will be more in the future, and there will only be some sporadic refugees, so they won't be in a hurry like before."

"That's good." Qian Yuan nodded, "There are so many refugees that can't be kept for nothing. Does the county government have any plans to make good use of them?"

"some."

Uncle Zhong said: "The three major projects at the beginning of the year were temporarily put on hold due to the war, and now they are restarted together, with work in lieu of relief, so that these people will not have nothing to do and cause trouble in the county."

Human nature is really complicated.

Yize County treated these refugees with good food and drinks. At first, the refugees suffering from hunger and cold were really grateful to the county government and the feudal prince's mansion, but once the problem of food and clothing was solved, other desires arose.

If it is not satisfied, the little gratitude before may turn into resentment.

Doing good deeds may not necessarily bring good rewards.

Sending refugees to the construction site and using work as relief has always been the best choice for disaster relief. It just so happened that Yize County had this need, so it was a hit.

Qian Yuan said: "In addition to the three major projects, the construction of a permanent camp near Yizeguan must also be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Don't recruit soldiers when the time comes, but there is no place to station."

"Understood!" Uncle Zhong nodded.

As the three of them were talking, the personal guard hurried in and presented the latest information, which was sent by Zhou Qing who was stationed at Yize Pass.

According to the informant, the spring offensive was thwarted, and the Qinghu King was severely reprimanded by Hu Zun, which made the Qing Hu King lose face, and issued a military order in front of Hu Zun, and he would definitely be ashamed.

At the same time, the Green Fox Army also made adjustments.

The original title of the Tiger Demon Army was cancelled, and replaced by a new team of [-] people—the Fox Demon Army, whose leader was the new general of the Fox Demon Army—Hu Qiu.

Qianyuan didn't expect that Hu Qiu, who had escaped, could turn over again.

"There's no need to guess now, Qingqiu Kingdom will definitely retaliate, and the intensity will definitely be considerable." Qianyuan smiled bitterly and handed the information to Guo Jia and Uncle Zhong for circulation.

"I will recruit all the soldiers as soon as possible." Guo Jia also had a serious face.

Qian Yuan said: "It's okay, but you can't mess up your own position. Let's follow the established rhythm. Not surprisingly, the main force of revenge should be the Fox Demon Army, and they also need time to form a new army."

"understand!"
