Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 362: 362: Traitors and Grasshoppers (1) [Please take a leave]

  Chapter 362 Chapter 362: Homeless grassroots bandits (1) [Please take a leave]

  Looking at the low office desk that was smashed by himself, the veins on Shen Tang's forehead throbbed wildly, his heart ached with pain. This table is made of high-quality sandalwood. She found it from several inventories, and it is her favorite table recently.

   But he couldn't say it out loud.

  Take a deep breath—

  Tell yourself to learn to control your temper, and the bad habit of scrapping furniture is not advisable. She is not yet rich enough, and if the table is broken, she has to pay for a new one.

   Strange things come and go, all blame Zheng Qiao brothers who don't do anything!

  Xu Jie didn't know what she was thinking.

Just looking at the remorse and distress in her eyes, I made a guess—Shen Jun must have regretted not restraining his temper, and felt sorry for the more than 200,000 innocent people who were driven to death—to be honest, he also felt distressed, but only Can be alone.

   This is not twenty thousand!

   This is a full two hundred thousand!

   Two hundred thousand ordinary people who were forced to become bandits, had no home, and left their homes! They have no land or food in their hands, only countless people and hungry stomachs.

  Now they are like locusts.

  Where you pass, no grass will grow!

  It's nothing to take them out individually.

  Personal strength is slim and cannot make much waves.

   Even if you accept the territory under your own rule, you don't have to worry about causing damage. But 200,000 hungry and crazy people gathered together, looting together, robbing together, even if it was twenty or so, they would feel scalp numb and temporarily avoid the edge.

  Even the protagonist is powerless.

  An inadvertent mistake will be turned upside down.

  The only thing they can do is to manage their own three-acre land to prevent grass bandits from coming to rob and kill people.

  Xu Jie came to tell Shen Tang these things, and he also wanted to remind Shen Jun that this year's situation is not good, and when everyone's harvest is average, Heyin County has a good year.

  Families have paid enough land tax and have one year’s rations left, and the government office’s granary has piled up some...

  Who doesn't get jealous?

  Xu Jie was worried that those grassroots bandits would flee to Heyin.

   You can never go wrong with preparing ahead of time.

  Shen Tang naturally understood.

  It's one thing to sympathize with these common people, but Shen Tang, as the Sheriff of Heyin, can't foolishly go to take these people in because of sympathy. She has so much food to support people? She has enough manpower to restrain more than 200,000 grass bandits from causing trouble, and farm the land in peace? She has so many lands for more than 200,000 common people?

  Shen Tang even worried about his own safety.

  【If you store grain but don’t store guns, your home is a granary; if you store guns but don’t store grain, there are granaries everywhere. 】

  The words that teased Xu Jie before hit him on the head.

  Her family has food, but not enough guns.

  Shen Tang secretly took a deep breath to calm himself down: "Wen Zhu, do you know where they are?"

   "I received the news that I have been driven out of Qianzhou."

   "How long will it take to get to Heyin?"

   "According to the distance, there are still more than a month."

  Shen Tang murmured: "Yueyu..."

   Immediately a rough map of the surrounding area appeared in my mind.

  The Kingdom of Geng and the former Kingdom of Xin are regarded as the first step in the northwest, and the two countries together have four states. They are Lingzhou, Qianzhou, Yanzhou in the original state of Xin, Kunzhou that was seized by the rebellion of the two kings, and the counties and counties that were seized by the two killing small countries.

   Zheng Qiao's current power can only affect Qianzhou and most of Yanzhou. Lingzhou and the remaining Yanzhou area are controlled by various forces, and King Xi's side is not very safe. Although the land is not as big as Zheng Qiao's, but there is plenty of food and grass there.

   Except that there is no national seal, the two kings are not weak.

   Zheng Qiao sent troops to expel these rebellious common people, and drove them to Kunzhou, the stronghold of King Zhu's power, on the way very close to Heyin where Shen Tang was. The autumn harvest has just ended, and the granary is full.

  The gang of hungry and mad grass bandits won't come to rob?

is it possible?

  Xu Jie sighed: "Mr. Shen, can you be sure?"

  Shen Tang smiled wryly.

   "I'm afraid I will live up to the high praise of the text."

  More than 200,000…

   No matter how hard the head is, it can't be hit.

Xu Jie obviously also knew about Shen Tang's difficulties: "...he may not necessarily rob Heyin, maybe he bypassed it halfway...but in order to prevent problems before they happen, Shen Jun should make preparations early. If Shen Jun has difficulties, my lord Will not refuse."

   These words were not made by Xu Jie.

   It was clearly stated to him by the lord himself.

   Tianhai is willing to support with all his wealth!

  The relationship between the two is so good, who is with whom.

  Xu Jie naturally wanted to convey this meaning well.

  Shen Tang could only forcefully smile and say thank you.

   There is no wave in my heart.

  Wu Xian is the leader of a faction, and his every move follows the logic of interests rather than "empathy". It's okay to tease the two "Tangdi's deep love", but whoever takes it seriously will lose.

  He Yin is next to Tianhai.

  Instead of letting grass bandits plunder He Yin and attack Tianhai, it is better to put the battlefield in He Yin. How could Wu Xian watch Shen Tang finish the calf with cold eyes? For their own sake, they have to send troops to help.

  Shen Tang, as a rescued person, had to provide food and supplies.

  She said: "I will discuss this matter with Wuhui and the others."

  Xu Jie didn't urge him either.

  The footsteps of those homeless grassroots were not fast.

   It will be a while before the leading troops arrive at Heyin.

   Discuss slowly and prepare thoroughly.

  Shen Tang was very sad, and the joy brought by the autumn harvest was swept away. After sending Xu Jie away, she turned her head and sent a message to Qishan and the others. As night fell, the urgently summoned people arrived at the government office one after another, and held a meeting with lights on.

   Admittedly, this is bad news.

"Counting the next part of the Dayi account, there are only 5,000 people at full count, and there are more than 200,000 homeless and grassroots with 5,000 people..." Not to mention offense, defense is very difficult, and allocating manpower for defense means that a series of subsequent plans have to be shelved . Shen Tang counted his family fortune with his fingers, just wanted to cry to the sky...

  Why is she so miserable

  The people's livelihood, which has finally improved, will be shut down again.

   "Do you have a good idea?"

  Praying for good is indeed an "evil scheme".

  Dang even said: "Not without it."

  Shen Tang hurriedly asked: "Yuan Liang, tell me quickly!"

  Qi Shan said in a low voice: "The misfortune is diverted to the east!"

  Wu Xian handed out an olive branch when he received the news, isn’t it because he used He Yin as a buffer line of defense? The expelled common people will pass through various counties and counties, and those counties and counties will not collapse so quickly, so they can take the opportunity to drive people in other directions...

  Just avoid Ha Yoon.

   "...how many of us do this?"

   "Borrowing troops from Wu Zhaode, he is probably very happy."

  Shen Tang: "..."

  Of course Wu Zhaode is happy.

  Who made the two families so bitter now?

   Not only Wu Xian, but also borrow troops from Gu Ren and Zhang He.

  If one family suffers, it will be the turn of the next family.

  If you don’t sign up for the group right now, you can only buy a group ticket to meet Hades, but Shen Tang doesn’t want to do that. Because treating the symptoms but not the root cause, apart from letting these more than 200,000 people harm other places, there is no benefit, and the situation may be even worse.

  Shen Tang muttered: "Actually, these more than 200,000 people..."

  Qi Shan saw Shen Tang's thoughts at a glance.

   "Is the lord moved?"

   "That's more than 200,000 laborers!"

   Who can not be moved!

  If it weren't for being really poor, not enough money, and a small land, she really wanted to bring more than 200,000 people back to her home.

  Qi Shan sneered and said, "That has to be endured."

   Obviously, my lord's fate is not so hard.

  Shen Tang: "..."

Seeing his lord's pale face, Kang Shi thought she was hesitant and cowardly because there were too many enemies, so he changed his mind and said, "Xu Wenzhu's worries are not unreasonable, but you don't have to worry too much, lord. Discipline, there is no one to command and dispatch, and it is impossible to be united. When they go into exile near Heyin, there will be at most 30,000 to 50,000."

  Some of them may go into the deep mountains and old forests to become bandits.

  Some of them may occupy counties and counties, so they will call themselves county guards.

  Some of them got separated, died of starvation, or died of illness.

  They are now headless chickens who don't know where to fly. If there are a few ambitious people in the middle, they can pull up the banner and go it alone, which can also divert some people. There will not be too many grassroots bandits who may really pose a threat to He Yin.

   Wu Yang Yang, two hundred thousand people are here?

  How can there be such a concerted action ability.

  If there was, Zheng Qiao would have been kicked off the throne of the king long ago.

  But for Shen Tang's meager family background, 30,000 to 50,000 hungry common people are enough for her to drink a pot.

   These common people have already picked up the butcher knife and turned into grass bandits, so it is difficult to let go. Even if the lord is willing to accept it, the other common people under his rule may not be willing—because the cultivated land in Heyin County has been almost allocated.

  How can it be distributed to foreigners?

  Shen Tang rested his chin and sighed.

  Chu Yao glanced at Kang Shi from the corner of his eye.

  Kang Jishou's words sound fine at first glance, but there is actually a loophole that is not easy to notice.

  These grass bandits plundered through counties and counties, and the people of the local counties were robbed of food and money, and they would also face hunger. The troops in the counties and counties are unable to protect their safety and solve their livelihood problems, and they will continue to join the ranks of grassroots bandits.

   That is to say—

   Now there are more than 200,000 grassroots bandits.

  If they can't resist and allow them to expand and develop wildly, the scale will soar all the way, even to a million.

  Kang Shi also noticed his gaze and nodded slightly.

  Chu Yao swallowed back the words that came to the tip of his tongue.

  He knew that Kang Shi said this because he wanted to boost his own confidence—if their backbones lost confidence and resisted passively, how could the subordinates cheer up?

  Chu Yao took out a simple map and pointed to several places on it: "Xu Wenzhu said that these refugees were driven to Kunzhou, and it is speculated that they will follow this route and pass through these places..."

  Shen Tang craned his neck to look over.

   said: "The previous allies of the Allied Army in Sibao County."

  Chu Yao guessed: "I should be able to receive help after a while."

  If they can't bear it, they will inevitably ask for help everywhere. As the most dazzling figure in that battle, their protagonist is very likely to receive help. At that time, they will join forces with Wu Xian's family to send troops.

  How can you handle this kind of thing by yourself?

   It is natural to pull people into the water.

   Try to separate the battlefield from your own territory.

  Chu Yao’s ideas are the same as Wu Xian’s.

   Of course, this is the most ideal result.

  They also have to prepare for the worst.

   Mobilize the common people in the territory as soon as possible, prepare for war, hide food at home, raise vigilance, and at the same time recruit soldiers, train them urgently, and enrich their own strength. Send people to several sites of Guren to see if they can cooperate again.

  The call for help arrived earlier than expected.

   Originally, there should be more updates today, but my mother explained to me at night that I will get up early tomorrow to visit the graves of my grandparents and the day after tomorrow, so I can only rest early today_(:з」∠)_

   PS: The manuscript fee came out today, hehe, it’s seven or eight thousand more than estimated, happy ヽ(°▽°)ノ When Qingming is over, let’s add more, whoever doesn’t keep his promise will gain ten catties!
