I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Thousands of beggars appeared in front of Liu Sheng, dressed in rags, with dull eyes, hands covered with frostbite, and pus flowing.

Some were wearing straw sandals, some were wrapped with two pieces of cloth, and the best ones had their feet wrapped with animal skins. Their clothes were incompatible with the heavy snow, and I don't know how they got here.

A large group of Shuozhou sergeants were busy among the crowd, scattering the crowd, lighting bonfires, setting up pots, and boiling water. Without something to warm them, they were afraid they would freeze to death.

There was no life in the eyes of these beggars. They were like animals being driven. They didn't resist much and just went wherever they were told.

"What are these?" Liu Sheng looked at Liang Shouyi in confusion.

Liang Shouyi explained: "This is the army sent by the Khitans. This is just the vanguard. I don't know how many more will follow, at least [-]."

"The Khitans sent sergeants to drive them away until they reached the Sanggan River and let them go south, then they stopped taking care of them."

Liu Sheng forgot one issue, that is, Shuozhou and Yingzhou, the southernmost states of Khitan, were so severely affected by the disaster. I am afraid that the entire northern grassland will be even more serious!

Judging from the news received, there was a blizzard raging from Zhongjing to Hebei in Song Dynasty, affecting a wide range.

Khitan was not rich in natural resources, and with years of war, it was even more difficult to treat these victims.

Yelu Chun regarded Yingzhou as a refugee shelter. This kind of army was very similar to South Korea's strategy of weakening the Qin Dynasty during the Warring States Period. So he didn't believe that Liu Sheng would attack the Song Dynasty next year?

Among this group of beggars, there were mostly women and children, mostly young and strong, and the elderly were almost invisible. It seemed that the Khitan's situation was more difficult than he thought.

They can't even recruit young men to join the army. These are all good soldiers. Although they look sallow and thin now, where are their foundations? After walking in the snow for so long, without good physical fitness, he would have died on the road. As long as he takes good care of himself for two or three months, he will be a good warrior.

Whether they are recruited to serve as soldiers or to farm, they are all good candidates. In this era of backward production technology, no matter how many people Liu Sheng thinks it is enough, as long as they survive the initial difficult times, the wealth created by these people is unimaginable. .

Liu Sheng shouted, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay." He didn't think these refugees were a trouble. As for food, Liu Sheng was really not short of food. Yingzhou already had food in stock, and with the proceeds from ransacking homes, he didn't know how long he would have to eat.

When this group of refugees saw Liu Sheng and others, in addition to a hint of vigilance, there was also a little fear in their eyes.

They know that the person who will decide their fate has appeared. Whether they stay here or continue to be driven south depends on this person's decision.

Although the Khitan people said they could settle down in Shuozhou, they didn't believe it.

Liu Sheng looked at the refugees and said: "Hello everyone, my name is Liu Sheng, and I am in charge of affairs in Yingzhou. Since you have come to Yingzhou, you are the people of Yingzhou. I will build houses for you and distribute land to all of you. Settle down in Yingzhou.”

This group of refugees was still lifeless. They seemed to have no eyes to see anything and no ears to hear words. They looked at Liu Sheng stupidly.

They heard too many nice words. When they arrived at a place, the local officials would say nice words to give everyone something to look forward to, and then each of them would drink a bowl of rice porridge and continue to drive them south.

What's more, these words sound too false, and they are completely fooled into thinking they are fools. Why build a house? Settled? It's better to give me a bowl of porridge...

Liu Sheng had already expected such a situation. At this time, there are thousands of words to say, so it would be more convincing to come with a bowl of rice.

As soon as Liu Sheng arrived here to learn about the situation, he asked Mi Xing to rush to Yingzhou to transport grain.

It was also delivered at this time.

With a wave of Liu Sheng's hand, bags of grain were brought down by Liu Sheng. Although not much, it was enough to feed these thousands of people a bowl of gruel.

Let them regain some strength and go to Yingzhou.

Liu Sheng has already asked people to build snow houses around Yingzhou City.

Seeing the food, this group of people finally felt a little frightened, but they also looked around with vigilance. No one dared to move lightly.

It wasn't until the smell of rice came from the pot that it seemed to arouse the desire in my heart, and there was some light in my eyes.

He stared closely at the pot. If it weren't for the sergeant watching over him, he might have gone up to grab the food.

"Line up, don't rush, don't rush, everyone has a bowl, and after eating, continue south to Yingzhou."

This group of guys lost everything except the guys who were eating. As soon as they heard the meal was served, these people lined up skillfully without making any noise or jumping in line, one after another.

They seem to have developed a good habit, or maybe they jumped in line in Khitan and were afraid of being beaten.

The troublemakers were chopped off on the road, and the rest were obedient, otherwise they would not be so quiet.

Maybe they were afraid of being chopped down, but they didn't make any sound even when they queued up to get porridge. These people were very numb, but it was just right for Liu Sheng at this time, he could be obedient and had no ideas of his own, doing whatever he was told.

Where can we find this kind of good labor force?

Liu Sheng did not show any pretense and asked them to continue walking south to Yingzhou City after dinner.

There were many porridge shacks set up along the way. They walked all the way south and ate while walking. They should be almost there by evening.

Liu Sheng didn't know how they stayed at night, but they couldn't be allowed to sleep in the snow when they arrived in Yingzhou.

At this time, Liang Shou came back from beating the horse and said: "General, another big wave has been driven from behind.

There are no less than 2 refugees gathered at the Sanggan River. Do we want to drive them back?

Refugees are a headache for rulers at any time and in any era.

Maybe it's just a refugee army, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

Liu Sheng slapped his thigh, thinking about this good thing, and looked at Liang Shouyi dissatisfied. He ran away just after introducing the situation. Can't you just listen to what he said before going to investigate?

"What the hell, move the porridge shed forward quickly, from the Sanggan River to the south. No one can freeze to death or starve to death.

If there are no soldiers or food in hand, this group of people will definitely be one of the unrest. But now if this group of people wants to cause trouble, even the people of Yingzhou can kill them all without the army taking action.

The victims who had eaten the porridge seemed to have some warmth in their eyes, and they no longer looked at Liu Sheng coldly.

But a bowl of gruel was obviously not enough to fill their stomachs, and many people kept licking the bowl.

They stared at the porridge shed with burning eyes, but no one dared to have any ideas.

Skillfully followed the large army southward, and as expected, all officials in the world were the same, and continued to drive them southward.

Are you afraid that you won the Song Dynasty? The refugees had doubts in their hearts, wondering whether they, the Khitan people, would have porridge to drink when they arrived in Song Dynasty.

There are too many refugees. If we want to resettle these refugees, we cannot all use sergeants.

If chaos breaks out, it will be difficult to suppress it.

Liu Sheng shouted among the refugees: "Whoever wants to work, come to me and sign up. Work two meals a day for ten dollars."

"If you don't want to, you can only drink one meal a day..." Liu Sheng was almost drowned by the crowd before he could finish his words.
