Chapter 49 Porridge

Liu BuTong glared at Li Futong and said displeasedly: "Don't be too proud. If, as my lord said, a big chaos breaks out in Denglai, it will definitely be big! Once someone comes to invade, I'm afraid not only

Hundreds of thieves are so simple!

Our more than sixty guns may not be able to stop them! So I always feel that it is still a bit insufficient! By the way, isn't there a ship coming to deliver a batch of food in the next two days? I don't know if it will be

Send some more manpower over, if we can get two more platoons...even one platoon, with fifty more guns, it will be easier to handle!

In this way, the tenants who have been accommodated in Zhaizi and Tuwei in the past two days have almost been resettled. Currently, opening up wasteland and cultivating land is the second priority. You can gather the young and strong among these tenants these days and bring them to them.

Go inside the earthen fence, it's quieter over there, and train them. Also bring the round rod machines and circular saws that were delivered. The lumber over there is enough for you. Find a few people, and prepare the bows and arrows first.

good!

In addition, first equip the long spears with the barrels. Don't issue them yet. Let's practice them with wooden poles first, so that these tenants can be trained into village warriors. If anything happens, they can help you and act as auxiliary soldiers!

But as for the weapons, don’t expose them now, otherwise it will be troublesome if the government knows about them!”

"Yes! I'll do it now!" Li Futong saw Liu BuTong was so worried. Although he felt a little disapproving, he didn't dare to say anything more. Sea Wolf is very particular about orders and prohibitions. Liu BuTong is the person in charge here, the master.

Officer, his words are military orders. As he cooperates with Liu Butong in his actions here, he naturally has to obey his orders.

This has a lot to do with the military system of Sea Wolf. Yu Xiaotian believes that the most taboo thing in the army is for those below to commit crimes against superiors, disobey orders and show disrespect. The army should be a hierarchical place. The higher one is higher than the sky. As a subordinate, no matter what

At any time, even if the orders from your superiors are wrong, you can only obey them. If you are dissatisfied, you can only appeal according to the established procedures. You must still act in accordance with the orders until the appeal is approved.

Unless they are soldiers in the army, they can temporarily expose their identities and take over command when they discover that officers have obviously rebelled or deserted from battle. But even so, their actions at that time must be strictly scrutinized afterwards.

review.

Therefore, in the Sea Wolf's military system, the establishment of the military rank system has made the sense of obedience stronger. This is probably the first level of official rank to crush people to death!

Of course, another situation may arise, that is, the superior will sometimes appoint individual lower-ranking officers to temporarily take charge of the work during some operations, but the prerequisite for this is that there must be a handwriting from the superior.

Currently in Xishan Village, Liu BuTong is the designated chief officer, not to mention that he has the highest military rank here, so everyone here must obey his orders.

When the time entered early November, the weather here in Dengzhou Prefecture had begun to get completely cold. The cold wind began to cross the Bohai Sea and swept from the far north to the south. Early frost began to form in Denglai and other places.

Ice, the temperature at night has dropped to a very low level, almost to the point where a drop of water turns into ice.

Winter in the Little Ice Age did come much earlier than in other eras. People had already started to wrap themselves in thick clothes at the end of September. Fortunately, it was still relatively warm at noon during the day, but

As soon as the sun goes down, the temperature will drop sharply, making people feel bitingly cold. People who have nothing to do will hide in the house early, light a charcoal fire, and keep warm around the charcoal pot.

This kind of winter is really difficult for ordinary people, because most of them do not have thick enough winter clothes, fur coats and other things to keep out the cold. For them, it is even more out of reach.

Luxury goods.

Some people even don’t have shoes, let alone cotton boots. After winter, many people still have bare feet. They run around barefoot all day long. Their feet are blue and purple from the cold, which makes people look and feel very uncomfortable.

uncomfortable.

Some smarter people find ways to find some hay and twist it into thin straw ropes, then weave them into straw sandals and mix them with rag strips, which can keep out the cold to some extent.

However, because the weather in Denglai area was not smooth this year, and the social security was very poor, and there were hordes of bandits, many people were unable to survive after winter, and they did not have enough food stored at home. After winter,

Many people can only drag their families and families out to escape, trying to find a way out in the city.

So after winter came, a wave of refugees began to form in various places. Refugees flocked from all directions to the state capitals and counties in various places, and some gathered near some large castles.

More and more people are dying of hunger on both sides of the roads in various places. Whenever someone collapses on the side of the road, their clothes will be stripped off and worn by others before they even take their last breath. Almost all the people who die of hunger are

, all stripped naked, with no human dignity left at all.

Liu BuTong often traveled between Ninghai Prefecture and Deng Prefecture during this period. When he saw such a scene, other than sighing, he had no good solution for the time being. As time went by, he couldn't help but feel a little numb.

Ever since we received the news at the end of September that the Jiannu army was besieging Dalinghe City and Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua had sent Kong Youde and 800 Liaodong elite cavalry to Guanning for reinforcements, no more news had been received for more than a month.

Although Liu BuTong has been sending people to keep an eye on the situation in Dengzhou Prefecture, he has not received any more news in the past month. Although the area around Dengzhou Prefecture is still noisy, nothing major has happened. Shandong

The relationship between the soldiers and the Liaodong soldiers became more and more tense after the winter began. Small fights occurred every day, but they did not cause too much commotion.

For a while, Liu BuTong was a little confused about what would happen next, so he could only continue to secretly gather some people and temporarily fill them in the Yangma Island soil enclosure.

But this time, he is no longer as cautious as he was some time ago. With the onset of winter and the formation of a refugee wave, the number of hungry people in Ninghai Prefecture has also surged. The hungry people have flocked to Muping County, Ninghai Prefecture, resulting in

A large number of hungry people gathered around Muping County.

Moreover, the number of these hungry people is increasing every day. From a few thousand at the beginning, it has now increased to over 10,000.

Muping County has closed its city gates to restrict the influx of hungry people into the county. It has also strengthened the city's defense forces and mobilized rural warriors from within the city to suppress the hungry people who gathered outside the city.

However, the relief provided by the government was pitifully small. First, the government itself did not have much grain reserves. Due to the Liaodong War, a large amount of grain and grass was concentrated in Dengzhou Prefecture. The grain reserves in various counties were very limited. Second, those who had

The landowners, gentry and large households who have stored grain will never generously take out the stored grain for relief. Even if they do not hoard goods for special purposes, in such an age, it is inevitable to stock up on some grain for unexpected needs.

choice.

Therefore, although more and more hungry people gathered, the government did not provide enough relief. Every day at dawn, dozens of dead bodies appeared outside the city.

On the other hand, in Xishan Village, Liu Butong never stopped serving porridge at the porridge shack outside the village. He cooked four pots of porridge every day and gave porridge to the hungry people who gathered here.

Therefore, many hungry people heard that someone was giving porridge in Xishan Village, so they gathered in the Xishan Village area.

Xishan Village is located in the north of Mouping County, about ten miles away from the sea. In the past, few people would pay attention to it. It was considered a remote place. However, with the appearance of Liu BuTong, an unprecedented lively scene appeared in Xishan Village.

A large number of hungry people gathered in the Xishan Village area, eagerly waiting for Liu Dashan of Xishan Village to cook porridge every day, which made Liu Shanren's reputation reach its peak in just a few months.

Seeing so many hungry people gathering in Xishan Village, Liu Buong could no longer hold back. He knew very well that his lord Yu Xiaotian was eager to immigrate. There were so many hungry people in front of him, but he could not get rid of them.

For him, it was a very painful thing, and he knew very well that this time he was sent to Dengzhou Prefecture, which was an important opportunity in his life.

If he can take this opportunity to accomplish something here and get more immigrants back to his lord, it will undoubtedly be of great help to his future status in the Sea Wolf Group.

So he saw the hungry people gathering more and more. Although there was no major chaos in Denglai Land, he felt that it was necessary to take action and began to move the hungry people back.

As the temperature gets lower and lower, thin ice floes have appeared on the sea. In as little as a month, the sea along the coast will be frozen, and ships will no longer be able to sail to Yangma Island.

The only way to transport hungry people is by land. Transporting these hungry people by land consumes more manpower and material resources, and the journey is also very unsafe. Many thieves are keeping an eye on these hungry people, although there is not much money to be made for them.

, but they can coerce them into joining the group and increase their momentum.

In addition, young women among the hungry people are also good commodities. After being snatched away, they can be exchanged for money and sold. This is very attractive to the bandits. It is difficult to transport the hungry people overland.

On the way to Shidao Bay, you will be attacked by many groups of bandits.

So if you want to take action, you must do it now. Liu Buping knows best that what Taiwan needs now is young women. For a long time, the immigration structure on Taiwan Island has not been very coordinated. The majority of young men are young men.

After the elderly, weak and children, the proportion of women of school age is very low.
