I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 283 Chapter 280: Princes and nobles

It was a secret operation to ransack the house of the chief eunuch of the supervising army, and only the soldiers of the Xinghe Army knew it well.

And Geng Da, an outsider who is not considered an outsider, understands the cause and effect.

Geng Ruqi learned about it from Geng Da's mouth.

When he first found out, Geng Ruqi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Later, it was discovered that Huang Yi had kidnapped the eunuch who supervised the army, and he, the Xuanda governor, had no constraints, and his life was much more comfortable.

He knew in his heart that the world had changed, and with a strong army in his hands, he could be informal.

The emperor's attitude towards Zu Dashou is enough to illustrate the problem.

Because at the beginning of December, the emperor gave Zu Dashou Jinjue Shaofu plus an official Zuo Dudu.

This kind of general who abandoned the emperor, abandoned the soldiers and civilians of the capital who were surrounded by the Hou Jin army, and ran back to Liaodong in a hurry, had no loyalty, integrity, and shame.

However, they are getting promoted and getting rich!
Why, the Liaodong general has the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty in his hands, and the emperor is afraid of it.

Only the army is the capital to settle down. Governor Xuanda, who is more aware of the reality, must of course spare no effort to support his son and son-in-law.

Some time ago, he really thought that Wang Kun could not be allowed to leave Xuanda's territory alive.

Later, it was discovered that Wang Kun, who had been kidnapped and taken to the army, had actually earned a good reputation for working hard and being honest and honest.

Geng Ruqi was stunned!
How can it be?

How did Huang Yi subdue that dead eunuch with eyes on his forehead?

Murdering an eunuch in the army is a serious crime that will implicate the entire family. Who would want to do this unless it is absolutely necessary?

So Geng Ruqi suggested that Wang Kun return to the capital to repay the victory, so as to confirm his glorious image of being clean and honest, courageous to do things and work tirelessly.

Thinking about it, the foolish young emperor would believe [-]% of Wang Kun's current appearance when he saw Wang Kun's current appearance, and if he had solid military skills to back him up, Wang Kun would definitely be in the emperor's heart.

The eunuchs trusted by the emperor naturally want the wind and the rain.

People carried people in flower sedan chairs, and Wang Kun, who had regained power, could only choose to knock his teeth out and swallow his blood, and he would definitely not tell the embarrassing thing about being bullied by Huang Yi.

Geng Ruqi confessed his thoughts after meeting Huang Yi.

He really regarded Huang Yi as his own, and believed that he and the Xinghe Army shared weal and woe.

After carefully listening to the old man's plan, Huang Yi smiled and said:

"My purpose of arresting Eunuch Wang and bringing him into the army was to educate him and reform him, and I didn't intend to kill him!

People like him are easy to be cheap and shameless.

But this kind of person knows how to judge the situation.

Over the past few months, my Xinghe Army should have left a deep impression on him.

He will know what to do is the wisest choice. "

The son-in-law is so domineering, Geng Ruqi is mixed, he doesn't know whether to praise or warn.

Can only sigh!
"Hey! The world is going down, people's hearts are not old!"

Huang Yi said: "That's right! Master Taishan, you have to change your thinking too. This is the end of the world, and it is no longer the time to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality..."

Where did Geng Ruqi accept this kind of statement? Before Huang Yi could finish speaking, he interrupted: "The end of the world? Why do you see it?"

"Internal troubles and foreign troubles, Wen Tian, ​​Wu, and the people don't talk about life and robbers everywhere, and the emperor is self-willed. It's a proper end-time scene!"

Geng Ruqi retorted: "I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, how can such scabies be destroyed?"

"The scabies disease? The Jian slaves have been beaten to the capital and still have the scabies disease?"

"This doesn't explain anything. Thinking about the Tumu Fortress incident, the emperor was captured by Oala. My Ming is still my Ming!"

"How many acres of land were registered in the country during the Yingzong period, and how much tax was paid into the national treasury a year?
now what?Make ends meet! "

"This……"

After all, he is a high official of one party, a high official in Xinjiang who refused to enter Beijing to serve as a court official, and has some understanding of the current situation of the country.

Huang Yi said: "Let's not worry about whether it is the end of the world. The most urgent thing is to properly arrange for those ordinary people who have been robbed of everything by the bandits!"

"Oh! There are too many people, probably more than 30!"

"It's not that the Xinghe Army sent 10,000+ troops to the outside of the customs, it must have exceeded 40."

"Can you take some more people outside the pass?"

"It is already the limit to bring another [-]. If we want to ensure that no one dies of starvation, we must find at least a dozen tribes of Tartars to eliminate them in the spring."

"Are you planning to rob the Harqin tribes of grain, cattle and sheep?"

"No way, for survival!"

Geng Ruqi fell silent.

Huang Yi asked: "Is there any food for the resettlement of refugees?"

"We can make some, but it is absolutely impossible to make 30 disaster victims survive the severe winter!"

"Shanxi Xuanda's princes, county kings, town generals and other royal families should not be too many. If they are willing to provide food, they will surely solve their urgent needs!"

"Their food? This is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger!"

"What are you afraid of? We have soldiers in our hands, and we refuse to give food, even asking for their lives!"

"Shut up nonsense!"

"Haha, it's just a joke to adjust the atmosphere, I know the severity."

Geng Ruqi also laughed, and said: "If possible, why wouldn't this old man want to rob those princes and nobles, and rob the rich and help the poor?"

"Grab, you don't dare. I suggest that you take soldiers and horses to the palace to borrow food.

If the princes refuse to borrow, you will lead tens of thousands of refugees to surround the palace. "

"Hey! That's an interesting idea."

"The 30 people are hungry, as long as some of them are unwilling to starve to death and instigate them, within three days, these refugees will become mobs and bandits.

Shanxi and Xuanda can become Shura fields.

The most urgent task is to give them a bite to eat to support them through the winter and spring plowing!
Otherwise, the 30 people who see no hope will inevitably rise up! "

This problem was imminent. Of course Geng Ruqi knew the seriousness. It was impossible to buy food because he had no money to call.

The only way to do this is to borrow food from big households and princes and nobles.

He knew that as long as he put down his face and came to visit, the big family and princes and nobles would give some more or less.

But it is absolutely impossible to relieve the 30 victims.

Only by apportioning how many stones of grain are lent to each big family, prince and noble, can we survive the food crisis.

Under the circumstances that the other party refused to lend a large amount of food, the method of organizing hungry people to surround the houses of big families and the mansions of princes and nobles must be effective.

who cares!Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

This old man is going to save 30 lives, so don't worry about his old face!

After talking with his son-in-law, Geng Ruqi, who was helpless at first, felt suddenly enlightened.

Huang Yi also remembered a very important matter, and gave Geng Ruqi another good idea.

Food can't be given to anyone for free. Relief with work is the best way.

In history, there was a great epidemic in Shanxi in the six years of Chongzhen, and later generations analyzed that it was the plague, that is, the Black Death.

So Huang Yi suggested that Geng Ruqi select 30 to [-] young and middle-aged men and women from among the [-] refugees, and organize them to exterminate rats, bury dead bodies, dredge rivers, clean ponds and wells, and clean up garbage...
