Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 332 The Hard-pressed Xining Mansion

After closing the wall, Li Wei frowned as he watched the door slowly open under his command, and the troops of the Pingwa Army began to enter the city one after another.

Seeing this, Peng Li asked, "General, the imperial decree of Bianjing clearly stated that there were [-] flat Japanese troops, and the imperial court only borrowed [-] soldiers from King Yun.

Now that we have sent [-] soldiers and horses into the pass, will the imperial court..."

Li Wei shook his head, and said helplessly: "Then what can we do? People always say that they are auxiliary soldiers. I have always had the habit of bringing auxiliary soldiers when I go to the army. Without auxiliary soldiers, I am a civilian.

Sometimes there are more auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands than regular soldiers. People say that they are auxiliary soldiers, and they are in compliance with regulations. What can we do? "

"But those ten thousand Tatars are clearly..."

Peng Li was about to say something, but Li Wei raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay, don't say too much, what do we do with the order given by the imperial court? As long as they can come up with a reason, we can also deal with the above, and let the officials and masters in the court think about the rest. , has nothing to do with us.

Let's go, let's go down and meet Li Dingguo, the commander of the Pingwa Army.

I can see that he is not very old, but I didn't expect that he has already led thousands of people under the command of King Yun. I don't know if he is really capable or just a fool? "

After Li Wei finished speaking, he immediately walked down the tower. Peng Li stood there, his eyes flashed, and he followed quickly.

As soon as the two came down from the city tower, they saw Li Dingguo who was quietly waiting by the city gate at a glance. Obviously, the other party had already guessed that they would come to him, so they waited here beforehand.

"Hahaha, General Li has been waiting for a long time, I have been waiting for a long time, Li Wei, the guard at the lower Liaoyun pass, just now did as usual, so don't take offense!"

After a while, Li Weidang took the lead and introduced himself.

Li Dingguo looked aside, and Peng Li immediately cupped his hands and said, "Peng Li, Lieutenant General of Liaoyun Pass! I have seen General Li!"

Li Dingguo immediately bowed his hands in return and said to the two: "Li asked about the name of the general guarding the Liaoyun pass earlier, and seeing General Li today really deserves his reputation!"

"really?"

"nature!"

Li Dingguo is not that kind of character who doesn't know how to adapt.

Soon they chatted with Li Wei and others, until late at night, when Li Dingguo left from Li Wei's residence, he gave up.

As soon as Li Dingguo left, the two people who were still drunk just now woke up. Looking at the direction Li Dingguo left, Peng Li said, "General, how are you?"

Li Wei sighed and said, "I don't know where His Royal Highness King Yun got his talents.

From my communication with him before, I could already tell that this was Ye Luzi who spoke.

He has not received systematic military general education, but he has his own set of military tactics in his words, and he has long since gone out of his own way without sticking to the form.

From this point of view, it is a good thing that there is no systematic learning and alignment. "

After speaking, Li Wei couldn't help but sighed again: "It's a pity that such a talent fell into the hands of King Yun. How great would it be if he could serve the court?"

Seeing the pity-looking Li Wei, Peng Li curled his lips secretly:

"If it was on the court's side, Li Dingguo like this would not be able to get ahead at all.

Without family and background, how could a mere commoner be able to enjoy the shade under the big Song tree now, and now the places under the big tree are crowded, and no one is willing to give up. "

"Unfortunately, unfortunately..."

Li Wei shook his head and sighed again, then went back to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, after a night of rest, after replenishing some supplies at the Liaoyun pass, Li Dingguo continued on the road with the Pingwa army.

Now that spring has begun, I am afraid that there will be many things encountered on the road. If you can hurry up on the road on weekdays, try to hurry up as much as possible, so that you can reach northern Jiangsu as soon as possible.

The army's marching route had already been sent by the imperial court. After entering the customs from Liaobei County, they directly detoured through Gaodong County, and finally passed through the entire Gaodong County to Xu County, the northernmost part of Subei County, and entered Subei.

The subsequent Pingwa matters will be decided by the general of the Pingwa army.

Therefore, after entering the customs, the Pingwa army will not stay in Liaobei County for too long this time. They will stay in a city in Liaobei County for one night at most and then go directly to Gaodong County.

On the marching map, the next target city of the army is Xining City, the capital of Xining Prefecture in Liaobei County.

Looking away from the marching map and identifying the direction, Li Dingguo arrived at the front of the army and headed towards Xining Mansion with more than 2 people.

The journey is about one day away, if it is slow, it may take longer.

At this time, Xining Mansion is quite different from usual.

In the former Xining Prefecture, although the population in the prefecture city was not large, there were still [-] to [-] people, which can be said to be a city with a medium population in the surrounding prefectures.

But since the former prefect Ma Deng and the visiting delegation from Yunzhou County started trading, everything has changed.

Originally, there was a severe drought in the mansion, most of the people in the mansion could not eat, and there were many refugees.

Ma Denghe was unable to settle these refugees, just when the visiting group from Yunzhou County came and hinted that they could do population transactions, it happened to scratch Ma Denghe's heart immediately.

The transaction was agreed immediately.

What he didn't expect was that it was easy to agree to the deal, but not so easy to stop it.

Originally, batches of thousands of people were conducting transactions, and they quickly helped Madden and took away the unstable factors in Fucheng.

Let Yunzhou County get the population it wants, let the refugees have a way to live, and let themselves also ensure the stability of Xining Prefecture.

Everything is so harmonious, so beautiful.

But soon, some gentry came to complain to him, telling him to stop selling people out, because no one has planted their land!
It turned out that at first these landlords and gentry saw the natural disaster, instead of being afraid, they were pleasantly surprised.

Like them, the family has food in stock, it's just a natural disaster, so they don't panic at all.

It is the ordinary people who should panic because they don't have much food in their homes.

On weekdays, these muddy legs cover the ground tightly, and he won't sell it no matter how much money you pay.

When this natural disaster comes, in order to survive, even if you lower the money, he will rush to sell it to you, and they will be able to smoothly carry out the land acquisition.

After the land of these mud legs is collected, they are also collected and let them be tenants for themselves and cultivate the land for themselves, so that they can expand their industries and manpower.

But this year is different, they just bought the land from those mud legs, only to find that the mud legs were "sold" by their lord!

This has also led to the fact that although they have collected a lot of new land, there is no one to plant it, so they can only waste it somewhere.

At first they didn't pay much attention to it, they sold it as soon as they sold it. There is not much in this year, but there are many refugees, just go out and find a lot of tenants.

But what they didn't expect was that when they went out to search, they realized that they couldn't even find a beggar, let alone a refugee!
Apart from these landlords and rich peasants with considerable assets in their families, there is no one in the ten miles and eight villages!

Those skinny mud-legged people struggling to survive and the beggars who huddled in the corners of the streets and alleys all day were all gone.

After inquiring about it, I found out that it was all packed and sold out by their lord!

Now the gentry panicked, and hurriedly sent people to the mansion to ask the mansion to stop selling it.

But they were already late, and they didn't find out until Ma Denghe realized it.

In the entire Xining Mansion and even the surrounding villages and towns, almost ten rooms are empty.

Everyone was taken away by Yunzhou County, and he was left with Xining Mansion, which seemed like a ghost town.

Now he was dumbfounded!

He hurriedly sent people to chase the people who wanted to go back to their mansion, but they were told that those people had already left the customs, and they had settled down in Yunzhou County and were unwilling to come back.

In this way, the entire Xining Mansion suddenly became a prefecture with a population of no more than 5000 people from a middle-level mansion with a population that can be ranked in the entire northern Liaoning.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it directly as a vast land and sparsely populated.

The landowners and gentry in the countryside had no choice but to roll up their sleeves and work on the land in order not to let the land be idle.

But how could they have done such things when their ten fingers were not in the sun on weekdays?

If they hadn't been engaged in such a laborious human transaction, would they be able to go to the land in person?

The tenants had long since finished the work.

How can they be a powerful gentry now, they are clearly not as good as ordinary landlords.

Fortunately, news came soon that Xining Mansion was not the only ones who encountered this kind of situation. I don't know how many places in Liaobei County, large and small, have become like this.

There were at least hundreds of landlords and gentry who had the same experience as them.

With this comparison, they suddenly found that there were other people suffering with them, and they felt a lot more comfortable, and they didn't know what it was!
