My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 86: One million refugees and one hundred thousand thieves, the situation is grim
Fenyang is not far from Taiyuan, only more than two hundred miles away. Li Tianxin and his party arrived in the morning and evening, arrived in Taiyuan City before dusk, and stayed in Li Garden.

Big Li and Xiao Li diligently took the housekeeper and helped arrange food and accommodation. Although Li Garden was not as big as Zhu's Mansion, it was not much smaller. It was more than enough to accommodate more than 400 people.

As the saying goes, three years to clear the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, not to mention the Minister of Household Affairs who is responsible for money, food and taxes.

Although Li Haowen was not considered a corrupt official, if he was said to have clean hands and every tael of money he earned was clean, even Big Li and Xiao Li themselves would not believe it.

In this position, there are many people rushing to send money. He can refuse some money, but there is some money that he cannot refuse at all, and it will not work even if he does not accept it.

At present, the Li family has produced five Jinshi. In other words, the Li family has been officials for almost generations, which is the so-called scholarly family and a family of officials.

Although not every generation can reach a position as high as a minister, after so many generations, the wealth of the family is extremely rich.

However, among the five Jinshi in the Li family, only Li Haowen got the third highest rank in the examination. Therefore, there is no couplet written by the emperor in front of Li Yuan Gate today.

As the Minister of Household Affairs, Lao Li lived in the capital with his wife for a long time. When Li and Li were still young, they also lived with their parents. It had been less than a year since they returned to their hometown.

It is now late June, and summer is about to end. Da Li will soon take the Qiuwei Township Examination, and Li Xunhuan is also preparing to take the college exam. Both are in mid-August, less than two months ago.

That's why Lao Li asked the brothers to return to their hometown to concentrate on studying and at the same time make it easier for them to take exams.

The college examinations are usually held in the temporary examination rooms of the academic circuit of each prefecture and county, while the examination rooms of the rural examinations are in Gongyuan of each province.

The administrative seat of the Shanxi Provincial Government is Taiyuan, where Gongyuan is located.

Li Wenliu is a local candidate, so it is much more convenient to stay in his hometown. He does not need to travel far and wide to take the exam like students from other prefectures and counties.

……

After dinner, night had fallen, and Li Tianxin and the others were enjoying the cool breeze in the plum grove of Li Garden.

At this time, the plum blossoms have just formed buds, and the leaves have become curled and listless. Li Wenliu invited everyone to come here to enjoy the plum blossoms in winter, and everyone happily agreed.

Li Xunhuan took the opportunity to ask the masters for martial arts advice, and everyone was generous in giving him advice. He answered all questions and solved any doubts.

Wang Lianhua seems to be very close to Li Xunhuan. He has learned a lot and is also very knowledgeable in concealed weapons. Some of his experiences will be of great benefit to Li Xunhuan.

It is no wonder that in the original work, before Wang Lianhua prepared to go to sea with Shen Lang, Panda'er and others, she chose to hand over the "Lianhua Treasure Book" she owned to Li Xunhuan.

Originally, in this world, Wang Lianhua's fate was completely different from that in the original work.

But because of the existence of Li Tianxin, his fate was completely reversed, and he gradually returned to the trajectory of the original work, even better than the fate of the original work.

While everyone was talking and laughing, the concierge suddenly came to report that it was a waiter from Daguanlou who had sent a letter to Master Tianxin.

Li Tianxin immediately knew that Daguan Tower was Sunjiabao's property, and most prefectures and counties had chain stores.

On the surface, it is a chain restaurant that integrates bookstores and restaurants, but secretly it is Sunjiabao's intelligence station.

Among the contact points given to him by Sun Dahai, the Grand View Tower occupies most of them.

Li Tianxin took the letter from the concierge and opened it to look at it. Bai Feifei and Zhu Qiqi, one from the side and the other from behind, leaned over to read the letter.

After reading what was written in the letter, Zhu Qiqi looked shocked, and Bai Feifei couldn't help but frown and looked at Li Tianxin worriedly.

Shen Lang asked: "How is it? Is it information about bandits?"

Li Tianxin handed him the letter and said to the others solemnly: "The situation is a bit serious. I didn't expect that there were more than [-] bandits near the capital." "And across the country, there are millions of refugees, among whom are There are so many bandits that it can no longer be called banditry, but clearly a rebellion."

After Shen Lang read the letter, he sent it to Wang Lianhua.

He frowned and said: "Although there are more than [-] bandits near the capital, they are divided into dozens of groups. Each group is still annexing each other. The largest group among them only has more than [-] people, which is not enough to cause trouble."

"But over in Huguang, a large force of 7 to [-] people has appeared, and they have clearly raised their flags to rebel. The pressure on the southern martial arts community is great."

In the Huguang and Jingxiang areas, martial arts master "Liu Qianjin" Liu Tong led his people to rise up, with "Stone Monk" Shi Long as the mastermind, and "Li Beard" Li Yuan, Feng Zilong, Miao Long, Miao Hu and other masters as their wings, gathering several Thousands of bandits occupied Haixi Temple and became king. The founding name was "Han" and the founding name was "Desheng".

Most of the troops in Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Dengzhou and other places were sent to Ningxia to attack the Maoli children. They were unable to resist the bandits and had been looted.

They are not those fastidious people in Green Forest Road. No matter who you are, those who have money will rob money, those who have food will rob food, and those who have women will rob women.

Zhu Ji's property in the Jingxiang area was also looted, with direct losses as high as tens of millions of taels, and indirect losses that were incalculable.

A friend named He Shen from later generations was right when he said that refugees are not human beings.

When they become bandits, who cares whether you are a good person or not, and whether you have been kind to you? If you have money and food, it is your original sin. There is no negotiation for robbing you.

Liu Tong knew that they were just a ragtag group and could not hold on after taking the city, so they just left after grabbing the city, and the refugees turned into bandits.

Due to his successive successes, Liu Tong's team became more prestigious, with an endless stream of defectors, and the team grew stronger.

Wang Lianhua said solemnly: "It seems that we have to act as soon as possible to quickly eliminate the bandits near the capital and go to Huguang for support."

"These bandits are distributed within two to three hundred miles from the capital. They are currently relatively scattered and relatively easy to deal with. However, if they merge together, they may endanger the capital."

Wang Zhi said: "It is not a danger to the capital. In the first half of the year, the three major battalions of the capital have been successfully reorganized into [-] regiments and battalions. After several months of training, they have achieved a certain level of combat effectiveness and are more than enough to guard the capital."

"If the bandits don't go to the capital to fight back, they will be seeking death if they go there. However, what Brother Lianhua said is right. We must deal with the bandits in the capital as soon as possible and support the southern martial arts. Otherwise, things will change if we wait too long."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. The longer time passes, Liu Tong's power will snowball, growing stronger and harder to deal with.

Li Tianxin said: "Currently the largest group of bandits is in Hejian Mansion. Let's attack this group of bandits first and deal with them. The other bandits will be much easier."

"Before I set off, Uncle Leng has sent a message from the flying pigeon. The northern martial arts people will gather in Zhengding Mansion to deal with the more than ten thousand bandits. They should be able to capture them easily."

"Everyone, get some rest early tonight and set out early tomorrow morning."

The rogue bandits are just a bunch of rabble, they don't know how to coordinate the battle formation, and they don't have any good weapons and equipment. They just rely on the number of people.

It is not difficult for a team composed of martial arts masters to deal with them.

The real difficulty lies in how to resettle the many refugees after defeating the bandits.

However, this matter does not need to be a headache for people like them in the martial arts world. It will be solved by the local government and the health department.

The Ming Dynasty was seriously short of troops, so it was just right to send these refugees into the army.

If the national treasury is empty, this approach will naturally be unreliable, but today's Ming Dynasty is really not short of money and food, but it is short of soldiers.

Otherwise, Zhu Jianshen would not ask Li Tianxin for help.
