Chapter 777
Sealing the Sun City, August 29th, sunny.
The continuous heavy rain finally stopped completely, and the five days of sunny days in Fengri City swept away the previous haze, but the water in the Baijiang River has not dropped much, and it will take a little longer until the upstream water level drops. Here in Fengri City. However, the disaster situation is getting better, and the affected people in the city are slowly recovering, but they feel very bitter.
In fact, the result has been considered good. Xuan Qingwei opened his mouth and gave up the school grounds as a temporary resident to set up tents for the victims. The guards at the back also followed suit. In addition, the Seventh Prince reduced or exempted the victims from the shortage of money and food as appropriate after hearing about the disaster. When the water receded, the relief provided by the yamen and the casual laborers could survive for more than half a year, and they would be able to resume their lives when the next generation of dealers got up.
As for those victims who have no labor and whose homes have been completely destroyed by the flood, the Yamen will not know the bottom line. They either sell themselves to survive, or become beggars on the street. There are too many miserable people, and the yamen can't handle it. Jing Jiu Dynasty was not that rich yet.
So there are a lot of people around the porridge shed recently, and it’s good to have a family with a family. There are laborers and husbands in the family. Those who don't have a man's family or are old and weak are very troublesome, and they probably don't know where they will live in the future.
But there is one thing, that is, the old Jing Dynasty has always cracked down on the forced buying and selling of human beings. If you dare to threaten and coerce others into slavery, once you are sued, it will be a serious crime. Of course, this law is aimed at the people who trafficked in the old Jing Dynasty, and foreigners are not included.
Although the charges are serious, there are also some people who claim to be able to cover the sky with their hands, and they always want to hide the sky and do these dirty things secretly.
In the past, even if someone knew about this kind of thing, they would just watch it coldly. Even if they felt injustice, they could only hold it in their hearts. After all, no matter how miserable others are, it is their fault.
It's different now. The copper cabinets set up by the Black Flag Camp in various cities are still there, and have even become a very useful channel for venting in the Jingxi area. Passing up, while not everything works, is always a real hope.
In the past two days, Shen Hao has seen several times in the daily documents sent by Wang Yiming. They are all reported cases of poor people with their homes broken and helpless after the disaster along the Baijiang River, who were forced and coerced into slavery. , all collected from copper cabinets.
However, these matters are not enough for Xuan Qingwei to intervene, unless it is proved that the local government is acting as a protective umbrella inside, otherwise it is just to transfer the situation to the local government for investigation, at most follow up to understand the follow-up.
Of course, if the local yamen didn't do anything, or if they were colluding, Xuan Qingwei would still take the knife to help the local yamen clean up the door.
"Distribute these things, let Tang Qingyuan and Chen Shenghao study and study, and let them come over the next morning for a final discussion." Shen Hao handed over the rubbings of the "Jingxi Black Banner Commander Yamen Action Plan to Suppress Evil" that he had sorted out. Give it to Wang Yiming and let him pass it on.
This draft is already the third draft. Shen Hao has considered it several times by himself, and also solicited the opinions of the people below, as well as some ideas of Heishui. Now it has basically taken shape, and after the day after tomorrow, Tang Qingyuan and Chen Sheng finalize the details, they are going to report it to the governor Jiang Cheng. This will be his second fire after he took office as the commander of the Jingxi Black Banner Battalion.
"It's my lord, I'll do it right away." After bowing, Wang Yiming handed over the copper bar he just got, and said, "My lord, this is the note I just sent over, it's from the governor's yamen." CC'd Southern Inspector Military News, for you."
Shen Hao took it, waved his hand to push Wang Yiming back, and then opened the copper bar. This was specially copied to him by the governor's yamen of Jingxi Township, and he was the only one who was qualified to read it in the yamen of the commander of the Black Banner Battalion, so he opened it with his own waist badge after checking the ban on the copper bar.
The content was simple, but it made Shen Hao's eyes shine. It was mainly to report the battle in Baitou Gorge that started the day before yesterday, that is, August 27th.
According to the report of Xuanqing Guard's supervisor stationed in the front line of Baitouxia, Zuo Yuliang has deployed more than 200,000 heavy troops in Baitouxia, and has adopted continuous offensive methods. The offensive lasted for two days, and achieved important results in the raid last night. It successfully divided and annihilated the 30,000 barbarian lineup, and pushed the Jing army forward for more than 40 miles in one fell swoop. The last fortification of the gorge.
Since Shen Hao stayed in the army for half a year and went to battle, he became very interested in military affairs. However, he also understands that he is not expected to be a general, but it does not prevent him from thinking about the direction of the battle in front of the topographic map.
In fact, with a lot of contact and thinking, after a long time, I can figure out some ways even if I am not proficient in many things.
After reading the battle report on the copper bar, he took out the army-level topographic map in the south, looked at it for a while, talked to himself and made gestures, and then Shen Hao had a good idea of the current battle situation in the south.
Judging from the positions of the two armies in Baitouxia, and the advance of more than forty miles in the military newspaper, it means that Zuo Yuliang's main force has now pushed the barbarian forces in Baitouxia to the edge of the cliff.
The geographical location of Baitou Gorge is important, and the land is wide and flat. Except for the area where the two armies are currently facing each other, they can barely rely on some terrain and defend it a little. In the future, it can be said that it will be truly flat. Once the barbarians lose their last stronghold in Baitou Gorge, then they will There will be no more ground to stand on.
And the most important thing is that after the opening of the gate of Baitou Gorge, the place directly pointed by Bingfeng is Sangbiqiu, the most important and symbolic place of the Frost Moon Clan. Similar to Tianlan Imperial City in the old Jing Dynasty.
According to Shen Hao's understanding, once Baitou Gorge is captured, Sangbiqiu will face no danger to defend. According to previous information, the Hongtu clan in the south has already cooperated with the Shuangyue clan, which means that the barbarian royal court already has Will the barbarians be forced to wage a decisive battle in order to keep the important food producing areas of Sangbiqiu and Baitou Gorge?
Of course, how the final battle will unfold and what it will look like in the end, Shen Hao, a rookie who can't even be considered half-watered, can't be sure, but these things he can see are indeed the current situation in the south.
Even Shen Hao could clearly feel that Zuo Yuliang was consciously speeding up the progress of the war, most likely to cooperate with the "big test" in the imperial city.
