Chapter 633 Help

Seeing this, Zhao Ju quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Mr. Ming, why are you back again? This place is not completely safe yet. Please follow the escort and return to the Yuzhou garrison immediately."

Ming Yu looked forward and saw that there were still three people alive from the Yuzhou Army, so he said to Zhao Ju: "We were careful along the way. We don't know how our whereabouts were leaked. They laid an ambush here in advance. I'm afraid they have sent a message back to the military camp."

When Zhao Ju heard this, he immediately counted and found that there were only eighteen of them. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped forward and asked, "How did you know that the convoy was passing here?"

The soldiers were not killed, it was equivalent to being captured. They did not have the moral integrity to be loyal to someone, so they said directly: "We found it ourselves."

He said: "We changed the patrol time and arrived early this morning. We saw them from a high place as soon as they left the village, so we sent people back to notify the military camp while laying an ambush here."

The soldier complained a little, "There are farmlands along the way, and there is no shelter. Otherwise, we would not choose to set up an ambush in this small forest. It is too close to the border."

But they were not afraid. They also thought that the eighteen of them could beat the ten on the other side. If not, they would just cross over. They often crossed the border anyway.

How did they know that there was someone coming to meet them on the other side, and that they were coming so quickly.

Zhao Ju's expression changed when he heard that he had seen them himself and that he had seen them as soon as the team left the village.

Ming Yu raised his eyelids, glanced at him calmly, and said in a deep voice: "So, the Yanzhou Army already knows that we came here on the same road as the villagers?"

Zhao Ju pursed his lips, turned around and said to Ming Yue: "Mr. Ming, please get in the car and leave quickly. It's dangerous here."

Ming Yu didn't move, but looked worriedly in the direction of the village.

Zhao Ju's heart tightened and he was a little anxious. He thought for a moment and said: "I will take people to move them here."

Ming Yu frowned, "Migrate?"

"Yes," Zhao Ju said, "If Gou Chun knew that the convoy borrowed the road from the village, no one in the village would survive."

He asked: "How many villages are there ahead?"

"Three, all very small," Ming Yu said: "The farthest one is nine miles away."

It's not very far, and we can arrive quickly on horseback, but the migration requires dragging the family with them, and they don't have carriages and horses. Such a migration is very time-consuming and cannot be completed before the reinforcements arrive.

Zhao Ju squinted his eyes, remembering that Gou Chun had sent troops to rush to their side some time ago. He only stole some food and injured no one, but no one died.

But the people of Yanzhou on this side of the border were not so lucky.

As for Gou Chun's actions in this area, I am afraid that even the officials in Yanzhou do not understand him. With Gou Chun's character, if he knew that the villagers did not report what they knew, he would definitely massacre the village.

Thoughts flashed by, and Zhao Ju became more determined. He arranged: "Chang You, you take ten people and Quan Wu to escort Mr. Ming back to the camp, take Yuan Li and the others with you, and order Gaoyi to order two thousand soldiers." The horse will come to meet me, and the rest of the people will wait and follow me to relocate the people."

Everyone clasped their fists and responded, "Yes!"

Ming Yu didn't say anything more this time. He bowed to Zhao Ju and then turned around and got into the car. This time, he asked the two people who were most seriously injured to get in the car together.

Zhao Ju got on his horse and said to them: "I will go to the village nine miles away. You two will form a team and stop in the other two villages to persuade them to migrate. All treatment will be the same as that of the lowest craftsmen."

If you do something more, you will continue to improve and improve it, making it develop in a direction that is more beneficial to yourself and the situation.

Therefore, Zhao Hanzhang's current treatment of refugees is also divided into three, six or nine levels.

Ordinary refugees are given food relief for a certain period of time, a place is arranged for them to stay, and the land is allocated, and then they start to work for relief, build their own houses, and cultivate fields...

These are accounted for first, and they can pay them back later when the land has yields.

Oh, in order to encourage production, newly settled refugees are exempted from taxes for the first year. Therefore, although the refugees live in newly built houses and need to keep accounts when applying for fabrics with the yamen, they still feel that they are well treated.

But there are exceptions, that is, for special talents, the houses they settle in do not need to be accounted for, and the yamen will provide them free of charge.

The lowest-level craftsmen are treated like this. If the craftsmanship is more refined, they are rated as high-level craftsmen, or they are knowledgeable scholars, and they settle down, they will not only have a house, but also cloth, food, and even money to settle down.

Of course, such a request is quite high, and currently few people can obtain it.

The guards are all familiar with these conditions. After all, they often help the yamen to settle the refugees, and then select suitable ones to join the army.

They were divided into four groups, and one group was going to keep an eye on Yanzhou's reinforcements to give them an advance warning.

The three teams immediately set off together and arrived at the first village after a while. Only two riders stopped here, and the two teams continued to move forward without stopping.

The villagers could not pretend not to hear the lively sound of horse hooves, so some people secretly looked outside. As they watched, someone noticed something was wrong, "It doesn't look like the Yanzhou Army."

Two guards had already entered the village on horseback and shouted directly: "Where is the village chief? We are waiting for the Yuzhou Army on the opposite side. The carriage that left here this morning was our relatives and friends from Yuzhou, but it was discovered by the Yanzhou Army when it left the village. Already..."

As soon as the words came out, the villagers were shocked. Someone immediately pushed open the fence door, widened his eyes and said, "It's not us who snitched, you don't want to falsely accuse us."

The guard paused for a moment before regaining his rhythm, "I didn't say you were the one who snitched. They saw it themselves. At this time, the Yanzhou Army had been killed."

"Then why did you come to us? You just ran away."

Seeing that they had not thought of the danger, the guards couldn't help but said: "Of course we can run away, but what will you do?"

The villagers reacted belatedly, their eyes widened, yes, what should they do?

An old man sat down on the ground, slapping his thighs in his yard and crying, "Damn it, there is no way to survive, Gou Chun will kill us!"

A young man ran into the house, took a fork and went out: "If they dare to come and kill, we will support them. If we can kill one by one, who is afraid of whom?"

But young people can kill enemies, but what about old people, children and women?

The village was filled with howls. The village chief, who had been hiding, finally ran out and asked the two of them, "Is the military master here just to inform us, or is there any other way to help us?"

Many of them were somewhat resentful and felt that it was not good for them to go anywhere and they had to pass through their village.

Just let it pass, and it was discovered.

The guard immediately said: "Our general has a way to save your lives, but I don't know if you are willing."

See you tonight
