"Sure enough, someone is easy to do."
Early the next morning, while Hu Yunqing was still sleeping, he saw that Wei Zhongxian had arrived with all the necessary documents.
"Young master, I naturally don't dare to slack off in my affairs."
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Besides, my father has already taken care of things in the officialdom. As the saying goes, don't look at the face of the stranger, look at the face of the Buddha. Even if they are looking at the face of money, they have to do something. ”
This is naturally a joke. He, the Chief of Ceremonies, the Eunuch in Charge, the former Admiral of Dongchang, and the famous people around the emperor have all gone to Shuntian Mansion in person. As long as that person is not a fool, he will get the matter done as soon as possible. .
"Okay, since you're here, just go with me to recruit workers."
Hu Yunqing nodded, then led the people out of the door, and then took Zhu Si and others with him.
To his surprise, at this time, there were already a large number of refugees gathered outside the city. At a glance, it was extremely spectacular.
Among these disaster victims, there are even many who are strong and strong, and their status is somewhat special at first glance.
"It's really unexpected."
Looking at the scene of refugees everywhere, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but frown, "If this is the case in Kyoto, I'm afraid other places won't be much better."
When he left the city before, he was sitting in a sedan and was not aware of the scene outside. Now it seems that it is really not optimistic.
"Others are afraid of starving to death."
Hu Yunqing pondered for a moment and couldn't help but sigh and said, "You have to be clear. Once these refugees break out, they are a force that cannot be ignored. If they cannot be evacuation, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the entire Ming Dynasty."
You must know that in the late Ming Dynasty, the famous Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang were not the original rebels.
Wang Jiayin and Wu Yangui were the first to raise the banner. However, they were unlucky. In the early days of the uprising, the Ming army was still able to pay, but they were eventually killed by spies.
It was not until very later that Li Zicheng took over the banner and put forward the slogan of equalizing land and exempting taxes, which made things more difficult to handle.
And after all, if those officials hadn't pushed the blame between each other, things wouldn't have gotten out of hand.
"Sir, how many people do you need to recruit now?"
Wei Zhongxian was so unaware of Hu Yunqing's thoughts that he couldn't help but ask, "I will..."
"Not in a hurry."
Hu Yunqing shook his head when he heard this, "Let's take a look first."
He always felt that there was something strange about those strong men. Could it be that they were undercover agents from Jiannu's side?
"By the way, I told you yesterday in a hurry. I thought I had to choose a shop."
It suddenly occurred to him that although Hanjiazhuang had plenty of land and houses, his virtuous brother could not just hide in the village. He had to find a shop.
"It's so simple. I'll have someone deliver the title deed to the house tomorrow."
Wei Zhongxian didn't care. Although every inch of land in Kyoto was very valuable, he was at the feet of the emperor after all. There was no need for him to take action. He could just arrange for someone to handle it.
"OK."
Hu Yunqing didn't say much when he saw this. Anyway, his family is so easy to do.
"It's ridiculous. If I had known that this world was so difficult to mix with, I would have been better off staying in Dongjiang. I wouldn't have starved to death in this hellish place."
"What are you thinking? If you stay on Pidao, you will definitely be liquidated by Yuan Chonghuan. At least your head is still on your neck. Mr. Mao is dead, do you think we can still live in peace?"
"It's better to be slaughtered than to die of starvation! It's really a joke to tell people that the soldiers didn't die on the battlefield, but starved to death."
Just when Hu Yunqing was still thinking about how to recruit people, he suddenly saw a few people shouting at the base of the city wall with extremely excited expressions.
"Mao Wenlong was still killed by Yuan Chonghuan?"
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Although Yuan Chonghuan is indeed somewhat capable, he does not particularly agree with this matter.
After all, you must know that in Liaodong, the troops commanded by Mao Wenlong were extremely powerful. More than two hundred people could drive the Eight Banners Army everywhere.
If this guy were alive, he would also be a good fighter.
It's a pity that Yuan Chonghuan is still a bit narrow-minded.
"Is there such a thing?"
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The military reports in the past few days have not reached him, and it is estimated that they will arrive in a short time.
"Yuan Chonghuan's abilities are there, and with these big wins, he's naturally a little over the top."
Hu Yunqing was not surprised. Governor Yuan was merciless when dealing with his own family members. Of course, this was due to his narrow-mindedness.
It's a pity that Mao Wenlong is also a good hand in leading troops in war.
Although the Ming army currently occupies a certain advantage on the battlefield, if Huang Taiji can overcome the difficulties, Yuan Chonghuan may not be able to go as smoothly as now.
"I don't think the emperor will let him go easily."
Wei Zhongxian also looked a little ugly. You must know that Mao Wenlong's official position is also the commander-in-chief of Pingliao, the left governor. In terms of official position, it can be said that he is not much different from Yuan Chonghuan.
How could he kill someone if he didn't borrow Shang Fang's sword?
"The current situation in Liaodong still needs Yuan Chonghuan to stabilize it. If we can't touch him, we will pity these officers and soldiers."
Hu Yunqing shook his head. Mao Wenlong's death has become a foregone conclusion. If Yuan Chonghuan is captured at this time, Liaodong will definitely be in chaos. However, at this most important time, the general trend must not be chaotic!
"They could not die on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather, but died at the hands of their own family members."
Sure enough, they are better at dealing with their own family members.
"Just take the strong ones back first."
Hu Yunqing hasn't decided what kind of business he will do, but these officers and soldiers can still be used, at least they are strong and healthy.
Moreover, if they cause chaos, they will be much more powerful than those peasant rebels.
"Damn, I really can't live this life. Instead of staying here, it's better to go back to Pi Island."
"Yes, at least we can fight those barbarians when we go back! Are we going to starve to death here?"
"Hateful! In the final analysis, it was all those barbarians who caused this!"
For a time, these officers and soldiers were furious.
"When there is a war next time, even if no one wants us, we will go voluntarily! Kill a few more barbarians! It will be considered revenge for us."
A strong man stood up and shouted at the top of his voice.
At this moment, a caravan was suddenly seen coming out of the city.
The leaders were riding horses with extremely arrogant expressions, and they seemed to have noticed the movement here and rode over immediately.
The original refugees stood up in fright.
Only those few officers and soldiers remained unmoved.
