Due to limited transportation capacity, the Dinghai navy's fleet could only free up empty ships to transport people after unloading grain to Tongzhou. Considering the repeated nuisance of the black army, the number of soldiers on board the ship often needs to exceed 500 to ensure safety. However, as a result, the space vacated becomes increasingly limited, and the number of civilians on the return journey will not exceed 500 at each transfer. .
Chen Ran was personally responsible for several transfers.
On this trip, he was still sitting on the side of the boat, watching many young and old carrying simple luggage as they came out of the south gate of Tongzhou City. The first group of people were already waiting to board the boat by the river, and there were still family members behind them. Reluctant to say goodbye.
There was an old man wearing a green cross-collared robe and holding a wooden stick. He was unable to walk, and he was surrounded by several women and children. When he saw the ship, he was stunned for a moment, and then said to a Tongzhou general next to him: "Where do you want me to wait? Why didn't anyone report it? Why didn't I know?"
The general was busy handing over to General Ding Haijun, looking very impatient.
The old man shouted twice, but when no one paid attention, and he didn't know what kind of arrogance it aroused, he actually pushed away the left and right people and hit the general with a wooden stick: "I'm asking you a question! I am planning with Lu Hu Tu Meng An Ke La Miao Damn it! You guys, how dare you despise me?"
"That bitch is really looking for death!" The general's expression changed.
The regular soldier next to him waved his whip and hit the old man hard on the face: "If I tell you to leave, leave quickly. What nonsense are you talking about!"
The old man's face was torn and covered with blood. He screamed twice in pain before jumping violently. He was pressed on the ground by the people next to him, pressing his head and feet.
The general was still unhappy and said with a sneer: "He Luhu and Tu Meng'an? Can you assassinate the enemy? Can you kill the enemy in a battle? A mere empty-headed plotter in the defense army camp needs to rely on us to use knives to save his life. How can he get up and down? How dare you stand upright when you see me, the majestic ruler?"
These words were purely for show of prestige. The twenty or thirty people around the old man woke up quickly and knelt down in a hurry. Then many people in the back watched the people in front kneel down, and they all knelt down without knowing why.
This port has not been maintained for a long time. After the river swelled, the ground was very muddy. These people were kneeling on the ground, their knees and the hems of their robes were extremely dirty. The soldiers of the navy stomped impatiently in the mud and shouted one by one: "Get up! What a waste of time! Get on the ship quickly!"
This ferocious tone made the people even more frightened. Many people hurriedly bit their heads and stained their foreheads, faces, and necks, as if they had just rolled in the mud. The Dinghai soldiers cursed and had to pull them up.
On the contrary, Wanyan Chenghui's general didn't care at all. After glancing at everyone, he turned his horse and headed towards the fleet.
The officers and soldiers on board the navy were all silent as they watched this scene.
Many people recall the scene when their hometown and relatives were tortured by the Jurchens when they were young. They also recall the majesty of Meng'an Mouke and Zhenfang Thousand Households that spread all over the military prefectures at that time, ravaging the people wantonly and committing lawlessness. At that time, how many Jurchens were like wolves and tigers, treating the common people like dogs and sheep, but no one expected that this would be the Jurchens' final glory.
Since the Meng'an Mukke system was abolished, the status of Jurchen leaders at the grassroots level has continued to decline, and no matter what methods the court uses, it cannot be stopped. Their harsh behavior at the local level is nothing more than their instinct to seek compensation economically after becoming politically and militarily weak.
After the wars in the past few years, the imperial court and generals from various places each granted officials and made wishes, creating a large number of governors and governors. They are the upstarts who control violence, and the vast majority of Jurchens, like those in front of them, have no power.
Among the people who were transported to Liaodong this time, there were probably many Jurchens. But the moment they set foot on Dinghaijun's land, they were just ordinary people under Guo Xuanshi's command, and there were no Jurchens anymore!
The capital commander came closer and said to Chen Ran: "There are more than 600 people in this group. Counting the previous two groups, there are a total of 2,000 people. They are all handed over to you. I still have tens of thousands of people here. , you have to bring more food, otherwise they will starve to death sooner or later!"
Just now, he was speaking in front of the Jurchens' conspirator Po Jin, using his position as the governor of his family, but he did not dare to be rude to Chen Ran, the ruler.
Chen Ran nodded without being humble or arrogant: "I will find a way."
"You still think carefully about the navy..." Nadutong said with some envy: "These ships have been prepared a long time ago, right?"
"Our navy is not as good as your emperor's. We have to do some maritime business to raise an army." Chen Ran laughed and said a few words.
The commander-in-chief hesitated for a moment and then asked: "I heard that your envoy Guo Xuan also divided the fields among the soldiers and civilians under his rule?"
"Yes. Each military household has one hundred acres. There are also Yin households... To be honest, Yin households have less land for the time being."
"Ahem..."
Nadu Tong coughed twice, stood next to the side of the ship, put his feet up, and came close to Chen Ran: "Chen Qianjie, I have a friend who wants to defect to Ding Haijun with his family and a few people. However, It is best not to go to Liaodong, but to Shandong..."
Chen Ran immediately said: "Next time you come to the ship, come to me directly. I don't dare to talk about wealth. There is no problem with a hundred acres of land."
Dutong's brows were filled with joy: "Okay, okay! Chen Qianjie, the next time I dispatch people, I will give more to the strong men! More to the Han'er!"
The words of the two people only escaped Jin Jun.
When the generals left in a hurry, almost all the Dinghai officers on the ship showed proud expressions. In the past six months, more and more soldiers have felt that Ding Haijun and Daikin are two completely different styles.
Although some people benefited from it, they failed to understand this difference. When they came into contact with the outside world, especially when they saw Zhongdu under the eyes of the Emperor of Jin, this difference could not be more clear.
The soldiers had a hard time. They had also fled and witnessed a large number of people dying of illness or starvation, or being killed by pursuing soldiers. Those who were lucky enough to escape fell into the hands of Wanyan Sala or Huang Laowudian, and their lives were not as good as those of pigs and dogs; even if they were taken in by the Red Coat Army... the men of the Red Coat Army were really mixed, some were very nice to the people, and some were rough. . However, most of the people who were kind to the common people were extremely poor. Following them, everyone had insufficient food and clothing.
Fortunately, Ding Haijun swept them all away and brought a new order.
As a member of this new order, others' envy of the new order is equivalent to their envy of them. As a result, everyone was extremely proud and even filled with joy.
Half an hour later, the fleet set off.
Neither the Tongzhou garrison nor the Dinghai navy noticed that Genghis Khan, with a large number of his subordinates and guards, immediately stood on the lonely mountain east of the city.
Mu Huali halted the war horse at a low place in front of Genghis Khan, looked around at the crowd, and said solemnly: "Thanks to Shi Tianying, who has as sharp ears as a weasel and as sharp eyes as an ermine. It was he who discovered the traces of Ding Haijun. , and found out their movements. So, the others are also subordinates of the Great Khan, what have you seen in the past few days? "
