Fengri City, August 29th, sunny.
The continuous heavy rain finally stopped completely, and the five consecutive days of sunny weather in Fengri City swept away the previous haze. However, the water in the Baijiang River has not dropped much yet. It will take a while longer until the water level in the upper reaches drops. This side of Fengri City. However, the disaster situation is improving, and the people in the city who were affected by the disaster are slowly getting better, but they are feeling very miserable.
In fact, the results are pretty good. Xuanqingwei opened the door and gave up the school grounds as a temporary base to set up tents for the victims. The garrison behind them also followed the same example. In addition, after the seventh prince heard about the disaster, he reduced the victims' money and food as appropriate, which also gave these victims a way to live. Wait. Now that the water has subsided, I can survive for more than half a year with the help from the government and some casual labor. I can resume my life when the next villagers get up.
As for those victims who had no labor and whose homes were completely destroyed by floods, the Yamen would not tell the truth. They either sold themselves to survive or became beggars on the streets. There are too many miserable people, and the yamen can't take care of them. The Jingjiu Dynasty was not that wealthy yet.
Therefore, there are a lot of people around the soup kitchen shack recently, and the family is doing well. There are laborers at home and a husband. Even if a disaster strikes, no one will look down on them. They know that after the disaster, they can live their lives again. Those who don't have a husband or are old and weak are in trouble, and all of them are looking gloomy and don't know where they will live in the future.
But one thing is that the Jing Dynasty has been severely cracking down on the forced purchase and sale of human beings. If you dare to intimidate 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 sold the Jingjiu Dynasty, and foreigners are not included in this.
Although the charges are serious, there are some people who claim to be able to cover up the sky with one hand, and secretly always want to do these dirty deeds in secret.
In the past, even if someone knew about this kind of thing, they would just watch it with cold eyes. Even if they felt unhappy, they could only keep it in their hearts. After all, no matter how miserable others were, it was their business. What if you were upset and got angry and burned?
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 outlet in Jingxi. Even the people at the lowest level can express their grievances through report letters and copper cabinets. Passing upwards, although not everything works, is always a real hope.
In the past two days, Shen Hao has seen it several times in the daily documents sent by Wang Yiming. They were all reports of poor people who had their families destroyed and were helpless after a disaster along the Baijiang River. They were forced and coerced into slavery. , all collected from the copper cabinet.
However, it is not enough for Xuanqingwei to intervene in these matters. Unless there is proof that the local government is acting as a protective umbrella, otherwise the situation will be handed over to the local government for investigation. At most, they will follow up to understand the follow-up.
Of course, if the local government fails to act or is colluding, Xuanqingwei will still go there and help the local government clean up the door.
"Publish these things and let Tang Qingyuan and Chen Shenghaosheng study and study them. Let them come over the morning after tomorrow for a final discussion." Shen Hao handed over a rubbing copy of the "Draft of the Jingxi Black Flag Camp Commander's Yamen's Action Plan to Kill Evils" that he had compiled. Give it to Wang Yiming and let it be passed on.
This draft is already the third draft. Shen Hao has considered it several times, and also solicited the opinions of the people below, as well as some of Heishui's ideas. Now that it has basically taken shape, the day after tomorrow, Tang Qingyuan and Chen Sheng finalize the details and prepare to formally report it to the governor Jiang Cheng. This will be his second fire after taking office as the commander of the Jingxi Black Flag Camp.
"It's your lord, I'll get it done right away." After bowing, Wang Yiming handed over the copper bar he just got and said, "Sir, this is the note that was just sent over from the Zhenfu Envoy Yamen. The copy of the Southern Supervisory Envoy's Military Report is given to you."
Shen Hao took it, waved his hand to reject Wang Yiming, and then opened the copper bar. This was specially sent to him by the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen. He was the only one in the Black Flag Camp Commander's Yamen who was qualified to read it, so he checked the ban on the copper strip before opening it with his own badge.
The content was simple, but it made Shen Hao's eyes light up. It was mainly a report on the battle in Baektu Gorge that started the day before yesterday, August 27th.
According to reports from the Xuanqing Guard's supervisor stationed at the Baektu Gorge, Zuo Yuliang currently has more than 200,000 heavy troops deployed in the Baektu Gorge and has adopted a continuous offensive method. Starting from August 27, the attack has been carried out day and night. They have been on the offensive for two days, and achieved important results in last night's raid. They successfully divided up the 30,000 barbarian front line and annihilated them. In one fell swoop, they pushed the Jing army's front line forward for more than 40 miles and reached the barbarian camp in Baektu. The last line of defense in the gorge.
Shen Hao has been very interested in military affairs since he stayed in the army for half a year and even went to war. However, he also understood that he was not a general, but that did not stop him from looking at the terrain map to figure out where he thought the war situation would go.
In fact, if you have more exposure and think more, over time, you will be able to figure out some skills in many things even if you are not proficient in them.
After reading the battle report on the copper strip, he took out the army-level terrain map of the south and looked at it for a while, talking to himself and making gestures. After that, Shen Hao had a good idea of the current battle situation in the south.
Looking at the opposing positions of the two armies in Baektu Gorge and the advance of more than 40 miles mentioned in the military newspaper, it means that Zuo Yuliang's main force has now forced the barbarian forces in Baektu Gorge to the edge of the cliff.
The geographical location of Baektu Gorge is important, and the land is vast and flat. Except for the current area where the two armies are facing each other, they can barely rely on some terrain. With a little defense, it can be said to be a truly flat plain. Once the barbarians lose their last stronghold in Baektu Gorge, they will There will no longer be any place to stand.
The most important thing is that after the Baektu Gorge opened its door, the one directly pointed to by the soldiers was Sambichu, the most important and symbolic place of the Shigewol clan today. Similar to the Tianlan Imperial City of the Jingjiu Dynasty.
According to Shen Hao's understanding, once Baektu Gorge is taken, Sanbiqiu will face a situation where there is no danger to defend. According to previous intelligence, the Red Earth Clan in the south has already cooperated with the Shuangyue Clan, which means that the Barbarian Royal Court already has If the conditions are set, will the barbarians be forced to launch a final decisive battle in order to protect Sambichu and Baekdu Gorge, which are important food producing areas?
Of course, Shen Hao, a rookie who was not even half-baked, was not sure how the final battle would unfold and what it would look like in the end, but what he saw was indeed the current situation in the south.
Even Shen Hao could clearly feel that Zuo Yuliang was consciously speeding up the war process, most likely to cooperate with the "big test" in the imperial city.
