Chapter 118 Give this Miles-1
The front deck of the building ship, the navy officers lined up in two rows, and Zhao Xingde was in charge of the position of commander, looking down at the person who was punished in front of the hall. [Just find the novel material]
Jin Sai was originally a thief from the north, and could not stand firm after invading the Liao people. Later, he fled in the Huaibei area and fought several battles with the Liao army. After Yelu Dashi retreated to Hebei, various Liao troops returned north and the Song Dynasty took advantage of the situation to send Liu Guangshi to gather all the troops to establish the Huaixi camp and followed the Liao army to recover the two routes in Huainan. The troops of the Huaixi camp were of varying quality. Jin Sai dared to fight. After he defected to Liu Guangshi, Liu Guangshi appointed him as the commander of the Huaixi army and gradually relied on his right-hand man. When Han Shizhong's troops were transferred north, due to insufficient troops, the court asked Liu Guangshi to take over some prefectures and counties in Huainan. Jin Sai led his troops to Yangzhou, a major town in Jiangzuo.
Zhao Xingde squinted his eyes and looked at the people in front of the hall. After Jin Sai was guilty, he did not dare to speak again. After being guilty, he curled up on the ground and did not dare to raise his body. Even trembled slightly. "I heard that Jin Sai was arrogant and domineering in the army to save the people. If he doesn't know what to do today, he can use him first. The law shocked the arrogant soldiers and generals in Huaixi and then talked to Liu Guangshi." Zhao Xingde thought to himself, "This person can actually do a small fuku and kill rashly, but he will be indecent. Just scold him first to observe the results."
After Zhao Xingde made a decision, he coughed lightly and said, "Do you know your guilt in Jin Sai?"
"The last general is aware of the crime" Jin Sai's whole body trembled and his head was buried lowered. "Zhao Jieshuai was punished."
"You are in charge of Liu Jieshuai's life. I will not be able to manage you. But today I will not care about you. Now I will give you two ways. First, I will tie you up and send you to Luzhou. You will punish Liu Jieshuai for guilt and punish him. The second book will see that you throw copper coins into the water and lure the beggar into the water to salvage it. The intention is to be punished. But after all, you have a good intention. Since this is the case, Yangzhou is full of devastation. You pay 30,000 yuan to atone for your sins and buy rice and clothes to help the people. They will also accumulate some virtues. Which one do you choose?"
"I am willing to pay for my sins!" Jin Sai said immediately, "Shishou Zhao Jie is magnanimous and thanks the general for not killing him."
"Who can be without faults? It can be changed to great good! For example, when Zhou Chu of the Jin Dynasty was young, he later repented with his bad reputation and loyalty, and there was a heroic reputation for driving the captives to die for the country for thousands of years. A general succeeded and ten thousand bones were dying. The more we were killed, the more we accumulated more virtues. Although the people were weak and bullied, the hearts of people were as beautiful as mirrors. Look, the richest people turned into several feet of loess after a hundred years. No matter how big the land, the heroes and achievements are, the more they are left behind. In the end, it is not a stone monument carved by the people, but a monument carved in the hearts of the people. Liu Jieshuai had come out of these paths and told you."
Jin Sai knelt down with shame and said, "The coach taught me a lesson." But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs and don't know how much they can hear.
"I will encourage you if I have no learning in advance." Zhao Xingde waved his hand and said, "Get back."
Then Jin Sai stepped back like a general amnesty, and the river breeze blew. He felt cold and cold. It turned out that sweat had soaked his underwear just now. He said intimidatingly, he staggered down the stairs and didn't dare to go back to the pleasure boat. He went straight back to the mansion to explain the matter of purchasing food and clothing. Since the Liao army invaded the south, the world was in chaos. Jin Sai took advantage of the situation and robbed the troops and plundered hundreds of thousands of coins of money and took out 30,000 coins of relief. He would not hurt his bones.
"General Jin" a confidant accountant asked: "Do you really spend 30,000 guan to buy rice and cloth?"
"Nonsense!" Jin Sai glared at his eyes and shouted, "This matter is not small, but if you dare to see that I will not skin you!" The accountant book had some small calculations and he was scared to know that Jin Sai could do it, even though he complained in his heart, he dared not do his best to do his best to do his relief. The shopkeeper said that he stepped down and his face was relieved.
Jin Sai posted for a while and touched his chin and smiled at the left and right generals: "Zhao Jieshuai praised me for having a thought of goodness..."
The news about Princess Wu at the Dongguan Wharf spread quickly. Not long after, the officials of Yangzhou's academicians, magistrates, defense envoys and other officials arrived at the wharf. The hungry people rushed to the dock. The crowd surrounded the dock. The southern invasion of Liao State caused many wives to be separated and their hearts became more and more peaceful. In the minds of many people, the eldest princess Wu was a close person to the emperor. Judging from the fact that she gave charity to the victims, the court might still be able to count on it. The runners of the prefecture kept the people outside the trestle and most people dared not speak, but were reluctant to leave and looked at the front of the tower.
However, Zhao Huan never appeared again. She sat quietly in the cabin and looked at the hungry people in the dock worriedly.
In the boat building, Zhao Xingde sat in the first military weapon supervisor Xu Xiaoyun, Zhou He, Meng Ying, Liu Gu and other naval generals sat in succession. Zheng Bin sat in the first place in the right magistrate Tan Zicheng, defense envoy Xie Lingyun, chief clerk Jin Kejian and others also sat on the right. Zheng Bin secretly compared the South China Sea Navy, although the officers were not yet in the army, the officers' arrogance was a world of difference with the Huaixi Army stationed here. Zheng Bin couldn't help but sigh slightly and the court divided the Yangzhou defense zone to the Huaixi Army, which made the people suffer.
"The eldest princess and the Marquis of Wuchang came to Yangzhou without sending anyone to inform me in advance?"
The magistrate Tan Zicheng smiled and said, "The yamen runners heard rumors about the street and knew that they were coming over quickly." Although his expression was intimate, he was somewhat reserved. The local officials in Yangzhou were recommended by gentry and the prime minister should not be dismissed at will. He was just polite to Zhao Xingde. If Liu Guangshi, Jin Sai and other generals were in power, he would definitely call himself "the official" and emphasized that he had an incompetent relationship with the other party.
"As soon as Zhao arrived in Yangzhou, he saw that there were devastated people in the world, and hungry people were everywhere." Zhao Xingde sighed and shook his head slightly. "I think you all must be the one who is busy with all your time at night. So I don't plan to ask you all to come to the dock to greet him." He was polite and Tan Zicheng looked ashamed. If an ordinary general or even an official said this, he would not take him seriously. But Zhao Yuan said this to face in front of him, but it was not a good thing for the local officials in Yangzhou to hear it. The scene was in a state of distraction.
"Mr. Zhao doesn't know anything." Zheng Bin sighed, "Everyone in the world knows that Yangzhou is a place where merchants gather wealth and wealth in the cavalry. However, the Liao army's iron cavalry went south and the official army collapsed. There were even rebel generals and rebel soldiers to be the front drive of the Liao army." His face showed a deep pain. "After Kong Yanzhou rebelled in Chuzhou, the Liao army sent light cavalry to attack our state. People in the city were panicked and the gentry and the people fled everywhere. The people supported the elderly, the young, the shoulders, the hands of the women and children were carried on their shoulders and hands and carried women and children. They were crying and running around. There were also traitors taking advantage of the chaos to rob and rob the robbers. The officials who fled back rushed in the crowds of fugitives and slashed them randomly. When the road was crowded, they swung their knives and slashed. In the Dongganmen area, the elderly, weak women and children were trampled to death, and countless people were slashed to death."
Zhao Xingde did not interrupt Zheng Bin's story and listened quietly together. Several local officials looked dark. The tragic scenes they were all in Jiangbei were vivid in the beginning. Some relatives of some people died in chaos.
"Run south to the Yangtze River Ferry, more than 100,000 people squeezed there, but there were not many ferries. The crying by the river was shocking, many people didn't care about waiting to jump straight into the water and swim across the river and drowned countless people. After more than a month, the river was floating with rotten corpses everywhere. Occasionally, a ferry returned from the south of the Yangtze River and was immediately stopped by the people who swim in the river. Once they crossed the river, they were busy running south and no one rowed the boat to Jiangbei. To be honest, Lord Zhao was also on the riverside. I spent two days and one night seeing that I had no hope of crossing the river, so I had to take my relatives back to Jiangbei Village to hide."
Zheng Bin's face was unbearable and the magistrate Tan Zicheng sighed and continued, "Soon after, the rebel general Kong Yanzhou led the Liao army to kill him at the ferry. Nearly 100,000 people gathered near the ferry. Most of them were women and old and weak. When they saw the arrival of Liao soldiers, some were crying on the shore and some were in panic and running into the river. Kong Yanzhou, a dog thief!" Tan Zicheng gritted his teeth and said, "He led the Liao army pioneers, thousands of cavalry, and rushed into the people and killed countless people and died. From Yangzhou to Guazhou, the corpses were piled up everywhere. The river was full of floating corpses."
"The Liao soldiers were stationed in Yangzhou for these days and plundered their children and jade and silk everywhere. When they returned north, they demolished the city walls and set fire to burn the houses all over the city. Yangzhou turned into ruins." The chief clerk Jin Kejian said, "After the Liao soldiers retreated, there were only eighteen households in the city. Henghai Army and Huaixi Army successively entered Yangzhou Yangzhou Treasury. Although we were very empty, we always tried our best to supply the official army because the Liao soldiers were too cruel."
Zhao Xingde nodded slightly and recalled that the court's report listed the tax arrears and the food and wages of the prefectures and counties that had never seen Yangzhou. Because of this, he did not expect that Yangzhou was ruined and so was so ruined. When the Ministry of War decided to place the navy headquarters and the boat yard in Yangzhou, he felt that this place might be able to supplement some military supplies. Now, it is true that Yangzhou has hungry workers, sailors, and unemployed people have no way to beg for a living.
This is probably why the court also placed the construction of official ships in the South China Sea in Yangzhou. The so-called "grain can lead to the rivers and lakes and the lakes and the South China Sea" was the reason why the court established the capital of Bianliang. The tribute and taxes from Jiangnan, Huainan, Liangzhe, Jinghu, and Lingnan must be transported to Bianliang through Yangzhou. When the court center was transferred from Bianliang to Ezhou, the goods transported were greatly reduced compared to before. If we didn't find another way, we would be afraid that this side would not be able to recover its vitality in the past few hundred years.
