Chapter 228: The 50,000 Mass Work Team

Zhao Xing, who occupied Guangping, has no idea or idea to annex Guangping County. He has no intention of blatantly raising the flag to rebel in such a place of four battles. He has not yet planned to blatantly pluck the flag to rebel Zhao Xing. He seized Guangping in order to retaliate against Yuan Shu and let his army go north without any worries; the second is to attract refugees, supplement Bingzhou, and speed up the infiltration and occupation of the newly obtained county. He has already connected with Liangzhou to the ignition Bingzhou, and may not be able to live in peace in the future.

The 50,000 migrant workers who followed the army soon entered Guangping City. Both Jizhou people, those who had moved to Bingzhou would naturally talk about the land tax, government rules and even new topics such as Han-Hua intermarriage, production cooperatives, public medical care, and basic education. Some people in the two places might have been the same family or even relatives. After listening to the introduction of the "voluntary propaganda team", they couldn't help but feel moved and expressed their willingness to join Bingzhou.

In a group of low-skinned thatched houses west of Guangping City, there was a family named He who escaped from Julu. The couple took a boy less than three years old. I thought that they would escape south to Guangping without the harm of the Yellow Turban, and the family could make a living, but they met Yuan Shu, the "skinned prefect" who was not only plundered, but also the fatal thing was trapped in Guangping without food to live, and they were about to sell their children or change their children to eat.

The poor man in this family, whose real name is He Ming, was born in Julu Grandma, and has more than 300 people in the clan. His family is still a blood relative of four generations with the head of the family. He teaches more than ten children to study in the school in the clan, marry a wife to live a peaceful life, raise a lively and cute boy, and can live a life.

After Zhang Jiao led his people to rebel, he gave up his seat to Dian Wei, the "Pioneering Pioneer General" and brought his army to attack Taocheng. Zhao Xing, the new county magistrate at that time, could not withstand the repeated attacks of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban bandits because he had no soldiers and horses in his hands. Finally, he fled back to Shangdang alone. The "Pioneering Pioneer General" who initially occupied Taocheng, was a little vulgar, but he never made things difficult for the people in the city. However, not long after, the Pioneer General led his troops south to attack Guangping, and the thief head Zhang Jiao led the bandits to settle in Taocheng.

After the bandits entered the city, they were like locusts passing through the border, and they robbed all the wealthy families in the city, but they even killed people with fierce and cruel methods. The patriarch of the He Ming family resisted, and was dragged out by Xiaoshuai, a young man under the banner of Zhang. He Ming, who was trapped in the temple, looked for a chance to escape from the city every day. God opened his eyes and found a distant relative who was actually the little leader guarding the city gate. After a while, the little leader hinted that He Ming was on his own on the turn that night and could escape. He did not care about many people in the family, but He Ming hurriedly fled out of the city with his wife and children, and fled south to Guangping.

According to Zhao Xing's request, migrant workers scattered all over the city to help Guangping people clean up the houses and prevent the occurrence of epidemics. Genshun's wife, who joined the army from Lishicheng, happened to bring a few women to He Ming's house. After a lot of chatter, He Ming's wife and Genshun's wife were having a lot of chatting, and then she told Genshun's wife about the situation at home with tears in her eyes.

Genshun's wife was specially trained and was very sensitive to the "major discovery" mentioned by He Ming's wife that a distant relative was guarding the Taocheng Gate of the Temple. So she reported the situation to the leader who was inserted into the migrant worker team overnight. The young leader did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the situation to Li Jinsi.

After Li Jinsi learned about it, he immediately arranged people to go to He Ming's thatched house to check, and also brought some life-saving food. He Ming, who was rescued by the Bingzhou Army, naturally said everything he knew and said everything he said, and explained the appearance, name, accent, etc. of his distant relative. He Ming even volunteered to contact this relative and helped the Bingzhou Army to trick the Taocheng Gate into opening the Taocheng Gate.

The Shadow Team member who came to learn about the situation immediately agreed to He Ming's request and clearly guaranteed that his wife and children would be transferred to Shangdang and that their lives would be safe in the future. If He Ming really could trick the Taocheng Gate into the temple, he could be recorded as his merits and be rewarded by General Zhenbei.

Similar situations occur frequently in various forgotten corners of Guangping City. In just three days, the "mass work team" mentioned by Zhao Xing "incited" 30,000 people to move to Bingzhou, and even found hundreds of clues related to the Yellow Turban Army in Taocheng. Zhao Xing, who obtained the statistics of Li Jinsi, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Taizu is really the first person in ancient and modern times. Unswervingly following the mass line is a good way to resist defeat!"

Zhao Xing, who had been in Guangping City for half a month, received a command from the General of the Northern Central Army to urge the Bingzhou Army to go north to suppress the bandits, and finally slowly set off again. The 30,000 people in Guangping City who were willing to settle in Bingzhou, according to Zhao Xing's instructions, Li Fu, Xu Si and others had all registered and issued customs documents to these people, designated the resettlement area, and headed west under the escort of 500 cavalrymen.

Following the line of escaping from Julu and returning to Shangdang alone, Zhao Xing felt sad in his heart when he saw the fields and villages that were even more desolate than a year ago.

In order to realize his political ambitions, Zhang Jiao did not hesitate to stir up the rebellion of the people in the world, but the people still suffered in the end. Corrupt officials of the Han Dynasty were indeed hateful and hateful, but there were also some good officials who loved the people as much as their sons, such as Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, Sima Fang, the governor of Xihe County, Zao Zhi, and even Han Yin and Lei Bo, who were newly acquired, performed their duties in handling civil affairs in Guangping City because of Zhao Xing's supervision, which was no longer as unbearable as Yuan Shu was when he was there.

Compared with the officials appointed by the Han Dynasty to various places, the commanders of the small and small Qu and the leaders under Zhang Jiao were just a group of thugs without any moral integrity. They only knew crazy destruction and did not know how to build. In their eyes, all officials were bad, and they should be pulled out and beheaded; the food and wealth in the government treasury were all the people's wealth and ointment, and they should be emptied and distributed to the suffering people. As for those rich families, they were all bad people. They helped the government to bully the good and do evil, and they should be scouted and beheaded.

Judging from the data along the way, Zhao Xing knew that only the two counties in Guangping and Julu were in Jizhou. Due to the Yellow Turban disaster, there was originally a population of more than 600,000, but now the remaining one is less than 300,000. There were as many as 1,000 wealthy families destroyed by Zhang Jiao. The wealth accumulated by these families for generations, or even dozens of generations, were looted, and all were used to support the Yellow Turban Heavenly Army, which did not work for farming.

If one day, all the wealthy and food-rich families in the world were killed and stolen, and all the food and property in the government were divided, what would the millions of Yellow Turban Army do? The result was that like the peasant uprising led by Huang Chao in later generations, when there was nothing to fill the stomach, they would put the living people in a big stone mortar and smash them into meat as military rations!
