Chen Shaowei had an extremely headache.

He never expected that it was just a routine scout, which caused him such a big trouble. Looking at the scout team leader Cheng Xiaoyu, who was kneeling in front of him, he didn't know what to say.

More than 500 refugees are waiting outside the gate of the camp now. Basically, they are all old, weak, women and children, mostly women and children. The cold wind is howling outside the camp and snowflakes are dancing wildly. Those who are thin and hungry clothes are sure to be able to survive for one night in the wild.

Cheng Xiaoyu hopes that Chen Shaowei can save them. In his opinion, this is just a sentence from Chen Shaowei. But in Chen Shaowei's opinion, this matter is not a trivial matter.

Chen Shaowei was originally the deputy general of the Beidaying of Hulao border. During the Hulao Incident, he had no choice but to join He Weiping's side and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty's successful acquisition of Hulao. However, he knew that in the Hulao new army, he was really not He Weiping's confidant. In the entire Ming army, generals like him were even lower than those from the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he always acts very carefully and never exceeds the rules and regulations.

Now when the two armies are facing each other, Cheng Xiaoyu has brought back hundreds of enemies' families for him, which really makes Chen Shaowei not sure what to do for a moment.

In addition to political reasons, there are also economic reasons. Cheng Xiaoyu felt that they were eating well and dressed warmly, and believed that everything was surplus for his own army, but generals of the same level as Chen Shaowei naturally knew more.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty's domestic transportation network, the county magistrates adhered to the theory that if you want to be rich, the Qin State's road system can be described as messy, so the Ming Dynasty built so many huge warehouses in Hulao, and placed the military rations and materials transported from Hulao here first, and then transferred them from Hulao to the front line.

Such a transfer is quite difficult. There is no good road and it is a season of heavy snow. Every time a pound of grain is transported, the consumption of almost a pound along the way is. The caravan in charge of the transfer of military supplies in the Ming Dynasty has increased the price several times, and he still complained about losing money from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War.

Although logistics ensures the basic needs of the army, as the saying goes, the landlords have no surplus food. Suddenly, hundreds of mouths were added, which really made Chen Shaowei difficult. More importantly, if the precedent was set in the air, will more refugees come here?

There are indeed no large-scale refugees outside, but it cannot be ruled out that there are no ordinary people of Qin who wander and struggle in the wind and snow in this huge area.

Cheng Xiaoyu and the others encountered the Qin cavalry, or the news would be leaked immediately. Will it attract more refugees to come and ask for help? This is a question worth pondering. Will the Qin people take advantage of such an opportunity to consume the originally small amount of food in the Ming Dynasty?

Chen Shaowei stared at Cheng Xiaoyu angrily, and patroled. When encountering such a thing, wouldn't it be better to pretend that he couldn't see the horse and ran away? They were family members of the Qin army. The Qin army cruelly drove them out of Shuanglian City, but asked the Ming army to take over this burden?

The key is that even if you take this burden, people may not be thinking about your good deeds. When it is time to cut you, they will never be ruthless. From the fact that the opponent's general can drive these people out of the Shuanglian City, it can be seen that guy is cruel!

Ignoring this, Chen Shaowei felt that he could not put his heart down again. He was not upset when he saw it. All of them were placed in front of him. The children's crying sounds tearing the softest part of the heart of every soldier in the camp. Half a year ago, they were still their own compatriots!

If you really want to die, it will be extremely bad for your reputation if it spreads out in the future. Although it has only been half a year since joining the Ming Dynasty, Chen Shaowei still learned about the emperor of the Ming Dynasty through various channels, and it is not ordinary good for the people under his rule.

These people are still Qin people at present, but to be honest, they can be regarded as citizens of the Ming Dynasty. If they were allowed to freeze to death and starve to death in the wilderness, I was afraid that the emperor would have prejudices on him.

He really wanted to punish this troublesome scout team leader severely.

"They can't enter the camp!" he said coldly.

Cheng Xiaoyu was shocked and looked up at Chen Shaowei.

"How can I enter the military camp and the idlers come in!" Chen Shaowei stroked his forehead and said in pain: "But I can't watch these people die of starvation."

"Thank you, General!" Cheng Xiaoyu was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly.

"You damn it, thank you!" Chen Shaowei cursed angrily, turned to look at the military officer on one side, "More than 500 people, please give them twenty military tents!"

The military officer nodded.

"If you have any extra cotton coats, quilts, felt blankets, etc., get some."

The quartermaster nodded again.

"Is there any surplus of food?" Chen Shaowei asked.

"General, there is a fixed amount of food. Now that there is a five hundred mouths, it is definitely not enough, so I can only pick a little out of the soldiers' mouths. Fortunately, they are just alive. It will not take much to cook a little porridge and barely survive." said the junket.

"That's it!" Chen Shaowei suddenly found that the generals in the tent seemed to have no different opinions on this matter. It seemed that everyone was willing to help these refugees, even if they had to pick them up from their mouths.

"The rotating troops cannot let them hungry, so the other resumption troops will save a little." After discovering this, he felt a little better. "But this winter festival is still growing, so we can't keep in mind them all the time. Looking back, I'll go to the general of the Central Army to find an idea to see what to do next? The number of these five hundred people is not large. If more people come in the future, it will be really hard to fix it."

The wisest way is to accept these people first and then find a way to blame the camp. Maybe the general will be unhappy, but Chen Shaowei has no other way.

Looking at Cheng Xiaoyu who was still kneeling on the ground, he was still angry. "Since you brought these troubles back, Cheng Xiaoyu, you don't have to rest when you take a break. Take your team to chop wood for these people. If the women and children go to search for them by themselves, they will probably freeze to death in the wild."

"As for orders, thank you General Chen!" Cheng Xiaoyu finally showed a happy smile, but he was just chopping wood. He originally thought he was going to be beaten with a military stick! "I will take my brothers to help them set up a tent. These people are afraid that they will not be able to set up, and they will not be able to set up."

"Get out, get out as far as you can!" Chen Shaowei cursed, kicking Cheng Xiaoyu into a big horse party.

The junta officer walked out with a giggle and said, "If you set up a camp tent, let us logistics people do it. They are professional, Xiaoyu, now you go chop wood. I see that there is a big pine forest ten miles away. Do you want me to lend you some saws, axes or something?"

"Yes, of course!" Cheng Xiaoyu got up with a smile and followed the quarrel out happily.

Chen Shaowei was about to go to Chen Zhihua, the general of the Central Army camp, to apologize and get rid of his burden, but the commanders from the Central Army camp first arrived in his new third battalion, which surprised him. He thought, could the general have the ability to know beforehand that he knew that this chaos would happen here? That was why he sent someone to tell him back to the camp to ask for guilt!

Especially when the messenger asked to talk to Chen Shaowei alone, his heart became even more confused.

After the screening left and right, the messenger lowered his voice and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived in the Central Army camp. After the General asked General Chen to arrange all the affairs in the camp, he would go to the Central Army camp to meet His Majesty the Emperor."

As soon as he heard this, Chen Shaowei's heart immediately became confused again. This was really a disaster. He had just had trouble here, but His Majesty the Emperor arrived again. He immediately put himself on the fire and roasted him.

The messenger did not bring documents and only sent messages. Naturally, it was because the forces of both sides in this area were intertwined, and the enemy and us penetrated each other very well. If the messenger accidentally fell into the hands of the enemy, if there was a letter, the opponent would inevitably know that the emperor was coming, and maybe a large raid for the entire army would occur.

It’s not that they can really do better than the Ming Dynasty. In fact, they can’t do it. But His Majesty the Emperor came to reward the army, not to fight. If a good thing is ruined by the Qin army’s large-scale attack, it will inevitably be beautiful.

With a nervous mood, Chen Shaowei arranged all the defensive affairs in the camp, but there was nothing wrong. The enemies in the Shuanglian City were not capable of fighting. The main thing to be guarded against was the elusive Thunder Army wandering outside the city. These guys are smart now, but they are not able to catch the strong defense camp. After all, there are not many Thunder Army wandering in this area, and their main force is still in Yongdu City. If you really want to make a big move, it will not be concealed.

When Chen Shaowei left the camp, he watched the logistics soldiers of the New Third Battalion set up camp tents for the refugees. This small camp was about a road away from his main camp. The camp had begun to take shape. Some soldiers were walking there with pots, pans, and grain bags, stepping on thick snow. Outside the new camp, Cheng Xiaoyu, who caused trouble, dragged back many of the pine forests he had cut down, and was wielding an axe there to cut the trees into pieces.

The soldiers seemed to be very happy.

He deliberately went around the small new camp to take a look. The women, children and children with thin clothes were wearing larger Ming army coats or wrapped in quilts, gathered together to watch where the Ming army was busy.

Their eyes were confused, but at least they felt a little angry on their faces.

The children were the most angry. The older ones were already running around in the camp. They really didn't know the taste of sorrow.
