Chapter 1337 Jiangxia

"Aren't you making things difficult for me like this?"

Zhai Mohou said helplessly. He picked up the teapot in front of him, poured a cup of tea for the two Nanliang prefects, and then pointed to the fish on the plate, saying, "This is the fish caught in the river, it is fresh. When the oil is fried, it smells fragrant and it is still hot, and there is no fishy at all. Taste it."

Zhang Zhenzhou sighed.

I don’t have the mood to eat fish and drink tea, and my mouth is full of soaking.

In fact, they had long wanted to return to Qin. As long as the words of the Great Qin, they would return to Qin at any time. But the key point is that if they wanted to return to Qin, the Qin people refused.

I always say that the Three Feudatories of Jiangnan can play chess, and it will be too late.

Those who were waiting around, now seeing the chaos in the county under their rule, they wanted to return to Qin as soon as possible and then they could shake their hands.

"Mr. Zhai, why don't you ask us for helping us ask us for a request, it will be too difficult for us!"

Zhou Faming also said, "It really doesn't work. Mr. Zhai, please lend us some food first."

"Or what if you open the border and let us let some victims go first?"

Looking at the two soldiers in the Southern Liang Dynasty, Zhai Mohou was a little amused and crying. Although he was on the front line and border, his life was indeed quite relaxing. The two neighbors were prefects all day long thinking about how to surrender to Qin.

"There is no precedent for borrowing grain." Zhai Mohou held the teacup in his hand. The weather was hot and he stayed in the boat in the middle of the river. The wind was very pleasant.

"Mr. Zhai, we have no choice. There are so many disaster victims, both drought and locust plague. Nowadays, all the people have become hungry. Not to mention the people, even our soldiers and horses have no grain in the army. If this continues, let alone the hungry people become bandits, even the soldiers and horses we wait for will become chaotic soldiers. At that time, we will have no choice but to suppress them. Once these disaster victims and soldiers cross the boundary, they will also cause trouble for you."

Mianyang County is located south of the Han River and north of the Yangtze River, while Jiangxia County is located south of Hankou.

These two counties are the strategic locations of the small court in Nanliang today, but the prefects of the two counties are thinking about joining Qin all day long. In fact, Xiao Xian knew about this, but he had no choice. He now has no choice but to do so. His government orders cannot leave Jiangling City, Nanjun. The military leaders from all over the country are respecting him openly, but in fact they are all in charge of their own affairs and are in the same position.

Zhou Faming also said bluntly, "The situation is already very critical now. This person is hungry and can do everything. Maybe one day I will have someone cut off my head in my sleep. So, if Mr. Zhai doesn't help, I really can't stay in Jiangxia. I will go back to clean up today and go to Luoyang tomorrow."

"Don't forget Lei Changying, two!"

Zhai Mohou reminded them.

At that time, Lei Changying was the prefect of Mianyang and surrendered to Qin secretly. As a result, in order to stabilize the Three Feudals, the emperor first defeated the joint invasion of the northwest with the Western Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun and the Qiang, and adopted a pacification strategy against the Three Feudals. The surrendered Lei Changying instead captured and sent it back to the Liang army, causing Lei Changying to be killed.

Zhang Zhenzhou looked helpless.

"It really doesn't work, I'll just lead my troops to Jiangling!"

"Yes, we will send troops to Jiangling to take Xiao Xian for the saint! Then the whole country will join us!"

"Two, please say something." Zhai Mohou said hurriedly.

"Duke Zhai, this is the same time. When Lei Changying surrendered, the Qin Dynasty was fighting in the northwest, but now it is peaceful. Duke Zhai, you have a great achievement and must not be missed."

After thinking about it, Zhai Mohou was a little moved.

"If you change your flag, how many subordinates will support you?"

"Everyone has been looking forward to this day for a long time."

"I have to report to the court."

"I'm afraid it's too late. Now people's eyes are shining with hunger. If there is no food, I'm afraid they'll have to eat each other."

Once people start to eat people, there is no law or morality to restrain.

Although Anlu County is close to Luoyang, it takes two or three days to quickly horses. The news will take five or six days to come.

Five or six days is indeed too long for hungry people who are anxious.

"Stop, I'll take the risk."

Zhai Mohou immediately decided to open the border and let the victims of Jiangxia and Mianyang come to the border first. He would set up disaster relief sites there and provide porridge and food.

To transport grain to the two counties, it is better to let the victims come directly.

As for the two counties, the two men still led their troops to garrison, and the food they needed was sent to transport them.

"Please send a soldier into the country!"

"Yes, it's best to make a big fuss. The number of troops does not matter. What's important is to make a big fuss!"

Zhou Faming and Zhang Zhenzhou agreed.

"good!"

After Zhai Mohou returned to Hankou, he immediately summoned his subordinate officials.

Then he went to visit Eunuch Liu in the city in person.

Eunuch Liu is a famous eunuch, a eunuch stationed in Anlu County, Hubei Province, from the Provincial Department of Eunuch stationed in Anlu County, responsible for the purchase of locusts in Anlu County, and processing and storing locusts to make grain.

"Please ask Eunuch Liu to second the disaster relief food."

Eunuch Liu has several large warehouses in Hankou, and all the food stored in it is made of disaster relief grains made of locust eggs and locust powder, small fish, shrimp, snails, shellfish and mixed grains.

This type of disaster relief grain is naturally worse than the health powder sold in various places. The production process is rougher and the ingredients are more inferior, but after all, it is a real food that can be eaten.

Rice bran, wheat bran, bean flour, taro flour mixed with locust powder, fish, shrimp, shell powder, and it smells average, and it is not delicious to eat. But after all, it can be eaten and digested. It is different than eating directly with grass roots and bark. Not to mention the Guanyin soil that can barely feel full temporarily after eating, but in the end it will not be digested to death.

What's more, these disaster relief foods even include precious things like salt.

"Don't there still a lot of food in Zhai's warehouse?" Eunuch Liu asked with a smile.

"To be honest, I plan to do a big thing, but time is urgent." Zhai Mohou briefly said the matter.

When the ninth-grade Eunuch Liu heard this, he was shocked and pondered for a long time.

"Since it's a big deal, our family naturally has to fully support Zhai Envoy. As long as Zhai Envoy writes a document, our family will give you as much as you want."

"Thank you, my father-in-law, for your righteousness!"

"It's all for the saints and the court."

Jiangxia.

It is only across the river from Hankou.

Zhou Faming returned to the city and immediately announced the good news to his subordinates.

"Everyone, Daqin finally agreed to let us join us!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

"Transfer this good news to all levels immediately, change the flag and change the flag, and cast out the Qin flag that everyone has prepared for a long time!"

Jiangxia City, in front of the prefect's mansion.

The first one changed into Qin flag.

The original beam flag was pulled down and threw it aside, and a red Qin-shaped flag was raised high.

When people nearby saw this flag, they were first surprised and then delighted.

Finally, they also became Qin people.

"We are also from Qin. We are saved, and finally we are saved!"

"Yes, if you become a Qin people, you will not be afraid of drought or locust plagues, and you will no longer have to worry about famine!"

In Jiangxia City, Qin flags were raised one after another in various yamen.

Many people in the city hurriedly ran home.

"Madam, hurry up, hurry up and meet a red flag, we will return to Qin!"

Every household competes to chase the red flag.

Zhou Faming also immediately sent people to the streets to promote notices, saying that Jiangxia would return to Qin. If the people in the county had no food at home, they could go to the ferry, where there would be ships to transport everyone across the river to Hankou, where there would be officials in Hankou to release grain and porridge to help the people.

That day.

Countless people from Jiangxia County began to rush to the ferry. When they arrived at the place, there were indeed hundreds of ships prepared by the Jiangxia army to cross the river.
