Chapter 190 Refugees
Chapter 190: Although the Battle of the North Sea was over, its influence continued to ferment and became more and more intense.
Not to mention the public opinion storm among the people of Jiuzhou, the loss of resistance alone is enough to attract the attention of all forces.
The collapse of the coalition of millions of princes left Yuan Futong's army without any obstacles, especially with the help of the Shura clan, hundreds of thousands of troops advanced straight in, and approached the heartland of the Central Plains with a powerful attitude of sweeping everything.
Wherever you pass, all the people who do not surrender will be killed. Those who are obedient will live, and those who are against each other will die!
For a moment, blood flowed into a river, and the terror of sorrow was everywhere. The overflowing blood and resentment spread across the sky, covering the sky. Even if the sun was scorching, the bloody snatched the suppression place was still gloomy and windy, like a ghost crying and howling.
In comparison, what made all forces even more trouble was that hundreds of thousands of refugees poured into their territory, and the food crisis reached its peak for a while.
In every war, refugees who roam the most difficult for all forces. If they help refugees, they will undoubtedly have a very good reputation and will have the opportunity to succeed in the future.
But if it is to assist refugees, the huge demand for food will undoubtedly directly reduce one's strength to freezing point.
Enough food reserves can ensure the long-term combat effectiveness of the army during the battle. If military supplies are wasted on refugees, they will not be able to fight the enemy for a long time in the future.
It is precisely because for the refugees who flew in the lost areas, all forces took in a little after considering their ability to bear it, but more of them were turned away and powerless.
Countless homeless refugees wandered around, looking for a place to stay. From time to time, people starved to death and died of cold in the wilderness. For a time, the land of Jiuzhou showed chaos and people were living in poverty.
......
......
"If millions of people are displaced today and countless people die on their way, can you have any good ideas?"
After all, Shang Rong was worried about the people and gathered important officials such as Fei Lian, Huang Feihu, Bigan, etc. He wanted to find a way to solve the problem of refugees.
As soon as these words were spoken, Bi Gan and others also looked sad and sighed. No one expected that Yuan Futong's offensive was so fierce and even more brutal and bloody.
However, when everyone thought that the power behind Yuan Futong was the Shura clan in the Netherworld Blood Sea, they immediately felt relieved.
"Old Prime Minister. I have more heart but less strength!" Bi Gan looked sad: "After the battle of Beihai, we can only protect ourselves and protect a corner of Cheng Tang's last foundation."
After pausing for a moment, Bigan sighed again: "I also want to let someone open the city to take refugees, but... it's not possible!"
It may be able to solve the huge demand for materials in a short period of time, but over time, even if the national treasury is opened, it will not be able to provide far exceeding the burden of refugees' food and clothing, and it may even drag down the lives of the people in their hands today.
Of course, the most important thing is that sufficient military supplies must be ensured at present to prevent people from attacking, and there is enough resistance to protect Cheng Tang's final foundation.
After Bi Gan said this, Shang Rong sighed, understanding the difficulty of the matter, but in the end he couldn't bear it and pity the people of the world.
During the silence, everyone couldn't help but concentrate their eyes on Fei Lian. Now everyone knows that Fei Lian has great powers, and maybe he has a solution.
"There is one way, but I don't know if it will be successful!"
Fei Lian rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up: "What's the solution?"
Shang Rong hurriedly asked, "Now everyone has no good plans. If Fei Lian's method has a chance to succeed, you might as well give it a try."
"The solution is to guide refugees to Xiqi and let Xiqi take in these refugees!"
As soon as this said, everyone was confused. Bi Gan pondered for a moment and said, "How can Xiqi accommodate many refugees in a small area? What's more, will Xiqi really take these refugees?"
In Bigan, Xiqi is really small enough. Even if all these refugees pour into Xiqi, Xiqi will probably collapse, so where can these refugees live?
Upon hearing this, Fei Lian shook his head slightly and said, "One time and another time, the power behind Xiqi today is the sect of saints - the Ansect!"
"You should have all the secret chess ambushed among the various princes. You should know that Xiqi has not been attacked by the Shura clan. This is the secret help of the people of the Anarchy."
After Fei Lian said this, everyone suddenly realized.
In fact, Fei Lian’s meaning is very simple. It is not to ask Ji Chang to find a way to solve this problem, but to force the Ancestral Sect to take action.
It is easy to solve the life and death problems of millions of refugees with the ability of the sage sect.
If the Jie Cult still had support from the Shang Dynasty, there would be no problem with the inviting refugees. However, the Jie Cult has abandoned the Shang Dynasty and will be powerless.
Just when everyone thought this plan was feasible, Fei Lian frowned again and said, "But there is another problem. If these refugees are directed to Xiqi, and Xiqi is really supported by the Academic Education. If this problem is solved, the public opinion offensive created before will be wasted."
After thinking about it carefully, everyone was stunned. As Fei Lian said, Xiqi's unjust intention was obvious to the world, and the previous public opinion offensive was also aimed at making Xiqi lose the hearts of the people.
If the so-called world that wins the hearts of the people has no public foundation, even if Xiqi occupied Jiuzhou, it would not be able to stabilize the country.
But if Xiqi really solves the refugee problem, the public opinion topics will probably change at that time. Then Xiqi sends some people to build momentum, and the previous public opinion offensive will be eliminated and will not play any role.
"What should you do? If you really want to do this, then I will issue an imperial edict in the name of the emperor, so that the princes from all over the country will lead refugees to Xiqi, providing basic supplies along the way, and probably no princes will refuse!"
It’s not that no one refuses, but that no one dares to refuse.
Although the Shang Dynasty has lost control of the world, it is still the nominal lord of the country and can still command the princes of the world.
Moreover, it is the time for chaos in the world and people are in panic. If the princes do not help refugees in accordance with the imperial edict, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction and even riots among the people in the country.
Moreover, it is only necessary to provide some basic materials when refugees pass through the border to ensure basic living. The cost is actually not large, and it can also win the hearts of the people. Naturally, no princes will refuse.
Everyone discussed for a moment and decided to follow this plan. They could not watch millions of refugees die in the wilderness and leave it alone.
But everyone was an old fox, so they quickly made another plan. Since Xiqi had a disobedient heart, we should not let Xiqi live a better life.
So, an imperial edict was quickly heard from Chaoge again. Soon after, Ji Chang, who was confused, was voluntarily discovered that millions of refugees from various lost places had gathered outside Xiqi. For a moment, he was as big as a cow and was at a loss. (To be continued! ~!
