Chapter 19 Refugees
Jiang Wei himself was also in a state of contradiction. The Han Dynasty could not be destroyed, but no one was qualified to inherit the throne. Yang Yi held the Jade Seal of the Crown Prince. In addition to what Yang Yi did, Jiang Wei had to pinch his nose and recognize him, but he also restricted Yang Yi's actions.
It was not a big deal to capture Mianzhu City. Then Yang Yi was placed here, and the surrounding counties were ordered to establish the name of the regent, and then the army was sent to Jinguan City to save the king and then to seek other things.
Fa Sui and Ning Yi were the people who were surveillance left by Jiang Wei. Yang Yi just swung Fa Sui to Hanzhong with just one move. Now Zhong Hui has led the Wei army to retreat from Hanzhong, so naturally someone will take charge of Hanzhong's defense affairs to prevent the Wei army from making a comeback.
In fact, Yang Yi also made preparations to start again from Hanzhong. When Emperor Gaozu was able to start from Hanzhong, Yang Yi naturally had this ability. What she was best at was farming.
Ning Yi was originally a general, but now the war is urgent and the generals who are good at fighting have been taken away by Jiang Wei. He left a loyal and honest person to take control, so naturally he would not be very useful.
It was not until now that Mianzhu was truly occupied by Yang Yi. Three months later, it only took a precarious foundation.
...
Hanzhong.
Meng's family has thousands of acres of fertile land. Although they are not rich, they are a scholarly family that has been passed down from generation to generation. They value literary style and ethics the most. They are also very magnificent in the city's mansions, and there is also a study and literary garden for students to borrow. This is exactly the style that everyone has.
At this time, a young man got off the car at the door and handed a greeting to the door.
When the door saw that he was an acquaintance, he was very attentive and said, "Young Master Zhang, please come in, and I'll report it now."
Sure enough, one person hurriedly reported later, and the other person introduced him to the side hall to entertain and serve him in tea, which was very thoughtful.
In a courtyard, a young man was studying. Suddenly he heard footsteps, without raising his head, and asked slowly: "What's the matter, so panicked?"
"Young Master, Young Master Zhang wants to see you!" The servant replied.
"Why are you here?" The young man heard this, put down the teacup, touched his chin, and said to himself: "Does the teacher have any other thoughts?"
This young man was Meng Liang, the first disciple of the middle-aged Qi training man who lived near the mountain in Mianzhu City, and the person who came was Zhang Han.
Meng Liang was wearing casual clothes at this time, with a leisurely expression, and a faint light in his eyes. After listening to the servant's report, Meng Liang pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll go now!"
He took a few steps, turned back and said to the servant, "What a big deal to do if you change your impatience in the future."
The servant hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the smallest ones will definitely change!"
When I walked to the side hall, I saw Zhang Han who looked anxious at this moment.
"Junior Brother Zhang, I can't believe it for my brother just now. I didn't expect that he is really Junior Brother. Where did you come from?" Meng Liang walked over with a smile and said enthusiastically.
Both of them were greeted.
"Senior Brother Meng, I was traveling in the Central Plains and received a message from my master. I came back now, but I told you something." Zhang Han was weak on the outside and said with a smile.
"Oh? Is that right?" He looked at Zhang Han deeply, and Meng Liang showed a playful smile on his face, and said to Ren: "Then let's talk about it in detail... Are they?"
He looked at the guards following Zhang Han. Their demeanors were not ordinary servants.
"They met by chance the guards sent by a noble man, who escorted me back. Now there are many thieves on the road in the world. They are not very safe when walking alone, so the noble man helps me." Zhang Han said.
"Well, that junior brother is lucky!" Meng Liang shook his head and smiled, then called a slave and asked him to call those people to rest.
He and Zhang Han came to the back and sat in a small hall with guests and guests. Someone served tea. For a while, they were silent and only drank tea.
"Senior brother, are you still worried?" Zhang Han asked.
"Well, some, I know the master is for my own good, but I'm a little confused."
"Two months ago, the Han regent sent someone to seek talent, but the master cut it off. The situation at that time was not taken seriously, but now it is gradually stabilizing, but my father has some opinions. Now, everyone with news knows that although the Wei State has a great offensive, it almost destroyed the Shu Han, and the Han Dynasty's destiny is about to disappear.
However, General Jiang Wei, who strongly refused Zhong Hui from outside the Jianmen, forced Zhong Hui to withdraw his troops because of the fierce winter. He led the army to the forefront. Now he has conquered Jinguan City and is pursuing the Wei army eastward. The Han Dynasty obviously cannot be destroyed for a while.
Deng Ai has already taken possession of the Shu Han palace and moved, which has also caused Jiang Wei to dare to pursue and kill him. In this way, the Your Highness is obviously about to ascend to the throne, and it has been only a few days. How can my father not complain about this?
The situation was confused, but now everyone has seen some clues. My father is very angry!" Meng Liang said leisurely.
If Jiang Wei failed to establish a dragon pillar of the Han Dynasty according to normal development, he would not be able to stand up, so he could only find a way to surrender and then fail.
In this case, if a middle-aged Qi training man asks two apprentices not to become an official, it will naturally be easy to achieve.
However, at this time, the Han State turned defeat into victory, resisted the pursuit of the south, and the internal situation of the Wei State was also very delicate at this time. Although the Sima family had the intention to usurp the throne and had the power to usurp the throne, they lacked fame. If Shu Han could be destroyed, it would be declared that the Han Dynasty was officially destroyed and that with this fame, they could ascend to the throne.
But now, it is difficult. Although General Jiang Wei is old, he is getting stronger and stronger. He can't see any signs of death within three to five years. Now, the Regent of the Han Dynasty is like a wise ruler. He has been silently farming and training troops in the past two months. His actions have fallen into the eyes of those who are interested, and the public has a high evaluation.
Although there are still some inappropriate things, it is also amazing at such an age. Therefore, Meng's backlash was made when he learned that the middle-aged Qi training man did not inform him.
The Meng family is a wealthy family. No matter how good the master and apprentice are, it is not as good as the family's interests. Besides, the father and grandparents in the family are there, and it is not Meng Liang's turn to speak now.
"Although the Regent was lucky, he was a credit for his achievements, but he might not be the one who succeeded him." Zhang Han said quickly. His family background was much smaller, and he could only be considered a poor family. He was younger. Accordingly, there was a lot less rebound. He said in a defensive manner.
"The news and insights of junior brother are far away from studying in the Central Plains. If this is the only way, it is not enough to judge. But you see that the prince has been in the near counties and counties for more than a month, and all parties agree with it. Do you know what this is meant?" Meng Liang asked.
Zhang Han was a smart man and suddenly changed color slightly. Even if it was a regime like Shu Han, many people were fighting for it. Although he was known as a regent, countless people would compete for it.
The best way is to acquiesce and observe it from all sides. In this way, even if you fight, one side is like a wise ruler, and the other side is unknown. Naturally, everyone can see the gap. After waiting to set the title, they will decide the big thing.
What's more, the current situation of Shu Han is not allowed to make more choices. If there is an orthodox inheritance, this orthodox seems pretty good, so naturally all parties will acquiesce.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Junior brother, what will the master explain to you this time?"
"The leader of the Qiang tribe has been married recently. Master hopes that you and I will celebrate together."
"Did the Qiang tribe? The Qiang tribe chose the Qiang tribe? Although the Qiang tribe has some reputations, it has no place to live. What's more, I am China, how could I join these barbarians?" Meng Liang said a few words and stood up angrily.
"What does senior brother mean?"
"Go, of course I will go. Since Master has made a request, I am a disciple, so why don't I go? It's just a celebration!" Meng Liang said indifferently at this time.
Zhang Han opened his mouth and wanted to say it, but after thinking about it, he closed it again.
He didn't believe that the middle-aged Qi training man could not see the meaning of the senior brother, but Meng Liang obviously did not have the attitude of obeying the order.
But then again, this is not a trivial matter, it is a major matter that concerns the future of the family or even life and death. Even if a middle-aged Qi training man is a teacher, it is impossible to make a decision in this regard.
"By the way, I heard that Junior Brother Qu has already gone to Your Highness."
"Senior brother, he is just a political student now!"
"Junior brother, Qu Yuan is just a savage and has no family background. He can become a new official in school and government affairs. He seems to be a low-ranking official, but in fact he is in charge of education in several counties. It is no small matter. It can be seen that His Highness values him." Meng Liang said a little unwillingly. If it were him, wouldn't he be at a higher position? He would be able to be promoted to the government as a 300-stone official within the year, and it is estimated that he will be among the 600-stone official.
Maybe within a few years, it will reach 2,000 stones, and their Meng family has been operating for generations and has never crossed the threshold of 1,000 stones. How can they not be envious?
"Senior Brother!" Zhang Han couldn't help but interrupt the topic. He was a poor family, and he was even more angry when he listened. What's more, he revealed that he wanted to marry the Jia girl, and was even more humiliated. At this time, he said: "Since my senior brother has agreed, let's celebrate together when the time comes."
After hearing this, Meng Liang smiled faintly and said, "Okay, then it's decided!"
At this moment, a housekeeper came in and said, "The master is very happy to know that Mr. Zhang is coming. Please go with Mr. Zhang."
After hearing this, the two bowed to the butler, followed him along the way, passing through several arches, bypassing the long corridor, and entering the main hall where they met guests.
There is a middle-aged man with a pretty face in the hall drinking tea.
"Sir Father!"
"My foolish nephew Zhang Han has met Meng Shibo!" As soon as the two entered the door, Zhang Han saluted respectfully.
Meng Gong was very skilled in qi cultivation, with a calm temperament. With a smile on his face, he waved his hands to get up, stroked his long beard, stared at Zhang Han and looked at him carefully, nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, and your nephew's temperament has become more and more extraordinary. It turns out that he has extraordinary qualifications! I guess this study tour has gained a lot?"
"You are so despicable, and you really don't dare to be a uncle like this." Zhang Han said respectfully at this time: "This is the master's teaching and it is also the point of the elders. As for studying abroad, you have gained some gains."
"Well, that's good. By the way, the old lady at home is in good health?" Meng Gong asked with concern at this time.
"My mother is so nice!" Zhang Han replied respectfully.
In this way, after half an hour, Meng Gong finished his politeness. When it comes to his point, he just heard him say, "What poems does your husband have recently?"
Zhang Han replied respectfully: "Uncle Shi, Master has been busy teaching recently and has no poetry. The leader of the Qiang tribe is a friend of Master Shi. Now his son is going to get married. This time he comes to ask his senior brother to come and congratulate him."
"Since it was said by the gentleman, let's just do it, my son, you go once!" Meng Gong heard this, but he was neither happy nor angry and said calmly.
But Zhang Han knew very well what this dullness meant. His study tour over the past year also made him see more human nature and understand Meng Gong's meaning at this time.
After hearing this, Meng Liang responded, and there was nothing wrong. After saying some gossip, Zhang Han said goodbye, but Meng Gong didn't even stay.
At this time, Meng Liang sent him to the door and greeted each other. Zhang Han rode a ox cart and gradually left.
Almost at the same time, Li Huan was patrolling the newly established porridge shed at this time.
At this time, these refugees had washed and cleaned up their clothes, and had simple coarse clothes distributed, and were temporarily arranged in the open space, waiting in line to serve bowls of porridge.
The mixed grain porridge is rich and sweet, but it is a dew for these refugees. When they first arrived, the situation was extremely miserable. They were ragged, weak, and full of fear. It was also under the comfort of the hot porridge that they slowly relieved their emotions.
"I'll arrange to build a house tomorrow, and there are some bricks and wood." Seeing these people waiting in front of the porridge shed, Li Huan felt very uncomfortable, as if he had reappeared in the past. You must know that if it was a year ago, his family was not as miserable as this, it would have been almost the same.
Therefore, the situation in front of him often made him feel special. At this time, at the city gate, several ox carts were driven in, carrying farm tools on the ox carts.
"I have met Shangguan, but fortunately I have not been humiliated. This time I bought eleven plowing oxen." A small official came up to report.
Li Huan nodded and said in public with emotion: "With this batch of oxen and the farm tools created by the workshop, these people will have a way out. This is all the blessings and grace of Your Highness!"
After drinking the porridge, someone took these people to the bulletin board outside the yamen. Naturally, someone told the rules here one by one, especially the future distribution and taxation of the land.
These refugees were all silent and listened intently in the cold wind, which was related to their future. Now that they have the hope of survival, no one will ignore it.
After Li Huan saw it, he went elsewhere. Now, there are few days when refugees move in. This is not surprising. The Wei army is raging, and in winter, he wants to eat grass roots and tree bark, so he has no food, so he can only ask for food everywhere.
Moreover, not long after Jinguan City was defeated, and the war in Shu was still not decided, so the number of refugees naturally would not be small. In addition, the news of where to survive was spread by those who were interested, it spread quickly, and it was not surprising that refugees were in constant flow.
