"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 172
The street in front of the granary gate of Xilin Mansion was already packed, and the skinny refugees in ragged clothes were scrambling forward.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, everyone can get food!"
A Qinghe army soldier holding a tin horn stood on a grain truck, shouting at the top of his lungs to maintain order.
However, too many refugees came after hearing the news, and many local people who were struggling in dire straits also came with food bags, which exacerbated the congestion.
During the months of war in Qinghe Province, most of the people fled to the mountains or the neighboring Gyeonggi Province.
The officials of Gyeonggi Province naturally do not want so many refugees to enter the city, because a large number of refugees will cause serious security problems.
However, more and more refugees gathered outside the city. Now that the Qinghe Army captured Xilin Mansion, the refugees who had nowhere to go heard that food was distributed in the city. If they wanted to survive, they would naturally not miss this chance to survive.
"It's really hard for these Limin people."
Seeing those scrawny old and weak women and children with empty eyes, Chen Ziang, the cold-blooded and ruthless general on the battlefield, couldn't help but sigh.
As long as the Far Eastern Dynasty can treat these common people better and let them have land to cultivate, they will not leave their homes and raise their flags to rebel.
However, the Far Eastern dynasty has been rotten to the bone, especially those three major clans wantonly annexing land in various provinces.
The common people who have lost their land will either become tenants of the aristocratic family, and most of the hard work will be handed over to the aristocratic family.
If they are not tenants, they can only leave their homes and go outside to beg for food, but now the famine continues, there is no place to beg for food.
But if these people want to live, they can¡¯t just starve to death. Those who are timid eat wild vegetables and grass roots, and those who are brave enough can¡¯t bear it anymore, they will intercept and kill official food, so that the public security situation in various places continues to deteriorate.
The Qinghe Army that Chen Ziang and the others belonged to was originally formed by countless refugees who could not survive. They just wanted to struggle for a way to survive.
However, with the passage of time, their team, originally composed of refugees, has gradually become militarized and regularized.
Now that they have weapons in their hands and the ability to protect themselves and obtain food, they are naturally no longer satisfied with just seeking a way to survive.
In Chen Zi'ang's view, the political system of the Far Eastern Dynasty has become rigid, and the corruption of officials at all levels has further deepened the dynasty's slide into the abyss.
The officials of the Far Eastern Dynasty would rather put money in their own pockets than open warehouses to distribute food to the victims. Now Chen Ziang did it for them.
They can borrow flowers to present Buddha, but they can't do it in a daze, at least let the people who have been given the food know who gave them the food.
"Go find some white cloth and write some slogans."
"Look for a few more eloquent aides, I have something to tell them."
Chen Ziang gave the order immediately, and soon the soldiers got a lot of white cloth from a cloth shop, and several staff members who accompanied the army rushed over one after another.
"Conquer the government office, divide the fields, everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone has food to eat!"
"Open the warehouse and release the grain, so that no one will starve to death!"
Under Chen Zi'ang's order, these found white cloths were soon filled with slogans and pasted in prominent places in Xilin Mansion City.
Most of the refugees are peasants who have cultivated the fields for generations, so naturally they don't recognize what is written on these slogans.
The staff of the Qinghe Army came into play at this time. They stood under these slogans and shouted loudly.
"We are the troops of Qinghe Army Hussar General Chen Ziang, and we are here to save the people of Liming!"
"I hope that everyone will take action to overthrow the decadent Far Eastern dynasty, open warehouses to release grain, retake their own land, and let everyone have clothes and food"
These aides accompanying the army are not good at fighting in battle formations, but what they are good at is using pens as knives, killing without blood.
Under their propaganda, the refugees who received the food finally knew who gave them the food.
"Thank you General Chen, General Chen is a good man!"
Countless people who received the life-saving food prostrated themselves on the ground one by one, grateful to Chen Ziang and the Qinghe Army.
The people who have been oppressed for a long time have become soft in their bonesWeak, they received the food, although they were grateful to Chen Ziang.
But let them take up arms and fight against the Far Eastern Dynasty, they still have some resistance in their bones. After all, they have been obedient citizens for a long time, and it is difficult to stand up in a short time.
Chen Ziang naturally understands the psychology of these people, because they just want to survive now, they have already received the food, and they don't need to worry about survival in a short time.
But once their lives are threatened again, with Chen Ziang's propaganda this time, I'm afraid they will rise up and resist, because only by resisting can they have food and survive.
On the one hand, Chen Ziang opened warehouses in the city to release grain, and on the other hand, he rewarded his brothers with a large amount of gold and silver treasures.
"Brothers, you are the most valiant soldiers of the Qinghe Army. You captured the Xilin Mansion, opened warehouses to release grain, and saved countless Liming people. I am proud of you!"
Chen Zi'ang assembled the dusty cavalry, personally lectured them, and rewarded them.
Chen Ziang instilled in them an idea that they did not fight for gold and silver treasures, but to save the people of Liming in the world.
These cavalrymen personally participated in distributing food to the people, and the people were also grateful to them, and they were already very comfortable in their hearts.
Now being praised by Chen Ziang in public, these cavalrymen straightened up like javelins, and a strong sense of pride surged in their hearts.
"Now these gold and silver treasures are rewarded to you as a reward for your courageous killing of the enemy. This is what you deserve!"
"There are still more vicious battles waiting for us, and there are still thousands of Liming people waiting for us to save. I hope you can maintain strict military discipline and be brave and good at fighting as always!"
"The Qinghe army is mighty!"
When Chen Ziang shouted loudly, he fisted his chest with his right hand, demonstrating the bravery of an iron-blooded soldier.
"The Qinghe army is mighty!"
The eight thousand cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army also clenched their right fists and hit their chests one after another, letting out deafening low roars.
The soldiers of the Qinghe Army didn't know that they fought in the past just to survive.
But now, they already have a new goal, a new belief, and that is to save more suffering people of Dawn.
Although this belief is still a little vague in their minds, they feel proud when they see the scenes of their hungry and cold people receiving food and thanking them.
Facing the respectful and grateful eyes of the common people, many soldiers who do not have strict military discipline are embarrassed to bully the common people. Subtly, this army is undergoing transformation. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
