The reason why they did not clear them all was because they were afraid that if they opened the hole too much at once, the victims would rush forward, which would lead to stampedes and other accidents.
More than 100,000 people gathered in this area. Once a large-scale stampede occurred, not just one or two people would die, but hundreds or thousands.
After cutting a few holes in the barbed wire, Hu San took a loudspeaker and shouted: "Everyone, line up slowly, the food is over there, don't crowd! Everyone will have it. There are people who are sick. Go this way, there's a hospital over here."
When the victims saw this scene, they immediately cheered and shouted "Long live, long live!"
Some people have even begun to kneel down and kowtow to the soldiers of the Fourth Army.
Xia Yang built a temporary disaster relief headquarters. He asked people to count the number of these people, and at the same time, he turned some of these trucks into passenger cars. Pull some of the people to the rear.
The supplies there are more abundant and there are better medical conditions.
Behind this convoy, there are two car brigades, both of which were also dispatched from Shanxi by Xia Yang to deliver supplies to the victims here and transfer the victims to the rear.
At this time, these two car brigades had just finished assembling supplies and were coming here.
At the field hospital, Dai Caixi and the medical team members she brought with her have begun to accept patients.
Most of these patients are weak due to long-term malnutrition. They don't even have the strength to chew, so they can only restore their body functions bit by bit through infusions.
They mobilized a large amount of medical supplies from the rear and concentrated them in this area.
Not only that, Xia Yang also asked people to drive trucks to promote the central region of Henan, saying that there are disaster relief places in western Henan. Let more refugees get help here.
The reason why we can have so much grain is mainly because in the past two years, Xia Yang has been asking people to promote future hybrid wheat and other varieties in the western Henan and Shanxi regions. Chemical fertilizers are also used extensively.
The use of these later technological products will greatly increase agricultural output. The yield per acre of land can even be doubled tenfold.
This allows the limited land in western Henan and Shanxi to produce more food. Xia Yang collects part of this grain and then purchases part from farmers at a certain price. The remaining part can be kept by local farmers for their own consumption.
Although it only lasted two years, Xia Yang's granaries in western Henan and Shanxi were very full.
To relieve these hundreds of thousands of refugees, he even only needs to open a granary to be able to support it for a long time.
In addition, Shanxi and western Henan have not suffered large-scale droughts. And the summer harvest time is coming soon, and they will harvest a lot of food again.
Regarding the resettlement of refugees, Xia Yang had already started preparations a few months ago.
In western Henan and Shanxi, there is actually a lot of vacant land due to years of war.
A few months ago, Xia Yang asked his soldiers to start building habitable houses on the edges of these large-scale vacant lands.
At first, the commanders under Xia Yang did not understand why Xia Yang wanted to build houses here. Is it possible that he can bring all the people in the Japanese military area here to farm?
But now, they fully understand.
Because of the drought, a large number of refugees began to pour into Shanxi and western Henan.
The influx of these refugees will give these lands new owners.
With a new owner, the land will be sown with seeds in the summer. Especially since it's still summer, if they sow corn or sweet potato seeds, they can even have a big harvest in the fall.
In this way, the victims no longer even need Xia Yang to allocate food to them from the granary. Because the corn and sweet potatoes they grew were enough to solve their food problem.
Although these rough grains are not very delicious, compared to starving to death, for the victims, these grains are better than any delicacies from the mountains and seas.
More victims have heard the news that the western Henan region will accept refugees.
Not only that, they can even get land for farming and houses that can provide shelter from wind and rain.
These propagandas sound likeSo many victims simply didn¡¯t believe it. But when the propaganda trucks delivered the steamed buns to them, the victims immediately moved en masse to the western Henan region.
The loudspeakers on the promotional vehicles may deceive people, but the steamed buns that reach their mouths do not.
Resettling hundreds of thousands of refugees is definitely not an easy job.
Fortunately, Xia Yang had already made a lot of preparations a few months ago. He even set up a department to resettle victims in advance, specifically responsible for the resettlement of these refugees.
Such action was taken several months earlier than the Henan Provincial Government at the time.
The Henan Provincial Government, under the control of the Kuomintang Party at that time, did not begin to set up departments dedicated to the relief and resettlement of disaster victims until the famine was almost out of control and could not even be concealed.
When Chen Peiji, then chairman of the Henan Provincial Government, went to Chongqing to meet with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek again, it was already mid-June.
The chairman of the committee had just returned from India. In the courtyard of his residence, he asked Chen Peiji directly: "I read the report that more than a thousand people died in the famine in Henan."
"Yes, more than a thousand people." Chen Peiji nodded.
The chairman thought for a while and then asked: "Tell the truth, how many people actually died?"
Chen Peiji looked at him for a while and then said: "Actually there are more than two million people. If if Commander Xia hadn't set up porridge shacks to resettle refugees in western Henan, there might have been as many as three. Millions of people."
