Song Xiao

Chapter 94 Taiyuan Chaos

The wind and snow did not stop all night. At dawn, Taiyuan City, which was originally Fule Kangning, seemed to be shocked by the earthquake and tsunami, and suddenly fell into panic and chaos.

This moment has finally come...

The government officially issued a list of articles and reported to the whole government. It is known that all the military and civilian female messengers have assassinated Tong Guan, and the envoy will go south to invade and Song Jin has already started a war!

Zhang Xiaochun is worthy of being an old-fashioned official. Although it is a document, it shows the foundation. His words were very exquisite, and he completely blamed the truth. He said that they lost faith and were ambitious to invade the Song Dynasty, and sent someone to assassinate Marshal Tong Guan in Hedong Town in advance.

This move is pre-catching and preconceived, which will be very helpful to guide public opinion and win more support for the government and army in Taiyuan. Thus, the nature of the battle of Song and Jin, which has not yet officially started, has been determined - that is, the invasion of the maidens!

The 40,000 victorious troops brought by Wang Yu from outside the city were scattered all over the city of Taiyuan, beware of riots and turbulence.

Even so, the whole city of Taiyuan is also like a plague, and countless people have begun to take the whole family to escape. However, there are strict checkpoints at the gate, prohibiting anyone from carrying too much food out of the city.

At the critical juncture of life and death in this disaster, all the laws and morals have been left behind, so the sergeants who are strictly enforced by death orders often break out in conflict with the people who are eager to leave the city. In the half-day time from morning to noon, more than 100 people were arrested and more than 30 were injured.

Chu Tianya took his 300 army patrol and walked in Taiyuan City.

The prosperity and bustle of the past have been completely replaced by chaos and panic. The shops and shops all closed their doors, and it was obvious that the gentry people, who were pushing the car and carrying their bags, ran around in a hurry. Tangming Street, which used to be full of traffic, is now deserted and withered; the tiles and railings that are drunk with paper and confused people's eyes are also closed. Signs and lanterns scattered on the ground can be seen everywhere.

At the Sifang City Gate, countless people crowded and collide there, and men and women cried for the sky and the earth. That situation was a hundred times more fierce than the grandeur of a certain dynasty during the Spring Festival travel rush, and bloody conflicts broke out from time to time.

After all, people are afraid of death. Especially after enjoying a hundred years of peace, the people are rich. How many people can really give up wealth and peace and be willing to be a haunted ghost?

Between morning and evening, it is like a watershed between heaven and hell.

Chu Tianya took people to patrol the city and arrested several bandits and hooligans who stole into shops and houses to steal and abuse women while taking advantage of the chaos in the city. Two of them were very bad. Chu Tianya was called to cut down on the street. The corpses were hung high in the city, and the list was publicized as an example.

After a day's inspection, Chu Tianya found that eight out of ten households in Taiyuan City were about to flee south. The remaining family, either has no relatives and can't escape, or is poor and has no love to escape anywhere, or they can't give up their hometown and ancestral business, so they risk to stay behind.

But there are really few people who are willing to believe that the government and the army can defeat the Jurchens and protect the city.

Chu Tianya was secretly chilled. It seems that the government and army of the Song Dynasty have such an impression in the eyes of the people!

In addition, there are also sergeants of the victorious army and soldiers and government officials supported by Taiyuan Prefecture who also want to escape. For these people, it is another set of standards - as long as you dare to escape, it is a severe punishment by the national law and the military law, and it will never be tolerated!

The country and the army have paid for you for so long. When something happens that needs you, how dare you run away? - Kill without mercy!

At this point, Chu Tianya has the same attitude as Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun!

At the end of the day, the victory and victory army guarding the city gate took away countless grains from the fleeing refugees. Because the military order is very strict now, they don't dare to take a gold and a silver. It is not harsh to leave gold and silver plates for those refugees to buy food on the way to escape.

This matter was spread by word of mouth, and soon everyone knew about it. So those who wanted to flee did not dare to bring too much food, or took the initiative to give it to the army, and only took a day or two of dry food to escape.

In this way, the work of inspection becomes easier, there are fewer conflicts, and the speed of people fleeing out of the city is greatly accelerated.

All the grain collected was handed over to the treasury for centralized management. The person in charge of the treasury is Chu Tianya.

A steady stream of food is transported from everywhere, and there will be not enough manpower. Chu Tianya went to Wang Yu's place to ask for orders and asked him to send a thousand sergeants to be responsible for strictly guarding the treasury - in the future, this is the heart and stomach of all the Taiyuan soldiers and civilians. How can there be any mistake?

Chu Tianya also temporarily formulated the treasury storage system and grain distribution methods, and reported to the whole city's soldiers and civilians.

Among them are two strict orders: From now on, whoever dares to take a grain of grain from the treasury will be beheaded; regardless of the army and the people, whoever dares to waste food from now on will be punished by flogging, punishing slaves and beheading according to the seriousness of the circumstances!

As for the grain distribution method, Chu Tianya probably borrowed the "planned economy" method to issue grain tickets to the army and the people in the city, and distribute them according to the plan.

Often in such a period of national disaster, there will be illegal merchants hoarding, and Taiyuan at this time is no exception. Perhaps these businessmen have not realized that it will not be long before gold and silver will become as worthless as stones, and they still want to make a fortune in a national disaster.

In just one day, Chu Tianya personally kicked through several such treacherous businesses, dragged these people out and threw them on the street, and then confiscated the grain they hoarded mercilessly and took them into the treasury.

In just three days, Taiyuan Mansion, which originally shined like a pearl in Hedong, has changed from a peaceful world of living and working in peace and contentment to a chaotic situation where everyone is in danger.

Due to the iron-fisted law enforcement in the past few days, Chu Tianya is also famous. Now, not many people who stay in Taiyuan City know that the "Dragon City Taibao" in the past has turned into a murderous and ruthless demon. He asked people to do the corpses hanging in several places in the city; several rich families had nothing in an instant, and it was he who led people to do it; if anyone wants to continue to live in this city, he has to ask for food stamps from him; whether it is a former high-ranking official or a beggar and exile on the street, he is treated equally! No matter who is, if he is willing to take the initiative to help build the city defense or contribute to the army, he can get the grain ticket first! - He has 1,000 non-commissioned officers and 300 army patrols, and has firmly grasped the intestines of the army and the people of the whole city!

Chu Tianya himself knows that now I don't know how many people want to kill him, and I don't know how many people are grateful to him. He left all this behind and didn't want to think about it.

Guan Shan once said that those who dare to be pioneers have always had a mixed reputation.

Chu Tianya, I think so.
