Chapter 206 Repression of Barbarians and Relief of Disasters
The scorching sun is like fire, sprinkled down, which only makes people feel like it is burning on the charcoal fire. Even if it is the bricks and stones of the city wall, it is very hot to touch.
At the head of the city, Lin Yuan looked down at the thousands of members of the Hakka family. His eyes couldn't help flashing with anger, and his hand suddenly slapped on the mouth.
The reckless people can only add trouble. At present, as soon as the drought starts, it roars. Isn't it going to panic and mess up the people's actions before?
The sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes swept over the city. The mountain people with his body were shouting randomly, which made him feel that his chest was stuffy.
The left and right soldiers have already waved their bows and pulled strings, put on feather arrows, the scorching sun, and there was a cold halo on the arrow.
"Your Excellency, Chen Shan really doesn't know what's good or bad. The brothers are ready. It's better to put a few rounds of arrows, so that he won't be bored there."
Hearing the words, Lin willing closed his eyes and turned to look at the talking team. "It's hot and angry. Although Chen Shan is a fool, how dare he attack the city? The drought in each state and state is rising, and it must be the people's panic. If the arrow is released and hurts his life, won't it add trouble to Lord Yang?
Hearing this low shout, the talking team couldn't help but retreat to one side, but at this time, a figure passed by him quickly. "I'm injured. I'd like to see what these unruly people can do!"
To be determined, it turned out to be to appease the adult. His face was gloomy and scary, and there was a terrible murderous atmosphere all over his body.
He waved his hand to the people of Lin Yuan who were saluteing. Yang Yanzhao held the thick banyan bow in one side of the soldier's hand and pulled the bow like a full moon. "General Lin, who is the consular person?"
Seeing this situation, Lin Yuan couldn't help but be horrified. It's true that Chen Shan often came to Xinghua City, but if he really shot and killed, the Hakka family should not make trouble fiercely?
He was about to open his mouth to comfort him, but he heard Yang Yanzhao continue to ask. His tone was unquestionable. He couldn't. Lin Yuan could only point to the chaotic team in the city.
The man was burly, with a beard on his face, his hair tied behind his head, wearing a animal skin skirt, and his upper body was shiny.
A sneer flashed at the corners of his mouth. The arrow in Yang Yanzhao's hand immediately locked him. The arrow went empty. In a moment, he heard a scream. Lin Yuan hurriedly leaned over and saw Chen Shan holding the feather arrow on his shoulder and howling in pain.
He was relieved. It turned out that he was not going to kill him.
But at this time, Yang Yanzhao threw the string bow in his hand to one side and suddenly jumped down the head of the city. In this way, Lin Yuan hurried up and was in a hurry to order his soldiers to go out of the city to pick him up. At this time, Xiao Muchun and others arrived. Seeing that Yang Yanzhao had rushed down the head of the city, he roared and killed them out with the soldiers.
After Yang Yanzhao jumped down the head of the city, everyone who met the way was hit by him. After a few breaths, he came to Chen Shan, lifted him up with one hand, and then fell to the ground.
"Bum!"
A muffled sound made all the Hakka people dumbfounded, and the soldiers killed from the city behind them were at a loss.
He glanced at the timid Hakka people around him. Yang Yanzhao grabbed a firewood knife and broke it with his fingertips, "Don't find your own way to die!"
He shook his hand and inserted the broken knife on Chen Shan's cheek, which made him moan suddenly open his eyes and was so scared that he didn't say anything.
He turned around and stopped the soldiers of Xinghua City who were killing. In their doubtful eyes, Yang Yanzhao walked slowly to the city. Xiao Muchun and others followed, and the soldiers were called back by Lin Yuan on the top of the city.
Still can't kill anyone. The handle of the firewood knife in his hand was pinched into crumbs and spilled all the way. Yang Yanzhao took a few deep breaths before suppressing his anger in his heart.
Chen Shan was carried back by the clan. I'm afraid that after this incident, he was frightened, but he was much more obedient. In this way, although Fujian was affected by the disaster, there was no disturbance for the time being.
Seeing the end of July, the heat receded, but when the autumn was still hot, the people were extremely uncomfortable. They couldn't wait to hide in the ice cellar or find a piece of ice to swallow into their stomach, so that they would feel comfortable.
At this point, the disaster victims who were hiding from the wilderness also began to appear. Naturally, the disaster relief began in Xinghua City. Yang Yanzhao personally took people to serve porridge and cakes. For a while, all the counties under the county poured into the city.
Seeing the ragged and dirty people, Yang Yanzhao stepped up the relief and asked Lin Yuan to send people to patrol day and night, so as not to take this opportunity to do evil.
Although other state governments have opened warehouses and released grain one after another, they have not slowed down the influx of people to Xinghua City. As a last resort, Yang Yanzhao only transferred rice and grain from Fuzhou for emergency.
Since the displacement of the victims, the whole Fujian Road has been operating under the dispatch of Yang Yanzhao. Xiao Muchun and others have even led a battalion to patrol all states and counties. If there is a disadvantage in disaster relief, or those who are greedy for food and salary, they will be sent to prison or directly on the spot.
This move is conducive to the release of grain and relief. It's just that Xiao Muchun and others have been working hard all day long. They can only go back to Xinghua City for a rest in a few days. However, when they see Yang Yanzhao's busy night, they can't sleep. Even Luo's women and others are working hard. Lin Mo Niang is out day and night, applying medicine to treat diseases, and walking in grief and helplessness. Between the victims. The five and three thick men could not sit still. After reporting to Yang Yanzhao, he cleaned up a little and set out in a hurry and went to other states and counties.
The night has not faded, the morning has not been dyed, and there is little coldness left at night. In the west of the city, in front of the porridge shop, it has long been full of people who came to get some food.
The big iron pot was not far away. Several soldiers wore sweatshirts and struggled to stir the porridge cooked in the iron pot with a shovel. The wet clothes were attached to their backs, but there was no time to care about it. Their thoughts were all in the porridge full of pots. When they were empty, they also grabbed the towel cloth on their necks and wiped the sweat on their cheeks.
"It's boiling!"
The voice fell, and the depressed disaster victims suddenly came to their eyes. They looked at the barrel full of porridge and the white steamed buns and drooled.
In front of the porridge shop, Lin Mo Niang took a wooden scoop and divided it with porridge. Under the hot heat, she was not moved, and even her scattered hair was completely unknown.
After the porridge and steamed buns were divided, more than a dozen wooden carts pulled the water. These were all the water after refining and precipitated by sea salt. Although there was no sweet and refreshing feeling, at this time, it could only be done.
Dozens of buckets of water are put aside, with a team of soldiers guarding. Those who are thirsty can take it by themselves. Of course, you can only use seawater to change and wash in the sun.
After eating and drinking, He Yu will come with people. Although he is very reluctant because he is fat and afraid of heat, he can only come on time every day under the coercion and lure of Yang Yanzhao.
Seeing He Yu, those disaster victims suddenly swarmed up. Just because they followed him to do road and house building, they could get half a catty of rice every day. If they did a good job, they could even have some game.
Yesterday, Pan Laowu was lucky. Since he got half a pheasant, the fragrant and greedy group of people couldn't sleep all night, so He Yu was already a living Bodhisattva in their eyes at this time.
"Your Excellency, you want me. I, Li Erniu, is very strong and it is very easy to lift the masonry!"
"Your Excellency, I have built a house for others, and I must be good at doing things!"
......
Seeing the situation, He Yu's white and fat hands pressed, and the attendants around him picked out half of the people. The selected people were happy, and the people who fell could only be full of envy.
Looking at He Yu taking people away, not far away, Xu Shaoyang smiled and said, "This method is good, little brother. In this way, Xinghua City is going to turn around."
Guo Huai also nodded with praise. Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao shook his head helplessly. "Two brothers, the younger brother is really helpless. Otherwise, if so many people are full and have nothing to do, it's better to find something to kill time for them."
"It's true. Idleness is easy to make right and wrong."
He said a few more words. After seeing that Lin Mo Niang and Hua Gu examined the old, weak, sick and disabled in the simple camp, Xu Shaoyang strode over and, together with the two women, took the carriage driven by Zhu Rong and went to other states and counties.
"Mo Niang is really charitable."
Guo Huai whispered, these days, Lin Mo Niang is running around to help the disaster victims. She is getting thinner and thinner but unwilling to rest, which is very touching.
"Well, since the moment Mo Niang met her, she has been unusual. Her heart is in the place of the world. Now, entering my Taoist family is also a practice of merit and achieving her own perfection."
Yang Yanzhao looked at the carriage that was gradually fading away. At this moment, in his heart, he felt more and more that Lin Mo Niang might be Mazu. By chance, he met her and became a little uncle. If this matter is verified by later generations, I don't know what kind of sensation it should be?
"Brother Yanzhao is right. He has three thousand achievements and eight hundred yuan. It won't take long for my nephew to get the true meaning of his ancestors. It's really a blessing in my mountain gate."
He said a few more words. Yang Yanzhao looked around. Later, he was also the captain on duty here. After that, he looked at the south of the city and rushed there. There, Luo's daughter, Chai Qingyun and others were also busy. He had to rush over and have a look. Otherwise, he would never be relieved.
When Yang Yanzhao felt it, Luo's women and others were already busy and sweating. Seeing this, they wanted to come forward to help, while the people who knew him saluted one after another and said words of thanks.
He smiled and comforted the people and skillfully helped take care of the sick people. After everything was done, the sun had reached three poles. Even if he stood in the shade of the tree, he was sweating profusely.
Wiping his sweat and looking at the depressed women, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help saying sadly, "Yuer, Qinger, you take Bamei and Paifeng back to the house for a rest. You can't be exhausted."
"Liulang, I'm not tired. In a short time, I have to send lunch and meditate on Zhangzhou. The west of the city needs to be taken care of. I'll go there later."
"I don't feel tired either. What Sister Chai said is that it's hard for Sister Chai."
Hearing what the two women said, Yang Yanzhao could not say more, so he asked the waiting bodyguards to take Ba Mei and Pai Feng back to the house to rest. Although the two little girls practice martial arts, they were still children after all. They were exhausted, so they did not refuse.
When Yang Yanzhao was about to continue to tell the two women a few words, he saw that the team in leather armor was rushing, "Your Excellency, the messenger of the court has come. He has just entered the city and is going to Zhizhou Prefecture."
