Chapter 90: The Old Lady of the Ruined Hou Mansion (24)

In June of that year, there were floods in Dinghai, and many people were killed and injured. There were famines, and the epidemic was severe in July, and corpses were everywhere. In August, there were chaos. There were many righteous troops gathered, and people who killed officials and rebelled were endless, gathering millions of troops.

In September of that year, western Fujian had a severe drought, and the people had no harvest, and they were famined, and people fed each other. In November of that year, the northern border recruited barbarians to enter the pass, and they were in danger of nine cities, and they were approaching the capital, and the world was in chaos.

As bad news came, not only were the court extremely chaotic, but the ministers and nobles were all shirking their responsibilities. Under the court, the capital was also panicked. Many timids even began to gather their families and planned to move to the south. After all, not all places in the south were affected, and the area in Jiangnan was quite good.

You can't blame everyone for being so panicked. It's really everyone knows that there may not be any generals in the court. The British Duke died a few years ago due to the conquest of barbarians. Duke Li also died of old illness two years ago. The generals who had intimidated for a while were old. They were either dead or injured. Most of these generals have no successors. This does not mean that they have no descendants, but that their descendants are different from them. They either become civil officials or have not practiced martial arts much. They are just playboys.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

In this case, who can feel at ease if anyone who knows the civil and military situation of the court has some understanding of the situation?

As the situation became more and more serious, the barbarians captured more and more places. Even Wen Qilian, who had never listened to the government news, hurried home in panic. He rarely stepped into Qiaomu's yard and wanted to ask Qiaomu if he wanted to move out of the capital quickly.

In the yard, beside the old tree, Qiao Mu looked at Wen Qilian like a fool: "I think you have been scared these days. Do you think we are those rich businessmen? If you want to leave, we are the Hou Mansion.

If you want to leave the capital, you have to apply to the higher authorities. How do you apply? Because you are worried that the capital will be broken, do you have to escape quickly?

I think you're crazy!"

As if it was the first time I met this son, Qiao Mu looked at him back and forth a few times in surprise, and even wondered if this son was lost. Although their Marquis' Mansion is not as powerful as the Prince's Mansion, the treatment in many aspects is the same as that in the Prince's Mansion, such as not being able to leave the capital casually, not doing many things, etc.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Fortunately, their family does not have troops. If they have troops on their side, there will probably be more restrictions.

This is basically common sense.

"Mom, of course I know these things, but the barbarian has already reached the northern part of Jilin. You must know that after passing the northern part of Jilin, it will be Kyoto, and the two sides are only a thousand miles apart. If we don't leave quickly, once the barbarian enters the city, I'm afraid...

Don't worry, I have already agreed to leave the whole family together. Even if the emperor is a little dissatisfied, he should not blame everyone."

Of course, Wen Qilian couldn't have thought of leaving. He heard the relevant news while having tea with his friends outside, and then discussed the future situation with his friends for a while, and then decided.

"When the law does not blame the masses, the matter does not matter to oneself can the law does not blame the masses. If you touch the reverse scale, you still think about it. Are you joking? You fool!&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Don't worry, I have already arranged the matters in the mansion. Not to mention the invasion of the barbarians, even if Emperor Ming Ling wants to confiscate the house now, I have some ways to take our family safely away. You don't have to worry about these things, go back and play with yours."

Qiaomu was about to be angry and laughed.

If the law does not blame the masses, it depends on the situation. There are many people when rebelling. When you have seen the law above, there are no more people? In some cases where there is no more rule over the law above, it is possible to achieve the law that does not blame the masses. Once the law can truly touch the foundation of rule over the upper part, or the dignity above, no matter how many people there are.

It's normal to kill with one stick.

"Mom, stop joking. What I told you is true. You have not had much contact with those generals. But I have had tea and chat with those generals every day. Not only do they eat empty wages, but they are almost always perfunctory in training. Some of their troops have not even been trained for four or five years, and their military equipment is even more abandoned.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Just like this kind of army, where can they resist the invasion of those barbarians? You don’t know how cruel those barbarians are. When you go to a place, they will burn, kill, loot, and do everything evil. Sometimes, once you get angry, they may even massacre the city.

We must be careful.

I have already thought about it. We can find a few substitutes to stay in the mansion first, and we will leave the capital and go to other safe places to stay. If the capital is fine, we will rush back then. If there is something wrong with the capital, we can save our lives."

Wen Qilian felt that he was almost dying of anxiety. Why was his mother so stubborn? Those barbarians should not be too cruel. Just thinking that those barbarians had already reached thousands of miles away, he felt goose bumps all over his body and was a little scared.

After hearing this, Qiaomu turned his head and smiled, "I thought you wanted to escape so openly, but I didn't expect that I had some plans.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Don't worry, those barbarians can't get in.

Several big cities near northern Hebei have begun to mobilize troops to help. Although they may not be able to completely eliminate the barbarians, it is still fine to be stalemate for two or three months. The barbarians have no determination to go south at all. When they can no longer be stalemate, they will naturally retreat."

Qiao Mu is really not worried at all.

Through business in recent years, she has set up a primary information network across the country. She may know much more about the information than the emperor. The barbarians here are still gathered in the form of a great khan, and there is no tendency to establish a country and become kings. Therefore, as long as it is not completely unresisting here, there is no need to worry about the barbarians entering the capital. Compared to those barbarians, it is better to worry about the peasant uprising in Dinghai in the south and western Fujian in the west!

"This...how did you know about the military situation? Didn't the court still make a comeback?"

Wen Qilian was a little surprised.

"The so-called horses should not move, food and grass should go first. Just pay a little attention to the direction of the flow of food and grass. Recently, the Ministry of Revenue has allocated a lot of food and grass. Although there are still clamoring in the court, it is estimated that the Emperor had already ordered the Ministry of Revenue to transfer food.

Don’t think that Emperor Mingling was foolish when he was in his sixties. He had a clear mind. He knew very well that the world was his own world. Don’t worry about these things. If something really happened, I would definitely make decisions in advance.”

Qiao Mu explained a few casually, but he was unwilling to continue saying anything more, so he quickly drove Wen Qilian away, and then began to write a letter to inform Hu Yinglong to continue to recruit refugee rebels.

In short, the more people, the better. In this era, demographic dividend is always the best thing to use. It is rare to have this opportunity to attract a large number of people. You must not seize the opportunity and you must not miss it.
