Chapter 731: Tongguan Road
Xiang Ningxuan doesn’t have to worry about the aftermath of Shendu. After seeing the strength of the Longxiang Army, the local snakes in Shendu understood that if the Republic is serious, killing them is like killing a chicken.
At this time, of course, you must put your tail away obediently and cooperate with your superiors with all your strength. If you cannot become a local emperor, you must at least maintain your current status.
The identification of more than 100,000 River God Cultists seems to be very troublesome, and there are still remnants of River God Cult in other areas that need to be cleaned up, but as long as the gods work together, they will roughly sort out the thread in two or three days, and the rest can be carried out according to the rules.
Xiang Ningxuan was too lazy to care about such trivial matters and threw them all to Mayor's Secretary Dai Ming to deal with. As for Mayor Pei Zhengqian, except for such a big thing, he had already returned to Beijing to report his work, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to come back.
Xiang Ningxuan was not idle either. He led people to copy the river god's nest located on the bed of the Yellow River, and then took Dasheng Yu and sent aquariums to send messages to various monsters upstream and downstream of the Yellow River, hoping to discuss water transportation with everyone.
Those water monsters acted as a mighty man in the river, but they actually couldn't make much money. On the contrary, like the river god, let Luo Deng run a shipping company and monopolize water transportation, and earned much more money than robbing the family. The wealthy partner is the first place, and the river god is rich, so he grew up the fastest after Xiangliu's death.
What Xiang Ningxuan has to do is to use money to open up the water transport of the Yellow River: find a group of water monsters who are willing to cooperate, and give them part of the water transport benefits, so that they can help escort or clean up those disobedient guys.
With the river god as an example, Xiang Ningxuan believes that most wise water monsters will make the right choice.
After three days of delay in the gods, Xiang Ningxuan finally led the fleet to continue moving forward. The water monsters along the way already knew that this was a raptor crossing the river and had long been away. There were only a few reckless water monsters who were scattering their heads and launched two futile attacks. However, several aquariums took the initiative to join.
On the afternoon of June 15, the transport fleet arrived at the wharf near Tongguan. Part of the Yong army retreated here, and most of the refugees who escaped from Xianyang gathered here.
Hu Fumin greeted him at the dock. He was an official sent by Sijiucheng to take over the civil affairs of Yongzhou. When Xiang Ningxuan went to join the transport fleet, he rushed to Yongzhou by a special plane. He had been in Tongguan for several days at this time.
As soon as Xiang Ningxuan arrived, he couldn't wait to find a conference room and went straight into the cabin.
"Bang!" Hu Fumin punched the table and said angrily: "This bastard Zhou Chenglin, on the excuse of mobilizing troops and food, ran back to Nanzheng. He left such a mess!"
"What's wrong?" Xiang Ningxuan was not sure about the situation.
"Hmph, this kid probably didn't get the position of commander of the Yong army, so he's just leaving the stolen." Hu Fumin sneered, "I'm so irresponsible, and I'm so qualified to take over as commander for personal gain? Even if you're transferred in the future, I'll ask the central government to send someone else."
Then, Hu Fumin talked about the research on the past few days one by one.
Due to the hasty escape, the refugees did not carry food and other daily necessities, and the urgently mobilized materials around the surrounding area were difficult to meet everyone's needs.
Qin Luohan, the civil magistrate of Yongzhou, surrendered to Qin, and no one organized the refugees in Xianyang. Refugees who were tortured by hunger, disease, and pain had a fierce conflict with the local people in Tongguan in order to compete for physical objects and other resources.
The evil that was originally suppressed by order suddenly got rid of the shackles. The refugee camps were in chaos and people were depressed. It was common for them to steal, rob, kill and rob. When illegal crimes were not punished as they deserved, criminals would become more arrogant and domineering. Many gang leaders became the leaders of refugee camps in a grand manner.
Rumors are everywhere in the refugee camps and cults are active. Adult men can always earn a bite of food when working hard, while beautiful women can still sell their bodies. The remaining elderly, weak, sick and disabled have no support, and the resentment and resentment in their hearts are often bewitched and used by cults, and they do absurd behaviors that ordinary people cannot understand.
The ugliness of all the apocalyptic novels can be seen in the nearby refugee camps. Bodies are thrown out of the refugee camps almost every day.
There are about 200,000 to 300,000 refugees who escaped from Xianyang, and the detailed figures cannot be counted. At present, at least one-tenth of them have died. Half of them were killed by monsters, and half were killed by others.
Even Hu Fumin encountered robbery and blackmail when he went to investigate. After he revealed his identity, several vicious robbers actually planned to kill people to silence them. Fortunately, he brought two elite guards to kill the robbers.
Hu Fumin sighed, "To be honest, although Qin Luohan surrendered to Qin, he at least saved hundreds of thousands of people in Xianyang. The First Emperor did not start a massacre, but the escaped people were killed and injured. It's ironic. Such losses are directly related to Zhou Chenglin's inaction, and he must be responsible for it."
Before Xiang Ningxuan came, he learned that Zhou Chenglin started his career in Nanzheng, and defeated the zombies in the Nanzheng area with one sword and one shot, integrating them. Nanzheng was originally a semi-independent area in Yongzhou, and Zhou Chenglin had good abilities and skills. Nanzheng was not inferior to Xianyang in terms of economic and military strength.
But Xianyang is the capital of Yongzhou, and Cui Guan, who commanded the Xianyang army, was appointed as the commander of the Yong army. Zhou Chenglin was very dissatisfied at that time, and he did not advance this time, so he probably was already crazy.
It is reasonable to give up the job.
But it doesn't mean that Xiang Ningxuan agrees. Everyone has different positions, and Zhou Chenglin is also very upset when he leaves a mess.
However, Xiang Ningxuan comforted him: "Okay, Zhou Chenglin will pack up in the future. I brought the food here, so you can quickly organize people to move it. The most urgent task is to stabilize the lives of refugees as soon as possible."
In addition to the food from the base, when Xiang Ningxuan left Shendu, he requisitioned Luo Deng's shipping company ships. Cultists have no human rights, and although some people have withdrawn from the education, they will still be punished. The most effective punishment is to reduce the rations and the allocation of daily necessities. The extra materials were brought over by Xiang Ningxuan.
Hu Fumin shook his head and sighed: "Food is one aspect, and there is another big problem, how to regain confidence in refugees. Before you come, I went to the refugee for a survey. The refugee organizations have collapsed, they are frightened, numb, and distrustful. Refugee camps are often controlled by bullies, and even if they distribute food, they may not fall into the hands of those who need it. We have too few people to control them at all."
"So, we must first restore order and restore people's hearts, right?" Xiang Ningxuan said, "By the way, where are the garrisons and civil officials in Tongguan?"
Hu Fumin gritted his teeth and said, "The garrison commander took the troops to the front line to build positions under the pretext of defending the Qin army. Civil officials said that due to the arrival of refugees, they seriously violated the interests of local people. They frequently had vicious cases such as murder, robbery, and theft. They were too busy to take care of themselves and had no energy to take care of the refugees."
"Damn Lao Hu, you should deal with such disobedient guys. Look at them! I will let them cooperate obediently tomorrow."
