Chapter 109 Refugees
"There is no official statistics on the number of people, but it is roughly estimated that the number exceeds 10,000."
"The refugees come from a country called Shun. A severe drought in the northwest of this country has produced a large number of refugees. Now this group of refugees has not eaten for several days and is hungry for a long time."
When Di Feng returned from the information given by Hu Ping, he thought about it and wrote out the order.
"Immediately organize the territorial militia to prepare to maintain order and free up a large amount of food. In addition, after the guards return with the supplies, they will return with the militia."
"Order, the Third Brigade of the First Border Guard Battalion and the subordinate cavalry squadron temporarily organize the refugees to stop in the newly developed area and wait for arrangements."
Orders were issued one by one, and the cavalry rushed them to the hands of the people in charge.
In Qinghe City, Zhang Xiu, who was dealing with government affairs sent from various places, suddenly received an urgent order from Di Feng. "There are tens of thousands of refugees approaching, ready to receive them."
For a moment, Zhang Xiu couldn't care less about the affairs in his hands. He put down the affairs in his hands and immediately called his attendants and said loudly.
"Immediately summon all the militiamen in Qinghe City and get their weapons. Order the Logistics Department to mobilize one hundred carts of meat and one hundred carts of grain from the warehouse, and organize all the chefs in the city and bring kitchen utensils.
In addition, call for the heads of each department and ask them to come quickly."
"Okay, I'll do it."
Di Feng's order was conveyed to Zhang Xiu, and from Zhang Xiu's hands to the heads of various departments in Qinghe City.
Soon, the heads of various departments in Qinghe City and the heads of various departments in the Lord's Mansion came to the conference room.
"This time, I called you here so urgently because this morning, news came from the north that a large number of refugees suddenly appeared and are now rushing towards the territory.
The total number of this group of refugees is more than 10,000, and our territory’s current total population is less than 20,000. Now that so many refugees have suddenly arrived, it is a huge challenge to our territory.
We must resettle these refugees quickly, otherwise the chaos of so many refugees will be enough for us to be unable to take care of."
When Zhang Xiu opened his mouth, more than 10,000 refugees needed to be resettled. For a moment, the heads of various departments present were shocked.
"General Administrative Officer, please give the order directly." Below, a person in charge said. "It's already this time, and those refugees will probably come here soon."
"That's okay." Zhang Xiu looked around and saw that everyone present had no problems, so he said.
"Now, I have mobilized the militia of Qinghe City to maintain order among the refugees. When the time comes, the lord will also arrive with the troops of the Imperial Guard.
Therefore, the security department asked you not to deal with it for the time being. In addition, Logistics Department, please mobilize the grain to be loaded onto the truck."
"Yes." Zhang Xiuli, director of the Logistics Department, nodded from her seat. "No problem, I will load the car immediately."
"In addition, Department of Education, the orphanage under your jurisdiction has organized manpower and is ready to accept orphans who may be among the refugees."
"Okay." Li Ziqing from the Department of Education replied seriously.
"Medical Department, you should immediately organize manpower to carry out epidemic prevention and rescue personnel. In addition, there are wounded in this battle, so you must leave manpower behind."
"We can urgently deploy a group of medical staff here." Su Ziyu nodded. "It will not have any impact on the existing hospitals."
"In addition, Engineering Division, you are prepared to take in the craftsmen and their families among the refugees."
"Each department will select a group of petty officials and organize them. I'm afraid this time a group of new villages will be established in the territory, and suitable people will be selected to serve as village managers."
…
Zhang Xiu issued orders one after another, and all departments received their tasks. They each returned to their respective departments and immediately organized manpower to start handling matters.
This time, they were suddenly prepared to accept so many refugees, and the Qinghe territorial official system that Di Feng had worked so hard to perfect showed its effect.
Immediately, under the leadership of Zhang Xiu, various tasks were handed down, and soon all preparations were completed. In the shortest possible time, a long motorcade was prepared in Qinghe City and headed north.
At the same time, Hu Ping led the refugee team to the position where the first border defense battalion had just advanced. In the distance, the crowd could be seen approaching.
At this time, the Daodi Army had been ordered to bring their cavalry troops and organized a squadron of troops to gather together to prepare to guide this group of refugees.
"Cavalry troops, go and notify the refugees to stop outside the border and wait for arrangements." As the refugees approached, Di Jun said.
After receiving the order, the cavalry rode on their war horses and walked around the refugees in fear, shouting loudly as they walked.
"Everyone, stop moving forward and wait for arrangements."
While shouting over and over again, the first refugees to arrive were stopped by the third group and began to gather at the border. Seeing the cavalry in full armor and riding tall horses, these refugees were a little afraid and did not dare to disobey.
"Captain Hu Ping, what's going on?" In the team, a group of clan elders and village chiefs found Hu Ping and asked with horror and dissatisfaction on their faces.
"Why don't you let us in? Besides, there is nothing here and there is wasteland everywhere. Are you lying to us?"
Looking at the movements of these cavalry, Hu Ping also knew what the territory was going to do. Hu Ping, who knew the resettlement process for the refugees, comforted everyone.
"What's the point of lying to you? This is just the border of our territory. We haven't reached a place to accommodate you yet, and it will take time to mobilize supplies. Now let everyone wait here. Someone will soon come to arrange food and supplies for you.
They will be available wherever you live.”
Under the deterrence of the cavalry and the maintenance of peace, the entire refugee team began to stop and gather at the border. As the saying goes, once the number of people exceeds 10,000, it is boundless. This group of refugees with more than 10,000 people also puts pressure on the third brigade that maintains order.
huge.
If these refugees attack, the third brigade is only more than 200 people, and there is no way they can stop them.
However, after quickly stabilizing the refugees, Hu Ping led the prospecting team to find the Di Army who was maintaining order at the border.
"Captain Di Jun, I am Hu Ping. How is the territory dealing with this group of refugees now?" Hu Ping asked.
"I don't know yet." Seeing that it was one of his own, Di Jun explained. "The order I received now is to keep these refugees at the border. If Captain Hu Ping is okay, please help me maintain order.
"
"good."
Hu Ping nodded.
"I have two teams of soldiers here who can also help a little."
While Hu Ping and Di Jun were settling the refugees and blocking the border, the leading team organized by Zhang Xiu had arrived. Hundreds of militiamen were driving large vehicles, each of which was filled with food.
The convoy stopped a hundred meters from the border. The militiamen began to set up stoves, and the chefs who had been summoned began to cook porridge with grains.
For the refugees who have been hungry for a long time, the first meal must be unsatisfactory porridge to prevent the refugees from eating too much and starving themselves to death. However, in Qinghe Territory, because of the previous bison herd, meat was also piled up like food, so the first meal of these refugees was
One meal is meat porridge with a lot of diced meat added.
