355 Conquering Guanhai 1
After hearing this, Jiang Qin, Gan Ning, Zhang Chuang, Lu Su, and then breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Lu Ning continued, "The conquest of the Japanese island is not needed to be studied for the time being. We will consider it after the conquest of the Three Koreans. Now that you all know the situation of the Three Koreans, the work of the Three Koreans can come to an end for the time being. Let's talk about other aspects first."
After hearing this, Lu Su said, "The lord is talking about the government affairs in Donglai, right?"
Lu Ning nodded in recognition. This is a small base that you unintentionally opened up. Although the territory is small, its role is immeasurable. He is now the beachfront position of the Lu Ning Navy. As long as Donglai, this small beachfront position is located, then if Lu Ning Army wants to use troops to Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places in the next step, it will play a crucial role.
Lu Su continued: "Lord, Donglai has been almost disturbed by the Yellow Turban Army for many years. Even the officials have fled. The remaining people are only more than 20,000, and the others have all run away. Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, was powerless, and he didn't have much intention to put it in the barren land of Donglai. In addition, Donglai is poor and backward, and the Yellow Turban Army's rebellion, he basically gave up. Last year, Xingba and Zhang Chuang relieved Kong Rong's danger, he threw the unmanaged Donglai to us to resettle the Yellow Turban Army captured at that time. Of course, Donglai was not originally under the jurisdiction of Kong Rong, and he was just casual."
Gan Ning continued: "Lord, we didn't think so much at that time. We just wanted to have a place to place the prisoners and family members of the Yellow Turban Army, and the number of people needed was only more than 20,000. Since Kong Daru threw this barren land to us, we would have set up prisoners in Donglai. We did not expect that the situation would change like this. Donglai is the safest and most prosperous place in Qingzhou now."
Lu Su laughed and said, "Lord, Xingba and the others originally only resettled more than 20,000 Yellow Turban Army, but as the resettlement work progressed, the victims from other places in Qingzhou flocked to Donglai, and refugees flocked to him. In addition, the victims, refugees heard that Donglai was the lord who was resettling the people, which was amazing. Many people who had originally thought that our area had gone to the villages and households to Donglai. When we took over last year alone, by the end of the year, we had resettled about 140,000 or 50,000 refugees. This year, there were a large number of victims and refugees in Donglai. Now Donglai has no territory to resettle them. The population of Donglai has reached more than 300,000, and there are still 50,000 or 600,000 refugees who live in Donglai waiting for resettlement. We now send them to Bizhou with warships every day, and then Youzhou will send them to Zhaoyunzhou for resettlement."
After hearing this, Jiang Qin said helplessly: "Yes, lord, the locust disaster is getting worse and worse now. The grain crops in the fields are basically unreclaimed. Local governments do not care about the lives and deaths of the people. The people are desperate now. Some victims have climbed thousands of miles and mountains, and the people are too miserable. Now only the lords are resettling the people in the world, and other princes do not care about the lives and deaths of the people. Including Kong Daru, it is just a few big pots to help. This is a very good official."
After hearing Zi Jing and the others, Lu Ning felt very uncomfortable. There was no way. The locust disaster in the north is getting worse and worse. It is impossible for food crops to gain anything. If we follow what history says, that huge plague is about to break out. I don’t know how many people will die from the harm of these two major disasters. This is a natural disaster, and Lu Ning has no good way to stop it. "What you are talking about is the truth. Now not only are there a large number of disaster victims in Donglai, but refugees are pouring in. There are now thousands of disaster victims and refugees in the border lines in all our jurisdictions every day. It is estimated that the number of disaster victims in our jurisdiction will reach millions this year. These people must be resettled. The workload of our internal affairs personnel is very large.
And the most difficult thing is that we cannot resettle the people nearby, so we can only send them to the northern part of Youzhou, Zhao Yunzhou and Goguryeo, which was newly conquered. Of course, after the three Hans resolved, the Fuyu and Yiluo in the northeast will be almost the same. At that time, we will have large areas of land to resettle victims and refugees. You must explain to the victims clearly that they can only be placed in those places. As long as they are willing, we will resettle them well. If they are not willing, we cannot force him to go. If we want to make the population relatively balanced, a large part of the disaster refugees and refugees who have poured into our jurisdiction this year will have to wait until the conquered Japanese island is under construction. I am also very immense now. If I didn’t store more food in the past few years, then I would be in trouble this year.”
After hearing this, Gan Ning said, "Lord, now the victims and refugees are desperate, so what choice is there? As long as they can be resettled, they will be satisfied; if we do not resettle them and do not help them, they will be starved to death and freeze to death."
Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Qingzhou has been very troubled by the Yellow Turban Army in recent years. Now there are more than one million victims and refugees who have fled to Donglai. So what population is there in other places in Qingzhou?"
After hearing this, Jiang Qin said, "Lord, the other places in Qingzhou are truly called deserted, so what population is there? The most prosperous place now is our Donglai. Now the governor of Qingzhou Tian Kai is thinking about the idea of Donglai again. He wants to pick up ready-made cheapness. He has sent several waves to control Donglai, but we have beaten Donglai out of Donglai."
After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed and said, "Tian Kai also has the courage to steal our things. Isn't he seeking death? How many soldiers are there in our army stationed in Donglai now?"
Gan Ning said: "Now, we have only sent 2,000 Marine soldiers to maintain order in Donglai."
Lu Su said: "Lord, we have an idea. We want to recruit 10,000 soldiers from the victims and refugees to station in Donglai so that our army's marines can be drawn out to fight. If there is 10,000 soldiers in Donglai, then if there is a large army that wants to take advantage of it, it will not be easy to capture it. As long as they resist for a while, the army of Changdao will arrive immediately. At the same time, these 10,000 soldiers are also a deterrent to Qingzhou and Xuzhou, making the princes in those places dare not act rashly."
Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "We have resettled a large number of people in Donglai and stationed soldiers. Do Kong Rong from Beihai have any ideas?"
Lu Su smiled and said, "Lord, Kong Beihai has put a few big pots in his place to help the victims. As for the resettlement, he did not oppose us resettlement, and even had an attitude of appreciation. Besides, when he threw Donglai to us, he actually wanted to have an ally beside him, and he could support him when he had something to do in Beihai. He also knew that our army would not like him, a small Beihai. If our army wanted Beihai, he would not rescue him. Now Qingzhou Governor Tian Kai couldn't control Kong Beihai. Kong Beihai is now doing his own thing and doing things according to his own methods. So he would not have any objection to our army stationed in Donglai."
