Call of the Deer

Chapter 70 Sweeping Dongzhou, Wu Qi finally came

The blue sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. Although it is in Yizi, the world will be happy!
This resounding slogan blew the horn of the Dongzhou rebel army against the princes, and rebel armies from all over the country emerged one after another, taking root and sprouting like mushrooms after a rain.

The Taiping Uprising happened so suddenly. In less than a month, the situation in the entire Dongzhou changed rapidly. The Taiping bandits took half of Dongzhou under Zhang Jiao's rule with the momentum of sweeping the fallen leaves with the autumn wind.

Regardless of whether it is Huangzhou or the nearby Qianzhou, Sizhou, and Yuzhou, because Zhang Jiao's hidden thieves were wiped out in advance, the impact is not too great.

However, there are always some people who are not afraid of death and dare to come out to make trouble and rebel, but these are always a small number of people. Once they rebel, they are extinguished by Bei Minghao with thunder.

Other states are not as lucky as Bei Minghao. These Taiping troops revolted overnight, and every city is full of Taiping Island believers. Whether it is cooperation from inside or outside, or the generals defending the city, they are all Taiping soldiers. .

Anyway, overnight, except for a very small number of important cities, all the cities fell into the hands of thieves one after another. It can be said that there are yellow scarves everywhere.

The Taiping thieves coerced all the way from west to east, and from north to south. Countless Li people were "reduced" by the Taiping thieves with dogma, and their momentum became more and more powerful.

A frenzy of uprisings was set off, bandits from all over the country echoed each other, and the rebels rose up one after another, and began to wreak havoc on the land of Dongzhou.

Tens of thousands of plain-headed ordinary people wrapped their hands in yellow scarves, transformed themselves into members of the uprising army, and started the huge revolutionary cause of "beating local tyrants, splitting the land, and distributing food!"

As for Yongzhou, the home of the Taiping Army, the revolution was even more thorough. Originally, it was thought that with Yongzhou's status as the number one state in Dingzhou, it would be able to survive this uprising frenzy no matter what.

Unexpectedly, the first one to be submerged by the uprising frenzy was Yongzhou, where the capital of Dongzhou, Donghuangcheng, was located. This surprised the princes of Dongzhou and felt extremely incredible.

However, the matter is also reasonable, because as Zhang Jiao's place of preaching, that is, the place where he stands, how can it be possible for other forces to live beside him? The so-called side of the couch should not allow others to snore, this is the truth.

If Yongzhou's power is compared with the Yellow Turban, it is like the light of the firefly compared to Haoyue. Even the most powerful Huangzhou and Qinzhou are weaker than the Taiping Army by more than a notch.

This point, whether it is Bei Minghao, the lord of Huangzhou, or Li Shimin, the lord of Qinzhou, must admit it.

The rebel army continued their great cause unscrupulously, and the people everywhere were in dire straits and began to flee.

The land where the Taiping army passed was like locusts passing through the territory, leaving no grass. As long as the Taiping army passed by, the materials, food, gold, silver and treasures here were confiscated one after another, and they made great contributions to the great cause.

This time, it can be regarded as cutting off the last way of life for the people of the Li people. The people of the Li people had to follow the Taiping army and join in the vigorous cause.

Of course, there are more people in the Li people who do not want to "join the ranks and filth", so they have to travel thousands of miles alone and go to other places. There are many of these people, old and young.

……

In Yanhuang City, Bei Minghao was standing on the city wall at the moment, watching the flow of people queuing into Yanhuang City from outside the city, and said lightly: "Wenhe, Zizhen, Bailixi, there are some refugees who have entered the boundary of my Huangzhou now." How much?"

"Reporting to my lord, the number of refugees who have flooded into Huangzhou is now close to 200 million, including over a million old and young, and nearly a million strong men. Besides, there are nearly a million refugees in my Huangzhou sphere of influence, except for Huangzhou itself. Others that have poured in in the last three or four days are still being counted, and preliminary estimates show that there are as many as 10,000+ in ancient and modern times!"

"Oh, good, very good, the number of orphaned people has increased again, hahaha!" Bei Minghao said with a smile when he heard this, he seemed not worried about food and public security issues at all.

"My lord, the number of refugees is far from enough compared to our food and grass reserves. It is estimated that the food and grass will run out soon, and it may cause a series of public security problems and even riots in the future!"

"Also, wealthy businessmen in Huangzhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, Qianzhou and other places have started to raise food prices, which has caused small-scale riots and conflicts. If this continues at this time, the situation will probably worsen..." Baili Xi whispered.

"What? Those rich businessmen dare to take the opportunity to set a high price? Pass down the order, anyone who dares to set a high price, beheaded! Anyone who poisons the refugees, beheaded! Anyone who disturbs the law and order in Huangzhou, beheaded!"

Bei Minghao frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said coldly, it seems that this matter has touched his bottom line, and everyone bowed their heads and agreed.

"My lord, this is not good. If there is a backlash, it will be difficult to handle at that time, and it will make Huangzhou even more chaotic." Bailixi frowned slightly and said.

"Hehe, it's okay, I believe Baiqi and them, they will definitely not let this kind of thing cause turmoil in Huangzhou!" Bei Minghao said indifferently, as if he cared very much about his subordinates.

"Wenhe, Zizhen, is there any news from the border?" Bei Minghao didn't turn his head, looked down, and said lightly. From the beginning to the end, a domineering aura lingered around him from the inside out, making people unconsciously Return to obedience.

"My lord, the three generals Tian Dan, Zhang He, and Chen Dao all wrote letters saying that the Yellow Turbans of Si and Yu three prefectures harassed them many times, but they all repelled them very easily. For the time being, there will be no worries..." Jing Xiang heard, Hastily detailed the information one by one.

"Oh, very good, the generals have lived up to Gu's trust and heavy responsibility, passed on my order, Tian Dan was General Anping, Zhang He was General Fengwei, Chen Dao was General Dangkou, and the others were promoted at once according to military industry. ..."

Bei Minghao caressed his chest and laughed heartily, at the same time he gave the order to reward without hesitation.

"My lord, Xu has a book to play!" Jia Xu also said at the right time.

"Oh, but are the princes from other states here?" Bei Minghao said calmly.

"Exactly, these days, according to my lord's previous words, I have rejected the princes' envoys. I don't know if my lord will see you today. If you don't, I will immediately refuse..." Jia Xu said cautiously.

"Wenhe, there's no need. After hanging out with these princes and envoys for so many days, it's time to meet..." Bei Minghao stopped Jia Xu this time, and smiled lightly.

"Report, two people came from outside the city. Among them was a Confucian scholar who said he was from Zhongzhou, named Xie An, and came to seek refuge with the King. The other seemed to be a general named Wu Qi!" Bei Minghao Yingwei Suddenly came to report.

"Oh, it's finally here. Customers have been waiting for you for a long time. It's so hard to wait!" Bei Minghao muttered to himself.

"Hahaha, Wenhe, Zizhen, Bailixi, a long-awaited general has come from outside the city, come with me, everyone?"

Bei Minghao laughed and went down the city wall and went straight out of the city. Everyone looked at each other and had no choice but to follow Bei Minghao to the outside of the city...
