The capital of Jiangbei Province, the towering city walls and bustling crowds make the city look extremely prosperous.
The brutal war left many places empty, and even turned into a piece of scorched earth. A large number of fleeing people poured into the strong big cities, which on the contrary caused some big cities to produce abnormal prosperity.
The capital of Jiangbei Province, with the influx of a large number of refugees, soldiers from the road militia were also recruited here, making this place not only not depressed, but crowded and lively.
The heavy and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the Far Eastern Dynasty led to vigorous uprisings in various places, and the Jiangbei province was also full of smoke.
The various rebel armies and the army of the dynasty conquered each other. Although many areas were destroyed, the provincial capital was stationed with heavy troops and the walls were high and safe.
Therefore, people fleeing from all over the Jiangbei Province flocked in, and the influx of a large number of people made the provincial capital suddenly overwhelmed.
Under the eaves of the capital city of Jiangbei Province, there are ragged refugees everywhere on the streets. They are displaced and suffering from hunger and cold.
Although the governor of the province has a certain amount of food in his hands, he has to supply the provincial garrison and garrison troops everywhere, and he can't provide food for the refugees.
Although the governor of the province asked the king for food several times, he tried to get the court to allocate food to relieve the refugees.
However, from Jiangbei Province to the king, you have to pass through Luyang Province, Hezhong Province, Gyeonggi Province and other places. These places are not peaceful and the roads are interrupted.
As a result, the Governor of Jiangbei Province has lost contact with the imperial court, and the people he sent have disappeared without a word.
The people struggling in dire straits were so hungry that they had to take advantage of the night to steal food, cattle, sheep and livestock from the local residents, and the looting incidents tended to intensify, causing the security of the provincial capital to continue to deteriorate.
As a last resort, the Governor of Jiangbei Province had to privately allocate a batch of food to relieve these refugees.
At the same time, the 20th Corps of the People's Army also wantonly selected young adults from among the refugees, which eased the refugee problem.
Although the tens of thousands of refugees gathered in the provincial capital can have porridge to drink and will not starve to death, the situation is not much better.
In order to prevent the deterioration of the law and order in the city, the governor of the province dispatched the provincial garrison to expel all the refugees in the city to the outside of the city.
Now several large-scale refugee camps have formed outside the capital of the province. Even the governor can't figure out the exact number of people.
In addition to these shack refugee camps built with planks and branches, there are also several large-scale military camps outside the city.
The 20th Corps of the People's Army is now facing a lot of external pressure. King Ning of Luyang Province is eyeing him, and Chen Ziang, who is entrenched in Yunxi Mansion, is not easy to provoke.
So Xiaoqi General Qin Feng had to order the expansion of the army to prepare for war. In just a few months, the 20th Corps of the People's Army has swelled to nearly 200,000 people.
Most of the nearly 200,000 militia troops are now stationed in the surrounding areas of the provincial capital, with banners covering the sky and the sun, and the camp stretches for dozens of miles.
A large number of refugees and troops gathered around the provincial capital, which made the provincial capital look extremely prosperous, but it also concealed a great crisis.
?In the Governor's Mansion of Jiangbei Province, Governor Xu Zhenxiong was leaning exhaustedly on the Grand Master's chair, listening to the report of his officials.
"Your Excellency, there were three fires in the refugee camp yesterday. Thirty-one people died in the fire, and more than two hundred people were burned."
"The food in our warehouse can only last for two months at most. If there is no supplement, we will have no food to eat by then."
"Your Excellency, the police patrol team reported yesterday that 21 cattle and sheep were lost in villages outside the city, and three caravans were ransacked by unidentified armed forces on the provincial official road."
"Yesterday, there were twelve fights between local people and refugees. We have arrested more than 300 people and are waiting for disposal."
Hearing the reports from his officials, Governor Xu Zhenxiong felt his head was getting bigger.
A large number of refugees gathered in the provincial capital, causing him, the governor, to feel as if he was surrounded by refugees, and all kinds of troublesome things swarmed him, which made him very annoyed.
"Just reduce the amount of food so that they don't starve to death."
"Register the refugees as soon as possible, and let the officials of the prefectures and counties come to pick them up. Within three months, where they come from, they will go back where they came from. If anyone can't take them away, they will take off their black hats themselves!"
"Those who steal, fight with weapons, or block the road and rob, must be severely punished.??, what should be killed, what should be caught, must be deterred! "
Xu Zhenxiong was able to become the Governor of Jiangbei Province, the nominally highest military and political officer of Jiangbei Province, and naturally he was not a vegetarian.
After hearing the reports from the officials under his command, he issued a series of effective orders vigorously and resolutely.
"Have you got in touch with the capital?"
After giving instructions to the officials to report the situation, Xu Zhenxiong asked about the news from the capital.
"Your Excellency, bandits are rampant everywhere now, and the roads are blocked. We have sent several groups of people, but there is no response yet." Someone said with a wry smile.
"Send someone to the capital again, and ask the provincial garrison to dispatch hundreds of cavalry to escort them along the way."
Xu Zhenxiong, the governor of the province, was appointed by the imperial court, and he is no fart when he leaves the imperial court.
With the growth of the 20th Corps of the People's Army, his position as governor of the province is also in jeopardy. Now he is eager to get in touch with the court.
Even if the imperial court only sent an imperial envoy, then Xiaoqi General Qin Feng would not dare to do anything to him.
? Although the Far Eastern Dynasty is now rotten and relentless, its power still exists. Except for the insurgents, everyone else still needs the banner of the imperial court, and they dare not make mistakes.
Now the governor, Xu Zhenxiong, urgently needs the support of the imperial court, otherwise, sooner or later, he, the governor, will change hands, because he is almost unable to hold down Xiaoqi General Qin Feng.
"Report!"
Just as Governor Xu Zhenxiong was dealing with various thorny issues with his subordinate officials in his Governor's Mansion, a soldier of the Provincial Guard hurried into the Governor's Mansion.
"What's the matter, in a panic?!"
Seeing this guard soldier who went straight in, Xu Zhenxiong was in a bad mood and couldn't help sternly yelling.
"My lord, the third battalion of the garrison and the 20th battalion of the civilian army are fighting in the city!" The guard soldier hurriedly explained.
"What?!"
After hearing this, Governor Xu Zhenxiong stood up, his face full of shock.
"What's going on, let's talk about it in detail."
The provincial garrison and the civilian army actually fought, Governor Xu Zhenxiong's face was also cloudy, and he hurriedly wanted to know the specific details.
?Because the provincial police force is under his jurisdiction, while the civilian army is under the command of Xiaoqi General Qin Feng.
?Their two troops did not interfere with each other, and now there was a conflict. For a while, countless guesses flashed in Xu Zhenxiong's mind.
He was even thinking that this was instigated by Xiaoqi General Qin Feng behind his back, and he wanted to attack him, the governor of the province.
