Chapter 1257: Big and Little Events
Bian Wenhao stopped at the door of his mansion, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the door with a calm face. A soldier had already rushed over to take the horse for him and entered the door with the guards who came back with Bian Wenhao from one side. Bian Wenhao strode towards the main gate.
He, the guard general, was extremely tired.
The families of tens of thousands of soldiers were not placed together in a unified manner, but were scattered in different counties under Anyang County. Similarly, the 10,000 border troops under him were also stationed in various counties, far apart from each other.
From the beginning of resettlement, the dispute between military families and local indigenous peoples never stopped. From the beginning of the demarcation of the area, conflicts continued to occur. After all, for those who came to latecomers, the best land had long been mastered, and all they could get was some wasteland at the corners, and there were naturally no such things as roads and water sources.
These Qin family members are used to being poor, so they are not afraid of hard work. Besides, there are even some wastelands in Anyang, which looks better than the original places. If there is no road, they can build and grow the land by themselves. After planting them for one or two years, they will become mature land. However, they have worked harder in the past two years.
Overall, they were quite satisfied with these Qin people. Even though they still live in thatched sheds and live a life without food or clothing, they are full of longing for the future.
But reality quickly awakened them. They were in a foreign land and were living as strangers, and their lives were far from as smooth as they thought.
The people of Anyang hated these Qin people. For decades, the two countries have fought against each other. The Qin border army raised the Anyang people as pigs, and they came to harvest them after they were fattened. Speaking of which, there was no Anyang person who had not been poisoned by the Qin border army. Now, these people have become stray dogs and even entered the house. They entered their homes openly and shared their own things with themselves.
This is really unbearable!
Those wastelands were originally thrown away and no one was born, and everyone looked at them without much, and they didn't think they were so precious. But now that these lands have been passed by the Qin people, the Anyang people immediately felt that they had suffered great losses.
So the provocation began.
At first, the Qin people were a little scared. After all, they were on the territory of others and were always not so at ease. When the Anyang people came to provoke, they often gave in. But over time, the bandits in the Qin people's bones were aroused and the conflict began.
If you really fight, the people of Anyang are really no match.
So other difficulties began. I sold some goods to them on the market. As long as the Qin people came to buy things, they would immediately add a few percent of the price. In short, it would be best if you don’t buy them.
The Qin people can still endure these things. After all, in this era, most of the things can be done at home. There are not many things that really need to be bought, but the water source is not enough.
Where there is water, it is naturally the best fat fields. These belong to the locals in Anyang and the Qin people, either mountain or slope, where can water irrigation come from?
Then we naturally need to build a canal. Once the canal is built, we will naturally need to divert water. When all these are solved, the biggest problem will come. The most important thing is to need water in the year. But at this time, it is the time when the water is at least. The Qin people want to release water, but the Anyang people have to satisfy themselves first before talking. The Qin people are naturally afraid of missing their farming season, which is related to the livelihood issue of the year.
Conflicts inevitably occur.
If the conflicts that occurred because of other things in the past were just small fights and small-scale fights, but in order to compete for water sources, it developed into large-scale conflicts of hundreds or thousands of people.
These days, Bian Wenhao has been running around and basically dealing with these things. Both him and Zhu Yi, the governor of Anyang County, were worried about this. Bian Wenhao still respects Zhu Yi very much, because this person can basically do the same thing.
But for Bian Wenhao, this is really not the life he wants to live.
Now he is not only a commander of ten thousand troops, but also a great steward and nanny who immigrated to tens of thousands of Qin countries. If nothing is handled well, it will be passed to the soldiers who follow the general, and then the general will know about it.
This time, I ran to several counties with Zhu Yi, and finally calmed down the situation. This time it was over, but what about next time, what about next year? Bian Wenhao felt that his miserable days seemed to have really begun.
But he did not complain at all. Bian Wushuang put him in this position, not as a punishment for him, but as a great respect for him. Bian Wenhao knew the importance of his position. Tens of thousands of soldiers were the root of these tens of thousands of elite soldiers. As long as they were stable, the army would be stable, and the army would be stable. Only then would the Bian clan be as stable as Mount Tai and without worries. If something happened here, it would be a big event that the sky would fall and the earth would fall.
If you want to truly gain a foothold, gain a foothold, and establish a good relationship with locals, it is a must-take. Even if you cannot be as close as brothers, you cannot regard each other as enemies. At least you must live in peace. But this can only be said to be something that will be planned slowly in the future. Now you need to help the Qin people overcome the initial difficulties. If your life gets better in the future, many things will be much easier to do.
He was extremely tired, and now he just wanted to go back and take a good bath, and then sleep for a good night's sleep in the dark. After entering the house, he suddenly felt even more tired.
"General." The call of the guards guarding the door came from behind.
Bian Wenhao turned around unhappily, "What's the matter?"
"A man came outside the door, saying that he was an old acquaintance of the general. If you want to meet the general, you have important things to discuss with the general." The guard pointed outside the door. From the crack of the empty door, Bian Wenhao saw an unfamiliar figure. He couldn't help but frowned. He had just entered the door and found this person. It was obvious that he had been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for himself to come back.
I wanted the soldier to drive the man away, but I was about to speak, but my heart moved, but I stopped again. It was probably not that simple to find the person coming from my doorstep.
"Why did he say his name?" Bian Wenhao asked.
"He said his name was Tian Kang, and once he said his name, the general would definitely know who he was!" The guard said quickly.
As soon as these two words entered Bian Wenhao's ears, they exploded deep in his mind like a thunderbolt. Most people really don't know this name, let alone who Tian Kang is, but how could Bian Wenhao not know what this person is for?
Tian Kang, deputy commander of the Great Ming Eagle Nest, is not famous, but he is truly a powerful figure. What did he come to him for?
"Please come in." The exhaustion of his body was gone. Bian Wenhao only knew that there must be nothing good for a night owl like Tian Kang to enter the house.
When the gate opened, Tian Kang walked in alone, Shi Shiran walked in. He looked around like an old friend, then looked at Bian Wenhao with a smile and said, "The general is much better when he arrives in Anyang than living in Qinghe. Hahaha, Tian Kang comes from Qinghe and comes to congratulate the general."
Bian Wenhao grinned with a slutty smile: "Brother Tian has been here for hard work, please invite him in the house and talk in the house."
"Okay, okay!" Tian Kang smiled and walked into the house with his hands on his back.
Bian Wenhao turned around and looked at the somewhat confused guard and warned: "Shut up, someone has looked for me today, but it is not called Tian Kang, do you understand?"
"Yes, general." The guard nodded quickly.
He strode into the house and looked at Tian Kang sitting on the chair steadily. Bian Wenhao's pupils shrank, "Tian Kang, you should know that we are new to Chu, and we are not trusted and have many conflicts. At this time, people like you come to me. If the Chu people know, they may be suspicious of us. Although the Grand Marshal once told me that if you have contact with you, be polite to you and help you, to be honest, I have no good feelings for you at all. If it weren't for you, why should we leave our hometown, live under someone else's roof, and be fucked so idle!"
He untied the sword around his waist and threw it heavily on the table, making a sound.
Tian Kang smiled and straightened his knife, "General Bian has been so tired these days. We know that, but compared to the matter I am coming to find you, I am afraid that your affairs will be all trivial matters and are not worth mentioning at all."
"What is a big deal?" Bian Wenhao said coldly: "For me, it is the biggest thing to let these tens of thousands of soldiers be able to stand firmly here and live a good life. Nothing else is worth mentioning."
Tian Kang nodded: "We have captured Yongdu City, and Ma Yue has also died at the hands of our Emperor Majesty. Tens of thousands of Thunder Army have been killed in battle and surrendered half. More than 100,000 young and strong people in the city have surrendered, except for those who are not dead."
Bian Wenhao's body shook slightly, "So quickly?" He raised his head to the sky and murmured: "But what does this have to do with me?"
"I'm here to find you, so it's natural that it's related." Tian Kang said lightly: "Because Ma Chao fled, he fled from Yongdu with his five thousand Thunder Army. Now we have confirmed that he has entered the Luoying Mountains. His destination is Chu State. To put it even smaller, Anyang County. General Bian, do you know what this means?"
Bian Wenhao seemed to froze there all of a sudden, his eyes wide open, "You said Ma Chao ran away, his target is Anyang? Why did he come here? What did he want to do?"
