Chapter 111: Exploiting Refugees

"Send it up!"

Upon hearing the news, Huangfu Qingling frowned and immediately asked the soldiers to report the battle.

This is the news recently reported by Prince Qing.

"Read!"

As the soldiers read out the news, the entire war situation in the north gradually became known to everyone.

After Prince Qing and Yan Nan went on the expedition, they directly recaptured the border with the help of the Black Tortoise Chariot and Molotov cocktails.

Many soldiers loyal to Yannan came over directly, and Yannan quickly formed an army of 60,000.

He and Prince Qing cooperated with each other and took control of the border city in just a few days.

However, just as they were pursuing their victory, they were confronted head-on by the 500,000-strong army of the anti-Yan Emperor alliance.

Although Prince Qing and Yan Nan's army successfully repelled the 500,000-strong army,... Yan Nan was nowhere to be found.

"But he's nowhere to be found. Why is he dead?"

Huangfu Qingling frowned. If Yan Nan was not on his side, then there would be no point for Prince Qing to go north.

It will be just as Lin Yi said, they will become Dayong’s “invading” army.

"Prince Qing has been looking for him again, but there is still no news."

"If you can't find him, Your Highness can only accept that... he's dead."

The soldier reported tremblingly, afraid of saying something wrong.

"Tell my brother to withdraw if he cannot find it."

"Wait until Yan State becomes more chaotic..."

Huangfu Qingling was at a loss. If the chaos in Yan State continued, more refugees would probably move south. By then, the food of one country would not be able to feed the people of both countries!

"Search as much as you can. If you really can't find anything... continue to defend."

Huangfu Qinling changed his mind time and again, and he really didn't know what to do. "My Lords, what do you think we should do?"

"We should directly annex the State of Yan."

"The traitors in the north murdered the emperor, so we must raise an army to suppress them!"

"I second the suggestion. The troops have already been dispatched. How can they be withdrawn?"

With the support of all the officials, Huangfu Qingling felt more confident.

"Lin Yi, what about you?"

She asked Lin Yi to see if he had any different ideas.

"We must look for the Emperor of Yan, or even his brother."

Lin Yi said, "If His Royal Highness Prince Qing wants to continue his march north, the Emperor of Yan must be present."

"Do your best to find them. Don't send out any troops for now. Regain your strength."

"The 500,000-strong army on the other side cannot be defeated in a short time."

Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly after hearing Lin Yi's words. This idea was consistent with his previous idea of ​​using refugees.

If we integrate the refugees here and send them north as troops, we will definitely be able to break through these 500,000 enemies!

"Then we'll station troops first and follow Lin Yi's idea."

Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly, and then all the officials had no objections. Anyway, as long as they occupied the city in the north, they could use the city to support the army.

Lin Yi and Bao Bu Tong immediately left with the Ministry of Revenue to prepare the relevant funds.

There is still a lot to do before this group of refugees arrives.

"Master Lin, if we want to use cement to build the city wall, I'm afraid it will be too late."

In the room, the Vice Minister of Revenue and the Vice Minister of Works discussed and reported to Lin Yi.

"First, take out the food, and then set up a district in the north."

Lin Yi said, "No one would refuse to take food and have a place to live."

He then discussed some details.

It was finally decided to build some tents for refugees and food distribution stations along the road on an open space thirty miles north of Liangzhou City.

“First, we will gather them together for registration, and then we will use these refugees to level the land.”

"Then……"

Following the arrangements, each unit immediately began preparing personnel to set off.

By the next morning, a large number of officers and soldiers had begun to set up some facilities for handling refugees at designated locations, even including some fences and wooden stakes for queuing.

When Lin Yi arrived at the scene, he saw several refugees coming to collect food.

The refugee camp has everything.

Moreover, the Ministry of Personnel also issued wooden badges to the people as per Lin Yi's request to prove their identities.

The front of the wooden sign has his number written in numbers, and the back has his name.

At the beginning, the entire camp was in good order, but after a few days, as the number of refugees increased, the queues on both sides were no longer enough.

Just as Lin Yi expected, these refugees all gathered where food was being distributed, and no one would go directly through here to Liangzhou City.

Even if there are any, they will be stopped by people from Bao Bu Tong's side and then asked to queue up.

Seeing this situation, Lin Yi immediately added a few queues to ease the long queues.

"Lord Lin, I've almost finished recording everything. According to Pengcheng's intelligence, the next batch of refugees shouldn't arrive for two days."

After a busy day, the Minister of Revenue stretched and reported slowly.

"Almost done. The bag is different. Come with me and prepare it."

Lin Yi watched as the refugees had all eaten, thinking that it was almost time.

After a little preparation, Lin Yi changed into a different set of clothes and then walked into the refugee camp with several ministers from the ministry.

"Everyone!"

Lin Yi shouted, and all the refugees' eyes turned to him.

"I know you all have come all the way from Yan State and have endured a lot of hardships."

"So, everyone in Dayong, we will treat you with care!"

These words excited all the refugee people, as if they would have real good days in Dayong.

Many people have even decided to stay in Dayong.

"But I can't let you eat and drink for free."

Lin Yi changed the subject and told about his plan to build houses, "As long as you participate in the construction of these houses, you will have a place to live in the future."

Although you have to work hard, you will get a house in the end!

Lin Yi has already solved half of the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation!

Naturally, they were also willing to help Lin Yi "for free".

"However, if you do not wish to remain in Dayong, we will train you and then head north to help the Emperor of Yan rebuild his country!"

Before Lin Yi finished speaking, he heard a voice of objection, "Your Excellency, may I know that His Majesty... has disappeared?"

"Yes! If His Majesty disappears, the State of Yan will be doomed!"

The pessimism of these people spread instantly.

Although Yan Nan treated them badly during his reign, it was still better than war.

"We are trying our best to find him. As long as he is alive, we will not give up."

"We, Dayong and Yan, are allies!"

Lin Yi's words made some people who wanted to change their status eager to make a move.

If we can march north and get a position under the Emperor of Yan, life will be much better!

"Having said that, you will go to the Ministry of Personnel to register tomorrow, and we will prepare in batches."

Having said this, Lin Yi ran to several places in the refugee camp and repeated his previous remarks.

Soon, the refugees began to move in batches.

A large number of refugees took tools and began to level the surrounding land, while the rest received military training.

As more and more refugees arrived, the entire refugee camp north of Liangzhou City was in good order!
