Yongping is a big city and is where Yongping Prefecture is located.
The entire city has a population of about four to five million people.
After the Jianlu invaded the capital, the surrounding people hid in the city, and the number of people was only larger than usual.
Now that Jianlu has burned Yongping Mansion, it is estimated that there are nearly 350,000 old and weak people rushing outside the city.
So many people were exposed to the wild in such cold weather without food or water.
Even if Jianlu didn't kill them, how long could they survive?
Hu Guang's heart clenched when he thought of so many people whose lives were uncertain.
He immediately thought of Zunhua, which was in a similar situation, and immediately switched to the Jinyiwei working group.
He found that Gao Yingyuan had left a message, so he clicked it to listen.
As expected, Zunhua City was the same as Yongping.
All the people were driven out of the city.
The city was looted and then set on fire.
Because of the existence of Gao Yingyuan, Hu Guang finally knew Jianlu's plan.
As long as those old and weak who were driven out of the city did not resist, the prisoners did not kill any of them.
They only sent troops to monitor them and waited until the city was burned down before evacuating.
Hu Guang can be sure that the castles controlled by Jianlu will all meet the same fate.
All the property was looted, all the young people were taken away, leaving only the old and the weak who were in urgent need of rescue.
Huang Taiji, you are so poisonous.
Hu Guang felt secretly resentful in his heart.
He quickly switched to the work group, clicked on Wen Tiren's icon, explained the situation, and then asked: "It seems that Jianlu really left.
He just came before leaving."
It's so cruel, there are probably millions of people affected by the disaster, what good advice does Wen Qing have?"
Wen Tiren was silent for a while before replying: "Your Majesty, the people must be saved, but there is no food in the court, so we can only urgently transfer it from the south.
Early tomorrow morning, I will start this matter, so that all the ministers in the court and the people of the world can Everyone knows the emperor’s love for the people.”
Hu Guang was stunned for a moment.
Although Wen Tiren's answer was quite satisfactory, he, Hu Guang, was not the Chongzhen Emperor who had not experienced worldly affairs.
He immediately understood the true meaning of Wen Tiren's words.
The imperial court wants to make a gesture and save people, but because it doesn't have the ability, it should be slow rather than hasty.
If some old and weak people are starved to death and frozen to death, the pressure on the court will be reduced.
In the end, the imperial court would still rescue them, but they themselves could not hold on.
The imperial court was not to blame, and Jianlu could only be blamed.
Intellectually speaking, Wen Tiren's answer is indeed pertinent.
With the resources at his disposal, he couldn't save everyone, so he had to make a compromise.
However, Hu Guang came from a later generation and could not face human life indifferently, especially millions of lives.
If he could not do his best to save people, he would probably have an uneasy conscience in this life.
Therefore, Hu Guang immediately expressed his position: "If the food in the south is too late, we can recruit it from neighboring provinces, and then make up for it from provinces further south.
At least this will make it faster."
This step-by-step method can quickly collect food.
Without waiting for Wen Tiren to speak, he said again: "We will discuss this matter at court tomorrow morning.
Don't let this year pass."
"I obey the decree."
Wen Tiren sighed slightly in his heart.
He understood that the emperor couldn't bear it, so he agreed.
However, he is not optimistic that any good measures will be discussed at tomorrow's morning meeting.
Hu Guang can actually make a rough guess about this.

But if he had to think about such a huge mess by himself, he would be afraid of missing some good measures and thus saving fewer people.
However, Hu Guang is not naive enough to really place his hope on tomorrow's morning meeting.
After thinking about it, he switched to the Jinyiwei working group, clicked on Liu Xingzuo's icon and asked: "Liu Qing, how is Jinyiwei's control?"
"Your Majesty has a mission, and I will do my best," Liu Xingzuo replied immediately, with certainty in his tone.
In other words, Jin Yiwei can be allowed to do things.
Hu Guang understood this meaning and immediately ordered: "Tomorrow morning, except for the guards who are on duty, the rest of the Jinyi Guards will gather together and wait for my order."
Faintly feeling that something big was about to happen, Liu Xingzuo immediately responded loudly: "I obey the order."
After Hu Guang finished handling these matters, he couldn't sleep, put on his clothes and got up.
He summoned Man Gui, the commander-in-chief of the city defense, Li Fengxiang, the admiral of the Beijing camp, and Gao Shiyue, the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor.
After a while of busy work, it was already late at night, and it looked like it would be dawn in about two hours.
Hu Guang simply stayed up, entered the chat group, clicked on Liu Wang's icon, and asked her to ask for an audience with Sun Chengzong immediately.
Mrs.
Liu used it as a telephone to communicate with both parties, and listened to the emperor and the elder discussing matters.
It was not until the sky was dimming that she went back to rest tiredly.
At Xifengkou Pass, one of the famous passes of the Great Wall, Huang Taiji, surrounded by people, looked at the white fish belly rising in the east, turned to look in the direction of the capital, and said with a smile: "I really can't underestimate you.
In this case, Just let you be busy."
After saying that, he strode down the city wall and walked back out of the gate on horseback.
At the beginning, when Huang Taiji felt that the Ming army in Guan Nei was vulnerable, he really wanted to win people's hearts and see if he could gain a foothold in Guan Nei.
Just like in the original history, after the Jianlu captured the city in the pass, they did not go to war like this.
Instead, they left many people to try to gain a foothold in the pass.
However, when the Ming army counterattacked later, Heshuo Beile Aisin Gioro Amin, who stayed behind, did not have the intention to hold on and massacred the city and ran away.
When Huang Taiji saw that not only the capital could not be defeated, but even Changli could not be defeated, he realized Jianlu's own shortcomings.
In particular, the courage he showed to the Ming Emperor, his determination to stand firm and clear the country, and the conversations under the capital made him clearly realize that the Ming Emperor was a powerful figure, and the Ming Empire was a behemoth after all, and could not be eaten by today's big gold.
It's worth it.
In this case, Huang Taiji, who was well versed in politics, came up with a poisonous plan and left a very big mess for the Ming Emperor, which was far more poisonous than massacring the city.
In this way, it will not only weaken the strength of the Ming Dynasty in the north, but also make the Ming Dynasty busy with disaster relief in the Gyeonggi area and unable to deal with Dajin, thus giving Dajin time to digest and absorb the results of this battle.
The party struggle in the Ming Dynasty provided opportunities, which can be said to have served multiple purposes with one stone.
Thinking about his wonderful move, Huang Taiji felt very proud.
This time we insisted on an expedition to the Ming Dynasty.
Although we lost about 10,000 people, most of them were just Han slaves and Mongolian tribes for consumption.
If it weren't for the attrition of the capital city and that damn Azig's underestimation of the enemy, there would probably not have been two thousand Jurchen casualties.
As far as Dajin is concerned, the harvest is huge.
The wealth and young population alone are a huge number.
After this battle, his reputation within Daikin will also be at its peak.
It is time to start changing the affairs of the Eight Kings in discussing politics.
Huang Taiji was thinking about it and was in a good mood when he was suddenly interrupted.
After hearing the news, he rushed over and looked at the Jingguan where more than two thousand heads were piled up.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of the capital, his eyes a little deep
