First, they sold the stolen slaves.

Then he sold his children to make a living.

Until the mountains and seas were searched,

They plundered a large portion of the land in Song.

Jin Guocai issued an edict in the name of the emperor.

The imperial court paid to help the border troops redeem the families they had sold.

Border soldiers with only two or three registered residents,

The government provided slaves to supplement the family to four.

The government also provided supplementary oxen for those who needed them.

They also provided additional food supplies to the border troops.

Chapter 3194 Migrating People

Overall, was the Jin dynasty willing to provide relief to people of all ethnicities?

Are the rations and pay for second-line troops being paid in full?

It all depends on how much they looted from the enemy!

If we can't seize money and food...

They not only failed to provide relief to the starving people in their country,

Instead, they will intensify their exploitation.

Right now, it's impossible to get one.

Moreover, there has been no serious looting for three years.

The grain compensation from the Ming Dynasty

The Jin dynasty would not distribute it to its people.

They would simply use it all as military rations.

Until the situation completely spiraled out of control.

Nearly a quarter of the various ethnic groups in the north have defected.

Wanyan Xiyin finally announced the migration policy:

At the beginning of the migration, how much food was distributed to each male?

How much grain should be distributed to each woman?

How much food will be distributed once we reach our destination?

This order finally eased the trend of defection.

But it only provides temporary relief.

There are still many tribes,

They did not believe Wanyan Xiyin's promise.

They felt they had received food.

After they migrated to Liaodong,

They will definitely default on the payment for the remaining grain.

Even if they don't renege on their debts,

Autumn taxes

They will also collect double the amount back.

On the date agreed upon by the two countries,

The Ming army has completely withdrawn from Haibin County and Lushun.

Meanwhile, the Jin Kingdom continued its slow and hesitant pursuit of fugitives.

Ma Kuo was escorted by Wang Yan's army.

Upon arriving in Yanshan Prefecture and meeting Wanyan Xiyin, he questioned:

"The Ming army has already withdrawn."

"Why is the Jin dynasty still lingering and refusing to leave?"

"Only surrendering four cities: Yi County, Rongcheng, Xincheng, and Yongqing?"

Wanyan Xiyin also questioned, "Why did the Ming Dynasty harbor rebels and civilians from our Great Jin?"

Ma Kuo sneered: "That's utterly ridiculous."

"Where are the Jin army and civilians going?"

"What does this have to do with my Great Ming Dynasty?"

"Could it be that the Ming Dynasty brought them here bound by kidnappers?"

“Those rebels from the Jin Dynasty,”

"Sneaking into the borders of the Ming Dynasty,"

"Countless acts of burning, killing, and looting occurred along the way,"

"The Ming Dynasty hasn't even demanded compensation from the Jin Dynasty yet!"

Wanyan Xiyin was furious:

"Nonsense!"

"They went to defect to the Ming Dynasty,"

"How dare you plunder in the Ming Dynasty?"

Ma Kuo was prepared.

They pretended to produce reports from the prefectures and counties.

He handed it to Wanyan Xiyin, saying, "Your Excellency, please take a look. These are officials from Baozhou and Xiongzhou."

"Official documents submitted to the Ming Dynasty court."

"Since the beginning of spring, there have been 20,000 Jin soldiers and civilians,"

"Unauthorized entry into the Hebei region of the Ming Dynasty".

"These Jin soldiers and civilians are lacking food and drink,"

"But they were all carrying weapons,"

"They plundered whenever they encountered Han Chinese towns and villages,"

"They might even be spying on the prefectures and counties, plotting to seize the city!"

"Leaving aside how many Han Chinese died,"

"The Ming Dynasty suffered a total loss of 400,000 shi (a unit of dry measure) of grain."

"One million eight hundred thousand strings of cash."

"The Jin Kingdom must compensate for all these losses!"

Wanyan Xiyin knew Chinese characters.

It can even identify the contents of the seal.

Although it was completely fabricated

But these official documents were forged too realistically.

Or rather, the seals of the Executive Yuan are genuine.

Wanyan Xiyin said, "Since it has caused losses to the Ming Dynasty,"

"The Ming Dynasty should assist the Jin Dynasty."

“Bring those rebels back.”

Ma Kuo replied, "They can't be brought back; they've all been wiped out."

"Those who commit the most heinous crimes will all be executed on the spot."

Chapter 3195 Han Chinese Gentry

"Ming and Jin are now friendly neighbors."

"The Ming Dynasty helped the Jin Dynasty suppress the rebellion,"

"There is no need for the Jin Kingdom to provide any compensation for this."

"But the losses suffered by the Ming Dynasty,"

"We still need to ask Jin Guozhao for compensation."

Wanyan Xiyin really wanted to draw his sword and kill someone.

The Ming Dynasty has gone too far!

Not only did they accept the Jin dynasty's rebels, but they also...

They even came to the Jin Kingdom to demand compensation.

Where in the world can there be such a shameless person?

Ma Kuo stopped talking nonsense.

He tossed out a sentence and stormed off:

"If the Jin troops do not withdraw from Yanshan Prefecture within half a month,"

"The Ming Dynasty will send troops to enforce the peace treaty by force!"

The two sides parted on bad terms.

Wanyan Xiyin was furious.

Even if you're furious, you still have to get things done.

The Jin troops have withdrawn from the border defenses.

Moreover, morale was low and countless soldiers deserted.

At this point, starting a war would be suicidal.

Wanyan Xiyin sent men to catch up with Ma Kuo and presented them with the following conditions:

"The Ming Dynasty has already paid 80,000 shi of wheat,"

"If another 200,000 shi (a unit of dry measure) were transported,"

"The Jin troops should immediately withdraw from Yanshan Prefecture."

"This grain is for the relocation of soldiers and civilians."

Ma Kuo replied, "When will the Jin state send the remaining fifty stallions?"

"When will the Ming Dynasty transport 200,000 shi of wheat?"

More than ten days later,

The Jin state handed over the public horses.

The Ming Dynasty also provided wheat.

The Jin troops then withdrew from Fanyang and Liangxiang.

However, around Yanshan Prefecture City,

The migration work remains a mess.

Shi Li'ai's clansmen live nearby.
