Chapter 593: Refugee wave (2/2)
If you do n’t run now, you wo n’t be able to run afterwards. I've already thought about leaving now. We pretend to be digging wild vegetables. In case the Persians find out, they will be mistakenly bitten by one bite. ”
When he said this, Akyol had no idea, but in order to survive, he had to pull everyone to run with him.
Xenophobia is very serious in this era. If a single person enters a foreign country, how can he survive?
There are now tens of thousands of refugees on the border. Persians are bound to intercept as long as they do not want to be hit by the refugee wave.
At this time, luck will be tested. If you are unlucky and meet the patrol of the garrison, you will die for nothing.
Just by taking a meal, you can get back a good life, which is only the treatment of the master with good luck. Ordinary people are hung on poles and used to kill a hundred.
...
In the Ottoman barracks not far from the camp, Major General Shen Dierke, who is responsible for implementing the refugee deportation plan, is at a loss.
Although he continued to seduce news, cut food supplies, put pressure on them, and encouraged refugees to go to Persia for living, too few people successfully crossed the border.
This ”less” is relatively speaking. On the long border, there are now hundreds of refugees and thousands of refugees entering Persia every day.
However, this number is almost negligible relative to the entire refugee community. As the granary bottomed out every day, Major General Shen Dierke was in a hurry.
”All of you, our food is about to run out and we will be completely out of food after half a month. In any case, we must send refugees away within half a month.
Persians are now staring closely, and the success rate of refugees crossing the border is very low. Especially after the **** massacre of the garrison, many refugees dare not cross the border.
This situation must be changed, otherwise the consequences will be clear to everyone. ”
A young military officer couldn't bear to ask, ”General, is there really no way out? You must know that the Persians are fierce and let the refugees pass by, and the last one will survive at most.”
Major General Shen Dierke shook his head: ”It's good to have one or two out of ten. It's better than staying to die. I want to remind you to put away your poor sympathy.
You should be aware that there are not so many refugees originally, it is because of the sympathy of some people that has led to the current situation.
If no change is made, all Ottomans will become refugees. The government's family has been exhausted by the war. The treasury can run mice. In order to relieve refugees, even military operations to suppress the rebellion have been suspended.
Let me tell you the bad news. The domestic grain output this year is expected to be only about 60% of normal years. If the refugees are not sent away, everyone will be hungry before the autumn harvest. ”
The Ottoman Empire has extensive experience in dealing with famine. According to the Turkic tradition, usually at this time, a war is waged, the population is reduced through the war, and the crisis is passed.
Unfortunately, this ancient practice has become increasingly outdated. With the advent of the age of hot weapons, the Ottoman Empire was declining, and it no longer had the power to siege the city.
After a long silence, a middle-aged officer proposed: ”General, the Persians have strengthened their vigilance, and in order for most refugees to pass, they must first resolve the garrison.
Otherwise, let us disguise the soldiers as refugees, attack the Persian garrison directly, tear open a hole with force, and let the refugees pass.
For the sake of insurance, it is best to merge Kiyoshi within 50 miles to let the refugees know that there is no food around them and break their illusions of return. ”
”Merger of Qingye” was nothing at all to the Ottoman Empire. The scourge of refugee camps had been stricken for decades, and the locals had also been turned into refugees.
Seeing more, everyone ’s sympathy is gradually exhausted, and many people start to treat refugees as a scourge. This statement is not wrong, human nature cannot stand the test before hunger.
...
In the early morning of May 18, 1875, the Ottoman army took off its military uniform, turned into a refugee, and launched a surprise attack on the Persian garrison from multiple locations.
The unexpected Persian garrison was directly blinded by the sudden battle. Without waiting for the Persian government to respond, countless refugee troops followed.
In one day, millions of refugees crossed the border and poured into Persia. Under the guidance of the Ottoman army, refugees were wreaking havoc in Persia as if they were transiting.
This is just the beginning. The Ottoman government continues to expel domestic refugees into Persia, as if Persia was used as a scrap purchase station.
