Chapter 969: Ignited Internal Worries
Flower language plateau.
It is known as the blessed land of the continent of Ashan.
Just listen to its name, which means that it is in a state of birdsong and flowers all year round.
The average altitude here is more than 3,000 meters, and the high place is even more than 6,000 meters, and the typical plateau is said to be the closest place to the sky, so some people call it the eaves of the sky.
However, its geographical location is unique, like a raised sword, piercing into the South China Sea, and the Danube Plain led by the Eternal Night Army borders it only on the northeast corner of the Huayu Plateau, and its main body is further south.
The tropical environment and the highland environment have not made it one of the most suitable habitats for human beings, rather than becoming deprived of vegetation and sparsely populated.
If it weren't for the fault-like geographical environment, which trapped them in a high place, and a large amount of grain could not be transported, the reputation of the first granary of the Ashane continent would not have fallen on the plains of Asia Minor at all, but on the plateau of flowers.
A large amount of food that cannot be eaten or transported has created a unique drinking culture here, and the Huayu Plateau is also known as the wine country, and drinking has long become a culture that has been implemented into their lives.
This drinking culture has reached a new peak thanks to the introduction of new distillation techniques led by the Eternal Night Army, and drunkards can be seen everywhere who drink too much liquor and fall into the streets.
The tavern is always the liveliest place.
Cheap liquor, cheap perfumes on cheap prostitutes, make up a unique smell that fills it.
Boxing and gambling are commonplace games that can bring the atmosphere of the entire tavern to life.
However, the most common entertainment here is to brag and fart, and twice as cheap liquor can make those farmers who are usually honest and can't make a fart with eight sticks become the king of the entire tavern, and the small things with bigger farts can be blown to the sky.
Even the ruffian bullies, lords and nobles who usually terrify them are in front of them, they dare to scold and criticize their usual evil deeds.
Although the result of this often makes them pay a heavy price afterwards, as long as they do not die, there are still many people who enjoy it.
No way, that's the unique charm of spirits.
It is often not within their control to turn one person into another.
Now in the Huayu Plateau Tavern, the most talked about topic is not the lace news of those local lords and nobles, nor the trivial things between the neighbors, but the recent abnormal military movements of their neighbor, the Eternal Night Army.
"I heard that the Eternal Night Army Leader is deploying troops, preparing to invade our Huayu Plateau on a large scale, is there really such a thing?"
"Little John, which woman has you been drilling under her skirt lately? I don't even know such big news, but we've been discussing it for nearly half a week. ”
"I can't get out of your mother's crotch, the last time I was drinking with you bastards, I drank a little too much, I was transferred to a ditch, I fell and injured my leg, and I lay at home for days!"
"Haha, look at your little bit of interest, so to speak, you haven't been wet for a few days, come, give our hapless little John a big glass of ale to get rid of bad luck, count me in. ”
"Your wine!"
"That's what people do. Little John drank down the large glass of ale, and then asked, "You haven't answered my question yet? Is there really such a thing? How do you look at your appearance, and I am not worried at all? If there is a real war, our town is at the forefront of the war, and it is very likely that it will be swept away! ”
"Just put your heart back in your belly! This war will definitely not be fought!"
"Why are you so sure?"
"The Eternal Night Commander is not the first or the last one who peeks into the treasure land of our Huayu Plateau, but if you look through the history books, what happened in the end? The biggest battle on our Huayu Plateau was thirty years ago, because the two barons fought for the same woman after drinking, and the forces of outsiders have not been able to set foot on our plateau for half a step from beginning to end, and the rugged and difficult mountain roads will trap their army. ”
"It's different, this time it's different, it's definitely different, this time we are not facing an ordinary enemy, but the Eternal Night Commander, the Eternal Night Commander who is known for creating miracles, maybe the other party will jump on our Huayu Plateau in the next second, and become another war miracle of the other party's rise. ”
"Hah...... Little John, you don't want to talk about your previous business experience in the Eternal Night Army, do you? Our ears are almost calloused, can you change some new tricks?"
"That is, it is undeniable that the rise of the Eternal Night Army Leader is indeed somewhat unexpected, and it has indeed brought us a lot of good things that can change our lives, but there is a lot of luck in it, and it does not represent their military strength. ”
"That's right, as long as those local lords don't come home from mediocrity, unite and Chen Bing borders, they will definitely not be able to toss the waves. ”
"After talking for a long time, what you rely on in your hearts is still natural danger, but do you know what is the most powerful place for the Eternal Night Army to lead the army?
When we came back last year, it was still a muddy and difficult path, and the grass and trees grew more than half a person high, and when we went back the next year, it had become a spacious cement avenue, and horse-drawn carriages could fly.
This situation is not only limited to the Danube Plain, but also in their hometown of the Andes Mountains, there are countless winding roads, which will trample on the difficult mountains under their feet and become their smooth path.
In terms of the terrain of the terrain is undulating, the Andes Mountains are not much worse than the cliffs around our Huayu Plateau, and if they are given a little time, they will turn it into a second Andes Mountain, once they have crossed the natural danger.
What do you think we can do against their armies armed to the teeth?
Are the local lords and nobles as lazy as pigs?
To say that they are pigs is an insult to pigs.
At least put the pigs in their place, at most they eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and do not behave nonsense.
In their hands, printing and papermaking, which were used by the leaders of the Eternal Night Army to learn knowledge, became a tool for collecting money by printing vulgar and obscene works.
On the battlefield, black gunpowder, a sharp weapon for opening mountains and mines, arrived in their hands and became fireworks and firecrackers for entertainment.
Not to mention anything else, look at the defense force of our town, the garrison is old and small, not to mention training, many people don't even have weapons to take advantage of, when was the last time we changed our equipment? 10 years ago? or 15 years ago?
The noble private army of other lords is not necessarily better than our town, right?
Just by virtue of their encounters with well-trained regular soldiers?
When they went to war, if their legs weren't shivering, I would slap the table for them and drink three glasses. ”
A few glasses of ale mixed with inferior spirits were in his stomach, and little John was obviously a little let go, limping onto a solid wood table and talking.
While counting the unique advantages of the Eternal Night Military Leader, he also scolded the rotten noble lord class of the Flower Plateau for a bloody dog.
Only those who have repeatedly penetrated into the Eternal Night Military Leader know the terrifying development speed of this military leader who has only been in the past 20 years, especially after comparing it with his hometown that has not changed for 10,000 years, the psychological gap is even greater.
These people who have been to the Eternal Night Army Leader and seen the world will inevitably compare the two sides, whether it is the speed of development or the mode of development, including the mode of domination of both sides.
The result is obvious, the original ruling class of the Huayu Plateau was completely defeated, which naturally attracted great resentment and condemnation.
"Little John, you hurry up and give me down, you dare to say such a big rebellion, you are not afraid of letting those lackeys and thugs of the noble lord hear it, break your other leg, and make you completely unable to get out. ”
If these words reach the ears of those noble lords, it is not as simple as breaking their legs, not only will they put their lives into it, but even their own families will be implicated. ”
"Little John, if you don't keep your mouth shut, don't blame Daddy for not being affectionate and blasting you out, you want to die yourself, don't bother Daddy and Daddy's tavern. ”
"Little John must be drunk, and he is not lightly drunk, all he said just now is drunk, hurry up and drag him down. ”
"I'm not drunk, I know very well what I'm talking about, I'm not a revolutionary party, I'm just representing myself, a conscience of the flower language plateau, you, are waking up the sleeping family, if you don't do it again, it won't be long before the owner of this plateau is no longer us. ”
"He also said that he was not drunk, obviously he was not drunk, when did the plateau belong to us, the plateau belonged to those noble lords who were high up, and those noble lords were not worried, what do you have to worry about as a poor ghost who has eaten the last meal and has not eaten a meal, and can only drink the lowest grade of alcohol? Don't think that if you have run a few more places with the caravan, and a few more trips in and out of the Eternal Night Army, you will feel that you have grown capable, if you are really capable, you will understand that you will live and understand, I heard that the leaders of the Eternal Night Army have made a lot of money, why are you still a poor ghost?"
"Haha...... How do you know that I haven't made any money? Do you know how much profit I made in the first few years from the plateau to the Eternal Night Army? Three hundred percent, this is still a one-way trip, in our plateau a glass of wine, as long as you can transport it to the Eternal Night Army, you can sell it for three times the price, and on the third trip, I have a truck of my own, but the next year it is gone, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Do you need to ask? It must be a blessing to our noble lords. ”
"That's right, it's thanks to the blessing of those aristocratic lords, when the trade was carried out, they pushed back and blocked, and when the trade flourished, they coveted the huge profits, so they set up a name, cleverly took it, and there were toll checkpoints everywhere, and the villages and towns were eager to pick off a layer of oil from those merchants, especially the small businessmen like me who did not have Beijing were the most unlucky.
Not to mention that all the interests that originally belonged to us have been squeezed out, but also the wealth that belongs to us has been sucked clean, and the more you run, the more you lose, in exchange for you, can you still do this deal?
This is our noble lord, this is our noble lord!"
In the end, little John had an unconcealed resentment in his words.
The Eternal Night Army Leader has a good saying, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents.
The financial path they worked so hard to broaden was taken over in the blink of an eye, and they were excluded, even outsiders felt uncomfortable for them, let alone the parties involved.
It is no wonder that in recent years, the revolutionary parties on the Huayu Plateau have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Little John's experience is by no means unique, but very common, and it is the consistent urine of those greedy aristocratic lords, which has not changed for hundreds of years.
If it was changed to before, even if it was a loss, many people would either swallow their anger, or they would wander into the mountains and become mountain bandits and bandits who became the party to the disaster.
But this time it's different.
This time there's the Eternal Night, a military leader who made his way out of rebellion against the tyranny of slavery.
A more radical brewing ground for ideological currents.
In particular, after the Warlock Alliance broke the centuries-old convention and jointly established an academy with the Eternal Night Army Leader in Brother Harbor, and held an unprecedented scholar conference, countless sparks of ideas collided.
Many of the sparks of thought didn't take root in the Eternal Night, where there was already a thriving and energetic ruling class.
On the contrary, with the footsteps of the merchants, they were brought to various territories, and in those rotten lands, a group of flames were ignited, and they were burning more and more fiercely, wanting to completely ignite this rotten land.
Only by burning all the corrupting forces to ashes can new trees thrive on the ashes.
This is the manifesto of the party constitution of the Ash Party, which has a deep influence on the Flower Language Plateau.
They sought to overthrow the existing rotten elite class on the Huayu Plateau and establish a more complete and powerful territorial state.
The appearance of the Ash Party was undoubtedly in this pool of stagnant water on the Huayu Plateau, throwing a boulder, splashing not only waves, but also countless fishy muddy water.
Not only did the lords and nobles treat them like beasts of the wilderness and try to exterminate them completely, but even the common people also regard them as snakes and scorpions.
One of the reasons why ordinary people reacted in this way was that they were not knowledgeable enough to understand their thoughts.
The second is that they have maintained this way of life for generations, and they have long been numb and accustomed to it, and they are afraid of change and cannot adapt to change.
Little John's remarks in favor of the revolutionary party undoubtedly set off a big explosion in this small tavern, which completely ignited the atmosphere, and made many people a little flustered and at a loss, eager to gag each other's mouths.
Because they are afraid that listening to such rebellious remarks will bring unnecessary calamity to themselves.
Under normal circumstances, little John still knows a little bit of moderation, but this time he was affected by the military movements of the Eternal Night Army leader, coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, he couldn't hold it back anymore.
