Chapter 956: The Southern Wilderness Drought is Coming!
Chapter 956: The Southern Wilderness Drought is Coming!
Time flies, more than a month has passed since Yao Yun issued a warning to the Zhuxia Dynasty, and the Zhuxia Dynasty and the Southern Wilderness are calm and calm, and there is no sign of a catastrophe at all.
It is precisely because of this that there is no criticism about Yao Yun in the countries of the Southern Wilderness, and the infamy of selling fame, seeking personal gain, alarmism, and so on fell on Yao Yun's head like snowflakes, and the aura of Fang Bo in the past was instantly covered up by criticism.
In the face of everyone's criticism, Yao Yun did not pay attention to it, but devoted himself to infrastructure construction and water conservancy.
Water conservancy to rejuvenate the country, this is not a joke in ancient society, even if Yao Yun's speculation is wrong, there is no disaster, these water conservancy projects are built, it is also beneficial to the country and the people, and it is a merit for the future.
This is more than half a year.
In the past six months, there have been no large-scale military battles in the Southern Wilderness, nor have there been major disasters, and Xiguo has gone all out to build dams, lakes, ditches, rivers and other water conservancy facilities.
It is worth mentioning that the wind and rain have been smooth for most of the year, and this year's autumn harvest in the southern wilderness countries has a bumper harvest again, and after the autumn grain is harvested, it has greatly enriched the treasury and granaries in various places, strengthened the war background of the Zhuxia Dynasty, and added some confidence to the conquest of the southern barbarian countries.
On the other side, under the absorption of the divine artifact Purple Gold Gourd, the power of the Colorful Poisonous Miasma was greatly weakened, and the strong ghosts and gods could already come and go freely.
When the spring of the next year begins, the colorful poisonous miasma will be further diluted, and mortal qi refiners will be able to break through;
And by the middle of the next year, the Colorful Poison Miasma Array will be completely broken, and there will be no hindrance for the Zhuxia army to move south!
The whole situation is very good!
While the armies of Zhuxia were overjoyed, they inevitably brought up the old things one by one, openly and secretly ridiculing Yao Yun's so-called "Ancient Golden Crow Spirit" crisis, and for a while, Yao Yun became the laughing stock of the major emperors in Middle-earth.
Every time the Nanban issue is mentioned, it will be ridiculed and used as a negative example to teach the juniors in the clan.
Once Yao Yun defeated the three princes, the scenery was immeasurable, the limelight overshadowed Emperor Ziqi in one fell swoop, both civil and military, overwhelmed the world's leaders, and became the first day of Zhuxia worthy of the name, but in just half a year, Yao Yun's reputation for the halo was greatly reduced.
"After all, Xihou grew up in a small place, and his vision is a little worse after all, in the past, he could still call for wind and rain in the small pool of the Southern Wilderness Kingdoms, but now it is a battle for the world, and it is normal for him to look away, the so-called [Zhuxia First Day Pride] is a little exaggerated, and it is not worthy of the name!"
"It can't be said that Xihou's ability to govern the country is still worthy of recognition, even the Son of Heaven is full of praise, and there are a few people in the entire Zhuxia who can compare to him. ”
"In terms of governing the country, Yao Yun is indeed the first person of the young generation, no one can control him, but when it comes to marching and fighting, and the country is fighting, now it seems that Yao Yun is far worse than Emperor Ziqi, timid and afraid of things, and scaring himself..."
......
That's a whole winter.
Twenty-four years of the Xi calendar, spring.
Last year, the winter of the Southern Wilderness was very peaceful, and in previous years, there would be snow disasters of different sizes in various parts of the Southern Wilderness, but this year it was only a light snowfall, which was a little warmer than before.
Many people in the Zhuxia coalition army habitually pulled Yao Yun out to "whip the corpse", and began the preparatory work in a laughing and laughing, on the one hand, Tuntian spring ploughing, and on the other hand, training elite divisions to prepare for war.
The armies of all walks of life and the ghosts and gods of all sides relayed to urge the purple gold gourd to intercept the colorful poisonous miasma of the Celestial Empire army becoming thinner and thinner.
There is still half a year to go, and the Colorful Poison Miasma Array can be completely broken, and there is no barrier between Zhuxia and the Southern Barbarian Kingdoms!
The Celestial Empire coalition army held back year after year, and seeing that the time was ripe, they would soon be able to step on the southern barbarians, screaming one by one, and their fighting spirit was high.
However, when everyone was excited and excited, and they were preparing for a big battle, there were reports of water shortage and drought from time to time in the tuntians and cities in various parts of the Southern Wilderness.
In fact, even in the southern wilderness with abundant rainfall, water shortage and drought are common, because all countries generally do not have perfect water conservancy facilities, and cultivated land and farming depend entirely on God's food, once there is no rain for several days, it is very easy for water shortage and drought to occur in various places, and the problem of cultivated land cannot be irrigated.
Looking at the whole world, the water conservancy of Xi is the most developed, and there are few droughts in these years, and other vassal states will encounter the problem of water shortage and drought under their rule every year.
However, in the past, the situation was relatively light, and various localities diverted water for irrigation according to local conditions, and generally did not cause much chaos.
This year, however, the situation was different, with no rain for half a month, and drought of varying degrees in various places.
At the beginning, the commanders of the Southern Wilderness countries and the Zhuxia army didn't take it seriously.
However, as more and more reports of water shortage and drought in various parts of the Southern Wilderness and the inability of farmland to be irrigated by water drifted like snowflakes to the palaces of princes and feudal monarchs, this time finally attracted the attention of the emperors of Middle-earth and the monarchs of various countries in the Southern Wilderness.
The Zhuxia army, which was waiting for him, suddenly became nervous, and a bad feeling rose in his heart!
The barracks tent in the Zhuxia Alliance!
Lao Situ sat on the main seat, flanked by the leading figures of the major imperial clans in Middle-earth, the commanders of the major elite divisions, full, there were hundreds of people, and the princes of the entire coalition army and the commanders of the armies were all present, and the lineup was not luxurious.
According to the plan, the Great Destruction of the Colorful Poison Miasma Array was imminent, and the Zhuxia Coalition Army should have strategized at this time, discussed the offensive route, and fought with high morale to fight through the heavenly moat to kill the southern wilderness countries, but at this time, everyone's faces were very solemn, and there was no excitement about the imminent war.
Lao Situ's face was gloomy, and he didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point: "I summoned you this time because there are rumors of water shortage and drought in various parts of the Southern Wilderness, and the old man asks you, how is the situation under your rule?"
Lao Situ didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, the whole big tent was boiling.
"Old Situ, the rumors are true, it hasn't rained for days, and the five cities under the rule of the widow have all suffered from a shortage of arable land and water, and the widow has gathered a total of eight cities, and most of the territory has suffered. ”
"Under my rule, except for the cities and villages near the river, most of the farmland lacks water and cannot be irrigated, and if it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid a big drought is coming!"
"That's what I'm talking about, this matter is not trivial, we are planting paddy fields all over the southern wilderness, there is no water to irrigate the farmland, the seedlings just planted are about to die, this year's crops are determined to reduce yield, no harvest, after the drought is a great famine...."
......
The countries of the Southern Wilderness and the armies of the Middle Earth have reported that the autonomous subordinate, large and small, have encountered the situation that the farmland is short of water and cannot be irrigated.
At first, everyone complained bitterly, but when they heard that everyone said that there was a shortage of water in the farmland, somehow, the field quieted down.
Water scarcity, drought, disaster......
These words kept coming to everyone's minds, and their faces were full of horror.
