Chapter 33 Recent Developments

"Oh my God, what are you going to do!"

"No, it hasn't rained in more than two months."

"All the crops of the earth are dead, oh!"

"Now that the imperial court is overhauling the official road, I heard that it is still recruiting a large number of people, and I will eat three meals a day, and I am ready to sign up."

"That's right, let's go together. I don't know where the imperial court got so much money, and this big official road has been built until we come to Miyun. ”……

Lu Jiude and the soldiers of the 20,000 brave guards had just cleaned up the Qiangziling Pass, and the officials and generals of the Qiangziling Pass returned to Miyun City with more than 100 carts of supplies.

Along the way, I looked at the cracked earth everywhere and heard all kinds of discussions from people along the way, and I felt very emotional.

Ordinary fields are now uncultivateable, but there are no problems in large farms.

You must know that every large farm has at least two or more large deep wells, and the water source is not a problem.

There are still dozens of miles away from returning to Miyun City, and I saw a mighty road construction army, and the terrifying huge official road also appeared in front of me.

On the side of the avenue, there is a large farm on the left and right, covering an area of more than 10,000 acres, which is rising from the ground at a speed that is visible to the eye, and the number of construction troops here alone exceeds two million!

"The emperor is really far-sighted and courageous!"

Lu Jiude sighed again.

He was in charge of cleaning up the guards of the Daguan Road from the capital all the way to the Miyun Guard, and along the way, he saw almost a mess everywhere.

Almost all the fields you see along the way have been abandoned, and the drought has displaced countless people, but also provided a large number of people for the Royal Construction Company.

Passing by, Lu Jiude cleaned up a place, arrested and destroyed almost all officials, big and small, and actually obtained enough grain and grass for the road-building army to use for more than a month, and there was no need to transfer it from the capital at all.

Those officials with fat brains are in stark contrast to the mess everywhere.

Next, he only needs to protect the road construction army, build the Daguan Road between the Wall Ziling and the Miyun Guard, and wait until all the big farms along the road are built, he will complete this task, and he will be able to return to the capital to meet the emperor.

"I don't know how the road that Wang Qinian is responsible for is going."

After the Yongwei Army expanded to 100,000 people, he was immediately appointed by the emperor as the deputy commander of the Yongwei Army, responsible for cleaning and defending the front line from the capital to Shanhaiguan.

Thinking of this, he looked at a special carriage beside him.

It was a carriage like no other, a big carriage, a four-wheeled carriage that had never been seen before.

Not only is it huge, but it's also very flexible, and it doesn't wobble even when it gallops down the avenue.

However, this new carriage is now occupied by a mythical bird that looks like a phoenix.

In the middle of the large carriage open on all sides, a large bird's nest was made with various nuts and grains.

This big carriage is the moving nest of the divine bird!

This is a real divine bird, not only is it a gorgeous and divine horse, but it is so smart that it is almost like a person.

This divine bird and the big carriage were sent by the emperor yesterday evening, saying that the divine bird was responsible for the communication between himself and the emperor.

Yesterday, Lu Jiude wrote a note on the big and small matters of this period of time, and according to the emperor's letter, he tied the fold to the leg of the sacred bird and released it.

As a result, just one night later, this divine bird brought back the emperor's secret fold!

In the midst of the secret folds, the emperor appreciated his work and affirmed it, explaining that he must do a good job in the reinforcement, repair and renovation of the Miyun Rear Guard and the Wallziling Pass, and garrison 10,000 troops at each of the two passes to do a good job in defense.

With this practical connection with the emperor, today Lu Jiude is eager to offer it to the Divine Bird!

It is no wonder that the emperor personally built such an exquisite and practical carriage to make a mobile nest for the sacred bird.

……

Wang Qinian, who Lu Jiude never forgot, is now really busy.

After he had just led an army of 30,000 to surround Jizhou Town, he immediately began to arrest, interrogate, and exterminate him.

This Jizhou Town, which is different from Jizhou City a hundred miles away, is a large military town, with many generals and officials, including the general soldiers, and the work of arrest has become very complicated.

What is more important is to disarm and detain those officers and soldiers and the guards of large families......

He had been given a sacred bird and a new four-wheeled carriage as he had done yesterday, and his amazement was no less than that of Lu Jiude.

Wang Qinian immediately tried to use the divine bird to contact the emperor's practice, and after getting the emperor's receipt, he was ecstatic, and offered the divine bird the same, and sent a team of elite soldiers to guard it closely.

Timely communication is the biggest problem for the army when they are away from home.

Today, this problem is no longer a problem at all, and it plays an incredible role in war.

Wang Qinian's work situation is much more complicated than Lu Jiude's journey.

There are as many as seven or eight large guard posts along the way, as well as many large and medium-sized towns and rivers, and nearly half of the time spent on building huge bridges.

Of course, his journey, whether it is the army or the road construction army, is much larger than Lu Jiude's journey.

There are 50,000 soldiers in the Yongwei Battalion alone.

The number of road builders is even more numerous, so far, at least more than five million!

And the number of people is increasing rapidly.

Moreover, the commander-in-chief of this road, Yan Yingyuan was personally in charge, and nearly 800 officials of various kinds were sent to assist and deal with various matters.

Therefore, despite the fact that there are a lot of things encountered, the super official road and the big farm have been steadily and orderly advancing towards the destination, and have not encountered much resistance.

……

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask for."

Early in the morning of this day, Hong Chengchou came to the imperial city to ask for a meeting.

"Hong Aiqing, what's the matter, you might as well say it directly." Zhu Youxiao asked in some surprise.

"Your Majesty, please borrow two divine dogs for a few days."

After Hong Chengchou saw the magic of the four big dogs, he found some hidden dangers in the capital, and he didn't have a good way, so he immediately thought of several divine dogs of the emperor.

"Recently, there have been more and more people in the capital, and there are many people with bad intentions, although the minister has ordered people to arrest more than 100 people, there are still some rats lurking in the capital."

"Therefore, the best way is to invite the divine dog to explore around in the capital."

Hong Chengchou said his purpose, "The divine dog is extremely sensitive to danger and malice, and it is estimated that it will be easy to capture all those mice." ”

He knew that two days ago, four divine dogs suddenly rioted in the imperial city!

In a short period of time, they bit off the thighs of two female escort officers, and pulled out several bags of rice noodles mixed with poison in the imperial dining room, which scared Zhu Youxiao a lot!

Subsequently, frightened, he took four big dogs to inspect the entire imperial city, and arrested several members of the female guardian team of the imperial city with malicious intentions!

And these nearly ten female guards of the imperial city were all recruited by the queen in the capital a few days ago.

After interrogation, it was found that these were the female relatives of the officials who had their homes raided. Having narrowly escaped, they want to infiltrate the imperial city and avenge their families.

Zhu Youxiao, who was furious in his heart, ordered that in the future, when the imperial city recruited any palace maid or escort personnel, he must let the super big dog inspect it.

Even all kinds of foreign food and any items must be tested by the mutant dog before they can enter the imperial city.

And these jobs, for mutant dogs, are very easy, you just need to come forward and smell it.

They are more powerful than people can imagine.

Therefore, after knowing the cause and effect of this incident, Hong Chengchou, for his own work, prevented the outbreak of hidden dangers in the capital, and there was today's scene.

"Well, I agree."

Of course, Zhu Youxiao agreed with Hong Chengchou's request, and he didn't want any hidden dangers in the capital.

After a while, Hong Chengchou, who was overjoyed, left the imperial city with T62 and T68, two mutated dogs, and couldn't wait to start a large-scale search for the capital.
