Volume 1 The Eagle Flies to the End of the Han Dynasty Chapter 49 Distant Sorrow and Near Disaster
In the Wubao in the mountains, Jia Xu and Gao Shun sat opposite each other, both of them seemed to have great concerns, just staring at the fire in front of them that was "crackling", but they didn't say a word.
Nanying pushed the door in, and a cold wind rolled up pieces of snow and blew in, and the two of them were shocked and raised their heads together.
Nan Ying smiled: "Is it just the two of you? What about Chung Tak? ”
Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "He took Pu Hu and them out to buy salt a few days ago, but it snowed so heavily today, I'm afraid it will be a few days late to come back!" ”
Gao Shun looked at Nan Ying with fixed eyes, and said slowly: "Brother Xian, I look at your expression, could it be that I have an epiphany when I practice swordsmanship?" ”
Nan Ying smiled lightly and said, "This heavy snow may delay Zhongde's return, but it has helped me a lot!" ”
Gao Shunxi said: "Really? What do you realize? Tell us about it! ”
Nanying said solemnly: "Let's talk about this matter later, let's get down to business first!" ”
He turned his head to Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, you know the specific situation, right?" Tell us what you think, what's the best idea? ”
Jia Xu said slowly: "Oh, you mean that Hanzhong Taishou sent someone to investigate, right?" It's easy to hear! Then there was another sad face.
Nanying said in surprise: "Since it is so easy to deal with, why do you put on such a dead person's appearance?" ”
Jia Xu sighed: "Within a month, I have received 12 urgent reports in a row, but today I have received 6, to put it all in one thing, the epidemic in various places has suddenly intensified, and has gradually spread to the right Fufeng area of the division not far from us. ”
Gao Shun frowned and said, "This is not strange, right? Over the years, the plague has never stopped, but it has not been a large-scale epidemic, and the local courts have also taken some necessary prevention and control measures. ”
Nanying's brain flashed, and he couldn't help but cry out "ah" in his mouth.
Jia and Gao were shocked together: "What? ”
Nan Ying shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Wenhe, you go on, I want to hear your opinion on the plague!" ”
In just a few decades, the country's population plummeted from more than 50 million to 16 million, although the war was also half of the cause, but how many heroes did not die on the battlefield, but fell in the hands of the invisible disease, it is an indisputable fact.
Jia Xu said heavily: "Lord, this matter seems to have nothing to do with us people in remote mountains, but in fact, the impact on us and even the whole world can only be described in four words: earth-shattering!" ”
Gao Shun gasped and said, "Won't it?" It's just a plague! ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm alarmist, Gao Shuai, please look at these tips, they are transmitted from all directions almost at the same time, especially in the northeast, where the epidemic is the most serious, what does this mean?" ”
He sighed heavily: "A menacing plague has become a prairie fire and is sweeping the country!" ”
Gao Shun still didn't quite understand, and hesitated: "What does this have to do with us?" All we need to do is immediately recall all the people who are out of the home, so that there is no risk of being affected! ”
Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "Gao Shuai, you are so nonsense!" How does it matter to us? First, now that the Taiping Dao, the Wudoumi Sect, and even those Xiliang Zhuhu are all about to start an incident, do you think they will give up their plan to plot the world because of a plague? They may delay for three or five months, but they will eventually take risks and carry out the rebellion to the end, Hugh said that the plague in front of him and the war disaster in the near future, Lao Ziyun: After the soldiers, there will be a fierce year, who knows how many years this plague will last because of a long war? The people of the world are in danger! ”
Gao Shun snorted and said, "Not bad, not bad!" ”
Jia Xu continued: "Second, there is an old system in the court, but in the year of earthquakes, floods, and plagues, the officials of the foreign court will be blamed, that is to say, the officials of the foreign court will go up to the three dukes and down to the hundred officials, and there will be a major personnel change. Of course, this will accelerate the intensification of contradictions between China and the DPRK and foreign dynasties, and the situation in the world will become even more turbulent. We are bound to be attacked on all sides, and our future will be even more worrisome! Third.........
Nan Ying was curious in his heart, and couldn't help but interrupt: "What are China and North Korea? ”
Jia Xu was stopped from talking and glared: "Lord, you don't even know this, do you!" ”
Nanying said embarrassedly: "I really don't know, please ask Wenhe for advice!" ”
Jia Xu had to put aside the "third" argument for the time being, and patiently explained: "The so-called China Dynasty and the Outer Dynasty are actually two groups of officials who are close to the emperor, the Outer Dynasty is composed of those officials who have a fixed term of office, such as the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, and the China Dynasty is composed of relatives and eunuchs who serve for life. In the former Han Dynasty, the power of the foreign dynasty was too great, and even the imperial power was subject to many restrictions, for this reason, Emperor Wu first suppressed the power of the prime minister, and then granted the post of general to the uncle Wei Qing, and then set up Shangshutai to decompose the power of the foreign dynasty, forming a Chinese dynasty that can compete with the foreign dynasty. ”
He sighed: "Since the beginning of this dynasty, the dispute between China and the DPRK has never stopped, and it has become more and more intense, although the power of China and the DPRK is strong, suppressing the foreign dynasty, and prohibiting a large number of scholars from entering the court as officials through the 'party system', which has seriously weakened the strength of the foreign dynasty and has been able to control the government for many years, but the open and secret struggle between its internal relatives and eunuchs is even more tragic!" Alas! Today's court situation can only be described by the word 'chaos'! ”
Nanying and Gao Shun were silent when they heard it, and they fully understood the reason for Fang Cai's worries.
Nan Ying thought for a while and said, "Dare to ask Wen He, what is this party?" ”
Jia Xu couldn't help but feign anger and said, "Lord, can't you listen to me first?" ”
Nanying hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered: "I'm sorry, I'm off topic again, Wen He, please continue!" ”
Jia Xu lowered his head instead, and said after a while: "Lord, the third is that we are also in danger!" ”
Nan and Gao both lost their voices and said, "What? ”
Jia Xu's thin face showed a rare solemn look and said, "Do you two talk nonsense?" I'll do the math for you! Today, there are nearly 40,000 people in my Eagle's Nest, but the cultivated land outside the city is at most to feed half of the people, so where will the rest of the food come from? It all depends on sitting on the gold mountain and continuously purchasing grain from all over the country to sustain it. If the plague is not eliminated, the people of the world will be empty, and dare to ask where the food source comes from? Although we now have millions of stone of grain, we are just sitting on a mountain and eating nothing! ”
He smiled bitterly: "Once the country's agriculture collapses, the price of grain will soar to an incredible price, and even have no price, and the gold we rely on for survival will gradually become no different from mud!" At that time, it will also be the time when our eagle's nest falls apart! ”
Nanying and Gao Shun were thrilled to hear it, and they couldn't help but have cold sweat on their foreheads.
Half-loud, Gao Shun still said in disbelief: "Sir, it shouldn't be that serious, right?" It must be known that it is the middle of winter, and it is snowing heavily in various places around the area, so the epidemic should be effectively contained, right? ”
Before Jia Xu could answer, Nan Ying had already said resolutely: "Big brother, there is no need to say that this plague will never be eliminated because of this, but will only become more and more raging." We can only prepare for the worst! ”
Gao Shun thought of his control of history, his heart was cold, and he could no longer speak.
Nan Ying thought about it again and again, and finally said in a deep voice: "Immediately Flying Eagle will pass the book, recall all the manpower outside, and stop all the foreign affairs in your hands." At the same time, the Eagle's Nest is completely blocked, no one is allowed to go out without my consent, and those who return must be examined by a doctor before they can be put in! ”
Gao Shun and Jia Xu were both taken aback, they didn't expect Nanying to react so violently.
Gao Shun couldn't help but say: "But Brother Xian, in this way, all our scouts will be recalled, and we will become deaf and blind from now on!" Outside intelligence is no longer known! ”
Nanying waved his hand and said, "Big brother, please believe me, once the plague accidentally enters the eagle's nest, it will be a catastrophe!" You know the truth that a spark can start a prairie fire! ”
Gao Shun's throat rolled, and finally he let out a long sigh and stopped talking.
Nan Ying cleaned up his mood, temporarily put the troubles caused by the plague behind him, and smiled at Jia Xu: "Wenhe, you seem to have a solution to the problem of Hanzhong Taishou!" ”
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment before he said: "Lord, you really have the style of a general, you can recover your composure so quickly, but .........."
Nan Ying pressed Jia Xu's shoulders with both hands, and his eyes radiated an extremely firm look, and said: "Wenhe, the soldiers will come to the future, the water will come to cover the earth, there will always be a solution to the problem, but we must not mess up our own position, let alone lose confidence." Believe me, after the matter of Hanzhong Taishou is resolved, we will definitely think of a good way to deal with the plague! ”
Jia Xu looked at Gao Shun and couldn't help sighing: "Gao Shuai, look, with the Lord like this, what else do we have to worry about?" ”
He said confidently with blazing eyes: "Don't worry, the lord, I have heard Gao Shuai say that the lord wants to use the other way and return the strategy of the other, then we can give him a way to lead the way to the east!" ”
Nanying and Gao Shun exclaimed together: "Disaster to the east? ”
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Not bad! It's just that in this case, my lord, you still need to allow me to mobilize manpower again before the lockdown order is issued, and this time I'm afraid that the Ban Dun, Qiang Cavalry, and the trapped camps will all be dispatched together! ”
