Pei Min returned to the Jiedu Envoy Mansion angrily. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuan Luqian just took a breath, and he didn't rest for long, when he saw Pei Min coming back violently.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Luqian asked with concern.

"I'm!" Pei Min wiped the sweat on his face, shook it casually, and shot a straight line on the ground.

"When is it, two old stubborns. One said that he exceeded his authority, and the other was even more funny, saying that the locusts could not be killed to anger the locust god. The more he spoke, the more angry he became, slapped his palm on the wooden pillar on the side, and said angrily: "If I have real power, I must remove the two of them from office." ”

Yuan Luqian hurriedly said: "Brother Pei is cautious! ”

After a pause, he said: "At present, drought and locust plagues are coming, and Longyou is full of bad luck. In the face of such a situation, even if there are no Longyou particles left this year, they will not be much guilty. However, if you act rashly and cause greater calamity, you will not be pleased. ”

Pei Min said angrily: "They are not punished, what about the people, and what is the future of Longyou?" Locusts are rampant, the heavens and the earth are not green, how many years will it take to recover? Forget it, it's pointless to say so much now, and immediately convey my orders. As soon as the envoys of the 19th Army received the order, they immediately ordered all the soldiers and horses to pursue the locust settlements in the various states, and extinguish the locusts with torches. ”

Yuan Luqian hesitated for a moment and said: "There are rumors in this world that killing locusts is ominous, but I am afraid that the order will be conveyed, and there will be a voice of resistance." ”

Pei Min said mercilessly: "No matter who it is, if you dare to resist, you will be expelled directly from the Longyou Army!" Add this sentence more, even the locusts don't have the courage to kill, and they still expect them to go into battle for the Tang Dynasty and kill the enemy for me? Such a delicate character, don't do it. ”

Yuan Luqian did not hesitate and issued an appointment.

Pei Min also has some helplessness in his heart at the moment, in the face of the locust plague, the most effective way is to exterminate the locusts, and eliminate all the locusts as much as possible, so as to prevent the appearance of a terrible situation that covers the sky and the earth.

In order to effectively eradicate locusts, it is necessary to mobilize the strength of all the people in the state capital.

Only when the people work together can we defeat the locust plague.

The number of Longyou Army was indeed quite large, but it was scattered in twelve states, and each state was evenly divided between about 5,000 soldiers. And once the plague of locusts comes, the locusts will be numbered in the hundreds of millions.

Pei Min had never seen a locust plague in the 21st century, and most places in China in later generations no longer had a soil for locust breeding. But he had seen a real video clip of a locust plague, where locusts flew all over the sky, and a large area of black pressure was so overwhelming that even the sun was obscured. They are like warships, leaving nothing behind wherever they go.

About 5,000 soldiers in a state will not be able to do much, but if the people are mobilized, the situation will be completely different.

As long as the lethality of locusts is aimed at plants, it rarely hurts people, and the damage to people is extremely limited. Even a child, dancing from side to side with torches, can easily destroy more than 100 of them.

If the hundreds of thousands of people in Longyou can work together, why worry that the locust plague cannot be stopped.

However, Wu Hua and Tong Hao are cautious and stubborn, and the other is superstitious, which is really hateful.

After thinking about it, this matter can't be counted like this.

Even if there was a glimmer of life, Pei Min had to try, and immediately he wrote an eight-hundred-mile urgent letter to Li Longji again, reporting his thoughts, hoping that he could issue an order to mobilize the people of Longyou and participate in the operation of exterminating locusts and killing locusts, so as to minimize the danger of locust plague.

When Pei Min's expedited was still on the way, the Manchu civil and military forces in the court were already arguing about the locust plague.

Yao Chong, a famous minister who has gone to the phase, is expressing his opinion above the court at the moment.

In all fairness, if Yao Chong's temperament wasn't too extreme, Li Longji wouldn't have withdrawn him at all. However, although Yao Chong gave Li Longji a phase, he still paid special attention to him.

Yao Chong was allowed to go to court once every five days without an official position, and he would also be consulted on major matters.

Now that drought and locust plague are occurring together, compared to Song Jing, who is calm and good at governing officials! Yao Chong's ability to deal with such a major incident really made Li Longji pay attention.

"Your Majesty, locusts are but a pest, and the people are foolish enough to regard them as heaven's punishment. Coupled with the incitement and distortion of ill-intentioned people, it caused the people of the Quartet to burn incense and pray to God, taking advantage of their blind obedience to eliminate disasters and seek blessings, forming this situation. In the face of locusts, we must not compromise, let alone sit idly by and let them eat the crops that our people have worked so hard to plant. Yao Chong said categorically.

However, Yao Chong at this moment is not the Yao Chong of the past.

In the past, Yao Chong was a hall of words in the court, and a fart was fragrant, and his words were one and the same, almost as effective as the holy decree.

But now Yao Chong is just a white body, and Li Longji has to make an exception to be qualified to express his views in this court.

For the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Yao Chong's golden signboard has no deterrent effect.

As soon as his words fell, someone immediately stood up to argue.

Lu Huaishen, who has always been Yao Chong's younger brother, was the first to stand up against it, and said loudly: "Locusts are natural disasters, how can they be eliminated by manpower?" Besides, there are too many insects, which will hurt the heavens and the peace, and I am afraid of retribution! ”

Immediately, another Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, only virtue cultivation can eliminate natural disasters, not vain killings. And don't listen to the experience of the former Zhao Liu Cong, does Yao Gong want my Datang to repeat the mistakes of the former Zhao? ”

Liu Cong of the former Zhao was the monarch of Han and Zhao during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and during Liu Cong's reign, there was also a large-scale locust plague in the territory. Liu Cong ordered the elimination of locusts, but the locusts were eliminated more and more, and the locust plague could not be eliminated, spreading throughout Han and Zhao, causing great damage to Han Zhao's national strength.

At that time, the court was in a state of discussion, and most of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty thought that locusts were not suitable for hunting.

Yao Chong looked at the situation in front of him with some sadness, if he was in the past, could there be anyone who dared to speak in this Manchu Dynasty?

This down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and it really is.

Yao Chong sighed a little disheartened.

Li Longji saw that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were opposed to the killing of locusts, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so after hesitating again and again, he could only choose to discuss again.

Back in the apse, Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to invite Yao Chong.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as he saw Li Longji, Yao Chong immediately said in a loud voice: "The Book of Songs says: 'Bingbi thief, pay the flame'. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty also issued an edict: 'Obey the current politics and persuade the superintendent of Nongsang. Go to the moths, and the thieves'. History shows that all this is enough to prove that the extermination of locusts is in accordance with the way of heaven, and it is by no means an ominous move. In ancient times, there were many locust plagues, but they refused to hunt and kill because of the same situation, so that the fields were not harvested and the people couldnnibalism, which was really a tragedy in the world. Let me ask Your Majesty, what is more miserable in this world than cannibalism among the people? It is better to exterminate the locusts, if not all, than to remain and form a plague! ”

Li Longji also thought so, and no longer hesitated, and sent the imperial history of the DPRK and China, ordering them to be the locust hunting envoys and go to Longyou to supervise the extermination of locusts in various places.
