Chapter 354: The Plague in Yingzhou
Although he was relieved of the Ten Thousand Ancient Seals, thinking about the terrifying aspects of the Blood Lotus Sect, he felt that it was still necessary to mention a few words about the Ancient Seals.
"But you have to pay special attention to one thing, when we let Wang Gan enter Xinzhou, it was to use his hand to eradicate the large and small families in Xinzhou. Now the family is gone, but I'm worried that there are still remnants of the Blood Lotus Sect here, these people are even more terrifying than the family, you must clean them up with your heart. Also, when recruiting displaced people, not a single one from Yingzhou is needed. ”
Gu Feng couldn't help nodding, "General, I don't have too many requests for money, can you send us some seeds, farm tools and big livestock." You also know that the autumn harvest is coming soon, and the winter wheat cannot be delayed, and these things are indispensable. ”
Qin Forget smiled dumbly, "I can't give you too much support, but how can I not give you a little support?" Recently, you have to keep these people, and this batch of supplies is out of Akagi. In a little while, I will send you seeds, farm tools, and livestock. ”
"Thank you, General." Gu Feng happily thanked him again and again, "I still have an idea, so far there is definitely not enough labor in Xinzhou, can I ask General Xu or General Liu's soldiers to help, such a large area of land is not all planted, it is really a waste." ”
Qin Forget groaned slightly, "Half army and half peasant? It's not impossible, but on the premise of ensuring the safety of Xinzhou, you can discuss other things with General Xu himself, and he will come to see me later, and I will mention a few words to him. ”
"Okay, then I'll be relieved." Gu Feng smiled with satisfaction.
"Alright, I'll leave tomorrow, let me take a good look at this land!" Qin Forget cast his gaze into the distance again.
Listening to Gu Feng's footsteps getting farther and farther away, Qin Forget took out the red sandalwood vermilion box from his arms, and kept stroking it in his hand, "Dad, mother, do you say that your son is a good person or a bad person now?" It was a last resort to lure Wang Gan into New State, but his son really didn't expect that it would cause such a big plague and harm so many people. My son will definitely go to hell, right? Do you blame me? ”
As he spoke, a tear fell on the box and shattered.
There are so many things happening in Xinzhou, no one knows the pain in Qin Forget's heart. Whether it was the extermination of the rebellious people under Wang Tian's hands, or the plague caused by the war, Qin Forget remembered it all on his head. He felt that if he hadn't led Wang Gan into Xinzhou, this would not have happened, and in the dead of night or when no one was around, he would take out the box left by his mother and ask such a sentence secretly.
"The last general, Xu Shijun, has seen the general!" A calm voice interrupted Qin Wang's contemplation.
"General Xu is here? Come here and take a good look at this new state! Qin Forget saw Xu Shijun coming, and greeted him warmly, to say that this Xu Shijun is also unexpected, his talent is just a little weaker, Qin Forget also values him very much, "Such a large area, I will hand it over to General Xu, don't be suspicious."
Abandon me, the general must be careful. ”
"General rest assured, I will focus on defense in Xinzhou, and I am not very sure, and I will not take the initiative to attack." Xu Shijun stepped forward and walked to the city wall, looking at the vast Xinzhou Wilderness Road.
"That's good, five thousand sets of iron armor will definitely not be able to be saved, for the sake of your family, you have to return these things to that Zhao Qian. But don't worry, we can also produce this kind of iron armor in Akagi, and we have a lot of reserves, so I'll send you 5,000 sets when I go back. Hearing that Xu Shijun planned to focus on defense, Qin Forget nodded with satisfaction and said again.
"Really, General?" Xu Shijun asked in surprise and joy.
"As for this expression? Your nearly 5,000 ironclad veterans are without ironclad, aren't they toothless tigers? It's a pity! The opening was five thousand sets of iron armor, and Qin Wang's face did not change at all.
Xu Shijun sighed, "They all say that the general is benevolent and righteous, and they all say that the general is broad-minded, and I, Xu Shijun, have seen it today." The fact that the general is willing to give us these newly attached troops such equipment is really admirable! ”
After speaking, Xu Shijun bowed deeply to Qin Forget with admiration on his face.
"How much have you been wronged before, you people? Is it so much to admire? I have promised to be a general, and I will do to your brothers as I would do to my men. He's gone to Akagi now, and I'll say that to you once. Qin Forget smiled and said.
"Don't suffer from inequality, the general's move is exactly what it should mean." Xu Shijun couldn't help nodding.
"Also, Xinzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and if you plant in the spring and harvest in the autumn in the future, your military may have to help Gu Feng. The civil ancient seal is dominant, and the military is dominated by you. It would be a pity that such a large piece of land would be abandoned because there were not enough manpower. Qin Forget mentioned the idea that Gu Feng thought of to Xu Shijun again.
"Okay, I'll discuss this with Master Gu." Xu Shijun also agreed.
Yingzhou Tianwang Mansion.
Wang Gan's many generals gathered together, and Wang Gan's deacon hall was packed.
Don't look at the army composed of just a group of refugees, it may be because Wang Gan was born as a scholar, and their deacon hall is also decorated. Their deacon hall is the former Yingzhou Prefecture Office, but it is decorated with gold and splendor, without much serious and solemn atmosphere, and it looks a bit nondescript.
These generals were all dressed in white clothes and white armor, but they had a bright red silk wrapped around their foreheads, and their clothes were embroidered with bright red lotus flowers ranging from one to nine according to different ranks, and the religious meaning was very strong. Some people still have a lot of gold ornaments and jade hanging on their bodies, and they have a strong nouveau riche smell.
Wang Gan looked at the generals below with a gloomy face, he proclaimed himself the king of heaven, wearing a bright yellow robe, and a red silk on his forehead, the difference was that the clothes were not embroidered with lotus flowers, but
It's a lifelike golden dragon. Next to him sat Wang Tian, who also had an unpleasant complexion, dressed in a light yellow robe with a Jiao embroidered on his clothes.
"Heavenly King, because many of the soldiers brought back by the marshal in Xinzhou have been infected with the plague, and now it has spread, and tens of thousands of people in the army have been infected, and I hope that the Heavenly King will have an idea!" A middle-aged general with nine red lotus flowers embroidered on his clothes walked out and kowtowed.
After the general finished speaking, many people's eyes looked at Wang Tian, and many people had both disdain and anger in their eyes.
Wang Tian treats his subordinates very harshly, but he is very tolerant of his own brothers. Wang Tian was appointed as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses at a young age and before he could make an inch. Even this time when the army was defeated in Xinzhou and brought back the plague, Wang Gan didn't say anything, but just admonished a few words lightly, which made everyone very dissatisfied.
Looking at everyone's eyes, Wang Tian's face was full of shame and anger, and he stared at the middle-aged general, eager to eat him alive. But he is a little weak, that middle-aged man is called Feng Shi, one of the four Nine Lotus generals in Wang Tian's army, there are a full 50,000 soldiers under his command, and he is a bold person, and he has some connections in the army. Among the other three Nine Lotus generals, Tong Zhaogang and Zhang Yi have a very good relationship with him, and Wang Ergou, who is the only hardcore confidant of Wang Tian, is a waste, compared with the other three, it is too bad.
It is worth mentioning that this Wang Ergou is the guy who was clamoring for chaos at Chen Wan'er's door to rob the Wang family, this guy has no ability, but he is extremely excited. Back then, with Wang Gan escaping from Chicheng, and in the past few years, he has been extremely flattering to Wang Gan's brothers and willingly followed, this kid also mixed up with the position of the Nine Lotus General, so naturally everything is based on Wang Tianma. Of course, now people don't call Wang Ergou anymore, and change his name to Wang Xiaogan, expressing his admiration for Wang Gan, and doing his best to stammer.
Hearing Feng Shi's disrespectful words, this guy hurriedly jumped out, "General Feng, is this going to be a crime?" The marshal just accidentally fell in touch with those demons, but can the plague blame the marshal? This is the Blood Lotus Ancestor purging the demons. Hmph, look at it, it won't be long before those demons in Xinzhou will die left, and when the time comes, our Blood Lotus Army will take back Xinzhou without blood! ”
Wang Ergou, no, it should be called Wang Xiaogan As soon as his words fell, he immediately won the approval of a large number of people, and more than half of Wang Gan's loyal followers reprimanded Feng Shi one after another.
Feng Shi sneered again and again, to achieve his position, he had long stopped believing in the so-called Blood Lotus Ancestor, and no one like them knew that it was a means to coax fools and fools.
"General Wang is right, but dare to ask General Wang how to deal with the plague in our army, or you go to the sky to beg the Blood Lotus Ancestor and his old man, so that he can take back the plague on the brothers and not be injured by mistake again?" Feng Shi said mockingly.
"You ......" Wang Xiaogan was speechless, he couldn't say that he really went to heaven, right? He hasn't lived long enough.
