Chapter 702: Natural Disasters Descend, Kyushu Shakes (7)

"Lord Wang, did you have this kind of speculation about the arrival of natural disasters before? Otherwise, how would you have made us store food and herbs vigorously? Chen Chong asked.

Wang Mang replied: "I had this premonition before, but I couldn't determine the specific time. Now I can almost conclude that a huge natural disaster is coming, and the earthquake in Xiguan and Longnan County is just the beginning. It is precisely because of this hunch that I refuse to send troops to the outside world.

At present, the food we store does not belong to us, but belongs to the whole world, and it is the life-saving food of the entire people of Kyushu. This is also the reason why I refused to allocate more food to Huo Rongsheng for disaster relief. Everyone, let's think about it, we only have so much food in total, and if we use too much on our side, what about the rest of Kyushu? ”

"My lord is really like a god, and my subordinates admire it." Everyone praised in unison, admiring Wang Mang's foresight from the bottom of their hearts.

Wang Mang was able to anticipate what was happening now in two and a half years, and made corresponding arrangements and arrangements, they felt that Wang Mang was simply an omnipotent god, who could pinch and calculate, and had the ability to turn the universe upside down.

At this moment, everyone understood why Wang Mang had abandoned the training of soldiers and called on soldiers and people to reclaim the use of wasteland. At the same time, they also knew that in the near future, there would definitely be a huge natural disaster in the entire land of Kyushu, just like the great earthquake in Dingxiguan and Longnan County.

Although many of the generals admired, there were also a few who were deeply shocked, deeply frightened, and deeply disturbed.

These people are people with two hearts, and they all have their own little abacus.

But now, when they saw that Wang Mang actually had the ability to tell things like a god, and it seemed that they knew five hundred years before and five hundred years later, they couldn't help but be scared into a cold sweat, for fear that their little abacus would be known by Wang Mang. At the same time, they felt a sense of happiness, glad that they had not messed up before. Otherwise, I don't know how to die.

Among these people, Zhang Gongqiong is the most frightened.

Because among the many rebellious generals, his position belongs to the highest one, in charge of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Even at the very beginning when Wang Mang fought against the Xiongnu, he planned to oppose Wang Mang.

Now he directly extinguished this thought, and made up his mind that as long as Wang Mang did not die, he would resolutely not rebel, and he would be a general under Wang Mang wholeheartedly and honestly. When Wang Mang unifies the world in the future, he will be a local prince with peace of mind, and he will no longer have the luxury of the unattainable Ninety-Five Supreme Throne.

He now knows that as long as Wang Mang is still there, he will never have a chance to ascend the throne and become emperor. As for directly assassinating Wang Mang, he didn't dare to think about it.

What the Lord of the Nine Swords hadn't done, he thought to himself that he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.

Wang Mang completely ignored the various thoughts of the generals, and didn't care whether these people were against them. He only values one thing, that is, these people's hearts for the people have not changed at present, and they still put the people first, and they have not done anything to be sorry for the world.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Mang knew that Zhang Gongqiong was anti-willful, but he still didn't deal with Zhang Gongqiong, just didn't know anything.

It is precisely because of desire that people will be more self-reliant. The development and progress of society is indispensable to desire, and if a person does not even have desire, it is simply a walking corpse that is useless.

His only request is just to hope that everyone's desire will not cross the bottom line too much.

"Okay guys, that's all for today's business, you all go back and make all the arrangements first." Wang Mang waved his hand and said: "I estimate that during this period of time, there will be many rebellious ministers and thieves with ulterior motives who will try to take advantage of the natural disasters on our side to stir up trouble, so you must have a number in mind about major defense matters and make a defensive strategy in advance." As long as this time passes, we can be completely at ease. ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates are retired." The crowd withdrew.

When there was no one else in the huge conference hall, Wang Jingyan said: "Xianggong, after this time, we can be clean, right?" ”

"Pretty much." Wang Mang said with a smile: "Everything is basically arranged, and the task I came to this world is almost over." When these things are completely over, the three of us will be able to live a pure life that truly belongs to us. ”

"How much time will it take?" Shangguan Ningxuan said: "If it's too long, I can't afford to wait." ”

"It won't take long, just three or five years." Wang Mang said: "I have a large amount of food and herbs, which are enough to cope with this situation. After surviving the natural disaster, my prestige will be at its peak. At that time, I will ascend the throne and become emperor with the ability to save the world, and the people will not have any opinions, and some other ministers will not say anything.

After ascending the throne as emperor, I need to lead the people through a period of stability and make them self-sufficient. After doing this, I can let go of the world and hand it over to Liu Xiu, cut off the servility of the people, and improve the historical process. ”

"Three or five years? It's okay, it's not very long, I can afford to wait. Shangguan Ningxuan said.

On the third day, many city lords and prefects from other prefectures and counties in Gansu came to report the disaster, saying that there had been an earthquake, causing fires, floods and other accidents.

For more than 10 days, almost half of Gansu was in the midst of huge natural disasters, resulting in countless deaths and injuries among the people in the city, the failure of crops, and the exhaustion of many soldiers.

After Wang Mang stayed in Weiwuguan in Gansu for a few days, he led some guards to the disaster site to offer condolences, investigate the people's feelings, reassure the people, personally feel the situation of the people in the disaster area, and cheer up these people.

When the people in the disaster area saw Wang Mang personally come to offer condolences and rescue, they were very excited, and they admired Wang Mang even more. Because in these disaster areas, aftershocks still don't stop. If you are not careful, it is extremely easy to cause disaster.

Now Wang Mang is disregarding his own safety and personally going to the front-line disaster area to offer condolences and help, which gives everyone an incomparably strong confidence and motivation. Everyone united to overcome the catastrophe and rescue the trapped people.

A huge natural disaster suddenly occurred in Gansu, and the news was quickly transmitted to the outside world, causing a huge wave in the outside world, causing an uproar in the world.

In the Liangzhou area, after the soldiers of the Tianhan camp heard the news, the five commanders of the Tianhan camp were shocked, and almost led all the soldiers under their command to Gansu to rush to Gansu for disaster relief.

But at this critical moment, Wang Mang's letter was delivered to the hands of the Great Commander, stopping the actions of the Five Great Commanders.

Previously, Wang Mang expected that if the news of the disaster in Gansu was transmitted, the people from the Tianhan camp would definitely come to help. Therefore, he sent people to Liangzhou as soon as possible, so that the commanders of the Tianhan camp could not be impatient, and they did not need to worry about the affairs of Gansu, they only needed to do their duty according to the plan.

In Guangxi, after Xue Fengyi's mother's Xue family learned of the situation, they were also a little anxious and were about to urgently send their clansmen to help.

But the same as the situation in Liangzhou, Xue Fengyi's letter was delivered to the Xue family before the Xue family set out, and it also stopped the Xue family's movements.

The reason why Xue Fengyi sent a letter to the Xue family was also Wang Mang's doing. Wang Mang asked the master of the Murong family to urgently fly the pigeon to the imperial capital, and let Xue Fengyi come forward.

Although Xue Fengyi was very worried about Wang Mang's safety, she still acted according to Wang Mang's arrangement.

The reason why Wang Mang arranged it this way was because he knew that there would be a catastrophe in Liangzhou and Guangxi in the near future. Since there is a catastrophe, the local forces naturally cannot easily transfer manpower to the outside world, otherwise the losses will be even greater.
