The significance of Datong Town lies in the fact that it is the frontier of the Central Plains to resist the grassland peoples, and after passing the Yanmen Pass, the vast grassland is full of elusive grassland peoples who migrate with the water and grass.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, which also rose as a nomadic people, challenged the Mongols, the original overlord of the northwest grasslands, and the final result was that the Mongols were finally defeated and became the children of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

With almost the same status as the Jurchens, and the Jurchen royal nobles intersecting with them, they have long lost the courage of the Golden Family to the Mongols, and in just a few decades, they have become the most loyal hunting dogs and allies under the Qing people, sparing no effort to expand the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

However, the good times did not last long, and the Jurchens of the Qing Dynasty in this era were finally defeated by the Hongmen people, who were based in the far south, but had regarded the Northeast Jurchens as the enemy of life and death from the day of development.

Dividing and disintegrating the Jurchen tribes, taking advantage of the weakness and other means, with the strategy of being sad and unintentional, as well as the already powerful strength and advanced weapons, finally created the result that made outsiders jaw-dropping this time.

The Mongols, as the dogs of the Jurchens of the Qing Dynasty, paid no less price than the Jurchens themselves, at least 50,000 or 60,000 strong sons and daughters were killed, so that the Mongol tribes attached to the Qing Dynasty were all broken, and they may not be able to recover for decades.

Originally, the attitude of the Jurchens of the Qing Dynasty towards their Mongols was two extremes, one was the Mongol allies with a long history such as the Eastern Horqin tribe, and their Jurchens pursued a Manchu and Mongolian family policy, and many of the princesses of the Qing Emperor were from Mongolian women; On the other hand, for those who are still unruly and resist the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing people have never been soft at night, and have used extremely cruel means to exterminate them and deter the surrounding areas.

In addition, the Qing people cunningly elevated the status of the Yellow Lama among the Mongols, making it a holy religion in the hearts of the Mongols, which in turn made the Mongol fertility rate lower and lower year by year.

As a result, the Mongol tribe itself has been invisibly weakened, forcing them to migrate north with the Qing people to the more bitter cold of Siberia, or to the steppes far from the Ming frontier.

At least since the beginning of the occupation of Datong Town and Yanmen Pass by Shang Kexi's army, there have been few incidents of the grassland peoples knocking on the pass, which shows that the grassland is still in an extremely weak situation.

Shang Kexi first took 20,000 sons under his command and directly cleaned the land under his control, but the results were less than he expected.

As an important border area, the mountain bandits who dared to do anything wrong around Jinyang and Datong, which were important towns of the Ming Dynasty, were really rare, so Shang Kexi's plan to expand the source of his troops by clearing out local bandits was completely frustrated.

Until the end of June, the strength of Shang Kexi's First Army was only 50,000, and many of them were converted from the Ming Dynasty rout they had taken in.

However, the number of troops recruited from the local territories of Jinyang and Datong is less than 10,000.

It's not that the strong men of the people don't covet the rich salary and benefits of the Hongtang army, but it's really for the sake of the source of soldiers, their army and the local government have fought countless battles of words, and the final result is that their army has failed.

Even if Shang Kexi wants to expand the source of his troops, he is embarrassed to hit the land where he is, which is already so sparsely populated that he can't stand it.

The natural and man-made disasters in the Ming Dynasty, the forced expropriation in the Dashun period, and even the invasion from the grassland from time to time all made the people living in the land of Jinyang and Datong suffer unimaginable pain from the people of southern China.

After the establishment of the Hongmen government department, the first thing it did in Jinyang and other places was to arrange staff to go down to various villages to register the people in these villages.

In other dynasties, there may have been people who deliberately avoided registration to avoid the various types of servitude and taxation in these dynasties, but after the reign of the Hongmen, this was rare.

The reason is very simple: according to the policy of redistributing land per capitation, even if a baby is only a month old, he can be allocated seven to eight acres of land before he reaches adulthood, and when he reaches adulthood, he can make up for his personal land.

With such a happy system, how can it not allow the people who have different feelings about the land to rush to the neighborhood committees and the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the government to leave their names in order to obtain the land that belongs to them.

Perhaps in the future, the land given to each family by the Hongmen will be re-annexed by others by various means, but at least at the time of its initial implementation, their system was indeed deeply embraced by the people at the bottom.

In such a hurry, in the early days of the establishment of the government, a large number of people were dispatched to the countryside to register the population, and the brains of the government's civil affairs department were afraid that the Hongtang Military Department would recruit the already small number of ordinary people in order to enrich the army, so that the population base of the people would be further damaged.

Sure enough, in order to expand the number of the army, the non-commissioned officers of the Hongtang Army, who thought that they had made outstanding contributions, had made frequent moves at the bottom and launched various means of intrigue with the civil affairs department.

In the end, the civil affairs department and the generals of the army submitted all kinds of dispute cases to Shang Kexi, and once or twice Shang Kexi may be able to favor the army's subordinates, but after many times, the civil affairs department did not agree, and turned his head to reflect the problem to Wu Jie, who was sitting in Beijing.

At this moment, Zhang Yuyan, who was originally stationed in the Liaodong Theater to manage the civil affairs of Liaodong, also transferred from the Liaodong Theater to the Beijing Division, and Wu Jie respectively controlled the military and political power in the vast territory of the north.

If the commander above doesn't support it, the soldiers below can't do anything, and the best object on their lips can only be seen but not eaten, and in the end they can only find a way to find other ways.

The objects that can be cleared around Jinyang and have reason to be arrested have basically become the meals of Hongtang's first army, and the entire territory around Jinyang and Datong Town has rarely been so peaceful and stable for many years, and even a bandit and a landlord who robbed houses rarely appeared.

"Target found!"

"The subject is unresponsive in his place of residence, and still has living features!"

"Closely monitor, if there is anything abnormal, shoot on the spot!"

In the living area of the Xinjing Institute of Biology, after discovering that the research results of the institute's transformation plan team had leaked abnormally, the security department under the institute launched an active investigation to find any clues.

As "Pangu" solved the mystery of the virus's disappearance through video backtracking, and learned the final whereabouts of the virus agent, the security department of the institute began to track down the whereabouts of researcher Chen Yu.

However, unexpectedly, researcher Chen Yu was able to take a virus agent out of the institute under close surveillance, but he did not flee quickly, and was soon found by the security department: he himself has been staying in his own residence since returning to the living area with the virus agent, and has never gone out.

The request for instructions and the report have been called, but the superiors have not given a definite answer until now, so that the members of the security department who discovered Chen Yu's whereabouts have no other action except for close monitoring.

"Are there any other anomalies around?"

"Nope!"

"Nope!"

I thought that I could steal extremely secret virus reagents in the laboratory of a well-guarded research institute, but it should be a very extensive and deep espionage incident, but after some investigation, all clues showed that this was just the work of researcher Chen Yu alone.

"The commissioner's order, the suspect can be arrested!"

"Action!"

A group of security guards dressed in snow-white hazmat suits and armed with sophisticated weapons emerged from various hidden corners and approached the suspect's residence after a command.

"Bang!!"

At the lock cylinder of Chen Yu's bedroom door, with a low blasting sound, five security soldiers poured in from the door with vigorous movements, one after the other, and pounced on Chen Yu, who was sitting still on the wooden bed in the bedroom.

As a suspect, Chen Yu seemed to have expected this attack suddenly, and when the guards poured into the gate, he had already raised his hands to show that he was not any threat.

"Be honest!"

In fact, the soldiers of the security department did not have to behave like this, Chen Yu, who was sitting on the bed, did not have any resistance, and put on handcuffs very cooperatively.

"You shouldn't have come in!"

At this time, Chen Yu showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and motioned everyone to look around the surrounding environment, it turned out that in Chen Yu's bedroom, he used plastic film to enclose a closed space, but with the intrusion of the members of the security department, several huge openings have appeared on this plastic film, which is connected to the outside world.

"What about the reagents you stole from the lab? Where did you put it? ”

The leader of the security department team also didn't care about the scene questions indicated by Chen Yu, and fiercely asked them the questions they were most concerned about.

"Now, there!"

Chen Yu didn't hide it, his hands tied behind his back couldn't move, he pouted and pointed out a direction.

Following the general direction he pointed, the guards found a used syringe from a garbage bag, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"You—Did you use it yourself? Who is it for? ”

Wang Qifei, the leader of the arrest team, was shocked, grabbed Chen Yu's chest, and continued to interrogate.

"Is there any other living creature here besides me?"

Chen Yu's face was calm, and he told Wang Qifei a fact that he had actually doubted, but he couldn't believe it.

"You're just waiting to be sentenced!!"

Wang Qifei couldn't, the reagents that had been used, even the members of their team, didn't know what the specific effect was, but they were warned that the reagents should not be exposed to the air, and together with their arresting personnel, they put on protective clothing to arrest them in order to prevent accidents.

"If you don't use it, you probably can't imagine what would happen to me! Even if I get the punishment I deserve for it, I admit it! ”

Chen Yu did not make any waves, and still calmly gave the answer.

"But did you ever know that your intrusion would eventually bring such changes to the world? Are you ready for a new era? ”

Suddenly, Chen Yu, who was calm and unwavering, began to fluctuate in his emotions as he stated the facts, and he was excitedly announcing the premises, and his crazy look was terrifying.

"Take him in the car and send him back to the institute for strict guard!"

Wang Qifei felt terrified in his heart, but it did not prevent him from making arrangements, after all, he was also an elite recruited from among the retired special combat soldiers, and all kinds of things he had experienced were far more dangerous and crazy than what he encountered today.

At least for now, the situation is not as dire as they thought it would be!

"Why?"

Through the thick tempered glass, the two core researchers of the Transformation Project stood opposite each other, and Zhang Yao looked at her right-hand man with a distressed look.

As an outstanding research talent, Zhang Yao rarely has such a change in expression as now, but what Chen Yu is doing now is all unexpected by Zhang Yao, especially when he injects himself with reagents that have not yet been used for human experiments, and the unknown changes that may be brought about will not only have an immeasurable impact on Chen Yu himself, but also have an unpredictable impact on the world because of the high contagiousness of the virus they use.

"Do you know that when a person wakes up every morning, he can clearly feel the fear of life passing through his body?"

Chen Yu asked Zhang Yao a question instead of answering, but without waiting for Zhang Yao to answer, Chen Yu himself solved the answer to this question: "ALS disease, the full name of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a terminal disease that cannot be treated in this world so far. ”

"The greatest sorrow and despair of suffering from this disease is not that you are hopelessly facing death, but that your body is weakened and stiffened uncontrollably within the scope of your perception, until you may not even be able to breathe as a simple movement!"

"Unfortunately, I'm one of those affected by this disease."

Chen Yu sadly revealed to Zhang Yao the bitterness of his actions.

"But there is no record of this disease in your physical report?"

Zhang Yao was puzzled.

"That's because I spent a lot of money to hire a computer master, hacked into the computer of the physical examination hospital, and tampered with my physical examination report."

"In fact, from the very beginning, my goal was to treat my terminal illness through this research plan."

"It's just a pity that my body can't make me wait too long, and last week's medical report told me that my disease will start to change within a month, which means that I can no longer hide my illness like I am now, so I can only act early."

"At least, from our experimental data, we have developed a reagent that has no side effects for the time being, and that is my last chance!"
