Chapter 147: The world is in turmoil
After seven months of unremitting efforts, the six affected provinces of Ziyanjiang have finally completed the reconstruction, and with the efforts of the war guards and yamen at all levels, all the victims have returned to their newly built homes, looking at the wide streets and neat new homes, and the victims are all excited to shed tears.
After settling in the new home, all the victims spontaneously gathered in front of the yamen of the governor's mansion, because there were too many people, the victims surrounded hundreds of miles, when Ling Xia heard the news and came out, all the victims knelt on the ground like a wave, and shouted "Thank you for saving your life." ”
Nearly 100 million victims, at the same time shouted loudly, the sound of the waves like nine days of thunder, shaking thousands of miles, whistling like waves, sweeping the whole province, hundreds of miles of disaster victims kneeling parents, the sound of the waves spread thousands of miles, hearing this voice, the people of the entire Dingyi Province boiled, they followed the sound of the wave to say thank you.
Seven months ago, five territories were hit by an earthquake at the same time, countless Li people were displaced, and millions of people froze to death and starved to death, but fortunately at this time, Ling Xia and the princess came to Ziyanjiang, and with Ling Xia's efforts, the shattered Ziyanjiang finally regained its former glory.
The other four territories that were affected at the same time as Ziyanjiang first turned back halfway through disaster relief, followed by the fact that the materials allocated by the imperial court did not arrive, and coupled with the ineffective relief efforts of the Yamen, the government and businessmen joined forces to raise prices, resulting in a large number of victims being frozen to death or starved to death.
The grass roots and tree bark have been eaten, and the victims have begun to eat their children, and everyone has exchanged their children with other people's children, and then the victims have eaten the children alive, and those who have children can eat the children, and those who have no children can only eat the corpses.
Later, everyone really had no choice, and when they were forced to helpless, everyone rose up one after another, and some people took the lead in rioting, and they smashed shops, rice shops, and cotton clothing shops. The looted food and cotton clothes were distributed to the victims, and more and more victims were tempted by the food, and more and more of them participated in the riots.
After the riot, the government sent troops to suppress it, but there were too many mobs, and the officers and soldiers couldn't suppress it at all.
Knowing that all the officials had run away, and the officers and catchers had also gone on strike, the war guards saw that there was no one to manage the territory, and after grabbing a batch of supplies, they returned to the camp to accumulate troops, so that the originally broken and disaster-stricken territory directly became a city of chaos.
Among the several territories affected by the disaster, Yanxiu Xinjiang and Ziyanjiang are the closest, if Liulijiang and Ziyanjiang are neighbors before and after, then Yanxiujiang is the flank of the two territories, from the map, Liulijiang, Ziyanjiang, Yanxiujiang happens to be a triangular terrain.
In this earthquake, eight provinces in Yanxiu Xinjiang were affected by the earthquake, all the ground buildings collapsed, hundreds of people were buried in the rubble, and mountain fires broke out in the three mountains caused by the earthquake, and the fire rushed into the sky, burning for ten days and ten nights.
Yanxiujiang is about 20,000 miles away from Luwangjiang, and it stands to reason that there is little intersection between the two territories, but the number of victims in Yanxiu has increased dramatically recently, and many victims from other regions have gathered towards Yanxiujiang.
This phenomenon aroused Ling Xia's idea, and his name Cui Susu quickly sent someone to investigate the abnormality of Yanxiujiang, and half a day later, the intelligence agent sent back the news that the Infinite Ocean Island Country sent a cavalry legion, and 100,000 invaders attacked Cheng'an Jiang, Hongzejiang, and Penglai Jiang.
At this time, the invaders were clearing and collecting the mob in the disaster area, and all the mobs who were willing to surrender were given military uniforms, food, and salaries, and if they refused to surrender, they were directly slaughtered and strangled.
"Crossing more than 20,000 miles, from Luwangjiang to Hongzejiang, what do the invaders want to do?" With a whisper, Ling Xia walked to the map, looked at Lu Wangjiang's location, and then observed Hong Zejiang. The location of Anjiang and Penglaijiang, the more you look at it, the more you are puzzled.
"General, what's wrong?" Seeing Ling Xia's expression, Lao Cui couldn't help but ask out loud.
Ling Xia pointed to several territories on the map, and explained in a puzzled tone: "Judging from the map, there is no need for those invaders to go to great lengths to capture the three territories of Hongze, Cheng'an, and Penglai, not to mention the more than a dozen territories in between, but the supply line cannot be maintained.
According to the calculation of the military horses traveling thousands of miles a day, these people should have experienced more than 20 days of rapid marching in a row, but the problem is that the cavalry rushed to the territory, but they have no follow-up supplies, the other party can't send 100,000 cavalry to these three territories to quell the riot, right? ”
"Could the other party's target be Wu Lanjiang of Zhenguo Gong?" After listening to Ling Xia's analysis, Lao Cui expressed his guess: "Those invaders are all cavalry-based, and the entire cavalry corps is established, and this super class must definitely find a matching opponent."
If there is a disruption today, everyone is divided into several forces, and those invaders dare not provoke the territory under the command of the seven princes, so they can only look for other opponents, looking at the world, only the Wulan Territory of Zhenguo Gong has a reorganized cavalry corps.
General, if you look at the map, we are in the west of Wulanjiang, and those invaders can form a charging formation against Wulanjiang as long as they pass through Cheng'an Xinjiang, Hongzejiang, Penglai Jiang, Yanxiu Xinjiang, and Ziyan Jiang, so those invaders are heading towards Zhenguo Gong. ”
"No, after our Ziyan Frontier, there are still Moyu Frontier and Tiger Frontier behind, these two territories are strong and strong, and they invisibly act as a barrier to Wulan Frontier, they can't get through at all, besides, just 100,000 cavalry are not the opponent of the Wulan Frontier Heavy Cavalry Legion at all......"
Speaking of this, Ling Xia was suddenly stunned, and muttered in a whisper: "Although 100,000 cavalry can't defeat Wulan Frontier, they can break through Liuli Frontier, and those battle guards in Liuli Frontier are all distributed on the border line, and there are not many people at all.
If the other party makes a surprise attack on Liulijiang, there is a chance that it will succeed, right? The target of the invaders is Xia Ning'er? They want to hijack Xia Ning'er to enter the puppet court, and then use Xia Bei'er and Xia Ning'er's royal identity to spread the appeal of the puppet court, it must be so!
No wonder those cavalry dared to stretch the battle line so long, it was because they didn't need a follow-up supply line at all, as long as they raided by surprise soldiers and captured Xia Ning'er, they would return immediately, and those war horses were equipped with sufficient dry food, which could fully support them to fight back and forth. ”
"It must be so, absolutely indeed." Thinking of this, Ling Xia suddenly became anxious: "Quick, immediately fly the pigeon to pass the book, let the princess come here to gather, and call the general soldiers of Yueyun Peak, we have to arrange it well." ”
