Chapter 344: Righteousness
Zheng Guoqu has been built for more than ten years, and over the years, in addition to the grandfather and grandson who have been staying, the craftsmen in Huaxia have changed several batches, and now the old and the old and the disabled are all voluntarily staying here.
Hearing that the young man thanked him in a low voice, an old man whispered: "A group of us old guys stayed here to give our descendants a little grace, and Heyou naturally wants to send this child back." What's the thanks? ”
Someone laughed and said, "We stayed here to fulfill Hayou, and the king will definitely reuse him." Our children are counting on him. ”
Someone laughed and said, "I'm afraid that this traitor in the blazing can't do what we want." Ha ha. ”
A group of people talked and laughed and returned to the construction site, and continued to direct the work of Xijon's men or slaves, all looking relaxed and happy. They occasionally got together, and they also discussed how to get the last section of the project right, and by the way, spend a little more money on Xijon.
But what they didn't expect was that the situation in Xijon deteriorated much faster than they expected.
Only a few days after Ha You left, the news came that Hu Xiao was dying. At this time, the doctors of Huaxia had not yet arrived. Xirong's own witch doctor gave a plan for Hu Xiao's life: choose fifty young boys and fifty girls, they must be strong and healthy, and use their hearts and livers to make medicine to make Hu Xiao continue his life.
As soon as this plan came out, there was also an uproar on the canal construction site.
Since the wolf clan was soft on Huaxia, they have to pay tribute to 2,000 boys and girls in Huaxia every year, which has caused huge pressure on the wolf people. Almost made the werewolves almost dying. Fortunately, the wolf people heard that those children were doing very well in Huaxia, and they replaced their own children with captured captives in the back of the blazing period, and they only replaced this with goods over the years. This made the wolf people feel better.
But despite this, the child is definitely the reverse scale of the wolf people.
The witch doctor came up with such a plan, and many of the wolf people cursed. Some people thought of Hu Xiao's extravagance, and they were even more resentful: "Why didn't that person die? ”
The resentment was not over, and the foreman of the engineering team sent another message: "Because the chief's healing cost innumerable, everyone's ration will be halved, and it will be carried out on the same day." ”
This moment completely ignited everyone's anger. Everyone just complains about the use of human medicine, but they may not care much about it in their hearts. After all, the number of boys and girls is not large, and they can be replaced by slaves, and they can't be shared with everyone.
But rations are different. Everyone came here to work, and they didn't have any wages in the first place, but they just lived on these rations. Food rations are reduced, they don't have enough to eat, and the children of those who have children may starve to death.
The craftsmen of Huaxia secretly gathered in one place to discuss whether to use this to incite the people and cause civil unrest in Xirong.
The man said: "I see that the people of the overseer team are not in chaos, but I am afraid that this is just the method of the traitor in the blazing heat." He asked everyone to have resentment first, and as soon as Hu Xiao died, he could immediately blame Hu Xiao for all these mistakes, and then guide the contradictions to our Huaxia, and then they might invade our Huaxia with one heart. ”
"We don't have to do anything, lest the king send troops in the name of the shortfall. Everyone still has something to do, but I'm afraid that the wishes of our people will come true. ”
Qiu Fu's judgment was indeed correct, and two days later, news came that Hu Xiao's treatment was ineffective and he had died. Chizhong succeeded Hu Xiao as the leader of the wolf clan, and led the Chaling and other departments, the leader Xirong, and called himself the king.
On the same day, he ordered the dismissal of the women of Hu Xiao's harem, beheaded the descendants of the leaders who followed Hu Xiao to do misdeeds, witch doctors and others, and then ordered the granaries to be opened to relieve the poor.
The next day, Chizhong announced that all offerings in Huaxia would be cut off. It is claimed that Xirong is in trouble because of the exploitation and persecution of Huaxia. Huaxia also used the river canal project to consume Xirong's money and grain, and the intentions were sinister. The prosperity of China is all due to the support of Xirong. From now on, Xirong will gather young and strong people to attack China and "take back what belongs to the Xirong people".
Qiu Fu and the others were arrested before the news came. The workers who kept teaching them masters and learning from them on weekdays snatched all their daily necessities and threw stones and spat on them when they were escorted into the city.
They felt that they had worked hard to dig a ditch that didn't work here, and that it was all these old craftsmen doing evil. They are living in a difficult situation, and they are all harmed by the Chinese people.
An old man was stoned to death on the spot. If it weren't for the fact that the blazing people wanted to live and the escorts stopped them, I was afraid that the rest of the people would not survive in the city.
In the city's huge square, the concrete floor is as potholed as the surface of the moon, glowing white in the June sun.
Qiu Fu and the others were tied to a platform in front of the square, but from time to time someone poured some water on them, so that they would not be burned to death immediately.
"Everyone stood up, let's see how the traitor in the blazing middle managed to kill himself." The man licked the water stains from his mouth and hoarsely cheered up his old buddy.
In addition to these Chinese craftsmen, there are many other Chinese people on the stage. Those people were the Chinese caravans that had sneaked into the Xijon trade. But their treatment is much worse. They were tied up here earlier than Qiu Fu and the others, but no one poured water on them to cool them down, and some of them had already fainted from the sun, and it was unknown whether they would wake up.
Chi Zhong wore a suit, which imitated the style of the forest and embroidered with patterns such as wolves, bears, and elephants. Under the cover of the large umbrellas of the entourage, they came under the platform.
"I only found out today that there was a Chinese baron who dug the ditch for me." Blazing sneered and looked at the humbler.
Qiu Fu said proudly: "My king has only been awarded six titles in fifteen years, and although I am humble, the king has not forgotten me. You knew I was building a ditch for you, so you should have given you more money and food. ”
Chi Zhong said: "Huaxia wants to spend my country's money and food, it seems that he is not sparing his blood. Well, we're going to go on a campaign in a few days, and we feel like we're missing enough blood to sacrifice, and you'll have to live until then. ”
The caravan members on the stage mourned: "King, you sacrifice this lord, we have brought you a lot of good things, so you can let us go." We can join Sijon at once and slay the enemy for you. ”
"Phew! I'm ashamed to be with you! Eat something inside and out! There is only one king in the world, and this one is just a traitor, and you dare to admit that it is not a pity to die! The fufu scolded on stage.
Blazing waved his hand when he shot a few of the shouting louder. Although these people smuggled some things in, they were also insatiable, and they had already made Chi Zhong unhappy, and killed some irrelevant ones first.
Blazing was about to make a move, and one of his entourages stood up and said, "King, the Huaxia people can't be killed again." The end of the war can't be opened. If you continue to kill like this, there will be no turning back. If these people are released, especially this baron of the False Husband, and then contribute to the inclusion of us in China, we may not have no way out. ”
Everywhere there are main battle factions and main peace factions, and Xijon is no exception. At this moment of going on the expedition, it is supposed that everyone should be united, but this subordinate named Pinqing still finds an opportunity to persuade him.
There is no doubt that the people have gone through the propaganda, but there are still different voices in the upper echelons of Xirong. This product green is a representative.
There was anger in the center, but he said quietly: "Then tell me, what else do we have to live?" ”
Pin Qing said: "King, I heard that the King of Huaxia once said when he exiled the arc that as long as the arc can grow the population to 500,000 people, he can be crowned king." Now that we have a population of nearly one million in Xirong, it is okay to ask the king of Huaxia for two kings. Now that he has become a king, the contribution should be reduced, the goods should also be reduced in price and circulated, and the children we sent may also want to come back, won't I have a way to live? ”
Blazing's face darkened, and before he could speak, the main battle faction stood up and said, "My king is already a king now, why should we still submit to him? We go directly to pick up the goods in Huaxia, and we don't need a penny, why do we have to negotiate with them? Our children will naturally become our internal response after we have passed, so why do we want them to come back? ”
Pin Qing said: "That's the case, but the timing is not right, and our winning rate is not high." Once the war starts, I, Xirong, am afraid that we will fall into a catastrophe from which we will never recover. ”
The main battle faction said: "Now that the grassland people are dedicated to grazing, they will no longer be soldiers on our border. They were in the far north, at least three months later. Huaxia has not increased its troops for more than ten years, and the garrison of Hangu Pass is only 3,000 people, and the defender of Jingzhou is only 2,000. The king of China is faint, and his manpower is thousands of miles away in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. How is it not a good time for us to gather 300,000 warriors at once, and divide the soldiers into two routes, and we can take their city pass with just one face, and we can take Chaolin City in March. ”
All the people in Xirong are soldiers, so naturally there are as many young and strong soldiers as there are. And Huaxia's professional army still hasn't increased much, and with the increase of Huaxia's territory, it has naturally become a little thin.
At the same time, China is now rich in supplies, fishing and hunting activities have declined in most areas, and the armed forces of ordinary people will inevitably decline. This has indeed become an advantage for the Sijon people.
"But the Huaxia army no longer wins with more people." Pin Qing took out a rifle and handed it to Chizhong, "King, this is Huaxia's rifle, it is loud, the range is farther than the bow and arrow, and the bullets fired cannot be dodged, and even the iron plate can be pierced." There is also a thing called artillery, which exploded on the ground and the ground cracked, and they used that kind of thing to blow up when they dug the Yellow River. ”
The time for Huaxia to equip thermal weapons is not short. It's just that Huaxia is extremely strict with the management of this thing. The Xijon people spent a lot of effort but did not succeed in getting their hands on it. Now that they have got a handful, eight of the Sijon people have died.
Chi Zhong knew the firearm, he took the gun, put the muzzle of the gun to his eyes to look inside, and subconsciously pulled the trigger, while recalling the past: "That person had this kind of thing on his body when he built the Dynasty Lin City. But that's all he has with his gun, and he never takes it off his waist all day long. It is said that in the Nonglin Lane incident, he used that gun to kill many people. I didn't expect it to be so long now. ”
The identity of Lin Ji's revelation was once terrifying, but with the deepening of understanding of him, or with the popularization of some scientific knowledge, everyone knew that Lin Ji could not make people disappear all at once, and everyone's fear of him decreased.
Blazing didn't express any concern about the forest trail when he said this. In fact, now the forest trails are also starting to age. This means that he is not unbeatable.
The man saw the trigger pull on the table and hoped that the gun would suddenly go off and kill him. But the gun didn't move at all.
Lieutenant Chi looked at the gun and threw it back to Pin Qing and said, "Since you got it, let's try it and see if it's really as powerful as you said." ”
Pin Qing took out a few yellow bullets, opened the chamber and loaded them, and was about to shoot at the city wall in the distance.
Blazing gave the main battle faction a look. One of the main battle factions stood up and said: "I can't see what is going on like this, why don't we fight?" I will shoot with a bow and horse, and you will use this spear. Let's see if it's your Huaxia spear or our Xirong's bow and arrow bravery. ”
Pin Qing wanted to say that he was not familiar with this firearm and could not shoot accurately. But Blazing had already nodded in agreement: "Just try." ”
In a moment, the main battle faction stood in the square on horseback, with bows and arrows in hand, and Pin Qing confronted him two hundred meters away with a gunfight.
At the sound of an order, the main battle faction rode forward on horseback, and Pin Qing fired a shot in a panic, but the bullet didn't know where it went.
The shot frightened the horse a little, and it deviated a little. However, it was quickly whipped back in the direction by the main battle faction with a horsewhip.
Pinqing knew that if he let the opponent into the range of the bow and arrow, he would die, so he loaded the bullet and fired a shot at the horse. It's just that the head of his gun jumps hard, and the bullet doesn't know where to go. The horse was pulled out of force, and was no longer afraid of the sound of gunfire, and quickly rushed into the range of the bow and arrow.
The main battle faction shot an arrow into Pin Qing's neck accurately, and the battle was over.
"Huaxia's guns are nothing more than that." Blazing was very pleased with this result.
"You can't see this bullet, it's definitely hard to aim. We rushed up during the siege, and we were afraid of how many broken guns he had? The retinue responded, as if the Chengguan soldiers in Huaxia had been defeated.
At this time, even the Lord and the faction were silent. They don't know if the guns are powerful or not, but they know that if anyone dares to stand up and speak again, Pin Qing will be their role model.
At this time, Xirong finally became united, and it became imperative to attack Huaxia.
Three days later, nearly 50,000 warriors were assembled in front of the Monkey. Blazing sent weapons that had been prepared for many years to arm these people. Then distribute all kinds of cattle for these people to ride. In one day, tens of thousands of people in the square surged, and thousands of horses roared in unison, which seemed extremely noisy.
Chi Zhong took a loudspeaker and read out the essay on Hua Xuan, which caused the people below to shout and kill in response.
Soon after, the carpenter and the others were pushed to the front of the table, and the executioner raised his knife.
The man looked hard ahead with his old eyes open, and said to the old man beside him, "They are all good slaves." ”
The old guy next to him wanted to nod in reply, but the knife flashed, and a little blood splashed out, and the old guy's head was directly under the stage, obviously agreeing with the fat man's point of view.
