Chapter 335: Burning Yun Mengze
The jurisdiction of Gangneung City has been obtained, but a large amount of land is actually still controlled by those big families.
Although Wei Minsheng could also integrate these lands by force, such an approach would definitely be resisted by those big clans.
It doesn't mean that they are blatantly opposed, but they can still do things that are contrary to the yang and the yin, and occasionally they may instruct some clansmen to do some sabotage.
If you want land, there are uninhabited wastelands everywhere in the world, and with the help of machinery and equipment such as pumping machines, there is fertile land everywhere.
Therefore, Wei Minsheng was not interested in the so-called fertile land in the hands of those big families, and those fields were nothing more convenient than water diversion for irrigation, which was more labor-saving.
Wei Minsheng flew around the triangle between the Yangtze River and the Han River in a helicopter, and used his camera to obtain a rough picture of the topography of the area.
Seeing the digital photos of these places, Wei Minsheng also had a headache.
Yunmengze is really a large swamp worthy of the name, overgrown with weeds and swamps, even if you get these photos, you can't say that you can move freely in this swamp.
If it's any other plain place, once the barrier is in place, a fire can burn the weeds clean.
The fire will burn all the snakes, insects, rats, ants and other things hidden in these grasses, and the ashes of weeds are good potassium fertilizer, and after manually removing the gravel that is not conducive to the growth of crops, the wasteland can immediately become good land.
But in this cloud dream, although it is also overgrown with weeds, but those grasses are all surrounded by water, and the dead grass is damp, and the general fire cannot be extended at all.
The biogas deposited in those swamps is the miasma in the mouths of these aborigines, and it can take the lives of these unknown intruders quietly without a trace.
And because of the heavy humidity in it, it is easy to produce fog when the temperature changes greatly, and the terrain is complex, so it is easy to get lost.
In addition, there are also deadly creatures such as crocodiles and poisonous snakes that are rampant in this swamp, so this Yunmengze is a forbidden place for these aborigines, and they dare not set foot in it easily.
Even if Wei Minsheng collected those displaced people, if he was not absolutely sure, no one would be willing to develop these swamps.
After discussing with Wu Guangliang, Wei Minsheng decided to develop Yunmengze step by step.
A fire must be put on the ground, because it removes all the dangers that lie in the swamp.
Since an ordinary fire can't be burned, let's put an unusual fire.
Therefore, Wei Minsheng used the shared space on the helicopter to sprinkle more than a dozen tons of gasoline on the edge of Yunmengze near Jiangling City after dark.
As a result, all the people in Gangneung City witnessed the shocking scene: in the dark night, under a loud buzzing sound, a wall of fire several miles long suddenly erected in the water, and the blazing fire light illuminated most of the sky.
When the soldiers of the Wu army who had not yet evacuated saw this scene, they were shocked, and at the same time, they couldn't help but give thirty-two praises to the general's wise decision to evacuate Jiangling.
Lu Xun had only heard of this kind of Heavenly Punishment Fire before, and this was the first time he had seen the power of this flame.
These flames can burn such a power in such a humid environment, obviously not afraid of water, if these flames are placed in Gangneung City, they can't do it if they want to extinguish the fire with water, and everything in the city can only be watched to be turned into ashes.
The so-called fortified fortress is simply vulnerable in the face of this kind of flames that can destroy the world.
Defending the city is a joke, hiding in the ground may be roasted, hiding in a well may be boiled into a "human soup", who can survive this fire that can swallow everything is definitely a miracle.
Actually, it's not that the swamp can't be burned, it's just that it hasn't reached a temperature that can burn continuously.
With the help of more than 10 tons of gasoline sprinkled by Wei Minsheng, the blazing flames dried the nearby weeds, and the biogas attached to the water swelled after being heated and expanded, and the buoyancy increased, escaping from the water in large quantities, further contributing to the spread of the fire.
Due to Mizusawa's special situation, this fire did not burn all the weeds in Yunmengze, and after losing the assistance of gasoline, the fire became weaker and weaker.
The fire burned all night before it was gradually extinguished, and at dawn the next day, everyone was presented with a pool of water covered in mist and smoke, but the weeds in the water had been burned clean.
The dangerous creatures that lurked in the water were either burned to death or fled into the depths of the water and were not affected by the fire.
At least, by the time the mist and smoke cleared, the burnt-in area was free of the unforeseen dangers.
Although the fire was not able to cover the entire Yunmengze area, the burned area also reached more than 30 square kilometers, forming a fire belt more than 10 kilometers long and nearly 3 kilometers wide.
At the same time, this fire also easily disintegrated the original resistance of those families in Gangneung City.
Just kidding, that Huaxia Kingdom can use this kind of Heavenly Punishment Fire without any scruples just to develop some fields in Yunmengze, which shows that this Heavenly Punishment Fire, which is enough to destroy all lives, is just a very ordinary thing for them, and in their eyes, it is not even comparable to the value of these tens of thousands of acres of land.
It is really worth the loss to take the lives of the whole clan for the sake of this little land of the family, as long as the Huaxia Kingdom does not go too far, it is better to honestly obey their jurisdiction.
