Chapter 57: Armed Intervention (3)
"I have heard that the people of Xiacheng are good at fighting, the spear is sharp and the chariot is sharp, galloping across the grassland to help Weiyi, although I have never seen it in person, but just listening to Su He can guess the bravery of the Xiacheng people in the battle array.

"It's just...... This is not a grass river, and there are only more than 100 people around Ji Xia, if it is on flat ground, fighting chariots and thunder, it is not difficult for Ji Xia to win. However, the city was on the verge of Dongyi, and it fought all the year round, and the people of the tribe were stupid and may not know the mistake of that person, or they were bewitched to fight Ji Xia to the death. There are earthen walls and moats to rely on, and I will not fight with Ji Xia in the wilderness, I am only afraid that I will not be able to win quickly, which will damage Ji Xia's reputation, and let him be on guard, and then kill and injure the people in the city, the deeper the hatred...... I'm afraid that they will vote for Dongyi and lose their relatives in this city. ”
Chen Jian secretly shook his head in his heart, understanding that the reason why Su Yue was hesitant at this time was nothing more than that he was worried that once he was unsuccessful, not only would the purpose of the intervention not be achieved, but he would lose the support of a city.
After brewing his emotions for a while, he made a draft in his heart, and said with a pretended sincerity: "I think that a few decades ago, when the Huasu Alliance, which clan did not need the leaders of each relative clan to choose their leaders? Now that the alliance has been formed, the leader of Suyue is respected as the leader of the clan alliance, but where is the appearance of the alliance of relatives decades ago? The war was uneven, and the soldiers were everywhere, and the relatives killed each other for the position of the leader, which was not the relatives that Xia wanted to see. ”
Xia Cheng has not dared to forget the guidance of his ancestors, but he begged that there would be no more blood between his brothers and relatives. The world is stable, and the relatives are not broken, and only when they are reunited together as they were decades ago and the leader is set in one city. Only then will there be no more bloodshed between relatives, which is what the ancestors expected, and Xia did not dare to disobey. ”
"If the kinship city can be set in one again, Xia will be satisfied even if he dies in battle, let alone any reputation or the like, then what is it? This time, it is to let the various clans and cities that want to meet know that since they have already met the alliance, it is no longer the time for each city and town to do their own thing. ”
"Let the clans know that the oath has been made, and if it is violated, it will be punished. I have already said a few things that the man did wrong, first pushing the leader and then the burial of the merchants, and the discord and fighting between relatives, all of which are his faults. ”
"Just as the law and the law, it is those who punish those who make mistakes, not to kill them, but so that more people will not make mistakes! Even if the Xia army is defeated, at least the rest of the clans can see the consequences of not abiding by the rules and oaths, even if they lose the relatives of one city, there are also dozens of relatives who abide by the rules of the oath from the people of the city! ”
Su Yue nodded again and again when he heard this, and he couldn't help but praise Chen Jian's thoughts, and only half believed it in his heart. It's just that Xia Cheng is far away in Caohe, that city is close to Dongyi, and the east and west are thousands of miles apart, he can't figure out why Jian Chen is so enthusiastic, is it really because of the reason he said?
Just listen to these high-sounding reasons, Su Yue understands that Chen Jianneng can lead his clan out of the mountains to build a city and build a city in a short period of time and defeat Rong Di in a row, he is definitely not the kind of reckless and ignorant person, he said so resolutely, is there really a way to calm down this matter within ten days?
It would be great if it could, and the longer it dragged on, the more troublesome it would be. After pacification, his prestige as the leader of the alliance can go up again, and the people in the rest of the cities don't have to worry, he can secretly form an alliance with the leaders of various cities: in the future, he will only support their lineage to inherit the position of the leader, and turn the clan alliance into a secret family contract, and nearly 100 clans in more than 20 cities support each other to secretly change the election system to the heir inheritance system, but the position of the leader of the alliance is not in this list, so that each leader will not object.
The key to killing two birds with one stone is whether Jian Chen can calm down the matter as quickly as he said.
Looking at Jian Chen's determined expression, he pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind that this time he would come forward to endorse Jian Chen, so he said loudly: "Okay!" That being the case, I hasten that the chief of my clan should come and inform the people of the man's guilt. I asked Su Tang to bring the strongest and warlike 200 warriors in the city to go with Ji Xia, and temporarily handed over the jade axe of the alliance to Ji Xia to ask for the guilt, and I waited for Ji Xia's news with your relatives in Su City! ”
Chen Jian thanked him again and again, and set the day after tomorrow for the day after tomorrow, and there are still many justifiable routines to follow, which is not sloppy.
When Su Yue went to prepare, Jian Chen also quickly led people to the headland island, and after telling the people of Xiacheng about this expedition, they asked them not to tell it.
This time he went to Ashima, he brought a lot of people, craftsmen, schoolchildren, etc., the new army only brought a hundred, this time they must bring all, worried that there would be problems on the headland island, so he made a big show to let people inform the people of Xiacheng on the island, saying that Xiacheng had come along the land route of a thousand and five warriors, and they were already close to Onozawa, so that the people on the island would pick up and help transport food, and prepare to build the city together.
Secretly told Yu Qian'er to improve the food on the island in the past few days, appropriately distribute some food and salt to those who are old and weak and stay on the fugitive slave island, and do not do anything to intensify the conflict for the time being.
"Brother, don't worry, they don't want to resist at all now, you weren't here yesterday, you didn't listen to what they said during dinner. How long are you going to go this time? ”
"Two months at most, one month at the earliest."
"And what are you going to do when the trees around here are cut down?"
"The craftsmen are all on the island, let them lead the construction of pottery kilns, brick kilns, charcoal kilns, not on the cleared open land, and appropriately to the northwest. After the brick kiln was built, the clay was excavated on the vacant land that is now cleared, and the clay here is piled up, which is suitable for burning bricks and building walls. The excavated soil pit should be built into a road, and in the future, it will be filled with water as an inland river in the city, which will facilitate transportation and save the need to build roads. I can't do a lot for a while, when digging the soil, dig a trunk first, four steps wide, higher than the lake surface, lead the river and stream on the island as the source, how to level you know, do it. I'll talk to Onozawa when I get back. ”
"You're saying you're going to build a city with water as a road and bricks as a billet?"
"More than that. In the future, this will be the largest and most beautiful city in the river, just wait and see. ”
Chen Jian squatted down and roughly drew his own idea, and Yu Qian'er's eyes widened when he heard it.
Looking at the gray land behind her, Yu Qian'er imagined from her brother's words what this city might look like in the future.
The red bricks and blue tiles stand tall, the canal is straight as a moment, the cultivated fields are round as a rule, the workshops in the east of the city stand up and the black smoke rises, the dogs and horses in the west of the city neigh, the ferry is lined with hundreds of sails, facing Daze, looking at the lake and the sky; On the high platform, smell the fragrance of lotus reeds.
Just imagining, I feel a little drunk, shaking my head again and again, only saying that I don't know when it will become a reality, thinking more but less surprises in the future, stretching out my hand to cover my eyes and ears, but my heart can't be blocked, I always keep fantasizing, and suddenly I feel that the black smoke and whistle do not stop, and the scene of people queuing up to eat and work and ploughing the fields is the most intoxicating of all the fantasies, if ...... It would be best if the workshops were all neatly arranged.
When she woke up from those fantasies, she found that Jian Chen had already left by boat with the people, and silently prayed to the distant shadow in the distance, then turned around and continued to work with those people.
Xia Cheng is also from scratch, with people, will the new city be far away? (To be continued.) )
