After the war, in order to commemorate the victory of this important battle, Shao Yuniang, Yang Hu, Ran Zhan, and Xun Guanniang drove the Rouran captives to build an altar on the Wolf Juxu Mountain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At that moment, Yang Crane, Shao Yuniang and other generals offered sacrifices to the Great Heavenly Venerable, comforting the heroic souls of the heroic sacrifices, and the cheers of the soldiers celebrating the victory resounded in the sky.

Subsequently, the Yan army returned triumphantly with the honor of victory.

After Rouran Khan broke out of the Yan army, he led hundreds of guards and cavalry to flee in embarrassment, and it was not until half a month later that he learned the news of the fall of the royal court, and he almost hung up directly without taking a breath.

It wasn't until the Rouran Khan cleaned up the mess that he found that more than sixty percent of the nobles in the entire Rouran tribe had died in the battle, and the strength of the entire tribe had been severely damaged, and it would never be able to go south again for at least a few years.

At this point, the earth-shattering Battle of Mobei came to an end.

……

When the victory and defeat of the Mobei War were decided, the locust plague, which had been prepared for as early as the beginning of spring, finally broke out.

The people of the Central Plains are really full of disasters and difficulties, and last year they finally drove away Hulu, thinking that they would live a good life, but who knew that the drought had just ended less than a month ago, and locust plagues came one after another, and locust plagues were found in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou one after another.

Since mid-July, a large number of locusts have suddenly appeared in the Central Plains, and for a time all the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains have been in an emergency.

Fortunately, the whole Yan country had already prepared, and as soon as the disaster was received, the cabinet immediately began to arrange for the control of locusts, and the local governments did not rush to organize the people to exterminate the locusts.

In ancient times, when productivity levels were low, there were few effective measures to prevent and control locust plagues.

In order to control locusts, Weishuo combined historical experience with a combination of natural enemy control and drug spraying.

It is easy to understand that natural predator management is to use poultry such as chickens and ducks to deal with locusts, but this method requires a large number of poultry to be effective.

Thanks to the developed breeding industry in Yan country, there are farms all over the country, and there are a number of chickens, ducks and poultry in the farms. In order to deal with the locusts, the cabinet has ordered the transfer of poultry from all over the country to the Central Plains.

However, poultry alone was not enough to completely eradicate locusts, so Wei Shuotuo Gehong provided a prescription for spraying locusts with a liquid made from the recipe to make them fall to the ground without affecting human or poultry consumption.

Soon, under the organization of local governments, when the locust plague was together, the locust killing teams were immediately put into use, and suddenly the Central Plains set off a hot anti-disaster and locust control action.

Although the whole Yan country was fully prepared, when the overwhelming locusts came, they would find that they had underestimated the severity of the locust plague.

Since the report was received three days ago, the eight counties of the Central Plains have been plagued almost at the same time, and locusts have swarmed from the waterfront, the old river channels, and the barren beaches of the reed lands, forming swarms and instantly pounced on the fields. The entire Central Plains was full of yellow clouds and mist moving rapidly, and millions of finger-length locusts spread their wings and danced rapidly in the air, converging into a huge roar similar to that of an airplane taking off, covering the sky like an overwhelming one.

In order to prevent the locusts from spreading to other prefectures and counties, the county magistrate of Xintai County, Yanzhou, which was severely affected by the disaster, had to endure the pain of burning the locusts that could not be killed in the future along with the crops in the county.

The disaster ahead is serious, so that Yanwang Weishuo, who is sitting in Luoyang, is like sitting on pins and needles, and the disaster has reached this point, presumably this year, the Central Plains will inevitably have a large-scale harvest. If it weren't for the abundant grain reserves of Yan Kingdom, I really don't know how much loss this disaster would cause.

"My lord, according to statistics, a total of ten counties and counties in the four prefectures of Yanqing, Henan and Hebei have suffered locust plagues, and the number of affected people is as high as one million."

After listening to Mo Han's report, Wei Shuo sat on the main seat weakly, as if he had been drained of his strength by the huge locust plague.

After a long while, he stabilized his mind and instructed the cabinet members: "Ladies and gentlemen, although the scale of the locust plague is huge and far beyond imagination, we have made countless preparations before, and we believe that as long as the whole Yan country is united, we will definitely be able to defeat the natural disaster in the end. ”

"In addition, there will be a great plague after the catastrophe, dare to ask all of you, are you ready to meet the plague? Now is the hottest time, it is the best time for the epidemic to spread, once it is not well controlled, let the plague spread, it will be a catastrophe, I will never allow this to happen! ”

In the face of the huge natural disaster, even Wei Shuo, who has always been calm and stable, couldn't help but change his face greatly, and the other cabinet scholars were also like earth, obviously everyone realized the seriousness of this locust plague, and if they didn't make it, the entire Central Plains would be destroyed in one fell swoop, so everyone had to cheer up and devote themselves to fighting the disaster.

In the face of Wei Shuo's earnest advice, Gao Zhan, Wen Qiao, Mo Han, Pei Wei and other cabinet scholars could only focus on the key points.

"In order to better guide the disaster prevention and control of locusts, I intend to send four scholars to Hebei, Qingdao, Yan, and Henan prefectures to supervise the disaster fighting, I don't know which scholar is willing to go?"

"I want to go!" "The minister is also willing to go!" The scholars of the cabinet rose up one after another to ask for orders to supervise the position.

Wei Shuo looked at the active subordinates and was quite pleased, he thought for a while and said: "It will be very hard to go to the local area to supervise the disaster relief, I think it is better not to bother an elderly person like Shao Gong." In this way, Mo Han, Wen Qiao, Du Qun, and Feng Draw will work hard and go to the local area. ”

"No!" The four scholars gave up one after another.

"Before leaving, I have a few words to tell the four of you, when you arrive at the locality, you must assist the local government in completing the important task of fighting the disaster, especially to break the fear of locusts among the local people. Poultry alone cannot eat all the locusts, and it is necessary to mobilize the people to eat the locusts, and only in this way can the locust plague be eliminated in the shortest possible time. ”

This is not Wei Shuo's alarmism, but there are too many examples of 'wonderful' management of locust plagues recorded in the history books.

Some people even let the locusts eat the crops in the fields, but they did not dare to harm the so-called 'locust gods'.

In the face of the army of locusts sweeping in from the east to the west, the local government, under the supervision of cabinet ministers, not only mobilized the people to exterminate the locusts, but also gathered hundreds of thousands of "duck soldiers and chicken soldiers" to form a "locust eating army" to carry out a large-scale and in-depth sweep of the affected areas.

By early August, the massive locust plague was finally brought under control with the concerted efforts of all parties.

The victory of the Yan Kingdom in fighting disasters and controlling locusts finally made the battle of public opinion that had been going on since the beginning of spring finally divide the winner.

In the face of ironclad facts, the theory of heaven and man induction propagated by the Jiangzuo family was hit hard.

At the beginning of the outbreak of the disaster, the old celebrities took the opportunity to spread rumors, attributing the cause of the outbreak of the natural disaster to Wei Shuo himself, and pointed the finger directly at the various policies implemented by the Yan State, claiming that it was because Wei Shuo did not obey the ancestral system and implemented tyranny that the drought and locust plague befell the people of the Central Plains.

In order to deal with these ill-intentioned celebrities, Wei Shuo launched a fierce counterattack through the newspaper.

Originally, the controversy was in a tug-of-war, and neither side could gain the upper hand with their own allusions.

It was not until the news of the complete victory of the Central Plains in fighting disasters and controlling locusts that the debate finally decided the winner.

Facts have proved that the so-called natural disasters are not some punishment from heaven, otherwise how could there be a victory in the disaster resistance of the Yan Kingdom?

Through the intuitive education of disaster resistance, people everywhere can understand that it is useless to be afraid and superstitious about disasters, and only by giving full play to human initiative and firmly believing in the concept that man will conquer the heavens, can there be hope to overcome natural disasters.

Only then did many people realize that they were lucky enough to escape the drought and locust plague, all thanks to the strong organization of the government, and sure enough, only comparison will make the people realize what is right and what is wrong.

Soon, under the instruction of Wei Shuo, the major newspapers in Yan began to publicize how the local government organized effectively and led the people to achieve a great victory in fighting drought and locusts.

At the same time, the literati cultivated by the Yan State began to take the opportunity to promote new theories, minimizing the influence of the original traditional celebrities.

In the end, even the exposition of the religion was dispatched, and on August 18, the head of the sect, Kou Dunzhi, announced to the public that this disaster was not a punishment from heaven to the Yan Kingdom, but because the people of the Central Plains had not yet believed in the Great Tianzun, and were warned by the Great Tianzun.

In this regard, Kou Dunzhi also put down a cruel sentence in public: "If you don't believe in the Great Heavenly Venerable, you will also be warned!" ”

As a result, as a result, the exposition of religion in the Central Plains and Hebei region was rapidly expanded, and in a very short period of time, other religions were suppressed to become the largest religion in the region. (To be continued.) )
