Chapter 903: The Earthquake in the Second Year of the Apocalypse
The weather is cold, the cattle and sheep on the grassland freeze to death, this time is often the season when the Mongolian tribes go south to invade, this is not unusual, when I just rose, the situation in Shaanxi and Shanxi was even worse, and even the northern Zhili suffered, but this time the strangeness is that the governor of Shaanxi and the general army want to suppress this matter, and do not want the court to know that there are millions of people in Shaanxi, and there are many business travelers in and out, and they actually want to hide it, which is indeed ridiculous.
"Big brother, the imperial court was defeated in Guangning, and the luxury family in the southwest is inextricably linked, according to the news on the Yangtze River waterway, other Tusi in Sichuan and Guizhou are also unstable, and it is estimated that they will fight even more, and Shaanxi has such a big mess, is this a good opportunity for us?" Wang Zhaojing said in a deep voice.
Zhao Jin glanced at Wang Zhaojing, smiled and teased: "Usually only Daxiang would say this, but I didn't expect you to say so." ”
The house was laughing again, Ji Xiang scratched his head there, Chen Huang shook his head with a smile, Ruhui and Liu Yong were smiling, and when everyone finished laughing, Zhao Jin said: "It's not a good opportunity, the situation in Liaozhen will not change in a few months, just like what we just said, after the grain and grass are burned, the Jianzhou Jurchens can't go too far west, not to mention that it will be spring ploughing soon, and the Jianzhou Jurchens will also have to prepare for this, and they will definitely not be able to make a move, as for the matter in Shaanxi, didn't the businessmen say it very clearly?" The trap did not touch the fortified city, but only plundered in the countryside, which did not hurt anything fundamentally, and the border army only avoided the battle, but its strength was not damaged. ”
"There is no foundation for nomadism, this Jianzhou Jurchen farming-oriented, step by step, this is a big trouble," Wang Zhaojing sighed.
Zhao Jin nodded and continued: "As for the instability of the southwest, the fight over there is just a rebellion between Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, the wealth of the imperial court is fundamentally in the south of the Yangtze River, and the grain is fundamentally in Huguang and Jiangxi, what is there over there, it will just make the imperial court uncomfortable, so this situation looks chaotic, but the imperial court can still pull out its hand, and Xuzhou is in the heartland, the imperial court can even do its best to deal with us, then it is troublesome, and as I said before, at this time, internal and external troubles, what do we have to do, we will be poked in the backbone by the people of the world, why bother?" ”
"Poke the backbone? The places around Xuzhou have begun to eat grass and soil, our people can eat meat, and the family members are all full of oil, and they are living so decently, who pokes who" Ji Xiang interjected.
Speaking of this, everyone in the room nodded, and even Zhao Jin said with a smile: "This year is a good one." ”
Xuzhou in the second year of the Apocalypse, it is indeed a fat year, Xuzhou now produces a large amount of wine, Cao grain and all kinds of grain also because of this grain for wine gathered, there is a large number of sake lees for wine, this sake lees is a good material for feeding pigs, eat bran vegetables elsewhere, this piggrass is not enough to eat, there will be feeding pigs, and Xuzhou is not short of grain, a large number of wine troughs are all used in pigs, Xuzhou's pig production is more and more year by year.
There were a lot of things in Xuzhou last year, especially the imperial court used officials and troops to attack Xuzhou, and there was tension up and down, but most people survived together, and they had to be rewarded at the end of the year.
Yunshan Xing first sent people to buy all the pigs in Xuzhou, and then slaughtered and sold a large number of pigs raised by outsiders and their own farms, when the purchase was the market price, but when it was sold, it was only for twice the weight of the grain, which was a great benefit, as for the Zhao Ziying family Ding Zhengyue ate meat for seven days in a row, the group drills ate for three days in a row, and almost all of them could see the meat oil, the people, especially many poor households, this is the first time to eat meat in many years.
What guards safety, what talk counts, it is not as useful as eating meat during the New Year, and there is meat to eat with the master, I don't know who came up with this sentence, but everyone is chattering, and people's hearts are tilted all of a sudden.
Zhao Ziying does things no matter how he pays attention to rules and justice, but in the eyes of outsiders, after all, it is a violation of the law of the imperial court, and it can be vaguely said that it is a local tyrant's private soldier, if you talk about it seriously, then this is a thief, there are many people who follow it, but there are also many people who avoid it as much as possible, even Zhao Ziying himself, from the family to the guys in Yunshanxing, at some times is also a little unreasonable, but after the first month of the second year of the Apocalypse, it is different, the court makes everyone can't even eat, and this Zhao Ziying makes everyone's mouth full of oil, don't you understand who to choose?
"Because of this meat, before the New Year is over, someone came to ask about the patrol, saying that now the family can't be a patrolman, it's good to be a patrolman." Liu Yong said with a smile.
"Patrol Ding 3,000, give priority to the selection of injured families, and then try to choose in the group training, when the patrol Ding, he will be turned into a guy from Yunshan Xing, help them settle down in Xuzhou, and then, the children of the big families who depend on us will be given half of the quota, but it should be noted that they cannot be allowed to work as errands locally, Xuzhou Wei will give one percent, and the people of Xuzhou and Pizhou will take one and a half percent." Zhao Jin said.
Liu Yong nodded in agreement, and Ruhui said with a smile: "Master, this method is good, group training is our foundation, and when the patrol settles down safely, it is also a way out for them." ”
"The younger brother will arrange for people to preach everywhere and talk about the mercy and kindness of the eldest brother." Wang Zhaojing said with a smile.
At this time, Chen Huang, who was on the side, coughed, looking at what he had to say, the room was quiet, Chen Huang had been silent and listened, and it was rare to speak.
"The martial arts conference made the brothers below very excited, this time it was held in the city, there were a lot of people talking about it in the camp, I think our brothers train all day, every day is patrolling, the drill is also the same as acting, it is good to be able to fight once a year, it is easy to wear out the sharpness if it goes on like this, it is better for us to hold a martial arts conference, just compare the people in our Zhao Zi camp, hang their hearts, the key is to let them have something to do"
Hearing what Chen Huang said, Ji Xiang immediately became a lot excited, nodded again and again and said, "Second brother is right, we should also hold this martial arts competition." ”
Zhao Jin groaned and said: "I have also thought about this, but our Zhao Zi battalion is not relying on personal martial arts, but on this military formation and military discipline, so there is no need to compare those martial arts styles, it is better to compare the subjects in the training, to see who runs fast, to see who walks steadily with a spear, as well as archery and fire gun shooting and accuracy, and each regiment and team selects excellent competitions." ”
Before he finished speaking, Ji Xiang was no longer so excited, but Chen Huang was nodding slowly, and Wang Zhaojing patted his hands and said: "What the eldest brother said is 'edutainment, and the competition is superior, so naturally the training below"
Halfway through the words, everyone's bodies shook, and they could hear the tea bowls and lids on the table jingling, everyone was stunned, Liu Yong was the first to react "earthquake" "Big brother, go quickly"
The inexplicable shaking made everyone a little confused, but looking at the dust falling on the beams, they immediately understood, Liu Yong shouted, and several people had already begun to walk out, Zhao Jin did not rush first, but grabbed Ruhui, who was the slowest in action, and Chen Huang strode out of the house with him.
When they got outside, they had already heard screams and exclamations near and far away, dogs barking wildly, cows and horses neighing, all mixed together, but by this time, it was quiet and there was no movement.
Everyone's hanging hearts did not fall, God knows if it was just a move, or if there was a big earthquake imminently.
"Come on, go to check everywhere, barracks, markets, warehouses, and dwellings to see if there is any damage, go to the state and county towns to ask what has happened, send fast horses, go to the second regiment, the third regiment and the three brigades to inquire, see if there is anything abnormal, Da Huang, Da Xiang and Xiao Yong, the three of you will return to the team immediately, be on strict alert, and the personal guards will go to the vicinity of Hejiazhuang, stand by to prepare for war, go" Zhao Jin ordered sharply.
The more times like this, the more people will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and they must prepare in time, and everyone knows the severity of the situation, so they will be ordered to leave immediately.
Ruhui grabbed a family member and said a few words, and then returned to Zhao Jin's side, Zhao Jin had already beckoned his guards to put on his armor, at this moment, it was no different from the battle, and he had to be prepared for the worst.
They were on guard here in an orderly manner, but the outside gradually quieted down, after a slight ground movement, there was no abnormality, most of the buildings on the side of Hejiazhuang were newly built, but they were not damaged, because the ground movement was really short, and the people and livestock were not damaged, but what about the other places, we have to wait for news
The horseback riders of Zhao Ziying took Hejiazhuang as the center and went in all directions, they wanted to know the news from all over Xuzhou, and reported it as much as possible.
The family member who was stopped by Ruhui quickly reported back the news, Zhao Jin's family was fine, his wife and children were safe, and the entire Hejiazhuang was also safe, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"There was an earthquake just after the first month, and according to the almanac, I am afraid that this year will not be peaceful." Ruhui said.
"It's been nothing for the past six years, why did you move on the spot." Wang Zhaojing was also apprehensive, Zhao Jin shook his head sullenly, and said, "Ten or twenty years have been nothing." ”
News continued to come back from the nearby manor villages, and except for a few houses that had fallen into disrepair, there was no other damage, and there was no earthquake until dark.
Even so, everyone didn't dare to go back to sleep, for fear of another earthquake in the middle of the night, so they would directly press under the house, and directly choose to set up a tent in the open area for the night, or just survive in the cold wind for the night, Zhao Jin's family is the same, and they set up a tent in the center of the compound.
However, he is very particular about this tent, it is the best goods sent by Wang Ziyang back then, and the person who built the convertible is also a Mongolian family, which is very familiar.
The ground was covered with thick blankets and filled with copper stoves that burned red charcoals, and this tent was no worse than the rest of the house, but according to the families who set up the tents, such large tents were only available to nobles on the grassland, and only nobles close to the Khan could have them.
