China, the west.

As the largest port in the west, Huicheng is the largest port in the west, and most of the seafood in the kingdom is produced from this place, especially in the remote sea area, almost every household has a sailboat, of course, most of these sailboats can only operate offshore, and the fleet that can sail far away is almost in the hands of wealthy merchant families.

As the sun sets, the people who have worked all day have gathered their sails and returned to port, and the captain directs the workers to work.

"Daddy Niuwa, how is the harvest today?"

A woman on the shore greeted her husband happily when she saw her husband come out of the sailboat.

"It's not bad, there are a few stones, and there is a good harvest at the beginning of the year. "The fisherman looks like a spring breeze.

The woman was overjoyed and hurried forward to help.

Seeing this, the fisherman hurriedly said: "Niu Wa damn, don't worry about it, go home and take care of the baby first, I'll 。。。。。。 in a while ”

The fisherman's voice stopped abruptly, and he stared blankly ahead.

In fact, there are quite a few people who are ready to go ashore with the fisherman's expressions of agreement.

The horses neighed, the pace was dull, and the black armor and black helmets with the sharp spears surged from all directions.

This is the army of the kingdom, and every fisherman knows it, but they don't understand why the army of the kingdom is suddenly here.

A young general rode forward, gave a military salute, and said in a loud voice: "From now on, the kingdom's army will officially take over here, and no one will evacuate immediately, and the kingdom will arrange another place to go." ”

At this time, the people completely exploded the pot, and they were not allowed to fish, how to live their lives.

Just when the crowd was angry, a loud dragon roar resounded across the earth.

On the coastline of the sky, Ye Gucheng came with a solemn expression.

"See the Commander-in-Chief!"

For a time, everyone knelt down.

Huicheng, the city lord's mansion.

Ye Gucheng sat in the middle hall, and all the departments on the left and right sides were in place.

Huang Li's armor was straightened, and he stood up solemnly and said: "Commander Qiqi, the last general will take over Huicheng as soon as he receives the commander's order, and now the fishing villages have been driven out, and the army has been fully controlled." ”

Ye Gucheng nodded, and said in a deep voice: "General Huang has worked hard, sit down!"

"Commander Xie!"

The city lord hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Commander, the fishermen almost all rely on going out to sea to fish for their livelihood, and this time their sailboats will be confiscated, how these fishermen will make a living in the future, please ask the commander to show me." ”

"The fishermen need not worry, and tell them that the kingdom will buy their property, including sailing ships, for three times the price, and let them find another place to live in the city. ”

When did the kingdom become so rich, but it was a lot of relief that the matter could be resolved satisfactorily.

"As for the employment of fishermen, you are the lord of the city and solve it on your own, and the commander has only one request, which cannot cause public anger. ”

The city lord was stunned again, and took the order with a wry smile.

"Money right. ”

"The villain is here. "A boatman in the last seat looks extraordinarily restrained, think about it, a commoner and a high-ranking official are seated together, and they are still meeting the supreme ruler of the kingdom, how can they not be restrained!

Ye Gucheng smiled gently, and said slowly, "From now on, you will be the Governor of the Navy, in charge of all the ships in the kingdom, and Ben Shuai wants you to organize experts to build sailing ships, in terms of manpower and funds, but if you ask for something, this Shuai will agree! This Shuai has only one requirement for you, to build enough ships to sail long enough within a year." ”

Qian You's heart froze, and the joy of being an official was gone, and he said cautiously: "I don't know... How many sailboats does the Commander want?"

"The more the merrier. ”

The simple four words made Qian You's heart even more bottomless, but he didn't dare to continue to ask.

"Why does the commander need so many sailboats?" said the city lord, who, like everyone present, smelled an unusual atmosphere.

"Qian You found a new continent at the end of the ocean, Ben Shuai intends to go to open up the wasteland and expand the land, what's the matter? Ben Shuai still needs to report everything to you?" Ye Gucheng's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty didn't dare. The city lord suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"If nothing else, retreat!" Ye Gucheng issued an eviction order.

"Yes!"

Everyone looked different and slowly left the table.

"General Huang stayed. ”

Ye Gucheng saw Huang Li standing on one side, and slowly got up and said, "General Huang, do you know why Ben Shuai wants you to stay?"

"I don't know. ”

Ye Gucheng stared at Huang Li deeply, and said in a deep voice: "If Ben Shuai told you that in the near future, the kingdom may cease to exist, what would you do?"

Huang Li's expression changed drastically, and he said urgently: "But the Nansheng Kingdom is attacking on a large scale, and the last general is willing to lead the army to resist the enemy." ”

"If it's Nansheng Kingdom, why wouldn't Ben Shuai urgently build ships!"

Huang Li was stunned for a moment, and said dumbly: "Please also ask the commander to make it clear that the end general is a little dull... ”

"General Huang, do you believe that the dead in this world will be resurrected? Have you ever heard that those corpses that should have been buried in the ground crawled out of the ground one by one and slaughtered?" As for the military, Ye Gucheng didn't want to hide it, because in the future chaos, only the army could maintain order in the kingdom.

"This... How is that possible?"

"Yes!" Ye Gucheng smiled extremely sadly, and sighed lightly: "I have also asked myself countless times, how is it possible? Why do the dead wreak havoc on the living? Behind the extreme civilization, what is hidden is actually destruction! We human beings will always only seek our own death!"

This time, Ye Gucheng really felt it, if the records in the ancient books were true! Then, these monsters, including the so-called half-orcs, were actually the bitter fruits created by humans themselves!

Of course, Huang Li didn't understand what Ye Gucheng meant, but he could understand one thing, the immortal in Ye Gucheng's mouth was real!

"General Huang, there is not much time left for us! If Nansheng Kingdom can't hold on, the next thing is our Huaxia!" With a solemn expression, Ye Gucheng said in a deep voice: "Therefore, this commander wants you to cooperate with Qian Right at all costs, ask people to give people, soldiers to soldiers, and the most important thing is not to leak the news, this commander does not want to cause panic and chaos in advance, and hopes that these sailboats can get more people out of danger." ”

Huang Li finally knew why Ye Gucheng had taken a fancy to a boatman, and he also realized that the situation was serious, so he solemnly accepted his order.

Next, Ye Gucheng ordered like the northern border, collecting silver products, forcibly recruiting strong men and all other cumbersome matters, Huang Li did not allow all of them, and when he finished explaining everything, the sky was already bright, because he was concerned about the royal capital, he did not take a break, and returned to the capital directly.

The commander is all gone!

The wind-like news reassured the people, but the next state decrees made everyone dumbfounded, the most unacceptable of which was the newly issued conscription order.

Over 16 years old, under 35 years old, but all strong men are enlisted in the army, unlike the previous conscription orders, this time there are no reservations and bottom lines, of course, the military salary has been greatly increased, and the people's resistance to this has improved a lot.

On the royal palace, the minister of finance said with grief and indignation: "Please also ask the commander to invite another meritocrat, this minister of finance, the minister really can't afford to be the minister! The western border needs money for the resettlement of fishermen, the money for shipbuilding, the large-scale production of weapons and equipment by the manufacturing bureau, the reconstruction of the two borders in the northeast, the endless supply of military salaries, the purchase of silver products, and all these things, where can the treasury still afford them, the minister, is really incompetent!"

If it was in the past, Zhang Yi would have seconded it, but now that he knew what was going on, he could only persuade him repeatedly.

In fact, very few of the Chinese military generals of the DPRK knew the truth, let alone stood on the united front, and most of the courtiers were filled with righteous indignation, and the content of their complaints was nothing more than labor and money; in their minds, such messy things as shipbuilding and collecting silver products were not beneficial to the country, and forced conscription was even more unnecessary.

Ye Gucheng didn't have much to think about them, and said indifferently: "There is no need to worry too much about the direction of the treasury, the reconstruction work in the northeast has decided to postpone it." ”

The ministers were stunned, what kind of national policy is this? When did the commander become so mediocre? If it weren't for Ye Gucheng's expression and tone as always, they even suspected that the person sitting on the throne was an impostor.

"For the rest of the matters, you can report to the prime minister and withdraw from the dynasty. Ye Gucheng waved his hand and left quickly, leaving behind the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who were staying on the spot.

Side hall.

Zhang Yi said worriedly: "Commander, such a big event, whether it is appropriate to inform the government and the opposition, now the courtiers are guessing in every possible way, the ministers... It's unbearable!"

"I don't know how this marshal is, but Xiangguo, have you thought about it, if everyone in the courtiers knows, it means that the whole country knows, panic, many times it is more terrible than war! The army of the kingdom is already deeply powerless to the outside world, how can it spare energy to care for the inside!" Ye Gucheng has a headache if he can't eat well and sleep well during this time, not to mention dealing with courtiers and beloved women!

Since he returned to the palace, he has avoided Li Yueli's suspicion on the grounds that he is busy with state affairs, but he knows that he can't avoid it for too long!

Zhang Yi was silent for a long time, and said softly: "It seems that this can only be the case! I hope that Nansheng Kingdom can withstand this disaster!"

"Priority evacuation candidates hurry up, remember, it must be done in secret. ”

"Obey!" Zhang Yi thought for a while, and then said: "Commander, are the ministers of the DPRK and China arranged... ”

Ye Gucheng's expression was cold, and he said indifferently: "Ben Shuai thinks that he has said it clearly enough! If Xiang Guo's memory is not good, Ben Shuai repeats it, the young and promising elders with skills are preferred, and secondly, one person from all families, children are given priority, and then there are ship berths in the line arrangement.

Zhang Yi sighed secretly and said solemnly: "Minister, obey!"

After Ye Gucheng finished handling his business, he walked out of the side hall physically and mentally exhausted, and in a daze, he involuntarily came to the Wolong Hall again.

The golden dragon was lying on his stomach quietly, and Li Yue'er was still in front of the dragon's head, obviously, Li Yue'er was communicating with the golden dragon about something!

Ye Gucheng didn't understand how Li Yue'er and the Golden Dragon communicated, but he didn't interrupt, but chose to stay silently.

Quiet, peaceful, is the scene in front of him! It's just that Ye Gucheng doesn't know how long this rare tranquility can last!

I don't know how long it took, Li Yue'er slowly withdrew her palm, and gently turned to look at Ye Gucheng, with a rare flash of deep sadness in her eyes. "Brother-in-law, I saw it!"

Ye Gucheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Li Yue'er seemed to have become a little different, what was it, he couldn't say it!"What did Yue'er see?"

"Southside!"

"Southside?"

"That's right! The southern border, where, soon became a battlefield, and the army of the undead had already appeared!" Li Yue'er's voice was very soft, and the pain in her eyes was even more obvious.

Ye Gucheng's face changed drastically, and he said urgently: "What Yue'er said is true?"

"Yue'er won't lie to her brother-in-law, the news from the south will come soon, and Yue'er finally knows why the mage must find the dragon lord with Yue'er!" Li Yue'er's voice was soft and ethereal!

"Why?" Ye Gucheng was stunned for no reason.

"Because, Yue'er, like her brother-in-law, is the one who should be robbed!" Actually, Li Yue'er still had nothing to say, she saw the ending through the golden dragon, which belonged to her and Ye Gucheng!
