Chapter 85: Xiao Fengxian's Ambition
Ximenqing returned to the parliament in an orderly chaos, all the important ministers who had to be in place were already there, and the emergency response speed of the Chinese Federal Government was still quite agile.
This agility is also forced out - the former holy hand scholar Xiao Rang was born in a poor literati, but unfortunately he has a low eye and a low master, and he has no ability to govern the country except for copying good handwriting, and he doesn't want to develop as an artist, but just wants to drill into the officialdom.
Seeing that if this continues, Xiao Rang, who is obsessed with officials, is likely to make mistakes, and Ximenqing arranged a job that is very suitable for people like Xiao Rang in a timely manner - Xiao let himself pay for a newspaper to come out, and he became the editor-in-chief and chief writer, which is called "Folk Imperial History Newspaper" - if he can't be a genuine imperial history, it is comforting to be an uncrowned imperial history.
Therefore, whenever there is a little trivial matter in the Chinese Federation, Xiao Rang has to rush over with his own editorial staff, holding an hourglass, and he will chatter endlessly: "Let's take a look at the efficiency of these officials, and see if the people are worth paying them taxes!" โ
This holy hand scholar is a veteran of Liangshan, and Ximen Qing also supports him to find fault everywhere, and others have to swallow it in their stomachs even if they are beaten out by Xiao Rang.
Under the guise of asking for the people's lives to cover up his hatred of officials, the fastidious Xiao Rang gradually became famous on Jingdong Road, and slowly he really found that wonderful feeling - isn't being an official just to manage people? But before being an official in the Chinese Federation and managing people, he must first be managed, and when he is this kind of official who can only give orders after entering the cage, it is better to go to the stallion farm in Zengtou City to be a stallion - but running a newspaper is very different, there are almost no restrictions, as long as he Xiao makes Uncle Xiao happy, he can brush his teeth several times a day as an official.
Xiao Rang no longer wanted to be an official, so he decided to devote his limited life to unlimited newspapers. Xiao Rang, whose ideals have been integrated into his life, is very "terrible", with such a great god in place, coupled with the countless tabloids that are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, the officials of the Chinese Federation have to check their work attitude at all times, and must not be grasped by these newspaper people, otherwise overnight, the notorious name of their own dereliction of duty may spread far and wide, and when they lose their official positions and abandon their posts, no one will sympathize with them.
Thinking of these, although the atmosphere at the meeting was very serious, Ximenqing couldn't help but smile at Xiao Rang, who was holding a timeglass and staring at him, which made Xiao Rang flattered for a while. But Ximenqing's smile at this moment was like throwing a ball of cotton into Liangshanbo, and he was swept away by Lang's head without even a ripple - Ximenqing, who stood in front of the map, was like water: "What's the matter?" โ
It turned out that all these troubles were caused by Xiao Fengxian, the Liao State envoy left behind in the concession of the Daimyo's Mansion.
After this Lord Xiao settled in the Daimyo's Mansion, according to Cheng Wanli's words, he used the plan of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle and cut off the supply of the Liao soldiers of the Daimyo's Mansion, and when the 20,000 horses were so hungry that they couldn't breathe, Lord Xiao rained down like a living immortal who rescued the suffering - he paid for these poor people out of his own pocket.
Having milk is a mother, having money is a father, having power is a mother, is the truth of many people, Xiao Fengxian successfully subdued 20,000 horses, which made Xiao Daren's heart reassured - this little money is worth it! In the future, even if his nephew Yeluding wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey after succeeding to the throne, as long as he controls the heart of the army, the emperor will also have to weigh - the only regret is that the Liao army stationed in the concession of this daimyofu is too small.
At this time, the Chinese Federation set off a hot greening movement, and Xiao Feng first wanted to pat Ximenqing's sycophants, so he stood up as an international friend to support it. It stands to reason that planting trees can't be planted by a big flood, but who is the person who also planted trees, and others don't have this ability, it doesn't mean that Xiao Fengxian Xiao can't.
Lord Xiao planted trees, which is different from others. The ordinary people of Pingtou are to beautify the road, green the mountain or something, it is a person who can do it, and if Lord Xiao wants to do it, he has to do it that is not done by a person, otherwise he will not show the dignity of his old man's identity.
With the heroic spirit of shaking the sky and the earth, Xiao Fengxian put forward the great idea of encircling the river and making fields - there is a Zhanghe River outside the Daimyo's Mansion, which has not stopped since ancient times, and today Lord Xiao wants to make the Zhanghe River stop and stop!
Lord Xiao's blueprint is very grandโif the Zhanghe River in this section of the Daimyo's Mansion is filled, how many fertile fields can be reclaimed and how many big trees can be planted! This is a great project, and if it is completed, the participants will be immortalized and praised by all generations to come.
It's a pity that the officials left by the Chinese Federation in the Daimyo Mansion are all old people used in the Liang Zhongshu era, and they are also effective, but although they have been attached to the new country, their thoughts have not yet turned a corner, and they are so prodded by high-ranking foreign friends that they will immediately be tempted - to engage in a big project of encircling the river and making fields, first, they can please the head of state, and secondly, they can make political achievements.
As a result, under the persuasion of many people who knew nothing about water conservancy but were eager to make political achievements, the proposal to enclose the river and create farmland was sent together with the official document of dredging the river, and then it was approved with lightning speed.
What is more harmful than the enclosure of rivers and the creation of fields is the enclosure of fields.
Xiao Fengxian, who had obtained the permit to enclose the river and build fields, said that he would contribute his meager strength to the prosperity and strength of the brotherly state, so he gave an order, and 20,000 Liao troops were put into this hot project, and their enthusiasm was comparable to a major battle.
It turned out that Xiao Fengxian secretly said this to the leading commander of the Liao army - "Our grassland men are most afraid of big rivers and rivers when they fight on horseback, and today they are filling in all the rivers that can be filled in Hebei by the name of surrounding the river and making men. โ
Therefore, the 20,000 Liao soldiers who were mobilized with military enthusiasm threw themselves into the grand cause of encircling the river and cultivating fields with the vigor of the ancestors.
But no one could have imagined that the retreat of the Zhanghe River was temporary, and it seemed to know that the famous retreat in the art of war was over, and when the rainy season came, the Zhanghe River swept away the flood waves and returned.
Only Xiao Fengxian and his 20,000 horses belong to the sincere and pragmatic faction with their arms, and they have caused great trouble to Zhanghe with great enthusiasm, so correspondingly, when these foreign friends who charged on the front line killed a horse gun in Zhanghe, it was too late to retreat.
It was just a Lang head, and Zhanghe swallowed Xiao Fengxian and his 20,000 people, without even making a sound of hiccups.
The unfinished Zhanghe River did not give up, continued to counterattack, and if it was blocked here, it would go there, and the surrounding places would be affected, but the Daimyo's Mansion was considered to have fallen into blood mold.
This city is 246 steps in 18 miles, and the northern Xiongcheng of Gate 17 is so stepped on the soles of the feet by the angry Zhanghe, and the landmark building Cuiyun Tower in the city can still pop up on the top of the river a few days ago, and even the tip of the building can not be seen these days.
With the Daimyo Mansion as the center, the common people are fleeing, Jingdong and the two roads have issued an emergency mobilization order, opening granaries to transfer grain, organizing transportation, to settle down the refugees in Hebei, and at the same time organizing experienced old sailors to take a boat to the former Daimyo Mansion to calm the floods.
When Ximenqing heard this, his face was silent, but he didn't speak for a while. **Damn it! This Xiao Fengxian is really a mother and son who are bad things, and they will be unlucky wherever they go! I knew that I should send this grandson to the Hades Palace as soon as possible, and he would be restless in the Yin and Underground Mansions, and the Yang World would be quiet first!
However, the water is ruthless, and Xiao Fengxian, who bore the brunt of the attack, is now estimated to be being punished by the bull and horse in the eighteenth layer of hell! Since he couldn't reach for two knives if he wanted to, he had to throw this thing away first!
At present, with the coordination and cooperation of various departments of the Chinese Federation, the disaster relief work has been carried out in an orderly manner.
While providing relief to the victims and quelling the floods, Ximenqing began to mobilize people, horses, grain and grass in the north. He knew that the sequelae of this matter were not trivial, no matter whether Xiao Fengxian was dead or alive now, he would have to die in the future! At that time, an uproar will inevitably be set off between the newly formed Chinese Federation and the Liao State.
At the same time, Ximen Qing Chuanyushu ordered the Dadao Wenda and Heavenly King Li Chengquan of the garrison near the concession of the ten counties of Guannan to prepare their entire army, pay attention to the movements of the people and horses of Yelu Dashi, the remaining envoy of the Guannan Concession, and be ready to respond at any time, and then arrange for various places to respond.
The garrison of Yanyun Concession also released a flying pigeon hermp here, reminding them to get ready. It is not necessary to start a major war between the two countries, but it is better to be prepared than to fight, but not to be unprepared.
After making arrangements for contingencies, Ximenqing personally went north, and Liang Zhongshu heard that the old place where he started had suffered natural disasters and man-made disasters, and he also followed Ximenqing with a gloomy face.
The farther north you go, the more refugees there are, full of pits and valleys, but fortunately, the Chinese Federation has been able to provide relief, there is no hunger on the road, and the medical team led by An Daoquan came earlier than Ximenqing, so there is no serious epidemic - all this makes Ximenqing's mood slightly better.
After entering the depth of Hebei Road, the closer you get to the Daimyo's Mansion, the more unfamiliar the terrain becomes, and in the end, the land completely becomes Zeguo, and if you want to go further, you can only take a boat.
Ximenqing looked at the flood of flat land in his eyes, and his slightly better mood went back again, he looked north and let out a long breath. This is exactly what it is:
The traitors have no intention of causing trouble, and the powerful ghosts intend to add to the disaster. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
