Xingnan Dao, a somewhat distant southern continent, is in a state of extreme panic.

The response to the aftermath is simple: isolation, eviction, incineration and burial.

By the time the tenth supply fleet arrived, there was no room left at the foot of the east-west wall, and there were refugee camps, quarantine sites, and mass graves everywhere.

Wang Zhi, who was in charge of government affairs, had a white hair, and was talking to Yu Bo with a sad face.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Commander Yu to do this!"

Yu Bo spread his hands and said: "What's wrong, now is the right time, if you don't act at this time, do you have to wait for them to come to their senses before fighting us?" Besides, the Semu people have already invaded the Star Continent, auspiciousness is not safe, we must stabilize the situation as soon as possible and transfuse blood to the mainland." ”

Wang Zhi didn't have any better way to persuade Yu Bo, so he could only say helplessly: "In this case, try to kill as little as possible, and only target the high-level of all ethnic groups." ”

Yu Bo nodded in agreement, but said again: "Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me die, obedient nature is peaceful, and disobedient people deserve to die." ”

A decapitation force of great white sharks and vipers then set out from the waterway.

At this time, Zifeng was still in the harbor waiting for the revenge of the Semu people.

But the people did not come, as if they had disappeared.

It's like the tears shed on this land, the tears that don't exist at all, so I endured it.

Originally, he was looking forward to a big battle with the Semu people, but it had been more than half a year, and he didn't see the slightest movement from the other party.

He really couldn't wait any longer, and planned to apply to the mainland and go back to fight against the Semu people.

Before he could hand in the written application, the tenth wave of the supply fleet arrived in the southern continent and brought him the order to hold on, while Da Gaoqiang, as a subordinate, was transferred back to the mainland, saying that he had another mission.

Although Zifeng was unwilling, he could not disobey the military order, so he had to be appointed to stay.

Fortunately, a new shipyard has been built to the south of Glory Town, and the first steam ironclad is now being built, and it is not much pleasure for him to see the progress of the ship every day.

The shipyard's technicians are all from the auspicious homeland, and the locals recruited are still in the apprenticeship stage, doing some simple work.

Due to the continuous blood transfusion of the mainland, the north has established a relatively complete industrial system, which can be produced from small matches to large warships.

In addition to coal, almost all of the mineral resources that are in urgent need of auspiciousness are here, so the development is extremely rapid.

Due to the plague, there was no shortage of labor here.

This is because people outside the wall who have spent the quarantine observation period will be allowed to enter the north of the wall.

As a result, the place is already overcrowded.

The best solution at the moment is to send them to the return supply fleet in batches and send them to Bentu to relieve the labor pressure there.

Another solution has also been adopted, which is conscription.

The men who entered the barracks were exhausted from daily drills, so they naturally didn't have the heart to pick quarrels and provoke troubles.

Moreover, conscription is also a matter of Wang Xuan's explanation, and now that the local crisis has appeared, Xingnan Dao will have to rush to the kingdom sooner or later, and train the soldiers in advance so that he can not panic.

After seeing the progress of the battleship, Zifeng came to the recruit training ground, which was a good place he had only recently discovered.

It seems that watching others being tossed to death and come back to life, there is an inexplicable comfort in his heart.

"Hey, Zifeng is here, what's the matter, go down to practice?"

Yu Bazhi's eyes were very poisonous, and Zifeng had just arrived at the sentry post in the barracks when he saw it.

"Well, my navy is fighting with your army. ”

Seeing the other party's disdain, Yu Bo replied angrily: "The enemy is on the boat, and he doesn't have to fight hand-to-hand!"

Zifeng's teeth itched when he said this, didn't he curse him, so he replied sarcastically: "We are not like your army, let's wait for the enemy to get on our ship." ”

"Hey......

Yu Bo laughed out loud, didn't continue the topic, and asked after a while: "Did the family say when they want you to go back?"

Zifeng sighed, "Your Majesty asked me to stick to Xingnan Dao. ”

"Haha......"

Yu Bo suddenly laughed, but it startled Zifeng, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"Don't mind, do you know why I'm laughing?"

Zifeng didn't answer, still staring at the aftermath with an unhappy face.

"Hey, I'm afraid that telling you the truth will make you even more depressed. ”

Zifeng didn't get on the set, turned around and left.

Yu Bo shouted loudly at his back: "Lao Tzu will be auspicious at the end of this month, envy it?"

Listening to the constant cheap laughter behind him, Zifeng's steps were faster.

It just so happened that he was going to meet the newly arrived commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Xiao Qiangzhi.

Speaking of which, Xiao Qiangzhi is not a few years older than him, and he looks like he is in his early thirties, which is not surprising.

I insist on finding a feature, that is, the pair of eyelids, which droop all day as if they didn't wake up, commonly known as dead fish eyes.

After Xiao Qiangzhi, who was sorting out the headquarters, saw Zifeng, he warmly beckoned him to sit down and poured water himself, which made Zifeng a little flattered.

"I'm new here, and I have a lot of support from Zifeng. ”

Listening to the kind words and drinking the warm water, most of the unhappiness in Zifeng's heart due to not being able to return to the mainland was instantly dispersed.

"Where, Commander Xiao has something to do, just give orders. ”

Xiao Qiangzhi smiled, sat down opposite him, and said after salivaing: "Although there is a description in the briefing, I still want to know from you how many enemies there are in Xingnan Dao that have not been eliminated. ”

After hearing this, Zifeng felt that it was most appropriate for Commander Xiao to ask Yu Bazhi, but when he thought of Yu Bazhi's temperament, he could understand.

So he replied with some seriousness: "There are only three tribes in the south left, but due to the plague, most of them are not in the climate." ”

Xiao Qiangzhi nodded when he heard this, and said again: "It's been more than a year, what effective prevention methods can be studied?"

Zifeng said: "I have tried a lot of methods, but there are not many useful ones, the most effective is isolation, as for those who are sick, ......"

What will happen if you are sick, Zifeng didn't say it, but Xiao Qiangzhi understood.

The two chatted for a long time, and it wasn't until Yu Bo came in that they stopped talking.

"Commander Xiao, there are still a few days left before the end of November, let's take over the military affairs. ”

"Okay, Zifeng will go back first, and we'll talk again after I finish handing over to Commander Yu. ”

After sending Zifeng away, Xiao Qiangzhi started to hand over with Yu Bo.

There are not many things, except that conscription is training, and a beheading team of more than 100 people needs attention, there is nothing else, so the so-called handover is more like going through a process.

Xiao Qiangzhi had just arrived here and was anxious to understand the situation, so he asked Yu Bodao: "Commander Yu, how do you think the several tribes in the south should be subdued?"

Yu Bo smiled: "I'm already doing this." ”

Then, he told Xiao Qiangzhi about the beheading action plan, and he was very happy when he looked at the other party's stunned expression.

"Right now, it's probably time to go to the Yang Clan. ”

Xiao Qiangzhi was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the aftermath helplessly and said: "You, you, you left me a big burden, I brought a few bottles of Your Majesty's treasures, I have to drink you down tonight." ”

Yu Bo is also a good drinker, and he was happy when he heard the words, "Cheng, I don't know when the next goodbye will be, one counts as one, let's drink it openly tonight." ”

This night, not to mention the aftermath, even Wang Zhi, who is extremely self-disciplined, drank a little high, and pulled Xiao Qiangzhi to complain about his bitterness.

"You don't know, I feel bad when I see so many dead bodies every day. Now they are all auspicious people, Your Majesty's people, I am ashamed of Your Majesty!"

Xiao Qiangzhi also drank a lot, after all, he was nearly twenty years younger than Wang Zhi, but he was quite sober.

is used to seeing Wang Zhi's serious side, and when he sees the current scene again, he also empathizes.

But I heard Wang Zhi say again: "Those old people's resistance is already poor, and they will go when they go, and they don't have many days to live, but those children are wronged, and the good days are coming, but they were killed by the plague, I feel uncomfortable!"

Wang Zhi said a lot more intermittently, mostly saying that his ability was limited, that he was entrusted by His Majesty, and that he was ashamed of the people of Xingnan Dao and the like, and never mentioned the aftermath of the plague.

At this time, Yu Bo was fighting with Zifeng for wine, and he naturally listened to Wang Zhi's words, but he did his own thing like no one.

Sighing secretly, Xiao Qiangzhi spoke out to comfort Wang Zhilai.

In any case, it is not easy for the other party to give up the comfortable life of the homeland and come here to preside over the situation.

Don't talk about any marginal words such as treatment and welfare, at this level, material things are secondary, and there are not many places to spend money.

Besides, drink and spit out the truth.

Although he couldn't tell whether Wang Zhi was sincere or false at the moment, he believed that some of the descriptions in the words were the most comprehensive interpretation of the current Xingnan Dao.

"Commissioner, you have done a good job, you can build a wall in a short period of time to keep the plague out, even Your Majesty said that you responded in a timely manner and took appropriate measures, I want to thank you well, what else can you not let go. ”

Hearing that His Majesty said that he wanted to thank him, Wang Zhi was a little frightened, and waved his hand again and again: "Where can Your Majesty thank me, old man, I have become more and more powerless recently, and I will need more support from Commander Xiao in the future." ”

Xiao Qiangzhi responded with a smile.

Subsequently, Wang Zhi was taken away by his family, and Zifeng on the wine table had already reached the bottom of the table.

The aftermath of the clamor just now was not much better, and the word 'big' lay on the ground, snoring and shaking the sky.

Several other staff officers and colonels had already fallen to the ground.

After calling the guards and sending everyone back one by one, Xiao Qiangzhi washed his cold face, he received a lot of big information today, he had to calm down and take a good look.

Just now Wang Zhi wants to cooperate with him, which means that the military represented by the predecessor Yu Bo does not have a tacit understanding with the government represented by Wang Zhi, and even has a gap, otherwise he will not let the newcomer cooperate.

Moreover, the plague raged indeed increased the difficulty of Wang Zhi's work and disrupted the implementation of his policies and guidelines.

Yu Bo is a little debauched, to put it mildly, he is very pretentious and looks down on people, but he has no bad intentions, and it is very likely that he will inadvertently offend Wang Zhi.

Therefore, to sum up, the relationship between the military and the government is not harmonious.

Of course, even if you are harmonious, you have to pretend that you are not harmonious, this is an immutable iron law.

As for Zifeng, Xiao Qiangzhi is a little unpredictable.

This person is from a professional background, he must be capable and capable, and he must have qualifications, so it stands to reason that His Majesty should transfer him back to appointment, rather than having a demerit of Da Gaoqiang.

This point is extremely incomprehensible to Xiao Qiangzhi, unless His Majesty remembers the old relationship and has the heart to give Da Gaoqiang a chance to turn over, it can't be explained.

He didn't care about political affairs, and he couldn't care about them, so he thought about the most things in the army.

After some consideration, Xiao Qiangzhi also has a general direction for his future work.

The aftermath of his ruthless actions was brought back and he was asked to take over military affairs, and the signal was already clear: His Majesty wanted Xingnan Dao to stabilize quickly.

Combined with the analysis of the current situation in the Xingyao Continent, Xiao Qiangzhi is also clear.
