Chapter 409: Ning Ze's thoughts
Shen Hao and the four brothers of the Wu family led the troops to retreat, and Ning Ze saw the red dot moving through the virtual map, and the whole situation was completely grasped.
When the red dot completely disappeared from the virtual map, he recruited his soldiers to climb the mountain with him.
When you go to the top of the mountain, you can still see the traces left by the other party's ambush.
Of course, it also includes boulders that don't come in handy and look dangerous left at the top of the cliff.
If you ignore it, you won't necessarily fall, but there is always a probability.
"Lord Wang, for the sake of safety, we should move these stones to other places, so as not to accidentally roll down and block the way. The subordinate suggested, "If the rocks slip when our army passes, it will be enough to choke." ”
Ning Ze thought about it when he heard this, and turned his gaze into the distance.
After a while, he said to his subordinates: "Flag the mountain, stay where you are, and don't move around at will." We pry all the stones and roll them straight down. ”
"But my lord, if you do this, you will block the way, and you have to go down to clean it up, isn't it asking for trouble?"
Normal people's thinking must be to solve trouble, how can anyone create trouble for themselves?
Isn't it good to move these dangerous rocks to the other side? Rolling down is completely in your way!
"Follow Lone's order!" Ning Ze had his own thoughts.
What can I do? This is the king of Danyang, who is in power and in the opposition, and he has the final say in the entire Huaguo.
Even though he was puzzled by the order, the soldier complied.
When the camp at the foot of the mountain saw the flag, he didn't have so many ideas.
After a while, a loud movement was heard, and Liu Yuanxiang, Chu Meiren, Mi Yan, Hua Erniang, and Fluttershy all ran out of the camp, looking up in confusion.
The sound came from the top of the mountain, and I saw a large number of boulders rolling down, and the speed was staggering. Everywhere I went, the trees broke and the rocks collapsed, and they fell to the mountain road one after another, smashing out big holes one after another, completely blocking the road.
On the top of the mountain, it was Ning Ze and the soldiers who brought them up the mountain that caused these boulders to roll down.
What is the situation? Liu Yuanxiang and the others looked at each other, their minds full of question marks.
How can there be a reason to block your own way?
But at this time, no one dared to step forward to stop it, such a big stone can instantly flatten a war horse, let alone people?
Eventually, all the stones at the top of the mountain that had been prepared in advance were pushed down, blocking the already narrow mountain path and making it completely impassable.
After doing this, Ning Ze led the soldiers down the mountain and returned to the camp.
The wives couldn't understand and hurried forward.
"Husband, what's going on?" Liu Yuanxiang took his hand and asked anxiously.
Facing the puzzled eyes of his wives, Ning Ze replied with a smile: "There are many huge rocks in the most dangerous position on the top of the mountain. Any boulder that accidentally rolls down may cause a chain reaction, and if it is abandoned, it will be dangerous when we pass through! It is good that it does not fall, but once it falls, it is too late to react. You also saw the speed and power just now, and you took it back in advance to protect yourself!"
"But to protect yourself, shouldn't you push the stone to the other side of the mountain?" Chu Meiren asked curiously.
"That's it!!" The wives surrounded Ning Ze, it was really incomprehensible.
"Doing things alone is done after careful consideration," Ning Ze said with a smile, "This is the only way to go, the people of Mizhou come and go, and the caravan peers have an influence." As soon as I climbed the mountain and looked into the distance, there was a man and horse who looked like a caravan rushing to this side, and they would soon arrive here. Lone had already given the order to go down, and the whole army stepped forward to move the stones and open the way. ”
"Isn't this an extra move?" Mi Yan was speechless.
"It's really redundant," Ning Ze replied with a smile, "but it's good for us to make good use of it." ”
A few women, you look at me, I look at you, all at a loss.
Chu Meiren was smart enough to quickly figure it out: "What does the husband mean, do you want to use this to enhance your prestige in Mizhou and win the hearts of the people?"
"What do you mean?" Mi Yan asked her in confusion.
After being reminded, Liu Yuanxiang also figured it out: "Oh~ I know! It turns out that my husband is planning this!"
"What, what do you mean?" Mi Yan was confused when she heard this, and quickly grabbed Hua Erniang, "Do you understand?"
Hua Erniang shook her head blankly.
Seeing Miyan look at her, Fluttershy shakes her head, indicating that she doesn't understand.
"You stay here to rest," Ning Ze said with a smile, "When the time comes, you will naturally understand Gu's intentions." The whole army obeys the order!"
"Whew!" five hundred musketeers hurriedly lined up.
"Follow me to dredge the mountain road!" Ning Ze personally took the lead, stepped forward and lassoed the boulder with a rope, and let the war horse cooperate with the pull, moving the stones one by one.
All the stones on the top of the mountain have been pushed down, and the whole road has already been blocked.
Don't look easy, it's hard to get them away.
More than 500 people together, each half a day could not be completed.
Liu Yuanxiang and the other women rested in the carriage.
After a while, the team that Ning Ze saw from a distance arrived nearby, and it was indeed a caravan.
The leader of the caravan approached and saw that the mountain road was blocked, and a large group of soldiers were desperately trying to clear it.
Ning Ze walked out of the crowd, his face was covered with mud, and his body was dirty, and at first glance it was the traces left by pulling stones hard. He came to the leader of the caravan and patted the dust on his clothes: "Gu Nai Yuan Xi Empress Imperial Husband, Huaguo Taiwei, Danyang Wang Ning Ze, invited by Xuanjiao Jia Daoren to visit the centennial parade celebration! Therefore, lead the troops to dredge!"
"Oops!!!" When the leader of the caravan heard this, he was so frightened that he rolled off his saddle and knelt down directly, "I don't know that the king is here, please forgive the villain for being rude!"
In the land of the Sixteen Prefectures, as long as the people of the Chamber of Commerce respect Ning Ze, because he has the Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, the ordinary businessmen who lived separately and were distributed in the sixteen states, now the vast majority of them have joined the Chamber of Commerce, whether it is to do business or something, it is much more convenient to have an organization, there is more convenience, and the money is naturally much easier to make.
As soon as the leader knelt down, all the caravan members behind him also knelt down and saluted, calling him the king.
There are several forces in the world, and it doesn't matter which force Ning Ze is, for these businessmen, he is a noble existence.
"The king's kindness is admirable!" said the leader of the caravan, "why do you need to do such a small matter yourself? ”
After speaking, he immediately called the caravan members to help clear the mountain road.
Ning Ze said loudly: "My lord is the daughter of the first emperor, and all the people in the world are people. Besides, this is the only passage, and there must be others passing by besides you and me, so we should dredge it up as soon as possible to avoid affecting the people's livelihood!"
"It seems that the rumors cannot be believed, the king is benevolent!"
"It's best if you're willing to help, and quickly move the rocks with Lone!"
"Whoa!"
The whole caravan was joined, and it was much faster.
Witnessing Ning Ze rushing in front, he didn't stand up for a while, and worked with his subordinates to clear the road, and the caravan members said in their hearts that it had been rumored outside, and they all said that Ning Ze was the first powerful minister in Huaguo, and he was an ambitious person who used Empress Yuanxi as a puppet and tried to seize the world. It's a traitor who is desperate for his power and position.,Extraordinarily selfish.。 Now I see it in person, where is it like the rumors?
This king obviously has no frame and is extremely close to the people. And he was kind-hearted, he could have turned around and returned, what did the trouble of the people of Liang have to do with him?
But instead of leaving, he actually took into account the inconvenience of the people, and personally cleared the road as a dignified king, and he didn't care about the clothes that were covered with mud, and his whole face was spent, and he didn't stop.
Seeing him and thinking about the big and small officials in Liang State, although there are many good officials, no one can do this!
The caravan members were full of admiration and admiration, and they worked more energetically.
After that, some civilians of Liang State appeared one after another, some did small business, some visited relatives, and some were purely passing by, and when they saw that the only mountain road was blocked, they took the initiative to come over to help.
Knowing that Ning Ze, the king of Danyang in Huaguo, disregarded his noble status and personally dredged the mountain road to solve the difficulties for the local people, he was so moved that he felt that the rumors were hateful, and he even described such a big man who was close to the people as a super traitor. Sure enough, the rumors are not credible!
With the concerted efforts of Ning Ze and five hundred musketeers, as well as caravans and passers-by, it took half a day to finally dredge the mountain road smoothly and restore the road.
The caravan and the passers-by thanked Ning Ze for their kindness, and learned that he still had the status of an envoy, so they asked for an escort.
Mi Yan, Hua Erniang, and Fluttershy finally understood Ning Ze's reason for doing this after Chu Meiren's careful explanation.
First, he can buy people's hearts. And the caravan went from south to north, going anywhere. The local people come and go, and when they encounter such a big person, they must not be buried in their hearts, and when the time comes, they will become a free propaganda machine and go around to promote themselves. If the impression becomes better, the people's will in Michigan will change with it, although it may not spread so quickly, change everyone's mind, at least win more and more people's hearts, so that the resistance to occupy Michigan in the future will be reduced;
Second, the caravan and the people took the initiative to ask for escorts, which made Sima Fa's side scruple to a certain extent. It is impossible for the other party to cancel the mission against himself because of this trivial matter, but once the caravan and people escorting themselves are involved, the time will make the matter bigger if they are killed, and the other party must be cautious in their words and deeds, and dare not act impulsively.
You can deceive the hearts of the people, and you can prevent the other party from doing everything to a certain extent, so why not?
Mi Yan, Hua Erniang, and Fluttershy are surprised and admired when they learn of Ning Ze's thoughts.
And in terms of results, the plan was very successful!
The ranks of the mission became larger, and many of them were caravans and Mizhou people, unless the other party was not afraid of making a big deal and forcing the government to intervene and give an explanation to the people.
But if something really happens, it is equivalent to checking yourself, how can you give the people a satisfactory explanation?
The other party must avoid this thunder, and he has to find a way to deal with Ning Ze again.
