Volume 2 Ice Age Chapter 166 Natural Disaster Strikes
For the next period of time, Xue Wu was very busy, and the three of Morrowind were also inextricably matched! The bedroom of the two is brightly lit every night.
This situation lasted for more than a month, and in a few days, it was the seventeenth birthday of the Snow Dance, the people of the country sang and danced, and the court was peaceful, so those days were also extraordinarily lively.
After another two months, the people of Cangyun lived and worked in peace and contentment, the people's hearts were stable, and there was a quiet and peaceful image, and people seemed to have forgotten the turmoil that swept across the country, and the history books recorded that disaster as the Beiyong Rebellion.
It is another winter, the heavy snow in Cloud Dance City, which has never snowed in previous years, has been frozen for three days, and the rivers outside Cloud Dance City are frozen for thousands of miles, and the rivers and mountains are covered in snow-covered silver, like a silver paradise, the smoke in Cloud Dance City is slow, the crowd of people coming and going is boiling, and the hawkers are constantly shouting, and the whole is a prosperous atmosphere.
However, it didn't take long for the calm to be broken again, on the seventh day of the second month of the first year of Wuqing, the northern countries had heavy snow for more than a month, the grain in the fields was not harvested, the country was cold, the wind was raging, countless houses were destroyed, the people were displaced, the refugees were countless, the victims left their hometowns and flocked to the warm south, along the way there were frozen to death and starvation to death should be remembered by tens of millions, along the way where the crowd stepped on, the corpses piled up into a mountain, countless refugees frantically poured into the two countries of the south wind and clouds, Xue Wu took pity on them and ordered to open the warehouse and release the grain.
Xue Wu stood on the city wall in a black imperial costume and looked at the countless refugees outside the city who were unable to eat and clothe, and her heart ached, Rong'er came over and persuaded her: "Your Majesty, the weather outside the palace is cold, don't freeze your body. ”
The current Rong'er is the head of the palace maid, and she can be regarded as having some little power.
Xue Wuyu pointed to the refugees outside the city: "Rong'er, look at those refugees, they don't have their own home, but this day made them have to leave their hometowns." ”
Snow Dance is even more beautiful than before, and her originally flat chest has a little bulge.
Rong'er put on a cloak for Xue Wu: "Your Majesty, how do we do this lord, come into the house quickly." ”
"Hey..."Xue Wu slowly shook her head and walked back to the Imperial Palace.
For the next seven days, there was a continuous influx of victims into the clouds, and for a time the food was urgent, and the city was overcrowded, and the ministers constantly advised to expel the victims to prevent the victims from rioting, but Xue Wu did not think so, she thought that if she provided them with food and shelter, she was their benefactor, and she would definitely not take revenge.
In the first few days, it was indeed as Snow Dance said, but the heavy snow fell again, the north wind howled, the temperature plummeted, the water turned into ice, and the dew turned into frost, and the tents provided by Snow Dance were no longer enough to shelter them from the wind and cold, and some of the victims began to loot the supplies of the shops in the city, among which the shops selling warm clothes were especially serious, and they were almost looted.
There were constantly businessmen to the government to complain about the evil deeds of the victims, and for a time there were many complaints, and Xue Wu issued an edict to compensate the royal price for all the materials looted by the victims, so that the first public grievances were quelled, and the same situation was constantly staged in all southern countries, among which Nan Qianqiu ordered the expulsion of all the victims when the first robbery occurred, and the forbidden army strictly guarded the border passes, but the frontier was really long, and he could only give up part of the uninhabited places and concentrate on guarding the main area in the middle. Snow Dance still took it all as ordered, but this time Snow Dance strengthened its jurisdiction, and the forbidden army built a camp to isolate the victims, and finally settled down.
In the next few days, the temperature is getting colder and colder day by day, and the ice gradually spreads to the entire Cangyun country, which is about to enter the time of spring, but now even the southernmost city where Cangyun has never had frost for thousands of years since the founding of the country, is now also a river that has been frozen for thousands of miles, and the sun hanging high in the sky does not feel a little bit of temperature, only endless bone-chilling cold.
After another five days, the victims who had finally settled down rioted again, they broke through the fence and wounded the forbidden army and poured into the city again, this time they robbed the shops they saw, rushed into the houses when they saw people, and took everything they saw to take away, and destroyed on the spot if they couldn't! It has turned into a riot.
Countless residents rose up to resist and scuffled with the victims, explosions continued to sound in the city, the ground covered with ice and snow was stained red with blood, Ye Yanan led a large number of forbidden troops to arrest and control the victims of the rebellion.
The people took to the streets to protest, demanding that all the victims be expelled from the country, and the accusation was delivered to the imperial palace Xue Wu was furious, she provided them with food and shelter, but they took revenge! Opposing ministers also took the opportunity to write and demand the expulsion of the victims.
Xue Wu sat on the throne in the court, holding the dragon chair with both hands.
"If you have any good ideas, you might as well speak up and listen to them."
A minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty's acceptance of foreign refugees should be a great grace of heaven, but the foreign people are not grateful for the grace of heaven, but they have repeatedly provoked my Cangyun Emperor's authority, and they should all be expelled from the country!" ”
Another person stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are opposed, the people are starving, and it is difficult for anyone to control themselves when they are hungry and cold, so they should not be punished, but should open the warehouse again to release grain to reassure the people, and the people can pay for the losses of the court at the original price." ”
When the minister heard this, he immediately pointed at him and roared: "The official is still in the book! Do you know that my Cangyun Grain Depot is in an emergency! The rest of the grain doesn't last long. ”
The man retorted, "What does this mean? The food is gone, you can still hunt, and the victims outside are not born to their parents who were conceived in October, they are all living people! They fled to my clouds, and only 12 out of 10 people were lucky enough to arrive, how could you bear to drive them away? ”
"You! Adopt the people of other countries with the bread of my clouds, and if they retreat in the future, they will surely abandon us, and in the end they will make wedding dresses for others! The minister flicked his sleeves and was very angry.
Seeing that the two were arguing for a while, Xue Wu said coldly: "Okay, okay, I'm looking for you to discuss things, not to let you quarrel!" I'm giving you a headache to argue. ”
Xue Wuyu's hand was gentle on her forehead, and her face was sad.
"Your Majesty, the minister still suggests expelling the victims, calming my people's anger, and keeping my Cangyun peaceful."
"Your Majesty, by all means!"
"Your Majesty! 1,200 miles expedited! A soldier hurried in to present a letter, and Rong'er took the envelope and handed it to Xue Wu.
Xue Wu opened it, frowned, and slapped it on the table angrily.
The ministers looked at each other, and the official secretary said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what happened." ”
Xue Wu said angrily: "There are riots in the countries outside the south wind, and the countries are fighting back and forth to grab food. ”
"This..."The official Shangshu stopped talking, things had exceeded their expectations, once the riot turned into a full-scale war, the pattern of this continent would be reshuffled, and for a small country like Cangyun, the consequences would be catastrophic.
Morrowind walked in: "Snow Dance, I have a plan, I don't know if you would like to hear it." ”
Xue Wu complained: "What nonsense are you talking about! When did I stop listening to what you said? Let's talk about it soon. ”
"Hey, hey." After Chenfeng laughed, he said solemnly: "If you allow the victims to make trouble in the central area, then a bigger riot is certain, and Xue Wu you are soft-hearted and don't want to see them suffer, I think you can build a temporary city in the border area to accommodate the victims, the city must be big, first, it can block the victims from continuing to advance south, and it can be resettled on the spot, second, if there is a riot, it can also be extinguished in time to avoid disasters to the country and the people, and third, as long as they are provided with sufficient protection, if the war is tight in the future, They will certainly not sit idly by, they can act as a certain combat force, and the border areas need to be prepared in case the war becomes tight. ”
The military department Shangshu objected: "Although His Royal Highness King Ming's plan is good, we don't have so much food." ”
Chenfeng smiled calmly: "Don't worry, my lord, food is not a problem, I have already negotiated with the Dongliang Lord, they will be responsible for providing these people with warm animal skins and excess food, and the selected location is close to the Warcraft Forest, it is also estimated that they will hunt Warcraft in exchange for food." ”
"Wonderful, wonderful! His Royal Highness King Ming's clever plan can really be described as a plan to kill three birds with one stone. The official secretary kept applauding.
Xue Wu finally smiled, looked at Chenfeng gratefully, and then returned to seriousness: "Spread my will, build a city wall on the border, strictly guard the forbidden army, expand the city in the border city of the Northern Sect to accommodate the victims, and step up communication with the two countries of Nanfeng and Dongliang to prevent a possible war in advance." ”
The ministers shouted in unison: "Obey the holy decree." ”
Soon Ye Yanan led the army to the north to the border, and Ye Gucheng was ordered to rush from Beizong City to transfer the victims of the disaster, the mighty team, starting from all over the country, there was only one destination, that is, the nearest city on the border of Dongliang and Nanfeng Cangyun, the newly established Beizong Border City.
The 200,000 forbidden army was divided into two teams to build the border city wall day and night, and built a strong city wall of 20 zhang high and 7 zhang wide in just one month, and the expansion of the border city of Beizong was completed with the efforts of the victims, a 100 miles long and 100 miles wide, and a megacity that could accommodate tens of millions of people rose from the ground in January.
Some of the victims who were well-fed, warm-clothed, wives and children, and hot kang began to be dissatisfied with the status quo, they opened shops and traded with other victims in order to seek to live in other cities, it is strange to say, within a hundred miles south of the Emperor's Absolute Valley, there was no impact, and the four seasons were still like spring, so Xue Wu ordered all the residents to be relocated to grow high-yield food, and the forbidden army added a wall to patrol day and night, which once became a beauty difference in the army, and the Warcraft Forest was not affected in any way, and the four seasons still alternated with each other.
In this month's time, the temperature is still falling without the slightest sign of improvement, the Cangyun border is still not closed, there is still a continuous influx of victims, and then integrated into the big family of the border city, Cangyun is thriving again, until one day a person arrives...
On this day, Morning Wind was patrolling the border city, and this man had fled from the Wind Shadow Empire and a victim who was passing by Morrowind caught Moralwind's attention...
