0173 The Helplessness of Troubled Times (Fourth Update)

Qinghe Town...... Although the name bears the word Qinghe, it has nothing to do with Qinghe County. Because the town was built next to a small river called Qinghe, it was called Qinghe Town.

Four months ago, Mu Yugen, the general of the Yan Kingdom, built a large camp of sailors five miles away, and the peaceful life of the town was shattered.

In order to allow the craftsmen to work with peace of mind, Mu Yugen also moved their families here and settled them in Qinghe Town.

There are many saline-alkali lands in the coastal areas, and their area is no exception, and the soil quality is not good for dozens of miles around. Qinghe Town is barely passable, and the water resources are also abundant, so you can grow some crops.

So they can only place people here.

The originally small town of Qinghe has become a large construction site, and construction of new houses is being started everywhere.

Months have passed, the construction work is not yet complete, and there are still many buildings under construction on the outskirts of the town.

As night fell, people who had been busy all night fell asleep one after another...... If you don't sleep, you can't do it, their night blindness is worse than that of the craftsmen of the sailor's battalion, and they are half blind at night.

Besides, it costs gas to light an oil lamp.

So the people have learned to rest early, and by the way, they can work hard to have more children.

In the middle of the night, many people were woken up by the noise in the distance, most of them turned over and continued to sleep, and a few people got up in the dark to take a look, and vaguely saw that the direction of the sailor camp was a little bright.

They didn't think much of it, they just thought they were training again, so they turned around and went back to sleep.

No one thought that it was the Navy Commander's camp that was sneak attacked, the reason is very simple, this is the hinterland of Yan Kingdom, who can sneak attack here across thousands of miles of territory.

In their knowledge, there is no such thing as an attack at sea.

It's not that they're stupid or anything, it's that they've never heard of anything like this in generations, let alone seen it.

If you have never heard or seen it, you naturally do not know.

Not long after I fell asleep, I heard a rumbling sound coming from far and near. I thought it was thunder, so I muttered and cursed the thief, turned over and continued to sleep.

But soon they realized that something was wrong, how could the thunder not disappear and get closer and closer? The dogs in the village also began to bark.

Some people who reacted quickly guessed that there might be an army passing by, but they only thought that it was an internal army movement in the Yan Kingdom, and did not consider the enemy attack.

The reasons have already been stated above.

There is a saying that bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and the people in troubled times know very well that they must not be curious, and they all close the door and don't look outside.

Well, it's a bit like an ostrich to talk about.

But it's more helpless and sad, but who wants to be an ostrich behind closed doors if there is a little way.

Naturally, it was Wenyi's Tang army who came outside, and when he learned of the existence of Qinghe Town, he decided to send troops to serve it here.

Four battalions and 50 cavalry were dispatched to complete the siege of Qinghe Town. Then they went from house to house and drove everyone to the open space outside.

Only then did the people of Qinghe Town know that they had really been attacked by the enemy.

The experience of troubled times tells them that at this time, they must not resist or run away, provoking the other party will only die faster.

While this experience often makes their death less worthless, it's the only thing they can do.

After searching everyone out, he sent people to the village to shout a few times.

We're going to set fire to the village, and if there's anyone hiding, get out quickly, or we'll not be responsible for being burned to death.

Sure enough, dozens more people didn't know where to get out.

After waiting for a few more minutes and no one came out, a fire burned the whole village.

Seeing that their homes were burned down, the people wept bitterly but did not dare to complain, and then they were driven to the beach like walking corpses.

At this time, it was close to dawn and it was the darkest time, considering that many people had night blindness, Liu Meng asked the people to line up, and the last person grabbed the clothes of the person in front of him.

Slowly all the way to the shore, they finally knew what was going on here when they saw the burning sailor battalion.

Then the crowd burst into cries of pain.

Wen Yi naturally knew why they were crying, so he said, "Let those living craftsmen go to their families." ”

He Fang hurriedly dissuaded: "Lord of the country, I know that you have benevolence, but the craftsmen have already boarded the ship, and it will take a lot of time to let them come down to find their families." ”

"The sky is about to dawn, and the Yan people may be killed at any time, so the minister thinks that he should get on the boat and go to the place first and then let them find their families."

Wen Yi also knew the seriousness of the matter, and thought for a while: "In this way, let some craftsmen go to the deck, tell the people that their families have boarded the ship, and let them reunite after they get off the ship." ”

"Yes."

Soon hundreds of craftsmen were brought to the deck, shouting to the people on the shore for their families.

Knowing that their family members might not be dead, the people didn't care to cry, and instead shouted their family's names to the boat.

For a while, the shouts came and went, and it was more lively than the vegetable market.

But the effect was very significant, and the craftsmen on the ship did not dare to make trouble when they learned that their family members had also been arrested.

Knowing that their families were not dead, the people stabilized and were driven aboard the ship.

"I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to stay here when I die."

An old man with a beard on the boat shouted, then turned around and jumped into the sea while the people around him were unprepared.

Wen Yi hurriedly asked people to save him, but when he fished it out, he was no longer breathing.

The people around him just looked at it, showed sad expressions, and then lowered their heads and continued to board the ship.

Looking at the old man's corpse, Wen Yi's heart was full of sadness.

Daniel Zhang, the commander of the guards, comforted: "The lord of the country, it is his own intention to jump into the sea, not your fault." ”

Wen Yi shook his head and said, "Don't comfort me, I know very well why." This damn era...... I have one more reason to end it. ”

Speaking of this, he patted Daniel Zhang's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about my fine, find a place to bury him." ”

After speaking, he didn't delay any longer, turned around and left in great strides.

When everyone was on board, the eastern sky began to turn red, the night faded, and the light came.

At the sound of an order, the fleet lifted anchor and headed for the direction of the rising sun.

Standing on the deck and looking at Bohai County, Wen Yi had only one thought in his heart.

Sooner or later one day I will come back again, as a host.

At that time, people will have a place to stay, and they will be free to choose to stay, instead of having to die to leave themselves in their homeland, as is the case now.

In the future, I must personally end this troubled world and restore peace to the world.

……

Somewhere far away on the shore, Mu Yugen rode on his horse and watched the fleet, his heart full of hatred.

Tang Guo, I remember you. Today's disgrace will be repaid tenfold and hundredfold in the day.

It wasn't until the fleet completely disappeared that he said in a cold voice, "Go." ”

After speaking, he turned his horse's head and left, followed by more than a thousand Yan soldiers.
