Chapter 65: New Life and the Past
The people of the Dongtian City, who had seen a big battle yesterday, quietly hid in their respective doors to see the situation outside, and the rioters had already dispersed at this moment.
Ye Yunyi watched the battlefield be cleaned before leaving, now he wants to clean up the mess of Dongtian, and the time must be as soon as possible, Zhao Ke, who fled before, kept mentioning that the Jin State has reached an agreement with the Yan State and sent troops to Qingyun City, and now the entire Chu State may be caught in a new war vortex again.
The second is the change of Qu Tianhong's organization, which is also where Ye Yunyi has been worried, it depends on whether the Chu State can resist internal and external pressure, if it is withheld, then no one can restrain the strength of the Chu State, if it fails, whether it is the change or the defense of foreign enemies, it will be death for the Chu State.
For the Chu State, the failure of the change is nothing more than a later demise, but once the Chu State can't hold it, then the Chu State will face a complete disappearance in the dust, these two things are what Ye Yunyi is most worried about at the moment, but now that he wants to make a move, it is also more than enough to do it.
If the matter of Xihai is not resolved, he will not be able to get out, and after this battle, the Dark Pavilion is really dead in name, and he, the Pavilion Master of the Dark Pavilion, may really be just a false name.
Fortunately, there is a Tianshu, and he is very good at all management things, which reduces a lot of burden.
Subsequently, Ye Yunyi set up a new town government in Dongtian City, and he personally sat in the town, and the first order he gave was to appease the people of Xihai, the reason why Xihai can be called Xihai is not just the existence of only one Dongtian City, but the six subordinate counties under the jurisdiction of Dongtiancheng, and Dongtiancheng is the core, it can be seen from the number of refugees before that Xihai is not small.
And the biggest problem is the problem of the people, the entire Xihai has lost the support of the people, and it is not an overnight thing to think of a change. The next day, Ye Yunyi issued a decree that he would not pursue the past, redivide the land, as long as he returned to this place, he would divide the land according to the population, and the newly reclaimed land, except for a part of the handover, would be owned by himself.
With the implementation of this decree, a large number of refugees who had been displaced returned to register on the throne, and Dongtian City began to have some fire, and the previously barren land was reclaimed.
Another important provision is to temporarily block the sea, not allowed to enter and exit, at this time, the Jin State may come down from the waterway at any time, directly from here to attack, although the Ming Sea provides a natural barrier for the West Sea at the same time, the Jin army from the waterway to attack, it is easy to have accidents, because the Jin State wants to come from the waterway, it is inevitable to experience a sea disaster zone, where there are often storms, and accidents are very likely to occur.
But passing by the Jin army ships that suddenly appeared before, it sounded a bell for Ye Yunyi, there is no absolutely safe barrier, and the blockade of the West Sea is also a last resort. In addition, although most of the pirates have been exterminated, there are still some remnants, which is also a big scourge for the stable development of the West Sea.
Although the refugees here have long since lost their kindness and simplicity in the dire situation, it is not hopeless. Therefore, in addition to the resumption of production accidents, Ye Yunyi's vigorous presiding over the education of the people is also being carried out. What advanced thoughts in Ye Yunyi's heart couldn't be said before, but in this land, Ye Yunyi found the "soil" for cultivation. When he was in Chudu before, many of the ideas put forward by Ye Yunyi were not very appropriate, because those things parted ways with the deep-rooted Confucianism, which was shocking to the world.
But in this place, the people are like a blank sheet of paper, and everything changes. Ye Yunyi personally took on the task of indoctrination, first selected a group of people with a little knowledge, Ye Yunyi personally taught, and then they taught more people.
Everything is in full swing, and the West Sea is radiating new vitality. And with the addition of 30,000 iron troops, all kinds of construction have also returned to their original places.
Ye Yunyi once thought about whether to put advanced military technology here, but after thinking about it for a long time, Ye Yunyi finally chose to give up, because history has its own laws of development, and he doesn't plan to completely use any knowledge to rewrite it now.
Once you bring what military technology you bring here, then the war can be very beneficial to you, but in the long run, other countries or other disputes, which of your own military technology will be quickly used, once both sides have mastered powerful military technology, the loss of the fight is not just a matter of numbers.
With the current productive forces alone, such an agrarian and civilized world, even if it develops wildly, the population cannot support the strong military attrition. So Ye Yunyi thought about it or forget it.
Three months later, Ye Yunyi climbed the rebuilt Dongcheng Tower, and looked up, the barren land before coming to the ground had now turned into a verdant rice field, and the people who were busy in the fields seemed to have forgotten the misery not long ago. Dense crowds of people are active in the fields, all expecting a good harvest this year.
Standing high up, the sea breeze blowing from the south, with a moist breath, swept across the clothes belt, blowing farther away, a vibrant appearance in front of me, this land that has experienced wind and rain, at this moment is growing new hope.
After these years of adjustment, Ye Yunyi has also recovered, and the reason why he came here today is not only to see the changes here, but also to see the changes here.
Under Ye Yunyi's city, there was already a team of four or five hundred people waiting quietly. It was the defenders trained by Han Shouyi before, after the battle in front of the General's Mansion, the 20,000 defenders were finally left with only about 500 people now, and they were still wearing the previous iron armor.
Later, after Ye Yunyi learned the news of Han Shouyi's death, he didn't say anything, but asked the rest of the people to recuperate, and brought them out today, just to let them see the new appearance of Xihaidong Heavenly City.
In this land where they were born and raised, it was he, Ye Yunyi and the Dark Pavilion, who saved this place, with the purpose of winning their hearts.
Ye Yunyi clearly understood that he and the Dark Pavilion did not belong here, and the people who really belonged here were these people under the city. I believe that it won't be long before he will go back with the Iron Army and the rest of the Dark Pavilion, there are still many places that the entire Chu State needs him to do, and it is impossible to stay in this place in the West Sea.
"Thank you Ye Shizi for everything you have done for us, we can't repay it, as long as Ye Shizi says a word, we will live and die together", after Ye Yunyi came down, a captain standing at the front of the defenders spoke.
This person is the previous Han Shouyi's pro-army, and he is also the highest-ranking officer among the surviving defenders, and at this moment, he is the defender representing the entire West Sea.
"Over the years, the imperial court has been ashamed of you, I will say 'I'm sorry' to you for this country, and now that Xihai has returned to its original track, I hope you can continue to protect him", Ye Yunyi said with some seriousness.
For the sake of this Xihai, almost all of his secret pavilions have been explained here, and it is false to say that it is not painful.
"No, Ye Shizi, you don't have to tell us I'm sorry, we can't afford the humble position, when I followed General Han, I kept listening to him tell the story of the Ye family, Marshal Ye Beijiang has great kindness to our General Han, and the son has the grace of reinvention to us, we should be grateful to the son, if there is no son, maybe we will really die." The words of Li Tong, the general of the defending army, revealed the hearts of all the brothers behind him.
"Thank you for your trust, today is the 100th day of General Han, and it is also the 100th day of my brothers, I am going to see them off for the last time, I know that you are all trained by General Han, let's go and send them together, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a good day to see them in the future."
After Ye Yunyi finished speaking, he took these defenders to the former general's mansion, and the traces of the fire before were still faintly visible, but at this moment this place has been converted into a cemetery, and the people of Dongtian City call this the general's tomb.
It was in this place that there were only more than 200 people left of the 20,000 defenders, and the elite of the 2,000 people in the dark pavilion led by Ye Yunyi only survived more than 100 people in the end, so it can be said that this place is their sad place.
After these years of improvement, the whole place has been built, countless stone monuments, and the most conspicuous middle general's mound, standing silently here, the tragic battle of the day, leaving only these silent names.
Ye Yunyi walked inside, holding a pot of good wine in his right hand, and walked to the middle place, Ji Zhe had been waiting here for a long time, and had prepared a lot of paper money in advance.
Ye Yunyi slowly poured the wine on the ground around him, lit up the paper money, and silently read the names on the stone tablets in his heart.
Then he walked to the most conspicuous tombstone, where Han Shouyi was buried. "General Han, I'm here to see you again, I'm useless, little nephew, I didn't get rid of Zhao Ke, this villain, don't worry, I believe I will meet him again soon, but I will definitely use his head to pay tribute to you."
Ye Yunyi burned the paper money while chattering. The remaining two hundred defenders poured wine for their comrades and began to clean up after themselves.
Although the current Xihaidong Heavenly City doesn't know who is buried here, there are still people who come to pay respects from time to time.
After that, Ye Yunyi carefully swept over the tombstones of the Dark Pavilion, but he didn't expect that in the years since he succeeded, so many tombstones in the Dark Pavilion have been added again, and his purpose has always been to let these people who sacrificed silently have a better future, but he didn't expect that if he stayed in this place, he would never go back.
"Pavilion master, I want to leave the graveyard of the brothers here forever and not move to the blade mound of our dark pavilion", Ji Zhe has been following behind Ye Yunyi, and only after seeing Ye Yunyi look at the tombstones one by one did he say his thoughts.
"Why?" Ye Yunyi asked.
"The brothers died in this place, and it's my reason," Ji Zhe explained the idea.
"Don't you know why the Dark Pavilion built the Blade Mound? It's because they are all nameless, no one knows their exploits, only we know that they have passed away, there are always people to commemorate them, and we will burn some paper money for them during the New Year's holidays, if they stay in this place, who will remember", Ye Yunyi asked angrily.
"Pavilion Master, we have three thousand dark blades to come to this place, but only a hundred or so people can go back, I am their exercise, I have no face to abandon them here, I want to stay in this place, to guard the grave for the brothers, moreover, they are sacrificed in this place, they should be respected by this place", you can rest assured, as long as there is a day when I am here, the incense of the brothers will not be broken for a day," Looking at Ji Zhe, who was almost pleading, Ye Yunyi was also very heartbroken, yes, these brothers were all brought by themselves.
