Chapter 97: The Orphan of the Zhao Family
The right protector did not dodge, but half-crouched with his sword in his hand, ready to jump onto the carriage.
However, the carriage stopped three meters away.
Chen Mu opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?" What is your enmity with me? ”
The right protector pointed at Chen Mu with his sword, "What kind of enmity does my Zhao family have with you?" Why did you kill my father and my second uncle? ”
Chen Mu frowned, "Are you talking about the rebellion of the private soldiers of the Zhang and Zhao families?" They have gathered their private soldiers to kill me, and I can't kill them? ”
The right protector was even more angry, "You forced us!" It's you who constantly suppress the big family and don't give us a way to live! You keep collecting money yourself, and my Zhao family just made a little money, so you fabricated charges and copied our Zhao family! ”
Chen Mudu laughed angrily, "Hehe, you are really reversing black and white!" I amass wealth to enrich the treasury and build the country! ”
"And your Zhao family, when the residents on both sides of the river were affected, they collaborated with the county order to eat empty salaries and deduct materials, which is difficult to make a fortune for the country and must be severely punished!"
"You are now robbing disaster relief food, it is treason, and the Nine Clans should be exterminated!"
The right protector pointed at Chen Mu and took two breaths.
"Chen Mu, if you are a man, don't hide behind the guards and talk! Do you dare to go head-to-head with me? ”
Chen Mu smiled slightly, "Why don't you dare?" ”
The guards next to him hurriedly stopped.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't help it!"
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have a golden body, why do you have to be like a thief?"
Chen Mu waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm just playing with him." ”
In the few encounters just now, Chen Mu has already figured out the opponent's catties and twos, and he is confident that he will win.
Seeing Chen Mu jumping out of the carriage, the right protector had a fighting spirit in his eyes again, and he raised his sword and rushed towards Chen Mu.
Chen Mu threw the scabbard in his hand, swung the sword forward with both hands, and slashed at the sword of the right protector.
Chen Mu glared at the right protector, and the right protector glared at Chen Mu. The two competed in strength, but Chen Mu was better and forced the right protector to retreat.
The right protector took half a step back, stepped forward again, and swept his long sword sideways, making a gesture to cut Chen Mu into two pieces.
Chen Mu took a step towards the right, then raised his long sword, used the sword as a sword, and slashed towards the sword of the right protector.
The two swords clashed, and the sword of the right protector was pressed to the ground by Chen Mu, and then Chen Mu flew up with a kick and swept it in the face of the right protector.
The right protector was kicked more than a meter away by this kick, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Chen Mu took a step forward, and the long sword was pointed directly at the throat of the right protector.
The Right Protector shouted hysterically: "If you kill me, sooner or later, the Yin Tang Organization will overthrow Great Xia!" ”
Chen Mu said lightly: "Of course I will kill you, but with my help, Great Xia will only last a long time." ”
After speaking, Chen Mu raised the sword in his hand, and the right protector fell to the ground and died.
On the other side, the battle between the guards and the Yin Tang organization also ended, and the people of the Yin Tang organization left dozens of corpses behind and fled on horseback.
The guards did not chase after them, but returned to Chen Mu's side.
Chen Mu ordered to treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and then led people to drive the carriage to Qingqu County, the easternmost county seat in the Dongyuan region.
This county has a lot of fate with Chen Mu, Chen Mu has been here many times, and the former Qingqu County catcher has also become the commander of the prince's mansion and the commander of the secret guard.
Due to the effective water control in the upper reaches, there was no flood situation in Qingqu County, so Chen Mu arranged for people to distribute rice from the northeast, and after another inspection, he was ready to go back.
On the way back, in addition to distributing Northeast rice along the way, there is another important thing, which is epidemic prevention.
Chen Mu knew in the history books that after the catastrophe, there would be a pandemic.
That's because the viruses and bacteria in the water, with the flood spread over the land. There are also dead bodies all over the mountains, which are all sources of pollution.
Moreover, people in the disaster area do not have enough food and clothing, their resistance is reduced, and they are more susceptible to infection.
Although not so many people died in the disaster in Great Xia, they also received enough food, clothing, and tents. But still not to be taken lightly.
Starting from Qingqu County, Chen Mu promoted epidemic prevention knowledge all the way, telling everyone to pay attention to hygiene, not to eat wild animals, and not to drink water from unknown water sources. Try to eat the food distributed by the government and drink well water.
Along the way, Chen Mu also left a lot of rice in the northeast to grow grain, so that people can plant in the paddy fields obtained after the flood discharge.
When Chen Mu returned to the capital, the wanted fugitives had already been caught, the people of the Zhang and Zhao families were exterminated by the nine clans, and the county commanders and others who escaped from the battle were also punished.
Although there were many old people and children in the Zhang and Zhao families, Chen Mu did not feel sorry for them.
They may be innocent, but keeping these people will only create more Right Protectors and endanger the lives of more innocent people.
Aren't the guards, grain carriers, and coachmen who died in battle innocent?
In this era, this kind of rebellion can only be prevented by exterminating the Nine Clans.
If we want to make this era more civilized, we can only continue to accelerate the advancement of productive forces.
After the disaster relief, there was still a lot more rice in the northeast, some of which was stored as national grain reserves, and the other part was used to make wine.
The winery remained a state-run unit and continued to collect money for the treasury of Bactria .
Soon it was winter, and the people of Daxia ate the mutton paid tribute by the Xiongnu, the peppers paid tribute by Persia, and drank the rice wine brewed from the rice of the Northeast, and their lives were very warm.
Chen Mu is also eating hot pot with his two wives at home.
Mei Linger sandwiched a piece of mutton and put it in Chen Mu's bowl, "Husband, you taste this, the mutton of the grassland is delicious." ”
"Well, I'll taste it."
Chen Mu picked up the mutton and dipped it in the seasoning, put it in his mouth and chewed it, it was really delicious. The mutton and seasonings are natural and pollution-free, and the smell is blended with the spicy and salty flavors, and you want to eat it again after eating.
Liu Susu said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the husband that he has conquered so many subject countries, and Daxia can eat these delicacies." ”
Chen Mu nodded, "Those subject countries have also benefited, and the Rakshasa country now has cotton clothes and eaten chili peppers, which is much colder than ours." ”
A few people were chatting, and Li Biao came in.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor has an order, please enter the palace to discuss matters, saying that there is a promotion to the military."
Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, "Who else dares to attack Great Xia now?" ”
Dongyue in the southeast has been incorporated into Bactria and the Rakshasas, Donghu and Xiongnu in the north, and Nanban and Persia in the south have all become vassals of Bactria .
To the west are plateaus and deserts, both of which are large areas of uninhabited land.
Where did the military intelligence come from?
Chen Mu put down his chopsticks and hurried to the palace.
Seeing Chen Xingtian, Chen Mu saluted and asked, "Father, where is the military situation?" ”
Chen Xingtian pointed to the messenger on the side and said, "Persia asks for help." ”
Chen Mu turned his head and saw that he still knew this person, who was an instructor in Persia and was in charge of supervising the country in Persia.
At the beginning, Chen Mu fought against Persia only halfway, and then randomly found a Persian who could speak Bactrian to be the king and established a new regime.
