Chapter 157 The Grand Canal is the boundary
"The eldest and sister-in-law are both very amazing people, and it is all thanks to the sister-in-law that Daxiabao can have a good life today.
Everyone lives on the sister-in-law, and it is the duty of each of us to defend Daxia Castle.
At the beginning, if it wasn't for the boss who led us out of the encirclement, a few of us would have died under the knife of the Beimang people.
There will not be a good life now, I hope my father and mother can support my son's choice.
Another point is not to talk about the way the boss and sister-in-law get along.
They have been engaged to marry since childhood, and it is not easy to live in this world, not to mention that the boss regards his sister-in-law as his life.
He will not allow anyone to say a bad word about his sister-in-law. ”
Ma Weiyuan kindly talked to his family about the things in Daxia Castle, hoping that they would not touch the boss's bottom line.
Without the strong background of the sister-in-law, they would not be able to live a good life now.
"Alas, the grace of receiving a drop of water will surely be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention the grace of saving lives.
Yuan'er doesn't have to worry about family affairs, and from then on, our family is an ordinary farmer's home.
Remember to come back more often when you have time, and don't be away from home for a few years like before. ”
Ma Tianqi quickly understood the meaning of his son's words, although the family has suffered many hardships, they have not forgotten their duty to be a human being.
"Daddy, don't worry, I'll go home often!"
To have the support of his family is a great joy for Ma Weiyuan.
The family gets along happily, and Ma Weiyuan, who has no worries, is more motivated, and is bound to earn more performance and give his family the best life.
…
The people who stayed in Kan'er Village had no worries and were full of energy.
The cold winter is long and difficult for the refugees outside.
For the people of Kar'er Village, it is warm and tiring.
Those who rested for two days joined the basic training, along with the original people in Kar'er Village.
The movement of Qi Qi training is not small in this mountain.
The sound of neat shouts often shook the snow on the distant mountains.
Some of the refugees who had come to the trail could hear the roar inside through the two walls on the mountain road, and they were so frightened that they turned around and ran.
The timid people completely regard the village of Kan'er as a den of bandits, and ordinary refugees really dare not take refuge.
For fear that after entering the bandits' den, he will become meat on someone else's chopping board, and that is really dead and blind.
Some of the brave people simply built shacks outside the walls and waited for the people inside to come out before taking refuge.
The orderly life of Daxia Castle begins a new chapter from here.
The people outside, but they are still in the heat of the water.
…
The new capital city, Baili Province.
A large number of refugees gathered outside the city, and in the days when there was no food, selling children and daughters became the norm.
What's more, there are countless missing children, and they hear terrible cries every day.
Bodies are dragged out of the camps every day, and those that are dragged out have become red meat in the mouths of some people in the blink of an eye.
The gates of Bailifu were heavily guarded, only a small gate was opened, and soldiers armed with swords and guns did not allow any refugees to approach.
Those who want to enter the city, in addition to verifying their identity, must also have three people as a guarantee, and pay five taels of silver to enter the city at the same time.
This move has kept most of the refugees out of the city and cut off their route to the south.
The only shortcut is to join the army, and those who flee here from their hometowns will not be able to escape the way to fill the army for a bite to eat.
People who want to find a way to survive keep their eyes on the surrounding villages and towns, and fights happen from time to time.
Some unsuspecting villages were wiped out by the refugee groups and became villages where refugees gathered, causing a miasma of smoke and misery for a while.
…
After the winter, the Beimang people, who laid a large area of land in the north, established the northern country north of the Grand Canal, and set the capital of Yundu.
In the first year of the country's name, Emperor Xiao Yuanliang called himself the Northern Emperor.
Since then, the three provinces north of the Grand Canal have all changed their surnames to Xiao, and they have been divided and ruled by the Baiyun State.
The ambitious Xiao Yuanliang, after laying down a large piece of land, did not plan to let go of Baiyun Kingdom.
In his eyes, it was only a matter of time before the capture of the White Cloud Kingdom was captured, and some accounts had to be settled in person.
The treasury is empty, and the Baiyun Kingdom has no one to use, just a lamb to the slaughter.
A temporary truce, just for better plunder.
…
Xiao Yuanliang, who was very ambitious, drove his own expedition, and at the junction of Yundu and Beihu City, he set up a heavy army formation and approached Baili Mansion.
In front of the formation, there were captured Baiyun people, driven by swords and guns, kneeling and crying for mercy.
Baili Province.
On the Jinluan Palace, which is not cold at all, the middle-aged but already aged Emperor Tianqing convened all the ministers to discuss.
"Everyone, Aiqing, the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom are coming to Beihu City, what are the best strategies for you to discuss quickly!"
Emperor Tianqing, who was physically and mentally exhausted, had long lost his original ambition, and looked at the noisy ministers below tiredly.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not find a single person available.
fought in the court every day, but he couldn't come up with a practical solution, and Emperor Tianqing was exhausted.
The prime minister, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes, glanced at a circle of officials who were arguing with red faces, and came out of the ranks.
"My emperor is the chosen one, and for the foundation of protecting the country, he will make an armistice and negotiate a plan for the future."
"The minister seconded the proposal!" The Ministry of Officials was the first to come out to support the Prime Minister.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
……
Ninety percent of the ministers who have just won the battle to support the prime minister.
The remaining adults are weak and can only succumb to the current situation.
Just because of the generals who went out to fight, none of them could come back alive.
The defeated generals will inevitably bring disaster to their families, and who dares to take the initiative to go on the expedition.
…
There was a harmony of the Lord in the court, and Emperor Tianqing pushed the boat down the river to respond to the matter of the Lord and the Lord.
On the same day, Emperor Tianqing sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the northern kingdom.
After a long talk, Baiyun signed a series of unequal treaties.
Compensation of 5 million taels of silver to the northern country, 10,000 quintals of rice per year, and the opening of the two countries' customs and mutual exchange of treaties.
The year is approaching, Emperor Tianqing issued an edict to pass the throne to the fifteen-year-old prince, the first year of the country name Antai.
Emperor Tianqing, who had been a puppet all his life, has since withdrawn from the sight of the White Cloud Kingdom and has disappeared.
…
Because of the unequal treaty signed by the Lord and He, it has made matters worse for the devastated Baiyun Kingdom.
The newly appointed Emperor Antai, the buttocks on the dragon chair have not yet been hot, and the first thing the ministers discuss in the court is to establish the queen.
Widely accept the harem, and its beautiful name is called the royal branching.
"Everyone, Aiqing, today is when the treasury is empty, and I can't afford to expand the harem."
Emperor Antai, who was sitting on the dragon chair, spread his hands impatiently, looking at the ministers with red faces, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The prime minister, who claimed to be old and wanted to recuperate at home, was invited into the palace by Emperor Antai three times in succession, and Teen Xu sat in the first chair and was waited by a small eunuch full-time.
The prime minister who closed his eyes and stroked his beard, looked like a master in the world, shaking his head and being contented.
