Nanming Mansion:

"Lord Admiral, the granary has counted all the grain, and the government has purchased all the grain on the market in Nanming Mansion at the current price, and the merchants who dare to take the opportunity to raise prices have taken all of them!"

The envoy respectfully reported the situation to the tall admiral in the palace hall.

Theoretically speaking, the local administration, the political envoy himself, is at the same level as the commander, one is in charge of the government and the other is in charge of the army, but now the generals are strong, and the officials who are not from the background of warlocks really can't raise the slightest confidence in front of these bloodline martial artists.

"Good!" Admiral Zhou Hanyang, who didn't even have time to unload his stomach, nodded, and kept pouring tea into his mouth, obviously his lack of water was quite serious due to the huge physical exertion.

"You don't have to worry about ......it," Zhou Hanyang drank water and said: "No matter what background those grain merchants have, even if they are from the four major commercial houses, as long as they dare to raise prices at this time, they will all be detained, and if they dare to resist, they will be killed!" ”

"Yes......" The political envoy said with a wry smile: "Those who dare to make a fortune in the country will not be tolerated by this official." ”

At this time, the lives of the whole city depend on the person in front of them, and naturally he is what he says.

"General, do you know where the monster outside the city came from?" The political envoy asked cautiously.

"How do I know?" Zhou Hanyang glanced at him, feeling bored.

These living corpses that suddenly appeared are actually not powerful, in addition to being fearless of death, they are more powerful than ordinary people, their movements are stiff, and they don't know how to use weapons, in front of the heavily armed elite, they are actually not enough.

If in the open terrain, as long as there are a few hundred elite cavalry, the command is scattered, and then the archers and spearmen are divided, it is often possible to achieve one enemy and ten with very few casualties.

But the number of these ghosts is too much, it seems to be endless, at the beginning there were only tens of thousands of people who went ashore, and after he led the army to kill it cleanly, there was another wave, and the number of waves became more and more, as of last night, when it was close to Chen, the last wave was at least more than 100,000 in number, densely rolled out of the waves, like the waves of living corpses!

There are more than 50,000 regular sailors stationed in Nanming Mansion, but most of them are miscellaneous soldiers in sea ships, and the elite who can really fight is actually only 20,000, but the number of living corpses killed in these two nights is afraid that it will not start at 300,000?

Even killing 300,000 pigs at this time also made many soldiers tired enough, and it was inevitable that there would be many casualties one after another.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hanyang's heart became more and more irritable, the last wave of living corpses yesterday was actually not killed, and when it was close to dawn, those living corpses seemed to be deliberately avoiding the sun, and they ran back into the water one after another, and their own soldiers naturally would not rush into the water to kill the enemy.

He knew that if these ghosts went to the surrounding Qu County along the water, they would be in trouble!

But now that there is a shortage of personnel, and if you have to divide your troops to defend the county seat or even the countryside, the enemy's numerical superiority will be brought into full play.

Not to mention that in the river, maybe a lot of new ones will emerge at night......

Just as he was thinking, a few people hurriedly walked in at the gate of the government office, and the political envoy hurriedly greeted them after seeing the comer.

It is the most reliable academic and political master who makes him feel the most: Mu Hongqing.

"Listen to the students below, General, you didn't wipe out all those monsters today, but let them go back into the water?" Mu Hongqing was not polite as soon as he came in, so he asked directly.

Hearing this, Zhou Hanyang was unhappy for a while, but he still didn't get angry in the end, after all, this guy in front of him was not an ordinary civil official, but a warlock at the academic and political level, and in the face of these weird demons, he had to admit that warlocks would play a major role many times.

So he nodded and said patiently: "There are too many living corpses, and they are highly poisonous, but if they are scratched and bitten, the soldiers will lose their combat ability on the second day, if they go into the water to pursue, the soldiers' armor will become a burden, but if you take off your armor and go into the water, the probability of injury is extremely great, and now the troops are insufficient, and if you want to lose like this, I am afraid that the situation is unfavorable!" ”

Mu Hongqing nodded when he heard this: "I know the general's difficulties, but if you let those living corpses escape from the water, they will definitely spread to the surrounding counties, cities and villages, and ordinary people will be slaughtered!" ”

"How could I not know?" Zhou Hanyang said irritably: "But what about Admiral Ben? Now the fog is weird, I don't know how many living corpses there are, maybe there will be more at night, at this time, it would be good to be able to hold Nanming Mansion, how dare you divide your troops to go to the districts and counties? ”

"Do you want to think about it...... Solid wall clearing? ”

"Kiyono Fortified?" Zhou Hanyang looked at the other party: "You mean..... Drive everyone to Nanming Mansion? ”

Mu Hongqing nodded: "The district and county have no ability to protect themselves, those monsters don't look like they eat food, and they shouldn't spoil the crops, and I have also carefully observed that the living corpses seem to be very afraid of the sun, and their activities during the day are extremely limited, either hiding in the river, or gathering and hiding in a layer of black fog that has somehow formed, which is far less lethal than at night." ”

"We can take advantage of the daytime to go to the surrounding districts and counties to move people to Nanming Mansion as much as possible, if we encounter these living corpses on the way, it will be easier to deal with them when their activities are restricted during the day, what does the general think?"

"The people have entered the city, and the food pressure is not small!" Mu Hong said quietly: "Now that the river transportation has been cut off and the food is tight, if you drive the people to the Nanming Mansion again, how can you care about so many mouths?" ”

When he said this, the apprentice next to Mu Hongqing couldn't help frowning: "This year is a bumper harvest, and the people in the countryside should have surplus grain, right?" They bring their own food, so how can they lack food? ”

Zhou Hanyang glanced at the apprentice coldly but didn't respond, the apprentice was puzzled, but Mu Hongqing's face was extremely ugly, and he instantly understood the other party's plan!

Nanming Mansion has a large population, the grain on weekdays is transported by the river, and the surrounding districts and counties are impossible to afford, and now the grain and grass in the city are tight, and the river transportation is not passable, where does the grain come from for a long time?

Looking at the meaning of the other party, it is obvious that he does not intend to control the life and death of the people in the district and county, after all, these living corpses only eat people, but they do not eat food.

If the living corpse eats the people around it, won't there be more food? When the time comes, send the army directly to the countryside to search for food!

"My lord is really ruthless!" Mu Hongqing said word by word.

"Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!" Zhou Hanyang's voice was also cold: "No, what do my subordinates eat?" What do the people in Liuzhou eat? Caring about everything is dying together, at a critical moment, you can survive by cutting off your tail, such a simple truth, does the master of Xuezheng want a certain martial artist to teach you? ”

A few apprentices obviously understood, and their faces turned pale in an instant, but they didn't make a sound to refute it, obviously, as a beneficiary, even if they are psychologically uncomfortable, they have to be crooked when their butts should be crooked!

Mu Hongqing looked at the other party coldly for a long time, and was about to say more, when suddenly the official at the gate of the mansion ran in in a hurry.

"Why are you so flustered?" The political envoy, who couldn't interject for a long time, was immediately angry and reprimanded.

"My lord, crazy, crazy!"

"You're crazy!" The political envoy was so angry that the five Buddhas ascended to heaven.

"It's not..... Your Excellency......" The official stammered, "It's those soldiers, those soldiers are crazy!" ”

"What did you say?" Zhou Hanyang's eyes widened, and he strode over, lifting people up like a kitten: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Small...... The little ones don't know....... the officer cried: "Those wounded soldiers have been going crazy and biting people since last night, and when we went to count the wounded this morning, we saw that many people were bitten to death, and many doctors were also bitten to death, so miserable!" ”

"This ......" Zhou Hanyang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart when he heard this, and rushed out.....

And behind him, Mu Hongqing, who was watching the other party's figure leave quickly, was also a little dazed, and after a long time, he came back to his senses and suddenly muttered: "Oh no, ......"

Based on his years of experience in contact with demons, he instantly judged that the crazy soldiers in the mouth of the official were probably those who were injured and carried into the city..... I'm afraid it's the same as that insect demon, it can assimilate and infect others, and it's extremely efficient!

As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly walked out of the mansion, and suddenly felt troublesome in his heart.

If this corpse poison can be contagious, I'm afraid it's troublesome, no one paid attention to the city last night, I'm afraid it's poisonous..... It's already spreading!

-----------------------------------------

"My lord, the soldiers have been allocated, and there are a total of 1,539 new recruits, all of whom are willing to go to the countryside to save people, but it seems that they all want to go to their hometowns to save people first!"

"Don't ......" Chen Qing shook his head: "It's easy to command confusion when you go to your hometown, you must stagger it, and the task of rescuing your relatives is limited, but you can't save it yourself!" ”

Wei Gongcheng smiled when he heard this, this Master Chen was born as a scholar, but he had a lot of experience in leading soldiers.

"Bring out the enlisted soldiers and line up 500 soldiers and fill them at the south gate!"

These words made Wei Gongcheng frown slightly, he was in favor of the remaining soldiers, but did he only guard the south gate?

"My lord, don't you care about the other doors?"

Chen Qing shook his head: "Liuzhou is backed by Nanshan, but the east and north gates lead to the avenue, and there is ...... It's fine for now! ”

The east gate leads to the boundary of Nanming Mansion and the north gate leads to the boundary of Nanyang, all of which are big cities, divided by seven continents in the south of the Yangtze River, and blocked by their own magic arrays, and those living corpses in the early stage will not run over in the next area, if you want to say that those living corpses will detour yesterday, he doesn't believe it, although the leader of the living corpses has some IQ, but it is only some, far from the level of normal people.

Now the priority is to improve the quality of the door gods.

Yesterday night, many people have seen the power of the door god with their own eyes, and believe that the soldiers who become the guards of the city gate will soon be transformed into loyal believers, according to the rules, the faithful believers can accept the blessing of the door god, and with a little training, they can become low-level doormen, and a thousand low-level doormen can make the wind wolf promote to the yellow level nine ranks, and be included in the ranks!

When the time comes, facing the next wave of living corpses, Chen Qing will have a lot of confidence.

Therefore, this time we went out to search and rescue, and as many people as possible should be moved in, especially young and strong!

While watching Chen Qing and Wei Gongcheng continue to discuss the search and rescue route, Shen Lao Er on the side looked to the north with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Because of the existence of the Shen family in Nanyang, there are not many troops stationed in the imperial court, and the current situation is even worse than that of Liuzhou!

The sixth has always been wise, and now we can only hope that he can control this terrible situation.......
