Volume 17 Wine Boiling Chapter 1872 The crisis is clear
Autumn, the harvest season. All the farm staff are ready for harvest. In fact, they have been waiting for this day for a long time, from the time when the ears of rice were just beginning to bud, until today, they have finally waited.
Holding a sickle in his hand and cutting the golden ears of rice himself, the satisfaction of the harvest is really not something that can be possessed by eating a meal and drinking wine. It was the result of more than half a year of hard work, and it was a gift from nature to human beings.
"Don't you feel happy to see them so happy?" Ouyang Hanbing has been by Hu Wei's side from morning to now. All day, they were here watching the yard keepers harvest.
"It's very tiring to look at them, but it's very happy, it's good. Hu Wei said contentedly. In the past few years, he has seen more of the kind of crying without tears on the faces of ordinary people, this kind of heartfelt laughter, which he has not seen for a long time.
"yes, that's nice. It would be nice if they could all be so good in the future. Ouyang Hanbing said with emotion. Her birth made her never suffer since she was a child, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know the suffering of ordinary people. Especially after following Hu Wei's side, she knows more about the lives of ordinary people.
"yes, that's what they wanted. Hu Wei sighed and said. If it goes on like this, naturally everyone wants to, but there are people who don't want to let them go on like this, according to the information that Hou San just sent back, at least three forces are approaching Dragon City. You don't need to guess too much about what they're here for.
If you don't plant yourself, wait for others to have a harvest and rob others, this is also a way of life, in the Tianfeng Continent, there are not only such people, but also a lot. Based on Hu Wei's experience, you can almost guess when they will do it. Those people will definitely not do it now, since it is a robbery, it is natural to wait for the harvest of the rice ears to be ready-made. They're definitely not stupid enough to grab a piece of land and harvest it themselves.
The fieldmates, who were happily harvesting the grain, did not know that another huge crisis was looming over them. And Hu Wei can't be unaware. It has been said that the more people know, the more unhappy they are. For this, Hu Wei can be said to be the most experienced. He just knows so much that he can't be happy. With so many things in your head, how can you be truly happy.
"Let's go back. After looking at it for a while, Hu Wei said reluctantly. Today's leisure is because he has given himself a day off, and from tomorrow onwards, he will be busy and devote himself to dealing with the dangers that are coming.
"Hmm. Ouyang Hanbing nodded. But he didn't move right away. She also wanted to see the harvest again. Tomorrow Hu Wei will start to be busy, and she will not come again, and the next time she wants to see it again, I am afraid that she will have to wait a year.
Hu Wei saw that Ouyang Hanbing didn't move, and he didn't move. Before, he never knew that he would like to see such a scene, and in his world, this kind of thing was already all about chance, and it was cold to watch. I don't have any feelings with Ben, let alone any feelings. And now, giving birth to an ear of rice is so close to human beings, it can really be said that it is flesh and blood.
"Young marshal. Hou San is back. β
"Well, let him in. Hu Wei put down the pen in his hand and said to Zhu Daneng. This is Hu Wei's study, and before Zhu Daneng came in, Hu Wei was studying the geography around Dragon City. Although he was already familiar with these for a long time, he still habitually wanted to watch them for a while when he had free time. Because judging from the current shape shì. It's going to be war again.
"Young marshal. Hou San obviously came back from a distant place, and the black ash on his face was almost impossible to see his original face, and his whole head, except for his teeth, was gray everywhere.
"Sit, drink saliva first, and let me speak slowly. Although Hu Wei was very anxious to know the current situation from Hou San, even if he was in a hurry, he couldn't be in a hurry for this minute.
"No, I've already drunk it. Hou San shook his head. Just now, when Zhu Daneng went in to inform Hu Wei, he ran to the well and poured himself a large pot of water. Autumn is the season of harvest, and it is also the season that can heat people to death, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry at most, and if you don't have water to drink for a while, that person can directly dry into dried meat.
"Then wash your face first. Hu Wei smiled: "Looking at you like that, I almost don't recognize who you are." β
Zhu Daneng smiled when he heard this: "That's it, let's wash our faces first, but we don't know who we're talking to." β
Hou San knew that Hu Wei asked him to wash his face not because he was dirty, but because he wanted him to take a break as effectively as possible in the limited time. This was Hu Wei's kindness, and Hou San didn't say anything more. After washing his face at the well and coming back, Hou San felt much better when he looked at it.
"Okay, sit down and talk about it, first tell me how the environment is outside, how is the life of the common people. "Hu Wei can only protect the life of Dragon City now, which is relatively normal, and in other places, he has the heart but is powerless. The Tianfeng Continent is really too big, there are too many people, and his ability to be alone is limited, even if he fights for his life, it is impossible to take care of it all.
Managing this land well is not something that can be done by one person. No matter how strong a person is, he can only take care of the things in front of him, and only a healthy country can do all kinds of things.
Rijkaard wanted to build such a country before, and Hu Wei was absorbed by Rijkaard's ideas and joined. But now Rijkaard is getting farther and farther away from his own philosophy, and all the things that need to be dealt with by him have been handed over to Tang Hun, and Hu Wei has not seen him for many days.
Yes, the current Rijkaard has indeed grown taller, and he is no longer like a seven- or eight-year-old child, but Hu Wei doesn't like the current Rijkaard, if he can choose, Hu Wei would rather Rijkaard never grow taller, because the seven- or eight-year-old Rijkaard is still in charge, unlike the current Rijkaard who doesn't pay attention to anything. Is there any point in growing up like this?
In the past, in Hu Wei's eyes, Longcheng was a piece of fat. And now, in the eyes of other forces, Dragon City is also a piece of fat. The Tianfeng Continent is still in troubled times, and it is very easy to pull up a team in the troubled times, and there are almost no difficulties. As long as you can get food, there are people who are willing to help you with your efforts.
If there is food, there will be soldiers, if there are soldiers, there will be territory, and if there is territory, there will be power. According to Dongfang Hanyi, there are still many places with grain, but for many people, the place with grain is right in front of them, and that is Dragon City.
"The situation everywhere is not very good. In the past year, although the war has decreased a lot, there are very few places where we can really calm down and develop the value of planting, and food is still a scarce resource ......"
Hou San was trying to explain what he had seen and heard along the way in relatively simple language, and tried to let Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng understand the current situation in the Tianfeng Continent more clearly.
"I went home to the places that the Oriental girl said, those places are indeed relatively stable as she said, and the economic conditions are not bad, but those places are all far away from the center of the mainland, and the transportation is inconvenient. It is very difficult to transport their resources to the Central Plains, and it can almost be said that it does not mean much to us. And we're ...... in Dragon City."
Speaking of this, Hou San paused. After taking a sip of water, he continued: "Our Dragon City has now become fat in the eyes of others, and there are five forces that are moving towards us......
"Didn't you say that there are only three strands?" Zhu Daneng couldn't help but interrupt.
Hou San shook his head and said, "That was before. Now it's five strands. It's relatively large, and I can't really count how many of them are small. In short, our Dragon City is in danger right now. We have to be prepared as early as possible, otherwise we will be very passive. β
Finally finished saying all the things he had to say, and Hou San let out a long breath. He is very clear about Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng's abilities, and knows that as long as they are given enough time to prepare, they can cope with almost all difficulties.
"What's wrong, is there anything wrong?" Hou San raised his head after a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but ask when he saw that Zhu Daneng and Hu Wei's faces were all weird.
Zhu Daneng glanced at Hu Wei and said to Hou San: "Now we can only put forward a little personal opinion on the issue of defense, and we are not the ones who really make the decision." So what he just said, I'll have to say it again later. β
"Oh, is it to Sue SΓΉ Rijkaard, that's no problem, I'll tell him again. "For nearly a year, Hou San has been running outside. He is more familiar with the situation outside, but on the other hand, he is not so clear about the situation in Dragon City.
Zhu Daneng shook his head and said, "It's not Rijkaard, it's Tang Hun." β
"Tang Hun?" Hou San was stunned for a while when he heard this name, how long has it been since he was in Dragon City, what is the reason why this Dragon City is going to change the sky. When will it be Tang Hun's turn to talk.
Zhu Daneng smiled bitterly: "You heard it right, it is indeed Tang Hun." You'll find out later. β
Tang Hun is now Rijkaard's plenipotentiary representative, this Taiping Empire is Rijkaard's, and military affairs are naturally under Rijkaard's management, and now Rijkaard has put the power in his hands into Tang Hun's hands, and this military matter will naturally go to Tang Hun's hands. In other words, Tang Hun has the final say in the defense of Dragon City now, not Hu You.
"How can there be such a fuck thing, what is this guy Rijkaard doing, actually let Tang Hun take care of things, what is that young marshal?"
Hou San scolded directly after listening to Zhu Daneng's explanation. He also knows the same about Tang Hun, with Tang Hun's personal ability, not to mention comparing with Hu You, even if he is compared with him, it is not a little worse, now there is Hu Hu in Longcheng, Qin Ming, Sophia and even Zhu Daneng, so experienced and capable people don't need it, but put the military work in the hands of Tang Hun, a Mao boy who has never commanded a large-scale war, what is it.
Zhu Daneng smiled bitterly: "I also think it's very fucked, but that's the truth." Now most of the things in Dragon City are all Tang Hun has the final say, and our words don't work with the original. β
Hou San was angry for a while before he calmed down and said, "Could it be that the young marshal just let such a thing happen and do nothing?"
Zhu Daneng asked, "In your opinion, what can the young marshal do now." This is the Taiping Empire, not our Han and Tang Empires. To put it bluntly, we're just a long-term worker hired by Rijkaard, who can tell us to get out of here at any time, and we can't afford to be here and not leave. β
"I ......" Hou San opened his mouth to scold, but he still held back when the words came to his mouth. In the current situation, scolding and Ben will not solve any problems. Scolding can only be done to get out of the heart, and nothing else can be done.
Calming himself down again, Hou San asked, "Then can we rebuild our Han and Tang empires." Although the brothers are everywhere now, as long as they hear the young marshal's orders, I believe they will definitely return to the young marshal's side. At that time, we will do whatever we want. I don't have to pay attention to what Rijkaard, what Tang Hun, that's about our birds. β
"Easy to say. Zhu Daneng glanced at Hou San and said, "You think it's so easy to form an empire." Let's not say that we don't even have a piece of land now, even if the brothers are willing to come back, don't they have anything to eat or drink, what do you give them to eat and drink? Also, we have worked hard in Dragon City for so long, can we just hand over the fruits to others? We're leaving, what about the people of Dragon City, they just saw some hope, can you guarantee that after we leave. Will Tang Hun continue to carry out the young marshal's plan?"
Hou San was speechless when asked by Zhu Daneng. He is engaged in intelligence work, and intelligence work can be said to be very complicated, but it also has his simplicity. To engage in intelligence, you only need to check the information, and you don't need to worry about anything else. Especially the kind of internal thing where you play me and I play you, seriously. Hou San really can't learn that.
"Then what do we do now?" asked Hou San stupidly for a long time.
Zhu Daneng sighed and said, "Let's look at it first, no matter what Tang Hun says, he can be regarded as half of Qin Ming's apprentice, I hope he won't do so many stupid things." There is also the hope that Rijkaard will do his best to recover, as long as he returns to the way he was before, then it will be easy to do. β
"Defend the Six David Cities?" Hu Wei frowned when he heard Tang Hun's suggestion: "With the military strength in our hands now, it should be a combined force, the more concentrated the better, once the troops are dispersed, it is easy for the enemy to break through." β
Tang Hun finally thought of the method of deploying troops, but as soon as he said it, he was opposed by Hu Wei, and he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "The Six David Cities have always been the barrier of the Dragon City, and they have been deployed like this for many years, and as far as I know, even you have been deployed like this many times, why are you right when you do this, and you have to oppose it when it comes to me?"
Zhu Daneng didn't wait for Hu Wei to open his mouth and slapped the table and said, "Tang Hun, what do you mean by this, do you want to say that the young marshal intends to target you." When the young marshal was fighting, you were still breastfeeding, do you know what war is?"
In the past few days, Zhu Daneng has had to understand Tang Hun's stinky mouth that he doesn't know how to pretend to understand every day, he endured it, but finally he still didn't hold back, and broke out directly.
Tang Hun looked at Zhu Daneng coldly, and it wasn't until Zhu Daneng finished speaking that he said, "According to what you mean, there's nothing to talk about." Since you think I'm not qualified to talk about war, then I'm not going to say it. Guys, you'll do it yourself, I don't understand it here anyway, and I won't, and there's no point in staying. οΌβ
Tang Hun said that he was about to walk out when he stood up, and looking at his appearance, he was really going to leave.
"Stop. A voice that was colder than Tang Hun sounded, and said coldly: "If you dare to leave like this, I don't guarantee that you will still see the sun tomorrow." β
The person who said this was Qin Ming, during this time, Qin Ming was bound to come to the meeting, but he had never said a word, he had participated in any discussions, and those who didn't know thought he was good-looking, this time, he finally spoke.
Qin Ming's words made Tang Hun's face turn red and white, he could not believe the words of others, but when Qin Ming said it, he really didn't dare to be careless. What kind of person is Qin Ming, his nickname is Blood Shura, killing someone is not much different from pinching an ant to death, before Hu Wei established the Han and Tang Empires, he killed more than 100 leaders of large and small forces, including Lin Zhengfeng, within a year, he had to make up his mind to kill Tang Hun regardless of a single qiΔ, Tang Hun's head on his neck was not necessary.
Sophia saw that the atmosphere froze, so she had to come out and play a round and said: "Everyone, don't be so hot, yes for the good of the empire, if not, then talk about it." Qin Ming, you sit down first, Tang Hun, you also go back and sit down first, Zhu Daneng, it's not me talking about you, now everyone is trying to find a way to face the upcoming crisis, there are some things that shouldn't be said, don't say it, you also sit back first, listen to me a few words, okay?"
Under Sophia's round, this meeting can finally continue, but the contradictions in all aspects have been put on the foreground, and in the face of the enemy in such a situation, will it work......?
