Volume XVI Han and Tang Dynasty Chapter 1683 Bone Iron Ore
Battles always have to be fought, just like people always have to eat, and this has become a must-do in the Heavenly Wind Continent.
The Han and Tang armies shrank in Cloud City, Avril went to Dragon City, Wang Yiwu didn't know where to go, the three forces didn't seem to have the intention of going to war for the time being, but the Tianfeng Continent was not calm.
After the Langtian disaster, the situation of the Han and Tang Empire's dominance was quickly disintegrated, and the already unstable Tianfeng Continent, large and small forces all took the opportunity to rise, and at most, even more than a thousand forces fought around.
After more than a year of war, the thousand forces were beaten into more than 300 shares. The general territory also has its own destination, and the Tianfeng Continent has also been relatively calm for a while.
However, it was only relatively calm, and the war never left the continent. As the saying goes, there are big fights, small fights and small fights, those small forces can't fight with big forces like the Han and Tang Dynasties, but those surrounding forces that are about the same size as them can still fight.
Why do you have to fight?
The reason is very simple, there are so many resources, and if people eat more, you will eat less. If you want to eat more for yourself, you have to snatch the bite that belongs to others. Of course, people don't want their food to be robbed, so there is war.
There is not much difference between human warfare and animal food. The only difference is that human warfare requires more than just food.
Li Jiajun is not at the top of the power ranking of the Tianfeng Continent. Their total number is only more than a thousand people, and if they encounter Avril's black army, the whole army will grit their teeth and go together, and it will not last ten minutes. It can be said that whether the Li family army is in existence or not has little to do with the shape of the entire Tianfeng Continent, but the Li family's storage is very significant to Li Jiacun.
Lijia Village is actually a city, a medium-sized town. It has a population of 200,000. This, of course, is the number of people counted during the Mandala Empire. More than ten years of war have killed the people in this town. There are only more than 70,000 people left behind.
More than 70,000 people in the Heavenly Wind Continent is just a small number. I think that when Langtian was the most prosperous, the population used to exceed 10 million. More than 70,000 is not enough for a fraction of the waves. But this town, with a population of just over 70,000, has attracted the attention of countless people.
Li Yunxing was looking at the information of this Lijia Village at this time. It's not that he found it himself, but Avril specially asked him before going to Dragon City. Information thrown to him. Before leaving, Avril once said to Li Yunxing: Lijia Village must be taken.
Why does Avril value Lijia Village? Zhaojia Village?
The reason is simple, there is an iron mine in Lijia Village. War is fought against resources, and iron is the most important resource in war. Not to mention that swords, guns, and armor all need iron, and even the pots used for cooking are inseparable from iron, and without the power of resources, they can't last long in the Tianfeng Continent.
Li Yunxing is also surnamed Li, so when he saw the name Lijiacun, he had a sense of intimacy, and he didn't want to be like before this time. As soon as the guy goes up and fights, he plans to play some wits as well. Outwit Lijia Village.
It's a city, but it uses a name that sounds like a village. This is very rare in the history of the towns of the Heavenly Wind Continent. Lijia Village got its name because it was originally called this name.
Lijia Village is a place where people are very good at the story. Fifty years ago. There are only more than 100 households here, and the total population is not more than 1,000, because more than eighty percent of the people are surnamed Li, and all of them are called Lijia Village.
The people of Lijia Village have been farming for generations, and if nothing happens, the people here should continue to farm like this. But one day, fifty years ago, the land could not be planted.
"Brother Ergou, what happened fifty years ago, you should tell me quickly. Say nothing, you want to kill people. "In the grove by the river, there is a delicate daughter's voice, and those who are familiar with this voice know that the owner of this voice is called Hong'er, and she is just eighteen years old today.
Hong'er is very popular in this area, because she is not only beautiful, but also has a pure heart. No matter which family is in trouble, she will definitely help when she knows it. Beautiful and kind, who wouldn't like it, so the young men of the right age in this area all dream of marrying Hong'er as their wife. But thinking about it, there are few who really have a chance, and Li Ergou is the one with the most chance.
Li Ergou is just 20 this year, and he has been literate since he was a child, but he has a good kung fu. He can win Hong'er's liking, not because he is the youngest son of Li Zhi, the leader of the Li family's army, but because he can tell stories.
Hong'er likes to listen to stories the most, especially the stories about Lijia Village, she doesn't sound enough. She likes to know everything big and small.
"Fifty years ago, ......" Li Ergou deliberately lengthened his voice, he liked to see Hong'er in a hurry. A year ago, when he met Hong'er for the first time, he fell in love with this innocent girl, and after a year of hard work, he finally completed the process from not knowing each other to being familiar with each other. If you can get one step closer, you should be able to marry Hong'er home.
"Ouch, you're about to say it. Hong'er coquettishly hugged Li Ergou's arm and shook it, shaking the hearts of the other young people on the side, and now she rushed up and kicked Li Ergou away to take his place. It's a pity that they don't know much about literacy and knowledge, and they don't know anything about what happened fifty years ago that could change Lijia Village.
Li Ergou smiled with satisfaction and said, "Hong'er, in fact, with your cleverness, you should be able to guess." ”
Fifty years ago, the population of Lijia Village was less than 100 households, but within a few years, the population skyrocketed to 200,000, making a village gorgeously turn into a city.
Hong'er pouted and said, "I don't guess, I want you to say it." Brother Ergou, say it quickly. Hong'er hugged Li Ergou's arm and began to shake again, these of her movements were relatively large, driving a pair of balls on her chest to tremble with it.
Li Ergou swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "Okay, I'll ...... it."
"Fifty years ago, iron ore was discovered in Lijia Village. Unlike iron ore mines in other places, the iron ore in Lijia Village is very shallow, and iron can be produced less than two meters above the ground. When the news broke, almost everyone went crazy. Every day, a large number of people rush to Lijia Village, doing nothing but grabbing land to dig iron ore ......"
Huang Jinfeng sorted out the information he found. Organize it in your own words, and tell it to Hu Wei like a story.
Hu Wei sighed: "I don't know if this is a banner from the sky or a disaster from the sky for Lijia Village." ”
Huang Jinfeng glanced at Hu Wei in surprise and said, "Your brain is spinning so fast." When I first saw the information, I thought that the people of Lijia Village really sent it this time. Later, I checked all the information and realized that this was not a good thing for them. ”
As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty. Guilty of guilt. The people of Lijia Village originally lived a very peaceful life and cultivated their own land. There is nothing bad about eating your own rice, not envying others, and not being envied by others.
But since the discovery of iron ore, their lives have changed in an instant, because they have something that others envy. Possessing treasures beyond the scope of one's ability to protect is often not happiness, but disaster.
Huang Jinfeng sighed and said, "The discovery of iron ore is for the people of Lijia Village. It's not a good thing. The people who arrived at the beginning of the news were relatively conscientious. They are thinking about cooperating with the people of Lijia Village. Develop iron ore together and make money together. If only it could be. The people of Lijia Village have really picked up the treasure. ”
Hu Wei shook his head and said, "This possibility will not be big." ”
Huang Jinfeng said: "I know you haven't read the information of Lijia Village before. I'd like to hear what you have to say. In your opinion, what is the fate of the people of Lijia Village. ”
Hu Wei said: "Although I haven't read the materials, the history is always strikingly similar. Something like this has happened countless times. Those who want to cooperate with the villagers, or those who have this idea but are a step late, soon find that the people of Lijia Village want to see but not know, and they have no strength, except that they are born from Lijia Village, they want nothing. ”
"Cooperation has always been based on reciprocal relationships. The difference in strength is too great, and it is absolutely impossible to reach cooperation. If I guessed correctly, one of the people in Lijia Village counted one, and no one got the benefit, but ...... Alas, disaster. ”
Huang Jinfeng nodded and said, "You are right, it is indeed a disaster. In fact, there is no one in Lijia Village now. The people of Lijia Village and Ben had no ability to protect their 'treasures', one of them was counted as one, and all of them were killed by the later forces.
From the time the first Lijiacun person was killed, Lijiacun became a huge meat grinder. While it produces a large amount of iron ore for the Heavenly Wind Continent, it is also constantly devouring life. Even when the mandala is singing and dancing, it is also full of blood.
In the past 50 years, Lijiacun has never stopped tearing and killing. The iron ore there is so easy to mine that you can dig it out as long as you grab the land, and it's easier to get money than gold mines.
Huang Jinfeng finally concluded: "There are actually two major specialties in Lijia Village, one is iron ore, the other is bones, in the past 50 years, more than one million people have died there due to robbing iron ore, and bones can be seen on the edge of the first iron mine. ”
After listening to Li Ergou's story, Hong'er cried a lot. At the age of eighteen, she never knew that the land she lived in was so terrible.
Li Ergou regretted saying this to Hong'er with some regrets. When Hong'er's eyes were red, he actually wanted to stop, but Hong'er insisted that he finish speaking, so the more he talked, the more miserable it became, and the more Hong'er listened, the more he cried, the more he wanted him to say. She had always wondered why Lijia Village was already the size of a city, and it was still called Lijia Village.
Now she finally knows that the reason why Lijiacun is called Lijiacun is because all forces have been busy tearing it apart for so many years, and they don't have time to pay attention to what it's called, let alone change its name, even if there is a force that has done such a thing, it was pushed down by another force a few days ago, and the changed name and Ben will not be remembered.
"Alright, Hong'er, these are all in the past. Since the establishment of the Li Jiajun, such a thing has not happened again. Don't you see that our Lijia Village is doing well now? ”
"But Li Jiajun has only been established for less than a year...... "Hong'er said here. Whimpered again. She didn't know that a year ago, Lijia Village was still like hell. People die every day because of the iron ore grabbing.
Hong'er doesn't know this, on the one hand, because this kind of history is not very glorious, and the forces are unwilling to record it, but there is no power. I don't have a long life, and I don't have the heart to record it. Besides, they had expected this to be the case before they came here. The reality is just more brutal than they imagined, and it's not that it's unacceptable.
"If only Li Jiajun could show up earlier. Maybe not. Li Ergou sighed. Because he doesn't manage family affairs, he doesn't know Li Jiajun that well. Li Jiajun was actually an army formed through negotiations when all forces were tired of fighting to the death and were unwilling and unwilling to fight anymore. Although his father Li Zhi is the head of the Li family's army, he can't say anything about this army, and all affairs must be discussed with other forces before a decision can be made.
Li Zhi doesn't know now, but it won't be long. He knew it. Lijia Village is destined to be a place of unrest, nearly a year of peace. But the beginning of another storm. The iron ore here may be dug one day, but the bones here will remain forever.
Sooner or later, the boy will grow up. The girl's tears will dry up sooner or later. This is the truth that Lijia Village has really given to the people living in this land for many years.
Li Yunxing decided to play a game of wisdom this time and outwit Lijia Village. However, in the dangerous place of Lijia Village, he naturally would not go there in person. After thinking about it, he decided to send Tang brother Li Yunshui to talk to Li Zhi.
Li Yunshui is actually not Li Yunxing's Tang brother, and he has no blood relationship with Li Yunxing in his generation. He can be recognized by Li Yunxing, in fact, because he and Li Yunxing have the same smell and have common hobbies.
Li Yunxing is lustful, Li Yunshui is also lustful, people like to play one dragon and two phoenixes, and their brothers like to play two dragons and one phoenix, just like that, their relationship is relatively deep, and they often sleep in the same bed, can it be bad.
Li Yunshui still listened to Li Yunxing very much, Li Yunxing asked him to go to Lijia Village, he didn't say a word, and took someone to go. Speaking of which, Li Yunshui is a very handsome man, with a face like white jade, eyes like stars, can speak well, and seems to be very talented.
In fact, in addition to the fact that the skin is already good, he is a straw bale. He pretended to be very talented, but in fact he didn't have any, only boasted, and never did a useful thing.
Li Yunshui rushed to Lijia Village with 200 people. Speaking of his straw bag, he really inquired about the situation of Lijia Village before he came, and he knew more or less about the history of Lijia Village. However, he is not afraid that the people of Lijia Village will dare to touch him, Li Yunxing's tens of thousands of troops are nearby, and the Li family's army is only 1,000 people, and they can be destroyed at will, how dare they dare to touch him.
With a big grin, Li Yunshui went to Lijia Village, and along the way, he still thought about beautiful things all the way in his heart. In his opinion, there is no need to talk nonsense with the people of Lijia Village, and he can just take the people of Lijia Village and bring the mine over, so what does it take to outwit. It's such a broken place, can you still use wisdom?
"Where is this ahead?" The weather is a little hot, and the road is not very easy to walk, Li Yunshui is uncomfortable sitting in the vest. Before leaving, the good mood was bumped all the way, and there was not much left.
"Small...... The small ones are not very clear either. Shall I ask you?"
"Waste, I don't even know where it weighs. Death to the side. Li Yunshui didn't have any good words when he opened his mouth, and he was really sorry for his pretty face.
Li Yunshui finished scolding, and felt a burst of internal urgency. He is a particular man in this regard, and although there is a toilet in the carriage, he never solves it on the horse.
After stopping the carriage, Li Yunshui asked the brigade to wait on the side and drill into the forest on the side by himself. I found a good place, put the water happily, and my whole body was comfortable.
"Cool. Li Yunshui habitually snorted a few times, tied his trouser belt, and was walking out, when he suddenly saw a red shadow flashing in the distance.
"What a beautiful girl. "Li Yunshui is a demon in the sex, the women he has played with, there are not a thousand but eight hundred, he can know whether a woman is beautiful just by looking at his fingers.
After sitting in the car for a long time, my whole body was uncomfortable, and if I could have a beautiful girl to hold me, it would feel different. Li Yunshui thought about it, and shouted at the girl.
The girl who was met by Li Yunshui was Hong'er. She secretly came to the woods, in fact, she also wanted to relieve herself. Fortunately, when she came in, she heard Li Yunxing's humming and knew that there were people here, so she didn't relieve herself, but turned around and walked out.
Li Yunshui shouted a few times, and saw that Hong'er not only didn't stop, but walked faster and faster, but it was not only hot, but it was like Hong'er chasing after him. The little beauty is chasing back, and the little beauty is called. Don't say it, you really let him catch up.
"What do you want to do?" (To be continued.) )
