Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 56 Completely different, two results

"Everyone, this is our son-in-law, the leader of Taoyuan Town, Chen Ci, Chen Yanqing."

"Today, my son-in-law and princess are kind-hearted, sympathetic to the disaster, and can't bear the suffering in the world. They specially opened a warehouse to release food to help you. Today, everyone eats and drinks with open stomachs."

"Oh, by the way, the King of Wu has an order. Now the war is raging and the situation on the front line is unclear. Considering that so many refugees have flooded into the Guangling area, a military order has been issued to build fortifications outside Guangling City. The wages will be given according to the economic level of Guangling City. , any man who is willing to come out to participate can take care of the food. If there are only old and weak women and children in the household, they can also be enthroned and go to the textile factory to do some small things within their ability."

"Furthermore, the King of Wu drafted a conscription notice. Anyone who is willing to pass the medical examination and political examination can join the army and serve the King of Wu."

"..."

In front of the city tower, an officer shouted at the top of his voice.

Some soldiers were busy putting up notices.

A huge crowd of refugees gathered in front of the city tower. Some of them could read and write, and they described it in the explanation notice.Many people burst into tears when they learned that the son-in-law and the princess provided food relief out of their own pockets to alleviate the embarrassment of so many refugees flooding into the city.

Most of them came from Suzhou. In order to escape the war, most of them gave up the land on which they lived.Along the way, they used up all the remaining coils on their bodies, and some of them were hungry for a few days, and their eyes were full of stars, so they almost ate their children.After finally making it to Guangling, under King Wu's seat, it's a pity that King Wu is also very busy. There is a pile of documents on the desk all day long, and military and government affairs need to be done by himself. How can he have time to take care of so many refugees?But now, people heard that the son-in-law and the princess presided over the disaster relief. Although it was gruel, it could barely satisfy their hunger. People who are hungry and dizzy are not human, and their minds have long lost the emotions and dignity that people should have.In short, the idea of ​​gratitude is on the minds of most people these days.

"My son-in-law is kind."

"..."

Suzhou has not yet fallen.

It's just that it is the closest to the place where the Dongying people stationed their troops.

Now the situation is tense. Governor Yang Wanli of the Suzhou Legion is training troops every day, and armed conflicts break out with the Dongying people every day. The people are miserable, and they have a premonition that the war will start at any time.

Yang Wanli was a soldier, he had been a soldier all his life, he hated the Dongying people to the bone, and when he learned that the Dongying people were increasing their troops in the sea, countless warships sailed into the port, and even landed in Wengshan, Kuaiji County and other places, Yang Wanli was eager to fight.In fact, once the military rank reached that level, it would be difficult to advance further, but Yang Wanli was ambitious. He was now in his sixties, and his arms could still hold a thousand catties.He is also a general with real power. With a single call, tens of thousands of soldiers defended their loyalty. Many years ago, he regretted that he did not participate in the battle of Jingzhou. Zhang, after he came back, he was awarded a military rank, and he was in the same position as himself, so he was very jealous.However, Wu Yue is as calm as a lake. Now that the Dongying people are provoking, the flames of war are about to ignite. Yang Wanli is secretly delighted. For soldiers, especially for a veteran general like him who has experienced many battles, it means countless military achievements , Earn endless honors.

Therefore, facing the continuous increase of troops from Dongying, Yang Wanli was not afraid of rejoicing.

He always stood on the city wall of Suzhou and looked at the garrison of the Allied Forces of Japan, and said with disdain: "With me guarding Suzhou, Dongying Xiaoxiao, how dare you violate my realm?"

Then, every time the lieutenant-general sees the commander-in-chief so arrogant, he thinks of the military situation of his own scouts, saying that the Dongying army has dispatched at least more than 20 troops. I hope the general will not underestimate the enemy. Whenever this happens, Yang Wanli can't help it He laughed loudly: "Suzhou is a barrier to Wunan. He Dongying people have 20 troops, but I also have 15 soldiers in Wunan. Moreover, our Wuyue four places are connected with each other, and our lips are dead and our teeth are cold. Suzhou is the most dangerous, but It’s also the safest, so why be afraid of it?”

Having said that, Yang Wanli is not a fool. He knows that his army is very different. Subconsciously, he always imagines that the Dongying people and the barbarians on the northern grasslands are as uncivilized as the barbarians on the great desert outside the Western Regions. He is also afraid of the Dongying people He didn't talk about martial arts, didn't understand the relationship between Wu and Yue's political factions, and was afraid that the Dongying people would fight unannounced, so he secretly issued military orders and recruited troops wantonly.

Yang Wanli has no money.

He doesn't have enough money.

Recruiting soldiers and buying horses is a bottomless pit of burning money.

But the war is imminent, how could Yang Wanli care so much?So all the men in Suzhou City were asked to serve as soldiers, and those who had horses donated horses, and those who had food donated food. After this, the people of Suzhou City were panicked. Well, I was still afraid of the coming war, and realized that Suzhou was not a place to stay for a long time, so I scrambled and scrambled, took my family and fled to Guangling without even giving up the good farmland and houses.

The common people are ignorant, Suzhou is the front line, and it is in danger, Guangling is the heart of Wu Nan, and the stronghold of the King of Wu, so it should be safe there, right?
Chen Ci obeyed the princess's opinion, waved his hand generously, bought five thousand shi of grain, let his subordinates cook it into porridge, and distributed it to the refugees. Seeing the order, he was very satisfied.

No matter what, today, the name of his statement can be counted out.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow.

The hungry refugees don't care about any hypocrisy in their eyes.

At this time, a few galloping horses came galloping, and immediately a sergeant stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Meet His Royal Highness."

The person who came was none other than His Royal Highness Murong Tong and his entourage.

Murong Tong nodded slightly, and walked up to Chen Ci and the princess, and they exchanged salutes, as a greeting, Murong Tong smiled and said: "This time I'm going to bother you again."

"It's nothing. Now that the troubled times are approaching, we should all have the responsibility to fight together."

They exchanged a few words with each other.

In fact, Murong Tong had noticed about the refugees a long time ago. He was about to order someone to open the granary, but Chen Ci got ahead of him.After all, there are so many refugees, if they are not dealt with in a short time, it will be the most troublesome, not to mention the problem of order, these refugees will seriously block the traffic, some refugees are uncivilized, stubborn, do not understand the law, and are hungry I don't care about those anymore, it will definitely cause a certain crime rate by then.Now Guangling City is already troubled, if it really happens like this, the sergeant will have to be ordered to conduct a thorough investigation, the gain outweighs the loss.

Making a statement can be described as the best of both worlds.

First, it eased the public security in Guangling and relieved the pressure on Murong Tong.

The second is to gain a good reputation for the statement itself.

At this time, a cavalry team suddenly came not far away, the crowd was noisy, Chen Ci followed their discussion, and his brows were also furrowed.

The cavalry of the Japanese people.

Sitting on the tall steed is a samurai from the Little Chiba Kendo Gym, who seems to be called Jun Miyamoto.

The refugees, who were originally orderly, suddenly looked unfriendly as if they saw a vicious dog whose bones had been taken away.You know, if the political situation with the Dongying people hadn't heated up, they wouldn't have left their hometowns to be enraged by this bird.The so-called meeting of enemies made them extremely jealous, and suddenly the atmosphere at the scene became dignified.You know, there are more than 2 refugees gathered here outside the city, and there are only a dozen or so people from Dongying.

If they really rushed up in a swarm, it would be enough to tear these Dongpu people into pieces.

Miyamoto Jun was expressionless.

Of course he knew about the situation in Suzhou.

Now the high-level executives in Wuyue and Yuezhou are killing donkeys and investigating industries opened by Dongying people, such as paper mills.

Although, the Dongying people who are in charge of these projects have repeatedly explained and questioned the local government, saying that the political conflicts of the ethnic groups should not be raised to personal business behaviors, but it is not the same. Suck the blood of our Daliang people, use the money to spend on military expenses, and then turn around and invade us?

The corners of Jun Miyamoto's lips turned up, looking at these refugees filled with righteous indignation, it was a little funny, thinking that it's no wonder that people in Daliang have low bones.

It’s no wonder he thinks so. Dongying’s territory is narrow and barren, but it allows the people to live a prosperous life. On the other hand, Great Liang, with its vast land and rich resources, sits on the vast land of fourteen prefectures, but people live in poverty. This is not just a matter of politics. The problem of the system, but the internal contradictions of the people of Great Liang.Theoretically, the resources of Great Liang are enough to allow everyone to live a good life, but those in high positions, not to mention the dignitaries in the capital, but the princely clans from all over the world, monopolize supplies, and would rather store their grain in warehouses The land was ruined by rats. They would rather the fruit rot on the branches than sell it cheaply to the common people.This is the most incomprehensible thing for Dongying people. It is obvious that they can prosper and prosper together, but in the end, only a small number of people can enjoy the life of Zhongming Ding, but the vast majority of people are in dire straits.

Later, Toshi Miyamoto stayed in Great Liang for a few years, learned about the political system and human history of Great Liang in detail, and finally found the answer.

Perhaps the human heart is inherently selfish.

Great Liang's political system is only for more perfect control of the ignorant people at the bottom.

Only when ordinary people live for three meals a day and work hard for their livelihood, they don't have enough motivation to rebel.

Who would come, why don't the Dongying people have this worry?That is the historical factor. Whether it is the "Bushido" or "Gourd Way" they believe in, they are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. People either regard the sense of national honor as the highest merit, and it is the highest honor to die for His Majesty the Emperor; or the gourd The island is invincible.In short, both Great Liang and Japan have adopted effective methods to control the hearts and minds of the people, but they are completely opposite, and the results are also completely different.

Thinking of this, Toshi Miyamoto, who was sitting on the saddle holding the bridle as still as a mountain, sneered, a little disdainful.

Such a nation does not need external intervention at all, and it is only a matter of time before its own collapse.

Such a corrupt regime will sooner or later be annihilated in the long river of history.

"Kill them!" A refugee caught Miyamoto Jun's unreadable expression and said fiercely.
