The Jinyiwei who is rampant in another world

Famine, this term is very unfamiliar to the civilians of Peishui Continent. Because of abundant water sources, abundant aquatic plants, and high yield of agricultural land in Peishui Continent, basically there will be no shortage of food, even Even the Hangra people living in the desert can find many oases in the desert for farming.

But this year, the people of Peishui Continent ushered in their first famine in thousands of years. The latest famine was thousands of years ago. According to historical records, the reason for that famine was not because of anything. Natural disasters and severe drought or something, but because of the dissatisfaction of the three countries on the mainland, a war was waged, but it was also a ridiculous war. More than [-]% of the troops dispatched by the three countries were mercenaries. In fact, the three countries did not have their own regular troops. , and some are very few in number.

The civilians in the Peishui Continent, who are accustomed to peace, were suddenly thrown into disarray by the sudden war. The high food tax and poll tax made it difficult for most of the civilians to make ends meet. There was a large-scale famine. The rulers of the Three Kingdoms saw that Immediately, the war ended hastily and turned to internal rescue.

This war for border sovereignty ended anticlimactically, but because of their decisive decision, the civilians of the three countries did not starve to death a lot, and the number of mobs caused by hunger in the country was also contained. After that, they spent 100 It took many years to completely eliminate the impact of the war. They did not expect that just a little bit of war would bring such consequences. This also made the rulers of various countries firm in their determination to avoid war. If you fight, you will definitely not fight.We can have a war of words and swords at the negotiating table, but we will never use real swords and guns.

Thousands of years have passed, and people have long forgotten the famine that year, but today they experience the taste of famine again.

Because of the village massacre incident, a large number of villagers did not dare to stay in the suburbs, and collectively moved to the vicinity of the main city. The wasteland on the outskirts of the main city was immediately crowded and overcrowded. The major city owners are about to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures. Civilians did not enter the city.But the impact is obvious.

The rage of the suburban population.The city's security has deteriorated sharply, because civilians have lost their farmland, and they have lost their most basic source of income. This has led many young people to embark on a desperate road.Theft and robbery incidents are on the rise.People in the city are basically afraid to go out to work in the city.The farm outside was also frequently stolen by unknown thieves, and there were a lot of thefts, although the farmer reported the case to the city guard.But the city guards are so busy inside that they still have time to take care of your suburban affairs.

However, the city lord can't turn a blind eye to the increasing number of crimes. The city lord began to recruit more city guards, and even hired mercenaries to come to the emergency. Although the effect was very significant at the beginning, the crime rate dropped a lot. But because of the high-intensity suppression and the high-level monitoring of the civilians who migrated from outside, the civilians who were originally peaceful began to become restless.

They think that the city lord is unable to protect their safety, and now they want to suppress them, which makes them feel very angry.The displaced people were already full of resentment, and now they are even more angry, and mobs also appeared. The first batch of mobs appeared in a small main city of Usbang, and the city owner simply regarded those civilians as crimes. The victims were imprisoned, and not only were they not allowed to enter the city to find work, they were even circled as if they were livestock.

The city lord's humiliating behavior quickly aroused the anger of the people. If you say that they are not allowed to enter the city, they will admit it. You can keep them in circles, but then the city lord will be responsible for eating and drinking like this?The city lord not only ignored this, but also collected taxes from those civilians, euphemistically called temporary residence tax and security tax. This unreasonable request immediately made all the civilians almost explode.

The riot in the small town immediately attracted the high-level attention of Usbang Kingdom. They knew that what they were worried about happened, but they didn't expect it to happen so soon.In order to prevent the influence of the mob from spreading, they immediately sent troops to suppress the mob, and then carried out appeasement work, but they knew very well that this was not a long-term solution at all.

The peasants left the land, and food and drink became a problem. It was already very difficult for the main city to maintain itself, and it was even more impossible to afford these civilians to eat and drink for nothing.When the time comes to sit and eat, it will be those citizens who will become mobs.

In addition to the impact of farmers leaving the land, the city began to lose most of its food sources, and the farms outside the city could barely afford the consumption of the main city. Once the farms entered the crop replacement stage, this vacuum period would be Let the main city lose its food supply, thus falling into a crisis of food shortage.

Usbang sent a large number of civil servants to lobby those farmers to let them go back to their place and continue to live, and ensured that they would not be attacked by the demons, but their lobbying was not successful. It is precisely their own fault.

Back then, in order to increase the dependence of commoners on the temple, the water element gods described the demons and the light gods as vicious, and said they were extremely cruel. The high-level officials of the Three Kingdoms also spared no effort to assist the temple in the propaganda back then. Although they knew it was fake Yes, but in order to keep their position, they also did it with peace of mind.

Because of their excessive publicity back then, the ferocious image of the demons was deeply imprinted in the hearts of those civilians. In addition, the recent massacre of the demons made them afraid to go back. Thinking that I was hit by the stone I lifted.

As time went by, the situation deteriorated sharply, because civilians gathered outside the city, and the food that was not much in the first place was consumed more, and finally there was a crisis of food shortage. The city was supplied, and the supply to civilians outside the city was stopped.

This move made the civilians who didn't know the truth outside think that the city lord had abandoned them, and immediately became excited again. This was about to riot again, but after they came to the main city, they found that the gate of the main city was tight. Closed, on the city wall there are already soldiers of the city guard waiting in battle, and the bowstring in their hands has been stretched.

The civilian riots with hoes and sickles were naturally suppressed. It didn't take many people to suppress these mobs. A team of dozens of mercenaries was enough.However, repression cannot solve any problems. Although it achieved stability for a while, a large number of civilians were starved to death outside the city. The situation is no longer optimistic.

Hunger riots, these are frequently staged in the nearest mainland, facing this situation, the inexperienced elders' homes are completely helpless, they have been at ease for so long, and they have never encountered such a situation at all. Dossier, I want to refer to my ancestors' previous methods for managing mobs to deal with emergencies.

But they soon discovered that those methods could not be applied now. At that time, it was because of the war. After the war and taxation were stopped in the Elder House, the situation was immediately alleviated, but the current situation is due to the invasion of the demons and the temple. Jihad, neither of which is out of their control.

However, they have already noticed some problems. This jihad is becoming more and more wrong, because they have never seen any signs of demons appearing on the mainland. How many demons have been killed in the local area, but without exception, those battles took place in the villages on the outskirts, and it is also very coincidental that there is no human survivor in the attacked village. They doubt whether the people in the temple are real or not. They are trying to wipe out the demons, and every day they report good news, but there is no effect at all until now, and the massacre of the village is still happening every day.

At the beginning, there were not so many civilians outside the city, and they all gradually accumulated and became huge. The important reason was that they were frightened by the massacre incidents, and some villages that did not want to move were also forced to move to the main city. Near the city, so that it has become what it is now.

Those who starved to death, those who were suppressed to death, and the appearance of a large number of civilian corpses laid a solid and fertile soil for the seeds of demons. Half a month after the mob incident, the seeds of demons that were finally planted germinated, and they Also ushered in the devil's gift, the plague. (To be continued..)
