Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 555 Civil War and Foreign War
The army went out, the wind was blowing, and the horseshoes were rushing, but within a quarter of an hour, the banner fluttering in the wind left everyone's sight.

The civil and military officials bent down and waited for the new emperor to step down from the general platform, their expressions becoming more respectful.

Gong Zhiming glanced at them, and replied calmly, "The people are simple and honest, and don't ask for much. You herd the world for me, remember to listen to the voice of the people!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

All the officials agreed, and Gong Zhiming didn't care if what they said was true or not, he looked at the disappearing army from a distance and said, "From today onwards, anyone who dares to support the enemy and obstruct the army's campaign will be killed without mercy, and will be wiped out." Three clans! Reporter, exonerate!"

"Ah... yes!"

In fact, everyone still didn't understand why Gong Zhiming brought up such a thing at such a time.

After all, the army has just set out for an expedition, and the victory or defeat is unknown. Moreover, Changshi's family has suffered a miserable fate. They really don't think anyone would have such courage.

Gong Zhiming didn't say much, got on his horse and went straight back to the palace.

A group of civil and military officials were left behind, and while thinking about it, they got into the carriage and followed back.

The sun rises and the moon sets, but within half a month, there is news.

The [-] army encountered two counterattacks against the king early on. Fortunately, the old general Chu was well prepared, divided his troops into three groups, and made a big dumpling. Although there were also casualties, they killed more enemies, which was considered a small victory.

At this point, even a three-year-old child knows that there must be an internal response to the anti-king in the capital, otherwise why would the army's marching route be known by the anti-king?

The first battle report was like a drama with a grand prelude. Since then, every three or four days, the official road will be spread with dust and dust.

Simply, all are good news!

In order to re-establish the glorious foundation of the Chu family, Old General Chu really did his best, and almost put into use all the knowledge he had learned in his life.

Chu's second son was even more heroic. He killed countless enemies with a big gun. At the most powerful time, he actually killed three in and three out of the enemy camp, which greatly boosted morale!

People in the capital city have developed a habit at some point, and they have nothing to do to sit in the teahouse restaurant at the gate of the city. If they meet a fast horse galloping into the city with a big flag, they will hear that sentence, "Northwest Victory News, kill two thousand enemies, big victory!" It was as if everyone drank a bowl of ice cream in the dog days, extremely refreshing and inexplicably excited.Don't talk about the joy of the last time, just give a thumbs up and praise, it's simply unreasonable.

In this way, the shopkeepers of restaurants and teahouses are so happy that they occasionally generously send a pot of good tea and wine to each table, which is regarded as their patriotic intention.

When the war was going well, Dai Viet officially entered the spring.

The so-called plan for a year lies in spring, and this is the most important season for Dai Viet, which is based on farming.

Everywhere in Dai Viet is busy with spring plowing. In the past two years, due to the drought and the diversion of the Golden River, there have been two years of poor harvests or even no production. This year can be said to be the most critical year.

Even if there is a way to buy food from Donghao, it is after all a way to save the poor but not the emergency.It is good enough to ease the temporary difficulties, how could it be possible for the millions of people in Da Yue to count on other countries.

Resuming production and filling up the normal warehouse is an urgent matter that must be resolved by Dai Viet.

Gong Zhiming changed his clothes and often went to the fields outside the city. He even ordered all the state capitals to make way for the spring sowing. Anyone who delayed the people's spring sowing would be severely punished.

The local governments were also afraid that the three fires of the former emperor would be burned on their heads. Even though they felt a little disapproving, they obediently copied it.

In this way, the situation in Dai Viet is very good.As long as God is gracious and the weather is good, there will be a bumper harvest in autumn.

Of course, there has never been a shortage of courageous people in the world, and there is no shortage of "warriors" who think they are smart and can draw chestnuts from the fire.

Just when the whole country was busy with spring sowing, looking forward to a good harvest, and occasionally rejoicing at the frequent good news, the capital suddenly fell into chaos.

The reason is very simple. One day, when an old parade official knocked on his clapper and walked across the street, he just shouted the phrase "the sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the fire and candles", and a house behind him caught fire.

This place is located in the north of the city, mostly civilians live together, the courtyards are next to each other, and there are even some shacks. If the fire spreads, it will be so tragic that it is hard to imagine.

The old official almost broke his throat and knocked on the clapper, and quickly called out to the sleeping people.

The men took buckets of things to help put out the fire, while the women and children panicked and cried and picked up the soft things.

Of course, there are people who sleep more soundly, still sleeping soundly, not knowing that they are about to become a roast suckling pig.

Suddenly, the originally peaceful night became noisy.

I don't know if it was God's sympathy that went to grandma's house, and the wind blew at this time.

Taking advantage of the wind, the fire quickly spread and burned to the third house in the blink of an eye.

Some children were separated from their parents, and they hurriedly searched in the crowd, crying heartbreakingly, "Mother, woohoo, daddy, woohoo, I'm scared, I'm scared!"

If it was a normal day, there might be someone to help find one or two, but at such a time, no one could care about it.

"Water quickly, quickly, quickly!"

All pots, buckets, and even iron pots were taken out, and all the nearby courtyard doors were opened, and countless people came in and out to fetch water to help put out the fire.

But even so, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and everyone who watched was desperate.

"What can I do, woo woo! Who will put out the fire! God, help!"

The cries of the women are getting louder, and the men are getting weaker and weaker. Seeing that their homes are about to be burned, this is simply a disaster.

At this moment, suddenly a group of people came pushing the water dragon, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the water dragon is coming!"

"Thank God, there is finally salvation, there is salvation!"

Everyone was overjoyed and almost cheered while looking at the copper basin.

Some of the people crowded on the road climbed onto the wall to make room for the water dragon.

Soon, the water dragon pushed to the door of the next house that was on fire, preparing to wet the house first to avoid being ignited, and then go back to put out the fire.

The water dragon in Dayue is made of cowhide for water storage and water pipes. There is a handle on the water wheel, and the water wheel will be raised when it is shaken continuously, and then the water in the water storage will be sprinkled out through the cowhide pipe. Pressure, the scope of fire extinguishing is relatively small, but it is much more efficient than the random spraying of water by everyone.

Needless to say, the previous few houses will definitely not be saved, but everyone is already very satisfied that they can prevent other neighbors from being burned.

The strong man with the water pipe in his hand turned dark red by the fire. For some reason, the corner of his mouth had a hint of madness and cruelty.

Some people saw it, but thought it was an illusion, and didn't care.

Just as he was about to turn on the switch of the water pipe, a man in black suddenly rushed to the water truck, snatched the water pipe, and quickly sniffed it.

The strong man's face changed, and he stretched out his hand and drew a long knife from his handle, about to cut someone down.

Unexpectedly, the man in black was even more annoyed than him. He raised his hand and slapped him across the face, then kicked him off the water truck and cursed, "Damn dog, the water dragon is filled with kerosene!"

what?
There is a saying that adds fuel to the fire, which means that the more the fire burns, the more serious it is. Even a three-year-old child knows how serious the consequences will be if he adds fuel to the fire.

If the lamp oil is poured on it as water, let alone put out the fire, even if God immediately rains down, it will not be able to prevent the entire North City from being burned to ashes.

"I can't, did I read it wrong?"

Someone subconsciously yelled, and the man in black didn't say much. He pulled out his dagger and inserted it into the outlet of the water pipe forcefully. A stream of viscous liquid spewed out and sprayed on several people nearby, causing them to immediately reach out to touch it.

Sticky grease, with a slight fishy smell, what is it if it is not lamp oil?
"Ah, it's really lamp oil!"

"These damned guys are not here to fight the fire, they are here to harm people!"

"Kill them, kill them!"

It was a good night, and every family was immersed in dreams. Suddenly, the fire broke out, the home was destroyed, the daughter-in-law cried, and the child screamed. Everyone felt uncomfortable.

Finally looking forward to a savior, it turned out to be a disaster!

Everyone's anger burst out in an instant, and it didn't matter whether the big guys in the car had knives in their hands or not.

Copper basins, iron pots, wooden barrels, iron shovels, and even bricks and tiles all greeted the waterwheel.

Public anger is hard to offend, even with a long knife in his hand, he has kung fu on his body. Seeing that this has become the target of public criticism and the matter has been completely revealed, the big guys are a little panicked.

He swung the long knife in his hand and was about to kill them, but four or five men in black appeared from nowhere, and while they were avoiding the copper and iron pots, they knocked them down with two or three blows.

The big men felt bad, and were about to bite the pill in their mouths, when their jaws were quickly taken off...

The armored city defense army finally arrived at this time.The real water truck was also pushed, and the common people had no time to complain, let alone pay attention to those fake big men.

The waterwheel was quickly set up, and clear water gushed out, quickly extinguishing the fire. No matter how much the north wind "provoked", there was no possibility of a resurgence.

After the panic, everyone's legs went limp in fear, and they sat down regardless of whether the ground was soaked or not.

"It's saved, it's saved!"

At this moment, not only women and children, but also some men wiped away their tears, their hands were covered with black dust, and almost wiped their faces into the black face of Bao Gong, but no one could laugh.

The homeland, maybe it was decades of hard work to have such a safe place, but it was completely destroyed by an unknown fire.

This is simply not the word despair, it can be described.

"What about those bad guys, maybe they set the fire, kill them!"

I don't know who remembered those big men who "added fuel to the fire" before, but when they searched again, not to mention the strong men, even the men in black who made an emergency shot were gone.

At this moment, there was a fast horse rushing forward, the golden command flag in his hand was fluttering in the wind, it was very clear in the thin dawn, and it also showed that the person who came was the guard of the imperial city.

"The emperor ordered that the rebels take advantage of the night to set fires and create chaos, intending to disturb the capital and hinder the peace of the war. The people are damaged, and the court is in trouble. Starting tomorrow, the Ministry of Industry will send craftsmen to rebuild brick and tile houses for the affected people without money!"

After the guard shouted loudly, no one spoke for a while in the fire scene.
