A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Hu Xicheng was in Yanzhou.

There were many people in the wilderness, many of them old and young, but compared with the army of locusts in the sky, they seemed particularly lonely.

"Kill them!"

Hu Xicheng led a team of sergeants to patrol around.

His face was tanned quite a bit, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

"Light a fire and burn them to death!"

There were fires everywhere in the wilderness, and the smoke was blown by the wind. Hu Xicheng sneezed and said, "Not enough, this is not enough! What did the court say?"

From time to time, locusts fell on those fires and made some explosive noises, but it did not help the overall situation.

The official next to him said: "There is no news from the DPRK and China yet!"

Hu Xicheng turned around and said angrily: "The people here have experienced the locust plague, and they know what will happen under the locust plague... Starvation is everywhere, and the Yizi will eat each other! Now that the locust plague has just begun, why has the government not responded to it? Do you want me to turn it into food for the people to eat?"

Everyone was silent.

"somebody is coming."

The sound of horse hoofbeats gradually became clearer, and Hu Xicheng squinted his eyes and looked ahead, "There are actually carriages and cavalry guards. Which family is this from? But that family?"

Next to here is Xianyuan, the seat of the ancestor of Confucianism.

The person on the side shook his head, "Yunshi, that family doesn't have any cavalry."

"That's right, I've been feeling dizzy recently."

Hu Xicheng was a little restless and led the officials to greet him.

The cavalry stopped in front, and the carriage came straight forward.

The coachman was thin, but he was good at driving. He just pulled the reins lightly and the horse stopped.

The car curtain opened, and a fat face poked out, and then someone came over to help him.

"It's Prime Minister Han!"

Hu Xicheng was overjoyed and said, "The officials actually sent Prime Minister Han here, which shows that they attach great importance to it."

The Prime Minister is here, and there will be no shortage of support later.

Han Qi got out of the car and did not come over. Instead, he stood there and stared at the fields in front of him.

Locusts were flying on the fields and falling from time to time.

The farmers are desperately trying to kill them, but it is a drop in the bucket and to no avail.

"I met Prime Minister Han."

Everyone saluted, but Han Qi still ignored them.

Is this dissatisfaction with us?

Everyone hurriedly stood up.

Han Qi looked at it for a while, then turned around and looked at Hu Xicheng with bright eyes, "Shen An met you in Zhending Mansion. When he came back, he said that although you don't know how to fight, you are capable and willing to do it. In this case, you What means are available?"

Hu Xicheng did not expect Shen An to think so highly of him, but he had no intention of being happy at the moment. He smiled bitterly and said: "After discovering the signs, I ordered the people to cull the locusts. Then I checked the fields every day and found that When the momentum goes wrong, send people back to Beijing quickly..."

"Why don't you report up early?"

Han Qi looked at him with evil eyes.

If the report had been reported early, the DPRK and China would have responded more calmly.

Hu Xicheng shook his head and said: "Start... Prime Minister Han, do you know how many locust plagues there were in the Song Dynasty a year?"

Han Qi really doesn’t know this.

"A lot. There was a locust plague on Jingdong Road last year, but it was very small. At the beginning of this year, everyone, including the official, thought it would be the same as last year. Who knew..."

He said numbly: "The official will plead guilty later, but before that, I also ask Prime Minister Han to report to the official family that Hedong Road is in urgent need of support.

I am afraid that this year's harvest will not be harvested. I know that the DPRK and Central Government have been continuously expanding their warehouses a few years ago. I implore the Korean Prime Minister to come forward and transport the grain to Jingdong Road as soon as possible. Otherwise...the people are in despair. Will raise a flag to rebel! "

"Rebellion?" Han Qi said coldly: "I'm here, let's see who dares!"

Hu Xicheng sighed: "Xiang Han, last year there was a small locust plague, and people gathered in Liangshan. If there is a big locust plague this year, it is really hard to say!"

"I'm here, there's no need to worry about this."

Han Qi felt that he had even killed the Western bandits, but he was just a bunch of people gathered in Liangshan, just like local chickens and dogs.

“Not enough people!”

He looked at the farmers desperately culling locusts and said, "Do you still have manpower?"

Hu Xicheng shook his head, "Everyone from the farmer's family has come out. Look, Mr. Han, that old woman..."

Just in front of and to their left, an old woman was slaying locusts with a ferocious look on her face.

This is a war between man and insect, and humans want to take back their own food from the mouths of insects.

Han Qi said decisively: "Tell the Imperial Guards on Jingdong Road to get out and kill the locusts!"

Some people's hearts tightened, "Mr. Sir, these things have to wait until Chao Zhong nods!"

The Forbidden Army cannot be mobilized without authorization. This is also an ancestral system.

Han Qi said angrily: "I'm so anxious, but I'm still nodding! Go to Bianliang quickly to report the news, so that they can make a decision quickly."

Everyone felt relieved, but Han Qi stared at the person who had previously ordered and shouted: "Bring paper and pen."

Someone brought paper and pen, and a tall sergeant bent over to serve as a desk clerk.

Han Qi waved it away, then stamped it and ordered: "Take it and tell the troops that if they are still huddled in the camp, go back to the southwest and prepare to go fishing at sea!"

He actually sent people to Bianliang for instructions while mobilizing the imperial army. This was to kill first and report later.

Hu Xicheng said with admiration: "Thank you, Prime Minister Han."

Han Qi would definitely be impeached by the censor later, but at this moment, his order could save many farmers.

The army came out, they had kerosene bombs, and they set fires more efficiently.

Han Qi felt at ease and settled down in Yanzhou.

Just one night later, when Han Qi was eating breakfast with a big bowl, an army of locusts flew past his head. More than ten of them, probably smelling the fragrance, actually fell behind and landed next to Han Qi.

Han Qi stared at the locusts blankly. One of them boldly jumped on him and then jumped into the big bowl.

In the big bowl is soup cake with a lump of fat.

As soon as the locust entered, it was overwhelmed by the soup and began to struggle.

Han Qi raised his head and cursed: "What a beast-like world!"

Lowering his head, he picked up the locust with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed hard.

"Delicious! Fragrant!"

Han Qi's eyes were almost filled with fire. After eating a meal of locust soup cake, he took his people out to check.

In the wilderness, the size of locusts can be distinguished with the naked eye.

"Ms. sir, there are more than yesterday!" There was frustration in the voice.

The people are even more desperate.

"My lord, Shen Longtu has passed through Rencheng!"

A horse came quickly, and Han Qi asked, "What's the purpose of the officials sending him here?"

He hoped he had found a way, but Lai Qi said, "I don't know."

Han Qi waved his hand and said, "Just prepare his food and accommodation."

"Let's prepare later." There was still a long way to go from Rencheng to Xia County, so the officials in charge felt that it was too late.

Han Qi and Hu Xicheng looked at him at the same time. Hu Xicheng said: "Shen Longtu uses his troops very quickly. I know that he will arrive at Xia County in the afternoon, so he should go and prepare quickly."

Han Qi nodded, appreciating Hu Xicheng more, "You also know how to fight?"

Hu Xicheng nodded, "I dare to kill someone."

These days, no matter who they are, they always say that they know the soldiers, as if they are embarrassed to go out if they don't.

Han Qi smiled and then led the people around him to the ground.

"Kill them!"

It was as if he had returned to the northwest, leading his men in a constant charge.

When Shen An arrived at Xia County after a long journey, he saw a little expert at catching locusts.

"Where to run!"

A locust jumped up from the front. Han Qi, with his quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed it with his right hand. Then he held it with his fat hand like a bear's paw, and the locust was dead.

Such efficient killing methods made people happy when they saw them, and even Shen An was dumbfounded.

After Han Qi killed dozens of locusts, he felt pain in his back, so he beat his lower back and turned around.

"Why don't you do something, kid?"

Shen An squatted on the edge of the field and watched, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xiang Han, you... are too slow!"

"What's the meaning?"

Han Qi stretched out his hands, and his hands turned green.

I don't know how many locusts have been killed by these hands, so they can be regarded as meritorious.

Shen An sighed: "It's too slow."

"Do you have an idea?" Han Qi thought of Shen An's various pitfalls and felt happy.

Shen An said: "I have prepared some good things for the locusts and they will arrive later."

"What good stuff?"

Everyone was curious.

When it got dusk, a big car with no end at a glance came.

"Quack quack..."

Everyone turned their heads and looked, good guys, a mighty army of ducks is coming.

Shen An walked over and saw that the ducks in the cage were restless, so he said happily: "They must be starving, and they haven't been fed much along the way. It's too cruel. Anyone who comes is driven off, and , all the good duck farmers should pay attention, it will be like an army going out to attack, sweeping through areas one by one!"

Dozens of duck farmers nodded, promising that they would be able to complete the task.

Han Qi stood behind and said curiously: "Anbei, these ducks kill locusts? Are they missing?"

Shen An smiled and said, "You have underestimated these ducks. The duck breeds in the Song Dynasty are good, just wait and see."

The cage opened and the ducks jumped out one after another. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

"Ah lulu..."

A duck farmer stood in front, holding up a wooden stick. After getting off the car, the ducks formed an array like an army.

Everyone looked over and saw an endless army of ducks preparing to go out.

The carts have already returned, and they will bring more ducks again to spread out the locust-killing army across Jingdong Road.

"This... why do I find it so funny!"

The ducks looked serious, and Han Qi smiled and said, "If a duck were given a knife, I think it would be more impressive."

Hu Xicheng also thought it was funny, "Yes! It looks very solemn, but I don't like duck, otherwise with my cooking skills, I can make a good dish later."

Shen An turned around and said, "You will be reluctant to let go."

Hu Xicheng smiled. The last time he was in Zhending Mansion, if Shen An hadn't been there, he might not have been able to withstand the Liao people. Therefore, Shen An's kindness to him was similar to that of saving his life.

At this moment, Shen An was thinking about the ducks he would see in later generations.

Just one command, that power...

It’s so pleasing to the eye!

Everyone was looking at the duck farmer, even the farmers in the fields.

Some are laughing, some are silent.

The duck farmer suddenly pointed at the field behind him with a wooden stick and shouted.

"Kill!"

Damn it!

This cliffhanger is an unexpected shout.

Even Shen An couldn't help laughing.

Then the laughter ended.

A duck rushed out, and the tens of millions of ducks behind him were like an army charging into formation, running forward with the momentum of a dam releasing floods.

In an instant, thousands of ducks were galloping!
