Section 103 Chaos! Chaos! Chaos! (1)
But there are some things that you have done and found that they are incorrect but no longer look back. Maori Century Tai thought to herself a little depressedly, but since the lord has made a decision, he can only do his best to assist the lord in fulfilling his wish. Thinking of this, Maori Century Tai said resolutely: "Master, then when are you going to start the plan?"
"Well, I want to implement it as soon as possible. We have fully grasped the information about Kamchatka and Treasure Island. There are very few troops in the Tang people in these two places. I think we can complete the occupation of these two islands within a week." Ritsuhara Yamakawa said in a deep voice: "Mori, are everything in China ready?"
"Returning to the lord, the immigrants have been mobilized twice, everything has been prepared, all civilian ships have been mobilized, and it is estimated that 15,000 to 18,000 people can be transported at one time, and all kinds of supplies are also transported to the docks as planned. Our intelligence personnel have also sneaked into the two islands as planned, and the offensive and operation routes have also undergone many simulation drills, just waiting for you to issue orders."
Although they did not agree with the plan of establishing the Yuanshanchuan, the Maori Century Tai has always implemented the tasks announced by the Lord. Before planning the attack on Kamchatka and Treasure Island, the two had discussed the follow-up measures needed to be taken after military occupation of the two islands. The two unanimously agreed that a large number of local landless farmers must be moved to these two places in the shortest time to quickly consolidate their rule in these two places, and the population must exceed the number of local Tang people. Only in this way can the two places be ensured that they are firmly controlled by their own side.
"Very good, the time is ripe, it's time for us to pick these two ripe fruits." Nodded with satisfaction, Rihara Shanchuan could not express his expectations and yearning on his face. "Peeling Kamchatka and Treasure Island is only the first step in our long journey in the future. We and people must fight for more survival land and space for our descendants, and this goal will never be changed."
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the latest "Imperial News", the northern grain area of the Empire has a large area of drought and poor harvest, and some areas have no harvest. The disaster situation in the north is severe!"
"Come on, come on, "Daily News". If you want to know the latest food situation, please see today's "Daily News". Chang Gui, the county magistrate of Wuhu County, said that a significant reduction in grain production in Wuhu area is a foregone conclusion. Wuhu area will not be able to supply enough food to the imperial capital and the north this year. For details, please see today's "Daily News"!"
"The Buddhist and Taoist families held a Dharma meeting to pray that the drought will end soon. Experts commented on the causes of climate abnormalities in the East Continent this year, and analyzed the climate trend next year and its impact on agricultural production next year and its countermeasures. Myanmar has once again set off a development boom, and the whole Myanmar highway is progressing rapidly. Su Minshun, director of the Northwest Construction Agency, claimed to the outside world that the extension of the whole Myanmar highway has hope that it will always connect to the southern business roads of the mainland. All the imperial business situation is in Business Weekly! Mr., come one? A silver coin."
"The Milanese navy is fully mobilized, the Japanese navy is constantly moving, and the maritime situation in the East Ocean is unpredictable. The Mainland Times commented on the reasons for the tension in the East Ocean; the Sanjiang war situation is still fierce, and the Northwest Army and the Sanjiang army join forces to fight against the Machikhan invasion; the Japanese leader Yihara Shanchuan said that he wanted to negotiate with the Kingdom of Dodon on the status of the Crescent Peninsula. The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Dodon to the Empire expressed his refusal to negotiate with the invaders. Please pay attention to the Mainland Times today for details!"
Although it was already midsummer, the weather in the imperial capital still continued to be high. The flow of Yinlongquan spring in the palace, which has never decreased in the past century, seems to have become much smaller. The severe drought has affected the basic life of the people in the entire imperial capital. Although the Fan River has not stopped flowing, the water volume of the river flowing through the imperial capital has decreased by two-thirds compared with the normal year. Many large ships that rely on water life have to stop sailing because of too deep water. Even some pleasure boats in the city have to choose some deep water sections to stop, and they cannot wander around to attract customers as before.
The water use of residents in the city has also been affected to a certain extent. Fortunately, the lifeblood of the empire, Fanjiang, flows by, and the water use of domestically can be basically guaranteed. The scorching sun seems to be no different from the previous month. Every day when you get up, the sun seems to have already hung in the sky, without a trace of clouds, only the golden crow in the sky exudes endless heat. The weeping willows by the river have long been roasted yellow, and the green willows of the past have also lost their vitality.
The teahouse by the river was filled with people who were so hot that they were soaked in the heat. They waved their sleeves and some people who were not so particular even showed their red chests. Only by the river seemed to be able to barely feel a hint of cool breeze. No matter what they did in this life, it was a kind of suffering. Only by lying on the river with their clothes open and holding a teapot and drinking a cattle seemed to relieve the heat.
"Have you heard that? A plague broke out in Heshuo, and many people died. Now a large number of refugees are rushing towards the imperial capital and the south. I heard that the army has come out to block the passage to the east. Alas, this year is really unlucky, and all kinds of bad things are gathered together." Linjiang Qingmingju is a well-known teahouse on the banks of the Fanjiang River. The first floor is mostly individual tourists, or waiting for people to sit. The second floor is the Linjiang lobby, which is open dozens of meters along the river. The river breeze is flying, and the summer heat disappears. It is a good place for guests to talk about business. As for the third floor, it is a separate private room, but the price is much more expensive. Those who can go up to the third floor are not those who are afraid of spending money. They are either rich or noble, and no one can go.
The lobby is full of the river. The guests in groups of three or three have their own business circles and friends circles. A low brocade screen and a pot of green bonsai separate the table from the table, which does not affect the vision, but can also play a psychological isolation role, killing two birds with one stone.
"Who did you hear?! If there really is a plague, it would be amazing! Do you still remember the plague we were young? How many people died in the neighborhoods around us? The bodies pulled out by carriages every day were piled up into mountains. Why do these refugees want to run to the imperial capital? Don't let these people flow into the imperial capital." After eating, the rat-bearded man closed the folding fan and shouted nervously.
"Shhh", looked around, and the yellow-faced businessman who opened the conversation was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly lowered his head and signaled his companion to whisper: "Don't fucking yell there, okay? I only heard that, who knows whether it is true or not? I'm just kindly reminding you, asking you not to go to those yards. I heard that the yards are now buying fresh goods from Heshuo. If you get infected with these plagues, it will only happen in a few days. If you don't get it well, you will be in a life of misery."
"Stop scaring me wherever you can scare me. Are the people in the yard not afraid of being infected with the plague?" The rat-bearded man was obviously guilty and shouted with a harsh and cowardly look on his face.
"Hmph, do you know how cheap women in Heshuo are? They are cheaper than ordinary slaves. If it were you who do this business, wouldn't you do it? Besides, not everyone is involved in the plague, so won't they choose?" The yellow-faced businessman curled his lips disdainfully and said sarcastically: "But some people are not lucky, they will meet them when they walk."
His face turned blue, and the rat-bearded merchant still had a hard mouth: "That's the worst thing I can do is to avoid these places during this period."
"Is that right? I'm afraid that some people can't bear the temptation. I heard that there was a fresh young apprentice, and I couldn't help but drool and ran away. But I heard from my sister-in-law that you haven't been home for a few days." The yellow-faced businessman unceremoniously exposed his old friend's background.
"Uh, at worst, I won't go from today." The Rat Whisper Merchant turned his head aside in anger.
"This is what you said. Don't blame me for not reminding you that there is no help when I get involved in the plague." The yellow-faced businessman was probably very worried about his business partner and reminded him again.
"Didn't it mean that the Kamans occupied the Black Mountains and Longquan in the northern part of Heshuo? Why did a plague break out again?" The rat-bearded man deliberately changed the topic.
"Hmph, it was the damn Kaman people who occupied Heishan and Longquan. I heard that they were plundering grain in Heishan and Longquan and drove away the local people. In addition, the local people didn't know where they heard that the imperial capital had transported a large amount of disaster relief food from Jiangnan. It was also rumored that the five lakes had a bumper harvest of grain, so these people rushed to the east and south. Now it is said that Hejian and Jinzhong were in chaos, and there were refugees everywhere, and they all joined forces with the refugees who ran from Longquan Heishan to think that
The migration east to south was probably to find a way out, but the caravan didn't dare to go there at all. The refugees robbed whatever they saw. Taiping scholars were probably going to be finished. Unlike before, they could barely pass through, and now they can't control the situation at all. I heard that even the city of Hejian was robbed." The yellow-faced businessman sighed: "Zhu Laoer's caravan and I were also looted in Jinzhong City. Fortunately, there was no problem with the people, otherwise the family members would not have eaten it."
"Oh, I think Heshuo was a good place that our empire could count a few years ago. Why did it become like this in just a few years?" The rat-bearded man also sighed a little, "It's all those damn Taiping scholars who are harming the country and the people. We have made a good fortune in Heshuo, and our supply of goods has been cut off and business is getting worse and worse. If this continues, we can only ask for advice."
