Shi Wei, one of the veterans of Qingshandun, was sitting in his field and sighing.

His home is much better now than when Liang Tong managed Qingshandun.

It turned out that there was filth and domestic garbage everywhere in the pier. However, He Xuanqiang ordered everyone to remove all the garbage and clean the pier. At the beginning, the brothers in the pier were still puzzled, so why should they clean it? But after the real cleaning and living, they found that it was much more comfortable.

Of course, this is only one aspect.

Since He Xuan did not deduct any military pay, after killing the Qing soldiers, he also distributed ten taels of silver to each person, so the soldiers in Dun had a lot of better life.

For example, the Shi Wei family used to eat black steamed buns and often couldn't eat enough.

Now, at least I can eat enough, and occasionally I can eat some brown rice.

Shi Wei also decided to pull a new cloth for the wife at home during the Chinese New Year. The woman hadn't pulled a new cloth for a long time.

Shi Wei has two children, his son is called Hutou and his daughter is called Xiniu.

Hutou is eight years old and Xiniu is six years old, both of which are just the right age.

However, just as his life was enjoying and becoming more and more exciting, a locust plague suddenly occurred.

Although the locusts are just a small one, a child can easily catch more than ten people to play with.

But once this kind of thing starts to make trouble, it will be aborted, and the locust plague will be thousands of miles away.

Shi Wei called his wife Li to go to the field together. He could catch a few locusts and keep a little more millet. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Are they about to encounter a locust plague? How many of the four people in the family are going to starve to death?

Looking at the thousands of locusts in the field, and there will definitely be more locusts in the future.

Shi Wei just wanted to cry at this time.

An emotion called despair is spreading.

"Oh, I really hope that if you say that you can do it, you can really make the locusts die." Shi Wei sighed: "Otherwise, we really have nothing to do."

"But, it's too difficult to let the locusts die, it's hard, it's impossible to do it." Shi Wei's wife Li shook her head and said. Although He Xuan made a bet with everyone and said she wanted to cure locusts, she still felt that it was really a day-to-night talk, and it was unrealistic.

As he was talking, he saw He Xuan appearing in front of him.

I saw that He Touter seemed to be burying something somewhere not far away.

What is the boss doing?

Do you want to greet me?

Shi Wei and Li looked at each other and were about to find He Touer, but He Touer buried the things and turned around and left.

At this moment, a scene that surprised Shi Wei appeared.

The locusts in the ground actually began to beating wildly. Before they could beat for a few moments, they suddenly stopped moving. They pinched one carefully and saw that this one was dead.

Shi Wei and his wife Li picked up a few more locusts and found that they were all dead!

Thousands of locusts in the entire field suddenly died in a short period of time. This scene was indescribable.

Shi Wei and his wife Li looked at each other in surprise.

They have never seen such nonsense.

why is that?

Could it be that Mr. He is a god from the sky. Will the locusts die when he stands there?

He Touer, he really did what he said! Use humans to cure locusts!

How is this possible!

...

In 1639 AD, the end of the 12th year of Chongzhen, this locust plague in autumn caused a huge disaster.

There was a locust in the northwest, and I even arrived at Xuanfu Town.

The entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty was shrouded in locust plague.

But in ancient times, locusts were not considered an ordinary insect plague, but a kind of god called the locust god, which represents the heaven and the punishment is imposed.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen, the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also issued a crime edict to himself. He went to the Temple of Heaven to read this crime edict, hoping that God could recover the wrath of heaven. Then even if he issued a crime edict, it would be useless. If the locust plague should be caused, it would still be the same.

A thousand miles away continues to be lost.

During the Ming Dynasty, it was originally rich in the south and poor in the north.

In addition, it encountered the Little Ice Age, and the north was cold and drought.

Now, there are more victims.

If you eat Guanyin soil, tree bark, and you can't digest these things, your stomach will naturally have one way to die.

There are also a lot of people who can't survive anymore, so they follow Li Zicheng to do it.

When Li Zicheng came out of Shangluo Mountain, he actually brought two or three thousand people. However, after the locust plague, the number of victims increased. His troops immediately rolled like snowballs, and they rolled to 100,000 people.

On Qingshandun, there are Gushan Military Fort, Fengyuan Military Fort, Baizhang Military Fort and Huangniu Military Fort next to it.

This time, there were locust plagues, and there were disasters everywhere in the north, so naturally, their four military forts could not escape.

A lot of grains that are about to be harvested were eaten directly by locusts, and even the grains were not left.

Such consequences are barely hungry for soldiers who have food and salary, and can survive. However, for many farmers in the four major military forts, they are suddenly forced to a dead end.

At this time, everyone was surprised to find that there was no locust in Qingshandun, at the junction of the four forts. Occasionally, some locusts from other areas flew to this place and died immediately. Later, the other locusts dared not approach here and flew away on their own initiative.
