Chapter 1198: Continuing the Past and Forging the Future (88) The New Year's Bell (Next)
Genius remembers → Net, providing you with wonderful novel readings. On the way back to the Shanggu from Huining, Li Mingjun's mood completely relaxed. The anxiety and worries that had previously arisen about the uncertainty of the future disappeared in a night of conversation with Gao Yuan. He had to admit that the King of Han Gao Yuan had the kind of feeling that you would want to get close to when you meet, that subtle, natural and easy-going way, which made the people who got along with him feel like spring breeze. Li Mingjun also saw countless people and had seen those who tried their best to make themselves look easy to get close to, but compared with King of Han Gao Yuan, they could only be regarded as some clumsy performers.
What King Gao Yuan of Han showed was something that naturally existed deep in his bones, and he could not pretend to be able to pretend. At least Li Mingjun felt that if he pretended, he would definitely feel it.
The Western Zhao army will form an army, and the Eastern Zhao army will also form an army. It is impartial and is also the most fair explanation to the two Zhao division parties. Of course, Zhou Changshou will enter the political affairs hall of the Han Dynasty and become one of the political discussions. This is a reward for Zhou Changshou's work for the Han Dynasty over the years. The people of Western Zhao are unable to fight or compare with it.
However, Li Mingjun did not feel much annoyed, because the Han Dynasty's political affairs hall did not have the power as the chief ministers of other countries, not to mention that there were as many as five or six political affairs halls. Except for the Jiang Jiaquan who was superior to the superiors, everyone else was in charge of each other and influenced and restrained each other. Zhou Changshou's entry into the political affairs hall would not have much influence on him and Zhao Xilie.
Dong Zhao and Xi Zhao were about to lay off more than 200,000 troops and local guards. These people were also worried about Li Mingjun. If they no longer serve in the army and eat food, these people might disperse into bandits, but Gao Yuan's words gave him a reassurance.
The people's livelihood economy in Xi Zhao was severely damaged, and a large number of young and strong men were conquered as soldiers and forced to serve as people, leaving a large amount of land deserted, and in some places, dozens or hundreds of miles away, the layoffs would be distributed to a large piece of land free of charge, and the Han government would give them seeds, farm tools, and livestock for free to help them settle down and then live and work in peace. The implementation of these policies was something that the officials from all over the Han Dynasty had been familiar with. They had started to build Jishi City ten years ago.
Compared with Jishi County, which was completely reclaimed at that time, the land conditions in Zhao State are much better now. If you invest in that year, you will get rewards in that year.
"Mingjun, the plan for the year lies in spring. This spring is just here. Although it is still full of ice and snow and the cold wind, it takes only a few days to make spring bloom and all things revived, so we have to solve all the problems earlier. Let the people of Zhao be at peace and manage this land. If you miss the farming time, you will miss the year! My Han Dynasty has prepared a large amount of seeds, farm tools, and livestock. As long as the New Year bell is over, these things will be transported as fast as possible, so you have to plan earlier, and then start with your Shanggu County. Read the latest chapter in full text."
Thinking of Gao Yuan's words, Li Mingjun waved his fist hard. Next year, what he saw on this land will no longer be weeds and loess, and desolate. Instead, green crops extend from the front to the horizon. That is harvest, hope, and the basis for the people of Zhao to live a good life again.
Even if the State of Zhao is gone, as long as everyone lives better than before, then there is nothing left. There have been changes in dynasties and historical books.
This time, the Han Dynasty supported tens of thousands of stones of food. Not only could the army last for a while, but it could also open a porridge shed to give the civilians who were extremely poor and struggling on the brink of death a way out. As long as you survive this last period of time, everything would be fine.
Jinyang, Majiadian, and the Jinyang garrison in Xizhao are located.
With the issuance of the exercise order, troops stationed in Jinyang were continuously driven here, with tents running for more than ten miles. The entire Majiadian area was already martial law, and everyone was allowed to enter and not leave. The entire Majiadian was in a tense atmosphere.
In the central army camp, Zhao Xilie looked at the generals under his command with a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "The plan has been started, and there is no turning back. Brothers, whether we die or live depends on whether we can successfully complete this New Year bell plan. Now I order the second step of the New Year bell plan, to eliminate the traitors, and start."
"As for the order!" The dozen generals stood up suddenly, bowed to Zhao Xilie, turned around and strode out of the central army tent, turned over and walked towards his troops.
"Let's start here too!" Zhao Xilie sat down slowly and waved his hand.
The Qin people all installed manpower in the Zhao team, called it a liaison envoy to facilitate communication between the Qin army and the Zhao army and facilitate joint operations. In fact, it is a spy who monitors the Zhao army's movements. If the next action is smooth and sudden, these people must be removed, and these people on the surface are easy to deal with. The key is that Zhao Xilie did not know how many traitors these Qin liaison envoys developed in the Zhao army. The Qin people were easy to guard against, and the spies inside him were too hard to guard against.
"General Zhao doesn't have to worry too much." Cao Tianci, wearing a personal guard costume, smiled and said to Zhao Xilie: "You have a lot of spies and spies here. If you spell this net, you will be arrested. Those who escape by chance have nothing more than two ways out. One is to pretend to be deaf and dumb and take this opportunity to get rid of the Qin people. The second is to never repent and try to report to the Qin people. However, this time the general launched the New Year bell plan through exercises. The military camp was completely martial law. Outsiders did not know the inside story of the military camp. If these spies wanted to report the news, they had to sneak out of the camp. I had already cast another net on the periphery. Anyone who went out from here had only one word, die!"
"Any perfect defense will have its loopholes. We cannot fall in everything. How can I not worry? As long as one person escapes and sends a letter, our plan will face a catastrophe. Minister Cao and Lubin's Qin team are only dozens of miles away from Jinyang City. Once they get the news and enter Jinyang City in front of us, the New Year's bell plan will fail. What I worry most now is that in Jinyang City, your troops have only 3,000 people, but they have to face five thousand Qin troops. Once the city fails, everything will be over."
"Don't worry, I have always been deeply confident in the combat effectiveness of our Han army." Cao Tianci said with a smile on his face. There are more than Mu Qiu's three thousand troops in the city, and Yi Bin's National Security Bureau Operation Team has already sneaked into the city.
In the camp, not far from the Central Army's tent, Jintan was drinking a small wine with a plate of Zeergen and pig's ears. The steaming wine poured out of the copper pot nestled in the brazier. After taking a sip, it was hot and warmed from the depths of the dantian to the top of his head. As a special group of people in the Zhao army, his treatment has always been special. Even in the most difficult times, he has no shortage of fine wine and plenty of food. Of course, wine should be the best.
His mission is to monitor the movements of the entire Zhao army. Zhao Xilie did inform him of this exercise, but in his opinion, this was completely unnecessary. With the current ability of the Zhao army, even if the combat effectiveness is high, the only reason for their existence is to maintain pressure on the people in the country. It is enough to be able to plunder more resources from the territory that Xi Zhao is still under control. The current situation of Qin is indeed very bad. Those who send things like himself are considered to be in a bad position. If they are in China, it would be delusional to want to gain such enjoyment with their positions.
Thinking of this, Jintan couldn't help but feel that it would be a good thing to let Xi Zhao exist for more time. At least for himself, his work in the Zhao army is still effective, and he has developed a network to effectively monitor the Zhao army. These Zhao people often owe money and lack of supplies. It is too easy to buy them. Throwing a few bones to them is enough to make them lie in front of him. The only downside is that he has never pried open a crack among the top leaders of the army. Almost all the people Zhao Xilie uses are guys who are closely related to him. These people are either blood-related or brotherly, and it is difficult to buy them. After touching the wall a few times, Zhao Xilie was ridiculed by Zhao Xilie several times, Jintan gave up this effort and turned to find a way above the middle and lower levels. With these people, the effect is the same.
He picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it happily.
The curtain was suddenly lifted open, and a cold wind blew into his face, causing Jin Tan to shudder involuntarily. He was about to scold him, but his pupils suddenly contracted. With the cold wind, four fully armed Zhao soldiers were Zhao Xilie's personal guards.
"What do you want to do?" Seeing the four people unsheathed the steel knives, they actually held a short crossbow in their other hand, Jintan shouted with a stern look on their face.
The four of them took a step forward, and a tall man walked in with a cold wind, walked to Jintan, pulled over a small stool and sat down.
"I'll introduce myself. My name is Niu Teng. Now I'm on the job of the National Security Bureau of the Han Dynasty." The visitor smiled and grabbed the chopsticks from Jintan, who was dumbfounded by the wooden chicken, took a secret dish on his own and stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing it with a delicious taste.
"Han Kingdom, National Security Administration, Niu Teng?" Jin Tan stared at the guy who reported himself in front of him. When he looked at the four Zhao Xilie's personal soldiers who were fully armed and stared at him, he immediately understood everything.
"Zhao Xilie betrayed the Qin Dynasty!" He screamed.
Niu Teng laughed: "What are you calling? Where is this place? It's a military camp. Even if you scream, no one will come to save you. Hey, Jin Lianhui, why are your hands shaking?"
Jintan was not only shaking his hands, but his whole body was trembling.
Pour yourself a glass of wine from the small copper pot beside the stove, and Niu Teng drank it all: "Jin Lianhe, we are almost a colleague, I think you know the methods of our industry. Give me what I want and you can live. If you want to be a good man, I don't mind giving you this opportunity."
Niu Teng looked back at several soldiers and smiled, "I was in the Heishan Baishui in Donghu for a while, and there was nothing left to eat. In order to survive, once we killed a few guys who wanted to kill us, we roasted those guys to eat. Do you know where people are the best?"
The faces of several soldiers turned a little pale.
Niu Teng smiled, turned his wrist and a very thin knife appeared in his hand. "If this Jin Lianlian serves as a hero today, I can show my skills and let you have a long experience and taste fresh." As he said, Niu Teng took out a few paper bags from his arms, "This is the seasoning I brought from the big man, specifically for barbecue."
Jin Tan looked at the other party's malicious eyes and always turned around on a part of himself, and finally collapsed, "What do you want?"
"The downs you developed in the Zhao army, aren't you asking knowingly?" (To be continued.)
