Chapter 1503: Han Qi World 193 Decisive Battle 7
On the road leading to Jinyang, a cavalry team of thousands of people was slowly moving forward. The horseshoes hit the cement-cast ground, making a crisp sound. In the center of the cavalry was a golden carriage. Eight solid-colored tall horses were pulling an extremely huge carriage and slowly moving forward.
This is the carriage of His Majesty the Emperor of Han. The Emperor Gao Yuan accepted the appointment of the Grand Parliament and became the supreme commander of the general attack on Qin. The carriage started from Jicheng and headed towards Jinyang.
This huge carriage made Gao Yuan feel very inconvenient. He originally planned to set off from Jicheng, so that he could reach the front line in a few days. If he didn't want to do this, the government affairs hall felt that it would not be possible. The emperor naturally had to have the emperor's dignity. Moreover, this trip almost crossed the entire Han Dynasty. It was the time when the Han Dynasty showed its strength to its subjects. So such a dazzling and exaggerated huge carriage was released.
Even the eight selected famous grassland horses dragged such a carriage like a house, which was very difficult to move forward. Fortunately, the Han Dynasty has made a qualitative leap in car manufacturing technology. The emergence of rubber tires, as well as the large-scale use of wheel axles and balls, has greatly reduced the pressure on the car.
Gao Yuan only stayed in the car for a few days and couldn't help it. After leaving Tianhe County, he left the brigade's guards and this super cool carriage, and only took Yang Dasha. The two of them were wearing casual clothes and walked in front of the cavalry team.
Since entering Jinyang County, Gao Yuan's face has been not very good-looking. Compared with other places, Jinyang seems much more desolate. It should have been a green field, yellow and green, but it is all desolate.
"I'm afraid there will be not much harvest in Jinyang after autumn this year!" Yang Dasha, who was born in a farmer, shook her head and said, "How could this be the case? Although Jinyang has been fighting for a long time, the war has ended for a long time. Even if it is replanted, it will not be like this!"
Gao Yuan snorted without saying a word. Although the Han Dynasty is now well-built, it is based on agriculture. Gao Yuan has never forgotten this point. "Did you find that, even if you occasionally see someone working in the fields, it is mostly old, weak, women and children, and young and strong people can't see it. Where did they go?"
Yang Dasha shook her head.
"Your Majesty, is there an old farmer in front of me not replenishing seedlings? Let's go and ask, will you know."
The two rode their horses forward for a while and turned over and got off the horse. An old farmer in the Tian family straightened up and looked at them.
"Old man, you are replenishing seedlings!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"Are you going to Jinyang City, two guests?" The old farmer smiled and greeted him, "But I'm tired and thirsty. The old man has a herbal tea here. Let's drink some to quench your thirst, right?"
He lifted a large teapot on the ground, poured the water into the bowl, and handed it to Gao Yuan. Yang Dasha took the bowl first and drank it all in one gulp, "It's good!" he laughed.
The old man didn't notice this detail, took the bowl from Yang Dasha, and poured it over and handed it to Gao Yuan.
"How did the old man know that we were from Jinyang?" Gao Yuan took the bowl, but did not drink it immediately, but asked with a smile.
"Aren't you running towards Jinyang City now?" The old man sat on the ridge of the field with a smile, "It's so profitable there!"
"How do you know that Jinyang City is easy to make money?" Gao Yuan took a sip of tea, sat next to the old man and asked.
"Because I came back from Jinyang City!" The old man smiled and said, "Aren't our great man preparing to attack Daqin now? Tens of thousands of troops in the First Military Region gathered in Jinyang City. Now, when you go there, you can do whatever you want, which is better than digging food in the fields."
Gao Yuan tilted his head and looked at the old man, feeling very surprised. How could an old farmer in the village know so many things? "How did you know?"
"My son-in-law is a general, and he has brought tens of thousands of people!" The old man stroked his beard and said proudly.
Hearing this, Gao Yuan and Yang Dasha were really stupid. They brought tens of thousands of people, so they were the same commander, but the father-in-law of a commander was actually farming?
"I'm really disrespectful." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know who the noble son-in-law is. I'm traveling around the world and I'm quite familiar with the generals in the Han army. I don't know if I recognize the noble son-in-law?"
"His name is Jiang Fu." The old man said proudly.
Jiang Fu? Gao Yuan was a little confused. Yang Dasha leaned into his ears, "The new one was originally a battalion commander. This time when the Qin army came, all the outpost positions were lost. Jiang Fu led the first battalion soldiers to defend the fortress. Not only did he defend the fort, but the last battalion soldiers had nearly 300 people survived. The 20th Army suffered serious casualties. Jiang Fu has become a benchmark for the first military region, and Xu Yuan was particularly simple."
"So that's how it is." Gao Yuan nodded.
"Jiang Fu is the commander of the first division. Why did you still let you do such heavy work?" Gao Yuan asked.
"Well, I've been working all my life, so I can't get idle. Besides, I think today's situation will be in the second half of the year. I'm afraid the price of grain will grow rapidly. I've seen it along the way, and the fields are deserted."
"Yes, it's all gone, how could this happen?" Gao Yuan deeply felt the same.
"How can we not be deserted? The Qin people came here before. The army of more than 100,000 was destroyed. Later, although the Qin people were beaten away, the land was also abandoned. All the water conservancy facilities that Jinyang had finally built were destroyed. It was too late to replant them. But our Han wanted to counterattack. Everyone was busy making money. They all thought that they could make money. They could buy food at that time. But I heard from my son-in-law that our Han had just captured Chu. Chu was beaten to chaos and wanted to provide disaster relief. Then we wanted to attack Qin. I heard that Qin was worse than Chu.
There are so many people who cannot eat. Our emperor will definitely need relief. There are so many places in the world that need relief and food. It depends on our great men. The price of grain will not soar at that time! At that time, I am afraid that the money I earn will not be enough to buy food!" The old man shook his head repeatedly, "My land was originally rented to people for farming, but now they don't rent it anymore and go to the city to make money. The old man has been digging food in the fields all his life, but the fields are not deserted, so he brought the old woman back and at least he can make up some seedlings. How much can he harvest in the autumn? "
Gao Yuan nodded and turned to Yang Dasha and said, "Look. An ordinary old man knows the truth, but our officials in Jinyang don't understand. These fields are abandoned, and they are all the responsibility of local officials. After autumn, once the people are short of food, they will suffer."
Yang Dasha whispered: "I'm afraid it's not all the responsibility of the local officials. Commander Xu is responsible for the general offensive matters, and he will inevitably force all officials to shift their focus to the military. Besides, this is a military merit. Local officials can also think about it."
Listening to the two of them, the old man said in confusion: "I heard from you, you should be officials, right?"
Gao Yuan smiled, "Yes, we are also officials. Old man, thank you for your tea, say goodbye. Da silly!"
Yang Dasha knew how to take out a ten-yuan bill from her arms. "Old man, this is the tea money for you."
The old man smiled: "It's just a bowl of water, it's worth paying? The old man is not short of money, so he's exempted."
"Old man, please accept this money. When you meet Jiang Fu in the future, you will say that this money is given to you by someone named Gao Yuan." Gao Yuan laughed and walked up to the roadbed. He turned over and ran away with Yang Dasha.
Looking at the backs of the two, the old man held the ten yuan bill with a little depressed feeling. "I really don't want your money? Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan, this name sounds so familiar!"
It was not until half a day later that the old man who had finished work and returned home was on the road and saw the huge cavalry team along the way, the dazzling carriage and the flying yellow dragon flag that the old man suddenly realized that Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan, wasn’t that the name of the Han emperor that his son-in-law told him!
Holding the ten-dollar bill in his hand and looking at the huge carriage on the road, he fell to the ground and kowtowed continuously. Of course, he knew that there was no one in the carriage at this moment, but this did not prevent him from respecting that person.
The two cavalry rushed into Jinyang City. As the old man said, there were crowds of people everywhere inside and outside the city. Tens of thousands of troops were stationed here, and countless supplies were piled up like mountains. There were indeed too many opportunities to work, and it was easy to make money.
"Go to Xuyuan's headquarters." Gao Yuandao.
Yang Dasha took the lead and entered the center of Xu Yuan's First Military Region. Seeing Gao Yuan suddenly appear in front of him, Xu Yuan couldn't believe his eyes. The scout was always rewarding him. The emperor's carriage would have been half a day before he could enter Jinyang City. Why did the emperor appear in front of him now?
"Your Majesty!" he shouted.
Gao Yuan nodded calmly, "Xu Yuan and Ye Zhen stayed, the others went out and called the governor of Jinyang to me."
Xu Yuan and Ye Zhen looked at each other and saw a bad feeling in each other's eyes.
"Your Majesty, something strange happened in Qin State. We had already sent someone to inform you. Now it seems that I have missed it with you on the road." Ye Zhen smiled and broke the silence in the room, and smiled at Gao Yuan, who was sitting behind the big case with a calm face.
"What a strange thing?" Gao Yuan asked with a cold face.
"The King of Qin abdicated in Lu Chao, and Lu Chao announced his promotion to the emperor the next day, and he was the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty!" Ye Zhen laughed.
"If God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy. What's ridiculous about a guy who is about to be crazy?" Gao Yuan snorted. "If he wants to live a good life, let him live. Could it be that if he becomes emperor, our hundreds of thousands of troops will stop? "
"There is indeed no suspense in this battle." Ye Zhen smiled, but he exclaimed in his heart that something was wrong. What annoyed the emperor?
"Have the Jinyang County Magistrate has not come yet?" Gao Yuan shouted angrily.
Ye Zhen and Xu Yuan looked at each other. Now they could roughly guess that this matter was probably related to the magistrate of Jinyang County, but they were afraid that the two of them would not be able to get rid of it.
(I am really busy now. First, the new semester is about to start, and I have been inspecting the school below. Second, I have just taken on the position of physical education teaching and research staff, and I am about to hold the basketball league and football league in the district. Just the competition rules and order book are all things that have made me busy. Third, I am the king and will be finished soon. The Gunners are indeed preparing new books, and the new and old books are ready to be seamlessly connected, so I can only update one chapter in a day. This is only possible to sleep in the early morning every day. So please forgive me!)
Chapter completed!
