Crossing town house man and wife
160 Chapter 160, the epidemic...
That night, Wu Ming didn't leave again, and after having supper with Yan Heng, he fell asleep with his neck crossed.
When Yan Heng went to Prince Xuan's mansion to kill and set fire, Wu Ming was also killing people, and the one he killed was the backer of the Zhou family who had been silenced by Yan Heng.
Perhaps it is the deliberate control of the Yin Division. The monks here all have two swords, and their cultivation level is similar to that of the monks in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.It didn't take much effort for Wu Ming to destroy all the monks in a yard humanely.
Before he could continue to destroy the corpse, the same life lock on his body became abnormal. Wu Ming hurriedly left the stall in his hand and rushed to rescue Yan Heng. Only when he got there did he find that the merchant ghost was also there.
But it was also because Wu Ming failed to deal with it cleanly. The monks who were attracted by the chaos in Prince Xuan's mansion inspected the mansion, and soon found signs of monks' fighting skills in another place.Comparing the two phases, the investigators attributed the incident to the monks' internal fighting, thinking that some force had invited an expert to kill the most powerful competitor, Prince Xuan.
Yan Heng didn't get rid of the suspicion, but the monks didn't care about him and the manpower he brought. What they cared more about was whether Yan Heng was backed by powerful monks.On the contrary, it was the Empress Dowager Xiang who sent someone over to inquire the next morning, obviously suspicious of Yan Heng.
Wu Ming was still sleeping soundly at that time, and Yan Heng didn't let anyone disturb him, so he got up quietly and settled the matter by himself.
By the time Wu Ming got up from sleep, the visitor had already been dismissed by Yan Heng.
Yan Heng didn't hide it from Wu Ming, and when he had lunch with him, he briefly described the current situation.
Wu Ming was very serious when he listened, Yan Heng thought he had some idea, and never waited for him to finish speaking, but Wu Ming directly turned to the irrelevant topic.
"Find me two bags of rice and white noodles, and some bacon. You don't need too much. It's enough for one person to carry."
Yan Heng was taken aback, "Why do you want these?"
"Take it to deceive people." Wu Ming found that there was too much ambiguity when he said it, and quickly explained, "Didn't I sneak into the victims? Since you came here, I have disappeared every now and then. If I don't find some reason, I must It's going to be suspicious."
"Are you going to use food as an excuse?" Yan Heng's heart moved, and he suddenly realized.
"The most lacking thing for the victims is food." Wu Ming nodded, "A while ago, they were able to dig wild vegetables and set traps to catch some small animals such as hares and mountain rats to satisfy their hunger. They have almost eaten, and if they want to get food again, they have to go into the mountains. If they have the courage and ability, they will not become disaster victims. I thought, take some food back, and say that I stole it from a rich family—— - You have to step on the plate and explore the way to steal things, and the disappearance can be explained.”
Wu Ming has been hanging out among the victims of the disaster for a while, but he didn't stand up and act as a leader. He only made friends with a few ambitious and prestigious guys, secretly induced and supported them, and then used them to win people's hearts. Gather hands.
As food dwindles, those who can find food and provide food will become the backbone of the disaster victims, with more and more prestige and voice. When the time is right, they can raise their arms and rise up.
And this opportunity is the moment when despair comes completely.
Right now, most of the people still have extravagant hopes for the emperor in Xianyang City, and many people have not yet reached the point of desperation, so even if someone instigates them, they will not easily take risks.
Wu Ming was not in a hurry either.
After getting the so-called prophecy that the end of the world is coming from the Shang ghost, he calculated it using the theory of quantity and energy of later generations, and the deduced result was almost the same as the date predicted by the Shang ghost. As long as there were no sudden changes, he would be here It takes a month or two without worrying about being killed by natural disasters.
To this day, Wu Ming has long since lost his passion for helping the world and saving people, and he has no sympathy for the common people in this mustard seed.
He will not let others die for him for no reason, nor will he take other people's lives on his own nosyly.
In the final analysis, it just answered the lyrics: There has never been a savior in this world, and it does not rely on gods and emperors. If you want to create happiness, it depends entirely on human beings.
If you can't stand up by yourself, you can only be dragged forward by others. Even if the person who is pulling you does not let go, you will be trampled under the feet of others, trampled to death.
After lunch, Wu Ming didn't leave immediately, and collected a bunch of jade articles from the princess mansion to supplement Yan Heng's amulets.
After last night's battle, Yan Heng no longer thinks this thing is a burden, and instead asks Wu Ming to make a few more copies and prepares to distribute them to his bodyguards.
Wu Ming didn't refuse, but he wasn't as serious as when he made the jade talisman for Yan Heng. He just asked Yan Heng for five more belts, and sewed four pieces of jade talismans on the front, back, left, and right sides of each belt and it was done.
After re-arming Yan Heng, Wu Ming gave him a few more bullets and helped him maintain the used firecracker.
After finishing all the trivial matters, Wu Ming and Yan Heng had dinner together, and then they picked up a bag of grain and two lamb legs that Yan Heng had prepared for him, and got up to leave the city.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Wu Ming walked into a camp where the victims of the disaster gathered together outside the city, and handed over the food and leg of lamb he had brought back to the leader of the camp, and asked him to distribute it to everyone in the camp.
The leader of this camp is Wu Ming's favorite one. He can speak well and win people's hearts. He has the demeanor of Mr. Chen back then.It's a pity that this person's vision was limited by his background just like Chen's. Nine times out of ten, he won't be able to become Emperor Zhu.
Of course, Wu Ming didn't really want to praise him to the point where he promised everything, but he just used it when needed, and then he went back to the road, bridge to bridge, the two have nothing to do with each other.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, the inside of Xianyang city was calm, but the outside of the city was lifeless.
The number of victims who ran out of food has changed from some to the majority. Coupled with the chaotic and dirty living environment and unclean water sources, some people soon contracted serious diseases, which spread and became epidemics.
Originally, the imperial court and the gentry in Xianyang City all showed an attitude of indifference to the victims outside the city. Once the epidemic broke out, everyone in the city immediately took action, but this action was not disaster relief and epidemic prevention, but It is to send people to blow away the victims who can still walk, and drag all the victims who cannot walk out to kill them.
Although this is not the real Qin Dynasty, the people's memories are still in the Qin Dynasty. Because of the first emperor's act of burying Confucianism and burning books, the people are very sensitive to the killing of Confucians.As soon as they saw the officials and soldiers digging holes outside the city, some sensitive victims instinctively panicked.When the officers and soldiers began to arrest people and even kill people directly, the victims immediately panicked, and some timid ones collapsed, collapsed under the intimidation of the officers and soldiers, and were trampled to death by the fleeing victims around them.
The unarmed and defenseless victims could only be driven out of the camp amidst howling and wailing, without even having time to clean up the last remaining belongings.
But the manpower of officers and soldiers is also limited. Compared with the disaster victims, the ratio of one to one hundred is not even reached. What's more, they themselves are afraid of contracting the plague, so they only drive the victims to the area designated by the Shangguan to take care of them and wait for other people. officials took over.
According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, leaving the place of origin without authorization is subject to punishment, and these people must at least be sent back to their place of origin.But if the law can still be enforced, these people will not have the opportunity to leave their hometowns and gather outside Xianyang City.
Before death, everyone is equal.
Natural disasters will not let you go just because you are an aristocrat, you are an official, you are rich, and you live in a better place than others.After the earthquake and tsunami, the government in the disaster-stricken area no longer exists, and the original officials died and fled, so how can they control the victims.There are also government places that do not want to take care of them for one reason or another, and let a group of disaster victims gather in Xianyang.Some officials and their family members have become part of the disaster victims. They even lost all the things that can prove their identities. They can only be driven out and buried together with ordinary people.
No matter what the original identities of these people are, at this moment, they only have one common identity——
disaster victims.
On the day when Xianyang City sent officers and soldiers to expel the victims, Wu Ming was also among the victims. Seeing that the victims had no hope, he prepared to incite the leaders to encourage the victims to fight to the death.
But Wu Ming had just contacted the preliminary manpower, and before he had time to make more detailed arrangements, a bloody army appeared outside Xianyang City.
Wu Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw the big flag with the characters of Chu waving in the wind in the army.
Chu Jun? !
No, the state of Chu is long gone, this should be the land of Chu...
By the way, Mrs. Xiang!
Wu Ming took a closer look, and sure enough, he found the big flag with Xiang character near the Chu character flag.
Is it necessary to repeat the conflict between Chu and Han at the end of Qin Dynasty?
Wu Ming scratched his chin and watched the excitement with great interest.
This army has at least tens of thousands of people, with black heads and blood-red robes, it looks very terrifying.The garrison on the city and the people outside the city were all terrified, but Wu Ming didn't care much.He was thinking about how to pry open the city gate, but the arrival of this army saved him a lot of effort.With them taking the lead, the victims' damage would be much smaller.
Of course Xiang's army is here to help Xiang, and the most famous Xiang in Xianyang City is the Queen Mother in Xianyang Palace.
Obviously, this army came to help Xiang's mother and son.
At least on the surface, it must be so. As for whether they will cross the river and tear down the bridge after the help, and replace it, that is a matter of later.
The defenders on the city wall obviously thought so too, but their superiors obviously didn't intend to sit on the same boat with the Queen Mother Xiang.As soon as he saw Xiang's army appearing, he immediately ordered the drawbridge on the moat to be pulled up, and the city gate, which had only been opened at the corner gate, was completely closed.
Even if Xiang's army rested on the spot and did not show any signs of entering the city, and only sent a general to lead a small team of about a hundred people to the moat, the defenders on the city refused to put down the drawbridge and open the city gate to let them Enter.
The leading general tried his best to talk, but the defenders on the city ignored it.A young general behind the general soon lost his patience, bent his bow and set an arrow, and swished two arrows at the iron lock on the suspension bridge.
But Xianyang City is not just paper. The iron locks on the suspension bridge are made of fine steel that has been tempered for thousands of years. Even two arrows can be shot through.
Before the young general could make any further moves, the general in front had already held him down, not allowing him to be arrogant again.
Wu Ming in the distance couldn't help but sneer.
Different time and space, the same Xiang.
Even without the overlord of Chu, Xiang's domineering and arrogant habits will inevitably be inherited.
When Yan Heng went to Prince Xuan's mansion to kill and set fire, Wu Ming was also killing people, and the one he killed was the backer of the Zhou family who had been silenced by Yan Heng.
Perhaps it is the deliberate control of the Yin Division. The monks here all have two swords, and their cultivation level is similar to that of the monks in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.It didn't take much effort for Wu Ming to destroy all the monks in a yard humanely.
