If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

Xia Chen himself has no plans to be a city lord for the rest of his life. In his opinion, the purpose of building Wangxiang City is to create a safe and comfortable place for his family and friends to survive in the last days.

He is willing to take over the position of the city lord because he has indeed made great contributions to the construction of the city, and his reputation is high enough. No.

But no matter how much the city lord position is revered, Xia Chen only regards it as a profession, a job, since it is a job, there is a time to retire.

City lord has never been an easy job, Xia Chen thought, it would be fine when he was young, when he gets older, or the situation improves, he will definitely find a suitable person to succeed the city lord, and then go to grow flowers and fish Leisurely retirement.

As for what to pass on to his next generation, he never even thought about it, not to mention that he can't have children, and he doesn't plan to adopt Dong Ge'er, Nan Ge'er, and Young Mother's children, just talk about the hereditary system, except With a few exceptions, most emperors died on the throne.

Although he is not on the throne, he has no intention of being the city lord until he dies. This is something only a dedicated person can do. Anyway, Xia Chen thinks he doesn't have this kind of sentiment.

So he consciously began to change the thinking of his subordinates, and it might not work to directly say his ideas. Just look at the attitude of everyone when he proposed to go out this time.Loyal ministers who seemed to be ready to remonstrate at any time stopped him, the dizzy emperor, from being a demon.

But this time Xia Chen is determined to go out. He is also a super soldier who can fight and support. He is always protected in the rear. After a long time, he is really stuck in this position. I can't go anymore.

Looking at everyone's uncompromising expressions, Xia Chen was very calm. He asked, "You didn't let me go because you didn't feel safe?"

Meng Mingjun narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt something was wrong in his heart. He changed his mind suddenly and found a new reason - Wangxiangcheng had to keep people in charge.

But Sun Heihu nodded first, and said honestly: "No, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, how dangerous it is, you'd better stay in the city, be safe."

Xia Chen smiled instantly, and said, "Since that's the case, you really don't have to worry. I have already discussed this trip with Zijian, and he said he will ensure my safety."

Last night, he told Wen Shu in advance about the news that he was going to lead the troops. Wen Shu chose to support without hesitation. Anyway, in the opinion of his family, he is the safest around him.

Sun Heihu opened his mouth wide, Meng Mingjun's face darkened, and the others also sensed that something was wrong.

Xia Chen smiled and said, "Do you think Zijian can't protect me well?"

Everyone: "..."

Everyone is as quiet as a chicken, who dares to answer? !

Ordinary people can't get in touch with it, they have seen Wen Shu's skills.

Fly stiff!A zombie with such a high level, he hits two with one!He killed one with one move, and chased the other for thousands of miles to beat the zombie to death.

There are more than [-] regular soldiers in the Guard Legion, including countless masters and many strangers. None of them dare to be frivolous in front of Wen Shu. Occasionally, there are some who are not clear-headed. After being beaten half to death, the water in their brains is clear.

Doubt the force value of Wen Shu?

How many times can their small bodies withstand it!

Can't be bothered.

After taking out his fierce lover and intimidating everyone, Xia Chen succeeded in "persuading" him. He left the people in the room who were looking at each other in dismay, and hurried home to pack up his luggage, count his supplies, bid farewell to his family and prepare to leave.

The war in the Northland is urgent, and there is no time to delay. The meeting in the administrative hall ended in the morning, and everyone got busy.

According to the instructions sent by Wen Shu, the deputy army commanders who stayed behind counted troops, and those who stayed behind re-arranged the defensive city to maintain law and order.

The propaganda department put up a notice to inform the news that troops will be dispatched to the expedition, warning the public to pay attention to safety during this period and to do a good job of defense. Anyone who picks quarrels or violates the Wangxiangcheng City Defense Regulations will be severely punished.

The diplomatic department once again conducted final consultations with other bases to confirm that they can provide corresponding cooperation in terms of troop dispatch arrangements and material supply.

The logistics department and the military supply department are so busy that they mobilize so many materials at once, and it will take a lot of time to calculate and count them.

But no one dared to slack off, they knew that all the time now was being delayed by Fu Jian and his soldiers, and they couldn't afford to delay.

Fortunately, Wangxiang City's administrative agencies and military departments do not have those rigid regulations and lengthy procedures at all. With Xia Chen's order, they all started to run at high speed.

After the meeting in the morning, the decision to send troops was made. Half an hour later, the publicity announcement was issued. Two hours later, the Guard Corps reported the number of troops to be dispatched. The logistics department made minor adjustments to the list of materials already listed.

Xia Chen went home and packed up his things. In fact, he didn't have many things to pack. There was space and the gourd baby was there, and everything could be stuffed in. It was not too convenient to travel.

He went back to the Xia family's old house and told his family about the news that he was going to lead the army. Although his mother and sister-in-law were reluctant, they understood.

The barbarian massacre of Beitong City was too bad, and Yang Fan, the sufferer, was brought back by Xia Chen for a few meals. The Xia family, especially Mrs. Xia and Qiao Niang, felt sorry for this young man who lost his only relative. , He hated the barbarians even more.

Master Xia seemed to be remembering the days when he was a soldier, he took Yao'er's hand and told him carefully that the barbarians are cruel and inhuman, and the whole clan is a soldier, so you must not soften your heart easily, even to women and children.

The barbarians have the habit of raising human animals. The human animals are taken away from the people of the Da'an Dynasty. The children of the barbarians started from walking and herding, and they whipped more animals than their own sheep.

Master Xia seldom described these bad things in detail, and he was very worried that Yao'er would soften the hearts of those cruel and shapeless barbarians.

After all, no matter how you look at them, they are still human beings, not mutated and unconscious zombies, and those women and children look so weak and innocent.

Xia Chen kept all these in his heart, and didn't feel that his father was thinking too much.

The education he received since he was a child, the life that shaped his three views of personality, told him to protect vulnerable groups, including but not limited to women and children.

Even in the news, those war zones, when the artillery fire affects children, will be condemned by all aspects of the world.

But now, what they want to do is to exterminate the barbarian clan, which must include women and children.

But Xia Chen also knows clearly that he has no right to be soft-hearted, he is no longer alone, he bears the wealth and lives of more than [-] people in Wangxiang City, and the first thing he wants to protect is the personal safety of his own citizens.

"Father, I understand, don't worry."

Xia Chen held Master Xia's wrinkled hand back, feeling a little sore in his heart, but his belief became firmer.

He didn't stay at home for too long. He decided to go home after the meeting to make time for others to digest. It's time for them to accept the reality. He had to go back to the administrative office to make arrangements for the city management.

He personally led the troops to go out, and there must be someone temporarily waiting for the position of the city lord. Last night, he contacted Wen Shu in a single-line manner and discussed a charter on the personnel arrangement.

In the administrative office, Junior Brother Meng and Yi Shan can be said to be Xia Chen's most trusted and capable assistants because they entered the job early. In addition to various management affairs, they also served as managers of the Finance Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs respectively.

Other departments also have corresponding relatively outstanding talents in charge, who have been selected slowly over the years. After many tests, their loyalty can be guaranteed to a certain extent.

With these people around, Xia Chen felt relieved to travel, but because the senior management levels of them were not much different in terms of positions, he had to retain a chief steward to act as the acting city lord.

In the end, Meng Mingjun was appointed as the trustee, and Yi Shan was the assistant. He issued a written letter of appointment and stamped the seal of the city lord to ensure that Meng Mingjun could pass the government orders while he was away.

In terms of military affairs, Sun Heihu, who he trusted the most, was left behind. At first he was still a little reluctant, but Xia Chen talked to him privately, saying that he trusted him before handing over his parents and family to him, and asked him to guard Haowangxiang. city.

He was so moved that he slapped his chest loudly, and swore to God that he would protect Xia Chen's family and never let down his trust.

In addition to Sun Heihu, Xia Chen specially invited Zhen Niang to live in his house for a while, and Brother Nan and his wife also returned to the old house.

Zhenniang's supernatural powers are small and undetectable, and her exercise is not as loud as other aliens, so Wang Xiangcheng and even many people don't know that she is an alien.

At the beginning, Xia Chen specially warned those who knew about it, telling them not to speak out, and because Zhenniang had never done anything outside, gradually even these people were almost forgotten, and Zhenniang was also a stranger.

You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others. Most people in Wangxiangcheng are good, but people's hearts are changeable. Xia Chen dare not gamble with his family. Since he wants to leave, he must protect the safety of his family. Do it well, just in case.

Soldiers were ordered on the same day, and they set off early the next morning.

There are more than 3000 formal soldiers in the Wangxiang City Guard Corps. When Wen Shu left, because he left in a hurry and was on a rescue mission, he only brought [-] soldiers with him.

Xia Chen ordered 5000 soldiers and horses, plus [-] from Wen Shu's side, to make up [-] troops, accounting for nearly half of Wangxiang City's troops.

However, there are still more than 2 reserve soldiers in Wangxiang City, which is not a shortage of manpower, and it is not afraid that the defense force will be empty.

For the other bases, Yancheng base is also willing to send [-] troops, and Haiyuan base can only send [-] troops because of the heavy losses from the zombie wave last time.

The relationship between the major powers in the imperial capital was not on good terms. Xia Chen was worried that they would argue about the issue of sending troops, but the Fu brothers sang bad faces one by one, using both sarcasm and provocative flattery, forcing the other big forces to fight against each other. If the forces speak, they will send as many people as the general's mansion will send.

The Fu family is good at training troops, especially good at training large-scale troops. The General's Mansion is not the largest force in the imperial capital, but it is the force with the strongest combat effectiveness. The Fu family has more than 1 troops.

In the end, the General's Mansion sent [-] troops. Compared with other forces, the Imperial Capital sent [-] troops.

It's not that the General's Mansion doesn't want to send more people. If there are more people, other forces will be reluctant, and it will be worth the loss if they just repent.

A total of [-] troops were dispatched from the four major bases, and there were small and medium-sized bases scattered all over the place willing to fight. There were as many as a thousand people, as few as a few hundred, and there were also strangers who were willing to join alone.

All together, these small and medium-sized bases have also dispatched nearly [-] people.

These people will join the large army marching north, and go north to conquer the barbarians together.

The author has something to say: ah, the power went out when I was rushing to write the manuscript in the early morning. Could it be that too many people have snatched up the electricity? o(╥﹏╥)o
