Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6581 Natural and man-made disasters

Perennis was stunned for a moment, and then he instantly realized that compared to other elite talents, the danger of the corpse feast is too great. If the demon is disintegrated and used up, he will not die, but the corpse feast is extremely dangerous. The poison of being famous is endless, so it is better not to mention it.

"Put Jiang Guang aside for now. His explosive power is due to a special reason. Just let others not follow suit." Perennis glanced at Letas and said casually.

"That's right, it makes sense." Letas didn't delve into what Perennis said before. He is a smart man, and there are some things that he shouldn't know. He also thinks it's better not to let himself know. Okay, I can live more comfortably this way.

"Let the veterans from various countries continue to delay. Our three empires will be ready immediately. Kushan will soon transfer the energy." Perennis thought for a while and warned again. Now the three empires are in full swing in East Africa. Step up construction.

"Actually, I'm worried, will there be another accident?" Laitas said with a serious look, "After being cursed by the world consciousness, our luck is always a little bad when facing inhuman creatures, so it is inevitable There will be some worries.”

Perennis nodded when he heard this, but said calmly, "Luck is only one of the influencing factors. There is only so much that world consciousness can do. After being knocked unconscious, the remaining instincts can only reach That's the extent of it. As long as we do our best, luck can't change the outcome. What we consider is the loss afterwards, not whether we can beat it."

Letas nodded after hearing the words. Perennis' words were still worthy of trust. After having this guarantee, Letas took Perenis' weapon and handed it to Rodon, and then continued to start his work. , there are a lot of things teleporters have to do every day.

In Chang'an, Chen Xi looked at the East African intelligence compiled to him every day with a somewhat gloomy expression. The movement of the locust plague was really too great, and it was already time to count the days and wait for the third wave of super locusts to take off. Once the super locusts took off, the three It would be meaningless for the great empire to do anything else locally.

Even if the locusts that took off accounted for only one-tenth of the local locusts, their scale would reach an astonishing 400 billion, which really drove Chen Xi crazy.

"Have people send Shengzhi from Youzhou to East Africa, and help Rome complete the construction of the magic circle as soon as possible. Well, let Xianhe follow him, solve the problem in East Africa first, and then start the logistics industry. It doesn't matter if it's too late. These ten days." Chen Xi read the urgent letter sent by Guan Yu and responded. After all, delaying at this time will not solve any problem.

"Then there is the Kushan Empire. They will provide follow-up energy losses. In this case, our original plan can also be adjusted." Guo Jia looked at the information sent by Severu. The Kushan Empire has already They gave a reply, but did not say how to solve it. They just said that when the time comes, they will release enough energy to East Africa, and the Han Dynasty and Rome can use it as they please.

"You didn't say how it was delivered?" Chen Xi asked curiously. The distance between Guishan and East Africa in the west is almost two thousand kilometers, which is not a small distance.

"It's not determined yet. The Kushan Empire is also gradually strengthening its management. Many large-scale secret arts have been broken down into several links and finally summarized and combined. So all our people can understand is only a certain part." Guo Jia shook his head. Said, "But Vesudeva I dared to say this in front of Rome, so there should be no need to worry about energy reserves."

The face of the empire is still very important. Since Vesudeva I said this, he must be absolutely sure in this aspect.

"Then put the protective measures in place and use them directly in case of an accident." Chen Xi said with a bit of coldness with his eyes half-closed. He was originally engaged in development, but due to the locust plague, he had to shelve all his gadgets. Even now, Chen Xi has to focus most of his attention on the locust plague, which is simply unbearable for Chen Xi.

"There are still seven days left before we start to deal with the locust plague?" Chen Xi suddenly asked.

"Yes, once Kushan's reserve energy arrives in East Africa and the magic circle is fully activated, all the existing methods of the Han Dynasty and Rome will be used to completely eliminate the Locust Sky as quickly as possible." Guo Jia looked over After two clicks, he gave his own judgment.

"That's three days before our estimated third round of locust plague takes off on a large scale. That time can still keep up." Chen Xi counted the days and felt that the situation was not very bad.

"Zichuan, I think you should not think about completely solving the locust plague. The third round of locust plague has actually begun to take off at this time, but it is not on a large scale." Zhuge Liang stopped what he was doing and said to Chen Xi, "However, Considering the scale of the locust plague in East Africa, even if it is a so-called non-large-scale locust plague, its scale is far greater than that of an ordinary locust plague."

Chen Xi was silent for a long time after hearing this. This was a fact that could not be denied.

"We must prepare for disaster relief now." Zhuge Liang said concisely and concisely.

"Rescue, we are rescuing. Bingtang and others have been mobilized from Jiangnan and are heading to Central Asia via the Northwest Passage." Chen Xi said with a bit of helplessness.

"Major aristocratic families are now constantly sending people to Xinzhou to find ways to connect food and grass. Although each family has not reached the point of being exhausted, as the rice in the rice vat bottoms out, the people under his command will become more and more "Crazy." Li You said with an indifferent expression, "A large-scale turmoil has broken out in Central Asia, and the naturalized population under the rule of the Han Dynasty has now begun to attack each other."

Chen Xi glanced at Li You, "What do you mean by starting to attack each other? What do you mean by being so conservative? Do you really think I don't know what is happening in Central Asia?"

"The bandits naturally reunited around the original Central Asian bandit leaders and began to attack the wealthy families stationed there." Li You didn't care about Chen Xi's eyes and continued to talk on his own. Chen Xi remained silent after hearing this. .

"We are all like this, where is Roma?" Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia and asked.

"Civil strife broke out in Spain. Due to the amount of taxation in Gaul, the local Germans, Schili, Marcomanni, etc. have gathered together and had large-scale conflicts with Roman citizens." Guo Jia looked on. Without even looking at the information in hand, he directly responded.

"Actually, the local barbarians are not to blame for this incident. The Roman citizens confiscated all the local people's seeds and grains, and they were not prepared to let these people survive. These barbarians couldn't bear it anymore and rebelled. Although the Roman high-level officials received accurate information, Understand the essence of the matter, but choose to stand behind the Roman citizens," Guo Jia said with some admiration.

"Pompianus doesn't care?" Chen Xi asked with a bit of shock, "What's more, the tax rate should be public, right? Just like in the Eastern Province, at least there is an accurate rate."

"Zichuan, are you sure you don't know the reason?" Li You glanced at Chen Xi and asked. Chen Xi was silent for a while and couldn't help but sigh.

How could he not know how distorted the order issued by Pompianus was? Chen Xi could still estimate, but Chen Xi did not expect that Roman citizens could be so crazy. The level of oppression was too outrageous. Chen Xi originally thought Taking 80% of the nominal amount is crazy enough, but with the strength of Rome, such a forced collection can still be stabilized by relying on its own strong strength.

As a result, what is happening in the Roman Empire now is no longer levying 80% of the official amount and allowing farmers to secretly hide some of their grain, but actually collecting it all.

"I always find it incredible. Normally, if the cost of taxation exceeds the benefits brought by taxation, then it will be impossible to continue taxing. The Roman Empire can actually levy such a tax." Chen Xi said to himself with some doubts. .

"You are only considering the normal situation. This is not a normal situation now. Even if the cost of taxation is infinite, people still have to survive." Li You said coldly. He has always had his deepest feelings about the evil of human nature. understand.

"What about the Eastern Province?" Chen Xi asked with some curiosity.

"Ganasis is indeed a capable minister. Although taxes have not reached the agreed level, the eastern province has basically maintained stability. Even if there is some unrest, it has not affected the overall situation." Guo Jia quickly answered.

After listening to these things, Chen Xi has constructed the current general situation of the Roman Empire in his mind. How should I put it, it is very bad. At least the riots in Western Europe and Gaul have become a foregone conclusion, and they are different from the previous ones that cannot be defeated and dispersed. If you can't escape this time, you will starve to death.

In this way, the scale of the unrest in Rome may be very large. If it cannot be suppressed directly at the beginning, it may happen, and the world has suffered from Rome for a long time.

After all, there is no food to eat, so I still think about getting a hammer and just do it. If you can't beat me, you will die, if you don't beat me, you will die. Either way, you will die. It's better to do the opposite. At least if you do the opposite, you may still have a way to live. If it doesn't work, you can still pick it up. A Roman ate it!

"Is there a detailed assessment?" Chen Xi asked Li You, "How big will the unrest in Rome be, how many people will die, how much will the overall strength decline, etc.?"

"We estimate that most of the provinces close to the west are likely to have riots. On the one hand, there are a large number of barbarians there. On the other hand, in the second round, the provinces on the west were also hit by disasters, and taxes and fees were increased in the second round. Even if Rome wants to change the situation before the locust plague, it will take time," Li You said expressionlessly, "Assuming that the number of locusts that take off in the third round exceeds 100 billion, Rome will probably lose four to five million people. I’m afraid there will be hundreds of thousands of them.”

"We will also suffer hundreds of thousands of population losses here?" Chen Xi frowned, feeling somewhat incredible that with his current level of construction, there would be so many population losses?

"Mainly the naturalized population in Central Asia. Now the Han family is trying its best to protect the local people and the naturalized population, and try to treat them equally, but when it comes to running out of ammunition and food..." Li You stopped here. , but what he wants to express is self-evident.

This is a necessity. The so-called integration is useless without several generations. There are differences between races. Everyone present knows what they will choose at the last moment.

Morality and etiquette are things that only exist when you have enough to eat. How can you keep it safe when a group of people are about to starve to death?

It is true that the Han family in Central Asia will definitely persist, but there are always those who cannot persist. At that point, the only choice for the Han family that does not want to turmoil themselves is to open Uburg and lead themselves and the enemies outside Uburg. Fighting to the death, regardless of victory or defeat, reduces one's own food pressure, and the most important moral pressure.

"Where is the Kushan Empire?" Chen Xi pressed his temples and asked. He could understand the Han family's approach, and he knew that to that point, such an approach was almost natural. Even the elites of the Han family would personally lead these people to go to the Bodhisattva. A possible life, but somewhat uncomfortable.

"I can still hold on." Li Youyan said concisely and concisely.

The situation in the Kushan Empire is the best compared to the places that were hit by the second round of disasters. On the one hand, the second round of locust plagues rushed to Kushan and was already exhausted. On the other hand, the Kushan Empire itself also had sufficient food reserves.

After the will of the empire was formed, Vesudeva I himself prepared to carry out all-military service in accordance with the Beigui, so he reserved a large amount of food and grass. In addition, after the people of the Beigui moved south, the people of the Beigui who had suffered hardships did not allow the Brahmins to do so. Throw it away at will.

Therefore, relying on the favorable timing and location of the Indus-Ganges rivers, which produce three crops a year, the Kushan Empire's grain reserves currently have no problems. On the contrary, the management chaos of the middle- and lower-level bureaucrats has greatly affected the distribution of grain. However, the Kushan Empire Shuang has always been in this tune. After getting the people of Beigui, it is even better. After all, the military management has been somewhat useful.

But it’s only now. If the third round of locust plague comes in like the second round, the Kushan Empire’s losses will increase explosively. However, considering that the Kushan Empire has three crops a year, it only needs to survive four months. Once the new food arrives, it is not very fatal. Overall, the losses will be much lighter than those of Rome.

But if we take into account the management chaos that has existed in Nangui for thousands of years, if it really goes through the third round, the humanitarian disaster will be more serious than the natural disaster. This is why Vesudeva I actively suppressed the locust plague in East Africa, knowing it well.

After all, natural disasters can still be deceived by fooling the bottom through various means, but when natural disasters are combined with man-made disasters, there is really no way to deceive them, and it is easy to explode due to the superposition of two, so in terms of holding down the locust plague, , Vesudeva I was also very active.

"Let Xu Yue go over and push down the third round as much as possible." After hearing the situation of the other two families, Chen Xi felt that he still couldn't be careless.
