The demon world I designed

Chapter 682 But what if we really just came to deliver food?

Along with the huge Yin army, there was an even larger group of ordinary people. No one expected that the imperial court would organize such a large-scale immigration in the cold and snowy weather before spring arrived.

Since the first batch of vanguard troops were dispatched on the fifth day of the Great Cold, a large number of ordinary people have left their homes in all parts of the capital, and driven by the army, they are moving towards the north!

Such a large-scale move spread throughout the country in just a few days.

Chen Qing also received the news immediately and summoned everyone to start a meeting.

"The four areas of Longjing were the four barriers for the Jin Dynasty to encircle the capital. They were also the main places where refugees from all over the country rushed to this time. According to our previous guesses and the descriptions of some traders who came from the troubled times, the four cities are now overcrowded, and the accumulated population is probably more than a hundred. The Xiao family should be ready to restart other cities before spring plowing, especially the agricultural cities near the north. "

"Can four cities hold tens of billions of people?" Young Shen Shiyi asked curiously: "It would be overwhelming if so many people flooded into the entire Southeast and Jiangnan. Can the capital prepare so much food?"

This question made the atmosphere in the room pause for a moment. Shen Laosan looked at Shen Eleven, hesitated, and decided to educate him about the cruelty in the world.

"You have stayed in the south of the Yangtze River for too long, and maybe you don't understand what most cities in the Central Plains are like during natural disasters or man-made disasters. Do you think that the people from the north who came to the south of the Yangtze River were treated the same way? They were starving for thousands of miles, and there were bones everywhere. People are like locusts, swapping their offspring and eating them. These tragic scenes can be seen everywhere in the years of real trouble. This time the earth spirit has revived, demons are everywhere, and the cities in the Central Plains near the north have ten rooms and nine empty spaces. For many people, the current situation is like this. You are extremely lucky to have a ruined temple that is sheltered from the wind and a bowl of porridge to hang your life on.”

"Um, can you survive such a life?" Shen Shiyi couldn't understand.

"Those who can't live on will die!" Shen Laoer said coldly: "In the past, the fertile land in the Central Plains, Kanto and Kansai was millions of miles away, with a population of tens of billions. Where do you think they all went?"

"Um" Shen Shiyi was stunned: "No, you said you were taking refuge everywhere? Some fled to our Jiangnan, and most of them went to Longjing and other places."

"As you just said, the number of people that can be accommodated in the four places of Longjing is limited, and the food is also limited. You may find it unbelievable that there are tens of billions of people. Where are the tens of billions of people?"

Shen Shiyi swallowed his saliva when he heard this and said nothing. Xu Hu on the side looked at Nuanyu on the table silently and said nothing.

In the south of the Yangtze River, everyone has enough food and clothing. Even those who are in trouble, as long as they come to this land, at least one bite of food and a piece of warm clothes are indispensable. But he has also experienced battlefields. What is a real natural disaster? He is He had never seen it before and could not imagine how tragic a natural disaster of this scale would be.

But who would talk about it on weekdays?

Tens of billions of living creatures were wiped out in just one winter. Human life is really as fragile as an ant in troubled times.

"But now that large-scale migration is taking place, can the food supply be guaranteed?" Xu Hu couldn't help but ask.

Several members of the Shen family looked over, and Wei Gongcheng said directly: "Old Xu, you are also in charge of the army. Even if you are not completely responsible for the logistics, you probably know something about it, right? There is a great migration of tens of billions of people. Do you think the current imperial court can ration it?" Is it perfect? ​​It’s winter again, so I’m lucky to be alive.”

Xu Hu: "."

Chen Qing looked at the map and said: "The Yin Army has an advantage. It doesn't need a lot of food. It only needs the energy in the jade stone to keep the body running. This is the advantage of the Ghost King's army. In this way, it can save a lot of food for the people." , but even so, it is unlikely that the supply of tens of billions of people can be completely guaranteed. Most of them are just food that can barely survive. In such a severe winter, it is a long journey, and it is difficult to survive until the end."

"Sir," Xu Hu looked up directly at Chen Qing: "What can we do?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent again.

The Xiao family wants to relocate the population, replenish the cities in the north, and revitalize the cities. They even do not hesitate to launch a large migration on the fateful day of winter. He himself does not care about the lives of his people. In common sense, it has nothing to do with us. ?

We are in a hostile relationship. The slower the other party's progress, the better it will be for their preparations. It is best if the future fails and the people complain, which will have a greater impact on the luck of the king.

But

Would Chen Qing do this?

"How much food can we provide?" Chen Qing looked at Chen Ying.

Chen Ying felt hot and said quickly: "My lord, this year's harvest is good, and the entire Jiangnan is rich in food. But this time we have just harvested in the southeast. A large number of people in the southeast need food for the winter, and immigrants from the West Sea also need a large amount of food for storage. In addition, the spring needs Even if the prepared military rations are abundantly stored now, I’m afraid that”

She said she was trying to dissuade Chen Qing, but she had other expectations in her heart. Reason told her that she shouldn't have that thought now, but...

"My lord, think twice." Seeing Chen Qing really calculating the food, Shen San frowned and said, "You also said that the Spring Festival meeting will be a key battle. All of Xu Hu's warrior army will press forward. Let's not talk about the outcome. , this military ration is indispensable, you should understand the consumption of the army in wartime. "

Chen Qing naturally knows that when a warrior is preparing for war, his whole body's energy and blood are always active. In wartime, the food consumption will even be three times the usual. If you consider ensuring morale, it may even be higher. At this time, the food consumption is tens of millions. Indispensable.

The battle is all about military power and resources. I can't compare to the Xiao family's side, and my soldiers all have to eat.

"I am sensible." Chen Qing took a breath and said, "I sent someone to send a message. Jiangnan is willing to share the worries of the imperial court's relocation and provide a certain amount of food supply to help the relocated people survive the winter."

"Your Majesty." The Shen family couldn't help but raise their heads. Xu Hu looked excited, but also a little hesitant. Ci was not in charge of the army. Of course he knew that if he still supported the food export at this time,

"Just do as you are told." Chen Qing waved his hand: "Have someone fly over immediately."

The war is about to begin. The hearts of the people at the bottom have never been important in this world of monsters, but Shinto-ryu is different. Since I have chosen this path, I have to go on with tears in my eyes at this most difficult time——

Chen Qing's announcement quickly spread throughout the world. At this moment, all the forces were shocked by Chen Qing's operation.

The first person to be surprised was the capital headquarters.

In the main hall, all the civil and military officials were shocked after receiving the news. There were whispers in the main hall for a while, and the ministers were in disbelief at the announcement of King Qin of Jiangnan.

Everyone knew that Jiangnan would not sincerely support the imperial court, and there would be a battle between the two sides. At this time, he actually came to deliver food? Are you out of your mind?

The emperor looked at the announcement sent from a distance, and then looked at the ministers in the hall: "What do you think?"

"Grandstanding!" A civil servant in black robes said quickly: "It's just a show to earn fame. Your Majesty, don't pay attention to it. He Chen Qing hopes that our people will be in dire straits. This announcement is just to show how kind he is. When the time comes, If we directly say that we have not received the food from Jiangnan, what can Chen Qing do? "

The emperor looked at the other party: "Chen Qing's memorial requires us to let go of our protection and let their food team come in to ensure that everyone is given food."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!" Several ministers said quickly, "What if you want to take advantage of the opportunity?"

"Want to take advantage of the opportunity?" The emperor suddenly smiled. He was looking forward to taking advantage of the opportunity to do something with him at this time.

Above the court, all the ghost generals showed eerie smiles. Now, they don't think there is any power in the world that can compete with them.

"But what if you are really just here to deliver food?" A gentle voice sounded, and the emperor looked over. The person who spoke was the old head of the Yuchi family, the only general in the court who had not turned into a ghost.

These words made the entire court burst into laughter. Almost no one believed it at this moment, but the emperor sitting on the throne fell silent.

For some reason, although he felt that this thing was extremely stupid, he still felt that that boy might be able to do it.
