Chapter 542 540. Release of military power

In Yecheng, each workshop is under martial law and no one is allowed to enter or leave the workshop. Food and drink expenses are all managed by a dedicated person.

All around the city wall, there were warriors wearing bows and arrows, observing the sky to see if there were any birds flying by. Whenever there are flying birds, they will be disturbed by the sound of arrows, causing them to turn towards him.

Although the mummy plague has inevitably spread among the people, it is still within a controllable range here.

"Who are those people? How did they get here? What happened to the previous level?"

The sentries on the watchtower of the city wall couldn't help but feel strange when they looked at the team walking on the road in the distance.

He took out his binoculars and looked.

"1, 2, 3······10."

He counted ten vehicles in this team, all black off-road vehicles.

"Lao Qi, there's a car coming from outside. It looks like it's from Qi State. Go ask the commander, what should we do?"

According to the procedures, Yecheng currently does not allow people to enter the city.

However, this rule was still broken in front of these people outside the city.

Moreover, Liu Guanjun personally led his team to the city gate and opened the city gate to welcome him.

"In this current situation, Minister Ren actually came here in person."

Liu Guanjun saw Ren Nuan getting out of the car at the city gate.

"The general's name is like thunder, but this is the first time we have met him in real life. During this epidemic, the mission is traveling in a light and simple manner. If there is any lack of etiquette, please forgive me, General Liu."

Ren Nuan raised her hands towards Liu Guanjun and said.

Qi State does not recognize Liu Guanjun's self-proclaimed "King of Wu". Ren Nuan, as a minister of Qi State, naturally will not recognize it.

"Mr. Ren is too kind."

After Liu Guanjun exchanged a few pleasantries with Ren Nuan, he invited: "The banquet has been prepared at my house. Please invite Minister Ren to come to the city to speak."

"Looking at Ye Cheng's vigilance, I think the general has also realized the horror of the plague."

After entering the city, the motorcade stopped on the street outside General Liu Guanjun's mansion. As the two entered the mansion, Ren Nuan spoke.

"The plague has broken out in Liyuan and Hengfeng in Zhongzhou. We have seen it before. It's really scary!"

Liu Guanjun said.

“If we don’t come up with an effective plan for this disaster, it may not cause less damage than the zombie disaster more than ten years ago.

Nearly twenty years have passed since the disaster of living corpses, and the negative impact it caused has not completely passed. If the mummy plague sweeps across the world again, it is uncertain whether the world will still be a human world in the future. "

Ren Nuan said and took out a report.

The report is only two pages and about a thousand words.

"These are some research results and information obtained by the imperial court, please take a look."

Ren Nuan handed it to Liu Guanjun.

After sitting down in a hall, Mrs. Mi also came out to see the ceremony.

She and Liu Guanjun watched the report together.

When I finished reading, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "This Daru man is so heartless and crazy!?"

"It's just some Daru people. Moreover, the majority of these people are Lurte people. In order to win, they will do whatever it takes to win. Now, it is not surprising that some people who are approaching their end choose to embrace this plague.

Fortunately, the purpose of these people is to use the plague to obtain a longer life, not to infect other people into mummies, and will not take the initiative to infect others.

However, with the infectious ability of the mummy plague and some people adding fuel to the flames, it is already very difficult for the southern land to prevent the plague! "

Ren Nuan explained the current practical difficulties.

"Can you tell us what the court wants to do?"

Mi Fang asked.

"Everyone is united and united."

Ren Nuan looked at Mi Fang: "This is the basis, and it was also instructed by the king himself."

"I see."

Mi Fang nodded.

It seemed that what Ren Nuan was talking about was just an ideology for epidemic prevention, but she could understand that he was going to withdraw military power!

Warlords like them will be swept off the stage of history under this plague.

And this reason is very strong and tenable. It is not only a good excuse for the court, but also a good step for warlords like them.

Liu Guanjun's face was still quite unwilling: "The imperial court promised to let me control the Fourth Route Army and give me the title of founding general..."

"The king promised to give General Liu the title of Marquis of Yecheng, and after the founding of the country, he allowed General Liu to recommend one person to be a civil servant above the department level."

Ren Nuan said in time.

Speaking of which, this reward was a bit shabby as a bargaining chip for Liu Guanjun to hand over military power.

The title of Qi State is now neither hereditary nor replaceable, nor does it promise to pay salary. Compared with Liu Guanjun's current actual status, he really can't see it.

But not to mention that the Qi State's military was at its peak and its strength crushed the Beiwan Group.

It is only said that when fighting against the Daru people, he asked Qi for help and brought in the help of Qi's instructors and troops. For Liu Guanjun, this was no different from inviting a wolf into the house. They were both choices that had to be made under the conditions at the time.

A large number of junior officers in today's Fourth Route Army are from the Qi Army. Even Liu Guanjun can't tell who owns this army now.

"With the current situation in the world, even if General Liu disagrees, the imperial court will not launch a war, but General Liu also has to think about the future.

If General Liu disagrees, the court's overall plan for epidemic prevention will inevitably be disrupted, resulting in deformed actions.

Once there is a problem with epidemic prevention, General Liu has an unshirkable responsibility, and he has to bear this responsibility! "

Seeing that Liu Guanjun was frowning and not speaking, Ren Nuan became tough in his words.

"Is this the intention of the court or the king?"

Mi Fang suddenly interrupted and asked.

Ren Nuan looked at Mi Fang and said, "It is the intention of the court and the king."

"In this case, my husband should indeed release the military power."

Mi Fang looked at Liu Guanjun.

Liu Guanjun also looked into his wife's eyes. After seeing her nod slightly, he retracted his gaze and stared at the teacup in his hand silently. The halo from the window shone through the paper-thin porcelain wall into the water, and a slight shake caused a circle of ripples.

After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have figured it out, and his body became relaxed.

Liu Guanjun said, "Well, after fighting for so many years, I should enjoy myself. It's good to be a rich man!

But I also have a request. "

"General Liu, you can talk about it. ”

Ren Nuan gestured to Liu Guanjun to speak.

“I am willing to hand over the military power, but my wife is a talented person with both civil and military skills. I hope that in the future, my wife can serve as a prefect in Yecheng County. This is where we started our business, and I also hope to build it into a rich city like Yuntai County in the future.

Ren Nuan was also a little surprised after hearing what Liu Guanjun said.

He looked at Mi Fang.

Before he came, he had seen detailed information about the Beiwan Group.

He also knew that Mi Fang was a fox spirit.

So far, in the system of Qi, there are also monsters who are officials, but they are basically military positions, and there are very few who can become school officers, and there are no more.

This is limited by the innate conditions of the monsters. The earliest of them became spirits, which is only ten years of effort, and even fewer have integrated into human society.

Except for some gifted people, most of their knowledge is not systematic, and it is difficult for them to mix in human society before their personalities have been polished.

If Mi Fang becomes the prefect of Ye County, he may be the only civil servant among the monsters, and even the only department official.

However... Ren Nuan thought of the king's vision for the future of Da Qi when he chatted with the king privately before.

Take over Baiyue, Guangzhou, Qihang, Dajiang, Yuanzhou and other provinces, and become a multi-ethnic unified country.

The monster tribe is also regarded by the king as one of the ethnic minorities in Da Qi.

Moreover, with the development of industry, a large number of women have entered the textile and garment industry and other jobs, and the slogan that women can hold up half the sky has also been shouted out. At this time, women are also needed in the officialdom to make a difference and play an exemplary leading role.

Mi Fang, both a monster tribe and a woman, is also a very capable and skillful person. The huge Beiwan Group can be managed in an orderly manner in her hands, and she has won more than a dozen victories under her leadership.

"I think this should not be difficult."

Ren Nuan said out of his understanding of the king.

Because of the reality, in the war against the Darus, the Qi court had already grasped these two major groups, and there was no difficulty in the negotiation process.

However, it will take some time to replace and control the local and military forces.

We also have to take into account the issue of epidemic prevention, and the handover process has been prolonged.

The whole process cannot be completed overnight. According to the time step, it will not be completed until the end of the year.

However, from Zhongzhou to Guangzhou, all epidemic prevention work has been taken over by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense of Qi.

A large amount of epidemic prevention materials are continuously transported from the south by train.

Rongcheng County, Daogu Town.

This place is close to the Liusha River, with continuous paddy fields, and the rice grown here is more delicious than that grown in the rice fields in the south. The steamed rice is distinct and has a strong rice fragrance. Daogu Town got its name from this.

The market town of Daogu Town was built around the Liusha River wharf. In the past, people came from the south and the north, and it was crowded and prosperous. Now, it has become depressed because of a plague. No one can be seen on the whole street. There is only one platoon of soldiers guarding the main roads from east to west and north to south.

"Beep~"

A whistle blew.

"It's the chief of staff's car!"

The observation post shouted.

The people in the post ran out at once.

The car stopped and Han Wenlong came out.

"Brother Wenlong, why is it you?"

The platoon leader ran to the front of the car and found that it was Han Wenlong who got off. He couldn't help but take a closer look inside.

"What's wrong, brother Zhang, do you mean that I, Han Wenlong, look shabby here?"

Han Wenlong patted his military cap and said to Platoon Leader Zhang.

"How can that be? I haven't congratulated Brother Wenlong on his promotion yet!"

Platoon Leader Zhang said with a smile.

"What kind of promotion? It's just that I am the chief of the training department of the battalion. It adds a lot of work content."

Han Wenlong waved his hand and said modestly.

However, he couldn't help but smile more on his face.

Although the chief of the training section was not of high rank, he was no longer a lonely lieutenant, and he had several capable soldiers under him. Although his authority had increased, he no longer had to write materials himself. He only needed to make sure of the overall situation and master the important data, and he could do his job well. It was much easier than before.

Moreover, the Operations and Training Department is in charge of the daily training arrangements of the battalion. The company commanders who used to be indifferent to him now treat him like a brother, with a bit of flattery in their attitude.

Now he is more majestic when walking in the camp, which makes him walk with the wind!

"Okay, come and eat at noon."

Han Wenlong called the soldiers in the platoon over: "I just went to your company during the patrol. Your kitchen team made dumplings today, and I just brought them to you.

Come and eat, it's still hot."

Two soldiers came with the car, both of whom were his subordinates in the Operations and Training Department, and took the lunch boxes from the car.

"I have a good meal today. My eye sockets are wrinkled by the protective glasses."

"Take off the mask, be careful, don't fold it casually, it will be useless if it is broken!"

The soldiers at the checkpoint came to receive the lunch box.

"Today is the winter solstice."

Platoon leader Zhang strolled to the side with the lunch box.

"Yes, I thought that the country would be unified this year, and the king would establish a country and become an emperor. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen."

Han Wenlong also carried a lunch box and squatted with Platoon Leader Zhang to eat dumplings.

He peeled a garlic and handed it to Platoon Leader Zhang: "It's a pity that there is no vinegar."

"It's okay. I can eat dumplings here, and they are stuffed with cabbage and pork. When I was a soldier in the Jing Dynasty, that was something I couldn't even imagine!

You are young and have never seen the darkness in the army during the Jing Dynasty..."

Although Platoon Leader Zhang is only in his thirties, his family is poor. He served as a child soldier in the Jing Dynasty when he was a teenager.

"In the first half of the year, the black-hearted cotton-padded clothes of our frontline soldiers were so bad that even the king was alarmed. In anger, he ordered a thorough investigation and chopped off the heads of many senior officials. In the old dynasty, no one would care about us stinky soldiers, let alone alarm the king!"

When Platoon Leader Zhang talked about it, he was satisfied with the current situation.

"Look at this, isn't it cute?"

He took out the necklace hanging around his neck and opened it to reveal a photo of a little girl.

"Cute, your daughter?"

Han Wenlong took a look and saw that she looked three or four years old, pink and a little chubby, with black eyes that were very smart and cute.

"Yes, my daughter, she's six years old this year. I haven't seen her for almost two years. I don't know if she still recognizes me as her father."

Platoon Leader Zhang looked at the photo with a smile on his face.

"That's not necessarily true."

Han Wenlong patted Platoon Leader Zhang on the arm.

"It's not easy for your sister-in-law to take care of the children and the elderly at home alone. This time the Northern Expedition is over, and I should retire. When the time comes, I will return to my hometown to be a policeman and live with my family..."

"Woo~"

Just as Platoon Leader Zhang was talking about his family situation with a happy expression, a whistle of a river boat suddenly came from the Liusha River.

Everyone looked up and saw a river boat passing by in the middle of the river.
