Section 568 Disaster!
In the second year of Yuande, on the eighth day of the fourth month, Sheyang County, Jiangdu State, was sunny and cloudy, with southeast wind.
The master father Yan and Zhou Ren stood on the city wall of Sheyang County, looking at the sea in the distance.
Sheyang is an ancient city and a traditional Chinese base for boiling salt.
At the time of Wu Rebellion and Liu Biao, it was as important as Wu Rebellion's Copper Mountain to boil salt.
At its peak, there were more than 100,000 people here to boil the sea and get salt.
The annual salt production is as high as more than one million stones!
Liu Bi relied on the copper mountain of Huiji and the boiled salt of Sheyang to enrich the world, and raised 150,000 regular troops with the power of a country.
After the fall of Liu Bi, according to the order of Jinshang, who was still the crown prince at the time, the generals of the Han army who went south, Li Ji and Han Yudang, protected Sheyang very well.
By the time the place was handed over to the imperial court, Sheyang County basically maintained the original salt boiling factory and infrastructure.
After the master father Yan and Zhou Yuan were ordered to come to Jiangdu Kingdom, they took the Mo family's Mo family and the officials of Shaofu to visit most of Jiangdu Kingdom.
Eventually, the salt base will be sunburned, and the site will be selected here.
Because the environment and climate here are the most suitable places for drying salt.
There is hardly one of them!
In the past nearly a year, the master father Yan and Zhou Yuan started from scratch here, starting from scratch, and established a salt drying base with a scale of 10,000 acres and a total of 100 hectares.
This base, in the summer, when the sunshine is long, can produce 150,000 stone of coarse salt in a month.
Coupled with the original salt boiling factory, in Sheyang County, the average monthly salt output was nearly 200,000 stones.
These salts have become the best achievements of Zhou Yuan and his master.
Even, there are rumors. The Son of Heaven will choose one of the two of them to be cultivated as the future Shaofu Order.
Such news. Let Zhou Yuan and the master father Yan be excited. Gearing up to do a big job this year.
The master father Yan even made a plan to expand the area of the salt pans by five times or even ten times this year.
Pity......
The master sighed inwardly.
Before the plan could begin, it died.
At the order of the Son of Heaven, most of the population of Jiangdu began to migrate inland.
Especially Sheyang County.
The whole people of Sheyang, now. It's almost gone.
Only the master father Yan and Zhou Yuan were left, with dozens of bureaucrats, sitting in the county seat.
It's not that they can't evacuate, it's that they don't want to.
The salt pans, warehouses and wharves in Sheyang County are all precipitated with the blood and sweat of the two, carrying their hopes and futures, and they already have a deep relationship, and Zhou Yuan even vowed to live and die with Yantian. The field is in the people, and the fields are dead.
Although Master Father Yan is not as emotional as Zhou Yuan, he is not willing to watch his hard work destroyed.
Of course, more importantly, the Lord Father felt it. If he left and Zhou Yuan stayed, after this. Isn't his master father a coward in the eyes of others?
It's too bad for the image!
Especially. The master father Yan knew who Zhou Yuan's father was.
Therefore, Zhou Ren is the commander of the Lang Zhong. Congenitally, Zhou Yuan has more confidence and potential than his master father.
Not to mention, as the confidant of the first emperor, Zhou Ren said a few words to the East Palace, and he could make a final decision at a critical moment.
However, in the past few days, the mood of the people who stayed in this Sheyang City was like a roller coaster.
At the beginning, as the people evacuated, only the main father Yan and Zhou Yuan and their respective followers were left, and they would rather die than leave.
In everyone's hearts, they are actually empty and scared.
The Son of Heaven warned that an unprecedented storm was coming.
Sheyang County is on the seaside, and there is no doubt that if a storm comes, it should be Sheyang first.
Everyone, all of them are human beings, and if they are human beings, they will be afraid.
Especially, when there are fewer people, it is even more frightening.
Even Zhou Yuan, who had sworn before, could see that the other party had some remorse a few days ago.
It's just that Haikou has already boasted, and the cowhide has been blown, and if you admit it at this time, you will be seen as a joke.
Moreover, at this time, the entire west of Guangling was basically empty.
Even if you want to leave, it's too late.
Wouldn't it be even worse if you were halfway through and caught up in a storm?
Therefore, everyone thinks that it is better to stay in a safe city.
These days, everyone has not been idle, in the county office, digging a few strong cellars, stockpiling enough water and food, waiting for the great storm warned by the Son of Heaven to strike.
It's a pity that the left and right waited, and it was said that there was a storm, and after April, there was not even a drop of rain.
The sun is hanging in the sky, and the temperature is starting to get muggy.
The mentality of Master Father Yan, Zhou Ren and his subordinate officials also began to change to a strange place, especially after the seventh, everyone's mood changed from nervous to a similar awkward psychology.
What the emperor swore in front of the whole world was eventually proven to be false.
The most humiliating thing is, of course, the emperor himself.
But the bureaucratic elite is no better than that.
Officials, nobles and emperors are actually two grasshoppers on a rope.
Especially the officials, after this incident, many people clearly know and understand what it means to humiliate the lord and his ministers to death, and the skin will be attached without hair.
Reality is the best classroom, so that everyone can see clearly, once the imperial power is shaken, the status and identity of the bureaucrats and magnates recognized by the imperial power will inevitably be shaken.
This fact is not only seen clearly by the master father Yan and Zhou Yuan.
The entire Wu Chu Qilu, and even the bureaucrats in the world, know it well.
Because of this, most of the officials and nobles of the world are now praying that the prophesied storm is coming.
If the storm doesn't come......
Everyone doesn't know how this thing will end.
Although, some people are already preparing to clean up the mess.
Fooling and fooling the common people is the bureaucracy's specialty.
But the problem is that this time the matter is clearly and clearly placed in front of the eyes of the people of the world.
How can it be easily fooled?
Everyone doesn't know magic, so it's impossible to erase the memories of everyone in the world.
"Hey!" Looking at the still calm sea in the distance, the master sighed. It's full of worry.
More than anyone else, the Lord Father wanted the storm to come soon.
Because he knows it well. If Imasami falls, then he is a cronie like Imagami. There must be no good fruit to eat!
At the beginning, the princes and ministers punished the Lu family, and the corpses in Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace were not cleaned up for three days and three nights.
All the ministers and nobles in the world related to the Lu family were brutally purged.
For example, this Sheyang County used to be the fiefdom of Sheyanghou.
Where did the sun go?
Of course, the master father would not want that to happen to him.
Taking a deep breath, Master Father Yan closed his eyes.
Suddenly. When the master heard a sound of surprise, he opened his eyes and followed the sound.
He was instantly stunned.
I saw that on the other side of the sea, the sea surface that had just been calm suddenly seemed to be the end of the world, and the whole world fell into darkness.
Thick clouds suddenly pressed down from the sky.
In the clouds, thunder and lightning flashed, and from time to time there were severe thunderstorms.
A massive. Super whirlpool clouds beyond the imagination of the Lord Father, wrapped in seawater, thunderstorms, and strong winds, moved rapidly on the surface of the sea.
Moreover, the goal is to shoot the sun!
Rumble!
The sun is in the face of this super catastrophe. Frightened, there was no trace of him.
The sky that was shining with the sun also entered darkness.
The wind is starting to get stronger.
Heavy rain began to fall in the sky.
"Lord, father, brother. Come on! Zhou Yuan shouted fiercely.
storm, everyone stayed in Sheyang County for almost half a year. I've seen it several times.
But such a big storm, such a terrible storm. A storm of such speed, they had never seen before.
At this moment, the master father Yan realized how small people are between heaven and earth.
There was no time to sigh, and the master father followed Zhou Yuan's footsteps, quickly ran down the city wall, and ran to the county office, which had been dug to shelter.
At this moment, the master father was extremely fortunate that he was born under the rule of a Son of Heaven who was blessed by the gods of heaven and earth.
If it weren't for the Holy Son of Heaven, I'm afraid we would all die without a place to be buried!
The speed of the super whirlpool cloud was very fast, and it was already landing on the sea west of Sheyang County when the Lord Father Yan and the others ran into the county office.
This incomparably terrifying cloud, the central wind force is as high as more than fourteen, and the waves it rolls up, at least ten meters, it is like a monster descending on the world, and it can easily roll up all the human buildings, trees, soil and rocks along the way.
And its movement speed is equivalent to that of a leopard running at full speed to hunt.
In the blink of an eye, it destroys everything along the coast and extends inland.
And its scope is very large, as soon as it lands, it will pull most of Sheyang County into its arms.
Sheyang County, in front of it, is no different from a castle piled up on the sand dunes, a light tear, the entire city is destroyed, the roofs of all the houses, in an instant, flew into the air, bricks and tiles flew everywhere.
It continues south, following a straight path.
Not surprisingly, it ignored the territory demarcated by humans and went straight into the territory of the East China Sea Kingdom.
At noon on this day, the inhabitants of the East Sea Kingdom encountered a nightmare that they had never seen in their lives.
This is an incomparably terrifying, never-before-seen super hurricane, and its power is staggering.
An hour after landfall, the wind at its centre shows no signs of abating.
It's like a horror harvester.
Destroy everything in your path, pull it up, and push it.
Bridges were blown down, houses were blown away, livestock and humans were swept into the air, and countless stones, muddy water, bricks, and branches flew in the air.
Amid the roar of thunderstorms and lightning, the terrified people of the East China Sea knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and begged for forgiveness from the witch god.
But, this is of no use.
The relentless hurricane tore apart all their illusions.
"The Son of Heaven in Chang'an has already warned...... "Countless Yue people, crying and shouting, running around, many chiefs, extremely remorseful in their hearts.
They were told about this disaster half a month in advance, and the Son of Heaven in Chang'an also sent a messenger to express his willingness to help and assist.
Hate yourself, be ignorant. He ignored the warning of the Son of Heaven, and this is a crime that he deserves!
But. Before facing death, humanity. Finally, the brilliance of humanity belonging to intelligent beings broke out.
When the hurricane came, the tribal elders and adults who had observed its trajectory ran home, stuffed the minors of their tribe into water tanks, hid them in a sturdy cellar, and begged the witch god to bless him.
At the moment of disaster, some women desperately protected their children under them.
There is a father. With his own body, he pressed the two children who were playing beside him under him.
When the remnants of the human race come out to look for survivors after the hurricane, they always find a father and a mother protecting their children under many stumps and even rubble.
But unfortunately. Most of their efforts have been ineffective.
But there are also occasional lucky people who, at the expense of their parents, have preserved their lives.
Everyone was excited and cheered.
But that's all for later.
At this time. One-third of the East China Sea countries have entered a terrible world like hell.
An unprecedented terrifying hurricane, in less than half an hour. destroyed most of their efforts over the past sixty years.
Countless villages and tribes, destroyed.
Countless farmlands. Become a mess.
After the hurricane, torrential rain poured. This makes all this worse.
The East China Sea should be grateful for their traditions.
Believing in the witch gods, in the half month before the disaster, they withdrew a large number of people, especially the nobles and officials who occupied the middle and upper echelons of the kingdom's pyramid, as well as a large amount of wealth.
There is hope for them, and it is unlikely that they will be wiped out by this.
Despite this, when the kings and ministers of the East China Sea in Dongou City got reports from all over the country, their faces turned white.
The area where the hurricane passed through was about one-third of the country's land in the East China Sea.
However, because of the border with the Han Dynasty and the flat terrain, the local area has always been the anointing land of the East China Sea, the most important source of wealth and the most densely populated area.
Even if a large number of people were evacuated ahead of schedule.
However, after this difficulty, the backbone of the East China Sea Kingdom has been broken.
The monarchs and ministers of the East China Sea are very clear up and down.
The East China Sea is over.
With the strength and national strength of the East China Sea Kingdom alone, it is no longer possible to restore local production and life.
"Ask Chang'an for help!" Luo Shen, the king of the East China Sea, said: "Prepare, the widow will go to Chang'an in person, the son of heaven!" ”
This means that the East China Sea State chooses, comprehensively, unreservedly, and simply and completely, to submit to Chang'an, and become a vassal similar to the vassal states, political, economic, military, and fully under the guidance of Chang'an.
But, there is no way.
Everybody knows that if you don't, the angry victims, the hungry people who are waiting to be fed, will tear them apart.
What's even more terrifying is that the Minyue people will definitely not let go of such an opportunity.
Surrender to the Son of Han and surrender to the Son of Heaven, everyone will lose their autonomy at most, but the glory and wealth can still be guaranteed.
If you die in Minyue, everything will cease to exist, and even the heads of your own people will probably fall off.
Hurricanes do not change by human will.
After destroying a third of the East China Sea Kingdom, it continued southward, crossed the border, and landed in the Han border again, and it swept all the way from Gaoyou.
This time, however, it discovered a terrible fact - humanity has cheated.
Everywhere it goes, let alone people.
Not even a single livestock exists.
Half a month ago, the human race had removed everything in its transit.
It can only be futile and vent, destroying those empty cities and lifting those empty houses into the sky.
And, as it moved further inland, its energy began to run out.
By the time it arrived at Guangling City, it had already consumed most of its energy.
In the end, it had no choice but to demonstratively blow down a section of the western part of the city wall.
Then, it can't do anything anymore.
The hurricane, which lost its energy, disappeared without a trace after leaving a cyclone over Guangling City.
But, the hurricane is gone.
The sheer amount of rain it brings is just beginning to show its power.
Torrential rains began to cover all the areas it crossed.
In many places, there were even floods.
Floods and mudslides have caused secondary damage to the vast disaster areas.
The territory of the Han family was fine, and most of the people were evacuated.
However, the disaster area within the territory of the East China Sea Country is like a hell on earth.
The flood, with the corpses of various creatures and the branches and leaves of plants, raged everywhere.
An even more terrible demon is beginning to awaken.
Countless deadly germs and diseases are ready to be stirred up in the disaster area.
What's even more terrifying is that when the surviving humans fled their homes after the disaster, they also brought these demons to those safe areas.
For the inhabitants of the East China Sea, the nightmare has only just begun. (To be continued......)
