Chapter 1031: The Beginning of the Great Melee (1)

Zhang Zhongjun tested the three ninjas of Arashiyama, Zuo Jin, and Kondo by obtaining the level of detail of the information, which was tantamount to going through the motions for the three of them. Because of Zhang Zhongjun's disapproving appearance, and because they didn't dare to reveal Zhang Zhongjun's coming to this world, they have been monitoring the things on the sidelines, so that the three of them dare not brag about how awesome they are and how awesome the ninja village they are in is.

So when the three ninjas appeared in front of Zhang Zhongjun again three days later and presented a thick book, Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but be a little stunned.

In his mind, this kind of investigation of the intelligence of the whole county, at least a month to complete, not how difficult this task is, to investigate the invasion of flea demons in various places, to find out how the losses in this scourge are not costly, but it is very time-consuming, because the land of this world is too vast, the distance between villages is hundreds of kilometers, and the distance between towns and counties can scare people to death.

Therefore, even if there is an intelligence network all over the counties, towns and villages, it will take a long time to gather the news. Although Zhang Zhongjun said that the sooner the better, in his heart, he had already determined that as long as the three of them completed it within a month, it would be considered an excellent condition.

As a result, the news was summarized in three days. This really surprised Zhang Zhongjun, even if all the villages were assigned manpower, I am afraid that it would take a week for the news to be collected alone, right? It was unbelievable that the news was collected in three days!

Zhang Zhongjun didn't worry about what secrets they were hiding, he had already asked the three of them to go to the tavern to inquire about the name of the ninja village, and the ninja system would give an answer in the shortest possible time, so the name of the ninja village of the three of Lanshan was confirmed on the spot, and now the names of the three of them need to be confirmed by the location of their ninja village, which will take some time.

One is that it takes time for the message to be transmitted, and the second is that the ninja village of the three of them will also send someone to check, after all, there are not no ninjas who act impostorly, and their ninja village also has to send someone to determine whether the three people of Arashiyama are really the three of Arashiyama.

It can be said that the ninja village will send people to determine the identity, one is to ensure that no outsiders will pretend to be their own ninja village, the second is to give a guarantee to the hired samurai, and the other is that everyone knows the reason why there is no need to say it, that is, to see how strong the ninja of their ninja village is, judge whether the ninja village should invest in support here, and determine that the wealth obtained by the ninja who has served can be transferred back to the ninja village.

Because of these things related to the interests of the ninja village, when the ninja village learned that someone in their village was out to serve the samurai, and the samurai family needed to find out the real details, these ninja villages would send people from thousands of miles and miles to come over to investigate and make guarantees.

Zhang Zhongjun didn't ask why the three of them were able to complete this intelligence gathering task in three days, each of them had their own ability, why did they ask so much, anyway, as long as they met their own requirements.

So he indifferently flipped through the information, but his brows immediately wrinkled, and while handing the information to Takegami Muraki, who was kneeling on the side, he said: "Village tree, look at it, this flea demon actually appeared at the same time in all villages in the county, and except for our Beihuang Village, which only has a slight loss, all the villages in Heyuan County have suffered heavy losses, and this year's harvest is probably mysterious." ”

Takegami Muraki, who also looked through the information, nodded, and said with a frown: "Yes, it is normal for flea demons to invade during the harvest season, which time before they were not cultivating and harvesting during these two seasons, in order to destroy our human food production areas." It's just that I didn't expect that the kung fu flea demon didn't appear in a few years, and everyone was negligent, and they were beaten by the flea demon suddenly, and they suffered heavy losses. ”

Speaking of this, Takegami Muraki kowtowed to Zhang Zhongjun and apologized: "Lord, the minister is also one of the negligent people, before our Beihuang Village was harvested, and the minister did not make people wary of the invasion of demons and monsters, if it weren't for the strength of the lord and several samurai, I'm afraid our Beihuang Village would have suffered heavy losses like other villages." ”

Zhang Zhongjun waved his hand: "It's okay, there haven't been flea demons making trouble for a few years, everyone has been negligent all of a sudden, it's very normal, just be vigilant next time." Hey, after the next planting, I'm afraid it will be eventful. ”

"Yes, my lord, now everyone is busy harvesting, busy cleaning up the fields destroyed by the flea demons, and for the next year's grain harvest, I believe that all the villages will plant and cultivate as soon as the harvest is completed. But once the cultivation is complete, that's where the trouble comes. Muraki Takegami nodded.

The next words didn't need to be spoken, including the three ninjas who were kneeling in the corner waiting for Zhang Zhongjun to accept them for sure that they would be accepted, and even the maids and servants waiting on the side understood what the words behind meant.

Isn't it that after the cultivation is completed, all the villages will prepare for a foreign war, and this time the campaign will be very simple and cruel, and it will definitely not be to grab land, but to snatch food.

After grabbing the land, although you have an extra piece of land, you also have to consider the survival of the human beings on the land, which is the duty and responsibility of a lord. But it was ravaged by flea demons before, and everyone's food was not enough, who was willing to take care of others?

Therefore, this battle is definitely not to grab the field, but to grab the grain, and snatch the grain that others have just harvested back to their own warehouses, so as to ensure that the stomachs of their own people and ensure that there will be no crisis in their future food consumption. As for whether those who have been robbed of food will starve to death? That is their own business? They are not their own people.

Taking advantage of the food crisis that is still sprouting, he directly robbed the food of his neighbors, fed his own people, and starved outsiders to death, how can he fulfill the obligations and responsibilities of the lord extremely perfectly.

So, before long, a big scuffle in which all the villages in Heyuan County would be swept into it was about to break out.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjun was a little unhappy: "Damn, Lao Tzu is not short of food, and he has to be forced to get involved in this big melee, which is really unpleasant." ”

Why is Zhang Zhongjun upset? Because he dared to say that the news that his Beihuang Village had suffered the least calamity would have spread throughout Heyuan County long ago, and the villages that were all prepared at that time would of course be the first to target their own neighbors, and after getting rid of their neighbors, they would definitely target the people with the most food again.

And Beihuang Village is obviously the target of the first round of neighbors fighting or the second round of grabbing the most grain. That is to say, Beihuang Village will definitely fight from beginning to end, and this big melee will probably be fought for a long time, and it will not completely stop until the next year's grain harvest.
