Chapter 1254: The Right Choice Riot
The Qiankun Emperor, like the Moon Shadow Emperor, was extremely entangled in his heart. The coast was hit by the largest tsunami in history, Jiang Xingchen's three bases were seriously damaged, and Xingchen was understaffed, so it was said that it was the best time to secretly reap the benefits. But when he thought of what had happened before, he didn't dare to do it, Jiang Xingchen's methods were too treacherous, and the lesson was profound!
"Emperor, is there any bad news, why are you so worried!" The beautiful imperial concubine wrapped herself up from behind the emperor, stretched out her ten fingers and gently pressed the emperor's temples, but her eyes were aimed at the letter in the emperor's hand.
"There was a huge tsunami along the coast, and the three bases of the Star Leader were seriously damaged!" the Emperor closed his eyes slightly and replied in a deep voice.
"Anyway, it's Xingchen's business, why is the emperor worried!" the imperial concubine sneered and said: "Jiang Xingchen is disrespectful to the empire, and if he doesn't put the emperor in his eyes, he deserves this disaster!"
The Emperor was noncommittal and said: "The loss of this tsunami star leader is not small, and the entire Minggang City will have to be rebuilt!"
The imperial concubine pondered for a moment, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Emperor, Minggang City is an important base of the Star Lord, and there are a large number of factories, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
The emperor opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head and glanced at the imperial concubine, and suddenly laughed: "If you don't say it, I may really send someone to do it!" But now you have reminded me...... Not only can't you do it, but you have to support him!"
The movements of the princess's hands stiffened, and she was a little dumbfounded, what is the situation with this Nima...... The Emperor warned many times not to talk about political affairs. She also watched the emperor get entangled and worried, so she took the risk to provoke the emperor to do it. Whoever thought about it backfired.
"With what I know about Jiang Xingchen, he must have taken precautions. At this time, it is better to send people to support and deepen cooperation between the two sides. It will also be good for the development of the empire in the future!"
The Emperor stood up as he spoke, and patted the imperial concubine on the shoulder: "Thank you for helping me make a decision! It's also for me and the empire in my heart, but I'll remind you one last time, it's best not to meddle in the affairs of the empire in the future, remember?"
The princess was so depressed in her heart that she was so angry that she wanted to scold the street, but she didn't dare to speak, so she could only look at the emperor with a knowing gaze and nodded again and again.
"Report, the stars receive an urgent letter!" at this time. Outside the door came the guard's message.
"Hehe! It seems that my guess is right, Jiang Xingchen has indeed made a move!" the emperor said and laughed, beckoning the guards outside the door to come in.
He took the letter and read it for a moment, and ordered: "Pass my order, Mr. Huang Shi quickly summons the doctor, prepares the medicine, and rushes to Minggang City to rescue as soon as possible!"
The guards were ordered to leave, and the emperor also got up and hurried out of the room, leaving the imperial concubine alone in the house. Tie Qing's face was blue, and his eyes kept flickering......
As the news continued to spread, the Great Qin Kingdom reacted quickly, with a large convoy loaded with food and clothing, as well as improvised tents, departing from the capital. Hurry to Minggang City.
Then the Eight Kingdoms and Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect also received the news, and they all fell into a tangle. Minggang City is in chaos now, and Jiang Xingchen's rescue can't be too fast. It's a good time to start fighting for profit. But the lessons before this were so profound that they left a huge shadow in their hearts. Therefore, even if there was such an opportunity, they did not make a decision immediately.
At the headquarters of Xuanyuan Tianzong, a group of elders were arguing. Most people think that they should make a decision on the spot. Get started. Xingchen Territory has been affected by disasters in many places, but there are insufficient personnel, and the rescue must be overstretched, it is the best time to attack Minggang City, steam engines, steel rolling equipment, cannons, and those craftsmen, which one of them is of great significance.
And the other group of elders led by the newly promoted elder Hongren cited the profound lessons of their previous failures, thinking that Jiang Xingchen couldn't use common sense to deal with it at all, and he still ignored it and worked hard to develop his own good.
The two sides quarreled for a whole afternoon, and the sect master repeatedly weighed the gains and losses. In the end, combined with the opinions of both sides, it is okay to send people forward, but they must not show their heads, secretly watch the development of the situation, and only allow the action once it is really out of control......
Then the local newspapers began to report on the tsunami in a big way, and the news broke out all over the world, and everyone was talking about it for a while.
At this time, Minggang City was on the cusp of the storm, and the disaster was too serious, the whole city was ravaged by huge waves, countless houses on the edge collapsed, and civilians were killed and injured.
The city was in shambles, and although the flood waters had receded, the traces of its destructive power could be seen everywhere, with countless houses collapsing, muddy streets, and cries and wails everywhere
As one of the few port cities on the mainland, Minggang City is not smaller than Hongyuan City, and because of the prosperity of maritime trade, the resident population here exceeds 300,000, which also means that the number of casualties is huge.
Wang Bo and Li Meng have a total of more than 1,000 people stationed here, and they can't keep busy at all. Protection, resettlement, distribution of materials, and the need to guard against people taking advantage of the chaos to smash and loot and make a fortune can be described as a lot of anxiety. To make matters worse, the floods not only destroyed the houses, but also swept away a large amount of food and supplies, and now there is a shortage of food and medicine in the city, and hunger and disease will cause even more casualties if they spread......
Private soldiers and veterans stationed here have not closed their eyes for four days and three nights, and are still busy patrolling and collecting the homeless. As for the rescue and treatment of the wounded, there is really no heart.
"Brothers, hold on a little longer, the leader has already sent a letter to the lord the day before yesterday, and there will be rescue soon!" a group of patrolling soldiers sat on the side of the street resting, everyone with a dish on their faces. Their share of food was removed by three-quarters at once, and they did not have enough to eat for four days in a row, and they did not feel good for anyone with non-stop patrols.
"I hope the lord can hurry up, I really can't take it anymore!" said a veteran in his forties weakly against the wall. Physical exertion is only one aspect, psychological fear is even more tormenting, the roar of heaven and earth dozens of meters high waves from the sky shot from the sky like a nightmare eroded him all the time. The entire Minggang City was as fragile as a newborn baby under the power of heaven and earth, and the desperate howls of the people still echoed in their ears.
"I'm about to lose it too!" the other soldiers nodded, they were too tired.
"The lord will definitely send someone to rush as soon as he receives the news, we can't drop the chain before this......" The captain of the team of soldiers was just halfway through speaking, when suddenly there was a commotion in the distance, and the intermittent sound came into their ears.
"Why do those patrolling soldiers have something to eat, but we don't? Why do we have to live on the streets when the people in their factories have a place to live? If we go on like this, we will die of thirst and sickness if we don't starve!"
"Yes, go to them, we need to eat and dress!"
"Let's go, let's go together, we must give us an explanation. If you don't give us food, we'll rob it, and we'll starve to death anyway!"
All the soldiers' faces changed drastically, and they stood up with a hula, this is about to riot! (To be continued......
