Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 240

The old emperor passed away, and Chen Qi's rebellious intentions were exposed, which made the crown prince and the eldest prince terrified.

But they still look forward to sitting on the supreme position.

The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and the ministers in the court have been fighting madly over who will succeed the throne.

Logically speaking, the crown prince was personally appointed by the old emperor, and his name was recorded in the jade disc, which had been announced to the heavens, the earth, and the ancestors. He is the legitimate heir and can succeed to the throne after the emperor's death!

But which group of ministers doesn’t want to be credited with following the emperor?

The emperor's wills and imperial edicts appeared one after another, and the authenticity of each fake will and fake oral order was debated in the court every day.

What is fake is fake, but there are many people who hope that what is fake is real.

The crown prince and the eldest prince, one is the legitimate heir and the other is the eldest, both have the possibility of succeeding to the throne, but the legitimate crown prince has a greater chance of winning.

However, Chen Qi supported the eldest prince to succeed to the throne.

The prince lost silently.

The capital city was under the control of Chen Qi. The prince's party argued for a few sentences, but when they realized they could not win, they stopped arguing immediately, leaving the prince alone in a daze, being carried back to the East Palace by the eunuchs.

He knew very well what would happen to him. Once the eldest prince ascended the throne, he would never let him go, nor would he let the people around him go!

How to do? ?

The eldest prince was immersed in great surprise. He suddenly got what he had always dreamed of, and he felt very elated.

At a time of internal and external troubles, the people of Korea on the border were also watching covetously.

Chao State is connected to Dasheng State with mountains as the boundary. This country is very poor, but even more powerful.

Because of the scarcity of resources, they dreamed of taking over Dasheng every day and harassed the border from time to time, but they could not win the battles, and they could not lose fatally even if they lost - every time they were defeated, they sent beauties and money, paid tribute and married women to save their lives. After the marriage, they would be quiet for a while, but soon they would fall into bad habits again. There were no major battles, but constant harassment.

The generals advocated expanding the territory, but the old emperor did not care about this small country at all and thought that this country would never be able to achieve anything.

In this way, the Korean state survived. Although life was difficult, it really deserves praise for its perseverance and shamelessness.

This time, floods and snowstorms hit Dasheng one after another, but they, as a neighboring country, did not suffer serious disasters. When they learned that the people in Dasheng were living in misery, they rushed over without thinking and stepped on them.

At first, he just incited the refugees and encouraged them to fight against the military, making the national situation in Dasheng worse. However, under Chen Qi's harsh suppression, he calmed down for a while and went into hiding.

But they are the prince's only way to survive.

The prince and the state of Chao reached a cooperation.

Although he never ascended the throne, as the crown prince for more than ten years, he knew secrets that the eldest prince could not compare to. It was also because of this that Chaoguo was able to take over Dasheng openly and formed a three-way balance of power with the two domestic forces.

However, Dasheng fell apart under the tug-of-war between the three parties.

After experiencing two major disasters, Dasheng suffered severe population loss, with only a little over half of its population remaining.

During the two years, refugees revolted, wars ensued, and half of the people were killed or injured, leaving the people living in misery.

There is no construction without destruction. Having reached such a situation, although Chen Nuo was reluctant, it was impossible for him to stop. If he took a step back, he would fall into the abyss. He and his followers would be doomed. He could only move forward.

Jiang Yipei was reluctant at the beginning, but later became Chen Nuo's right-hand man, but he only took care of the rear and refused to go to the battlefield.

Chen Nuo also wanted Jiang Suying to be a doctor in the army, but Jiang Yipei firmly disagreed and gave up.

Jiang Yipei had seen the battlefield before, and it was so cruel that he couldn't describe it. Anyway, the first time he saw it, he was so angry that he vomited his gall. In his dreams, he saw corpses with hideous wounds crawling towards him, asking him to save them.

Jiang Yipei stayed alone with Chen Nuo. Jiang Suying opened a class to train quick-trained surgeons and sent them to the military camp to serve as military doctors.

The two counties of Chunzhou became Chen Nuo's granary.

After the Grain Rain two years ago, the weather has been warming up. Although we experienced another earthquake, the bad weather has never recurred. Nature has returned to the four distinct seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes grown in Jiangjia Village are fruitful, with sweet potato yields of 7000 kilograms per mu and potato yields of 4000 kilograms per mu. The sweet potatoes and potatoes grown have stable genes and stable yields per mu.

Potato seeds takeout, benefit the whole community.

Later, as more was planted, Jiang Yipei sent people to buy it and send it to Chen Nuo's army, solving Chen Nuo's food and fodder problem at the time.

At that time, although the climate had returned to normal, the war was severe, and all forces were desperately recruiting soldiers. A large amount of land was uncultivated, and the food shortage situation not only did not improve, but became worse.

Countless people died in battle or from starvation.

However, Jiangjia Village with its high village walls is like a paradise. There are many lookout towers in the village, which are manned every day. The soldiers under Jiang Xiaomi have duty clerks every day, and they go to the lookout towers to take up their duties.

The platform is high up and you can see far, so those who approach with bad intentions will have nowhere to hide.

Once, there was a group of people who somehow found their way to Jiangjia Village. Seeing the high walls there, they guessed that there must be good things inside, so they immediately attacked Jiangjia Village. When they found that they were defeated, they either fled, begged for mercy, or asked for help.

Kill them all, leaving no one behind.

Jiang Xiaomi went crazy and killed people.

This was Jiang Xiaomi's first time killing someone, it was also Jiang Xiubai's first time seeing Jiang Xiaomi killing someone, and it was also his first time killing someone.

Bright red blood splattered on her face, like a Shura in the dark night, and next to her lay Old Master Jiang, who had died blocking the knife for her.

Because Jiang Xiaomi had never killed anyone before, she hesitated when she was about to kill, which resulted in the death of Old Master Jiang.

She was later killed by that man and buried on her knees in front of Old Master Jiang's grave.

Jiang Xiaomi said, "Grandpa, I'm sending him down to accompany you. I'll be your slave and servant forever."

But Old Master Jiang couldn't hear it, and couldn't come back.

The old patriarch who knelt in front of the ancestral tomb and asked the ancestors to bless his descendants has become the new ancestor. It is his turn to bless the Jiang family's descendants.

Under his protection, the descendants of Jiangjia Village will surely have a long and prosperous future.

In this battle, every citizen of Jiangjia Village fought bravely and fought to the death, some died and some were injured.

Thirteen people died.

Forty-eight people were seriously injured.

Eighty-nine people were slightly injured.

It was also through this battle that people discovered that the young boys who had practiced martial arts with Jiang Xiaomi for more than a year had become so powerful. Although they were afraid in the face of the enemy, they would never retreat and stood shoulder to shoulder with their tribesmen to resist the outsiders.

It's the spring equinox again.

This is Jiang Xiaomi's third spring equinox in this ancient time.

The rice seedling cultivation started a few days ago. The rice seeds purchased from Jiang Xiubai's system are well adapted to the ancient environment, and the genes of the rice seeds are stable. The yield has increased to nearly 6 shi, which is more than 700 kilograms. Although it is indeed a bit shabby compared with the modern yield of one thousand or even several thousand kilograms, it is doubled compared with the ancient local yield.

Every acre has doubled!

What a concept!

Jiang Xiubai stood beside Jiang Xiaomi and said, "I really hope this war will end soon. Let's promote all agricultural products throughout Dasheng. I believe that all places will prosper soon."

"It will be soon. My father sent a message saying that Prince Qi wants a truce. They are constantly fighting and farming is not going well, so how can they have food and fodder for the war?" Jiang Xiaomi rolled up her trouser legs and went down to check the rice seedlings.

"Are they planning to rest and recuperate for a few years, gather enough food, and then continue fighting?"

Jiang Xiaomi smiled and said, "They wonder if County Magistrate Chen will agree."

People in Luoshui County were still accustomed to calling Chen Nuo "Mr. Chen," even though he had announced to the world that he was the son of the late King Qin, and was supported by the people and named King Chen.

Chen is the surname of the royal family of Dasheng, and King Chen means emperor.

When Chen Qi heard this, he was furious - why didn't he think of conferring the title of King of Chen instead of King of Qi?

Although Prince Qi did not sit on the throne, he was appointed regent, leaving the emperor without any power, waiting for the right time to become emperor. However, after fighting for almost two years, he still could not unify the country, and his patience was almost worn out.

The most worrying thing is that there is no food or fodder. The soldiers are so hungry that their hands and feet are weak. Can they go to the battlefield to gain military merit?

He discussed with the ministers in the court for a long time and finally decided to negotiate a truce. Let the world be divided into three parts. If they continued to fight, all the people would be killed. Even if he sat on the throne - would he be an emperor without a ruler?

North Korea also agreed. Many of their supplies are now shipped from their own country. North Korea is originally a small country. Even if it had not suffered a disaster, how much supplies would it have?

It has been a great effort for the entire country to support the two-year war here. They just asked for a vast piece of arable land. Now that they have it, what else can they be dissatisfied with!

But Chen Nuo disagreed.

Prince Qi and the Chao Kingdom were puzzled as to why they didn't agree!

Isn’t the situation good now?

Where does Chen Nuo get his food and supplies from? Why can’t he finish all of them? He just can’t finish all of them!

Among the three armies, Chen Nuo's soldiers had the best spirits. They looked like the kind of people who would not be hungry even if they didn't have enough to eat. It's just that their soldiers were generally shorter and weaker than those of Chen Qi and Chaoguo. Otherwise, the three-way stalemate would not have lasted for so long and would have been destroyed by Chen Nuo's side long ago.

When Chen Qi and Chaoguo had sufficient food and grass, nothing was noticeable. But when the food and grass were short and the soldiers' physical strength was reduced, Chen Nuo's advantage became apparent.

Both armies wanted to know the source of Chen Nuo's food and grass, so they sent out spies to find out. At first they had no clue, but later they found that every time they reached Qingzhou, the clues were cut off. They thought there must be something fishy, ​​but before they could figure it out, Chen Nuo led his army to attack.

After two years of war, the winner was Chen Nuo.

Because he has a cheat.

Having Jiang Yipei is like having Jiang Xiaomi and Jiang Xiubai.

With such a unique advantage, it would be unreasonable for him not to win.

Chen Nuo made public the fact that the old emperor had killed his brother and father, and had tampered with the previous emperor's will. He also set an auspicious day for the next month to officially ascend the throne and began to vigorously develop agriculture.

Agriculture is the foundation of a country.

If it weren't for the food and grass support from the two counties of Chunzhou, he would not have become the final winner.

In Jiangjia Village, a huge group of naked cars stopped at the entrance of the village. Jiang Yipei returned to his hometown after two years away. He did not see his grandfather rushing over, but many of the people who greeted him more than two years ago were still there.

"Apei!" Jiang Lizheng's eyes were red: "Okay, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

When Jiang Yipei followed County Magistrate Chen, he had considered many things. It just so happened that at that time, he and Jiang Suying were able to enter Jiang Xiaomi's space for some unknown reason. They could even enter the space for one hour every day in their physical bodies. If the hour was not used up, it would be accumulated to the next hour.

That is to say, if you only stay in the space for five minutes today and then leave, then next time you come in you can stay for a maximum of one hour and fifty-five minutes.

If it weren’t for some means of saving his life, Jiang Yipei would actually be scared, and could only say - he caught up.

But he would not use the space or the supplies in the space unless it was absolutely necessary. There was only one time, when he and County Magistrate Chen fell off a cliff and there was no rescue waiting, so he had to take out something to eat, as saving his life was the most important thing!

After talking to everyone for a few words, Jiang Yipei went home. He was anxious to see his wife and children. Although they contacted each other every day to report safety, except for Jiang Suying, he had never seen his two children!

As soon as he stepped into the house, he heard his Xiaomi's voice: "Dad!"

Jiang Yipei looked up and saw Jiang Xiaomi rushing towards him like a cannonball. He quickly stretched out his arms to catch her: "Oh! Your explosive power——"

"You're not bad! You can handle my acceleration!" Jiang Xiaomi patted her father's chest: "Oh my - Dad has practiced before!"

"That's right. If you don't practice, you won't be able to run away if someone comes running towards you with a knife. Wife..." Seeing Jiang Suying, Jiang Yipei suddenly felt inexplicably wronged: "These past two years have been a life that no one can live!"

"Have you ever heard of this saying?" Jiang Suying hugged her husband and left. The three children were there and it would have a bad influence.

Jiang Yipei: “What?”

"You are wronged, and that is even greater!"

Three children: "..."

What is this? It sounds so embarrassing.

But Jiang Yipei loves to listen!

Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Jiang Xiaomi said tactfully, "How about we go?"

"You don't have to leave yet." Jiang Yipei let go of Jiang Suying and asked the others, "Do you want to go to County Magistrate Chen's coronation ceremony?"

"Go!" Jiang Xiaomi was the first to raise her hand, followed by the other two.

Now that we are here in ancient times, we should go to the imperial palace if we have the chance! Let's see how it is different from the Hengdian in TV!

Three people: "When are you going?"

"Take a break! I just came back! I need to catch my breath!" Jiang Yipei said, "The ceremony will be held in two months. It only takes half a month to get to the capital. Don't rush, take your time."

Then he asked everyone mysteriously, "Guess what position County Magistrate Chen wants to give me?"

Jiang Xiumian grinned wickedly: "Regent?" His father's wish was to become a regent or a great general, second only to the emperor.

"Go away!" Jiang Yipei drove the man away: "What regent, you want to die! In the past two years, I have finally realized that I can't handle this ancient officialdom. If it weren't for County Magistrate Chen's unconditional trust in me, I don't know how many times I would have been framed."
