[Chapter 439] The beacon smoke in Yansui Town (Part 1)

(0439)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

Yansui Town and Yulin City are as calm as before.

It's also funny. Yansui Town had no feeling about the sudden appearance of the White Army. When the Qiang District of Zhen was conquered, there was no news at all. The officials and civilians here, all the military households, still do whatever they should do. Announcements were posted in every corner of the city to go to Ningxia Town to quell the rebellion. From time to time, there were sporadic military households coming to see each other. Unfortunately, they didn't recognize words and couldn't understand them, so they walked away again.

Not recognizing words is definitely the original sin of this era. If you recognizing words, the military households in Yansui Town should have known the name of the White Army for a long time. Because they do not recognizing words, the news they received came from the notices or rumors. As a result, when the news about the White Army for the top was blocked, they knew nothing. As for Xu Xingxia's name, it was still the rumor. This name is also a taboo now and cannot be mentioned anymore.

The general officer of Yansui Town was named Cheng Guo. He was originally the deputy general officer stationed in Ji Town. He was transferred to Yansui Town as the general officer of Yansui Town a year ago. However, he was not in Yulin City at all, but in Xi'an Prefecture. There was no way, the conditions of Yansui Town were indeed too bad. There was severe drought here, with wind and sand everywhere, and the crop yield was very low, so it was impossible to be self-sufficient. It was absolutely impossible to rely on Yansui Town to support itself. Many people have tried it, but they failed.

But most of the military households in Yansui Town are tough people. When they encounter unsatisfactory things, they will get up. Compared with Yansui Town, the *** in Ningxia Town is really nothing. The *** in Ningxia Town is largely due to the rampage of the Tartars. When there is no Tartars rampage, it will basically be calm. However, Yansui Town is not. The *** in Yansui Town is entirely from the inside, and the successive generals have never had a complete solution.

Cheng Guo was a new general officer and almost couldn't stand firm. Because of the mistakes in some links in the middle, Yansui Town had a period of chaos. A large number of military households ran to Ningxia Town and finally entered Xu Xingxia's territory. The food and salary would not fall from the sky or grow out of the ground. There was no way, so he had to ask for help from his superiors. Cheng Guo was stationed in Xi'an Prefecture every day, just "grinding" his boss, hoping to get more money and food. Nowadays, everything is fake, but money and food are real.

After all, the reason why the military households get up is because they can’t eat enough, wear warm clothes, and cannot support their families. No matter who they encounter such a situation, they probably cannot calm down. It is absolutely impossible not to get up. In real history, after Emperor Wanli passed away, Emperor Taichang’s first thing to do was to pay food and pay from important towns in the nine borders and comfort the hearts of the military households. Otherwise, I really don’t know what kind of thing would happen. Emperor Chongzhen forgot this and ended up in a tragedy.
