Chapter 348: It is the duty of a strong man to serve his country!
Yang Wengzi was startled.
He thought carefully and said uncertainly: "I don't know exactly how many people are infected, but I came back from Bushan County in Guilin County. Guilin County is one of the three major counties established by the imperial court in Lingnan.
Except for Nanhai County, it is the county closest to the Baiyue tribe."
"Even I have been infected with malaria. I'm afraid there will be many infected people in the army."
"even......"
Yang Wengzi hesitated for a moment and said in surprise: "If the plague came from Nanhai County or the Baiyue tribe, I'm afraid the situation in Nanhai County would be even worse. But Mr. Qin asked why this happened?"
Qin Luoheng looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Is there an outbreak of plague in the Baiyue tribe?"
Yang Wengzi said: "There should be some, but the Baiyue tribe is small in number, and their leaders are always ruthless in doing things. Once someone is found to be infected with the disease, they will be killed on the spot. If it is just malaria, it will not have a great impact on them.
"
Qin Luoheng said: "Now the plague has broken out in the three counties of Lingnan, and most of the people stationed in Lingnan are imperial soldiers, and almost no people have moved there. Does this mean that this plague will directly cause the army's combat effectiveness to be greatly reduced?
?”
"also."
"Although I asked the imperial court to rush to send prescriptions, after treatment, the soldiers will inevitably have some physical conditions. In other words, most of the soldiers in the three counties of Lingnan are actually still in a state of rest. If the number of infected soldiers is large,
I’m worried something will happen to Lingnan!”
Yang Duanhe said:
"That shouldn't happen."
"A plague has just broken out in Lingnan. If the imperial court knows about it, how can the tribes in Lingnan not know about it? Since ancient times, if a plague breaks out in a place, there will definitely be an embarrassing situation where no one enters the place for several years. How can the Baiyue tribe dare to take the risk?"
Is this risk?"
Qin Luoheng shook his head.
said:
"I do not think so."
"According to common sense, when a plague breaks out in Lingnan, the Baiyue tribe must avoid it, but now the plague has been controlled, and the Baiyue tribe is ruthless, and the number of people is sparse, and malaria is not that kind of severe plague.
, as long as you act decisively, you may not suffer huge losses."
"If the plague is not under control, the Baiyue tribe will naturally not dare to invade, but if the news comes out that the imperial court can cure malaria, can the Baiyue tribe still stand still? At the moment, our great Qin warriors are all in the recuperation stage, and their combat power is greatly reduced. If
If the Baiyue tribe raises their troops to invade, they may catch our army by surprise."
"after all......"
"Even General Yang thinks that the Baiyue tribe will not invade, let alone the soldiers who are guarding them? They are calculated mentally but not intentionally. If the generals of the guard are careless and fail to strengthen their defenses, they may even weaken their defenses due to the plague. In this case, Baiyue will
Once the tribe invades, the Qin army may suffer heavy losses."
Yang Wengzi's expression changed.
The faces of the others also changed when they heard this.
They obviously understood what Qin Luoheng was talking about.
They still had inertial thinking about the plague, believing that a plague broke out in Lingnan, so the Baiyue tribe did not dare to invade. However, if the Baiyue tribe knew that the plague in Lingnan had been controlled, they might not really dare to send troops.
Because the plague came suddenly and quickly, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were naturally panic-stricken. Coupled with their common knowledge about plagues in the past, they might really relax their vigilance. In addition, many soldiers were infected with the disease, and there was bound to be a panic in the military camp.
If this happens, Baiyue will send troops.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
They no longer dared to think too much about that scene.
Yang Wengzi broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and said uneasily: "Based on my understanding of the new leader of Baiyue, Jie Jun, this man is a madman, so he may not be able to do this."
"no!"
"I want to write a book for the county captain to remind him to be more careful. If something happens in Lingnan, it will definitely cause a series of changes in the world. I am afraid that the six regions of Shandong will also be in turmoil. I, Yang Wengzi, have already made a big mistake. How can I do it again?
Wrong again and again?!”
Finished.
Yang Wengzi went to the study without looking back.
The military situation is a matter of great urgency, and there must be no delay.
Others dare not stop it.
at this time.
The way Yang Duanhe, Hua Ji and others looked at Qin Luoheng suddenly changed. In the past, they looked at Qin Luoheng with the look of a tenth master, but at this time, they suddenly discovered that Qin Luoheng's talent even
Whether he is a tenth prince or not, he is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
This mentality of being prepared for danger in times of peace is truly commendable.
Gan Luo said: "Can the Baiyue tribe still gather a large army to attack now? I remember that during the last expedition to Baiyue, the Baiyue leader Yi Xusong was killed, and most of the Baiyue tribe's army was also killed at that time. They
Can we really raise our troops to counterattack?"
Gan Luo had some doubts.
Yang Duanhe retorted directly:
"No!"
"What Yang Wengzi is worried about is not that the Baiyue tribe will send troops, but that the army will be unprepared for a while and lose to the Xiou army led by Jie Jun. The morale of the Qin Dynasty is low at the moment. If it suffers a defeat, it is inevitable that the morale of the army will be shaken. In addition, the plague has not yet been completely eliminated.
Eradication, when people are in panic, it is easy for the army to erupt in camp roars."
"The casualties will undoubtedly be extremely tragic!"
"The morale of the military cannot be shaken."
"The Lingnan army has already left their hometown. Most of them have been in Lingnan for several years. They are not comfortable with the environment in Lingnan and are deeply homesick. Now they are suffering from the plague. If they also face a big defeat and double bad news, their emotions will probably get out of control.
Lingnan will be really in danger."
"Yang Wengzi's worries are not unreasonable."
"Besides."
"Nothing is trivial in the army."
"How can a general who leads an army lose a big thing because of a small thing?"
Gan Luo nodded.
Qin Luoheng also frowned slightly.
What Yang Duanhe said was exactly what he was worried about.
In fact, the Lingnan garrison and Baiyue's Xiou Army have always had victories and defeats, but the situation now is different from the past. Lingnan has just suffered a plague and its morale has not yet recovered. If it suffers a big defeat at this time, life and death crises will arise in the mind, and homesickness will arise.
The love will become stronger, and the desire to return home may become unbearable.
When.
The panic may get out of control.
Once something goes wrong in Lingnan, it will have a chain reaction. Although the nobles and scholars from the six countries are still being chased and intercepted by the government, many people have successfully escaped. If they hear that something happened to the Qin army in Lingnan, they will probably go directly to the local area.
Start to cause chaos.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then Da Qin will be really in chaos!
This is something Qin Luoheng never wants to see.
soon.
Yang Wengzi wrote the letter and sent it out.
He walked back into the lobby again, worry and nervousness could not be concealed in his eyes.
He said slowly: "I have written to Liu Yi, the lieutenant of Guilin County, and asked him to inform the lieutenants of Nanhai County and Xiang County about this, so that they can take more precautions. I just hope that the people of the Baiyue tribe do not notice this.
Fighter planes, otherwise something big might happen in Lingnan."
Qin Luoheng raised his head slightly and said, "May I ask General Yang, how are the soldiers in Lingnan doing?"
Yang Wengzi looked hesitant, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "The situation of the soldiers is not optimistic, otherwise I would not be so worried. The Army Sergeant Wu has been in Lingnan for too long, and his homesickness has become more and more rampant, and the three counties are even more worried from time to time.
Some soldiers fled the camp."
"Today's Lingnan soldiers almost all have sadness on their faces."
"The environment in Lingnan is really harsh. When we first arrived in Lingnan, the tribes here didn't even know how to make tiles or cut down trees. They relied on fishing and hunting for a living. Moreover, our soldiers were very unaccustomed to going there.
.”
"The originally strong soldiers were tanned not long after they left, and their skin was even peeling off. Their eye sockets were horribly large, their cheekbones were horribly high, their mouths were horribly big, and they could hardly see the stockiness of the old Qin people.
Stronger."
"Because of the hot weather over there, all the soldiers behind took off their leather and iron armor, and even their combat boots. Everyone's upper body was wrapped in a black cloth, with a hakama to one side, and their lower body was wearing a short and short ankle-length collar.
He wears narrow muslin trousers, and because he walks barefoot, the soles of his feet are as black and as hard as iron."
"Today's elite soldiers of the Qin Army have completely lost the might and stamina that intimidated their minds in the past. The poor refugees who are completely struggling to make a living are really miserable."
Speaking of which.
Yang Wengzi felt sour and hot in his heart.
He served as a general in Lingnan for a long time and saw the changes in the soldiers with his own eyes, so he was deeply touched by this.
Everyone present was silent.
How could they not know the hardships in Lingnan?
Just hearing what Yang Wengzi said, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. The soldiers in Lingnan were not even remotely civilized. They were almost the same as the barbarians in Lingnan.
Qin Luoheng also remained silent.
He actually heard some subtext.
The soldiers in Lingnan had no sense of belonging to Lingnan, and they did not know what the imperial court's intention was in conquering Lingnan, because in the eyes of the world, Lingnan was an uncivilized place, and it was not worth the imperial court's efforts.
At that time, the State of Chu signed a treaty with the Baiyue tribe. Although the two had a certain affiliation, they were not close in fact. The two sides had always been in a state of aloofness. Now Da Qin is indeed determined to take Lingnan as its own. In the eyes of everyone,
It seems that the gains outweigh the losses.
They all believed that they should imitate the Chu State and sign an alliance with the Baiyue tribe.
but.......
Qin Luoheng disagreed.
The indigenous tribes of the South China Sea have no written language of their own and no written laws. They live a life of wood and stone fishing, hunting, and slash-and-burn farming. They respect wizards, just like the ancient barbaric tribes, but after all, they are outside the culture of the Qin Dynasty.
Cultural differences will inevitably cause disputes.
As the conflict between the two deepens, the hatred between the two sides will only become more intense. However, the Baiyue tribe has not developed yet, but if the Baiyue tribe is given another period of time, they will have to wait until they have digested the advanced knowledge passed down from Great Qin.
Things, then Southern Xinjiang will eventually suffer from China.
Da Qin is just controlling hidden dangers in advance!
Expanding territory requires paying a huge price, and this is a crime for the present generation and a benefit for the future. How can we only care about immediate gains and losses?
It was impossible for him to object to this matter.
Qin Luoheng said:
"A strong man serves his country. What's his duty?"
"The current environment in Lingnan is indeed difficult, but it cannot be changed. Throughout the ages, there have been many barren mountains and rivers, but now Guanzhong and the six places in Shandong have become livable places. It is not easy to open up territory and expand territory, and bloodshed and sacrifice are naturally inevitable.
.”
"but."
"Soldiers' homesickness is indeed a problem."
"I will go to the imperial court to resolve it."
"In addition, Da Qin has established three counties in Lingnan for three or four years, but the current situation in Lingnan has never been improved. This time, a plague broke out, which is enough to show that the governance of Lingnan in recent years has been ineffective.
