Chapter nine hundred and sixtieth igniting internal worries
Flower Language Plateau.
Known as the land of grace in the Ashan continent.
You can tell by its name, which means that it is a place where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant all year round.
The average altitude here exceeds three thousand meters, and the highest places even exceed six thousand meters. It is a typical plateau and is known as the place closest to the sky, so some people call it the eaves of the sky.
But its geographical location is unique, like a raised sword, piercing the South China Sea. The Dunao Plain controlled by the Yongye Army is only bordered by the northeastern corner of the Huayu Plateau, and its main body is further south.
The tropical environment has neutralized its plateau environment, which not only did not make this place lack vegetation and sparsely populated, but instead made it one of the most suitable living environments for humans.
If it weren't for the fault-like geographical environment that trapped them at a high place, with a large amount of food unable to be transported, the reputation of the largest granary of the Ashan Continent would not have fallen to the Asia Minor Plain, but to the Flower Language Plateau.
.
The large amount of food that cannot be eaten or transported has created a unique drinking culture here. Huayu Plateau is also called the wine country, and drinking has long been a culture that has been implemented in their lives.
This drinking culture has reached a new peak due to the introduction of the new distillation technology led by the Yongye Army. Drunkards who drink excessive amounts of strong liquor and fall drunk on the streets can be seen everywhere.
Taverns are always the liveliest places.
Cheap liquor and cheap perfume smeared on cheap prostitutes created a unique smell that filled it.
Boxing, gambling, and more are common games that can liven up the atmosphere of the entire pub.
However, the most common entertainment here is bragging and spanking. Drinking twice as much cheap liquor can make those farmers, who are usually honest and can't even produce a fart, become the king of control of the entire tavern. Bigger farts.
Small things can blow up to the sky.
Even if the bullies, lords and nobles who usually make them fear them are in front of them, they dare to curse and criticize their usual evil deeds.
Although the result of doing this often makes them pay a heavy price afterwards, many people still enjoy it as long as they don't die.
No way, this is the unique charm of spirits.
What can make one person become another person is often beyond their control.
Now, the most talked about topic in the Huayu Plateau tavern is not the gossip about the local lords and nobles, nor the trivial matters between the neighbors, but the recent abnormal military movements of their neighbor, the Yongye Army Leader.
"I heard that the leader of the Yongye Army is dispatching troops and generals? Preparing for a large-scale invasion of our Huayu Plateau? Is this really true?"
"Little John, which woman's skirt have you got under recently? You don't even know such big news, but we have been discussing it for nearly half a week."
"I can't get out of your mother's crotch. The last time I had a drinking contest with you bastards, I drank a little too much and ended up in a ditch. I broke my leg and had to lie at home for several days!"
"Haha, look at your potential. You haven't touched water in a few days. Come on, give our unlucky little John a big glass of ale to take away the bad luck. It's mine."
"Your wine!"
"This is just like what people do." Little John drank the large glass of ale in one gulp, and then asked, "You haven't answered my question yet? Is this really happening? What do you think of your appearance?
Not worried at all? If a war really breaks out, our town is at the forefront of the war and will most likely be swept away by the flames of war! We will all be unlucky."
"Just put your heart back in your stomach! This war will definitely not start!"
"Why are you so sure?"
"The Yongye Army Leader is not the first, nor the last, to peek at our treasured land of Huayu Plateau, but if you look through the history books, what happened in the end? The biggest war in our Huayu Plateau was still thirty years ago.
"Previously, due to the drunken fight between two barons for the same woman, the outsiders' troops were unable to set foot on our plateau. The rugged and difficult mountain roads would have trapped their army."
"It's different, this time is different, absolutely different. What we are facing this time is not an ordinary enemy, but the leader of the Yongye Army. The leader of the Yongye Army is famous for creating miracles. Maybe the opponent will be the next second.
, the strange soldiers will jump to our Huayu Plateau and become another miracle of war for the rise of the other side."
"Ha... Little John, you don't want to talk about your previous experience of doing business in the Evernight Army, do you? Our ears are almost calloused, can we try something new?"
"That is, it is undeniable that the rise of the Yongye Army Leader is indeed a bit unexpected, and it has indeed brought us many good things that can change our lives, but there is a lot of luck in it, and it does not represent their military strength.
, they have not fought any serious tough battles in recent years."
"Yes, as long as those local lords are not stupid enough to unite and march across the border, they will definitely not be able to cause trouble."
"After talking for a long time, what you rely on in your hearts is still the natural danger, but do you know what is the most powerful thing about the Yongye Army's leadership? They are building mountains, paving roads and building bridges. You have never been to the Yongye Army's leadership, so you really can't imagine them.
How convenient are the roads in the territory?
How fast is the construction speed? When we came back last year, it was still a muddy and difficult-to-walk trail, with grass and trees growing as tall as half a person. When we went back the next year, it had turned into a spacious cement avenue that even a horse-drawn carriage could run on.
's flying.
This situation is not limited to the Donau Plain. There are also countless winding roads in their hometown of the Andis Mountains, which step on the mountains that are difficult to conquer and make them a smooth road.
In terms of the terrain's dangers and ups and downs, the Andes Mountains are not much worse than the cliffs around our Huayu Plateau. As long as they are given a little time, they will turn it into the second Andes Mountains once they cross the natural danger.
What do you think we can do against their army, which is armed to the teeth?
Are those local lords and nobles as lazy as pigs?
To say they are pigs is an insult to pigs.
At least put the pigs in their place, and at most they will eat, sleep, and eat again without misbehaving.
The printing and papermaking techniques that the Yongye Army leaders used to learn knowledge came into their hands and became tools for making money by printing vulgar and obscene works.
On the battlefield, black gunpowder, a sharp weapon for mining and mining, came into their hands and became fireworks and firecrackers for entertainment.
If nothing else, take a look at the defense strength of our town. The police force is old and young. Let alone training, many of them don’t even have weapons. When was the last time we changed our equipment? Ten years ago.
?Fifteen years ago?
The aristocratic private armies of other gentlemen are not necessarily any better than our town, are they?
Just because they can compete with other well-trained regular troops?
When they went to the battlefield, if their legs didn't tremble, I would have celebrated by clapping the table and drinking three glasses of wine for them."
After drinking a few glasses of ale mixed with low-quality spirits, Little John was obviously a little relaxed. He jumped up on a solid wooden table with his legs and started talking loudly.
While detailing the unique advantages of the Yongye Army Leader, he also scolded the decadent noble class of the Huayu Plateau.
Only those who have repeatedly visited the Yongye Military Leader will know the terrifying development speed of this military leader who has only been in full power for about twenty years. Especially when compared with his hometown, which has not changed for thousands of years, the psychological gap is even greater.
Those who have experienced the world of Yongye Army will inevitably compare the two sides, whether in terms of development speed or development model, including the governance models of both sides.
The result is obvious. The original ruling class of the Huayu Plateau was completely defeated, which naturally attracted great resentment and condemnation.
"Little John, come down here quickly. If you dare to say such treacherous words, you won't be afraid that the noble master's lackeys and thugs will hear you and break your other leg so that you can't get out of the house at all."
"These words are too revolutionary and too red-blooded. If they reach the ears of those noble lords, it will not only be as simple as breaking their legs. Not only will their own lives be involved, but their own family members will also be implicated.
"
"Little John, if you don't shut up, don't blame dad for not caring about his kindness and kicking you out. You want to die yourself and don't bring trouble to dad and dad's tavern."
"Little John must be drunk, and very drunk. What he said just now was all drunken talk. Drag him down quickly."
"I'm not drunk. I know what I'm talking about. I'm not a revolutionary party. I only represent myself. You, a conscientious Huayu Plateau, are waking up your sleeping family members. If you don't act like this, it won't take long.
We are no longer the masters of this plateau."
"He also said that he was not drunk. He was obviously very drunk. When did the plateau belong to us? The plateau belongs to those noble nobles who are above us. Those noble gentlemen are not worried. You can only finish one meal without drinking.
What does a poor guy who drinks the lowest-end food have to worry about? Don’t think that just because you have traveled to a few more places with the caravan and made more trips in and out of the Yongye Army, you think you have become more capable. If you really become more capable, you will be more capable.
You know it yourself, I heard that the leaders of the Yongye Army have made a lot of money, why are you still a poor guy?"
"Haha... How do you know that I have never made any money? Do you know how much profit the Yongye Army made from a trip from the plateau in the first few years? Three hundred percent, this is a single trip, in our plateau
As long as you can transport a glass of wine to Yongye Army, you can sell it for three times the price. When I made the third trip, I had a truck of my own, but it disappeared the next year. You guys
Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Do you still need to ask? It must be thanks to our noble gentlemen."
"That's right, it's thanks to those noble lords that when trade first started, they pushed back and obstructed it. When the trade prospered, they coveted the huge profits, so they cleverly created names and plundered. There were tolls everywhere, and every village, town, town
I can't wait to peel off a layer of oil from those businessmen, especially small businessmen like me who don't have Beijing are the most unlucky.
All the benefits that originally belonged to us have been squeezed out, and the wealth that belongs to us has been sucked clean. The more we run, the more we lose. If it were you, would you still be able to continue this business?
This is our noble lord, this is our noble lord!”
At the end of the sentence, there was unconcealable resentment in Little John's words.
The leader of the Yongye Army once said that cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.
The money they had worked hard to expand was suddenly taken over by others and excluded. Even outsiders felt uncomfortable for them, let alone those involved.
No wonder, in recent years, revolutionary parties on the Huayu Plateau have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Little John's experience is by no means an exception, but a very common thing. This is the consistent behavior of those greedy aristocratic gentlemen, which has never changed for hundreds of years.
If it were in the past, even if they suffered a loss, many people would either swallow their anger or wander into the mountains and become bandits who bring disaster to others.
But this time it's different.
This time there is the Yongye Army Leader, a military leader who started his career by resisting the tyranny of slavery.
A place where more radical ideological trends are brewing.
In particular, after the Warlock Alliance broke hundreds of years of practice and jointly opened an academy with the Yongye Army Leader in Brother Port and held an unprecedented scholar conference, countless sparks of ideas collided.
Many sparks of thought failed to take root in the Yongye Army Leader. After all, there was already a prosperous and energetic ruling class there.
Instead, following the footsteps of the merchants, they were brought to various territories. On those rotten lands, masses of flames were ignited, burning more and more intensely, trying to completely ignite this rotten land.
Only by burning all the decaying forces to ashes can new trees thrive on top of the ashes.
This is the party constitution declaration of the Ashes Party, which has a profound influence on the Huayu Plateau.
They strive to overthrow the existing decadent aristocratic class in the Huayu Plateau and establish a more complete and powerful territorial state.
The emergence of the Ash Party undoubtedly dropped a huge boulder into the stagnant water of the Huayu Plateau, splashing not only waves but also countless fishy muddy waters.
Not only did the nobles and nobles regard them as wild beasts and tried to annihilate them completely, but even the ordinary citizens also regarded them as snakes and scorpions.
The reason why ordinary citizens have this reaction is that they are not knowledgeable enough and it is difficult to understand their thoughts.
Secondly, they have maintained this lifestyle for generations and have become numb and accustomed to it. They are afraid of change and cannot adapt to change.
Little John's remarks in favor of the Revolutionary Party undoubtedly set off a big firecracker in this small tavern, completely igniting the atmosphere and making many people panic and at a loss as to what to do, wishing they could stop each other's mouths.
Because they are afraid that listening to such rebellious remarks will bring unnecessary disaster to themselves.
Under normal circumstances, Little John still knew how to exercise some restraint. This time, affected by the military movements of the Yongye Army and the stimulation of alcohol, he could no longer hold back.
