Chapter 12, Departure for Disaster Relief
The next day, Muchen's grandfather Xiao Yuantu and his son, Muchen's uncle Xiao Jun, came to the palace together, and they were served roasted sweet potatoes.
At the dinner table, Xiao Yuantu looked at the roasted sweet potatoes curiously and said, "Xiao Qing, what is this? It should be a high-grade spiritual food. It tastes really good and has a very high amount of spiritual energy. You are really thoughtful."
.”
Mother Xiao was not polite, she took out a big bag of sweet potatoes and said, "Father, this is a good thing we just collected recently. It's called sweet potato. It's a high-grade spiritual food. It's very delicious. You can bring some back later."
, let mother have a taste too."
Xiao Jun: "Little sister, this is too much. It's not cheap. Wouldn't it be good to take so much back?"
"Brother, this is just a thought of mine. I have been in Nanshan City for so long and I haven't seen my mother yet. You can bring it back for me and give her a taste, which will also make her feel at ease." There have been a lot of things going on in the palace recently, and Mother Xiao has not been there yet.
It's time to go back to the city lord's mansion and take a look.
Xiao Jun has doted on his sister since he was a child. When Xiao's mother insisted, he did not refuse: "Okay, I will bring it back to you and let mother have a taste. She will be very happy."
Xiao Yuantu waved his hand and said: "Okay, we will talk about these family matters later. We are here to talk about business today. Chen'er, you are already the prince and the lord of Nanshan County. Even if you are still young, you should learn from
Now that we are dealing with important military and political matters, what are your plans for this disaster relief?"
"Grandpa, I have ordered people to take out 50,000 kilograms of coarse military grain for disaster relief. It will be transported to the disaster area today, and the most severely affected areas will be relieved first. I have also arranged for many doctors and sergeants to prepare to build rice porridge in the disaster area.
We will set up temporary shelters to diagnose and treat patients, distribute food to the victims, and stabilize the disaster situation as soon as possible." As he spoke, Muchen took out a disaster relief plan that had been rushed out overnight and gave it to Xiao Yuantu to analyze.
Muchen had watched a lot of movies and TV shows about disaster relief in his previous life. He was able to consider some precautions carefully and take appropriate measures. The disaster relief plan was very complete, which impressed Xiao Yuantu.
Xiao Yuantu took the plan, nodded, and said: "There is no problem with this plan, but who are you going to let implement it?"
"Grandpa, I plan to go there personally for this disaster relief. Zhenshan Prince's Mansion has just arrived in Nanshan County, and I don't know enough about the local customs and people. The common people still have a superficial respect for our Zhenshan Prince's Mansion. If we really want to come here
To take root, the majesty of Zhenshan Palace alone is not enough, a combination of kindness and power is the best strategy. This disaster relief is a good opportunity to establish the virtues of Zhenshan Palace to ordinary people, so I, the prince, am ready to personally take action."
Xiao Yuantu looked at his grandson and became more and more satisfied. Not only did he act calmly, but he also handled matters steadily. He was not at all reckless and domineering like the rumors in the imperial capital.
"Okay, since Chen'er wants to take action personally, it's hard for grandpa to say anything. As the lord of Nanshan City, I can't give up in the face of disaster. I have also mobilized 30,000 kilograms of coarse grains and a thousand elite city guards. Let your uncle
Lead and go with you to provide disaster relief. Moreover, your uncle is also familiar with the area around Nanshan City. Having him lead the way will also facilitate your disaster relief."
"Thank you very much, uncle."
"Chen'er, let's face it, we are all one family, so we won't talk about two families." It seems that my uncle also has a straightforward character.
At this moment, a handsome soldier wearing white robes and silver armor walked outside. After entering the hall, he knelt on one knee and said, "Come back, Young Marshal, the food and Qianfu soldiers are ready and ready to go at any time."
Muchen: "Brother Luo Cheng, get up quickly and come see my grandpa, the Lord of Xiao City."
Luo Cheng knelt down on one knee again and said, "Luo Cheng, I have met Lord Xiao."
"I have long heard of the reputation of Major General Luo Cheng of the Qianlong Army. Now that I have met him in person, his reputation is well-deserved. He is indeed a young talent with extraordinary strength."
Luo Cheng is an orphan. When he was about to starve to death in his youth, he was rescued by Muchen's father. He was later taken into the army and trained. He showed extraordinary talent since he was a child and made many military exploits. Now he is less than thirty, and his strength has already reached its peak.
He has reached the pinnacle of the Human Martial Realm and is comparable to a strong man in the Earth Martial Realm. He is very famous in the Qianlong Army. He is now the commander-in-chief of the Zhenshan Prince’s Mansion and is in charge of all the soldiers in the Zhenshan Prince’s Mansion. He is also Muchen’s personal bodyguard and the Qianlong Army.
Major General!
The biggest reliance of the Mu family is the Mu family's signature army - the Qianlong Army. Most of the soldiers of the Qianlong Army are talented warriors selected from the Zhenshan Prince's Palace and selected from the poor. They are elites trained by the Mu family.
, can be said to be loyal to the Mu family, and is the most powerful force of the Mu family.
At its peak, the Qianlong Army had millions of soldiers, well-equipped, and countless masters. It was the most elite soldier in the empire. However, in the final battle, not only Muchen's father died, but more than 500,000 Qianlong soldiers were also massacred by the enemy.
After all, there are only more than 400,000 Qianlong soldiers left. Some of them were dispersed by the royal family and assigned to various armies. A large part of the army that is still under the deployment of the Mu family is guarding the border at the border.
Only a small number of people stayed under the command of the Mu family, numbering 90,000. Including the palace's own soldiers, the total strength was about 100,000.
However, the Qianlong Army is the ace strategist of the Celestial Empire. Its equipment and strength are not even a little higher than those of ordinary armies. With just 100,000 people, it is also a terrifying combat power comparable to an army of 300,000 to 400,000 people. In this small Nanshan
County is definitely an existence that can go sideways.
Muchen threw a roasted sweet potato to Luo Cheng and said, "Brother Luo, this is good stuff, try it."
Luo Cheng was not polite, he picked it up and ate it. After all, his relationship with Muchen was unusual. Luo Cheng was not only Muchen's personal guard, but also his sparring partner. Muchen had been beaten up by Luo Cheng since he was a child.
"Okay, Brother Luo, uncle, let's set off now. The disaster is urgent. If we get to the disaster area quickly, we can save one more person."
Xiao Yuantu also patted his son on the shoulder and said: "Jun'er, take good care of your nephew on the road. If Chen'er loses a hair, you are the only one to ask as a father."
"I understand, father, don't worry as I'm here. Then we'll set off."
With that said, the three of them set off together, mounted their horses, and headed out of the city with the food.
Xiao Yuantu looked at Muchen's back, touched his beard, and said: "Xiao Qing, you have a good son. The tiger father has no son. It seems that the Zhenshan Palace has a successor."
Xiao's mother just smiled. Muchen has indeed grown up now. Maybe this disaster is a good thing for Muchen.
………………
On the official road, a large number of sergeants escorted a large amount of food and moved forward. The leaders were none other than Muchen and the others.
Muchen called Xiao Jun and said, "Uncle, where is the most serious disaster now and how long does it take for us to get there?"
"The most severely affected village should be Luoye Village, which is located to the north of Nanshan City. There are few water resources there and it is far away from the mountains and forests. All livelihoods depend on the grain harvest. However, there is little rain this year and the grain harvest is low. As early as a few months ago, there were rumors
Due to the disaster, my father has already sent someone to deliver coarse grains once, but it was only a drop in the bucket. If we march at our speed, we can reach Luoye Village tomorrow afternoon."
Muchen thought for a while and said, "Uncle, does anyone among your men know the path to Luoye Village?"
"Of course there is. The people under me are very familiar with the area around Nanshan City. Almost everyone knows it."
Muchen waved his hand and called Luo Cheng: "Brother Luo, ask a few more agile brothers to lead my uncle's men to Qiaozhuang and rush to Luoye Village before us to collect all the information about the disaster.
.”
Xiao Jun said doubtfully: "Xiaochen, is this necessary? We are going to provide disaster relief, not to fight."
"Uncle, be careful in everything. Disaster relief is a technical job, no easier than fighting. At any time, whoever gets more and more accurate information can take the dominant position. The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and we are no exception.
.”
At this time, Luo Cheng had already recruited dozens of soldiers with agile hands and feet, and after giving instructions, these people galloped away from the team in an instant and headed towards a small road.
Seeing their figures disappear, Muchen yelled: "Thank you, brothers, we are going to rescue people now. If we arrive as soon as possible, one less person will die. Speed up the march and strive to arrive at Luoye Village tomorrow morning. Once completed,
If you provide disaster relief, I will reward you heavily."
