Chapter 238 Emperor Da Luo, He Has Been Blackened!
After experiencing the once-in-a-hundred-year ice disaster, the invasion of the Great Xia, and the troubled times of the Nine Tombs, his national power has already been greatly damaged, and he wants to rely on this autumn to recover his capital.
As a result, unexpectedly, locust plagues and droughts occurred again, and all the food was destroyed.
Without food, what will Da Luo do?
How do the people of Daluo live?
He couldn't help looking at the sky in confusion.
Since I became the throne, I have always put the country, the society, and the people as the most important thing, and I have worked hard, and I dare not slack off in the slightest, and I have never done anything that angers people.
right?
What did he do wrong?
At this moment, an official ran in at him in a hurry.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are currently a large number of Da Luo people who are dragging their families to Da Xia with their families!"
"Let's just go, don't worry about it!"
Emperor Da Luo waved his hand listlessly.
In the past, it was not that there were no Daluo people who went to Daxia to seek life.
However, most of the people who left were refugees or beggars, and the common people with houses and land did not leave, so he didn't care much.
It is a good thing for Da Luo that these people who live in no fixed place are gone, which reduces the management cost.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter this time!"
The official continued to say anxiously: "At least tens of millions of people will leave this time!"
"What? Tens of millions of people?!" Emperor Da Luo was shocked.
You must know that Da Luo's current total population is only 18 million, barely reaching the dynasty standard.
This has left more than 10 million people, which is equivalent to half of the people who have left!
If half of the country's population is lost, not only will the country's strength be greatly damaged, but it will also be completely paralyzed!
"Did tens of millions of people really leave?" Emperor Da Luo asked.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true, I dare not deceive you!"
"Why are they leaving?" Emperor Da Luo asked again.
The minister's face was serious: "Your Majesty, because of the locust plague and drought, we have no food in Daluo!"
Emperor Da Luo nodded in a daze: "Yes, let's go when we run out of food!"
He understands very well, can he stay and starve?
Life is gone!
However, he cannot let the people go.
Because if they really leave, Da Luo is really doomed!
"Stop them immediately, and none of them are allowed to leave!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As a result, the gateway to Daxia was blocked by heavy troops, and no one was allowed to cross the border.
The common people are very excited.
"Why? Why don't you let us pass?"
"We can't survive anymore, what's wrong with going to Daxia to make a living?"
"You cannot restrict our freedom!"
There was also a physical confrontation between the two parties.
At this moment, Emperor Da Luo rushed over, seeing the situation, he hurriedly comforted him loudly.
"Everyone, please don't get excited, listen to me first!"
Under his comfort, the people gradually calmed down.
"Everyone in Da Luo, let me ask you first, how have I treated you all these years? Have I ever failed you?" Emperor Da Luo said loudly.
The common people looked at each other in blank dismay.
At this moment, an old man who looked quite educated walked out, cupped his hands and said to Emperor Da Luo: "We have seen what His Majesty has done these years!"
"Since your majesty ascended the throne, you have punished powerful enemies externally, punished corrupt officials internally, recuperated, and encouraged production! Under your wise leadership, our life is getting better and better. You are a rare and good king!"
Everyone joined in one after another.
"Yes, Your Majesty is a good emperor!"
"Under your wise leadership, our days are indeed getting better!"
"You are wise and powerful, you can be called a Mingjun!"
"In this case, why do you still want to leave?" Emperor Da Luo said sadly: "I treat you so sincerely, why do you want to leave?"
The common people once again looked at each other in blank dismay, a little silent.
It was the same old man who shouted bitterly: "Your Majesty, we can't go if we don't go. If we don't go, we will have no way out! As you know, we have experienced the rare drought and locust plague in 50 years. Grain! We managed to grow some food, but we were devastated by locusts! There is no food here...how can we live`"?"
This remark once again won the approval of the common people.
"Yeah, if we don't leave, we really can't survive!"
"Without food, what do you want us to eat and drink?"
"We can't wait to die, right? We have to find a way out!"
"We just want to ask for a meal, is that wrong?"
"I also know everyone's difficulties! To be honest, I am as heartbroken as you are!"
Emperor Da Luo beat his heart and lungs and said: "In order to solve the locust plague, I have used various methods, but you have all seen it, but it is still useless! Seeing the locusts gnawing on the fertile fields, my heart hurts so much, I can't wait to rush up Instead, let them eat their own flesh and blood, and let the food go!"
After hearing this, the people were all moved to tears.
In fact, during the locust plague, their majesty did well enough.
Ask for poison from Taoism to kill locusts.
After the poison was useless, he led the soldiers to kill the locusts.
Sleepless and restless, he fought continuously for more than half a month.
Although it is still a failure, this determination and hard work are enough to make the people cry.
May I ask, is there any emperor in the world who can do this step?
"My fellow countrymen and family members!"
Emperor Da Luo said sincerely: "Although we lost this locust plague, our fighting spirit has not lost! We have gone through so many hardships, and we will definitely get through this time!"
"So, everyone stay here, let us join hands, the Western Zhou Dynasty is difficult!"
"You don't let me down, and I will never let you down!"
After the common people listened to it, many people were really moved and decided to stay.
But at this moment, a vigorous young man rushed out.
"Honestly, I've had enough!"
He said angrily: "Your Majesty, do you see how many natural and man-made disasters we have experienced this year?"
"Since last year, you have been implementing reforms to develop the economy and people's livelihood like Daxia. We are very supportive! But in the end, the reforms failed, our economy was hit hard, and our wallets were empty!"
"Later, due to various reasons, the grain harvest was in short supply. In order to solve the food problem, you sent troops to the Dafeng Dynasty. As a result, not only did you not get back the grain, but everyone died! My brother died in that battle. Can't find any!"
"Afterwards, I experienced the once-in-a-hundred-year ice disaster. I don't need to tell you the situation, everyone knows it! During that ice disaster, my cattle died, and my old mother also died. dismal!"
"This year, I thought it would get better, but it's not as good as it is every year!"
"Your Majesty, you offended Da Xia at the beginning of the new year, causing their soldiers to come over and rob us of a lot of food and property!"
"After that, there will be chaos in the Nine Tombs. Millions of martial arts practitioners will cause disasters in the village, and the people will live in dire straits!"
"Until now, there have been droughts and locust plagues..."
He issued a strong complaint: "Your Majesty, do you know how hard we have been through this year? We are just ordinary people who just want to live well. What's wrong with that? Why can't such a simple request be satisfied? I?"
Other ordinary people seemed to have been hammered in the chest.
Thinking of what happened in the past year, I can't help but come from it.
"Yeah, this year is too bitter!"
"I don't even know what's the point of living!"
"If it wasn't for the children, I would have gone there long ago!"
Emperor Da Luo once again comforted softly: "I know, I know, don't get excited, everything is easy to discuss, and everything can be resolved......
"Your Majesty, how do you resolve these matters?"
It was the same young man who shouted in grief and indignation: "Have you solved the natural and man-made disasters that happened in the past?"
"This..." Emperor Da Luo was speechless.
"If the same thing happens in the future, can you fix it?"
"I..." Emperor Da Luo was speechless again.
"You can't solve a single thing!"
The young man was very disappointed and said: "So, what am I going to do here? Instead of pinning your hopes on you, it's better to put your hopes on yourself! So please be merciful, Your Majesty, and let us go there!"
The other commoners said in unison: "Your Majesty, please be merciful and let us go!"
Shock the sky!
At this moment, Emperor Yin Luo's heart was tasted!
The people of Daluo would rather leave than go through the hardships with him!
In other words, he was abandoned by his own people!
In the past, he had treated them with all his heart and soul, but in exchange for this ending?
I gave everything for the country and the people, and this is what I got!
At this moment, he seemed to have seen through human nature, his heart turned cold, and he laughed sadly: "Okay, okay, you all betrayed me! I have paid so much, and this is what I got! I will tell you now …
"Don't go! None of you are allowed to go!"
"Even if you die, you will die on the land of Daluo!!!"
The last sentence was almost roared out.
The people of Daluo were all excited.
"Why are you not allowed to go?"
"Even if you are the emperor, you can't act like this!"
"You're trying to kill us!"
Some civilians have had physical conflicts with the soldiers, and the battle is imminent.
However, Emperor Da Luo said indifferently: "The three armies obey orders! Anyone who intends to break through will be served with sticks, life or death will not matter!"
"Your Majesty, many people will die like this!" an official pleaded.
"They are all a bunch of wolves, and death is not a pity!" Emperor Da Luo walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
After he left, a fierce conflict broke out here!
Because of the emperor's permission, the soldiers here are particularly ruthless.
All of a sudden, blood flowed into rivers and wailed everywhere.
"Foolish Lord! Faint Lord!"
"Fun Lord, you must die!"
After returning, Emperor Da Luo immediately issued an order to recruit troops.
All able-bodied men between the ages of 16 and 60 must be recruited into the military camp to serve as soldiers.
As soon as this move came out, the whole country was in an uproar!
"Adult men have to come to serve as soldiers. This means that all the people are soldiers. What does Your Majesty want to do?"
"With so many soldiers recruited, what else can they do besides fighting?"
"Where do you need so many people in a war? Why can't people who have not been trained go to the battlefield? Isn't this a mess?"
"Your Majesty is confused, how could he do this?"
"Oh, Da Luo is going to be in chaos!"
At this time, soldiers have already rushed to the neighborhoods of the townships to increase the number of troops and expand the army.
They searched from house to house and found that all men who met the requirements were taken into the army.
"Old Zhao, your son looks like he's in good shape, he's ready to serve in the army!"
Old Zhao begged bitterly: "But he is only 14 years old!"
"How about 14 years old
He looks like he's grown up, so he can go to the army!"
"But I'm just a single seedling, a single heir for three generations! Jun Ye, can you do me a favor and let him live? I'll kneel down for you right now, please..."
Old Zhao knelt down as soon as he said that.
"It's useless for you to plead, this is His Majesty's order!"
"Can I replace my son?"
The officer looked at Old Zhao's empty leg, shook his head and said, "No, you are missing a leg, so you can't fight at all, so your son should be a soldier [pull away!"
"Father! Mother..."
This kind of thing happens in every household.
There are families with many sons, and all the family members are taken away, leaving only a few wives.
Yes, the whole village is empty!
They want to resist, but how can they fight against the army?
Therefore, there are wailing scenes everywhere.
Concubine Song Yu came gracefully from the Daluo Palace and asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, it is said that you have fought against the people who have left the country, and millions of people have already suffered, bleeding all the way! This is not what Mingjun said.
Because if things go on like this, the monarch and the people will be renounced, please take it back, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Da Luo became angry when he heard this: "Fairy Yufei, they abandoned me first! Over the years, I have paid so much for them, but now I encounter some difficulties, so I abandon them.
Don't blame me for being ruthless since they are unrighteous!"
Concubine Song Yu persuaded again: "Your Majesty, the people are ignorant and need guidance, not bloody suppression! As long as you find a way to solve the food problem, the people will naturally return to you
In the arms!"
"I'm not solving it now?"
Emperor Da Luo said loudly: "Da Luo is out of food, the best way is to rob other countries of food! To rob food, of course soldiers and horses are needed! Only those who belong to me recruit soldiers and horses, and prepare for a war
"However, you are all soldiers, which has already caused people's resentment to boil!"
"I did this for their own good! They even complained about the lack of food, so I let them snatch it! If you grab the food, you will naturally survive. If you can't get it, you can die. Life is a waste."
Waste of food! I have paid so much for them, and it is time for them to repay me!"
Concubine Song Yu was shocked!
Never thought that "Your Majesty would say such cruel and heartless words!
"But Your Majesty... False"
"Fairy Yufei, don't say too much, I will make my own decision!" Emperor Da Luo waved his sleeves and left angrily.
Concubine Song Yu looked at the back of Emperor Da Luo leaving, she felt that Emperor Da Luo had changed.
Become very strange, and a little scary!.
