Chapter 448 Situation of Various Countries
The words "hell on earth" are no longer enough to describe the tragic situation after the snowstorm in the north wing.
After Emperor Beiyi died, the Second Prince succeeded to the throne. Due to the snowstorm, not even the coronation ceremony was held. He moved directly into the palace and endured the cold in the imperial study. I heard that he is now ill.
Most of the northern wing army that fought against the Yuan Dynasty army years ago died in the extreme snowstorm. Now they are no longer capable of fighting, and even survival is a luxury.
Seeing the tragic situation on the north wing, the soldiers following Nangong Jingxuan gasped.
"A snowstorm turned the North Wing into this?"
"If we don't have food and things to keep warm, I'm afraid we'll end up like the North Wing!"
Someone came to Nangong Jingxuan and asked, "Commander, the North Wing can no longer continue the battle. What should we do now?"
Nangong Jingxuan glanced at the North Wing Imperial City indifferently. The imperial city looked like a refugee camp.
The northern wing has already declined. If he brings his troops here, it will be easy to take over the northern wing.
But what to do with such a north wing?
Look at those soldiers in the north wing, look at those civilians, they are all lifeless. After taking over the north wing, where will these people go? Will they be supported by the Yuan Dynasty?
I'm sorry, although these people are pitiful, the Yuan Dynasty has no obligation to support them. In the event of a natural disaster, the Yuan Dynasty was lucky enough to take care of the people of the country, so how could it have the ability to take care of the people of other countries?
Nangong Jingxuan thought about it, and then asked someone to tell the guards of the imperial city to inform the new emperor of the North Wing that the Yuan army was coming.
In the north wing of the imperial palace, the new emperor kept coughing and his face was as pale as paper. Just as he was about to get up to drink some water, he saw a eunuch hurrying over.
"Your Majesty, it's bad, the Yuan Dynasty army is coming!"
"What?" The new emperor of Beiyi said in disbelief: "How could the Yuan Dynasty army have the strength to attack us?"
The army led by Nangong Jingxuan attacked the northern wing. When the ice and snow disaster came, the Yuan Dynasty army should have been affected as well. How could they attack at this time?
"It's true, Your Majesty. The Yuan Dynasty army is really coming. Nangong Jingxuan sent someone to say that. The person said that their Yuan Dynasty army had sufficient supplies and survived the ice and snow disaster, with only a few casualties. Unlike us in the North Wing, we were powerless to resist the natural disaster, and more than half of our people died." The eunuch was trembling when he said this: "Nangong Jingxuan's people also said that if you want the people of the North Wing to live, you should quickly surrender to the Yuan Dynasty."
The new emperor of Beiyi was shocked and angry at these words. He kicked the eunuch in the chest and said, "How ridiculous! You want me to bow to the Yuan Dynasty? Dream on!"
He has only been on the throne for a few months, has not yet held his coronation ceremony, and has not had time to realize his ambitions. He will never surrender to the enemy.
"Nangong Jingxuan is lying. What do you mean he is not affected? Bah! I don't believe it. My northern wing has become like this. The Yuan Dynasty army must have been almost wiped out. I will recuperate and rebuild the army to kill all the Yuan Dynasty soldiers!"
The eunuch covered his heart with his hands and looked at the new emperor's madness with a look of fear on his face.
The new emperor's crazy look at this moment is almost exactly the same as the previous emperor's.
The eunuch felt panic and despair in an instant.
The new emperor of Beiyi was unwilling to surrender, which was completely within Nangong Jingxuan's expectations. He was not surprised at all. Nangong Jingxuan took his men back to Tianming Mansion: "I have already given Beiyi a chance. Since the new emperor of Beiyi does not cherish it, it is no wonder that I am cold-blooded and ruthless."
The epidemic in the north wing became more and more serious, and the spread area was wide, from small mountains and fields to large imperial cities, the epidemic was everywhere.
Word spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand...After the ice and snow disaster ended, the people of the North Wing once again fell into a situation of dire straits.
In order to survive, ordinary people competed with the powerful for supplies.
All the cities in the north wing were in chaos, with looting happening everywhere.
Fuso, which is not far from the North Wing, is in a similar situation to the North Wing at this moment.
The old emperor froze to death and the new emperor succeeded to the throne.
There were frozen corpses everywhere in Fuso, and various epidemics broke out frequently. The Yuan Dynasty army that attacked Fuso was affected by the epidemic. Shangguan Peng and Wei Chi commanded the army to withdraw from Fuso overnight and return to Yunling Pass.
As soon as I returned to Yunling Pass, the things that Nangong Jingxuan had sent arrived.
After seeing the prescription, Shangguan Peng immediately ordered people to prepare the medicinal materials, boiled a bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp.
Wei Chi asked anxiously: "How is it? Is it effective?"
Shangguan Peng said, "I just drank it, how can it take effect so quickly? Don't stare at me, go and do your thing. Come back when I'm not dead."
Wei Chi pointed at him and said, "You keep mentioning the word death. When the war is over and we return to Beijing, I will complain to Princess Pingshan that you want to die every day."
"Is your skin itchy?"
"You have a scratching stick!"
Within half an hour, the effect of the medicine on Shangguan Peng began to show. He was infected with the disease and had red spots all over his body. His strength had also decreased, but now he was gradually regaining his strength.
Wei Chi was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately sent people to look for medicinal herbs everywhere. He gathered all the herbs on the prescription and boiled the medicine for all the sick soldiers to drink.
Beiyi and Fuso refused to surrender, and there was a plague in the two countries. The Yuan army suspended the war, planning to deal a fatal blow to Fuso and Beiyi after the plague was over.
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
The Xuanyue Kingdom was also damaged by the ice and snow, with countless casualties. The situation in the country was in chaos. After the ice and snow melted, the dam collapsed and the country suffered a flood.
The snowstorm and flood caused heavy losses to Xuanyue Kingdom. The surviving people were displaced, their families were broken up, food was scarce, and there was widespread grief.
Emperor Xuan Yue was extremely busy with this.
"How is it going? Have you contacted anyone from the Yuan Dynasty? Is the Yuan Dynasty willing to help my Xuan Yue Kingdom?" Emperor Xuan Yue anxiously asked the general below.
The general shook his head and said, "We did get in touch with the person, but he said that the Yuan Dynasty is too busy to help our country."
Emperor Xuan Yue stumbled and fell on the third bowl: "How could it be? Did the Yuan Dynasty also encounter a natural disaster of ice and snow?"
The general said: "Not only the Yuan Dynasty, Beiyi, Fusang, and Penglai have all suffered from the ice and snow disaster, this natural disaster is so widespread that the five countries are affected together, with countless casualties."
"The people I sent also found out that the war between the Yuan Dynasty and Beiyi and Fusang has stopped. It is said that an epidemic broke out in Beiyi and Fusang, and the Yuan Dynasty army was afraid of being infected, so they suspended the war."
Emperor Xuan Yue's face turned pale: "Epidemic? Does our dynasty have it?"
The general nodded: "There are two places where the disease has broken out."
Emperor Xuanyue's expression became even uglier: "Is God going to destroy my Xuanyue Kingdom?"
Compared with the miserable situation in Xuanyue Kingdom, the situation in Penglai Kingdom was better. Penglai had long had exchanges with the Yuan Dynasty and had introduced cotton and other materials from the Yuan Dynasty, which almost covered the entire country. When the ice and snow disaster came, cotton played a vital role.
With the warmth of clothing and the fact that Penglai had no shortage of food, and the people were united, they remained calm in the face of natural disasters, and most people survived.
Shangguan Ping'an, who was trapped in Penglai Kingdom, was also safe and sound.
