Chapter 240 News
On the second day, Su Nancheng received a letter from the north in the city defense camp.

When the Beiyi people withdrew, they also took away many Yuan people.

Men and women, all taken away are slaves.

Su Nancheng and Fei Jiu also arranged for a few to go out.Now that several years have passed, there are gradually various news coming back.

Because people in the past couldn't get along well all at once, so the news they got was relatively fragmented.

At least he knew that the civil strife in Beiyi had ended in the past few years, and Helian Yao had finally unified their country.

The one who went south with him to lead another team of troops was his uncle, who died of illness last year.

Princess Rong An is still alive and is still his concubine, there is no further news.

Su Nancheng burned the letter and sat at the table thinking about things.

Now that there are no internal problems among the Beiyi people, and He Lianyao is young, and it is time for him to be ambitious.Although it was difficult due to the severe drought in the past two years, they looted a lot of property from Dayuan, which was enough to support them.

In the past two years, I am afraid that they have also slowed down. It can be said that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong.So will Helian Yao go south again?
There is no sign of this yet, but one day if the guarantee is not complete, it will go south again.

I believe that this time, he will be fully prepared. At that time, will the North be able to withstand it?

The national treasury is empty, corruption is serious everywhere, and the usual food and salary are barely, once a war starts, will it be consumed?
Ordinarily, it is impossible for a place as big as Dayuan to support an army.It's just that officials are pocketing too much these days.There is no way to talk about the enclosure.

It's already a vicious circle. The more natural disasters there are, the more people can't live, and the land is sold to the rich at a lower price.

Those with official positions and fame do not have to pay taxes.As a result, they occupy most of the land without paying taxes.The tax will be even heavier on the people who are already unsustainable.

People who can't pay taxes have to continue to sell their land...

It goes on and on like this, but in a few years, there is still so much arable land, but the tax revenue is getting less and less.

Back then, the capital city was almost destroyed and stimulated many people, but now the people below are more and more ignorant of the importance of accumulating money.

Especially those in the north who have been traumatized by the Beiyi people, those who have the ability to go south.The north was already difficult, and many people died, but now there are very few people everywhere.

In this case, if the Beiyi people invaded again, once they broke through, the consequences would be disastrous.

Su Nancheng sighed and asked someone to come in.

"Call Master Wu."

The person at the door answered, and Wu Sandeng came over after a while.

"My lord, is your name humble?"

"Sit down and talk with me." Su Nancheng pointed to a chair and said.

"Hey." Wu Sandeng sat down, turned to look at Su Nancheng: "Did something happen?"

Su Nancheng shook his head: "I received some news from the north that the Northern Yi have settled down. I think that in a few years, maybe they will go south again."

Wu Sandeng also sighed: "Yeah, this matter has been pending. It's a pity that there are still mood drafts..."

"You don't know yet, General Xiang is ill, it should be seriously ill." Su Nancheng said.

General Xiang is more than 50 years old, so he is not old, but he is not young in this era.

"This... what kind of disease, can it be cured?" Wu Sandeng was taken aback.

"The lungs are not good, and the cough is not light. At the beginning of the year, there was news that he was coughing up blood. I'm afraid it won't work." This kind of disease cannot be cured now.

"It's not a good thing if General Xiang dies. Who else can control the Southern Army? General Xiang's son is not that material." Wu Sandeng frowned.

"Maybe it will be General Wan. Even if it is not, someone will recommend him." General Wan is considered to be on good terms with Cheng Kanghou.

Cheng Kanghou will facilitate this.

"At that time, the generals of the Gyeonggi garrison will also change, and Commander He of the Infantry Battalion will be transferred. Deputy Commander Ji will take over the position of commander. I want you to advance to the barracks. With your seniority, you can move it again." Su Nancheng said.

"Here, as long as it's your order, I'm willing to do anything." Wu Sandeng said.

"Our qualifications are not enough to be in charge of the local army. We can't do it, but we must have rights in the capital. A city defense battalion is not enough. We must have the city defense battalion, infantry battalion, and Habayashi guards in our hands. Another siege, no matter what, it can protect our family and children to survive." Su Nancheng said.

"What your lord said is that the lowly position is up to you." Wu Sandeng's heart was agitated, and he vaguely felt something.

Right now, the emperor's draft is still the most important issue.

In May, one after another, beautiful girls from all over the world came to Beijing and agreed to live in the places arranged by the Ministry of Rites.

There are 610 and eight show girls in the list, but the actual number shall prevail.

If the place is far away, there may be some accidents on the road. For example, if you are seriously ill or injured, you will not be able to see your majesty.

There is also the possibility of death due to illness or other causes of death, which is not counted.

Nowadays, bandits appear frequently all over the place. Just hearing that this is a woman given to the emperor's old son, some people rob it.

So the actual number is really not sure enough.

Due to the large number of people entering the capital, each team of the show girls is escorted by many people, so the city defense battalion is also busy these days patrolling to protect the safety of the capital.

All entry and exit at the gate of the city must be checked to prevent anyone with malicious intentions from sneaking in.

"I heard that there is a pair of sisters in Jialing Mansion. They are said to be stunning, and they will definitely be selected."

"Really? I heard that Taizhou Prefecture also has a stunning talent, and it will definitely be selected."

"Also Chu Ningcheng said that there is a girl who is also good-looking, but I heard that there are some Beiyi blood."

"Ah? That's okay? Isn't that a grudge?"

"But it looks good."

"Hey, aren't there still Hu Ji in the palace?"

"That's different, Hu Ji is not from Beiyi."

"What are you talking about?" Zheng Chengye tidied up his helmet and walked over. People from the city defense battalion were chatting at the gate of the east city.

Seeing him coming, he quickly stood up: "Team Zheng Bai!"

"Say what?" He waved his hand to tell them to relax.

A little soldier explained with a smile: "We are talking about beauties from all over the world. The old five said that the beauties sent by Chu Ningcheng are of Beiyi blood. This... can't be kept?"

Zheng Chengye sneered: "Anyway, it's a person, as long as it looks good, the sow can stay. Stand guard."

After everyone laughed, they stood up quickly.

Zheng Chengye thought disdainfully, with today's virtue, he certainly wouldn't care if the beauty had Beiyi blood or not.

The people below dare to send it up, and it is estimated that this is also determined.

It's really not as good as one generation.

The people of Dayuan really committed crimes with such a perverted emperor on the stall.

However, it is normal for such an emperor to be looked down upon by the people below.It is not new for Zheng Chengye to speak like this.

Just the day before the start of the draft, Chaozhong received the news of General Xiang's death.

It came from the south, and it was sent urgently, but it took four days.
