Chapter 172 Preparing for an Incident
Chapter 172 Preparing for an Incident
In the vast land of Northwest County, Yuan Quan and his team were as smooth as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and they were unstoppable. However, this smooth sailing situation did not continue in Southwest County. Here, due to the heavy taxes forcibly levied by local governments, the villagers who were already living in difficult conditions were even worse off. Like frightened birds, they fled their homes with their families and hid in the deep mountains and old forests, trying to escape this endless oppression.
However, escape is not a long-term solution. Although some people are afraid, they still hold a glimmer of hope and want to go to those areas that have not been exploited so severely by the government to seek a glimmer of hope. However, their roads are also tightly blocked by the government. On the main roads in the southwest county, the government has set up many checkpoints, like a huge spider web, tightly binding them in misery.
In this secluded place in Kaoshan Village, Sun Ying was gathering Lin Kunlun, Zhang Shan and others to discuss countermeasures. Their faces were full of worry and anxiety, like the calm before the storm.
"The situation is getting more serious and food is becoming scarce. What should we do?" Sun Ying's voice was filled with helplessness and hesitation. Although he had managed to stockpile some food, it was just a drop in the bucket when hundreds of people were consuming it.
Zhang Shan's eyes flashed with determination, and he said in a deep voice: "Boss Sun, I think we should rebel! As far as I know, people in several surrounding counties have begun to form teams, occupy the hilltops, and compete with the government!"
Sun Ying frowned upon hearing this. He sighed and said, "With our limited manpower, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the government troops. Moreover, the more people there are, the faster the food will be consumed. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long."
Lin Kunlun pondered for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Boss Sun, although the current situation is grim, it is also our chance. The Northwest Lake is already in chaos, and it is only a matter of time for the Southwest. As long as we can contact those people in the mountain strongholds to raise the banner of rebellion, we will definitely be able to become the leader of all the rebel forces in the entire Southwest County. If we can defeat the government army and echo the rebel forces in the Northwest County from north to south, perhaps we can really make a name for ourselves!"
Zhang Shan's eyes flashed with approval when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Brother Lin is absolutely right! We should seize this opportunity!"
Sun Ying thought for a moment and nodded, "You have a point. But those bandits are desperate and may not obey our orders. Moreover, we have already consumed most of our food, with less than 30% left. If we delay any further, I'm afraid we won't even be able to feed ourselves."
Lin Kunlun smiled and said, "Brother Zhang Shan was the first person in the entire Southwest County to lead a team to occupy the county town. If he goes to contact those people in the mountain strongholds, they will definitely give him some face. In addition, I also know people from Qinglong Mountain. The people from Qinglong Mountain are quite knowledgeable about marching and deployment. If they can send people to train us, we will definitely be able to greatly improve our combat effectiveness. At that time, we may not be unable to fight against the government army!"
Sun Ying's eyes lit up when he heard this. He said in a deep voice, "Qinglong Village! Brother Lin, you actually know someone from them! Qinglong has always been very mysterious. I don't know why the government officials don't go to encircle and suppress them! I think they are quite powerful. If they join us, we will definitely be able to break the current situation!"
"The reason why the government officials are unwilling to intervene in Qinglong Village is largely because the predecessors of Qinglong Village were actually government officials!" Lin Kunlun explained with a smile. At first, he thought that he had the space of the gourd. He could live well in this world. But he didn't expect that everything is restricted now. In this case, if he took out food casually, he would have been discovered long ago. And if he wants to get more good medicinal materials or spiritual herbs, he must have more power. This is why Lin Kunlun has been encouraging Yuan Quan, Sun Ying and others to organize the rebel army. He just wants to use their power to get the spiritual herbs he wants in this troubled world. You know, if he only wants to protect his family, he can hide in the mountains. With his ability to grow food in the space, his family can live a worry-free life.
"Are you saying that the people in Qinglong Village are government officials?" Zhang Shan and Sun Ying looked at Lin Kunlun in shock. This really shocked them. This is simply a huge secret! The people in Qinglong Village are actually government officials! How can they believe this!
"That's right! In other words, they used to be government officials. And they are very powerful people. That's why the local government completely ignores them. I wonder if you have heard of Marshal Yuan Chong who used to command all the border defense forces in the Northeast!" Lin Kunlun said in a deep voice.
Yuan Chong is the commander of the strongest border defense army in the Northeast. He not only established the entire Northeast defense system! He also repelled the barbarian attacks several times and restricted the development of the barbarians! He is also famous in the Northeast, but only a few people know this name now. Because the current Emperor Chongming has killed him for using mercenaries to gain respect and colluding with foreign enemies!
"Yuan Chong? Wasn't he killed by Emperor Chongming? How come this Qinglong is still related to him!" Sun Ying asked puzzledly.
Lin Kunlun was silent for a moment, a deep light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "His son, the brave and fearless general, was the founder of Qinglong Village. Although the iron cavalry of Emperor Chongming crushed his life, his loyalty and passion took root in the hearts of his generals and soldiers. They protected his bloodline, went all the way south, deep into the mountains in the southwest, and established the prestigious Qinglong Village. This is why the government in this land, although knowing its existence, dare not touch it easily."
"It seems that the strength of Qinglong Village should not be underestimated." There was some admiration in his voice, but then doubts appeared, "But will they really help us? After all, there is no deep hatred between them and the Dakun Dynasty."
Lin Kunlun shook his head slightly, with a determined light in his eyes: "No, the hatred in their hearts may be even stronger than ours. And I am confident that I can convince them to let their warriors lend us a hand and even participate in our next actions." His voice was firm and powerful, like a towering mountain, standing tall.
Sun Ying and Zhang Shan looked at each other, and the doubts in their hearts gradually dissipated. Although they did not know the origin of Lin Kunlun and Qinglong Village, they believed in his words without a doubt.
"Then we have Brother Laolin!" Sun Ying's face showed joy, as if he had seen the dawn of victory. With the help of Qinglong Village, their business will surely flourish.
"As long as the three of us work together, we will surely create brilliance together!" Lin Kunlun looked at his two companions, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, "I also ask the two brothers to contact the brothers in the various mountain strongholds as soon as possible. We really have too few people. As long as everyone works together, the few people in Southwest Prefecture are nothing to be afraid of!"
However, as he was about to embark on a new journey, Lin Kunlun felt a little worried. He turned and looked into the distance, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Brother Sun, I want to go back to Qinghe Village first. After all, I haven't been back for a while, and I don't know how the situation is at home."
Sun Ying frowned slightly when he heard this: "Brother Kunlun, in these chaotic times, Qinghe Village may not be safe. Why don't you bring your family here?"
Lin Kunlun was silent for a moment and sighed softly: "It's hard to leave my hometown. I need to discuss it with my family. If they are willing, I will bring them here."
So, Lin Kunlun embarked on the journey back home. He rode a horse and galloped on the rugged mountain road. Surrounded by rolling mountains, the green trees swayed gently in the breeze. The sun shone through the treetops and sprinkled on his body, warm and soft. However, his heart was full of worries and concerns. He didn't know what the situation was like at home, but he knew that as long as his family lived in the hidden place he chose, there would be no danger! This time he would prepare more food and seeds for them! At least to ensure that they could barely survive without being disturbed by the outside world!
Lin Kunlun now finds this world without electricity and the Internet more and more interesting. Although this world is cruel, people lose their lives every day due to hunger, disease, war and other reasons. But this is also a world of the strong. What Lin Kunlun wants to do is to be a strong person who can influence the direction of this world. Whether it is Yuan Quan's group in the northwest, or Sun Ying who is now in the starting stage, they will become a chess piece to influence this world. He seems to have returned to the time when he became a real investment tycoon and influenced the overall situation of the world economy.
