Chapter 184 Qibao Town (so miserable)

PS: I want to cry when I read this subscription today, but I don’t feel like writing at all. How many people are free?

......

Haichengfu is located east of the Hundred Thousand Volcanic Mountains.

The overall area of ​​the mansion is not large, and it is only a medium and low-level mansion in the empire.

However, because it is closer to 100,000 volcanoes and was the headquarters of the famous Zoroastrianism at that time, it still has some names among dozens of imperial prefectures.

Because it is close to the sea and there are huge 100,000 volcanoes in the west, the climate of Haichengfu is quite humid, and the water vapor from the ocean is blocked by the 100,000 volcanoes, causing Haichengfu to be in a rainy and rainy weather all year round.

There is a lot of rain and is suitable for rice cultivation, so this is also the southeastern granary of the empire.

There are thirteen important towns in Haichengfu, and Qibao Town is one of them. It is named because it produces seven colors of rice.

Qibao Town is also an important node in the Imperial Railway Artery. Through this, you can bypass 100,000 volcanoes, go to endless bitter and cold places, and even go north to enter the center of the Imperial.

From this we can see that the importance of Qibao Town to Haichengfu is almost self-evident. Now that Haichengfu City has fallen, millions of people have been randomly assigned to thirteen towns for temporary resettlement. Qibao Town is also the town with the largest number of people.

It can be said that one-fifth of the millions of people transferred from Haichengfu City have arrived here.

Therefore, when Li Yishi pedestrian arrived in Qibao Town in the rainy weather, he saw that countless tents of all sizes had been erected around the town where he could shelter from the rain.

This made the roads entering the town seriously blocked.

Their group drove three old classic cars, which were very bumpy due to poor road conditions.

In fact, it is not as comfortable as the carriage that occasionally passes by on the road.

Li Wei looked through the car window and looked at Qibao Town in the rain, and fell into shock.

I saw the city ahead, with tall buildings standing and rich neon lights shining around. Although the city is not big, it has the style of steel and steam everywhere.

From time to time, the huge whistle sound of trains came, and then there were long trains whistling by.

Steel, lights, tall buildings... These modern elements are in sharp contrast with the low buildings on the ground, stone roads, and the fleeting horse-drawn carriages.

Contradictory, and weird.

A strong cyberpunk style emerges before my eyes.

It's shocking.

“Isn’t it very strange?”

"It seems that Lord Li has never been to Qibao Town before. Qibao Town can be said to be an important place for the empire to practice new learning. Due to the existence of Qicolor rice and railway tracks, both the Empire and Haichengfu have devoted a lot of energy here."

"So there are a lot of things here that belong to Western science, that is, new learning. For example, those tall buildings, such as those tin trains, and other steam machinery, including the small car we drive."

"I have lived here for a lot of time, but I didn't expect... one day I will come back because of dealing with criminals."

Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Qibao Town in the mist and rain, feeling deeply moved.

Li Wei nodded and signaled that he understood.

The overall technological level of this world is in a very strange state. Some high technology is almost at the level after World War II on Earth, but the popularity among the people is very poor. Most of the people in the empire, including Li Wei, are still accustomed to the life of kerosene lamps, working from sunrise and resting from sunset.

Electric lights are not popular.

He thought about it and was about to ask about Qibao Town, but before he could speak, he suddenly felt that the temperature in the car suddenly dropped a lot.

An extremely cold breath gradually spread.

Immediately, white mist appeared in the mist and rain, and a large group of soldiers wearing imperial black military uniforms passed by everyone's vehicles.

They stepped on the rain and were exposed to the rainy day without any hesitation, no hesitation or movement.

Li Wei clearly saw that when the team of soldiers passed by his vehicle, a soldier in the lead swept the car window with cold eyes. When he saw the people wearing Zhenyushi costumes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

[What a powerful army! This can be called a real ghost soldier, right?]

Li Wei was secretly shocked.

The cold air around the air and the elite firearms in the hands of soldiers all show that this is the excellence of the Yin soldiers!

But...How come there are so many troops in Qibao Town? Just the team of soldiers just now, I'm afraid there are hundreds of people.

As soon as the thought arose, Xiao Xiao's voice began to think of Li Wei's doubts, and said, "This should be the army guarding the southwest border of the empire, that is, the army stationed on the side of the huge ghost-killing wall."

"Since recent times, there seems to be a little chaos at the northernmost end of the empire, so these troops were transferred there."

"This happened to happen to Haichengfu, so a small number of troops were left here and camped and helped the Thirteen Towns of Haichengfu to maintain public order."

"There are the most troops here in Qibao Town. You will know at night. There are almost all soldiers patrolling the streets in groups of three or five. Try not to come out at night, as the firearms in their hands do not recognize people."

A trace of fear flashed across Xiao Xiao's eyes.

"I understand, we try not to come out at night."

"But...what is happening in the northwest of the empire? So many troops are needed to be dispatched there? Can Lord Xiao know?"

Li Wei was quite curious and couldn't help asking.

The troops in front of us came from the southwest of the empire. The upper class of the empire actually wanted to divide their troops from there, which shows that the problems encountered in the north must be very serious.

Could it be that other empires beyond the north have attacked?

"I heard... I met a ghost!" Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to say it.

ghost?

Li Wei frowned completely, why did a ghost appear again? Haicheng Mansion has not finished dealing with it yet, why did it also appear in the north of the empire?

More importantly...

"Since it's a ghost problem, this should be the jurisdiction of our two departments and one department. Why do we need to mobilize so many troops? They usually just cooperate with our actions."

The more important thing is to garrison those dangerous places and be careful of other empires.

Xiao Xiao sighed softly when he heard this, and said, "It's still Lord Li who can understand it. Therefore, the meaning behind this action in the empire is the most troublesome."

"With the emergence of new learning and the power of firearms continues to increase, the empire has begun to be dissatisfied with letting the army fall to an embarrassing position of attacking the two divisions and one division."

"This time, the excuse that the ghost in the north was traversing from other empires, and blatantly stopped the two divisions and one division from intervening, and directly wanted to use the army to suppress it."

"Look at it...things in the north are just the beginning, and a bigger storm is still behind."

The empire is already seriously dissatisfied with the two departments and one department that are too big to lose.
