…
Time flies!
Before we knew it, spring of 1998 was coming to an end.
In April, after Achen arrived in Qiannan, many, many things happened.
The Miao people here, upon learning of the arrival of the future Miao King, mobilized in full force.
More than thirty Miao villages, large and small, were moved from the villages that Achen pointed out.
The number of people relocated reached over 20,000.
Although the total amount of money Shengtang has invested in Qiannan has not yet been calculated, the initial amount has already exceeded seven million yuan.
In late April, Ah Chen received a message—
Immediately order Yang Achen's Miao army to return to eastern Guizhou and provide full support to Rongjiang, coordinating with other Miao forces.
He then dispatched 10,000 elite Miao soldiers to Rongjiang, determined to reinforce all the riverbank lines he had drawn a few days earlier by mid-May.
The area marked with double red lines needs to be raised further.
They are still dredging the river.
After that, he "took a step" and went to Guibei with Meng Axi.
While Achen was only leading a Miao army unit and a guard unit to Guibei, --
Tianfeng County Government Office.
A series of footsteps sounded, and several officials whose names began with "Deputy" arrived at the Tan County office.
"In Tan County, the Miao people have moved again. According to reports from below, there is a dark mass of at least 10,000 people heading to Rongjiang."
"What? King Mu has sent more Miao people?" Tan County was shocked.
"Yes, but the Miao people didn't bring Miao knives; instead, they brought farm tools."
Just then, the landline on Tan County's desk rang; it was a call from Xu County, Rongjiang.
"Old Tan, what's going on? I just received a report that 10,000 Miao people from Tianfeng have come to my Rongjiang with farming tools, and the Miao people in my Rongjiang are also moving."
"Old Xu, don't worry. Such a big transfer must be something big."
"How can we not be anxious? It's a huge, dark mass. Where is Prince Mu? I hope we don't end up in a brawl."
"It shouldn't have been a fight! He was in Qiannan a few days ago, I don't know where he is now, I—"
Before Tan Xian could finish speaking, another subordinate rushed in.
"Old Xu, let's talk now, we have something else to do."
After hanging up the phone, Tan County's subordinate, who had just entered, immediately reported: "Tan County, according to the Public Security Bureau, ten minutes ago, more than two hundred trucks lined up and entered Tianfeng territory."
"More than two hundred trucks? Are they from the hydroelectric power station?"
"No, it's full of supplies. Sheng Tang personally went to pick them up."
The subordinate added, "Furthermore, two to three thousand strong Miao people from the Blue Miao and Flower Miao regions are waiting for this batch of supplies."
"Go, hurry up!"
When Tan County and his group made their move, the more than two hundred trucks coming from the direction of Lincheng were less than twenty kilometers away from Tianfeng County.
The massive convoy arrived, a truly grand spectacle.
It's not neat enough, it lacks presence, and the road isn't that wide either.
When Yun Kai and his team received the news, they immediately reported it and then personally led the public defense team there.
Clear the way.
But when I got here, the first thing I saw was those two cars with license plates that had five sixes and five eights.
These two large SUVs have finally made their appearance.
Behind the SUV were more than a dozen cars.
The sky was overcast and gray.
It looks like it's going to rain!
But with such a massive line of trucks arriving, the number of people turning their heads to look along the way is indescribable.
"Didi--"
After Yun Kai ordered the horns to be sounded, he immediately used a public security vehicle to lead the way, while simultaneously contacting the people behind him by phone.
"Please keep a safe following distance."
"Director Yun, those two license plates—"
“That’s right, the Holy Maiden is back! Make sure to keep in touch with them and ask where this batch of supplies is going. I’ll clear the way.”
"The Holy Maiden has returned?"
Yes, it is indeed the Holy Maiden Tang Amo who has returned.
However, the convoy did not enter the county town, but instead went directly from the outskirts of the county to the entrance of the Miao village via the county road.
Along the way, there was an uproar.
"My God, we know the Miao people have been transporting supplies recently, but this time, how come it's such a huge amount?"
"It is indeed a massive undertaking, but that's not surprising! This year is the year the future Miao king will ascend the throne, so the Miao people are bound to make preparations."
"No, no! Even if the future Miao King is going to succeed to the throne, there have been recent relocations in the Miao villages. This is not normal."
“That’s right. I also heard that this quasi-Miao king went to Qiannan and made some Miao villages there move from their original locations.”
“Yes, yes, I heard about it too! Ten days ago, when the future Miao King passed by a village, I don’t know why, but it wasn’t a Miao village. However, he advised people to move there first and then move back after autumn. But the villagers refused to move, saying they couldn’t bear to leave their homes.”
“I’ve heard that the month before last, the future Miao King was in Rongjiang and ordered the riverside villages to move to higher ground, but they won’t move.”
"That's not a Miao village. What's so strange about them not listening to the future Miao king?"
“The future Miao King passed through my village last month and asked us to relocate. Our village chief actually agreed, and several villages in our area have started moving these days.”
"You're all stupid, blindly following those Miao people in their nonsense."
“That’s right! Even if their future Miao king warns us that it’s not safe, it’s just empty talk. We won’t move. What can he do to us? We’re not Miao people.”
…
Discussions were heard everywhere.
There are all sorts of opinions.
I wonder if those who are unwilling to move will regret it when a natural disaster strikes.
The convoy continued on its way, but at a slow pace, because the sky was overcast, there was a light drizzle, the road was slippery, and driving too fast could easily lead to an accident.
