Chapter 949 Declaration of war!
Just like A Ming likes drinking and blind people like peeling oranges, what Liang Cheng likes is training soldiers.
It’s just that other demon kings pay great attention to the balance between work and rest. They are busy when they should be busy, but when they should play, they will never be vague, let alone wrong themselves. Even Siniang is always busy with accounting. , didn’t you also take the time to give birth to a child?
But Liang Cheng has always been fixed in one position, and it happened to be in this position, and he couldn't do it without him.
Other demon kings are not good at leading troops. It does not mean that they cannot learn. In fact, no one will doubt their learning ability. The main reason is that their own personalities are really not qualified to lead an army. Position.
As soon as he thought about this,
Zheng Fan felt a little guilty,
because these people in the family...it is true that no one can replace A Cheng. It is really not so absolute. In fact, there is still one. That is yourself.
Earlier I studied with Liang Cheng, then with Li Fusheng, and then with Tian Wujing, during which I paid great attention to practical practice;
It is no exaggeration to say that my current level is definitely Not as exaggerated as those famous generals in the world, the "God of War" is not worthy of the name, but he can still sit firmly in the front row of the second line behind the God of War.
But he is lazy,
He has to enjoy life. In recent years, his wife and children have been the hot bed, and it is too comfortable to be the shopkeeper.
It is precisely because of Liang Cheng’s selfless dedication that he has been able to live a comfortable life these years;
To a certain extent,
A Cheng is doing it for himself Stop the knife,
Blocking this,
a knife from life or survival.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At this time, the heavy armored cavalry, which had completely accelerated, was passing in front of him, and the ground was shaking.
Even now, their speed is not particularly fast, but as a general who is proficient in cavalry combat... no, to be precise, he has been using cavalry to fight since his debut. Zheng Fan clearly understands We know what kind of damage this three thousand heavy armored cavalry can cause on the battlefield.
It's not just the actual damage caused by the impact.
The most terrifying thing for any army when facing such a charge of cavalry is actually the oppression from the heart, which can make its own side collapse in an instant.
The people of Chu claim that their infantry are the best among all the Xia.
In front of these three thousand heavy armors,
Zheng Fan can be sure that they will be vulnerable to a single blow. !
Because this is not "heavy armor" in the pure sense. These three thousand people are the essence of the entire Shandong Army. There are many high-quality masters. The armor was designed and forged by Xue San himself, and the mounts are made of his own. In the name, many wild beasts were brought from the Royal Beast Prison of Dayan in the capital.
It is not simply the "Iron Buddha" from another time and space,
it is a real war beast.
This is a trump card that can directly smash the opponent's front line at a critical moment, defeat the opponent's fighting spirit, and reverse the outcome in an instant;
Look around again,
Below the high platform, there is an endless formation of soldiers and armor;
Over the years,
It is Liang Cheng who organizes the annual military exercises of standard household soldiers, and it is Liang Cheng who organizes the defense changes of various troops and horses. , it was Liang Cheng who figured out the most lacking infantry tactics of the Yan Kingdom;
This is actually the rebellion that the blind man has always been thinking about. Siniang calculated the development expenditure and income,
For a goal,< br>
Go hard, go forward,
arrange the stones neatly,
just so that when everything is ready,
gently push down the front one and harvest the The pure joy of time.
And myself,
He will take this army, as well as other Yan armies that will follow, to fulfill his promise to unify all Xia.
Zheng Fan closed his eyes,
by his ears,
the sound of rolling thunder hooves came.
Below,
Liang Cheng, who was leading the heavily armored iron cavalry,
suddenly froze for a moment,
The evil spirit in his body suddenly surged up at this moment;
Well, promotion Already?
It’s not over,
Just as it was rising, but before it disappeared, the breath burst upward again!
Well, advanced again?
Not even Liang Cheng could control the momentum of the two promotions in succession and the evil spirit they vented.
Therefore, the evil spirit inevitably began to be exposed;
The surrounding soldiers immediately saw that their general seemed to be stained with a layer of black flames and was burning;
The brave beast Liang Cheng is riding below seems to have been accustomed to this evil spirit for a long time. If you look closely, you can find that part of its mane is already showing a purple color, which is a sign of returning to its ancestors;
< br>In other words, during the time spent with Liang Cheng, this brave beast gradually learned how to absorb evil spirits to stimulate its own blood. Therefore, now, not only does it not feel uncomfortable, it also feels very comfortable.
Liang Cheng's body rose up from the beast under his crotch.
His boots kept kicking on the railings of the high platform. With the help of his strength, he went up with the flow. When he fell down on the platform, He grabbed the Black Dragon Flag flagpole in front of him.
In an instant,
The evil spirit on his body permeated the Black Dragon Flag, making this scene extremely dazzling.
The sergeants of the Quartet did not know that this was an emergency, and would only take it for granted that this was part of the military parade that their general had arranged long ago.
The most important thing is that this scene is really shocking.
When Liang Cheng waved the black dragon flag,
the soldier below instinctively raised the sword in his hand and shouted:
"The general is mighty!"
"The general is mighty!"
At this moment,
Liang Cheng finally controlled the evil spirit brought about by the promotion of the second company. He inserted the flagpole into the table and knelt down on one knee towards Zheng Fan:
“Thank you, Lord!”
When the soldiers around saw this, their excitement continued to reach a new level:
"Long live the prince!"
"Long live the prince!"
"Long live the prince, long live the prince. ,Long live!”
……
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!"
"All the ministers, please be free of ceremony."
Ji Chengjue sat on the dragon chair and looked at the kneeling courtiers below. .
There are two people still standing;
One is an envoy from the state of Qian, and the other is an envoy from the state of Chu.
After the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, the four major kingdoms of Zhuxia in the past became three major kingdoms;
Now, in the court of Dayan, the envoys of other small countries had long knelt down, and only Qian The envoys of the state and the state of Chu can also maintain the dignity of the country by praying.
It’s just that everyone is kneeling to me for independence. From the emperor’s point of view, it seems a bit too dazzling.
But Ji Chengjue will not be angry because of this. The emperor still has the courage to accept all rivers.
The ministers stood up;
Today's court meeting is a large court meeting, with many ministers participating. One of the themes is that many envoys will leave to return to their country tomorrow, which can be regarded as a farewell.
There are usually diplomatic personnel between countries. Honglu Temple specially arranges this. However, the truly high-level envoys, that is, the imperial envoys representing their respective monarchs, will not be permanently stationed. Most of them will not be stationed permanently. The time will come once a year and stay for one to two months. If other major events happen, the number of imperial envoys will be increased and the time will be extended.
The envoys from the small countries began to come forward and speak one by one. The general idea was to thank the State of Yan and His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan for their hospitality, and hope that the friendship between our country and Dayan will last forever.
After the envoys from the small country finished speaking,
the envoy from the Qian country took a step forward;
In the Qian Kingdom, no matter when you go to the Yan Kingdom as an envoy, it is a valuable political qualification. After all, the envoy is a tiger and a wolf. After returning, you will ask people to flatter and perform, and arrange a few more in the mission. A good person made up a story, about being calm in the face of danger, standing in the main hall, being so righteous that he directly shocked Emperor Yan, etc.;
There are many similar stories.
After all, in the past hundred years, Qian Guo has rarely won on the battlefield, but in the story, he has never lost.
The most famous "Zhongzheng Yingchao" during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Qian State, most of the ministers had been to the Yan State as envoys, which greatly enhanced their reputation.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Dayan, I have something unclear, please enlighten me."
The emperor did not respond.
The envoy of Qian State continued:
“This envoy has heard that in the past two months, there seems to be a relatively intensive mobilization of troops, horses, food and grass in Yan State. I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor of Yan State, Yan State. What do you want from the country?
Now,
I, Daqian, and Yan and Chu have stopped fighting for five years. The people of all countries finally have a chance to breathe;
Yan Kingdom,
Do you want to do the old thing again and tear up the alliance? "
The questions asked by the envoy of the State of Qian were extremely unreasonable.
He was also ready when several ministers of the State of Yan popped out of the hall to scold him for his "boldness" Arrogant",
Then he would use Po Xia Donkey to accuse him,
In this way, you can talk about the "question" and ensure your own safety.
However,
what surprised the Qianguo envoy was that
it was extremely quiet in the main hall.
None of the civil and military officials of Yan State standing in the two columns stood up to scold him;
Nowadays, Yan's normal court meeting process has undergone tremendous changes due to the emergence of the cabinet system. In order to increase efficiency, the cabinet will collect issues in advance;
The cabinet will then define the issues that need to be discussed at the court meeting, and then Submit it to the emperor, who will make additions and deletions.
And "If something happens, we will start, if nothing happens, we will retreat." This is the final question to ask whether anyone has any proposed issues that they would like to start at the moment.
For this reason,
When they entered the court before, all the civil and military officials who were qualified to stand here got today's issue;
There is shock,
there is consternation,
there is doubt,
there is confusion,
but the cabinet bosses and the bosses of various ministries have actually already They had a tacit understanding on this matter, and they had already participated in it early. They were very calm, and the officials below could follow suit and accept this matter.
The envoy of the Qian Kingdom who had been left hanging there seemed a little uncomfortable.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue:
"Is it possible that His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan really wants to start a war again to save the lives of the people?" ..."
"Yes."
The envoy of Qianguo was stunned;
The envoys from Chu State and other envoys from other countries were also stunned.
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair above looked at the envoy of Chu State standing there,
At this time, the envoy of Qian State woke up from the shock and immediately shouted ;
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the State of Yan, this is a betrayal of faith, putting all the people in water and fire without caring, putting the common people in disaster without..."
"If you continue to make noise, I will cut you off first."< br>
"..." The envoy of Qianguo.
When the envoy of the Qian Kingdom heard this sentence with... no, it was a very straightforward threat, his face immediately turned red. This was because he was angry, afraid, and even more so. It comes from humiliation;
How can it be so, how can it be so reasonable, barbarian, barbarian, Yan barbarian!
But no matter what,
at this moment,
He bit his lip.
Actually, if you think about it with your brain, how can you change the question of who will go to war first? Even the emperor cannot do this as he pleases.
But this is the court of the Yan State,
This is the emperor of the Yan State,
In addition to the Yan people’s tradition of being generous,
The envoys of the Qian Kingdom were really "silenced".
“Jing Xueyi, the envoy of the Chu State, may I ask what the previous words of His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan meant?”
……
“Jing Renli, the envoy of the Chu State, "Excuse me, what did the Prince Regent mean by what he said earlier?"
Under the Zhennan Pass, in the military commander's tent, facing the military generals standing on both sides, he faced a man in a python robe sitting there. Regent of Dayan;
Jing Renli mustered up his courage and forced himself to ask questions in an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.
In fact, Jing Renli, a descendant of the Jing family, had some connections with Zheng Fan;
Over the years, Jing Renli would appear as an envoy of Chu every year I sent the Prince of Jindong to visit Xiong Liqing and Da Niu, and on behalf of the Emperor of Chu, I sent my uncle his heartfelt message.
This is how the big girl thinks that Uncle Chu is good. Among them, Jing Renli is the one who worked hard to make the connection.
He was a high-ranking official in the Chu State. He was not a high-ranking official, but he was also one of the favored ministers around the Emperor of Chu.
At this time,
Standing next to the regent, Eunuch Huang, who was wearing a big red robe and had already gained weight, took a step forward, pinched his orchid fingers, and said to Jing Renli who was standing below:< br>
"Your Majesty's words are so clear. Why, does your envoy suffer from ear disease?"
Yes,
Eunuch Huang is here again.
In the past few years, Eunuch Huang has long retreated to the second line in the palace;
It stands to reason that the most unbearable thing for the eunuch in the palace is to retire. It is not only the sadness of leaving the tea, but also the The pain of being retaliated against after offending someone before.
But Eunuch Huang was different. He took the initiative to request to retire. He lived in his own house in the capital on weekdays, but from time to time, he could go into the palace to talk to His Majesty.
Among the eunuchs of Dayan Palace, he has been on the battlefield many times, and as a eunuch overseeing the army, he still maintains a record of complete victory.
This is transcendent qualifications and an ironclad foundation.
Nowadays, he can live in a house outside the palace and be cared for by his servants, and he can still maintain the relationship with the palace and His Majesty. The reputation of his ancestors has still not failed;
This day, not to mention how comfortable it is, is simply the ultimate dream of all great eunuchs after retirement.
Eunuch Huang knows who gave all this.
He was also very fortunate. Fortunately, the relationship between His Majesty and the Prince Regent was still "like a glue", so he could continue to think of the prince in his heart without any burden.
A while ago, the emperor issued an order to ask himself whether he still had the strength to make another trip to Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Eunuch Huang immediately felt his waist and legs no longer hurt. He quickly entered the palace to face the emperor. He patted his chest and promised:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to devote myself to Dayan and die!"
>Then,
he rushed to eastern Shanxi with the imperial edict and a group of personal followers in a hurry, ten days earlier than expected, which shows how much Eunuch Huang misses the regent.
Jing Renli said solemnly: "The regent asked me, Da Chu, to cede the land of three more counties? Please calm down, Your Majesty. I don't have to go back to ask my Majesty. Here, I can directly give it to Your Majesty." A clear answer, I am too big to agree to it”
In the handsome tent, all the generals had unconcerned smiles on their faces.
We don’t care whether you agree or not?
When is a war necessary? When is Qiu Ba needed?
When I want it but you don’t say yes!
Actually, the reason why Jing Renli came to Zhennanguan now was because of the large-scale mobilization of troops, horses, food and grass in Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was impossible to hide it, and Jin Dong seemed to have no intention of concealing it. .
Therefore, Jing Renli had to go through both emotions and reasons.
"Your Majesty, Yan and Chu have been living in harmony for five years. During these five years, although there have been occasional frictions on the border between the two sides, the border people of the two countries have lived and worked in peace and contentment.
I am a great Chu. His Majesty the Emperor regards the prince as his confidant, and the prince is my consort;
So, why does the prince want to restart the war at this time? "
...
< br>
"Why? Because I had a dream last night."
On the dragon chair, the emperor turned slightly sideways and pointed upward;
In fact, the emperor's sitting posture was very uncomfortable. Ya, but the emperor is used to it, and the ministers are also used to it.
The one who is sitting upright may be a puppet. In other words, the emperor who can sit on the dragon chair in a very ordinary posture is probably because he is in the middle of the court and has completed the visit to the court. He kept his word.
Even etiquette and etiquette can no longer restrain him.
"In this dream, I dreamed of the Great Xiazi. The Great Xiazi told me personally that he wanted me to follow the will of Heaven, inherit the aspirations of the Xia, replace the Xia with Yan, and reunify the Xia."
Zhu. The envoys were stunned. Is this... so direct?
Back then, Zheng Fan once joked with the blind man that during the late emperor's time, fighting not only wasted money and national strength, but also wasted his son.
Every division is famous, and every division is famous. Sometimes, a target of hatred is really needed to inspire the whole country, eliminate resistance, and support the war.
But...
Times have changed.
Today's Dayan dominates the north, digesting and absorbing the three Jin lands. It has been eight years since the New Deal was implemented.
The treasury is full and the accumulation is rich, which has changed the situation where the people were almost in dire straits at the end of the late emperor's reign. Moreover, the Jindong Prince's Palace is even more vigorous and has not slackened off for a moment.
Today's Dayan,
no longer needs to hide or tuck in, nor does she need to hold her pipa half-covered.
It's time
to speak openly and openly
to express the 800-year-old resentment and anger of the old Yan people and the ambitions of the late emperors for countless generations.
In the court hall of the Imperial Palace in Yanjing City,
The emperor sitting on the dragon throne,
Standing up slowly,
his gaze
swept all the courtiers in the hall.
In the commander's tent at Zhennan Pass,
The Prince Regent patted the armrest of the white tiger leather seat,
Standing up,
in the commander's tent, all the generals looked solemn.
"Listen to me..."
"Listen carefully..."
"Preach my will and understand the world. From today on... …”
"The order of King Gu has been passed on to all the armies, starting from now on..."
"We, the officials of Great Yan, our clan of Great Yan, and the people of Great Yan, should gather together with one ambition and perseverance. While condensing, I will always remember the remnants of the bravery of my ancestors, and never forget the blood-stained grandeur of the mountains and rivers. Help me to reshape the world into a unified one, and to rebuild the country without borders. One day... "
"I, the great Yan warriors, shall inherit the position of the black dragon, defend the territory and open up the frontiers, wipe out the four barbarians, and establish the foundation of my great Yan for eternity. I will lead you all the way to conquer;
Until, there is no enemy who dares to stand, until there is no country that will not surrender,
Until..."
…
“I, Dayan, am Zhuxia!” (End of this chapter)
