Chapter 222: Capturing the Emperor
Chen Xuan continued: "Our Chen Dynasty was the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, ending the decadent rule of the Li Dynasty, and my father was also working hard and making great efforts to govern the country, and the situation of the whole country was very good, how can there be any inevitability!" I don't agree with your thoughts. ”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Rui had just spared the emperor's life, Chen Xuan dared to refute Zhao Rui in public, what if Zhao Rui was angry and then executed the emperor?
The soldiers didn't dare to breathe, and they kept staring at Chen Xuan and asked him to say a few words, but Chen Xuan still went his own way and didn't take this matter to heart.
"Hehehe......"
Without the expected anger, Zhao Rui laughed and said: "I know you won't believe it, so I'm not ready to explain it to you, I'm afraid you have to see it with your own eyes!" In this case, I will order someone to take you to Dabao City for a while, and the answer is there, and I think you should also find it. ”
Then Zhao Rui had no interest in saying more, and ordered someone to take Chen Xuan into the carriage and send him to Dabaocheng.
At this time, two people came from the east, and although their faces were already bruised and swollen like pigs' heads, they could still distinguish their expressions because they were too surprised.
The people who came were Sihamoni and Li Fulin.
"Oh my God, you will destroy Beijiang Mansion in such a short time?"
Sihamoni's mouth was the size of a duck egg, and if there had been no fight just now, at least two could have been stuffed.
Li Fulin saw too many corpses and blood, and couldn't help but feel sick.
"Amitabha, killing is too heavy, sin, sin."
"you, why don't you think it's too heavy to kill us Angkor people when you occupy the city!"
"Oh? You still have people in Angkor, aren't they all wild monkeys? ”
"You pig's head, if you want to be beaten, just say it!"
"Come, see who's afraid of whom!"
Both of them are civilians, and their strength is not good, although they are fighting, but neither of them has the strength to fight anymore.
Seeing that there were a lot of people in front of them, the two hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.
Hey...... This is!
Both of them were surprised, because they had been to the Jiaozhi Palace and knew what Chen Xuan looked like, only to see that he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, boarded the carriage on Zhao Rui's side and was taken away.
And there are five or six thousand unarmed Jiaozhi generals standing next to them, aren't they......
Zhao Rui will win if he wins, how can he capture all the emperors of the Chen Dynasty, and capture so many soldiers, Zhao Rui has really gained a lot in this siege battle!
Both of them were red-eyed for a while, Zhao Rui mastered Chen Xuan, and in the future, he would definitely have more say in the Chen Dynasty than the two of them, even if it was the compensation for the Emperor Jiaozhi's land cution, it was possible!
If Zhao Rui really has the idea of reconciliation, the two countries really can't take advantage of it at all.
Zhao Rui also saw the two of them at this time, looked at their pig-headed faces, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect our attack on the city, and you two envoys also followed, and now your face is injured, it really makes me unbearable!" ”
knew that Zhao Rui was ridiculing, but for the sake of face, the two of them couldn't admit in front of everyone that the two of them beat each other, even if they didn't want personal face, they had to save the country's face.
"Yes, yes, it's our honor to be able to contribute to the prince......"
The two hurriedly nodded and got off the donkey, seeing that there was no advantage to take advantage of, and all their previous ideas were in vain, so they hurriedly returned to China to report the news.
Zhao Rui doesn't feel anything, in fact, he can already be regarded as a famous fight, if he had encroached on the territory of Jiaozhi before, and let the Angkor Dynasty and Champa not take him very seriously, then now, Zhao Rui is already a well-known number one person in the three Southeast Asian countries, and his strength is definitely not underestimated.
can capture other emperors, although he is not the emperor in power, but this is not something that ordinary people can accomplish!
took Beijiang Mansion, and at the same time taught Chen Jiong, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, a good lesson, Chen Jiong was completely convinced, and kept sending envoys to Zhao Rui to say good things and give gifts, and promised to let Zhao Rui be the prime minister of Jiaozhi and other benefits, just to let Zhao Rui quickly put Chen Xuan back.
In addition, while Chen Jiong gave Zhao Rui a soft policy, he also sent more forces to several other cities, and at the same time, resources from all over the country were also sent over, just to resist the attack of Angkor and Champa.
Angkor and Champa are also really hateful, obviously they have sent more troops, but because they don't have the help of muskets like Zhao Rui, the two cities can't be captured, and now they can only watch Zhao Rui make a profit.
And while they were red-eyed, they also kept exchanging letters, urging Zhao Rui to quickly cooperate with them, extinguish Jiaozhi, and then divide the territory, the big deal is to give Zhao Rui more points.
Zhao Rui scoffed at such letters, and if he wanted to beat himself, he would fight him, and they didn't need to cooperate at all, they just wanted to use Zhao Rui as a gun, and Zhao Rui could still see this trick.
But after all, war is not an overnight thing, even if Zhao Rui really captures Jiaozhi now, the so-called seizure of the country is easy and difficult to defend the country, who will manage such a large area for himself, even if his own officials are enough, some customs are not familiar, it is easy to make mistakes and the people are dissatisfied, which provides opportunities for the other two countries to exploit loopholes.
In short, Zhao Rui is not in a hurry, let's see the situation.
Because of Chen Jiong's deliberate currying, although Beijiang Mansion is now Zhao Rui's territory, Chen Jiong has no intention of asking for it at all, so Zhao Rui simply arranged the defensive forces here, and then went back to Dabao City.
Let's say that when Chen Xuan arrived in Dabaocheng, he was somewhat depressed, thinking that because of his momentary inner entanglement, he became Zhao Rui's captive, and his heart was inevitably unhappy.
Although he came to find some answers, Chen Xuan still thought it was Zhao Rui's exaggeration, so he stayed in the palace for two days in a depressed mood and never went out.
Because of Zhao Rui's instructions, the people in the palace were also polite to Chen Xuan, and they sent Chen Xuan to the house for three meals a day.
From the small to the big, in this era, it is basically two meals a day, and Zhao Rui's three meals here are enough to see that the conditions are superior.
But the food delivered this day actually had sea fish, which really surprised Chen Xuan, although you can also eat sea fish in Thang Long City, but most of them are shriveled salted fish, where is there such an almost fresh taste?
Chen Xuan also understood that this was a simple pickled fish, and then soaked to remove the saltiness, so as to retain the freshness to the greatest extent, but Anbang Prefecture and Dabaocheng are far away, and the weather is hot, it is extremely rare to eat such fish, so Chen Xuan can't help but be interested in the efficiency of Zhao Rui's territory.
After two days of stuffiness, Chen Xuan really couldn't sit still, and after breakfast, he went to the street for a stroll, and the guards in the palace did not stop him, but lined up two people to follow from a distance.
Although Zhao Rui didn't care whether Chen Xuan would run away or not, he was the emperor after all, and if there was any accident in his territory, Zhao Rui didn't want to see it.
Today's Dabaocheng is the former Langzhou City, Chen Xuan, as the emperor, once came to inspect when he was young, it is a barren border city, with a small population and many mountains, and there is really no prospect for development.
But when Chen Xuan stepped on the city of Dabaocheng again, he couldn't help but be shocked by the excitement of people coming and going, such a prosperous scene, Chen Xuan remembered that it seemed to be a scene he saw when he went to the land of abundance, oh my God, when did Dabaocheng develop so well?
In addition to the population, what surprised Chen Xuan the most was the construction in this city, with small buildings of two or three floors standing on both sides of the road, with the same depth, and there was no particularly prominent building, which looked particularly regular.
The roads throughout the city were about the same width, large enough to accommodate four carriages in parallel, and the ground seemed to be divided by a line of stone powder. And the floor is also very clean, there is no common debris and other disturbing sight, a well-organized appearance.
Although Thang Long City is bigger, it is by no means as clean and beautiful as Dabao City.
Walking slowly to the market, the flow of people here is more dense, Chen Xuan is not in a hurry, slowly walking with the flow of people, he just wants to see the actual appearance of Dabao City.
On both sides of the road of the market, there are not only a variety of shops, but also many stalls outside the shops, where there is a lot of food, play, and use.
What particularly puzzled Chen Xuan was that the business here seemed to be particularly prosperous, and everyone was constantly buying and selling, which was lively.
Are the people of Dabaocheng so rich?
With doubts, when Chen Xuan looked at the people around him, he found that the people in their Dabao City were very particular about dressing.
Neatness and neatness are the most basic, and individual clothes are also of different colors and styles, so it seems that their clothes do not look like they are made at home, they should have been bought.
Chen Xuan has understood the folk sentiment of Jiaozhi, the cloth of the Song Dynasty is very expensive, not everyone can afford to wear it, basically they are wearing their own linen coarse clothes, not to mention any style at all, some of them are better at home, and some are made indiscriminately, which looks particularly messy.
But in Dabaocheng, even if he looks like a farmer, he is wearing a straight board, and the fabric is particularly soft, which should be the cotton cloth that has risen recently.
Chen Xuan himself also has cotton clothes, although they are much better than hemp, but they are also very coarse and uncomfortable to wear.
With an interest in fabrics and clothes, Chen Xuan paid special attention to the shops that sold fabrics and clothes.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, I saw a very spacious shop, and there were many people waiting in line outside to buy.
Chen Xuan looked up at the plaque, which read: "Dabao Weaving Factory Sales Department".
This is a little new, but I have never seen it elsewhere, Chen Xuan stepped forward to check it out with interest.
The shop was crowded with people, and he poked his head into the middle of the line, which caused some people in line to be a little dissatisfied.
