Chapter 110: Pre-War Patrol Camp
What does it mean to really rise?
Everyone looked at each other, His Majesty the Emperor is a sage who has not been met in a thousand years, and his thoughts are something that we ordinary people can guess?
Seeing this, Wang Guocheng had the intention to show off, and said: "You all listen well, this is what His Majesty the Emperor said personally, and he will have to take the test in the future!" β
Oh?
Everyone came to the spirit, preoccupied, in the heart of His Majesty, what kind of life can we ordinary people live?
On that day, His Majesty discussed politics with Kong Shangxian, the secretary of the Ministry of Education, and once put forward a great idea...... The seventy people eat meat and cloth, and the people are neither hungry nor cold, so that the people can live and die without regrets, and build a well-off society in an all-round way! β
Wang Guocheng paused, and then said: "Under the guidance of His Majesty the Emperor, the common people will one day be able to live a well-off life...... Hmm, do you know what it means to be well-off? β
Everyone shook their heads blankly.
"The common people are rich in food and clothing, there is no disaster of war, and they live a life like a noble lord, which is called a well-off!" Wang Guocheng is a serious way.
The days of the aristocracy and the old-fashioned days......
Everyone showed a look of fascination, the days of the aristocratic lord, I couldn't think of it before, I got along with Mr. Teaching for a long time during this time, and everyone also has a more detailed understanding of the life of the nobles, if you can live a few days like that in this life, you haven't lived in vain, right?
At this moment, a fast horse galloped to the edge of the village, posted a notice on a tree at the entrance of the village, and then quickly left.
The huge sound of horses' hooves, coupled with the clothes of the officials on horseback, immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone is no stranger to such a situation, during this period of time, the government has issued several decrees, all of which were announced in this way.
Could it be that something happened again?
The people listening to the lecture in the house stretched out their heads to look, and Wang Guocheng was also very curious, so he waved his hand and led everyone to walk under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
When they arrived, a group of people had already gathered below, and when they saw Wang Guocheng, a teaching gentleman, approaching, they all gave way one after another.
"Start a war...... Wang Guocheng glanced at the content on it, very surprised.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor drove the expedition last month, and he had just fought a big battle with Zheng Guo, so why should he fight again?
Looking further down, it turned out that it was because of the palace change planned by Zheng Guo some time ago......
However, since it was a war, how could it be so fanfare that even the countryside was notified?
β¦β¦
On September 3, the third day after the news of the war was announced, Yang Mu received a reply from Zheng Kang.
The content of the letter is probably that he has no idea about the change in the Cangguo Palace, all of which was done by Zheng Han, and expresses his gratitude to Cangguo for agreeing to send troops to help, hoping that the Cangguo army can come to the city as soon as possible to help him win back his prestige.
Yang Mu handed over the letter to Kong Shangxian and Wei Zhongquan for review, and the monarch and ministers discussed it for a long time, and finally decided on the date of sending troops - September 20th!
The reason why this day was chosen is actually a lot of considerations, for two consecutive months, the string of Cangguo has been too tight, and it is necessary to properly ease the rhythm so that the people can have a process of adaptation.
Because, if you want to prepare for a national war, it is not only a matter of the army, but also the mobilization of the people of the whole country, such as the mobilization of grain and grass, the pacification of the people, and even the formation of reserve troops, once the front line encounters an unfavorable situation, the militia can be quickly replenished.
With the issuance of the edict, the whole country has entered a state of high-speed operation, several decrees are issued every day in the Zichen Palace, twelve departments cooperate closely, and the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which have relatively few things, have also sent people to other departments to help.
Just when the whole country thought that His Majesty the Emperor was planning a war situation in the palace, Yang Mu took four hundred personal guards, as well as Kong Shangxian and Wei Zhongquan, to the camp on the outskirts of the city, the station of the Blue Dragon Legion.
Here, in addition to the 5,000 Blue Dragon Legion, there were also 15,000 prisoners, all gathered from all over the place, lined up and paraded outside the camp.
"Hooray, hooray, hoorayβ"
Suddenly, a full 20,000 people shouted and bowed like a tsunami.
Yang Mu stood on the handsome platform, glanced at the 20,000 people below, and nodded.
Obviously, the Blue Dragon Legion has never slackened its training for more than a month, not to mention that the mental outlook when lining up has improved by several grades, and even the skin on its body has darkened a lot, which shows that it maintains high-intensity training every day.
And the 15,000 soldiers, there is no captive look, but like a farmer who cultivates the cultivated land, many of them are still covered with mud, the most noteworthy thing is their attitude, from the shouting when they visited the shrine just now, we can know that in the past two months, Kong Shangxian's ideological education of these people has never slackened, and now he is not completely surrendered, but at least there is no resistance to Cangguo in his heart.
"Let's get started." Yang Mu said to Wei Zhongquan next to him.
"Yesβ"
Wei Zhongquan replied, with a wave of his hand, a group of people in the captive camp were immediately escorted out and arranged to stand at the front of the team.
More than 20 ......
Yang Mu thought silently in his heart, these people are some of the original generals in the captive team, most of them are at the level of a thousand generals, composed of some nobles in Zheng Kang's camp, although their talents are ordinary, but compared to the rest of the peasant soldiers, their vision is still much higher.
Yang Mu glanced at these people and said majestically: "I came here today, I just want to ask, who among you have been dissatisfied with this period of time?" β
As soon as the words fell, a tattered Zheng general laughed and scolded with a disgruntled face: "Dissatisfied? Emperor Cangguo, I respect you as an emperor, and I also admit that I am a general of a defeated army, but after all, we are noble generals, even if we are assigned to reclaim the wasteland, we should not be treated the same as those despicable ordinary soldiers! In this way, let me wait how to be respected! β
"Yes, we are all nobles in Zheng State, even if we become captives, we should communicate with the country and redeem each other with money!" Another general also said indignantly.
The rest of the generals also nodded in agreement.
"Kill!" Yang Mu's eyelids jumped, and he said coldly.
Immediately, several guards dragged the two disrespectful generals down, and then drew the sharp blades in the scabbard and slashed at the necks of the two generals.
Suddenly, the head fell to the ground, and blood flowed everywhere.
And at this time, those captured generals were already stupid, they didn't expect that the emperor of Cangguo would kill people without a word, without mercy, were the two generals wrong?
It was a concept rooted in the hearts of the aristocracy, who everywhere felt that they were different from ordinary commoners, that they were superior to others, and that they should be treated differently even if they were prisoners.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, all the captives were frightened, after two months, did the Emperor of Cangguo finally attack the captives?
