Chapter 944: Founding of the People's Republic of China
"Woo woo, mother......" The little emperor who was asleep woke up from his sleep in fright, and looked at his mother who fell in a pool of blood and cried.
Xiang Yu originally only cared about killing the Empress Dowager of Nanchu and had forgotten that there was also the little emperor of Nanchu, but as a result, he cried so much that he attracted his attention, and his heart immediately became murderous, since he had seen all the things he had just done to his mother, if he kept it, it would be a scourge after all, so he would simply kill him without doing anything, so as not to have endless troubles.
"Big bastard, don't come here! I want my mother, I want my mother. Mother, wake up! The little emperor cried and shouted for his mother, but his mother had fallen to the ground forever and could not get up again.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, she was just too tired so she fell asleep on the ground, you should go to sleep too! Come, I'll cover you. Xiang Yu walked into the little emperor step by step.
The little emperor was so frightened that he stiffened and didn't dare to move, but he kept shouting for help in his mouth, "Overlord, my subordinates heard the emperor's scream, I don't know if something happened, do you need us to come in and help?" A soldier came from outside the tent and asked.
Xiang Yu easily covered the little emperor's head with the quilt so that he couldn't speak, and then wrapped it hard without even letting him breathe, the little emperor shook his hands and feet desperately, only the sound of humming and chirping, like a chicken was grabbed by Xiang Yu.
"Isn't that a voice? Just now the emperor just had a nightmare, but now it's good to wake up and coax him, you don't need to come in, lest there are too many people and scare the emperor again, go down! Xiang Yu said.
The soldiers outside heard that there was indeed no movement inside, and they all retreated, and the little emperor in the quilt in Xiang Yu's hand stopped jumping, and his two little hands slowly beat down, and he couldn't hear his wheezing. Xiang Yu was afraid that he would be careful with himself, so he pressed twice harder, and punched twice with his fist before the quilt was lifted, and sure enough, the little emperor's face was blue and he had already lost his breath and lay in the quilt.
Xiang Yu saw that the little emperor was also killed by himself, and now no one can restrain him, but this also means that his reputation will become worse and he will be criticized more. Just imagine that the Empress Dowager of Southern Chu and the Little Emperor were still safe and sound when they were with the People's Liberation Army, and the Supreme Treasure handed over the two of them to Xiang Yu without any quid pro quo. As a result, Xiang Yu died in less than an hour after arriving at the barracks. Even if Xiang Yu tried his best to gag everyone's mouths and fabricate a reason that was not for him to kill, he would always give the People's Liberation Army an excuse to kill him, a rebellious murderer.
So Xiang Yu stayed in the camp tent and thought for a long time in front of the two cold corpses, until the sunset when the two corpses in the West Mountain began to attract flies, he slowly walked out of the camp and announced to everyone that the Empress Dowager of Southern Chu had the intention of rebellion, and wanted to kill the little emperor to usurp the throne and govern herself, and was killed by herself, but the little emperor had already been covered by her with a quilt on the bed, and she couldn't save him, and expressed her grief.
"Didn't you hear the voice coming from the emperor's tent? I sent you to protect the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but you let such a thing happen under your nose, are you in league with the ruthless Queen Mother Wan'er? Come on, take them down for me, they protect the emperor unfavorably, causing the emperor to die, and if they do not report the situation to the king, they should be dealt with by military law, and they can be executed. Xiang Yu questioned the soldiers who had just come to patrol.
Those soldiers couldn't say their suffering, they already knew in their hearts that this was Xiang Yu's deliberate doing, in order to kill them. But no matter how much they hinted that Xiang Yu himself would not tell this matter, Xiang Yu still wanted to kill them. In the end, they were all put to death, and not a single one was left alive. And Xiang Yu can be regarded as saving some reputation for himself. But the soldiers are not all fools, some soldiers have long understood what is going on, but they have no chance to resist as soldiers now, as long as they have objections, they will be killed by Xiang Yu for various reasons, so the remaining soldiers can only pretend to admit this so-called fact and hide their inner thoughts in their hearts.
But the evaluation of Xiang Yu outside is different, both the people and the People's Liberation Army think that it is a conspiracy deliberately planned by Xiang Yu in order to completely seize the throne. Because soon after this, Xiang Yu announced the establishment of the Western Chu Dynasty, which inherited the will of the Southern Chu Dynasty, and crowned himself as the founding emperor of Western Chu. Xiang Yu no longer has any city where he can build a capital, but in order to save his face, he still announced that he would build a capital in Henan, with the country name Xinyuan.
According to the convention, to establish a new country and hold the founding ceremony, Xiang Yu made some generals more officials and knights as usual to stabilize the morale of the army. But when he looked at the court hall built in simple tents, and watched the soldiers below him perform royal salutes to him, it was indeed a naked mockery in his opinion, as if he was laughing at the fact that he did not even have his own imperial city and palace. In a fit of rage, he threw the crown on his head to the ground, stood up and overthrew the dragon chair he was sitting on, and pointed loudly outside the camp tent and scolded: "Supreme Treasure, you despicable villain plotted against me! I, Xiang Yu and you, are incompatible! All the soldiers listened to my orders, our army and the enemy went to war, if anyone captured the Supreme Treasure alive, I would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, and the official would be promoted to the fifth level, and the same would be true for whoever captured Lu Xiaoyu alive. ”
After speaking, he angrily threw off his sleeves and left the camp tent, and came to the river alone to watch the movements of the People's Liberation Army on the other side. The hateful Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu, it turned out that they were deliberately designing to frame themselves when they wanted to negotiate with themselves from the beginning, in order to squander all the images that were still on the side of justice. He didn't get Chen Qingyan, and Wan'er beside him actually betrayed herself and took refuge in the Supreme Treasure, which was simply unacceptable to him. Before, I still wanted to fight with them in a fair and bright way, it seems that Wang Mang is right, there is nothing good about the bandit army, anyway, this is not his strong point, he has to engage in a sneak attack to have a chance to win. It's a pity that now Wang Mang was inexplicably killed by Lu Xiaoyu, and this plan can only be completed by himself.
Xiang Yu was looking across the river, only to see that there were many similar carriages in the PLA barracks, but they looked more like cattle grain trucks, Xiang Yu had captured these are the People's Liberation Army's grain trucks called wooden oxen and flowing horses, looking at the battle, they were ready to go out to transport grain. No, now their camp is set up here, where else do they need to transport the food.
Xiang Yu, who realized that something was wrong, hid behind a tree and quietly observed the every move of the PLA on the opposite side.
