Chapter 1099 The Last Dignity
1099 Luo Xin They heard Hu Hao's words, and they were also a little hesitant, but they were still a little worried in their hearts, those immigrants from the coalition army were not of the same mind as them, that is, once they gained enough benefits, they might rebel!
"Now I estimate that the coalition civilians in our Central Region, plus those prisoners, I estimate that it will be about 2 billion, you think about it, will I put them all in one place?" Hu Hao sat there, looked at them and asked.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to separate them?" Luo Xin heard it and asked.
"If I don't separate them, you will all have an opinion, but there is a lot of land in the south, north, and west that is not owned by our people in the Middle Regions, or rather, not much.
Say, "What will you do if I give you the land and there is no people for you to plant?" If you want to attract the people of the Middle Regions to come over, then you must also come up with your conditions.
As far as you are concerned, what conditions you can offer to go out is nothing more than to attract peasants to go over there and farm over there, but you can't buy a lot of money for the grain you grow, and you still have to rely on commerce and industry, which require money to build.
So, if you think about it, if you don't have taxes, where will you get the money, and you can't rely on the empire to support you, right? With so many countries, who do I support and who don't? Hu Hao sat there and looked at them with a smile and asked.
"Also, you can't expect the empire to be able to give us land, it's already very good!" Jiang Kai heard it and nodded.
"Yes, next, it's up to you, rely on the benefits generated by that land, so, this still needs people, I think, when the time comes, every country will have to divide the people of the coalition army, so it's fair,
Moreover, we people in the Middle Domain, you can attract the past, attract the past to the future, engage in commerce, industry, state management, etc., all of which need to be done by the people of the Middle Domain! Hu Hao sat there and continued to speak to them.
"Well, then Your Majesty, will the people of our Central Region oppose this matter, after all, our Central Region has suffered very heavy casualties now, especially the people, their hatred for the coalition army, I think they can't let go!" Luo Xin looked at Hu Hao and asked.
"This is what you need to promote, and there is also the idea of our people, let them figure out this matter, it can't be said that the hatred is sent to those ordinary people, those ordinary people are actually for survival!" Hu Hao sat there, talking to them about his thoughts, this is a difficult problem,
But Hu Hao believes that such a thing can be solved, after all, those people of the coalition army, they have no choice.
"Okay, let's try this first? However, Your Majesty, we are going to continue to fight the western side now, right? Persuasion and attack must be carried out at the same time! Luo Xin heard it, looked at Hu Hao and said.
"That's for sure, if we don't fight, won't they think that our empire is afraid of them? The fight is also to be beaten, and the persuasion to surrender must also be carried out! Hu Hao nodded and said,
They were relieved to hear it, and if that was the case, they were relieved.
Then they went out and discussed what to do, and at the same time, now the empire also had to transfer some troops from the south of the Middle Domain to the side of the big bear in the west, because the south was now mainly facing the troops of the Zhongling Kingdom.
And the troops of Zhongling Kingdom can't withstand it at all, and the south side doesn't need so many troops, so now we need to mobilize enough troops to the west side to increase the strength of the attack on the west!
Three days later, on the side of the capital of Zhongling Kingdom, the Praetorian Guard troops of Zhongling Kingdom had been fortified layer by layer in the capital of Zhongling Kingdom, and the troops of the Han Empire had already killed the capital and launched an encirclement of Zhongling Kingdom.
And, in some places, the troops of the Han Empire have already launched an attack, and the high-level Janissaries of Zhongling Kingdom want to fight street battles with Hu Hao's troops here.
After all, the equipment of their Praetorian Guard is still very good, and the grassroots officers of the Praetorian Guard are all children of the royal family, so they think that they can withstand the attack of the Han Empire troops on the side of the capital, but what they don't know is that
Those soldiers at the grassroots level, they are ordinary people, they have heard a lot of rumors before, about how those generals on the front line escaped, how those soldiers surrendered with guns,
And after surrendering, the troops of the Han Empire will not kill them, but will only collect their weapons, if you want to join the army, after passing the assessment, you can also join the troops of the Han Empire.
In addition, now the Han Empire has put a lot of soldiers who surrendered from the Zhongling Kingdom in, secretly promoting the attitude of the troops of the Han Empire towards the captives,
There is also the leaflet dropped by the air force, which has made many soldiers already have the idea of surrendering, and they are also dissatisfied with the upper echelons of Zhongling Kingdom, because they have cooperated with the coalition forces before, and the previous family has exploited them too much.
Moreover, when the war was fought, those generals also fled first, so most of the soldiers of the entire Praetorian Guard were unwilling to defend here, but now their company commanders were watching very closely, so that they had no way to escape with weapons.
"Your Majesty, you better go quickly, now our underground passage can still escape, continue here, we can only wait to be captured by Hu Hao's troops!" An old servant beside Zhao Ao for many years said to Zhao Ao.
"Escape, where can you flee to, the entire Central Domain, will eventually fall into Hu Hao's hands, except for those countries like Hu Hao who bought land before the eastern part of the Central Domain, they can also have some land,
The rest of the lands will be included in the territory of the Han Empire, there is no place to escape, and it is only a matter of time before Zhongcheng Kingdom falls! Zhao Ao sat there and said with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty, the general asks to see you!" At this time, the secretary outside came over and said to Hu Hao.
"Come in, what else do you want to report?" Zhao Ao smiled, shook his head and said.
"Yes!" The secretary went out, and soon, Wu Qing and several generals from the military department came over, and when they saw Zhao Ao sitting there, they saluted first.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Ao sat there and asked.
"Your Majesty, now that the Praetorian Guard has been arranged, and the guard troops of our family have also been arranged, in the capital, we will definitely be able to bring great casualties to Hu Hao's troops, even if we fight to the last soldier, we will fight the dignity of our Zhongling Kingdom!" Wu Qing stood there and said to Zhao Ao.
"Well, good!" Zhao Ao heard it, nodded, and didn't say anything else.
"Your Majesty, I think, you better run, even if you don't run, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go first, the north of our empire has not yet been occupied by Hu Hao, I think of that over there, our troops over there will also assist the prince to restore the country!" Wu Qing lowered his head, looked at the ground, and said to Zhao Ao.
"Revenge? Ha, it's impossible, and you don't know how many troops there are on the north side, don't you know? Can you stop Hu Hao's troops? Zhao Ao heard it, smiled, looked at Wu Qing and asked.
"But there's still some hope, isn't it?" Wu Qing then asked rhetorically.
"There is no hope, if the prince leaves, the other royal children will be unlucky, he can't go, I can't go, the Zhongling Kingdom has been inherited for almost a thousand years, and he actually died in my hands, it's ridiculous and sad, I'm not an incompetent emperor, I'm not!" Zhao Ao sat there and said very tragically,
The unconvinced anger in my heart can't come out, if I am an emperor who has no action, an emperor who has no ability, then I was beaten by Hu Hao and died, then there is nothing to say,
But the loss of the country now has nothing to do with whether or not it has the ability or whether it has done something.
"I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced!" Zhao Ao sat there, still shouting at the generals in front of him.
"I'm incompetent, and I've missed the empire!" Wu Qing and the others immediately knelt down.
"Yes, it's you who are incompetent, it's you who have mistaken the empire, damn it! Why did I keep using you to lead the army, why didn't I form a new army at the beginning, what was I afraid of at that time?
Yes, I'm afraid that you will surrender to the coalition army, and I am afraid that there will be such a situation as the Eastern Spirit Kingdom, the general of the empire, surrender to the coalition army, I regret it! Zhao Ao sat there, still very painfully speaking, and tears came down.
"I, I have been an emperor for 11 years, I am diligent, every decision is for the people, I dare not say that I am a good emperor, but I am not a faint king, why can he Hu Hao be able to win the imperial army,
What kind of virtue can he Hu Hao have, he actually controls so much land in the Central Domain, and his troops are invincible? Well? What is he capable of? Zhao Ao still sat there and shouted, he couldn't figure out this question.
Wu Qing and the others knelt there, their heads choked, they didn't dare to get up at all, and they didn't dare to answer Zhao Ao's question, in fact, they didn't understand this question themselves.
"Hu Hao, a young man in his early 20s, has defeated so many countries and made the people so convinced, I don't believe it, I don't believe it." Zhao Ao was still shouting there, but his tone was not as big as it had begun.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we will definitely defend the last dignity of the empire!" Wu Qing knelt there and said.
"Okay, since the outbreak of the war, I have been using you, Hu Hao reminded me many times, saying that you can't do it, I don't believe it,
This time, I still use you, I hope you can play the last dignity of the empire, and don't let Hu Hao see our jokes! I can't be humiliated by Hu Hao like this! Zhao Ao sat there, staring at Wu Qing and said.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" At this time, the generals all knelt down and kowtowed.
