148, compete with Tu'an for the world
Three weeks later, Dongshui used powerful artillery fire to break through the capital of Western Chu, capture all members of the royal family alive, and unify the northern region. Ξ©(8)(1)Ξ©γChinese.β‘81.
The Tu'an people also broke through Nanzhao by using poisonous insects, tigers and leopards driven by witchcraft, and the capital of Nanzhao was also destroyed under Tu'an's attack, and the beautiful water city completely became a bloody city.
At this point, Dongshui and Tu'an faced each other in the north and south, divided into two, and the armies of both sides pressed on the border and waited for it.
The war is ruthless and painful, and all the people have felt the horror of the war after this war, and desperately hope that the war will stop as soon as possible, but everyone's hearts are tense, because the biggest war has not come, and all the people also know that Dongshui and Tu'an will soon have a head-on duel to decide who is the overlord of the world.
The Tu'an army was mainly composed of Tu'an soldiers and witches, while the army of Dongshui integrated the remnants of Dongshui, Chen, Nanzhao, Western Chu and Western Qi.
Although Dongshui wiped out Western Chu and other countries, the people had great dissatisfaction and resentment towards Dongshui, but these resentments quickly disappeared under the compensation of Dongshui's wealth and generosity.
After receiving the good military treatment and weapon replenishment of the Dongshui army, the hostility towards Dongshui also disappeared, and they said that they would fight for the safety of Dongshui. After receiving a large amount of compensation from the Dongshui Imperial Court after the war, the people of various countries supported the Dongshui Imperial Court incomparably.
Because Dongshui gave them everything they needed to survive.
"There is still money to spend on being a soldier, the Dongshui Imperial Court is good, we don't need to be a soldier anymore."
"Yes, my family has been allocated the land and money of the imperial court, and my life is much better than before."
"Well, the people under the rule of the Tuan people are miserable, not only do they have to pay a lot of money, but they also have to provide food for the poisonous insects and beasts of Tuan, and their lives are really miserable."
"Don't worry, the prince will rule the world."
Chen Chen was sitting in Shengzhou City at the moment to meet with the civil and military officials and the major merchants of Dongshui, and after the Dongshui army unified the north, he immediately led people back to Shengzhou.
"It's really hard work for you merchants this time, if it weren't for your continuous supply of goods to the people, otherwise it would not have been possible to calm the people's anger so quickly." Since the unification of the north, Dongshui merchants are wandering to the north, after the war is scarce, the people are not happy, it is really thanks to these merchants to carry goods, timely and effective replenishment of the localities, otherwise the people riot, it will be difficult to do.
"The prince is polite, this is what we should do." When the merchants heard this, they hurriedly waved their hands, although the supply of materials almost emptied their reserves, but there was the purchase guarantee of the people, plus the subsidies and support of the imperial court, so their economy not only did not shrink, on the contrary, they also made a lot of money, and even the merchants were eager to open a larger market, hoping to dominate the world as soon as possible, so that they could make another profit.
Chen Chen smiled slightly: "Okay, thank you, don't worry, it's a matter of time before this king rules the world, and then the market here is yours, and at the same time, if you settle here, this king will also open up overseas markets, so some of you merchants are busy." β
The merchants have repeatedly said that it is not hard, who is tired of making money and counting money?
"Commander Wei, how is the situation of the army now?" Chen Chen looked at Commander Wei and asked gently, the army is the foundation of Dongshui, if the army's combat effectiveness is low, then everything gained may be in vain.
Commander Wei took the paper and said: "Lord Wang, there is no big problem in this aspect of the army, the soldiers of various countries have been submissive under our integration, and the development of Shengzhou weapons is also very successful, a large number of artillery fire is enough for us to use, Airbus has also produced a lot, Chen Cheng and Yang Cheng led the army to sit in the east and west respectively, once attacked, it can echo the east and west, and flank Tu'an." β
"Well, now that everything is ready, let the soldiers rest and attack in three days." Chen Chen said without thinking after listening to Commander Wei's report.
When Commander Wei heard that Chen Chen was going to start a war quickly, he was startled and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Wang, will you attack in three days?" Don't soldiers need to rest? If the war starts so quickly, I am afraid that the people and soldiers will not be able to bear it. β
Chen Chen smiled slightly: "The longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for the Tu'an people, and it will be no good for us at all, there are more Tu'an witches, so we must attack as soon as possible, once more witches come out, then the problem will be more serious." β
"Are witches so powerful? Rajah? Commander Wei was taken aback, and he didn't believe the witch in Chen Chen's mouth.
"Yes, when this king was in Tu'an, he saw the power of witchcraft with his own eyes, and the master of Tu'an Protector can drive away witchcraft by lighting a stick of incense, and at the same time manipulating a large number of poisonous insects, which is even more unguardable. Tu'an's soldiers were bewitched by witchcraft, naturally they didn't know fatigue and pain, we had cannons, so we easily broke the opponent's city, but Tu'an used witchcraft to break through the city. Chen Chen recalled the witchcraft he had seen in Tu'an, and until now he could not come back to his senses and understand the principle.
"The army has been settled, so what about the people's livelihood?" Chen Chen looked back at the prime minister.
The prime minister hurriedly said: "Lord, the minister has already arranged it, and those who have gold and silver can directly exchange twice the banknotes, and those who do not have gold and silver will compensate for a certain amount of paper money to ensure their basic livelihood." Major merchants have set up shop in various places, and at the same time, Master Li has been presiding over the road repair work without stopping, and the ruined cities in various places have also been rebuilt, and the excessive exiled population has also been divided into the reconstruction work, ensuring their lives and places, but the land is too wasted and difficult to cultivate for the time being. β
"As for the land, as long as the reconstruction work is carried out normally and the people's livelihood can be guaranteed, then this is enough, and after the victory over Tu'an, further planning and subdivision will be made." Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction, he was quite satisfied with the progress of various tasks, as long as the people's hearts were stabilized and the masses were not allowed to gather to make trouble, then this would be a win.
"Yes, the prince is far-sighted, and his subordinates admire him very much." The prime minister listened to Chen Chen's arrangement, and surrendered with joy for a while.
Chen Chen nodded and smiled: "Then the next thing is the big battle, tell the soldiers that once the witchcraft and witchcraft appear, they will be bombarded with artillery immediately, and there is no need to be stingy with artillery fire." β
"Yes." Commander Wei nodded and said.
Three days later, outside the city of Yunfu, Chen Cheng led the army to arrive here, under the bombardment of artillery, the gate of Yunfu fell to the ground, and the army entered Yunfu directly along the way.
The Yunfu that greeted me no longer had the prosperity of the past, but war and destruction. The water streets of Yunfu have been completely destroyed, there is not a drop of water left, the houses on both sides have been reduced to ruins in the war, and this Kyoto of the Southern Zhao Dynasty has become a deserted dead city for a hundred years.
"General, why is there no one, this is actually a dead city." The soldiers looked at the empty city of Nuoda, and they couldn't help but feel weak for a while.
Chen Cheng sat on the chariot and looked at the scene in front of him, the bonfires were burning the ruins of the houses, and the slightest creaking sound of dead wood burning was particularly permeable in the silent space. (To be continued.) )
