"Son, the country comes first, the family comes last, if the country is gone, what can you talk about the family? Don't worry about me, I'm not a child anymore, my mother can take care of herself, you just let go and do it." The mother held back the tears in her eyes, knowing that she could not show her weakness, because she did not want to be a bondage to her son.

"......" The man was still kneeling, firmly holding his mother's hands, silent at the moment, the man suddenly turned his head, but his eyes were already red, this strong and deep emotion, brought him the motivation to not be afraid of hardships and dangers.

He also didn't want his mother to see him like this.

Swords and guns are ruthless on the battlefield.

When he goes, it may be goodbye.

"This strong man, I have you in the country of Beigu, I am very lucky. Zhu Zhaocheng, who was riding on the horse, did not destroy the touching feelings of the mother and son, but patiently waited for the mother and son to end their final farewell.

For the first time, Zhu Zhaocheng intuitively felt that what he had worked so hard to do before was not in vain.

It has been recognized by the people, and the country has been belonged by the people, which can be described as the greatest merit of a monarch.

Zhu Zhaocheng has always been benevolent, and he thinks he is worthy of the people.

If it weren't for the fact that the pattern of Beigu Country was too small, Zhu Zhaocheng felt that he could make Beigu Kingdom truly achieve national wealth and people's strength, so why worry about the provocation of foreign enemies?

It's a pity that the extremely limited financial income of Beigu has always been a hard injury.

Moreover, Zhu Zhaocheng never exploited the people, so that the financial income would be even less pitiful.

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, Jiang Zhi can't afford your Majesty's evaluation, the real indispensable thing in our Beigu Country is Your Majesty!" Jiang Zhi looked flattered, that was the person he had always admired in his heart, and now he praised him in public.

For the first time, Jiang Zhi felt that it was not very real, and he only felt as if he was in a dream, like a dream.

"No, don't be presumptuous, if you can't afford it, then who can afford it? If you have more good sons like this, why don't I worry about the prosperity of Beigu Kingdom?" Zhu Zhaocheng did not hesitate to praise himself, it is extremely rare for an ordinary person to have such an awareness.

"Your Majesty, I will not disappoint your high expectations, and I will definitely be the best on the battlefield. Jiang Zhi's face was resolute, exuding the vigor of a young man.

"Auntie, I, Zhu Zhaocheng, thank you here, for cultivating a pillar of the country, although his talent is not necessarily excellent, but he is sincerely for the country, such a spirit is commendable. Zhu Zhaocheng thought about it, got off the horse, and then walked straight to Jiang Zhi's mother and bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, you can't help it, you are a daughter, but you really torment the people's women. Jiang Zhi's mother was also taken aback, and immediately helped Zhu Zhaocheng up in a hurry and panic.

"Your Majesty, we also want to join the army, please accept us, the southern army has always been weak, the enemy is strong, if we can't work together, the whole country fights, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the other party, I'm Zhao Hu is not a bad breed, everyone is also two shoulders and one head, I don't believe that those enemies can have the ability to have three heads and six arms." A fierce-looking man, very domineering, led his little brother and said.

"Of course you can, the Beigu country is in danger, it is the time to employ people, you can have this awareness, I thank you for the tens of thousands of people in the Beigu country. Zhu Zhaocheng was really surprised at this time, this big man, judging from his appearance, is obviously a ruffian who is a mess, but what the other party does is impressive.

A ruffian can do this, in Zhu Zhaocheng's opinion, although the other party may have done some wrong things, but in the face of great rights and wrongs, he has done what many people can't do.

If Jiang Zhi at the beginning was compared to a lamp, then the ruffian now is the spark that ignites the wick, illuminating a goal for everyone present.

Those hot-blooded young people present couldn't help but touch their hearts when they saw that a ruffian could have such an awareness, so there was a scene of scrambling to be the first and countless young people signing up to join the army.

This is a huge turning point, as far as Zhu Zhaocheng is concerned, all this happening is still a little unreal, he didn't expect it at all in advance.

Originally, he was ready to see death as home, but when he saw these "cute" people, his mentality had quietly changed.

Perhaps, the Heavenly Phoenix Kingdom is not invincible.

He hasn't lost yet, at least, he's got the hearts and minds of the people.

With the precedent of this city, several other cities have successively joined the Southern Army, and Zhu Zhaocheng gave these new soldiers a resounding name, the Protector Army.

......

Fenyang City, the First Legion, the big battalion.

Tu Shan Wuji sat in the position of the coach, listening to the report of the people below, and tapped his fingers on the chair.

"Marshal, our army has gone north, living up to expectations, and has taken sixteen cities, the most important fortress in the Beigu Kingdom, and there are only four cities left from the imperial city of Beigu. Xiao Qiyue said with a look full of excitement.

The siege of the city is simply very smooth.

At this moment, Xiao Qiyue once again sighed at Her Majesty's wisdom.

"However, the emperor of the Northern Goo Kingdom has personally conquered. When Tu Shan Wuji received this news early in the morning, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and he couldn't understand Beigu Guo's intentions.

"Perhaps, the Northern Gu Kingdom realized its weakness, so it entangled all the forces at its disposal and prepared to fight us to the death?" Xiao Qiyue couldn't help but guess, but few emperors had the courage to drive the expedition in person.

"The people of the sixteen cities can only be dredged, and must not take coercive measures, in case of mutiny, it will not do us any good. Tu Shan Wuji nodded, and could only attribute the answer to Xiao Qiyue's statement.

Being kind to the people of Beigu was actually what Yue Yan warned him when he came.

As for the intention, although Tu Shan Wuji was dull, he was not ignorant, but he guessed a thing or two.

In the final analysis, in this war, Tianfeng Kingdom, as an aggressor, is an unjust party, if it can't show a generous side, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to subdue the people of Beigu Kingdom, and only by showing strong tolerance, these people will one day be assimilated.

Although it is said to be an unjust party, the dynasty's struggle for hegemony has always revolved around interests, just like the previous Tianqiong country was in trouble, and it was invaded by the Donglai Kingdom, the Qiuzi Kingdom and the Beigu Kingdom.
