Chapter 21: Showdown with King Qing
With a large number of heads, rolling to the ground, the bright red blood color dyed the capital red.
The purge in the middle of the court is also gradually coming to an end. A large number of ministers were beheaded, men were made slaves, female dependents were reduced to official prostitutes, and family property was nationalized, most of which fell into the hands of Jia Jingzhong.
There is only one voice in the court, that is Jia Jingzhong's voice, all political affairs are managed by him, and the emperor is happy in the palace except for occasional appearances and decorations.
It seems that the turmoil not long ago has passed, when Qin Yue saw Jia Jingzhong, his wrinkled face smiled as bright as a chrysanthemum, and now Jia Jingzhong can be said to be a real power-leaning government and opposition, with unlimited scenery, and the officials have all been renamed "nine thousand years old".
And the only one who can confront Jia Jingzhong in the court is Qin Yue, the de facto controller of the capital, except for the harem, all the movements in the capital are under his control, and all military power and defense are under his control.
Therefore, there are many officials who are not satisfied with Jia Jingzhong, and they have secretly thrown themselves under Qin Yue's command, preparing to use Qin Yue's big tree to fight Jia Jingzhong in the ring.
It's a pity that they will never know the true relationship between Jia Jingzhong and Qin Yue.
Otherwise, it's not a breath of vomiting blood, it's that simple.
Jia Jingzhong was also uneasy about the power held by Qin Yue at first, but then he thought about it, Qin Yue and himself were grasshoppers on the same rope, and there was no need to harm himself at all, not to mention King Qing's army, which was about to arrive in front of him, and he still needed Qin Yue to lead the army to resist King Qing!
You wouldn't expect a eunuch to command soldiers and horses to march and fight!
Even if there is really something in history, it is only a very small number, and it has only been a few hundred years since one person appeared, a trendsetter of the times, and our father-in-law Jia is not among them.
Qin Yue already had a plan for the future, but he was a little relieved about the only variable in Qinglong.
Once Qinglong has a sabotage plan, it will also be a very troublesome matter.
Now the situation has changed, Qinglong's mission has been terminated, he didn't continue to chase after Yuxi as in the original movie, and he doesn't know where he went, even the intelligence network of Jinyiwei and Hades has not been found, and it is possible that he is living in seclusion with Qiao Hua.
Emotionally speaking, Qin Yue certainly hoped that Qinglong and Qiao Hua would go into seclusion.
However, Qin Yue was not sure what kind of changes had taken place in Qinglong's heart after experiencing these things, and what kind of choice he would make!
If he can not be an enemy, Qin Yue really doesn't want to kill Qinglong, after all, after being together for so many years, he always has feelings, the key is to see if he will appear next, if he appears, there will be a threat, and he must be eliminated.
The people of Jinyiwei are not normal people, they have feelings, but they will not be bound by feelings, it can be said that as long as there is an order, as long as there is a need, anyone can be killed, including brothers who were once like siblings.
Qin Yue is the same now, don't look at him usually looks quite normal, it is just a habitual reaction in the face of various situations in his memory, in fact, deep down, there has already been too much darkness and ferocity suppressed, which is inevitable.
Because, in the past ten years, the world he has come into contact with has been dark and cruel, bloody and cruel, this feeling is not good, Qin Yue needs a happy catharsis.
And the most painful way is to kill women and kill.
Women, whether they are beautiful, graceful, noble, or pure, in terms of Qin Yue's current status and power, it is really called and gone, in Qin Yue's opinion, it is like a soulless puppet, which cannot be stimulated at all, Qin Yue's desire to vent.
Therefore, the war between King and Qing was the path chosen by Qin Yue, and it was also the inevitable result of Qin Yue's arrangement.
This war can not only vent the darkness and ferocity in my heart, but also earn more evil points, why not do it!
Waiting is a very boring thing, only those who can endure the loneliness will really succeed!
Every day, Qin Yue would personally come to the tall city wall to inspect the city defense, and more importantly, look at the far north, sometimes staying for a day.
Even the defenders of the capital sometimes have to admire Qin Yue, who is obviously a high-ranking official who can enjoy everything wantonly, but he gives up his pleasures and stands on this city wall, accompanying his soldiers, sharing weal and woe, wind and sun.
Slowly, this matter spread among the army in the capital.
After learning of Qin Yue's deeds, all the troops in the capital collectively lost their voices.
The commander of the army has achieved this point, how can they, the generals, be lazy, treat the training, no one will complain, and they will be meticulous.
At the same time, the admiration for Qin Yue in the army has also reached its peak.
In the quiet waiting, seven days passed quietly.
King Qing's army finally arrived more than ten miles away from the capital in the evening.
The remnant sun is like blood, and with the last trace of afterglow, Qin Yue, who is standing on the city wall, looks far away.
The mighty army in the distance is imprinted into view.
When the army marched, it was in order, the feathered armor was standing, the flag was waving, the momentum was solemn and awe-inspiring, rolling up endless sand and dust, like an earthy yellow dragon, as if it was stretching to the sky.
"It's really a good iron-blooded division, it seems that King Qing, who has not been in vain outside the Saiwai all these years, has still trained a good army!"
Qin Yue sighed secretly, the army in front of him was strong, but as an opponent, Qin Yue would not feel that he would definitely lose to King Qing.
"Someone, give me an order to mobilize the Shenji Battalion to come, and order him to put all the red-coated cannons on the city wall, this time I want to celebrate the king, there is no return!"
Qin Yue gave an order domineeringly.
For a time, the defenders on the city wall were in a commotion.
Under Qin Yue's dispatch, they were divided into several teams, each with their own tasks, and some collected and carried arrows, rolling wood, oil and other materials for defending the city. Some closed the gate of the capital and landed on the beams, while others went to mobilize, and the Shenji Battalion was dispatched to help transport the red-coated cannons to the city wall and carry the shells.
Just as Qin Yue was standing on the high city wall and observing, suddenly, the army of King Qing in the distance sounded a dull sound of drums!
The drum was so great that it shook the ground like an earthquake.
The clouds of fire floating in the heavens, all of which were scattered by the sound of the drums!
The majestic and majestic sound of the drum rippled between heaven and earth, shaking Qin Yue's ears and buzzing uncomfortably.
In the sound of majestic drums, teams of Jin Ge iron horses rushed out of the army.
This is the real Jin Ge Iron Horse, a team of cavalry, all in iron armor, armed with huge spears! Wearing a scimitar at his waist, the whole person is wrapped in steel, like a torrent of steel.
King Qing's strongest cavalry began to set out and march towards the city!
"It's already evening, are they going to fight at night, but are they going to attack the city with cavalry? Aren't they stupid? In the face of such tall and thick walls and gates, I am afraid it is useless! ”
I don't know when, Suzaku was already standing behind Qin Yue, and when he saw the situation of the army, he couldn't help but say something.
Qin Yue didn't show ease, but was a little dignified, and only waved his hand!
"Suzaku, give me an order, let the Shenji Battalion, hurry up and transport the red-coated cannon to the city wall for me! In addition, he instructed the soldiers to make more torches, so that the oil could be heated, and the arrows should be wound, and the stones should be rolled to see if they were ready. ”
"Yes, I see!" Suzaku quickly conveyed Qin Yue's order, and the empire's huge and hideous war machine began to operate.
A war to decide whether to change the dynasty is about to break out.
