There was no shortage of news in the media in the capital, and almost every day there were all kinds of latest news coming back from all over the world, and in many cases, the news of the major newspapers came even faster and more accurate than the official intelligence channels of the empire, which indeed depended on the "Freedom of the Press Law" and the "Press Censorship Regulations" promulgated by the second emperor Situ Wuregret when the empire was first established.

It was these two laws that laid the foundation for the flourishing of the Imperial Press, and with these two laws as a basis, the right to freedom of expression was enjoyed as long as it was not directed against the Emperor himself and as long as it did not pose a threat to the security of the Empire. Of course, the interpretation of the article that poses a threat to the security of the empire seems to be a little vague in the words of legal scholars, and it is easy to be abused by the press and publication prosecutor's office, but it has been proved that for more than 300 years and nearly 400 years, the imperial press and publication prosecutor's office has been controlled by the enlightened aristocracy, even though the conservative aristocracy is no longer dissatisfied, but the press and press prosecutor's office has not been influenced by the conservative aristocracy, and some politicians have analyzed that this is one of the most effective means for His Majesty the Emperor of the past to suppress the conservative aristocracy and maintain the balance of power within the empire。

During this period, the media in Beijing seemed to be busier, and many mainstream newspapers and periodicals published supplements to introduce news from all sides in detail to meet the needs of the people of Yanjing and the empire.

The old man standing by the lakeside pavilion was browsing the latest "Imperial News" while browsing the topics he was interested in, wearing an old style but absolutely high-quality Tang-style gown, which was enough to prove that the old man's identity was different from ordinary people.

"He Lao, you seem to have something on your mind?" A middle-aged man next to him asked casually while smiling and beckoning Dr. Tea to fill the tea that had just been distributed.

"What can the old man have on his mind? If he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government, now is the time for the old man to enjoy his happiness, but when he opened his eyes, he saw this news of all kinds of things, and he was a little emotional. The old man's lean face looked a little confused and mixed with a hint of sadness, as if he recalled the old things.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man also has a brocade robe and jade belt, and his gestures are even more extravagant, at first glance, he is an official eunuch, he looked at the newspaper headlines in the other party's hand, and said casually: "What?

"It's hard to say, but with the heart and surname of His Royal Highness King Qin, in Nanjieluo, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as a drill, right?"

"Hehe, this kid Li Wufeng has never been idle, who else will there be on Nanjieluo's side besides targeting the Kamans? Didn't the Kamans start a bloody battle with Li Wufeng's Western Frontier Army in Pinglu not long ago? I heard that the battle was fought in the dark, and in the end, Li Wufeng lost the upper hand and was forced to withdraw from Pinglu before it was over, it seems that this time Li Wufeng wanted to take revenge. The fair-skinned middle-aged man smiled and said, "That's fine, Li Wufeng can teach the Kaman people a lesson, so that the Kaman people don't become too arrogant and presumptuous." ”

There are not many people who can call Li Wufeng a kid, even in Yanjing, if someone stands aside and hears it, I'm afraid that someone will immediately look sideways at each other to see who dares to call His Royal Highness King Qin a kid so boldly and presumptuously.

"Your Royal Highness, the battle of Pinglu is not like those media say that His Royal Highness the King of Qin lost and withdrew from Pinglu, if that battle is fair, that battle should be regarded as a draw, from the perspective of the respective intentions of both sides, both sides should have achieved their respective goals, and it cannot be said who wins and who loses. Shaking his head slowly, the old man obviously did not agree with the prevailing statement.

"Oh?" the white-faced man raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What do you say?"

"The intention of the Kaman people is to occupy Pinglu and ensure that Qinghe is not in danger of being exposed to the enemy, from this strategic purpose, the purpose of the Kaman people has indeed been achieved, and the elite of the Kaman led by Nick is indeed powerful, even if it is the main force of the Northwest Army of His Royal Highness King Qin, it has to avoid its sharpness. The lean old man seemed to be pondering the strategic intentions of both sides.

"Then Li Wufeng was obviously defeated in Pinglu, and a prefecture and county that he had just won from the Taiping Rebellion Party was handed over to the Kamans, and he also achieved his goal, where does this start?" the white-faced rich man was even more puzzled.

"Your Highness, many times you can't judge success or failure by the gains and losses of one city or one place. The Kaman army has always been strong, whether it is cavalry or infantry, it always has the upper hand in our Emperor [***] team, to be honest, it turns out that the only ones in the Emperor [***] team can fight with the Kaman army are probably the first and second legions of His Highness, and the other even Yusuf's city guard corps is slightly inferior. This kind of psychology has been pressed on all sides of the empire, and the army of His Royal Highness King Qin has never had the experience of confronting the Kamans head-on, although there have been several battles in North Terok, but they are all carried out in an unequal situation, and it is difficult to show the true strength of the two sides. However, this time the battle of Pinglu put the two sides in a relatively fair environment, the Kaman people had the advantage of strength, and His Royal Highness King Qin had the advantage of defense, which could be described as evenly matched, so that the combat power of their respective armies and the talents of their generals could be fully demonstrated. ”

Seeing that the more the other party listened, the more interested he became, the old man who didn't want to talk about these topics couldn't help but open the conversation, and he was embarrassed to accept it at this time.

"The specific situation of this battle doesn't need to be talked about anymore, but although the final result ended with His Royal Highness the King of Qin withdrawing from Pinglu, does His Highness know how much the Kaman people have paid? More than 70,000 people, this is the most elite army of the Kaman people, there is more than a whole legion, even if the loss of the Western Xinjiang Army under His Royal Highness King Qin is not small, but this battle has erected the prestige of the Western Xinjiang Army, in the face of a strong enemy, dare to show the sword to fight, and can fight with the Kaman elite led by Nick without falling behind in the case of equal strength, which is enough to make the Western Xinjiang Army proud, which also lays a good psychological foundation for all the Western Xinjiang Army to break the myth of Kaman's invincibility, so that in the future, any Western Xinjiang Army can stand firm confidence in the face of the Kaman people, the Kaman people are just like this, our Western Xinjiang Army can also defeat them。 The establishment of this psychological advantage is enough to greatly increase the combat power of His Royal Highness King Qin's army to a higher level. This is the harvest of Western Xinjiang and the purpose of His Royal Highness King Qin. ”

"If His Royal Highness the King of Qin evacuated Pinglu to avoid a war in view of the strength of the Kaman people at that time, it will inevitably leave a psychological shadow in the minds of the Western Xinjiang Army that we cannot defeat the Kamans, and the harm caused by this psychology is unimaginable, and His Royal Highness may not be able to experience this without leading troops. The lean old man finally concluded.

"Wonderful, He Lao's analysis is really wonderful, although my Situ Mingda doesn't understand military affairs, but he also knows that this military heart problem is extremely important, if the army's heart is unstable, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. The white-faced rich man smiled and clapped his hands. Situ Mingda, the former Duke of Anle, when the new emperor succeeded to the throne, in order to win the hearts of the people, he made several of his uncles kings, and Duke Anle naturally became the king of Anle, but these kings are just happy princes who have no fief and no authority.

His Royal Highness smiled, but His Royal Highness King Qin does have a unique vision in military affairs, and his thinking is quite different from others, if he is a generation of military wizards in the four hundred years since the founding of the empire, it is not an exaggeration to think that he is old. The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's just that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is too reckless, he has fought countless battles in the western expedition and southern expedition this year, and he is thinking about fighting with the Kamans at this time, and I don't know if His Royal Highness the King of Qin is surnamed this or the generals under his command feel uncomfortable when they are idle, and they feel uncomfortable without fighting." ”

Hearing the other party's half-joking ridicule, Situ Mingda also smiled and said: "If he really competes with the Kamans in this battle, it will also be beneficial to our empire, at least Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the Kamans at night to Yanjing City." ”

"Fight under Yanjing City? I'm afraid that the Kaman people will not be able to have this mind until next summer, even if His Royal Highness the King of Qin does not fight this battle, it is unlikely that the Kaman people will launch an offensive again. The lean old man shook his head and disagreed with the other party.

"Oh, why is He Lao so sure?" Situ Mingda was a little puzzled at the same time with joy in his heart.

"Your Highness, you can see the performance of the Kamans between the three prefectures of Yulin, Qinghe and Pinglu and the two prefectures of Longquan in Montenegro. The lean old man smiled and took a sip of the tea cup at the right temperature, the fragrance of the tea flowed comfortably between his mouth, and it was indescribably refreshing.

"Performance, what performance?" Situ Mingming, who didn't pay much attention to these news, obviously didn't understand the meaning of this.

"Your Highness, the Kamans seized the three prefectures of Yulin, Qinghe, Pinglu, and made every effort to appease the localities, and even co-opted the gentry from all over the country to calm the hearts of the people, no matter what, these methods of the Kamans also played some role, but what about the two prefectures of Longquan in Montenegro? In the early days, the Kaman people did not feel the huge impact of the drought that spread to the entire Eastern Continent, so the purpose of occupying the three prefectures of Yulin, Qinghe, Pinglu, and Yulin was still to imitate the rule of the Northern Terokk to control the land population, and later noticed the great change in the situation, the food problem has affected the entire course of the war, and they can't eat it and maintain their rule in Longquan, which is not at all, so the surname Suo came to exchange land for food, give up control, and seize civilian food, and it is really impossible to leave. The old man asserted that as soon as His Royal Highness the King of Qin made a move in Nanjieluo, the Kaman people would inevitably abandon Heshuo and return to Shiqinghe and Yulin. ”
