Chapter 796: Wang Shichong's End Is Coming
In addition, I consider that Chang'an is best to continue as the center of international trade, and Luoyang is better to move closer to the political center.
Because of the smooth flow of the Silk Road, Chang'an is more like a huge market, and countless goods enter and leave the surrounding areas of Chang'an every day. The train is also so busy that it never seems to stop.
And when the capital is moved here, Luoyang can also be built and renovated, which can make this place glow with new vitality and attract more people to pay attention here. Speed up the construction of the Central Plains.
With the ministers of civil and military affairs who came over later, they were already discussing the idea of building and developing the Central Plains. The Central Plains is flat, and the construction of railways and highways will become faster, and Luoyang will become another important transportation hub after Chang'an, which is convenient to connect with Jiangnan and Hebei, Shandong and other regions.
In addition, a large number of reserve officials have arrived in the land of Heluo, and various tasks are being carried out to ensure that the production and life of the local people can survive the first winter after the war.
The entire city of Luoyang is still immersed in a bleak wind and cold rain, or this bleak wind and cold rain is just shrouded in the heads of Wang Shichong and his henchmen, most of the Luoyang soldiers and civilians hope to see the end of the siege, whether they win or lose, they can go out of the city to find a way to live, at least so that they can not starve to death
In fact, as early as Wang Shichong had no choice but to ignore the army's quiet going to the city to get food, the people in the city had long known the sincerity of the Huaxia Empire, at least the grain on the Huaxia Empire's side was not poisonous, and it was all good food, boiled porridge, baked dough, it was so fragrant.
According to Brother Hongji's interrogation, now Wang Shichong is drunk in his palace all day long, and it seems that Wang Shichong's anxious eyes have also seen his end.
And Wang Shiyun and others were also terrified, after waiting for so long, the Chinese Empire Revival Army trapped in Luoyang did not retreat because of the arrival of Dou Jiande's reinforcements, and the Chinese Imperial Military Propaganda Dou Jiande had been defeated and captured, they were also confused and desperate for their future.
Finally, on the seventh day after the end of the Tiger Prison Pass, Yaoguang Meizi and Han Shige led the army back, but only one and a half troops returned, and the remaining soldiers and horses were led by Li Shimin, who continued to march north and east, trying to level the land of Shandong and Hebei during this time.
A team like a winding dragon slowly marched towards Luoyang, and we, have already received the news, and this son is a new leader of hundreds of officials to a high slope in the east of Luoyang to greet him.
At the front of the slowly moving procession, after seeing us on the slope, a group of men and horses came quickly. My mother-in-law, Yaoguang sister, took the lead, high-spirited, or proudly waved her hand at this side, and came first, and the civil and military ministers who came from me hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and greeted Her Royal Highness the queen in unison.
After raising his hand to excuse the ministers, Yaoguang came to my side with a smile, turned over and dismounted, winked at me mischievously, and bowed down. "See Your Majesty, the concubine finally did not fulfill His Majesty's wishes. More than 300,000 Xia troops were defeated by our Huaxia and captured nearly 100,000 enemies, and Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, was already a prisoner in our military camp, and his concubines came to pay the order. ”
I also turned over and jumped off the horse, strode to Yaoguang, held Yaoguang's sister's slender hand tightly and pulled her up, looking at this flower-like face, thinking that the Chinese Empire is now almost unified. I couldn't help laughing out loud, if I have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
And I finally met Dou Jiande, the troubled hero of the late Sui Dynasty. It seems that he has been carefully cared for when he came, and there is no trace of war, and he is wearing a new and luxurious robe, with a dignified appearance and thick eyebrows and big eyes. Maybe it's because of the high position for a long time, and there is a momentum of not being angry and arrogant. However, Dou Jiande's mental condition is relatively poor, and his sluggish and decadent appearance is really difficult for people to associate him with the Xia King who is proud of Hebei ⊥.
He and Yi Yu's high-ranking prisoners of war were not tied, but rode horses, and were slowly approaching Luoyang under the guard of a large number of heavily armed Praetorian cavalry. The bright and new robes, as well as the smooth and shiny horses, seem to highlight the identity of this group of people.
However, no one had a smile on their faces, some were just depressed and depressed, and their complicated eyes looked at the people who greeted us.
I stretched out my hand and rubbed my face, finally making the unstoppable smile on my face a little more serious, thinking about it, and standing still with the appearance of Corporal Lixian, I was also wearing the same military uniform today, of course, because I didn't need to fight, so I didn't wear the heavy plate armor that was so heavy that I was speechless.
It's just a straight and chic tweed uniform. The bright red military uniform, the beautiful golden ribbon, and the golden tasseled helmet on his head make this son even more outstanding.
After Dou Jiande and the others came to the front, they all turned over and dismounted, Dou Jiande was also single, neither entangled in the same place, nor did he have the idea of wanting to pretend to be a martyr, but led the crowd to come to me and salute deeply.
"King Xia, I've been waiting for you for a long time." I raised my hand and looked at Dou Jiande, who was over forty years old and dressed in a brocade robe, and couldn't help but understand. "What does it matter to you that I recruit Wang Shichong and other thieves who are masterminds? I have long heard that Ru and Wang Shichong regard each other as enemies, and a few years ago they attacked each other because of the turf war, and now you went from Hebei to Henan for Wang Shichong, offending the sharpness of my Chinese soldiers."
Dou Jiande glanced back at the subordinates behind him who heard this, with a look of anger and unwillingness, and a little helplessness. He let out a long sigh: "If you don't come by yourself today, I'm afraid you will have to work far away." ”
Hearing this, Ben Gongzi almost laughed, but he forcibly held it back, put on a tall posture, expressed a certain satisfaction with Dou Jiande's arrival, and also appeased them.
In a word, if I descend, I won't have nothing to do with cutting off your heads, and as long as you are really talented, you can still be reused by the court, of course, provided that you are willing to obey the arrangement. Anyway, it was just a brief mention, and then, I took the lead and turned around and headed towards Luoyang City.
At this moment, there was a dead silence on the head of Luoyang City, and Wang Shichong's royal flag was also fluttering weakly, and when we got closer, I could even see Wang Shichong's face that was comparable to the color of food-grade white gypsum.
His gaze was fixed on Dou Jiande not far from me, if his gaze could turn into a substance, the tall and strong Dou Jiande would definitely be poked into a hornet's nest even if he wore Mingguang armor.
Back then, Luoyang City fell into chaos, even if Wang Shichong forcibly ordered the soldiers to keep their mouths shut and not spread the news that Dou Jiande had become a prisoner of war in our Chinese Empire, but he had people like my good buddy Liu Hongji by his side.
It only took one day to know that the hundreds of thousands of troops that Dou Jiande came to aid were defeated by the 150,000 troops of Her Royal Highness the Empress of the Chinese Empire, not only were they defeated, but Dou Jiande and many senior generals of the Xia Kingdom became prisoners of war.
The main and faction that had already shut up because of Wang Shichong's vicious methods jumped out again, and the original main battle faction was now dumbfounded, because they no longer had any capital.
It's like a rich and handsome gambler, who has lost in the casino to the point that only a pair of pants to cover his body are left, but he is still surrounded by a group of loan sharks in a corner, and there is also a lewd and strong man who likes male style called by loan sharks.
The saddest fear in the world is nothing more than this, Wang Shichong completely lost the letter that he was full of hope when he was besieged at the beginning
The gray-headed and earth-faced people below were talking about whether to continue to trap the city and defend it, fall into the city and die, and the fate of the whole clan to die, or bow their heads to the Chinese Empire and surrender themselves, at least, even if they can't escape the fate of death, their families can at least have a chance to live.
The meeting lasted almost all day, until the lights came on, but Wang Shichong still couldn't come up with a practical idea, or the people below were so angry that they were angry, but they were stunned.
However, that night, many ministers had already begun to run around each other, and Wang Shiyun even pulled Liu Hongji to get drunk.
"Zheng Guo is finished." Seeing this information sent out overnight, Ben Gongzi took a sip of fragrant tea and smashed his mouth and smiled. The generals who were bragging and farting in the big tent also laughed, and they smiled with satisfaction.
"Now, even if we don't attack Luoyang, I'm afraid Luoyang City won't be quiet for a few days." Wei Yunqi smacked his mouth vigorously and said.
Yes, now it has become a dead end, either they will die in Luoyang, or they will surrender to our Huaxia Empire, and Wang Shichong, who is already at the end of his rope, has no way to give them anything, so it is strange that these people do not have different intentions.
Maybe Wang Shichong will stay up for a few more days, and then his powerful subordinates will tie him up into a brown man, or stab him with a knife, and then sacrifice Luoyang City in exchange for his own safety.
"Whether Wang Shichong surrenders or not, he must be judged," said Wei Zheng, who had just arrived at Heluo yesterday and arranged for circuit judges in various places
Wei Zheng glanced at everyone present, and his voice was as hard as an iron lump that could not be smashed and chopped. "In the land of Heluo, because of Wang Shichong's actions, I don't know how many people have died in vain, if his crimes are not corrected, the hundreds of thousands of unjust souls who died in the land of Heluo may be blind."
"I have made it clear to the world, whether I live or die, my sins will be made known to the world...... Wei Qing, what about Dou Jiande, the king of Xia? ”
"Dou Jiande governed Hebei and Shandong, benefited the people, and won the people's popularity, although he was the enemy of our Chinese Empire, but he did not lose the hearts of the people. Therefore, the minister thought that Dou Jiande should be properly resettled to appease the hearts of the people and the army in Shandong and Hebei. Wei Zheng frowned and thought for a long time before he replied solemnly.
"Yes, Dou Jiande is different from Wang Shichong, Dou is in Hebei and Shandong, he has made great achievements, benefited the people, and there are many good people" Even Li Sanniang praised this sentence.
I lowered my eyes and thought about it for a while, and then nodded: "As long as Dou Jiande doesn't embarrass me and my Huaxia Empire, naturally I won't embarrass a Dou Jiande who has lost everything." In addition, tell Dou Jiande that if he is willing to help me pacify the land of Shandong and Hebei, I will not treat him and his subordinates in Wenwu. ”
