Chapter 46: The Battle of Lijiang (Part II)
A few days later, Chen Zhibing brought a rear admiral over to negotiate, and brought back 10,000 taels of gold for military expenses plus additional guns and ammunition. The land cession agreement had been signed before Qi Shuo left. This thing is limited in terms of binding force on the earth, and if a lawsuit really starts, there are at least dozens of ways to invalidate the agreement. But it's not the same in our hands, it's just a justifiable excuse.
After the three warships of the Shuirou Empire drove over, more than a dozen cannons bombarded the river embankment indiscriminately, and I took this opportunity to let the troop transports send the spearmen across the river, and threw a few grenades at the shore first, and then the spear battalion attacked.
The defeat was like a mountain, more and more soldiers crossed the river, and the strength of the enemy had already outnumbered the opponent, and the enemy was killed and wounded in the bombing and shooting, and the enemy was unable to organize an effective counterattack for a while.
Seeing that the overall situation was certain, Nan Batian led his guards to personally step forward to block the pursuing soldiers and shouted: "Your Highness, you go first, go to Nanzhi Country, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of running out of firewood." subordinates..."
Before he finished speaking, a bullet passed through the center of his eyebrows, and Nan Batian fell to the ground with a bang. It was I who suddenly had itchy hands, took a sniper rifle and aimed at him, the marksmanship is good, the feeling back then is still there, Nan Batian was hit by me with a shot, this sniper rifle was just taken from Chen Zhibing.
The henchman will be killed, and Yingshuo's eyes are split: "Batian, Batian, you come back!" ”
Several guards hugged Yingshuo forward, and disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye.
There is a Wangfu Slope outside the Lido City, it is said that the first beauty of Lido Ye Zi often waited here for her husband to come back, and later Ye Zi's husband died in the sea, Ye Zi committed suicide here, so Wangfu Po got its name.
The fourth prince Yingshuo came in a panic, but someone in Wangfupo blocked the way, and Huo Wu took the followers of the Moon God Sect to wait here for a long time, and Shi Canghai, the master of the Lidu Xuanwu Altar, stood on one side.
Seeing the four princes, Shi Canghai smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness Yingshuo, don't come to harm?" ”
Ying Shuo sighed gloomily: "I didn't expect that Qi Shuo had already received the support of the Moon God Sect, but it's a pity that Lone didn't know anything, and Lone lost unjustly!" ”
Huo Wu gave an order, and the guards around Yingshuo fell down one after another. Ying Li's face was full of tears: "Brothers, the lonely king has no face to see Nanjiang's fathers and elders again, so let's accompany my brothers on the road today!" After saying that, he took out a short sword and stabbed it into his chest, smiled and closed his eyes. (The Nanjiang River is a river on the border between Nanzhi and Huoyanguo, and I think it would be more appropriate to call it Nanhe, but the locals call it Nanjiang.) WINSHUO has been operating here for many years and has a good reputation in the local area. )
Yingshuo's body was brought back to Yandu, and Qishuo cried bitterly: "Fourth brother, why can't you think about it so much?" The lonely king just asked his subordinates to bring you back, and in the future, you will enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime, you shouldn't kill yourself and regret it for life! Whining! "It is really the tears of those who see it, and the sadness of those who hear it!
I feel a pang of contempt in my heart, can you fake it any more? are all rivals, and they can still cry so sadly, this drama can be played with an Oscar.
On June 6, Prince Qishuo officially ascended the throne and was called Emperor Rende. Zhan Liang was awarded the title of Shangshu of the Military Department of the Left Prime Minister, I was named the national teacher, and the Moon God Sect was also named the state religion. Long Feng was named a general and was in charge of the southern soldiers and horses. Well, by accident I became a national teacher of the Three Kingdoms. The new emperor succeeded to the throne, the whole country celebrated, Emperor Rende followed the example of the Shuirou Empire to give a general amnesty to the world, and exempted the south from taxes for a year, this time it was troublesome, the huge wealth collected was squandered, the taxes below were a dime, and the treasury was out of money.
On the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Rende patted the dragon chair: "Talk about it, talk about it, how to get money for me?" Lord Hubu Shangshuzuo, this is your duty, you are in charge of the country's money bag, you hurry up and find a way! ”
Zuo Yingyuan looked panicked: "Your Majesty, Weichen has just taken office, and he is not very familiar with the affairs of the household department, the treasury has been counted, and there are still three thousand taels left." The expenditure of this treasury is the responsibility of Lord Zhan Liang and signed by His Majesty. ”
The emperor was angry: "Three thousand taels? You can't send your money, Zhan Liang, tell me, I remember how gold, silver and jewelry are worth more than a million taels, right? ”
Zhan Liang hurriedly came out: "Your Majesty, this procurement of arms and mercenary reinforcements cost 400,000 taels, the reward for the three armies spent 300,000 taels, the distribution of military rings and officials spent 500,000 taels, the various expenses for His Majesty's enthronement celebration were 200,000 taels, and other scattered expenses such as tinkering were about 200,000 taels, and the total expenditure was about 1.6 million taels. ”
