Chapter 300: Left and right, in the eyes of the people, I am a faint king
In this era, the wisdom of the people has not yet been opened, and the source of information still relies on word of mouth.
Some of the things Xu Mochen has done in the past two years have also touched the interests of some strata.
These people have status among the people.
Under the guidance and dissemination of the intention, it is natural that Xu Mochen's evaluation is full of malice.
Xu Mochen was prepared for this, and he was even a little happy: "The people don't think that I am a Ming Jun, so we can discuss and implement the next plan." ”
As he spoke, he came to the hanging map, and all the people from the council office followed.
"This is the capital, and the location is also close to the ocean," Xu Mochen tapped the map, "The fleets of the Western Exotic Countries, if the target is the capital, they will definitely have to go through the strait and land from here." ”
The coastal landing port near the capital city just forms a half-arc.
"Once the fleet enters, our fleet blocks the retreat in the back, then there is still a chance of total annihilation in a war." Xu Mochen has confidence in the newly established Ningzhou fleet.
The problem is how to let the fleet of the foreign country smoothly enter this semi-arc coast.
"So I decided to travel to Qizhou in my name," Xu Mochen put his hands behind his back, his eyes shining, "I will be accompanied by all the courtiers and my harem."
In addition, the items in the treasury must also be counted and packed, and I will go with me. ”
Mu Nanyi was stunned, and everyone was also stunned.
The emperor is going to ...... Run away?
Faint!
The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?
This time it will not be rectified for everyone, Mu Nanyi trembled her lips: "Your Majesty, what you said is serious."
If you take such a move, not to mention the courtiers, the people must think that you are going to ......
As a result, the capital will shake, and the world may change. ”
"I know," Xu Mochen's tone was still calm, "this is also my purpose.
In the eyes of the people, I am a faint monarch left and right, and it is reasonable to flee first in the face of national disaster.
So what you're talking about, it's going to happen, but it's not going to be too much of a shock.
Although Daqian has just been founded, the soldiers and horses of the Terran race in various places have fought bloody battles with me.
I have faith in them. ”
Back then, during the united war, Xu Mochen was indeed the first soldier.
Putting aside the ten-party world secretly operating behind him, Xu Mochen really formed a lot of affection with the generals and sergeants of the human race.
This is also the reason why in the past two years, he hid in the harem and ignored the government, but there was no turmoil in Daqian.
The middle and low-level military generals and soldiers, they support Xu Mochen.
It is also the confidence that he dares to take extreme actions now.
"I, the emperor, am preparing to evacuate at a critical moment," Xu Mochen smiled, "If the Western Exotic Countries know, guess what kind of action they are most likely to take." ”
The answer is undoubted, they absolutely invested at the minimum cost and captured the capital of Daqian in one go.
So their fleet, not for a long time in the coastal states and counties, but straight to the capital.
After all, in this era, the capital of a dynasty meant the establishment of an imperial power.
The navy of the foreign countries of the West is powerful, and the army is well-armed, and this is above the current big cadres.
But they came from afar, they were not accustomed to the water and soil, and more importantly, the number of their troops was not enough to fully occupy the Great Qianzhong Middle-earth.
And even if they could, the Ten Worlds behind Middle-earth wouldn't allow it.
Therefore, from the very beginning, their goal was very clear, to force the regime of the great cadres to submit as quickly as possible.
Such a simple and direct means is to occupy the capital.
The emperor's decision to retreat was tantamount to giving them the best chance.
"Of course," Xu Mochen thought, he paced slowly, "This is just a plus for the other party, and we have no way to ensure that they will not stay and harass in the coastal states and counties." ”
"Weichen has a proposal," Mu Nanyi stepped forward to make a suggestion, "Since Your Majesty is worried about the harassment of coastal states and counties by Western foreign countries, it is better for us to simply issue a secret decree and let the officials of the relevant states and counties open their ports and prepare for reception."
In this way, at first Wei Chen estimated that the Foreign Congress would stay, but they would soon find that there was not much benefit in staying.
Then their actions will be concentrated here in the capital. ”
"But the General Staff," a member of the Council said, "officials and others can issue secret orders in the name of His Majesty, but if the people do not know about it, I am afraid that it will ......."
"There is always no such thing as the best of both worlds," Xu Mochen sighed, "In the eyes of the people, I am a faint king, so it is not surprising that the faint monarch has some out-of-the-ordinary behavior." ”
The mood of everyone suddenly became heavy, and the emperor even did not hesitate to sacrifice his reputation for the sake of the war situation, which was unimaginable in the era of the supremacy of imperial power.
"I know your worries," Xu Mochen comforted them, "but compared to a protracted war or a long naval battle, we are only a temporary loss.
Besides, I didn't really run away, and when the war is over and we lock the result, the people of Daqian will understand. ”
That being said, the acceptance of the process requires a very strong psychological quality.
"Let's do it like this," Xu Mochen instructed, "I can't rest assured that the others will be in charge, so you will take care of it all."
However, it is necessary to advise the garrisons in various places not to clash with the armies of foreign countries. ”
When he said this, Xu Mochen's eyes were bloodshot.
No hot-blooded young man would allow the army of an enemy country to swagger into the territory of his country, and then not let the army resist.
Not to mention the emperor.
"Your Majesty......"
"This battle is bound to be won," Xu Mochen punched on the table, "During the fleet battle, I personally visited the flagship of the Ningtai and swore to live and die together with the fleet!" ”
The crowd was in awe.
Of course, at this moment, they all forgot that Xu Mochen was an immortal cultivator, and if the fleet was all sunk, he would not die.
But that's what is needed.
The Son of Heaven guards the country, and he does what he says.
After dealing with government affairs, Xu Mochen returned to the harem, and the concubines received the news early.
"The war between the Terrans needs to be resolved by the Terrans themselves," Xu Mochen explained, "I have just discussed with the ministers and have a policy to deal with it. ”
Recently, I was supposed to take a concubine, but in the event of a war, I can't do it on a large scale.
However, the emperor's will has already gone down, so Mi Luo still entered the palace according to the original plan.
Xu Mochen didn't treat her badly either, and made her a concubine.
Mi Luo was a little unhappy: "Duanjun, are you stupid?"
The fleet of such a large number of foreign countries came from thousands of miles away, and there were water demon clans in the sea areas along the way.
How could they have come easily without their acquiescence.
So behind this, there must be immortal cultivators involved. ”
