Chapter 491: Rebellion is only for the Nine Clans (21) [Two in one]
At the same time, the daughter country had already known the trajectory of Emperor Xuanwu's actions, but it was not until this time that Emperor Xuanwu officially issued an order and held a meeting.
Emperor Xuanwu sent spies to his daughter's country.
Qu Jie naturally couldn't have no countermeasures.
And the secret agent she sent to Daqian is enough to rely on high-precision instruments to monitor what Emperor Xuanwu is doing at all times, and pass the latest news back in real time.
Hence the time for an emergency meeting.
In the real-time picture projected by Qu Jie, Emperor Xuanwu's pre-war declaration was not over, and the ministers sat down and watched for a while before Qu Jie turned off the projection:
"You should all know the specifics."
"Although with our current strength, we don't have to worry about them coming, and we can definitely destroy as many as we come, but those soldiers are all the same ancestor as us after all, and some of them may be inextricably linked with some of us here or some of the people in our country, or relatives within five suits.
So, my thoughts are.
If this battle can be fought, it will not be fought."
Speaking of which, Qu Jie had already seen that the ministers on the side were eager to refute it, but she did have her own ideas, so she directly reached out and pressed down to signal:
"Don't worry, listen to me first.
After all these years of getting along, you should know that I have special abilities, or you can also think that I have the help of other forces, do you think that if I have the ability to directly destroy the imperial tombs in the capital, or destroy the imperial palace, or destroy some nobles, the area where the clan is located, can it form a military deterrent.
Avoid this war.
At the same time, it does not affect our deterrence.
After all, we are all the same ancestor, and if we can have fewer casualties, of course it would be better to have less."
Although Qu Jie is not short of population now, but it is only not a shortage of population use, it does not mean that there is no shortage of the main population of the country, if she cannot guarantee the main population of the daughter country in the future, that is, the number of people who belong to the same origin as them occupy an absolute advantage, then it is very likely that there will be various problems, at least the country is turbulent, and at worst, the country's dominant right is taken away by foreign races.
So Qu Jie just postponed the introduction of population.
It does not mean that it will not be introduced in the future.
After all, the reason why today's daughter country only has more than 5 million square kilometers of land is not because Qu Jie's strength is not strong enough and his ambition is not big, but because he really does not have so many people and controls more and larger land.
Now there are two or three hundred thousand fewer deaths.
How many more people will be born in a few decades?
Today, the combined global population is estimated to be less than 300 million, and Qu Jie still has very complete technology in her hands, in the next few decades or even nearly a hundred years, she only has to worry about not having enough people, not saying that there are too many people.
The problem of too much population can only be considered by her granddaughter in her later years, or the next generation of empresses.
These factors all directly lead to Qujie.
He did not want to see a large number of people killed or injured in Qianguo.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty the Empress, although you have left the Great Qian Kingdom and created your own daughter country, but after all, you are also a member of the Great Qian Imperial Family, is it a little inappropriate and unfilial to directly destroy the Imperial Tomb Temple?"
Even if they have established a country overseas, some ideas and moral concepts have not been completely abandoned, so naturally there will be ministers at this time, who hurriedly stand up and admonish.
The emperor's mausoleum includes the mausoleum of the Qiankun Emperor, and the temple also enshrines the Qiankun Emperor, and Qu Jie is the daughter of the Qiankun Emperor.
But Qu Jie really doesn't care, and she just said that she wanted to destroy the emperor's mausoleum, but she didn't say that she would destroy her father's mausoleum:
"You guys are thinking too much, I didn't say that I was going to blow up my father's imperial tomb, isn't there also my eldest nephew's imperial tomb, and my brother's imperial tomb, and the earliest Qiankun Emperor in the Taimiao
I brought back all the tablets, and now I enshrine them and they were re-carved later, so they don't count.
My brother and he even cut down his nephew directly, and his brothers and sisters were not killed, so what does it matter if I dig up his grave.
And I'm not here to kill fewer people?
The Imperial Tomb and the Taimiao are the least crowded.
If we destroy the Imperial Palace, or destroy the area where the noble clans are located, how many people will have to die, our main purpose is deterrence, not how many people will be killed, so of course, the fewer people who will die, the better!"
Well, in this way, it sounds really a little crooked, but out of consideration that destroying people's graves is indeed a bit excessive, so Baiguan still continued to persuade Qu Jie, and finally persuaded Qu Jie to set the final destruction target as Taimiao, if Taimiao was destroyed, Emperor Xuanwu was still disobedient, and then went to destroy his father's and grandfather's grave.
Other places, like royal palaces and the like.
It's postponed.
It's really not good, then it may only be possible to destroy all the *** in the entire capital, all the ones who can be commanded, after all, they are all dead, less than 10,000 people, how can they be better than 300,000 troops going out on the expedition and being wiped out.
There were fewer deaths.
As the plan was finalized, Qu Jiedang sent an airship carrying several missiles to the capital, and arrived in the capital two days later, using a loudspeaker to shout below, saying that their daughter country loves peace and does not want any large-scale conflict, causing a large number of casualties, and hopes that Emperor Xuanwu can be restrained, immediately withdraw the holy decree of war, and apologize for his crimes.
Otherwise, they will have to take steps to warn.
Don't be preemptive.
And Emperor Xuanwu's side, although he was a little afraid of the thing flying in the sky and the sound of the loudspeaker, but the emperor said that he had not started the war yet, so he would let him admit defeat and defeat, did he not want to lose face, so of course he ignored it at all, and hurriedly transferred the entire Beijing camp to the palace guards, and at the same time tried to use weapons such as crossbows with the longest range, wanting to shoot down the thing flying in the sky, in order to show martial virtue.
As for the effect, of course, it is useless.
This is not a drama of the Anti-Japanese War, just throw a bun and a stone can smash the plane down, and the range of the crossbow is only 500 meters, where can you shoot the airship down.
Twenty-four hours later, the horn on the airship sounded again, repeating that their daughter country was peace-loving, and it was only because Emperor Xuanwu was too stubborn that he had to make some countermeasures, and then threw a missile at the Taimiao.
Half a minute later, a mushroom cloud was born.
The temple was completely reduced to ruins.
Fortunately, most of the guards of the forbidden army are guarding important places such as Qianqing Palace and Zichen Palace, and there are basically no people in the Taimiao except for a few eunuchs guarding outside, so there are very few casualties overall.
Immediately after, of course, Emperor Xuanwu, who understood what was going on, was surprised and panicked and collapsed, and the officials who knew what was going on were equally angry and surprised, and then panicked to the point of collapse, some of them hurriedly sent their families outside the city, and some of them went into the palace to discuss.
Of course, there are also those who are directly scared to run away.
It was the first time they had ever seen an air raid to encounter an air raid, and they had received such a unique gift, a gift that crossed the ages, and it was difficult to calm down.
When Emperor Xuanwu and the others held an interim court meeting to discuss what to do, the airship continued to shout through a loudspeaker, saying that they would wait for another day and a night, and if they did not do what they said within a day and night, then they would destroy the imperial tomb and even the imperial court.
At the same time, he also gave a speech on the essence of war to the people of the whole capital, explaining in detail that the core of war lies in the desire for profit of the ruling class, and the profits of success or failure are basically owned by the ruling class.
Ordinary people have only losses.
It is because they understand the nature of the war and do not want to see the common people who belong to the same ancestor suffer too much damage, so they will adopt the current tactic, that is, as long as the ruling class compromises or destroys the ruling class, the war will not be triggered.
Later, the people were encouraged to take refuge outside the city. ap.
lest you turn around and be injured by mistake.
The most outrageous thing is that they also destroyed the city wall of the capital immediately afterwards, and the name is that the current city gate is too small, and it is inconvenient for the people to evacuate in time.
In this way, there were still some entanglements about whether to run, and because the city gate was locked, those who couldn't run if they wanted to run were of course in a hurry, especially outsiders, who ran to their hometowns when they left the city.
I'm afraid that if I go slowly, I will be affected.
There are assets in the city, and there is a little bit of reluctance, but most of them still think that their lives are more important, and only a few think that people can die, and money must not be lost, and they insist on guarding their own family business.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can only be blessed.
Even some noble officials are at least secretly sending their fathers, daughters-in-law, and children outside, of course, they have some reason, such as going to Zhuangzi outside the city, or going back to their hometown to go to the grave or something.
This is the appearance of all beings in the city.
It's even worse in the palace of the government, the quarrel is inextricable, and the ministers are really-for-tat.
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be compromised, if you compromise on this, where is my face, where is your face, Your Majesty, His Majesty Taizong swept all directions, and all countries came to the court, less than ten years ago, if you compromise with a small country, what face will you have to see Taizong after your death!"
"What you say is nice and uncompromising, what if this thing is thrown into the palace, you are disregarding Your Majesty's life and only caring about your own name."
"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that you should first make peace with this thing in the daughter country, buy a little time, and then privately withdraw quickly, withdraw to a relatively safe place, where they can't find it, and at the same time order 300,000 sailors to set off quickly and go straight to Huanglong.
I don't believe that when the time comes, the soldiers will come to the city of my daughter's country.
The things flying in the sky can't go back!"
"But...... But what if they didn't listen to the persuasion at all, and just threw down a lot of the things they had just thrown down, and then the capital would not be completely destroyed.
Also, what if the Emperor's Tomb is destroyed!"
"Probably not, isn't the lord of the daughter country Princess Jiahe, she...... Is it so unfilial?"
"The Taimiao Temple has been destroyed, how can the Emperor's Tomb be stronger than the Taimiao, to put it mildly, there is still the tablet of the Emperor Qiankun in the Taimiao, she dares to destroy it, not to mention the Emperor's Tomb, and she doesn't necessarily have to destroy the Emperor's Mausoleum, she can completely destroy the Emperor's Mausoleum of Taizong or the Emperor, then there is no concern about unfilial piety!"
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't think there's too much to worry about, let's put ourselves in our shoes, if we have a lot of weapons like that just now, will we be so politely threatened, isn't it good to destroy the other party directly?
Therefore, Chen boldly guessed that the number of weapons just now is very small, and it can only be used for deterrence, and cannot be used as a normal weapon for regular use, as long as we can avoid the first few waves, we will no longer have to worry about the threat in the future, so the most important thing now is that you have to hide first, and we have to find a way to hide and avoid the attack."
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!"
"We can disperse and leave, it is best to find a few more people to pretend that Your Majesty is withdrawing from the capital, and Your Majesty can use the part of the underground passage that Princess Jiahe dug at the beginning and has not yet filled in to secretly evacuate the capital.
That's how you can be absolutely safe."
"But if the emperor's tomb is destroyed......
"Even if the emperor's tomb is destroyed, it is the fault of the daughter country, and the big deal is to break the daughter country when the time comes, and use the head of the daughter country lord to sacrifice the Taimiao and the emperor's tomb to ask for guilt."
"Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer!"
"Now we have no choice but to withdraw that thing from heaven first, !!Your Majesty."
"Please also ask Your Majesty to move."
I have to say that their brain circuits are really completely different from Qu Jie, and they really don't believe Qu Jie's so-called peace-loving remarks, and it is estimated that they still think that Qu Jie's hope to reduce casualties is nonsense and lies to confuse the public.
But the conscience of heaven and earth, she really thinks so.
But these people don't believe it, it's really a vain!
Qu Jie, who used the monitoring equipment to clearly see and hear the discussion of the ministers in the palace of the court, and the ministers of the daughter country, looked at each other with real faces, speechless, and it took a long time before someone asked, whether to attack immediately now, and simply destroy them together.
However, Qu Jie thought about it and didn't adopt it.
Just started the voice function of the monitoring device:
"Ahem, nephew, you should be able to hear me talking now, after all, my voice is quite loud, I want to tell you, what you just discussed, I heard it clearly, clearly, and even now I can see the surprised expression on your face, you have been under my surveillance.
What you are doing, what you are saying, what you are doing, I can see it clearly, and I can hear it clearly, so ah, don't resist uselessly, I don't want to kill you, isn't it good for you to be honest and obedient, stop tossing around all day long!"
Needless to say, this suddenness, like a sound from the void, directly scared the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and Emperor Xuanwu himself, and some of the timid ones were even directly paralyzed, with a sense of hellish horror.
