The capital of the Great Shang Kingdom is outside the Song City, in the eastern suburbs, and in the military camp and school field.

It was late autumn, the leaves withered, swirling and falling from time to time, and the autumn wind struck, rolling up the dead leaves all over the sky, and sprinkled all over the sky.

This day the king did not discuss government affairs with his ministers in the palace as before, but came to this military camp early and climbed the five-zhang high earth platform in front of him.

Standing behind him were Taishi Wen Zhong, Wucheng Wang Huang Feihu, Prime Minister Shang Rong and other important ministers of the country. Zi Xin looked at the black oppression under the high earth platform, and the 100,000 great merchant soldiers lined up in a very neat phalanx, and the armor on their bodies reflected a dazzling brilliance under the autumn light.

This is the elite soldiers trained by the king of the East in the past few years, looking at the energetic and murderous soldiers, the king is full of hope for the Eastern Crusade.

The reason why such a pledge meeting is held in this Dongying today is that the king also has his own considerations. First of all, it is to be able to boost the morale of these soldiers under him, after all, the Great Shang Forbidden Army has not had a foreign war for many years, and the friction within the Great Shang is even rarer.

If this war goes smoothly, it can be said that it will be the largest foreign war in decades or centuries. Moreover, it was also the first war since King Su ascended the throne, and it was also a battle in which he completely established his prestige, so he couldn't be careless.

And the most important point is that Li Jing, now the king himself actually doesn't know what kind of mentality it is, and he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to send this Li Jing to that Chentang Pass.

Over the years, Li Jing has been doing a lot of things in Chentangguan, and of course it is impossible for the king to have no news at all. On the contrary, Chaoge has always paid special attention to Li Jing's ability to vigorously develop the economy in Chentangguan, which King Xuan did not expect.

In this regard, the king did not say that he was against it, but he was happy to see it, because the tax of Chentangguan was not ambiguous at all. In the final analysis, it is also human nature, and it is a kind of jealousy of the king to his courtiers. I didn't expect this Li Jing to be so versatile, and Wen Tao and Wu are so proficient. However, as an emperor, although he is a little uncomfortable, he still has this endurance, and Li Jing is still his brother-in-law, and he will be a fairy in the future.

The main thing he was worried about was that this Li Jing seemed to be too close to the Dongyi clan. Not only did he not shy away from conducting various trades with the Dongyi people, but he even built a separate city to accommodate the Dongyi people. And those Dongyi people also seemed to be very convinced of Li Jing and were willing to accept Li Jing's leadership, and the king heard that most of the troops currently stationed at Chentang Pass were Dongyi people.

Of course, the king is not worried that Li Jing's growing strength will pose a threat to the big businessmen. He knew this very well, Li Jing did not have this mind. If it weren't for the fact that it was in Dongyi, if it weren't for the fact that he had a set of plans to be able to make them surrender to the Great Shang without going through war, of course King Su was willing to accept it. What is a thousand-year-old grudge, what betrays the Emperor of Heaven, you can completely stand aside in the face of practical interests.

However, Dongyi was too important to the overall plan of the Emperor of Kyushu, and it was the key to his ability to completely unify the eastern part of Kyushu.

By waging a war against Dongyi, the king could achieve his goal of weakening the Eastern Bohou and the Beihai princes. When the time comes, Donglu will send people, and the princes of Beihai will send grain, and the king will drag out the war a little longer. After the end of the battle, Dongyi, Donglu, and Beihai must be greatly injured, and the king will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It is impossible for the king to give up such a perfect plan, so holding a pledge meeting here is to make the whole country known, and use such a general trend to force Li Jing to cooperate with him. After all, as the son of heaven of a country, you have no jokes, and Li Jing will never choose to resist the decree and disrespect. Because in that case, he would be able to receive Li Jing's military power into his own hands logically, of course, Li Jing still had a choice, that is, to choose to rebel, but the king knew that Li Jing would never do so.

"Two thousand years ago, the traitor Dayi turned his back on the Emperor of Heaven and shot the sun to kill the Lord. Now his descendants are still living in peace on this desolate land, as the direct descendants of the Emperor of Heaven, the Dashang family, and the despicable Dongyi clan have a common hatred. In the past 800 years since the founding of the Great Shang Dynasty, the Dongyi people have also repeatedly violated the border, killed our Great Shang people, plundered the property of our people, and even destroyed human nature and committed monstrous crimes. It can be seen that the nature of the descendants of this traitor has not changed much, and they are still cruel and tyrannical, and they do not know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are.

Since his accession to the throne, this king has not dared to slack off in the slightest, so that the strength of the Great Shang country has increased day by day, the four seas have been peaceful, and the people have been happy. But the Dongyi people are not eliminated for a day, and the king is difficult to sleep and eat for a day. Although I know that the war will bring a lot of pain to my people of Dashang, but for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of Dashang, and for the peace of Dashang's eastern frontier forever, this king has to react against this war.

You are all the elite divisions of my Great Shang, and this battle is the king's decision to drive the expedition in person and completely wipe out Nadongyi. I hope that you and I can work together to make the battle go smoothly and achieve the set goals. This king can expand his territory, and you and others can also make achievements. ”

After the king launched this war mobilization, the scene on the school field was very spectacular. The applause was thunderous, and the shouts and cheers were endless.

Especially when they heard the king say that he would also be on the expedition in person, those young warriors could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts, and spontaneously shouted neatly and enthusiastically, "Long live Your Majesty, the Great Shang Forbidden Army will win." and so on, and it quickly spread to the others, and finally all the ordinary soldiers and the more advanced military generals joined in the shouts.

Looking at the soldiers in front of him whose morale had been completely aroused, the king nodded. At the same time, when I saw the people who were standing not far from the barracks not far away, the people of Chaoge City who came curiously were even more satisfied.

Under normal circumstances, if there is any military action, of course, it must be carried out in secret, and it is impossible for the people to be able to watch this oath scene. But this time it's different, the king is going to make the city full of wind and rain, and the world knows it.

In addition to being able to allow Li Jing to cooperate with himself smoothly, there is no other selfishness. It is hoped that the Dongyi people can get the news of their Eastern Crusade as soon as possible, and prepare as soon as possible, and the more fully prepared, the better.

Because the longer this war can drag on, the more resources and personnel both sides invest, and the more perfect their plans to consume other princes can be.
