Chapter 543; Paralysis

Victory is right in front of us, so it is inevitable that we will be a little anxious, but what happens this time will be directly related to the future situation of Dongzhou.

If it drags on for a long time, he is also worried that Northern Chu and Southern Xinjiang will take action. By then, the domestic situation will not be stable yet, and he will have to face a pair of tigers and wolves.

He really doesn't have much confidence that he can stabilize Dongzhou's situation.

"Your Majesty, there are some things that you should not be anxious about. Lord Zhenguo is a cancer in Dongzhou. Now that we can get rid of it painlessly, why should we let ourselves get hurt as well?"

"As for Beichu, they have been fighting for so many years. When Dongzhou was founded, they couldn't make any further progress. How can it be better now than when Dongzhou was founded?"

Lu Yaoyao was not disappointed with Emperor Hongwen's eagerness. On the contrary, he understood it very well.

After being oppressed for so many years, getting rid of Duke Zhen has almost become an obsession in Emperor Hongwen's heart, or a demon in his heart.

Now that we have the opportunity to completely eliminate our obsessions and inner demons, it's normal to be a little anxious.

"Well, you are right, I am a little anxious."

"It's just that the order has been issued. Is there any way to remedy it from King Jin?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded and handed the letter sent back by King Jin to Wang De.

Wang De immediately handed it to Emperor Hongwen with both hands respectfully.

After Emperor Hongwen finished reading, he pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "King Jin's method is very good. I will issue another order now and follow his example."

Afterwards, he issued successive orders to send 50,000 soldiers to Beiluo City in accordance with the request of the Zhenguo Duke. However, he did not go to Beiluo City.

The soldiers who were dispatched in private were marched in secret, under the direct control of the King of Jin, to prevent the Duke of Zhen from cooperating with Bei Chu and leaving the North without a barrier.

At the same time, they also secretly asked people to evacuate some Dongzhou people in the North.

Be prepared for war at any time.

A few days later, 50,000 troops arrived in the North. The first thing they did was not to report to Beiluo City, but to start evacuating the residents of the North with the emperor's imperial decree.

When the Duke of Zhen heard the news, he frowned.

"As an emperor, we still like acting so much. Have you heard the rumors outside?"

"It is said again that the emperor loves his people as his sons."

Hearing this, Duke Zhen Guo looked up at him and said calmly, "Do you think he is acting?"

"Isn't it?"

Duke Zhen Guo shook his head and said, "Not entirely. Bei Chu and Dongzhou have been feuding for so many years. Now that Bei Chu has taken action, he must be on guard."

"Once a war breaks out with Beichu, I'm afraid most places in the entire Northern Territory will become battlefields. It doesn't matter if we make arrangements in advance."

"But the unmanned troops haven't come to Beiluo City yet, which makes me feel a little unsure."

Logically speaking, when the support sent by the emperor arrives at the place, it must first report to the general, and then there will be an imperial edict or other tasks to explain that a decision is being made.

Why is it that someone is here now? Instead of coming to him first, he starts to perform his mission instead.

"Perhaps it's because Beichu is approaching fiercely ahead and we don't want to waste time."

"Besides, they have all arrived in the North, and the Duke of Guo doesn't want them to leave. How can he still escape?"

Duke Zhen Guo nodded. The reason why he did not move was because he was confident that the Northland was his territory.

Not to mention a mere 50,000 troops, even if there were twice as many, he could capture them all.

He has 300,000 people. Although some of them will be restrained, it is not difficult to deal with these 50,000 people.

Of course, in addition to self-confidence, the main reason was that although the 50,000 people did not come to report this time, someone came to him with a letter from Emperor Hongwen and some military pay.

The general meaning of the letter is that we should solve the internal strife ourselves, and now we should always deal with the outside world. The land of Dongzhou must not fall into the hands of the North.

If Emperor Hongwen was just pretending, he might still be suspicious, but Emperor Hongwen wrote this letter very directly and did not shy away from the fight between the two.

Coupled with the enmity relationship between Shang Bei Chu and Dong Zhou, I didn't want to support him, but I still gave him support. The purpose was to be consistent with the outside world.

Duke Zhen Guo got the benefit, and he also knew very well that if he united with Bei Chu, the people under his command would inevitably be in turmoil, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

It is good to be consistent with the outside world, which is in line with his ideas.

"You still can't take it lightly. Keep an eye on them for your own country. If they do anything else, report them immediately."

These 50,000 people did not mess around at all. They were arranging for the evacuation of Northland residents all day long, and also helped protect their property from the Northland.

Of course, this was only on the surface. In private, King Jin took advantage of this chaotic situation to disperse all the 80,000 people secretly assigned by Emperor Hongwen to the darkness of the North.

Coupled with his own people, there are now more than 600,000 people in the North including his people and Zhenguo Gong's people.

"Your Majesty, now that our number has increased so much, we may be in a bit of a hurry regarding food."

"The Emperor didn't arrange food?"

"Yes, there is, but it can only last for ten days at most. After all, according to your method, the Duke of Zhen must be stabilized first, so most of the food and salary are sent to Duke Zhen."

"I heard from people that food is unavailable in many places in Dongzhou."

Hearing this, King Jin frowned and asked in surprise, "Can't you buy food?"

"Are they those aristocratic families and businessmen again?"

"Who else but them? These dogs, whenever they hear the slightest disturbance, they will think of enriching the country."

"The commotion here in the Northland is so fierce this time. It's the devil if they don't take action."

King Jin's face became very ugly. He really wanted to kill these aristocratic families and businessmen.

How long has it been, and I’m still thinking about making money, and I have no brains at all.

Could it be that if Dongzhou is gone, they can have a better life?

If Dongzhou is gone, people from other countries will take care of so much when they come over. How much money they make now, won’t they all be taken over by others in the end?

Even if you don't finish everything in one go, I'm afraid you'll still suffer a lot of losses.

"Does the Emperor have any countermeasures for this?"

"I don't know, but judging from the food delivered this time, I'm afraid the emperor is powerless."

Thinking about it, this kind of thing has happened in the past. Wasn't Emperor Hongwen very passive that time?

Only after Lu Yaoyao took action several times did Emperor Hongwen survive the crisis.

"Where's the princess?"

"This subordinate doesn't know. There has been no letter from there recently."

As soon as Yan Yi finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who?"

It was so late at night, no one would come here anytime soon.

"I am Niu Er, who is under the command of Princess Wanfu. I would like to see His Highness Prince Jin."

Upon hearing that he was from Princess Wanfu, Yan Yi lowered his guard slightly, but he was still on guard when he opened the door.

When the door opened, Yan Yi asked, "How do you prove that you are the princess's wife?"
