"Um... Your Majesty, I am only responsible for the security of the Imperial Capital and the Imperial City. As for external military affairs, I have not interfered with it for a long time." Mo Chengyu's subtext is that he is obviously a general, but in fact he has power for a long time. It has been deprived of its power, and all it can make decisions about is the three-thirds of an acre of land in its hands.
This is not false. This is the result of Kong Fu's suppression. In order to win over Mo Chengyu and complete the decisive killing of Emperor Qianwen, he made a lot of promises. But when it became true, he quickly He turned his face and failed to fulfill many of the things he promised. Now taking this opportunity, Mo Chengyu deliberately had a fit.
"That's enough." Tang Jia was furious when he heard that Mo Chengyu was also trying to push the envelope. There was no unity among the officials below, and he even knew about the internal affairs that had occurred. He is also happy to see the success, and he will not allow any of his subordinates to become too powerful and threaten himself.
But even if there is internal fighting, you have to distinguish when. Now that the enemy is pressing down on the border with a large army, and they are all approaching the city, and they are still fighting here, this is not acceptable to him.
When the emperor became angry, neither Mo Chengyu, who wanted to say something, nor Kong Fu, who wanted to distinguish a few words, did not dare to say anything at this moment.
Everything they have now was given by the emperor. With just one word, the emperor can take back all these powers. If that is the case, then they will have nothing.
The two calmed down, but Tang Jia's anger did not subside. He continued to say angrily, "I don't care about the dirty things between you. What I want to know now is what happened to the army outside the city? He What do you want to do, and how many people are here? Mo Aiqing, let me tell you, after all, you have led soldiers and have rich combat experience."
It was obvious that Tang Jia was not stupid at this moment. He also knew that Kong Fu was a novice in the military and it was useless to ask him anything.
Mo Chengyu, whose name was called, straightened his body, and finally glanced at Kong Fu with a somewhat proud look, then he clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I just came down from the tower and saw the outside of the city. The army was flying the banner of Dahua, so it must be the Dahua Army. They came from the north again, and they should have entered from the direction of Mi City, but how did they get past Mi City? Why didn't we receive any news? When I arrived, I didn’t know about it. Oh, by the way, I went up to the tower to take a look. Because it was dark, I couldn’t really see how many people there were, but judging from the torches they held, I’m afraid there must be hundreds of thousands of troops. of."
"To the north, Secret City, hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops." After Tang Jia recited these important words one by one, his expression turned red with anger and said, "Isn't Secret City our city? Aren’t there 30,000 troops guarding there? Then why didn’t any news come out before?”
The emperor asked angrily. At this moment, Kong Fu and Mo Chengyu were silent, not for any other reason, just because they couldn't understand now. There were obviously 30,000 troops stationed in the secret city, and they also sent a lot of troops to the north. scouts and spies, but why didn’t any news come back?
There are 30,000 troops there. Even if someone wants to surrender to the Chinese army, it is impossible for everyone to do so. It would be fine if only one person sends back the news, so this is even more puzzling. How did they know? , I enjoy the blessings in Daliang City every day, and I can't understand the hard work of the soldiers below. Even if someone comes back to spread the news, it will lead to refutation and anger, and there will be no good fruits to eat.
Not to mention, after the Great Chinese Army stationed in Mi City, it implemented a strict blockade. Even if someone really wanted to send a message to the outside world, they could not.
The three of them couldn't figure it out, but the facts were already here, and it was no longer the time to dwell on them. Mo Chengyu was a general after all and had more experience. He quickly recovered and said, Your Majesty,
Now it is no longer a matter of considering why the Chinese army came to the city, what we have to do now is whether to fight or make peace."
"Yes, do you two have any good opinions on whether to fight or make peace?" Tang Jia also seemed to have come to his senses and said.
...
Outside Daliang City, the sound of cannons rumbled, shaking the northern wall of Daliang City in turmoil.
No matter how hard the city wall is, it will eventually collapse under the attack of countless artillery fire. The difference is only sooner or later.
Under such a well-prepared and continuous bombardment, it is conceivable that if it takes one night, the city wall will be blown out. At that time, the Chinese army will be able to take advantage of the opportunity and enter the city.
Tang Ao, who was protected by the stars, put down the telescope in his hand and looked very calm. When he saw Cheng Bolin and Rui Butong following him, he smiled and said: "You two
, we are about to enter Daliang City again, how are you feeling?"
These two people, one was the former Minister of the Ministry of War and the other was the former Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, both held high positions. It was only because they were dissatisfied with Tang Jia's actions that they abandoned the dark side and joined the bright side, went to Jicheng and joined Dahua.
Once they entered Dahua, it was a bit difficult to arrange their positions. After all, they were already in high positions before coming here, and Dahua does not yet have six departments. We can't create one because of them.
Fortunately, Tang Ao's holy order was issued in time, ordering them to go to Longyuan to study first and feel the difference between Dahua and other forces before making arrangements.
In this way, the officials who came to Dahua from Daqian began to study again. After Tang Ao returned to Jicheng this time, he took the time to meet with them and made some decisions based on their performance in Longyuan.
future arrangements.
For example, Mingshan, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, stayed in Jicheng according to his wishes, and the firearms bureau there would be more suitable for his development. Cheng Bolin and Rui Butong followed Tang Ao to Daliang City, and they will also assume important responsibilities in the future.
Among them, Cheng Bolin was responsible for the statistics of soldiers after the occupation of Daliang City; Rui Butong was responsible for the confiscation of some properties.
The two have been in office for many years, and no one knows the situation better than them. Let them do this, and they will get twice the result with half the effort.
The two professionals were asked about their thoughts by Tang Ao, and they said excitedly, "Your Majesty, the transportation in Daliang City is far more convenient than that in Jicheng. If the capital is set here in the future, there will be a lot of potential."
Obviously, these two people were shocked by the prosperity of Jicheng. Before going out, they always thought that Daliang City was the most prosperous place in the world. But after going to Jicheng, this idea immediately changed. Whether it was the population or the city
In terms of scale, basic construction and commercial development, Jicheng has already surpassed Daliang City by a long way.
This gave the two of them an idea. Since Jicheng, which is located in a remote area, can be built so grandly, there is no reason why Daliang City can't be built. They made up their minds that once they return to Daliang City, they must build it there.
The construction is like a lucky city, even better than here.
Seeing the excitement of the two people, Tang Ao nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, Daliang is a century-old imperial capital with more convenient transportation. It can indeed be built better here, and such a treasure land is left to Tang Jia is really a waste. By the way, you two, in your opinion, what will he do now that we are bombarding Daliang City?"
"This..." Cheng Bolin thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid they will send someone to negotiate peace with His Majesty."
"Talking to peace?" After hearing this, Tang Ao gradually smiled and said: "At this time, how can I possibly negotiate with them? They are probably just daydreaming."
"Yes, Your Majesty, some people just like to daydream." Rui BuTong said with obvious contempt on his face, "If these people are not pragmatic and just daydreaming, how can they do a good job? We ended up in this situation today."
After all, Rui Butong is also a veteran of Daqian. If he says that he has no feelings at all, it is simply impossible. But sometimes the deeper the love, the greater the hatred. Seeing a good Daqian now The country was torn apart. Facing the alien race, he could only give in or give in, but he didn't even have the courage to fight with them. Apart from hatred, there was no other feeling in his heart.
"Yes, it's time for those who only dream and talk. Don't worry, Dahua will replace Dagan in the future, which will make the people live a better life and make the country stronger. , more dignified, so that all foreign races will be frightened when they hear our name, and will not dare to have the slightest provocation."
When Tang Ao said this, an inexplicable aura arose from his body. When the people around him heard it, they all couldn't help but blush.
According to what His Majesty said, just thinking about how powerful Dahua must be makes people yearn for it. For a time, everyone was more sure of the idea of continuing to follow Tang Ao.
As expected, Cheng Bolin knew the imperial court of Daqian. Not long after, several officials from Daqian came from the west city gate. According to them, they were here to make peace.
As the troops approached the city, everything was ready. Tang Ao had done so much work and put in so much energy for this trip. Now if you ask him to retreat and make peace, it would be impossible. As a result, Tang Ao couldn't even see anyone coming. He didn't see them, but asked Shi Lei to give them a few words. For the sake of his former brothers, Tang Ao gave Tang Jia one night to leave Daliang City. If he still didn't leave the city after dawn, the Dahua Army would attack from all sides. At that time, the entire beam will definitely be surrounded by water. At this time, not even a fly can fly out.
The envoy left in despair, but they didn't know that Tang Ao's words were just to drive Tang Jia out of Daliang City. He didn't want to start a fight here and destroy this century-old imperial capital.
