Jin Feng gave each vassal king two months in total. More than half a month has passed now, but except for King Jin, no one from the other vassal kings has responded, and the Ninth Princess's secret message has not been sent back to any vassal king.
News of departure.
In fact, not having an answer is also an answer.
Dakang's transportation was backward, and the various vassal kings did not have steam ships. They rushed from their respective fiefdoms to Sichuan and Shu. For vassal kings who were far away like King Wu and King Min, two months might not be enough to make the journey.
The various vassal kings have not set out yet, having already made their attitude clear.
Jin Feng looked up at the darkening sky and said slowly: "Tell Xiaobei to prepare supplies. When the main force of the Zhenyuan Army withdraws, I'm afraid the war will begin!"
The armed forces under his command were dispersed everywhere, and the largest force among them was the main force of Zhenyuan Army, which was pinned down in Xizhou by Dang Xiang's southern expeditionary army, with thousands of people.
Now that Dangxiang's southern expeditionary army has retreated, these manpower can be withdrawn.
"With whom?" asked the Ninth Princess.
"The King of Jin should be leaving Sichuan and Sichuan soon. It is estimated that the news that you will proclaim the emperor will spread in the next two days."
Jin Feng said: "Whoever refuses to accept, we will start a war with him!"
The members of the Zhenyuan Army are basically refugees who were captured by Danzhu in Damangpo, and most of them are women who have nowhere to go.
Not only have these people endured hardships, there are also many girls who are still thinking of dying in battle to earn pensions.
In training, each one works harder than an escort.
Jin Feng was worried that the girls would be frightened when they saw blood, so just like the escorts before, he let the Zhenyuan Army go on a mission to suppress bandits for a period of time before letting them officially go to the battlefield.
Facts have proved that Jin Feng's worries were completely unnecessary.
During the Zhenyuan Army's suppression of bandits, many girls fought more fiercely than men and were not afraid of death.
Now Zhenyuan Army has been in confrontation with Dangxiang Nanzheng Army for several months, and they have fought many times in the process. They can definitely be called veterans.
Coupled with the weapons provided by Jin Feng, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Zhenyuan Army is probably not weaker than that of the bodyguards of the Escort Bureau. Jin Feng feels that they are overqualified and overqualified to deal with the dandy armies of various vassals.
But the Ninth Princess was a little worried.
"Husband, now the various vassal kings are worried about how to deal with you. Once King Jin releases the news, they will most likely use this as an excuse to unite."
The Ninth Princess frowned and reminded: "I'm afraid we will be at war with the whole world by then!"
"So what?" Jin Feng said coldly: "This world is already rotten, and we just take this opportunity to smash it so that we can gain new vitality!"
In the past, Jin Feng was always afraid that the people would suffer, so when making various decisions, the first consideration was to avoid conflicts as much as possible, and then use subtle means to change the situation.
Even when he was first led to the East China Sea, the village was besieged by bandits and suffered heavy casualties. Jin Feng endured it. He only killed the powerful princes who were hoarding food and causing trouble, but did not liquidate the family power behind them.
Later, the Ninth Princess went through a general liquidation in the capital, and Jin Feng also persuaded the Ninth Princess to cancel the system of involvement.
Not to mention in the Sichuan and Sichuan areas, bandit suppression, disaster relief, water conservancy construction, and people-benefiting loans...
After the rise of Jin Feng, everything he did was to slowly change Dakang in a stable way.
As a result, the powerful and powerful people did not know how to be grateful, but instead attacked Jin Feng in the East China Sea.
This also made Jin Feng completely understand that the powerful and powerful families were accustomed to oppressing the people, and they would never allow Jin Feng to change this kind of life.
In order to stop Jin Feng, they would not hesitate to collude with foreigners.
The fourth prince's collusion with Mr. Feng proved this point and completely shattered Jin Feng's last hope for the powerful family.
They made Jin Feng understand that the world is hopeless and the best way to let the people live a peaceful life is to use fists!
Jin Feng's insistence on making the Ninth Princess the emperor was not an impulsive decision, but a decision he made after careful consideration in the East China Sea.
One of the reasons is to deliberately give the powerful and powerful people in the world an excuse to attack.
As the first queen in the world, the Ninth Princess will inevitably encounter a lot of opposition when she ascends to the throne, which is the best excuse to start a war.
Jin Feng can also use this to cut through the mess with a sharp sword and completely crush the powerful elite of Dakang as quickly as possible.
Seeing that Jin Feng had made up his mind, the Ninth Princess stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he and Jin Feng silently waited for the responses from all parties.
They were not kept waiting. Just one day later, Tieniu came back from Xizhou with a message, and the Dangxiang royal family responded.
The content of the message was very simple - just like Gada, he refused Jin Feng's request without hesitation.
This result was within the expectations of Jin Feng and Ninth Princess, and Jin Feng was not angry.
But who knew that on the afternoon of the day when the news came back, Tieniu would send back a new message.
The party members executed more than a thousand Central Plains people captured from Dakang, and hung the corpses in rows on the cliffs at the border!
"They are looking for death!"
When Jin Feng heard the news, he was so angry that he overturned the table in the study room.
"Send an order to Tieniu and ask him to form a death squad of five hundred people. I want to capture Emperor Dangxiang alive!"
"How are you planning to capture Emperor Dangxiang alive? Do you have a plan?" asked the Ninth Princess.
"What plan do we need to deal with a group of barbarians?" Jin Feng said coldly: "Just kill them all the way!"
"Just rely on the five hundred death squads?"
"Yes, just rely on the five hundred death squads!" Jin Feng nodded without hesitation.
"Husband, I know you are angry, but you can't be impulsive!"
Even if the Ninth Princess trusted Jin Feng, she still thought he was crazy.
"Do you think I would risk the lives of five hundred brothers?"
Jin Feng glanced at Princess Ninth: "Mancang and I recently made a dozen small steam engines."
"so much?"
The eyes of Princess Ninth and Xiaoyu lit up at the same time.
Not only was Jin Feng busy some time ago, but Tang Dongdong, the director of the textile factory, was also extremely busy.
After Jin Feng came back, he taught Tang Dongdong the process of making fire-proof cloth. Recently, she has been working overtime to make hot air balloons and airships.
Both Princess Ninth and Xiaoyu knew about this, but they thought Jin Feng was preparing for the future. Unexpectedly, Jin Feng had already taken out the steam engine.
A dozen steam engines are equivalent to a dozen airships.
A hot air balloon with grenades is enough to scare the enemy. If it is paired with an airship that can fly freely, the Five Hundred Expendables will indeed have the capital to sweep the party!
"Send a message to Chunshui Town, Black Rock City, and Gufengling and ask them to prepare kerosene in advance to replenish the airship!"
Jin Feng stared at the map for a while and then issued an order.
The way to Xizhou is basically a mountain road. Now that there is an airship, there is no need to walk on the mountain road anymore. It is faster for the airship to fly directly there.
"Yes!" Xiaoyu nodded and left.
Jin Feng also returned to the iron smelting workshop and took Mancang and female workers to assemble the airship overnight.
