"Does King Jingqian have some..." Jin Pingjiang cautiously asked.
Although he did not dare to offend Yi Yan's dignity, he would never let the situation completely lead to Jin Pingchuan.
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again by Yi Yan.
"Does His Highness Prince Ping think I am exaggerating? Haha, I think you have not listened to this report completely, right? We don't talk about Daxia and Beixue the same now because we think Daxia's military strength is not as good as
Bei Xue, but you may have other ideas after listening to this."
After Yi Yan finished speaking, he looked at Jin Huang who was still kneeling. Others in the court also stared at Jin Huang.
Only then did Jin Huang remember that he had just been too hasty and told Li Lin's conditions, completely forgetting what happened in Xia Zhi City.
"Your Majesty, Duke Ning of the Kingdom of Jin led a rebellion of 100,000 Northern troops."
"What?!"
There was a sudden uproar, and Jin Pingjiang was also confused at this time. Didn't the Northern Army send people just to hinder Li Lin's Northern Expedition? How come they are rebelling now? But, doesn't this further reflect that Daxia is now suffering from internal troubles?
?
"How's the situation now?"
Jin Pingchuan asked anxiously. It wasn't that he was worried about Li Lin, it was just that Daxia was where he was betting.
"The Northern Army besieged Xia Zhi City for three days and has now been defeated."
"Huh..." Jin Pingjiang let out a heavy breath.
"The city can be captured in three days. As expected, the strength of Daxia's capital army is also weak enough." Jin Pingjiang thought to himself.
"Speak clearly! Who lost."
Jin Pingchuan thought so too, but he still didn't give up.
"Northern...Northern Army."
Jin Huang thought about the scene described by the scout when he reported back, and his heart trembled with fear.
"What!!"
This time, except for Jingqian Wang Yiyan and Jin Mingzhu who was hiding behind, everyone in the hall asked in disbelief.
"How is that possible? 100,000 people?"
"It won't take three days to behead him."
"Did he hang up?" A time traveler entered the scene by mistake and was immediately kicked out.
After a brief silence, the hall was filled with excitement.
"How dare you lie about military information?"
Jin Pingjiang looked at Jin Huang angrily.
"I don't dare! I don't dare! I don't know what kind of magic Li Lin used. One hundred thousand soldiers of the Northern Army turned into ashes overnight. The scouts who went to investigate saw it clearly."
Jinhuang quickly begged for mercy and kowtowed after saying this.
"Okay! Forget it!" Jin Rongcheng said to Jin Huang with a dark face.
He was very dissatisfied. If Jin Huang had told this matter earlier, these things would not have happened.
"Your Majesty, he hasn't finished speaking yet. Let me add something."
Yi Yan interjected, and Jin Rongcheng nodded and motioned for her to speak.
"And when Li Lin defended the city, he only lost a few thousand men, but he destroyed 100,000 troops of the Northern Army."
With a simple sentence, there was silence in the hall.
"Your Majesty! At this moment, if we don't obey the cooperation with Daxia, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Jin Kingdom who will be massacred by Daxia!" Jin Pingchuan said and knelt down heavily, knocking his head on the ground.
"Your Majesty, no!" Although Jin Pingjiang hasn't come up with any countermeasures yet, he definitely can't let Jin Pingchuan succeed so easily.
Seeing that the ministers below were getting ready to take action, Jin Rongcheng inevitably had a headache.
"It's better to do it again..."
Jin Rongcheng drew out the Supreme Gold Card and the Word Card.
"Your Majesty, no, Li Lin only gives us half a month. In half a month, Daxia's army will begin to attack the city."
Yi Yan drew the skill and within a limited time, interrupted Ning Rongcheng's dragging spell.
"Your Majesty, we really can't hesitate any longer. If they are more fully prepared in half a month, our Daxia will resist with more force!"
Jin Pingchuan bowed his head again and begged. Although he wanted to get the power, but... he still had a place in his heart for the people of Li and the country of Jin.
"Your Majesty..." Jin Pingjiang was about to say more when he was interrupted by a crisp and beautiful female voice.
"Father, my two brothers, Mingzhu has an idea, it might be feasible."
Although the Jin Kingdom has some resistance to women entering politics, as a commercial dynasty they basically put practicality first, so women like Jin Mingzhu and Yi Yan can also participate in politics in the Jin Kingdom.
The three of them frowned at first. It was not that they were against Mingzhu's participation in politics, but they just felt that politics was too dirty and they never really wanted Jin Mingzhu to participate.
"Father, please don't forget that I still have Daxia's engagement, so sooner or later my sons and ministers will have to be involved in this matter."
The three of them had indeed forgotten this, but they were all very confused as to what the use of Jin Mingzhu's words was.
"Father, the main reasons why we don't cooperate with Xia Guo are as follows."
"First, Daxia's army is weak and not as good as Beixue. We are worried that even if they come, they will not be able to resist Beixue well."
Everyone nodded, that's what they originally thought, but after learning about Li Lin's glorious battle report...
"I think this point should not be a problem now. Let me talk about the second point. Beixue is connected with our Daxia border and stretches for thousands of miles. It is impossible to achieve complete defense. If it is not better with Beixue, then we will have to often
Facing harassment from Beixue."
"What my sister said is absolutely true!" Jin Pingjiang said happily.
"Second brother!" Jin Mingzhu said angrily, signaling Jin Pingjiang not to interrupt her.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, just tell me and I'll shut up." Jin Pingjiang shrugged helplessly.
"In this case, we can build a city wall so that even if people can come through, horses can't. This greatly reduces our risk. You may say that this is a cliché, but today is different from the past. My brother Prince and I
When I went to Daxia, I saw some special machines...machines, which can greatly speed up our construction. In this way, even our country of Jin could not accept the cost, so it has been reduced to a level that we can accept."
Jin Mingzhu thought of how Li Lin showed them some pulleys, scaffolding, and other things.
"Is this really true?"
Jin Rongcheng asked curiously.
"Of course, all of this was originally included in the agreement between the prince and brother."
Jin Pingchuan's face turned red. He was only thinking about politics and military matters, and did not think about these civilian items that shocked him at that time.
Jin Mingzhu saw that everyone around her was lost in thought, so she was not in a hurry.
"We can build this first and see. If it doesn't work, we can stop it. With the financial resources of our Jin country, we can still support this loss. Next, the second point leads to the third point. Beixue will not watch it.
Let us build the city wall."
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Jin Mingzhu again, and so was Yi Yan, but her eyes were full of relief.
"This is the important purpose of Daxia's help in guarding the border this time. It can also solve the fifth point. Beixue is unable to be swept in by the herdsmen. In time, Daxia is willing to fight and can defeat it, but as long as Daxia leaves, we will still be able to defeat them.
You have to face Beixue’s harassment.”
Jin Mingzhu paused and looked around at everyone.
"What we want has never been to wipe out Beixue, because we all know that this is impossible. We just want them not to harass Beixue. In this way, our requirements for Daxia's border defense can be replaced by, first, requiring their troops to guard the border in Jin
The country was stationed until the wall was built on the border between Jin Kingdom and Beixue Kingdom. Secondly, Daxia was asked to occupy a state of Beixue Kingdom close to Jin Kingdom. In this way, the pressure of harassment from Beixue Kingdom was given to Daxia."
"Wonderful, wonderful! Hahaha!"
"But why would Daxia want an enclave? Besides, Northern Snow Country is not rich either."
Jin Pingjiang grasped the key point and asked involuntarily.
"Haha, second brother, our Jin State has taken over all the food for construction in this state for three years, can he not want it? Originally we had to provide it to Beixue and Daxia at the same time, but now that Beixue is being shared by Daxia, we naturally don't need to give it to him.
Money, what if we give this money to Daxia? What’s more, if they develop well, we can trade, isn’t this the best of both worlds?”
