Concubine Yun Guifei learned that Bai Yutian was back, so she waited for Bai Yutian's arrival in Taiji Hall early.
As Bai Yutian's woman, Concubine Yun Guifei has always tried her best to relieve Bai Yutian's worries.
"Your Majesty, I understand your Majesty's thoughts. The Great Zhou Dynasty will never humiliate itself to negotiate peace."
Concubine Yun Guifei leaned in Bai Yutian's arms and said softly.
"It would be great if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could have the spirit of a beloved concubine." Bai Yutian sighed and said.
The enemy is invading, but the people in the court are divided. Everyone just wants to protect their own interests. How to win such a war?
After being away for a few days, Bai Yutian missed Concubine Yun very much. When he saw Concubine Yun, he couldn't bear it anymore and threw her down directly.
"My dear concubine, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much." Bai Yutian showed a wicked smile on his face, and his hands had already entered Concubine Yun's clothes, making Concubine Yun blush with embarrassment.
After not seeing each other for a few days, it’s spring again.
The next day, just as Bai Yutian expected, many ministers began to make plans to negotiate peace with Shanu.
At this point, everyone knows that Dazhou will definitely pay a very heavy price for negotiating peace with Shanu.
However, these people just want to protect their own interests and are not willing to continue fighting at all.
Especially the Gu family. Tailin is the headquarters of the Gu family. The ones who want to keep Tailin City the most are the Gu family.
"Your Majesty, Shan Nu is currently very powerful. If we don't negotiate a peace in time, I'm afraid we will completely lose the initiative." A minister from the Gu family camp said with tears in his voice.
Not only this person, but most officials in the DPRK, including some neutral officials, almost supported the peace negotiation at this moment.
Seeing this, Bai Yutian sneered. Ever since Shan Nu invaded, they and Shan Nu had lost the opportunity for equal dialogue.
Now, either Da Zhou surrenders or Shan Nu retreats.
But now it seems that it is impossible for Shanu to retreat.
"My dear friends, you should all know what kind of situation we will face in Great Zhou if I agree to negotiate a peace." Bai Yutian said in a deep voice, with a powerful storm hidden under his calm tone.
With Master Liu's lessons learned, these people did not dare to continue to act recklessly when facing Bai Yutian.
However, this does not mean that they will not continue to insist on peace talks.
"After Shanu takes over Xuzhou, he will definitely pose a huge threat to Tailin. At that time, Shanu will be able to march straight in and reach Tailin in less than half a month, and the imperial court has no available troops." Gu Taizhong's face was calm and relaxed.
He said slowly, pointing directly to the point.
Once Jing Zhao's Fenghuo Camp was gone, the imperial court basically had no available troops.
As for Shuimu Camp, its combat power is completely incomparable to that of Fenghuo Camp.
What Gu Taizhong said is also something that most people are worried about.
Even if negotiating peace with Shanu requires ceding territory and paying compensation, they still intend to negotiate peace.
"My dear friends, there is no need to persuade me. I will never agree to peace. If Shanu comes to invade, I will definitely take the lead and lead the army to fight." Domineering words came out of Bai Yutian's mouth, suppressing the entire audience.
However, even if Bai Yutian said this, these ministers were still unmoved.
Gu Taizhong took the lead and knelt down, his forehead almost touching the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the people of Li and the continuation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I sincerely ask your Majesty to negotiate peace."
Under the leadership of Gu Taizhong, almost 80% of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down and all uttered the same sentence, begging His Majesty to negotiate peace.
"What I did was for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and in order to prevent war from happening again, I could only end the war with war, and stop the war with killing." Bai Yutian said angrily, his eyes bursting with coldness.
However, no matter what Bai Yutian said, these civil and military officials remained unmoved and continued to kneel.
"If Your Majesty does not agree, we will kneel here forever." These people made it clear that they wanted to fight Bai Yutian to the end, and Gu Taizhong's support was indispensable among them.
"Then you just keep kneeling." Bai Yutian stood up angrily, waved his sleeves and robe, turned around and left.
After Bai Yutian left, a sneer flashed across the face of Gu Taizhong, who was kneeling in the court hall, "Huh, Your Majesty is determined to go against the ministers and go against the general trend. There is really nothing the ministers can do."
The fact that he was able to go to court with a sword in the past shows that his prestige and power have reached a peak. Even if he is willing, Bai Yutian's position as emperor may not be stable.
Even though Bai Yutian has now removed some of Gu Taizhong's gang members, Gu Taizhong's core strength has not been lost much.
Now that the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty was serious, Bai Yutian decided to go against the trend. Facing the dissuasion from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he turned a deaf ear and insisted on fighting.
As a result, I am afraid that there will be more voices in the DPRK and China opposing Bai Yutian.
After going to court, Bai Yutian did not return to the imperial study. Instead, he left the palace and came to the Ministry of Industry.
Here, a large open space was divided and the Tiangong Institute was established, with Shen Yuxing in charge.
Originally, many people opposed this order. After all, in terms of qualifications and prestige, Shen Yuxing, a newcomer, was not qualified to take charge of Tiangongyuan.
However, this matter seemed a bit irrelevant when it came to negotiating peace with Shanu, and many people ignored it.
"Your Majesty, the repeating crossbow has been improved and its accuracy has been greatly improved." As soon as Bai Yutian entered the Tiangongyuan, he saw Shen Yuxing running over with unkempt hair and unkempt excitement on his face.
Shen Yuxing was really embarrassed at the moment. If it weren't for his voice, Bai Yutian wouldn't have been able to recognize him.
"Yes, Yuxing, I came here this time to study a new thing with you." Bai Yutian patted Shen Yuxing on the shoulder and said.
"However." Bai Yutian glanced around and said, "This matter needs to be kept secret for the time being and cannot be known to outsiders."
Dian Wei and Zhao Chuxue immediately understood and drove out all the people around them. Suddenly, only Bai Yutian and four others were left in the entire yard.
"Your Majesty, what exactly is this!" Shen Yuxing said excitedly, even eager to see it.
As the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, Bai Yutian always brings surprises to him. The previous telescopes and magnifying glasses have been mass-produced by Tiangong Institute and can be used to monitor military situations.
At this moment, Shen Yuxing wanted to know what new things Bai Yutian had.
"Shen Yuxing, please take a look at this drawing first. Can you understand it?" Bai Yutian took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Shen Yuxing.
Shen Yuxing took the drawing and looked at it carefully. His eyes were immediately attracted, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing.
This drawing was drawn by Bai Yutian based on the memory of the gun in his mind. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty in this world invented gunpowder, no weapons related to gunpowder were released.
Therefore, Bai Yutian racked his brains and drew a rough prototype of the musket.
However, although Bai Yutian can draw it, it would be very difficult for him to make his own musket.
