Warm sunshine shines through the clean glass windows into the office of the Imperial Taxation Department. The world outside the window is clear, with white clouds floating in the blue sky like fluffy ones. Occasionally, a silver passenger plane cuts through the sky, leaving behind
Long white trail.
"Tsk, tsk, look at today's news, it's really exciting!" A uniformed tax official put down the documents in his hand, picked up the newspaper and started reading: "The Marquis Binghan gave a public speech in Linshui, expressing his gratitude for the previous work with His Majesty.
I deeply regret my actions as an enemy and swear allegiance to the Tang Empire."
As he spoke, he took the hot tea handed to him by his subordinates and took a sip: "It seems that this Marquis also understands current affairs and is a man of distinction."
What this said is that people have already arrived at Linshui, how can they not understand current affairs? Is it possible that in the largest port of the Tang Empire, almost one of the most prosperous cities in the world, in front of tens of millions of people who respect and love the great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty,
Said that he actually wanted to have a one-on-one challenge with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire?
Regardless of whether his remarks can be published in a newspaper, it is estimated that after he finished speaking, he would probably be blocked by the angry crowd and trampled into photos...
Did you know that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire personally made several speeches to appease the imperial people on the Western Continent after the war broke out? If His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to, he could at least conscript 20 million troops and send them to the Eastern Continent to prove the power of the Tang Empire.
Full of virtue.
"That's not true," his subordinate echoed with a smile: "I heard that Grand Duke Yangmu also arrived in Linshui yesterday. This is the second time that a former emperor has arrived in Linshui."
"The Grand Duke Yangmu has also arrived?" Another official poked his head from the desk next door with a surprised look on his face: "Then have you seen the news about the Marquis of Sussus? He had already boarded the ship at Bunas Port yesterday.
It is estimated that we will arrive at Linshui soon.”
"I see, I see," the official who spoke first said with a smile: "I almost laughed out loud when I saw this news. Did you know? There is only one day difference between his and Marquis Lynes's shipping schedule. Lynes
The Marquis boarded the ship today. I checked the shipping schedule and found a more interesting thing..."
His words successfully aroused the curiosity of the colleagues around him, and everyone stopped what they were doing and listened.
"Huh? What's something interesting?" Someone asked impatiently: "Stop being so pretentious, tell me!"
The official cleared his throat and said mysteriously: "The cruise ship that the Marquis of Susas is traveling on will stay at Dongwan Island for seven hours for supplies. In other words, although he and the Marquis of Lines set off at different times, they
The final arrival time in Linshui is very likely to be on the same day! Think about it, two former kings arrived in Linshui on the same day, how embarrassing it would be! Hahaha..."
Bursts of laughter suddenly erupted in the office, and everyone imagined the scene where the two former kings met, and the smiles on their faces became even stronger.
"This is not over yet," a young official interjected: "Don't forget, there is also Grand Duke Nanla! It is said that he is also preparing to go to Linshui. This time, the three former emperors...oh no, it is the four
The gathering of former emperors in Linshui is simply a gathering of 'kings who have subjugated their country'!"
"Isn't that true!" A senior official sighed with a smile: "Our Majesty has really collected all these people who have proclaimed themselves emperor! For those who don't know, I thought His Majesty has a habit of collecting former kings!"
"Haha, that's an interesting statement! Maybe His Majesty really has a hobby in this area." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Indeed, if we could collect all the emperors from various countries and place them in Chang'an, and let them come up and show their faces at every court meeting, the scene would be very spectacular. Just thinking about it would make people feel comfortable and have a sense of accomplishment.
Tang Mo actually had some ideas in this regard, because after all, in a world he was familiar with, there really was a Tang Empire that let a certain Khan come out to dance or something. If it was a festival, he would also let these former
If the monarchs come out to perform a show, the effect may be very good.
It's just that there is no point in doing this. No enemy will be affected by this kind of deterrence. He has completely ruled the world.
…
Linshui, Binghan I had been completely shocked by the prosperity of Linshui. Like many people, he was only frightened by the giant transport ship of the Tang Empire when he boarded the ship in Yongdong City, but after arriving at Linshui, he saw
It was completely beyond his imagination.
The transport ship boarded in Everwinter City was not a civilian cruise ship, so Binghan I, the current Marquis Binghan, did not actually feel the luxury that Sophia felt, but he still saw the power of technology: huge
Ships can transport more than one billion rounds of ammunition at a time. Such logistical supplies support the battles of the Tang Empire's frontline troops. How can the dwarves win?
After the Binghan Marquis came to Linshui, he had really accepted the fact that he was bound to fail: the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent were simply not in the same era, and the prosperity of Linshui had already surpassed that of Eternal Winter City.
Huge mechanical cranes here stand like trees in a forest, and there are so many factory buildings that you can't even see them at a glance.
The most frightening thing is that the people here are producing things that he can no longer understand. He, the former ruler of the icy region, has no idea what an integrated circuit is, and he has no idea what a chip processor is, let alone
I mentioned capacitive screens, smartphones...
"Alas..." Marquis Binghan sighed, his eyes falling on the exquisite and compact smartphone, his eyes full of confusion and loneliness.
"I think this is why I am bound to lose. I don't even understand my opponents at all, and I don't understand how powerful they are..." He murmured to himself, his tone full of bitterness and helplessness.
The old housekeeper stood aside, seeing the once high-spirited monarch now so depressed, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that for the Binghan Marquis, the shame of defeat and the pain of losing power were like maggots that gnaw at the bones all the time.
To his heart.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He is an old man who has always been with the Bingbing Marquis. He once witnessed the soldiers of the Bingcold Kingdom marching into Ironforge and dominating the dwarf area. In the Datang Group
With the support of the Binghan Empire, it became the glory of the Binghan Empire. At that time, Binghan I really seemed to have touched the door to dominate the world.
"Sir..." the old housekeeper called softly, bowed slightly, and wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.
"They call this...a mobile phone, right?" Marquis Binghan ignored the old butler's title. He just stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed the smooth screen of the phone, as if he was touching a treasure from another world: "
Such a small thing...can do so many things...it's incredible..."
"We didn't lose unjustly..." Binghan Marquis smiled bitterly and shook his head, his tone full of self-deprecation and helplessness: "It should be said that losing to such an opponent is a matter of course. We...really did not win from the beginning.
No chance of winning."
He raised his head and stared blankly ahead, as if trapped in endless memories, "I still remember that when I learned that the Tang Empire's army had landed on the Western Continent, I actually felt that I still had a chance of winning...
…”
"At that time, I was still thinking, even if the Tang Empire is extremely powerful, what about the Eastern Continent that spans the entire endless sea and can unite the entire East Continent?" Marquis Binghan laughed at himself, with a hint of tone in his tone.
With a hint of bitterness: "That's what I thought at the time...and what I did..."
"I have assembled the elite troops from across the country, preparing to completely wipe out these enemies who dare to invade..." Marquis Binghan's voice gradually became lower, as if he was immersed in deep self-blame and regret: "But... I was wrong.
…”
"I don't understand my enemies at all...I underestimated their strength...and their determination..." The Binghan Marquis closed his eyes in pain, and the tragic scenes of the war appeared in his mind.
"Our brave soldiers fell under the enemy's artillery fire... Our strong city walls were completely destroyed by the enemy's steel torrent..." The Ice-cold Marquis's voice trembled, as if he was suffering from great pain, "And I...
...But I can only watch all this happen...powerless..."
"I... wrongly blamed Marshal Moss... and also wrongly blamed those soldiers who fought until the last moment..." Marquis Binghan took a deep breath and tried to calm down his excited emotions, "They have tried their best... It's me
...It was me, a fatuous and incompetent monarch, who pushed them into the abyss..."
"Sir..." The old housekeeper looked at his master distressedly and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.
"That's it...everything is over..." Marquis Binghan waved his hand feebly, signaling the old butler not to say any more.
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance, his eyes full of confusion and loneliness, "I just don't understand...why? Why is the world like this? Why is the gap between us so big? Is it possible?
Is it really just a difference between one person? Just because of... one person? "
…
"Of course it's not up to me alone! This is the result of the joint efforts of thousands of people of the Tang Dynasty!" Tang Mo's hearty laughter spread around the dining table. He picked up a piece of vegetables and explained easily to the imperial concubines around him.
: "If it were just me, or just the weapons and equipment and some advanced technologies I provided, the Tang Empire that we are familiar with would never have developed to the point where it is as powerful as it is today."
He put down his chopsticks and glanced at every beautiful woman present, with a hint of seriousness in his tone: "You must remember that the truly great and indispensable people are always the hard-working people! It is their sweat and wisdom that pour out
Today's prosperous Tang Dynasty, I just pointed out a direction and a goal for them."
After Tang Mo finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and continued: "Just like a car, the people are the powerful engine and the source of endless power, and I am just controlling it.
The driver behind the wheel.”
He paused, with a trace of pride in his eyes: "Although the driver is very important, without the engine to provide power, this car cannot move at all, right? Those countries that were our enemies, those failed rulers, they
I always think that it was me who single-handedly raised the technical level of the Tang Empire, making the Tang Empire invincible and invincible on the battlefield."
He shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "But in fact, they completely understood it wrong! What is more important than the technology I provide, more important than the weapons and equipment, is that I serve all the people of the Tang Dynasty.
This country has opened up a new road, a broad road leading to a bright future! A road that will no longer be oppressed, no longer exploited, and will no longer repeat the tragic fate of the past!"
As he spoke, he put down the half-bitten snack and his eyes became firm: "Those losers, if they still can't figure this out, then even if you give them ten more chances, a hundred chances, they will finally
There is no way to escape the fate of failure!”
Having said this, Tang Mo pointed to his temple with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Because it is not me who really pushes them to destruction, but themselves! It is their own decadent rule and their own influence on
The people’s oppression is their own confusion about the future!”
He paused, seeming to think of those opponents who had now become his prisoners, and then he withdrew his thoughts, and then said meaningfully: "They should really reflect on why the people who support them are all those
Bastards who are despised by the people and hung on street lamps by the people! Why are the people who support them all greedy, corrupt and preying on the common people! If they don’t want to understand this, they will never know where they have failed.”
"They probably won't know where they lost until they die." Alice picked up the wine glass, saluted Tang Mo, and said with a smile.
"Indeed! They probably shouldn't know this until they die, but we have to know it. If we forget this, then we, or our descendants, will be defeated one day!" Tang Mo picked up the wine glass again and drank.
After finishing the drink, his eyes were full of confidence and determination: "The power of the people
Measurement is the greatest power in the world! And I just awakened this power that has been dormant for a long time! The monarch of the Tang Empire must always be the user and master of this power.
, instead of fearing it, sealing it, and ultimately letting it become power in the hands of others."
He smiled and looked at his adoring concubines again, with a relaxed and cheerful tone: "So, the real heroes are the working people who worked hard for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty! Without them, there would be no
Today’s Datang! Without them, we wouldn’t have everything we have now!”
