The time is approaching September, and the weather is getting cooler.
The imperial capital is even more prosperous.
Today's Imperial Capital City has become the political, economic, and cultural center of the Xia Kingdom. The economy is prosperous, and countless scholars gather. After all, Du Qi's Xia Kingdom is extremely powerful and has attracted countless scholars.
The humble scholars in the Tang Dynasty, many children from aristocratic families who had no way out, all gathered under Du Qi's command, making the imperial capital more and more prosperous today.
Today's Xia Kingdom, although the territory has not expanded, but the control over various places is getting stronger and stronger. After all, the unification of language and writing has been advancing, especially there are criticism conferences in various places, which are specially looking for people who used to be poor and criticize the Brahmin and Kshatriya races.
This kind of thing started from the imperial capital at the top, and then it was carried out all over the country. Because of this thing, the people recognized Xia Guo even more. After all, countless people had been oppressed.
Du Qi is now waiting in the palace.
This waiting is waiting for the mortars in the army to be equipped in the army. In fact, the best way is to set up a separate artillery army in the army to form the combat effectiveness of the artillery, but now it is about to go to war with the countries in southern Tianzhu, so it will not be arranged like this for the time being.
In about a month, the mortars have been equipped in the army.
A full thousand mortars were manufactured.
As far as the manufacture of mortars is concerned, more can be manufactured. The problem is that the shells can't keep up, and they can't be equipped enough, so there are only a thousand mortars equipped right now, but even if there are only a thousand mortars, there is enough ammunition.
Especially in the follow-up, shells can continue to be replenished.
On this day, when Du Qi was writing a book, it was Shangguanyi who rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, the troops of Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang have already assembled. All the mortars in the army are also in good operation. Next , His Majesty personally ordered to send troops to conquer the southern countries."
Du Qi stood up abruptly, and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for a long time for this day. It's this battle that puts down the entire Tianzhu."
"Walk!"
Du Qi gave the order immediately.
He and Shangguanyi went out, but when Du Qi had just left, it was Yu Deshui who hurried in, bowed to Du Qi and said, "Your Majesty!"
Du Qi asked, "What's the matter?"
Yu Deshui reported: "Your Majesty, just received news from Datang, please read it."
While talking, he handed over a letter.
This is the latest news.
Du Qi stopped temporarily, took the letter and quickly browsed it. When Du Qi finished reading the news, he had a solemn expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The news in the letter is about the situation in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the army is constantly mobilizing. The envoys of the Tang Dynasty went out, and they went to the countries around the Tang Dynasty."
After a pause, Du Qi continued: "According to the speculation of the sentries lurking in the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for Li Shimin to go to war with other countries at the same time, so the reason for this large-scale mobilization is most likely to stabilize the surrounding countries, or to let them It is the latest judgment that the surrounding countries will help and then attack our country of Xia."
Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty, I also agree that the Tang Dynasty will go to war. The reason is very simple. The first is that the Tang Dynasty now has gunpowder, so it must be self-righteous and able to have full strength. The second is that the Tang Dynasty knows that we are going south to sweep the countries. , think that our Western Regions are not strong enough to resist. In short, the superposition of various reasons makes Li Shimin want to fight."
Du Qi said with a smile: "Li Shimin thought well, but he picked the wrong target for war."
Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty, should we stay? Let Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang take charge of this battle, and let them take charge of the war in the south. After all, if the Tang Dynasty is going to invade, you must personally sit in charge."
Du Qi said: "No, first solve the southern countries."
As soon as Du Qi turned his eyes, he looked at Yu Deshui and ordered: "You hand this letter to Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi immediately, and tell them to leave some troops to guard the imperial capital. Then, the two People quietly led the army to transfer to Yizhou, ready to go to war with Datang. If you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will defend. The situation in the southern countries, I will sweep the southern countries with the force of thunder."
"yes!"
Yu Deshui took the letter and left.
Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty, it is very likely that we are fighting on two fronts. For us, there is still some risk."
Du Qi said: "The countries in the south, we have been planning for such a long time, if this battle, we still can't reach the point of sweeping the hole.If there is no effect, it will be a failure. "
"What's more, the latest news is that the countries in the region that once belonged to the Jieri Kingdom have jointly elected the leader of the Gundam Kingdom to set Shang Jia as the head, and asked him to lead the troops of the southern countries and the Chaluqi Dynasty. Let's set up troops together to counter us. The opponent's troops have already gathered together."
Du Qidao: "Then in this battle, we only need to implement the beheading action to destroy this group of troops. Naturally, all the countries in the south will collapse, and the people will be able to revolt. The war in the south is complicated, but Actually, it's not that complicated."
Shangguanyi said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Let's go!"
After Du Qi gave an order, he took Shangguanyi, Mo Ledu and the guard soldiers around him out of the palace, and went straight to the military camp in the city.
In the barracks, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui have already assembled the army.
The army arrived together.
In addition, the elephant soldiers led by the left vanguard were also there, as well as all the artillery.
The entire lineup is mighty.
Du Qi stood in front of the army formation, looked at the gathered black army, and shouted: "Boys, we have sent troops this time to rescue thousands of people who are still in dire straits in the south. Must win!"
"We must win!"
The lieutenant general shouted.
"We must win!"
"We must win!"
The cries one after another continued to resound.
All the soldiers were very excited.
The excitement of the soldiers is not only about being able to save the people, because for them, that is a higher ideal. The exciting thing about soldiers is that they can make meritorious deeds on the battlefield.
Previously, he fought against King Jieri, and after the first battle, he was finally rewarded for his meritorious service, and countless soldiers were rewarded. As long as they participated in the battle, soldiers were rewarded. Especially when fighting on the battlefield, soldiers who have made great achievements will be rewarded even more generously. For the soldiers under Du Qi's original command, this is actually a very normal thing.
However, those soldiers who used to be soldiers of Jie Japan were reorganized under Du Qi's command. They received too many awards, all of which were really shocked, and they also learned about the treatment of Du Qi's army. Really good.
So everyone is already looking forward to the war.
Where there is war, there will be meritorious service.
Although it is said that fighting on the battlefield is definitely risky, even losing one's life. But for ordinary soldiers, if they can make meritorious deeds to change their destiny and get rewards for their deeds, then their family members can live a good life, and they can also live a good life. This is the dream of countless people.
So the soldiers under Du Qi's command were warlike.
More wolfish.
This is driven by interests.
After the cries of Du Qi and other soldiers subsided a little, they stopped talking and directly ordered troops to be dispatched. With an order, the army hurried forward and began to leave the imperial capital. When the army set out, they were marching along the road, and many people on the streets were watching, and when the people were watching, some people shouted to sweep up the southern countries and unify Tianzhu.
Such words echoed in the city.
Countless people shouted.
This is the wish of all the people, and it is also the voice of countless people in the imperial capital today. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
