Chapter 257: All People Participate in the War of Resistance
In the Wei State, all the common people began to unite as one and try their best to resist the Jin goods. When things developed to this point, everyone in the Wei State felt that Bai Qi had done nothing wrong by killing the prisoners.
On the contrary, they all felt that this matter was correct. The humiliation that the Wei State had suffered was so great that it was not easy to feel proud. As the people of the Wei State, they must support it to the end.
Even if the court now asks the people to donate money and food, they will not hesitate.
The public opinion on the Jin side is getting worse day by day, and they are all opposing Wei's atrocities. Of course, Zhao Changqing does not care about these things.
Strictly speaking, when Chen Qingzhi conquered several border towns in the Jin Kingdom, he stood up to resist and was not considered a proactive attack.
But this time it was different. This time they took the initiative to attack the Jin army.
In a pavilion in the Imperial Garden.
Zhao Changqing and Bai Qi are sitting here feeling the first spring breeze of this year.
This year is the first year of Taichu.
It will be an epoch-making beginning.
The former was calm and composed, while the latter was a little frightened and even at a loss.
This was Bai Qi's first time drinking tea and discussing Taoism with His Majesty the Emperor up close, so it was normal for him to be a little uneasy.
After Zhao Changqing took a sip of tea, he said to Bai Qi: "Tell me, why did you kill the prisoners some time ago?"
He didn't mean to blame Bai Qi.
Bai Qi could also hear the tone of the question, and he felt deep in his heart and told the truth: "Reporting to Your Majesty, at that time, the general only felt that if all those 100,000 prisoners were killed, the Jin country would definitely be beaten.
Then they were asked to re-examine the war situation, but they did not expect that things have developed to this day and have actually risen to the level of a national war. The general is really guilty!"
After saying that, he actually knelt on the ground with one knee, looking calm and ready to be punished at any time.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Changqing actually smiled and said: "Get up, I don't mean to blame you. In fact, I very much agree with your approach. If it weren't for you, it would be difficult for Wei State to declare a full-scale war with Jin State."
Bai Qi did not fully understand the meaning of the emperor's words and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty is saying that you have long been interested in declaring war with Jin?"
Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "Yes, the moment the Jin State gathered millions of troops near the Changliu Mountains, I intended to take advantage of this opportunity to completely defeat the Jin State."
Anyway, no matter what, he couldn't tell Bai Qi that most of the reasons why he did this were because he wanted to earn mediocre points.
Bai Qi was still a little confused and continued to ask: "But will your Majesty's actions allow the Chu State to take advantage of it?"
After all, it is not uncommon to sit on a mountain and watch a tiger fight, and the fisherman to benefit from it.
However, Zhao Changqing did not care at all and said: "The Chu State is no longer the Chu State when Emperor Wu of Chu was alive. The Chu State of that year would not be weak even if it competed with Tang State, the current hegemon of the world. But now.
?The foreign power has long been responsible for the internal affairs. Once I have solved the Jin State, I will naturally let go of the Chu State."
This is the true thought in his heart. He wants to dominate the world in the shortest possible time, and the surrounding countries must defeat them one by one as soon as possible.
When Zhao Changqing finished speaking in a supreme tone that pointed out the country, a blueprint instantly appeared in Bai Qi's mind, which was the war and territory of the Wei Kingdom that would spread to various places in the future.
At this moment, he didn't know why, but he inexplicably believed in the unparalleled emperor in front of him.
He solemnly clasped his fists at him and said: "The final general will definitely follow His Majesty to the death!"
Zhao Changqing personally helped him up, patted his shoulder and said, "Go, it's not too late to go. Cao Guogong is missing a strong general like you."
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound, and then he was overjoyed. He quickly bowed to His Majesty the Emperor and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will leave now!"
After saying that, he left here under Zhao Changqing's eyes.
After a while.
Jia Xu and Zhao Gao came to him.
Zhao Changqing said to the two of them: "I called you here today because I have something to tell you."
The two looked at each other, then clasped their fists and said in unison: "Please give me your Majesty's orders!"
Zhao Changqing said seriously: "The major and important cases currently being closely watched by the factory guards and Jin Yiwei will be put aside for now.
I want you two to spy on the Jin army at all costs from now on, and cooperate with Chen Qingzhi, Zhao Yun, and Cao Shen to defeat the Jin army.
Remember, in the face of the interests of the family and the country, I don’t want to hear any more news about the overt and covert fights between your royal guards and the factory guards. Now I need you to work together to assist the army and win this battle."
Although it is said that the reason for launching the war with the Jin army was due to the stupidity value.
But this does not mean that Zhao Changqing hopes that the final result of this war will be that Wei will lose.
In the past few days, Zhao Changqing has heard more than once about the fight between the Jin Yiwei and the factory guards.
In the face of a formidable enemy, he did not want the internal forces within the country to cause further division.
After Zhao Gao and Jia Xu heard this, they both knelt down on the ground and said in unison: "Wei ministers (servants) accept the order!"
After that, the two David's organizations really worked together. Not only did they exchange information, they even opened convenient doors for each other, acted together, and spied on military intelligence together.
Deqing Palace.
Princess Jinyang lives here.
Of course, she is now the virtuous concubine of the Wei Kingdom.
At noon today, Zhao Changqing is eating here.
While enjoying lunch, Concubine Zhen Mi said nothing.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she has something on her mind.
Zhao Changqing put down the bowl and chopsticks and said to Zhen Mi: "I took the initiative to provoke a war with your mother country. What do you think of this matter?"
Zhen Mi seemed to be frightened by this question. There was still food in her chopsticks, but she was stunned and at a loss.
Zhao Changqing asked again: "You knelt in front of the Xuanzheng Palace two days ago, did you want to persuade me not to start a war?"
Zhen Mi put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and knelt down to Zhao Changqing, saying: "Your Majesty is a wise king because of his martial virtues. His actions must have profound meaning, but I am a woman who has great influence on the country."
I don’t really understand Ce, I just know that if a war breaks out between the two countries, the people of the two countries will suffer in the end.”
Zhao Changqing never expected that Zhen Mi, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, would have such knowledge. It was really unexpected.
No wonder, after all, people in this world are very precocious.
Zhao Changqing didn't want to continue eating this lunch. He came to Zhen Mi and said, "I'm very happy that you can think like this. I hope you really think like this. Remember, no matter when and where
Earth, you must clearly understand your current identity, Concubine Wei De!"
After saying this, Zhao Changqing left here.
Zhen Mi watched the emperor's leaving figure, thinking deeply in her heart, then she knelt down and bowed, and said loudly: "I respectfully see you off to your majesty!"
In the Xuanzheng Hall, Zhao Changqing summoned Xiao Yuming.
After seeing him, he said: "The battle with Jin directly transferred 600,000 of our elite troops from the Wei Dynasty. The military strength was a bit stretched for a while, so I want you to recruit more troops. We have tentatively recruited 300,000 troops."
Xiao Yuming frowned and said: "It's time to dig a canal, fight a war, and recruit troops. If everything comes together, will there be any unpredictable troubles?"
Zhao Changqing shook his head and said: "What trouble can happen? Don't worry, just follow my instructions."
Xiao Yuming had no choice but to nod and retreat.
In fact, it was Zhao Changqing who made everything happen on purpose.
