The main hall of the imperial palace in the capital of Dongdi Kingdom
Three emergency reports in one day would rarely happen once in a month or two. As long as it happens once, all the important officials in the imperial court will rush to the palace. But now, from morning to six o'clock in the evening, everyone has been here for a whole day. I received it three times in one day, and many people were already very nervous.
"Urgent report..."
Before everyone could discuss a response plan, who knew that the fourth border emergency report had been delivered. The soldiers outside carefully handed over the memorial and then hurriedly retreated.
The emperor is in a bad mood today. He has beaten several people here and even driven away two eunuchs. It is all because of these urgent reports from the border. The people in the palace are also very discerning. If at this time If you hang around the emperor, you won't have anyone else to blame if you die, including several officials, they were all dealt with today.
It is said that the officials who were dealt with were all from the coastal defense field and did not build coastal defense facilities in accordance with the requirements of the empire. However, everyone understood that the economic situation of the empire was not very good. Although 200 million silver coins were obtained from the Daqian Empire, the entire empire There are so many places to spend money.
What's more, even if coastal defense facilities are built, there is no way to stop the Daqian Empire's fleet. Although they use cannons, anyone with some naval knowledge will know that no matter how the artillery on the fort is moved, it is impossible to defeat the fleet. The artillery on the warship is powerful.
Our fleet has been beaten to pieces, and we can't find a fleet that can fight at all. We pin all our hopes on the coastal defense artillery. This is really difficult for them, so this failure is It's normal, four cities were destroyed in one day today.
"Quickly tell me, what should we do? Are you all just a bunch of idiots? Usually there are ways here and there, and each one is more capable than the other. How do you do things now? How do you say that when the country has problems? I rely on you, can I rely on you now?"
The emperor of Dongdi Kingdom was already furious. Looking at these important officials in front of him, he wanted to pull out the sword next to him and chop them. These guys were useless from morning to night, and they didn't come up with a single useful idea.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, please tell me."
Everyone can remain silent, but the Prime Minister must stand up and speak.
Prime Minister Henggang came out immediately. This guy was also very speechless. He is not a military expert. He is only responsible for some government work. People in the military usually don't like him. Now you stand up and speak. , why should I bear it for you?
Of course, you can't say this. Now that the emperor has called your name, you have to find a way to do it, otherwise you will be beaten out with sticks just like those adults just now.
"Your Majesty, our army has reached the outskirts of Hengfu Port, but as far as I know there has been no large-scale attack, just some small-scale testing. Can we let them launch an attack immediately? 10 If several divisions all press forward, we will definitely be able to..."
Prime Minister Henggang is not a loser. He is also a very capable person in the entire Dongdi Kingdom. But the problem is that the current situation is here. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Our naval warships have been destroyed, so we can only rely on Only the army's army will do.
"Why didn't the Army attack?"
The Emperor also knows that the Prime Minister's words may be useless, but after all, he has found the right direction. If he continues to talk in this direction bit by bit, he will definitely be able to find a solution. Even if he cannot find a solution, this whole process
The time pressure of the day is very stressful, so you have to find a way to do it. Even if this method is wrong, it is much better than holding it in like this.
"Returning to the emperor, the terrain of Hengfu Port..."
"Shut up, I don't want to hear such a reason, and go and issue my imperial edict immediately. No matter what difficulties there are on the front line, Hengfu Port must be captured for me. As long as they don't have a base in our Dongdi country, they will
Sooner or later you have to go back."
The emperor could no longer listen to other explanations. Even though he knew that what these people said might be right, four cities were destroyed in one day, with more than 150,000 casualties. As for those who were injured, the statistics had not yet been calculated. Direct economic losses
A whopping 27 million silver coins.
The Dongdi Kingdom is a small country and its people are weak. Even high-ranking royal officials do not live a luxurious life in ordinary times. In order to buy a navy warship, the emperor only eats two meals from three meals a day. But is this of any use?
The war is all over.
After others saw this situation, they also shut their mouths. It seemed that the emperor could not bear today's loss and had to make some achievements. Even if he could not kill Hengfu Port, he must still
Something has to be done.
Prince Akutagawa on the front line quickly received the order. Now he no longer pays attention to tactics, let alone strategy. The emperor's meaning is very simple. Even if you rush forward with a sword, you must use this.
The port must be captured within three days, and casualties can be ignored.
It was quiet in the tent, and all the division commanders were sitting quietly. No one would stand out at this time.
They have all seen the firepower of the suppressing army. Although there are not many warships outside the port now, these warships are enough to stop the attacking army. We can't even see their trenches, they are already disabled.
Half of it.
"I don't care what method you use. This is the emperor's imperial edict. Hengfu Port must be captured within three days. Even if it costs the lives of soldiers, you must bring people up to me. From now on
Ah, there are three attack directions. Except for the seaside side, the other three sides will be attacked all the time. I would like to see how many bullets and cannonballs they have stored and exchange their bullets and cannonballs with human heads."
Prince Akutagawa knew very well how angry his father was, so in this case, he no longer had any reservations. At first, he wanted to reduce the cost, but now four cities were killed in one day. If
If it is not resolved quickly, there may be eight cities tomorrow.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians were lost today. Can hundreds of thousands of civilians be lost on the battlefield?
"Ha Yi, trade their heads for their bullets and cannonballs..."
The generals present stood up collectively and shouted Prince Akutagawa's oath.
