The expressions of the ministers changed drastically, and there was an uproar.
Even the town navy has to be transferred.
You must know that the two ace elite and invincible legions in the East are the Kuntian Army and the Zhenjun Navy.
The two are used differently.
Zhen Haijun guards the border and coastal defense to guard against possible attacks by Qi State.
Because of their garrison, Qi State launched countless wars, but could never take a step forward.
Moreover, the town customs office also guards a large number of elites.
What's more, now, because of the Kuntian Battle, a large number of powerful people have been transferred from the Eastern Territory, and many places are empty.
Once even the navy is gone, then the border...
Qin Hai saw everyone's reaction and said coldly: "Why, you all have different opinions. Prime Minister Xiao, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, since the civil strife started, Qi State has been eyeing the opportunity to break through. If we transfer the Zhenhai Navy and lose their guard, I firmly believe that the Qi State will not miss this opportunity and they will capture Zhenhai. Sweeping through all the counties in the eastern border, if that happens, the consequences will be unpredictable!"
Xiao Chenghai was called out and had to speak.
The state of Qi is like an evil dragon, watching with eager eyes, and its greed has suppressed the customs for too long.
The town customs also controls the sea areas in all directions.
Although the imperial court has been attacked and plundered recently, he doesn't care. After all, it is the possession of the Eighteenth Prince. No matter how you attack, the meat is in his own pot, and it is not cheap for outsiders.
But.
Qi cannot do this.
With Zhenguan, Qi will make Daqian lose a lot of coastline.
His words made Qin Hai extremely dissatisfied and aroused the emperor's anger.
"Then Xiao Aiqing thinks that Zhen Haijun cannot be transferred."
Qin Hai said in a low voice.
"It's not that it can't be adjusted, but we need to think twice about it. The location of the town customs office is too critical."
Xiao Chenghai said ambiguously.
"Xiao Aiqing, there are some things that I can tolerate, but there are some that I cannot!"
Qin Hai looked coldly at Xiao Chenghai: "You think I don't know the importance of Zhenguan, but as the current prime minister, you know the key to the Kuntian Front."
"To fight foreign forces, we must first stabilize the interior. If the interior is unstable, how can we stabilize the outside? If Kuntian is defeated, I will lose the entire Eastern Territory in one fell swoop and be captured by the rebels. At that time, if I keep the navy to suppress the enemy, can I still stop the rebels? "
"Moreover, as long as I suppress the rebels and the whole country is united, we can still drive Qi into the sea!"
"The price of this moment is worth it."
Qin Hai said.
He understands that if Qin Yu takes over the Eastern Territory, all the people's hearts will belong to him.
But Qi has no popular support.
Xiao Chenghai was silent.
"In addition, I feel that this is not enough. Let the Li family of the Western Region go to Kuntian. In addition, all the elite legions must rush to help Kuntian in the shortest possible time without any mistakes!"
Qin Hai actually wanted to mobilize the elites of the Western Region.
After hearing this, Xiao Chenghai said: "The war in the east has made the borders of Daqian unstable. The west is facing the threat of Zhao. Now the troops deployed are almost reaching their limit. If we further mobilize the major armies, the west will be empty."
"Among the ten kingdoms, Zhao and I, Dagan, are world enemies. The two sides have fought countless battles for thousands of years. Zhao's army is as fierce as tigers and wolves. Without the soldiers guarding the west, if Zhao's army crosses the Changping front, the butcher's knife will surely strike. If we gather the people together, by then, there may be wars all over the Western Region."
Xiao Chenghai knew that the Zhao army was more brutal than the Qi army.
He thought of the Eighteenth Prince, who sent troops to sweep away the barbarians before attacking, to frighten the barbarians and Daqian. This was the truly wise monarch.
"I also ask your Majesty to take back your orders. We cannot mobilize troops from the Western Region. The Zhao State has stationed troops in Changping. There will be a big war in the Western Region. At that time, the foundation of our army will be really shaken."
One by one, the old ministers came out, hoping that Qin Hai would not touch the troops in the western border.
"You are questioning my decision!"
Qin Hai stared at these people and then looked at Xiao Chenghai.
"I don't dare, I'm worried about Da Qian!"
Xiao Chenghai said.
"If you worry about Daqian, will you worry about me?"
Qin Hai said coldly: "Xiao Xiang, you are old and tired. After today, I will give you a break and go home to rest. Your work will be left to Lu Rong."
"I obey the decree!"
Xiao Chenghai did not regret losing his appearance, and was even more afraid of the changes in the future.
But Lu Rong laughed and gave him leave. That would basically mean he left the Daqian Court, and he would be the prime minister from now on.
"Who else has a different opinion!"
Qin Hai glanced at the officials.
There were also loyal ministers who came out, hoping that Qin Hai would take back his orders and not use troops like this.
But the result was that Qin Haidu temporarily dismissed them from official positions.
Qin Hai couldn't persuade him, so the officials didn't say much.
"I have made up my mind, obey it!"
Qin Hai said.
"According to the order!"
The meeting dispersed and the situation changed.
At this point, it is no longer just a battle for the throne.
...
Town Customs.
Towering and majestic.
Standing at the pass, the sea breeze blows in my face, and I see the endless desert sea.
On the other side of the deserted sea is Daqi.
The State of Qi was founded on the deserted sea and was good at naval warfare. It was the most powerful in naval warfare among the ten kingdoms, and Da Qian used this to build a great empire.
"Are you all ready?"
A general wearing dark blue armor looked at the sea and said to the deputy general next to him.
He Xie Ziyue, a quasi-legendary strongman, is the current commander-in-chief of the Zhenhai Navy.
"Everything is ready, General, do we really want the whole army to go to Kuntian Pass?"
The lieutenant general beside him said worriedly: "I heard that the Qi State has gathered troops and horses, ready to march at any time. If we leave, the town customs will fall under their control, and some officers in the army are very dissatisfied when they heard that they are going to Kuntian. "
"This is His Majesty's order and we cannot disrespect it."
Xie Ziyue said.
He served as the commander-in-chief of the Zhen Navy for a short period of time.
When Qin Hai ascended the throne, he transferred the original leader, Ling Tianxu, and purged and replaced many people.
Because he knew that Ling Tianxu and Qin Yu had a close relationship.
"Those who disobey military orders will be subject to military tactics. At critical moments, they can be executed!"
Xie Ziyue said forcefully.
If it were Ling Tianxu, even if he wouldn't directly defect to the Eighteenth Prince, he still wouldn't obey the order.
But he is different, he was promoted by Qin Hai.
"As you command!"
Zhen Haijun was transferred away.
Xie Ziyue also took away the legendary artifact, Zhenhai Pearl, and joined the Kuntian battlefield.
Also transferred with them were the elite regiments around the town customs, as well as the defenders and strong men from the entire eastern border counties.
The town customs house is empty except for some remnants of soldiers.
In the Western Region.
Facing the same situation.
Qin Hai had also been wary of this situation before and replaced some disobedient ones who were close to Qin Yu, so after his order was issued, elite troops rushed to the Kuntian Mountains.
Even though they knew that the transfer of the army would bring huge hidden dangers, there was nothing they could do under the imperial edict.
"Even Prime Minister Xiao has been laid off."
"As we set out from the Kuntian Mountains, there will be a huge war in the west. Rivers of blood will flow, and white silk ribbons will be hung on every house. Zhao's tiger and wolf soldiers will never let go of this opportunity. They are waiting for this opportunity!"
Li Jian sighed.
He wanted to submit a memorial.
However, Qin Hai said that he must first calm down the enemy before going abroad, and blocked him back.
This disappointed him.
"Master!"
Many Li family members have sad faces.
"I don't care about the battle between Kuntian and Tianjin. I only care about the Western Region. No matter how Kuntian fights, it will be an internal fight between Daqian. At this time, we must keep an eye on Zhao."
"It is hard to disobey the emperor's order. We, the Li family, must obey it. However, the room for maneuver is too large. We cannot listen to everyone. We must express our position. Only some people are removed. This is also an order. When we arrive in the East, we must act according to the current situation. Don’t start a war unless it’s absolutely necessary!”
"The biggest enemy in the Western Land is always the State of Zhao!"
"At the same time, be prepared for war with Zhao!"
Li Jian solemnly ordered.
"We understand."
The clan elders nodded.
"This is the chaos of Daqian, and it is also the danger of Daqian. I hope this war can end as soon as possible, and the country cannot continue to be in such chaos."
Li Jian sighed.
He knew that after successive defeats, the current Holy Emperor was approaching a moment of madness. This chapter has been completed!
