Liu Yuan was like a child, squatting next to Wang Guozhong, as if listening to a play, and then asked: "How do you say this?"
You must know that at the beginning Liu Yuan actually wanted to join forces with Chen Mu to defeat the Japanese, but Wang Guozhong insisted on withdrawing his troops. As for what this wise man thought, he was not very clear.
"Although this man is young, he is a rare genius in the world. If your relationship with him breaks down this time, he will definitely start a rebellion. This man has been winning over the people before, and he must know the importance of the hearts of the people in the world. Now all the people in Jiangnan
They are all waiting for him to come to the rescue. If he dares to attack Chang'an and allow the Japanese to massacre in the south of the Yangtze River, the support of the people in the world that he has built up before will fall short in an instant. Therefore, he has no way out and has to go to Yingtian to fight bloody battles."
If Chen Mu heard what this old man said at this moment, he would definitely feel as if you had predicted my prediction.
As for Liu Yuan, while feeling impressed, he asked: "Then what should we do next?"
Wang Guozhong glanced at the lakeside and said calmly: "Yizhou is empty now. When Chen Mu and Oda Guishuo are anxious to fight, lead the troops to capture Yizhou. Wait until then to see the battle situation. What about those
Has the Ministry of Industry made any new weapons?"
Liu Yuan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I spent a lot of money to bribe several craftsmen, and now I have started making it."
"Hurry up. Once Chen Mu and Oda Guishuo are almost exhausted, you can raise your troops to eliminate them together. Without these internal and external enemies, the Long Xia Dynasty will be able to revive."
After listening to Wang Guozhong's words, Liu Yuan felt that his eyes were a lot brighter. Everyone has their own position, and it doesn't matter what is right or wrong.
No matter what means he used to sit on the throne, one thing was that Liu Yuan also had a dream in his heart to be a wise king, to revive the aging dynasty and not be ashamed of his ancestors.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan immediately bowed to Wang Guozhong: "Mr. Wang, you can go to court tomorrow. This court needs you."
A touch of night wind blew by, and Wang Guozhong's gray hair was swaying. He did not refuse or put on any airs. Even though he is now sixty years old, or he was demoted and lived in the world for decades, he still has the heart that wants to do something for him.
The heart of serving the country has never changed.
Before Liu Yuan could get up, Wang Guozhong stood up and knelt down again the next moment. Then he prostrated on the ground and just said: "Old minister, I am fortunate to have lived up to my command!"
Early the next morning, when it was time to go to court, a figure that was unfamiliar to all the officials slowly walked in from the main entrance.
"Who is this person?"
"Are you an official? Why don't you even have an official robe?"
"How did this person get in?"
When he entered the Jinluan Hall again, Wang Guozhong felt extremely generous for a moment, but he knew that when he left the hall last time, he was only thirty-eight, the age at which he could make great achievements.
But when you enter the main hall again today, you are already an old man over sixty years old.
Thinking of this, Wang Guozhong smiled bitterly. The ups and downs of this life are really too interesting and boring.
Soon, Liu Yuan, who was wearing a dragon robe, slowly sat on the dragon chair. After looking at everyone, he then asked the eunuch on the side to read out the imperial edict.
"Female Wang Guozhong as Prime Minister Zuo, command the six ministries, and then grant him the title of Grand Master..."
After everyone heard the name Wang Guozhong, some young officials present still didn't react, but some veterans from the previous dynasty had their eyes widened at this moment.
"This...he is still alive!"
"Is it really Prime Minister Wang?"
You must know that the wave of reform led by Wang Guozhong turned the entire country upside down and involved almost everyone in Longxia. Even though it ended without any problem in the end, it was really impressive.
Of course, what surprised them even more was that now that he had returned to the court again, he not only took the position of chief minister of the entire dynasty, but was even awarded the highest honor of Grand Master by the emperor.
After decades of ups and downs, he finally ascended to the court and became a highly respected minister.
"I accept my order."
As Wang Guozhong slowly knelt down to accept the order and thank him, Liu Yuan stood up, looked at the officials, and said: "From today on, I announce that the new law of Long Xia will start again. Wang Guozhong is entirely responsible for it, and there must be no objections."
Wang Guozhong was already happy to be in the court again, but now that he heard that His Majesty supported him in continuing the reform, he burst into tears of joy in front of all the officials.
You must know that the new laws decades ago were all governance policies that could revolutionize the entire dynasty, but they ultimately failed due to immaturity in some details.
Being demoted was nothing to him, but the failure of the reform was like a sharp thorn that kept piercing his heart. For too many nights, Wang Guozhong reflected on the reasons for the failure of the reform. God would not
No, I gave him another chance.
And this time, he has control over the six departments and has the emperor's full support, so the implementation will be smoother.
This time, the entire Longxia Dynasty will be made great again!
"Weak minister, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Today, Yingtian City is still defended by Qi Zeguang. On this day, the Japanese army presses the border, and the long-silent war finally begins.
One hundred thousand Japanese troops directly surrounded Yingtian City and continuously attacked with artillery and flintlock guns. When the defenders above the city gate were unable to lift their heads, the swordsmen hurriedly climbed over the city wall along with the siege vehicles.
However, Yingtian City was strong and the city walls were much higher than those of ordinary cities. So the Japanese army had to take a flying ladder to climb up the city after following the carts up the building.
The bodies below the city were piled up into a human wall, and the situation above the city was even more tragic, with all the Qi soldiers lying dead on the ground.
At this time, Qi Zeguang was still standing in the smoke, constantly resisting the Japanese army's attack.
"We have no way to retreat, so we will fight to the death!"
Qi Zeguang is the military soul of the entire Qi family army. As long as he stands there, everyone has a backbone. Even if shells continue to bombard the tower and people continue to fall, everyone is still willing to die generously for the belief in their hearts.
"Fuck you thieves!"
"I will fight with you with my life!"
Seeing that they could not defeat them, some bloody Qi Jiajun grabbed two Japanese pirates and jumped towards the bottom of the city.
It was precisely because of this spirit of not fearing death that even after attacking for a day or two, this fortified city could not be captured.
The strategic location of Yingtian City is too special. If you don't take this place, you will have a lot of trouble if you want to take other cities in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Oda Guishuo is still unwilling to let go even though he has paid the price of nearly ten thousand people.
"This damn Qi Zeguang should have been killed first when he was in Yizhou!"
Oda Guishuo was so angry that he couldn't help but curse angrily. He knew that Chen Mu was coming with reinforcements. If he didn't capture Yingtian City, there would really be no chance for Chen Mu to come for reinforcements again.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, my subordinates thought that the general should be killed by concentrating artillery fire. After fighting for so long, my subordinates have finally figured out that the reason why these soldiers are so desperate is because of this man's constant encouragement. Once this man dies,
