In the side hall of the palace, Marquis Dingjun and others received the news that Qin Yi had returned safely and was leading his troops to fight on the southern front. They all became beaming and full of joy.
The previous worries suddenly disappeared.
This news can be regarded as two pieces of good news. It means that Qin Yi is safe and sound, and it also means that with Qin Yi in charge, there will be no big defeat on the front line.
I just don’t know if Dali will send Gu Yulan to fight.
With Qin Yi's ability, it shouldn't be too difficult to face the new and old top generals of Dali.
Suppressing his thoughts, Marquis Dingjun continued to browse the letters, his brows suddenly furrowed like the word "Chuan".
When everyone saw his serious expression, they all became confused.
Could it be that there were major injuries on the front line?
Everyone was about to ask questions when they saw a letter from Marquis Dingjun. The Minister of War quickly took it and began to read it.
After reading it, the Minister of the Ministry of War looked solemn and frowned like a Marquis of Dingjun.
The other ministers became more and more surprised and did not ask any more questions. They accepted the letter one after another and circulated it continuously.
After watching them all, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was shocked. They never expected that besides Da Li, Lin Zhan would have enemies of life and death!
No, not just Linzhan, but the entire Cang Yuan Continent, and all Yuan clans will face formidable enemies!
And this enemy is so sharp that Qin Yi commented that "only with the help of Cang Yuan can we have a chance of victory."
But damn, facing such a formidable enemy, Dali still dared to raise troops!
This Emperor Dali is really ignorant! Stupid!
With a long sigh, Marquis Dingjun said, "Publish this news slowly, but remember to hide part of it. Don't reveal the fact that Xiang Rong is too powerful, lest the people panic."
"Everyone should know that there is a powerful enemy ahead. It is useless to be afraid. We should be prepared and accumulate strength for the sake of millions of people and for the victory over the foreign tribes!" Marquis Dingjun said in a deep voice.
The six ministers all looked extremely solemn and nodded together.
King Mu rebelled and Zhanjing fell. This kind of suffering has enhanced their ability to withstand pressure. How can they be easily intimidated?
They know that by following Qin Yi and rising up together, they may be able to turn the tide from collapse and help the building from collapse.
Seeing that everyone was not too afraid, Ding Junhou nodded, glanced at the Minister of War, and said, "I once talked with the prince and heard him talk about several ways to strengthen the country's strength. One of them is military garrison.
, our government has already implemented it.”
"But there is another way, which is very good. The prince calls it a militia system, which can recruit strong men. After childbirth, in their free time, they can gather into a group to practice martial arts and weapons, and practice battle formations. When the war comes, they can
Directly become soldiers, receive pay, and fight for the country."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately surprised. They were not stupid and naturally understood that this method was extremely wonderful.
It can not only allow more people to engage in farming and recuperate at this moment, but also train more soldiers at the same time. When the aliens invade and war breaks out, more troops will be available and put into use immediately without the need for time-consuming training! Qin Yi is really a god, he can think of all these methods!
Seeing that everyone understood, Marquis Dingjun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this method is actually a good strategy. Although Your Majesty did not propose to implement this method in this letter, I feel that it should be implemented as soon as possible to avoid falling into trouble."
What do you think of the situation where there are no soldiers available?"
Many ministers nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty, this method is indeed a wonderful strategy and should be implemented."
It can train soldiers and horses without affecting farming and production. Why not?
Seeing that everyone agreed, Marquis Dingjun said, "In that case, I will send a letter to the prince to seek his opinion. If there are no problems, we will implement a militia system in the 156 cities of the nine prefectures in the whole dynasty!"<
/p>
Then, he looked at Si Qimei and asked, "Si Shangshu, I wonder how the planting of new crops is progressing? In the future, in addition to military strength, food and grass will also be the key to whether our country can defeat the enemy. We must take it seriously.
."
Si Qimei nodded and said, "Yuan Gong rice and sweet potato seedlings have been cultivated and will soon be planted in the royal fields. As long as they bear fruit, they can be widely planted in the Gyeonggi area and then expanded to surrounding prefectures and counties."<
/p>
Marquis Dingjun nodded. Si Qimei always felt at ease when doing things, so he looked at the Minister of War and the Minister of Industry, "Two adults, set up the armaments camp as soon as possible so that we can go all out to build heavy weapons. There should be no delay."<
/p>
The two ministers nodded and said, "I have been supervising this matter recently. I must not be lazy!"
Marquis Dingjun nodded, "In addition, armor, stomach, arrows... all military supplies must be reserved and cannot be left out."
Everyone nodded with solemn expressions.
Marquis Dingjun stopped making any sound, and the palace became extremely quiet.
At this moment, Ding Junhou was thinking about the current situation.
Tianyou was hit by a locust plague, and the land was starved to death. He has never recovered his strength.
The Dajing rebellion has not been put down, and the country is already riddled with holes.
Liukang is half-waste but not in ruins, and wars are frequent.
However, Da Li started a war without authorization and invaded Linzhan. The entire Cang Yuan was already raging with war and fell into a chaotic situation that had never happened in hundreds of years.
If Xiangrong invades at this moment, it will be a great disaster for the Yuan clan!
I just don’t know if Qin Yi can lead Linzhan and make every effort to change this tired situation.
Marquis Dingjun has always believed that Qin Yi was born and became the second god of war in hundreds of years. His mission was to end this chaotic situation.
Turn this chaotic world into a prosperous one.
It is not impossible to move from division to unity.
But now, with Xiangrong disrupting the situation and adding unknown factors, everything has become complicated and confusing.
No one can be sure what the future will be like.
Sighing softly and suppressing his thoughts, Marquis Dingjun spoke up, breaking the silence in the palace, "The prince also told me that if Linzhan is faced with danger, he can build high walls, accumulate grain, and build Zhanjing into a great city."
It can become a strong fortress and retain part of its strength when crisis strikes, providing Linzhan with the possibility of a comeback."
"After finishing speaking, the prince smiled and said that no one in Cang Yuan could put Linzhan into such a situation. But now, the Xiang Rong suddenly appeared. This clan is powerful and has a huge number. They may have this ability, so I
I think this plan should be launched. What do you think?"
The Minister of Industry responded, "It is not a wrong decision to increase the number of fortifications, thicken the city walls, and improve Zhanjing's defense capabilities at any time."
"Indeed, the capital of one dynasty should have stronger resistance capabilities." The Minister of War responded.
Si Qimei pondered for a moment and said, "The lower official suggested that the defense of Zhanjing can be increased, but it should not be too laborious for the people and money."
Marquis Dingjun nodded, "Indeed...since you guys have no objections, I will send a letter to the prince and let him make the decision."
He knew that Qin Yi could think of everything he could think of, and the other party didn't say anything, just because he had some concerns.
But now, he and the ministers of various ministries feel that this should be done and have put forward suggestions. If there are no major problems, Qin Yi will generally not veto it.
Presumably Qin Yi would approve of the militia system and the reinforcement of Zhanjing.
Then they talked about some things, and after finishing the discussion, Marquis Dingjun handed the secret letter to Chen Yu.
The other party will follow Qin Yi's instructions and lead the newly recruited 150,000 troops to Dingyue Army Town.
The secret message can be delivered by him.
In this way, we can ensure that the secret message will be delivered to Qin Yi.
……
"Squeak...bang!" "Squeak...bang!"
Two miles away from the city, several catapults were making explosive noises and shooting continuously.
Many stones flew out and hit the wall of Jingche City.
This city is made of blue bricks and has extremely strong protective power. Even after being hit by many stone bullets, there were only some dents and did not collapse.
Inside the city, Hengyu was shouting orders, "Quick, counterattack with catapults!"
Within a few days, he demolished the abandoned wooden houses in the city, built a second-generation single-tipped catapult, and started shooting at each other with the enemy soldiers.
Numerous stones flew across the air at high speed, coming and going in an extremely chaotic manner, either hitting the city wall or hitting the War King's position.
I don’t know how long it took, but the latest catapults produced by the two parties were destroyed in turn during the mutual attacks, just like the previous batches.
Hengyu already knew that next, the enemy soldiers would begin to attack the city as usual.
Sure enough, seeing that the catapult had little effect and was destroyed, the King of War immediately ordered an attack on the city!
The officers and soldiers of the former army roared and rushed towards Jingche City.
The guards on the city wall quickly drew their bows and fired arrows, and the arrows fell like rain.
In an instant, many Dali soldiers were killed and injured. Those who were hit by arrows fell to the ground one after another, wailing endlessly.
But many soldiers were rushing in a hurry. The King of War had already said that the first person to climb the city wall would be rewarded with a hundred golds and a fourth-rank official title!
For those who die during the journey, the pension will be doubled!
After the city was broken, let them wreak havoc for three days!
Such huge profits can naturally drive them, like tigers and wolves, not afraid of dangers.
Even though there were many casualties, there were too many soldiers from Dali. It didn’t take long for them to rush to the bottom of the city wall and start climbing.
Hengyu, wearing armor and stomach, personally supervised the battle on the city wall. When he saw the enemy soldiers climbing up the ladder, he shouted loudly, "Use all the gold juice, hot oil, and rolling wood!"
Immediately, some soldiers brought boiling gold juice and hot oil and poured it on the enemy soldiers' heads, causing ear-splitting howls.
The King of War has launched this kind of siege battle many times within a few days, so the defenders are not as panicked as they were at the beginning, and their movements are extremely agile and skillful.
They all know that the King of War has issued an order that if the city of Jingche does not surrender, it will be massacred after the city is broken.
And Hengyu also told everyone that the War King regarded human life as nothing, and even if he surrendered, the people in the city would have no way to survive.
It can be seen from this that the only way out is to defend with all your strength.
Everyone also knows that Qin Yi is on the southern front, and Ping Yulong is outmatched and will come soon to attack the King of War together.
Therefore, as long as we wait until Qin Yi arrives, we will win!
This was the belief supported by many guards. Therefore, they repelled the enemy soldiers several times and guarded the city head.
And this time, as usual, we will not retreat.
Even if it costs a lot, it doesn’t matter.
Because the price paid by the enemy soldiers will be even greater!
