After hearing Li Huan's words, all the officials in the main hall became energetic.
They all bowed to the ground like Li Huan and said loudly: "The people of the world want to hand over the world to the prince! My lord deserves it!"
"My lord deserves it!"
Li Zhi raised his head and thought for a while, without answering the officials' call, and looked outside the hall again.
Outside the main hall, suddenly a correspondent rushed in.
"Your Majesty! The telegram came from Wuqing County. The 40,000 new troops from the Beijing camp have begun to approach our 6,000 Tiger and Ben troops. The distance is only five miles. It is estimated that they will open fire soon!"
Li Zhi took a breath and finally made up his mind.
"Ready your horse!"
Upon hearing this, all the officials suddenly raised their heads and looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi looked at the officials in the middle of the main hall and said slowly: "Zhu Youjian betrayed his faith and acted against his will, which is unforgivable. Since I have shouldered the expectations of the world, I will definitely do my duty. I want to restore the world and create a bright future for the people of the world.
.”
He waved his hand and stood up, shouting: "The Crown Prince Li Huan is guarding Tianjin."
Li Huan bowed his head and prostrated, and shouted loudly: "My son obeys the decree! I will defend Tianjin until my father returns in triumph!"
Li Zhi said loudly: "I want to go to Wuqing in person, command the Huben army to defeat 400,000 rebels, capture the capital, and capture Zhu Youjian alive!"
With a flick of his long sleeves, Li Zhi strode off the throne and walked quickly outside the hall.
Li Xing's eyes widened and he shouted loudly: "Officials listen to the order! Brother Wang sends out troops! The Tianjin Guards sends out troops and follows Brother Wang to send troops to Wuqing!"
The officials in the main hall only reacted at this time, and each of them looked happy and shouted loudly: "Send troops!"
"The troops are sent out!" "The troops are sent out!"
The eyes of the civil and military officials were shining, and they ran quickly, one after another following Li Zhi who strode out of the main hall. The officials were led by Li Xing, Zheng Kaicheng and Zhong Feng, and a large number of people followed behind, like
It was like a torrent heading outside Prince Qi's Mansion.
No one in the town or nine provinces wanted to miss the key battle to destroy the emperor's new army in the capital.
Halfway through the square in front of the main hall, Li Zhi's personal guards rushed up and protected Li Zhi on his left and right sides. These personal guards were all riding horses with blood-colored square flags on their backs. Those flags were flying in the early autumn wind.
There is a hunting sound, and it looks like a colorful cloud from a distance.
The horses of Li Zhi and Baiguan were led up by the guards. As Li Zhi strode forward, he put on his military uniform, put on his gorgeous prince's helmet, and put on his own sword. He rode in the small square
He got on his horse and rode out of Prince Qi's Mansion at the lead.
People from Tianjin City had already gathered outside Prince Qi's Mansion.
The people of Tianjin are actually a little worried.
Over the years, Li Zhi has always appeared to the world as a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty and as a fire-fighting captain of the Ming Dynasty. Li Zhi can be said to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Youjian repeatedly suppressed Li Zhi and bargained with Li Zhi
, but Li Zhi never showed any reluctance.
Even the Tianjin Daily, which was Li Zhi's mouthpiece, never disparaged the emperor's incompetence. If Li Zhi really had any rebellious intentions, Tianjin Daily would have scolded the emperor bloody these years.
Therefore, when the new troops from the Beijing Camp pressed into the territory, the people of Tianjin were very worried. They were worried that Li Zhi was unwilling to become a rebel and would abandon Tianjin and flee overseas to establish a country overseas.
The risk of overthrowing the old dynasty was very high. When Cao Cao and his son conquered the north and south, reorganized order, expelled Hu Di, and replaced the Eastern Han Dynasty, they could be said to have the support of the entire world. But one moment after another, the Cao family was still under attack after a thousand years.
He is cursed by the people of the world and regarded as a rebellious minister and traitor.
For Li Zhi, the overseas colonies were more vast than the Ming Dynasty. If Li Zhi cherished his feathers, he could continue to be a king overseas, and the power he lost was actually limited.
For the people of Tianjin and the people of Ming Dynasty, if Li Zhi chooses to escape and go to sea, they will lose everything.
The corrupt bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty will rule this land that has finally found its direction as before, and those despicable and shameless gentry will make a comeback. The legal protections that the people have finally obtained will be lost, and those powerful men and gentry will even intensify their efforts to take advantage of the people.
Take away everything they lost.
Return to the days of being hungry, full, and precarious like before?
The people in Tianjin are not willing. The people in one town and nine provinces are not willing.
After Zhu Youjian announced that Li Zhi was a traitor, the people in one town and nine provinces were excited. Although the people in one town and nine provinces tried their best to march on the streets, distribute leaflets, and shout slogans to express their support for Li Zhi, in the end they
The only one who has a choice is Li Zhi.
All the people could do was wait for Li Zhi's decision.
The emperor's army is getting closer and closer to Tianjin, but Tianjin Daily has never issued a crusade against the emperor, let alone an order to launch general mobilization. The people are becoming more and more anxious, and some of them even wait at the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion day and night, hoping to enter and exit through the door
The official's face showed King Qi's final decision.
They are so worried because they have personally experienced the light brought by Li Zhi. Why would they want to go back to the dark past?
So when they saw the main entrance of Prince Qi's Mansion suddenly open and countless personal guards rushing out holding banners with the Chinese character "Qi", they all stood up from the ground in surprise.
When they saw King Li Zhi of Qi dressed in military uniform, riding a horse in front of the crowd, leading the civil and military officials to march to the west front in a mighty manner, all the people in front of King Qi's Mansion burst into tears.
They raised their hands high and shouted loudly:
"Long live!"
"Long live King Qi!"
"Long live!"
In fact, Li Zhi, as the king of Qi, should not be called long live. In this era, long live only belongs to the emperor, and the honor that the prince can enjoy is only a thousand years old. But at this time, seeing Li Zhi step forward, for the sake of one town and nine provinces,
Fighting to the death against Zhu Youjian for the sake of the people of the world, they felt from the bottom of their hearts that the word "thousand years old" was no longer worthy of Li Zhi.
Long live, can only be long live.
Seeing Li Zhi galloping over without squinting, the people who were shouting long live knelt on the ground one by one, grabbing the ground with their heads, expressing their gratitude and respect with the highest etiquette of this era.
Li Zhi's queue quickly passed through the western part of Tianjin Acropolis and headed towards the Guards barracks outside the city.
Along the way, the people of Tianjin heard the news and crowded to both sides of the street to kneel to Li Zhi. Li Zhi was willing to bear the verbal and written criticism of the gentry and literati and fight to the death with the emperor, and was willing to bear the charge of rebellion for the sake of the people of the world. This was Li Zhi's gift.
The people of Tianjin give the people of one town and nine provinces the greatest benevolence.
"Long live the King of Qi!" "Long live the King of Qi!" "Long live the King of Qi!"
In the city of Tianjin, the people crowded towards the west of the city like a tide, trying to rush to the west to see Li Zhi's military uniform. In the streets and alleys, the excited people shouted "Long Live" loudly, and there was a mountain everywhere.
Hu tsunami. "Long live!" "Long live!"
"Long live!"
Li Zhi walked through the crowd of people kneeling on the ground in darkness, and finally reached the Guards barracks outside the city.
Three thousand guardsmen, all cavalry, were already fully armed and standing west of the city gate.
Li Zhi stopped his horse in front of three thousand cavalry, waved his hand and shouted: "Send troops, target the capital!"
The Guards raised their new rifles high and roared in unison: "Tiger!" "Tiger!" "Tiger!"
