Chapter 1425 Chu country, the most beautiful country
Inside the royal study.
Jiang Shangzhi's words made the Emperor of Chu think deeply. The construction of the Protectorate City was at the critical moment of the Chu State. It was built in all four directions, and the military and government were both solid. In addition, Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling proposed the system of prefectures and counties to consolidate the imperial power. Only in this way can it be done
Let the rule of Chu be impregnable.
The Emperor of Chu opened the construction drawings of the Protectorate City drawn by Jiang Shang. The ministers described it very clearly. Starting from the southeast, northwest and four directions, starting from the border city as the base, four giant cities stretching for hundreds of miles were built to resist the foreign enemies of the Tartars.
.
"Your Majesty, no one has long-term worries but short-term worries. At present, our Chu State is at its peak, and its strength is slightly better than that of the second-grade empire, but it is still only a weak country on the mainland. The minister and all of you have jointly reviewed the period of Emperor Longtian and War King Chitai.
Ancient books, with Wu Chu's current strength, there is no way he can aspire to dominate the world and achieve a lasting legacy."
"Wei Chen, I hope your majesty will not be too eager to make progress. Stabilizing and strengthening the strength of Chu State is the current way to develop!"
Jiang Shang spoke again. On one side, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, and Liu Bowen all echoed their words. The intentions of the ministers were very clear. Now the Chu State is not the same as in the past. It has a great reputation and is not afraid of other countries coming to subvert it, so it is just a good opportunity to strengthen its foundation and reserves.
Strength and make long-term plans for the future.
The Emperor of Chu agreed very much with the advice of the ministers, and the construction of the four-sided guard city was ready to be handed over to the Ministry of Industry. After the New Year, Jiang Shang, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, and Liu Bowen began to take charge of the four-sided guard city in the southeast, northwest and northwest respectively.
Build.
at the same time.
The Emperor of Chu decided to abandon the city occupied by the Qin Army of the Xuantian Empire, and put all the generals Yue Fei, Ran Min, Bai Qi, Li Cunxiao, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing into the three empires of Wuling, Tubo, and Ancient Rome to occupy the land of the Three Kingdoms in the shortest possible time.
, complete the unification of the third-grade empire.
As for the four second-level empires of Longxiao, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, they have been defeated one after another. I believe they have begun to re-examine the strength of the Chu State. Emperor Chu very much hopes that the four kingdoms will have self-awareness and withdraw their troops to defend their own territory. If they want to wait for an opportunity again
If he launches an attack on Chu State, he doesn't mind freeing up his hands to annex them together.
"I will leave it to you to build the cities of Ziya, Zifang, Kongming, Bowen, and the four districts. Before the end of the year, you will draw the city blueprints. When the spring comes, the flowers will bloom, and then we will start the construction."
"Your Majesty, will such a large-scale construction project harm the country?"
"Xuanling, building the four defense cities is considered a major construction project. Now our Chu state treasury is abundant. Let alone building four cities, even forty cities will not affect the country's foundation at all."
The words of Emperor Chu's tyranny spread, and indeed it was true. Currently, Chu's national treasury was abundant, and the gold and silver wealth taken from other countries by conquering it had already changed the state of Chu. It no longer had to worry about gold and silver.
The Emperor of Chu has always believed that attacking cities and plundering territories is the way to strengthen a country. It can continuously support war with war, enhance the combat effectiveness of soldiers, and at the same time, it can also quickly expand the national treasury.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling's worries simply do not exist.
After receiving the imperial edict from Emperor Chu, all the ministers raised their fists and saluted. After expressing gratitude, they left the imperial study room one after another. It was obvious that they needed to be busy for a while before the new year.
Shen Kuo and Zhang Heng finally left. Emperor Chu asked them to stay and gave them the method of making a hot air balloon, hoping that they could improve on the original method and make a hot air balloon that could be used in the military field.
On that day, Emperor Chu saw the Nine-Dragon Coffin made by the Feng Mo Sect, and he had the idea of using hot air balloons in the military field. During this time, he finally compiled all the information about the hot air balloons and handed them over to Shen Kuo and Zhang Heng.
, Emperor Chu believed that through the efforts of everyone in the Academy of Sciences, the manufacturing of hot air balloons would be completed.
............
In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed since the earthquake ended, and it is now approaching the end of the year. Battle reports from various places have arrived in the Beast Imperial City. At this time, Zhongshu ordered the battle reports from various places to be sent to the Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Chu had just withdrawn from the swallowing Chaos Dragon Stone, and was still anxious to check the changes in his cultivation. Outside the palace, Xiao Guizi's report came.
A little while.
Xiao Guizi sent the battle report into the palace. Emperor Chu sat in front of the wooden case and began to check. The Sima Cuo army that was confronting Yue Fei and Ran Min in the Xuantian Empire had withdrawn from the Xuantian Land half a month ago. Now the entire Xuantian Empire has
It completely fell into the hands of the Chu army.
After Xuantian's great victory, Chu's territory was once again extended. Compared to all second-tier empires, the Chu Emperor raised his hand and put down the memorial. His brows were filled with joy, and he decided to reward Generals Yue Fei and Ran Min.
After that, I once again checked the military reports from Dajin City. Under the defense of the ancient Romans and the Great Khan's army, the Chu army was unable to advance. Coupled with the falling wind and snow, Xue Rengui and Hua Mulan finally led the army to withdraw.
Emperor Chu was obviously not surprised at all. On the contrary, the two armies of Long Yan Dayue, Xue Rengui, and Hua Mulan were able to keep the ancient Rome and the Great Khan Empire against each other for so long, which is enough to show how powerful they were. Although they did not capture ancient Rome, they had once conquered it.
Taking nine passes and ten cities, the power of the Chu army has spread throughout ancient Rome. They are already afraid, otherwise they will not come to the rescue of the First-Rank Great Khan Empire.
Xue Rengui, Hua Mulan's army's original strategic plan was to capture the Jin Empire and deter ancient Rome, and now it has achieved results.
As for the war in Shunming County, the Allied Forces of the Four Kingdoms withdrew from the Longxiao Empire and returned with their own troops. However, Xiang Yu lost Youxie Prefecture and now led his army to rely on the Chu army.
"Xiao Guizi, pass on my edict and order Bai Qi, Li Cunxiao, and Ming Guogong to lead the troops back to the Beast Imperial City, and at the same time take Overlord Xiang Yu with them."
"As for the other generals from various places, they will continue to guard the cities under their jurisdiction. When the troops return to the court in the future, I will reward them together."
"Slave, let's do it now!"
Xiao Guizi took the order and left. Emperor Chu chuckled lightly, stood up and left the imperial study, striding towards the harem.
at the same time.
In the border city of Shunming County, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Cunxiao, Wang Yanzhang, Yang Dayan, and Xu Da were walking on the long street. As far as they could see, they were all people who had fled from the Northern Song Dynasty Empire. They were dressed in ragged clothes. After several days
After fleeing, he was already hungry, and his figure was covered with frostbite.
At this time, the Chu army was distributing clothes and porridge to the refugees. When everyone saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Cunxiao approaching, they all knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
"You don't need to thank us. All this is my emperor's will. When one party is in trouble, all parties will support you. The people of the world should be one family."
"From now on, you will stay in Minghua City and find some livelihood to live in peace of mind. You will no longer have to worry about natural disasters or man-made disasters."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to signal the people on both sides of the long street to stand up. The powerful voice spread, and he admired Emperor Chu more and more in his heart. In his heart, Emperor Chu seemed to be able to predict the future and asked them to stock up on food and grass in advance, so that they could all be used now.
In just ten days, at least 300,000 people fled from the Northern Song Empire to Shunming, and more people continued to come. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that after this disaster, the Northern Song Empire was completely in name only, and there were not many people left.
Still a country?
certainly.
The news that Emperor Chu sent troops to the Northern Song Dynasty to deliver food, grass and baggage, as well as medical teams to treat the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, spread like wildfire in these ten days, spreading to every corner of the war continent.
For a time, Emperor Chu became famous all over the world, and people all over the world called him a holy king. He claimed that Chu was the most beautiful country, and everyone yearned for it. (To be continued)
