Chapter 562: Bombardment of Jinling

PS: Two more chapters

A gust of wind blew in from outside the main hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The coolness on his face brought Xiao Ming back to his senses from his contemplation, and now that the soldiers were fighting for him outside, he could only work hard in the fiefdom and develop industry to provide them with strong support.

At the same time, in order to face the current situation and future foreign wars, he decided to introduce military service.

This kind of military service is somewhat similar to modern compulsory soldiers, that is, all civilians in the feudal territory must serve two years of military service.

For him, this is not only for the reserve soldiers, but also to raise the soldier to a higher level again, so that the people can realize that being a soldier is a very glorious thing.

Thinking of this, he began to draft the "Military Service Law", which was ready to be promoted together with the agricultural endowment, so that the people would have this concept in their hearts.

That night, he and Pang Yukun met again, and after the two discussed, they went to the newspaper office, published all the agricultural and military service in the newspaper, and publicized it to the people of the feudal country the next day.

While the two were busy with internal affairs, Yue Yun, who received the order, led half of the warships from Tongzhou and headed along the Yangtze River towards Jinling City, this time they wanted to give the King of Wei a little color to see.

In order to cooperate with Ye Qingyun, Lu Fei also sent 5,000 cavalry from Pengzhou City to Huaizhou.

After the fall of Tongzhou, the king of Wei was strangely angry, but just as he was about to gather his army, Lu Fei's abnormal movements and news of warships in the Yangtze River came one after another.

This put him in a dilemma.

"Are you really going to kill me?"

In the main hall of the Wei Palace, the King of Wei sat in the first place, and below was his civil and military generals, the situation in Wei was getting worse day by day, and now the people were panicking.

"Your Highness, the King of Qi's troops are unstoppable, we are not opponents at all, Pengzhou City and Tongzhou City both fell in one day, which is enough to show the strength of the Qi army."

"Yes, Your Highness, if this continues, our Wei State will die, and we can't fight like this with the King of Qi, and now it's too late to make up for the relationship with the King of Qi."

"Your Highness, for the sake of the people of Wei, please think twice."

“……”

The officials in the main hall uttered words of peace one by one, and King Wei's face gradually became embarrassed.

At this time, the young man standing at the head of the officials came out and said: "Father, now all the officials can see very clearly, we are not the opponent of the King of Qi, and we can no longer fight with the King of Qi like this, please ask the Father to send an envoy to Wei to sue for peace." ”

The young man was Xiao Han, the eldest son of the King of Wei, and seeing that the land of Wei was being eaten away day by day, the officials elected Xiao Han to tell the King of Wei about it.

"Han'er, even you!" When King Wei saw that his son was now standing with a group of peace-seeking officials, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

With a violent gasp, King Wei said, "Xiao Qi has already sent envoys to join the King of Yan, King Zhao and King Liang, are you scared now?" ”

"Father, not to mention that Xiao Qi may not be able to succeed in joining forces, even if it succeeds, the preparation of soldiers and horses by the Quartet is enough for Xiao Ming to hit Jinling City, now Tongzhou has been lost, Qingzhou's fleet is coming to Jinling City, in case the Qingzhou army lands under Jinling City, can we support it?" Xiao Han said.

In his heart, he has always had a deep prejudice against Xiao Qi, he is the son of King Wei, and Xiao Qi has always overshadowed him over the years, making him almost non-existent.

This time, from the very beginning, he was opposed to fighting the King of Qi, and instead tried to persuade him to form an alliance with Xiao Ming, but his suggestions were all rejected.

Now, because of the successive victories of King Qi's army, a number of officials and generals have gradually sided with him, and his power has become unprecedentedly strong.

"There is no need to say this again, before Xiao Qi comes back, this king will not give in to Xiao Ming." King Wei flicked his sleeves and walked directly outside the main hall, no longer paying attention to the civil and military officials.

After the King of Wei left, the officials gathered around Xiao Han, and the Huaizhou Assassin said: "Your Royal Highness, how is this good? Now the iron cavalry of the King of Qi is wandering around Huaizhou City, and it is possible to attack the city at any time, and if it waits, Huaizhou City will be gone. ”

"Yes, yes, our Yangzhou is very close to Tongzhou, and we are also facing the threat of the army of King Qi of Tongzhou at any time." Another official said.

Xiao Leng laughed, "Father, this is not to cry when you don't see the coffin, don't hit the south wall and don't look back, hmph, what can I do now, I can only wait for Xiao Qi to come back."

Many officials were still not at ease, and one official said to Xiao Han: "Your Royal Highness, as long as you can get King Qi to quit the army, we will all support you." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Han's mouth, he understood what these officials meant.

These people are the children of the big clans in the state and county, and now they are most concerned about their own one-third of an acre of land, and now the example of Pengzhou City is in front of them, after the loss of Pengzhou City, the Mi family, the Lu family and other big clans are like lost dogs, and Mi Wenyi was directly beheaded.

The miserable situation of the Mi family made them feel a little sad, and now the only thing they wanted was to keep their territory, so they actually wanted to tell him that as long as he could make peace with the king of Qi, they were willing to support him to ascend to the position of the king of Wei.

The example of Chang'an is right in front of them, and these officials can naturally think of emulating it.

"Thank you for your love, Xiao Wang knows in his heart, if the situation is critical, he can only rely on you." Xiao Han said the same vaguely.

Now many officials have left, leaving behind people who think the same way.

As everyone was talking, suddenly there was a "rumbling" sound.

This voice seemed to be thunder from afar, and gradually, they heard the difference, Xiao Han said: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, and the fleet of the King of Qi will come." ”

The officials had already been frightened, and now the army of King Qi was haunting them like a nightmare, making their bedrooms uneasy.

Jinling City and Tongzhou are generally built along the river, but unlike Tongzhou City, Jinling City is farther away from the river.

With a group of officials, Xiao Han climbed the city wall, where he looked at the river, twelve huge warships were bombarding the dock on the shore, and on the city wall he could clearly see white smoke and fire coming out.

The King of Wei also climbed the city wall at this time, looking at this scene, the King of Wei's face was extremely ugly, and now he could only watch these warships show off their might, and he could not make any counterattack.

"Father, now you believe that King Qi's army can directly attack Jinling City from here." Xiao Han persuaded: "Father, it's still too late to form an alliance with King Qi. ”

King Wei's expression was still very firm, and he said: "Now that it is difficult to recover, even if he sues for peace at this time, with Xiao Ming's character, do you think he will let his father go?" ”
