Steel Dynasty - Chapter 635

[Chapter 634 Under the Yunzhou City]

mother and son stood facing each other in the side hall.

At this time, Concubine Zhen pulled Xiao Ming to sit down and said, “You are much more sensible than before. This will make Concubine feel at ease. You will be the emperor soon. From now on, you must consider the overall situation of the world, not just one person.” Selfishness, after all, what you hold in your hands is the whole world.”

After a pause, she continued: “Now the Great Yu Kingdom is in turmoil and is in danger. The people of Chang’an City know that the Great Yu Kingdom Building is about to collapse, and now your father is about to collapse. This mess has been thrown to you, which really makes you feel wronged, but don’t blame your father. It’s been rare for him to keep the world in chaos these years, but in the end he misjudged King Zhao.”

Xiao Mingdian .

Nodding, Concubine Zhen’s words are not alarmist. Even if he destroys Yan, Liang and Zhao, most of the north will be in ruins by then. It will take a long time to recover from recuperation, and he will also consume a lot of financial resources. Maintain stability in the North.

But even so, war is still unavoidable.

He said: “If you don’t break it, don’t establish it. The child may make the country of Chongqing change its sky.”

Concubine Zhen had a smile in her eyes. She originally only wanted Xiao Ming to live his life peacefully in the fiefdom, but now he has embarked on a completely different path. .

But no matter where Xiao Ming goes, she will still support Xiao Ming as before.

After examining Xiao Ming for a while, she said: “In that case, after you ascend the throne, the mother-in-law will take care of the concubine for you, but there is one more thing that the mother-in-law needs to talk to you about. Where will Cui Xueer live after she comes here? “

Xiao Ming was startled for a moment. He understood that Concubine Zhen was talking about the palace. After all, this palace was too small and too crowded to accommodate too many people.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: “There is nothing we can do before ascending the throne, but the child has decided to build a palace. There is an idle folk square in the south of Qingzhou City, and the child is planning to build it there.”

“This will make the mother and concubine feel at ease. This imperial city is not only It is the resting place of the emperor and the office of the ministers, so it is definitely not a child’s play,” Concubine Zhen reminded.

Xiao Ming nodded. The Qingzhou government office is indeed a bit crowded now, and many agencies are mixed together. After all, many departments have been added after the political reform, and these departments all need separate office locations.

Therefore, after considering all the circumstances, he decided to build an imperial city, which was also a transformation of Qingzhou City. For him, the traditional folk workshop model could no longer meet the needs of industrial development.

Now it is necessary to break the traditional residential settlements and establish an urban structure suitable for industrial development.

Moreover, the transformation of the city can also stimulate the development of Qingzhou’s business, which for him is killing three birds with one stone.

After briefly talking about this matter, he left from Concubine Zhen. He needed to inform the construction camp about this matter. At the same time, he also had to give the construction camp a plan of the imperial city.

For him, the construction of the imperial city needs to take into account the power issue. After all, if Qingzhou builds a power plant in the future, he does not want the imperial city to be messed up again, so it is better to reserve this part in advance.

In the afternoon, Concubine Zhen formally sent a pardon to Princess Huainan. Naturally, this pardon was about Cui Xueer. With this pardon, the matter of accepting the concubine was officially settled.

On the same day, Xiao Ming defeated King Yong and King Huainan at the same time. Although he felt a little complicated, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, because with the help of the two vassal kings, he would feel more relaxed and feel at ease. Ming once again devoted himself to the preparations for the enthronement ceremony, and now there is not much time left before he ascends the throne.

The only thing he is worried about now is the war in Yunzhou City, because this will determine the future situation in the north.

…

Yunzhou City.

With the influx of the Southern Expeditionary Army and the Dengzhou Army, soldiers in groups of three to five could be seen everywhere in this small city, and the people in the city also had a premonition that a war was coming, because they had never seen so many soldiers stationed there. Yunzhou City,

even during the Battle of Jizhou two years ago, there were only 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers in the city.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Yunzhou camp was solemn. Niu Ben arrived here two days ago with the general seal of General Zhengxi. Once the general arrived, it also meant that the war was not far away.

“There are still three days until His Highness’s enthronement ceremony. If His Highness’s enthronement ceremony goes wrong due to the war in Yunzhou City, none of you can bear it. But if we can win a big victory this time, you will definitely discuss your merits when you return. Reward.” Niu Ben said loudly.

Lu Fei, Luo Xin, Luo Hong, Qi Guangyi, Bai Mu and other generals were all in the camp. They made eye contact with fanaticism in their eyes.

After the enthronement ceremony, Xiao Ming will officially become the emperor of the Chongqing Kingdom, and conquering other vassal kings is tantamount to crusading against rebellion, and after ascending the throne, he will inevitably promote hundreds of officials and generals.

As the earliest generals who followed Xiao Ming, they were naturally the main force in this promotion, but before that, they had to ensure that the enthronement ceremony could go smoothly.

After all, King Yan, King Liang and King Zhao did not want Xiao Ming to ascend the throne, especially King Zhao. Once Xiao Ming ascended the throne, he would lose the advantage of holding the emperor to control the princes.

“Three hundred and fifty thousand people. It seems that these three vassal kings want to destroy us all.” Luo Hong looked at the sand table with a solemn expression. He had never experienced such a large-scale war.

The scouts who went to investigate came back and reported that the three kings’ army was covering the sky. In addition to the soldiers directly involved in the battle, there were also long queues of civilians transporting food.

Now the forwards of the three kings’ coalition forces have arrived and set up camp under Yunzhou City, but follow-up troops are still coming in a steady stream.

Among them, King Zhao’s 40,000 cavalry also tried to bypass Yunzhou City and go deep into the hinterland to kill, burn, and rob, but they had to abandon this plan when the cavalry led by Bai Mu pursued and intercepted them.

Because they found that no matter where they went, they would always be discovered first, and if they ventured deeper at this time, they would probably never return.

“We’re not afraid of another 350,000. When the time comes, we’ll pull out all the field artillery and beat them to a pulp.” Lu Fei roared.

Luo Xin raised his eyebrows. This time, most of the field artillery was gathered in his hands. He was gearing up for a big fight. This time, 90% of Qingzhou’s ammunition reserves were here.

Niu Ben frowned and said: “His Royal Highness told me before leaving that we would do our best to destroy the coalition forces of the three kings, so you don’t need to be merciful this time, you have to fight hard, and there are six more people this time.” Thousands of rifled flintlock muskets are in service, but because the production of the smokeless gunpowder mentioned by His Highness is very slow, black powder must be used for the time being, but even so, it is enough to defeat King Yan’s musketeers.”
