Iron Dynasty

ps: There are two more chapters

A gust of wind blew in from outside the main hall.

The coolness that came to his face made Xiao Ming recover from his meditation. Now that the soldiers are fighting for him outside, he can only work hard in the fief 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 implement military service.

This kind of military service is somewhat similar to modern conscripts, that is, all people in the territory of the country must perform military service for two years.

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

With this in mind, he began to draft the "Military Service Law", ready to promote it together with agricultural taxes, so that the people would have this concept in their hearts.

That night, he and Pang Yukun met again. After the two discussed the matter, they went to the newspaper and published all the matters of agricultural taxes and military service in the newspapers, and publicized them to the people of the country the next day.

When the two were busy with internal affairs, Yue Yun, who received the order, led half of the warships to set off from Tongzhou, along the Yangtze River towards Jinling City. This time they wanted to show King Wei a little bit of color.

In order to cooperate with Ye Qingyun, Lu Fei also dispatched five thousand cavalry soldiers from Pengzhou City to Huaizhou, and for a while, there was a storm of wind and rain.

After the fall of Tongzhou, Wang Wei was bizarrely angry, but when he was about to assemble the army, news of Lu Fei's changes and battleships in the Yangtze River came one after another.

This made him immediately caught in a dilemma.

"Does naivety kill me?"

In the main hall of the Palace of the Wei Dynasty, the king of Wei sat in the first place, and below is his civil and military generals. The situation in Wei is getting worse and worse every day, and people are panicking now.

"His Royal Highness, King Qi's troops are unstoppable. We are not opponents at all. Both Pengzhou City and Tongzhou City fell in one day. This is enough to show the strength of Qi's army."

"Yeah, Your Highness, if this continues, our State of Wei is about to die, and we can't fight with King Qi like this. It is still too late to make up for the relationship with King Qi."

"His Royal Highness, for the sake of the people of Wei State, please think twice."

"..."

The officials in the main hall murmured one by one, and Wang Wei's expression gradually became embarrassed.

At this time, the young man standing at the head of the officials said: "Father, now all the officials can see clearly that we are not an opponent of Qi Wang. We can no longer fight against Qi Wang. Please father Wang send envoys to Wei. To sum up."

The young man was Xiao Han, the eldest son of King Wei. Seeing that Wei Di was eaten up every day, officials recommended Xiao Han to tell the matter to King Wei.

"Han'er, even you!" Wang Wei couldn't help feeling sad when he saw that his son was now standing with a group of officials seeking peace.

After a violent gasp, Wei Wang said, "Xiao Qi has already been sent to join King Hezongyan, King Zhao, and King Liang. Are you scared now?"

"Father, not to mention that Xiao Qi may not be able to succeed in the vertical alignment. Even if it succeeds, the preparations of the four parties are enough for Xiao Ming to fight Jinling City. Now Tongzhou has been lost, and the Qingzhou 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 elder son of King Wei, and Xiao Qi has overshadowed his edge over the years, making him almost non-existent.

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

Now because of the continual victories of King Qi's army, all the officials and generals have gradually come to his side, and his power has become stronger than ever.

"You don't need to talk about this again. Before Xiao Qi comes back, this king will not succumb to Xiao Ming." Wei Wang flicked his sleeve and walked directly outside the main hall, not paying attention to civil and military officials.

After King Wei left, the officials gathered around Xiao Han, and the Huaizhou governor said, "His Royal Highness, how can this be good? Now King Qi's iron cavalry is wandering outside Huaizhou City, and it is possible to attack the city at any time. , Wait any longer, Huaizhou City will be gone."

"Yes, yes, we Yangzhou is very close to Tongzhou, and this is also threatened by the army of King Qi in Tongzhou at any time." Another official said.

Xiao Lenglin laughed, "Father, this is not to see the coffin, not to cry, not to hit the south wall and not to look back, hum, what else can I do now, I can only wait for Xiao Qi to come back.

"

Many officials were still worried. One official said to Xiao Han: "His Royal Highness, as long as you can make King Qi stop, we will all support you."

A smile appeared on Xiao Han's mouth. He understood what these officials meant.

These people are the children of the big family in the prefectures and counties. Now they are most concerned about their one-acre three-quarters of land. Now the example of Pengzhou City is right in front of them. After losing Pengzhou City, the Mi family, Lu family and other big clans are like bereaved dogs. , Mi Wenyi was directly beheaded.

The misery of the Mi family made them feel a little bit sad. The only thing they want now is to keep their territory. Therefore, they said cryptically that they actually wanted to tell him that as long as he could make peace with King Qi, they Willing to support him in the position of King Wei.

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

"Thank you for your love, Xiao Wang knows that if the situation is critical then, you can only rely on you." Xiao Han said equally vaguely.

Many officials are now leaving, leaving behind people with the same ideas.

Everyone was talking, and suddenly a "rumbling" voice came.

This kind of voice seemed to be Thunder~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Gradually, they heard the difference, Xiao Han said: "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here, and King Qi's fleet will be here."

A group of officials had long been scared with no expression, and now the army of King Qi was pestering them like a nightmare, making their dorms uneasy.

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

With a group of officials, Xiao Han boarded the city wall. On the city wall, he looked at the river. Twelve huge warships were bombarding the pier on the shore. On the city wall, he could clearly see the white smoke and flames emerging.

King Wei also boarded the city wall at this time. Looking at this scene, King Wei's face was extremely ugly. Now he can only watch these battleships show off, and he can't make any counterattack.

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

Wang Wei's expression was still very firm. He said, "Now that it is already covered in water, it is hard to get it back. Even if you ask for peace at this time, do you think he will let his father pass by Xiao Ming's character?"
