Chapter 1033 1034 Falling shells
Du Jia is a little nervous now, because he has too many high-ranking officials of the Dahua Empire in his hands, and he doesn't know if he is really sure to protect so many important targets.
In fact, he had approached Shen Chuan, the Minister of War of the Great China Empire, before, but Shen Chuan had not appeared in the safe zone he had set up yet. He also sent people to look for him, but he still hasn't received any news of the return.
According to theory, everyone in the Tang Empire has to give face, but giving face is one thing, but if there is an accident, it is another thing.
In the safety zone set up by the Tang Empire in the north of the city, Chu Muzhou was discussing the current situation with Chen Jing and Wang Yucai. They all believed that if Li Mingshun could not defeat Zhao Jie in a short period of time, it would be difficult to say where the imperial capital would belong.
"Obviously, Zhao Jie's follow-up is stable. Li Mingshun was a little slow in mobilizing troops from other places. Zhao Ji...don't mention it." Although Chen Jing, as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, does not have such a sensitive military sense, he now has There is really too much information obtained here.
Silver Fox provided almost everything that happened nearby: Zhao Ji abandoned the front line and returned to the imperial capital. It seemed that he was very fast, but his stamina was really insufficient.
Zhao Yu was right behind him. If Zhao Chen restrained Zhao Yu, Zhao Ji might still have some chances. But just now, they received news from the Tang Empire that Zhao Chen's troops had surrendered. .
Now, excluding Zhao Chen's troops, the troops pressing down from the direction of Fengjiang alone totaled more than 300,000. Zhao Ji's rear reins at Dongqing were seriously unstable, and he could not mobilize any troops at all.
"It's not Zhao Chen's fault for this kind of thing. If I were betrayed like this, I would be heartbroken." Wang Yucai no longer has any scruples, because he now feels that he is no longer a subject of the Great China Empire.
Thinking about his life, he has been busy every day for the Great Hua Empire, and the clever woman insists on making a meal without rice - the Great Hua Empire already has no money. Who knows how much effort he, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has put in to survive to this day?
When Zhao Kai was still here, he was still a minister of the Great China Empire no matter what. When a monk struck the clock, he, the Minister of Household Affairs, had to do a good job no matter what.
Now that he can sit here, it itself represents his attitude: since he has changed his family, there is no need to cover up anything anymore.
Originally, he had wanted to say these words for a long time, but he had never said them clearly due to human feelings. Now he said them with a hint of anger: "I cheated Qian Jinhang before, and I cheated Feng Kezhi again. ...These are all ministers with foreign surnames. I understand your suspicion. In the end, the battle of Fengjiang was already on the verge of victory, but in the end, Zhao Chen was tricked... It would be really contrary to common sense if this kind of imperial court is not destroyed!"
In fact, Chen Jing probably meant this: Zhao Chen had already begun to attack Fengjiang at that time, and Shanping was still in Zhao Zheng's hands. The Dahua Empire had already had hope of winning, but it changed its mind and gave up Shanping to Zhao Zheng. the rebels.
The direct result of Zhao Kai's adoption of Zhao Jie's strategy was the surrender of Zhao Zheng's army in Shanping. The mountainous defeat directly affected Guiguang: Jiange's southern treasury was lost one after another, not only losing hundreds of thousands of troops, but also all at once. The situation of the rebels was revitalized.
Judging from the current results of Zhao Jie’s usurpation of the throne, it is hard to avoid making people think a lot! Who knows if Zhao Jie had any selfish motives for rebelling today when he came up with the plan to abandon Shanping?
"What's the use of talking about this now... This city now... I'm afraid there will be chaos for a long time." What Chu Muzhou is worried about is the future of their Chu family. After all, the moment he made the decision, he He has already put himself in the position of the Tang people.
Everyone has their own political ambitions. Chu Muzhou is such a person. After talking with Du Jia and others, Chu Muzhou has regarded "the Tang people of the world to unite" as his political ambition. .
Once he served as prime minister in the Dahua Empire, his dream was to revitalize the Dahua Empire, sweep across the six regions and unify the Chinese people, and make the Dahua Empire the true master of the Western Continent.
Now the Tang Empire allowed him to see the light of day and the opportunity to realize his dream. Moreover, no matter from any aspect, the Tang Empire is a better option than the Dahua Empire.
Except for the fact that the Tang Empire exterminated the landlords, which made the old bureaucrat of Chu Muzhou a little uncomfortable, Tang Mo and his Datang Empire were indeed the best choice for Chu Muzhou.
Wang Yucai is not that noble. He actually wants to see what the concept of five trillion yuan on the books is: he has been managing the Dahua Empire for thirty years and has never seen that much money.
As a minister in charge of finance, he really wants to experience for himself what it feels like to have money that can’t be spent no matter how much it is, and then scatter some of it casually to affect the world’s financial system.
The reason why Chen Jing decided to serve in the Tang Empire was similar to that of Wang Yucai. He had worked in the Ministry of Industry all his life and had been wronged all his life.
with his various requests for building water conservancy, paving roads, building bridges and dams... the most common answer I heard was: "No money, go away, shut up..."
In short, almost all the projects he applied for were rejected. The most common thing Wang Yucai did was to wave his hands and say: The Ministry of Revenue has no money, so you can do whatever you like!
So Chen Jing wanted to visit the Tang Empire. He wanted to see how the "Ministry of Industry" of the Tang Empire worked. Is it true, as Du Jia said, that the infrastructure department has to cry and return the unspent funds to the financial department every year because they really can't find enough slaves and workers to start building the planned infrastructure? .
To put it bluntly, these two are housewives who have never seen money. They just want to see what the life of a rich wife is like. Is there really such a thing as buying whatever you want, and the husband makes so much money that he can’t even spend it all? Degree. Chen Jing even heard Du Jia mention that there were millions of scientific and technical personnel in the Tang Empire working to innovate and develop new technologies. Their daily job is to create something that does not exist in this world, and their wages combined are more than the total export profits of the Dahua Empire.
“That **** Li Mingshun actually sealed the North City Gate, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting!” Wang Yucai remembered the order to close the city gate, and his teeth itched with hatred.
Now rebels are rampant in the imperial capital, and there are gunshots everywhere. If the area they are in is not very safe, they will be even more nervous than they are now.
Fortunately, the face of the Tang Empire is really tough. No matter whether it is gangsters or the army, no one is afraid of death to make trouble in their safe area.
But as the situation continues to worsen, the actual situation has become very bad. Many related households who have come here to seek refuge have gathered outside the wall. Although they cannot enter the yard, they are crowded at the door and it is difficult to watch. It’s upsetting.
"If he really opens the city gate, we won't be the only ones leaving. The situation will be even more chaotic. He may...don't want to..." Chu Muzhou is still sensible. Of course, he knows that what Li Mingshun did was a standard city defense force. Commander's choice.
As a city defense force, he is first responsible for the security of the city: all orders he issues must be to ensure the security of the city and drive away foreign enemies.
But before he finished speaking, there was a muffled thunder-like sound in the distance, and there was a heart-stopping loud noise echoing in the direction of the horizon.
Chu Muzhou frowned. Wang Yucai, who was relatively young, walked to the window and opened the curtains. The next second he saw a black column of smoke rising between a few lonely high-rise buildings in the distant city.
"It exploded? Where?" Chen Jing saw the black smoke column and moved to the window. He looked at the black smoke rising into the sky in the distance and asked doubtfully.
Chu Muzhou also walked over, but as soon as he reached the window, he saw a second black smoke column, rolling and rising into the sky.
A few seconds passed, and another muffled thunder-like sound floated from a distance and penetrated into everyone's ears.
This time, Chen Jing knew...it shouldn't have exploded.
“Artillery attack! Someone is firing!” As the minister of the Ministry of Industry who visited the arsenal, he had seen the power of modern artillery.
“Bombarding the Imperial Capital? Is Li Mingshun crazy, or is Zhao Jie crazy?” Wang Yucai was stunned and looked at Chen Jing, as if waiting for the answer.
“Perhaps they are all crazy.” Chu Muzhou sighed and shook his head. Just now he was somewhat ashamed of his compromises and choices, but now all that was left in his heart was the nostalgia and sorrow for his past time.
Having spent most of your life working on such a group of gadgets, what do you think you are trying to do? The few things my ancestors left behind were all smashed by my own hands!
Once the large-caliber artillery shells fell, the so-called endurance of the civilians in the imperial capital was immediately wiped out. When the city was in chaos, it would not be easy to suppress it!
At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and several strong men in black walked in nervously.
They walked up to several ministers and lowered their heads to persuade: "The windows are not safe. Sirs, the city has been shelled. We don't know who did it yet..."
These people used their bodies as a wall to block the direction of the window. Another person drew the curtains, and then turned around and explained: "There may be gunmen ambushing outside. Mr. Du Jia is already contacting the relevant departments. We will leave here at night."
"Can you leave today?" When the guard said this, several ministers were obviously stunned.
"We must leave, it is no longer safe here." The captain who spoke nodded: "Please believe us, we will definitely ensure your personal safety."
