The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

The destruction of Liaoyuan City is of great significance to Daxia, which shows that the second step of the three-step process of destroying Qi State has been completed.

If the east and west of the imperial capital of Qi were taken as the axis and divided into north and south, the breach of Liaoyuan City represented that the fourteen states in the south of Qi were no longer covered, and they were frankly reduced to the iron cavalry of Daxia.

Next, you only need to move your troops northward, and you can go to Kyoto with a single map of Pingchuan.

Champion Hou immediately stepped on his horse and sent the victory report back to Daxia Capital.

At the same time, the bad news that Liaoyuan City was breached was sent back to the Qi Palace. Qi Huang was discussing matters, and when he heard the news, he was so anxious that he suddenly passed out.

This frightened all the ministers in the palace, and hurriedly called the imperial doctor, and finally regained consciousness.

After waking up, Emperor Qi slapped the table and shouted: "Damn it, damn it! A bunch of trash, with an army of 300,000 soldiers, can't even defend a city. With the corpses piled up for me, they can be piled up into a mountain to block the soldiers and horses of Daxia. .Where is Yeye Qingshan? Did he join Xia Jun?"

Zuo Xiang Hai Yuntian explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is not Prince He's fault, but that Wei Nanzheng's younger brother was not good at guarding the granary, which caused the Da Xia spies hiding in Liaoyuan City to sneak into the granary and set fire to the grain at night. The soldiers in the city were busy putting out the fire. At this time, the Great Xia soldiers and horses attacked from the four city gates at the same time, and the opponent first attacked with fire, burning down the bunkers that had been laid out beforehand, and then began to attack the city at dawn..."

Hai Yuntian told the details.

"Where's Wei Nantu?" Qi Huang looked at Wei Nanzheng coldly.

Wei Nanzheng knelt down and said in pain: "Your Majesty, my brother knows that it is not good for him to keep food, so that Liaoyuan City can live and die together, and he has already died in battle!"

He died in a bullshit battle, but was actually shot dead by Yang Youji when he fled in panic.

Everyone is dead, Qi Huang has no chance to get angry, and then asked: "How about the casualties? Where is Prince He, Ye Qingchuanshan?"

Yun Haitian said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, only 130,000 sons escaped back, and Prince He's life and death are unknown!"

At this time, Wei Nanzheng on the side hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the grain cellar in Liaoyuan City caught fire. It was Ye Qingshan who suggested that all the grain be gathered together. Who would have thought that the warehouse would be set on fire by the Daxia spies within a few days? This is too coincidental. Now! If there is no cooperation from the inside and the outside, how could it be possible to touch the granary!"

When Qi Huang heard it, it was true after careful consideration.

"Since Ye Qingshan is not afraid of life and death, he should protect his children well, do you hear me? Wei Aiqing!" Qi Huang said through gritted teeth.

Wei Nanzheng was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I understand!"

Qi Huang took a deep breath and said sadly: "Now that Liaoyuan City is broken, there is no dangerous pass from Liaoyuan City to the imperial capital, and the road is unimpeded. How can we resist Daxia's soldiers and horses? Is the sky going to destroy my Daqi?"

The officials in the hall were silent.

At this moment, it seemed that there was a leak in the house and it was raining all night. The internal officer suddenly entered the hall in a hurry, almost tripped because of panic, and said: "Your Majesty, an urgent report is sent from the north!"

"Read!" Qi Huang growled.

The internal official trembled and read: "My emperor is above, the 200,000 cavalry of the Yuan army came to the south by surprise, they have already broken through the defense line, and the leaping horses are heading south..."

Boom...

Qi Huang was confused for a while, his body tilted and he fainted again.

The Qi State stayed behind with a hundred thousand troops in the north, relying on dangerous areas and rivers to set up checkpoints to prevent the Yuan army from going south. Unexpectedly, now, the checkpoint is not guarded, and the Yuan army has also come to kill.

It's no wonder that Emperor Qi was not dizzy.

 …

At the same time, it was a few days before the news was sent back to Daxia Capital.

After taking Liaoyuan City, the next step is the imperial capital of Qi.

However, what came from the front and rear feet was also the movement of the Yuan army. The 200,000 yuan army cavalry broke through Qi's fortifications and leaped south. At the same time, more Yuan troops began to occupy the northern part of Qi. It seems that the Khan of Yuan also knew that Qi would be destroyed. If you are going to occupy the land, you cannot give up the land to Daxia in vain.

Even according to Xiao Rui's calculations, in the future, the border between Daxia and Yuan will be two to three hundred miles away from the imperial capital of Qi, because there is a mountain range running from east to west, and there are rivers blocking it. This time the Qi State set up a card to fortify there, but it was a pity that the Yuan army was not stopped.

In the future, when the Qi State is destroyed and the soldiers and horses of Daxia continue to go northward, they will push the border there. After all, the borders between countries are basically bounded by mountains and rivers.

At that time, Daxia will occupy the fourteen prefectures of the Qi State, and the Yuan State will occupy the ten prefectures, completely dividing the Qi State.

By that time, the fourteen prefectures of Anxi, together with the fourteen prefectures of the Qi State, and the twenty-eight prefectures of the Great Xia, more than doubled the area of ​​the entire Great Xia.

But it is not an easy task to govern such a huge territory. If Qi is still plagued by disasters this year, what will be done with so many refugees? No matter whether you ignore it, or open a warehouse for relief?

Qi State has no food, but Qi State still has food.

Why do you say that, there is no food in the Qi country, it means that there is no food in the treasury, but the rich and powerful families have food. The food confiscated in Liaoyuan City is a clear example. The rich people do not know how much food and silver they have hidden.

So Xiao Rui had to think about what to do.

Secondly, governing the Qi State requires officials. In the past two years, Daxia has continued to open Enke and select officials through imperial examinations. It seems that Enke will continue to be opened next year.

The other thing is to think of a good way to manage the occupied Qi land as soon as possible. Now that the beginning of winter is about to start, there is no time. New crops will have to be planted in the next spring. Maybe the five grains will not go well, but planting new crops can avoid the tragic consequences of no harvest.

As for Marquis Pingbo, it is time to arrive at the country of Wa. With the elite navy of Daxia, how difficult is it to destroy the country of Wa, which is not as large as the land of one state in Daxia? weak. And after destroying the Wa country, you can send troops to station here, and build the Wa country into a transfer station, which is of great significance.

When the evening was approaching, the internal officials suddenly reported that Chang Shenghou and Zhang Jiedu had just entered Beijing and were already waiting at the Meridian Gate.

Xiao Rui was overjoyed and immediately summoned the two of them into the palace.

After waiting for a while, he saw the two hurriedly entering the hall, Xiao Rui came down to greet them personally, seeing the dusty appearance of the two, Xiao Rui smiled and said: "The two heroes of Great Xia are finally back!"

Tian Boyuan and Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "My humble minister Zhang Liang (Tian Boyuan) pays his respects to His Royal Highness, Your Highness is blessed and safe!"

Xiao Rui held up the arms of the two of them and said with a smile: "Excuse me, give me a seat."

Marquis Chang Sheng is a little older, with white hair on his temples, he is only one or two years younger than His Majesty, and he is also 60 years old. In ancient times, he was considered old, and he still needs to work hard in the army, and the pressure is not small.

Zhang Liang still looks like a man and a woman, but his skin is much darker than when he left. It can be seen that he has done it himself, and often visits the fourteen states to check the people's conditions, otherwise he wouldn't be able to tan like this.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Rui said sincerely.

The two laughed and said, "Your Highness is serious, this is what your subordinates should do."

As they said that, the two of them took out a thick official document, which was used for job reporting, and it recorded in detail the official status of their respective responsibilities. After the internal officer presented it to Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui flipped through it briefly, and said: "I will take a look at this in the future, I'd better listen to you talk about it yourself, and talk about something that I am more interested in."

Zhang Liang signaled Tian Boyuan to give priority to the elder, let him speak first.

Tian Boyuan said: "Your Highness, the army is busy farming and training in leisure time. As 80% of the soldiers are willing to make their homes in Anxi Province and marry local women, they have established military towns with 100,000 troops in ten states. , with a total force of one million. Once the western state of Qin invades, they can quickly assemble and deal a heavy blow to the opponent. In addition, on Qijiang, Gan Ning was appointed as the commander of the water army. On the basis of recruiting the strength of the Qijiang battalion, he formed a The three water armies are guarding the river section of Qijiang Prefecture, Songyang Prefecture, and Jiangquan Prefecture respectively, with a total strength of 120,000!"

The fourteen prefectures in Anxi are the five central continents: Lanzhou, Eastern Tibet, Zangxi, Lingshan, and Qishui, and the five northern prefectures: Songyang, Songxia, Yanggu, Suizhou, and Kaizhou. Four states in the south: Jiangquan Prefecture, Jiangzhong Prefecture, Yuanzhou, and Sazhou.

The Qijiang River originates from the northern grasslands, and it is the longest river in the mainland of China formed by the convergence of countless small streams from the snow-capped mountains. The Yellow River flows through the loess area in Daxia, forming the unique color of the Yellow River water.

In addition, the Yangtze River in the south of Daxia and the Yanjiang River in Yan State were divided into two rivers by the terrain when the Qi River flowed to the border. The perfusion forms a turbulent river that rolls eastward and merges into the sea.

Now Daxia has selected three suitable river sections on the Qijiang River to form a water army, which is not only to prevent Qin from crossing the river to invade, but also a strategic reserve.

"What is the number of warships?" Xiao Rui asked.

Tian Boyuan smiled and said: "Forty super-large warships, nearly a hundred large-scale warships, the largest warship can support more than 400 people to fight, more than 300 medium-sized warships, can support a hundred people to fight, and small-scale warships can support 500 people." There are more than a hundred boats, and after more than two years of training, these sailors are already proficient in combat, much better than the former Qijiang battalion. If Jiang Ying is at the level, then they will have to bathe in the water."

Xiao Rui nodded. The role of the warship is not only to fight against the enemy, but also to cross the river. If you really want to attack Qin, how to cross the river with hundreds of thousands of troops is a difficult point. The Qijiang River is not like the Yellow River. Some sections of the river will be closed in winter, but the Qijiang River will not.

Of course, not absolutely not.

As the temperature in winter is getting lower and lower, it is also possible to freeze and seal the Qijiang River. Once the river is sealed to allow people to walk, then this obstacle will no longer exist.

But who knows when the river will be closed, so the construction of the navy must not be underestimated.

Now the water army can fight, can fight tough battles, plus ten garrisoned military towns, the current fourteen prefectures of Anxi are as solid as gold, and they will never be afraid of the Qin army's attack.

However, as the soldiers and horses of Marquis Changsheng and Marquis Zhenyuan are stationed in Anxi, correspondingly, the number of troops in the land of Daxia is much smaller.

If a large-scale uprising suddenly broke out in Daxia, the local commanders and envoys alone would not be able to stop it.

Therefore, the increase in land area and population will inevitably increase the military strength.

This is also a question that Xiao Rui will plan carefully in the future.
