Du Jia is a little nervous now because he has too many senior officials of the Dahua Empire in his hands. He doesn't know if he is really sure to protect so many important targets.
In fact, he had approached Shen Chuan, 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 it, but so far he has not received news of the return.
According to theory, everyone in the Tang Empire has to give face, but giving face is one thing, but if something unexpected happens, that's 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 is now There is really too much information in hand.
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 going very quickly, 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 up from the direction of Fengjiang alone amounted to more than 300,000. Zhao Ji's rear rein Dongqing was 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 Dahua Empire.
Thinking about his life, he has been busy every day for the Great China Empire, and the clever woman insists on making a meal without rice - the Great China Empire has no money. Who knows how much effort he, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has put in to maintain it 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 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 victorious, 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 inevitable that people will not think about it! 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... In this city now... I'm afraid there will be chaos for a long time." What Chu Muzhou was worried about was already the future of their Chu family. After all, the moment he made his decision, He has already put himself in the position of the Tang Dynasty.
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. .
He once served as prime minister in the Dahua Empire, and 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.
In addition to the fact that the Tang Empire exterminated the landlords, Chu Muzhou's old bureaucrat was a little uncomfortable, Tang Mo and his Datang Empire were indeed Chu Muzhou's best choice.
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 he has never seen so 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 casually scatter some of it to affect the world's financial system.
The reason why Chen Jing decided to work 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.
He put forward various requests for building water conservancy, paving roads, building bridges and dams... and the most common answer he 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 Accounts has no money, so you can do whatever you like!
So Chen Jing wanted to go to the Tang Empire 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 return the unspent funds to the financial department in tears 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 the Tang Empire had millions of scientific and technical personnel working on innovation and research and development of 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 bastard Li Mingshun actually closed 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.
Nowadays, rebels are running 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 has come to cause trouble in their safe area without fear of death.
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 Li Mingshun's behavior is standard. City defense army commander selection.
As a city defense force, he is first responsible for the safety of the city: all orders he issues must ensure the safety 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 fire! Someone is firing!" As the Minister 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.
After working for such a group of things for most of your life, 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 shells fall, the remaining so-called endurance of the civilians in the imperial capital will be immediately wiped out. When the city is disrupted, it will not be easily suppressed!
At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and several strong men in black walked in nervously.
They walked to several ministers and lowered their heads to persuade: "It's not safe near the windows. 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. Someone else pulled up 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 have to leave. It's no longer safe here." The captain who spoke nodded and said, "Please believe us, we will definitely ensure your personal safety."
