Facing the Huns, who are ready to move and have millions of troops, Dawu is in a state of panic. The entire Wu Kingdom, not only the ministers of the court, but also the common people are in panic.
To know! At that time, the Northern Xiongnu, with only 300,000 troops, were able to break through Beimen Pass from Beiliang, go all the way south, capture Beiliang, lead their troops into Dingzhou, escape to Zhengzhou, take Guanzhong directly, and march to Luoqi.
Today's Xiongnu are more powerful and more powerful than a hundred years ago. With an army of one million, can the whole country be able to stop it? Can Luo Qi's imperial capital, which stands in Yunzhou, be able to withstand the pressure and avoid moving south to Jinling and moving the capital.
Not only that! The disaster of Dawu does not only refer to the great Liao in the north. There are also Japanese pirates in the East China Sea. This group of Japanese pirates faces Dawu across the sea. After more than 20 years of waiting and watching, their warship industry has developed, and their warship technology can rival Dawu Navy.
Fire gun technology has been developed for two generations in the Wu Kingdom. The Wu Kingdom had been lagging in science and technology for a hundred years, and finally fell behind the Japanese Kingdom in the East China Sea in terms of thermal weapons.
Wu and Yue in the south, after experiencing several wars with Dawu and suffering disastrous defeats, did not dare to invade the territory of Wu State. Just in the South China Sea, Wu and Yue have expanded to many areas, because they are backed by the ocean, so! Shipbuilding and navigation technology are also very developed.
Some island countries on the ocean, actually some continents, were also occupied by Wu and Yue. In the ocean field, the island countries occupied by foreign countries did not occupy the land of the four states of Dawu.
Dawu Kingdom, Luo Qi, Jiwu Palace!
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
…
"Okay! Don't give me these false gifts! There is an emergency in the north, and the war is coming. Everyone! Tell us how to deal with it!" Emperor Xuanwu waved his hands impatiently. In the past few days, Huerzan alone proclaimed himself emperor in Lincheng. He was so busy with all the things he had to do.
Let alone now! The Huns sent 100,000 more troops to the border. The leader of the army was Hu Yanquan, a famous general in the world. Even at this moment! There has been no movement of going south, but it cannot be ruled out that the Xiongnu army suddenly went south and attacked Yanmen Pass in a large scale.
Tell the truth! The Xiongnu can develop to a million troops, which is really a powerful country. In fact, I have great catastrophe.
The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but they all bowed their heads and remained silent!
The Huns have been warlike and cruel since ancient times, and everyone still knows the tragic scenes in the border areas. The fear of the Huns is also inherent.
If we really want to come up with an explanation, I believe that many ministers will probably only say this, "Your Majesty! Let's give the Huns some benefits and send them away!" If it's more serious, we can hand over the princess to the Huns for marriage. At worst, just cut some more land and feed them?
But the current Huns are no longer what they used to be. With a million-strong army, they are as powerful as swallowing the sky and the earth. The Dawu Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, monopolizing Ji, You, Bing, Qing, Lu, Yu, Yang, Yun, Wan, Jing, Jiao, and Nan. , Ding, Zheng, Liang, Tai, Deng, Yue, eighteen major states. Home to tens of millions of people, it is rich in minerals such as iron, copper, gold, silver, and aluminum.
Such a beautiful Dawu can be called paradise in the eyes of foreigners. How can we not covet it?
At this time, in the queue, a middle-aged man in his thirties stood up and said: "Your Majesty! In my opinion, we can send 200,000 Japanese soldiers from Shandong to the north to fight against the Huns!"
This man is one of the three princes and one of the four major families in the capital. He is the head of the Wang family and the Grand Sima Wang Mingzhang.
"Hahaha…"
"Wang Sima, the 200,000 Japanese soldiers in Shandong are to defend against the invasion of Japanese slaves from the east. How can we just mobilize them?"
The one who came was Gu Jiu, the regular attendant.
snort…
Wang Mingzhang glanced sideways at Gu Jiu, unable to figure out why Gu Jiu, who was only a third-rank official, dared to resist him, "Master Gu, the Japanese pirates are just a small island in the east, what kind of threat can they pose! The disaster of the Xiongnu has been going on since ancient times. They are our country’s biggest scourge.”
"What is the purpose of the Xiongnu proclaiming themselves emperor? It is just to fight against our enemies under the banner of the emperor. Once they seize the opportunity, they will attack the important border areas on a large scale. If no precautions are taken and the border is broken, the disaster of the Xiongnu will spread to Mainland, you and I! We are all sinners through the ages."
Gu Jiu was dissatisfied and said, "The Huns are a great disaster. Are the Japanese slaves in the east not a disaster?"
"According to the specific information I got! In addition to the 200,000 Japanese troops prepared for Japan, Shandong claims to have 300,000 coastal defense troops in the three states. In fact, it is a lie!"
"Prime Minister Ye Yi, Shandong coastal defense is under your jurisdiction. What is the situation? Do you know better than me?"
That's good! I just offended the Grand Sima Wang Mingzhang, but with one sentence, I offended the Prime Minister Ye Yi again!
It really is! You don't even criticize others without being picky. These two are both in the position of the three princes and have great power. Good for you! One person said that he was really afraid that he would not be cut into pieces after death.
Ye Yi originally stood well and enjoyed watching the show, but Gu Jiu dragged him into a fierce fight with just one word.
to be honest! Shandong's coastal defense is indeed commanded by him. He knows what the situation in Shandong is like! Just as Gu Jiu said, the three-state coastal defense troops, which are said to be 300,000, actually have only tens of thousands of troops.
But in an instant! Ye Yi really had nothing to say. I don't know how to answer either.
snort!
"Okay! Shut up, everyone. I asked you to come here to discuss things, not to yell or act." Emperor Xuanwu snorted coldly. The more pressing the situation, the more intense the discussions among these ministers. When there are many people and they disagree, it is easy to yell and curse. When the situation is more serious, they will fight with their fists.
The Kingdom of Wu was fond of martial arts, and it was normal for disputes to arise in the court and fights. Emperor Xuanwu had long been accustomed to it, but he looked disgusted and had a headache when facing the minister who couldn't figure out a solution after a fight.
At this time, under Liu Wenqin, a man with a long back and a rough voice came out in front of the palace and admonished: "Since the Japanese troops in Shandong are not ready to move, in my opinion, we can raise troops from all states except Shandong." , join forces to go north to attack the Xiongnu! I don’t believe it, I have eighteen states with tens of millions of people, can’t I squeeze out the Northern Expedition army?”
This person! He is the second person after Liu Wenqin, a famous military general, a second-rank official, and General Wei Daiyan. He wielded a green dragon broadsword and went on an expedition against the Huns and the barbarians in the south. He returned with a great victory and his reputation has long been known at home and abroad.
Liu Wenqin continued: "I second the proposal!"
"Since I took up the position of general, I have also learned about the elite soldiers of each state. Not to mention our Yunzhou, which is located in the political center and has a garrison of 150,000 troops. But if we deploy Ding, Zheng, Wan, Yu, Deng, Tai, and Jing, If we unite with Ji, You, Bing, and Liang, we can send at least 400,000 troops, and it is not impossible to recruit more in the meantime to make up an army of 500,000."
Although Dawu restricts the recruitment of troops from various states, at least! In Jingzhou, Nanzhou and other places, one state can still recruit 150,000 people.
