The battle to destroy Qi is imminent; the trend of unifying the world is unstoppable!
The expedition to the Wu Dynasty captured the land of the two states of the Wu Dynasty without spending a single soldier. The vitality was not damaged and the strength was not reduced. It was still feasible to fight together.
Less than half an hour later.
All civil and military officials came up to Jiwu Hall.
At the same time, generals Guo Deng and Guo Yi, Liu Wenwen, Shi Wenlong and other generals all surrendered to Qin.
certainly! The elite troops of Wu State, without any loss, all surrendered to Qin.
There are four battalions: Feilong Army, Feihu Army, Wuwei Camp, and Firearms Camp, totaling 50,000 people. Originally, the first three battalions were supposed to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but since the last expedition against Northern Liao, the soldiers of the third battalion have not been replenished.
and!
To rebuild the third camp, the funds required are extremely huge. Recently, Wu State has lost local taxes, its treasury has not been replenished, and it has been in a state of loss.
That's why the national treasury is so empty.
But that’s it! This does not mean that Dawu will have no money if the treasury is empty. In fact, most of the money is divided up by the ministers below. Whoever is the richest in a country must belong to the aristocratic family below the court.
As soon as Dongfang Yu took over the imperial court, as some people in the imperial court said, there would be a big purge first, and a big sweep would be carried out on every minister of the imperial court.
It would be better not to clean it up, but once it is cleaned up, there will either be a river of blood, or if a lot of unofficial officials are dismissed and a group of officials who only suck people's blood are left behind, what's the use of keeping them?
Even the ministers of the Three Dukes were not spared.
After some looting, Dongfang Yu made all the profits, more than 30 million taels of silver, and countless gold, silver, and jade articles. The total sum of all money and goods has reached more than 50 million taels, which is a staggering figure.
It would be strange if the ministers embezzled so much money and there is money in the treasury!
It's no wonder that in the late Dawu Dynasty, they couldn't even support the army.
Even Mr. Dongfang was extremely angry when he looked at this number.
These gangs of ministers are all blood-sucking devils.
On weekdays, when there is profit, everyone rushes to grab it. When the war comes, if these people are asked to donate a few dollars, all of them will wave their hands and refuse.
Now it's okay. When Emperor Renwu comes, he will directly attack the family. It's better not to search. If he does, it will be tens of millions of taels of wealth.
The ministers who came here today, in addition to Qin's own ministers, those civil servants and generals recruited from Wu Kingdom were all retained after strict screening.
"Your Majesty, although it is now six months, we, the Qin Dynasty, have been preparing for the eastern expedition for more than a year. If we mobilize the power of the whole country to attack Qi at this time, within half a month, all matters concerning the eastern expedition will be completed. , complete and proper." Zhuge Xuanyu said.
Although he sat at the censor's desk and was in charge of documents, he paid attention to the developments of Qin all the time.
Um!
Dongfang Yu nodded.
Immediately he said: "Qi State has 750,000 soldiers, and our army is also scattered. We need to divide the enemy's forces from three directions and launch an attack."
"Liu Wenqin and Qi Lanyin combined 300,000 troops along the way to attack Yuzhou and Luzhou from the east of the Yangtze River. They also went to the Jiangyin part of Bingzhou and increased their troops to 100,000 to attack Bingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou."
"Wei Qing and Jiangyin will mobilize 50,000 troops together, and let Wei Chi delay his troops to defend against the unrest in the north. Cooperate with Jiangyin to attack together. This way, there will be 150,000 troops."
"The other way is my army in front. I personally lead the army as the commander-in-chief, and Bai Qi and Li Jing are the deputy commanders on the left and right. I lead an army of 300,000 to attack Taizhou and Qingzhou. Wang Jian's army stationed in Dengzhou suddenly rose up. Together with me, we have a total of 350,000 troops. When the two southern armies are victorious, our army can attack Dongfang Tian together."
"That's it! Our army is 800,000 strong. Counting Yu Haoming and Fang Shouke who went south, the two armies combined 80,000 naval troops, which is 880,000. This battle will involve the entire country. In early August, a comprehensive In the war, Da Qin will win."
Dongfang Yu clenched his fists and hammered the dragon chair hard. His deep and powerful voice shocked all the civil and military officials in the court, and even the blood and energy in his body kept rolling and boiling.
"Great Qin will win, Your Majesty will win!"
"Great Qin will win, Your Majesty will win!"
…
The high-pitched voice echoed in Nuo Dajiwu Hall.
Suddenly!
A series of plans were designated, and the imperial edict was immediately drawn up and spread in all directions.
Especially Qindu.
Dongfang Yu requested that all the inventory be brought out. From Beiliang Arsenal, thousands of Frankie cannons and hundreds of Hongyi cannons were also brought out.
He took out as many grenades as he could, explosive packs and other items.
after all! Qin doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing. With the powerful mineral resources in the west, Dongfang Yu can make endless guns and cannons as a backing.
And this firearms camp may become a very crucial part of this battle.
The battle plan is that the armies from all walks of life will only attack the city and take out the stronghold, without using any strategies. If they can capture a city, it is a city.
Dongfang Yu means to be direct and tough.
With an army of 880,000 and more than 700,000, the regular army of the Qin State is still afraid of a small Qi State.
And the foundation of Qi State is naturally inferior to that of Qin State, even saying that! The foundation of Qi State is not even half of that of Qin State.
Qi's military strength, financial resources, and strength are all insufficient.
Once the firearms war begins, Qi will be defeated.
In mid-July, Qin State was deploying troops and generals from all over the country to slowly advance towards the various states of Qi State.
A total of 200,000 troops were stationed in Yuzhou and Luzhou. Generals Luo Youshan, Long Yue, Zongjing, Li Shuren, Kezi, and Ziluo were stationed as military advisors, and 50,000 of them were naval officers.
In Bingzhou and Jizhou, Hebei, 150,000 troops were stationed, with generals Li Zhen, Wenzong, Zhao Bing and Zhuang Jing serving as military advisors.
The other thirty-five armies were entrenched in Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Taizhou. They were led by Dongfangtian himself, under his general Shangguan Wenhao, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army Ji Jian, the military counselors Zimu and Xu Yeling, the prime minister Bai Xuan, the counselor Xin Ping, and other generals. : Luo Qingsheng, Luo Tong, Zhang Heng, Tian Kai, Zhao Li and other generals.
Both countries are preparing for war. The momentum of the two armies is surging. The air is filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. Just one spark is enough to fuel a raging fire.
The two countries seem to be extremely peaceful, but in fact, the storm is about to come!
The prelude to the storm is so calm.
The whole world, at this moment, was in its throat.
Because the war is about to break out, the armies of the two countries are dispatching their troops to the border.
All artillery, firearms, and supplies were transported to the front line. The final battle was an unprecedented one. The large army sent by each country is enough to scare other countries.
Who would have thought that the total military strength of Qin and Qi was enough to rival the population of a medium-sized country.
With nearly two million soldiers and horses, they are stronger than some countries in the west, by more than a hair.
As an ally, Qin's power also made them tremble.
In order to show their loyalty, the Wuhuan Kingdom, Qiang tribes, Hu tribes, and other grassland countries and tribes all took the initiative to surrender to Qin and mobilized tens of thousands of allied troops to help Qin defend the northern Liao Kingdom.
To ensure the peace of Qin's border.
