Iron Dynasty

PS: There are two more chapters

A gust of wind blew in from outside the main hall.

The coolness that hit his face made Xiao Ming recover from his contemplation. Now that the soldiers are fighting outside for him, he can only diligently repair internal affairs in the fief and develop industry to provide them with strong support.

At the same time, in order to face the current situation and future foreign wars, he decided to implement military service.

This kind of military service is somewhat similar to the modern conscripts, that is, all the people in the feudal country must serve two years of military service.

For him, this is not only for the reservists, but also to raise the level of being a soldier again, and let the people realize that being a soldier is a very honorable thing.

Thinking of this, he began to formulate the Military Service Law, and planned to promote it together with the agricultural wealth, so that the people would have this concept in their hearts.

That night, he and Pang Yukun met again, and after the two discussed it, they went to the newspaper office to publish the agricultural and military service matters in the newspaper, and the next day to publicize it to the people of Fengguo.

When the two were busy with internal affairs, Yue Yun, who received the order, led half of the warships from Tongzhou to Jinling City along the Yangtze River. This time they wanted to give King Wei some color.

In order to cooperate with Ye Qingyun, Lu Fei also dispatched 5,000 cavalry from Pengzhou City to Huaizhou.

After Tongzhou fell, King Wei was bizarrely angry, but when he was preparing to assemble his army, Lu Fei's change and the news of battleships in the Yangtze River came one after another.

This put him suddenly in a dilemma.

Do you really want to kill me?

In the main hall of King Wei's Mansion, King Wei is sitting in the first place, and below are his civil and military generals. The situation in Wei is getting worse day by day, and people are panicking now.

His Royal Highness, King Qi's army is unstoppable. We are not opponents at all. Pengzhou City and Tongzhou City fell in one day, which is enough to show the strength of Qi's army.

Yes, Your Highness, if this continues, our country of Wei will die. We can't continue fighting with King Qi like this. It is still too late to make up for the relationship with King Qi.

Your Highness, for the sake of the people of Wei, please think twice.

...

The officials in the main hall were asking for peace, and King Wei's face gradually became embarrassed.

At this time, the young man standing at the head of the officials came out and said: Father, all officials can see clearly now that we are not the opponents of Qi King, we can no longer fight with Qi King like this, please send an envoy to Wei King. beg for peace.”

The young man was Xiao Han, the eldest son of the King of Wei. Seeing that the land of Wei was being eroded day by day, the officials recommended Xiao Han to explain the matter to the King of Wei.

Han'er, even you! King Wei couldn't help but feel sad when he saw that his son was now standing with a group of officials seeking peace.

Breathing violently, King Wei said, Xiao Qi has already sent an envoy to join King Yan, King Zhao and King Liang, are you scared now?

Father, not to mention that Xiao Qi may not be able to combine successfully. Even if it is successful, this matter of preparing troops and horses from the four sides is enough for Xiao Ming to hit Jinling City. Now that Tongzhou has been lost, Qingzhou's fleet is coming to Jinling City. , in case the Qingzhou army landed under Jinling City, can we support it? Xiao Han said.

In his heart, he has always had a deep prejudice against Xiao Qi, he is the heir of King Wei, and Xiao Qi has always overshadowed his edge over the years, making him almost non-existent.

This time, from the very beginning, he opposed fighting with King Qi, but tried his best to persuade him to form an alliance with Xiao Ming, but all his suggestions were rejected.

Now, because of the successive victories of King Qi's army, all the officials and generals have gradually sided with him, and his power has grown stronger than ever.

There's no need to talk about it again, this king will not submit to Xiao Ming until Xiao Qi comes back. King Wei threw his sleeves and walked directly outside the main hall, ignoring the civil and military officials.

After King Wei left, the officials gathered around Xiao Han, and the governor of Huaizhou said: His Royal Highness, how can this be? Now King Qi's iron cavalry is wandering outside the city of Huaizhou, and it is possible to attack the city at any time. , if you wait any longer, Huaizhou City will be gone.

Yes, yes, our Yangzhou is very close to Tongzhou, and we are also threatened by the army of King Qi of Tongzhou at any time. Another official said.

Xiao Leng smiled, Father, you won't cry when you don't see the coffin, don't look back if you don't hit the south wall, hmph, what can I do now, I can only wait for Xiao Qi to come back.

Many officials were still worried, and one official said to Xiao Han: His Royal Highness, as long as you can let King Qi stop his troops, we will all support you.

There was a smile on Xiao Han's mouth, he understood what these officials meant.

These people are all the children of the big clan in the prefecture and county. Now they are most concerned about their own one-third of an acre of land. Now the example of Pengzhou City is right in front of them. After the loss of Pengzhou City, the Mi family, Lu family and other big families are like lost dogs. , Mi Wenyi was directly beheaded.

The miserable situation of the Mi family made them feel a little sad. Now the only thing they want is to keep their own territory, so they actually want to tell him that as long as he can stop the army and ask for peace with King Qi, they will Willing to support him to ascend to the position of King Wei.

The example of Chang'an is right in front of us, and these officials can naturally think of following suit.

Thank you for your love. Xiao Wang knows it well. If the situation is critical, I can only rely on you. Xiao Han said equally vaguely.

Now many officials have left, leaving behind people with the same ideas.

Everyone was talking, when suddenly a rumbling sound came.

This sound seemed to be thunder from a distance. Gradually, they heard the difference. Xiao Han said: Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, and King Qi's fleet will come.

The officials had long been frightened and their faces were pale, and now King Qi's army was haunting them like a dream, making their dormitory uncomfortable.

Jinling City and Tongzhou are generally built along the river, but unlike Tongzhou City, Jinling City is farther from the river.

Taking a group of officials, Xiao Han boarded the city wall. On the city wall, he looked out to the river. Twelve huge warships were bombarding the pier on the shore. On the city wall, he could clearly see white smoke and fire.

King Wei also climbed the city wall at this time. Looking at this scene, King Wei's face was extremely ugly. Now he can only watch these battleships show off their power, and he can't make any counterattacks.

Father, now you believe that King Qi's army can directly attack Jinling City from here. Xiao Han advised: Father, it is still too late to form an alliance with King Qi.

King Wei's expression was still very firm. He said, It's already overwhelmed. Even if you ask for peace at this time, with Xiao Ming's character, do you think he will let his father go?
