The Jagged Empire of Daqin

The Emperor's Hall was the place where the monarchs and ministers of the Great Wei Empire discussed their affairs. When Uncle Wei was in power, the Hall of the Emperor was not called the Hall of the Emperor, but the Hall of Taiji.

The reason for changing the name of the hall is very simple. Wei Shang believes that there are many emperors in the world, and they are not unique. In order to obtain a unique title, Wei Shang called himself the Emperor of God, and his status was above that of the emperor, so he deliberately changed the Hall of Tai Chi to the Emperor of God. temple!

But this is just Wei Shang's wishful thinking. Among the people, no one calls him the Emperor of God, and he still calls him the Emperor, and Wei Shang does not force Wei people to call him the Emperor of God. He is the emperor.

At this time, in the Emperor's Palace, all the military officials were dressed in dark blue court clothes, and they were on the left and right sides. On the high platform, Wei Shang was wearing a dark blue tunic dragon robe, a black sable fur cloak on his shoulders, a sword on his waist, and a sword on his head. Nine-pronged dragon crown, high above the carved dragon throne!

"Dear dear ministers, do you have something important to announce?" Wei Shang looked around at the ministers of Wu with sharp eyes like swords.

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged official walked out of the official queue. Looking at him in the golden pheasant Buzi court uniform, one knew that he was a second-rank minister. Indeed, he was Zhang Qingquan, the second-rank official minister of the Great Wei Empire!

Zhang Qingquan's identity is not only the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but also the eldest son of Zhang Gan. Who is Zhang Gan?Wei Shang's grandfather, the current first-class Marquis Qianhou, Wei Shang can sit on the current throne, thanks to Zhang Gan leading the northern frontier army back to Jingqin King!

It is not entirely due to this status that he was able to sit in the Ministry of Officials. He himself is also a brave general who was one of the commanders in the first battle against Wu.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Zhang Qingquan bent down respectfully to report.

"Prelude!"

Zhang Qingquan was allowed, and immediately raised his hand to compose with a solemn expression: "My Majesty, bandits are rampant in Wu, and bandits and people collude, causing officials everywhere to suffer, and even bandits assassinate officials. The situation is extremely bad. Your Majesty, please send troops to suppress the bandits, and be ruthless, severely punish those who collaborate with the bandits, catch one without pardon, and enslave the whole family, and send them to the border!"

There are people from Yue who make trouble across the border, and people from Wu who make trouble in the border of Wu!

"These Wu people are really toasting and not eating fine wine!" Wei Shang said with a cold expression.

Facing the unstoppable rebellion, Wei Shang was furious besides anger. Over the years, just to suppress the rebellion in various places has almost exhausted the treasury of the Great Wei Empire.

"Your Majesty, controlling violence with violence is the kingly way!" Zhang Qingquan continued, his tone full of murderous intent.

Wei Shang nodded expressionlessly, and then coldly shouted: "I will pass on my will to order troops to be stationed in various parts of the Wu territory, and to eliminate bandits everywhere at all costs. Military slaves, women are military prostitutes!"

"Your Majesty is holy! Long live my emperor!" Minister Wu shouted in unison!

The corner of Wei Shang's mouth curled up, enjoying Minister Wu's flattery very much.

"Your Majesty, next, what country will my Great Wei Sword target?" Zhang Qingquan asked with a smile on his face.

"Mieyue!" Wei Shang replied without thinking!

All the ministers couldn't help looking at each other, and they could all see a hint of puzzlement flashing in each other's eyes.

Liu Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood out of the official queue, bowed down to make a salute with a frown, and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Wu of Wei has issued a decree that the Great Wei cannot destroy the moon. I am afraid that my Great Wei sword will point to the Queen of the Moon Empire." , the people of the world are dissatisfied!"

"Today is not the same as in the past. Originally, I planned to destroy Shu and completely relieve the troubles in the Southwest, but the Qin Empire located in the western corner has seriously threatened our position in the Kyushu. Therefore, I plan to open up the Western Desert and send troops to attack the Qin Empire itself. Let the world know who is the real overlord of Kyushu!" Wei Shang was impassioned, with awe-inspiring fighting spirit!

Since the Great Qin Empire conquered the Northwest Desert, the attention of the kingdoms of the Kyushu has gradually shifted from the Great Wei Empire to the Great Qin Empire, and a few days ago, it was heard that the Great Qin Empire had destroyed the Jin Empire. There are also rumors among the people that the comprehensive national strength of the Great Qin Empire has surpassed Great Wei Empire!

Wei Shang is an ambitious emperor, such an emperor, how can he tolerate the Great Wei Empire becoming the second most powerful country in the world in his own hands, isn't this a joke?Prove that you are too incompetent?

"The Qin Empire was so arrogant that it insulted my envoy at a banquet in Kyushu!"

"It's time to compete with the Qin Empire!"

"If it wasn't for the Qin Empire being far away, we would be the first to destroy the Qin Empire!"

"Everyone in the world has said that Qin Jun is the master of tigers and wolves. I want to see whether the king of Wei is stronger or the so-called master of tigers and wolves!"

All the military officials agreed one after another, agreeing to destroy the moon and attack Qin!

Wei Shang didn't want to see the limelight of the Great Wei Empire being robbed by the Great Qin Empire, and the courtiers like them didn't want to either.

Seeing that none of the officials objected, Wei Shang thought again that he had made a very wise decision!

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a reward, asking for a full order, and asking for four daily requests. I also hope that you will support me a lot. It's not easy for a humble author to do five things a day. Seeing that the humble author is working so hard, I don't support it. A little? It’s unreasonable not to support it, right?”

Chapter 651 The long-awaited declaration of war!

Great Qin must be destroyed, even if it cannot be destroyed in a short period of time, the Qin Empire must be destroyed. Although it is a bit far away, it is farther away, so that the soldiers of the Wei army can adapt to the expedition in advance.

"Eight hundred li urgent report! Get out of the way!"

"Get back quickly!"

tread... tread... tread...

In vain at this time, there was a noise and the sound of horseshoes outside the hall, and the officials in the hall subconsciously turned their heads to look outside the hall, only to see a blood-stained scout rushing outside the hall, and the scout quickly jumped off the horse without any hindrance ran into the hall.

Seeing that the scout was in a panic and covered in a lot of blood, Minister Wu couldn't help frowning, Wei Shang's face changed even more, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The scout knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down his face, and cried out mournfully, "Your Majesty, Dagu City is lost!"

"what!"

In just one sentence, it was undoubtedly a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and Minister Wu and Wei Shang were suddenly stunned!

"How could Dagu City be lost!"

"Say, what the hell happened!"

"Say it now!"

Minister Wu urged the scouts impatiently, making the solemn and solemn Shenhuang Palace instantly become extremely noisy. With a sound of "bang!", Wei Shang slapped the imperial case angrily, breaking the imperial case, and sawdust flew It was everywhere, and all the officials trembled in fright.

"Tell me, what happened!" Wei Shang's sharp eyes frightened the scouts, and his tone was extremely cold, which made people shudder!

The scout couldn't help trembling all over, and his tongue seemed to be knotted. He stammered: "Your Majesty, 10,000+ months... The Moon Army suddenly surrounded Dagu City. Our army fought against the enemy bravely and defended Dagu City in order to... In order to buy time and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, they lasted for five days without seeing a single reinforcement. The enemy was outnumbered, and our army... our army still did not... failed to defend, and the entire army of [-] soldiers... was wiped out..."

Wei Shang tightly clenched his fists, making a bone-cracking sound, and a monstrous anger rose in his heart, which was spreading to his whole body. Under the anger, Wei Shang's eyes gradually turned red, and the anger in his eyes seemed to condense into substance.

Under the emperor's fury, the officials did not dare to speak easily even though they were furious.

"Huh!" Wei Shang let out a long breath of foul air, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, the loss of a city was enough, and it wouldn't make him fly into a rage!

"The Moon Empire is weak, with only 20 regular troops, and there has been no sign of expanding its army in recent years. Before my Great Wei Dynasty provoked it, it led an army of 10,000+ to attack Dagu City, and almost sent out all the country. This is really abnormal. !" After the anger was suppressed, doubts arose in Wei Shang's heart again, and he felt that the invasion of the Moon Empire was really unbelievable, unbelievable, and everything was very abnormal!

"Your Majesty, the Moon Empire is probably trying to take advantage of our Wei's unstable rule across the border, and intends to take advantage of it to loot!" A minister stood up and said.

Wei Shang shook his head, "This is absolutely impossible, there must be other reasons for this!"

The Moon Empire hadn't conquered foreign countries for at least a hundred years, but they suddenly mobilized all of their country, and they were attacking the mighty Wei Empire.

"Report!"

At this time, there was an urgent report from outside the hall, and I saw an imperial guard hurriedly stepping into the hall of the Divine Emperor. Come and see me!"

"It's just in time, Xuan Lai envoy enters the palace!"

There was a sneer at the corner of Wei Shang's mouth, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes!

All the military officials also sneered, thinking, it's just the right time to come, let's see what kind of tricks the Moon Empire is playing!

"Xuan Dayue Empire is here to have an audience!"

"Xuan Dayue Empire is here to have an audience!"

The eunuchs outside the hall choked their throats and shouted loudly, wave after wave. After about ten breaths, a young woman in red official uniform walked into the hall under Wei Baiguan's watchful eyes. Behind him, followed by two female officers.

"Foreign minister Bi Xinyue, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Wei!" The envoy Bi Xinyue bent down to pay respects with a solemn expression, and the two female attendants behind him also bowed down to pay respects.

"The envoy came just in time. I just wanted to ask what Dagu City means?" Wei Shang said indifferently and without any waves. It is impossible to observe his inner emotions from the surface. Hiding one's own emotions is a compulsory course for emperors. class.

"Oh" Bi Xinyue said disapprovingly, "Your Majesty the Great Wei Emperor, the foreign ministers really feel guilty. The foreign ministers came this time to declare war on His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor, but there was a little accident on the way. As a result, my Great Moon Declaration of War has not arrived at Zhongtian City, so please forgive me, His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor!"

"Declaration of war?"

"Hahaha, haha!"

"Is the slut from the Moon Empire here to make a joke?"

"Riaoyue actually declared war on me, Great Wei, it's really a ridiculous joke in the world, it's extremely ridiculous!"

"This is probably the most ridiculous joke this year and next!"

The officials were stunned for a while, and then laughed. They didn't pay attention to the Moon Empire's declaration of war at all. Perhaps for them, the Moon Mie Empire is like crushing an ant, which can be killed with just a flip of the hand.

"Could it be that the envoy is looking for me to be happy? If you really want to find me happy, your goal has been achieved, haha!" Wei Shang was suddenly laughed angrily, why is it an angry laugh?Can you not be laughed at that the mighty Wei Empire was declared war by a country of women?

Faced with the ridicule and sarcasm of Wei Junchen, Bi Xinyue ignored it, and obtained a piece of gold silk satin from a female official entourage, with a few lines written on it, and the seal of the Emperor of the Moon was stamped on it. This was naturally Bi Xinyue's declaration of war book!

Bi Xinyue presented the declaration of war with both hands, and an eunuch standing next to the dragon chair was about to go down to get it, but was stopped by Wei Shang, "The envoy's declaration of war came late, and the fall of Dagu City was given by the Moon Empire." Great Wei Empire's best declaration of war, please pass it on to Moon Emperor, and Great Wei will send the same declaration of war to Moon Empire, and the weight will be ten times a hundred times more!" Wei Shang said with a playful smile on his lips.

"If that's the case, then don't blame me, Da Yue, for not declaring war. I, Da Yue, sent me a declaration of war!" Bi Xinyue said expressionlessly.

"Shameless!"

"Girls, how dare you be presumptuous!"

"hateful!"

Wu Baiguan couldn't help but cursed out of righteous indignation, he couldn't bear it!

Listen, is this what people say?It is obvious that she is fighting without declaring it, but she still wants to act like she is a shameless bitch.

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a reward, asking for a full order, and asking for four daily requests. I also hope that you will support me a lot. It's not easy for a humble author to do five things a day. Seeing that the humble author is working so hard, I don't support it. one time?"

Chapter 652 What If I Have No Money?Tax increase!

"Haha!" Wei Shang couldn't help laughing out loud, "You are the most shameless envoy I have ever seen in my life, but it doesn't matter, tell me, why did the Moon Empire attack my Great Wei? What about the Moon Empire? The reason? You know, the founding empress of the Moon Empire has set the precepts of her ancestors, and she must not interfere in any political affairs of the Wei Empire, let alone lead troops to attack Wei. What your country has done is deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors.

Bi Xinyue first handed the declaration of war to the female servants behind him, and then said to Wei Shang with righteousness and awe: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Wei, speaking of deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, you are treacherous and immoral. You Wei Shang may be the originator of this aspect. This point, Da Yue has enough reason to attack you, a traitor!"

"Wei Shang, cherish your current throne, I believe it won't be long before the prince's palace will lead the bandits to attack you!"

"Presumptuous!" Wei Shang roared angrily, got up suddenly from the dragon chair, stretched out his fingers to Bi Xinyue and shouted angrily: "Take her down, drag her out and stick her to death, no, take her naked and throw her on the ground." Let the beggars in the city ravage you on the street!"

The fall of Dagu City was not enough to make him, the Great Wei Emperor, furious, but Bi Xinyue's words directly ignited his powder keg!

"Hmph!" Bi Xinyue snorted coldly, and immediately took out a dagger from her sleeve. Seeing Bi Xinyue took out the dagger, the military officials were startled, and subconsciously exclaimed:

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Escort!"

tread... tread...

The Divine Emperor's Palace instantly became chaotic, all the military officials gathered under the high platform, and Wei Shang was protected inside. layer.

"Go away!"

Wei Shang walked down the high platform, kicked away the ministers standing in front of him with one kick and two kicks, and at the same time reached out to touch the sword at his waist, with a sound of swiping, a sharp sword light flashed out accompanied by a pleasant sword sound, and he pulled it out. After unsheathing the sharp sword, Wei Shang walked towards Bi Xinyue with the sharp sword in hand. Today, he will kill Bi Xinyue with his own hands, otherwise it will not be enough to relieve the hatred.

"Wei Shang, you will die a miserable death, hahaha!" Bi Xinyue laughed wildly, and then, under the shocked eyes of everyone, she fiercely wiped her neck with the dagger, "Puff!" A fountain of blood gushed out from Bi Xinyue's neck, and the person who was still alive just now turned into a cold corpse on the ground.

"Pfft!"

The two female servants slammed themselves backwards, and blood splashed all over the hall!

"hateful!"

"Damn!"

Seeing the person who was about to kill commit suicide, a wave of unknown anger rushed straight to Wei Shangtian's spirit cover, making Wei Shang rage like a thunder, slashing the air wildly with the sharp sword in his hand, venting the monstrous anger in his heart.

This is a blatant insult!

"Preach my will, send troops to attack the moon, and slaughter the Guangyue Empire, leaving no chicken or dog behind!" Wei Shang gritted his teeth and shouted in an extremely low voice!

Angry, he is really angry, he has never been so angry!

The ministers of Wu knelt down one after another and shouted angrily, "Your Majesty's orders are to be obeyed!"

Anyone can give birth, but Yueren cannot give birth, and must slaughter the country!

"Retreat!"

"Your Majesty is being sent off respectfully, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

After the disintegration of the dynasty, the war machine of the Great Wei Empire started to operate again, and a series of decrees came out from the capital of Zhongtian Emperor. These decrees were not only aimed at the armies of various places, but also aimed at the governments of all parts of the country, and even aimed at the Wei people all over the world!

Before the Great Wei Empire invaded the Great Wu Empire, the treasury had a full one billion taels of silver and hundreds of millions of grains, but after five years of fighting to destroy Wu, the treasury shrank greatly, leaving only 6000 million taels of silver. [-] million shi of grain.

After destroying the Wu Empire, not only did it fail to stop the consumption of the national treasury, but it consumed it faster and faster, because it was necessary to defend it, and it required money and food to defend it. In the Great Wei War, only one or two hundred million taels of silver and 2000 million shi of grain were left in the Wei treasury.

Before Wei ascended the throne, Great Wei had millions of armored troops. After he ascended the throne, Wei Shang expanded his army to one million. The empire has 200 million armored soldiers. With a mouth of 200 million troops, one day is 20 shi, and ten days is 200 shi. , One hundred days is 700 million stones, and one year is more than [-] million stones!

Originally, the Great Wei Empire was still self-sufficient, so there was no need to worry about food, and there was no need to worry about finances. The annual financial revenue of Great Wei was 6000 million taels of silver. A decrease of 6000 million taels of silver, and a decrease in food tax from 2000 million shi a year to 2000 million shi a year!

Year after year of fiscal deficits, the huge treasury of the Great Wei Empire is close to being exhausted. Originally, Wei Shang wanted to rest for two years and restore a little national power to the Moon-Facing Empire. However, under the anger, he lost his patience, but the treasury had no money or food. what to do?

Increase taxes!

Such as head tax, male tax, land tax, emperor empress, empress dowager's birthday tax, military tax, water conservancy tax, etc., there are only taxes that you can't think of, and there is no tax that he can't collect. It can be said that as long as the emperor is willing, the common people You may have to pay more than a dozen taxes overnight, which can squeeze a wealthy commoner dry!

The emperors of the Wei Dynasty spent hundreds of years to strengthen the country and enrich the people, and abolished dozens of miscellaneous taxes. Let the life of the common people be very hard, but he has no choice but to be reckless to the end, even if he hits the south wall, he has to knock down the south wall!
