Zuang Liang will head to capital

Half a month later..."

Mo Fan was somewhat happy to know that he would return to the capital.

Now that he knew the direction of history, he gradually accepted the fact that the Daqi Dynasty was doomed.

Daqi could not turn the tide!

Chen Kui clenched the handle of the Mo Dao in his hand, "I want to kill him, I'm so angry."

"Damn it, I worked hard on the battlefield to kill the enemy, just to protect such a thing that is worse than a beast."

"What contribution has he made to the people? He and Prime Minister Su have been excluding dissidents and killing loyal people all day long. He is not worthy of being an emperor at all!"

"No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I can't just let it go!"

The other soldiers also felt chilled.

He repelled more than 500,000 enemy troops, but not only did he not get any reward, he did not get promoted.

Instead, his parents in the capital were threatened and hanged on the city wall.

Who can tolerate this!

They were all indignant and scolded the little emperor!

Some said that he should be forced to abdicate and choose a virtuous prince to take the throne.

There are also suggestions to re-support an obedient little emperor, preferably one who has just been born, so that he is easier to control, and then he will be raised by the empress dowager. Even when it comes to nominating new candidates, they discusses whether it should be the third prince of the previous emperor, the fifth prince, or the bad dragon seed of the little emperor's concubine...

Of course, Xu Huaijiu's troops discussed it most actively. Only the ten former soldiers of Zhan Chengyin were silent with cold eyes. They have not experienced the despair of closing the city. They have not experienced the despair of 550,000 troops pressing in and the plague raging in the city. They have never personally fought on the battlefield and killed the enemy, so they cannot empathize with the Zhan family army. The Zhan family army has worked so hard to defend the country, why should they give it to the stingy Daqi royal family?

If the emperor treats them as human beings, they will not be so resentful. Zhan Chengyin frowned, suppressed the anger in his heart, and raised his hand to stop everyone's discussion.

"In half a month, this general will bring 100,000 troops back to Beijing."

Zhan Chengyin now has 300,000 people under his command. There are 20,000 veterans of the Zhan Family Army, all of whom fought their way out of the dead. There are more than 20,000 new soldiers recruited from the civilians of the town. They also have combat experience. Xu Huai has 100,000 troops under his command. They are veterans, but they have little combat experience. All of them add up to 140,000.

Wu Li brought 120,000 people, all new recruits.

In the several battles they fought, in addition to overwhelming numbers, there were also similar fights with weapons.

So Wu Li's group of people cannot move yet and have to continue training in Zhenguan. Wu Li knelt on the spot and kowtowed to Zhan Chengyin, saying, "General, since we have surrendered to you, we will not say anything even if you let us die."

"But we have just arrived in Zhenguan, and our families have settled down. We have finally looked forward to a good life..."

"We really don't want to give up this good place, Zhenguan, and travel a long way back."

Zhan Chengyin said to him, "The rebels will not move, and continue to guard Zhenguan!"

Wu Li was relieved when he heard this.

Fortunately~

"Thank you, General. After we have trained well, we will definitely kill back and chop off the little emperor!"

Zhan Chengyin shook his head. "No, you continue to guard the border."

"Don't take it lightly just because Zhenguan has food and water and can farm."

"The barbarians are determined to destroy our Daqi, and they will come back. As long as the news of my return to Beijing spreads..."

"It is hard to guarantee that the barbarians will continue to unite with Chu and Qi to fight back again!"

"The news that Zhenguan has food and water cannot be concealed. Now the world is suffering from a severe drought, but Zhenguan has food."

"Those countries will definitely come to grab it!"

Therefore, before he left, he had to bury explosives near the boundary monument to prevent the enemy from invading.

He built a lookout tower and drones to patrol all day...

In places that are extremely easy to attack, he had to build walls to surround them.

He also had to dig a huge underground cave to store groundwater, which is enough for the people of Zhenguan to use for one or two years.

It can also irrigate the fields.

This underground cave has been found, and the excavator is digging it. It must be large and deep enough...

The school has been built, and I hope it can open smoothly after the 15th.

Then, Zhan Chengyin said with a serious expression:

"Tomorrow, the temple of the gods will be completed, and a sacrificial ceremony will be held at an auspicious time!"

"All soldiers must participate to thank the gods for saving the people of Zhenguan and the Zhan family army."

Not to mention the Yellow Flag Army, even Zhan Chengyin could overthrow the Daqi royal family!

He had to make preparations in advance and evacuate the Mo family from the capital and arrange them in various parts of Daqi.

Preserve the family's strength and survive the famine in two years.

Then Zhan Chengyin asked Mo Fan: "How many iron mines have been found in Daqi?"

According to the books sent by the gods, the iron mines are in Hanzhong and Shangluo.

There are the Daxigou Iron Mine in Zhashui, the Yudongzi Iron Mine, and the Bijigou Iron Mine... Mo Fan said, "As far as I know, several iron ore deposits have been found..."

"The map is confidential, we won't get it easily."

"We have to find a way to find the map! Are the people who surveyed the terrain at that time still alive?"

"Yes, even if the fathers of the previous emperor found it, the sons and grandsons are still alive."

"The first thing to do when entering Beijing is to bribe these people!"

Iron ore deposits are very important. Mu Qixiu only needs to find the mountain where the iron ore is deposited, and he can make weapons by himself after digging.

He defeated the Daqi Orthodox Army.

In the words of the gods, in the era of cold weapons, as long as the weapons are handy, half of the victory is won.

Since we want to unify Daqi, it is not enough to rely on the gods to send weapons.

They dig ore, smelt it into refined iron by themselves, and then make weapons.

Even if it is made into Tang Mo Dao or Tang Heng Dao, it is also very useful.

So it is imperative to find iron ore.

When talking about this, Zhuang Liang suggested: "General, why not start with smelting the sword?"

In the Great Qi period, smelting fine iron and forging swords were inherited from the family.

These big families may know where the iron ore is.

Why is the Yellow Flag Army so fierce and has advanced weapons? It is because one of the aristocratic families who supported the uprising was famous for forging swords. Among

Zhan Chengyin's swords, there is a sword given by the previous emperor, which was forged by that aristocratic family.

He nodded and said, "Okay, the team that came to Beijing, in addition to rescuing my mother and Chen's parents, the rest of the people took water and food to visit the forging families in Beijing."

Zhuang Liang said, "General, this matter can be handed over to me. The teacher has a good relationship with several forging families!"

The descendants of the forging families will also enter the academy, and will visit the teacher and give him gifts.

Zhuang Liang is also the teacher's favorite student, so there are some intersections!

Ordinary people may not meet them when they visit.

But Zhuang Liang will definitely meet.

Zhan Chengyin nodded: "Okay."

"You go and prepare now!"

"Yes!"

After Mo Fan and Zhuang Liang left.

Zhan Chengyin looked at the secret letter from the Yellow Flag Army Lu Zejun and burned it on paper.

Perhaps Mo Fan told Cui Tonghe and Mo Yong... Zhan Chengyin would return to Beijing in half a month.

The two no longer asked to see Zhan Chengyin, and followed him.

*

After dawn, Zhan Chengyin convened all the soldiers for a meeting.

Show the emperor's edict to Chen Kui and Chen Wu.

The two men were immediately furious and threatened on the spot that they would lead troops into the capital and kill the little emperor.

How could he chill the hearts of the soldiers like this? ?

If it weren't for Zhan Chengyin and the Chen brothers, who risked their lives to resist the barbarians in Zhenguan,

Daqi would no longer exist.

Not to mention, at the beginning of the war, the Zhan family army was out of food and water, and the whole city was in a desperate situation. Even so, the little emperor was still forcing Zhan Chengyin to hand over his military power and watched the barbarian army die without help!

How could he hang the general's parents on the city wall in order to let the Zhan family army suppress the Yellow Flag Army?

This person does things illogically, is crazy, and extremely selfish...

He thinks the world revolves around him.

Everyone has to listen to him.

If anyone disobeys his order, he will threaten his family.
