Chapter 61 Strange

"Look at the newspaper, read the newspaper! His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire has recovered from the dragon body and is here to discuss politics!"

"In the latest "Daily Express", His Majesty the Emperor ordered the Five Lakes to be secured and ordered the Seventh Legion of the Empire to immediately advance to reinforce the Five Lakes!"

"Come on, the latest report from the Beijing Times, the Minister of Military Affairs, Duke Jilin ordered the Fifth and Sixth Corps of the Empire to cooperate with the Imperial Naval Fleet to quickly launch a counterattack against the Machikhan invaders and the Taiping Rebellion Party to drive the invaders out of the empire!"

The loud hawking of newspaper boys immediately set off a trend of buying newspapers in the entire imperial capital. Whether it was merchants, gentry and ordinary people, everyone was full of fantasy about this sudden good news. Many ordinary teahouses, tea shops who had always been listening to newspapers, donated a few copper coins and bought a newspaper and read them happily.

Since His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire was seriously ill and unable to attend court, the situation in the Empire State has deteriorated. Rumors have spread everywhere in the imperial capital, causing panic. The subjects living in the imperial capital are even more trembling every day, fearing that one day the Taiping Rebellion Party and the Maqi Khans suddenly came into the city. In the first month or two, the internal and external enemies of the two empires, the Taiping Rebellion Party and the Maqi Khan, joined forces to launch a crazy attack on the Wuhu area, which is known as the "granary of the Empire". In addition, within a month, half of the Wuhu County, Wen Ning, Baling, and Jiujiang Prefectures, fell respectively.

Affected by this situation, the food prices in the entire empire soared, and the food in the imperial capital has soared. The price of rice in one liter has soared from three to four copper coins to one silver coin and two copper coins per liter, and the price of wheat has also risen from three copper coins to one silver coin per liter. Grain merchants and prominent families in various parts of the empire have begun to hoard grain, and the price of grain is even rising. Even the food prices in the Jiangnan area, known as the hometown of fish and rice, have also historically broken through one silver coin and eight copper coins. This is the third time since the establishment of this dynasty, and the previous two grain shortages occurred after huge floods, but this time it was because of the fall of half of Wuhu County!

"Wow, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has really recovered, and the political discussion lasts for two hours! Now, the empire is saved!"

"Well, the Duke of Jilin has sent a special envoy to Wuhu to supervise the war. The Seventh Army heard that it was gathering in Huzhou and Gusu, and it was probably about to enter Wuhu to fight. Damn Maqihan robbers, it should be learned a lesson now."

"I heard that Your Majesty is in good spirits and has instructed the City Guards and the Northern Military Region to launch a counterattack on the Beiyuan area occupied by the Taiping Rebellion Party. It is said that the newly formed Third and Fourth Corps are also preparing to go to Heshuo. It seems that the empire is really hopeful."

The imperial news media, which had been dull for more than half a year, finally made a proud statement. Although there is no sign of improvement in the situation, the recovery of His Majesty the Emperor is indeed a major event worth celebrating. It has made some promising predictions and encouragement, and it is also a necessary means for the current confused and helpless imperial morale. The Imperial Press and Publication Agency, which has always been strict, even explicitly or secretly, will express that it will support the imperial news media to publish more reports that are conducive to encouraging the morale of the imperial people, and hope that the news media can cooperate more.

While surprised that His Majesty the Emperor recovered, the ministers in the court collectively congratulated His Majesty on the Emperor. On the other hand, they all conveyed such a message to their close-knit masters. His Majesty's illness has been cured and will regain the government's control. The attitude towards the invasion of the Taiping Rebellion Party and the Maqi Khan will be stronger. They will even sacrifice their efforts to issue large-scale orders to require the legions to fight back with all their strength according to the orders. This is an obvious signal.

Situ Yuan knew that he was going to spend another sleepless night. The news from the imperial capital was obviously not good. His father's sudden miraculous recovery made him feel incredible. Half a year ago, he spent a lot of money to pay attention to the imperial doctor's condition. The imperial doctor had clearly replied that unless a miracle happened, the father's body could only be delayed for one day. However, the father suddenly recovered and took charge of the government affairs again, and issued a series of orders that he could ignore, but ordering the Seventh Legion to enter the Five Lakes was undoubtedly cutting his heart. Thinking of this, Situ Yuan couldn't help but sigh to the sky. Is it really a way to do it? He finally used both soft and hard work from Lao Jiu, who was in charge of the country, to get the qualification to form the Tenth Legion. But to draw the Seventh Legion to the front line of the Five Lakes was simply a first-class bore, and he beat him up to the eyes of Venus, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

My father was so sick that he could not get up to manage the government some time ago, how could he recover completely? Situ Yuan was thinking about this issue hard. He was a little suspicious, but he did not dare to think deeply. Although Lao Jiu served as the state supervisor, he probably should not dare to do such a traitor. However, his father's sudden recovery did have many doubts. However, according to the reports of the ministers who attended the court meeting, there seemed to be nothing unusual. Unfortunately, there was still no news from his mother. The father's decree to order the Seventh Army to send troops to Wuhu and the order from the Ministry of War was urgent and he could not tolerate any delay. He was determined to delay, but he had to consider that if his father really recovered and he disobeyed the holy will, he was afraid that he would be imprisoned immediately. Thinking of this, Situ Yuan couldn't help but shivered again.

Could it be that the father was looking back? Situ Yuan, who was suspicious, suddenly had such an idea in his mind. Do he dare to resist or not? He shook his head subconsciously. This was too risky. Once the father was furious, he would be afraid that there would be a catastrophe. Fortunately, he had obtained the right to form the 10th Legion before his father recovered, and he had to take action immediately. If the father inquire, as long as he created a fait accompli and was recognized by the old ninth king of the country at that time, he would have nothing to say. It seems that he can only seize the time to form the 10th Legion, and he must also win over Zhang Tiande, a guy. Although he was about to go to the Five Lakes, as long as the Seventh Legion did not disperse, he could still firmly control him.

Deep down in his heart, Situ Yuan had accepted the reality he was facing now. Zhang Tiande was not Yusufu, and he would never dare to disobey his father's will. The only way at the moment was to find ways to trap him and tie him tightly with him, so that he would not be dragged away by his third brother after he arrived in Wuhu.

Situ Yuan's doubts were not the only one. His Majesty's sudden recovery also attracted the attention of many people, especially his repeated orders to fight back against the Pacific Rebellion Party and Machikhan's invasion, and asked Deputy Foreign Minister Jing Zezhong to send an envoy to the Kingdom of Milan to ask allies to send troops to support the imperial counterattack. This series of measures made many people sleepless all night.

Wu Feng's first reaction when he received the news was that Situ Mingyue was dead and the imperial capital was already controlled by Situ Lang and his supporters, but then more detailed information came to overturn his predictions. His Majesty the Emperor discussed the affairs of the government at the court meeting and issued orders in full view of the ministers. The information sent back by Gu Ji confirmed this, which also made Wu Feng confused.

He picked up the Xuanyu paperweight in his hand, as if the coolness coming from his hand could make his somewhat confused thinking clearer. He had been wandering around the study for half an hour, and even the guards outside the door were guessing that his boss must have encountered another emergency.

What is going on? Did Situ Mingyue suddenly become more and more sexual? Such a large-scale mobilization demanded a counterattack against the rebellion of the Taiping Rebellion Party and the invasion of the Maqi Khans would actually be carried out at the same time, and even asked his ally the Kingdom of Milan to join in? Is His Majesty the Emperor really ready to make a desperate bet and fight to the death with the Maqi Khans and the Taiping Rebellion Party? This does not conform to His Majesty the original style of this Emperor.

The Maqi Khans seemed to be shocked by the sudden counterattack of the Tanghe Empire. The information showed that the Maqi Khan army, which was originally preparing to advance north, had begun to retreat, and even gave up the northern areas of the Wenning and Baling prefectures that had been occupied. Perhaps they were also worried that under the strict orders of His Majesty the imperial army in Wuhu and Jiangnan would really have a bloody battle with them with real swords and guns.

Until Ling Tianhang arrived, Wufeng still did not realize that such a big change would suddenly occur in the empire's policies, and these changes might affect the direction of the Northwest Army's march into the Central Plains.

Ling Tianfang frowned and looked at all the information carefully from beginning to end, silently pondering, Wufeng did not urge him. He also knew that this sudden change had disrupted his original ideas. The empire launched a large-scale counterattack. Whether it was against the Maqi Khans or the Taiping Cult, the northwest had to calm down and observe. If it was against the Maqi Khans, Wufeng even planned to put some pressure on the Taiping Cult and try to keep the Taiping Cult at the current peaceful state so that the empire could resist foreign aggression wholeheartedly. Wufeng had already noticed that the Maqi Khans might have a strong enemy who would set foot in the Central Plains in the future, and his threat was even more than the Kamans.

"Will Situ Mingyue suddenly become so frigid? At the same time, it is incredible to launch an attack on the Taiping Sect and the Maqi Khan?" Ling Tianfang saw the joint in the middle, "I ordered the Seventh Army to cooperate with the Fifth and the Sixth Army to launch a counterattack on the Maqi Khan. Three legions have 300,000 people. Except for the Taiping Army Cheng Dayou team in the north, they can draw up to 250,000 people. Even if they can achieve results, they will probably have to pay a considerable price."

"Hehe, the decree is also strictly ordered the Northern Military Region and the City Guards to launch an attack on Beiyuan. Look at the mansion that Gu Ji copied back. His Majesty the Emperor's tone towards Situ Tai and the Northern Military Region is unprecedented. I am wondering how the Lord Highness, who has always made up his mind to preserve his strength, should deal with it this time?" Wu Feng smiled and picked up his hand and pinched his jaw with his thumb and index finger. He said thoughtfully.
