Section 8 Imperial Capital (2)

"But your highness has thought that the Third and Fourth Corps are newly built, and most of the soldiers have not undergone war. If they do not train with the Taiping Rebellion Army, they are afraid that their combat effectiveness will be difficult to improve. How will it be applied to the battlefield in the future?" Jilin certainly did not know what the Ninth Prince, who was supervising the country, was thinking that although he was promoted to the Minister of Military Affairs as a civilian, he did not know nothing about military affairs, especially since he had been influenced by the military headquarters for a long time and had some understanding of military affairs. If an army had not been baptized by the war, it would not be able to become a qualified army.

"What's more, the Taiping Army is now unpopular in Jinzhong. If the imperial army takes the opportunity to go west at this time, it will definitely gain the full support of the gentry in Jinzhong. If Jinzhong can be restored, it will not only greatly increase the morale and people's hearts, but also make the imperial capital safe and secure." Seeing that the other party did not speak, the military minister thought the other party was a little moved, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"Dude, what you said is very reasonable, but the undercurrents in this imperial capital city, especially now that my father's dragon body is poor and has not been able to enter the court to govern the government. The court is also in panic. The Maqi Khan and the remnants of Taiping in the Wuhu area still cannot stay. If it is the third, the Fourth Legion will win in one battle. If it is defeated, I am afraid that the Taiping Army will take advantage of the situation to attack the imperial capital. People will be in chaos in the imperial capital city, and some people with ulterior motives will take advantage of the situation to rob. It is difficult for you and I to escape the blame." The young man in gorgeous clothes showed a sad face, but said such a truth. He said that he would defeat before he could fight. It is obvious that he was also skeptical about the combat effectiveness of these two legions.

The Minister of Military Affairs did not expect that the Ninth Highness, the governor of the State, had considered so far-reachingly, and had even estimated the possible consequences of the defeat. When he thought of the princes returning to Beijing, a layer of fine sweat suddenly oozed out of his head. In this battle, he and the Ninth Highness, the governor of the State, wanted to win in one battle, but would the other His Highness hope to do so? The battle for the throne has begun. Although he wanted to avoid it as much as possible, he was in such an important position.

After the current regimental Ninth Supreme, the Ninth Supreme, who was now supervising the country, took over the former military minister. What would the other His Highness think? It is unknown if they are really defeated. If they are really defeated, someone will inevitably target His Highness Ninth Supreme, and I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the scapegoat. I am not afraid of losing my official position, but if it involves the life and death of the entire family, I have to act carefully. Isn’t Chen Xiangnan, the former commander of the Southern Imperial Military Region, a typical example? Thinking of this, Jilin’s back felt cold again.

"Your Highness is very worried, and the subordinates are a little hasty. Why not order the Third and Fourth Legion to continue training troops, but not to leave the imperial capital to ensure safety around the imperial capital." Jilin never dared to propose a conquest again, and was determined to agree with the other party's intentions.

"Well, this is a move that emphasizes the country. If the city guard army has an opportunity to find, it is better to wait for an opportunity to fight. I believe that with Yusufu's years of experience, it will be possible to maintain an invincible situation." The young man in Jinyi obviously did not want to be too conservative. If he could achieve some local small victories and add some weight to himself in the upcoming battle for the throne, this is what he hoped to see.

"Then according to Your Highness's wishes, the military headquarters will immediately write to the City Guard Corps, asking them to find opportunities to fight, without fighting for a city or a land, and wait for an opportunity to eliminate the enemy while ensuring undefeated, and strengthen my reputation." The Minister of Military Affairs fully understood the intention of the Lord Supervisor and said casually, and the young man in brocade nodded repeatedly and said yes.

"Dude, has any new news come from the northwest during this period?" After talking about several matters that were urgently needed, the young man in Jinyi asked about the northwest affairs.

"Return to Your Highness, Li Wufeng has defeated the Luobei people's expedition to the east, and forced the Tubu people to surrender. He heard that he had signed a peace treaty with the Luobei people and the Tubu people. Now our empire's reputation has been greatly improved on the Tenggeri grassland. Even the envoys in Beijing from the Western Continent have asked about this matter. The countries of Liberia are more concerned about this matter than the people. The envoys in Beijing from the Nasirou Empire have met with Sariden many times, saying that the empire's extensive military expansion in the northwest and the military military on the Tenggeri grassland

Wu has seriously endangered the security situation in the Tengri grassland and the adjacent Liberia Plain in the west, greatly poisoning the local peace atmosphere and demanding that the empire restrain the northwest, otherwise the consequences will be borne by the empire." The Minister of Military Affairs introduced with a wry smile, "Saridon also told me that I have never seen Sisloruo so fiercely. He used to make appointments, but now he has become a request for a meeting. Although his tone is still tough, even the fool can see that they are really a little guilty."

"Hmph, don't pay attention to the Sisro people. Slowly say that Jiayuguan is controlled by the Kaman people. Even if they can take the route south from Jiayuguan, they also need to go south through Li Wufeng's territory and let them challenge Li Wufeng. If they have the ability to defeat Li Wufeng, then we don't blame them." The young man in brocade showed a contemptuous smile on his face, "The consequences are just being arrogant there? What consequences? Is the Imperial Capital still afraid of severing diplomatic relations with them? What a joke!"

"It is said that when Li Wufeng's army went west to the Tengri Grassland, the Ganlan Fortress north of Yinchuan Prefecture. Unexpectedly, Li Wufeng was prepared for it. They were bleeding from the front of Ganlan Fortress and suffered a secret loss. Li Wufeng also threatened to retaliate against the Sisro's provocation. Their envoy was probably worried that Li Wufeng would instruct the Mots to sweep their western regions, so he hoped that the empire could mediate the operations to restrain the northwest." Jilin explained, "The countries of Liberia have always been in the same mood, and the Puer and the Kaman people also came to help. Saridon probably wasn't annoyed."

After sighing, the young man in Jinyi looked a little confused. He stood up and turned around in the study twice before saying, "Mr. Jilin, why did Li Wufeng defeat Luo Beiren repeatedly? But when the more than 200,000 troops of the empire were defeated by Luo Beiren in Qingyang. What is the reason in the middle?"

This is a problem that the young man in Jinyi always wanted to figure out. At that time, the more than 200,000 troops of the empire were defeated by Luo Bei within a few days. Li Wufeng was just a regiment leader but was able to lead his troops to resist several times of his Luo Bei's cavalry, winning a shocking battle, laying the foundation for his rise to the northwest in one fell swoop, and then he was even more out of control. He defeated Luo Bei twice, defeated Luzon, fought against the Taiping Army, subdued Mot, surrendered Tubu, and made great achievements in military achievements. It is not an exaggeration to call him the number one martial arts person since the establishment of the empire, but this guy was only in his twenties, which is indeed a bit unacceptable.

"This, I'm afraid this can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, Your Highness. At the beginning, Li Wufeng's strength rejection of Luo Beiren should have said that there were some gambling elements in it, but Li Wufeng's strategic and tactical movements later were indeed quite successful. He pressed Luo Beiren on the Tenggeri grassland, and eliminating the chaos army also became a good opportunity for him to train troops. His success should be a combination of multiple factors." The Minister of Military Affairs' explanation is not without reason.

"Maybe, I always think that Li Wufeng's luck is too good, but when I think about it, luck cannot always be with someone. This shows that Li Wufeng is still a little real. Look at him treating the barbarians on the Tengger Grassland well, you must admire him." The young man in Jinyi said with some envy, "I really hope he can make achievements for the empire and expand territory, and not let down his father's expectations of him."

The colorful night scene shows that Zhongzhou, the most prosperous city in the Eastern Continent, has not been greatly affected by the unfavorable situation in the empire. Liujin Street, a prosperous scene, is still full of traffic. This is the heart of the nightlife of the imperial capital. Someone once joked that if a fire broke out on one night, two-thirds of the ministers in the imperial center would be absent the next day, and more than half of the large shops in the imperial capital would not be able to operate. Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it also fully demonstrates the importance of Liujin Street in the imperial capital entertainment industry and the upper class. According to statistics from the Imperial Capital Taxation Bureau, the tax revenue of industry venues on the street alone accounts for more than one-third of the total tax revenue of the Imperial Capital entertainment industry, which can be said to have contributed half of the sky to the Imperial Capital entertainment industry.

Liuyunxuan is a hotel with a strong Western Mainland style. Its specifications and forms are completely imitated by the royal style of the Western Mainland Wang Family. In addition to preparing to use enough luxury accommodation suites, there are also many ordinary rooms of general specifications for ordinary people who come to the imperial capital to enjoy. Its Western restaurant is also well-known in the imperial capital. What is particularly rare is that it also has an extraordinary Western multi-functional hall, which is enough to accommodate more than 200 people for cocktail parties and dance parties. It is also one of the best places for merchants from the Western Mainland to do business in the imperial capital and envoys from various countries to Beijing to hold banquets and dance parties.

Tonight, Liuyunxuan was crowded with people. As luxury carriages entered the hotel parking lot one after another, the hotel doormen and waiters were already waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests at the entrance of the inner door. Obviously, a large number of the guests were not Tang people, either deep eyes and high noses, or blonde hair and blue eyes. Even if they spoke, they mostly spoke in Lanian. Of course, many people were very fluent in Tang language, but occasionally they had a strange Western mainland accent.

A portrait of a soldier in full military uniform was hung in the foyer, and a short banner written in Tang and Lanian languages, "Celebration of the 20th anniversary of His Majesty Fifth Ascension to the throne". Today is Liu Yunxuan hosted the celebration of the Sithro Empire's Minister to the capital to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ascension of the Sithro Empire. Preparation began a week ago. The Minister of the Sithro Empire in Beijing specially invited envoys from various countries to Beijing and many large merchants with trade exchanges with the Sithro Empire. Of course, some officials of the Tanghe Empire and important people from the upper class were also invited.
