Dali
Murong shameful glanced at the people of Russia with high toes and high spirits below, and his anger didn't come at all. The military newspaper on the desk in front of him was sent early in the morning. Three of the four cities in the north have been lost. The most shocking and angry thing is that Peicheng and Fengping were broken almost at the same time. Murong shame said nothing. He didn't expect the black flag army to progress so fast!
Before and after the war report was sent, but three days later, three cities were lost!
You should know that Fengping city is guarded by veteran Zhu Baotian. Murong shame knows the old man. He has a military career of 50 years. No one can compare the whole Nanyan in terms of his qualifications. I thought he would not lose at least in Fengping. Although Zhu Baotian is not expected to go out of the city to defeat the black flag army, guarding the city for a long time will inevitably consume some of the black flag army's troops.
As a result, Zhu Butian didn't hold, the war report was unknown, and he didn't know how he was broken by the enemy in an instant. The old man who is respected as the first man of Nanyan army seems to be too unworthy of his name.
As for Peicheng... Bai Kaishan, who stayed in Peicheng, once boasted in front of him that Peicheng was one of the four most unlikely cities to be conquered in the world, and the other three were Chang'an, Yongzhou and Dali. At that time, although Murong shame knew that Bai Kaishan was arrogant and boastful, that guy had never seen Chang'an. As for Yongzhou, it was broken down decades ago. But after all, Peicheng was the ancestral land of the state of Shang. Its walls were tall and strong, and there were tens of thousands of people. As a result, it was easily won by the black flag army.
He was angry, and the people at the imperial censor station below were still chattering about the crimes committed by the Ross in Dali city. And those Ross people look completely indifferent, and their expressions are even more disgusting.
These foreign barbarians have only been here for many days, and they have done countless evil things in the city. Robbing vendors' things on the street at will and defiling good family women in broad daylight happen almost every day. However, officials of Dali government dare not do anything about these foreigners!
After listening to the interpreter explain the accusation of the old censor against himself, boskov, the leader of the Russian people, glanced and said: "I don't know what this old guy is talking about. In his words, it seems that people in Russia are demons, but your majesty knows that we are here with the goodwill of Russia and the friendship of opru empire. Your majesty also said that we are friends of Yan people. Do I have to pay for some fruit at my friend's house?"
"As for saying that those people under my command are disrespectful to women, I'm sorry, your majesty. It may be that there are some differences in customs between our two countries. In our country, if a man loves a woman, he can express his thoughts to her on any occasion. I don't know that women in your country are not free to accept the love of other men, even if they don't have a family."
"Enough!"
After listening to the interpreter, Murong's face sank: "you are guests, you should know to respect your master."
Boscofton shrugged his shoulders and said, "well, I apologize for my men."
"Apologize?!"
The old man at the imperial censor's desk said angrily, "you barbarians think an apology is enough?"
"What else do you want? Old man, if you were so rude to me in Rose country, I would have shot you in the head. We respect you very much because we are in Yan country. If you are so rude again, even if we are here to express friendship, I will not forget how to protect a man's dignity."
"Shut up!"
Murong shamefully waved his hand: "this matter is over, boskov. If you don't restrain your subordinates, I will punish you according to the laws of Dayan! After all, this is the state of Yan, not your state of Ross!"
"All right"
Boskov spread his hand: "I accept your suggestion, your majesty. I will restrain my subordinates."
"Your majesty!"
At the age of 60, the imperial envoy knelt down sadly: "These foreigners have committed many crimes, and every one of them should be punished! If we let them go, isn't Dayan's law in vain? The country can't be restless and the people can't be disturbed. If they don't abide by the law and break the law, won't they lose their trust to the people? Your majesty, think twice. These people can't be easily forgiven. These barbarians trample on the king's law day by day, invade the people and get their hands dirty It's the blood of the people of the state of Dayan, your majesty! "
"This..."
Murong shamed changed his sitting posture: "as you said, they came from a wild and rough place. It's understandable that they don't understand the rules. After all, they are not familiar with the customs of Dayan. Give them some time to adapt. A great country, we can't lose the way of Hospitality. Moreover... I've warned them that we will never forgive them again!"
The imperial envoy stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't abide by the law, the country will be defeated!"
"Bold!"
Murong said angrily, "I want to comfort you when you are old enough. Don't forget your identity! Open your mouth and shut up. The country will not be a country. Did you tell me about my country? Or can you kill it? Come on, fork him out and take off his official clothes if you dare to talk nonsense!"
"Your majesty!"
The imperial envoy lamented, "this is your country, and the country is your people! They are all your people. Now your people have been wronged. Instead of helping them, you help a group of villains! If this matter is publicized, how will the people look at you!"
"Fork out, fork out!"
Murong shame waved his hand impatiently, and immediately several warriors in front of the hall came up to pick up all the Imperial Envoys and dragged them out. The old man was dragged away, still shouting loudly.
"Retreat!"
Murong shame stood up, looked at the people below, and then went away.
Prime Minister Zhu Chijian waved his hand to the ministers to retreat, then called the garrison general de Shan of Dali city and confessed a few words. De Shan nodded, looked at boskov and left. Zhu Chijian ignored the Russians and hesitated, followed by Murong shame and walked into the palace.
……
……
"Calm down, your majesty. All the Royal envoys are loyal to their duties. He has always been so upright. Your majesty has praised him before. What these people hate most is that mouth, but it is also the most useful mouth. They are lucky to meet a holy and benevolent monarch like your majesty, otherwise the people of the Royal Observatory dare not be so presumptuous."
"Why don't I know he's right?"
Murong sighed, stopped by the pavilion of the imperial garden and pointed inside: "sit with me for a while."
Zhu Zhijian bowed down and asked Murong shame to be advanced.
Murong shame sat down in the pavilion, rubbed his wrinkled eyebrows and said, "there have been three copies of the frontier war report in three days, and there is no good news! Those city leaders are so arrogant that they don't even pay attention to me. Now, they are swallowed by the black flag army one by one, but the other doesn't even burp!"
"I'm worried about this. I don't have the mind to take care of the people of Russia. I know they really don't speak well, but after all, there are only five or six hundred people. Although I'm not a powerful country in the world, can't I even accommodate hundreds of foreign friends?"
"Compared with the black flag army, those people in Russia don't care!"
He angrily patted the stone table: "there are 60000 or 70000 troops in the three big cities, which is similar to the strength of the black flag army! In less than ten days, all the three cities have been lost. Now there is only one Jin'an left in the north of Dali city. If Jin'an can't keep it, the enemy in four hundred miles can come in less than three days!"
"Your Majesty, it's incompetence!"
Zhu Chijian quickly dropped his head.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Murong shook his head: "I said long ago that if all the cities hand over their military power and the people and horses in all the cities are under unified control, there should be 200000 troops! If these 200000 troops are gathered in one place, can Fang Xie easily win? Now the forces in all the cities are scattered and broken by each other, and there is no mutual trust between the cities, so how can he expel the foreign enemy?"
Zhu Chijian was slightly stunned, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
At this moment, the Emperor didn't think about how to defeat the enemy, but how to take back the rights of each city. Jin'an is the smallest of the four cities in the north. It's strange that it can block the black flag army with more than 10000 troops and poor equipment. If Jin'an loses, Dali will be in danger.
At the beginning, the families of Nanyan acquiesced in Murong shame's accession to the throne because he was not a man of great talent. But who would have thought that Murong shame was still stupid at this moment!
"I think... If I can't, I'd better..."
Murong shame stopped complaining, hesitated and said, "why don't you send a competent person to negotiate with the black flag army? I can't rely on those Russians. With hundreds of people and more than a dozen guns, we can really stop the 100000 black flag army? If we can, it's all right. But if we can't stop the Russians, we have to worry about our country!"
"Negotiation?"
Zhu Chijian was silent for a moment and said, "if we negotiate, we must give up something, and it's enough to satisfy the appetite of the black flag army. Your majesty thinks, what can satisfy Fang Xie's appetite?"
The irony in his words was already obvious, but the worried Murong shame didn't hear it at all: "The big deal is that I don't want the three lost cities. Anyway, the three cities have never been controlled by the imperial court. If Fang Xie can withdraw his troops, it's best. If not, it's a big deal... I'll send back all the things robbed by Murong yongduo and... Compensate him more."
Zhu Chijian sneered twice in his heart and said: "If it is negotiated, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army... Why don't your majesty invite the city leaders of the southern cities to Dali for discussion? If all families join forces, there are at least more than 100000 people and horses. In addition, we occupy a favorable place, we may not be able to win. As far as I know, Fang Xie maintained his rule in Yongzhou by slaughtering all aristocratic families, but this rule is not stable."
"Once Fang Xie's troops are defeated, there will be riots in the rear. At that time, we can not only take back the three lost cities, but also enter the Pingshang road..."
"Marching?"
Murong shame shook his head again and again: "if there were no troops last time and no solution for this attack, forget it... I think you might as well preside over the peace discussion?"
Zhu Zhijian was stunned for a long time. Then he bowed and said, "just do it."
"Go"
Murong shameful ordered: "you can handle it yourself. You can't lose too much. If you can delay it, I expect that the internal chaos in the Sui Dynasty will soon spread to the southwest. As long as you delay Fang Xie and let him get some benefits, he won't stick to it for the stability of his territory. After all, the southwest of the Sui Dynasty is his foundation. Once other forces in the Sui Dynasty fight, he will lose more than he gains."
Zhu Chijian's heart brightened and said it was this abacus. Can you trust your safety on the enemy's enemy, and it's still the enemy of an unnecessary enemy. Is it reliable?
He was suddenly sad and couldn't help thinking of his family. He couldn't help sighing. He said in his heart that if Fang Xie hadn't been too hostile to the aristocratic family, the murderous spirit was too heavy. In fact, whether the country name of Nanyan was there or not was of little significance.
