Chapter 443

It is learned that Lianshan Pass has fallen.

perturbed!

confused!

fear!

…

All kinds of negative emotions spread among the front-line soldiers, not because they were not determined, but because they lost too badly, and almost all the prisoners were elite.

Um!

At least in their eyes they are elite.

Except for the state army.

Both the imperial guards and the guards suffered losses.

Due to the emergency on the front line, a large number of recruits were recruited, and the bad news was heard as soon as they arrived. Hundreds of thousands of "senior" were captured. These new recruits, how can they have much fighting spirit?

"You have a great mission."

"Your Majesty has high hopes for you."

"Once the rebellion is suppressed..."

"..."

A school lieutenant stood on the stage, expressing his loyalty to the emperor, and drawing big cakes.

pity.

The soldiers below have already scolded in their hearts.

snort!

When we are stupid?

Besides, if you want us to die, at least the treatment should keep up, but look at what you have done these days, even if you want to be loyal, you are completely chilled.

Can't eat enough.

Not a good place to live.

Even weapons and armor are missing, some only have a kitchen knife, can you believe it?

ask.

is being built.

I......

Building your brother-in-law, where did the empire's reserves go for so many years? It was only later that I heard some seniors explain the reason, and it turned out that the arsenal was almost emptied.

Taking advantage of storage loss and changing it every five years, many people are greedy for money.

Forget it, sell old weapons to make some money, bear with it, but you don't manufacture new weapons at all, you just pay the bills, and only one number is circulating in the books.

This is too much hello.

All right now.

Food, not enough.

Bingjia, not enough.

Even 1/3 of the siege equipment can be directly used as firewood, and the other 1/3 are almost falling apart on the way of transportation.

The remaining third also has size issues.

However, due to the fact that there are too many families involved and the power is too strong, no relevant punishment has been seen so far. Under such a background, you are desperate for the empire.

Crazy you!

certainly.

On the surface, you still have to pretend to be 'morale boosted'.

As for going to the battlefield, whether you are really desperate or not depends on the situation.

If you really want to head against the wind, you can learn from your predecessors. There is no other news, but the news that the prisoners eat and drink well is widely circulated, and it cannot be suppressed.

I heard that there is enough food and pay on the opposite side, but I don't know if it is true or not.

It should be true if you think about it, the south is rich in food.

When I came out to fight a battle, I had worse food than I had in the village before.

This is a matter of raising the head, are you just perfunctory them like this?

. . .

Thousands of miles away, Nanyu Imperial Capital.

In the palace.

Seeing the new news, Prince He almost lost his temper.

"Snapped!"

Just dropped the letterbox.

boom!

Kicking over the table in front of him, the documents were scattered all over the floor, the waiters around were silent, lowered their heads, they didn't dare to look at Prince He at all, for fear of being vented.

"inability!"

"waste!"

"..."

Prince He couldn't help cursing.

These days, switching from defense to offense should be able to contain the rebels going north. In the past twenty days, there has been no bad news, and they thought the strategy was successful.

Just breathed a sigh of relief.

This big gift hit her face, it came suddenly, without any preparation.

The face is swollen.

He knew very well what the loss of Lianshan Pass meant.

1. There is no danger on the front line.

2. The intention of the rebels to go north has been clearly revealed. It is not a deterrent as previously guessed, but a step-by-step plan and implementation.

Now, the front door is open.

God knows what's next.

Logically speaking.

There is no need to be so decadent. After all, the empire has continued to increase its troops, and now it has exceeded two million, and it is still increasing.

However, more people mean nothing.

Those who were captured were all veterans, and half of the frontline soldiers had just joined the army. Of course, Prince He was very clear about the combat effectiveness of such soldiers.

Downwind is okay.

Headwind... Pills!

Also this battle.

Let him know how riddled the interior of the Nanyu Empire is.

Food, concealed, is not enough for the front line to eat.

Bingjia, pay the bill.

Thinking of this, Prince He admired the innovative ideas of those people. Anyway, there is no stick, and the armor is worn out every year, so in the end, they didn't make new ones at all.

The way of direct payment is greedy for ink.

until now.

Some soldiers have to go to the battlefield with kitchen knives.

shame!

What a shame.

He wished he could kill all the people involved, but he also knew that he couldn't kill them, not to mention the opposition from the court, if he really killed them, how much turmoil would it cause?

Taking advantage of this opportunity and letting the rebels take advantage of it, that's fine.

Therefore, you can't move, and if you want to move, you will be punished after suppressing the rebellion.

Headache!

Although they have been warned, it will take time for the frontline soldiers to be replenished! ! !

Is it possible to ask neighboring countries to borrow soldiers?

What a joke.

It's too embarrassing.

Now, the other forces are just watching a joke. They don't really care about the life and death of the Nanyu Empire, as long as they don't harm themselves.

As for buying weapons?

"..."

no money!

It is already very difficult for the empire's treasury to support the food and grass on the front line. Even now, orders placed to almost all blacksmith shops in cities are on credit.

Salt and iron franchise.

The iron ore has been controlled by the government, so there is no need to pay for it for the time being, and the iron ore is used as labor expenses.

truth.

For a moment, Prince He wanted to invite troops from all three parties, but he was concerned about face.

ah! ah! ah!

This mess is so annoying!

. . .

Outside the palace.

In the imperial capital.

at this time.

More and more people are preparing to run away and transfer their property. With a series of news coming back, they are becoming less and less hopeful about the success rate of counter-insurgency.

Just kidding, how can the war be fought like this?

And I'm also afraid of reckoning after the fall.

Those who can get first-hand information are mostly well-connected.

in.

There are many people who share a share of food and armor. Generally speaking, if you don’t recruit soldiers, it doesn’t matter if there is a little shortage of food, and armor is enough.

After all, those on active duty must have a suit of armor to deal with it.

However.

Frontline soldiers were captured in large numbers.

The Empire ordered a frenzied recruitment.

moment.

The gap in soldiers armor is too big to make up. Even if there are some stocks of millions of soldiers armor, they can only meet less than half of them, and the problem is exposed all at once.

Prince He was furious.

Not cleaning up for now doesn't mean not cleaning up in the future.

In fact, it is impossible to say that the major families have no troops, but at this time, who would dare to support them? In hindsight, what are you hoarding weapons for?

The empire, which has been irritated by the rebels, will definitely find out afterwards.

Therefore, it is important to leave a way out.

Transfer property, transfer family, manage up and down.

It is safe to go to the neutral zone of Yuancheng.

To this.

Of course the empire has restrictions, but don't forget, guarding the fortress leading to Yuancheng is also the military system of the empire. How many people are clean in it?

Clear it up, any checkpoints are just decorations.

. . .

In addition to participating in corruption, some wealthy merchants are also preparing to run away. Although the spies have been cut off, it does not mean that no news has come out of the five states.

have.

And not a lot.

After all, the five states, one hundred cities, and the Dayan Empire all have long borders.

There is not much news about Beizhou and Jianzhou from the front, but some information can still be obtained from the border contacts of the three southern states.

It turned out to be a headache.

Hit local tyrants.

Loot big households.

Some old cases, nothing more than the death of a pariah, have to be dug up and investigated.

Then use this to confiscate the family property and fine.

In this case.

How many big and small families in the imperial capital have to be liquidated? Few of them could escape, and such eating made them full of unfriendliness towards the south.

Some people who wanted to be fools simply gave up their thoughts and were always ready to run away.
