Chapter 304: Crazy Shang Dynasty - Proclamation of War
"Your Majesty."
His Highness Long De and all the civil and military officials were equally moved to tears when they heard Di Xin's heartfelt words.
What was it like when the king first came to the throne?
The treasury is empty, fertile land is scarce, the people are hungry, the administration is corrupt, and corrupt officials are rampant.
But now, the warehouse is solid and you know the etiquette, the food and clothing are enough, you know the honor and disgrace, white paper, salt, sugar, and the four sacred objects.
It brought a huge amount of wealth to the great merchants. The people settled down and the army was strong. It was already the greatest prosperity since the founding of the great merchants.
The reason why Ji Chang and others used the banner beside the Qing emperor to rebel against the great merchants.
It's just to have a legitimate opportunity to send troops.
"Your Majesty, please let me go out to fight, and I will definitely give you the head of that old thief Jichang."
Jian Jian's nose felt sour and he immediately stepped out of the queue, filled with righteous indignation.
If he had known that Ji Chang was so ambitious, he should have smashed his head with a whip when Ji Chang came to Shang Dynasty to congratulate him.
Huang Feihu also clasped his fists and stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if I ask for a battle, I will definitely defeat the bandit army and give the head of the Jichang dog thief."
On the general side, Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu took the lead, and the other generals were eager to try and asked for a fight one after another.
Emperor Xin looked at Fei Zhong and You Hun with a heavy heart, "The wish of the lonely king is to unify the world, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, with enough food and clothing. Now the new policy has been quite effective, the people's lives have been greatly improved, and the officials are clean and honest. , there is plenty of food and grass, but Xibohou insists on going against the will, raising the war, marching troops and causing chaos, it is not the blame of the lonely king. "
"Fei Zhong, where is You Hun?"
"I'm here."
Fei Zhong and You Hun quickly stepped forward.
"Quickly draft a message of conquest and spread it to all directions, so that the people of my country, Dashang, can see who King Gu is, and also let the people of Xiqi know who their Xibohou is."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fei Zhong and You Hun's eyes shone brightly. They were the best at drafting letters, so they nodded in agreement.
After Di Xin finished speaking, he looked at Wen Zhong, "Old Master, the lonely king has appointed you as the Grand Marshal of the world's troops and horses. You will control the world's troops and horses. No one is allowed to mobilize them without the king's order."
"I heard from Zhong and accepted the order."
Wen Zhong nodded seriously.
"Where is Huang Feihu?"
"I'm here."
"The lonely king has appointed you as the deputy marshal of the world's troops and horses. You will march with the old master and be responsible for guarding Chaoge. In addition, from now on, in Chaoge City, the whole city will be under martial law. All civil and military officials will perform their duties without any mistakes. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Di Xin finished speaking, he added, "Send a message to the general troops of Sishui Pass, Jiepai Pass, Chuanyunguan, Lintong Pass, and Tongguan to strengthen the alert and enforce martial law in all areas to be on guard against Xiqi!"
"yes."
Huang Feihu cupped his hands and said.
These five passes are the only way from Xiqi to Chaoge, the capital of Dashang Dynasty.
It is also the most convenient way for Xiqi to attack Dashang. If Xiqi wants to attack Dashang, he must take this route.
"Retreat from the court."
Emperor Xin sighed, looking sad, and with the help of Fei Zhong and You Hun, he retreated from the court.
The civil and military officials also retired and quit smoking throughout the process, which does not mean that their lives will be much easier, but the pressure on them will become heavier.
Time flies, two days have passed, and Fei Zhong and You Hun drafted a crusade.
The news spread almost throughout Dashang Internal Service and fell into the ears of every common person.
Fei Zhong and Youhun racked their brains to write the conquest message. They listed Ji Chang's ten major crimes and made Ji Chang stand opposite to all the people.
After the message was spread to Dashang Internal Service, it was also spread to Dashang Foreign Service at a rapid speed.
"What? Xibohou rebelled?"
"The current king is very talented and has great plans. He will carry on the past and open up the future. It is precisely because of the king that we have enough food and warm clothes. Without the king, how could we have the happy life today? Xibohou Jichang, damn it!"
"Damn it, launching a war just to satisfy your selfish desires without caring about the people is really a great traitor!"
"I heard that Ji Chang rebelled and used the banner beside the Qing monarch. The king is wise and powerful, and all the civil and military officials are responsible for it. Where did the traitor come from? I think that old boy Ji Chang is the traitor!"
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if this land isn't cultivated, I want to be a soldier and conquer Xiqi!"
"What's the use of reading this book ten thousand times? It's better to protect your home and country."
In just a few days, the entire Dashang was completely in a state of excitement!
Countless young men resolutely threw away the land in their hands and chose to join the army!
Countless scholars have chosen to join the army and choose to pick up a long sword to protect their families and country.
As for the merchants, wealthy households, and wealthy landlords, they took out the money they had saved at home and donated it directly to the big merchants!
Although Emperor Xin only succeeded to the throne for more than 20 years, the entire DaShang civil service is changing with each passing day. Rich households, wealthy merchants, and rich merchants have made countless profits!
Even the poorest farmers can rely on the output of the fields to keep themselves fed and clothed.
You can even have some spare money in your hands to make purchases during the New Year and have a fulfilling New Year.
You know, this kind of life was absolutely invisible during Emperor Yi's period. All of this is due to Emperor Xin's reforms!
This contribution connects the interests of everyone at Dashang, no one wants to touch it.
Who is the enemy of all the people of Dashang, and Ji Chang is obviously that enemy!
Just one month after the conquest was sent out, a total of three million people joined the army.
The wealthy merchants donated a total of 30 billion copper coins, totaling 30 million coins.
In the Longde Hall, Fei Zhong and You Hun's hands were trembling.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of people who have been drafted into the army in the past month, as well as the money and food donated by each household. Take a look."
Di Xin took the report presented by Fei Zhong and You Hun, glanced at it, and was slightly surprised, "So many?"
"Your Majesty, the statistics in front of you were completed three days ago. In the past three days, there are probably many more who are being registered."
Fei Zhong, everyone in Youhun is numb. Looking at the history books, how has this kind of thing ever happened?
It’s incredible that even they, who usually live without money, each donated tens of thousands of guan.
Di Xin said with a relaxed expression, "Xiqi's military strength is not as good as our Dachang. With their strength, they are absolutely unable to threaten our Dachang. They stopped accepting donations and ordered all the young men who participated in the conscription to go home. This battle , let the princes from all over the world see the current background of my great merchant!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fei Zhong and You Hun hurriedly retreated to carry out the king's order.
Di Xin looked into the distance with his profound eyes. The teacher had said that what Dashang had to face was not just Xiqi, but the behemoth behind Xiqi.
No, it shouldn’t be said to be Dashang, but the entire human race!
The human race still has a long way to go. Fortunately, there is a teacher behind him to help him.
At this time, in the Sishui Pass, the commander-in-chief Han Rong spit in the direction of Xiqi.
"Ji Chang, this old guy, is so tired of life that he dares to rebel. I want to see how he can get through my Sishui Pass!"
