Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 61: Strange

"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper! His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire has recovered from his dragon body, and he is now in court to discuss politics!"

"In the latest "Daily Express", His Majesty the Emperor ordered to secure the Five Lakes, and ordered the Seventh Army of the Empire to march in to reinforce the Five Lakes immediately!"

"Come, come, the latest report from the "Beijing Times", the Minister of Military Affairs, Duke Jilin, ordered the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps of the Empire to cooperate with the Imperial Navy Fleet to quickly launch a counterattack against the Machi Khan invaders and the Taiping Rebel Party. The invaders drive out the empire!"

The loud cries of newsboys immediately set off a wave of buying newspapers in the entire imperial capital. Whether they were merchants, gentry or ordinary people, everyone was full of fantasies about the sudden good news. Many of the guests also generously donated a few copper coins to buy a newspaper and read it happily.

Ever since His Majesty the Emperor was seriously ill and unable to go to court, the situation in the empire has gone from bad to worse. Rumors have spread in the imperial capital, making people panic, and the subjects living in the imperial capital are trembling every day. Come into town. However, in the past one or two months, the Taiping Rebel Party and the Machi Khans, the internal and external enemies of the empire, joined hands to launch a frenzied attack on the Wuhu area known as the "Imperial Granary". , Wenning, Baling, and Jiujiang and half of Wuhu counties fell respectively.

Affected by this situation, the price of food throughout the empire skyrocketed, and the price of food in the imperial capital skyrocketed all the way. The price of a liter of rice has skyrocketed from the original three to four copper coins to one silver coin and two copper coins per liter, and the price of wheat It also rose from three copper coins to one silver coin per liter. Grain merchants and wealthy families from all over the empire began to stockpile grain, and the price of grain rose even higher. Even the price of grain in the Jiangnan area, known as the land of fish and rice, also historically broke through one silver coin and eight copper coins. It was the third time since then that this price had been broken through, and the previous two food shortages were all caused by huge floods, but this time it was because half of Wuhu County fell!

"Hey, it seems that His Majesty's health has really recovered, and the political discussion lasted for two hours! This is great, the empire is saved!"

"Well, the Duke of Jilin has sent a special envoy from the General Administration of Military Affairs to the Five Lakes to supervise the battle. The Seventh Army has heard that it is gathering in Huzhou and Gusu, and it is estimated that it will soon enter the Five Lakes to fight. Damn the Maqihan bandit, this time It’s time to learn a lesson.”

"I heard that His Majesty is in good spirits, and he also instructed the City Guard Corps and the Northern Military Region to launch a counterattack against the Beiyuan area occupied by the Taiping Rebels. It is said that the newly formed Third and Fourth Legions are also preparing to go to Heshuo. There is really hope."

The imperial news media, which has been dull for more than half a year, finally made an announcement in high spirits. Although there is no sign of any improvement in the situation, the recovery of His Majesty the Emperor is indeed a major event worth celebrating. Some prospective predictions and encouragement are also a necessary means for the morale of the helpless empire. The always strict Imperial Press and Publication Office even expresses, explicitly or implicitly, that it will support the empire's news media to publish more news that will help encourage the empire. It is hoped that the news media can also cooperate with the report on the morale of the people.

While the court ministers were surprised at His Majesty's recovery, they collectively congratulated His Majesty the Emperor, and on the other hand, they all conveyed the message to their closely related masters behind the scenes that His Majesty the Emperor has recovered from his illness and will be back again. If you are in charge of the government, your attitude towards the invasion of the Taiping Rebellion Party and the Maqihans will be tougher, and you will even spare no effort to spare the country. It is an obvious signal to issue large-scale orders to each legion to fight back with all their strength according to the order.

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 unbelievable. The imperial doctor knew about his father's illness, and the imperial doctor had clearly replied that unless a miracle happened, his father's body would only last for a day. You can ignore it, but ordering the Seventh Legion to march into the Five Lakes is undoubtedly cutting your own flesh and blood. Thinking of this, Situ Yuan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. Only then did he get the qualification to form the Tenth Legion, but if he wanted to draw the Seventh Legion to the front line of the Five Lakes, it would be a blow to himself.

Father was too sick to manage politics some time ago, how could he recover completely all of a sudden? Situ Yuan thought hard about this question. He had some doubts, but he didn't dare to think deeply. Although Lao Jiu is in charge of supervising the country, he probably wouldn't dare to do such an outrageous thing. However, his father's sudden recovery does have many doubts. However, judging from the reflections of the ministers who participated in the court meeting and were closely related to him, It seems that there is nothing unusual, but it is a pity that there is still no news from my mother, but my father's order to order the Seventh Army to send troops to Wuhu and the order of the Ministry of War are urgent and cannot tolerate any delay. He had to think about the consequences of being imprisoned if his father really recovered and he disobeyed the holy will. Thinking of this, Situ Yuan couldn't help shivering again.

Could it be that the father is returning to the light? Suspicious Situ Yuan suddenly had such a thought in his mind, so would he dare to resist or not obey? Shaking his head subconsciously, this is too risky, once the father is furious, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe. Fortunately, I won the right to form the Tenth Legion before my father recovered, and I had to take action immediately. In case my father intervened, as long as I created a fait accompli and was approved by the old nine who supervised the country at that time, I'm afraid there is nothing to say. It seems that the only way to do this is to hurry up and form the Tenth Legion, and also to win over Zhang Tiande. Although he is about to go to the Five Lakes, as long as the Seventh Legion stays put, he can still control him firmly.

Deep down in his heart, Situ Yuan has already accepted the reality he is facing now. Zhang Tiande is not Yousuf. He will never dare to disobey his father's will. Together, don't let this guy be dragged away by the third brother after arriving in Wuhu.

Situ Yuan is not alone in his doubts. His Majesty's sudden recovery has also attracted the attention of many people, especially the multiple orders he issued in succession to fight back against the Taiping Rebellion and Maqi Khan's invasion, and let the Deputy Foreign Minister Jing Zezhong sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Milan to request allies to send troops to respond to the Empire's counterattack. This series of measures made many people sleepless at night.

Wufeng's first reaction when he received the news was that Situ Mingyue was dead, and the imperial capital was already under the control of Situ Lang and his supporters, but then came more detailed information that overturned his prediction, His Majesty the Emperor At the court meeting, the government issues and orders were all under the watchful eyes of the ministers, and the intelligence sent back by Gu Ji confirmed this, which also made Wufeng confused.

Picking up the Xuanyu paperweight in his hand, it seemed that the coolness from his hand could clear up his somewhat confused thinking. The guards are all guessing that their boss must have encountered some emergency again.

What is going on? Could it be that Situ Mingyue suddenly changed his sex? Such a large-scale mobilization to counter the rebellion of the Taiping Rebellion and the aggression of the Machihans would be carried out at the same time, and even the ally Kingdom of Milan was required to join in? Is His Majesty the Emperor really ready to put all his eggs in one basket and fight to the death with the Machihans and the Taiping Rebels? This is not in line with the original style of His Majesty the Emperor.

The Machi Khans seemed shocked by the Tanghe Empire's sudden counterattack. Intelligence showed that the Machi Khan's army, which was planning to advance northward, had begun to retreat, and even abandoned the already occupied Wenning and Baling. In the northern part of the prefecture, perhaps they were also worried that under His Majesty's strict order, the imperial troops from Wuhu and Jiangnan would really have a real **** battle with them~IndoMTL.com~ Until Ling Tianfang came, Wufeng still didn't understand that there would be such a sudden change in the policy of the empire, and these changes might affect the direction of the Northwest Army's march into the Central Plains.

Frowning, Ling Tianfang read all the information carefully from the beginning to the end, and meditated silently. To counterattack, whether it is aimed at the Maqihan people or the Taiping Sect, Northwest has to calm down and observe. If it is mainly aimed at the Maqihan people, Wufeng even intends to put some pressure on the Taiping Sect and try to make the Taiping Sect To maintain the current peaceful situation so that the empire can wholeheartedly resist foreign aggression, Wufeng has already noticed that the Maqihans may become a strong enemy for him to set foot on the Central Plains in the future, and they are more threatening than the Kamans.

"Why did Situ Mingyue suddenly change his nature and become so frizzy? Isn't it too unbelievable to attack the Taiping Sect and the Maqihan people at the same time?" Ling Tianfang also saw the joints in the middle, "Order the Seventh Army to cooperate with the Fifth and Sixth Army to launch a counterattack against the Machi Khans. The three armies have 300,000 people. Except for those who defend the Taiping Army in the north, they can draw up to 250,000 people. To be able to achieve results, I am afraid that there will be a considerable price.”

"Hey, the decree also strictly ordered the northern military region and the city guards to attack Beiyuan. Look at the mansion report that Gu Ji copied back. His Majesty the Emperor has never been stricter with Situ Tai and the northern military region. I have been thinking about it. How should His Majesty, who has preserved his strength, deal with this time?" Wufeng said thoughtfully, holding his chin with his thumb and index finger while smiling.
