Chapter 386 The Miss Who Loves Money Like Life 11
Nowadays, among the things that leave the country of Outer Nanyang, besides many that are used by the rich and powerful, there are also many things that are needed in daily life.
Now that the news has come that the emperor is going to attack the Kingdom of Nanyang, I am afraid it will be difficult to use these things in the future.
The news that the current monarch of Nanyang State was the owner of the Jin family store and no longer supplied goods quickly spread.
As soon as the news spread, the original stock was sold out.
When the emperor heard the news, he was shocked to find that the goods in the Jin family's shop were so widely distributed.
Not to mention the common people, even the imperial palace used a lot of it.
The issue regarding Nanyang must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it may cause panic.
The emperor suppressed his uneasiness, thinking that the 50,000 soldiers and horses had already set out and would surely capture the rebels. By then, all the prescriptions would be in the hands of the court and everything would be easily solved.
After thinking it through, the emperor felt relieved and walked towards the palace of his favorite concubine with a swagger.
That was his new concubine, sixteen years old, with a beautiful face. Her smile was enough to make people lose their souls. Now was the time to pay attention to her and he felt itchy.
I didn't have the energy to review the memorials and just wanted to relax for a while.
The current emperor has mediocre qualifications, but if he can work diligently and conscientiously to maintain the country, the empire built by his ancestors can be restored to nothing.
It’s just that corruption is indeed serious in the imperial court today, and corrupt officials are rife, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many cases of abuse of power to oppress others.
It’s just that they are used to being in high positions, used to holding power in their hands, and treating the people as if they were ants.
The general who is leading the troops to Nanyang State now is General Weiyong, who is the brother of the current queen.
The Queen also said a lot of good things in front of the Emperor, and with the help of General Weiyong's self-recommendation, this job fell on him.
The Queen naturally wanted Qian Jinjin to be trapped in a dilemma, so she wanted to capture him alive and torture him.
General Weiyong did not take such a traitor seriously at all and thought he was totally insignificant.
When the 50,000-strong army approached the city, he was very surprised to see the city wall of Nanyang State. It turned out that he had thought it was too simple at the beginning.
However, with so many soldiers and horses, it is not difficult to capture a small city.
He asked his deputy general to step forward and challenge the enemy. It would be best if they could win without fighting.
Even if it couldn't, it would still make the soldiers and civilians in Nanyang City panic, after all, they were guilty of the serious crime of rebellion.
"I am the deputy general under General Weiyong, and I have come here in the name of Your Majesty to encircle and suppress the rebels. I hope you will redeem yourself from your crimes and open the city gates. Those who surrender will not be killed."
The deputy general kept shouting below, and the soldiers behind him also repeated loudly, "Those who surrender will not be killed."
But after they shouted for a long time, there was no response from the city wall. It was just that they were tired of shouting and their mouths were dry.
General Weiyong looked at the towering city walls and knew that it was impossible to climb up them. Now the only way left was to break down the city gate.
He gave the order, "Storm the city gate."
Two rows of soldiers carried wooden stakes and rushed towards the city gate.
But after all their ramming, not only did the city gate show no signs of being broken open, but there wasn't even a trace left, which discouraged everyone.
The so-called one blast, then decay, and exhaustion.
General Weiyong's soldiers suffered losses at the very beginning and their morale was already low.
At this moment, a deafening sound of military drums came from the city wall, boom boom boom falling into everyone's ears.
Then, black tubes appeared at the entrance of the city wall, pointing right at them.
A loud voice came from the city wall, "Aim and fire."
Then, there were banging sounds, and round black balls flew towards them.
However, the direction did not fall on the soldiers, but only a few meters in front of them. As the black ball fell, rumbling sounds like thunder continued to sound, raising dust and smoke in front of them.
The horse was frightened and kept struggling. The soldier suppressed his fear and grabbed the reins.
Then, when the smoke cleared, they discovered that a number of astonishing earth pits had been blown out in front of them. What kind of power was this?
If it falls on them, they might lose their lives. What kind of weapon is this?
General Weiyong had never encountered such a scene before. He felt increasingly uneasy. Looking at the weapons on the city wall and the big hole blown out below, he understood that this was a warning from the other party. If they moved forward, those black balls would fall on them.
Looking at the power, I don’t know how many people will die.
Seeing that the people below the city wall stopped moving, the voice just now sounded again, "Listen below the city, this was just a warning. If you go any further, the cannon will fall where you are. You have seen the power of the cannon, and you have no chance of winning. If you want to make peace, we in Nanyang can give you a chance."
General Weiyong never imagined that the other side actually wanted to shake his military morale.
It turns out that those black things are called cannons. No wonder the Nanyang Kingdom dared to rebel. They were truly fearless.
However, he came here on orders this time. If he fails to capture Nanyang City, he will definitely be punished when he returns. Now he regrets accepting this mission.
But it was no use regretting it now. Hearing the other party's constant provocations, General Weiyong could no longer pretend he didn't hear anything.
With one order, "Continue to attack the city gate."
"Archers, listen up. Aim at the city walls and attack."
The archers aimed at the city wall, but the wall was too high and their archers could not reach it at all, so it was in vain.
Seeing that they had no intention of retreating and seeking peace, and wanted to continue the attack, the second round of artillery fire was launched.
For a moment, there was endless smoke and the sound of fighting on the battlefield. Many soldiers were injured, but this was just a one-sided war and the only ones injured were General Weiyong's soldiers.
Seeing more and more soldiers falling, General Weiyong had no choice but to order a temporary retreat.
That night, he urgently summoned his soldiers to discuss countermeasures. After all, that kind of magical weapon could not be captured by them through a strong attack.
Instead, someone suggested that since the people of Nanyang also had relatives in other places, they could just capture them and persuade them to surrender. It was unbelievable that the people of Nanyang would really dare to continue firing.
General Weiyong nodded. This was a good idea. If they dared to fire, they would only lose the support of the people of Nanyang.
However, while they were discussing, a group of men had quietly broken into their military camp.
According to the strategy given to them by Fu Qi, they inquired about military intelligence, burned food and grass, and captured the main general.
The elite team sent by Fu Qi are all good fighters.
After finding out the military intelligence, they burned the food and grass in the middle of the night to cause chaos, and then took advantage of the chaos to capture their main general, General Weiyong, and brought him back alive.
