Profound Pure Guard

Chapter 574: Clockwork

The importance of the right to speak is now fully demonstrated in the temple. When the military officer spoke, the civilian officials were still tit-for-tat, but they obviously felt that they were not as angry as they used to be. When the emperor spoke, the civilian officials were interrupted by cold eyes when they tried to defend themselves several times, and finally they could only kneel on the ground with no room for resistance.

If it is the emperor who is in a weak position, then the court will be very different today, but there is no such if.

Now that Emperor Chrysostom has said the strategy, it means that it cannot be changed. In front of the civil and military officials, half a soldier amulet was asked to open the ban, and it was sorted out together with a formal document and sent to the southern soldier. Shidaoxing is in charge of yamen. This also means that the war against the barbarians in the south has officially begun.

This kind of news is impossible to suppress, and there is no need to suppress it. When the emergency order left the palace, it spread quickly through various channels throughout the imperial city, and then spread quickly to various places along the official road or teleportation circle, the speed can be described as rapid.

The first most common reaction is panic. Whether it is the common people or the self-proclaimed "upper", anyone who has a bit of brain knows that the war will definitely affect the country at the beginning of the war.

The common people worry that the price of rice, oil, and salt will rise, that their men will be recruited, that their livelihoods will be dragged down by the war or even cut off. They are worried and have no choice but to go to the rice shop to buy more food to store, but to the rice shop. Only to find that there was a long queue at the door.

Pubs, teahouses, streets and lanes soon regarded "playing Nanban" as the only hot topic. There are worrying ones, and more are still discussing whether they can completely wipe out those Nanbans this time, so it is really irritating and depressing to fight once every few decades.

Those who claim to be “upper” are also worried that the money they have in the bank will be taken away by the state, that their businesses will be impacted by the war, and they are also considering whether they can let their children stay here. In the war, get some cheap and get some meritorious deeds.

Some elegant tea houses, or summer resorts outside the city, gather in twos and threes with the luxuriously dressed people. These big masters talk together and talk about the same topics in the market. The only difference is that they talk more deeply and when they get money. Some more.

But no matter the ordinary people, these self-proclaimed "upper" elders, there are good and bad things in the conversation, but there is absolutely no one who said "what if the country loses?"

Will the country lose? Can't beat Nanban? how can that be! Neither illiterate fool would think so.

The people's ideas best represent the will and confidence of an empire. The common people haven't even thought about losing, and the people in the army are even more blushing and want to rush to the front line to personally kill the enemy. This kind of war can only be encountered once in decades, and if you miss it, there may be no chance.

On the same day, the garrisons in various parts of the country announced that they were ready for war. The four fronts also announced that they were in a state of war. Even the local yamen announced that they would impose a curfew from that day onwards. Those who went to the streets without authorization were taken back to the yamen for strict investigation.

The motorcades on the official roads everywhere are immediately dense, and all kinds of necessary materials are being urgently dispatched, public or private.

After the emperor's order came out from the emperor's order in the Manmin Palace, this huge "machine" of the Jingjiu dynasty quickly increased its pace of operation, and the energy it generated would vigorously tilt toward the south.

These can be felt on the bright surface, but in the dark, the reaction and actions of the old dynasty are far more than these.

It took several days for the emperor's talisman to be delivered to Zuo Yuliang's hands, but the news was quicker. Moreover, this time the Ministry of War, following the guidance of Xuan Qingwei commander Pang Ban, learned that Xuan Qingwei established three sets of connection channels for the continuous transmission of thousands of miles along the road. The next time the message comes and goes, it will save the time between carriages and horses.

For this reason, the emperor gave Xuan Qingwei a credit to his satisfaction. As soon as this method came out, the efficiency of intelligence transmission increased exponentially. But why has no one thought of such a simple method before? Finally, he learned that it was created by the recently outstanding deputy Qianhu Shen Hao in Xuanqingweili, and the emperor felt a little astonished. It was him again? At the same time, the south side is also a little curious about this person.

The emperor's order came into Zuo Yuliang's hand, and half of the soldier talisman, so Zuo Yuliang had full power. On that day, another 15,000 soldiers went south to Zhuohuoguan, and divided their troops to Jianchuan, Baitou Gorge, and Huzhuyuan for defense. This is the second batch of 15,000 people who have been out for reinforcements since the barbarian raid on the tenth day of August. The difference between this time and the previous one is that of the three groups of 5,000 soldiers, 2,000 are auxiliary soldiers. The role of these auxiliary troops is not to fight but to build various necessary facilities along the road, including but not limited to supply points and fortifications.

Prior to this, the heavy battalion had increased the speed and intensity of the arrangement along the road from the Zhuo Huoguan to the front line. With the addition of auxiliary soldiers now, it should be that Zuo Yuliang felt that the progress was not enough and wanted to improve this long supply line faster.

The news also reached Shen Hao's hands in the fastest time. There are two copies, one is a copy of the emperor's order to Zuo Yuliang, and the other is a private letter of warning written to him by Jiang Cheng.

This time the emperor’s attitude to war also caused Shen Hao, who was in the southern frontier army, to be temporarily trapped here. At least he would not be able to leave here until the battle was stabilized. At the same time, it happened to be able to help Xuan Qingwei. Go up and down the intelligence channels to the south, so as not to be passive after knowing everything.

Putting down the two copper bars in his hand and putting them away, Shen Hao walked to the window with a teacup, and when he watched the busy scene outside the window, he gradually felt that the clouds of war were getting lower and lower, and the tension was also coming from Zhuo Huoguan. Spread over.

It can be seen that ~www.wuxiahere.com~ those soldiers who have never been on the battlefield are quite worried, and the veterans who have seen blood are much better. The backbone of the military masters who are old, have a cultivation base, and have experienced the last World War, appear to be calm and even obviously urgent.

Shen Hao has never been on the battlefield, but he is not one of those recruits. He is also nervous but very limited. The brothers of Xuan Qingwei are similar to him. Because compared with these soldiers, it is Xuan Qingwei's daily life to experience life and death, and to put it bluntly on the battlefield, it is just a life-and-death killing. The reason I felt some tension was that the battle was too big and the atmosphere affected it.

Now as the chief officer of the supervisory envoy, Shen Hao is sure that he is likely to follow him to the south, and he doesn't know what the world's battlefield looks like.

Halfway through a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door, and the one who opened the door was Zhang Ye, deputy Qianhu appointed by Shen Hao to take charge of daily affairs.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

"Yeah. How are you preparing for the manpower you asked you to prepare?"

"In reply to my lord's words, half of it has been implemented, and the remaining half will be completed within two days today and tomorrow.
