Chapter 1444 Condescending
Dongyi Kingdom! Cheng Yuanzhi gritted his teeth and wanted to destroy the Dongyi Kingdom, but when he thought that he would not look like a ghost after boarding the boat, he felt that the soldiers of the Bai family army might not be much better than him after boarding the boat, and he was afraid that they hadn't reached Dongyi yet by boat. Yiguo, they fell at sea first.
By this time, Cheng Yuanzhi already understood that it was not easy for the sailors.
After Cheng Yuanzhi was depressed for a long time, he heard that the bastards of Dongyi Kingdom had brought the body of King Han Cheng back to Dongyi Kingdom, and even uttered wild words that the emperor of Zhou Dynasty could only bring King Han Cheng back to him. Cheng Yuanzhi was so angry that he wanted to copy the guy to fight with Dongyi, but Cai Ziyuan held him down.
The atmosphere of the naval officers and soldiers was also low, and many soldiers clamored that even if they died, they would snatch the body of Han Chengwang back. They wanted to send troops, but they were stopped by Cai Ziyuan, saying that they had sent someone to report the battle along the coast. Going to the capital city, if the Dongyi Kingdom has not attacked for the time being, they have to stand still first.
Otherwise, Dongyi Kingdom was on guard at this time, and they deliberately used Hancheng King's corpse to provoke them, just to force their navy to lead troops to snatch Hancheng King, and if they went, it would be a trick!
If you really want to snatch King Hancheng back, you need to stand still first. Firstly... wait for His Majesty's order, and secondly, you can also paralyze Dongyi Kingdom, making Dongyi Kingdom think that their Great Zhou Navy is intimidated, and even their own coach They didn't dare to snatch back the corpses, and when they relaxed their vigilance, it was time for them to send troops.
Besides, Liu Rushi, the important minister of the Great Zhou, is still in the Dongyi Kingdom, whether it is His Majesty, or the soldiers of the Great Zhou, they will never let the courtiers who are running around for the Great Zhou stay in other countries! King Han Cheng, who died for his country, will not be allowed to stay in another country!
The sailors knew that Cai Ziyuan was the advisor of the Bai family army, and they also felt that what Cai Ziyuan said was very reasonable, so they settled down.
The people along the coast and the navy officers and soldiers were all sad and frightened, especially the people who were escorted back.
Some of the people were quite naive. It was nearly a month after King Hancheng died for the country that Dongyi Kingdom said... Only the emperor of Zhou could bring back the body of King Hancheng. In order to protect their body of King Hancheng, they want to come back.
Someone in the tavern said: "After all, the Emperor of the Great Zhou was considered a good emperor. At the beginning, the common people did not understand the new policies implemented by the Great Zhou, but they later discovered the benefits of the New Deal of the Great Zhou! So let's write a petition and say Maybe the emperor will take public opinion into consideration and ask Dongyi Kingdom for the body of King Hancheng!"
But these words were severely hit by the local scholars. After drinking in the tavern, those scholars became more courageous and said: "How can the emperor of a country, for the corpse of a prince with a foreign surname who has been demoted to the Great Zhou, Condescend to come to this coastal area in person! Even the corpses of the emperor's own brothers... I'm afraid there is only one or two points that may allow the emperor to lead troops to Dongyi Kingdom to ask for the corpses!"
Some people also said: "If the emperor doesn't come to the coast, let's fight! The big deal is to take back the body of King Hancheng! The little Dongyi country was just us... It was just a subsidiary country of Daliang, and the emperor of Zhou didn't come. , you can always order the navy to send troops to attack Dongyi Kingdom, and take back the body of our King Hancheng!"
"That's right! Little Dongyi Kingdom! Hit it! Don't be afraid that he won't hand over the body of King Hancheng! Before the Great Liang was not as powerful as the Great Zhou is now, didn't it make Dongyi scream!"
The scholars laughed even louder: "Now, the Emperor of the Great Zhou is betting with the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom. What is the gambling... If you lose, you have to bow your head to the other party! This is the time when the Great Zhou is fighting! Isn't this looking for a loss? ? The emperor who is so high above... It is even more impossible for a prince with a foreign surname to abandon this great country and willingly bow his head to the little emperor of Yan Kingdom!"
"Besides, you have to know that the Great Zhou was originally located inland, but there were no sailors. What does this mean? It means that the current sailors are all left by Daliang back then. I heard that the Great Zhou court was appropriating the sailors. When the military was funded, it made things difficult. Later, when King Nafu was in Hancheng, he dismissed a lot of sailors and soldiers, but the sailors who had not been recruited for a long time were in order to weaken the navy that was loyal to Daliang before. Re-establish a new naval force that is loyal to the Great Zhou!" The middle-aged man sitting at the same table with the scholar sighed, "According to theory, this is a conventional method after one country takes over another country's army. It is all for the stability of our own regime, and it is only natural that the food and salaries allocated by the imperial court will not be used by the navy as a fund for rebellion!"
"It's a pity, before the Great Zhou had time to re-establish the naval power of the Great Zhou, the Dongyi Kingdom began to provoke frequently!" After taking a sip of wine, the middle-aged man said, "So think about it... the current Is the Navy as powerful as the Daliang Navy in the past? Will the Dongyi Kingdom still be afraid?"
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work!" The butcher who came to drink in the restaurant was about to cry, "In order to prevent us people from suffering from the war, the king of Hancheng demoted King Gaoyi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how much infamy did he bear? Could it be that the king of Hancheng died to protect us people now! After death, he will end up unable to return to his homeland? If the emperor of the Great Zhou really cares about the king of Hancheng, I will... I will hire a boat Go to Dongyi Kingdom and take King Hancheng back!"
Everyone was silent because... the common people also understood that what the scholar said was correct, how could the emperor of a country... fight a war at the gate of a gambling country? A war would make Da Zhou lose the bet, lose After the loss, there would be no Great Zhou. Not to mention, the Emperor of Great Zhou would be recorded in the annals of history, and he would become an emperor who lost the whole country by betting.
The emperor of a country would not risk himself to come to this coastal place where wars are going to happen at any time just to get back the corpse of a king with a different surname.
The scholar looked at the people who were silent, and slowly said while holding his wine glass, "It's been almost a month since King Hancheng died in battle, count the days... the battle report was sent back to Dadu City, and the order was sent back without a break. In another six or seven days, we will know...whether the emperor will fight that little Dongyi for the dead body of King Hancheng!"
Suddenly, just after returning to the tavern with a heavy atmosphere, a group of officials with belts and knives broke in. Everyone in the tavern immediately fell silent, and turned to look at the official who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tavern.
The tavern keeper who was making the calculation was also taken aback, quickly took out a few banknotes from the box, picked up his straight legs and trotted out from behind the counter, bowed and smiled to meet him: "Oh, the officials have worked hard !"
