[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]
Yancheng.
When Chen Hu led the cavalry to conquer Beidi.
Zhao Xu, accompanied by Chang Wei, arrived at the prison.
It's dark and cramped here, with sewage flowing across it and a sour smell.
The two kept walking in, stopped at the end of the road, and looked at the two people imprisoned in the prison.
At this moment, the two men in the prison, disheveled and disheveled, were sleeping in the grass.
Seeing this, Zhao Xu grasped the iron lock on the prison door and knocked hard several times.
At this time, the two of them turned their heads mechanically. .
Seeing Zhao Xu, the two of them got up from the haystack at the same time and rushed towards Zhao Xu.
When they tried to catch him through the gap in the prison fence, Zhao Xu immediately took a few steps back.
"King Yan, you will die badly. My son Ulanba and my brother Ashur will definitely come to save me. When the time comes, I will let the blood of your entire Dasong people appease my anger." 2 shouted one of the men, who was none other than Muller Hongzhen.
The other person kept speaking Japanese, so he was naturally the Watanabe case who was detained in Yancheng.
"Papa..." As the two of them bared their teeth and claws, Chang Wei took out his whip and swung it hard at their arms several times.
The two felt pain and immediately retracted their arms.
Zhao Xu laughed softly, "I forgot to tell you, now I am no longer the King of Yan, but the Emperor of Dasong."
"What!" Mulehong suddenly paused, "Is that good-for-nothing Zhao Heng dead?"
"No, the late emperor just wanted to enjoy his old age, and he disappointed you." Zhao Xu sneered again and again.
Although Dasong has many enemies now, he still can't forget how Beidi pressed on him step by step when he was still weak, and the blood debt Beidi caused to Dasong's northern border.
To this day, Beidi is still like a maggot in the tarsal bones, praising its demise and never dying.
Not only did he collude with the Rus' Kingdom and surrender to it, but he even ceded the entire Tianshan region in order to win over the Tusman Empire and make Dasong its enemy.
Doing this is simply a disgrace to the people of the East.
Naturally, he could no longer tolerate this, and vowed to destroy it soon.
"Sure enough, you are a waste. If I were him, I would kill you. How could I let you seize the throne? Only an incompetent emperor would abdicate the throne." Muller Hongzhen mocked.
Zhao Xu's smile became colder after hearing this, "It's just a pity that you're probably not as good as him in the end, and can only die of regret in this dirty and cold prison."
Immediately, he turned around and walked out, saying as he walked, "I came here this time just to tell you one thing personally. I have ordered 60,000 cavalry to sweep across the grassland, and your Beidi will be destroyed soon!"
Mule Hongzhen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stayed there for a long time before he recovered. However, Zhao Xu's figure had disappeared into the prison, and he could only slap the fence and scream helplessly.
"Hahaha, Mulehon is really angry this time."
Zhao Xu and Chang Wei have arrived at the door of Tianlao.
Listening to Mule Hongzhen's faint cry, Chang Wei laughed.
"Compared with the blood debt he owes, this anger is nothing to him. When Chen Hu completely destroys Beidi, Mule Hong must be allowed to squat in the prison car and go to the grassland for a walk." Zhao Xu snorted.
"This is a good idea, otherwise he will always hold on to hope that Beidi can come over and make him lose hope. This is the biggest punishment for him." Chang Wei clenched his fist.
As they spoke, the two got on their horses and left the prison, reaching the street outside.
At this time, Chang Wei said again, "Your Majesty, the last general has been a soldier for half his life. He is a man who can't rest. During this period, he suddenly got off his horse and became half a civil servant. I feel really uncomfortable. Should I let the last general lead the troops in the war?"
"Nonsense, do I need you as a general to charge into battle? Your most important task now is to coordinate the entire army, formulate military strategies, ensure logistics supplies, and at the same time maintain the discipline and morale of the army. This is more important than winning a battle." Zhao Xu glared at him.
But seeing Chang Wei looking uncomfortable, he said: "Besides, I don't ask you to stay in Yancheng every day. You can still go to inspect the battle conditions of the armies, but you must report back to me before you go."
After a pause, he added, "As for the battle, it will come in handy for you, so you don't have to be impatient. There will be an opportunity soon."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Xu said this, and Chang Wei suddenly smiled.
Zhao Xu nodded, ignored him, and turned his gaze to the side of the street.
Seven or eight whole busy workers attracted his attention.
These workers are digging a pit. Next to the pit is a concrete cylinder about ten meters long.
There are also some gourd-shaped magnetic tiles and thumb-thick wires.
There is no doubt that it was workers under the Electricity Department who were laying the wires.
At present, such telephone poles can be seen everywhere in Yancheng.
Originally, in order to reduce costs, the Electricity Department wanted to use wood, but he vetoed it.
He knew very well that wood would weather in a few years, but this kind of reinforced concrete could last for decades.
With a forward-looking vision, he is considering the long term for many of Dasong's current plans, rather than taking detours again.
The current cost may be higher, but it is much better than the higher cost of rebuilding later.
Furthermore, the war going south allowed them to accept the property of many Westerners.
It can be said that this war is a profitable war.
The collected wealth can be invested in Dasong’s ongoing infrastructure construction.
"Soon this Yancheng will be lit up." Zhao Xu was somewhat yearning.
In addition to the electric poles, street lamps were also laid at the same time.
The frames of these street lamps are made of iron, with a beam extending from the top, and a large glass lampshade hanging on the beam, with incandescent lamps inside.
After the thermal power station is delivered, these street lamps can be lit up one by one.
Of course, these lighting decorations are only secondary things.
The most important thing is that Yancheng can get sufficient electricity supply.
The workshop area centered on Yancheng can completely move from the steam industry level to the electricity level.
For this reason, the workshop area is also preparing.
While laying the wires, each workshop is renovating itself for the upcoming electricity.
In order to prepare for immediate production after connecting to the electricity.
He was thinking, and suddenly saw Dong An coming towards him from not far away.
When he came in front of him, Dong An said: "Your Majesty, the kings of various countries are preparing to return today, and are waiting for Your Majesty outside the Wuji Palace to bid farewell to Your Majesty."
Zhao Xu heard this and nodded.
After the abdication ceremony, the kings of the countries did not leave immediately.
Instead, they lived in Yancheng for a while with their envoys.
The purpose was simple, which was to learn more about Dasong.
After all, coming to Yancheng from their country was like coming to a whole new world, which was too shocking for them.
They naturally wanted to spend more time to understand these changes, and at the same time hoped to get a little bit of the afterglow when Dasong bloomed with great brilliance.
