"Where is Pang Qingyun's army assembled?" Jiang Tian glanced at Yue'er.
"Your Excellency, more than a dozen rebel armies have gathered in the Jingxiang region. As for whether they have set off yet, I have no idea."
Jiang Tian was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
These dozen or so rebel groups gathered together, clearly intending to do something big.
At this point, they ordered the palace eunuchs and maids to kidnap their two children.
This means that these rebels will not give up easily and may not stay obediently in Jingxiang.
"Take Yue'er out and execute her by slow slicing! All those involved in this should be exterminated along with their entire families, numbering ten generations."
Li Cunxiao was stunned upon hearing this: "My lord, I've heard of the punishment of nine generations of relatives, but what does the punishment of ten generations mean?"
“Kill all their relatives, friends, students, teachers, relatives’ friends, their students, teachers, and neighbors.”
“Yes…” Li Cunxiao quickly replied.
"Summon Han Xin, Bai Qi, Lü Bu, Dian Wei, Li Yuanba, Zhang Dingbian... Summon all of them to the Imperial Study. I have something to say to them."
"Yes..." As soon as Li Cunxiao left, a eunuch walked in.
"Your Excellency, this is a letter from Zheng He." The eunuch respectfully presented the letter with both hands.
Jiang Tian opened it and was overjoyed.
Zheng He had only been in Taizhou for a short time.
This guy had already started building the treasure ship.
The keels of the first batch of 30 Zheng He treasure ships have been laid, and an additional 8 million taels of silver are needed.
"Zheng He asked me for eight million taels of silver," Jiang Tian stood up excitedly, rubbing his hands together. "I gave him eighteen million taels of silver and replied to Zheng He's letter. Within a month, the 18 million taels of silver will arrive."
"promise……"
Zheng He built his treasure ships faster than Jiang Tian had anticipated.
If things continue like this, it's estimated that Zheng He's fleet will be able to set sail in a year or two.
Jiang Tian released the two Russian generals because he hoped to do business with Europeans.
At that time, all the good things from Great Xia will be able to be transported there continuously.
The gold and silver from Europe will be continuously transported over.
This is a great thing that kills two birds with one stone.
A short while later, Xiang Yu and his men entered.
"Please sit down, everyone." Jiang Tian glanced at the crowd.
“Take a look at the letters of these traitors first.”
Jiang Tian ordered the eunuchs to display all of Pang Tingyun's letters in front of everyone.
Everyone held the letter and read it carefully.
Bai Qi: "My lord, these rebels are going too far. If we don't wipe them out, we will not only be letting down my lord, but also the common people."
Xiang Yu: "My lord, to be honest, ever since I heard that the two young lords have been captured by the rebels, my Overlord Spear has been itching to be used."
Li Yuanba: "My lord, I have a request. From now on, please allow me to stay by your side. I will never leave you for a moment. Even if you are asleep, I will stay by your side."
Li Yuanba was utterly loyal, and his loyalty is evident.
"I have other plans for protecting the young master."
"What we need to do now is kill this group of rebels." Jiang Tian tapped his fingers on the table, making the sound of horses' hooves. "This group of rebels has more than a million members. I won't be at peace until they are dead."
These beasts must die.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Bai Qi, it's time for your Black Ice Platform to come in handy," Jiang Tian said, looking at Bai Qi.
"Reporting to my lord, the Black Ice Guard's spies have sent some intelligence. This group of rebels has already set off, and their every move is under my control."
Jiang Tian nodded and led everyone to the battle map.
"Where have those bastards gone?"
"It's probably around here," Bai Qi said, pointing to Hulao Pass.
"These bastards are pretty fast? Bai Qi, are you sure about your intelligence?"
Jiang Tian found it somewhat unbelievable.
"My lord, my intelligence is absolutely true." Bai Qi was very confident in the intelligence gathering capabilities of his Black Ice Guard subordinates.
“It’s at least 600 li from Jingxiang to Hulao Pass,” Jiang Tian glanced outside.
The sky outside was once again covered with thick clouds.
The sky was overcast, and snow began to fall again.
"Doesn't it snow in Jingxiang?"
"How did those bastards get to the vicinity of Hulao Pass in such a short time?"
After hearing this, everyone became curious.
"My lord, you are unaware of this."
"When our lord was in the 16 kingdoms of the northern grasslands, he had many infantrymen wear skis."
"Those rebels also manufactured large quantities of skis."
"Starting from the rebels' stronghold, they headed straight for our Tai'an City. The entire route was downhill."
They moved swiftly across the snow.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian slammed his hand on the map.
"These bastards are truly hateful. I never imagined that these traitors would cause us such great losses."
Thinking about this, Jiang Tian felt that even if he executed these beasts and their entire families, even if he exterminated ten generations of their clan, it wouldn't be enough to quell his hatred.
"These bastards think they can go on a killing spree just because they have skis. No way."
Li Yuanba glanced at Jiang Tian: "My lord, I'm not very bright. There's something I want to say, but I don't know if I should."
"Yuanba, just say what you have to say."
“My lord, aren’t these rebels trying to kidnap the young master?” Li Yuanba stepped forward and said, “I wonder if news of our attempt to capture these guys has leaked out yet.”
"You mean you plan to infiltrate the enemy camp?" Jiang Tian asked.
Li Yuanba nodded.
"Hasn't the enemy's carrier pigeon been captured by our lord? It's being used to send messages to those rebels."
"Just say that we encountered a search party on the way, but we managed to escape and have brought the two young ladies out of the capital."
"With me disguised as a eunuch, and given my small stature, even if I were only half a eunuch, no one would suspect anything."
Jiang Tian patted Li Yuanba on the shoulder: "Not bad, not bad, you go with Xiang Yu."
Xiang Yu nodded.
Li Yuanba glanced at Xiang Yu and said with a smile, "Xiang Yu, you will pretend to be my porter and follow me."
Xiang Yu moved his lips, as if about to say something, when Jiang Tian said, "I think it's perfectly fine. It's settled then. You two, set off immediately."
Li Yuanba: "My lord, may we bring our Tsar Cannon?"
"We can't bring the Tsar Cannon, it's too conspicuous. We can bring the Napoleon Cannon instead."
The Tsar Cannon was quite powerful, but it was too heavy.
The weight of one Tsar Cannon is equivalent to the weight of hundreds of Napoleon Cannons.
Each of these two men carrying two modified Napoleon cannons would suffice.
Li Yuanba nodded, but it was clear that the guy was very disappointed.
