Chapter 414: Facing the Challenge, Shen Xiangwan's Courage
"Wanwan, the Binzhou army will be setting off soon. When you contact Chengyi, ask him how we should respond."
This is also the reason why he told her. This matter is too big and Wei Chengyi must make the decision.
"No need to ask him. Contact Jun Ling and announce to the public that the dog emperor killed Grandpa and his family. Say we have solid evidence and publicize everything he did to the Wei family. Next, announce that our Wei family will avenge the unjust death of Grandpa Wang and his three generations of descendants and overthrow the rule of the Li royal family. Finally, spread the news that the people of Chenzhou have not only not suffered any disasters in the past two years, but have been living a better and better life and have no worries about food and clothing. This will build momentum for our Wei family's future rule."
Since the dog emperor couldn't wait to set up the stage, she would accompany him to the end. After two whole years, they had already grown strong and there was no need to be so wary. As for the upcoming 300,000 troops led by Wanqi Shan, their 400,000 troops were not to be trifled with either. Moreover, they had the advantage in equipment. It was still unknown who would suppress whom!
"Sure?"
Unexpectedly, she was so courageous that Yan Lang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows to confirm again. In fact, he knew better than anyone else that they only had one choice, which was to face the challenge head-on!
"I never joke about this kind of thing. Do it as soon as possible. Also, help me find General Peng and the others."
Even if the dog emperor didn't make such a fuss, they would have rebelled after the Western Hu people were dealt with. It's just a little earlier now. It doesn't matter much. They already have enough foundation.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
No one knew better than them how important Shen Xiangwan was in Wei Chengyi's heart. Her meaning was equivalent to Wei Chengyi's meaning. Yan Lang no longer hesitated, stood up and left the conference room.
Sitting in the main seat, Shen Xiangwan leaned back in his chair and rubbed the cartilage of his nose bridge after a long time.
"Ma'am, what do you want to talk to us about?"
Not long after, General Peng and General Chen walked in from outside. They clasped their fists and bowed, showing absolute respect. Shen Xiangwan had already proved time and again with practical actions that she was not an ordinary woman. Her ability was not inferior to any man, including their prince!
"Well, please take a seat, Generals."
After sitting up straight, Shen Xiangwan asked them to sit down and briefly recounted what had happened before: "To avoid chaos in the army when the news spreads, we must take the initiative. Generals, please tell the soldiers everything about how the dog emperor harmed the Wei family. By the way, tell them that we had no intention of rebelling, but when we were fighting bravely in the front and stopping the Western Hu people's cavalry from trampling on the land and the people, the dog emperor still held on to us, forcing us to rebel. Let the soldiers choose for themselves, whether they are willing to join us in overthrowing the dog emperor, fighting from Chenzhou to the imperial city, and fighting for the wealth of founding heroes, or leave the barracks. Anyone who chooses to leave will be given an extra three months' salary as our compensation."
In reality, Shen Xiangwan's actions were somewhat unnecessary. Everyone knew that the Wei Family Army only recognized Wei Chengyi, regardless of who the emperor was. She was simply preparing for a rainy day. The more times like this, the more chaos in the army must be avoided. As for the people of Chenzhou, as long as they weren't fools, they would know who truly cared for them. Xie Yanzhi was in charge of this matter; he knew what to do.
"I obey your command!"
The two generals stood up again, their faces more serious than ever. They came from the East Border to the West Border just to follow Wei Chengyi and avenge the unjust deaths of Old Wang, Grandpa Sun and the other two. This day is finally coming!
"I'm not feeling well, so I'll have to trouble you two generals with these matters."
The fact that she was pregnant was basically known to the entire army, and there was no need to hide it anymore.
"Madam, you are too kind. These are what I should do. If there is nothing else, we will go back first."
"Um."
After getting her nod of agreement, the two generals turned around one after another, and Shen Xiangwan also stood up from her chair. She was going to find Mu Yunran for dinner and tell her about this matter so that she would be mentally prepared.
In just a few days, the news of how the dog emperor harmed the loyal and brave Wei family and stubbornly held on to the remaining bloodline of the Wei family, forcing them to rebel to protect themselves, spread throughout the army and the entire Chenzhou. As expected, both in the army and among the people, almost everyone supported the Wei family and supported them in overthrowing the corrupt Li royal family.
At the same time, after obtaining Shen Xiangwan's consent, Xie Yanzhi mobilized the forces of the royal palace scattered across the country and spread the news to the world. It was also spread that under their leadership, Chenzhou had never suffered any disaster in the past two years, and they also discovered high-yield grain varieties, completely solved the people's food and clothing problems, and resettled one million refugees last year.
As these things spread more and more widely, almost the whole country was shocked. The old prince had been guarding the East Border for many years and was a nationally renowned guardian of the East Border. Wei Chengyi was also a famous young general. The Wei family was full of loyal and brave people, but the emperor harmed them so much, which was simply inhumane. The people were angry, and the voices of people cursing the dog emperor and the court were endless, especially the people in the East Border. They were the direct beneficiaries and had been protected by several generations of the Wei family, old, middle-aged and young. They were even more angry.
"And the exiled prisoners?"
Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but feel puzzled. Why would the court exile the criminals to Chenzhou at this time?
"They were exiled before the dog emperor issued his decree. It's said they were all officials from Binzhou and their families. It was Wanqishan who exiled them because they failed to govern Binzhou properly, leading to a peasant uprising and causing great suffering to the people."
Anyone with ears could hear that Yan Lang's words were filled with sarcasm. If it weren't for the corrupt emperor and the court's disregard for the people's lives and the lack of any relief efforts, how could the people have rebelled? How could Binzhou's local officials govern when they had nothing? How could they keep the people in line?
"Oh!"
Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but sneer. What a calculated plan! They pushed everything onto the local officials of Binzhou, blurring out the fact that the imperial court didn't provide disaster relief, and completely covering up the whole matter. Did they really think that everyone in the world was a fool? But...
"Among those exiled prisoners, is there one named Sun Yucheng? He was formerly the magistrate of Tianhe County."
Tianhe County is located at the outermost edge of Binzhou. When the earthquake occurred, most officials in Binzhou closed the city gates and ignored the lives of the people. Only in Tianhe County, the county government quickly organized manpower to rescue the people shortly after the disaster occurred, and distributed porridge at the city gate every day. At that time, she also secretly sent him a lot of food.
