The generals were silent.
Fang Zhengyi spoke passionately, but after being translated, the rich emotion was obviously reduced a lot.
In addition, they were generals who led troops into battle, and they often carried out activities such as pre-war mobilization.
I won't get emotional and choose to believe something just because someone says a few simple words.
However, what Fang Zhengyi said was well-reasoned and they could not find any mistakes or omissions.
Everyone still has doubts as to whether the six major dioceses are really controlled by the traitors of Dajing.
But there is not much doubt. After all, among this group of people, the country of Hiero, as the largest force to maintain the holy city, has the strongest national strength.
Among them, Mod has the highest reputation.
Even he nodded and agreed that the divine punishment weapon originated from Dajing, so there shouldn't be any problem.
On the other hand, it doesn’t matter whether Dajing comes to quell the rebellion or not.
What's important is...whether the power of the old church can be wiped out.
The forces outside the six dioceses of the old church have been eliminated, the new Pope obviously does not have much ambition, and Dajing only wants to do business with others.
The profits originally spewed out by the old church have been divided up by the country's upper nobles.
Once the old forces successfully make a comeback, the profits they have gained will have to be vomited out sooner or later.
Whether it is the new church or Dajing...it is at least a hundred times better than the original church!
Everyone is happy to see the old church power being eliminated and a new stable pattern being formed.
This is also the consensus reached between the generals from various countries and the upper echelons when they came here.
Fang Zhengyi observed for a long time and saw that no one had any opinions, so he asked, "If anyone has any questions, please feel free to speak up."
"I have no doubts about the reasons why Dajing declared war, but I still have two questions for Your Majesty." General Mod stood up and said.
"May I ask your Majesty, when will Dajing's army be ready to march? What is the route of advance?"
Hearing his question, the other generals began to whisper.
This question is too blunt! You can't ask so directly just because Dajing people are honest, right?
Even if they invite us to watch the battle, you can't just ask about military secrets, right?
Fang Zhengyi looked at Li Yuanzhao.
Li Yuanzhao nodded, then stood up and said, "That's a good question. I would like to speak frankly with you on this issue."
"Seven days later, my Dajing army will be ready to march towards the six major dioceses. As for the route of advance..."
Li Yuanzhao stood up and walked to the map.
Fang Zhengyi immediately called for someone to fetch pen and ink.
Li Yuanzhao took up his pen and pointed at the map with the end of the pen, saying, "This is the Holy City, and this is Sangjak. It is still unknown whether the rebel king of Dajing will appear on the front line of the battlefield, so Dajing is preparing to send troops to directly attack Sangjak this time."
After that, he took a pen and drew a long straight line on the map, starting from the Holy City, passing through the six dioceses and ending at Sangak.
The gentle discussion in the hall came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone looked at each other and looked at the map with confusion in their eyes.
He drew a straight line... This is the route of advance, is it so rough?
Maud froze in place, hesitating, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, what does this line mean?"
Li Yuanzhao curled his lips and immediately prepared to show off!
Fang Zhengyi spoke first: "It's actually quite simple! Our Majesty is also a mathematician. The meaning of this line is... Between two points, the straight line is the shortest."
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line... Maude understood this sentence.
But what does this have to do with the strategic arrangements for fighting a war?
"Could the Marquis of Jianye explain further?"
Fang Zhengyi said easily: "To put it simply, it is to walk in a straight line. Although the customs and habits in the West are good, Your Majesty is a nostalgic person and is anxious to go home for dinner."
"On the road, I will kill gods and Buddhas when I meet them, and finally put down the rebellion and return home."
"Of course, we can't march in a straight line. We will only take the most direct and convenient route when marching. That's what I mean."
Li Yuanzhao crossed his arms and nodded twice deeply.
Yes, that's what I mean.
absurd!
A huge sense of absurdity filled everyone's heart.
Especially Maud.
The emperor and the Marquis of Jianye had a very good impression of each other when they first met, but the attitude suddenly changed when they started talking about the war.
The painting styles of these two people suddenly became sloppy.
It feels like they are not here to fight, their attitude is as relaxed as if they are just having a picnic.
Such an emperor...can he win a battle?
Arrogant soldiers will surely be defeated!
Are the people of Dajing too rich? Have they lived in ease for too long and are they no longer interested in fighting?
But in a flash, Maude denied his idea.
Emperor Dajing had just met with a group of outsiders, so it was absolutely impossible for him to reveal the specific tactical arrangements.
He didn't want to answer and was just saying it jokingly...that should be it.
Since the other party was so perfunctory, Maude didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only deal with it casually.
Then he asked, "I have another question for your majesty. Can Dajing's divine punishment weapons be sold to our country?"
Li Yuanzhao instinctively wanted to refuse, but Fang Zhengyi took over and said, "Sure, of course. As long as the price is right, I can sell anything."
"Really?" Everyone's eyes lit up.
Speaking of divine punishment weapons, they have become well-known after so many years of dissemination.
Although it lacks mobility, it is a huge deterrent when used to defend the city.
There is no better weapon for defending a city.
I didn't expect that Dajingren would agree so easily.
This is definitely an unexpected bonus!
