Chapter 150 Finale Part 2
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Weapons such as muskets, cannons and mines were previously the highest military secrets, so they were kept particularly tightly guarded.
Not to mention outsiders, even few people in the Southwestern Army knew about it.
Now that these weapons have been used on the battlefield, the news naturally cannot be concealed.
Soon a minister found out that all the new weapons used this time were designed by Liu Zhiyuan, and she also provided a very powerful military strategy.
Upon receiving this news, all the ministers fell silent.
Then I heard that this year's reform of the imperial examination system was also promoted by Liu Zhiyuan, so I became even more silent.
They thought that Liu Zhiyuan was just a woman, and that she was able to be in charge of the imperial examination and rule the country from behind the scenes because of the emperor's favor.
But I didn't expect that she was so talented and did so many things behind the scenes that others didn't know about.
If it weren't for Liu Zhiyuan, the 100,000-strong army from the southwest would definitely lose against the 600,000-strong army from the northwest!
When they went to court again, everyone felt complicated.
Continue to despise Liu Zhiyuan. Isn't this like picking up the bowl to eat and then cursing when putting it down?
Accept her, but I feel a little uncomfortable.
In everyone's opinion, men are the breadwinners outside the home and women are the homemakers inside the home, and women should stay at home, take care of everything at home, and have children.
But the facts prove that some women are much more powerful than them.
This makes them feel ashamed.
This contradictory mentality only existed for two days. News of another great victory came from the border, and the entire court was in an uproar.
As good news came one after another, the civil and military officials had less and less resentment towards Liu Zhiyuan, and finally they wanted to worship her.
This is not the harem interfering in politics at all, she is clearly a goddess sent by God to bless Dayong!
Hey, this rhetoric sounds familiar.
I remembered that Liu Zhiyuan had successfully prayed for rain in Yuzhou, and the people of Yuzhou at that time respectfully called her a goddess.
Oh shit, it turns out that it really is a goddess descending to the world!
The first time Liu Zhiyuan received the news from Haidongqing was one month after Xiao Yu went on the expedition.
The Southwestern Army suffered its first defeat.
General Zhennan led 5,000 elite soldiers to take a detour through a small road, but they were ambushed and their entire army was wiped out.
Even General Zhennan, Yan Wu, Yan Ruyu's father, was seriously injured.
When the news reached the military camp, Xiao Yu was using a sand table to simulate tactics. Upon hearing this, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
He immediately wrote a letter and asked Liu Zhiyuan to cast a spell to reverse time and space to the morning of that day, so that they could ambush in advance and wipe out the enemy army.
Liu Zhiyuan was overjoyed when she saw the Saker Falcon landing at the window.
It was Xiao Yu's handwriting, a letter he wrote himself!
There was a small line of words at the end of the letter, which was written to her.
My beloved, everything is fine, don't worry.
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes were moist. She put the letter against her chest and felt the warm current in her chest.
Then reverse gear and return to Chenshi.
She sat back in the imperial study and summoned the ministers.
After thinking about it, she saved a new gear.
During this period, she was very careful and saved the file again every ten days to avoid system failure due to excessive memory.
Soon, another battle report came back, and the whole court was as happy as if it were New Year.
I originally thought that this battle would take at least three months, but I didn't expect that we would win in just one and a half months.
Xiao Yu killed Chen Hongyu with a musket on the battlefield, and the enemy was leaderless and surrendered.
The Northwestern Army didn't really want to fight the Southwestern Army. After all, they were also people of Dayong, and many people were unwilling to turn around and fight their own emperor.
What's more, the other side has advanced weapons such as cannons.
However, military orders cannot be disobeyed.
Now that the general is dead, there is no need to continue fighting.
Liu Zhiyuan originally thought that he could return to the court after defeating Xiao Yu, but that didn't happen.
The Northwestern Army was beaten back step by step by them and had retreated to the border between Dayong and Japan.
The last battle, the one that killed Chen Hongyu, was fought on the border of Japan. After winning the battle, Xiao Yu set up camp on the spot and incorporated the remaining Northwestern Army.
Of the 600,000-strong army, nearly half were killed or wounded, leaving only 350,000.
The 250,000 people who died were basically the private army raised by the Chen family.
Those private armies were trained by Chen Hongyu and were only loyal to the Chen family. As for Dayong's 400,000 troops, although they obeyed military orders, their hearts were with Dayong and they did not give their all on the battlefield.
Therefore, Chen Hongyu always let his private soldiers serve as the main force.
There was almost no casualties on the Southwestern Army's side.
The original plan was to return to the capital after incorporating the 350,000 Northwestern Army. However, that night, Japan launched a surprise attack and sent people to assassinate Xiao Yu.
He wanted to take the opportunity to kill Emperor Dayong.
The assassination failed, and the enraged Dayong soldiers were so excited that they immediately decided to attack Japan.
Anyway, they have come here and the other party has provoked them. They now have the soldiers and weapons they need. If they don’t fight now, when will they fight?
The deputy general was ordered to lead 300,000 troops back to the camp to strengthen border defense, while Xiao Yuze and the general Zhennan led the remaining 150,000 troops to attack Japan.
Japan was just a small country and could not withstand the attack of artillery. In less than two months, it was destroyed.
The King of Japan never imagined that a mere assassination would cost the entire country its life.
After defeating Japan, Dayong's morale was high. With such weapons in hand, what else are they afraid of? Let's keep going!
So they went to attack Goryeo next door.
Goryeo was defeated and unable to resist, so it sent envoys to seek help from the neighboring Dongling. Dongling sent troops to support it and they formed an alliance to fight together.
In addition, the neighboring countries of Baron and Ningdao were in a state of panic and began to form an alliance with Goryeo Dongling.
Everyone knows the principle of "lips and teeth are cold". They used to take advantage of the internal strife in Dayong to suppress Dayong. Now that Dayong is strong, it will definitely not let them go.
In this case, let’s unite and destroy Dayong first!
The four countries joined forces, with more than one million soldiers. Even if they had cannons in hand, it would be very difficult to deal with them.
The 300,000 troops that were recalled turned back to provide support.
The battle was very fierce and we suffered several defeats in a row.
When Haidongqing delivered the letter, Liu Zhiyuan helped to reverse the gear. He continued to reverse after losing, and also reversed when Xiao Yu was injured.
One of the battles in which all four countries went all out was extremely dangerous, and Liu Zhiyuan had to reverse gear more than a dozen times before he won.
The most serious incident was when Xiao Yu died on the battlefield, and Zhou Kang wrote a letter to her about it.
Zhou Kang was a civilian official. Although he followed the army, he did not go to the battlefield. He was only responsible for the transportation and maintenance of weapons.
Before going to the battlefield, Xiao Yu told him that if he could not come back, he should write a letter to Liu Zhiyuan and tell her what happened on the battlefield.
And he was told to be quick and write a letter immediately after the defeat.
When Liu Zhiyuan received the letter, his hands were shaking and he quickly put the car into reverse gear.
It was thrilling, but we won in the end.
After that battle, the four-nation coalition was completely defeated, its main forces were completely wiped out, and the remaining forces were not to be feared.
It wasn't until she received the news of victory that she felt relieved.
Others had no memory of the reverse gear incident, so in their eyes, it was the emperor who personally led the army to victory with the weapons developed by Concubine Liu, killing everyone in sight and never losing a battle!
Another month passed, and the four countries of Goryeo, Baron, Dongling and Ningdao finally could not bear it anymore and surrendered, signing a ceasefire at the cost of submitting to Dayong.
At this point, the world was unified.
When the news reached the capital, all the civil and military officials were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
Their feelings towards Xiao Yu also gradually changed from admiration at the beginning to resentment.
It's all the emperor's fault. He trapped the goddess Concubine Liu in the harem and didn't let her get involved in government affairs earlier. As a result, the vast hectares of land that originally belonged to Dayong have only returned to Dayong now.
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
What do you mean by the vast land that originally belonged to Dayong? Have you asked the opinions of the five major countries of Japan, Goryeo, Baron, Dongling and Ningdao?
Do they know that you regard their land as your own?
No matter what, the world is unified and belongs to Dayong. This achievement, which will be passed down through the ages, is celebrated by the whole world.
Liu Zhiyuan was very happy.
Now that we have won the battle, can Xiao Yu come back?
Ever since she received the news of the four countries' surrender, she has been waiting every day for Xiao Yu to come back.
This wait lasted two months.
With the four countries surrendering, there are many things that need to be dealt with, and Xiao Yu has to finish them before returning.
After all four countries were conquered, he released Haidongqing and told her that he would set off that day and return to the court.
After receiving the letter, Liu Zhiyuan would go to the city wall every day to wait for Jun's return.
Although she knew the journey was long, she still went there every day to wait, hoping that Xiao Yu would see her as soon as he came back.
At noon five days later, Liu Zhiyuan climbed up the city wall and saw from afar billowing dust and smoke and a mighty army approaching.
She looked up and saw the leader wearing armor and riding a tall horse, looking very heroic.
If it’s not Xiao Yu, then who else could it be?
Xiao Yu seemed to sense something and looked up at the city wall.
Liu Zhiyuan was dressed in red, dazzling and looking at him with tears in her eyes.
The two people's sight passed through the vast sea of people, through thousands of mountains and rivers, through two years of bloody battles, through more than seven hundred nights of cold guarding the border, and finally met.
When I led the troops to war in the past, no one was there to see me off on the wall, so I turned away dejectedly.
I return triumphantly today, and my beloved is eagerly waiting for me.
From now on, I will share the vast land with you.
