A few days later, they received news that along the coast of Cangwu, pirates had invaded the border and attacked two civilian ships from Cangwu.
It is said that the boat contained the dowry of Princess Annan, which was transported from Annan County to Emperor Xuanzong.
Even though this was such a big event, Empress Cangwu did not show up.
It was the crown prince who went down to suppress the bandits.
Everyone knows that Queen Cangwu is the most protective of her people.
According to legend, there was a daughter of the Song clan who married far away. Later, because she did not give birth to a son, she was abused by her in-laws.
For this reason, Empress Cangwu was furious. Not only did she sentence the Song girl to divorce, but she also beheaded her mother-in-law who had abused her after the divorce.
There is even legislation for this.
Because of a sister of the same clan, the legislation of Cangwu was amended. This is really absurd and protective.
In fact, the cause of this incident was that the husband's family drowned their two granddaughters.
Giving birth to a boy is to carry on the family line, while giving birth to a girl is a loss of money, or even giving birth but not raising her, and spoiling her.
When Song Jinxiu found out about this, she was furious.
She had never expected that now that she was the empress and there were female officials in the court, there would still be such a serious preference for boys over girls, and even things like not taking girls' lives seriously.
Beheading the person involved is to kill someone and pay with his life. She wants to make it known to everyone and set an example.
To this end, she made a law: Giving birth to a child but not raising it is a thief, and drowning a child at birth is a murderer.
Song Jinxiu did all this not just for the girls of the Song family, but for all the women in Cangwu.
Also, because the entire population of Cangwu was mobilized to investigate the sacrificial array that year, they also checked out foreign details.
Of course, Junjun's animal army played a key role in the detailed investigation and handling.
Therefore, the information that the Dada people received was somewhat delayed and even pieced together.
They thought that the Queen Cangwu, who was so protective of her own children, was actually indifferent to the robbery of the dowry of her only sister, Princess Annan, which meant that something must have happened to her.
Two days later, news came that the emperor had become hysterical and was clamoring to kill Empress Cangwu. The empress still did not show up.
Clamoring about killing people?
늀 is just something said in anger, 껩 can reflect a big problem. That was Cangwu's Supreme Emperor and Empress, who were already in a state of turmoil.
In fact, the real situation was that the retired emperor was clamoring to chase the empress. He wanted to face the sea and see the spring flowers blooming.
"My king, it is said that Queen Cangwu has not appeared in public for more than half a year."
"Hahaha, good, it seems that there is a civil strife in Cangwu. The Queen of Cangwu is no longer in control of herself. She is under house arrest by the old emperor."
This guess made King Dada, who was sitting on the throne with high spirits, smile. He seemed to see the huge granary in Cangwu waving to him.
He waved his hand and finally made up his mind to give it a try.
"Gather the troops and attack Cangwu Baiyun County. Pay attention, our target is the granary there. Take it and run. Don't fight to the death."
One of the ministers frowned and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, Baiyun County only has a thousand soldiers. Why don't we take this opportunity to capture Baiyun County?"
It is true that Baiyun County only has a few thousand soldiers, but they have been fighting for so many years, haven't they gained any benefits from those thousands of people?
Besides, if he robbed the food and ran away, people might turn a blind eye. But once he occupied their territory and their army approached, wouldn't that mean an all-out war?
You know, there is no major war in Cangwu now, and the water bandits are just making small fights.
Thinking of this, King Dada glared at the minister and said, "Do you know how the mountain eagle fights the wild wolf for food? If it doesn't run, is it waiting to be torn to pieces?"
Minister: Your Majesty, what you said makes me feel like you are running away in a panic? Why! To put it bluntly, the king is unsure!
King Dada was certainly unsure, even though he always looked down on Queen Cangwu in his words.
But what cannot be denied is that during the years when that woman took office, Cangwu's national strength has grown by leaps and bounds. Their Dada Kingdom and his Dada King are really no match for them.
This time, 껩늀 received news of the internal strife within the Cangwu royal family, so he dared to send troops to test the waters.
Just as the army was assembled here, Song Jinxiu got the news from the goshawk.
Yes, now the goshawks on the grassland, the petrels on the sea, and the cheetahs in the jungle are all Junjun’s intelligence agents.
Since Song Jinxiu established his foundation, Junjun's cultivation has improved, and now he has become the king of animals in the three realms of sea, land and air.
Therefore, before the Dada people set out, the Song family army guarding the Dada border had already received orders from Song Jinxiu.
Since Song Chunsheng became the principal of the military academy, the Dragon and Tiger Camp of the Xishan Camp has been led by Sun Guang. Some of the young men of the Song Jiajin generation stayed in the Xishan camp, some entered military academies, and some went to the border.
Back then, Song Jinsheng and Song Jinyou each led hundreds of brothers from the Dragon and Tiger Camp to suppress bandits, and then stayed on the northern border.
Because Song Jinxiu knew that sooner or later, there would be a war between the Dada people.
At the very least, she had to take back the white mountains and black waters.
This is her obsession.
The Song family army on the border now has Song Jinsheng as the main general and Song Jinyou as the deputy general. Over the years, the Dada people have come to harass the people on the border from time to time.
The two of them are old rivals, going back and forth with each other.
At this time, the two received instructions from His Majesty to evacuate the people from the border and properly resettle them. Leave some food for the Dada people to grab.
Song Jinsheng was puzzled: "What does your Majesty, our clan leader, mean? Poor those Dada people who have nothing to eat?"
Song Jinyou said: "Just do whatever the clan leader tells you to do. I can't keep up with the brain of our majesty even if I rack my brains."
He scratched his head and said, "I guess His Majesty is afraid that the Dada people will really starve to death, and we will become the target of actual combat exercises."
Song Jinsheng nodded: "Yes, but is our food so easy to rob? I think our Majesty wants to deal with these bastards."
Song Jinxiu: The ones who know me best are my two cousins.
She wanted to make it easy for them to rob, otherwise what would they do if they got scared?
If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy.
The Crown Prince has never seen war, so we should give him a chance, right?
On the 10th day of the 10th month, His Majesty returned to the palace.
An emergency cabinet meeting was held late at night. The Minister of War Liu Nenggan, the Minister of Revenue Zhang Zihan, the President of the Military Academy Song Chunsheng and others were all there.
The second morning court,
The old Prime Minister Zhou Kunran, with his hair and beard all white, was full of vigor and vitality as he read out the imperial edict:
"The Emperor Chengyun issued an edict:
The great righteousness of the people should be unified. King Dada is cruel to the people and has done great evil to the people. Anyone who offends Cangwu will be punished even if he is far away. Wherever the king's army went, they were all ministers of Cangwu. ”
This was the first imperial edict issued by Empress Cangwu after returning to the palace. It was an imperial edict to punish Dada.
The crowd was shocked.
Is this the official start of the war?
Is it finally time to defeat Dada?
"Your Majesty is so awesome. You said it very well. Your Majesty's righteousness lies in unification. Only with unification can your people live and work in peace and contentment."
The current Huaiyang Earl Tian Lei has great admiration for His Majesty. He thinks that His Majesty should have unified the north long ago.
A minister followed up and said, "Yes, these Dada people are restless in winter and spring."
"King Dada can't manage his own country well. Regardless of drought or flood, as long as there is a shortage of food and drink, they shamelessly come out to rob."
"Humph! You always use banditry to harm our Cangwu border residents. Your crimes are grave and unforgivable."
"We have long wanted to deal with them. Those who invade our Cangwu will be punished no matter how far away they are. Your Majesty's words really touched my heart."
The court was filled with excitement. The current Cangwu was a prosperous country with a strong people. The Dada people actually dared to provoke and be arrogant. They really asked for a fight.
