February 15th, the eleventh year of the Xuanli calendar.
Nearly a month has passed since the Second Divine Sword Army captured Qiyun Pass.
During this month, Emperor Yan Liangze of the Yi Kingdom simply lost his appetite and could not sleep at night!
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the Tailin City stock market crashed - this was different from what Fu Xiaoguan had expected, as he had not anticipated that Yan Liangze would be so stupid - Yan Liangze lost his wife and his army, and did not make a penny of silver. He also lost all the 50 million taels of silver originally in the national treasury.
Millions of stock investors in Tailin City who dreamed of getting rich were simply unable to face this sudden situation of losing everything.
Many people jumped from the building... The building was too low, so although they didn't die, many were injured.
So many people jumped into the well that there was no well water available in the huge city of Tailin!
Many people also started a riot with kitchen knives. They gathered together and actually burned down the Bada Money House. Then they besieged the Tailin government office, hacked the prefect to death, and killed hundreds of police officers.
Yan Liangze was facing an invasion of warriors at that time, so he didn't have the patience to reason with these unruly people.
So, under his order, all the imperial guards were dispatched, and they massacred the city for three days, with blood flowing like a river, and only then was the riot suppressed.
But this hidden danger is huge, and Bian Muyu is worried but helpless.
And the Minister of State Wu Wenhai naturally became the scapegoat.
Yan Liangze dismissed him from his official position and took him to the execution ground. An imperial edict was announced to the world, listing Wu Wenhai's heinous crimes in detail and making him take the blame. Then, he was executed by slow slicing in front of tens of thousands of people.
This can be considered as an explanation to the shareholders.
But now even the Bada Money House is gone, and the stocks they hold are so difficult to wipe out that they can't even afford to pay for them.
Those merchants who raised money by issuing stocks thought they had picked up a great bargain, but before they could even warm up the silver in their hands, their homes were ransacked by the brutal guards.
Yan Liangze finally snatched back 80 million taels of silver!
It's time to fight!
As his several edicts were issued, the troops from the six provinces of Yi State began to mobilize, and the three major border armies of Yi State also began to gather towards Dayu Pass.
He originally thought that he could stop this invading army outside Dayu Pass, or even wipe them out somewhere in the six southwestern provinces. However, what he never expected was that this invading army was as fast as the wind!
It’s the autumn wind!
Swift and fierce, like the wind sweeping away the remaining clouds and the wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
His soldiers were like tofu in front of this army, the tender and juicy kind!
No single unit of government troops can match this army!
Judging from the battle reports sent back... Yan Liangze even suspected that if hundreds of thousands of pigs were released, they would probably be able to delay the army's pace a little bit better than these hundreds of thousands of palace soldiers!
As they came along, the 300,000 soldiers from the six southwestern provinces were like chickens and dogs, and were defeated in an instant.
It is said that more than 200,000 people died, and it was thought that more than 100,000 people survived. However, no one expected that only three days after this army left, another army of 200,000 people came!
The army behind pounced on the remnants of the defeated troops like a vicious dog, and wiped out all the remaining 100,000 government soldiers in this vast land.
Then, they divided into six teams and occupied the provincial capitals of the six southwestern provinces - this meant that this vast land and the people on this land were occupied by the Wu Dynasty.
He originally thought that the people of this land would spontaneously rise up in rebellion, but he did not expect that none of the people, or even the wealthy businessmen, would make a sound.
They seemed to have accepted their fate!
What about the bloodiness of the barbarians?
Could he have been killed like this?
Then he heard another piece of unfortunate news - the Emperor of Wu Dynasty personally visited this land and issued an imperial decree, taking this land into the ownership of Wu Dynasty, and it became the six southwestern states of Wu Dynasty!
In this decree, the fat man clearly stated that Fu Xiaoguan would return to the country at the end of this year and ascend the throne to become emperor!
You will be Fu Xiaoguan's subjects, and under Fu Xiaoguan's leadership, you will open up a brand new future!
Just like your former Wofengyuan!
What the hell!
When Yan Liangze saw the news, he vomited five mouthfuls of blood.
This is where the greatest power of this imperial edict lies.
Fu Xiaoguan was so famous that the prosperity of Wofeng Road had already spread throughout the Yi Kingdom.
After hearing the news, all the people in the six southwestern provinces did not feel the slightest bit of national humiliation. They actually jumped for joy and even set off fireworks, celebrating!
Are these still my people?
I just added taxes three more times!
Where is your patriotism?
How could you be so depraved as to be willing to be ruled by another country... What kind of logic is this?
Yan Liangze didn't have time to figure out why this happened, because every day after that, he was anxiously worried about the urgent news sent by carrier pigeons.
Before the three border armies he mobilized reached Dayu Pass, the army called the Second Divine Sword Army had already broken through Dayu Pass!
It was an army of 100,000 people, and it only took them one hour to capture Dayu Pass!
The three thousand soldiers guarding the pass were killed - the rest simply dropped their weapons and ran away!
In other words, Dayuguan did not resist at all!
"Hahahaha..." Yan Liangze laughed while sitting on the dragon throne, looking crazy.
"This is my army!"
"These are my subjects!"
"This is my kingdom!"
"This is bullshit!"
He was suddenly furious, his face ferocious. He stood up and pointed at the civil and military officials below, "If the king is worried, the ministers will be humiliated. If the king is humiliated, the ministers will die!"
"I have suffered such great humiliation, you all... deserve to die!"
All the ministers hung their heads, their faces pale.
"You all go to hell!"
"You don't even have the courage to die for me? Are you thinking of letting Fu Xiaoguan break in, capture me alive, destroy the Yi Kingdom, and let the Wu Dynasty rule this land?"
"You're all good-for-nothings! My money is used to support a bunch of good-for-nothings like you who just sit in office and do nothing!"
"Do you know where the Second Divine Sword Army is heading? They've already crossed the Qu River and are only ten days away from Tailin City!"
He was breathing heavily and his face was flushed.
His chest was heaving violently, and his eyeballs were almost bulging out.
"I'm so incompetent..." He sat down on the dragon throne, as if all his strength was gone in an instant.
"Don't worry, I will never surrender. When that army reaches the city... I will bury all of you with me!"
Just then, a eunuch came hurriedly.
He whispered in Yan Liangze's ear, "Your Majesty, the Second Excalibur Army is heading northwest."
