Chapter 426 Absolutely No Tolerance
The incident of the Dayu merchants being intercepted and killed outside Wuyun City caused a great uproar.
The news spread throughout all twelve border cities.
While everyone was shocked, they also expressed some concern.
Upon seeing this, Burileg quickly posted a notice stating that he would do his best to ensure everyone's safety.
But everyone is still scared!
The merchants had heard that it was the cavalry of the Northern Barbarians who did it.
They not only stole the goods, but also killed the people!
Not only did they kill him, they also hacked him to pieces. What kind of deep hatred must they have!
Everyone immediately thought of the brutality of the Hu people in the past...
At this moment, Boss Ye also spoke up.
He said the merchant who was intercepted had an 80-year-old mother and an eight-month-old baby crying for food.
"He is an honest man. Although he is a traveling merchant, he never tries to raise prices on the spot."
He did a lot of good deeds with his strength.
Those damned imperial troops, how could they be so cruel!
Good deeds don't always get rewarded!
"Don't worry, everyone, my business will take good care of his family." Boss Ye said, his eyes reddening.
Then one of the merchant's nephews, who had been killed, started hugging the coffin and wailing loudly.
"Second Uncle! Why did you leave like this? You said you'd go home and retire after this business deal was done!"
"What will Grandma do without you? What will happen to my little nephew?!"
The more the nephew talked, the more upset he became.
How could he not be heartbroken! He, a dignified man from the Great Yu region, was forced to mourn while holding a coffin containing a Hu person...
Luckily, the boss paid me well.
They say that once he's cried enough this time, he'll have the money to get married!
Upon thinking of this, the little nephew who had suddenly appeared immediately began to wail.
He patted the coffin lid while recounting the hardships his second uncle had endured.
I was crying and then suddenly I burst into tears...
Shen Qingming, who had been watching the spectacle, found his eyes twitching.
He couldn't help but ask Mr. Ye, who was standing next to him.
"Where did you find such a clown?"
"He's an orphan in our business, and I raised him. He's quite clever."
"But after you finish crying, you can get married. It'll cost you five hundred taels of silver!" Boss Ye said in a low voice.
Shen Qingming suddenly realized.
Indeed, money is a good thing...
With such a major incident occurring in the border town, the Weiyuan Army has also responded.
"The Weiyuan Army of Dayu will protect every Dayu resident."
Regardless of their status—noble, commoner, or merchant—all deserve the protection of the Weiyuan Army.
I was deeply shocked by the incident of the merchants from Chongqing being intercepted and killed.
In response, the Weiyuan Army is determined to make the Northern Hu imperial court pay a heavy price...
Everyone has seen the statement made by Chang Shenggong of Weiyuan Army.
In just two days, the Weiyuan Army had already mobilized half of its troops to garrison outside Wuyun City.
The tents stretched as far as the eye could see.
The Northern Hu army was also somewhat surprised.
They haven't even moved yet, so why did the Da Yu army move first?
Upon closer inquiry, they learned that a soldier from the Northern Hu imperial court had intercepted and killed a merchant caravan from Dayu.
this......
When the people of the Northern Hu imperial court found out, they were somewhat surprised, but they also believed that it must have been done by their own troops.
"Kill them if you want! Haven't we barbarians killed enough people from the Central Plains?"
So what if we killed a caravan of merchants? We used to kill entire villages all the time.
"Don't worry about them. If they dare to take another step forward, they can't blame us for being impolite," the Right Chancellor of the Imperial Court sneered.
"Your Excellency! I've heard that the firearms of the Great Yu are very powerful now," someone said to him.
"Useless!"
Firearms? You mean those things that look like fireworks?
Warfare is about who has more warhorses and more soldiers, not about setting off more fireworks.
"When it comes to cavalry, who can compare to us Hu people!" The Right Chancellor still didn't take the Dayu army seriously.
......
The situation in the border city was critical, and urgent letters were being sent to the capital.
When Emperor Xiao Wu saw that the Weiyuan Army had begun to garrison outside Wuyun City, he was so happy that he slapped the table.
The opportunity has finally arrived!
"Pass down the order: The Northern Barbarians are harassing our borders, killing our merchants, and occupying our land."
Chongqing will absolutely not tolerate this!
Every inch of land and every person is the bottom line that the Chongqing army is determined to defend to the death.
"I will personally lead the army..."
Emperor Xiao Wu suppressed his joy and issued the order.
Upon receiving the order, Lord Shangguan immediately polished a stirring and eloquent battle manifesto.
"...the barbarians killed our people, occupied our land, and committed atrocities..."
It is intolerable to Heaven...
Therefore, the Emperor of Dayu personally led an expedition to seek justice for the people.
The emperor defended the country and valiantly defeated the Tartars...
As soon as the proclamation was posted, it was immediately transmitted to major cities in Dayu.
The people who saw the manifesto first were even more outraged...
