We, South Vietnam, have no past or present grudges against him, so what is he seeking revenge for?"
"It's said that during the last Six Nations Chamber of Commerce, Dongxiang lost the mining rights to the largest gold mine on the Jiuzhou Continent. In a rage, Emperor Dongxiang wanted to depose Crown Prince Dongfang Ming, but Dongfang Ming issued a military order, promising to force Nanyue to voluntarily give up the gold mine.
Emperor Dongxiang gave Dongfang Ming one last chance, handing over military power to him. General Pei explained that he had led 100,000 men to attack the people on the border of South Vietnam, hoping to prevent the South Vietnamese from surrendering their gold mining rights after suffering heavy losses.
Dongfang Ming also announced that if he didn't want General Pei and those 500,000 soldiers to perish on the border, he would have to hand over the gold mining rights.
The soldier spoke in one breath and then fainted. Qian Yeming immediately ordered the imperial physician to treat the soldier.
Qian Yeming's love and care for the soldiers can be said to be the greatest oath he has ever given to the court officials.
In the eyes of the Emperor, no matter how high your position and power, if you threaten the country, he will crush you like an ant. But if you are someone who truly dedicates yourself to the country, even if you are a lowly soldier, you can sit on equal footing with the Emperor and receive treatment that even a first-rank minister cannot afford.
"Everyone, you heard what happened just now. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I believe we should immediately deploy personnel to Hangu Pass to support General Pei."
Upon hearing that something had happened at Hangu Pass, the mighty general Chai Jing, who had been idle in the capital, immediately stepped forward to request orders.
Ever since His Royal Highness Prince Li was deposed, he, the father-in-law, was summoned back to the capital to report on his duties by an imperial decree from the retired emperor. After that, he was left idle at home like Murong Qingyu, and never returned to the military camp.
You must know that once a general is left idle, he will be worse than a civil official.
He had really had enough of this period of time, and now he had finally waited until today, so Chai Jing stepped forward and asked for orders without thinking.
In response to Chai Jing's request, Qian Yeming did not respond to him immediately, but looked at other ministers.
"General Chai wants me to send troops to support General Pei immediately. What do you all think? Do you agree with General Pei?"
"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion from General Chai."
As soon as the words fell, Prince Rui Qian Yeze, who had never spoken in the court since Qian Yeming ascended the throne, stood up and objected:
"They've said before that if we surrender the mining rights to the gold mine, they'll immediately abandon the siege. General Pei is a renowned general of South Vietnam. I believe that under Dongxiang's siege, General Pei will be able to find a way to protect himself and his army. If the Emperor gives up the mining rights to the gold mine, General Pei and his army will be safe."
Chai Jing was immediately dissatisfied with Prince Rui's interruption, and he retorted, "Your Highness, you usually stay in a comfortable place like the palace, so you may not know the dangers of the battlefield. The battlefield is changing rapidly. It may only take an hour for us to lose tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers' lives.
Your Highness Prince Rui might think that since there are so many people in Nanyue, if they die, you can just recruit more soldiers. But Your Highness Prince Rui should know that even these lowly soldiers are raised by their parents, and they too have parents, wives, and children to support.
Your Highness, why do soldiers serve in the military? Why do they risk their lives to defend the safety of South Vietnam?
