Chapter 659: Mirage Crime
Zhou Chang put his thoughts aside and handed the "Ten Sins of the Mirage Nation" to Jiang Meng. "I just asked General Han Hui to help write this. General Jiang, take a look and see if you want to ask the military advisors to polish it. When you bid farewell to Brother Xian, Brother Jiang will read it out in public. This will not only send Brother Xian off, but also boost the morale of the army."
Jiang Meng didn't expect that Prince Yi could be so thoughtful. He quickly put the letter in his arms and took it with both hands. Before he even took a look at it, he promised: "Your Highness Prince Yi has thought about it very carefully. I am really inferior to him. This is exactly what we should do at this time."
Seeing Jiang Meng like this, Zhou Chang became even more suspicious.
How did the combination of a king who knew no military tactics and a young man who seemed to be pampered and knowledgeable about military affairs win the battle last time?
The more he thought about it, the more Zhou Chang couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jiang, did you volunteer to come to fight the Mirage Army this time?"
"Defending the borders, protecting the land, and defending the country are the duties of those of us in the military. What's more, 'soldiers follow their generals and generals obey orders'. There is no question of willingness or unwillingness." Jiang Meng said as a matter of course.
Zhou Chang looked at Jiang Meng's expression and indeed could not see any reluctance, but how could he know that this was not the effect of the "promotion order" just now?
In the current situation, it is impossible to find out anything by trying.
Zhou Chang gave up.
Afterwards, Jiang Meng assembled the three armies.
Zhou Chang led everyone to pay tribute to King Xian's coffin.
Jiang Meng read out in public the "Ten Sins of the Shen Kingdom" and asked the soldiers to write down the "Ten Virtues of King Xian".
Zhou Chang didn't have time to take a closer look at what the "Ten Major Sins" were, but when he heard them he felt they were strangely familiar.
First, the Mirage Kingdom is a gathering of exiled criminals and bandits from the Central Plains. Since the previous dynasty, they have formed pirate and robber groups to plunder wealth and wantonly invade the people in the northeast, southeast inland and coastal areas. This has lasted for nearly four hundred years.
Article 2. Since the occupation of the three states in the 18th year of Lin Guo You'an, it has been nearly 20 years, and they have wantonly enslaved the people of Lin Guo, reducing them to cattle and horses.
Third, thirteen years ago, in order to suppress the people, a brutal massacre was carried out. In three months, more than 400,000 of our people were slaughtered, and corpses were everywhere, with grief everywhere.
Article 4: For a long time, the "Three Alls Policy" of burning, killing and looting was implemented against the people of the neighboring countries in the three states. Such behavior is worse than that of beasts.
Article 5. For many years, the people in the three states have been displaced, men have been reduced to cattle and horses, women have been reduced to prostitutes, rape and looting, and all kinds of evil have been committed. They are truly insane and have angered both humans and gods.
Article 6. Although the Lin State had defeated the Mirage State or negotiated with it many times, the Mirage State was hypocritical, did not keep its promise, unilaterally violated the signed agreement, and broke its promise, which is despicable.
Article 7: Whitewashing the identities of thieves, falsifying historical facts in an attempt to cover up crimes, and advocating the theory that occupation is not a crime are intolerable.
Article 8: They burn, kill, rob and commit all kinds of evil. Wherever they go, they leave no grass growing, like locusts, rats and ants passing through.
Article 9. The Mirage Kingdom is actually a barbarian country that fears power but not virtue. It appears to be polite on the surface, but has no righteousness at all. It tries to sow discord between neighboring countries and many surrounding countries and provoke war.
Article 10: Use poison arrows to set an ambush and kill the fifth prince of Lin State.
After the ten points were read out, the crowd was outraged.
Next is the "Ten Virtues" of King Xian. Compared with the previous ones, these ten are a bit sloppy, mainly because the soldiers were temporarily captured and could not think of anything to say.
Jiang Meng's throat was already smoking after he finished reciting King Xian's "Ten Virtues".
Zhou Chang just listened and read through them without remembering any of them.
Then, under the gaze of the soldiers of the three armies, King Xian's coffin, escorted by five thousand personal guards, set off in a grand procession back to Jindu.
Jiang Meng took this opportunity to announce that he would send out troops early tomorrow morning to take the initiative and recover the land of the remaining two states.
The soldiers from the three armies who remained behind all cheered.
After sending off King Xian's coffin, Zhou Chang suddenly thought of Yuan Qi.
After searching everywhere for Yuan Qi, they found out that Yuan Qi had also left the city.
Zhou Chang led his men on horseback to chase her and finally caught up with her outside the west gate of Maicheng.
Facing Yuan Qi, Zhou Chang opened his mouth but could not say anything.
Why did she want to chase after Yuan Qi whenever she thought of him, but when she really caught up with him, she didn't know what to say.
After a long while, the three words "Yufengshe" popped into my head.
Zhou Chang quickly brought it up as a topic: "I heard that the Yuan family has an organization called 'Yufengshe' that can quickly transmit messages?"
Yuan Qi stared at him for a long time. When he heard this, his burning gaze instantly turned cold: "Your Highness, did you come here just to ask me this question?"
Of course not, but Zhou Chang himself couldn't answer it.
Yuan Qi then said, "Didn't I tell you before that in these three states, if the prince can find Longyu Bank and give you an order, I will fully cooperate."
Zhou Chang finally spoke his true feelings: "I, I came here just to see you off, but I was so busy and when I turned around you were gone."
Yuan Qi had been here for two days, but he didn't feel anything. But when he turned around, he was gone. Zhou Chang felt as if there was an extra string in his heart, and the other end of the string was in Yuan Qi's hand.
As soon as Yuan Qi left, I felt uncomfortable.
Yuan Qi's eyes moved, but he didn't respond to the question: "Your Highness, you don't know that 'Yufengshe' is indeed owned by the Yuan family, because it was originally acquired from the Shen Kingdom and is not located in the Lin Kingdom, so there are no 'Long' and 'Yu' in the name, so most people don't know that it is also owned by the Yuan family."
Zhou Chang was "led astray" and asked in surprise: "Mirage Country? 'Yufengshe' is actually from Mirage Country, so there is such an intelligence agency in Mirage Country?"
Yuan Qi nodded silently and admitted generously: "I didn't mention it before because I felt it was unnecessary to mention it. If Your Majesty can use me in any way, please let me know. I'll say hello later."
"..." Zhou Chang was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
How can you not make money if you do business to this extent?
Yuan Qi must be able to become the richest woman in the world.
Yuan Qi immediately added: "However, although 'Yufengshe' also collects some information, most of it is dealing with the nobles of the Mirage Kingdom for business, and will not participate in political disputes. Although the enemy and us are clear, there are still thousands of people in 'Yufengshe' who are civilians. The Yuan family cannot put them in danger."
"Of course, of course..." Zhou Chang nodded quickly.
The Yuan family was originally a business family. Although it was their duty to help when the country was in trouble, the Yuan family had done enough for him and the neighboring country, and they should not be asked to sacrifice more.
After Zhou Chang nodded, the atmosphere froze again.
I seemed to have a thousand words to say on the way to chase him, but my mind was empty when I saw Yuan Qi.
It took a long time for him to say anything pleasing.
When this happens, the brain starts to be filled with irrelevant information for no reason.
All of a sudden, the three words "Wen Qingyan" popped up again.
When this name came out, Zhou Chang was shocked at first. He hadn't thought of this person for a long time.
Of course, no matter how stupid you are, you can't ruin the mood by mentioning Wen Fei at this time.
Zhou Chang shook his head and reluctantly changed the subject: "What about the gold salvaging? Did you get anything?"
Yuan Qi knew that Zhou Chang was just making small talk: "It's been a good harvest. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about money."
"Hmm..." Zhou Chang really couldn't think of any more to say.
Yuan Qi couldn't stand Zhou Chang's "constipated" and "diarrhea" expressions, so he took the initiative to end the conversation: "It's getting late. If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first. Safety comes first."
After saying this, without waiting for Zhou Chang to reply, he turned around and got back on the carriage.
Zhou Chang really couldn't say anything and could only watch Yuan Qi's convoy go further and further away.
When the golden afterglow of the setting sun was about to fade away and the wind was chilling all over my body, two words came to my mind: "Don't go..."
