System, help me be an empress

Chapter 195
He Jiangyi stubbornly supported Fengnantu, and spent two hours recruiting a rebel army of [-] people for Fengnantu, and prepared weapons and food for them on the road.

That night, the group of insurgents set off for the capital overnight.

Your Majesty said, since this is a family matter of the Ming Mi Kingdom, it is natural to leave it to the family to resolve it internally. On the premise of ensuring their own safety, they can just watch the excitement.

The rebel army temporarily formed in Mingmi's country is about to enter the capital. What is unexpected is that along the way, the rebel peasants who were originally scattered all over the country spontaneously brought their tools to join them.

Two days later, hundreds of people have become a team of thousands, and the distance between them and the capital is getting closer and closer.

Now Mingya's main force is basically guarding the border with Dagan, leaving the capital empty of troops.Seeing the menacing uprising army, the dignitaries hiding in the capital were frightened and asked their monarch to immediately transfer the soldiers from the border of Yunnan to defend the capital first.

However, it is not a small matter to transfer troops from the border. They have to be on guard against whether Dagan will take advantage of the chaos and invade; several neighboring countries have no courage to help them because they are threatened by Dagan; in addition, the sea area has also been blocked by General He. , They can't escape even if they want to.

Just when the monarch of Mingmi Kingdom was in a dilemma, a letter from Emperor Dagan arrived.

Monarch Amy quickly unfolded the letter and read it quickly.

The letter put forward a very tricky condition. If Mingmi Kingdom can transport 20 ingots of gold to the border of Dagan before the expiration of the seven-day period, Dagan will not only withdraw the troops, but also help them solve the problem of the rebel army.

Why do you say tricky?

Because when the letter was sent to Minami Capital City, there was only one and a half days left before the deadline.

At this time, where should they go to raise the 20 ingots of gold?

There was an uproar in the city of Mingmi. In order to save their lives, the dignitaries spared no effort to scrape together 20 gold and shipped it to the Dagan border overnight.

Finally, on the evening of the seventh day, the Yunnan Frontier Army received the gold.

The frontier soldiers couldn't help cheering when they saw the truckloads of gold that were enough to pile up hills. The resentment they had been holding back these days seemed to find an evacuation point in an instant.

Your Majesty, you are right!

Within seven days, it is guaranteed that Mingmi Kingdom will hand over the gold obediently!

Even Liu Jiye, who was always calm and calm on weekdays, was infected by this joy, with frequent smiles on his face.

"Come here quickly, another letter from Shangjing!"

"Your Majesty said that 1 taels of gold will be reserved to reward all the soldiers who resisted Ming Mi this time, and the remaining gold will be transported back to Shangjing."

"Everyone is holding on for a few more days. Your Majesty said that it will take ten days at most before you can get back on track!"

"My God, did Ming Mi run away without a fight before we even started?"

"Do it mightily!"

In order to celebrate receiving the gold from the Ming Mi Kingdom, the army killed a lot of chickens and ducks that night, and cooked a large pot of thick, fresh and mellow broth.

Everyone ate and drank very happily, and at the same time, everyone knew in their hearts that there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever.Now that the gold has been delivered, they will soon have to say goodbye to those people who came to Beijing to help.

Liu Jiye didn't stay any longer, and returned to Beijing with the gold convoy. The materials he collected were enough for him to write several articles.He had a hunch that when he returned to Shangjing, he would definitely discover many stories that he didn't know.

Ming Mi was able to admit defeat so quickly, His Majesty must have used the trick of 'surprise victory'.

At that time, he will use the title "Mystery of Ming Mi's Subjugation" as the title, and write articles for several issues.

……

Compared with the joy of reaping victory in Shangjing, Mingmi Kingdom seemed to be enveloped in dark clouds and oppressed.

"The gold has been delivered! Why haven't the rebels retreated?!"

"The army on the Dagan border has not withdrawn at all."

"Several ships in the sea area are still parked at the port, guarding the exit day and night."

"Daqian is really despicable, even going back on his word!"

No matter how fierce the dignitaries of Mingmi Kingdom scolded them, they could not prevent the growing rebel army from rushing towards their capital, let alone prevent this group of peasants who had been oppressed for a long time from changing their destiny.

On the eighth day, it rained heavily in Mingmi Country.

The rebel army headed by Feng Nantu occupied the capital and the palace.

But their war is not over yet.

On the tenth day, the monarch of Mingmi Kingdom was found hanged on a tree in the wild, and his death looked more like a murder.

No. On the 12th day, the fugitive dignitaries of the Ming Mi Kingdom were successively killed by the rebel army who hated them. It was not until the last royal family of Ming Mi was forced to jump off the city wall that Ming Mi was completely declared dead. The new country' was born.

The war seemed to have come to an end, but Feng Nantu's mind was exceptionally sober.He had always known clearly in his heart how he, the new king, came to be. If the powerful Dagan wanted to crush them to death, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Even though Feng Nantu became the king, when he held peace talks with He Jiangyi, he still maintained a very humble attitude.

"General He, just ask what you want. The people of Nanxin Kingdom will always remember the kindness of the great monarch, and they will definitely bow their heads in the future."

This is what he meant by expressing his willingness to make Nanxin Kingdom a "vassal state" of Dagan.

When He Jiangyi heard this, he hesitated. He remembered the impoverished appearance of Nanxin Kingdom, and said solemnly: "This matter is very important. How can I, a little subject, make a decision without your majesty? I'd better wait until I go back and report to the emperor. I will give you an answer."

After he goes back, he must persuade His Majesty to think twice, it's really a bit embarrassing for the subordinate country to be in such a miserable situation!

It was also Feng Nantu's first time as a monarch, and he thought that there was such a complicated process for becoming a vassal state, so he listened more carefully.

It turns out that there is also a threshold for being a vassal state?

He thought it would be enough to just provide tribute every year.

"Of course, Dagan also has requirements for Nanxin Kingdom. The subjugated king slandered my innocence before, so you have to give an explanation."

"Don't worry, general, this matter must be clarified. If there were no senior officials who vaccinated my people against smallpox, the smallpox epidemic would definitely not end even today. The previous misunderstandings are all due to the malicious tampering by Ming Ya, the king of subjugation. The truth leads."

He Jiangyi nodded with satisfaction: "Also, Mingmi spent 100 million ingots of gold on the purchase of vaccines from Dagan before, and only cashed in 20 taels..."

If he dared to renege on this, He Jiangyi was going to turn his face straight away.

"Nanxinguo is indeed in some difficulties now, but we will definitely pay off the debt with interest. At the latest, we can pay back half of the gold before the end of the year." Feng Nantu added hesitantly, "General, since Last year, smallpox became prevalent, causing the farmland to be abandoned and famine everywhere, and our people have no food to satisfy their hunger...do you know if there is any surplus food in Dagan that you can sell to us?"

Hearing what Feng Nantu said, He Jiangyi's impression of this person has gradually improved a lot. Knowing that he cares about the life and death of the people, he can at least reach the passing line of an ordinary king.

"As long as Dagan is willing to help us in Nanxin Kingdom this time, the price of food can be negotiated, and the people of Nanxin Kingdom will definitely remember this kindness!"

Feng Nantu is a very simple person, without many complicated thoughts, and now he has become the lord of a country by surprise, and has no idea of ​​power to make money. He simply hopes that the survivors will not continue to starve.

"Let's discuss it with His Majesty after I go back...you will become a good monarch." He Jiangyi was cautious and did not dare to promise lightly, "Since Mingmi Kingdom is dead and He's mission is over, I will not continue Stayed in Nanxin Kingdom."

"Thank you."

Feng Nantu's gratitude came from the bottom of his heart. If Dagan didn't intervene, he really didn't know how many people Nanxin could die.

On the same day, He Jiangyi withdrew his troops.

Lianghu and Jingzhou retreated immediately.

Soon, the news of Mingya's subjugation also spread to Shangjing.

It's a pity that Ming Miguo has been tossing and tossing for too long this time. When these doctors from the new medical pavilion come back, they can't catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival.But Xu Youxi remembered to leave two boxes of mooncakes distributed by the court this year for each of them.

Xu Youxi sat in Shangjing and watched the treasury receive money, feeling extremely happy.

Tsk, I just don't know which temple of the God of Wealth has manifested its spirit, she will pay more respects in the future!
"Master Liu, you've worked hard this time." Xu Youxi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Liu Jiye's first thing after returning to Beijing was to find her.

"Your Majesty is serious. I am far inferior to the hard work of the doctors and soldiers guarding the frontiers of the New Medical Pavilion." Liu Jiye said sincerely, "I am going to write a newspaper about Ming Mi's experience, but I am still a little puzzled when I come here this time. , look..."

"If you want to ask, just ask."

With Xu Youxi's words, Liu Jiye immediately became rude, and said bluntly: "I heard that you sent a letter to the former Ming Mi Kingdom, and the letter promised that they would give gold before the seven-day deadline. Not only will you You retreated and helped them deal with the insurgents, but then you turned your back on it, is it true?"

Xu Youxi said confidently: "It's ridiculous, who can prove that it is a letter from me, have they seen my stamp?"

This, can you not admit it?

Liu Jiye was shocked by His Majesty's speech.

"Also... Mr. Liu must correct his words carefully, what does it mean to go back on his word? As the emperor, I have always said what I said!!!"

Xu Youxi's face was clearly dissatisfied: "Even if I wrote that letter, it would at best be called 'Soldiers never tire of cheating'! This is the wisdom passed down from our ancestors, how can Master Liu say that our ancestors taught me to 'return what I said'? ?”

Liu Jiye fell into deep thought.

This seems to be what he said, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

"This incident originated from Mingmi Kingdom's rebellion. They actually planned to renege on the gold owed to Daqian. I ordered General He Jiangyi to immediately block Mingmi from the sea. Unexpectedly, General He happened to meet the local rebel army. Daqian came out of benevolence and righteousness. Sincerely, I took the initiative to help these rebels."

Xu Youxi briefly explained the process, but automatically ignored the function of her letter.

At that time, the entire Ming Mi's forces were focused on the Yunnan border, and unless Xu Youxi's brain was broken, he would arrange for the border guards to confront them head-on.At this time, let He Jiangyi make a breakthrough from the sea area where the deployment of troops is the weakest, and the rebel army is approaching the capital again, then the emperor Ming Mi will definitely mess up his own position, and outsiders will think that the emperor Dagan is a king Without joking, they foolishly believed the contents of the letter.

It was this tossing back and forth that made Monarch Mingmi miss the best time to drop his troops back to the capital, and it also prompted the rebels to easily capture the capital, thus successfully changing the dynasty.

"Okay, what's the problem?"

"How does Your Majesty plan to deal with the relationship with Ming Mi Kingdom?"

"Correct you, Ming Mi has perished, and now it is Nanxin Kingdom. I have been exchanging letters with the monarch of Nanxin Kingdom recently. He is willing to use the mining rights of several mines in their country to trade grain with Dagan. I agree. For To show our sincerity in cooperation, I have reserved a few places for the Lord of Nanxin Kingdom to study in Beijing University."

Xu Youxi said a lot, and Liu Jiye listened very carefully.

"It's okay, just leave."

"Wei Chen retire."

After tossing back and forth for a long time, Liu Jiye left contentedly with the transcript.

"Zhou Yuxue, how is the farm in Guangzhou?" Xu Youxi leaned on the chair and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the cows and sheep were transported to the northern grasslands to be domesticated. After the pink pigs from Great Britain were bred with the black pigs from Dagan, more piglets were born than ever before. The new piglets are also born according to your wishes. Tell me, if you raise them bigger, I will send a few to each place to raise..."

As Zhou Hui was talking, he couldn't help but think of several adults who almost scolded each other recently for snatching the piglets, especially the governor of Shu and the governor of Jiangnan!

I think he, Zhou Yuxue, has seen countless times that the court’s hearts are complicated, and he has also experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom, but he never imagined that one day he will have the opportunity to witness two court officials quarreling over who can have the new piglet first It's too late.

Jiangnan just sent a message saying that the place to raise pigs has been selected, and the feed stock is enough for these piglets to retire to the end of life; the Sichuan side immediately refused to be outdone, saying that they even invited the veterinarian who will be in charge of delivering the piglets when they grow up. Well, even if a sow encounters dystocia, their veterinarian can guarantee the safety of the sow and calf.

Ugh.

In the previous officialdom, no means were compromised;

The current officialdom is full of surprises.

Xu Youxi is quite confident about the quality of the newly bred piglets. According to the current reproduction rate, perhaps by this time next year, the freedom of pork will be achieved by working hard!

"Did the British merchants come again afterward?"

"No."

"Has our own merchant ship been assembled?"

"It's done. When the steam merchant ship of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is finished, our people can go to sea at any time."

"it is good."

"By the way, how is the railway from Jiangnan to Guangdong going?"

"It will be almost finished next year."

"good."

Everything developed according to Xu Youxi's expected direction, very smoothly.

#
In mid-September, the 'students' from Nanxinguo to Dagan arrived.

However, what Xu Youxi didn't expect at all was that Feng Nantu, who is the king of the country, actually came to study in person!
Has Nanxin Kingdom reached a stage where it doesn't need a monarch to preside over the overall situation? ! !

Xu Youxi was inexplicably envious.

She also wants to go abroad to cheat money, no, to study abroad!
