Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 277: Aftermath of the War

After the war, Su Yuan left Wenlai Island and returned to Jinghai.

A few days later, Qi Jiguang and others also came back and reported the battle situation to him.In fact, Su Yuan knew it himself. He was very clear in the article at that time, and he knew how the coalition army suffered a disastrous defeat.

Now about half of the coalition's thousand warships have been sunk, and the remaining half are parked in the military port built by the Dongwa Islands.

As for the captive soldiers on the ship, most of them were also detained in Dongwa, and they were not brought to Jinghai.

Only some high-ranking generals were transported to Jinghai, such as Marshal Akashido, who was in charge of commanding the coalition forces, and they are now being held in Jinghai's prison.

The results of the war were first spread in Dong'an Jinghai, and then spread to all parts of the country through the residence newspaper.

People are very happy, this is undoubtedly a congratulatory gift for the coming New Year.

Even some foreigners living in Dong'an are very satisfied with this result.

For example, Jerry from the Saxon Kingdom has been paying attention to the progress of the war. After learning that the coalition forces were defeated, he immediately set up a banquet at home to invite his friends to celebrate.

He must be one of the happiest people, the defeat of the coalition forces, all the countries in it will be hurt, and the Saxon country, which is out of it, will skyrocket.

Maybe the Saxon country can seize this opportunity to surpass Xifeng country in one fell swoop and become the most powerful western country.

At that time, his status as Jerry will also rise, which will be different.

In the past few days, Akaxido has been applying, wanting to meet Dong'an officials for negotiations.He said that his status is very honorable and he should not be treated like this.

This is indeed the case in overseas western countries. Wars broke out in some countries and enemy generals were captured.

But this is not because of any "brilliance of human nature", it is simply that many overseas and western royal families have intermarriages, resulting in many high-ranking people being related to each other.

It is not uncommon for the general of this country to have a relationship with the general of the enemy country.Therefore, whoever wins or loses between each other will not embarrass the other party's senior generals.

After all, no one can guarantee that they can keep winning. If one day their country loses and they are arrested, they definitely want to be treated well.

Akaxido got used to this kind of war logic, so much so that he wanted to be treated in line with his identity after he was imprisoned in Dong'an Prison.

However, this matter did not even reach Su Yuan's ears, nor was it notified to any officials, and the jailers themselves ignored it.

This is the rule set by Su Yuan before, no matter who it is, as long as it enters the prison, it is a prisoner without any privileges.

Not to mention a mere general, one day he will get the president of Xifeng Kingdom in, and he will be treated the same way.

Soon, the news of the defeat of the coalition forces not only spread in the countries near the East China Sea, but also quickly spread back to the western countries overseas.

……

"Quick, print to death!"

In a newspaper office in the Saxon country, the boss is urging the employees who print the newspaper.

The amount of newspapers they have to print today will be several times, or even dozens of times, that of previous days.

There is only one reason, that is, people will be crazy about today's news!

"damn it……"

The owner of the newspaper office was smoking a pipe, his hands trembling slightly.

"The Allied Forces of the Thirteen Nations were defeated, the Marshal of the Allied Forces was captured, and there were thousands of soldiers... After paying such a high price, the territory of Dong'an was not even touched..."

Even if he is not a political figure, the boss knows what this result means.

Although he is a Saxon, there is no war between Saxon and Dong'an.But the Saxon country is also an overseas western country... In any case, compared to Dong'an, they are still more closely related to countries of the same race as Xifeng country!
If this eastern empire is so powerful, wouldn't all overseas and western countries have to rely on it to live on it?This is not a good thing...

"I guess there must be scolding everywhere on the street today, hmph, that's fine, the harder you scold, the more money I make!"

Newspaper owners know that the angrier the people, the more newspapers they buy.

He just needs to make money now, and he doesn't care how the international situation will develop in the future.

Soon, a large number of newspapers were printed, and hundreds of newsboys hired in advance were already ready, and they went out to sell them immediately after receiving them.

Not only his family, but newspaper offices all over the country were extremely busy today, and there was even a shortage of newsboys, and several newspaper offices raised prices to snatch newsboys.

Afterwards, the streets and alleys were filled with shouts from newsboys.

"Express! The Allied Forces of Thirteen Nations were defeated in the South China Sea! Marshal Akaxido was captured!"

"What?! Give me a copy!"

Hearing what the newspaper boy yelled, many people turned pale with fright, and hurriedly took out coins from their pockets to buy a newspaper to check.

Anyone who is even slightly interested in politics will spend money to buy newspapers to read.Even in a noisy tavern, people calm down and read the shocking facts in the newspaper.

The Allied Forces of Thirteen Nations were defeated!
Thousands of warships either sank or were taken away by the Dong'an Navy.

Thousands of sailors died at sea.

Marshal Akaxido was captured alive and is currently being held in Dong'an Prison!

These news were enough to attract everyone's attention, and the people in the tavern exclaimed from time to time.

Many people were not interested in drinking anymore after reading it, and left cursing.Many others looked worried, muttering words such as "this is not good news".

In just one morning, the newspapers of major newspaper offices were sold out and had to be reprinted.This is only in the Saxon country. In the countries of the alliance, as soon as the news of the defeat spread, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

In the United Kingdom, tens of thousands of people held war bonds in their hands and shouted and demonstrated in front of the parliament building and the presidential palace.

"What should we do now! Who will tell!"

"Saved up for decades to buy these bonds, and now they are worthless! Who will pay me for the loss!"

"Bastard congressmen! Get out of here!"

"Step down! Compensate! Step down! Compensate!"

The voices of the people broke the sky, and many people cried bitterly. The defeat caused the bonds in their hands to lose their value overnight.This is equivalent to exchanging real money for a pile of waste paper.

Many people's family savings have been wiped out, and it is certainly impossible to let it go at this time.

There are those who didn’t buy bonds, and watched the parade through the window at home, feeling terrified.I even secretly rejoiced in my heart, I don't care about other people's losses, as long as I don't suffer losses.

The bankers responsible for issuing bonds at the behest of the government are holding an emergency meeting at the moment.

"Bonds are never guaranteed! Since they choose to buy, they should take the risk!"

"A group of stupid mobs! They just want to take advantage, and they will make trouble when they lose money!"

"Military police must be dispatched to suppress them!"

"Let's apply to the president together. Don't forget, the formulation of bonds is guided by the president's office!"
