Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 794 Mercenaries

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor."

After sitting and waiting in the imperial study for a while, a red-haired middle-aged man walked in.

The red-haired middle-aged man is wearing a black military uniform. This is a mercenary uniform. He is Luther.

Seeing Luther, Liang Kai suddenly smiled.

Now, he has no confidence in the generals of Wu State and only believes in these generals from the Western Land.

They believed that only if they could command the Wu army, they could fight against the King of Yan.

"General Luther, you must help me. King Yan's army has probably taken Yizhou now. They are going south. The safety of Wu will be in the hands of the general." Liang Kai pleaded. color.

In the past three months, in order to deal with King Yan, the Wu Kingdom gathered a million troops for today.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, there is no need to be so worried. There is a saying in your praise that when water comes, the earth will cover you, and when soldiers come to stop you, as long as your Majesty is determined to fight to the death, I will definitely make King Yan's head bruised and bloody in the south of the Yangtze River." Luther bent down slightly.

He came to Wu State partly because of Wu State's high employment wages.

On the other hand, he was entrusted by Governor Bolt to fight for the interests of Britain.

In addition to the British, the mercenaries under his command are all Tianzhu people.

The equipment is also the same muskets and artillery used by the British army today.

According to Governor Bolt's instructions, he will try every means to plunge the King of Yan into the quagmire of war at all costs, drag down the King of Yan in the quagmire, buy time for Britain, make corresponding arrangements, and finally get rid of this King. King of Yan.

After arriving in Lincheng, Liang Kai attached great importance to Governor Bolt and made him take charge of the entire mercenary army.

At the same time, although he is not the top general of the Wu army, his opinions are also very important to the Wu army.

"Having said that, does the general have a way to deal with it? I am now worried that King Yan will launch an attack on the coastal cities just like he did in Japan. In this way, our country of Wu will suffer heavy losses." Liang Kaidao.

Luther frowned when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, Jiangnan has a vast territory. We must not focus on the gains and losses of a certain city. Otherwise, it will be tantamount to being deceived by the King of Yan. I think we should voluntarily abandon the coastal cities and will The wealth was transferred, and at the same time, the walls were fortified and the country was cleared, leaving no grain for King Yan's army. In this way, they would not be able to go too deep due to lack of food and grass. "

He had only one purpose, which was to hold back King Yan.

Therefore, he didn't care at all how much harm this method would cause to Wu State and how many people would be displaced.

Moreover, from the perspective of war, he believed that his method was correct.

Liang Kai immediately frowned.

Including Lincheng, it is also a city near the sea. If he does this, he, the emperor, will have to withdraw from Lincheng.

Therefore, he was naturally a little reluctant.

The Liang family has been running this Lincheng for more than two hundred years, and its prosperity is no less than that of Jinling.

After leaving, go somewhere to find such a capital.

But he thought about it carefully and felt that Luther's words were very reasonable.

The embarrassment of the Jiangbei clan is still vivid in my mind.

This King of Yan is very cunning. Every time he conquers a place, he will take root there and feed on the enemy.

In this way, once the Yan King's army occupied the coast, the coast would probably become the Yan King's territory.

If such a long coastline became his territory, King Yan, it would be better to destroy it directly.

Luther saw that Liang Kai was still hesitant, so he said: "Your Majesty, as the emperor, you cannot have a trace of mercy. We have a country in the west called Ruosi. It was once at a disadvantage in the war like the Wu State, but Rus is The monarch of the country was very bold. He abandoned the land near the border, built strong walls and cleared the wilderness, luring the enemy deep, and finally defeated the enemy with layers of resistance and severe cold. "

After a pause, he continued: "Although the Kingdom of Wu is not in the north, your south has the advantages of the south. King Yan's soldiers are all from the north, and they must not be used to the heat in the south. Moreover, your south is mountainous. Take advantage of the mountains and forests and Yan's If the king's army goes to war, it will cause them a lot of trouble."

"Oh, is there another example like this?" Liang Kai suddenly gained confidence, "General Luther, you must tell me this story in detail."

"Of course there is no problem, but now, Your Majesty should make a decisive decision. King Yan's navy has arrived in Yizhou, and the army has sent troops to Jiujiang North. The war is about to break out." Luther reminded Xia Liang Kai.

Liang Kai was silent for a while. This decisive battle with King Yan was a battle of life and death. He could no longer worry about anything.

Otherwise, if Jiangnan is lost, he will have nothing, and even his life will be lost.

In this case, he will win even if Jiangnan turns into ruins.

"I will now order the capital to be moved to Changcheng, Jiangzhou, and then order the officials to fortify the walls and clear the country, and move the coastal people inland." Liang Kaidao.

The south of the Yangtze River was prosperous, and the warehouses of various states and counties piled up mountains of grain and grass, enough to move the people.

It is much better to waste this food and grass with others than to have this food and grass fall into the hands of King Yan.

After deciding on this matter, Liang Kai felt relaxed all over.

Luther nodded slightly, satisfied in his heart, and said secretly: "Governor Bolt, Your Majesty the Queen, I will not disgrace my mission."
