Reclining in the easy chair, Wu Feng finally fell asleep to the sound of the piano. After several days of court meetings, he discussed with the courtiers every night until midnight or even all night long. Even the iron-clad Arhat could not withstand such torture. It was easy to get a trace of During the break, Wu Feng came to Charlotte Garden. He only had time to talk for a while, and then he fell asleep under the lull of Yao Lian's piano.
Charlotte looked at the haggard man in front of her lovingly. The handsome and energetic man in the past seemed to be much less, replaced by the fact that he was now preoccupied and had fewer opportunities to come to her. This was not because of the luck of other sisters, but I often discuss court affairs until late at night, so I have to stay in the study. When I come to my place, I just touch the water and leave. I have no chance to say a few more words of sincerity. Sitting here and falling asleep like today is an anomaly. .
"Sister, Your Majesty, is he asleep?" Yao Lian, who stopped playing the piano, stood up and came over sadly.
"Well, he is too tired. I heard that he has hardly slept in the past few days. He discusses and arranges arrangements with military and political officials every day. I heard that the Liberians in the north are going to attack the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty is a little worried. I'm worried, so I'm fully prepared to fight." Charlotte doesn't care much about politics, but she has heard about big things like this.
"Well, there have been a lot of discussions in the newspapers these days. They all say that if the empire can win this battle, the empire can maintain peace for hundreds of years. They are encouraging the people to donate money and join the army." Yao Lian responded to this. She is much more sensitive in this aspect. After all, her period of life as a secret spy made her subconsciously pay more attention to this aspect of news. News of the alliance between the Japanese and the Liberia Alliance was also revealed by the media, arousing unanimous anger across the empire. A new wave of anti-Japanese agitation arose in Yanyun, Donghai and Jiangnan. These three places restricted the movement of the Japanese. It has become more and more strict, and some counties have even begun to implement stay-at-home orders, prohibiting Japanese people from going out. She could only stay at home until the war was over, which made her quite emotional.
"Well, there is war all day long. Can't we live a quiet life for one day? I don't know what these men think. Is war everything in their lives? Conquering and killing are the most noble things in life for them. Is there any meaning?" Charlotte was also a little helpless, with a hint of loneliness in her beautiful eyes. "Your Majesty has become a lot haggard because of these wars, and his visits to our sisters have also become less frequent. Occasionally, he comes twice and is absent-minded, and the sisters are all There are some complaints.”
Wu Feng's slight snoring made Charlotte and Yao Lian talk without much scruple. As the man they relied on for life, he was also the emperor of the empire. This was an incomparable honor, but it also brought them many regrets. The days of being alone in a konggui are the most difficult, especially when there are no children around to relieve the loneliness. This kind of life is even more difficult. Women's youth does not last long, and they need more love and nourishment from men. However, the originally low requirements are even more difficult for them.
"It's hard for us women to grasp the psychology of men. Maybe for them, career is the most worthy thing for them to strive for in their lives. It should be content to be favored by a rare man like your majesty in ancient and modern times." Yao Lian was a little embarrassed. Ashamed. He politely comforted Charlotte, who was a little depressed. Wu Feng had teased her several times while listening to the piano, which made her happy and ashamed. Charlotte, who was quite sensible, also added fuel to the fire, but Wu Feng thought he was busy with official duties during this period. There was much less time to come here, which made Yao Lian quite disappointed. She finally waited for Dejun to come today, but it was like this again.
Charlotte chuckled and looked Yao Lian up and down intentionally. Seeing that Yao Lian was so flustered that she didn't even know where to put her hands, she smiled secretly and said: "Sister, let's help His Majesty in to rest. You can stay with him tonight and let him relax and relieve himself." To relieve the boredom these days."
"How can that be done?" Yao Lian was embarrassed, her face turned crimson all of a sudden, she stood up and pretended to leave, but Charlotte held her back, "Okay, okay, I'm talking too much, but Let's help His Majesty into the room to rest first, it's a bit cold outside, and His Majesty is more likely to catch a cold when he's sleepy."
After Charlotte pestered her, Yao Lian reluctantly and Charlotte helped the chaotic Wu Feng into the room to rest. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the room, Charlotte would not allow Yao Lian to leave again. Wu Feng fell into a deep sleep, and Charlotte insisted that Yao Lian sleep with him. This made Yao Lian feel both shy and happy. After some entanglement, Yao Lian half-nudging and half-complied, undressed and went to bed together.
It was already midnight when Wu Feng woke up. Having rested for most of the night made him feel much better. Arranging and deploying locations for several days in a row really made him exhausted. He had been working hard in his heart. It wasn't until today that he had roughly arranged everything. You can also take a good rest.
The government and military have unified their opinions, and all military departments have begun to gather to the north. Two ranger regiments from Luo Bei are already entering East Tengger County, and the remaining six ranger regiments are preparing to enter the border lines of Kaman and Poole. area, prepare to launch a preemptive sweep offensive. This is the opinion reached by the Privy Council after some discussions. Rather than passively waiting for the Liberian countries to invade the south, it is better to use the advantage of the Empire's rangers to sweep through the economically developed southern areas of the Liberian countries first and disrupt Liberia. The deployment of people prevented them from launching an attack on the empire as planned.
At the same time, two new legions were quickly formed. Sha Lang and Qu Bo threw themselves into the intense formation process as soon as they received the order. Sufficient soldiers and material support allowed both of them to implement the formation plan according to their own intentions, and the emperor The Military Academy and Northwest Military Academy also gave priority to the two newly formed corps and provided a large number of graduates to the grassroots level. In particular, a group of officers selected from serving officers to enter the military academy for short-term training acted as the main force. This allowed The commanders of their original troops complained endlessly, but Shalang and Qu Bo were also overjoyed.
The Baiin people in the north have also officially received imperial honors. The empire has made a clear commitment that after the empire pacifies the Liberian countries, a certain reservation will be set aside on the Liberian plain to establish the Baiin under the central empire. The autonomous dominions exercise a high degree of autonomy under the central rule of the empire. Their autonomous powers are much higher than those of the autonomous dominions established in the south. Except for diplomatic and defense powers, all other powers belong to the autonomous governments established by the Baiyin ethnic groups. .
As soon as this plan was introduced, the empire immediately won the enthusiastic support of all the Bein people. For a time, the Bein people began to doubt the empire's use of them, but now it seems that the empire is still their best choice. Especially after Wu Feng stamped it with the Imperial Jade Seal to confirm its formality and legality, the Boyin clan became even more desperate. Being able to obtain a piece of plain land that can support the breeding and reproduction of the Boyin family has always been the extravagant dream of the Boyin family. But now that hope is right in front of them, how can they not be moved by it
Of course they also knew that the empire needed their support now, but no matter from any angle, they could not refuse this temptation. The Liberians had an old feud with them, and the Tang people showed strength and kindness, not to mention the importance of the Liberia Plain to the Tang Dynasty. It is nothing at all, they only need a part of it, and for the Liberians, the Liberia Plain is sacrosanct, so it is self-evident how to fight this battle. .
After receiving a formal commitment from the empire with the royal seal, the Bai'in tribes began to mobilize the whole clan. The entire northern border area of the Liberian Kingdom became the military camp of the Bai'in tribe. All tribes agreed to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty to defeat the enemy. The Boya countries later determined the structure of their autonomous government based on their achievements in combat, and began to unify under the leadership of the Duoer tribe. Various military supplies from the Tang Dynasty also began to be continuously imported from the East Tengger Grassland. The young and strong men of each tribe put on their weapons and armor and went through intense training.
In fact, after taking control of the Mazagrad Fortress, Bai's various ministries began to follow Tang-style standards to reform the military system. For example, the Sykes tribe established three infantry divisions, one of which was a standing division, while the other two were As reserve divisions, the Duoer tribe also formed a standing army of two infantry divisions and a reserve force of six divisions, and conducted regular training and emergency drills in accordance with the standards of the Tang Army, which also greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Boyin tribe. .
Currently facing a war, all tribes of the Bai'in tribe are fully mobilized. In addition, military supplies from the Tang Dynasty are pouring into the territories of the Bai'in tribes. More than 300,000 Bai'in troops have also begun to gather in the north of the Liberia Plain. This has brought great consequences to the Liberia people. great pressure and distress.
In addition to making full military preparations, the Imperial Administration, on the initiative of the Senate and the Citizens' Council, also announced the issuance of Imperial Peace Bonds. The funds raised will be used to enhance the strength of the Imperial Army and respond to external aggression that may endanger the peace of the Empire. Although the interest rate is low, it has won the full support of the people of the empire and the public. The war bonds worth one billion gold coins were sold out in less than ten days. Especially the sales outside the empire were unusually good. This is also It added to the empire's confidence.
Once the huge imperial institutions were put into operation, they immediately produced huge effectiveness. The news media also published articles one after another pointing out that the Liberian Military Alliance was aimed directly at the empire, with the purpose of carving up the northern territories of the empire and arousing the people's sense of crisis. The Japanese joined Liberia. The Liberian Military Alliance is even more ambitious. After occupying the imperial treasure island, Kamchatka Island and the Ryukyu Islands, they also ambitiously attempted to participate in the Liberian military invasion plan. This blatant provocation made it even more It aroused the anger of the people of the empire.
