"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1002
? As the sun sets, the majestic and massive palaces in the royal capital seem to be coated with a layer of golden light, shining brightly,
The strong and sharp palace guards stood like sculptures on the cold steps, and there was a dull and oppressive atmosphere in the air.
The majestic palace has been in existence for more than 400 years, and it has been constantly renovated and repaired, but it is still difficult to conceal the old appearance of the interior.
Just like the Far Eastern dynasty, the new emperor is trying his best to restore the glory of his ancestors, but the dynasty is precarious and may collapse at any time.
? Outside the slightly gloomy Qinzheng Hall, the left prime minister Yan Jing and the right prime minister Liu Zhao are stepping up the steps full of thoughts.
These two important ministers who hold great power in the Far Eastern Dynasty also know the difficulties that the Far Eastern Dynasty is facing now, which makes them a little bit haggard.
"You two prime ministers, His Majesty is already waiting for you inside."
Seeing the arrival of the left prime minister Yan Jing and the right prime minister Liu Zhao, an internal official standing at the gate of Qinzheng Hall nodded slightly and made a please.
Yan Jing and Liu Zhao stepped over the threshold of Qinzheng Hall and entered the hall. The doors and windows around the hall were closed tightly, and the light seemed a little dim.
The young emperor Long Jun was dozing off on the dragon chair made of real gold, his young face was full of exhaustion.
Mr. Long thought that he would be the most powerful person in the world when he sat on the Ninth Five-Year High.
But when he really became the emperor, he realized that he felt so powerless in the face of a dynasty that was riddled with holes.
"My minister Yan Jing (Liu Zhao) pays his respects to His Majesty."
Yan Jing and Liu Zhao stopped when they were more than 20 steps away from the high throne, and knelt down to salute one after another.
"The two mistresses are here, please get up."
Yan Jing and their voices woke up the dozing Emperor Longjun.
"Give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Soon, two internal officials brought two chairs from the darkness and placed them behind Yan Jing and the others.
"I just got an urgent report from the Hexi Front for eight hundred miles."
Long Jun picked up a memorial from the desk and asked the internal officials to pass it on to Yan Jing and the others.
"Liu Yan failed me. Instead of rescuing King Ning, he lost the battle and lost the army." Long Jun said sullenly.
At the beginning, Lord Long sent Liu Yan to command the 100,000 imperial guards into Luyang Province, in order to repel the Qinghe Army and regain control of Luyang Province.
But Liu Yan, the general who conquered the East, was too disappointing. Not only did he fail to complete the task, but he also lost troops and lost generals. He was frightened by the Qinghe Army and fled all the way back to Hexi Province.
Facing the riddled Far Eastern dynasty, Lord Long was also exhausted. Unfortunately, the people under him were not able to live up to expectations, which made him quite helpless.
"Now that the army of bandits is overwhelming, the two love ministers tell me, how should we deal with it?" Long Jun cast his eyes on the two dignified prime ministers.
"Your Majesty, the bandit army has just captured the Luyang Province. It is the time when the troops are in full swing. They are likely to invade the Hexi Province and threaten the capital." Yan Jing analyzed.
"We should quickly summon all kinds of troops to reinforce the Hexi Province, and we must keep the bandits out of the Hexi Province, otherwise, once the Hexi Province falls, the consequences will be disastrous."
After hearing Yan Jing's words, a bitter smile appeared on Long Jun's face.
"Yan Aiqing, do we still have any soldiers we can deploy?"
"Forehead."
Years of wars and conquests have rapidly consumed the savings of the Far Eastern Dynasty. They used to be short of money and food, but now they are also extremely short of soldiers.
Especially in their fierce battles with the rebels, there were hundreds of thousands of large-scale battles at every turn, and every fierce battle would cause countless soldiers to shed blood on the battlefield.
At the beginning, the imperial court only recruited men over the age of twenty-five and under the age of fifty to join the army.
However, the war is protracted and difficult to end, and the brutal battles on the front line are constantly consuming troops.
? Even though the Far Eastern Dynasty has a vast territory and rich resources, in rounds of recruitment, even children aged fifteen or sixteen have been recruited into the army.
Most of the people left in the provinces and counties are old and weak women and children. Their abilities are limited, and many crops have been abandoned, which has increased the burden on the court and caused a vicious circle.
When Liu Yan led the 100,000 imperial guards to the Luyang province, the 100,000 imperial guards were all pieced together.
Now the front line is urgent,Jing Jing, Prime Minister Zuo, also suddenly discovered that they had no more soldiers to use.
"Your Majesty, we still have millions of troops on the front line in Daning Province, Hezhong Province and Pingyang Province." Prime Minister Liu Zhao said.
"As long as 300,000, no, 200,000 troops are brought back from the front line, together with General Liu Yan's troops, it will be enough to keep the rebels out of Hexi Province."
King Long started his career by relying on the Imperial Guards. After he inherited the throne, he also wantonly expanded the Imperial Guards.
Now the court's Marshal Hu Ziyang led millions of imperial guards to fight the rebels on the front line.
"Now that the rebel army is on the verge of collapse, we only need to work harder to completely defeat the rebel army. At this time, we must not draw troops from the front line."
"Once the rebels are given a chance to breathe, there will be endless troubles."
Facing the suggestion put forward by Prime Minister You Liu Zhao, Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing immediately refuted it.
The rebels they fought with great difficulty are retreating steadily. At this time, they should completely defeat the rebels in one go.
Once the front-line troops are drawn back, once the rebels regain their vitality, they will need countless energy to recover their losses.
"But if you don't send troops back from the front line, once the bandits invade Hexi Province, the capital will be in danger." Liu Zhao also had a sad face.
"Can you recruit young men to form an army?" Long Jun asked.
"Your Majesty, this year alone we have recruited two rounds of young adults. Now, except for the old and weak who can't hold weapons, even children in their teens have joined the army."
"And we have run out of money and food, and many troops on the front line can only rely on fighting to get supplies."
The war severely damaged the vitality of the imperial court. The Emperor Long, who was living a life of luxury, naturally did not know the sufferings of the people. He did not expect that the situation had become so bad.
"Should we just watch the bandit army invade the Hexi province and reach the capital?" Long Jun asked loudly while looking at the two prime ministers.
Lord Long is extremely regretful now. If he had known earlier, he would not have gone to Luyang Province to stir up trouble. As a result, they are now facing the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.
"Your Majesty calm down."
Hearing the anger in Long Jun's words, the two prime ministers also knelt down in fright.
"Calm down your anger, you are the left and right prime ministers, and you share my worries for me. You must think of a perfect plan today." Long Jun said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not." Yan Jing raised his head and glanced at Lord Long, and then said slowly.
"speak."
"Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of wolf cavalry led by Youxian King of the Grassland are within the territory of Baishan Province. We can borrow troops from them."
