The next day, early morning.
Early in the morning, Wang Qi had already led Xiao Qingzhi's army to prepare to go north. As for all the soldiers of the Haixi Empire, they are still detained in Yan Chixing's army for the time being. Next, the arrangements for the captive soldiers of the Hercynian Empire will be left to Zhuge Feng's staff department to coordinate arrangements, coordinate various ministries and war zones, and escort the prisoners to various places.
When Wang Qi was about to leave, a soldier entered and reported: "Your Majesty, Robert wants to see you."
Wang Qi said: "Bring it in."
The soldiers went to deliver the order, and after a while, Robert was brought over.
After seeing Wang Qi, he quickly saluted and said: "Your Majesty, now that the war in Yangzhou is over, I have no arrangements here. Can I go with His Majesty the Emperor on his journey?"
He doesn't want to stay.
If you stay here in Yangzhou, you will be targeted everywhere. It is most suitable to stay with Wang Qi.
It¡¯s just that Robert is a little unsure about his positioning. After all, his role is not big. For example, in the attack on Philip, he did not participate in the battle from beginning to end, and was not used at all.
Wang Qi pondered for a moment and then ordered: "You continue to stay in Yangzhou and assist Yan Chixing in managing all the prisoners of the Haixi Empire. As for the Haixi Empire, Williams has returned to deliver a message."
¡°Next step, the army of the Hercynian Empire will attack again. The next time we start a war, it will not only be as simple as defeating the opponent, but also to fight directly to the Hercynian Empire. Naturally, you will be useful.¡±
"You stay here at Yan Chixing and work hard. I hope that while you are here in the Haixi Empire, you can gradually gather a group of Haixi Empire soldiers who can serve Qi."
Wang Qidao: "If you can do this, I will reward you generously in the future."
When Robert heard this, he immediately understood that Wang Qi would not take him away, but he also gave him a promise, so Robert solemnly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will go all out and gather more willing people." A person who serves His Majesty the Emperor."
Wang Qidao: "I'll wait and see."
Robert turned around and retreated.
Wang Qi also asked Yan Chixing to manage the soldiers of the Haixi Empire well. Especially Robert, who has surrendered to Qi State, is a chess piece of Qi State. He must continue to keep an eye on it and not relax.
Yan Chixing responded one by one.
After Wang Qi made the arrangements, he took the army and set off northward to Youzhou in the north. Going north from Yangzhou to Youzhou, you have to cross Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou before arriving in Youzhou.
Especially Yuyang County is located in the north of Youzhou.
This road is very far.
When Wang Qi led his army to the north, Uesugi Hoshihide and his party, who went to sea first, returned to Japan in the shortest time because the wind direction was suitable and the journey was smooth.
After landing at the ferry, the Japanese army hurried all the way back to the imperial capital of Japan.
As soon as Akabane Tsusaki returned, he directly issued an order to mobilize troops to surround the arsenal left by Philip, seize the equipment, and then take control of these arsenals.
With everything arranged properly, Tsuna Akabane and Hoshihide Uesugi entered the palace directly.
Today¡¯s Emperor Shotoku is even older.
He has experienced too many things in his life. First, he spent his whole life as a puppet and was suppressed by Abe Kiyomasa. Later, with the help of Qi State, he destroyed Abe Kiyomasa's shogunate power and reorganized the place.
It¡¯s a pity that the good times did not last long. In the short time he took charge, the army of the Haixi Empire came and defeated the Japanese country¡¯s self-confidence and took control of the Japanese country¡¯s lifeline. Now the Haixi Empire is coercing all the Japanese troops to attack Qi.
This is where Emperor Shotoku was helpless.
The Japanese country is so miserable.
Emperor Shotoku rubbed his tired cheeks and asked slowly: "How was your trip? Can you tell me?"
Uesugi Hoshihide said: "Father, we suffered heavy losses on this trip. After this battle, we returned to Qi State, and Qi State will also station troops in our Japanese country. The general situation is like this"
Uesugi Hoshihide began to explain the situation, from leaving Japan to landing at the Haixi Ferry, and then to Japan where countless people died tragically. In the end, Uesugi Hoshihide secretly sent Kawada Ryumitsu to contact Wang Qi, and made a treaty to ambush the Haixi Empire together, and finally Defeated the Hercynian Empire, killed Philip, and finally withdrew the army.
After hearing this, Emperor Shotoku frowned and said: "You killed Philip in the end, which means that our Japanese country has shouldered all the blame. If the Hercynian Empire wants to send troops, it must first attack our Japanese country."?. The next battle with the Hercynian Empire will be very unfavorable to us. Because we are worried about the Hercynian Empire's attack, we can only allow Qi's army to garrison in the future, but we cannot deal with Qi's garrison. "
Akabane Tsuna said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about this. This is Wang Qi's plan."
Emperor Shotoku sighed: "After all, we are still weak."
Akabane Tsuna said: "Your Majesty, weakness is a sin. The only thing we can do now is to develop ourselves. I have arranged people to seize the arsenal arranged by the Hercynian Empire in our country. Next, we will quickly manufacture weapons so that we can The Japanese soldiers were all equipped with rifles and cannons."
"As long as weapons are reformed and the army is trained again, everything will develop in the end. As long as we are not weaker than Qi in terms of weapons, we are not afraid even if Qi has a great master."
"In the past, because there were no weapons such as rifles and cannons, once the great master of Qi came, we had no ability to resist, and we would definitely be defeated."
"On the contrary, now, because of the rifles and cannons, the situation has reversed, and it is different. When the Grand Master comes, he cannot stop the rifles and cannons, so we can hold on and think in another direction. This is actually an opportunity."
"At least our current situation will not be worse than in the past. As for Qi's garrison, for the time being, it has an advantage. It can at least help us resist the attack of the Hercynian Empire."
Emperor Shotoku said: "This is the truth."
Akabane Tsusaki continued: "What we have to do now is to accumulate strength. When the power of Qi State defeats the next invasion of the Hercynian Empire's army, we can prepare a counterattack and destroy Wang Qi's troops stationed in our Japanese country. troops."
"Then, we will deploy troops at each ferry to defend ourselves. As long as we go all out and use the power of artillery and rifles, there will be no problem in self-protection. This is my next plan."
Emperor Shotoku praised: "Yes, yes, your analysis is very good. Akabane-kun, please arrange it well."
"yes!"
Akabane Tsusaki replied solemnly.
Emperor Shotoku looked at Uesugi Hoshihide and said in a deep voice: "Prince, have you gained anything from this trip to Qi?"
Uesugi Hoshihide said: "Father, my eyes have really opened my eyes. On the one hand, I have seen the power of Qi; on the other hand, I have also seen the power of Wang Qi, who is ruthless, cunning and extremely powerful."
"Thirdly, because I have seen the prosperity of Qi State, my son wants to revitalize the country. I don't expect to reach the level of Qi State in my lifetime. I only hope that in my lifetime, our Japanese country can go out, win more territories, and become a more powerful country. A strong country.¡±
Uesugi Hoshihide said: "I hope that Japan will no longer suffer from oppression."
Emperor Shotoku said: "It's great that you have this realization. Next, you will be responsible for contacting the generals stationed in Qi. This is a training for you. It is better to suffer losses early than to suffer losses late." If you suffer a loss at this time, you can make up for it. When you become the Empress of Heaven, if you suffer a loss again, it will harm the interests of the country."
Uesugi Hoshihide said: "I understand."
Emperor Shotoku was a little tired. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's go down. You all can handle the government affairs of the court. There is no need to ask for instructions."
"yes!"
Uesugi Hoshihide and Akabane Tsusaki answered in unison.
After the two bowed and bowed, they turned and walked out of the hall.
The weather in late May was already quite hot in Japan. The blazing light shone down and hit people's bodies, making them feel quite hot.
Uesugi Hoshihide blocked the light in front of his eyes and suddenly said: "Teacher, I found that my father is too old."
Akabane Tsusame said: "Since the eradication of Abe Kiyomasa, His Majesty the Emperor has aged rapidly. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor is currently holding on to his tired and sick body with just one breath. He wants to create a better life for His Highness the Crown Prince. A good environment. Therefore, His Royal Highness must work hard and never let down the Emperor¡¯s painstaking efforts.¡±
Uesugi Hoshihide nodded solemnly, his mood was a little heavy, but more of a fighting spirit.
He will definitely work hard.
It will definitely change the situation of Japan.
He will repay the humiliation that Japan suffered in the Haixi Empire and the humiliation that Japan suffered in Qi. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
