Fifteen minutes later.
Zhu Xianfeng personally came to Geng Bingwen's army.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
After all, they were going to work under someone else, so the generals cupped their hands and greeted him tactfully.
"Generals, there's no need to be so polite. In the future, you must do your best to assist me!" Zhu Xianfeng said indifferently.”
Sheng Yong bowed." My fellow comrades have a presumptuous request. May I ask if Your Highness can agree?"”
"Preposterous request? Don't tell me you want this king to protect your families in Ying Tian?”
Zhu Xianfeng looked at the generals with a faint smile.
"Your Highness is indeed intelligent.”
Sheng Yong's eyes lit up as he hurriedly said.
"You don't have to worry. The mountain is high and the road is far. As long as I suppress your surrender, it won't reach Ying Tian. By the time this king attacks Ying Tian, it will be too late for Jianwen to settle the score.”
"But…it will take at least three to five years for His Highness to attack Ying Tian. In these three to five years, it's hard to guarantee that the news won't leak out?”
"Three to five years? This king will be able to attack Ying Tian City by the end of this year at most!”
"What?"
All the generals, including Geng Bingwen, were in disbelief.
The imperial court had at least four to five hundred thousand soldiers.
Qingzhou was at least a thousand miles away from Yingtian, and there were countless city passes and fortresses along the way.
There was also a long river to protect Huainan.
Attacking Ying Tian at the end of the year…this was almost impossible.
"I'm sure you've all seen this king's gunpowder weapon. If you use such a weapon to attack a city, how long do you think a city can last?”
Zhu Xianfeng asked with a faint smile when he saw the hesitation on the faces of the generals.
"If there are a large number of such weapons, I'm afraid we can take down a city in three days.”
Geng Bingwen thought for a moment and expressed his opinion.
"To be honest, this king can produce more than three thousand gunpowder weapons every day!”
"Your Highness, are you serious?"
Even though Geng Bingwen's expression remained the same, his heart was in turmoil.
As the vice-marshal of the imperial court's army.
He knew that the Hongwu Cannon of the imperial court only produced 300 cannon beads a year.
It was precisely because of the high cost of making these cannon beads that their production was slow.
Therefore, the imperial court did not bring the Hongwu Cannons with them to quell the rebellion in Qingzhou.
The gunpowder weapons that Zhu Xianfeng mentioned could be produced in 3,000 units a day.
What kind of concept was this?
They had completely crushed the imperial government in terms of equipment.
"Absolutely!"
Zhu Xianfeng nodded and replied with a solemn expression.
"Since Your Highness is so sincere, this old man will no longer be pretentious!”
Then, Geng Bingwen said to the generals,""His Highness the Regional King already has the qualifications to rule the world. Generals can safely surrender to him!”
"This subordinate will obey!"
The generals replied in unison.
After that, they returned to their respective divisions and began to prepare for the surrender.
At noon.
The 130,000 remaining Imperial Court troops had already gathered into a huge square formation.
Zhu Xianfeng immediately began the surrender ceremony.
The 130,000 troops were sent to Qingzhou.
At the same time.
He then announced the news of the annihilation of the imperial court's army.
From then on.
The battle at Balance Valley had come to an end.
Zhu Xianfeng's strength suddenly increased to nearly 300,000 soldiers.
……
"800 li is urgent. The imperial court's 200,000-strong army has been wiped out at the Great Stone Pass!”
A horse covered in yellow dust rushed into Yingtian's capital.
As the shadow of the horse galloped, the pedestrians hurriedly avoided it.
"The imperial court's 200,000-strong army was completely annihilated?”
"Heavens, how…how is this possible?”
"King Qi is so powerful. Will he attack the capital?”
"It seems that the sky of Da Ming…is going to change…"
"Watch your words…Watch your words…Don't let the Embroidered Uniform Guards hear you!”
As they watched the messenger leave, the people of the capital discussed in fear.
……
Imperial Palace, Fengtian Hall.
"Your Majesty, it has been two months since the Duke of Wei left for the expedition.”
In the hall, all the officials stood solemnly.
Fang Xiaoru was reporting to Zhu Yunwen about the recent cutting of the vassal state.
Zhu Yunwen asked,"I heard that Xu Qin, the son of the Duke of Wei, replied to the heavens half a month ago. Does he have any news about the front line?"!”
"Your Majesty, after Xu Qin returned from the front lines, he has been staying in his residence and has not gone out. I personally went to ask him, and he only replied that the traitor Zhu Xianfeng could be destroyed within a certain period of time!”
"It can be destroyed within a certain period of time. Good, good, good. If the chaos in Qingzhou is pacified, Zhen can be at ease.”
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Once the imperial court's army arrives, the traitors of Qingzhou will definitely not dare to cause any more trouble!”
"Hahaha, Grand Secretary Fang is really my loyal subject!”
Zhu Yunwen was very happy.
Just as he was about to reward Fang Xiaoru, an urgent shout suddenly came from outside the hall,"" 800 li urgent…Great Stone Pass military intelligence…"
"Your Majesty, the news of victory from the Great Stone Pass has arrived.”
Fang Xiaoru's old face immediately beamed with joy when he heard that.
A moment later.
A red-feathered messenger rushed into the hall and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, the traitor Zhu Xianfeng has set up a trap for you. In the battle at the Balance Valley of the Whole Cattle Mountain, our 200,000-strong army was completely wiped out!”
