Chapter 414: Facing the challenge head on, Shen Xiangwan's courage
"Wanwan, the Binzhou Army will be on the march soon. When you contact Chengyi, ask him how we should respond."
This is also the reason why he told her. This matter is too big and Wei Chengyi must make the decision.
"No need to ask him. Contact Jun Ling and announce to the public that the dog emperor killed Grandpa and his family. We will say that we have solid evidence and spread the news about what he did to the Wei family. Next, announce to the public that our Wei family will avenge the death of Grandpa Wang and his three generations of grandchildren and overthrow the rule of the Li royal family. Finally, spread the news that the people of Chenzhou have not only not suffered any disasters in the past two years, but their lives have been getting better and better, and they have no worries about food and clothing. This will build momentum for our Wei family's future rule."
Since the dog emperor couldn't wait to set up the stage, she would accompany him to the end. After two whole years, they have already grown strong and there is no need to be afraid of so many things. As for the upcoming 300,000 troops led by Wanqi Shan, their 400,000 troops are not vegetarians either. Moreover, they have the advantage in equipment. It is still unknown who will suppress whom!
"Sure?"
Unexpectedly, she was so courageous. Yan Lang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows to confirm again. In fact, he knew better than anyone that they only had one choice, which was to face the challenge head-on!
"I never joke about this kind of thing. Do it as soon as possible. Also, help me find General Peng and the others."
Even if the dog emperor didn't make such a fuss, they would have rebelled after dealing with the Western Hu people. It's just a little earlier now. It doesn't matter much. They already have enough foundation.
"Okay, it's up to you."
No one knew better than them how important Shen Xiangwan was in Wei Chengyi's heart. Her opinion was also Wei Chengyi's opinion. Yan Lang no longer hesitated, stood up and left the conference room.
Sitting in the main seat, Shen Xiangwan leaned back in his chair and rubbed the cartilage of his nose bridge after a long time.
"Ma'am, what do you want to talk to us about?"
Not long after, General Peng and General Chen came in from outside. They clasped their fists and bowed, showing their absolute respect. Shen Xiangwan had already proved time and again with practical actions that she was not an ordinary woman, and her ability was not inferior to any man, including their prince!
"Well, please take a seat, generals."
After sitting up straight, Shen Xiangwan asked them to sit down and briefly recounted what happened before: "In order to avoid chaos in the army when the news spreads, we must take the initiative. Two generals, please tell the soldiers all about how the dog emperor harmed the Wei family, and tell them that we had no intention of rebelling, but when we were fighting bravely in the front and stopping the iron cavalry of the Western Hu people from trampling on the country and the people, the dog emperor still bit us and forced us to rebel. Let the soldiers choose whether they are willing to overthrow the dog emperor with us, fight from Chenzhou to the imperial city, and fight for the wealth of the founding heroes, or leave the barracks. Anyone who chooses to leave will be given an extra three months' salary as our compensation."
In fact, Shen Xiangwan's move was a bit redundant. Everyone knew that the Wei family army only recognized Wei Chengyi and didn't care who the emperor was. She was just preparing for a rainy day. The more times like this, the more chaos there should be in the army. As for the people of Chenzhou, as long as they were not fools, they would know who was really good to them. Xie Yanzhi was in charge of this, and he knew what to do.
"I obey your command!" The two generals stood up again, their faces more serious than ever. They came from the East Border to the West Border just to follow Wei Chengyi and avenge the three men, Old Wang and Grandpa Sun, who died unjustly. This day is finally coming!
"I am in poor health, so I will have to trouble you two generals with these matters."
The fact that she was pregnant was basically known to the entire army, and there was no need to cover it up anymore.
"Madam, you are too polite. These are what I should do. If there is nothing else, we will go back first."
"Ah."
After getting her nod of agreement, the two generals turned around one after another, and Shen Xiangwan also stood up from her chair. She was going to find Mu Yunran for dinner and tell her about this matter so that she would be mentally prepared.
In just a few days, the news of how the dog emperor harmed the loyal and brave Wei family and gnawed at the remaining bloodline of the Wei family, forcing them to rebel for self-protection spread throughout the army and the entire Chenzhou. As expected, almost everyone, both in the army and among the people, supported the Wei family and supported them in overthrowing the corrupt Li royal family.
At the same time, after obtaining Shen Xiangwan's consent, Xie Yanzhi mobilized the forces of the royal palace scattered across the country and spread the matter to the world. It was also spread that under their leadership, Chenzhou had never suffered any disaster in the past two years, and they had also discovered high-yield grain varieties, which completely solved the problem of food and clothing for the people, and resettled one million refugees last year.
As these things spread more and more widely, almost the whole country was shocked. The old prince had been guarding the East Border for many years and was a nationally renowned guardian of the East Border. Wei Chengyi was also a famous young general. The Wei family was full of loyal and brave people, but the emperor harmed them so much, which was simply inhumane. The people were angry, and the voices of cursing the dog emperor and the court were endless. Especially the people in the East Border, they were the direct beneficiaries and had been protected by several generations of the Wei family, old, middle-aged and young, and they were extremely angry.
"And the exiled prisoners?"
Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Why would the court exile the criminals to Chenzhou at this time?
"They were exiled before the dog emperor issued an order. It is said that they were all officials from Binzhou and their families. The one who exiled them was Wanqishan, because they did not govern Binzhou well, which led to the peasant uprising in Binzhou and caused great suffering to the people."
Anyone with ears could tell that Yan Lang's words were full of sarcasm. If it weren't for the dog emperor and the court who didn't care about the lives of the people and didn't take any measures to help the victims, how could the people rebel? How could the local officials in Binzhou govern when they had nothing? How could they make the people obedient?
"Ah!"
Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but sneer. What a good plan. Pushing everything onto the local officials of Binzhou, blurring out the fact that the imperial court didn't provide disaster relief, and completely covering up the matter. Do they really think that everyone in the world is a fool? But...
"Among those exiled prisoners, is there one named Sun Yucheng? He was originally the magistrate of Tianhe County."
Tianhe County is a county located at the edge of Binzhou. When the earthquake occurred, most of the officials in Binzhou closed the city gates and ignored the lives of the people. Only in Tianhe County, the county government quickly organized manpower to rescue the people shortly after the disaster occurred, and distributed porridge at the city gate every day. At that time, she also secretly sent him a lot of food.
