The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Li Cunxiao led his men to seek refuge with Xiao Rui. Seeing this scene, Xiao Rui was overjoyed and immediately helped him up, and said with a smile: "General De'an is a powerful general, Da Xia will surely be like a tiger with wings! Get up quickly, get up quickly!"

After Li Cunxiao got up, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, An Jingsi is my real name from a foreign race, but I grew up with my adoptive father, who is Han, so he gave me a manly name, Li Cunxiao. Today I take my brother It is a new beginning for us to defect to Your Highness, so from now on I will be Li Cunxiao, not An Jingsi."

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Then we will call you Li Cunxiao from now on, and follow me back to the camp now!"

In this way, Xiao Rui subdued 20,000 soldiers and horses without any effort, avoiding greater casualties. Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan was also overjoyed to see Xiao Rui subduing Li Cunxiao, and immediately rewarded the three armies to celebrate.

With the disappearance of the last resistance forces in Qijiang County, the Daxia soldiers and horses quickly took action and immediately occupied the east bank of Qijiang, and the army reached the edge of Qijiang. The Qijiang battalion was so frightened that they were in full battle, for fear that Daxia would cross the river.

Of course not across the river! Not so many boats!

Then choose a suitable location on the east bank, and Gan Ning directly set up a water army battalion. Although there is nothing, it has just started, but now with the support of the Great Xia soldiers and horses, Gan Ning no longer has to worry about being encircled and suppressed by the Qijiang battalion.

A few days later, the army of Zhenyuan Hou Hanming came from the south. They set out from Xiangzhou and headed north. The Zhao army in the five major counties along the way was all wiped out, and Emperor Xia also sent more troops to occupy these occupied areas. The county city, began to manage and control.

When the two armies met, Xiao Rui also saw Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin.

"Subordinates Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" the two bowed.

A year ago, when they parted in Xiangzhou, Xiao Rui was still King Xian at that time, and now Xiao Rui is the crown prince. Chen Qingzhi was also promoted from a deputy commander in chief with no real power and a false name to a commander in command of tens of thousands of soldiers. Han Xin had the biggest change, he was promoted from a servant to deputy commander in chief!

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Get up quickly! Haha... You two performed well. Facing Zhao Guo's soldiers and horses, they repeatedly defeated many with fewer troops, showing the prestige of Great Xia. If it wasn't for the Qin State's invasion of Zhao State, Zhao Huangpai was sent to the south If the troops are withdrawn, the military exploits of the two of you will be even higher!"

Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin were grinning from ear to ear. To be praised so highly by the lord, the hard work of this year is worth it!

Afterwards, Xiao Rui introduced Zhang Liang, Gan Ning, and Li Cunxiao to them. In the future, when they cooperate with each other, they will naturally get to know each other more.

Later, Xiao Rui also met Chang Shenghou Han Ming, and the two were old acquaintances, after all, it was Xiao Rui who saved his life. While chatting, everyone turned the topic to the current situation.

Xiao Rui opened his mouth and said: "The state of Zhao is divided into east and west by Qijiang River, and there are still two northern counties that have not yet been occupied. According to the speed of King Duan, it may take some time. Just wait for King Duan to come to meet, and the conquest of Zhao will begin this time." The mission has been successfully completed. The fourteen counties east of Qijiang River have all been included in the territory of Daxia, which has expanded the territory of Daxia by one-third. I believe His Majesty will reward you for such great achievements in opening up the territory! "

Tian Boyuan and Han Ming looked at each other and smiled.

Tian Boyuan said humbly: "Fighting on the battlefield is the responsibility of a soldier in armor. The last general waits for others without asking for rewards. It's just a pity that he can't cross the Qijiang River and go straight to the imperial capital of Zhao Kingdom! Destroy Zhao Kingdom with his own hands!"

Han Ming nodded, feeling a little regretful.

Xiao Rui didn't take it seriously, and said: "Emperor Zhao is dead, it doesn't matter whether Zhao is destroyed or not! But we can't take it lightly! After Qin destroys Zhao, the next enemy we face is Qin! And Compared with Zhao State, Qin State is recognized as the most powerful country in the mainland of China! Although Qi Jiang is a barrier, it is not a dead end, and it will eventually pass! Qin State’s ambition to unify China will not make them give up on the pace of the Eastern Expedition, so you The task is heavy and there is a long way to go!"

Everyone stood up and respectfully said, "The general will understand!"

Xiao Rui waved his hand to make everyone sit down, then looked at Tian Boyuan, and asked: "Master Hou, you are the General Zhao, do you think it is necessary to send troops to support Duan Wang? Take the two northern counties as soon as possible, as soon as possible." solve."

Tian Boyuan thought for a while, then said: "The resistance in the north is relatively weak. With King Duan's speed, it will take more than ten days. At the end, the general suggests sending Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin to the north. Let them join His Highness Duan Wang and finish all finishing work within six days. Old Han, what do you think?"

Han Ming smiled and said, "I have no objection."

Tian Boyuan looked at Xiao Rui again, and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I'm just the supervisor of the army, everything is arranged by Lord Hou."

Tian Boyuan immediately ordered Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin to repair the army and horses, and lead 20,000 troops to the north tomorrow.

As night fell, the gyrfalcons from Kyoto returned with a message.

After Xiao Rui opened it, he saw Jia Xu's familiar font:

"Your Highness, everything in the capital is safe and sound. However, during this time, the killers of Zhao and Qi who were hiding in Daxia began to counterattack, trying to assassinate the court officials and the emperor's relatives, disrupting the order of Daxia. Your Majesty Ordering Dongchang to search and arrest did not cause chaos. Also to protect the blood of the royal family, His Majesty has ordered that all the princes who have been dispatched as officials be recalled to the capital. At this time, His Highness Tang Wang has returned to Beijing, and His Highness King Ming is far away in Fuzhou. Have not returned to Beijing yet. After returning to Beijing, all the princes will not have any official positions and do not need to go to court."

Seeing this, Xiao Rui laughed immediately. Xiao Yan had been sent as an official for a few months, but he returned to Kyoto again. But looking at His Majesty's intentions, since the crown prince has been appointed, it seems that he intends to let other princes be idle princes.

Qin Lie, King of Jin, Xiao Ze, King of Wu, Xiao Yuan, King of Ming, Xiao Jing, King of Jing, Xiao Yan, King of Tang, plus Xiao Rui and Xiao Feng, these brothers will be able to gather together in the capital.

It doesn't matter if they get together, just in case the memorial tablet of King Xiao Yiheng of Chu is moved out, although Xiao Rui has an affair with Princess Li Xiu'er, he is not afraid, but he doesn't know whether Xiao Feng is afraid or not.

The other princes have all been recalled to the capital, what about Xiao Feng?

After this incident, Xiao Feng returned to Beijing, but continued to lead troops outside?

Xiao Rui couldn't guess what his father's plan was, so it depended on his own plan.

Xiao Rui continued to look down:

"Potatoes, corn, and peppers are about to have a bumper harvest! Under Jia Sixie's careful cultivation, the production budget is huge. Xiao He has already contacted all parties, and it is expected that the sowing will cover the entire Gyeonggi after autumn."

...

The cooperation of Jia Sixie and Xiao He made Xiao Rui no worries. Taking advantage of the impact of the Little Ice Age, he seized the time to expand the planting scale, so that he could better deal with the next disaster.

People's life is very simple, nothing more than basic necessities of life.

Leaving aside travel, in terms of living, except for the homeless, the common people in Daxia basically have houses. Even the thatched huts can keep out the rain, but they are afraid of encountering more severe weather, such as heavy snow, hail, Storm and more.

People from poor families cannot build strong houses, and strong winds blow off roofs everywhere.

The next step is to return to Beijing, Xiao Rui is going to study cement!

Xiao Rui doesn't know the specific production process of cement, but he can still say a few words about the general process. At that time, he will brainstorm and work hard with the technicians of Huben Pavilion to study and advise. Slightly less quality and stronger than lime-painted walls!

Corn and potatoes are solutions to the food problem, and actions have already begun.

Last clothes left.

The biggest feature of the Little Ice Age was coldness, as can be seen in the severe cold of the past two winters. If it was any colder, more poor people would freeze to death.

Unfortunately, there is no cotton in Daxia! There is not even the word "cotton", only "cotton"!

It's not just that there is no big summer, but there is no such thing as cotton in the mainland of China, just like corn and land, it is a foreign thing.

In the previous life, cotton was widely promoted throughout the country, and it was also in the Ming Dynasty. Now the common people in mainland China, dignitaries and dignitaries rely on silk stuffing to keep out the cold, or furs and cloaks made of animal fur, which can also be burned with charcoal, so they cannot freeze.

But the poor people can only fill their clothes with flax, plant fibers, reeds, straw, and even paper!

That's right, it's paper!

There is a poem that goes: "A bed covered with a bright moon is a dream, and a few feet of white cloud cage is used to sleep coldly. Put on the right wind and warm the wine, and listen to the cold rain to warm you in the cotton."

This is the description of the paper quilt.

During the cold Little Ice Age, the dignitaries lived in peace, but what about the poor people?

So this time when Shen Wansan was sailing, Xiao Rui told him three things, the first was to find a carnivore suitable for breeding, that is, white pigs. The second is to find suitable crops, and the third is to find cotton.

With cotton, the common people can have the support to survive the cold winter by relying on the imperial court's system to promote it forcibly.

Xiao Rui is not a saint, he just wants to prevent so many people from dying for no reason through his own efforts.

These are Xiao Rui's plans, he never mentioned them to anyone else, only Shen Wansan knows and is very curious, why His Highness can figure it out, could it be that he has been there?

Putting down the letter, Xiao Rui's thoughts drifted to Qi State.

Champion Hou has already captured Fengtianfu City.

Two-thirds of Qi State's southern territory was also occupied by Great Xia, and Yuan State in the north of Qi State was also frantically occupying and exploiting Qi State.

Like Zhao Guo, Qi Guo seeks his own death with the tiger's skin, and he can't blame others. However, Qi State is better than Zhao State in that the Qi Emperor is still kind, and the Qi Army is somewhat capable. But it's a pity, who said Da Xia and Yuan Guo were too aggressive, even if Qi Huang had certain means, it would be difficult to turn the tide.

So, if you don't have the skills, don't force yourself, and you will hurt yourself in the end. Look at Yan Guo, how obedient it is. Directly form an alliance with Xia Guo, if Yan Guo goes to war with Xia and Wei at the same time, without Xia Guo taking action, Yan Guo has already been destroyed. If it weren't for Xia Guo's efforts to protect him, Yan Guo would have ended up early with the conspiracy of Wei Guo and Zhao Guo!

This trip has been out for more than two months, it was extremely hot when we came, and now it is autumn, and I have killed Zhao Huang to avenge my great revenge, so I should go back after calculating the time.

However, we still need to wait a few more days, at least wait for Duan Wang Xiao Feng to meet up and completely solve the east of Qijiang River. At the same time, Xiao Rui has other plans!
