The first thousand one hundred and six chapters
Summer Palace, Imperial Study Room.
In the quiet room, Ouyang Shuo sat alone on a red sandalwood chair, reviewing the memorials, and wisps of blue smoke floated from the incense burner beside him. After a little smell, it made people feel shocked.
This is a special charcoal ambergris made by the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. It can not only refresh the spirit but also help in practice. Each charcoal of charcoal ambergris is worth a thousand gold and is a rare medicine, so Ouyang Shuo can use it as incense in luxury.
Over time, a thick stack of musicals fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After his success in his cultivation, Ouyang Shuo has been clear-headed, his memory and understanding have all risen to a new level. He can almost never forget everything and is full of energy.
The memorials that plague emperors of all dynasties are almost no problem in Ouyang Shuo.
Every day, Ouyang Shuo only takes two hours to finish the day's memorial review, which is really amazing. During Ouyang Shuo's memorial review, it is strictly forbidden to disturb him.
At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from outside the door. The person who came seemed anxious, but he didn't dare to knock on the door when he arrived in front of the door, but just walked back and forth.
"Who is outside? Come in!"
Ouyang Shuo was so keen that he caught the information outside the door in an instant, knowing that something must have been heard from the front line.
"promise!"
He responded outside the door and pushed the door gently, but it was the rotating captain of the Shenwu Guard.
"Report to the king, the front line will report urgently!"
The captain stepped forward and handed a letter to him.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, "Let it go!" He guessed that the Japanese naval battle had made the most progress. When he opened it, he found that it was indeed a battle report written by Qi Jiguang.
Seeing that the Handan fleet would rather sink the merchant ship on its own than accept the Daxia investigation, Ouyang Shuo was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that Di Chen would make such a decision, but he underestimated him."
After reading the battle report, Ouyang Shuo commented on a line at the end: "It is better to chase the remaining brave men."
…………
The letter that Ouyang Shuo commented was immediately forwarded to the Military Affairs Office and copied to the cabinet and related institutions.
Just like a starting gun, with Ouyang Shuo's order, the Daxia machine, which had been ready, rumbled again, ready to give Dazhou a fatal blow at the most unlikely time.
First, the Imperial Guards received the military order and immediately teleported to Edo Castle, Yingzhou County, and assembled towards Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island. The newly formed Yingzhou Corps were also mobilized together.
The soldiers are very fast, and the Imperial Guards will launch an island raid this time.
In addition to military operations, Daxia also had to fight this public opinion war and occupy the moral commanding heights. The Foreign Propaganda Department of Honglu Temple was ready and held a press conference immediately.
At the press conference, Violet disclosed the key evidence collected by the Daxia Coastal Fleet and clearly pointed out that the Dazhou was involved in the dispute between Daxia and the Jin Kingdom, which was equivalent to declaring war on Daxia in disguise.
"In the afternoon, after the Great Zhou Handan fleet took the lead in firing artillery, our coastal fleet and the Pacific Fleet fought a firm counterattack, and the two sides launched a fierce battle in the Japanese waters." Violet explained.
This time, public opinion was in a big uproar.
A reporter immediately asked: "Does the battle between Daxia and Dazhou stop at this naval battle, or will it be further expanded or even evolved into a full-scale war?"
This is the most concerned issue for Chinese players.
Violet smiled slightly and replied: "Daxia's position is clear and firm, and will never provoke internal struggles in the Huaxia area. However, if Dazhou takes the initiative to provoke, Daxia will not hesitate to fight."
"Hiss~~~~"
Violet's tough statement made the reporters present take a breath.
The storm is coming.
"Can you reveal the next military plan of Daxia in detail?" someone asked.
Violet did not hide it and replied: "Just just now, the remaining troops of the Great Zhou Handan fleet had retreated to Jiuzhou Island, and were accompanied by Jin liaison officers and important members of the Qing Dynasty. In order to clarify the misunderstanding, Great Zhou must take the initiative to hand over the relevant personnel and hand them over to Daxia for investigation before they can be released. Otherwise, the two sides will have to fight each other."
If it is a secret transaction between the two parties, with Di Chen's nature, it may even reluctantly agree. Now that Daxia takes the initiative to make the news public and Di Chen agrees, it is not Di Chen.
It is clear that Daxia is going to fight with Dazhou.
"In addition, taking this opportunity, we want to announce a news that given the disgraceful military operations in the Japanese waters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the patrol of our fleet in the Japanese waters will become a routine starting today."
Violet said this almost clearly that the Great Zhou fleet will be prohibited from entering and leaving the East China Sea in the future.
There were a few questions next, and Violet was playing the lead role in the entire press conference, which not only declared Daxia's position, but also showed Daxia's determination to retaliate and had an extremely tough attitude.
After the meeting, the relevant news spread throughout the Huaxia area, causing heated discussion.
"Why is the situation in China again?"
"The Handan fleet took the initiative to fire, and the Daxia Navy pursued and attacked him relentlessly. Who is the right person and who is wrong?"
"A naval battle caused by the storm, the calm in China is not there, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!!!"
"It was a shame for the Qing Dynasty to join the Jin Kingdom, and it supported the military operations of Daxia!"
"It's hard to argue with a hundred words. The Great Zhou is the most unfair?"
Not only players, but major forces in the Huaxia area are secretly observing the latest progress of the situation. Especially as one of the parties involved, the Qing Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom frequently negotiated and interacted with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The whole wilderness became lively again.
…………
Handan City, Royal Palace.
"It's so deceptive!"
After reading the news about the Daxia press conference, Di Chen was furious.
Almost immediately, Judy Fenghua organized a forum naval army to clarify the matter, saying that the Handan fleet was only firing artillery at merchant ships, and may not necessarily firing artillery at the Daxia fleet.
The one who really took the initiative to provoke the war was Daxia, not Dazhou.
The problem is that players in the Huaxia area don’t believe it at all, “Do you think we are stupid when firing fire at their own merchant ships?” Players will only believe what they reasoned and do not pay attention to the facts themselves at all.
What's more, the words of Dazhou are so incredible.
Especially since the Great Zhou has experienced the battles of Japan and the battle map, the public opinion has not yet recovered completely, so the players naturally distrust the Great Zhou from the bottom of their hearts.
On the contrary, in the just-concluded national war month, Daxia has made great contributions to the Huaxia District and the Chinese players, and its popularity is not unusual. No need to think about it, everyone is determined to stand on the side of Daxia.
Even if the Great Zhou navy spoke out, it would be useless, and instead it became more and more rude.
Seeing this, Fenghua could only accept his fate and swallow this bitter fruit. Therefore, even though the people's hearts are invisible, they can often affect the fate of a dynasty at critical moments.
The causes planted in the Great Zhou Dynasty finally have today's fruits.
