The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 705 Inspirational
In the capital city, a fast horse galloped through the city gate and galloped along Qingshi Street.

The officers and soldiers on duty at the gate of the city, and the yamen guards patrolling the street were taken aback for a moment, but when they saw the tricolor flag planted behind the knight on horseback, they suddenly realized that it was an urgent courier from the front line eight hundred miles away, and they all hurried out of the way, and Scold pedestrians on the side of the road not to block the road.

Since the "Da Ming Pao" was established, the daily headlines on the newspaper's front page are all about the recent major political measures implemented by the imperial court, or the progress of the front-line war, etc., so the people all over the world are very familiar with the development of the current situation , especially the people in the capital, who are close to the water, will always know the news before people in other places.

Since ancient times, in all dynasties, the people in the capital have been the most enthusiastic about court affairs. Seeing the knight with the tricolor flag on his back, they all speculated.

"It must be that the war in Shuzhou has made significant progress."

"I think it's probably because the murderous Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong was killed by Marshal Di. Marshal Di is the God of War in our Ming Dynasty."

"What the old king said is that this piece of loyalty has caused so many murders, God should have accepted him long ago."

"It's not God's old man. It's clear that the regent took him. This kind of villain used to kill the officers and soldiers, but now he meets a hero like Marshal Di. He is definitely not an opponent. According to the words in the newspaper That is to say, if you are like a cart, you will die sooner or later."

"If that guy Zhang Xianzhong really died, we men should have a good drink or two today to celebrate."

Pedestrians along the street are talking about it, but everyone's tone is relaxed and confident, and they are convinced that it must be a good thing.

The knight with the tricolor flag on his back galloped straight to the gate of the Prince Regent's Mansion. The officer on duty of the guard regiment on duty saw his attire, immediately looked serious, and came forward to help the dismounted knight, and hurriedly He asked in a loud voice, "but the Shuzhou urgent report?"

The knight looked extremely tired, but he tried his best to smile, took out a waist card from his waist and gave it to the officer on duty, and then said forcefully: "Jinguan City was captured by our army, Zhang Xianzhong was executed, Daxi Kingdom is dead!"

All the officers and soldiers in front of the Wangfu's gate lifted their expressions. The officer on duty was overjoyed. He inspected the badge handed over by the knight and returned it to him. Then he said, "Brother, you have worked hard. I will bring you to see His Highness."

Jiang Chuan had ordered that if there was an emergency battle report from the front line, he must be told as soon as possible.

In the large study room for daily work, Jiang Chuan was talking with Hu Zongxian, Liu Ji, Su Qin, Xia Junze, Shanjia and others.

"According to the days, it's time for the war in Shuzhou to come to an end." Jiang Chuan stood in front of the huge desk, splashing ink on the rice paper in front of him.

And Hu Zongxian and others also found a place to sit or stand in the room with a casual attitude. They didn't have the serious appearance of discussing matters in the past, but it was a place where old friends chatted.

"Your Highness is right. It's time for results. With Marshal Di in charge, nothing unexpected will happen in this battle, and Zhang Xianzhong will die." Hu Zongxian coughed twice and said that his health has not been very good. This is also an important reason why Jiang Chuan transferred him back to Beijing to serve.

"The so-called Daxi Kingdom is vulnerable. What I am worried about now is the recovery after the war. Shu Prefecture has been poisoned by Zhang Xianzhong for many years. The people have been killed and empty, a large number of fields have been barren, wild animals have been infested, and people's livelihood has declined to the extreme. It is really not an easy task to restore the economy and people's livelihood in Shuzhou to the previous level."

This is Liu Ji, he is as upright and serious as ever, holding a stack of texts in his hand.

"Mr. Liu Ge is very thoughtful in planning for a rainy day. In addition, there are issues such as the selection of officials in Shuzhou after the war, taxation policy, garrison, and suppression of bandits. They all need to be considered." Xia Junze interrupted.

"My lords, we can't just focus on Shuzhou, but also look at Nanzhao, Qianzhou and other places bordering Shuzhou. The chieftains in these places have been entrenched for many years. Moreover, if there is a disagreement, there will be rebellion, and it has been a persistent disease of the imperial court in all dynasties. Moreover, there are also many chieftains in the south of Shuzhou.

Su Qin was informal, leaning on a low couch, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and said while sipping.

Shanjia did not speak, he is now the Marshal of the Gyeonggi War Zone, responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi and the surrounding areas, and these things are not easy to talk about.

While writing on the paper, Jiang Chuan listened to the words of the ministers.

Footsteps sounded, and Qi Xuan, who was waiting outside, walked over quickly and said softly, "Your Highness, Marshal Di of Shuzhou has an urgent battle report, and the messenger is waiting outside."

Jiang Chuan just finished writing the last word at this time, and looked at the four large characters on the rice paper that he could barely see: "Knowledge is easier than practice." Hearing Qi Xuan's words, his expression lifted, and he put the wolf hair in his hand on the pen holder, saying : "Please come in."

Qi Xuan left quickly, and soon came in with a travel-worn messenger.

The messenger saw that Jiang Chuan was about to salute, but was stopped by Jiang Chuan, and said gently: "It's been a hard journey, so there is no need to be too polite. But Marshal Di has made significant progress?"

The messenger was excited, and his voice trembled slightly: "Reporting to Your Highness, Jinguan City was captured by our army, Zhang Xianzhong was executed, and Daxi Kingdom was destroyed. This is Marshal Di's personal battle report, please read it!"

As he spoke, he took out a battle report sealed with wax paint from the long cowhide tube wrapped in oiled paper on his back and handed it over with both hands.

Qi Xuan hurriedly took it, checked the seal to make sure it was intact, then melted the seal with a candle, picked it open with a knife, took out the battle report inside and handed it to Jiang Chuan.

Several important officials in the room focused their eyes on the battle report in Jiang Chuan's hand.

Jiang Chuan opened the battle report, looked through it in a hurry, looked excited, shook the battle report in his hand and laughed: "Di Qing is indeed our God of War, he captured Jinguan City at such a small price, and made Zhang Thief's confidant generals abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and punished him. Killing Zhang Thief and destroying Daxi Kingdom is really exciting. Come on, everyone, take a look, really say Cao Cao Cao Cao is coming."

Liu Ji was quick, and was the first to snatch the battle report. After reading it in a hurry, he also burst out laughing.

Several other people also rushed to watch, Shanjia got up and ran over to Hu Zongxian to watch together before it was passed to him.

Everyone was excited after watching it.

Liu Ji said with a smile: "Your Highness, if the people in the court and the people know about this great victory as soon as possible, it will definitely inspire people's hearts and make the people believe in the court even more."

Jiang Chuan nodded, then turned to Qi Xuan and said, "Send this battle report to the Secretary of General Administration and Daming Newspaper, and let them take this great victory as the core topic to announce to the world."

Qi Xuan took the battle report with a smile and went down with the messenger.
