Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Is there?" Fang Yiai blurted out, and was about to recover immediately, but suddenly realized that she had been tricked, and couldn't help smiling bitterly: "Your Highness is His Highness, even if you are sick, this IQ is beyond the capabilities of your subordinates." Than."

"Did I flatter you?" Li Zhen scolded with a smile, "What happened outside? Why didn't you tell the truth to Bengong?"

"This..." Fang Yiai was in a dilemma: "It's not that the subordinates don't want to say it, it's just that the imperial doctor also said that Your Highness is currently ill and weak, and the most important thing now is to rest and not let foreign affairs interfere. your mood."

Li Zhen gave him a white eyeball: "Do you think that if you don't tell Bengong, will Bengong still be in the mood to rest? Cut the nonsense, what happened?"

"Ah...it's not really a big deal." Fang Yiai muttered, and lowered her head a little guilty under the intimidation of Li Zhen's eyes: "It's just that we made too much noise yesterday, and the news spread to the army. The dishonest bastards are afraid of being implicated, and they don't know which bastards instigated them to come up with a preemptive attack... They also have guns and grenades, and they even have cannons in their hands. The firepower is much stronger than ours, but why? Your Highness, you fell ill and fell into a coma, and your subordinates were bewildered, and you were unexpectedly suppressed by them when you were unprepared..."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?" Li Zhen rolled her eyes again, Fang Yiai's words can be trusted [-]% at most, what does it mean to be suppressed?Hearing the sound of the guns getting closer and closer, I'm afraid the guards can't defend now, and the rebels are rushing here.

"By the way, what slogans are the rebels shouting? There must be a reason for them to rebel, right?" Since ancient times, no matter what they do, they must pay attention to a teacher who is famous, just like the Seven Kings Rebellion in the Western Han Dynasty. Obviously they just want to rebel and become the emperor. , still have to shout a slogan of "Qingjun side", telling others that we did not rise up to be the emperor, but to kill the bad people around the emperor; , Restoring China', telling the world that I rebelled not to become emperor, but to expel the Manchus and restore the Han people to the world.

Of course, this reason is just a matter of hearing, no one will take it as true, at least after Emperor Han Jing killed Chao Cuo (that is, the bad guy in the mouth of the Seven Kings), the Seven Kings rebels did not stop, and finally It was Zhou Yafu who got rid of them; likewise, the father of the country, after expelling the Manchus, became the interim president himself. If Yuan Shikai hadn't robbed Hu later, I'm afraid his president would not have stepped down automatically.

So since ancient times, rebellion must find a better reason. You can’t just tell the world that I want to rebel, otherwise not only the world will resist you, but even the soldiers below you will not follow you—especially now in the Tang Dynasty This imperial court is doing well, Li Zhen's reputation is also very good, and her prestige in the south is unparalleled, how dare you blatantly rebel against Li Zhen?I'm afraid that if you say it out front, your subordinates will trap you later and ask the prince for credit.

Fang Yiai smiled wryly and said: "Well, their reason is very simple, that is, they publicized our mutiny everywhere and detained you, His Royal Highness, and they came to rescue you. But at this time, Your Highness is sick, and the subordinates are not willing to help you." Well, please come out and prove that the rebels believed the rumors of those bastards instead of seeing His Highness, and not only the rebels, but even our own people are a little suspicious of our subordinates, and their morale has been greatly reduced."

"If that's the case, then I will go with you." Li Zhen subconsciously followed Fang Yi'ai's words while her mind was in a daze.

"It's not right, Your Highness." Fang Yiai flatly refused: "Those bastards also have guns and cannons in their hands. Maybe you will be attacked by the enemy as soon as you go out, Your Highness, and things will really get worse, so Your Highness, please don't go out...and you don't have to worry, Your Highness, these people are just grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be long. Although our people are temporarily suppressed, our reinforcements are coming soon, just need When reinforcements arrive, they will be wiped out in minutes."

"That's right, then I can't see it." Li Zhen also realized that he had said something stupid. The enemies in front of him were not the enemies in the past. They were also equipped with various advanced firearms. Putting myself under the enemy's sniper gun, this is what Li Zhen, who has always focused on saving her own life, is unwilling to do, and it is also what Fang Yiai and others do not want to see, and even if they go out by themselves, the rebels will Will declare itself to be a fake and have no effect at all.

But if Li Zhen doesn't go out, the war will move in a worse direction.

In the face of the enemy's complete equipment and absolute superiority in numbers, even the Boys' Army is hard to resist, especially if the opponent also has cannons, which are completely unreasonable weapons-in fact, it's not that the Boys' Army is not equipped with cannons, but When Li Zhen ordered the blockade of No. [-] and No. [-] areas yesterday, in order to avoid alarming the enemy, he only asked the soldiers to bring short guns, not heavy weapons.

Therefore, in the face of the rebel army suppressed by cannons, even the young army can only rely on fortifications to resist layer by layer, but layer upon layer of resistance is obviously unable to repel the enemy. If there is no strong enough reinforcements, Li Zhen will only face one fate— — That is, fleeing in a hurry under the escort of the guards.

And this is obviously not what Li Zhen wants to see, not to mention that in the past 20 years, he has conquered the world, won every battle, never showed weakness, almost never failed, let alone was chased and killed in a hurry—— —Even the encirclement and suppression by the Golden Wolf Guards under Jieli's command back then did not make Li Zhen take half a step back. Today it is just a mere rebel, how can it make him show weakness?

Chapter 1091 Backhand

Chapter 38 Backhand

What's more, according to the news from Wang Tingchu, Li Shimin's health is becoming more and more unfavorable now, and he has not been in court for several days, and the imperial physician cannot leave his side at all.

The city of Chang'an is now precarious, snakes, insects, and rats emerge in endlessly, and monsters and ghosts are rampant. This is because Li Shimin's coercion and Li Zhen's power are suppressing everything, making some people feel scruples and dare not move completely, otherwise they will change. For a weaker monarch, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos by now.

It's just that even though they were still hesitating in their hearts, there was no doubt that the joy in their hearts had gradually become uncontrollable as Li Shimin's health deteriorated and the day of Li Zhen's return to the court approached. Difficult to deter.

At this time, everyone in the world looked at two places, one was the imperial palace and the other was Lingnan. Needless to say, the imperial palace, when Li Zhen would leave Lingnan was also one of the main topics that some people talked about recently.

It can be said that now is the most critical moment for Li Zhenlin to ascend the throne. If it is reported that his army rebelled at this time, and he himself was beaten by the rebels, Li Zhen's reputation would definitely be reduced. I'm afraid that those people will really be unable to bear it and act at this critical moment - although Li Zhen is already prepared, even if those people do it, they will only fail, but it will eventually bring unpredictability to Li Zhen's succession This is not what he wants to see.

Fortunately, Li Zhen has already made preparations in this regard, not only enough to eliminate this rebellion, but it may even make other gains...

Fang Yiai also suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I heard from Lin Fa earlier that he mentioned this matter to His Highness, and His Highness said that you have already prepared for this? If you have already prepared, Your Highness, please take it as soon as possible." Come out, I'm afraid it will take more than an hour for the reinforcements of your subordinates to arrive, and we don't know how many brothers will die in this hour."

"Don't worry, I didn't lie to you." Li Zhen nodded slightly, reached out and took out a flare from her pocket, and handed it to Fang Yiai: "Just go outside and send out the flare, and the reinforcements prepared by Bengong will come naturally. "

"Yes, this subordinate will go get ready now." Fang Yiai was overjoyed and stepped out of the room.He has full confidence in Li Zhen. Although he doesn't know what the signal flare represents, let alone the scale of the reinforcements Li Zhen said, he knows very well that with Li Zhen's character of not fighting unprepared battles, since he If he said that he had prepared for a long time, it proved that the scale of this reinforcement is definitely not small. At least it will be no problem to quell this war and eliminate all rebellions.

"How is it? Has Your Highness woke up?" Lin Fa was directing the battle outside, and when he saw Fang Yiai coming out, he asked quickly.

"This is what His Highness prepared." Fang Yiai raised the signal flare in his hand. This signal flare does not need a flare gun to fire, as it contains propellant inside. You only need to ignite the fuse, and the flare will fly into the sky and explode by itself.In terms of structure, it is somewhat similar to the Chihwa (a kind of firecracker, shaped like a small paper cannon, decorated with a reed about two or three feet long, which explodes when the core is burned) that later generations played with when they were young. The difference is that it is much larger. Moreover, the warhead is not filled with explosives, but incendiary and iron powder, and there is a small parachute on the head, which is enough to burn and float in the sky for three to five minutes before landing, which is enough for everyone who heard the explosion to see clearly .

"Great, then light it up quickly, the brothers are almost unable to hold on anymore, Cheng Chuliang just came over and said that we are running out of bullets." Lin Fa urged excitedly, the fighting power of the Boys Army is naturally beyond doubt, It is worthy of being an elite who has been fighting on the battlefield for several years. His life-saving ability is indeed top-notch. Although he is at a disadvantage, his own losses are not great. The only problem is that he does not have enough bullets.

"Chirp~boom!"

The sharp whistle and explosion sounded from the signal bomb. Driven by the strong propellant, it flew up to a height of more than 20 feet, and then exploded. The green light almost reflected half of the sky. Even in broad daylight, it was enough to In the eyes of the Shining Flower, the sound of the explosion was even more deafening. Not only did Area [-] hear it, but also Area [-] and Area [-] nearby.

It's just that not many people paid attention to it. After all, this area was at war, and the sky was full of gunfire. How could a slightly different explosion sound be noticed by others?

Fortunately, this explosion finally fell into the eyes of some caring people...

After hearing the explosion, Area [-] is the residential area and headquarters of the underworld. There are a large number of mercenary camps and gang lairs, etc. The level of chaos is no worse than Area [-].And in a house near No. [-] area, after hearing the sound of an explosion, several people rushed out quickly, and immediately saw the signal flare that was glowing green in the sky and was slowly falling down.

"Your Majesty, look, it's His Highness's signal flare." A young man who was about the same age as Li Zhen, but with a much older face, shouted excitedly after seeing the signal, and suddenly burst into tears: "Great, After six years, I can finally wash away the humiliation on my body, and I can meet His Highness as a meritorious minister."

"Yes, we can finally see His Highness." The man who answered him was a strong man with dark skin. This is also the biggest characteristic of this man. He is so dark that he doesn't look like a Tang Dynasty man. Tang Ren, although he does have the native place of Tang people and theoretically belongs to Tang people, but his race is black, and he is pure black, but his Chinese is very standard. If you just listen to the accent and don’t look at his appearance If so, I'm afraid that others will regard him as an authentic Chang'an person.

It's just that this black man is already very old, with gray hair, a thin body, and faint wrinkles can be seen on his face. If it weren't for those eyes that were still piercing, others would think he was just an ordinary black old man, but He will not be associated with the mercenary king who roams the desert and kills without counting.

"Hehe, I haven't seen His Highness for more than ten years. This time, I won't leave no matter what I say, and I will stay by His Highness's side. I will go wherever His Highness goes." The third person who spoke was a white man, his age and The black man was pretty much the same, except that his skin was extremely rough, and he looked like a weather-beaten person, and he seemed to have suffered a lot.

"Of course, His Highness has already promised us that we can stay by his side this time." The black man grinned, showing his extremely white teeth.

Chapter 1092

Chapter 39 Listening to the Wind Mercenary

"Stop talking, Your Highness over there can't hold on anymore, is it really okay for you to waste your time here?" The last person was a woman, and when the three of them chatted like this, they immediately urged her angrily Said: "Why are you all yelling? Maybe His Highness has already forgotten you."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The black and white people immediately jumped up when they heard it: "Your Highness will definitely remember us, let alone his Tingfeng mercenary, but it's your flower room, which hasn't been given to His Highness all these years." Provide any information that is too important, maybe His Highness has already forgotten you."

"Bah! You didn't provide any information to His Highness..."

Seeing that the three of them were about to fight, the young man next to him was ashamed: "I told you three adults, don't quarrel. If you continue to quarrel, we will be too late. I got the information before, and the army of the Luzon Governor's Mansion They've all set off."

"Yes, yes, let's go over quickly, and we can't let the soldiers of the Protectorate's Mansion take the lead." The black man quickly woke up, and immediately showed the majesty he had been in business for many years: "Luo Lin, give orders, let our people gather immediately , rushed to the fifth area as quickly as possible."

"Yes." The young man, that is, Luo Lin, immediately took the order to retreat.

"He's such a stable person. It's indeed the best choice to entrust Tingfeng to him." The black man sighed, looking at Luo Lin's leaving back.

"After all, he was chosen by His Royal Highness. There is no doubt about his talent. It took five years to climb from the bottom to the chosen position, and he was worshiped by all the warriors. Actually, I am not surprised at all." The white man laughed.

You should have already guessed the identities of these four people. The young Luo Lin who quit was actually the commander of the Qianjia Battalion who was dismissed by Li Zhen at the beginning. He was also the future arm that Li Zhen was very optimistic about. Teacher, learn the art of war, enter the army and become the leader of the first battalion of the Youth Army.It's just that the Qianjia Battalion suffered heavy losses because of the mishandling of the Hangzhou incident. Li Zhen originally wanted to kill him. Later, Xue Rengui exchanged his life with his own meritorious service. Li Zhen sent him to listen to the wind for training. After that, he was already the young commander of the Tingfeng mercenary army, second only to the two commanders, and he was also the candidate for the second generation of the Tingfeng mercenary army in the future.

And that woman is Aya, Li Zhen has always had complicated feelings for her, and wanted to include her in her harem, but Aya thought she was humble and was much older than Li Zhen, so she always refused, and for her Li Zhen formed Huajian, an intelligence organization, and later, probably in order to avoid Li Zhen, she has been running around, and now she seldom appears in front of Li Zhen.

The reason is that the black people are self-heated, and the white people are Creevey, the real leader of the Tingfeng mercenary army. At the beginning, the two of them accepted Li Zhen's order to form the Tingfeng mercenary organization, and developed a mercenary organization based on this. The powerful intelligence department has been in the Western Regions and Dashi countries for many years. With its excellent weapons, well-informed intelligence and dedicated attitude, it has won more victories than lost, and has been praised by all customers. Now more than ten years have passed, Tingfeng has grown into a colossus, with [-] core members alone, and as many as [-] peripheral members. It has become an existence that even the Great Food Empire dare not underestimate.

As for why the Tingfeng mercenaries who are in the desert appear here?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because Nanyang has developed too fast in the past few years, and because of the incomplete laws, it is completely different from the Tang Dynasty, so it quickly became a paradise for criminals and mercenaries. The Tingfeng mercenaries have reached their limits in the Western Regions, and continue to develop new businesses. Under the research of insightful people, Nanyang soon fell into their eyes.

It's just that Nanyang is different from the Western Regions after all. There is no war between countries here, and naturally it doesn't need too many manpower. So Tingfeng quickly changed the development model with Li Zhen's permission, changing from large corps operations to military operations. For the battle mode of the elite team, relying on the reputation left in the desert, and after completing several missions perfectly, Tingfeng was once again welcomed by Nanyang, and this place has become another gold mine for Tingfeng.

However, the person in charge of Tingfeng in Luzon is not the three of them. The reason why the three of them came this time is because of Li Zhen's call. Among them, Benyin and Creevey are already very old. They followed Li Zhen back then. They were already in their 30s when they were born, and now 20 years have passed, and they are already in their 50s.

Mercenary is a very age-dependent profession. Except for a few people, it is difficult for people in their 50s to adapt to the harsh environment of the Western Regions and fighting on the battlefield.So when Li Zhen asked them to come back, he was actually planning to let them retire. Anyway, Luo Lin had grown up enough to take over the position of the second generation leader.
