Chapter 515 The Xia Kingdom Court Decided to Move the Capital to the North(2/2)
In addition, Gong Yingzong said again that only by moving the capital to the north, regrouping, gathering troops, and possessing a certain level of strength can the Yun army not dare to harm his father easily.
Prince Xia listened to these words.
Seeing that the prince agreed to move the capital, the opposing courtiers suddenly became anxious and said:
"Your Highness, don't let this person talk nonsense from now on!"
"This matter should be discussed in the long term."
"Your Highness, please think twice!"
Prince Xia's face suddenly showed hesitation. After all, with the talent and knowledge of a twelve-year-old child, it is really difficult to make any decision.
The opposing ministers saw that the prince was hesitant and undecided, so they immediately turned around and shouted at Gong Ying:
"Gong Yingzong! You deceive His Highness because he is young, and you only talk about moving the capital to the north to reorganize the army. But you don't know, without the taxes from the south of the Yangtze River, where will you get the money to raise the army?"
Gong Yingzong immediately faced Prince Xia and said:
"I have also secretly contacted Chen Youliang of Taishan County. This man was forced to become a thief. Now he wants to return to the right path and has sworn allegiance to the imperial court. Soon he will lead the army back and forth, waiting for dispatch! With Chen Youliang of Taishan County, he has financial resources and military strength.
On the other hand, we can definitely defend the Huaihe and Huaihe regions!"
When the ministers heard this, they immediately continued to shout:
"Chen Youliang of Taishan County is the commander of the army who betrayed the imperial court?"
"How can such a villain be relied upon as a pillar of support?"
Facing the many courtiers who kept finding various reasons to object, Gong Yingzong finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He turned around suddenly and shouted ferociously at the objectors:
"You are determined not to move the capital. Do you want to see the Yun army come to the city and overthrow our Daxia Sheji Ancestral Temple? Are you the daughter of the Yun Kingdom who is a spy?"
Facing Gong Yingzong, who held down a hat with his backhand, the opposing courtiers suddenly became speechless.
At this time, other officials also stood up and said:
"The situation in Jinling City is indeed critical now! As the saying goes, a son of a rich man will not sit down in court. To persuade the capital to move to the north is to be wise and uphold the country!"
"If you don't agree to move the capital, you might as well set up a companion capital and ask the prince to hunt in the north to stabilize the country!"
"I second the proposal!"
Not all courtiers are bold and courageous.
Don't be afraid of the Yun army approaching the city.
The courtiers who came forward to support the proposal at this time, although they had not spoken just now, were very willing to move the imperial court to the north.
The prince nodded in agreement, and there were courtiers in the court who supported him. No matter how reluctant the opponents were, it was difficult to stop him at this time.
In this way, the Xia Kingdom's court quickly made a decision to establish auxiliary capitals in Bianzhou and Yecheng. The court first moved to Bianzhou to see the changes in the situation on the front line before deciding whether to continue the northern hunt.
After the imperial court's decision was issued, all the officials and dignitaries in Jinling City immediately went into chaos and hurriedly packed up their belongings and prepared to leave.
As a result, the news of the imperial court moving to the north could no longer be concealed. Jinling City, which was originally still stable, suddenly fell into panic. The people did not avoid the war and fled the city in a hurry. In the past, it was extremely prosperous.
Jinling City, which is worthy of being the greatest city in the world, is declining at an extremely fast speed——
Xia Kingdom’s capital city, Yunyang City.
When Yang Dayan, who was sitting in the city, received the urgent information from Sticky Rod, it was already two days later.
Knowing that the young prince of Xia Kingdom was planning to move to the north with all his officials, Yang Dayan slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and said loudly:
"Damn it, you actually want to run away?"
"Come here!"
When the soldiers outside the door heard the noise, they quickly walked in, cupped their fists and saluted:
"Commander!"
"Pass this commander's military order, mobilize the elite of the army, and quickly support General Le Yi. In addition, send someone to bring a message to Le Yi!"
"At all costs, rush to Jinling City as soon as possible, and never let the Xia Kingdom escape!"
