213. Complete outbreak
Lin Zhongqing said nothing, and the news that Shunguo and Izumo officially declared war was published on the second day in the newspaper.
In fact, before the news came out, the two countries had already had a secret fight, and no one took advantage.
However, most people in the government and the opposition were optimistic about the war.
Izumo's small country was a small guy who was unable to make the stage before. Now he dared to act like a snake and swallow an elephant. He also formulated a "Recruitment Strategy". It's really a big deal.
Moreover, the Beiyang Fleet is known as the "No. 1 Navy in the Far East", so there must be no suspense in this battle.
Lu Yao quickly flipped through the newspaper and felt that these people were too optimistic.
Fortunately, some enlightened people pointed out the problem:
[Izumo develops the navy at 60% of the national fiscal revenue, and the whole country is highly morale. With our country as the goal, we are preparing to fight a war of "betting on national destiny".
The total displacement of the opponent's navy has exceeded that of our country, so we must not underestimate our opponent in this battle!]
That's right, but unfortunately the biggest thing now is the Empress Dowager's birthday party.
The newspapers are full of reports on birthday celebrations, various lighting decorations, additional preparations, and other expenses, which will soon be able to create a new Beiyang fleet.
Seeing that the world line between the two worlds is about to end again, Lu Yao has been thinking about something to disrupt the situation recently.
"You have to be able to fight warships, but you have to be easy to buy..."
Although the "anti-ship missile" is good, there are no satellites in another world, and I have no launch conditions.
In reality, missiles are not enough to just press a button. These 4 or 5-meter long things are not easy to operate.
Moreover, buying such things will definitely attract the attention of Blue Star countries. It is enough to be a headache to watch with an Foreign Intelligence Agency. Now is not the time to be exposed.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Yao thought about it, but he didn't let go of his practice.
At present, 26 vertebrae have been cleaned for 4 sections, which has completely caught up with Liao Ya's progress and helped Liao Qi clean the bone marrow of his limbs.
In addition to practicing by myself, I also provide massages to two girls every day.
The two women felt the speed of practicing as rockets, and were so surprised that they couldn't stop talking, and even couldn't believe it.
Liao Ya touched her back with her back and said in surprise: "This is too fast, 5 days will be the best for my 3-month stern practice."
Liao Qi even hugged her lover's arm and said, "Lu Yao, you can live in the Jin Realm first, don't focus on me, I'm not in a hurry."
Lu Yao regulated his breath and exhaled the turbid air: "This is nothing. When the side effects of the 'Ten Complete Pills' are solved, the progress will be faster."
Currently, only three cans are eaten, and eating 4 can make Liao Qi unable to get out of bed the second day.
However, even eating three will have some effect. Recently, Liao Qi has been serving her very difficult. The girl secretly bought some painting books that are not suitable for children, hoping to learn some real skills to relieve stress.
At this moment, the three of them finished their day of practice and sat in the pavilion to watch the scenery and rest.
Liao Ya asked, "Did Sister Li not send a telegram again? Why didn't she call?"
Lu Yao replied: "I didn't call again. The phone number had to be transferred, and the operator would hear it when talking. She didn't want to cause trouble for us, so she reduced the contact."
The phone is still hand-cranked, and the dialing has not appeared yet.
Liao Ya said in a muffled voice: "Oh, I don't know when she will come back. She must be very sad now... Actually, I can understand this feeling. After my father died, my family was the same, falling from the clouds to the bottom."
Liao Qi held her sister's hand and said softly: "It's all over, how happy we are now."
Lu Yao comforted, "Don't worry, Li Pei should be back in a few days. The royal mansion will lose some benefits at most and have no worries about his life."
After chatting for a while, the two sisters squatted down to help Lu Yao pinch their feet. They knew that their junior brother liked this very much, so they would be satisfied from time to time.
The delicate touch from the feet is in front of you, two pretty faces that are as beautiful as flowers, and two pairs of big eyes that seem to be angry and happy.
Lu Yao closed his eyes comfortably, feeling that if there were no messes and all kinds of bastards, he would become stronger every day with a few girls. It would be really good to have a happy life.
At this time, Su Erya ran over with newspapers in her arms, and behind her were three spirit falcons clamoring and chasing.
The little girl ran away and was out of breath: "Uncle Master, report... newspaper..."
She stood tightly beside Lu Yao, and after speaking, she turned around and glared at him as if she was provocative.
The three spirit falcons stared back with a bad look, and deeply hated that this little girl had robbed the errand of delivering her newspaper.
Liao Ya stood up and taught a lesson: "Don't fight, nor do you need to bully people!"
The three spirit falcons lowered their eyebrows and leaned over to please.
They also had a hint of instinct to rank the people in their family - Lu Yao was the first, and the two mistresses tied for second.
The spirit falcons think that Gao Su Erya is good, and they often scare and bully them on weekdays. The little girls get along with them very unhappy.
Lu Yao smiled dotingly and said, "You guys, come all, I'll give you some massages."
It was not until the massage of Su Erya and Lingxiao that Lu Yao began to read today's newspaper.
And the headlines are: Pyongyang fell!
~~~~~~~~~~~
On the streets of the capital, the lights and decorations are decorated with festive atmosphere.
There was a small court meeting in Wenhua Hall.
Although there were not many people participating, they were all top figures in the dynasty.
At this time, the hall was silent, and there was only a little eunuch who was reciting the report:
[Izumo sieges Pyongyang in four directions. The head coach Ye Zhichao abandoned the city and fled. He was immediately caught in the trap. Our army was defeated and Pyongyang fell...]
When I heard the news of the fall of Pyongyang, the scene was a little awkward.
Izumo sent troops to invade Goryeo, not to mention wolf ambitions. Goryeo is a vassal state of Shun Dynasty and should be rescued.
But I never expected it to be defeated or even a big defeat.
Emperor Yong'an was furious and said, "Ye Zhichao is stupid and incompetent, afraid of the enemy as a tiger, so he should be killed!"
After all, the official army has both advantage in territory and harmony. The officials and civilians of Goryeo strongly support the Shun Army. It is hard to imagine how it was fought like this.
But after the emperor shouted, no one agreed. After a while, only the emperor's teacher Weng stood up with a tough bullet:
"Izumo is a small country, my king's army is just a small defeat, and it is possible to reorganize the game in one fell swoop."
Then, Lord Weng said to an old man: "Li Zhongtang, if you raise troops for a thousand days, it's time for the Beiyang Fleet to be dispatched. If you defeat the Yun Haijun, you should defeat yourself without attacking."
Izumo is just an island country. Without the navy, no matter how good the land battle is, it is useless.
But Li Zhongtang was surprised: "It is quite unwise to use a huge amount of effort to leave the fleet, and it will turn into a full-scale war between the two countries."
Everyone knows the meaning of this sentence. The so-called "a cannon fire and ten thousand taels of silver" really means that they have no money to let the fleet leave the port.
Recently, in order to prepare for a birthday banquet and build the Summer Palace, the court even had to borrow loans from the great powers to maintain it.
Lord Weng and Li Zhongtang argued back and forth, and everyone looked at their noses, but their noses were silent.
When the young emperor grew up, it is logical that he should take power. This is the most dangerous time to hand over the power of the emperor and the empress. It is more important to protect himself, otherwise he would be like Prince Gong.
