Chapter 204 : Kill, kill! The terrifying tsunami is coming!(1/4)

In the next month, the entire Southern Zhou Empire was in full bloom.

The sound of attacking Ao Yu spread from the capital to the entire empire, and even in Jiangzhou Ao Yu was despised by thousands of men.

The immortal asked you to dream of the Langzhou waters and tell you that there would be a major earthquake and tsunami, and then you would deceive the Supreme Emperor, which led to this great evacuation.

How many people have you cut off your livelihood? How many people have you destroyed your job?

It's a sin!

What this looks like, how much it is like the jesters who harm the country and the people written in history. In history, many emperors were foolish in their later years and thought about immortality every day, so when they went to cultivate immortality, a scammer would appear on the emperor, encouraging the emperor to build this Taoist temple every day, refining this pill, forcing the prefectures below to pay tribute to this treasure, and disrupting the whole world.

But even so, Ao Yu would not have harmed him. He actually allowed hundreds of thousands of people to move and stopped the entire maritime trade.

This is a real traitor!

Does this look like the beacon fire in ancient books that play the princes? The Supreme Emperor is the foolish king, King You of Zhou, and Ao Yu is the treacherous minister Guo Shifu. In order to make the beauty Bao Si smile, he ignited the beacon fire. Seeing the many princes sending troops to rescue him, like an ants on a hot pan, the beauty Bao Si giggled and eventually led to the disaster of the country's destruction.

Of course, the authenticity of this allusion needs to be verified, but after all, it is recorded in ancient books.

Therefore, public opinion in the world exploded, saying that if this continues, the Southern Zhou Empire will probably repeat the same mistakes and perish like the Western Zhou Dynasty in ancient classics.

Under such explosive public opinion, someone finally shouted a slogan: seal Shangqing and kill Ao Yu!

It is to seal the Shangqing Palace and completely isolate the Supreme Emperor, so as not to let him scatter his life.

Kill Ao Yu so that this treacherous slander will no longer deceive the Supreme Emperor.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Public opinion was exploded everywhere in the entire empire, let alone Langzhou.

The eldest prince Zhou Li brought hundreds of Black Ice Platform warriors to sleeplessly. It took only seven days to travel thousands of miles to Langzhou.

He took out an imperial edict and asked the Governor of Canghai Province, the Prefect of Langzhou, the Admiral of Canghai Naval Division, the Langzhou Maritime Department, the Salt Transport Department, the Weaving Bureau and other institutions to fully implement the major evacuation.

As a result, he was sprayed back on the spot. The magistrate of Linya directly said that there would be no major earthquake and tsunami in the sea of ​​Langzhou. This was completely a treacherous Ao Yu's traitor, and he refused to execute it for the sake of the people of Langzhou.

The eldest prince Zhou Li took out the Shangfang sword without saying a word and cut off the head of the county magistrate Linya.

Next, the admiral of Canghai Province said that his army could evacuate, but he could not do so at all if he wanted his army to move forward and drive out hundreds of thousands of people in Langzhou to evacuate.

The eldest prince Zhou Li did not say anything, and still drew out the Shangfang sword, cut off the head of the admiral of the Canghai Province, and directly took over the military power of the Canghai Province in the name of the imperial envoy.

Seeing that the eldest prince Zhou Li was so fierce, all the officials present were shocked, so they could only kneel down to accept the order.

But after receiving the order, the eldest prince Zhou Li wanted to convene them to hold a meeting to carry out the matter of the major withdrawal.

Hundreds of officials all left with their crowns, with a very cool attitude.

Zhou Li only turned around and there were more than a hundred official hats in the yard of the Governor's Mansion.

No official came and all resigned, from county magistrate to governor, all resigned.

The chief officials of the Maritime Department, the Salt Transport Department, and the Weaving Bureau were all sent from the capital, all of which were eunuchs. They even followed the civil servants and left.

The entire Canghai Provincial Officialdom gave Zhou Li a big slap in the face.

Moreover, after these officials resigned, they also expressed public opinion, saying that this was a mess of life, and that Ao Yu had bewitched the Emperor's life. For the benefit of hundreds of thousands of people in Langzhou, they decided to resign and were unwilling to force hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate.

They would rather resign than help the evildoer.

For a time, hundreds of thousands of people in Langzhou shouted that Master Qingtian and countless traders also shouted that the officialdom in Canghai Province was really the conscience of the world.

Everyone looked at Zhou Li with a very ironic gaze.

Big Prince, we know you are in trouble and fall into hell. You are unwilling to pass any chance of turning over, so we regard Ao Yu as a life-saving straw.

Don’t dream anymore. If you can’t turn over, you will only be buried with Ao Yu.

But if you die, you will be tortured by our Langzhou province, so don’t delay us from getting rich.

Because all the officials in Langzhou officials resigned, the entire officialdom was completely paralyzed.

However, everyone's business is still good and delicious. However, the training of the navy has stopped and no government taxes has been collected, so many maritime merchants have made even more profitable.

You, Zhou Li, aren’t you awesome? You have done all the work alone. You have the imperial edict and the Shangfang sword. You are amazing. We can’t afford to offend but we can always afford to hide.

After mid-February, you and Ao Yu will be dead. Wouldn't it be a pleasure for us to come back then?

The eldest prince Zhou Li looked at the official hats all over the ground and sneered.

I originally wanted to evacuate safely and orderly so as to minimize the losses as much as possible, but since all of these people have resigned and have slapped them in the face, then let's evacuate toughly.

He didn't believe it, and every official was willing to resign.

So, Zhou Li brought the imperial edict and the sword of Shangfang to the Canghai Provincial Navy's garrison. He directly served as the admiral of the Canghai Provincial Navy in the name of the imperial envoy, and then ordered the entire navy to immediately expel merchant ships on the sea and transport evacuation materials.

Of course, these navy generals were unwilling to obey orders.

Zhou Li didn't persuade him, and took out the Shangfang sword, kept killing, kept killing, kept killing, kept killing, kept killing, kept killing.

After killing nine naval generals, the navy in the entire Canghai Province became obedient.

Seventy thousand naval officers and soldiers boarded the warships, obeyed orders, and executed military orders.

Next, Zhou Li ordered all merchant ships to go north to Jiangzhou Port in the name of the Admiral of the Navy.

These merchant ships come from many places, some of which are not even from the Great Zhou Empire, so how could they pay attention to your orders?

So he ignored Zhou Li's orders.

Zhou Li ordered that the entire Langzhou sea area within 500 miles will be temporarily turned into a military exercise area, and no ships outside the Great Zhou navy are allowed to enter, and violators will be killed.

As soon as this order was issued, the merchant nowhere to be excited.

We are all the God of Wealth in your Langzhou Port, and even your navy in the Canghai Province rely on us for offerings. Most of us are not merchant ships of the Great Zhou Empire. I don’t believe you dare to sacrifice to us.

Of course, the cannon here is a catapult and a crossbow, which is regarded as the main weapon of naval warships in this era.

Prince Zhou Li issued an ultimatum, that within two hours, any ships within ten miles of Langzhou Port would be evacuated, otherwise they would suffer a devastating blow.

These merchant ships still do not believe in evil. There are hundreds of merchant ships here, most of which are from other countries. Are you not afraid of destroying the goodwill of the Great Zhou Empire? Are you not afraid of causing diplomatic disputes?

"Five, four, three, two, one..." Time has come!

Prince Zhou Li ordered fire on merchant ships in Langzhou Port.

Suddenly, the navy of Canghai Province fired wildly, the stone cannons shot wildly, and ghosts cried and wolves howled on the entire sea surface.

The merchant ship hit was in close range and was instantly full of holes and injured countless times.

"Boom boom boom..."

Under the supervision of Prince Zhou Li, the navy fleet kept firing.

Destroy one merchant ship after another.

Then hundreds of merchant ships fled desperately like birds and beasts scattered.

While fleeing, he cursed and never came to Langzhou Port to do business again. Ao Yu, who was killed by heaven, and Zhou Li, who was killed by heaven.

After returning to their respective countries, they must write a letter to the government and use diplomatic pressure to force the Zhou court to give them an explanation, kill Ao Yu and punish Zhou Li.

The moment Prince Zhou Li ordered the fire to be opened, more than a dozen diplomatic disputes arose.

Next, Prince Zhou Li ordered the three great men of Heiyi Tainan Gong to take over him to command the ship.

The entire navy fleet was divided into two parts, half still patrolling the sea surface and expelling any merchant ships near the sea of ​​Langzhou. In addition, ordinary warships participated in the evacuation and helped transport important materials.

After returning to the ground, Zhou Li also served as the Maritime Commissioner, the Salt Transportation Department, and the Weaving Envoy, requisitioned all the ships, all the ox carts and horse carts in these yamen, and was responsible for transporting the evacuated materials.

After he coordinated these tasks, he left more than 100 Black Ice Taiwan officers to be responsible for the evacuation of these important institutions.

The most difficult thing next is the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people in Langzhou.

According to the map of Yun Zhonghe, Zhou Li estimated that if a tsunami really occurred, the entire Langzhou City would be within the scope of the sweeping area.

Therefore, all the people in Langzhou City, including 500,000 to 600,000, must be evacuated.

This is too difficult, too difficult!

The eldest prince Zhou Li's method was very simple. He directly intercepted the Tibetan silver from the Maritime Bureau, the Weaving Bureau, and the Salt Transport Bureau.

But it’s a pity that these officials are very cunning. Before Zhou Li arrived, not all the money was transported away. Zhou Li only copied the business money for one or two days.

Moreover, the Governor's Office and the Prefect's Office's silver treasury were all emptied.

The bank treasury of the troops stationed in Canghai Province has been emptied, and the owed wages of tens of thousands of troops have not been paid yet. The 70,000 naval military pays cannot be paid.

He left almost no silver for him. The emperor allocated five million taels of silver from the inner treasury, but the silver could not be received immediately, weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds, and it would take several days to arrive.

Zhou Li hesitated for a moment, and then led hundreds of warriors from the Black Ice Platform and the garrisons of Canghai Province to rush into the major silver numbers in Langzhou and forcibly borrowed silver.

In an instant, it caused a sensation.

The imperial envoy actually robbed the silver account. It is a strange thing in the world. The imperial envoy robbed the imperial envoy.

Although Zhou Li wrote a loan note to every silver account and would return it later, his reputation for robbing the silver account spread all over the world.

At this moment, Zhou Li was the public enemy of the entire world's money house.

These silver accounts are also armed by their own hands, and their backers are extremely strong. They are either the queen's family, the second prince's disciple, the official disciple, or even the silver accounts directly under the royal family.

Of course they were unwilling to surrender, so an armed conflict broke out.
