Australia

Dingnan Port.

In the harbor, the Fenghe Rili is a large armed merchant ship. At this time, the large sailboat, which looked very gentle, had quietly spread out its minions.

Although the gun window door on the side of the ship has not been opened yet, the gunners of the gun crew are all on standby on both sides of the cannon.

Even the members of the Land War Company were already wearing breastplates.

The knife is unsheathed and the bow is wound.

This armed merchant ship with thirty-six artillery was waiting with breath.

On the deck, Captain Zhao Tiezhu was watching the dock with a thousand-mile mirror in his hand. He was waiting for the signal. This time he was here for a long voyage, not to do business.

On this trip, he has a top secret mission.

The envoy of the Imperial Execution had already arrived. If Li Zhi did not know the current affairs and refused to accept the enthronement and appeasement of the Emperor Dahua, even if he showed a little hesitation and resistance, the officials of the Imperial Execution on the shore would send him a signal.

At that time, he will lead his Fenghe Rili to bombard Dingnan Fort, send Marines and sailors to land to capture Dingnan Fort, and capture Li Zhi. If Li Zhi dares to resist, he will kill him.

Of course, if Li Zhi was willing to obey the order, then the order he received was not to take action.

Zhao Tiezhu didn't want to see the agreed signal. He had been here a year ago. At that time, it was desolate, but when he came back more than a year later, there was such a beautiful small town here.

It is far inferior to the Central Plains, and it seems very backward everywhere, but this place is the distant southern continent after all. Li Zhi came here with those few people across the ocean. It is not easy to build everything here in such a short time.

Zhao Tiezhu was not willing to see the bloodshed here. The power change in the Central Plains was so he let him go. This is a new beginning.

There shouldn’t be any Tang people or Chinese people here, there shouldn’t be only Han people here.

"If......... do we really want to take action?" Zhao Tiezhu looked at the first mate beside him. He said he was the first mate. In fact, this first mate is the real person in charge of this operation. This is a deputy commander of Feiqi.

He was the emperor's confidant, and the deputy commander of the dignified flying cavalry came in person, which shows how the emperor valued this matter.

The deputy commander was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, with a cold face.

"Are you questioning Your Majesty?"

"I dare not." Zhao Tiezhu said hurriedly.

Feiqi is a place that makes people feel disgusted. It is quite mysterious about Feiqi. Although this yamen is actually a very ordinary yamen on the Shamao Street in the outer city of Hanjing. However, there have been various rumors about Feiqi.

This yamen said mysteriously.

However, the Feiqi does have many mysterious things. For example, the Feiqi only announced the name of the commander to the outside world, but the names of the deputy commander to the outside world are not announced to the outside world.

Everyone didn't even know how many deputy commanders there were in Feiqi, and they didn't know which officials were in the departments and bureaus below.

Just as the deputy commander of Scar standing in front of him, he walked with him all the way. But Zhao Tiezhu didn't even know the other party's surname, let alone the name.

When this man came, he was holding the emperor's hand decree, the command of the Flying Cavalry Commander, and the official documents from the Censorate and the Cabinet. It only said that the Flying Cavalry Commander came to handle the work and asked him to cooperate fully. As for the name of the Scar's deputy commander, he did not say anything else.

This commander didn't come alone either.

There were more than a hundred people who came on board with him, saying that they were a certain Land Warfare Company, but Zhao Tiezhu always felt that these people were not from the Land Warfare Company at all, and they didn't even look like soldiers. These people felt even more cold than soldiers. These people were like killers and better than soldiers.

Until today, Zhao Tiezhu didn't know that his mission was possible to kill Li Zhi. He was only informed of the news just before the decree was disembarked, and he was extremely shocked at the time.

"Do your duty well, swords don't need to think by themselves."

Scar spoke to him for the first time.

Zhao Tiezhu was once a naval officer and deeply understood the meaning of this sentence. Soldiers regard obedience as their duty, and many times, the above asked them not to think. Because soldiers learn to think, they will doubt it. Whether for confidentiality or other reasons, the army emphasizes obedience more.

A soldier is the sword, and the sword does not require thinking.

The general holds the sword's hand, but in fact the hand is not the one who really controls the sword, the one who controls the hands is the brain.

For Dahua soldiers, the one who controls the army is the cabinet and the emperor.

Zhao Tiezhu sighed silently in his heart, hoping that Li Zhi would be smarter. Emperor Dahua was very good to Li Zhi and was very kind to the entire Li family.

For example, this time, the emperor was prepared for both.

The one who came ashore now was the official who gave Li Zhi a reward and prepared a lot of supplies for him. But if Li Zhi didn't know the current affairs, he refused to kneel down to the Emperor Dahua and refused to follow the current situation.

Then the emperor had the second thing that he prepared for Li Zhi, that is death.

Since he refused to surrender to Dahua and refused to accept this change of dynasty, the emperor would not keep this disaster again.

On the pier.

Wang An anxiously persuaded Li Zhi.

Although the news of the Dahua generation of Tang Dynasty really shocked Wang An, he was still an old world after all, and had experienced too many ups and downs. Even in his heart, he had expected this day to come.

Zhang Chao dares to abolish Li Shimin, so why doesn’t he dare to abolish Chengqian?

Since Zhang Chao has the prestige and ability of a Democratic Tang, why didn't he do it?

When everything is settled, I feel like a feeling of relief in my heart.

Anyway, they have already exiled the wild continent of Australia, so it is not much different from those of Dahua as ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Zhang Chao also showed such great kindness. No matter whether his goodness is hypocritical or true or good, Wang An thought that he would not have to be too serious.

Li Zhi turned a deaf ear to him.

I knelt on the ground, and I couldn't stop crying for a long time.

"The Tang Dynasty is dead."

The Xuanzhao official just stood quietly aside, and he did not urge Li Zhi anymore.

Li Zhi is still so young, and it will definitely take some time to experience this country and country change.

"Your Highness." Wang An advised in a low voice.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Li Zhi stood up, walked to the messenger, grabbed the edict with one hand, opened it and read it.

Suddenly he laughed.

"Zhang Chao is so generous. He is so obedient, oh."

Li Zhi spat at the edict, then tore it hard, tore it to pieces, then threw it on the ground, and stepped on it with his feet.

The official Xuanzhao looked at him with a cold face.

All this seems to be expected.

However, Wang An, when Li Zhi called out Zhang Chao's name, his face had changed drastically. In this era of imperial power, the emperor's name cannot be shouted randomly, but must be avoided. Even when writing the word "the emperor's name", he must be avoided, let alone openly shouting the name.

Even ordinary people, it is quite impolite to just call the emperor's name directly, let alone calling the emperor's name like this.

With this sentence alone, if the emperor wants to pursue it, he can be punished with a crime of disrespect or even deceiving the emperor. Li Zhi has no life to die.

But Li Zhi no longer cared about it.

"I, Li Zhisheng, are from the Tang Dynasty, and die, are the ghost of the Tang Dynasty. Even if I become a ghost, I will not be the ghost of China. I want to buy me if I have a little fame and fortune? Bah, let Zhang Chao dream."

The proclamation official bent down and picked up the devil that was no longer decent.

"Li Zhi."

He also called him his name directly.

"Do you know how precious these edicts are? Actually, think about it carefully. Throughout history, how many new dynasties have treated the royal family of the previous dynasty as well as His Majesty. Not to mention anything else, just talk about how your Li family treated the Yang family at the beginning."

"Your Majesty is so kind and kind to the Li family. This edict is priceless. But you abandon it like a straw shoe, which makes people sigh."

"Bah, I don't care. I'd rather be a big Tang dog than a Huachao person."

"Li Zhi, I thank you for your impulse and I can give you a chance to regret."

Li Zhi smiled coldly.

"Isn't it just a life? Do you think I'll care? Take it if you want it, don't be sensible. Today I pretend to be so kind and hypocritical, I'm afraid I will die from a bad life if I don't take long."

Although the imperial decree gave him opportunities again and again, Wang An also persuaded him hard, Li Zhi didn't care at all.

There is nothing greater than the death of the heart.

When the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, Li Zhi didn't want to be a country-destroying person for the rest of his life and was forever exiled to this foreign land.

"Zhang Zi, I curse you that you will die a bad death!"

Li Zhi drew out the long sword at his waist. It was originally a noble sword, but more of a ritual sword.

The Xuanzhao official took a few steps back, and the guards guards next to him immediately drew their swords to block the front.

Li Zhi laughed a few times and put the sword on his neck.

"Your Highness, don't!" Wang An exclaimed to take the sword.

But Li Zhi had made up his mind and tried his best.

The sharp sword cut open the carotid artery, blood spurted out, the sword slipped down, and Li Zhi fell to the ground.

Wang An was one step late. He hugged Li Zhi and reached out to hold his neck, trying to press the bleeding mouth. But he couldn't hold it down no matter how hard he pressed it. Blood gushed out and soon dyed his hands red.

The proclamation official reached out and pushed away the guards and stood there looking at Li Zhi.

"Li Zhi, why should you do this?"
