“People of Great Wei! I’m very happy that you have such awareness! With you guys, Great Wei will definitely create another glorious era! The future prosperity of Great Wei will have your contributions! The good men of Great Wei! We will be waiting for your return to the Capital!”
The commoners were enthusiastic and shouted, “Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!”
Jian Qingqing’s eyes were filled with tears. She thought that people in any era had a strong sense of patriotism. They would step forward when the country was in danger and save the country from disaster.
With these heroes stepping forward, more and more people volunteered to join the team. There was no need to issue an announcement to increase the number of conscripts. More than 40,000 people had been recruited in the
Capital. After some simple training, the team quickly rushed to the border.
This trend was not only prevalent in the Capital, but also in other cities. In addition, they had shamelessly sent people to deliberately spread the news, so many people from other cities volunteered to join the army. The arrival of these soldiers gave the border passes, which were about to collapse, a turn for the better.
Because Great Wei was rich now, they had equipped their soldiers with the best equipment to ensure that they had the highest chance of survival.
The first batch of soldiers set off on the 26th of December. On New Year’s Eve, they arrived at the most dangerous city- Sang City.
Sang City and the Dongyue Kingdom shared a border. The Dongyue Kingdom was determined to take down the Wei Kingdom. Therefore, on the first day, they sent out 100,000 elite soldiers to attack the Sang City closest to the Dongyue Kingdom. The Sang City, which only had 10,000 soldiers guarding it, had no power to resist. It fell in three days.
Immediately after, the Dongyue Army was about to cross Sang City and rush towards Bin City and MO City.
Wherever it went, not even a blade of grass grew.
Ming Zhyan had arrived just as Bin City and MO City were about to be breached, he had quickly defeated the enemy in Bin City with an irresistible force. Then, he led his army to MO City and captured them all in one fell swoop before they could react.
After rescuing the two cities, he took a short rest and reorganized before rushing to Sang City with his high-spirited soldiers in one go, driving out all the intruders inside.
When the news reached the Capital, the originally depressed atmosphere instantly became a little higher. People rushed to tell each other the good news. Even the Civil officials who always liked to pick on the court had a little more smile these days.
They did not love Great Wei, but after two years of change, Great Wei was the best choice. If they surrendered to other countries, they might not even be as good as Great Wei two years ago, and today’s Great Wei had a bright future.
It was the same for the commoners. It was Great Wei that allowed them to no longer go hungry and live a more prosperous life. Once there was a war and other countries invaded, these commoners would be treated as playthings and humiliated by the people of other countries. They might even become slaves or servants. This kind of life would disappear like a dream.
That was why they had mustered the courage to go to the battlefield to protect this peaceful life and to protect their loved ones from torture
It was not that they were not afraid of death, but compared to the consequences of being killed and humiliated by their enemies in the future, they would rather take the initiative to attack and win a chance of survival for themselves.
If they were lucky enough to survive, they would be promoted to the noble rank and bring glory to their ancestors.
If they died, at least their families could get some glory and live a better life in the future..
