Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

"What is the position of a food officer and what is his role? I have already explained it to you clearly!"

"Now that war is about to break out, you twelve grain officials are to transport all the grain collected this year to Ezhou City."

Food officer Zhang Yuyuan said:

"Your Highness, these grains are official grains that are supplied to the imperial court!"

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan's eyes showed a fierce look. He glanced at Zhang Ningyuan and said:

"Now is a time of war, how can there be any food in the national treasury? Do you still want to ask me such a pedantic question?"

"I now order you to quickly transfer all the grain from various counties to Ezhou City. Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed!"

"We have already assembled 150,000 troops, and more are gathering on the way. If we don't have enough food, how can we suppress the rebellion in southern Xinjiang?"

The twelve food officials knew that

All the food in Ezhou must be supplied to this newly formed army.

King Zhenbei only felt that the land of Ezhou had not experienced war for many years, so these generals and officials did not have the slightest sense of urgency.

This is completely different from the northern border, where military officers and soldiers from the northern border are all on high alert.

"You twelve grain officials, transport all the tax silver collected from each county to Ezhou City!"

The grain official Zhou Xiangrui said with difficulty:

"Prince Zhenbei, this is inappropriate! These silver coins need to be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue of the imperial court. If..."

"presumptuous!"

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan said angrily:

"I will tell you this for the last time. Whether it's food or money, all of it must be used by my army now!"

"If you keep talking too much, or if you have any more questions, I will send all of you to the front lines, to the battlefield!"

"Qilin Guard!"

Hongxuan summoned his guards,

A Qilin Guard came to the side of the King of Zhenbei and bowed in response:

"The humble position is here!"

"Send twelve Qilin Guards, each with a hundred Qilin Guards, and let these twelve grain officials lead them."

"Transport all the taxes and grains collected from the twelve counties to Ezhou City. Use them for military supplies!"

The Qilin Guard responded respectfully:

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

Twelve county governors and grain officials followed the Qilin Guards out of the hall. With the supervision and participation of the Qilin Guards, King Hongxuan of Zhenbei felt relieved.

After Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan dealt with the food and money issues of the twelve county towns,

Left the Provincial Administration Office with Hua Rongsheng.

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei did not leave Ezhou City directly. He summoned all the soldiers and horses, a total of 4,000 personal guards.

These four thousand guards followed the King of Zhenbei and left Ezhou City and came to the outside of Ezhou City.

At this time, there were dense crowds of young and strong men gathered outside Ezhou City. Most of them were in groups. Some were standing casually, and some were standing or sitting on the ground.

Most of what they talked about was joining the King of Zhenbei's army.

"Are you serious? If I join the army of the King of Zhenbei, I will get a salary of one tael of silver a month? If I get a salary of one tael of silver a month, then I will get twelve taels of silver a year."

It was obvious that the young man did not believe the news. He was from Anlu City, and the recruiting officer had told him that he would receive one tael of silver every month, and his family would also be able to get good farmland.

"The Yunzhou rebellion will sweep across the entire Dafeng Kingdom. We are risking our lives to suppress the Yunzhou rebellion, so the King of Zhenbei will certainly promise us benefits!"

"Food is in short supply now, and the Dafeng treasury is empty. I'm afraid this little bit of benefit is just verbal!"

These Ezhou youths also expressed their opinions in the discussion here.

At this moment they saw the tightly closed gates of Ezhou City open.

Soon, teams of disciplined infantry walked out of the city gate, holding compound crossbows in their hands and long swords on their waists.

Every soldier had a solemn and murderous look on his face, and there was a terrifying murderous aura about him.

The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and all the young people sitting on the ground climbed up and stood up.

After the crossbowmen left the city, the Qilin Guards protected the King of Zhenbei as he left the city.

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei was overjoyed when he looked at the young men in front of him. These young men would be the core force to deal with the Yunzhou rebels in the near future.

And these young people were extremely excited after seeing King Zhenbei.

"He really is the King of Zhenbei! Look at the royal dragon robe he's wearing."

"I can actually see the true face of King Zhenbei!"

"Will I ever be as mighty and majestic as these soldiers? Look at the crossbows they hold. They look so majestic!"

The sound of discussion gradually arose among these young people.

Hongxuan smiled. He didn't expect that just one imperial decree from his would attract so many high-quality troops.

Hong Xuan's majestic and domineering voice sounded:

"Young people of Ezhou! I am Hongxuan, the King of Zhenbei! I will be your supreme commander!"

As the voice of King Zhenbei sounded, everyone present fell silent, listening to King Zhenbei's mobilization.

"Young soldiers!

Today, 150,000 of you passionate young people have gathered outside Ezhou city!

You are responsible for the mission of defending your country and the responsibility of quelling the rebellion in Yunzhou! Although you know that the road ahead may be dangerous,

However, you are not afraid and go forward resolutely! Because of your bravery, you will bring glory back to your hometown!

The Yunzhou rebels were as brutal as wolves.

After occupying Yunzhou, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of atrocities. They even wanted to get their hands on Xiangzhou and then coveted our Ezhou.

If they succeed, Ezhou will be plunged into a bloody hell.

People are suffering and their homes are destroyed!

But I believe in you, 150,000 brave and heroic men!

Knowing the dangers of the battlefield, we still move forward resolutely.

With passion and courage, build a Great Wall of Steel!

Here today, another day I will go to the battlefield,

Let us bear in mind our mortality, and with fearless courage,

Attack the enemy! Make the enemy tremble with fear, and let them know that our Dafeng passionate youth are invincible!

When we win, let our hometown shine with our glory!

Soldiers, follow me and charge forward. Fight bravely to protect the great Feng country and to save the lives of Ezhou! Go forward bravely! "

The young men outside Ezhou City were all excited, their eyes filled with endless fighting spirit.

They were not fighting for money, nor were they fighting for good farmland for their families.

They fought to defend the country of Dafeng, to defend their own homes, to defend their parents and families. Their families were displaced from the land ravaged by war.

Such a tragedy must never happen in Ezhou.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

The young people shouted and sang with fearless fighting spirit!

"Fight bravely and move forward courageously!"

Wave after wave of shouts rang out, resounding through the sky!

These young people in Ezhou finally understood now that King Zhenbei came here not for himself, but to protect their Ezhou homeland.

No one was smiling and frivolous, and no one had such vulgar ideas as earning one or two taels of silver a month and getting good land for his family.

Once you are on the battlefield, it's a matter of life and death, it's either life or death. Thinking about money and good farmland is not what young people pursue.

Every young person has lofty ideals and pursuits in their hearts. This age is the least corrupted by material things. It is the most lovely age. It is also the most passionate and hot-blooded age.

So when Hongxuan learned that an imperial decree had summoned 150,000 young people from Ezhou.

He knew that this battle would be a sure win.

Hongxuan pressed his hand towards these young people.
