A few days later, they received news that pirates had invaded the coast of Cangwu and attacked two Cangwu civilian ships.

It is said that the boat contained the dowry of Princess Annan, which was transported from Annan County to Xuantian Sect.

Even though this was such a big event, the Queen Cangwu did not show up.

It was the Crown Prince who gave the order to suppress the bandits.

Everyone knows that Queen Cangwu is the most protective of her people.

According to legend, there was a daughter of the Song clan who married far away. Later, because she did not give birth to a son, she was abused by her in-laws.

For this reason, the Queen of Cangwu was furious. Not only did she sentence the Song girl to divorce, but after the divorce, she also beheaded the mother-in-law who abused the Song girl.

There is even legislation for this.

Because of a sister in the clan, the legislation of Cangwu was revised. This is really absurd and protective.

In fact, the cause of this incident was the drowning of two granddaughters of the mother-in-law's family.

Giving birth to a boy means continuing the family line, while giving birth to a girl means losing money, or even drowning if not raised.

When Song Jinxiu learned about this, she was furious.

She had never expected that even though she was now an empress and there were still female officials in the court, there would still be such a serious preference for boys over girls, and even the practice of not taking girls' lives seriously.

Beheading the person involved is to make the person pay with his life, and making it known to the whole world is her way of setting an example.

To this end, she made a law: Giving birth but not raising a child is a thief, and drowning a child after birth is a disaster.

Song Jinxiu did all this not just for the girls of the Song family, but for all the women in Cangwu.

Also, because the entire population of Cangwu was mobilized to investigate the sacrificial array that year, many foreign spies were also investigated.

Of course, Junjun's animal army played a key role in the investigation and punishment of spies.

Therefore, the information that Dada people received was somewhat delayed and even pieced together.

They thought that the Queen Cangwu, who was so protective of her own children, was actually indifferent to the robbery of the dowry of her only sister, Princess Annan, which meant that something must have happened to her.

Two days later, news came that the emperor had suffered a hysterical attack and was clamoring to kill the Cangwu empress. The empress still did not show up.

Clamoring about killing people?

Even those words spoken in anger could reveal a serious problem. That is, the Grand Emperor and Empress of Cangwu were at loggerheads.

In fact, the real situation was that the retired emperor was clamoring to chase the empress, and he also wanted to face the sea and see the spring flowers blooming.

"Your Majesty, it is said that the Queen of Cangwu has not appeared in public for more than half a year."

"Hahaha, okay, it seems that there is a civil war in Cangwu. The Queen of Cangwu is no longer in control of herself and is under house arrest by the old emperor."

This speculation made King Dada, who was sitting on the throne with high spirits, smile. He seemed to see the huge granary in Cangwu waving to him.

He waved his hand and finally made up his mind to give it a try.

"Gather your forces and assault Cangwu Baiyun County. Pay attention, our target is the granary there. Take it and run. Don't fight to the death."

A minister frowned and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, Baiyun County only has 5,000 troops. Why don't we take this opportunity to capture Baiyun County?"

It is true that Baiyun County only has 5,000 soldiers, but they have been fighting for so many years, and have not gained any benefits from those 5,000 people?

Besides, if he steals the food and runs away, people might turn a blind eye. But once he occupies their territory and their army approaches, won’t that mean an all-out war?

You know, there is no major war in Cangwu now, and the water bandits are just making minor noises.

Thinking of this, King Dada glared at the minister and said, "Do you know how mountain eagles and wild wolves compete for food? If they don't run, are they just waiting to be torn to pieces?"

Minister: Your Majesty, what you said makes you feel like you're running away. Alas! To put it bluntly, Your Majesty is unsure!

King Dada was certainly unsure, although he always looked down on Queen Cangwu in his words.

But what cannot be denied is that during the years that woman was in power, the strength of Cangwu State increased by leaps and bounds. Their Dada State and his Dada King really could not compare with them.

This time, it was only after receiving news of the civil strife within the Cangwu royal family that he dared to send troops to test the waters.

As soon as the army was assembled, Song Jinxiu received the news from Goshawk.

Yes, now the goshawks on the grassland, the petrels on the sea, and the cheetahs in the jungle are all Junjun’s intelligence agents.

Since Song Jinxiu established her foundation, Junjun's cultivation has also improved, and now she has become the king of animals in the three realms of sea, land and air.

Therefore, before the Dada people set out, the Song family army guarding the Dada border had already received orders from Song Jinxiu.

Ever since Song Chunsheng became the principal of the military academy, Sun Guang had led the Dragon and Tiger Battalion of the Xishan Camp. Of the Song Jiajin generation, some stayed in the Xishan Camp, some entered the military academy, and some went to the border.

Back then, Song Jinsheng and Song Jinyou each led 500 brothers from the Dragon and Tiger Camp to suppress bandits, and then stayed on the northern border.

Because Song Jinxiu knew that sooner or later, there would be a war with the Dada people.

At the very least, she must take back the White Mountains and Black Waters.

This is her obsession.

The Song family army on the border now has Song Jinsheng as the main general and Song Jinyou as the deputy general. In recent years, the Dada people have come to harass the people on the border from time to time.

The two of them have been interacting with the Dada people and can be considered old rivals.

At this time, the two received orders from His Majesty to evacuate the people from the border and properly resettle them, leaving behind some food for the Dada people to rob.

Song Jinsheng was puzzled: "What does your Majesty, our clan leader, mean? Pity those Dada people for having nothing to eat?"

Song Jinyou said, "Just do whatever the Patriarch tells you to do. I can't keep up with the pace of your Majesty's brain even if I rack my brains."

He scratched his head and added, "I guess His Majesty is afraid that the Dada people will really starve to death, and we will lose someone to practice actual combat with."

Song Jinsheng nodded: "Yes, but is our food so easy to rob? I think our Majesty wants to deal with these bastards."

Song Jinxiu: The ones who know me best are my two cousins.

She just wanted to make it easy for them to rob, otherwise what if they got scared?

If you want to destroy someone, you must first make him crazy.

The Crown Prince has never seen war, so we have to give him a chance, right?

In mid-October, His Majesty returned to the palace.

An emergency cabinet meeting was held late at night. Minister of War Liu Nenggan, Minister of Revenue Zhang Zihan, Military Academy Principal Song Chunsheng, and others were present.

The next morning,

The old Prime Minister Zhou Kunran, with his hair and beard all white, was full of vigor and vigor as he read out the imperial edict:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

The great principles of the world should be unified. King Dada has committed cruel and vicious acts against the people, and his evil deeds are against the will of heaven. Anyone who offends Cangwu will be punished, no matter how far away. Wherever the king's army goes, all will become Cangwu's subjects.

This was the first imperial edict issued by Empress Cangwu after returning to the palace, and it was also an imperial edict to attack Dada.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Is this a formal declaration of war with Dada?

Is it finally time to defeat Dada?

"Your Majesty is truly amazing. You've said it so well. The fundamental righteousness of the world lies in unity. Only with unity can the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment."

The current Earl of Huaiyang, Tian Lei, has great admiration for the current emperor. He feels that the emperor should have unified the north long ago.

A minister echoed, "That's right, these Dada people are restless in winter and spring."

"King Dada can't manage his own country well. Regardless of drought or flood, as long as there is a shortage of food and drink, they shamelessly come out to rob."

"Humph! You always resort to banditry to harm our Cangwu border residents. Your crimes are grave and cannot be tolerated by Heaven."

"We have long wanted to deal with them. Anyone who invades Cangwu will be punished, no matter how far away they are. Your Majesty's words really hit the nail on the head."

The court was filled with excitement. Cangwu was now a rich and powerful country, yet the Dada people dared to provoke and be arrogant. They were really asking for a beating.
