The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Qingzhou Bay!

When the flags of "Qi" and "Qin" appeared in Qingzhou, the "Two Qi Armies" who had already surrendered to the barbarians were all stunned!

My hair!

It was the first time they had witnessed this kind of war. In the distance, large ships were bombarding with cannons, while on the sea, a large group of soldiers were rowing small boats towards the shore.

In this era, beach landings and coordinated infantry and artillery appeared for the first time!

The soldiers of the Second Qi Army guarding here had never seen such a scene before.

He just shot a few arrows and fired a few shots symbolically, and then ran away.

It can be said that Li Jize's Qin army landed without any obstacles at all.

When Li Jize, surrounded by the crowd, stepped onto the land of Qingzhou for the first time from the warship, and returned to the north for the first time...

That kind of emotion! It's self-evident!

When the rebels surrounded the capital, in order to dissuade Li Jize from aiding the empress, they wrote a letter to the King of Qin, urging him to either surrender or seize a plot of land and establish his own kingdom! We, the Northern King, recognize you!

But Li Jize didn’t!

Li Jize was also very clear in his mind: if he wanted to take some land, he could do so at any time! But he definitely would not take the land of Da Qi.

If he had taken Qingzhou at that time, he, Li Jize, would have been on the pillar of shame in history!

When the monarch was in trouble, not only did he not rescue him, he even took advantage of the situation to seize the territory of Da Qi.

But now?

Li Jize is back! He not only took over the beaches of Qingzhou, but will also take over the entire territory of Qingzhou.

Moreover, he took Qingzhou legally and justly!

Because this is not called robbery, this is called recovery!

Li Jize attacked the north at this time, on the one hand to save the rebels, on the other hand to declare what he had said before, that he, Li Jize, was really a barbarian! He was really recovering the country of Qi.

Let’s analyze these two points one by one.

Why save the rebels? Didn't they destroy the capital of Daqi and "kill" the empress?

The answer is very simple. Let the barbarians also repeat the pain that the empress suffered before!

If Li Jize just sits there and does nothing, and they eliminate Li Zhenbei and unify the entire north...

Li Jize has no chance at all!

Wasn't it the same when the barbarians attacked Da Qi before? As soon as they saw that Da Qi was going to put an end to the civil strife, they would definitely come in to plunder.

The empress was frightened and summoned troops from all over the country to come to the rescue. Then the rebels revived again. The two sides took turns to consume Da Qi and finally wore Da Qi down!

Li Jize is the same now. Since we have shouted the slogan, "Let's fight the barbarians together," then I naturally cannot let the bandits be wiped out. If they are wiped out, what's the point of playing!

The two sides took turns to satisfy the barbarians.

As for the second point, to prove to the world that he, Li Jize, is a man of his words is like roasting the three Sabi in the south on the fire.

I, Li Jize, have already placed my bet, just decide whether you want to follow or not!

If you don't follow, and you three idiots are still fighting among yourselves, how will the world see you? How will the people see you?

If they followed, it would be like a third force joining in, and the barbarians would be even more uncomfortable.

and……

In order to give confidence to the rebels and the South, Li Jize's battle must be shown to be like a crushing defeat, so that these people will have a feeling!

The barbarians are no better than this! If it were us, we could do it too!

Therefore, after Li Jize landed on the land of Qingzhou, he planned to seize the entire Qingzhou.

Qingzhou is a great place. One side of it borders the land, and the other side is a very long protrusion in the sea.

This salient is very interesting. On one hand, it is very close to the barbarian frontier, and on the other hand, it faces Baekje across a coastal sea.

The reason why Li Jize and his staff set their sights on this place is clearly based on their strategic vision, right?

The barbarians have no navy, so I only need to defend one side, which can greatly reduce the pressure of defense.

If I can't defeat the barbarians' 100,000 cavalry, I can always use the warships to go back to my own territory.

On the contrary, once I take root in Qingzhou, once the huge population market here expands and develops soldiers...

This place directly threatens the royal capital and the barbarians outside the Great Wall!

The most important benefit is...

The future will inevitably be an era of colonization, and wealth will inevitably come from the sea!

That is! Plundering makes me rich, plundering makes me happy!

Baekje was conquered by the barbarians, and you provided them with food, fodder, and vassal troops, so you are our enemy.

Just because the Empress didn’t deal with you before doesn’t mean that I, Li Jize, won’t deal with you.

To sum up, after occupying Qingzhou...

Externally! On land, they can threaten the capital and the barbarian hinterland at any time. On the sea, their good neighbor Baekje, you store food and I store guns, Baekje is my granary!

Internally, the land of Qingzhou is large enough. Compared with the current Haojing, it can not only produce its own food! The most important thing is that there are about 500 to 700 million Qi people here. If Li Jize wants to enter the hegemony, the source of troops must go up.

He can't always rely on the "wild" disaster victims on that small island to expand his army, right?

Alright! Li Jize and his Qin army have officially arrived and are making their move.

Now, it's the barbarians' turn to respond.

The Sixth Prince Bo Chijin received the information at full speed. When he learned that Li Jize and the Qin army appeared in Qingzhou Bay, he just opened the map and saw that they had reached the same level as them!

As soon as the other person sticks out his butt, you know what kind of shit he is going to do!

Qingzhou is too close to the royal capital, especially since it surrounds the entire Saiwai and Baekje, with an inner sea in the middle.

That is to say...

Damn it! Once Li Jize establishes a firm foothold in Qingzhou, his navy will be able to threaten the capital at any time.

To put it bluntly, if Li Jize peed in Qingzhou, he would have to wash his face after taking a turn.

Now that Li Jize's intention is known, he must not succeed no matter what. Bochijin must quickly send troops to put an end to Li Jize's landing!

Here’s the problem…

No army!

The barbarians had been rolling around before, and had brought out an army of nearly 300,000. How come they have no army now?

First, the army cannot expand indefinitely, it needs food and wages!

Second, there are 300,000 people. They want to occupy every part of the vast north, and the main force is still fighting against the rebels.

Once he is transferred away, wouldn't he make the same mistake as the Empress of Great Qi before, and the rebellion will revive again?

But in Bochijin's eyes, it seems that Li Jize, the General of Tiance, is more dangerous than Li Zhenbei.

He had received news from his hometown before that Li Jize had slaughtered their entire generation and taken away their wives, and even Bochijin's princess was not spared.

Such a beast!

Fortunately, he doesn't have many soldiers. If he were allowed to occupy Qingzhou and then develop it, what would happen?

"Order! Gather all the vassal troops. I will personally lead the charge against Li Jize!"
