Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

After the two of them finished their discussion, they had a common goal and their relationship became much closer.

When the other party left, Qian Wanli even personally sent Mu Liuming ten miles away.

The actions of the Shenmu Kingdom soon spread to the court of Daqian.

Qin Ming learned the news early and quickly sent the order.

The movements of the Shenmu Kingdom were soon reported in various newspapers in Daqian.

Dissatisfaction with the Shenmu Kingdom began to brew throughout the dynasty.

People's discussions can be heard in the streets and alleys.

Most of them felt that the Shenmu Kingdom was so far away from the Western Regions, yet it was still meddling in other people's affairs.

Daqian's territory is almost adjacent to the countries in the Western Regions, yet it has not yet been affected even though it is so close.

An outsider like the Shenmu Kingdom actually arranged hundreds of thousands of troops to enter the Western Regions.

This not only threatens the stability of the Western Regions, but also directly threatens Daqian!

No one, after becoming a huge dynasty, would be willing to allow people from other dynasties to directly arrange hundreds of thousands of troops near their border.

This is not a matter of threat or not, it can be regarded as a declaration of war against them.

Sometimes, many people in the society began to call on the court to send troops immediately to stabilize the situation in the Western Regions.

Their rumors soon spread to the court, and officials from all departments in the court actually had the same idea.

During the time that Qin Ming was away from the capital, Chen Shimao had been assisting in handling state affairs.

Song Dingsheng was in charge of the Ministry of Rites and also led people to focus on newspapers and periodicals.

He wrote several articles criticizing the Shenmu Kingdom, and before writing, he was also very good at listening to the thoughts of the people below.

Basically, any article he wrote received rave reviews, and that was why he knew that the people outside were calling on the court to send troops.

"Prime Minister Chen, why are you still sitting here? There's been a huge uproar outside, and many people are getting angry. Even officials from all levels of our court are looking to submit memorials to you."

"What? Send troops?"

Chen Shimao was not too surprised by their reaction.

Generally speaking, as long as these emotions begin to brew among the people, this result is likely to occur.

Even people in the imperial court might be infected by them.

But the decision to send troops could not have been made from the bottom up.

So far, he has been very calm.

Seeing his calm look, Song Dingsheng was a little surprised.

"Of course they're sending troops. They've deployed hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in the Western Regions, right on our doorstep. If we don't send troops now, how can we have such a good opportunity in the future?"

"Hua Yunhong simply used the excuse of Cao Chuan's support during the Western Shu War to dispatch troops and deployed a force of 100,000. Just look at the extent to which the people still criticize him."

"If Daqian took this opportunity to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops into the Western Regions and seize the opportunity to capture it in one fell swoop, have you ever considered whether it would also be criticized?"

"what?"

Song Dingsheng was stunned.

What Chen Shimao said does make sense. If they had taken this opportunity to directly arrange so many troops to enter the Western Regions.

It can be said that the Western Regions were truly conquered.

To outsiders, they used their powerful strength and the conflict with the Shenmu Kingdom as an excuse to forcibly seize the Western Regions.

This will not protect their reputation, and may even lead them into a trap like the Shenmu Kingdom, where they have no justification for their actions.

But Daqian has enormous power. It is definitely impossible not to use it here and instead let the Western Regions be plagued by the cholera of the Shenmu Dynasty.

"If we don't send troops at this time, what will we do?"

Song Dingsheng has realized that Qin Ming and Chen Shimao seem to have found a way to have the best of both worlds.

It can not only preserve the reputation, but also give up the Western Regions.

"Alas, none of you are as wise as His Majesty."

Chen Shimao sighed.

"We have been planning for the Western Region for so long. Can't we take it over and gain both fame and fortune?"

"Look at this."

As he spoke, he threw a telegram on the table.

Song Dingsheng took a look and finally understood what Qin Ming wanted to do.

"Not bad, not bad, then leave this matter to me!"

"I was going to give it to you, so go and rewrite the newspaper."

Chen Shimao patted his shoulder.

So he let him go.

Soon, the front-page headlines of newspapers in Daqian were all about the court’s response and the measures it was preparing to take.

The entire dynasty was in an uproar!

The newspaper said that the Western Region Allied Forces and the Shenmu Kingdom were trying to infect the Daqian border with cholera, and Daqian would lift the restrictions on the purchase of weapons for the Datong sect!

This move is a win-win situation.

After reading it, Song Dingsheng understood everything.

Qin Ming took the opportunity to tie the Western Regions coalition and the Shenmu Kingdom together, and Daqian was forced to fight back.

It makes sense both morally and logically.

The key point is that they didn’t send troops to directly wipe out the Western Region coalition forces.

Instead, he transferred everything to the Datong sect.

This way, we can not only arrange weapons for the Datong Sect, but also allow the troops transporting the weapons to join in as combat force.

After the Datong Sect successfully resolves the Western Regions, it can also legitimately be brought under its wing.

At that time, the Western Regions were still under the rule of Daqian.

Daqian will never be criticized.

Only then did Song Dingsheng finally understand.

Why didn't Qin Ming nod when they suggested launching a general attack?

Instead, they first laid out a buffer zone in the Western Regions.

He is still entangled with the Shenmu Kingdom until now, and it seems that everything is still within his plan.

As the news spread, the Western Region Allied Forces soon received the news.

They were the closest to Daqian and naturally received the news the fastest.

At this time, Qian Wanli just heard that Daqian was going to start providing weapons and equipment to the Datong sect, and he was so angry that he laughed.

"These bastards don't even bother putting on an act. Even if they didn't announce it to the world, wouldn't they have provided countless equipment to the major religious sects?"

"That's not the case, General. I heard that Daqian is already preparing to send chariots into the Western Regions."

When Qian Wanli heard the word "chariot", his face immediately turned ugly.

They were all troops from the Western Regions, and naturally had seen Daqian's chariots on the battlefield.

This is a large weapon with heavy iron plates on its body.

On the battlefield, he is simply invincible!

Even if hundreds of them risked their lives, they might not be able to destroy a tank.

Sometimes when they can't close the distance, even if they have hundreds of people, they are not enough for the tanks to kill.

Knowing how terrifying that thing was, Qian Wanli didn't dare to let the chariot enter the Western Regions.

After thinking about this, he gritted his teeth and gave the order:

"Linghu Yuan, lead your troops to blow up the railway tracks and attack the Daqian transport team!"
