I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 708: The Sadness of the Tartar Emperor

Because he was completely defeated this time, and his brothers were definitely not willing to miss this opportunity.

Sure enough, just when the Tartar emperor was daydreaming, a guard suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened...something bad has happened..."

"What's the matter?" The Tartar emperor frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty," the guard replied in a trembling voice, "The chieftains of all the tribes have gathered in the Council Hall and seem to be forcing the emperor to abdicate."

Hearing this, the Tartar emperor raised his eyebrows, stood up and said, "Let's go to the Council Hall."

The Council Hall is not far from the Imperial Palace, but it is very magnificent. It is where the emperors of the Tatar Dynasty held meetings.

When the Tartar emperor walked into the Council Hall, it was already packed with people.

"Hadir, Sabsu, Amin, Doze, what do you want to do?" asked the Tartar emperor in a deep voice.

Everyone knelt on the ground and praised respectfully, "Long live the emperor."

"Huh, what do you mean?" The Tartar emperor became increasingly uneasy.

Hadier Rule crawled to the Tatar emperor and cried, "Your Majesty, we don't want to rebel, but the Qing Dynasty is finished and we have no way to survive."

"Woo woo..." Halder howled loudly, like a dog that had lost its home.

Sabusu also knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, we really didn't mean to do that. It was all Bater's fault. He said he was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and we had to obey him. But we...we didn't mean to rebel, wuwuwu."

This is a big man who stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is my fault, it has nothing to do with them. I bewitched Haldir, I beg for punishment!"

The Tartar emperor knew his responsibilities. His name was Hada, and he was the governor of Baghdad, responsible for commanding the entire Hada Palace.

Hada was Hadir's nephew, so they were relatives. Therefore, the Tatar emperor valued Hada very much and even conferred him the title of Beile, which was considered quite generous.

But what happened today made Hadir extremely disappointed.

The Tartar Emperor said coldly: "Humph, if you hadn't bewitched them, they wouldn't have dared to rebel. You are the culprit."

Hada kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time."

"Your Majesty, I…I am also guilty."

Sabsu also knelt down and said, "It was me who bewitched Hadir. Your Majesty, please punish me alone. It has nothing to do with others."

The Tartar emperor was slightly moved. No matter what, Sabusu was his confidant. If he was killed, his prestige as the emperor would surely be greatly reduced.

But if Sabsu is forgiven, these tribal chiefs will rebel.

He hesitated for a while before slowly saying, "Sabusu, considering that you have fought for me in many battles and have made great contributions, I will spare your death penalty and punish you with thirty strokes of the cane."

Thirty lashes of the cane is already a very light punishment.

Sabusu was overjoyed and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this time, Hadir started to cry out for injustice again. He cried, "Your Majesty, they were not bewitched, but they just followed the wind and did not deserve to be forgiven."

The Tartar emperor glared at Hadir and shouted, "Shut up."

He turned to look at the chiefs and said, "My dear ministers, I spared Sabusu's death sentence because he had done so much for me. I hope you can learn from his mistakes and stop helping the tyrant."

Everyone responded, except for a tribal chief named Zaruk who stood up.

The Tartar Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked calmly: "Zaruk, do you have anything else to do?"

Zaruk bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we are now poor and cannot pay taxes. Moreover, we need food and cattle and sheep as supplements, otherwise..." "I have already made arrangements for this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Zaruk bowed, he sighed and said, "Not only that, we are still short of weapons and equipment, and all the horses in our alliance have been killed or injured. Even the herdsmen are unwilling to provide us with horses. Now our riding and archery skills have deteriorated seriously and we are vulnerable."

"Report! The Tang army has already stationed thirty miles outside the capital."

The eunuch's hurried report made the Qing emperor and important officials feel despair.

"Forget it, forget it. For now, the only solution is for the emperor to go up to the city wall."

The Tartar emperor made up his mind and immediately took all his troops to climb the city wall.

In the distance, the camps of Li Zheng's troops were connected into one black mass. Su Dingfang stood beside Li Zheng, and Liu Lin and Liu Sheng were also eager to fight.

"Your Majesty, the Tartar emperor has climbed the city wall. It seems that she is really panicking!" Su Dingfang laughed softly and said, "I suggest that we take advantage of the situation to attack the enemy's capital."

"Maybe we can even capture the Tartar emperor, which would be a great win."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "Well, since she sent us the head, let's accept it."

"Report, Your Majesty, one hundred thousand stragglers appeared in the northeast!"

"Report, more than 10,000 enemies appeared in the south to harass our supply lines."

"Report, the Qing army attacked our right wing camp but failed."

As battle reports came in one after another, Li Zheng remained calm.

Although he still only brought an army of 100,000 to besiege the capital of the Qing Dynasty, he was very confident.

Moreover, he did not attack immediately in order to attract scattered soldiers from other tribes of the Qing army to come to defend the capital, which would also make it easier for him to capture them in one fell swoop.

After all, although their artillery and flintlock rifles are powerful, they are also very expensive. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether they fight against 100,000 people or 200,000 people, so why not wait until the enemy gathers more?

"Your Majesty, should we launch a siege?"

Li Kan asked respectfully: "He is extremely excited at the moment. He has never thought of such an honor. If he can capture the capital of the Qing Dynasty, it will be an unprecedented achievement!"

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "No, my goal is to drive the Qing Dynasty out of China completely and make China as rich and prosperous as the West. As for these lands, I plan to reward them to the meritorious soldiers and let them guard this fertile land."

Li Kan was stunned for a moment, then a look of shame appeared on his face, and he said shamefacedly: "Your Majesty is wise, and I am stupid."

Li Kan was a little confused. He only thought about expanding the territory but forgot the miserable living conditions of the Han people. If the Chinese people could have such affluent living conditions, why would the Han people fear the Tartars?
Li Zheng patted his shoulder and said, "Rest well. I don't think these people will give up harassing the camp."

"promise."

"Your Majesty, we swear to defend you till our death."

All the generals expressed their loyalty, but Li Zheng just smiled faintly.

Why does he need protection?
It's just that he's too lazy to take action. If he had delivered a few sets of damages first during a war, wouldn't all the credit for the victory have been taken away?

You still have to leave some experience for your subordinates.

On the city wall, the Tartar emperor nodded and said, "Okay, I believe that all of you are loyal and patriotic warriors."

There was a hint of sadness in the words of the Tartar emperor.

He knew he had lost!
