Chapter 358: Open the city gates, welcome the Prime Minister to enter the city!
“I did not expect to be betrayed so much without any gratitude, but who knows…”
Lin Beifan angrily said, “The Darro Royal Family is actually so heartless for a little benefit. They tore up the alliance between the two countries, seized the property of our people, and even expelled them from their own home. This is simply unreasonable! The rage in my heart is hard to extinguish, and it must be quelled with blood! Therefore, we must deploy troops, conquer Darro, and suppress the anger!”
“Conquer Darro, suppress the anger!”
“Conquer Darro, suppress the anger!”
The furious cries of the large army behind Lin Beifan.
Moro anxiously said, “Lord Prime Minister, all of this is the royal family’s doing, it has nothing to do with us!”
“I didn’t know before, but now I know! However, you’re currently keeping the city gates closed, pointing swords at me. Do you intend to be my enemy?” Lin Beifan shouted.
“Lord Prime Minister, we’re also very dissatisfied with the royal family and don’t want to be their accomplices! As for weapons…” Moro shouted loudly, “Quickly put down your weapons, all of them, don’t let Lord Prime Minister misunderstand!”
The weapons fell to the ground with a clatter.
“What about this city gate!” Lin Beifan pointed to the front gate.
Lord Prime Minister, I have another question now!” Moro asked eagerly, “If we surrender by opening the city, can we continue trading and doing business between the two countries as before? Will Great Wu provide us with jobs and resources?”
The other soldiers and civilians all stared anxiously at Lin Beifan, feeling extremely uneasy.
Lin Beifan shook his head slightly.
The hearts of the crowd sank.
Is Lord Prime Minister still angry? Are our good days gone?
At this moment, Lin Beifan smiled and said, “How could it be the same as before? It will only be better than before!”
Darro’s commoners: “Huh? Better than before?”
Everyone looked at Lin Beifan in confusion. Lin Beifan laughed and said, “The main purpose of our trip is to eliminate the treacherous Darro royal family! But after removing the Darro royal family, who will govern Darro? Naturally, it will be us from Great Wu! By that time, you will all be part of Great Wu, all of you will be our own people. Can you say we would mistreat our own people?”
“That’s right!” the commoners of Darro brightened their eyes.
“At that time, we will not only restore trade, production, and education, but also enjoy the good policies that only our Great Wu citizens can enjoy!”
“For example, we will build new water facilities here, transport a large amount of fertilizer to promote food production! We will also provide you with free rice seeds for increased production and income, solving your food problem!”
“Wow~~” The eyes of the Darro commoners lit up even brighter.
“As long as you work in the fields, in the first year, you’ll be tax-free, and all the harvested grain will be yours! In the second year, you’ll only need to pay half of the grain tax, which is half of the normal amount! In the third year, you’ll pay even less, definitely less than a tenth!”
“Wow~~” The eyes of the Darro commoners grew even brighter.
“Help you repair bridges, expand river channels, and make your activities more convenient!”
“Wow~~” The eyes of the Darro commoners became even brighter.
“And there are incentives for childbirth as well. As long as you have more children, you’ll pay fewer taxes, and the more you have, the lighter your burden will be!”
“Wow~~” The eyes of the Darro commoners became even brighter, they understood this part very well.
“There are just too many good policies, I can’t even list them all! You can go and inquire for yourselves, you’ll find out soon enough! By the way, what should I call that general?”
“Lord Prime Minister, I’m called Moro!” Moro responded immediately.
“Hello, General Moro! If you surrender, your gains will be the greatest!” Moro was taken aback, “Huh? My gains will be the greatest?”
“Of course!” Lin Beifan smiled and said, “Think about it, if Darro joins Great Wu, you, as a general of Darro, will become a general of our Great Wu! You can receive a salary from our court, fight in battles and make achievements in other places, rise step by step. Isn’t that a great opportunity?”
“Yes, a great opportunity!” Moro nodded repeatedly.
“Now, there’s a huge achievement waiting for you!”
“What achievement could be that big?” Lin Beifan smiled and said, “Right now, if you lead the entire city’s population to surrender, it will reduce casualties on both sides! You’ll not only secure a better future for the Darro citizens but also help Great Wu expand its territory. Isn’t that a significant achievement?”
“Exactly…” Moro nodded in excitement.
The soldiers of Great Wu were all stunned, dumbfounded!
he battle hasn’t even started, and not a single person died, yet Sha Hai City surrendered?
It’s too swift, too hasty, isn’t it?
Everyone turned their gaze toward the red figure at the front of the army, their eyes filled with reverence.
Lord Prime Minister is amazing, just a few words from his mouth made the other side surrender!
Zhao Kuo, who was among the troops, watched this scene with great excitement, his fists clenched tightly. “I finally see it. This is the legendary strategy of winning the war without fighting!”
His gaze turned toward Lin Beifan, his eyes filled with passionate admiration, “Lord Prime Minister, you truly possess the supreme wisdom of military strategy! He’s a genuine military deity, a saint of warfare!”
At this moment, under everyone’s watchful eyes, General Moro led a group of soldiers, walking towards Lin Beifan with a happy smile on his face.
Before Lin Beifan, he bowed and said loudly, “I am General Moro, paying respects to Lord Prime Minister!”
The people behind him echoed in unison, “General pays respects to Lord Prime Minister!”
Lin Beifan exclaimed, “Generals, please, no need for formalities! From now on, we are all on the same side! I hope that in the future, we will stand by each other, be loyal to His Majesty, and serve Great Wu!”
“Yes, Lord Prime Minister!” everyone responded joyfully.
“Lord Prime Minister, please come inside!” Moro led the way ahead.
Along the way, the Darro soldiers welcomed them, standing straight and full of spirit, as if they were welcoming fellow comrades rather than enemies.
The Darro commoners on the outer layer cheered and rejoiced, their faces beaming with smiles, as if they had won a victory.
Witnessing such an inspiring scene, Lin Beifan couldn’t help but wave his hand, and said, “Comrades, hello!”
The entire city’s population chimed in unison, “Hello, Lord Prime Minister!”
Lin Beifan continued, “Comrades, you’ve worked hard!”
Once again, the entire city’s population echoed in unison, “Serving Lord Prime Minister!”
Lin Beifan waved his hands repeatedly, “Wait, it should be ‘Serving Her Majesty!’”
Everyone once again said, “Serving Her Majesty!”
“Very good!” Lin Beifan was very satisfied and continued loudly.
