Chapter 23 Fight, fight, fight! ! !
  Anyone who offends my kingdom of heaven will be punished no matter how far away!

The mobilization order that Li Pingan had people hang on the Taiping Martial Arts Palace made many people in the world excited.

It's okay for ordinary people to be excited. After all, Shanhaiguan is thousands of miles away from Beijing. Even if they want to join the war, they can't really go there.

But the warriors are different.

Most of them have small fortunes, travel quickly, and are fully capable of going to the north.

As a result, countless warriors were delighted, summoned their friends and rushed towards the direction of the frontier battlefield.

As a result, on the second day after the mobilization order was issued, people in various places around Kyoto discovered to their surprise that all the warriors who usually idle around had disappeared overnight!

One can only imagine how powerful the martial arts sage Li Pingan is to appeal to warriors!
  Of course, although a group of idle warriors were mobilized to vent their excess energy on the frontier, the frontal battlefield still requires an organized army to be truly stable!

Under the extension of Li Ping'an's will, the huge state machine of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was running with full firepower.

During this process, the terrifying energy erupted from the state machine even frightened the controller Li Ping'an.

No wonder the reincarnated people like to sharpen their heads and become emperors in the reincarnated world. There are so many benefits to becoming an emperor.

As long as you ascend to that position, power, wealth, status... everything will be infinitely magnified under the authority of the king, as if there is nothing in the world that the emperor cannot do.

The taste of this kind of monopoly of power is simply more addictive than opium!
  ……

Northwest of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Border, outside Shanhaiguan.

Looking at the city gate that had been unable to be conquered for a long time, as well as the strong, muscular warriors standing on the city gate, the faces of the Hu and Barbarian coalition forces were ugly.

Originally, the plan of the Barbarians and Jackals was to suddenly join forces with millions of soldiers before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could react, catching him off guard.

According to their strategic plan, it would be great if they could break through Shanhaiguan quickly.

The armies of the two tribes can go all the way south to burn, kill and loot. Even if they attack the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it is not impossible to burn it down.

Even if they fail to break through Shanhaiguan, the coalition forces of the two ethnic groups only need to use superior force to suppress Shanhaiguan and force Shanhaiguan to be unable to rush for reinforcements, which can also achieve the secondary strategic purpose.

——Those military forts, cities, and villages surrounding Shanhaiguan will be unsafe if they lose the protection of Shanhaiguan. They send small groups of troops to plunder everywhere. At least they can go back and have a good year this year...

But they never expected that Li Pingan would move so fast, let alone that Li Pingan would play the warrior card.

This sudden group of warriors interrupted their strategic plan and put them in a dilemma.

beat? With these warriors helping to guard the city, ordinary soldiers would not be able to charge forward at all.

Even if they really charge forward, there will still be soldiers guarding Shanhaiguan!
  escape? If they did not put pressure on Zushan Customs, they would not be able to go to surrounding military towns to plunder spring food.

Hundreds of thousands of troops have been assembled in a mighty manner, and the daily consumption is an astronomical figure. If nothing can be gained, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
  Winter in the north has come earlier each time in recent years, so the two tribes are now in a very awkward situation.

Reason told them that they should lead the troops to evacuate if they could not hold off for a long time, but the situation forced them to grit their teeth and persist.

The battle at Shanhaiguan was particularly brutal.

When we reached the back, the barbarians and jackals who were roasted on the fire had no way out and attacked like crazy.

Without plundering enough food for the winter, even if they retreat, it is foreseeable that countless people will freeze to death and starve to death in the winter.

It would be better to die under the city walls than to die of hunger and cold. This is a life-and-death struggle, and both warring parties are red-blooded... Fortunately, time is on the side of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the longer it is delayed, the better it is for them.

A month later, the grain, grass and troops mobilized from the Central Plains arrived to pull down the front line, and Li Ping'an himself went to the battlefield in person.

The war has reached this point and is already a fight to the death.

Either the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would release some towns to be plundered by the barbarians, or it would have to fight to the end until one of the parties could no longer bear the casualties.

There is no third way beyond this.

Therefore, when it was discovered that Li Ping'an came to Shanhaiguan in person, the entire Shanhaiguan suddenly boiled.

There are more and more grains and reinforcements, and the emperor personally drives and conquers...

Is there anything better than this to show the determination of the imperial court to resist foreign enemies and the operation to boost the morale of the army?
  Li Ping'an looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the city at Shanhaiguan. From officers to soldiers, almost every one of them was injured.

Many of them have not slept for several days and nights.

He looked at these soldiers solemnly and said solemnly: "Today you defended the country from enemies, guarded the borders, and protected the people of the Central Plains from being massacred by barbarians. Your merits are in the present day and will benefit the future!"

"Anyone who died in this battle will receive five times the pension, and their wife, children, and children will be exempted from tax for thirty years, and they will be given priority in recruitment if they participate in the imperial examination selection!"

"Anyone who makes meritorious service in this battle will be promoted to a higher rank and will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"

Many of these soldiers were left over from Daqian. After Daqian destroyed the country, they changed their families and joined the Taiping Rebellion.

Therefore, they had experienced the era of Daqian's rule, and they also sacrificed their lives for the country. Under Daqian's corrupt rule, the soldiers who died did not even receive a tael of silver as a pension.

Not to mention others.

It was completely different from the current scene.

On behalf of the imperial court, Li Ping'an gave generous rewards to the soldiers who defended the city, which made them all kneel down, shouting for the Holy Spirit, and shed tears.

After doing all this, Li Ping'an turned to look at the troops who had arrived to increase their numbers - these were the firearms battalions equipped with fire energy after he became emperor, and they were the elite among the elite of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Then he glanced at the warriors next to him with scorching eyes and excited expressions on their faces. Li Ping'an exhaled and said, "The barbarians are still determined to invade our Central Plains. Tell me, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can just sit back and watch them trample on our rivers and mountains and disturb our country." People, are you robbing the people?"

The warriors and soldiers' eyes were red and they shouted: "No!"

"No!!"

"No!!!"

Li Ping'an was very satisfied and ordered his people to open the city gate, raised his arms and shouted: "How can you say that you have no clothes? I share the same robe with you!"

There was a warrior with blood boiling all over his body, and he shouted urgently: "Until the blood dries out, we will never stop fighting!"

The soldiers behind them, wearing armor and holding guns, cheered in unison, formed their military formations, and marched in unison: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Immediately, the Shanhaiguan city gate opened, and under the personal leadership of Li Ping'an, tens of thousands of firearms battalions and thousands of warriors rushed out.

What they are about to face is the barbarian tribes that have come out in full force and are already going crazy.
