The face hurts hotly.
Even when his father was there, he never hit him, never moved a finger against him, let alone slapped him in the face.
If he looked in the mirror now, he believed that he would be able to see a bright red slap mark on his face in the mirror.
Twelve years old, not too big, not too young.
The Son of Heaven was crowned at the age of twelve, and Li Hong performed the crown ceremony at the age of twelve, which means that he is actually officially an adult.
But at this age, even the children of poor families may not be completely truly sensible.
At this age, children have a rebellious mentality.
They also have self-esteem and a good face.
The slap of mother and son made him feel that he had never been so humiliated, and he had never tasted such pain.
These days, he quarreled with his mother, he shouted that he wanted to be pro-government, he shouted that he wanted to avenge his father, and he shouted the oath of three arrows.
The generals and princes also said that they would be loyal to him, and he felt that he was already a real emperor.
Unexpectedly, his mother's slap made him fall from the sky to the ground, fall into the mud, and be embarrassed.
He cried.
He couldn't bear to cry, he didn't want to cry, when his father died, in front of his spirit, he secretly swore to the three golden arrows that he would never cry again in this life, and he would be an adult from now on.
But at this time, the tears couldn't help but flow, and they couldn't control it at all.
Tears slid down the corners of his mouth, warm and salty.
The tears flowed uncontrollably, but he was still trying his best to keep himself from crying.
He told himself that he was already a manly man, that he was the emperor and the Son of Heaven, and that he would conquer the Americas in the future, return to the Central Plains, fulfill his father's last wish, and eradicate the usurping rebellious ministers and thieves Zhang Chao and the Bashang Zhang family.
How could he cry.
There are so many ministers watching.
But why didn't these ministers stop the queen mother, why did they let a woman interfere in politics, and let a woman beat the emperor.
"Enough, crying and crying like a child, how can you have half the majesty of an emperor, put away your tears, don't cry."
Wu's cold voice came, Li Hong looked up, his mother at this time was cold and ruthless like never before, she was so strange, the mother who loved him so much was like a stranger at this time.
I hate her.
Li Hong picked up his sleeve and wiped his tears, his eyes squinted at Wu, he already regarded her as an enemy in his heart, this hateful woman, she embarrassed me, I hate her.
Wu shook her head, ignoring her son's vicious gaze, which chilled her.
But at this time, she didn't have the heart to care about her son, who was still too young and didn't understand anything.
With three golden arrows, he really thought that he was really an emperor, and he really thought that those people in the Central Plains were waiting for him to go back.
He didn't want to think about how his father could have been kicked out if that was the case "King of England, King of France, at this juncture, you two have to support the overall situation and support our orphans and widows."
Xu Shiji and Wei Chigong had just led their troops to clean up the restless Yin tribes in North America, uprooted several tribes and slaughtered them, punished and taught several tribes a lesson, and forced the chiefs of the rest of the tribes to send their children to Jinshan as hostages.
The turmoil in North America caused by Li Shimin's death was ruthlessly suppressed by them as soon as it first appeared.
Originally, it all went well.
But it wasn't until Shangguan Yi arrived with an expeditionary fleet of more than a hundred ships.
Shangguan Yi sent someone to deliver a letter, which was signed by the Admiral of San Francisco and the commander of the Jinshan Bay Fleet of the Dahua Empire.
And the header on their header was written on the American Duke Li Hong of San Francisco Road of the Great Chinese Empire, the German Lady Wu Shi, the British Duke Xu Ji, and the French Duke Chi Gong.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.
In recent years, North American Datang has also trained a fleet, but it is more appropriate to say that it is a fleet, but it is better to say that it is a coast guard or a merchant fleet.
There were quite a few ships, but they were few, and there was no sharp equipment such as naval guns.
Shangguan Yi swaggered over and easily blocked Jinshan Bay.
Even the port of Jinshan, the capital of the country, was also blocked, and the sails, the tall masts, and even the gunboat's gunsoft windows were opened, and the guns of the ships were aimed at them.
With the range of these naval guns, with their power, they can easily bombard Jinshan Harbor, and even directly bombard the palace.
Now Shangguan Yi is still waiting for their reply.
The expeditionary fleet was parked at the mouth of the harbor, and with the telescope it could be seen directly from the royal palace pavilion on the deck of the ships, the sailors were drying their clothes and fishing.
It's very leisurely, where is there to fight, it's simply a vacation.
This gesture made Xu Ji and Wei Chigong very annoyed, and they didn't treat them back too much, and Chi Guoguo despised them. can be angry, but helpless.

With their ships cowering in the harbor, they couldn't get close to Shangguan Yi's fleet at all, let alone the little stone thrower on their shore.
I think that when he Li Ji was powerful in Wuling, and the 100,000 army entered Lingnan and attacked all the way to the city of Guangzhou, Shangguan Yi was just a hairy little cub, and now he has actually brought an expeditionary fleet to the city and blocked him in the port.
If he also has a decent fleet in his hands, no, there is no need to have a fleet, as long as he also has a batch of coastal defense artillery such as Dagang in the Central Plains, he must definitely let Shangguan Yi, a little rabbit, taste it.
It's a pity that although he and Wei Chigong are now in charge of the 100,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty in North America, it is also used to beat those Yin tribes, and in this place, there are a thousand light cavalry on horseback, which can already be called elite troops.
But it was up to these people to resist the expeditionary fleet in the harbor, not to mention that his naval guns could not carry it.
Even if they put down a three-to-five thousand marine division from the ship, the North American Tang Army could not withstand it either.
The main weapons of their Tang army were spears, and the only long-range weapons were bows and arrows, and even slingets, slingshots, and javelins.
Heavy weapons, that is, a little bit of a catapult.
Armed to the teeth, full of plate armor, holding sharp horizontal knives, Mo knives, and even flintlock arquebuses, even the infantry can be matched with the Dahua army with two horses, what do they fight, everyone still carries a few grenades, and even each company is equipped with a small steel cannon.
The firepower of a company can beat them hard in a battalion.
The situation is stronger than people.
"I didn't expect them to come at this time."
Li Ji finally had to say helplessly.
When Li Shimin raised the army, everyone thought that Zhang Chao would definitely send troops to conquer as soon as possible, but many years later, Li Shimin was in North America to fight in the east and west, and even once engaged in a long march back to the Central Plains for a northwest expedition, but people ignored it.
Now that Li Shimin has been dead for only a year, this expeditionary force has actually come.
As soon as it came, it was such a large formation, with more than 100 ships, and several battleships, and in total, this expeditionary force must have at least 20,000 or 30,000 people.
It's really worth looking at them.
Li Hong gritted his teeth and said to Li Ji, "Taishi, what I'm afraid of them to do, it's just a hundred boats and one or two thousand horses."
Taishi, you were known as the god of war, Taifu was also known as the god of martial arts, we still have 100,000 soldiers and horses, occupy the right place and the time, no matter how we fight, we will win. ” Li Ji sighed slightly.
"Your Majesty, there are no longer many soldiers, and although the Chinese army is small, it is far superior to us in terms of training and equipment.
To put it mildly, Shangguan Yi didn't want to fight, if he really wanted to fight, he would attack it directly, and San Francisco City couldn't stop it for ten days.
Although we have 100,000 troops, we are scattered all over the country, and even if we are urgently recruited, it will take at least a month or two to gather them all, and it is difficult to quench our thirst at all.
You're welcome, we're stuck in our homes now, and we're in danger. ” Wu said, "Taishi doesn't have to pay attention to him, he doesn't understand anything."
Now it's up to us to decide whether life or death is at stake. ” Wei Chigong admired the Wu family's decisiveness very much, at this time, there was no grinding and pinching.
"In the opinion of the Queen Mother, what should we do?"
Wei Chigong asked rhetorically.
Wu Shi glanced at Wei Chi Gong, this Dharma King is black and coarse, but he is by no means a rough person, and the bold and careful old black is definitely not simple.
Sigh.
"To be honest, the mourning family thinks that the letter sent by Shangguan Yi is very well written.
The analysis is very clear and thorough, and in the war with the Central Plains, we are hitting stones with eggs, and there is no chance of victory.
Before, the Central Plains ignored us, but now they are here. ” "Queen Mother, you can't do this, the bones of the first emperor are not cold, how can you discuss the surrender of the enemy here."
The Wu clan didn't pay attention to Li Hong at all.
If you can't even survive, what's the matter?
Following Li Shimin's wandering, the Wu family is no longer the simple martial artist of the past.
"The Queen Mother believes what the letter says," Li Ji asked.
The mourners believed it, because the letter was written in the words of Emperor Dahua.
I was raised in the Zhang family since I was a child, and later I worshipped him as my father-in-law.
Later, although I entered the palace and followed His Majesty for more than ten years, I knew the former emperor and knew him better. ” "I know very well who my stepfather is, and his words are worth believing.
If nothing else, just say that in the past few years that His Majesty has raised troops, he has not sent a single soldier, which can explain everything. ” Li Ji and Wei Chigong both knew for the first time that the Wu family was still Zhang Chao's righteous daughter, but they were relieved when they were surprised, after all, the Wu family grew up in the Zhang family, and Zhang Chao had raised the Wu family for more than ten years, and it was normal to recognize her as a righteous daughter.
Seeing Wu's resolute attitude, in fact, Li Ji and Wei Chigong breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
No one wants to hit a stone with an egg.
"The old ministers and others obey the decision of the Queen Mother."
Wu glanced at his son, and then spoke.
"Send someone to see Shangguan Yi, and say that we are willing to return."
In order to show his sincerity, Wu pointed to his son Li Hong, "Take Your Majesty with you when you go." ” Taking his son Li Hong as a hostage, this is definitely the greatest sincerity, and the emperors of the Tang Dynasty in North America were directly sent to Shangguanyi's ship first, what else is Shangguanyi not to believe. t1706231537:
