Chapter 1126: Issue an order and settle it at 1047

The Imperial Capital of the Dahua Empire, after Zhao Ji’s departure, Li Mingshun continued to hold on for a few more days before he led the remaining troops in a panicked retreat from the city district that no longer had any value to defend.

To be frank, fighting within the Imperial Capital had already destroyed many of the ancient city’s neighborhood buildings, and Li Mingshun felt like a sinner, having subjected the city to unnecessary losses.

Watching as tranquility returned to the city districts, the Fengjiang rebels began maintaining order within the city, everything started to return to calm, and the local civilians finally saw the peace they had longed for.

Some curious folks ran to the suburbs to watch the Fengjiang troops advance southward and westward. These troops were equipped with a considerable number of vehicles and tanks, which seemed more capable of combat than the previous Dahua forces no matter how one looked at them.

After all, these troops had been strengthened to some extent, having acquired weapons and equipment drawn from the surrendered hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which were naturally in vast numbers.

Backed by the Blackwater oilfields to the north of Dongqing, these Fengjiang troops had an ample supply. Since the Blackwater oilfields surrendered early, their facilities were not destroyed; they continued to produce continuously, but now the gasoline produced was supplied to Zhao Yu’s Fengjiang army.

“It seems… that bastard Zhao Ji will never come back,” a merchant, seeing the unending line of Fengjiang troops, said to a friend beside him.

His friend nodded in agreement with his view: “Indeed, look what he did when he came back to the Imperial Capital, right?”
