Chapter 120: The Storm in the Court (9)
As the second prince and the secretary of the military department, he actually got the news so late, Li Meng's backbone couldn't help but feel cold, didn't the prince of waste wood establish any intelligence system?
It doesn't seem to be, if the old emperor is not here, it is really not easy for this second prince of waste wood to survive until now.
Li Meng immediately wrote tens of thousands of words that night: the necessity of modern communications and the establishment of a rapid reaction force.
Li Meng didn't fall asleep until after one o'clock in the evening, and rushed to the yamen of the military department with his masterpiece early the next morning.
"Lao Huang, this is something written by this king, let's do a pilot in the capital first. β
Li Meng directly threw what he had written to Huang Shi, and then lay on the chair and fell asleep until Huang Shilang woke up Li Meng.
"Lord Wang, most of the troops under the jurisdiction of our military department in the capital are on the outskirts of the city, and they are not allowed to approach the capital without orders, and large troops are not allowed to be mobilized, this so-called rapid reaction force is of limited use, and it should be more suitable for commanding the king or the Imperial Forest Army, but these troops have no right to interfere with our military department, and this modern means of communication, although the signal is transmitted quickly with flags and lanterns, it is not convenient to keep it secret. β
Huang Shi said that his face became more and more bitter later, and he still had no clue about the matter of the overseas trade guard, why did this prince start tossing again? Although the Yunjing garrison was under the control of the Ministry of War, there were a lot of various eyeliners of the military bigwigs, emperors, and prime ministers, and they could not move at will, and there were clear regulations on where to go and where they could not go, and the garrison in Yunjing City could not move around casually.
Li Meng seems to have thought simply, like the assassination operation yesterday, even if the garrison gets the news, it must first get an order before it can be mobilized, otherwise it can only be watched, unless the assassin kills in the barracks.
Li Meng thought for a while and said: "Let's promote it in the garrison on the outskirts of the city first, first compile and practice the flag language and lantern language, how to keep it secret, and then let this king think about it, it shouldn't be difficult, change the code language every day, first the code word, the code language is right to distinguish between the enemy and me, and the rapid reaction force, at least promote it in the garrison on duty......"
Li Meng's 10,000-word article seems to be far from enough, and the so-called lantern language and flag language can only solve the problem of short-distance transmission of signals, which is very restricted, and it would be nice to have a transmitter.
If there is a transmitter, you must first have electricity, electronic devices, the most important thing is electricity, with electricity you can build a telephone, this is simple, Li Meng as a professional maintenance soldier understands this piece, Li Meng's belief in not developing industry has been shaken a little.
Li Meng, as a five-scum maintenance soldier, can barely do some basic things, such as power generation, make a light bulb and coil, but it is difficult for him to do too complicated.
Li Meng was a little anxious, and his mentality was a little broken, and it wasn't until Li Meng returned to the palace that he figured out why.
It's a bit long to wait here, it's risky to wait until that black kid grows up, it seems that he has to ensure that he can live so long after being here for so long, this world is very dangerous, even the foreign friends of Makino Country dare to assassinate him, and a coup d'Γ©tat can kill 12,800 people.
This was also an era of stability in Makino Province.
What if it's troubled times?
The princes who were cooked at the end of the Ming Dynasty were not the worst, and in the later period, the most noble branches of the Ming Dynasty royal family had been wiped out.
Li dreamed about it and fell asleep again, and it was not until the gate of the palace that he was woken up by Dao Bai and just got off the sedan chair.
"There are assassins!"
Suddenly, Dao Bai shouted, Li Meng's ears were almost deafened, and before Li Meng could react where there was danger, Li Meng's ears suddenly heard the sound of breaking the air from far and near quickly approaching, rubbing!
Suddenly, Li Meng felt a sharp pain in his thigh, and wiped it! Li Meng suspected that the assassin didn't want to assassinate him at all, and that he had come up by himself.
A jet-black arrow shot a long arrow mark on Li Meng's thigh, and the white knife had already rushed to Li Meng's body, and then the nearby guards had already blocked Li Meng's body, and several shields blocked Li Meng behind, and the jet-black arrow had already flown into the ground and made a buzzing sound.
This is going to hit the nail on the head, and it can make Li Meng feel cold.
A large number of guards in the palace who heard the news also rushed out, and several well-skilled guards rushed into the distance.
Li Meng didn't even find out who shot this arrow from the beginning to the present.
Daobai hurriedly helped Li Meng stop the bleeding and bandage.
"Lord Wang, it should be not poisonous, first carry the prince into the palace, quickly block the nearby streets, and notify the military department and the commander. β
Li Meng touched the right thigh, sure enough, it was fine, although the mouth was long, it was the outer thigh, this was really forced by himself, if he didn't move at the time, the arrow should not be able to shoot him, and he was still one position away, but he definitely couldn't admit this kind of thing.
Li Meng pretended to be seriously injured and was carried into the palace by the guards.
Princess Xian, Lao Dang, several side concubines, famous doctors of the palace, and important stewards of the palace rushed into the dormitory like a swarm.
"Lord Wang, how do you feel?"
"Has the prince been poisoned?"
"Go and get the Imperial Doctor!"
Li Meng had no choice but to speak to comfort them, they were all fine, they hurt a little flesh and skin, and they were completely fine.
It didn't take long for the people commanding Yunjing, the imperial doctor, and the master Yunshui of the Senate Pavilion to come to visit Li Meng, and even Wang Denian came to visit Li Meng at the behest of Emperor Dingyuan.
"Lord, the emperor has been furious, and ordered to severely reprimand the various ministries of Gyeonggi, the Supervision Department and Dali Temple have bad luck this time, I am afraid that it will be a big deal, Lord Yun has a heavy responsibility, and it is unknown whether he can escape this time. β
Li Meng had already expected that there would be changes in the capital, but how loud the noise would depend on the meaning of Emperor Dingyuan, and when it came to responsibility, the military department was also somewhat responsible.
"The king is in charge, the father is worried, the security of the capital is a major matter, and our military department is also responsible, these days, this king is discussing a new alarm mechanism with Huang Shilang, I didn't expect someone to hit this king so soon. β
Wang Denian asked curiously: "Oh, the prince already has a new idea? A person like the prince who thought of a way in advance is the hope of my Muye country, and it is the mainstay of my Muye country." β
This Wang Denian has already touted it before he knows what method Li dreams of, but this kind of political affairs is not something that a eunuch like him should ask about.
