Chapter 139

Five months.

Leapfrogging from autumn to spring and missing out on the whole winter.

This result is unexpected, and it is understandable.

After learning about the passage of time, the tension in Zhang Xun's heart dissipated slightly, and then he told the maid to find Lancôme and ask her to find him in the study later.

Then Zhang Xun went straight to the study.

He needed to find out as soon as possible what had happened in the past five months.

The best way is, of course, to memorize it, but he can't wait, and asks others, first, the people in the palace know limited information, and secondly, it is too abnormal.

So he simply chose to watch the recital.

The recitals in the study were arranged by date, arranged by his cronies, and Zhang Xun quickly found the documents of the past five months, placed them on the table, and began to read.

Each note is a request for decision, and there are several thick stacks here, not counting events where it is not necessary to formally draft an official document to ask for his advice.

It can be seen that in the past six months, a lot has really happened.

Zhang Xun quickly flipped through the folds.

Started reading five months ago.

The previous part is still peaceful, mainly the military official report on the border friction, as well as the matter of the metallurgical overhaul.

The provocations and temptations in the West have never stopped, but have become more and more frequent.

In terms of policy, Ying Yang cautiously chose a defensive attitude and tried not to give the western border a chance to create disputes.

Naturally, this was to buy time for the creation of new weapons and the raising of food and grass.

At the same time, under Zhang Xun's orders, the residents of the border, that is, the area of the small town of Locke, began to evacuate under the organization of local political officials.

Evacuation is of course difficult, and no one wants to leave their homes.

However, life is significantly more important than land.

So, despite some twists and turns, most of the residents of the border were successfully transferred.

On the other hand, the upgrading of the metallurgical industry is also in full swing under the promotion of Prime Minister Levi.

The full swing here is an excessive adjective, and it is actually a policy of loosening on the outside and tightening on the inside.

Because of the military order incident in Magic Mountain, Burton's face was disgraced, and this old minister of the military department was also self-aware, and without waiting for Zhang Xun's order, he took the initiative to say that he was unwell and wanted to ask for leave to recuperate.

Luke naturally agreed.

As a result, under various interventions, although there was basically no change in the military department, the part of the military industry was quietly transferred from the functions and powers of the military department to the head of the finance department, and the prime minister took charge of the work and the finance minister assisted to jointly promote the creation and production of these new weapons.

On the one hand, the alchemists and Yingyang craftsmen who have made enough effort know that this matter is related to the survival of Yingyang and the safety of each of them, and on the other hand, they are obsessed with new technologies, coupled with rich material incentives, Yingyang's metallurgical industry is suddenly like a motor full of electricity, and it began to run wildly.

In addition, negotiations with the Eastern Kingdom and the Northern Border have been generally smooth, with the Northern Border expressing a neutral attitude and the Eastern Border stating as usual that it will continue to support the new king in accordance with its support for the first king of the eagles.

Negotiations with the southern border were also carried out in a step-by-step manner, and a lot of valuable time was gained.

The old weapons in the hands of Moshan were also sold to the east and north under the operation of Levi, which reduced Yingyang's financial burden a lot.

And after reading this part of the music, Zhang Xun finally got the most critical one.

“…… Day and night, the third army in the west of the border Rock town suddenly launched a large-scale attack, our army's local garrison was insufficient, and the other side took advantage of the situation to occupy the town of Locke, the front-line general urgently transferred troops, and the border war broke out on all fronts at dawn......"

It was also at this time that the memory was finally compressed and transmitted, and a stream of memory poured into Zhang Xun's mind, and he suddenly sat down in the chair and closed his eyes to read.

It took a long time to read.

When Zhang Xun finally opened his eyes sweating profusely, he saw Lancôme standing quietly on the side with great concern, and she was still holding a snow-white cloth handkerchief in her hand, which was a towel.

"Your Majesty, I saw that you were pondering, so I didn't bother. Lancôme spoke.

Zhang Xun exhaled, pulled the towel and wiped the sweat on his head, his eyes showed exhaustion, reading these memories took him a lot of effort.

But the answer he got was enough to cheer him up!

Eagle Hawk wins!

In my memory, after the war on the whole front, Yingyang was initially downwind, and could only passively resist the ferocious attacks of the soldiers in the west, but with the initial panic passed, those soldiers who had undergone a period of formal training gradually stabilized their positions, and under the dispatch of the front-line commander, the Yingyang army gave full play to the advantages of geography and dragged the line to death.

And after withstanding the initial and most ferocious wave of attacks, the two sides entered the formal rhythm of the war.

I have to say that the combat power of the Western Territory is undoubtedly stronger and very well prepared.

However, when the war began to stalemate, new weapons began to be shipped to the front in batches.

Although they are both cold weapons, the high-quality steel created under the guidance of modern and mature metallurgical technology theory is different from the backward metal smelting in the other world.

Not to mention the sword, it is to say the armor, the defensive power of the new armor is so that the soldiers of the western border cannot break the defense with a sword stab, not to mention that the sharpness and tenacity of the new weapon have made an epoch-making leap?

So it was natural that as the new weapons began to slowly arm the Eagle Yang Army, the advantage of the Western Territory became smaller and smaller, and the war dragged into the winter, and when the heavy snow fell, the cavalry in the Western Territory was completely ineffective, and the Eagle Yang Army, which became more and more brave in the war, suddenly became more and more powerful.

Even though the materials, numbers, and command were all lagging behind the Western Kingdom, in the end, they successfully counterattacked and attacked, and achieved a big turnaround on the whole front, not only completely beating back the incoming Western Frontier Army, but even directly capturing the two territories on the other side of the border, which belonged to the Western Territory!

If it weren't for the lack of national strength of Eagle Yang, it was really unable to expand the results, and the results would have been even more brilliant at this time.

"I'm worried about the fall of Yingyang, who would have thought that this battle would be won?"

Zhang Xun was so happy in his heart that he almost wanted to jump up, and his joy was beyond words.

"Your Majesty, you look ...... Happy?"

Lancôme was stupid, her eyes were shining, just because the "normal" Luke rarely smiled, and the normal King Luke rarely showed all kinds of human expressions in his daily life, only when he needed to, and the rest of the time, even a smile was very much in line with the requirements of the etiquette, but it was difficult to make people feel real and close.

Only when Zhang Xun arrives will Luke become more vivid.

So, just this smile, fell into Lancôme's eyes, and the portrait, which had faded for more than five months, suddenly became gorgeous again.

"Of course, of course I'm very happy, how can I not be happy after a big victory?

Zhang Xun stood up and made no secret of his joy.

"But...... Wasn't it true that you were smiling when you first learned of the victory the other day, but I remember that you were just smiling at the time. Lancôme said stupidly.

Zhang Xun was slightly embarrassed, it was always difficult to explain, but fortunately, he was the king, so he didn't need to explain, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Can I have a long reflex arc?"

"Anti-...... Shoot...... Arc ...... What do you mean?"

Lancôme blushed a little inexplicably.

Zhang Xun waved his hand, said that it was not important, and then glanced at the hourglass in the room, only to wake up that he didn't have much time, there was no time to waste, and he needed to do something quickly.

So he immediately ordered: "Okay, the envoy for peace talks sent by the King of the Western Realm has already arranged for him to wait, right?"

"Yes, you said you wouldn't see him for a while. ”

"Well, in this way, pass my order down, please enter the palace immediately, I have something to talk to him!"
