After Hua Bi, the deputy consul of the Senate, left, Ji Qing's tea in the kitchen had not yet been boiled, she had already gone to lie down in the room, or Queen Tussauds came in silently with a pot of tea, and then left silently.

So Vice President Ji Qing is a first-class scientist, but definitely not a virtuous wife, hahaha.

When King Tussauds poured the tea later, Hua Bi looked a little embarrassed, and then pretended not to see anything.

Because the top of the empire still cares a lot about reputation, the empire's monogamy system is also strict.

But the fact that the crane in the cloud is a male pet is already well known, and all his unbearable history is well known.

"Is she asleep?" asked Queen Tussaud suddenly.

"I should be asleep. The crane in the clouds said, of course the two of them were talking about Ji Qing.

Queen Tussauds breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully lay down on the couch and rested on the lap of the crane in the clouds.

"What if I lose?" asked Queen Tussauds.

The crane in the cloud said: "There is no case. ”

....................................

Outside the Imperial Capital, in a training ground where the First Army was stationed.

The 10,000 elite samurai to use in military battles have been selected.

The 1st Army is 100,000 people, one out of ten.

Everyone's strength, speed, agility, absolutely to the extreme.

Equestrianism, spearmanship, and swordsmanship, all of which are top-notch.

A strong bow with one and a half stones is standard, and the accuracy of the bow and arrow is high at a distance of more than 100 meters.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

The rain of arrows burst out, and the wooden man who was the target was directly shot alive.

Even though they're strong enough, they're still training like crazy.

It's really a cold weapon army that is extremely powerful.

The ruling king left the palace and went directly to the barracks, training with 10,000 elite samurai.

Of course, it's not so much about training as it is about cultivating loyalty, cultivating tacit understanding, eating and living together, and cultivating comradeship.

And he chose another lieutenant general, that is, Major General Xin Zheng, because this person is the most determined enemy of the crane in the clouds.

Inside the barracks, King Wu and Major General Xin Zheng were munching meat and eating it.

"We will win. Major General Xin Zheng said: "I have read all the information of the crane in the clouds, and he has never fought. ”

Yun Zhonghe has indeed never really led troops to fight, and when he suppressed Shi Bian's rebellion, Li Huamei was always in command of the battle.

"He once used one word, on paper. Major General Xin Zheng said: "This time, he is just talking on paper. He had won all five of his previous challenges to the Empire, all of which had been based on his own ability. But military warfare is definitely not something that can be completed by one person. Relying on a group of people, I absolutely don't believe that a group of too many students, secretly training somewhere for a year, can defeat 10,000 imperial elites, it's ridiculous. Moreover, for more than a year, he was basically in the imperial capital, and he didn't have any time to train at all, and most of the time he was not with his so-called secret soldiers. ”

King Wu did not speak, still cutting meat and eating.

Major General Xin Zheng said: "It is precisely knowing that he will lose, so now no one in the imperial capital has talked about this matter at all, and they all pretend not to know, which is really ridiculous." ”

King Wu said: "Even if he loses this military battle, he will still become the king of Wenzhi." ”

Major General Xin Zheng hissed, "Why?"

King Wu said: "Zheng Que impeached us and framed Li Fu, so King Wen will step down and make room for the crane in the clouds." ”

Major General Xin Zheng said: "But Yun Zhonghe himself said, as long as he loses the military battle, he will exile himself." ”

King Wu said: "I hope he is a man of his word." ”

Major General Xin Zheng said: "Ruling King, since this is the case, then in this military battle, we must not show mercy to our subordinates, and we want to give him a humiliating defeat." ”

"A humiliating defeat?" said King Wu, "Of course, he must be given a humiliating defeat, so that he will never have the face to touch the military power of the empire again." ”

..............................

The next day, Yun Zhonghe left the imperial capital and headed for the east.

He built a secret military training base, in a no-man's-land area in the east, a semi-deserted mining area.

Soon after the founding of the Xinzong Party, he selected more than 1,000 of the strongest and most responsive people from several colleges and universities, set up secret cadets, and then sent them to this abandoned mining area for training.

And this abandoned mining area is the property of Queen Tussauds.

As soon as his carriage reached the east, he heard the sound of a tsunami in the mountains.

There were crowds everywhere.

Especially when entering Dongzhou City, Chidao was full of members of the Xinzong Party, all students and teachers of Dongzhou Academy, as well as ordinary citizens of the empire, who waved flags and came to greet the crane in the clouds.

The crane opened the window, leaned out, and waved to the crowd on both sides.

"Your Highness, the Eastern Archon is leading all the officials to meet you in front, and has already set up a feast for you in the Consulate. One clerk whispered, "Do you want to go?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "My current identity is only the leader of the Xinzong Party, and I have not held an imperial official position, so it is not appropriate to go to the Consulate at this time." ”

Cranes in the clouds have always been very well-behaved.

Last time, if it wasn't for the fact that members of the Shinzong Party went to besiege the ruling palace, he wouldn't have gone to the ruling palace at all.

Although he had been to the Consul Palace to give speeches before, it was an invitation, and he usually did not go to the Consul Hall or other places.

Although he is very close to the throne now, he is not a king after all. Do you go to the Consulate to visit or to inspect?

And would the consuls of the eastern realm regard the crane in the clouds as a visitor?

If the name is not right, and the words are not good, so simply don't go.

When they arrived at the central square of Dongzhou City, the Eastern Archon had already led hundreds of officials to wait here.

The crane in the clouds stopped the carriage.

"Meet Your Highness!"

"Meet Your Highness!"

The Archon of the East, with all the officials in front of him, came forward and saluted.

Yun Zhonghe stepped forward to shake hands and said, "Long time no see, Lord Xu." ”

"More than three years ago, the first time I saw His Highness, it seemed like yesterday. "Said the Eastern Archon.

Yun Zhonghe shook hands with the chief scholar, the chief samurai, the eastern general, and the chief keshi behind him, two of whom were members of the Shinjong Party.

There is really a feeling of making people happy, when the crane in the clouds first came to the New Great Yan Empire more than three years ago, he was still a lost dog and accepted the protection of the eastern realm. However, when he returned again, he was almost already the master of half the empire.

"Your Highness, we have set up a banquet for you. "Said the Eastern Archon.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for me to go now, I am very grateful for your hospitality, I understand." ”

Then, one by one, he shook hands with everyone present.

"Your Highness is hard. ”

"Your Highness is hard. ”

The last person was an acquaintance, Inspector Li Cod, this stern and warm-hearted eldest sister.

Yun Zhonghe stepped forward to hug him and said sincerely: "Eldest sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much, how is your family?"

Inspector Li had a somewhat strange and complicated reaction, as she was somewhat unable to overlap the images of cranes in the clouds.

First of all, he has been in contact with Yun Zhonghe for several months, although he doesn't know him very well, but he is really familiar with him, completely regarded as a lazy little white face, and because he has violated discipline, he has also been corporal punishment many times, and he has been reprimanded I don't know how many times.

But on the other hand, he knew the crane in the clouds in the god-making movement, shining brightly, like a god.

So for a long time, she couldn't tell the difference, and he even felt that this god-making movement was cheating, because the crane in the clouds he knew was not like this.

For this reason, she also contradicted herself and struggled with herself several times.

Her husband is a teacher and a fan of Yun Zhonghe's most avid fan, as are her two children.

Inspector Li Li debated with her husband again and again, she said that the propaganda of the crane in the clouds was faked, and this was a brainwashing and god-making movement, because the crane in the clouds she knew did not look like the legendary person at all, he was not so godly at all, he was just a likable ordinary person, at most he was very handsome.

She and her husband had numerous heated arguments over this matter, because he would never allow his wife to defile his idol.

So, the two of them definitely went to the imperial capital to listen to the speech of the crane in the clouds and listen to his playing.

Then, Inspector Li Cod also fell and became a follower of the crane in the clouds.

She also figured out that everyone is multifaceted. The crane in the clouds that he had been in contact with for a few months was real, and the mythical crane in the clouds was also real.

The crane in the clouds who came into contact with her showed her character. And the thoughts, talents and virtues of the crane in the clouds manifested in the god-making movement.

The crane in the clouds is still the crane in the clouds, but looking at him from different angles, you can get different answers.

As a result, Inspector Li Cod became a hardcore supporter of the crane in the clouds. Because she had seen the most unbearable time for the crane in the clouds, and even the crane in the clouds at that time was still beautiful.

"I almost forgot to get down to business. Inspector Li took out a few books and said, "There are four books in total, if Your Highness has time, can you sign them for me?" ”

"Good. Yun Zhonghe took the four books, signed their names, and sent a message.

The person who came to greet her did not have Zhu Yuyan, she should have been transferred to the imperial capital a long time ago, at first she was transferred to the first academy of the imperial capital, and then she was transferred to the party department of Xinzong, and now she is considered an administrative secretary.

After communicating with officials and celebrities in the east for about half an hour, the crane in the clouds once again boarded the carriage and headed for the secret military base.

....................................

This abandoned mine, within a huge valley, is entirely the private property of Queen Tussauds and is inaccessible to anyone.

And by this time, it had become a small military exclusion zone.

Before the group arrived, the crane in the cloud had already been intercepted, and after taking out a special pass, they were allowed to enter.

In the whole mine, all kinds of galloping roads are criss-crossed.

It's like a small town, with dense houses and all kinds of smelters and manufacturing workshops.

All kinds of steam machinery, piled up.

In addition to more than 1,000 soldiers, there are hundreds of scientists, thousands of engineering technicians, and thousands of craftsmen.

Yun Zhonghe entered the underground research center first, and listened to the report of the Celestian.

"Your Highness, according to your recipe, we have mass-produced several high-intensity explosives, mainly trinitrotoluene. "And more than five conventional shells have been made, all of which are mixed explosives." Because of the development of electricity, there are also a small number of thermite shells, some phosphorus shells, and napalm shells. ”

This is the benefit of the New Great Yan Empire, which is highly developed in productivity and has a large number of scientists who are already very mature.

As long as they break through the technology tree, they can learn and evolve themselves.

And there are countless large-scale steam machines, powerful smelting technology, and countless workshops.

Therefore, the artillery and guns envisioned by the crane in the clouds can be manufactured in batches in less than a year. If it was in the Great Xia Empire, I really don't know how many years to build an industrial base.

Yun Zhonghe said: "A large number of exercise bombs, are they ready?"

The base's chief objector, said, "It's been made, but it's not in very many quantities. ”

The crane in the cloud said: "It should be enough." ”

..........................................

"Assemble!"

"Line up!"

With a loud roar, more than a thousand soldiers lined up in a neat line.

Because they are training every day, they are exposed to the wind and sun, and they are no longer thin and tender, so at this time, it is no longer obvious that they are too students of several colleges.

Soon after the formation of the New Sect Party, a large number of super-fanatics appeared, who attacked the mansions of imperial officials again and again, and also tried to assassinate the die-hard officials who opposed the New Sect.

And this group of young people is not opportunists, but real idealists, all very good students in several major academies.

So, the crane in the clouds gathered the group of people and asked them if they would like to be the seeds of the new army of the Empire.

Without hesitation, they agreed, and were sent to the secret base for fresh training.

For a year, I trained twelve hours a day.

I don't know how much sweat was shed, I don't know how much blood was shed.

Of course, their physical fitness, as well as their personal strength, are still inferior to the elite warriors of the empire, after all, they have been practicing martial arts professionally for more than ten years.

But the main content of the new army in the clouds is guns and artillery, as well as explosives common sense, ballistics, and so on.

And, of course, basic physical training.

This is probably the first truly highly educated soldier in this world, and each of them is from a top academy.

There are too many students in it, and even the Ph.D. of the empire has it.

After arriving at this secret base, they realized how important their mission was.

It really opened the door to a new world.

All sorts of artillery, all sorts of guns.

Their fanatical ideals seem to have a goal all at once.

This is the army of the future, this is the war of the future, this is the ...... Future.

So, they went crazy studying.

They took part not only in training, but also in the creation of guns, the creation of artillery.

Every day is a tireless shooting training.

The Empire was too rich in supplies, and although bullets were precious, each person could still conduct two hundred rounds of shooting training per day.

Although artillery shells are precious, each artillery piece can be tested for dozens of shells every day.

........................

Yun Zhonghe looked at the rifle in his hand and couldn't put it down.

"This is the Great Yan Type 3 rifle, with a magazine of 15 rounds and an effective range of 500 meters. The Chief Scientist said, "The semi-automatic rifle drawings you gave us, we have started to build experimental guns, but they are not stable enough"

Yun Zhonghe raised the rifle and began to aim at the target three hundred meters away.

Holding my breath, I entered a very special state of mind.

In an instant, time seemed to slow down, and the distant target seemed to be pulled closer, and the crane in the cloud aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!

All of them hit the bull's-eye, and immediately everyone present cheered, but they didn't expect His Highness Yunzhonghe's marksmanship to be so accurate.

Yun Zhonghe didn't expect that when he was on Earth, he spent part of his time abroad, so he often played with guns, but he was not so accurate.

In addition to the improvement of his personal ability, the key is that the quality of this gun is good, the material science of the New Great Yan Empire, and the forging process are too awesome.

He couldn't help but sigh again, thanks to the empire's strong productivity and strong manufacturing power, so that he didn't need to slowly climb the technology tree, and he didn't need to start with a primitive musket.

At present, the power of this rifle is no less than that of the earth in the nineteenth century. In 1866, the United States was already mass-producing repeating rifles.

....................................

The live-fire drill of 1,000 recruits began in earnest.

Before the military battle, Yun Zhonghe conducted the last thorough test of this army.

"Your Highness is right in front of you. An officer shouted: "All of us should know our mission, we are the seeds of the new army of the Empire, and we represent the future." ”

A thousand soldiers, neatly and straight, stood straight.

"You've been training really hard every day, or at least you've been training really hard, and now it's time to validate your results. The officer directly took out his pistol, aimed it at his head and said: "I won't say anything, if the effect of live ammunition is not good, then I can't explain it to His Highness, and I will deal with myself by military law." ”

The crane's face trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.

This new army is too fanatical and so fierce.

Today is the first time that the 1,000 New Army has conducted an actual combat demonstration to the crane in the clouds, that is, a 400-meter target.

400-meter shooting, in fact, is a bit excessive, and the shooting training of modern armies is generally 100 meters and 300 meters.

At 400 meters, it's too aggressive.

And the officer actually aimed a pistol at his head and committed suicide if the grades were not good.

It's good to have fanaticism, to have paranoia, but not to go too far.

Of course, the crane in the clouds will not discourage them now.

"First team, standing shooting, two hundred meters. ”

"Ready!"

"Launch!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"First team, kneeling shooting, two hundred and fifty meters. ”

"Launch!"

"First team, horizontal shooting, four hundred meters. ”

"Launch!"

The crane in the cloud held a telescope and stood on a high place, watching the live fire of this new army.

Behind him, several leaders of the New Sect also watched with binoculars, and were immediately stunned.

"Bang ......"

Next, this army staged a 100-meter shooting, a 150-meter shooting, and a 300-meter shooting.

There is also the limit of 500-meter shooting, which is a specialized sniper.

After the guns were fired, it was time for the artillery to be test-fired, which were 500 meters of shooting, 800 meters of shooting, and 1,000 meters of shooting.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The targets made of mud houses were shattered one by one under the bombardment of artillery.

The few people who followed the crane in the clouds were completely amazed.

I couldn't believe what was happening in front of me.

After a long time, one of the senior members of the new sect said: "I originally thought that we had no hope for this military war. But now it seems that the victory is completely certain. Because it's a completely different way of fighting, unseen and unheard of. It's shocking, but in this way, what is the need for the Empire's hundreds of thousands of legions to exist?"

The crane in the cloud said: "No, their existence is of great significance. The Empire's hundreds of thousands of legions are already very good, whether it is strength, speed, toughness, or the will to fight, they are all top-notch. Once they get their hands on the guns, it will only be stronger. So this military battle is not a battle at all, but a gorgeous performance, and we will completely tell the entire empire and all the legions with a crushing victory that the military revolution has come and they need to transform. ”

"Your Highness the Crane in the Clouds, all live-fire exercises are over, please instruct. The officer handed over all the reports to the crane in the clouds.

After reading it, there were only two words in Yun Zhonghe's mind: awesome.

It really deserves to be the most fanatical group of people, who are highly educated, highly qualified, full of ideals, and willing to put in their efforts, so the results of this shooting are simply great.

Absolutely top notch.

Also coming was Hua Bi, the deputy consul of the Senate.

The old man was so excited that his blood boiled, and he trembled: "Your Highness, this army is the future, and this army can represent the highest force of our empire. Now I'm relieved, completely relieved. In this military battle, we don't have to make second-hand preparations. ”

The crane in the cloud was stunned: "Second hand preparation?"

Hua Bi said: "I'm very ashamed to tell you that after the last time I met you, you said that if you were defeated, you would definitely exile yourself." So the Senate has lobbied several military giants, intending to put pressure on the martial king, as well as the First Legion. Intend to create a draw so that you don't have to go into exile and stay in the imperial capital as the ruler of Wen. ”

I...... I......

The crane in the cloud was completely speechless, this group of people actually planned to carry out a dark box operation, and they planned to force the First Army to draw?

Deputy Archon Hua Bi said: "Your Highness, rest assured, we have not yet lobbied and put pressure on the First Legion. This time, I followed you to visit this new army, just to know the bottom of my heart. Now this lobbying will definitely not happen, and I am extremely looking forward to the military battle in ten days, and your new army will completely amaze the entire empire. You are right, in this military battle, you will completely conquer the Imperial Legions. ”

The crane in the cloud stretched out his hand and said, "Encouragement." ”

But this time, the deputy consul did not stretch out his hand to shake the crane in the clouds, but bent down and said, "Obey the order of His Highness." ”

Before, Lord Hua Bi would have shaken hands with the crane in the clouds, but now he doesn't even shake hands, and he has already shown the etiquette of a monarch and a minister.

Because in his opinion, in the next military battle, the crane in the clouds will definitely win.

Moreover, it is an unprecedented gorgeous victory, which will give the entire empire and countless legions an unprecedented visual shock and spiritual impact.

And after the end of this battle, it was the crane in the clouds who ascended the throne as king.

First is the dictatorship, and it is likely that he will become the first emperor of the new Great Yan Empire in the future.

Therefore, Lord Hua Bi from this time on, he must be careful about his etiquette, the handshake is too peaceful, and he can't do it in the future.

..............................

Two days later!

Yun Zhonghe led more than 1,000 new troops, dozens of artillery pieces, and hundreds of truckloads of military supplies to leave this secret base and march north along the gallop road.

Even tall horses are a bit struggling to drag these supplies.

The horses were larger than the Shire horses, and even three meters tall, and they were immensely powerful, and a cart was dragged by five giant horses, and they still drove on the gallop, but they did not travel at a speed of more than twenty kilometers per hour.

"It's a blessing that the empire has His Highness. Looking at the new army sitting upright in the big carriage, full of high-spirited spirit, Lord Hua Bi couldn't help but say.

Yun Zhonghe said: "It's really fortunate that I have a new Great Yan Empire. ”

His words were also infinitely emotional, if there was no New Great Yan Empire, not to mention anything else, it would take at least two or three months to transport these artillery pieces and materials to the imperial capital more than 3,000 miles away.

But in the New Great Yan Empire, there are galloping roads everywhere, countless giant horses, and first-class forging technology to create first-class carriages, which are more than 3,000 miles away, and it only takes four days at most.

However, it is still too slow to use large horse-drawn carts, and it is good to just transport people, but when it comes to transporting large supplies, it still needs trains.

Under the leadership of Ji Qing's team, the first steam train of the New Great Yan Empire has started in the laboratory.

It is believed that it will not be long before the first experimental drive can be carried out.

This is the new empire, a new empire full of boundless hope.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Lord Huabi, there is a sentence I have always wanted to say, but I have never said it. There is one of the most important reasons why I want the Empire to send troops to the East, I hope that the war will not spread to the New Great Yan Empire. Because this is our foundation and our hope for victory. Only by not being invaded by the flames of war can the new empire continue to produce guns and artillery far away, and can continue to train a powerful army to save the world and destroy the Great Salty Demon Country. ”

....................................

Four days later!

The crane in the clouds led a thousand mysterious new troops into the imperial capital.

The thousand recruits got out of the wagon, dressed in brand new uniforms, with new military caps, leather boots, and rifles on their backs.

"Let's go!"

At the sound of an order, a thousand new troops entered their camp.

The movements are very neat, the military uniform is very good-looking, and the spirit is also very good.

But he didn't wear a steel helmet or steel armor?

Wouldn't there be no protection at all? If you take a sword and get slashed, it's over.

Suddenly, the people of the empire became even more pessimistic about this military war.

Then, everyone kept silent about this military war.

In that case, even if he loses, His Highness Yunzhonghe still has a way out. It's a big deal that after he goes into self-exile, he will build another ruling palace in the place where he is exiled, and let him be the king of Wen there?

........................

Time is like water, and time is like a shuttle.

May 19th, it's officially here!

The military battle agreed upon by the crane in the clouds and the king of Wu has officially arrived.

A battle that will decide the fate of the empire has officially arrived.

(Next chapter around eleven p.m.)

..............................

Note: In the last ten hours, there is still hope for the top six, and I don't want to give up yet.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you have a ticket, please help me rush it again, please.
