Chapter 204: Race the World
Xie Jingxiu conducted a real-fire exercise with the newly built and launched ships and newly made cannonballs outside Lifeng Harbor, which was like a crack in the sky, shocking the entire Sea Realm City, and quickly spreading to the surrounding area.
Everyone said that the lord of Xianshan Island has a heaven-given artifact, which can resist thunderstorms and winds in the sky, and has the help of heavenly soldiers.
In the Liang Kingdom, not no one knew firearms and artillery, but they were far from being so powerful, and even because of their clumsiness, they could not play much role on the battlefield.
Since Xie Jingxiu occupied Nameless Island, he began to collect talents from all over the mainland and transported them to the island in a steady stream. Almost with the strength of the country's elite craftsmen, he has devoted himself to research for so many years, and once he unveiled the results in front of the world, it caused such a shocking and sensational effect, adding a layer of jealousy and surrender to his name as the owner of Xianshan Island.
Xie Jingxiu was obviously quite satisfied with this result.
Xiao Yu can also be regarded as having seen the highest level of making a fortune in a muffled voice.
He has medical skills beyond the times, and he has been practicing medicine for so many years before he can be worthy of the reputation of a miracle doctor with a wonderful hand to rejuvenate. Look at His Royal Highness King Rui, if you don't move, you can make a big news when you move, and you can make headlines for months.
Xiao Yu could already imagine what an incredible mythical story this exercise in Lifeng Port would be woven into by the wisdom of the people in the next rumors.
On the second day of the exercise, Xie Jingxiu gathered 300,000 army soldiers and horses, landed from Lifeng Port, officially raised the banner of King Rui, and became the fifth force vying for the world.
The reason why it is the fifth is that in the past few months, in addition to the Yuwang faction, which was the first to raise troops, there are two other forces from the people who have ignited the flames of war from the south and the west respectively, swept the city with lightning speed, and are rapidly approaching the capital.
The leader of the rebel army in the south is surnamed Ma, who was originally from a large family, served as the commander of a state, was in charge of local military affairs, and has always been conscientious, and he also has a group of capable ministers under him, who manage the military affairs of a state in an orderly manner.
After King Yu raised his army, he saw through the weakness and weakness of the court, and the faction of King Yu was just a rabble, so there was nothing to fear.
Such an incompetent two-party team can compete in the world, his subordinates are clearly strong and strong, and there are many talents, how can he not earn a great deal for himself?
Therefore, Ma commanded Shi to kill the local governor and turned the other way around.
The west side of the army was born in the grass, was originally a thief who fell into the grass, and now the leader is the original king of the mountain, a rough man who does not know a single character, but he moves faster than everyone, all the way to the siege of the city, recklessly, has actually hit the periphery of the Beijing Division, and the court army led by Lin Xian, the prince of the Marquis of Yuebei, has officially handed over.
Because King Yu was blocked in Huaiqian and couldn't move, he was actually taken the lead. wanted to make a detour, but Zhou Zhao, who was stationed in Huaiqian, repeatedly led troops to intercept him, and each time he beat him back to his original place, so that he could not move forward a single step.
King Yu was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, and under the escort of his soldiers, he came to the outside of the city wall several times and scolded Zhou Zhao.
The capital is about to be beaten down by a bandit mountain king, and the emperor's throne is about to be replaced, not to mention that this surnamed Zhou is going back to save the driver, what's the point of blocking him here? !
Zhou Zhao's reply was only three quick arrows, if it weren't for the desperate protection of the guards around him, he was afraid that King Yu would be penetrated through his head, so he could only retreat behind the formation in a gloomy manner, and never dared to approach the city wall again.
Xie Jingxiu's army was uniformly dressed in Xuan-colored Kai armor, and as soon as they landed, they quickly fought the Territorial Sea Realm City with the momentum of breaking bamboo.
Sea Realm City has actually been a vassal of Nameless Island for a long time, and the livelihood of the people depends on Xie Jingxiu's commerce. said that it was a siege, but in fact there was not even a trace of spark, and the chief officials in the governor's mansion in the city were driven out of the government by their officials and officials, half-pleading and half-forced.
He was originally Fang Xiang's man, and Fang Xiang happened to be still in the city at this time, so he returned to Fang Xiang's side in disgrace.
Fang Xiang finally saw Xie Jingxiu again, but this time his identity was very different.
He looked at the majestic young man in the hall with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but think of the taciturn child in the past.
"The Holy God has exterminated the traitorous ministers, and now he is working hard to make the country prosperous, and everyone in the world sees that he is not the last tyrant who is mediocre and unkind. His Royal Highness raised troops today, and he could no longer get rid of the stigma of being a rebellious minister and thief. Has His Highness really figured it out? โ
Xie Jingxiu didn't say anything, just asked the guards to present a few battle reports and send them to Fang Xiang's hand.
Fang Xiang looked at it and looked surprised, in the battle report, it was the deployment of several large armies approaching the capital.
"Give this letter to General Lin, he naturally knows how to act." Xie Jingxiu asked someone to send another letter sealed with fire paint, which was still in Fang Xiang's hands.
Fang Xiang looked at Xie Jingxiu: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" โ
If he had no intention of saving the capital, why did he send a battle report and a letter to Lin Xian? Lin Xian is the most capable general who can protect the capital now, Xie Jingxiu wrote to him...... What do you want to do?
Fang Xiang looked at the envelope in his hand, and felt that it weighed more than a thousand catties for a while.
"These battle reports and letters, this king will hand over all these battle reports and letters to Fang Xiang." Xie Jingxiu looked at Fang Xiang's expression and smiled.
Fang Xiang hesitated, but finally brought these things back to his residence, and immediately ordered his subordinates to set off for Beijing.
The letter sealed with fire paint, he didn't open it after all, but directly handed it over to Lin Xian's hands.
Xie Jingxiu's 300,000 soldiers and horses are not superior in numbers among several forces. There were obviously still people on the nameless island, but Xie Jingxiu divided several fleets and went to various places by boat through the Grand Canal.
Several large ships were loaded with all the food and medicinal herbs that had been hoarded in the past few years.
Because of the chaos caused by the war in the Liang Kingdom, it is almost forgotten that natural disasters were still raging during this period, and the displaced people had to bear the blows of natural disasters in addition to suffering from the war.
The fleet sent by Xie Jingxiu did not kill people for war, but for disaster relief. Of course, the Xuanjia soldiers holding โกโก on each ship are the main force of disaster relief, and there are neatly stacked boxes of shells below the deck.
When the army under the banner of King Rui left Sea Realm City, the fleet had already sailed to their respective destinations according to the route planned by Xie Jingxiu in advance.
All operational orders were issued within three days and were executed quickly. Xiao Yu followed Xie Jingxiu's side, and he was inevitably refreshed again and again. Every time he stared at His Royal Highness King Rui, who was resolute and resolute, he deeply felt that this man was really more handsome than ever!
At this time, the two were sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, and after a day's rapid march, the army was now stopped in a wilderness and was encamped.
"Look at how leisurely you are on weekdays, how many other arrangements have you made?" Xiao Yucai didn't believe that these matters were all improvised. It is necessary to be well thought out and prepared in advance, and many things need to be prepared many years in advance to be able to be carried out so quickly and effectively.
Xie Jingxiu was wearing a light soft armor, his long black hair was tied at random, he sat behind the table with a big sword, holding a book in his hand and reading it leisurely, and he didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard the words, but said idly: "It's not worth mentioning." โ
Xiao Yu grinded his teeth, this guy is really not honest.
Make a relaxed look like a light weight on your face, who knows how to work hard behind your back!
"What are you looking at?" Seeing that Xie Jingxiu was so cold, Xiao Yu simply sat down beside him and reached out to pull his book. I saw two big characters on the top of the cover, Zhuangzi.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jingxiu pulled the book back very nervously, covered it tightly, and turned his head to stare at him with a stern face: "Yu'er, don't disturb this king's reading." โ
The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth twitched. What he read was neither a military book nor a war report, and this famous article, which would be designated to be memorized in full in a Chinese textbook in the future, was a real idle book at this time. His Royal Highness King Rui is so strict what to do
Definitely quirky.
Xiao Yuhu stared at him suspiciously, and raised his hand: "Give it to me." โ
Xie Jingxiu shook his head firmly.
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Give it or not." โ
Xie Jingxiu: "......"
coughed lightly, and finally turned it in honestly.
"It doesn't really matter." Xie Jing corrected his color and said, "It's all items that have been seized from below, and this king can take a look at it casually." โ
Xiao Yu ignored him, opened it casually and looked up and down, and suddenly made a big red face.
Where is this Zhuangzi, it is clearly a disguised spring palace picture.
It's still two men, and the painting skills are still very good, and the most important thing is that the two characters in the painting are a noble son and a small doctor. Although the face is not painted like him and Xie Jingxiu, the identity is also very substitutional!
"Which rascal drew this!" Xiao Yu slammed the book shut, annoyed and angry, "It's just immoral!" โ
It turned out that Xie Jingxiu's serious reading book just now was this! This disciple!
Xie Jingxiu pulled the book out of his hand and put it on the table, pulled Xiao Yu into his arms with one hand, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, don't be angry, this king has already dealt with it." It's just that I saw that the book was good, so I stayed for details. โ
"What do you want to talk about?! No wonder you have such a thing in your army. Xiao Yu pointed at his chest hatefully, "You are crooked on the upper beam and crooked on the lower beam!" โ
Xie Jingxiu very easily put Xiao Yu's fingers pointing at him in the palm of his hand, leaned into his ear and whispered something, which made Xiao Yu's cheeks that had just faded red again.
"You...... You ......" Xiao Yu raised his eyes and glared at Xie Jingxiu, but was thrown down by Xie Jingxiu.
Although the march was arduous and the responsibility was heavy, His Royal Highness King Rui still continued to treat himself as always.
