【382】Tong Yan Wuji (2nd Update)
"With the new weapons provided by the crown prince and princess, as well as light armor, I don't plan to send another army to Licheng." The emperor said.
Old General Hong, who had recovered from the astonishing achievements of the two highnesses, groaned and said, "Does the emperor think that no matter how many people the Red Blood Country sends, with those things that the crown prince and the crown princess have taken out, the 60,000 soldiers of Licheng can withstand it?" ”
"Not bad." The emperor nodded in approval without hesitation.
Although several other old ministers were also shocked by the achievements of the crown prince and the crown princess, 200,000 against 60,000 was not just something that those ten people could deal with with one enemy and ten, right? Even if calculated according to the results of this time, the 60,000 people who survived their side could only deal with an army of less than 100,000.
Once the number is exceeded, it may not be a problem to resist for a while, but it will inevitably cause your losses to increase exponentially.
Light armor is easy to use, but once the other party knows that it is useless to attack the body, it will definitely attack the limbs or the head and neck, and the damage rate will be increased again, this time the casualties of more than 1,000 people, to put it mildly, it is also because relying on the light armor is the first time to take it out, the Red Blood Country is defenseless, and they don't know that they have such a good thing.
However, the attack power of the new weapon called the pistol is quite good and can be used, but General Situ also said on the fold that the number of pistols is not much! You can't take out more than 10,000 pieces at once like light armor, and at most there are less than 100 pieces, what is enough?
The elite team may be able to defeat ten with one pistol, but the fifty people of the elite team, plus the people around the prince and the princess, even if it is an exaggeration, they can deal with about 10,000 people, right? And what about the rest of the **10,000 people? What to do?
The emperor could also see it, and understood the worries of the ministers, in order to calm their hearts, he didn't plan to sell Guanzi, and said with a calm smile: "It is true that at present, even if there are pistols and light armor, if the Red Blood Country sends 100,000 troops, it is fine, if it is 200,000, 300,000, the 60,000 people in Licheng seem to be completely insufficient, but how do you know......"
His gaze leisurely swept over the worried faces of the ministers in front of him, and he hooked his lips and said, "If the crown prince and the crown princess can take out these two good things, can't they take out the treasures that can occupy the left and right sides of the greater range?" ”
"What!?" The ministers were in an uproar, and among them, the old general Ruhong and Mrs. Wen, who had the fastest brains, were even more heartbeat.
Since the emperor even said this hypothesis, it means that it is not actually a hypothesis, but that the crown prince and the crown princess really have some secret weapons that they have not come up with, right? To be precise, rather than the crown prince and the crown princess taking it out together, I'm afraid the real source of the thing is the 'grassroots' princess Qin Shuang, who is quite legendary in the eyes of many people in the capital today.
Since Qin Shuang's crown princess and the identity of the proprietress of Ruyi Village were exposed, many dignitaries in the capital have known the origin of this princess, and the general process of making a fortune.
Although she was not from a wealthy background, the fertilizer that could increase the production of the imperial court, as well as the many things that were convenient for life in Ruyifang, where business is very prosperous in Beijing, could not help but make people ignore her, and in only three years, she earned most of the businessmen, and even many officials looked at it hotly, and the business methods that were beyond her reach were also amazing.
Since its opening, Ruyizhuang has come up with a lot of unique things that others do not have, as long as it is a little smarter, you can imagine, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was penniless when he was in exile among the people, and he was once a beggar, and later met the princess to improve his living conditions, and lived a good life with the princess.
Of course, it can be understood that many good things in Ruyizhuang will not be made by His Royal Highness the Prince, because the matter has basically been known to outsiders, and now the important ministers of the court also know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had lost his memory, and on the premise of not remembering the past, he can't expect the prince to rely on his own knowledge to study these things.
All kinds of signs can prove that once the crown prince and the crown princess come up with something good, it must be from the hands of the crown princess.
There are many precedents, in fact, they should have thought that even if the crown princess still has some more shocking good things that have not been shot, it is not surprising, after all, it is a person who will always leave some hole cards for himself, and he will not take out all the good things casually, right?
It was also at this moment that General Hong thought more profoundly and from the bottom of his heart that probably only Qin Shuang was really qualified to stand by the side of the prince, become a well-deserved princess, and become the mother of a country in the future, not only by virtue of his strong family background and some little education or talent that is actually not very useful, but can really make a great contribution to the Xuantian country, and can make the people of the whole country improve their living conditions because of her, except for such people, Who could say that she is more qualified to be the crown princess?
It is Hong Xiaoxiao, the granddaughter of General Hong, who cannot be compared, General Hong sighed gloomily in his heart, but Taifu Wen felt great kindness to the prince for being able to get such a princess who is beneficial to the Xuantian Kingdom!
Thinking of the fact that his niece and nephew were familiar with the people of Ruyizhuang, the person who married, and his nephew and son-in-law were the cousins of the crown princess, he couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face.
And when General Hong and Taifu Wen were slightly distracted, the other ministers also asked about the details, but as for the weapons that Qin Shuang might take out next that were more powerful than pistols, the emperor didn't know about it, and it was impossible for her to demonstrate the power of the bomb to him when she was in the palace, so she couldn't alarm everyone else in the palace?
Moreover, although all the important ministers present at this time, and the idle people were all retired, it was not completely guaranteed that the news would not leak out for the Red Blood Country to know, the emperor
Go out and let the Red Blood Country know, even if the emperor really knows the power of the bomb, it is impossible to tell them in much detail, as long as they settle their hearts first, don't let them think that once the Red Blood shoots the army and presses the border, the border pass of Licheng will definitely not be able to hold it.
I can't ask if the specific crown prince and the crown princess have any ideas to repel the red-blooded army, the ministers can only change the topic and ask questions about food, grass and military supplies, some time ago, the emperor did secretly prepare a lot of things, but there are only a few ministers who know about this matter and some other ministers that he can fully trust, and now more than half of the ministers in front of him do not know.
It is also thanks to the fact that since the fall of the Lu family, there has been a lot of chaos in the capital for a while, and it has not been able to completely calm down, and the ministers are busy focusing on the official positions that have been vacated after the fall of the Lu family.
Today, when he said this, the emperor said bluntly: "The palace banquet has been over for more than two months, why do you think I have issued such a holy decree now, so that the Red Blood Kingdom can give us an explanation?" ”
"This ......" The ministers looked at each other, they didn't think about this problem, it's just that they thought that it was because the fall of the Lu family involved too much, and the capital was a little chaotic, to put it bluntly, there was a bit of internal strife and it was too late to clean up the external troubles? Listening to the emperor's meaningful tone, isn't it?
The ministers didn't say anything, and the emperor also knew what they were thinking, shaking his head and saying: "Although the matter of the Lu family has caused quite a stir in the capital, it has not even been able to divide the energy to ask the Red Blood Country for an explanation. ”
More than half of the Lu family's family business has been operated by Liu Tingfeng in the past few years, and it didn't take much effort to get it, and the officials of the Lu family also had a list here with him a few years ago, as long as Prime Minister Lu Cheng stepped down, the officials who should be taken down should be taken down, and the officials who can be on top don't say that it is enough, and the missing part will not cause much turmoil.
To be honest, although it may be quite sad for Prime Minister Lu Cheng, who doesn't know where he is now, and doesn't even know whether he is alive or dead, the fall of the people in the Lu family's lineage is really not as shaking the foundation of the Xuantian Kingdom as outsiders imagined.
The prime minister above 10,000 people under one person sounds very terrible, and the fall does not seem to have a small impact on the prince of a country, but in fact, the minister is the minister, even if the power is great, in the case that the king has long been on guard and prepared, his downfall just needs an opportunity, and when the opportunity comes, the previous emperor's preparations can be taken out to stabilize the situation.
The capital may be chaotic for a while, but this kind of situation is completely within the control of zhì, it will not cause too many problems, and it will not affect the top priority of the confrontation with the Red Blood Country.
Wen Taifu turned around and chewed on the emperor's words, and then slightly looked at the smile on the emperor's face, and said tentatively: "Could it be that in the past two months, what the emperor has been secretly preparing is to prepare the military rations needed for the war with the Red Blood Country?" ”
The other ministers were suddenly shocked, looked at Taifu Wen in surprise, and soon seemed to think of some rumors they heard some time ago, and raised their heads in shock, and even General Hong faintly noticed that something shook his body.
"Yes, I have been secretly preparing food and salary for two months since the end of the palace banquet, and when the crown prince and the crown princess left, they had already brought everything they had prepared, and at this time everything had been sent to the Licheng military camp." The emperor smiled schemingly: "With those military salaries, even if we Xuantian and Red Blood have been fighting him for a year and a half, we don't have to worry about the shortage of food and grass at all." ”
In fact, he has been preparing food and salary little by little without attracting attention in the past two months, and the total amount can at most allow the soldiers of the Licheng military camp to last for three months, plus the military supplies that were already there, it will be almost half a year at most, but Qin Shuang clearly told him before leaving, as long as she is there, she can only hold on to the military salary for three or four months, and she can let it last for a year, two years, or even longer, not to mention that during this period, when the war really spreads throughout the entire Xuantian Kingdom, he can also raise food and pay again openly and honestly.
Moreover, the battle on Licheng's side, according to Qin Shuang and Ah Chen's predictions, would not last that long at all, no more than three months at most, or a month.
Recalling the blueprint for the future that the Xuantian Kingdom would usher in after winning the Red Blood Kingdom that Qin Shuang had described to him before leaving, Xuan Yan, who had been the emperor for more than ten years, couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement.
General Hong, Mrs. Wen and others didn't understand the emperor's words, and when the prince and the princess left, in order not to attract too many people's attention, they were clearly traveling lightly, and it is said that there was only one carriage that didn't look big and not so eye-catching, and they didn't take much luggage at all.
Could it be that the things were arranged on the road, and they would only take those rations and go to Licheng after leaving the capital?
However, how much can the Licheng military camp hold on to for a year and a half without shortage of food? It is impossible not to attract attention along the way, so why haven't any of them received similar news?
"You Aiqing don't need to worry about Li Cheng." The emperor calmed down a little, and then said with a confident smile on his face: "You just need to remember that as long as the crown prince and the crown princess are still sitting in the Licheng military camp, the red blood will not want to invade even an inch of my Xuantian territory and take advantage of my Xuantian!" If there are no accidents, in the next few days, you will only have to wait with me for the good news that will keep coming. ”
All the ministers, including General Hong and Taifu Wen, were a little surprised that the emperor was so determined, as if he had seen the scene of their Xuantian Kingdom's victory, obviously if the Red Blood Country sent a large army, even if Li Cheng was not short of food, he would still be at a disadvantage.
Sure enough, is the secret still in the so-called 'secret weapon' that the crown prince and the crown princess have not yet taken out?
Both General Hong and Mrs. Wen couldn't help but ponder whether this so-called 'secret weapon' was really a weapon, or some kind of strategy that could enable their soldiers to win the situation
The stratagem of the situation?
In any case, since the emperor has such confidence in the crown prince and the crown princess, as well as the people in the Licheng military camp, it is not easy for them to say some frustrating words as courtiers, and let others lose their prestige.
……
"Reunion, do you miss the emperor's grandfather?" After discussing things with the ministers, the emperor went straight to the prince's east palace, and walked into the main hall just to see two lovely little grandsons sitting on the soft carpet and playing puzzles.
When the emperor saw such a picture, his heart suddenly softened.
"Grandpa!"
"Grandpa!"
Two crisp voices sounded at the same time, one was more lively, the other was a little calmer, but without exception, both of them put down the thin pieces of wooden puzzles they were holding in their hands and ran towards the emperor.
The emperor hugged the two children in his arms, kissed them left and right, and asked with a doting smile: "Do you want to be grandpa?" ”
"Thought!" Tuan Tuan Reunion also kissed the emperor twice, the soft touch can make the emperor feel so watery, just because of the secret agent sent to the Red Blood Country with a communicator about the Red Blood this time to send 200,000 troops to attack the Licheng military camp and a little gloomy feelings have also been greatly relieved.
After all, although he was quite confident in front of the ministers, he looked like he was winning, and he was not completely free of worries in his heart.
It's not that I don't believe that the crown prince and the crown princess can succeed, but I'm afraid that they are at the border, the sword has no eyes, and if they accidentally think of themselves, how sad the two little babies will know when the time comes.
The emperor asked Tuan Tuan Tuan Yuan what he had done today, and while they were talking, the queen also stood up and saluted the emperor, and said some interesting things about the two children today with a smile.
"Did your father and mother send a message today?" The emperor suddenly asked.
Tuan Tuan Tuan Yuan turned his head to look at him, and Yuan Yuan said, "No, my father and mother didn't say good night to us last night." ”
Since leaving the capital, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen have been communicating with them every day without interruption, saying good night before going to bed at night.
is still a group of people, and said to the emperor: "Daddy and mother must have played kissing again yesterday, so they forgot about us." ”
Emperor: "......"
Queen: "......"
How powerful is the lethality of Tong Yan Wuji!
