Chapter 1111: East Becomes West (104)
After drinking several pots of wine in a row, Tan Feng was already slightly drunk, and he sang loudly in order to knock on the plate, Tan Kang sat quietly opposite, listening to Tan Feng's passionate singing, looking at the tears that slipped from the corners of Tan Feng's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, his young master thought very highly of himself in this life, and very few people could be admired by him, but he met his natural opponent Gao Yuan, and in this life, he was pressed to death by his opponent, and he saw that the room for turning over was getting smaller and smaller. Although the young master has now become the general of Great Qin again, Tan Kang knows that the young master's heart is unhappy. It can really make him happy, or only when he defeats Takato.
But is it possible? As the situation developed, Tan Kang felt more and more vague about this goal. The strength of the opponent made Tan Kang feel scared in his heart. Not to mention the armies on both sides, just to say that as long as you go out, you can see the overwhelming Han goods, Tan Kang felt cold, Tan Kang is not an ordinary ordinary ordinary people, following Tan Feng, he learned knowledge that many people can't learn in their lifetime.
"Tan Kang, you said that in this life, can I still defeat Gao Yuan?" Just thinking about it, Tan Feng on the other side had already stopped singing, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Tan Kang and asked.
"Yes, yes!" Tan Kang nodded again and again, "Gao Yuan is just a little lucky, the young master is talented, as long as the time comes, defeating the opponent is just a palm."
Tan Feng rolled his eyes, "Tan Kang, you are not my subordinate, you are my family, is it necessary for you to slap me like this?" I hope to hear what you mean from you."
Listening to Tan Feng's words, Tan Kang's heart was moved and sad, the Tan family, there were not many people who could escape with Tan Feng, like him, the whole family fell into Jicheng, in the past few years, there has been no news, with their own identity, they are long gone.
"Young master, the opponent is big, let's slowly figure it out, it's not without a chance!" He lowered his voice.
Tan Feng slapped the table, startling Tan Kang, but heard Tan Feng say: "Yes, this is the truth, the opponent is big, but let's slowly figure it out, it's not without a chance, the thousand-mile causeway, destroyed in the anthill, the big ship of the Han Kingdom, is full of holes, Gao Yuan is still digging holes in it, let's help him dig some more, this ship may sink some." Whether it works or not, we'll do it first."
"The young master is right!" Tan Kang said with a smile: "Gao Yuan is doing some strange things, I really don't understand what he is doing, above this history, no matter who is the king, who is not desperately trying to hold the power in his hands, he is good, he actually feels that this power is hot, and he is busy dividing it, such a person who has lost his mind and is crazy is not necessarily difficult to deal with."
"Takato was such a strange person. Larger than life. It is precisely his uniqueness that makes him so lofty today." Tan Feng said thoughtfully: "But his actions above the government, but he is digging his own grave from time to time, what he wants to do, in fact, it is not groundless, in ancient times, there are indeed these records, but with the development of history, this system has been proven to be unworkable, when foreign enemies come, this kind of power decentralization system, it is impossible to pinch a fist to the outside world, so it is inevitable to be eliminated by history. In fact, the first signs of it are already starting to be seen."
"Oh, is there any sign of civil strife in the Han Kingdom now?" Tan Kang is very interested.
"Civil strife may not be necessarily, but the consequences of the separation of powers devised by Takato are already beginning to be felt." Tan Feng took a sip of wine lightly, "As soon as their big council meets, it almost becomes a vegetable market, and the councilors are like shrews scolding the streets, and even doing these jokes on the spot, have you heard it?"
"Well, I've heard a few, but it's all gossip, I thought it was all a joke!" Tan Kang Dao.
"It's not a joke, it's true." Tan Feng smiled: "The latest information I got is the new fiscal year proposed by Ye Chong, the secretary of their military department, well, they are talking about the new fiscal year. The army's budget for the new fiscal year was vetoed by the Great Council. The Great Council cut Ye Chong's budget by more than one-third, and Ye Chong was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded in the big house, scolding these councilors for forgetting to fight. But these parliamentarians have turned a deaf ear."
"Cut the army's budget by a third at once?" Tan Kang looked at Tan Feng in surprise, "That Gao Yuan doesn't care."
"Gao Yuan doesn't care, according to intelligence, Gao Yuan claims that the Great Council is the highest legislative and deliberative body, and since the Great Council has vetoed the proposal of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War must comply with it."
"Oh my God! It seems that Gao Yuan is really a little crazy."
"Summer worms can't be spoken, what kind of goods are these councilors, what do they know? Gao Yuan actually wanted to rely on such people to govern the country, it was really wishful thinking, they probably thought that the Han army was already invincible in the world, but they forgot that although Daqin was hit hard, but the background is still there, Daqin just lost the fruits of the battle over the years, but the local area was not damaged at all, if Daqin poured the country to fight, it was not impossible to gather a million troops, and the Chu State in the south had a larger territory than the Qin State, and there were more people than the Qin State, they were like a sick lion, once they woke up, The power that erupts is bound to be terrifying. During the period of the first king, Daqin fought in the east and west, and the only thing that did not provoke was the Chu State, but now, Gao Yuan is constantly teasing this sick lion, and now the people of insight in the Chu State finally realized the huge threat of the Han State, Huang Xie, Qu These people are all the best people in the world, how can they sit back and watch the threat of the Han State, the general environment of Qin and Chu joining forces has basically become, all we need now is time, Daqin needs time to recuperate from the pain of this defeat, and the Chu State also needs time to deal with the hidden dangers inside, When this qiē is ready to be ordered, it is the time for the war to start again, and at this time, the Han State actually relaxed its military headquarters and cut the army budget, which is not self-defeating." Tan Feng laughed, "When we were fighting the horses, they were preparing to release the horses to Nanshan, hahaha!"
"Or do they think that with the current strength of the Han Kingdom, it is enough to win the war with us?" Tan Kang said thoughtfully, and as soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little, isn't this to grow other people's ambition and destroy his own prestige?
Unexpectedly, Tan Feng nodded, "Your idea is indeed not wrong, for now, the military strength and combat effectiveness of the Han army are indeed the strongest. Moreover, the new weapons they used against the Chu army in Kangping City were even more appalling. I heard that this kind of thing is called dynamite in the Han Kingdom."
"Yes, young master, they have such a powerful weapon, what can we resist? Even the walls of Kangping City were blown down by them for hundreds of meters at once, they have such weapons, what city walls can stop their attacks in the future?" Tan Kang's little mood that he had just mentioned was ruthlessly suppressed again.
"No matter how powerful the weapon is, it still needs to be used by people after all." Tan Feng said faintly, "After the battle of Kangping City, whether it is our Great Qin or Chu State, both sides are working hard to find out the secret of this weapon, no matter how tightly the Han State covers it, it is inevitable that there will be no omissions, and now there are finally some eyebrows."
"Can we make this weapon too?" Tan Kang Daxi.
"You're beautiful!" Tan Feng smiled and knocked Tan Kang's head with chopsticks, "The intelligence agencies of Qin and Chu have cooperated sincerely this time, and the two sides have worked together to finally find some veins. The origin of this explosive actually comes from the alchemy of those Taoist monks we have all seen a lot, Gao Yuan is a collection of a large number of alchemists, it took several years of hard work, this is the development of this powerful weapon, sometimes, I have to admire Gao Yuan!"
"Since the Han Kingdom can use Taoist priests to refine this weapon, we can too!" Tan Kang blurted out.
"This is natural, now Qin and Chu are secretly recruiting Taoist priests who are good at practicing Dan to carry out research, but this is not a day's work, the Han Kingdom has spent several years for this, this is just one of the means for us to study this weapon, and the fastest is nothing more than ......"
"The fastest thing is to get it from Han!" Tan Kang blurted out.
Tan Feng nodded.
"It's just that since this weapon is so powerful, then the Han Kingdom is naturally tightly covered, and their Supervision Yuan is also powerful, I'm afraid that it is extremely difficult to get it from them." Tan Kang thought about it and shook his head again.
"That's not true, Gao Yuan, sometimes it's very strange, you know this year, oh, it should be said that it was last year, he once set off a grand fireworks for the birth of his third princess? The invention of that firework originated from this secret weapon, and Gao Yuan, in order to curry favor with Ning Xin, actually made such a militaristic weapon into a plaything, but it was also painstaking." Speaking of Ning Xin, Tan Feng's expression was extremely complicated, he used to say or until now, he has always admired Ning Xin, and once thought that he was the only one who could be worthy of Ning Xin, but later, he still lost his beloved.
"After this incident, fireworks have become a thing of the Han Kingdom, and it is really not easy to buy them, but for us, it is a breakthrough in the event. Tell me where the breakthrough is?" Tan Feng asked.
Tan Kang thought for a while, "Since this fireworks and firecrackers are a derivative of explosives, then, the workshop that can make fireworks and firecrackers is convenient for them to develop this weapon, it is inseparable from the place, at least there will be some business connections, if we want to get this thing, we can start from here!"
Tan Feng applauded softly, "Well said. This is the starting point, the first step is to find the workshop that produces explosives, and the next step is to plan for the rest. There is nothing in this world that can be hidden tightly. As long as there is a gap, there will be a chance to get in, open a gap, and get what we need." (To be continued......)
