"Having said that, I'm afraid that Jinyang will pick up the plane, don't forget to be in Yingzhou, Yizhou, and there are a lot of troops there." Dou Jiande hesitated for a moment and said.

"The king is too worried, even if they send troops, they should go to Wang Shichong, you must know that Wang Shichong is a betrayer; If the king is still not at ease, Zou Changfeng didn't ask for the empress dowager, and add a crown grandson, Yang Zhengdao, to give it to them. Ling Jing suggested.

"Subordinates seconded! As the so-called name is not right, the word is not good, the king is benevolent and loves the people, and the people also want to follow an emperor, not a king! Pei Shiju, who had just been appointed as the right servant, said.

"Subordinates seconded! The king's enthronement is the expectation of all! Dou Jiande's henchman Song Zhengwen saw him look over, so he walked out and echoed.

For Dou Jiande's ascension to the throne, everyone cares so much, but it is just for promotion, even if Dou Jiande is defeated in the future and everyone surrenders to others, the position must not be much lower than now.

It's like a county guard, you can't just give one county magistrate, right, so that other people can see it.

"This is a good word, anyway, it's useless for Empress Dowager Xiao to keep it, just give it to Zou Changfeng!" Dou Jiande nodded in agreement.

"The king is wise!"

"Who wants to go to Jinyang for a trip!" Dou Jiande asked again.

Immediately no one spoke, and some people were afraid to go, after all, being a messenger is a dangerous job; Some of them have just come, and it is not good to propose to go by themselves, so as not to be said to have ulterior motives.

"Do your subordinates want to go?" The new Shaofu Ling He Chou got up and said.

"Isn't there anyone in my Great Xia? Do you want to send an envoy from the Shaofu Order? Dou Jiande laughed angrily.

"Don't be angry, king! The subordinates sent envoys with ulterior motives! He Chou said again.

"He Shaofu, what are your intentions?" Dou Jiande's expression eased and asked gently.

"My subordinates heard that there are new farming methods in Jinyang, which can greatly increase grain production; I also heard that Miyun County is about to build a reservoir of more than 100,000 acres. Therefore, my subordinates want to go and see, if they can learn a thing or two, they can also benefit the people of Hebei! He Chou explained.

"He Shaofu has a heart! Just leave these things to the scouts, and this king can't do without you here. Dou Jiande said with a little emotion.

Of course, the most important thing is that the catapult made by He Chou is small and convenient, and the slinging distance is far away, so he is worried that He Chou will have an accident.

"The king can rest assured, the other craftsmen of the catapult have learned to make it, and it is the same with or without subordinates, and the Jinyang side is different, and the ordinary scouts can't see the reason at all, so they need their subordinates to go in person." He Chou explained.

"It's... I don't think it's necessary, and the increase in grain production will not increase much, and even if the reservoir is closed, it will only cost the people and money. From here, it seems that Zou Changfeng and Yang Guang really have the same hobbies! It's not a loss, it's the love of the faint king! Ha ha! Dou Jiande thought for a while and said.

After Dou Jiande laughed boredly and stopped, He Chou continued: "It is said that ordinary soldiers in Jinyang are holding divine weapons in their hands!" Steel Arm Longbow! Dressed in iron armor! ”

"What? How can it be! The smile on Dou Jiande's face disappeared, and he asked in surprise. Then he shook his head and continued: "Where did this come from, this is a joke at all, not to mention where so many divine weapons come from. Steel arm bow, Mingguang armor, we can also take it, but how can it be given to ordinary soldiers. ”

"Last year the king allowed the people to join the beggar army to defend against the Turks, but none of the people who went out returned; This year, my subordinates met two people who secretly came back to pick up their families, and only then did they find out the news. He Chou explained.

"In order to defend against the Turks, it is not difficult to equip an elite army, right?" Dou Jiande thought for a moment and said.

"The subordinates also thought so, so they spent a lot of money to find a few people to ask, but the answers they got were all the same, cavalry! Foot soldiers! There are tens of thousands of people in this team!

Thousands of taunting people, armed with steel arm bows, and arrows and arrows take people's lives; The whole body of iron armor is a whole piece, invulnerable! He Chou continued.

"How is this possible..."The corners of Dou Jiande's mouth twitched, and when he thought of what He Chou said, he felt a chill in his heart, such a soldier, what to resist.

Looking at He Chou's serious face, it didn't look like a fake, and he couldn't help but drumming secretly in his heart: "Is the gap really that big?" ”

"Is He Shaofu's words true?" Gao Shixing asked.

"This official never lies!"

"As the Shaofu said, his subordinates suggested that it should be repaired as soon as possible." Gao Shixing said solemnly.

"Not bad! Not bad! It's time to fix it, find out the details, and make calculations. Dou Jiande nodded in agreement.

"The king doesn't have to worry, Zou Changfeng's weapons and equipment should come from the original Daxing City treasury! It was the finest weapon of the imperial court before, so it was not surprising! Liu Heimin looks like thick eyebrows and big eyes, five big and three thick, but his heart is very thin, and he guessed part of it after thinking about it.

It's just that they don't know how they don't know that under Zou Yu's rule, there are already two huge iron mines, or the kind of mining area that can't be mined in hundreds of years with the current capacity.

Coupled with the captives captured in the war over the years, they have been digging non-stop in winter and summer, and the ore produced has exceeded their imagination.

"Not bad! Zou Changfeng once ransacked Daxing, and the weapons in the treasury must be in his hands, so that means that he only has one or two troops equipped with the most sophisticated weapons, as long as we are like this, there is no need to worry. Dou Jiande breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"The king is wise! Once Zou Changfeng sent troops, his subordinates were willing to be the vanguard. Liu Heimin clenched his fists and said loudly.

"Haha! General Liu has a heart, and this king will order you to organize an elite team, and the number of people is temporarily positioned at 5,000. Dou Jiande smiled happily.

"Subordinates obey." A trace of joy flashed in Liu Heimin's eyes, and he immediately clenched his fists to receive his life.

"King, the subordinates still ask for an envoy, whether it is the weapons and equipment from Daxing City, the subordinates will know at a glance." He Chou said again.

"It's okay, just ask He Shaofu to take a trip; When you go to Jinyang, be sure to tell Zou Changfeng that this king is willing to form an alliance with him and advance and retreat together. Dou Jiande pondered for a moment, nodded and said.

"Whoa!"

"Pick an auspicious day and prepare for the enthronement ceremony! This king ascends the throne and becomes emperor! Share the glory and wealth with all the princes! Dou Jiande stood up and said loudly.

"The king is wise!"

……………

By the time Zou Yu received the news, it was already November of the first year of Yining.

Dou Jiande changed the King of Xia to the Emperor of Xia! Officially proclaimed the emperor, and shot the left servant of Shangshu with his confidants and good deeds; Pei Shiju is the right servant of the Shangshu, Ling Jing is the secretary of the military department, Song Zhengwen is the secretary of the ministry, and he is crowned a hundred officials! His subordinates Liu Heimin, Gao Shixing, Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, Cao Zhan, Gao Yaxian, Wang Xiaohu and others were all named generals! The rest of the people were also rewarded.
