Chapter 158: The Unification of the Northern Counties
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
With the sound of cannons, the entire North County City shook.
In particular, the city gates, which are cast from solid wood and pig iron, are crumbling in the smoke of gunpowder.
Pieces of cyan rock fell off, and huge bricks smashed into the ground.
Both Xue Li and Liu Ji held their breath, their faces full of nervousness.
Both of them were gambling.
Bet that the other party can't hold on to it first...
。。。。。
"Great victory!"
"Great victory!"
"There is a great victory in North County!"
"The Eight Governors punished the evil Kou Liu Ji and recovered the lost land, this is the kindness of His Majesty and the blessing of his ancestors!"
The official in green clothes walked out of the court with excitement on his face, and shouted in a loud voice.
"What!"
"North County Recaptured?"
"The Great Victory of the North County?"
Listening to the good news of the Tsing Yi officials, whether it was Emperor Qianpan or other ministers, there was a trace of shock in their eyes, and they asked in disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
"Because of its proximity to the frontier, the city of Nabei County is much stronger than that of the inland hinterland... The city walls are not only several times taller, but even the thickness is incomparable to ordinary cities. ”
"Such a strong city, let alone several times the number of troops, even if it is ten times the number of troops, don't even think of breaking it!"
It is precisely for this reason that when the thief Zhang rebelled, he never broke through the city. ”
"Situ Xing's troops are very limited, how can he break through the heavily guarded Beijun... What's wrong with that?"
Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to King Chengjun, who was dressed in purple.
"Or is it really as the Tsing Yi official said, this is the benevolence of His Majesty and the blessing of his ancestors?"
"How is this possible?"
"It's okay to deceive the ignorant grass people ... ”
"If Emperor Qianpan is really benevolent and the ancestors are really blessed, then the Great Qian's court will not be so stormy!"
"There must have been something going on that I didn't know about!"
Feeling the suspicious gaze of everyone, King Chengjun couldn't help but have a helpless wry smile on his face.
What's the use of seeing yourself?
I've long since left North County!
And the previous deployment was either killed or driven ...
What happened in North County, how could he possibly know?
Seeing the blank eyes of King Chengjun, the minister of the court couldn't help but turn his head, and his eyes showed even more contempt.
King Chengjun's heart couldn't help but be stagnant!
There was a look of anger in his eyes...
He finally realized what it means to be bullied by dogs in Pingyang!
Since the fall of Beijun and his embarrassment fled back to Shendu, his status has plummeted in an instant.
Not to mention that there is no way to compete with the crown prince, even many ministers in the court are sneering at him and avoiding him.
Someone even wrote to Emperor Qian, hoping that he could severely punish the king of Chengjun...
If it weren't for Emperor Qian's thoughts of the relationship between father and son, I'm afraid he would have been stripped of his clothes and degraded as a concubine, but even so, his status is not as good as before.
From the former bare-handed vassal king, to the sinner that no one cares about today...
"Is there something wrong with it?"
Although Emperor Qianpan did not speak, the suspicion in his eyes had already explained everything.
"It can't be ... ”
"Father!"
"The great city of Beijun was built by the child himself, and in terms of strength, it is second only to the imperial city. ”
"Don't say that Situ only has a few thousand soldiers and horses, even if it is tens of thousands of sieges, don't want to break through... ”
"Could it be that Situ Xing has rebelled against the internal defenders?"
Looking at Emperor Qian's suspicious gaze, King Chengjun couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to defend loudly.
Looking at King Chengjun's anxious gaze, Emperor Qianpan couldn't help but nod lightly.
"What's going on!"
"Hurry up!"
"Back to Your Majesty!"
"According to our report, Lord Situ has invented an unprecedented weapon. ”
"And named firearms!"
Seeing that the eyes of the people in the court and Emperor Qianpan showed curiosity, the Tsing Yi official did not dare to hide it, and hurriedly said.
"The fall of the big city of Beijun also depends on the power of this firearm!"
"Firearms!"
Listening to the words of the Tsing Yi officials, whether it was Emperor Qianpan or other officials, there was a look of confusion in their eyes.
"Not bad!"
"It's a firearm!"
"This is a new type of weapon created by the Mo family, which not only has a longer range, but also has amazing lethality!"
"A musketeer of a few hundred people can easily defeat the elite of thousands of people!"
The Tsing Yi official nodded heavily and said affirmatively.
"So powerful!"
Emperor Qianpan's eyes couldn't help shrinking, and he said with some surprise.
"Not bad!"
"Your Majesty, the power of firearms is unexpected!"
"I respectfully ask Your Majesty to order the Zhibei County Situ to contribute this skill to the court... ”
The Tsing Yi official hurriedly bowed down and said in a solemn voice.
Other officials also took a half-step forward and hurriedly echoed:
"That's right!"
"Your Majesty, the power of firearms is too powerful, and I am afraid that something will change over time. ”
"Your Majesty should be in the hands of the people... ”
"Hmm!"
Emperor Qianpan didn't speak immediately, but the faint look in his eyes had already explained everything.
The power of firearms made this high-ranking saint monarch also have a sense of crisis.
However, could he have given up the method of making firearms?
The minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee didn't know, but he saw it clearly, Situ was not a person who was willing to be subordinate.
Now that he has driven Liu Ji away, the entire Beijun is in his hands, and he has firearms and other sacred objects in his hands, how effective can his holy decree be?
Even Emperor Qianpan had no confidence in his heart.
"Father!"
"Now that the North County has been recovered!"
"Then shouldn't Erchen return to his own territory?"
King Chengjun didn't know the entanglement in Emperor Qianpan's heart, walked out of the crowd with excitement on his face, and said loudly.
During these days in the capital of God, he truly understood what it means to be warm and cold.
In the past, he was the king of the county, and he was the favorite son of Emperor Qianpan, whether it was the prime minister of the dynasty or the minister in purple, he was polite and polite when he saw him, and his face was full of warmth.
What now?
Not to mention the prime minister, even if he is an official in Tsing Yi, he dares to give him a look like the king of the county?
Why?
Because he lost his territory, lost his military power, and became a tiger without claws.
The recovery of North County gave him another glimmer of hope.
"This!"
Looking at King Chengjun with an excited face, there was a trace of hesitation in the eyes of both Emperor Qianpan and the minister.
It stands to reason that King Chengjun's request is not excessive.
Beijun was originally his territory.
In the past, it was because of Liu Thief's rebellion that he had to leave...
Now that the northern county has returned to the territory of Daqian, it is reasonable for him, the king of the county, to return to the territory, but is the current northern county still the northern county of Daqian?
Will Situ regain the lost ground, will he really give it up?
Thinking of this, the Qiandi Pan only felt that his head was getting bigger...
