The Five Kingdoms?

It sounds scary, or rather, half a month ago, Qin Ming still didn't want this kind of thing to happen.

After all, he is not confident enough to face the five nations joining forces.

But now, it's different.

He had made gunpowder, he had made bombs and cannons, and with these thermal weapons, he might not have been afraid.

Seeing that the emperor was so calm, the ministers below were also inexplicably relieved.

"Ministry of Industry, step up the mining and production of raw materials." Qin Ming suddenly spoke.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu confidently said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty! ”

"Plus, expedite a batch of stone launchers!" Qin Ming said.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, our existing weapons, compared with the stone launcher, the stone launcher is no longer meaningful. ”

Qin Ming smiled: "The stone launcher I need is not for launching stones, but for ...... You know! ”

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War instantly understood, and they were used to launch bombs?

It is true that the production of cannons is more troublesome, but the stone launcher is much simpler and not heavy, and it is easy to transport in the case of war.

Anyway, a few more launchers, it's always good.

"I understand! Your Majesty! ”

Qin Ming smiled: "Hey, don't always pat yourself on the back!" ”

Although, he loves to listen!

"Then Your Majesty, if the Five Kingdoms are really Chu, how should we deal with it?" The military department Shangshu asked.

"Cope?" Qin Ming said: "I have a million strong divisions in Chu, with all kinds of troops, all kinds of weapons, and all kinds of tactics, which can defeat more than twice as many enemies.

However, the five countries of them joined forces, and the total number of soldiers and horses was at most two million, and if they really fought, I might not be afraid. What's more, I have a new weapon! ”

Qin Ming said, thought about it again, and said:

"Still, the arrangement should be done. In this way, Marshal Long divided 300,000 troops under his command and went to the south to help General Zhu defend the town, plus General Zhu's 100,000 army, a total of 400,000 troops, which was enough to deter the southern and white countries.

In addition, 200,000 troops went to the eastern border pass to prevent the Aolai country, 200,000 troops went to the northeast border pass to deter Qingguo, and 200,000 troops went to the north to deter Mongolia. In this way, a million troops have already been dispatched. ”

"Your Majesty, in this way, the number of troops in the west, southwest, and northwest will be greatly reduced." Bingbu Shangshu said.

Qin Ming thought for a moment: "The Xia State and the Yan State in the southwest are allies of the Chu State, and they will not pose a threat to the Chu State. In addition, to the west, to the west, there is enough western army.

As for the northwest, the Ulan and Jin states are also allies. The overseas island countries sandwiched between these two countries are even more fearful, and they exist in name only. Therefore, the troops can be withdrawn. ”

Qin Ming believed that the Xia State would have a wise choice and would not mess around when the Chu State was in crisis.

As for Yan Guo and Jin Guo, don't worry, with his relationship with Yan Lingfei, it's all right.

The Ulan Kingdom definitely didn't have the courage to provoke the Chu State, and now the king of Du, that is, the original prince of Ulan, was sent to the throne by Qin Ming.

The ministers also felt that it made sense after listening to Qin Ming's words, and at this time, the squire of the military department spoke: "Your Majesty, will our new weapons be put into use this time?" ”

"You can select some trustworthy, strong and courageous soldiers, and train them to use these weapons, and then slowly develop into a battalion of tens of thousands of people, I will start first...... The name of the firearms battalion. Qin Ming said.

In this way, the firearms battalion was formed. This will be the most effective group of troops to help Qin Ming conquer the world.

At the end of the early dynasty, after Qin Ming returned to the Qingxin Palace, he found Marshal Long and Xue Rengui again.

The main thing to ask them about the recent military training is to ask them.

Marshal Long Qin Ming didn't particularly know his ability, he only knew that he led his troops to fight and stabilize the overall situation, and he was indeed very powerful.

But Qin Ming knows Xue Rengui very well, Xue Rengui is not only good at fighting, but also very good at training soldiers.

It is said that a special forces of the Tang Dynasty were also trained, called the Unknown Thirteen, one can defeat hundreds of people, and thirteen can destroy a battalion.

Therefore, Qin Ming just wanted to ask them how the army was now.

After seeing the two of them coming, Qin Ming spoke directly: "Earlier, I asked you to train the army, but now, what is the result?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister strictly requires his subordinates to train the army, and compared with before, the overall combat strength of the army has been greatly improved." Marshal Long said.

Xue Rengui also spoke: "Weichen is like this, and now, if the army under his command is against the army of the southern country, it is not a problem at all to deal with the army of the southern country. ”

"That is to say, you have an army of 100,000 in your hands, and the enemy has an army of 300,000." Qin Ming said.

Xue Rengui said confidently: "This is just a conservative estimate, and even, Weichen is confident, 100,000 troops, but 400,000!" ”

Qin Ming was very satisfied: "Okay, I am very satisfied, Marshal Long, General Xue, you two go back to make a plan to send troops, and reasonably assign these soldiers to the four border passes according to my intentions today." ”

"Wait for the order!" The two knelt down and said.

After watching the two leave, Qin Ming sat on the chair relaxedly.

On the side, the little princess said, "It's going to be a war, aren't you worried?" ”

Qin Ming shook his head with a smile: "I was worried before, but now I am not worried, besides, the declaration of war of the five countries has not yet been issued, so what is the hurry." ”

The little princess pouted: "You men, you like to fight and kill." ”

Qin Ming smiled noncommittally, then got up, and said boredly:

"Actually, it's not interesting to be an emperor, it's really boring to be trapped in this huge palace."

"How many people want to be emperors!" The little princess came over and said with a smile.

Qin Ming sighed: "They don't know what it means to be cold in a high place!" ”

As he spoke, Qin Ming turned around and hugged the little princess.

Just when the two were intimate, outside, a Praetorian Guard voice sounded:

"Your Majesty, there is the head of a large family outside the palace, and I want to see Your Majesty!"

Qin Ming frowned and said, "This kind of thing is also to be reported?" Do I really want to see you? In this way, wouldn't you see more people? ”

Outside the hall, the Praetorian Guard said, "Your Majesty, but that person is special, he has a marriage contract in his hand......"

"I'm not a matchmaker?" Qin Ming was speechless.

The Praetorian Guard continued, "But...... But Your Majesty, the marriage contract is ...... It's your name, and ...... The handprint of your father, the Marquis of Qingwu...... and your mudra! ”

Hearing this, Qin Ming's eyes widened: "What the hell?" My marriage engagement? Damn, what routine? ”

The little princess was also stunned, looked at Qin Ming and said, "Do you have a marriage contract?" ”

Qin Ming said: "I ...... I don't know ......"

This made Qin Ming panic, helpless, and said to the Praetorian Guard: "Let him in!" ”

A short time later, a middle-aged man of fifty years old and a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old came in and knelt:

"The grass people have seen Your Majesty'......"

Qin Ming's face was not very good-looking, and he said, "What is the situation with the marriage contract in your hand?" ”
