"There are changes." Someone carried a horsewhip, pointed to the other side and said loudly: "There is a change in the Wei army. ”

The Wei army on the other side of the river was changing, the array suddenly fluctuated like flowing water, and countless soldiers twisted their heads to the side, as if to welcome a certain general, followed by cheers one after another, everyone was shouting and cheering with the greatest strength, and hundreds of thousands of people shouted and shouted on the side of the river, this momentum made all the Donghu soldiers frown in shock.

This kind of high morale has never been seen in the previous Great Wei Forbidden Army.

A white horse galloped from a distance like lightning, and a tall knight was dressed in a gray robe, a silver cuirass, a hood, and a big red cloak behind him, which was not much different from the ordinary iron cavalry of the government army.

The difference is that when the white horse rode alone, passing in front of an army of hundreds of thousands of people, all the soldiers cheered and shouted.

"It was Xu Zi, the king of Qin, who ...... first"

Chechen Khan, Wanyan Zongshu and the others all had complicated expressions, and they didn't know what to say.

A few years ago, they had seen the scale of the Great Wei Sailors on the beach, and they were shocked by the situation at sea, and at that time they also guessed that Xu Zixian was above the fleet, but they did not expect that when they saw each other, it would be like this.

The opponent's high spirits, as well as the vigorous posture, made the candle-like Chechen Khan in the wind even more heartbroken, with the tiger and wolf division in front of him, even if he can block the current battle, the next 300,000 in the north of Jin, 200,000 in Yuguan will gather here, what will the Donghu people do to block?

The army of one million has always been only on paper, or there are really a million people, but most of them are rabble, enveloping the old and weak and a large number of strong people, the real people who are stubborn, there are more than 100,000 people, even if they are powerful, when Fu Jian's million people went south, the main force of less than 100,000 people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated it.

And Xu Zixian, the king of Qin, really brought together a million divisions, although there are also logistics personnel, but the real people are more than 800,000, this is such a powerful mobilization ability and sufficient national strength, recalling the embarrassment and shabby of the forbidden army of Wei a few years ago, the tragic situation of logistics is not continuous, it is really embarrassing and emotional.

Compared with the gloomy clouds and mist on the side of Donghu, the opposite side is high-spirited, where Xu Zixian went, the cheers resounded in the sky, the government army was built by Xu Zixian with one hand and one foot, although it is now more than one million, but the military attache above the head must have to pass from the martial arts hall, and must receive the commission issued by Xu Zixian himself before he can take office, the battalion commander is above, most of them are veterans who have followed the King of Qin for many years, ordinary soldiers, His Royal Highness the King of Qin also regards them as brothers and sisters, and a series of benefits are excellent, and the status of the military is strengthened, The soldiers respected the prince of the prison country even more.

"But I don't believe it......," his eyebrows were white, and the old man who had been fighting for forty years couldn't help but say: "With this shout of joy, then the King of Qin can bring soldiers and horses across the river out of thin air?" To fight, we still have to rely on the blood and courage of the soldiers, rely on the long and horizontal sword, and what is the use of shouting alone? ”

"What Lao Nayan said is ......" Chechen Khan just responded, but his heart was tight.

Before the opposing military formation, after Xu Zi, the king of Qin, rode his horse first, a large number of artillery pieces suddenly appeared.

The two rounds of artillery were pushed by the soldiers, and in the direction corresponding to the Lugou Bridge and the pontoon bridge, they began to be used to prepare for ignition and launch.

Artillery has not been used in previous battles...... It's not that the government army hides this sharp weapon, but there is no chance to use it at all, when a large number, more than 400 field artillery pieces are pushed to the front of the formation, although the Donghu high-level also knows that the government army is good at using artillery, but a large number of Donghu soldiers do not know what this thing is, there is a slight commotion in the army, many Donghu people guess that it is a weapon similar to a bed crossbow, and there is a slight commotion in front of the military formation of the stone bridge and the pontoon bridge.

The two banks of the river are separated by 300 steps, and all the military of the government are nine-pound cannons, and the artillery weighs more than 700 catties.

In some mountainous areas, where it is inconvenient for the cart to march and only rely on mules and horses to march, the artillery is a four-kilogram cannon, and the body of the cannon is more than 500 catties.

The artillery was not allocated to the battalion level, and each corps was equipped with four to eight guns, and each of the four guns was equipped with 20 vehicles, nearly 100 mules and horses, and more than 200 officers and men, ranging from seven or five people to each artillery group.

Since the time of Taizu, the Great Wei forbidden army wanted to configure a large number of artillery, and later because the emperor and ministers of the previous dynasties thought that this thing was too expensive, not as far as the bed crossbow, the artillery was not paid attention to, and there was no development, to the government army will use artillery on a large scale, this time the battle of Shiqiao, is the first appearance of the artillery of the Qin Wangfu army.

More than 400 artillery pieces were used by various armies, in this era, there was no artillery on the opposite side, artillery did not need to be used on the flank or behind the position, and there was no preparation of shotguns to prevent attacks on artillery units, and the artillery was placed directly in front of the formation, without taking into account the crossfire, and directly covered the near-shore archers on the opposite side with artillery fire.

"Boom!"

The first sound of artillery sounded, followed by the second sound, followed by the third sound, and more than 400 artillery pieces were deployed on the south bank of more than 20 miles, and in less than five minutes, they were fired one after another.

The solid bullet flew with a scream, driven by a huge kinetic energy.

Floating dust, human fragments, flesh and internal organs, and spilled blood, flew in the air.

The war horses neighed and ran, and the Donghu array had become fragmented in this round of artillery bombardment.

Although the casualties were not heavy for an army of 200,000,

But this round of artillery has shattered all the remaining hopes of the Donghu army.

Wanyan Zongshu's eyes straightened, and he saw that the artillery continued to be loaded and ready to be fired, and the cavalry and archers by the river had scattered and fled, ignoring the cruel military law of the Donghu army.

When confronted with the power of artillery for the first time, no matter how strong and resilient an army is, it cannot face the power of firearms.

The pontoon bridge in the river extended faster, and on the opposite side of the stone bridge, the infantry of the government army with shields and armor were already lined up in the shouts of killing, ready to rush over to break through the opposite defense and make room for the cavalry to charge.

"No wonder, no wonder......" Wanyan Zongshu's chest was stuffy, and he almost vomited blood, he laughed miserably, and at this moment he had completely understood the intention of the opposing army.

Attract the main force of Donghu, artillery bombardment, infantry break formation, cavalry assault, there must be cavalry on the flanks who cross the river from the upper reaches to outflank, and the opposite side has no intention of waiting for the left road to camp and the right road to march at Yuguan, so this road army will break the main force of the Donghu army!

A large number of cavalry began to flee in the chaos, and someone on the side of Wanyan Zongshu suddenly shouted: "Great Khan, Great Khan has fallen from his horse!" ”

Wanyan Zongshu was shocked, and sure enough, when he saw Chechen Khan fall to the ground, he hurriedly jumped off his horse and ran over, helped Da Khan up, and saw that Da Khan's mouth was bloodstained, and he knew that Da Khan had just vomited blood again.

Chechen Khan climbed Wanyan Zongshu with his hand, and said with a miserable smile: "You take your clansmen to run to the grassland, and then to the forest in the north." In this way, how much we can live depends on the will of heaven in order to continue the survival of our tribe. ”

Chechen Khan didn't say much, his strength was completely lost, he had no desire to speak, and his breathing became lighter and lighter.

In the end, this former hero whispered unwillingly: "I thought I was at least stronger than Fu, the Wanyan family was stronger than the Murong family, a dream, heh, it's really a dream......"

Wanyan Zongshu watched Da Khan stop breathing in a short period of time, and he didn't feel tears falling like rain, and he looked up to the sky and howled.

……

"Open the door!"

Liu Yi, who was dressed in a gray robe, without armor, and without guards, rode alone in front of the huge building complex, the gate had been opened for him, and countless sturdy men were looming around the mansion, but no one dared to stop him from taking half a step.

Misty and misty, riding alone, Liu Yi, a gray-robed man, gives people an incomparably bleak feeling, like a scholar at the end of the road, but everyone knows that this general of the government army must be named a captain, must be privy, and the knight must also be a national duke.

Liu Yi, who was once driven away by the owner of this huge mansion, may have deliberately put on this poor appearance, with a gray robe and a thin horse, and a broken sword, just like when he ran away.

In the smoke and rain, everyone was trembling, lest this man be murderous...... Liu Yi was known for his cruelty and murder, although he killed all the guilty, but the anger and murderous nature on his body were also shocking.

It's just that Liu Yi was calm at this time, he rode alone, and he didn't get off the horse when he entered from the main gate, until he arrived in front of the inner house.

Many people saw it along the way, and they all felt that Liu Yi was very different from before, not only did he grow nearly ten years older, but the original anger and murderous spirit disappeared without a trace, only indifference and tranquility.

Only the glimmer of light in his eyes, when he looked at him, he was shocked by the sharp gaze, which made people suddenly think that this was the general who led the 200,000 army, cut off the back road of Donghu, and led the troops to kill Liaozhou, the old nest of Donghu, and the blood in his hands was ten times, a hundred times, and a thousand times that of that year.

Many clan elders and prominent elders were on both sides of the road, and no one dared to stop half a step, even though they had driven Liu Yi away and cut off any hope for him.

If Liu Yi was willing, it would be enough to kill everyone in front of him, but he had no intention of doing so.

In front of the trembling crowd, there was finally a woman who was surrounded by a crowd, she was already nearly thirty years old, but she still insisted on being unmarried, and her appearance was only a middle-aged person, but standing in front of the inner door, although countless eyes were invested, she was very generous, her face was full of gentle looks, and when she saw Liu Yi, she smiled slightly.

This smile shows countless affections.

Liu Yi jumped off the horse, his eyes were already full of tears, he walked up to the woman, and said in a low voice: "Back then, I thought you were dead, or killed, first I wanted to kill people and take revenge, and then I couldn't do it, and became a bad gambler and drunkard, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness the King of Qin who gave me this hope today, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago." ”

The woman didn't say anything, she just held Liu Yi's hand, and the two looked at each other like this, everything in the world is not so important.

……

"Each ship is taxed according to the price of the goods." Huang Laigui's tall figure was particularly eye-catching in the crowd, and he shouted in fluent Dutch to all the captains who came to pass the customs: "Don't try to hide, hide, once discovered, on the basis of the original tax, depending on your attitude, add a minimum of one time, a maximum of five times the fine!" ”

"This fat man of Wei is hateful."

"Don't believe his words, as long as it is really found out, it will be at least five times the fine." It was an Englishman who spoke, with a complicated look on his face, and he must have remembered the fine vividly.

Countless captains, merchants, and even colonists were honestly queuing up in front of the Great Wei Malacca Customs Department, waiting to pass the customs and pay taxes.

No one can sneak through, and the government military and naval divisions patrol this sea area at intervals, eliminating pirates and supervising all the ships that come and go.

The most dissatisfied thing about the Tessians is that they pay the highest amount of taxes, they go the farthest, they take the most risks, and they pay the highest taxes.

Below them are the maritime merchants of the Nanyang countries, then the Han merchants of the Nanyangs, and then the maritime merchants of the Wei State.

Wei maritime merchants had the least risk and the highest profits, but the most taxes

Low.

But anger is anger, and there is nothing they can do.

One by one, the maritime merchants came over, Huang Laifu grinned, and said loudly: "It's all carefully, the Taixi people pay gold coins, and if they don't have gold coins, they will pay silver, not in kind, and not copper coins!" ”

Looking at the unhappy looks of the Taixi people, Huang Laifu smiled even more: "Not convinced? The officers and soldiers of our naval division fought down the South Seas, wiped out Pu Xingfeng with nine deaths and one life, occupied this Malacca, and opened up the waterway, which is the territory where we fought with our lives. Whoever wants to disagree, he is also fighting with his life, after fighting, you have the final say, if you can't fight, let's have the final say! ”

Many of the Tessie people shook their heads, and the uneven aura between their eyebrows was much lessened.

It is indeed the case, the Great Wei occupies Malacca, the Nanyang countries are similar subject countries, the same interests, its sailors and ships are more than 1,000, and they are also successively sailing warships of the Taixi style, equipped with cannons, and the officers and soldiers of the sailors dare to fight to the death, the equipment is first-class, and the quality is also elite in Taixi, and the number is more than 100,000.

In this case, you can only honestly hand over the gold coins obtained from South America, anyway, even if you pay taxes, when you go to Europe, those silk, tea, porcelain, and spices are still quite popular and sought-after, and the profits are still considerable.

Under Huang Laifu's smile, countless colonists and merchants threw gold coins in baskets, and the clanging sound also announced the undisputed rule of Great Wei over this sea area and more fields.

This is the result of going through hardships and paying countless lives, Xu Zixian will not back down, Huang Laifu will not back down, and countless sailors and soldiers will not back down.

……

The high platform hall paved with blue bricks is quite unpretentious, but it is better to be tall, and in it, it seems to be on the top of the clouds.

This is the palace group after Xu Zixian raised the Jiangning palace and renamed it Nanjing.

Nanjing is in the line, rebuilding the palace, and people with a discerning eye know that although Yanjing is still a Beijing division, it will change its name sooner or later and become the military and political center of the north.

The center of the entire Great Wei Dynasty, the south, the overseas frontier, is, of course, Nanjing.

Before the low-lying palace of Nanjing, after more than ten years, Xu Zixian used the private property of the royal family to contribute half, the palace funded half, spent hundreds of millions of dollars to mobilize millions of manpower to build for ten years, the low-lying palace was raised, expanded, and repaired the Xuanzheng Palace, similar to the Tang Daming Palace, tall, majestic, the palace is magnificent, there is not much decoration, and the palace pavilion has not been changed to bright yellow, it is still mainly blue and gray, and the temperament of the south of the Yangtze River is equivalent, but there is the pride of the north, countless overseas people come here, are shocked by this palace, worship.

The list of members of the new cabinet was read out today, and Xu Zixian, the son of heaven, will come in person.

Zhang Siqi and countless people crowded under the palace, many people came here not to buy tickets to play in the Jinming Pond on the side of the palace, nor to visit the Xuanzheng Hall and other foreign halls every five days, they came here to see the Son of Heaven, because the new cabinet was established, the Son of Heaven will come in person.

"It's coming, it's coming."

"It's the Son of Heaven, I'm a retired veteran of the government army......"

There was a commotion in the crowd, wearing a cyan dragon robe, but it was relatively cropped, and Xu Zixian, who also had a truncated hem, appeared on the high platform, more than thirty, but Xu Zixian still looked vigorous, healthy, and energetic, and his robe also maintained the style of the previous in the army, capable, steady, and practical.

There was no jade belt hanging high on the robe, but a simple rhino horn belt was tied, but it did not damage the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

He didn't wear the kind of foot heel that he didn't wear, but a soft-footed head that was more convenient to wear.

The emperor's simple style of wearing, of course, also triggered the trend of the transformation of the entire folk clothing, although it is the beginning of the country, but the world is extremely rich, but the atmosphere is not extravagant, Xu Zixian not only took the lead himself, but also a lot of clothing and diet, including the cost of the degree of law, even the Son of Heaven can not violate.

After all, the income of the inner government is the royal family's own, and only some ceremonies, necessary repairs, are the expenses provided by the palace appropriation.

Xu Zixian didn't come by himself, and behind him were two princes who were just teenagers.

Short robes, soft-footed heads, deerskin boots, and swords at their waists, the two young princes are not very old, but they also show a calm demeanor after a good education.

In the distance, the voice of the salute came from afar: "The minister went to the palace gate to pay homage and asked the Son of Heaven to return the salute." ”

The crowd was separated, and the soldiers of Jin Wuwei stood solemnly by the roadside, and under more than a dozen umbrellas were the cabinet ministers who had just been unanimously approved by the House of Lords.

"The Prime Minister pays homage to the Son of Heaven."

"The Son of Heaven returns."

Xu Zixian solemnly bowed on the high platform of the Xuanzheng Hall and bowed back to the newly appointed Prime Minister Kong He.

Kong He will next enter the Xuanzheng Palace, the monarch and the ministers will talk, Xu Zi will first sign the edict appointing the prime minister, and the prime minister and the ministers will officially take office.

"Father, why do you want to return the salute to your subordinates?"

"Didn't I read the book that the monarch and the ministers are the king, and the king is the greatest?"

The two princes did not hold official positions and were still receiving education, although Xu Zi first added a lot of knowledge of physics, chemistry, arithmetic, geography and history, and some knowledge of Confucianism, it was inevitable that it entered the textbook.

Xu Zixian smiled and said, "There is an answer on the pillar over there." ”

The two princes turned to the other side, and the two read aloud: "The people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light." ”
