Chapter 475: Covered Light
The fire and guns with such an effect disappointed Xie Shence. Although he tried his best to hide it, Liu Guitian and the others could still see something between the corners of his mouth and eyebrows, so they were ashamed to go down with that iron lump.
It took several years and spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and it turned out to be such a thing, and Xie Shence said that it was fake that he did not regret it. If the cavalry is formed with the expenditure on making guns and cannons in the artillery battalion, then the combat effectiveness of your own private army, which is less than 5,000 people, should be able to rise to a higher level.
Yangzhou City has been empty, and Wen Chong's first major event after taking office, the investigation of Yangzhou City, has also been completely declared bankrupt. Today's Yangzhou City Artillery Battalion is full of grain and goods hoarded by the Xie family, such as Zuo Tiezhu, who died of illness, and others have become the servants of the Xie family. The line of a large amount of pig iron, which attracted Wen Chong's attention at the beginning, has been broken.
Xie Shence had long known that building such a large private arsenal would attract the attention of people with a heart, and the large consumption of iron and detectives, even if the traces were well concealed, as long as he was willing to work hard for a few years to investigate, he could find something. Wen Chong is a person who uses stupid methods to achieve partial success.
However, Xie Shence's secrecy has always been extremely strict, and even if he gets close to Yangzhou City, he can't get more clues.
The artillery battalion is not used except for the Xie family's iron guards, and even the cavalry cannot go deep. Emperor Jin tried several times in his early years, but at that time the two sides were still in the honeymoon period, so they only gave up after not getting much useful information.
"Heavenly Thunder" is powerful, Emperor Jin began to pay attention to this matter, but Xie Shence privately has an agreement with Emperor Jin, that is, he will dedicate the latest research results, Tiqi is Emperor Jin's henchman, Xie Shence is always in the sight of Tiqi, and Emperor Jin is happy to sit and enjoy it.
He wasn't worried about thanking God for playing tricks. Because in the eyes of Emperor Jin, even if it is the fief of the Xie family, Yangzhou City is still his. His things are still his, if they are given to others. Yangzhou City is his, he can do whatever he wants, it's a big deal to have an autumn hunt in Yangzhou City, and I'm afraid that I can't turn Yangzhou City upside down? Shake out the secret hidden by Xie Shence?
It's just that he doesn't want to make his eating appearance so ugly. And the direction of things later was beyond the expectations of Emperor Jin. He didn't get what he had promised.
But then again, this is an era of big swords and spears, and even if Emperor Jin covets the secret weapon of Xie Shence, he will not "forget his roots", so he attaches importance to it, but he may not think that this is such a transformative thing. On the contrary, in the heart of Emperor Jin, there may be an unknown vigilance.
can open mountains and crack rocks, and the sky and the earth crack, so is the city wall of Jindu safe enough?
Even if the walls are thick enough, what if a trebuchet is thrown into the city? What if the henchman eunuch put it under his dragon bed?
Emperor Jin didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it, and he subconsciously thought that it was impossible. Because no one in the Xie family would betray the royal family. It was like that two hundred years ago.
Xie Shence sneered at the corner of his mouth, thinking that Emperor Jin might scold the bigwigs of the Shenji Battalion late at night, angrily scolding them for why they hadn't come up with the formula yet, and he felt a burst of pride in his heart.
Zhang Han, the general of the Western Army, must have taken away a batch of gunpowder, and there should still be half of it in the palace, and the rest should be in the Shenji Battalion where only the backbone alchemists were left.
"Whoever comes up with the recipe, I'll send him a red envelope," Xie Shence said softly.
The research of gunpowder, which Xie Shence had high hopes for in an attempt to change the mode of war, would not stop, and Wang Qingyan's efforts to support the Northwest Finance Beyond the top priority were to provide a steady stream of money for the development of the artillery battalion.
The Iron Guard was thrown out by him in search of malleable talents. Xie Shenwei and He Ruoque secretly trained nearly 5,000 private troops for him that even Jiang Qi didn't know.
Gu Shunxing was exhausted between the northwest and the southeast, just to help Xie Shence connect the entire Great Jin Dynasty. The students of the first class of the martial arts hall exerted great energy, and almost every subsequent class of martial arts students worshiped them as respected elders, and their respected elders were Xie Shence, who was absolutely very young.
Not to mention that the young horsemen he picked up back then are now all over the north and south of the river, although they will not directly disobey Emperor Jin's orders to do things for him, but with the words of Zhuo Shishi and Mao Xiaosan before, Xie Shence believes that the young man in the Jin capital who is always smiling but not easy to remember his face must have arranged the most suitable back road for him.
Zhou Jinmian has been working hard alone in the past few years, and I am afraid that he is no longer the angry young man who dared to rebel if he drank a little more. Miyu should also have completely stepped out of Yan Jiegang's shadow. Mr. Yang is in Hubei, and Wushan is in Shandong
Who said that Emperor Jin would be able to completely kill and kill? At least for now, the hidden power that Xie Shence has in his hands is beyond the imagination of everyone in the Jin Capital.
Familiar faces appeared in front of Xie Shence's eyes, and the corners of Xie Shence's mouth curled slightly. The disappointment and coldness of the previous failure of fire and guns were swept away.
Dusted off his robe, called the maid to fetch water and washed his face, and thanked Shence to see Wang Jiehua teach Xiao Jasmine to play chess.
Little Jasmine, who is only three years old, knows how to play chess and has no patience, so she messes up the chess pieces from time to time, and sometimes overturns the chessboard. At this time, Xie Shence took her away, and then Wang Jiehua restored the chessboard step by step with her amazing memory and reasoning ability.
The second ancestor outside continued to scold, and the Huangchuan Road was already congested. The craftsmen of the common people cursed, but they did not dare to make a sound, and even their eyes would not have the slightest disrespect, but there were many hard-working men who could have taken a detour, and would rather delay things without wages, and stood firmly on the street, waiting for the road to be clear.
Some people waited from morning to noon, and then from noon to afternoon, without drinking a sip of water or eating a mouthful of food.
"Are these people demonstrative?"
"Cheap skin and meat, you won't pay for your life if you are killed, you will lose two dollars at most, and if you don't leave, you will be annoyed by the uncle, and you will be rewarded with dozens of whips!"
"It's really hateful, if it weren't for the son's explanation, don't cause trouble, Lao Tzu will be so pickled!"
"To build the embankment in autumn, we must let the young master advise the old man and pull these bitter haha who watch the excitement on the embankment!"
Several people dressed in crimson green who looked like butlers stood together, looked at the indifferent men around them, and cursed in a low voice.
It's already sunset, and their sons have already eaten, drunk and slept in the drunken immortal building two streets away, and at this time, only these subordinates and some generals are still holding their positions.
The weather in May was a little hot, and after the sun and the eyes of the people, these housekeepers endured hard work, so the mood was naturally not good.
The last rays of sunlight faded, and the sky gradually darkened.
The second ancestors, who were full of food and drink and a little hungry, began to return one after another, preparing to collect their troops and return to the camp.
Just after the housekeepers thought that the hard days of the day were coming to an end, there was a commotion, and they all got into the car and the second ancestors got down again.
"It's Miss Wang."
"I didn't see Wang Jiehua, but it's good to see Wang Qingyan"
"What? Her name is Wang Qingyan? How I don't know brutes! Are you still brothers, don't tell me! ”
"Such a woman, if she marries her family, she will be blinded by the silver she earns!"
"Miss Wang, I have set up a banquet in the Spring Breeze Building, and I just ask Miss Wang to appreciate her face!"
"Bastard, you dare to be one step ahead of me, Miss Wang, I have prepared a few glasses of thin wine, and I have some business matters, and I want to discuss with the girl."
Xie Shence listened to the shouts of the boy outside inside the gate and shook his head.
This is my daughter-in-law, you unsuccessful scum
Wang Qingyan didn't receive any difficulties, like blocking the road and not letting her in, it didn't happen as expected.
In fact, Xie Shence's worries are unnecessary. Wang Qingyan integrated the business gang in the northwest, and contributed to the prosperity of today's northwest commerce, many families have more or less business dealings with Wang Qingyan, and the higher the power, the heavier the weight in the caravan, so many people have a good impression of Wang Qingyan, a strong woman who controls the northwest business.
Of course, in the eyes of young people, this woman who is still nominally single is even more worthy of liking.
Although everyone knows that he is Xie Shence's confidante, the Cai case that shocked the Great Jin back then was the result of Xie Shence's anger at the crown.
But she hasn't been through the door yet, has she? Besides, women who fall out with their families are all lonely, and women who don't have a lover by their side are all lonely, as long as the timing is right, they may not have the opportunity to pry into the corner of the wall.
This kind of woman, who cares about her past if she can marry her?
Whether it is the Qi family, the Wuyan family or the Jiang family, as long as Wang Qingyan nods and enters the door, who will not treat her as a bodhisattva?
Only a beast like Xie Shence would throw her, a lonely woman, at the border for many years.
As soon as they thought of this, many Second Ancestors became even more angry when they saw Xie Shence after seeing the gate.
"Thank you! Get out of here and duel me! ”
"Not a man!"
"You're not worthy of Miss Wang!"
"And I'm the first beauty in Dajin, you don't deserve it!"
Xie Shence looked at Wang Qingyan with a slight smile, ignoring those second ancestors.
He Ruoque, who was holding a big gun, walked out, and some people who were very close to the door and closer to Wang Qingyan retreated without a trace, but they were still unforgiving, and scolded Xie Shence more than once.
Xie Shence was slightly unhappy in his heart.
My daughter-in-law is beautiful and eye-catching, you He Ruo lacks a big boss, and you can let this group of guerrillas retreat as soon as you let go of your domineering spirit? Are you more handsome than me? It actually stole my limelight.
The door closed, and the young Second Ancestors were disheartened. After all, the watery cabbage was arched by Xie Shence's slut, and he never had a chance.
Xie Shence welcomed Wang Qingyan in and said, "I thought it would be a little troublesome to come in." ”
Wang Qingyan smiled faintly. I don't know if it's because of Xie Shence's concern, or because someone put her in front of Wang Jiehua before.
"Xianggong doesn't know how much pain they suffered from pestering me at the beginning, and now it's too late for me to stumble, where dare to stumble on me. What's more, it's not me who has difficulty getting in and out now, but you. ”
Xie Shence was a little embarrassed and said, "Isn't that not about the villain." ”
"How's it going today?"
Wang Qingyan gently rubbed his eyebrows and said: "It's not good to talk about, you made too much trouble last night, revealing people's scars in front of you is tantamount to completely tearing your face, and now no one can get off the stage, so no one is willing to compromise." You are hard first and then soft, and you don't show up, those old guys are very proud and harsh, I have lost face today, you have to compensate me. ”
Xie Shence smiled hesitantly: "Compensate you, I will definitely compensate you." Besides, I'm not going to be soft."
"Shame on you."
Xie Shence was overjoyed when he saw this.
"Since you're back, why don't you come to dinner?"
A cold voice pulled Xie Shence back to reality in an instant.
The corners of Wang Qingyan's mouth hooked up a smile, Wang Jiehua watched coldly, and Xie Shence was in a cold sweat behind him-
The door was closed, and the second ancestors never received a response, so they continued to scold.
He Ruoque put the big gun on the ground and said with a sneer: "Everyone is so good at verbal kung fu, they are all practiced in the brothel of the Qinglou." It's a man who brings two guns and fights with a certain family, otherwise, a certain family will tell you to shut up obediently! ”
The second ancestors were furious. In the face of such an insult, no one can stand it, but they are not stupid, no one wants to really take a gun under their crotch to fight with He Ruo's madman, and they can't fight.
So they whispered curses such as "watchdog" and "dog minion", and left unwillingly.
Of course, I left today and will come back tomorrow. They are very determined.
(PS: It's all 3k these days, it's a little less, so I collected a lot.) I don't have the face to say that I want to collect and ask for red tickets. I don't have the strength either.
It rained, and I came back and got drenched. The head is heavier than the earth under your feet, and you insist on writing so much. Thinking of Cao Cao's words, I think it fits very well.
"The lonely head wind is offended, and the headache is split")
