Chapter 97: Prosperity and Disaster
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhong was thirty-eight years old.
Both the Stone Dynasty and the Great Celestial Empire achieved great economic and military leaps.
And under Wang Chong's design, he designed the musket again, and now he has a team of 30,000 musketeers under his command.
Major cities in the country are equipped with large and small artillery corps, but these troops are kept secret by him, on the surface he is still a small army of tens of thousands of people, but counting these equipped people, tens of thousands of troops can single out hundreds of thousands of people.
That's the gap that comes with equipment.
Personally, the mute girl's two sons, Big Stone and Little Stone, are already in their teens.
Under Wang Chong's strict education, the big stone and the small stone respectively made great achievements.
However, Wang Chong still did not relax his education, but let them lead the army separately and go to the Tianqi Forest and the Troubled Stone Mountain Range to open up wasteland and train themselves.
Li Xian'er was also very competitive and gave birth to a son and a daughter.
The daughter is as beautiful as her, and the son is as strong as Wang Chong.
At the age of thirty-eight, the Stone Dynasty reached its peak.
Nowadays, the country and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
At night, Wang Chong lived with the mute girl and Li Xian'er.
Now the mute girl and Li Xian'er have a good relationship, so naturally, at their request, Wang Chong lived with them, and to Wang Chong's surprise, the three of them were still quite harmonious.
"King, my eldest brother took a concubine again a while ago, if you want it, my dumb sister and I won't be angry."
After the three of them finished their work, Li Xian'er said softly.
The dumb girl nodded slightly: "The other monarchs have three thousand beauties in the harem, the king, if you don't accept a concubine, Sister Xian'er and I will be gossiped about." ”
Wang Zhong smiled bitterly, these days the two girls have been persuading him to take a concubine, but they are too busy and have no time to deal with it, I didn't expect it to be asleep, the two also said.
"More on that later." Wang Zhong said helplessly.
Saying this, Wang Zhong sighed in his heart, now that the Great Wilderness has been unified, the task of this life has almost been completed, right?
It's just that what he didn't expect was that early the next morning, Dahe came to report.
There was a civil strife in the armani federation of countries, and one of the subordinate countries, the prince of Jin Liguo, entered the Tianyan Forest and killed the big stone.
"What, the big stone is dead!"
Hearing this, Wang Chong was furious.
It was the first time his son had been killed.
"What about Prince Jin Liguo?" Wang Zhong asked.
"I've escaped." Dahe half-knelt on the ground, thought for a while, and continued: "There are rumors that His Royal Highness the Prince of Dashi fell in love with the princess of Ruifa Kingdom, and it happened that there was a war between Jin Liguo and Ruifa Kingdom, and Dashi led his troops to rescue Princess Ruifa Kingdom, so it caused a dispute. ”
"Pass the order, prepare for war in an all-round way, and sweep away Jin Liguo."
In the past, the United States could not get through at all because of the obstruction of the Tianji Forest.
But after all these years of land reclamation, the beasts inside the Tianji Forest have been frightened by muskets, and now they are able to march.
The state apparatus has already started, but unfortunately Jin Liguo's side is still very indifferent, for them, there is a natural danger in the Tianyan Forest, and they are not afraid of any stone dynasty at all.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that in just two months, the Stone Dynasty used artillery to open the gate of Jin Liguo.
In just one day, the lord of Jin Liguo and the prince who killed the big stone were brought to Wang Chong.
Father and son fell to their knees, shivering.
Because in front of them, there are large stones and the corpse of the princess of the country of Ruifa.
"Stone King, Stone King, don't kill me, this matter has nothing to do with me." Prince Jin Liguo was so frightened that he was full of and urine.
Wang Chong squinted his eyes and said, "I thought you were a man, but I didn't expect such a coward, my son died at your hands, it's a shame, come on!" ”
"The end will be." A general walked over.
"Hang this father and son, there will be no Jin Liguo in this world in the future, and my stone dynasty will be founded here."
"Yes!"
…………
With the Stone Dynasty occupying the Kingdom of Jin, other countries became vigilant.
It's a pity that they also know that the Stone Dynasty is extremely powerful, so they don't dare to do anything about it.
A year later, because of the continuous war in this area, a plague occurred, and for a time, this terrible plague disaster swept across the entire continent.
Wang Chong and his family didn't dare to go out during this time, because according to the report of his subordinates, the people who died of the plague on the street outside had been piled up into a hill, and there were few people in the originally prosperous trading city.
Not only them, but other countries are the same, with heavy casualties.
Although Wang Chong took countermeasures at the beginning, this time the illness was beyond his expectations.
It was only in the winter that the disease gradually subsided.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhong was already forty-six.
Under Wang Chong's rule, he established schools in every city and adopted a three-year compulsory education system.
The next successor he appointed is Xiaoshi, and Xiaoshi is no longer called Xiaoshi, but Shi Xiaoqiang.
This also means that in the future, the surname of the Stone Dynasty was officially the surname 'Shi'.
As for Li Xian'er's son, Shi Dangdang is the prime minister.
This is a position re-established by Wang, in his dynasty, Shi Xiaoqiang is actually the president, Shi Dang is the prime minister, and the two cooperate with each other to unite the front.
This is also Wang Chong's attempt to prevent the brothers from turning against each other for the sake of interests.
…………
The king is forty-six, and the mute woman is fifty.
The beauty who used to be gentle and lovely is now gray-haired and loose-skinned, like a woman in her seventies and eighties.
That is, this year, the mute girl became demented.
She seems to have returned to the past, the days in the Great Wilderness.
"Wood, wood, the big bird is very powerful, when we see him in the future, we should stay away from him......"
The mute woman came to Wang Chong's side tremblingly with potatoes in her hands, hunched her back.
That's right, the mute girl has long been hunchbacked.
Wang reestimated that this was a dumb girl who worked too much when she was young, so the cervical spine was not good, so that her back was all hunched in her later years.
"Dumb girl, I know, you're tired from work today, lie down for a while."
Looking at the dumb girl's appearance, Wang Zhong sighed.
"Look what this is." The dumb girl took out the potatoes like a baby: "The nurse gave it to me." ”
At this moment, Wang reremembered that when he was a child, he lived a life of lack of food and clothing in the great wilderness.
At that time, a simple potato was the most precious thing for them.
And the dumb girl, at that time, always secretly hid the potatoes and shared them with him.
"Dumb girl, this is what the maid brought for you, eat it."
After the dumb girl became demented, she couldn't eat anything else, except for potatoes.
"Maid?"
The mute girl was stunned, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly cried: "Big stone, big stone is dead...... Our son died......"
