"Teacher, what do you think of the situation in the Eastern Continent?"
Charlemagne was dressed in a loose Seris-style robe, leaned comfortably on a chair, and asked Shangguan Zhige, who was sitting next to him.
"What do you think?" Shangguan Zhige was a little angry, "If you still stay in the Eastern Continent with me, with the emptiness of the Eastern Kingdom at this time, why is it difficult to replace the Yun family?" You have to come to this West Continent, where the people's livelihood is withering and all industries are not prosperous, to be the king! ”
Charlemagne smiled bitterly, he believed what Shangguan Zhige said, with his ability, it was really not that difficult to win the Yun family's country, but after all, he was from the Western Continent, and he had the blood of the Andris family in his body!
"Teacher, don't talk about this anymore, after all, there is no regret medicine sold in the world, right?"
Shangguan Zhige sighed, and did not complain about these old things anymore, but talked about his own opinions: "In the past, when that kid was killed by the assassin king of the Western Continent, I never dreamed that he was such a capable person, with hundreds of people to seize the Beijing division, capture the emperor, and also invented the 'artillery', a powerful weapon that can be mass-produced, and finally turned the tide with tens of thousands of private troops, so that the beast army returned!" Fortunately, this kid is careful, and the foundation is too shallow, not to mention the national strength of the behemoth of the Eastern Kingdom, and he is also constrained by all the forces in the country, and in the end he has to die with Gong De Qitian, if he is a little lucky, a little more time, let him work hard in the East Kingdom, sooner or later the East Kingdom will inevitably be controlled by it, and then it will definitely be your great enemy! ”
Charlemagne was also a little embarrassed: "I also looked away at my virtuous brother, I thought he had no imperial ambitions, let alone imperial talents, but I didn't expect that it was just a few years of hard work, and he gave me such a big surprise!" And the artillery fire ~ gun, I really regret not being at the beginning, I knew that that guy had a way to improve it and mass production, so I shouldn't have let him go! ”
Shangguan Zhige said earnestly: "In vain! Letting go of the world is really the worst decision you've ever made in your life! Fortunately, the world is not capable, but there is no luck, and in the end it is not in this troubled world. ”
"Luck is sometimes a thing that can be helpless." Charlemagne nodded sympathetically, and then the conversation changed, and he returned to speculation about the situation in the Eastern Continent: "Now that the henchmen who are not subordinate have left Beijing, Yun Chongming has resumed the position of sunset, but everyone knows that at this time, it is no longer as good as it was at the beginning, after the tiger skin of the world's first power is punctured, all those with ambitions will be disobedient, and the chaos in the eastern kingdom is inevitable!" However, I'm not worried about the careerists in the eastern kingdom, what I'm worried about is that the ambitions of the northern orcs will not die and continue to go south! ”
"You're worried, boy!" Shangguan Zhige seconded the proposal and said: "If the Eastern Kingdom is stolen and occupied by the Beast Clan, I am afraid that the Beast Clan of the Western Continent will also be inspired by it and raise things one after another, which will be very unfavorable to our pacification of the Western Continent!" And once the manpower, material and financial resources of the Eastern Kingdom are controlled by the Beast Clan, it is inevitable that the Eastern Continent Beast Clan will not fund the Western Continent Beast Clan, and the Western Continent Beast Clan will probably become bigger at that time! ”
Charlemagne pondered and said, "Therefore, it is our top priority to find a reliable force to support and let it resist the footsteps of the beast clan moving south!" ”
"That's true." Shangguan Zhige nodded, "It's just that Chengping in the Eastern Kingdom has been too long, and the domestic literary style is too prosperous, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have someone who can stand up and turn the tide like the world's ministers!" ”
Charlemagne tapped the armrest of the chair with his knuckles, frowned, and said: "I have long heard that the Weiyuan Qu family is the first general in the Eastern Kingdom, and the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, and there are 5,000 elite private soldiers in hand, can you support them?" ”
Shangguan Zhige shook his head categorically and said: "Disciple, you don't know the Qu family, since their ancestor Qu Jingsheng began, there is no one who is magnanimous and has the ambition of the world, Qu Jingsheng was handsome when he was 300,000 troops to destroy the Wushan Empire, originally with his prestige in the army, even if it is based on the Wushan Pass, it is possible to establish himself as the king, but the sixth emperor only used a piece of paper edict, he recalled him to the Beijing Division, and then in order to save his life and wealth, he assisted the sixth emperor with his own prestige to subdue a group of arrogant soldiers, The original civil and military system of the court situation has been tossed into a civil and military court, and the civil and military are cheap! Their ancestors are so unsuccessful, that Qu Yongchen is just a gentleman born in the palace and raised by a woman, how can he be stronger than his ancestors? Although Qu Jingsheng is not a weapon, but its Wen Tao Wu strategy is rare in ancient times, that Qu Yongchen can get one percent of the true inheritance of his ancestors, even if it is good, although he has five thousand elite soldiers, ten good generals, but how much market can be made, it is a very questionable thing! ”
"The Qu family can't do it, what about the Northwest Liukou? I heard that there is one person in the Liukou, who calls himself the 'King of the People', has 500,000 displaced people under his command, and more than 200,000 capable fighters, who is quite powerful, and has defeated the crusade army of the Eastern Imperial Court more than once, can this person be? "Charlemagne doesn't care about the identity of the person he wants to support, he only cares about whether that person has the ability to stop the beast clan's southward footsteps, even if that person is a vicious rogue!
"Disciple, you still don't read much history, there are many rogue histories like this, but there are very few people who can succeed in the end, and there are not even a few people who have a good death, what do you say? It's just that although the generation is fierce, they are short-sighted, shallow in knowledge, and don't know the way to govern the world, and in the end they can only bring about their own defeat! And the force it relies on is mostly brave and ruthless outlaws, with little training and no discipline, and it is acceptable to deal with the corrupt officials and troops in the last days of the dynasty, and there is no chance of winning at all when fighting with foreign captives! ”
"So who should we support? Most of the feudal officials died at the hands of the unsubordinate, and at present, there are no leaders in the eastern part of the country, and even if the feudal officials are still alive, the ability of this generation is not enough to support! Charlemagne pinched the root of his nose a little sadly.
Shangguan Zhige was also silent, and after a long time, he said tentatively: "I heard that Buchen's kid's henchmen have not dispersed after leaving the Jingshi, but still maintain a complete organization, and are now heading west, can we support them?" ”
"But teacher, they've lost their footing!" Charlemagne frowned and said, he knows Ai Ai, who is currently in power in the remnants of the party, and this girl used to be his bodyguard when he fought the blood clan! It's also convenient to contact the relationship, but the other party has now become a homeless wandering army, and whether it can be relied on is really a question worth thinking about.
"Apprentice, I heard that they evacuated the capital with a large number of craftsmen, and they should still master the method of manufacturing fire~ guns and artillery, and the world is not subordinate to the beast chieftain Gongde coveted the sky, and now the power in this group of people Estelle is the confidant of the boy who is not subordinate, and he will definitely hate the beast captive to the bone, and the heart of resisting the beast captivity will be strong, we are better to help her than to help others!" Shangguan Zhige enumerated the various benefits of supporting the remnants of the party.
In fact, when Buchen's partners left Beijing, they took away not only the craftsmen in Buchen's arms factory, but also the entire high-level craftsmen in the Yamen! Some craftsmen were unwilling to leave their hometowns, so they used both hard and soft measures, promising high wages on the one hand, and coercing them with knives on the other, and tying up the high-level craftsmen to the carriage of the west!
"Teacher, you're the tallest of the short!" Charlemagne said with a wry smile.
Shangguan Lao'er smiled slyly and said, "Who made Dongguo not have a real 'tall man' now?" ”
"That's it!" Charlemagne finally made a decision: "Before finding a more reliable person, let's put some effort into the non-subordinate party!" Teacher, my intelligence agency is in your hands, and you will be responsible for contacting them! ”
"No!" This was an official order, and Shangguan Zhige didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly got up and responded.
Charlemagne waved his hand, motioned for his teacher to sit down, and instructed: "When you get in touch, you can try to get the mass production methods and gunpowder formulas of those firearms, if you can get it, it would be the best!" ”
"The emperor can rest assured, the old minister knows!" Shangguan Zhige said without smiling, although Charlie's tone was very casual, but now it is the emperor's order, and he has to deal with it seriously!
"Your Majesty?" Charlemagne chewed on these two words playfully, and when he spoke again, he had already changed his name: "Teacher, I am waiting for your good news!" ”
