Chapter 712: The Wheel of History Continues to Grind

No matter how this son can't stop him, according to Queen Dou's words, this is her daughter, even if she doesn't need it, but as a mother and grandmother, she should take out these things.

"Respectfully, sister." Wujian also rushed over, looking at Yaoguang, whose belly had not moved at all, he couldn't help but be a little envious. Compared to Yaoguang, who has a husband as his companion every day, Wujian does have some resentment.

His husband, except for the time when he was newly married, did not return to Chang'an, returned to his wife, and even the little guy, from birth to the present, has not seen what his father looks like.

I hugged little Li An, looking at the scene in front of me, my heart was full of warmth, but unfortunately, Li Yuan's old guy was still stubbornly lying in Shanxi and was unwilling to move his nest, otherwise, returning to Chang'an to tease Sun is actually a very good choice.

Mother and Queen Dou got together happily, I don't know what to talk and laugh in a low voice, I think about it, it must be related to the little guy who has not yet been born and is not more than two and a half months pregnant.

This feeling makes people very relaxed and comfortable, let go and let Xiao Li An follow my two daughters to play, listen to Yaoguang and her mother chatting without a word, and Qingxia who looked at the three children naughty and smiled.

It feels really good, this is life, at this moment, the so-called national events suddenly become very distant, I really want to lie down well, just look at the warm and touching scene.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother?" The old five ghosts leaned over to my side and whispered.

"Yu?" I looked up at the culprit who had broken my thoughts, warm and understanding, and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Du Shangshu is here, waiting for you in the living room, saying that he has important information." Lao Wuyi laughed and whispered.

Damn, if you don't come early or late, you have to take advantage of the day of rest, it's really speechless, but this guy must have something big, otherwise, he wouldn't have come to my house so easily. "Well, then you are watching here, and you will come when you go for your brother."

When I came to the living room, I saw Du Ruhui tasting tea there with a relaxed face, and I couldn't help but smile. "Seeing that you are so relaxed, I want to let me know the good news today, right?"

"Your Majesty's words are very good, and it is indeed good news." Du Ruhui put down the teacup, bowed to me, and presented the letter.

"Found the copper mine?" When I saw what was written in the letter, I couldn't help but laugh easily.

"Yes, I didn't expect it to be so soon, I arrived there at the end of autumn, and at the beginning of spring, the mineral deposits have already been discovered, presumably this winter, they have been busy braving the wind and snow." Du Ruhui nodded, and said with emotion.

"Well, they're struggling too." I nodded, frowning slightly. Fortunately, the letter said that except for a few people who had frostbite because they didn't pay attention to keeping warm, everyone else was fine. In addition, only one of the people who suffered frostbite had to have their limbs amputated because of severe frostbite, and the others have almost recovered.

According to the letter, this copper mining area is extremely vast, and the reserves are absolutely staggering, certainly no less than the kind of copper found in Luzon today. At present, the Eastern Turks have sent a tribe of about 30,000 people to this area, and under the command of those whom I have sent in the past, they have begun to build houses, build mines, and other preliminary works.

In this way, the Eastern Turks also attach great importance to this mining area, so they will send such a medium tribe with a population of 30,000 to come, in addition to mining, naturally there is also the idea of protecting the mining area.

In addition, according to the news from Dingxiang City, Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao live well in Dingxiang City, at least under the care of Princess Youyicheng, the ancestors and grandchildren are still healthy.

Empress Xiao has no interest in counterattacking the Central Plains, but Princess Yicheng is a staunch counteroffensive. But now, after establishing a heavy metal trade of copper for iron with our Chinese Empire, Princess Yicheng also knows very well that now is not a good time to go south to fight, at least not a good opportunity to start a war with the Chinese Empire.

In addition, the situation in the land of Shanxi, seemingly calm, is actually a little suffocating, after Li Mi was canonized as the Khan of Lishi, in the land of Lishi began to recruit soldiers and horses, but surprisingly with Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou peaceful coexistence, although there were some conflicts during the period, but both sides were quite tacitly restrained.

And Li Yuan began to be very angry and unwilling, originally thinking of taking advantage of Li Mi's unstable foothold and leading a large army to kill him, but Li Mi was very well guarded, so Li Yuan really couldn't find a chance. In desperation, he could only coexist peacefully with Li Mi, and now he has become calm. In other words, he has accepted Li Mi's betrayal, and for half a year, Li Mi really has no willingness to be his enemy. Therefore, Li Yuan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the land of Shanxi, which was originally occupied by Li Yuan, has already shown a situation of being occupied by several families. Although Li Yuan still held most places, he was faced with enemies on all sides and was in a dilemma.

Although Li Yuan's situation is critical now, in order to maintain the stability of the territory, he really can't recruit soldiers and horses on a large scale, but he has taken a lot of food and weapons from my side.

Although it was a friendship price, it was enough for Li Yuan to vomit three liters of blood. As for Wang Shichong, he still has a love for Xiao Miao, not that he doesn't want to pounce on Shanxi to bite it, but the current movement in Guanzhong makes him understand that he must not march north, otherwise, it is very likely that his territory will be attacked by the powerful Huaxia Revival Army before he has taken advantage of Li Yuan.

Therefore, Wang Shichong is now only in a state of confrontation with Shanxi, and continues to fight with Xiao Mo in the south, cutting Liang Guo's flesh with a small knife. Skirmishes between the two sides are constantly occurring.

Although Xiao Mo asked me for advice many times, the problem was that such a skirmish was exactly what I hoped for, and although the skirmishing between the two sides would not cause major turmoil, it would attract the attention of both sides.

The important thing is that in the war, it is difficult for them to develop and grow, which is very helpful to the process of our Chinese Empire's domination of the world.

Therefore, this prince morally condemned Wang Shichong's behavior, and expressed my anger and dissatisfaction to the envoys of the Liang State, but, after all, this is a war between two forces, and it is this kind of small-scale conflict, although I am His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, it is impossible for me to take care of any trivial and broken matter in the world.

Therefore, while sympathizing with Liang Guo, I generously sold a large amount of grain, cotton cloth and weapons to Liang Guo, and of course, I also sold a lot of food and weapons to Wang Shichong half-pushed and half-sold.

There is no way, I can't let one side be too strong and the other side too weak, in order to maintain the balance of power between the two sides, let them continue to fight, so maintaining the balance of their strength is my responsibility as the son of heaven of the Chinese Empire.

Now, Wang Shichong and Xiao Miao, like two boxers of equal strength, are competing for victory, and I, an excellent, wise referee, are working hard to blow the black whistle, send nutrients to the red pants players, and send steel needles to the black pants players, so that they must fight until they are exhausted, and they all collapse in the ring, so that the final victor can become me, the referee who continues to stand in the ring.

Now, General Qu Tutong has already waved his army to bypass Poyang Lake and come to the east side of Poyang Lake, that is, the east of Jiujiang, Jiujiang, which is Xiao Miao's forces, but even if this guy sees Qu Tutong swaggering through the market from the door, he does not dare to express any dissatisfaction.

And after General Qu Tutong came here, he had already come to the border of Li Zitong's territory. However, Li Zitong, who competed with Du Fuwei's 100,000-strong army, was not too touched. It seems that there is only the mortal enemy Du Fuwei in the eyes of the affectionate vein.

And Qin Qiong is trudging hard in the coastal area, there are too many mountains here, and the road is difficult, plus this area is mostly dominated by those heroes who are not ranked, no one wants to give in like this, so Qin Qiong is completely walking all the way and fighting all the way.

Fortunately, the Chinese Renaissance Army had amazing combat effectiveness, coupled with supplies from the sea, so it was finally able to move forward slowly but resolutely. And the navy is now more and more important to them, landing and replenishing from the coast, this alone is enough for Qin Qiong's troops to save a lot of manpower and material resources, and there is a more important reason that there is no need to worry about being cut off from logistics and supplies.

In addition, when attacking Quanzhou, there was once an old Sui naval division that wanted to clean up a naval division from Jiaozhi that was trapped in Quanzhou Port, saying that it was a partial division, because only eight warships came, although there were only eight warships, but each battleship was of 300 tons, and each battleship had sixteen ballistae on it, and there were also 150 crossbowmen on board.

And here in Quanzhou, although there are more than fifty warships, there are three ships in the building, and the rest of the fighting ships, hazy and other things, in front of the warships of the Chinese Imperial Navy, are like kindergarten children and fully armed warriors.

Of the more than 50 warships, five were sunk, all of them were blown up by ballistas, and I don't know if it was because of the distance or God's blessing, all of the five ships that sank fled ashore. And two of them are even building ships, so the sailors here in Quanzhou finally understand what choice they should make.

Such a navy is absolutely unheard of in this era. And the explosive projectiles fired by the ballistas above made them desperately unable to resist

Therefore, there is only unconditional surrender, but not all towns are near the sea, so some towns can only be attacked by Qin Qiong leading the Huaxia Revival Army. The Huaxia Revival Army used their weapons beyond this era to attack cities, so they were able to take down cities one after another at a very small price.
