Section 262 The Prince

What's more, the Twelve Dancing Girls have absolute loyalty to Yang Tianhong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, it is difficult for these spiritual root people selected from among the displaced people to achieve the same degree. Of course, they would be grateful to Yang Tianhong for giving them the opportunity to become a monk. However, as time goes by, the individual becomes stronger and stronger, and the mind and ideas also change. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. If you want these people to obey orders honestly and regard themselves as the only masters, you can only control them firmly by your side, and your own cultivation strength will far surpass them, and they will be completely brainwashed at the specified time...... In this way, potential hazards can be minimized.

The world is changing every minute. After Yang Tianhong left Anzhou, Feige sent news of the successful development of black powder.

I don't know why, the degree of scientific development in this world is much lower than in the other world. In just 5,000 years, humans from another world have stepped out of the earth and begun to explore the depths of the universe. However, here, the level of science and technology is extremely low, and people have no concept of the word "research" at all. However, this is a good thing in Yang Tianhong's view. There are no muskets, no cannons, everything advanced is equal to zero here.

In fact, the current stage of scientific and technological strength is not as backward as imagined. Even with Yang Tianhong's critical eye, he still found a lot of unexpected surprises here.

To the west of Anju, there are huge reserves of pyrite. As long as it is slightly refined, it can obtain good quality sulfuric acid. This kind of thing is the basis of modern chemistry, and it is also the raw material that most military products do not need to be missing. Making black powder was only the first step, and in Yang Tianhong's plan, picric acid would become a crucial part of artillery. As long as there is this kind of thing, guns in the pure sense will be born.

Right now. Anju is home to some of the most advanced and crazy craftsmen in the world. These people were paid a staggeringly high salary, and Yang Tianhong was arranged by Yang Tianhong to desperately develop everything he needed in a completely closed environment. What relies on external forces to change the inherent scientific and technological progress is to kill chickens and take eggs, which is simply nonsense. For this world, Yang Tianhong actually has no feelings. If he can develop a nuclear warhead, he will not hesitate to throw a few at the top of Taiyi Palace. Of course, for Taiyi Palace, Yang Tianhong has no hatred. It's just that I don't like the group of high-ranking monks in Taiyi Palace. Why do you have to make the rules of the world? Why do you have to decide all the big and small matters of the monks? Even if this world is about to be destroyed, what can you idiots from Taiyi Palace do? Except for hiding in the cave and standing by, these **** will not reach out to save an ordinary person from the disaster at all.

The Anju Research Institute has complete drawings of firearms. Yang Tianhong listed the original gunpowder gun as a teaching material, and directly set the research product at the height of the rifle. He didn't need any firecrackers. That kind of thing is almost zero lethal to monks. There is no doubt that the rifle is far more threatening and lethal than the arquebus. Only when this weapon is truly successfully developed, can Yang Tianhong grasp the hole cards that are enough to save his life.

He really wanted to get a weapon like an AK. This kind of thing is a message from the brain of the gatekeeper of the Delicate Treasure Lock, the mysterious person who came from another world for some unknown reason. The pronunciation of the two letters "AK" seems to Yang Tianhong to be very obscure, and he does not understand the meaning at all. But it doesn't matter. It's just a firearm codename. What Yang Tianhong is really interested in is the extremely powerful firepower of the AK assault rifle. The reason why the black iron ring was successfully developed is largely because of the inspiration of this kind of thing.

Meng Qi is a very obedient subordinate. He spared no effort to tap talents from all over the world. What celebrity Coats is absolutely not. Anju needs craftsmen. Especially those excellent craftsmen who have a special knowledge of steel, textiles, machinery, shipbuilding, etc. Yang Tianhong's order is very clear: no matter who anyone, any skill, or any conditions are proposed, as long as they are approved by the Anzhou research department, all the conditions proposed by the other party can be agreed.

It's really easy to get things done.

In his reply, Yang Tianhong congratulated the successful development of black powder. At the same time, it also said. The progress of artillery research must be accelerated. Especially in terms of range and power, everything possible must be perfect. This is the key to whether Yang Tong's naval army can cross the seas. If there has been no progress in artillery. Then the sea area that the Anzhou Navy can control, and the role it will play in the future war, will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

What's more, the progress of artillery research is also related to Yang Tianhong's ability to truly control power in the cultivation world. Zhang Yan and others' research on psionic energy has also made good progress. They have found a theoretical way to refine the spar into a purer crystal. This kind of thing is the equivalent of black powder. Without them, the Crystal Cannons would not be able to exert their power in any way. Yang Tianhong had calculated that as long as he had a certain number of crystal energy cannons, then even if the Taiyi Palace poured out, even all the sects in the entire cultivation world would declare war on the Guiyuan Sect. The sect can still stand.

What can the monk do? In front of the infinitely powerful crystal cannon, it is not a bombardment, and all of them are dead.

All of this is still in the drawing stage. Especially for the crystal cannon, if the Anzhou Research Institute does not have a systematic and perfect theory and the expansion of the physical aspect, then the research of Zhang Yan's team will naturally be fruitless. The Guiyuan Sect Flame Hall does have a unique experience in forging, but for a cannon that has transcended several eras, it is impossible to understand the mystery of it. According to Yang Tianhong's plan, the Anzhou Research Institute must first come up with a sample of the artillery, and Zhang Yan's team will use this as a reference, and only after the two are combined with each other can they really produce the crystal energy cannon they want.

It's complicated, it's cumbersome, but it's by far the most effective and the most likely way to turn paper theory into reality.

As soon as Yang Tianhong arranged a reply to Anzhou, Dongfang Kong, the head of the chamberlain, came to the door.

With a few simple polite words, Dongfang Kong said his intention straightforwardly: "Grandpa hurry up and follow our family to the palace." Now, it's getting a little tricky. His Majesty was annoyed, and he didn't know who leaked the news of the birthmark on Princess Wenyuan's face, causing the city to be full of storms and troubles. ”

Yang Tianhong frowned. He asked, "What's the trouble?" Could it be that there are still people coveting the princess?"

Dongfang Kong nodded heavily and sighed, "This time the matter is very tricky. Grandpa should know that the Wei State and the Qi State are adjacent to my Great Chu, and they are both allies who signed contracts in the early years. At that time, this was done to deal with the Qin State in the west. Then there's Rong Di from the north. This alliance agreement was signed during the reign of Emperor Xianzong. In all fairness, over the years, Wei and Qi have also done well. Especially the Qi State, which has almost shared about fifty percent of the pressure on Rong Di. If this situation continues, it will also be very beneficial to my Dachu. However, just last month, the princes of Wei and Qi came to the capital to consult with His Majesty about the drought and the displacement. Speaking of which, the area of drought suffered by their two countries is even more than that of our Chu country. In accordance with the Triple Pact. You should help each other. Both Wei and Qi have asked us to provide assistance in terms of rice and grain. Grandpa, you also know that our own troubles have not been solved, where is the surplus food to support others? Your Majesty is worried about this matter, but I don't know which guy who is not long-sighted leaked the matter of Princess Wenyuan. Now, the princes of Wei and Qi have both proposed to His Majesty to marry. Even threatened to cancel the Triple Covenant. ”

Yang Tianhong's eyes suddenly became sharp and full of killing intent. He took a deep breath, raised his head, looked in the direction of the imperial city in the distance, and asked lightly, "According to what Dongfang Gonggong said." The princes of the two countries are currently in the palace?"

Dongfang Kong leaned the dust in his hand into his arms, and said seriously: "The princes of the two countries have noble status. Your Majesty naturally wants to hold a banquet to entertain you. That's not the most troublesome problem, though. The envoy Moto of Rongdi did not know where to get the news, and broke into the palace more than an hour ago. His Majesty had no choice but to arrange his place at the banquet. ”

Yang Tianhong's eyes were full of cold chills: "What's the matter, Rong Di also wants to intervene in Princess Wenyuan's marriage?"

Dongfang Kong's face was very ugly. He has never had a good impression of Rong Di: "Just before the grandfather entered Beijing." The envoy of Rong Di mentioned to His Majesty the family affairs of Princess Wenyuan and wanted to replace Princess Heqin. At that time, His Majesty prevaricated with words. Originally, he wanted to bribe Moto with more gold, silver and jewelry, but who would have thought that this person would receive benefits but still have the same attitude. He kept saying that if he couldn't meet the requirements, Rong Di's million-strong army would immediately break the barrier. Burn, kill and plunder in the territory of my Great Chu. His Majesty was furious about this, but there was nothing he could do. In desperation, I could only let our family come over and order my grandfather to enter the palace to calm down the situation. ”

This kind of thing can't be regarded as Emperor Shunming's excuse. Yang Tianhong could understand the embarrassment of Emperor Shunming's matter. If he had a million soldiers in his hands, Emperor Shunming would not dare to be angry in front of the two princes and the envoy of Rong Di. It is precisely because the envoys of the border towns hold power and do not obey the imperial edicts that this has led to today's situation. Speaking of which, these things are also the cause and effect planted by the emperors of the Chu State. At that time, it seemed to be a good move, but no one thought that it would become like this now.

Yang Tianhong was not busy changing his clothes and followed Dongfang Kong into the palace. He pondered for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Dare to ask my father-in-law, do you know that the news of Princess Wenyuan's appearance has been leaked repeatedly, who is the hand?"

A hint of gloom flashed in Dongfang Kong's eyes: "Who else could there be?" Of course, it's the queen mother. Previously, Rong Di's envoy entered the palace to coerce His Majesty, and it was the queen who made an obstacle. For this matter, the grandfather must have heard of it. It is said that after the grandfather talked to the queen in the palace a few days ago, the queen was furious and smashed all the objects in the palace. Now that I think about it, the queen must have been resentful of her grandfather's words that day, so she ordered people to spread the word about Princess Wenyuan's beauty. The princes of Wei and Qi must have entered the palace together because of this. ”

"Got it!"

Yang Tianhong nodded lightly, looked at the direction of the imperial city again and sneered: "This father wanted to let her go for the sake of His Majesty's face, but I didn't expect this person to be so angry that he did crazy things one after another. Okay, let my father make a decision on this matter. Whether it is the Wei State or the Qi State, or the Rong Di envoy, as long as they dare to stretch out their hands to Princess Wenyuan, this prince will definitely make them regret living in this world. ”

......

Banquets in the imperial city have always been an indispensable event. The southern water network of Chu is vertical and horizontal, and it is a natural land of fish and rice. Especially in terms of silkworms, it has a unique superior environment. Therefore, the price of silk is also much cheaper than in other countries. This benefit and convenience are reflected in the luxurious dress of the men and women in the palace. It looks colorful and dazzling.

When Yang Tianhong walked up to the main hall, Rong Di's envoy Moto was sitting there shouting wildly.

"Why hasn't Princess Wenyuan come out yet? Princess Wenyuan, who was supposed to be seen, hurry up and let Princess Wenyuan come out to dance. It is said that Princess Wenyuan is unparalleled in her beauty, and she must come out first to let the envoy take a look, and then go back to serve Da Shan Yu. ”

Moto wears a leather robe. That's a nice thing to say. It's rugged and heroic. It's not nice to say, but it's actually vulgar and barbaric. Behind him stood two Rong Di guards, also dressed in similar attire. Eating beef and mutton for many years makes these people exude an extremely strong smell. The wine and food arranged by the court of Chu State are very exquisite, but the food of Moto and the others is really ugly. From a distance, it looks like three wild boars lying on the table eating seaweed, drinking like a buffalo, which has nothing to do with the word "human" at all.

Yi Qi, the third prince of Wei, was very obese, and he occupied most of the food table alone. The surname "Yi" is rare. It is also the exclusive use of the Wei royal family. He wore a flat crown of hair on his head, and his clothes were quite loose, which looked very casual. On the fat face, the fat even has a feeling that it may fall down at any time. Regarding the barbaric style of the Rongdi envoy Moto, Yi Qi seemed very disdainful. It's just that, on such occasions, it is clearly not a place for argument. As many as dozens of empty plates were placed in front of Yi Qi, and he visually inspected them. He ate the equivalent of at least seven or eight people.

Kuang Mu, the fourth prince of Qi State, is very tall, and his face looks very gloomy. He has deep eye sockets. It is said that this is inherited from the mother's distant alien bloodline. The State of Qi, like the State of Chu, borders on Rong Di, and is no different from the State of Chu for threats from the north. It's just that the military strength of the Qi State is strong, and on the whole, it is full of more than three percent of the Chu State. Emperor Qi was quite wise. For the north Rong Di to defend to the death, at the same time to send troops to the west to continue to expand the territory area. In the past few hundred years, the Qi State has successively defeated the small states of the Western Regions, such as Yueshi, Laneige, Su Heng, and Morasha, and annexed large tracts of land, and its national strength has also become stronger. In order to avoid war. The rest of the small countries in the Western Regions trembled in front of the Qi State, and offered gold and silver beauties for refuge. The mother of the fourth prince, Kuang Mu, was a beautiful woman from the Western Regions who was dedicated to Emperor Qi many years ago. Because of this, Kuang Mu has a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets like people from the Western Regions, and even his eyes have a little bit of green.

Kuang Mu also disliked the Rong Di envoy. Compared with Yi Qi, the prince of Wei, his dislike for Moto is much deeper. Kuang Mu has always hated his bloodline, and he also thinks that his bloodline is impure and has not been recognized by the royal family of Qi. This mentality has made him less talkative, but it has also honed his excellent abilities. Compared with other princes of the Qi Kingdom, Kuang Mu can be regarded as one of the best, and he is also deeply trusted by the Emperor of Qi. However, on the issue of enthronement, the opinions of the important ministers of Qi and the Qi Emperor were not harmonious. Many people think that the fourth prince Kuang Mu is a foreign race, and his bloodline is placed here. At most, you can only be crowned a prince, and you can't become an emperor anyway.

Kuang Mu didn't know what channel Yi Qi had learned about Princess Wenyuan's unparalleled beauty. Kuang Mu attached great importance to the diplomacy between the Chu states, and also believed that the Qi state could increase its strength through marriage with the Chu state. The drought caused by the catastrophe is also far-reaching for the country. The number of displaced people in the north even far exceeded that of the Chu State. Although Emperor Qi repeatedly ordered the transfer of grain from the south to help the victims, it was only a drop in the bucket. It is impossible for local tycoons to let go of such an opportunity in vain. They have an almost insane desire to possess land. The victims could not survive in the barren fields, so they had to leave their homes and go out to beg. The local tyrants took the opportunity to occupy the land of the victims, colluded with the government, and turned the land contract into their own name. By the time the victims returned, everything had changed beyond recognition. The peasants were completely turned into tenants, and even into slaves.

Kuang Mu knew these things clearly, but he couldn't do anything. He was only a prince, and the ministers of the court and China had always been suspicious and distant from him. Except for trying to strengthen his own strength, Kuang Mu couldn't do anything. Moreover, ministers also play the role of predators in the midst of disasters. A considerable number of the millions of victims in the north have become domestic slaves of the ministers of the DPRK and China. In this regard, Emperor Qi himself is also well aware. Disheartened, Kuang Mu could only choose to go to the state of Chu and take the initiative to undertake diplomatic affairs.

On the question of whether Princess Wenyuan is beautiful or not, Kuang Mu himself is not interested in it at all. In his opinion, even if Princess Wenyuan is as ugly as a pig, he will marry her and become a princess. The power in the Qi dynasty has long been divided by several imperial brothers. Even if his inheritance is higher, I am afraid that it is still difficult to sit on the dragon chair because of the bloodline. Instead of chattering with the old and immortal ministers at home, it is better to change the angle and get help from other aspects. (To be continued.) )
