Chapter 114: Hua Guo and Xiguo
The ancestors interpreted that "when the descendants of Yan and Huang fall into crisis, there will be heavenly soldiers and generals to help." "Got the right answer?
And Long Xueyao said that Cheng Lu was a sinner, that is, the Cheng family ran out without permission, which violated the ancestral teachings of the hermit in the Snow Mountain.
It really does.
But......
"Cheng Lu was indeed caught by me, as well as Cheng Tang and Cheng Wu. However, we have been fighting for so long, how can we let go of what we have finally caught? ”
"What if you don't judge? What if you invade Bactria again? ”
Long Xueyao: "Facts have proven that Great Xia's military strength can easily win, so why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worry?" ”
Chen Mu smiled, "Having said that, Your Excellency can't ask for it empty-handed, right?" ”
Long Xueyao breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Chen Mu was ready to agree, but he just put forward additional conditions. The purpose of her visit this time was to bring the Cheng family back to prevent the secrets of the Snow Mountain from falling into the hands of Great Xia.
As for the conditions, she had already prepared them.
Long Xueyao nodded to the guard next to him, and the guard untied the holster of the pistol from his waist and presented it along with the pistol.
Chen Mu's guards stepped forward to take it, inspected it, and then handed it to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu took the gun in his hand, studied it, and found that there was no difference from his rear-loading flintlock pistol, but the model was a little smaller.
Chen Mu smiled slightly, "Show our guns to Ms. Long." ”
The guards next to him presented the muskets, and Long Xueyao took it and looked at it, and understood. It turned out that Chen Mu had already mastered this technique, and her first plan had already died.
Moreover, there is a layer of soft and slippery things on the musket bullets of the Great Xia Army. Although Long Xueyao didn't understand what this was for, her intuition told her that this must be an advanced technology.
Long Xueyao thought for a moment and decided to come up with the highest conditions directly.
She pulled out a paper bag from her bosom and asked the guards to present it.
"This is the drawing of the steamship, which we studied by the way when we were studying the steam engine, and we didn't need it in the snowy mountains, so we gave it to His Royal Highness the Prince."
"A small courtesy, not a tribute."
Chen Mu took it and looked at it twice, this drawing is very detailed, including what part of the ship is used with what materials, what kind of heat treatment is needed, the handmade process of the propeller and so on.
If you leave it to the Faculty of Engineering to do its own research, it will be possible to do it over a period of time, but it will definitely consume a lot of time, energy, and materials.
With this drawing of Long Xueyao, Daxia can directly produce ships. The Faculty of Engineering, on the other hand, can conduct other research.
After reading it, Chen Mu smiled and said: "Your technical research is good, this drawing is very valuable." ”
Long Xueyao smiled and saluted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes it." ”
Chen Mu said to the guards again: "Go, bring those three people over." ”
"Yes!"
The guards went down to give orders, and in a short time they brought three prisoner carts.
Long Xueyao came out to see that the three prisoner cars still had hooks, which could be placed behind the steam locomotive for traction. Cheng Lu and the other three were tied up sturdily, kneeling in the prison car, with socks stuffed in their mouths.
When they saw Long Xueyao, they looked very excited, but Long Xueyao ignored them.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."
Chen Mu: "Miss Long is polite, this is going west, it is Xiqiang and Persia, why don't we go together." ”
When Long Xueyao came, he arrived in Tongtian County first, and then came under the escort of the Great Xia Army, and now Chen Mu proposed to go with him, which is also logical.
Long Xueyao saluted, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
The three prisoners were handed over to Long Xueyao, and the Great Xia Army reorganized again, and then set out on the way home again.
The journey was safe, and when they came to the outside of Tongtian County, the two parties should be separated. Chen Mu continued to the east, while Long Xueyao was about to turn west and enter the snow-capped mountains.
Four small white steam locomotives were parked on the road, three of which were towing three prisoner cars.
Long Xueyao stood in front of the car and said to Chen Mu: "Brother Chen, thank you very much for your assistance. I believe that with Brother Chen's ingenuity, Daxia will definitely prosper. ”
Chen Mu smiled and said: "You are the same, I believe that the technology of the Snow Mountain will be more advanced." ”
Along the way, the two chatted quite closely, Long Xueyao did not divulge more secrets, but just talked about steam engines and mechanical transmission.
Chen Mu learned a lot of systematic knowledge, and Long Xueyao was also amazed by Chen Mu's understanding ability and unique insights.
At this time, there is a taste of reluctance.
Long Xueyao turned around and got into the car and waved lightly to Chen Mu.
At this moment, billowing smoke appeared in the west, as if something had run over.
Chen Mu shouted: "Alert! ”
The soldiers reacted immediately, the steam tracked car slowly turned, the muzzle of the gun turned to the west, and the musketeers raised their guns to aim.
Long Xueyao and the others were also nervous, not knowing what was going on.
The smoke and dust were getting closer and closer, and Long Xueyao's guards saw the comer first.
"It's our car."
Chen Mu waved his hand when he heard this, and the musketeers all put down their guns.
The car was getting closer and closer, and everyone could see clearly that it was indeed the same car as Long Xueyao and the others. There were three men in the car, all looking very flustered.
When he came closer, a man got out of the car, came to Long Xueyao's side, and whispered:
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, the battle report on the western border, there are thousands of soldiers from the Western Kingdom, carrying artillery to attack, Huaxi Pass has been breached, please Her Royal Highness the Princess return to China to preside over the overall situation."
Long Xueyao's face changed greatly, someone must have leaked secrets, and the Western Kingdom would press the border with troops for the sake of treasures.
And now they can neither give up their treasures nor fight back. With their level of technology, if they fight with all their might.
Otherwise, the snow-capped mountain vein will suffer a catastrophe.
Long Xueyao was silent for a long time, and then made a decision that went against his ancestors.
She turned around and got out of the car, came to Chen Mu, and gave a deep salute.
"Brother Chen, now that the country has changed, please send troops to help."
Chen Mu was very surprised, when will another Huaguo come out?
The people behind Long Xueyao were even more shocked, Her Royal Highness the Princess actually wanted to let the Great Xia people enter the Snow Mountain?
But they have a low status and dare not say more. What's more, now that Her Royal Highness the princess has spoken, it is impossible to regret it.
Chen Mu: "There is still a Huaguo in the snowy mountains? What's going on now? How much army aid is needed? ”
Long Xueyao looked around, "Let's find a place to talk." ”
Chen Mu nodded, asked someone to set up a tent, and then guarded it layer by layer. The two parties entered the tent, and Long Xueyao said:
"Brother Chen, there are two countries in the snow-capped mountains, there is my Hua country, which has the same root and origin as Great Xia, and there is another western country, which is divided from Hua and is a different race."
"Now the population of the two countries is about 5,000."
