Guo Kang didn't know if Jeanne had been hurt in any way, but it clearly made her extremely hostile to bows and arrows, and possibly the English who used them.

At the same time, perhaps to make up for the lack of long-range weapons, she is interested in firearms.

However, the effect of firearms in this era is still relatively limited. Guo Kang himself tosses these things every day, and he often communicates with people, so he is very clear about this. Even in the more "radical" military organizations of the Hussites, the largest number of long-range weapons are still the traditional crossbows.

Therefore, Guo Kang feels that it is not yet time to give up learning bows and arrows.

But Zhu Rangna just wasn't happy, so there was nothing he could do.

In order to take care of the family, Zhu Wenkui is simply both a father and a mother, and he is tired to watch. I can only hope that Jeanna will be considerate of her brother and not be so resistant.

"Everyone has their own merits, and Jeanne is not ready to be a gentleman. Archery is not very useful here, and if you don't learn it, you won't learn it. Guo Kangbang explained: "Anyway, she has a good understanding, and when she really needs it, she won't be slow to learn." ”

"We were here today to see the tanks and artillery. It's slow to prepare there, so I'm here to visit. He said to Li Anning: "Do you want to see the demonstration of the car formation with us?" ”

"Okay." Li Anning did not refuse. She looked at the artillery demonstration field on the other side, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you preparing ordnance?" Going to war? ”

"Huh?" Guo Kang asked curiously, "How did you come to such a conclusion?" ”

"Grandpa has been going to meetings every day for the past few days, and as soon as he comes back, he complains that there are too many people in Greece." Li Anning said: "Although he didn't say the content of the meeting, when it comes to this situation, isn't it all about joint action." ”

"And, I heard Theodora say that her brother was supposed to be in charge of writing the letters of state. As a result, the mission was suddenly canceled halfway, which made Tuohuan very happy. This was originally an important diplomatic matter recently, but it suddenly changed, and it is very likely that the Khan court got new information, and the situation on the Ming side did not match what was expected, and adjustments needed to be made. ”

"The Khan's court has always sought to open up the road to the East, and it is impossible to suddenly abandon the attempt of diplomatic contact, and the greatest possibility is that more preparations need to be made first. This could be the capture of the forward base, or it could be some other military operation, and the goal, of course, was to demonstrate sincerity and strength, which was indispensable according to the Khan's custom. ”

"You brought the prince and the little county lord here today, probably to prepare for contacting Daming in the future." She looked at the Zhu brothers and sisters: "This is also part of diplomacy?" ”

"You're quite serious about your analysis." Guo Kang looked surprised and replied, "But it's really not this time." ”

"Oh?" Li Anning tilted his head and looked at him.

"I heard that the Western Front is basically over, and the Great Khan is preparing for the class. Something has happened within the HRE, and Sigismund can't care about fighting us for territory. Guo Kang didn't answer her question directly, but said to himself: "When they come back to rotate, our group of people should go on the expedition." ”

"Originally, we did plan to send the credentials over and say hello to Shahru. The emissaries would depart from Syria, secretly pass through Egypt, enter the Indian Ocean, and then go ashore from the Persian region, passing through the Timurid Khanate to Eastern Chagatai. Chagatai Khan recently had a hot fight with the Ming Dynasty, and he also received the title of King Zhongshun. They will help to send the messenger to Yingtian. ”

However, the Khan's court received information from many sources that the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty seemed to have started a new round of war in the northeast and southeast. In this way, the situation will change regardless of who wins. If we write a letter of state, send it over, and wait for the Ming Dynasty to give feedback, I'm afraid it will be too late. Therefore, it is better to take the lead in taking action while the situation is still uncertain. ”

"You're right, it's really a show of sincerity to other people." Guo Kang said: "If you take the northern front, then you should attack the remnants of the White Horde. I heard that they have gathered again recently, and I don't know if they will cause trouble. And if you go south, it is likely to intervene in the internal disputes of the Mamluks. ”

"As for which side to fight, it doesn't matter to me." He said, spreading his hands: "You also know that the letter of state was prepared by the Great Khan on the order of the Great Khan, and the suspension was shouted by the queen. I can only attend a few meetings to consult and discuss information, and the final decision is none of my business. ”

"So, all I have to do is get my cannon and ordnance ready." He pointed to the venue: "I really just took them to see it, and wanted to ask for their opinions." Diplomacy has nothing to do with me anymore. If Theodora asks you, she will tell her so. ”

"I wasn't sent by Theodora to inspect the work, so I'm in a hurry to say this." Seeing that he was busy shirking responsibility again, Li Anning shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, I also understand what you mean......"

"Hey...... She inexplicably asked Shi Huizhen to ask me several times before, and asked me what I thought every day. I thought it was a little strange this time. It's all things she should know, and she asks me what I'm doing. Guo Kang was also a little embarrassed: "Actually, I didn't think about it so much." I'm thinking about my brother and the cannon. ”

"Are they experts in this area?" Li Anning glanced at Jeanna and asked.

"I think they're the experts." Guo Kang nodded firmly: "Not only them, there are many talents here, all of whom meet my needs." You see, the cavalry of the White Horde and the cavalry of the Mamluks are the most likely enemies to encounter in the near future. In this case, it is better not to think so much, improve the artillery car formation, and go into battle in the future, and have one more to rely on. ”

He and Li Anning chatted for a while, and Brother Zelik trotted over and said that he was ready. Guo Kang invited her to take a look.

"Good. If I go on an expedition to Egypt, then I want to go with it. Just to see in advance whether these ordnance is reliable. Li Anning said.

"You're going? What are you going to do. Guo Kang hurriedly refused: "We are not Persians, what are we doing with our female dependents in a war?" ”

"Then let's get back to it." She waved her hand, said to take the horse back first, let Guo Kang wait for her, and left.

Watching her leave, Guo Kang let out a long sigh.

"Guo Gongzi, what's wrong?" Zhu Wenkui asked with concern: "I thought it was fine at first, why did you feel that you were suddenly nervous." ”

"Hey, I was quite happy, but I was taken aback when I suddenly said that she was talking to Theodora, and I suspected that they had a small meeting in the palace before coming." Guo Kang said in distress: "You don't know how scary those Greek women are. ”

"What's wrong with the Greek woman?" Jeanne asked suspiciously, "Also, why can't you let the woman go?" I want to go to the front, too. ”

"Don't mess around." Guo Kang replied helplessly: "She has always wanted to see the pyramids and the ruins of the ancient tomb sect or something, but in fact, it is just a tour." You're following in the fun. ”

"If I want to be a general, I have to study early." Jeanne said confidently: "And I can take Nurhachi with me, don't worry about me." ”

"Take it?" Zhu Wenkui's eyes widened and he glanced at the wild boar next to him: "Then you ...... It's a bit cruel to the Mamluks. ”
