Chapter 59: King Han's Intentions

Zhao Yao, who plunged into the rubber experiment, did not return to the Han Mansion for several days, but Uncle Gao was used to it. During this time, Uncle Gao was not idle. Ever since he got his pistol, he has been busy practicing marksmanship. When he used to follow He Lianfang, he was a famous archer, and whenever he heard his name, he would be terrified.

Although good archery does not mean good marksmanship, good archery means good eyesight, and it is very possible to learn marksmanship well.

Zhao Yao saw that Uncle Gao was like an unemployed vagrant all day long, so he arranged an errand for him to train the recruits of the Shenji Battalion.

Uncle Gao used to be an experienced general, although he had not fought for many years and did not lead troops, it was more than enough for him to train the recruits of the Shenji Battalion.

"Your Highness is really amazing for this Divine Machine Battalion." Uncle Gao sighed, "If you let the capital know about the existence of the Shenji Battalion...... his words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious.

He Lianfang said in a calm tone: "This is just a simple version. ”

"Simple version, what do you mean?" Uncle Gao listened with question marks, "Is there a complicated version?" ”

"Now the firearm used by the Shenji Battalion is the original version, and the Han King will improve the firearm in the future, and the firepower, accuracy, and range will be better than now." He Lianfang knew Zhao Yao's future plans for the Shenji Battalion, "The Shenji Battalion will become an existence that shocks the Great Zhou and foreign countries in the future. ”

Uncle Gao nodded approvingly: "Swords and guns can't stop the bullets of the firearms, and when I return to the Wa Kingdom, I will also get a magic machine battalion." ”

He Lianfang glanced at Uncle Gao, "Do you have a fire gun?" ”

Uncle Gao was stunned when he asked this sharp question. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "No." ”

He Lianfang continued to pour Uncle Gao's cold water and said, "At present, there is not enough firearms, and King Han will not give you a lot." When you're gone, it would be nice to give you a handful or two. ”

"A handful or two?" Uncle Gao was obviously not satisfied, "Can't you send ten?" ”

He Lianfang gave Uncle Gao a cold look at this.

Uncle Gao lowered his shoulders, and his face was full of disappointment.

He Lianfang emphasized: "The fire gun is very precious now, don't even think about it. ”

Uncle Gao still didn't give up: "I cheekily beg Your Highness, only ten are enough, I want to establish a Shenji Battalion personal guard." ”

He Lianfang said in a light tone: "Then you'd better kowtow to King Han three times." ”

"As long as you can give me a fire gun and kowtow ten heads, I am willing."

He Lianfang asked, "Over there in the Dark Guard Camp, have you go?" ”

"Go." After Uncle Gao finished speaking, he clenched his fists towards He Lianfang, "General, it is worthy of you, this secret guard battalion is even more powerful than ours back then." ”

"Although I am in charge of the Secret Guard Camp, all the training of the Secret Guard Camp is formulated by King Han."

Uncle Gao, who was drinking tea, was so shocked that he almost squirted out a sip of tea, "What, Your Highness formulated it, isn't it you, the general?" ”

"It's not me, it's the King of Han." He Lianfang added, "He also formulated the new method of training sergeants. ”

Speaking of the barracks, Uncle Gao thought of another thing, and said with a surprised face: "The military dogs in the barracks were also made by His Highness, right?" ”

"Yes, he said that dogs have sensitive noses and can spot enemies when they are patrolling." He Lianfang said, "He also said that Lingnan is surrounded by foreign countries on three sides, and it must be patrolled every day, otherwise the foreigners will sneak into the Great Zhou." ”

"Your Highness is right, dogs not only have a sensitive nose, but also have a fast speed, and most importantly, they have a certain attack power." Uncle Gao said with a smile, "It's really a shame for His Highness to let the soldiers and dogs cooperate with the patrol." ”

"He's always had a lot of ideas."

"I see that in the barracks, the soldiers cooperate well with the dogs, and the dogs really obey orders." Some time ago, Uncle Gao went to visit the Praetorian Guard Camp and was deeply shocked. "Your Highness's method of training soldiers, do you have any methods on your side, general?"

"What, you want to train your people with this set?"

Uncle Gao nodded: "Yes, this new training method of His Highness is really good. ”

"I don't, you can ask King Han for it." He Lianfang also agrees with Zhao Yao's new training method.

"The posture of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion is very upright, all of them are majestic and high-spirited, this is the spirit that a soldier should have." Ever since he saw the soldiers of Zhao Yao's Praetorian Guard Battalion, Uncle Gao has been very disgusted with the people around him, as if he hadn't eaten enough. "When will Your Highness come back?"

"He can't come back for a while." He Lianfang said, "He is busy planting rice now. ”

"Ah, rice planting?" Uncle Gao had just finished being surprised, and suddenly remembered that he saw the seedlings in the rice field on the way back to the Han Palace, and said with a sudden face, "When I came back, I saw many people planting seedlings. In this way, I will not be able to see His Highness for a while. ”

Zhao Yao, who was missed by Uncle Gao, is now bending over and planting seedlings in the terraced fields he has cultivated.

During spring ploughing, Zhao Yao took the lead in plowing the land. Now that he has started planting rice, he naturally wants to continue to take the lead.

After planting the seedlings, Zhao Yao returned to the Han Palace. In fact, he didn't want to go back to the palace, and wanted to stay in the Beishan laboratory to do rubber experiments, but the ministers did not allow him to stay in Beishan all the time.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Zhao Yao not only had to go to the court, but also had a lot of political affairs to deal with.

When Uncle Gao saw Zhao Yao, he was like a withered grass, and his whole body exuded an aura of lovelessness.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you, you look listless?"

Zhao Yao lay on the table and said with a dead face: "It's been squeezed dry, and there is nothing left." ”

Uncle Gao took the teacup from Tongxi's hand and brought it to Zhao Yao with both hands.

"Your Highness, have a cup of tea."

Zhao Yao sat up, took the teacup with both hands, and drank it all in one go.

"I'd rather work every day than come back and deal with these things."

Uncle Gao understood Zhao Yao's feelings very well, "Your Highness, like you, I'd rather lead troops to fight than deal with the affairs of these mothers-in-law and mothers." ”

"Uncle Gao, do you have anything to do with me?"

Uncle Gao rubbed his hands, and his expression became very flattering: "Your Highness, when the trade conference is over, can you give me ten firearms?" ”

"Ten firebolts?" Zhao Yao first glanced at Uncle Gao in surprise, and then said, "Uncle Gao, you also want to form a Divine Machine Battalion?" ”

"No, no, no, I just want to form a personal guard of the Shenji Battalion." Uncle Gao said cheekily, "Your Highness, you can fulfill my humble wish." ”

"There are only ten, and there can't be more." Zhao Yao said deliberately, "You also know that the cost of making a firearm is very high, and it takes a lot of time, and it is already a lot to give you ten." ”

"Your Highness Xie, I only need ten handfuls to be enough."

"You only have firearms, not bullets." Zhao Yao said very intimately, "I'll give you the formula for the bullet, you will make it yourself after you return to the Japanese Kingdom, and I won't give it to you, after all, the cost of making bullets is not low." ”

Uncle Gao didn't expect the bullet, but now when he heard Zhao Yao say this, he was busy grateful.

At this time, Tongxi walked in, and after the ceremony, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, it's a letter from His Royal Highness King Han." ”

"Fifth brother's letter?" Zhao Yao said in surprise, "Fifth brother wrote to me, did the sun come out in the west today?" ”

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Han wrote to you, and he definitely didn't mean it." Tongxi didn't know what he was thinking, and a look of horror appeared on his face, "Your Highness, the letter won't be poisonous, as long as you open it, you will die of poison." ”

Zhao Yao glanced at Tongxi helplessly, "You should read less scripts in the future." ”

"Your Highness, then you are busy, I will go to the general." Uncle Gao withdrew very interestingly.

Zhao Yao nodded, and immediately opened the letter sent by King Han.

After Zhao Yao finished reading, Tong Xi hurriedly asked with concern: "Your Highness, what did His Royal Highness King Han write?" ”

"He said he would send people to trade conferences, and he said he wanted to do business with me." Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with an uncertain expression, "He also said that he wanted to invest." ”

After hearing this, Tongxi said angrily: "The slave knows that His Royal Highness King Han is not kind. After speaking, he saw Zhao Yao's contemplative expression and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm wondering if the fifth brother simply wants to do business with me, or if he has other plans."

"There must be something else going on." Tongxi said angrily, "His Royal Highness King Han must have seen that you have made money, so he wants to take over all your business." ”

Zhao Yao frowned slightly and said, "Fifth brother, this person is a little unpredictable. ”

"Your Highness, what's unpredictable about this, His Royal Highness King Han is not a good person, you can't promise him."

Zhao Yao's fingers tapped lightly on the table, "No matter what his idea is, when the person he sent comes, won't he know." ”

"Huh?" Tong Xi was surprised, "Your Highness, you really plan to let His Royal Highness King Han send someone, aren't you luring the wolf into the house?" ”

"Even if the fifth brother is a wolf, when he comes to Lingnan, he can only become a dog." Zhao Yao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled very brightly, "Someone comes to the Swamp Mansion to invest and do business, how can I turn it away." ”

Tongxi was frightened by Zhao Yao's smile, he was not worried about His Highness at all at the moment, but sympathized with King Han.

Zhao Yao waved his hand and motioned for Tongxi to withdraw.

After Tongxi left, Zhao Yao called out the Dark Guard Armor and asked directly, "Do you know about the fifth brother?" ”

The Dark Guard replied respectfully, "The subordinates don't know. ”

"You send someone to investigate the fifth brother." As soon as Zhao Yao finished giving the order, he suddenly remembered that the Dark Guard was the emperor's person, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, "I'm sorry, I forgot that your duty is only to protect me, and you don't have the duty to help me investigate people." ”

"Your Highness, after the four of your subordinates came to Lingnan with you, they will be your people, and they will no longer be dragon guards."

"Ah, are you my people now?" Zhao Yao looked surprised, "Why didn't anyone tell me?" ”

Dark Guard: "Didn't the emperor tell you?" ”

"No, even the fact that you came to protect me, my father didn't say anything about it from beginning to end." As soon as Zhao Yao finished speaking, he thought of the words of the Dark Guard Party and said that they were no longer Dragon Guards, "Wait, you came to Lingnan with me, and you were kicked out of the Dragon Guards?" ”

"The four of them are no longer dragon guards."

"Why didn't you say such a big thing before?" Zhao Yao was anxious, "Otherwise, I will tell my father and let you go back to the Dragon Guard." ”

"Your Highness, are you dissatisfied with the four of your subordinates?"

"No, I've always been grateful to you, it's just that you were originally a dragon guard, but now because I've been kicked out, I'm so sorry for you." The Dragon Guards are the Emperor's personal guards. Being the emperor's personal guard is definitely better than being his secret guard.

"Your Highness, you are serious, it is an honor for the four of your subordinates to be your person." Dark Guard said respectfully, "My subordinates will send someone to investigate King Han." "It's true that they don't belong to the Dragonguards now, but they will return to the Dragonguards in the future.
