Chapter 259: Feudal Marquis
The use of firearms in Great Xia is very extensive, and the benefits of artillery have been overwhelmed for a while, but relatively speaking, the application of firearms is much more limited.
The fire guns currently used in the army are still ignited by the fire rope, which has many disadvantages.
In stormy weather, the gunpowder in the fire gate was either blown away by the wind or wet by the rain, so that it could not be fired. Sometimes it is misplaced prematurely before it is aimed well.
Based on the limited memory of his previous life, Jia Cong combined the flintlock pistol invented by Bi Maokang in the Ming Dynasty with early Western firearms, sketched the solution, and handed it over to the royal family for secret development.
The Central Plains Dynasty has never lacked talents, and the level of royal worship is at least as high as that of the Imperial Palace, and it only took a few days to understand the technology in the drawings, rubbing the gun barrel by hand, and placing the sample in front of Jia Cong in the fastest time.
If it weren't for the insufficient productivity and limited time, let alone a thousand flintlock pistols, the emperor would be eager to empty the inner treasury and arrange all the three princes' pro-army guards.
The smell of gunpowder permeated the entire school field, and not many of the ladies on the viewing platform could hold on, even the concubine Niangniang, who was still shouting to come on stage to stab the prince of Warat to death, all bit her lip tightly and turned pale.
The battle of a thousand men is already so fierce, but what about ten thousand? What about 100,000 people?
The battle in the Colonel's field was already a sign of victory and defeat in just one face, and the White Wolf Army of Warat had no way to retreat after launching a charge.
The flintlock pistol in Hu Benerlang's hand was average, but it made up for it to the greatest extent under the advantage of the gunfight array.
Twelve rounds of fire, not a single one of the 1,000 cavalry was spared, and all of them fell into the open space fifty paces away.
The wailing and screaming in the field frightened the envoys of those vassal states to tremble, and the Goryeo and other countries who had been shouting in tandem to compete with Great Xia did not dare to squeak.
From the very beginning, the Warat mission has become hysterical, and it even clamored that Daxia used the advantage of weapons to kill the Warat soldiers, and the Heavenly Empire has no mercy.
Yi Lan on the high platform looked at the blood-soaked white wolf flag in the school yard with a gloomy face, and did not speak.
The people on the viewing platform had different thoughts, and the deputy envoy of Warat was complaining to the officials of Bactria about the cruelty of the Tiger Ben army: "Our country is here to repair the peace between the two countries, and even the competition cannot be wiped out...... Now that nearly a thousand warriors have died here, if we do not give an explanation to our country, my king will raise an army of millions and go south to knock on the passes, and then there will be thousands of miles of smoke, ten rooms and nine empty ......
The cries of the Waratites reached the ears of the people, and there were those who disdained it, those who were worried, and those who gloated.
Daiyu, who was sitting next to Concubine Liang, turned her gaze to the high platform, Jia Cong was dressed in silver armor, holding the handle of the Yanling knife with her left hand, and stood solemnly on the right side of the emperor.
"Sister Lin, are you okay?"
Daiyu withdrew her gaze and looked at Yingchun, whose eyes were full of worry.
Yingchun held Daiyu's cold hand, both of them had bad faces, but they held each other's hands and wanted to give each other the courage to support each other.
The Warat mission became more and more excited, and the clamor became more and more intense. Daiyu suddenly straightened her chest and laughed, "It's really ridiculous? A thousand watts of elite were annihilated by our soldiers in just one face, and they dared to shout for a million troops to go south and knock on the pass? Yelang is arrogant, and he really doesn't know how thick the sky is."
Daiyu first bowed to the general Tai Yingying, and then shouted at the tiger army under the stage: "Great Xia is mighty, for the tiger Benhe, for the Great Xia soldiers, for the heavenly court!"
Yingchun was infected by Daiyu's perseverance, learned Daiyu to straighten her chest, and smiled: "Sister Lin is right, my dynasty is strong in martial arts, as the daughter of Jiangmen, how can I not be the power of the country."
Yingchun followed the applause, and the ladies on the viewing platform had many examples.
Concubine Mo Shi showed an appreciative look on her face after a short period of surprise, and was about to praise one or two, but she heard a girl on the left say unhappily: "It's light...... Fight in the south of the city, die in the north of Guo, and die in the wild without burial. For me: and for the guest! The water is deep and agitated, and the reeds are dark; The horsemen died in battle, and the horses wandered and roared. Warat is here to seek peace, and the bravery of our soldiers is true, but now that so many Warat soldiers have died, if we do not give an explanation to the Warat people, then the smoke will be everywhere, and the stability that the dynasty has won so hard will be replaced by war."
This person first felt compassionate, then looked at Yingchun and Daiyu and sneered: "As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the war is empty and the food is wasted, not to mention, today you kill me, tomorrow I will kill you, when is it a head? Your military generals are naturally looking forward to fighting a war, and when the time comes, you will be promoted and rich, but have you ever thought about those innocent soldiers and the people who died in the smoke?"
Daiyu and Yingchun haven't responded yet, and Tu Siqi, who is sitting on the top of the two, is the first to explode.
She was about to pull out the whip and throw it over, but she found that she was dressed up for the ceremony today, so she didn't carry it.
So he could only say murderously: "The people of the Fan family are really *** dogs, since Miss Fan is distressed, why don't I ask the emperor's uncle to give you a title, so how about you and your relatives contribute to the good of Qin and Jin?"
"You ......"
This Fan Da girl was suddenly frightened and blushed: "Even if it is a relative, it should be the Lord Tu County, as a relative of the emperor and the country, supported by the imperial court, shouldn't he make a dedication to the king's worries?"
"According to this, isn't your father Fan Shilang also holding the bowl of the court, and he should also share the worries of the emperor's uncle?"
Tu Siqi sneered, got up and was about to walk in the direction of Baijiangtai: "Miss Fan, don't worry, for the sake of you being so for the country and the people, the lord of this county will definitely persuade the emperor's uncle to canonize you as a princess and be a pro-wara!"
Poof......
Originally, because the tragic and solemn atmosphere in the school field was broken by the sudden change, many of the ladies of the military general's family couldn't help laughing.
Concubine Mo spoke up to stop Tu Siqi's nonsense: "Don't make trouble, the victory and defeat have been divided, and the grand parade ceremony is coming to an end."
The White Wolf Army of Warat was almost completely wiped out, and the only dozens of remaining wounded were carried down, and the level of the forbidden army washing the floor was still so skillful, in less than two quarters of an hour, in addition to the blood and water left in the school field that was not easy to clean, only the high-spirited and mighty Tiger Ben warriors remained.
"Your Majesty has a will......
Syllable!
The neat right hand of the thousand tiger warriors in the audience was horizontal in front of the breastplate, and Xia Shouzhong shook off the dust, and shouted: "Tiger Ben Erlang is brave and martial, I am very relieved, and I give the Tiger Ben Army the White Tiger Banner to show the tiger Ben's might." The military department will be rewarded according to the system, and will be promoted to the first rank, and the sergeant will be promoted to the first class, so as to reward the military merit."
"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"
Hu Ben shouted long live, and the rest of the 14th battalion of Daxia soldiers on the periphery of the school field also shouted.
But when he saw that the emperor raised his hand, the king's order was silent, and all the armies stopped in unison.
Xia Shouzhong took down a scroll of the Seven-Colored Dragon Pattern Jade Scroll Divine Decree from the tray in the hand of the attendant behind him, and opened it instead.
"Ron Boja pardons ......"
Well?
Jia Yu walked to the front of the stage, and because of Jia, he half-knelt and clenched his fists: "Minister, Jia Yu, listen to the holy oracle!"
"I said: I have heard that Wen Anbang and Wu Dingguo are the first important soldiers to be brave, and the second is the advantage of armaments. Qing dedicated the method of the military formation to manipulate the new army, and the divine soldiers with the might of a strong army, the merit is great, how can I not reward it? He was the Marquis of Fengtian Yiyun and the Marquis of Rongguo, and he was specially given the first three generations of the Emperor......
Master Pardon had already speculated that if Hu Ben could intimidate the Quartet today, the emperor would definitely reward himself and his son with the method of military formation and the method of making firearms, but he did not expect that the emperor would add his son's reward to himself.
And also gave such an amazing reward!
O Marquis, when he was the old man who was crowned uncle, he already felt that this life had stopped here, but he didn't want happiness to come so suddenly.
Not only Jia Yu was stunned, but Jia Cong, who was standing next to the Emperor, was also a little confused, not to mention the civil and military officials on both sides and the female dependents on the viewing platform.
The battle between Warat and Great Xia was temporarily proposed by Yi Lan, and the holy decree that could be sealed was obviously prepared in advance.
Only then did the ministers realize that the postponement of this year's hunting and the coming of the vassal states of the feudal towns were actually planned by the emperor and even the second sage.
The review of the Tiger Ben Army when it became an army was obviously left behind, and today is the real moment for the Tiger Ben to show its might, the first war shocked the Quartet, and the emperor was so calculating!
The lord of pardon didn't know how he received his will, and the eldest prince of Warat left with his people with a gloomy face
After the big school field, the rest of the countries also returned to their camps in fear.
The Great Xia Army is mighty, and now that there is such a divine soldier, the plan that was planned when it came must be changed.
This morning's parade is over, but the plan set by the Ministry of Rites for the hunting of the Iron Net Mountain has just begun.
There will be an emperor's banquet at noon, and the smell of blood here has not yet dissipated, so naturally it will not be placed here.
The holy driver returned to the camp, and the crowd followed.
Jia Cong took leave with the old man and hurried back to Jia's camp.
The old man was stunned with the holy decree of the edict, and Yingchun, Daiyu and Qin Keqing were by his side.
The expressions of the four of them were all about the same, this edict was really amazing, and it extended the glory of the Jia family for more than a hundred years at once.
What does the family of three generations of princes represent?
Jia Lian, the son of Jia Lian, and the grandson of Jia Lian......
As long as they don't do things that anger the heavens and people, the Jia family will stand at the forefront of the top noble families in Great Xia within a hundred years.
"Brother Cong, Dad didn't want to be greedy for your merits, Your Majesty said that this is to protect you."
"My son knows!"
Jia Cong smiled and bowed: "Son, congratulations to my father for being crowned the marquis of the country......
"Congratulations to my father (uncle, uncle) for being crowned a prince!"
The three women bowed down together, and the laughter in the camp tent spread to the big tent near the left with the wind, making the eyes of many people turn purple with envy.
Before and after the luncheon, there was an endless stream of people who came to Jia's camp tent to congratulate him, and Jia Rong listened to the order in front of the palace, and Jia Cong was the only one left in the tent, almost smiling stiffly.
Fortunately, Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian came to help, and finally got through a difficult hour. The newly promoted Mrs. Hou Xing took Yingchun, Daiyu and Qin Keqing to entertain the ladies who came to congratulate, although they were in a hurry, nothing went wrong.
is that many people began to inquire about the relatives of Yingchun, and there were many references to marriage. Mrs. Xing knew that she couldn't be the master of the Spring Festival, and after finally sending the guests away, she carefully informed the Lord of the Indulgence about the matter.
"Don't say you can't be the master, only the third son can be the master of the second girl's family......
Mrs. Xing said that there are a few families that are obviously interested today, but there are also a few people who can be eye-catching.
But Master Yu smiled bitterly and said, "San'er has been close to the second girl since she was a child, and if her family affairs can't satisfy San'er, I dare to conclude that he can make a big fuss. Don't mention this matter yet, wait for me to ask San'er what he means. The second girl has also reached the age of looking at each other, and it is not a matter of dragging it down......
Knock knock knock......
The war drums outside the camp sounded from time to time, and after the big parade was over, the hunt began.
From today onwards, for three consecutive days of hunting Dabi, the sons and nephews of Fanjing Chinese Wu, can participate in the hunt. After three days, according to the ranking of each person's prey, ten winners will be determined, and both saints will be rewarded.
Of course, this time it was not only the hunting competition, but also the fifteenth battalion soldiers' competition, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, pot throwing and polo games of the female dependents.
After Jia Cong had lunch, he went to the imperial front to listen to the order, and the three of them were pulled to Concubine Liang by Tu Siqi, and it was said that they were going to sign up for the competition.
Especially in the poetry contest signed up by Miss Fan, who was arguing with her today, Tu Siqi grinded hard and finally wrote Daiyu's name on the competition list.
Jia Cong sat in the imperial tent of the Emperor Taishang a little absent-mindedly, Liu Hong rubbed the little fat man's brain, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Is it because your father didn't give you a reward?"
"Huh?"
Jia Cong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course not, I know that Your Majesty is here to protect me. Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and my milky boy has made such a magical weapon, if the news spreads, he may be caught in a sack when he goes out one day."
"And what are you thinking? I shouted at you a few times and you didn't respond."
The old man was also interested, and asked, "You kid was absent-minded as soon as he came in, did he encounter something?"
Jia Cong looked outside the emperor's tent, and the emperor's lord's tent was covered with vassals.
"Sage, I'm from the Ministry of Rites
It is said that this time the lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom also came, and he had quietly avoided those Japanese people earlier, crying and asking the imperial court to send troops to eliminate the thieves."
The Emperor nodded and his face became solemn.
He was a little angry, and snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the weakness of the water master, how could I have allowed a clown like the Wai Kingdom to survive to this day?"
Jia Cong also nodded and sighed, Great Xia is extremely well armed, but it is in the army of land warfare, and the water division has not yet been trained to a sufficient scale, resulting in the Japanese State secretly invading the subject country of Great Xia but unable to pacify the thieves.
"Goryeo also jumped hard, the secret agent of the Dragon Guard sent a secret protection, Goryeo and the Liaodong Jurchen secretly colluded, and there was a great intention to invade Liaodong."
The Emperor Taishang told Jia Cong another piece of news, which made Jia Cong indignant.
I saw that the old man suddenly laughed after being angry, looked at Jia Cong and said in appreciation: "You kid gave me a long face today, and the whole army was wiped out in less than two quarters of an hour, and the majesty of our army shocked all countries. Those Koreans were so frightened that they couldn't stand up, and in a short time they would behave and not dare to jump anymore."
