Chapter 167: The Battle of Nanjing Begins
The covenant of the three kingdoms has been signed for many years, and the reason why this covenant was signed is not only due to many factors, but also because of the existence of the great grandmaster.
Otherwise, with Nanqing's military strength, without the obstruction and deterrence of the great grandmaster, it is not empty talk to unify the world and sweep the four fields.
Now, the Qing army has brazenly entered the Northern Qi Dynasty, which is nothing more than a change in the things that Qing Guo most scruples about.
Uesugi Tiger's expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he was silent.
"Nanqing has produced a twenty-year-old great grandmaster, who has a very good relationship with the crown prince, and it is said that he is still an apprentice of Sigu Sword." Bitter Lotus said quietly: "I heard that the eldest prince of Nanqing was going to kill this great grandmaster, and invited Ye Liuyun and the Hong grandfather in Nanqing Palace, and afterwards, the young great grandmaster recuperated for seven days and reappeared in front of the world.
And my people in Northern Qi are almost dead, only my disciple Wolf Tao Gou is alive in the world, imprisoned in the East Palace, the main force of the ambush and killing, Ye Liuyun entered the East Palace and became the guest of the Prince of Nanqing, it is said that attacking my Northern Qi is the meaning of this Prince of Nanqing."
As he spoke, he sighed with emotion: "With such a crown prince, I am afraid that the position of Emperor Nanqing will not be stable, but right now, my Northern Qi is the first to bear the brunt."
Uesugi Tiger's face changed again and again, and he suddenly exclaimed, "You mean that the Qing Dynasty sent the Grand Master to make a move? Moreover, the apprentice of Si Gu Jian is doing things for the prince, could it be that this is a sign of the union of Dongyi and Nanqing?"
Kuhe seemed to be a little tired, sat down on the stool next to him, and said, "No, Sigu Sword will definitely not join forces with Qingguo."
He didn't say why, but he was convinced of it.
"Qingguo should send a great grandmaster here, but he may not make a move on the battlefield, it should just be to guard against me."
He glanced at Uesugi Tiger and said, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Great Grandmaster, all you have to do is to defend Nanjing City."
Uesugi Tiger responded, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I will never let Nanjing City fall!"
Kuhe nodded lightly, but did not make a sound, his eyes were sometimes contemplative, sometimes thoughtful, and finally fell into an ancient well without waves.
Obviously, he already had some calculations in his heart.
In Kyoto, Li Chengqian went to the Zhaoxian Hall, briefly appeased the talents he had recruited, and then went to the pavilion on the third floor.
In the pavilion, the sun occultation and Xuanjian have been waiting for a long time.
As the leader of the net, he has been staying in Kyoto, and Xuan Jian accompanied Guan Zhong to run around, and he was rarely called back directly.
Along with him, there is also Gaolis, who has been running around in the postal service for nearly two years.
Seeing Li Chengqian, Gao Lishi looked at the tears that were about to come out.
"Your Highness, the minion has been thinking about you for so long, and finally saw you."
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, hiding his face and weeping.
Although Gao Lishi is a eunuch, he is tall, and this appearance is really a bit of a macho man's sense of déjà vu.
Li Chengqian's heart tightened slightly, coughed lowly, and said, "Okay, I'm still crying when I'm old, don't get up quickly."
"Yes, Your Highness." Gao Lishi saw that Li Chengqian was a little displeased, and even though he restrained such a posture, his expression became solemn.
On the side, Xuan Jian was still wearing a dark blue silk robe, leggings, blue forehead and black hair tied with a red belt at will, looking chic and wanton, he quipped: "It seems that Gonggong Gao wants His Highness to think too much." As he spoke, he patted his chest and said with a serious attitude: "Your Highness, in fact, your subordinates also miss you, and you follow Guan Zhong in the money pile all day long, but it's too boring, I have to embroider my knife!"
Covering the sun said coldly: "Presumptuous, whatever the master wants you to do, do it in peace, where is there so much nonsense!"
Xuan Jian pursed his lips, he was not too afraid, but he did not continue to open his mouth to stimulate the sun, otherwise he was afraid that the sun would really do something to him.
In terms of strength, he is still a lot worse.
Especially when he heard that he had recently listened to the music played by his master, and his cultivation was a great advancement, and he was only one step away from the so-called great master, he thought
At this, he couldn't help but ask out loud, "Your Highness, I heard that your song can make people improve their cultivation?"
Sensing that the gaze of the sun was beginning to turn cold, he didn't dare to say the next words.
Li Chengqian glanced at Xuan Jian with a smile, and among the nets, he was the most out of his temperament.
But it doesn't matter, ordinary subordinates may have to maintain the majesty of the Lord, the momentum and the like.
For those who are 100% loyal to him from body to soul, there is nothing to worry about when they speak and act.
He smiled and said, "That's right, but I didn't bring the piano with me, and you will leave soon, next time, next time you come to Kyoto, I will play a piece for you to catch the wind!"
He immediately knelt down and said, "My subordinates don't dare!"
Gao Lishi also knelt quickly: "The slave doesn't dare!"
Xuan Jian sweated slightly on his forehead, and knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak.
The status of musicians in this era is not high, let the prince, or their lord, give them a piece of music, where can they afford?
"It's just a tune, how can it be so exaggerated?" Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to kneel easily, okay, get up!"
His tone was a little harsh, and the three of them hurriedly got up.
"Sit down." Li Chengqian found a chair and sat down, and said, "I have a very important matter for you this time, there must be no mistake, if things go well, when you return, don't say one, what about ten?"
"My subordinates will do their best!"
"Slaves will never give up!"
As soon as his words fell, several people responded one after another, even Xuan Qian, who had never been very serious, looked solemn.
Li Chengqian didn't say much, and even took out the gray cloth bag that he had been heavily diagnosed.
"This is filled with enough rice seeds to be planted in a state, and the yield is very high, I want you to go to Jianzhou, which is close to Nanzhao, to find a place to sow seeds, and Gao Lishi is mainly responsible for this matter, and you will use all the power of the net, and you must go all out to complete all the planting processes, I will say hello to Guan Zhong and ask him to provide money.
In addition, make a good record of the planting process, summarize a set of most suitable planting methods, and most importantly, this bag must not be lost, understand?"
The three of them looked at the palm-sized gray cloth bag in Li Chengqian's hand, and said in their hearts, how many seeds can be held at such a small size? It is also necessary to go to Jianzhou, which is vast and sparsely populated, to plant, saying that it is enough for a state to plant.
If ordinary people said it, they would not believe it, but this was said by Li Chengqian himself, and they believed it even if they didn't believe it.
Moreover, this kind of sub-bag is so important that it directly sent the two strongest people in the net over, which is obviously not as simple as it seems on the surface.
In fact, if it weren't for Li Chengqian's still a little distrust of Ye Liuyun, it would be most appropriate to leave this matter to the Great Grandmaster.
Hearing what Li Chengqian said, the three of them said in unison, "Understood!"
After a few more instructions, Li Chengqian immediately ordered the three of them to leave.
He had already decided to train a new army, and the first thing to bear the brunt of was food.
As long as the three of them lay the foundation in Jianzhou, the grain produced in this state will be enough to supply the baggage of hundreds of thousands of troops.
Since he didn't want to go back and forth with all forces after taking the throne, he naturally wanted to use the power of thunder to directly clean up everything.
In addition, since the beginning of the net, he instructed Wang Quan, the lord of the Ministry, to start research on firearms.
In fact, in addition to researching the hidden weapons of the institutions, the three departments of the Supervision Institute also studied gunpowder, but Ye Qingmei deliberately deviated from the direction of the research.
And although he doesn't know much about gunpowder, he understands the direction of gunpowder development very well, as long as he points out the direction, with the strength of the Wei Department, he will naturally be able to make achievements.
Not long ago, he received news from Wang Quan that he had preliminarily developed a flintlock pistol, and was still rectifying and adjusting it, trying to mass produce it.
It is predictable that hundreds of thousands of troops armed with flintlock pistols are enough to make the whole world tremble.
Therefore, Li Chengqian is concerned about such a thing
There is no rush at all, because once he takes the position, it will be the time when the world is turned upside down!
After a few days in a hurry, under the city of Nanjing, the Qingguo army was overwhelmed, and the momentum was amazing.
Above the city wall, Uesugi Tiger looked at Qin Ye in the distance with an expressionless face, and an invisible killing intent and battle intent surged wildly.
Qin Ye's face was slightly regretful, Uesugi Tiger was actually fine?
This will undoubtedly make it much more difficult for him to attack Nanjing.
But at this point, he has full confidence in the army under his command, and he is bound to win Nanjing City!
With his order, the siege battle began from then on!
The sound of trumpets, drums, and the sound of the army's rushing and killing resounded in an instant.
