Chapter 147: Epilogue
"Military?"
Qin Chuan: "Yes, now, there are more than a dozen vassal states around Great Xia, and at least eight of them are eyeing us, and the war on the border has never been broken. I thought of a weapon, the drawings had just been drawn, and it was in the palace. ”
Wang Wenzhi wondered: "Drawings? Weapons? Your Majesty, how can you have this ability? ”
From before and after Qin Chuan's accession to the throne, until now, he has always surprised people, and Wang Wenzhi has always been surprised.
When Qin Chuan was the crown prince, so many people said that he was a waste, and no one looked down on him.
Now it seems that this true dragon prince is really hidden.
"Your Majesty, what kind of weapon is it?"
"Repeater."
"Repeater? What's that? ”
"Burst crossbow arrows are more advanced than bows and arrows, and they can quickly fire several arrows at a time, and even iron helmets can shoot through."
Such a weapon is unheard of.
Qin Chuan smiled and poured him wine: "Come, come out to play, you can't just chat, you still have to drink something." ”
"How dare you! Your Majesty, just come by yourself. ”
……
In the morning, Qin Chuan returned to the palace, and Zhao You had already woken up, but he had no appetite to eat.
The palace maid knelt down: "Long live." ”
Qin Chuan: "You guys go out first, I'll feed her." ”
There were no outsiders, Qin Chuan sighed and sat on the edge of the bed: "Zhao You, I know that you are a spy sent by your brother, but don't think that I don't know, I am opening one eye and closing one eye." The military strength of your Southern Zhou is very strong, and it is unmatchable. But I want to tell you that in the next few months, I will take the Southern Zhou with great force. ”
Zhao You stared at him: "You want to defeat our Southern Zhou?" Hmph, ridiculous. ”
It is very ridiculous, because the current army of Great Xia can only be described as a plate of loose sand, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty has secretly accumulated strength for decades, not only using Zhou Dewei to get a large amount of gold and silver from Great Xia, but also attaching importance to trade and plundering resources from various vassal states, and the overall economic power of the country is in a state of overflow.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops, but the combat effectiveness has exceeded a million troops.
Although the Southern Zhou Dynasty was strong, the population base was not much, not to mention that the territory of Great Xia was vast, and if you want to eat it in one bite, you have to spend several years, go deep into Great Xia, work hard and lose money, even if you defeat Great Xia, it is impossible to completely occupy it.
It is a fool's dream to occupy a country with a population of only a few tens of millions of people.
Therefore, Southern Zhou has been on the defensive, occasionally plundering Great Xia.
Qin Chuan: "Now that I am telling you this, of course you don't believe it. Then you will live well, eat well, sleep well, and wait to see how I grow this country. Let's eat. ”
"I don't eat, you want me to live, and then ...... Then take advantage of me. ”
"Hehehe! You underestimate me, there are so many harem women, I don't like to force others, even if it's a palace maid, it's more obedient than you, right? I'm not so that any woman wants it. ”
After speaking, Qin Chuan threw the rice bowl into her hand, walked to the door, turned around and said: "Remember, you are now my woman, you can't go back to Southern Zhou, I want you to see with your own eyes how I gallop the world." ”
……
In the months that followed, all of Qinchuan's reforms were implemented.
In just three months, the state trained more than 20 special troops, who were engaged in a series of duties such as defense, attack, and intelligence espionage.
Half a year later, Qin Chuan launched an attack on the Southern Zhou and in only five days, he ate the 430,000 troops of the Southern Zhou.
This battle is too fast, and it can be called the strongest blitzkrieg since the founding of Great Xia.
This battle also made the other vassal states afraid, who would dare to underestimate the military lineup of Great Xia.
As a result, the various vassal states sent congratulatory notes and offered to make peace.
But what he didn't expect was that just after the news of the victory reached the harem, Zhao You hanged himself.
At that time, Yang Qianxue was the first to witness the situation.
Bai Ying: "Qianxue, what should I do?" Do you want to tell the emperor? ”
"She is a martyr, she can sing and cry, she can only blame his emperor brother for being too ambitious, and he has been thinking about dealing with our Great Xia. Let's put the corpse first, and then make a decision when the queen comes, the emperor is feasting the ministers, don't disturb everyone's interest. ”
……
On the Zhengde Palace, Qin Chuan held a wine glass, and the ministers accompanied the banquet.
In the first battle of the southern country, the whole country celebrated, the emperor of the southern country, Zhao Zheng, jumped from the city tower, and the rest of the people surrendered one after another.
For more than 150 years, Great Xia has never launched a war against the vassal states, everything is based on peace, the officials are lazy and slack, and the soldiers are stagnant, but because of this, they are secretly bullied by those vassal states.
Well, now that no one dares to underestimate Great Xia, they have ushered in a king comparable to Emperor Taizu.
No! It is beyond Emperor Taizu, and this military and financial resources are unprecedented.
Liu Zhongping raised his wine glass: "Congratulations to my Majesty Emperor Qianyuan of the Great Xia Kingdom!" There is no end to it! ”
The ministers stood up and raised their glasses: "The emperor has no future!" ”
"The emperor has no time!"
Qin Chuan was carrying a wine bottle, a wine bottle that only the emperor could use.
He just held it up: "This glass of wine!" I don't drink it! Be my mortal enemy! Zhou Dewei! Zhao Zheng! Sacrifice to the soldiers who shed blood for the great cause of my Great Xia! ”
The wine spilled on the floor.
The ministers followed suit.
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”
Qin Chuan: "Rank and file, I have come this way, and what I have seen and heard is all shocking!" What is the lifeblood of the nation? It's the people, not those of us who sit in the court and drink! The orders I issue must be obeyed, and if there are those who oppress the people, I will not spare them! ”
……
In the middle of the night, Qin Chuan was drunk and returned to the dormitory, only to know that Zhao You was dead.
The people led by the empress are all mourning her here, waiting for the emperor to come.
"Your Majesty......"
Qin Chuan walked to Zhao You's side, the person was already cold, and the immortals had no way to return to the sky.
"Your Majesty, how should I be buried?"
Qin Chuan: "Alas...... Send her back to Nanguo, it should be called Nanzhou now. She thought about her country, and she didn't think for a moment that she wanted to obey me. I didn't embarrass her, sent her to Nanzhou, and buried her thickly, with the gift of the imperial concubine, and buried her thickly. ”
Walking out of the dormitory, Qin Chuan walked alone on this uninhabited palace road, the Sword of Heaven in his hand was silent.
Those people and things that he had experienced were vaguely haunting in front of him.
Turning his head and looking at the majestic hall, Qin Chuan understood that his path had just begun.
