Chapter 223: Peace in the Blink of an Eye
"Oh, you also have a strategy for governing the country?" Liu Xinyu became interested, she was really happy today, because she felt that since she was 'regent', everything seemed to be so smooth.
Xingchang County has won big victories one after another, and today there are even more talents from the distant Kunlun Continent; and now when he heard that Zhang Hao wanted to recommend himself, Liu Xinyu suddenly changed his posture.
She leaned over slightly, leaned back in her chair, and went to three parts of her strength, but added an indescribable bewitching and lazy point.
Then Liu Xinyu said slowly, with a little laziness, softly: "Let's talk about it." ”
Zhang Hao was also not polite: "The policy of governing the country that I want to offer is only afraid that it is completely different from the traditional understanding, but it has been practiced."
This statecraft is what I call it: a strong country in industry and commerce.
Industry and commerce, is the abbreviation of industry and commerce.
Industry, Your Highness has actually seen it. What the Zhang family is developing now, as well as what the Refining Guild and the Xuantie Guild are doing, is industry. It is a new mode of production, and its production efficiency is more than ten times or dozens of times that of the traditional handicraft industry. It can also make some products that the handicraft industry can't do.
The representative product of the former industry is artillery.
And then there's business, and what I mean by business is a very different concept from the business of the past. In the past, business was to buy low and sell high, hoard goods, and do whatever it takes to make profits, which seriously harmed the interests of the state.
The business I propose is rooted in industry, it is an extension of industry, and it is a new type of business.
Taking artillery as an example, whether it is to research artillery or produce artillery, it requires a lot of money, and only by selling the artillery can the Zhang family obtain the return of funds, and can continue to produce more artillery and research more powerful artillery.
In the process of producing artillery in Zhangjia, we need to purchase Xuantie from Dayang Group, and then sell the processed artillery to Dayang Group.
The Ocean Group used artillery to achieve victory on the battlefield and obtained its own benefits from the battlefield to supplement the losses of the purchase of artillery.
In this way, a perfect cycle is completed. Industry and commerce are inseparable. ”
The idea of industry and commerce is relatively new. Although Zhang Hao said it very bluntly, Liu Xinyu and everyone still fell into deep thought.
After a while, Liu Xinyu nodded thoughtfully: "Sounds very good, but what does this have to do with the country?"
"Your Highness, a Zhang family and a Dayang Group are already like this. What if there are ten Zhang families, a hundred Zhang families, and a hundred Dayang groups?
Even if each group can only produce one weapon, it is a hundred weapons that can change their fate!
Moreover, unlike the Jiuyang Sect, once each group is formed, it will form an intricate relationship with the local area. It's not easy to want treason or something. And the state can use commerce to counter the group.
Commerce is the lifeblood of industry. As long as the state controls commerce, it can pinch the neck of industry.
And the country can also develop industry, and even have more advantages. ”
Liu Xinyu was really moved this time. Her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was imagining the future, but she was a little skeptical, the Zhang family was really willing to put a collar on herself?
After a while, Liu Xinyu suddenly smiled: "Today I heard four completely different, but they all seem to be very good ways to govern the country. Let me go back and think about it. When people come, arrange accommodation for Xu Jie, Yan Qing, and Zheng You first, and temporarily live in the upper house. ”
Xu Jie thanked the three of them, and then said goodbye to Zhang Hao before leaving.
Waiting for Xu Jie and the three of them to leave, Liu Xinyu looked at Zhang Hao with a smile: "This king is very curious, why did such three excellent people come to Zhang's house?"
Zhang Hao sighed: "Your Highness, let me tell you a story." ”
Stories are the most vivid, and they are more touching than boring narratives. Liu Xinyu seemed to see a pair of brothers and sisters fleeing to the country of Qixia in embarrassment under the pursuit of countless murderous killers, and the elder brother suffered the trauma of death in order to protect his sister.
Then the elder brother reluctantly left his sister, wanting to leave silently by himself, waiting for death to come, but he did not give up his survival, and finally got an unknown adventure by chance, and luckily broke through the infant period and was able to extend his life for 18 years. But in the end, he still did not escape death.
But in the past eighteen years, the elder brother has not forgotten his country, he accepted the disciple and asked the disciple to return to the west of the Fertile Land Continent with his will and body. And because the country of Shaoze was in chaos, he had to come to the country of Qixia.
After listening to Zhang Hao's story, Liu Xinyu was a little lucky: I am very lucky, I have met such talents. Is this what it's called 'God Help Me'?
Although she is not sure about the abilities of Xu Jie and the others, as long as they bring these thoughts, it is enough, and Liu Xinyu is confident that she can take advantage of the strengths of all the families and strengthen the country of Qixia.
There are also the ideas of industry and commerce provided by Zhang Hao, which are also very novel, and the current development of the Zhang family and the victory of Xingchang County have made Liu Xinyu have a faint yearning for industry and commerce.
And at this time, what came to Liu Xinyu's mind was the Zhangjia harbor, the small ironclad ship, and the big steel ship under construction.
After a while, Liu Xinyu nodded slowly: "These things will be put aside for the time being, and we will now talk about the exchange of prisoners, as well as peace talks." ”
After Zhang Hao returned to Zhang's house, he immediately ordered: go all out to produce artillery shells, artillery, and at the same time produce a crude benzene bomb. The explosives used in the bomb do not need to be purified, the more the merrier.
............
It's ten days in the blink of an eye. Ten days later, an unprecedented negotiation was held between Guangling County and Jianwu County in the Land of Qixia.
To be exact, the negotiations have been going on for ten days, and the most important purpose today is the exchange of prisoners. By the way, it is also necessary for the two sides to finalize the 'armistice agreement'.
Because the two sides wanted to exchange more than 200,000 captives, they needed a vast field, so everyone chose a place called "Tangjia Town". It's an ordinary town - and it won't be ordinary anymore.
Tangjia Town is a very interesting place, located in a relatively wide flat land, but on a flat land, there are just two small hills, the hills are not high, twenty or thirty meters away, but they are about a kilometer apart. With the ability of a cultivator, standing on the top of the mountain, you can easily talk in the air.
Liu Xinyu personally appeared, standing on a hill to the west; beside Liu Xinyu, there were also Zhang Hao, Guan Zhengqing, Ouyang Si, Wu Fanghai, and Zhao Donghe of the Land of Canglan.
On the opposite hill, there stood Zhao Huaiyun, the crown prince of the country of Jinyang, and next to him were the prince and young master Wei Zirong, the prime minister Pang Chong, and the hussar general Sima Zhen.
At the foot of the mountain, each side dispatched 100,000 legions, all of which were elite armed to the teeth, and the country of Qixia even laid out a full 25 artillery pieces in the open. And the country of Jinyang also placed hundreds of war weapons - a kind of flying platform floating in the air, with a hideous giant crossbow on it.
Under the suppression of the armies of both sides, each held more than 100,000 prisoners.
Sima Zhen immediately focused his attention on the artillery, for a one-yuan infant master, at such a close distance, a lot of detailed information could be seen. The country of Jinyang is trying to build artillery, and seeing the Zhang family's artillery with his own eyes is very important to Sima Zhen.
And Sima Zhen keenly found that there were several artillery pieces in it, which seemed to be 'very fat'!
But soon, Sima Zhen's gaze shifted, and he glanced at it for a long time, and finally focused on Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao waved his hand to Sima Zhen with a smile, very familiar. As a producer of artillery and as the president of Dayang Group, Zhang Hao is qualified to attend this 'meeting'.
Seeing Zhang Hao waving his hand, Sima Zhen was a little stunned - I was staring at you just now, what do you mean by waving your hand?
Liu Xinyu looked at the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang, and a hint of mockery and sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Now that everyone is here, let's start exchanging prisoners. ”
Zhao Huaiyun, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang, was very calm, even personable. He said from afar: "Seeing Her Royal Highness the Princess again, you are still so beautiful and fascinating." ”
"Hmph!" Liu Xinyu snorted coldly.
But the next moment, Zhao Huaiyun sighed: "What a child, such a peerless beauty, she can kill her brother with her own hands! It is really the saddest in the world! Princess, princess, you were ...... at that time Can you really get your hands down?"
Liu Xinyu's face turned cold in an instant, and there were countless guesses in her heart in an instant: Did Zhao Huaiyun get the information?
If you say speculation, it makes sense. Because of the saying that 'going mad', smart people don't believe it. As long as you play politics, you can probably guess it.
But what if it's a leak? The consequences are serious - there aren't many people on the scene, and they can all be completely trusted in theory!
Liu Xinyu gritted her teeth and decided to test it: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he laughed. ”
"Whether it's a joke or not, everyone knows it!" Zhao Huaiyun laughed and continued, "But today is not a quarrel, we are here to ......"
"Ah......" There was a sudden scream next to him, and a master next to Zhao Huaiyun rolled on the ground with his heart covered.
Zhao Huaiyun's face instantly darkened.
On the other side, Zhang Hao was holding a gloomy wooden puppet and playing with it!
After the last test, Zhang Hao threw the population into the corner of the storage ring. Obviously, during the time that Zhang Hao was not using it, the luck in the heart of a certain master broke out. But today, Zhang Hao suddenly took out this puppet on a whim.
As a result, the results are remarkable.
Zhang Hao didn't expect that a certain unlucky master would be on the scene.
In this serious scene where the two sides began to negotiate and clash, a master beside the prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang suddenly clutched his chest and collapsed, screaming and rolling.
The scene, not too exciting.
The initiative held by the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang collapsed in an instant.
Liu Xinyu's spiritual sense saw Zhang Hao's movements, and a smile appeared on his gloomy face: "His Royal Highness the Prince, your people seem to have gone mad!"
Zhang Hao put away the puppet after a few clicks, and waved his hand to Sima Zhen again, with a friendly smile on his face.
Sima Zhen, Zhao Huaiyun, etc., their faces were pale.
Liu Xinyu regained the initiative to look, and her lips opened lightly: "Okay, we are not here to quarrel today, but to negotiate and exchange prisoners." So, let's exchange the prisoners first. ”
Zhao Huaiyun's face turned pale: "Her Royal Highness the princess is mistaken, how can you exchange prisoners without signing an armistice agreement first!"
"It's so careful. Liu Xinyu gave full play to the advantages of women, and muttered a little 'impatient' and said: "Okay, okay, sign a peace agreement first." ”
As he spoke, Liu Xinyu signed the agreement, stamped his seal, and asked Prime Minister Ouyang Si to send it to the other side.
After the prince of Jinyang Kingdom read the agreement, he asked Sima Zhen to read it again, and made sure that there was no problem, so he also signed and sealed. Then the agreement was made in duplicate, the country of Jinyang left one copy, and Ouyang Si brought one back.
After Liu Xinyu confirmed the agreement, he waved his hand lightly: "Let's start exchanging prisoners." ”
Yu Tiegan, the secretary of the military department, and Guan Zhengqing, the secretary of the military department, who had been preparing for a long time, shouted together: "Start exchanging prisoners." A hundred people per wave. ”
A total of more than 50 'handover points' have been set up between the armies of the two countries. At every junction point, at each side, a hundred prisoners were handed over at a time.
But from the very beginning of the handover of the prisoners, it did not go well!
The captives captured in the country of Qixia, although they were hungry and weak, did not suffer any flesh and skin. But the captives on this side of the country of Jinyang were all covered in bruises.
The junction point was quarreled in an instant.
"Quiet!" Yu Tiegan roared angrily and came to a junction point, "It's all quiet, come, take out a prisoner on the side." ”
The country of Qixia sent a captive here, with no scars on his body, and his clothes were even relatively clean.
The country of Jinyang also launched a captive, not to mention the injuries all over his body, and the people were also very weak and in tattered clothes.
Yu Tiegan came to the captive with a look of regret: "Soldier, what's your name?"
"Weiyi Mountain. The soldier said weakly.
Yu Tiegan nodded: "So, how did they beat you." Speak up, we have 100,000 brothers to support you today!"
Wei Yishan hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "It has been 40 days since I was arrested, and every day they only give me one meal, glutinous rice, and mixed mud and spit. Sometimes when we eat, they pee on our heads.
These days, we have been forced to do coolies, digging for stones, transporting supplies, picking up dung, etc.
In order to make us obedient, they beat with whips, punches and kicks. In 40 days, 23 of the 50 members of our team were beaten to death, and many of the rest had broken bones. I'm the best fit on the team. ”
As he spoke, this Wei Yishan actually cried.
"So, do you remember how many kicks they kicked you and how many whips they beat you?"
"I don't quite remember, but no less than 40 feet a day, no less than 30 whips. And the slap, no less than 50. Anyway, never stop being beaten!"
Yu Tiegan nodded, came to the country of Qixia, and said to the soldiers on both sides: "I heard it!"
The soldiers of the Land of Qixia were indignant and nodded fiercely.
Yu Tiegan looked at the prisoner of the uneasy Jinyang Kingdom and showed a hideous smile: "Hit! A total of 1,600 feet, 1,200 whips, and 2,000 slaps!"
"Stop!" "The prince of the country of Jinyang in the distance was furious, "With such a fight, Yuan Infant was also killed!"
Liu Xinyu smiled, and her smile was a little indescribable: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, haven't you read our armistice agreement, when exchanging prisoners, one complete for another, one wounded for another, one crippled for another, one dead for one dead."
Written in black and white, written clearly!"
"But if you continue to fight like this, you will be a dead man!"
Yu Tiegan answered: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it depends on whether the Kingdom of Jinyang has the sincerity to redeem these captives." We are not unreasonable. If you want to avoid the death of these soldiers, then exchange them for elixir.
A soldier at the seventh level and below in the Qi refining period, three Peiyuan Pills saved his life. Of course, we still have to fight, but we will spare his life, and the degree of injury is the same as the soldiers of the country of Qixia exchanged.
Eight and nine layers, four Pei Yuan Dan.
Ten layers, five Pei Yuan Dan.
In the early stage of foundation building, there are 15 Peiyuan Dan, 30 in the middle stage, and 50 in the later stage.
In the Jindan stage, there are 200 Peiyuan pills in the early stage, 500 pills in the middle stage, and 1,000 pills in the later stage.
You can use Pei Yuan Dan and other pills of equal value. Attention, as long as the elixir!"
Zhao Huaiyun, the prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang, was furious: "You ......"
Yu Tiegan didn't wait for Zhao Huaiyun to say wow, and immediately snorted coldly at the soldiers on both sides: "What are you still doing in a daze, fight! Don't forget, feed him some 'tea'!"
The soldiers snorted and immediately punched, kicked, and whipped their whips. The terrible screams drifted between heaven and earth.
Zhao Huaiyun pointed at Liu Xinyu tremblingly, and suddenly roared angrily: "We will fight too!"
"No, Your Highness!" Sima Zhen next to him suddenly panicked, and whispered: "Your Highness, you can't fight, you can't fight, the soldiers of the country of Qixia are already very weak, and if you kill us, your plan will fail."
The top priority is to stabilize the country of Qixia, and after we have cleaned up the country of Danyang, it is not too late to clean up the country of Qixia.
And the soldiers are watching!"
Zhao Huaiyun was trembling angrily, and finally had to endure this breath and agreed to the conditions. Of course, it is still necessary to negotiate, Liu Xinyu also took a step back, and the transaction price was discounted.
An unprecedented prisoner exchange is taking place in the little-known small place of 'Tangjia Town'.
The country of Qixia, or Liu Xinyu, was ruthless and strictly implemented the 'agreement'. For example, the disabled are replaced by the disabled - to ensure that the fracture position and the broken arm position are not bad, and do it on the spot.
The exchange lasted until 4:00 p.m., and the two sides exchanged more than 130,000 prisoners. The country of Qixia has only detained some masters of the Yuan infant stage, and the country of Jinyang is still holding tens of thousands of captives in the country of Qixia.
At this moment, Tie Qing, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang, finally had a little smugness on his face: "One for the other, it's a pity that there are no prisoners on your side." Let's go, we'll see you later!"
The army of the Kingdom of Jinyang retreated mightily, but it was vigilant against the country of Qixia. With a large group of wounded soldiers who had just been replaced, steadily retreated.
Backwards, backwards, and gradually leaving the appearance of three or four kilometers. The army of the Kingdom of Jinyang breathed a sigh of relief, and the defensive barrier began to thin out.
According to the general rules of warfare and experience, after three kilometers, the coverage of almost all attacks has already been exceeded.
But at this moment, a mighty voice suddenly came from heaven and earth: "I am Wu Fanghai, the hussar general of the country of Qixia, on behalf of the country of Qixia, officially declares war on the country of Jinyang!"
"What!" The change in the country of Jinyang was all stunned, and everyone was stunned.
The young master of the crown prince, Wei Zirong, reacted the fastest: "The country of Qixia is treacherous!"
Almost at the same time, Liu Xinyu's voice floated, and there was a thick mockery in his voice: "We signed an armistice agreement, but the armistice agreement did not say how long the armistice would last. Just now we have ceased a moment.
Now I declare that the armistice has expired. And officially declared war on the country of Jinyang.
Hmph, we're not like you to go to war without a declaration!"
As soon as Liu Xinyu's voice fell, there was a flash of fire in the distance, and 25 black dots rushed like lightning.
Sima Zhen's pupils contracted, and he screamed: "Cannonballs! Double-layer defensive enchantment! Any defense is fine, just a rigid one!"
The enchantment that had not completely dispersed was suddenly strengthened, and behind the defensive enchantment, everyone held up a lot of small defensive enchantments. Seeing this, Sima Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he saw 25 black dots of different sizes burst through the first layer of defensive barriers.
But wait...... Didn't explode?
Sima Zhen's heart jumped.
At this moment, the cannonball fiercely smashed through the second layer of defensive barriers, and then plunged headlong into the ground.
The "poof...... shell plunged directly into the dirt and smashed into a 'crater'.
"Haven't exploded yet?" Sima Zhen was stunned.
But the next moment, violent explosions, flames, and death filled Sima Zhen's field of vision.
(Finally, three more, big chapter.) It's late at night, begging for tickets. I'm sleepy, and my fingers are gone. )
