Lan Qi waved her hand and said, "I don't know much about these things, but I feel that you are right. ”

Murong Zheng smiled and said, "To put it simply, you should have heard of the terrifying power of Peacock Feather. ”

Lan Qi nodded and said, "I've heard of this, I heard that under the peacock feather, no one survived within a hundred steps." ”

Murong Zheng said: "The artillery is under a thousand steps, and no one survives. The main reason why the Warats were able to invade the Ming Dynasty with impunity was due to their strong physique and fierce cavalry. We have to admit that those barbarians in the north have lived on horseback since childhood, and they are several times stronger than our Ming people in terms of physique and riding skills. If we can't find another way in the war, we will always be on the passive. ”

"I used to write to the emperor before, asking the Ministry of Industry to carefully study the firearms of these foreigners, and then imitate them on a large scale to equip my Ming troops. Muskets are far more lethal than spears, and muskets can kill targets from a distance of 100 paces, which can reduce a lot of casualties. And the foreigner's musket is much stronger than my Ming's, and there is a sharp knife under the foreigner's musket, so that the musket can be used as a spear at close range. ”

"This is the general perception among the top ranks of our military generals, so that every soldier is equipped with a foreigner's musket. Use of starting artillery. Among them are the King of Han, who has always taken the lead in bravery, and the Lord Yong, we have discussed, and have jointly written to the emperor to imitate the firearms of foreigners. But it was rejected. ”

Lan Qi asked at this time: "Why? Why do you refuse? Although I don't know what you're talking about, I always feel that this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the emperor has no reason to refuse." ”

Murong Zheng sneered: "This is not the emperor's refusal, but the refusal of those officials led by Yan Shenggong, the emperor is also an emperor on horseback, he knows the impact of new weapons on the war, he himself has no opinion, but the major affairs of the dynasty are not decided by the emperor alone, he also has to look at the opinions of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty." But it is clear that the officials have rejected the matter. ”

Lan Qi asked, "Why is that?"

Murong Zheng sighed and said: "This is because of the continuous conquest in recent years, most of the silver in the treasury has been spent on the army, and with our successive victories, our main battle faction has gradually gained the upper hand in the imperial court, and those officials and ministers are naturally dissatisfied, since ancient times, the literati have been inferior to each other, they are the same to everyone, and the emperor also needs to use them to balance us." I had to listen to them a little more. ”

"The advice they gave us is that there is no need to imitate the things of foreigners, my Ming Kingdom is the upper state of the Heavenly Empire, to imitate the things of the small country of Xiyi, this is to lose the face of the ancestors, my Ming Dynasty has a grand territory, the country is rich and the people are strong, there is no need to bow to the small country of Xiyi. Go and study the small country of Xiyi. ”

Murong Zheng said: "Zi said: Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask. I feel that these scholars have forgotten the teachings of Master Confucius. My Great Ming Kingdom may one day die at the hands of these officials. ”

Murong Zheng held Lan Qi's hand at this time, Lan Qi was slightly stunned, and her hands trembled.

Murong Zheng said: "Qiqi, there is only one reason why I told you so much, I hope you can support me and help me." I know your talent, I hope you will come to me as a person to help me, and we will create a new Jianghu, a Jianghu without strife, without contradictions, without killing. In the end, I can use this part of my power to assist the new monarch to ascend the throne, and then reform the bad government, so that my people of the Ming Dynasty can live a good life. ”

Lan Qi withdrew her hand at this time, she didn't know how to answer Murong Zheng, Murong Zheng told her so much, although it sounded reasonable, but she always felt that something was wrong. Her mind was in a mess right now, and she didn't know how to answer.

She originally persuaded Murong Zheng to stop, why did she feel that it was wrong for her to stop him now, from the disputes in the rivers and lakes, now it has risen to the level of national righteousness and national interests.

Lan Qi didn't know what to do.

Lan Qi stood up and said, "I'm sorry I'm so upset right now, I don't know how to answer you." Can you give me a little time to think about it? I'd like to get back to you later. ”

Murong Zheng smiled and said, "Of course, I welcome you here at any time." ”

Lan Qi bowed deeply to Murong Zheng, and then turned to leave.

The corners of Murong Zheng's mouth rose, and he found that Lan Qi was becoming more and more beautiful, perhaps because of the charm precipitated by age. He really wished Lan Qi could come back to him. After all, there are only two girls he really loves, one is his first love Lan Qi, and the other is Qiu Yuling, who fell in love at first sight.

Now that he has gotten everything he thought before, he no longer needs to go through Lan Qi to attach to the Heavenly Machine Gate, if Lan Qi agrees to marry him now, he can marry her immediately, and this time his father will definitely not object again.

Lan Qi walked out of Murong Zheng's mansion, and Jiang Xinyue saw Lan Qi's sullen appearance and asked, "Senior sister, what's wrong? Could it be that he bullied senior sister?"

Lan Qi smiled and shook her head and said, "No, Senior Sister has made Yue'er wait for a long time, we finally came to the capital for a trip, let's go see Senior Brother, don't you really want to see Senior Brother, let's go find his residence now." ”

Jiang Xinyue nodded happily, Lan Qi's thoughts were still very messy, this time her envoy was not just for personal reasons, this was also arranged by the head of the sect, Ling Xuzi, Ling Xuzi also hoped that Murong Zheng could stop, otherwise the five major sects would impose the largest sanctions on him.

After all, whether the leader of the martial arts alliance is justified or not is up to the five major sects.

In other words, the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, the five major sects can remove him at any time. Or to cancel the legitimacy of Murong Zheng's position as the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Although this is the case, it is a good idea, and no one wants to do it, which in itself is a method of creating strife.

However, the right to remove the leader of the martial arts alliance was not formulated by the five major factions themselves, but was jointly formulated by the previous martial arts colleagues and the leaders of the martial arts alliance, because if the rights are handed over to the leaders of the martial arts alliance, it is easy to cause the dictatorship of the rights of the leaders of the martial arts alliances.
