"Your Majesty, the last time Wei Chen took the pistol team to Xinye for support, he said that he hoped to prove the power of the pistol through this battle. Now the power has been verified. For the sake of the security of the Jin Dynasty and the expansion of the territory,

, spending a little more money to equip the pistol team is a very cost-effective deal."

"Is that a little money?'

People who become emperors tend to lose their perception of real life. Even if it is not expensive weapons like pistols, even common cold weapons such as broadswords, spears, armors, and arrow clusters, in order to equip several major armies, every year

The cost is still one hundred thousand, or even hundreds of thousands of gold!

Now Wang Mi only asks for 10,000 gold, which is already a very good deal!

"Your Majesty, as long as these pistols are built, let alone Nanyang City, Luoyang and Chang'an are just around the corner. Your Majesty is in the prime of his life. Don't you want to be rich all over the world and rule the world in the old capital of Chang'an?'

"Your Majesty, as long as you have a pistol and sufficient equipment, I can guarantee that such a good thing will be just around the corner!"

"Now our army has sufficient strength and strong morale, and the battle is going more and more smoothly. We have successively captured several important towns in Jiangbei. This has been a rare thing in the past ten or twenty years."

"Sometimes fighting is a matter of luck. Your Majesty may not know this, but there is a nursery rhyme circulating in the North." "Nursery rhyme?'

'What nursery rhyme?'

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were frequent wars, and the people in Guizhou lived in poverty. They had no hope and were so anxious that they often placed their hopes on illusory things.

Listening to nursery rhymes, prophecy is one of them.

Children, refugees who wander around various places, like to make up all kinds of vague nursery rhymes, and they also like to pass on these nursery rhymes.

Although they are said to be nursery rhymes, in fact, these short limericks often express the thoughts of adults. Some are actually sung by children by chance, while others, or the vast majority, are artificially fabricated.

spread among the population for a certain purpose.

It can be said that when this kind of nursery rhyme spreads among the people, it is to achieve a certain purpose.

Although from the perspective of later generations, it can be seen at a glance that such nursery rhymes are false, but people at that time and place generally believed it and thought it was really a revelation from God!

"Everyone has a legend that this year the sky will be auspicious and the year star will be in Wu, which will be favorable for conquests!'

"Your Majesty, this opportunity must not be missed, it will never come back again!"

In order to get more investment, painting the pie is a necessary step. You must show a beautiful picture in front of your customers, so that the customer feels that his investment is worth the money, not just value for money.

, and will get greater profits, and this deal can be concluded.

Now, what is placed in front of Sima Yao is Chang'an and Luoyang, two important cities in the Central Plains. According to past historical experience, as long as these two cities can be captured and controlled at the same time, they can use these two cities as strongholds to attack the surrounding areas.

The area continues to expand.

The success rate is extremely high. After that, moving the capital is an inevitable step!

A quick calculation shows that Sima Yao is only in his twenties now. If the war goes well, he might be able to become a serious emperor who unified the world at the age of thirty and restore the glory of the Jin Dynasty!

It is absolutely unrealistic to say that the emperor of the Jin Dynasty had never had such a dream. Sima Yao went further than his predecessors. He once made some summary of the failure of Huan Wen's Northern Expedition. He believed that,

After capturing Luoyang and Chang'an, there was no rapid consolidation. This was the main reason for Huan Wen's rapid defeat.

Sima Yao is boiling!

With a gun, you can pacify the world and conquer all directions!

Wang Mi is right, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The year star is Jupiter in modern astrology. This star has been given the same meaning in both ancient and modern divination.

It is the lucky star, which represents good luck. The Sui star is in Wu, which means that good luck is in Wu, especially in the matter of conquest, and it is invincible and indomitable.

This is also the case.

Nowadays, there is only one enemy on the opposite side of the Jin Dynasty, which is Shi Qin. Those previous strong enemies, Yao Qiang and Murong Yan, were all wiped out by Fu Jian.

The Jin Dynasty no longer has to face the dangerous situation of being surrounded by enemies from both sides and being restrained from both sides. As long as it works hard to eliminate Qin, all the nine states will be under his control, Sima Yao!

"Are you really confident?'

"Just rely on the Pistol Team?"

Sima Yao has never seen the true face of the pistol, and he doesn't want to know. As long as they can get all the territory in their hands, what method do they use?

It’s an empty city plan, it’s all about deception, it doesn’t matter!

"As long as your majesty can show your dignity and reward me with 10,000 gold, I promise that within one year, your majesty will be able to go to Chang'an City and become the emperor!'

Wang Mi's eyes were firm and his words were conclusive. The key is that he did things quickly. When he said that he would take advantage of the situation to seize Nanyang County, Sima Yao didn't quite believe it.

And now?

In just over half a month, Nanyang County was really captured!

The scale in Sima Yao's heart began to tilt, but he still had doubts.

"Is there any news from Chang'an City now?'

"Zhiyuan, you are so confident, did you get some secret information?"

Yang Ding, the senior general of the Qin clan, is now in Jiankang and has been a prisoner for some time. Will he provide exclusive information to Wang Mi and others?

Now that Sima Yao has asked about it, it is no longer easy to hide it.

In order to ask for money, Wang Mi had no choice but to use his trump card. With this weight added, someone who was stingy would surely pay happily.

"Your majesty is wise!'

"There is indeed news about Chang'an City here, Wei Chen, but it has not been confirmed yet, so Wei Chen is also hesitant whether to report it to His Majesty in advance.'

There is some news, but it is unknown whether it is true or not. Because of the urgent call from the imperial court, Wang Mi and the others were unable to stay in Nanyang City for a while. Among the sphere of influence that Jin can control, Nanyang City is currently the northernmost place.

If you want to get news about Chang'an City, this is the most convenient place.

Wang Mi and others did the same thing. In order to determine the specific situation of Chang'an City, they sent out several more teams.

As long as they send back the news, Fu Jian's life or death can be determined.

such a pity!

The imperial court refused to give Wang Mi this time. The trip from Nanyang to Chang'an would take up to a month at the fastest. Before he could get the exact news, he had already embarked on the journey back to Jiankang.

Sima Yao thought for a moment and understood Wang Mi's intention.

"But it doesn't matter.'

From Wang Mi's cautious attitude and serious expression, we can also feel that this news from Chang'an City must be quite important.

"Our army's spies in Chang'an City have reported back that several major tribes entrenched in Chang'an City are currently fighting among themselves. Chang'an City, which has always been relatively stable, is now a living hell!"

"Although the secret agent was unable to obtain the specific situation in the Qin Palace, he speculated that something might have happened to Qin Lord Fu Jian, and he might even be no longer alive!"

"You mean, Fu Jian is dead?" Sima Yao trembled slightly and almost fell off the bed.

There was no reason why Sima Yao didn't believe it. If he hadn't encountered many strange things in Nanyang City, a rational person like Wang Mi wouldn't believe it easily.

Someone nodded cautiously and poured out all his analysis. Sima Yao's face became more and more beautiful, full of excitement.

"Very good!'

“This is really great!”

The group is leaderless and internal strife breaks out. If you don't seize such a good opportunity, you will be punished by God!

"Hurry up and make a gun!

"No matter how much it costs, I will support it without any delay!"

"When the pistol is ready, we will immediately set off for the Northern Expedition!'

"We must not let the five-bearded guy take advantage again!"

Sima Yao's eyes glowed green, and his desire to conquer the city far exceeded his persistence in money. Without Yang Ding to disrupt the situation, Wang Mi finally achieved his wish.

What are you waiting for?

He stood up, turned around and ran away, but at this moment, Sima Yao, who had been confused by his talk and thought he had drunk too much, suddenly said: "Zhiyuan, wait!"

One step, two steps, three or four steps, someone took three steps and two steps together, and was about to run away. Unfortunately, his legs and feet were still a little slow, but he had no choice but to come back to his senses and put on a smile.

"The pistol team will be left to you, and you will lead the Northern Expedition!'

Wang Mi was stunned, there is such a good thing in the world?

Are you addicted to fighting?

"In addition to retaining the position of Huangmen Shilang, I also personally give you the position of Tiger Guards Lieutenant General, commanding the pistol team!"

With military power in hand, I own the world!

Sima Daozi's biggest taboo was to allow a son of a noble family like Wang Mi to take over military power. Originally, Sima Yao thought so too, but after experiencing the ups and downs of the past few days, it was obvious that he was more wary of his younger brother than a son of a noble family like Wang Mi.

Others were just restricting his power, but Sima Daozi wanted to take away his power. It was the lesser of two evils. Wang Mi, who had been leading the army as a civil servant, was also in a good mood.

I finally got my name right!

Although General Huben was only a fifth rank in the Jin Dynasty where generals were famous all over the world, this was enough for Wang Mi.

Huangmen Shilang, a civil servant, happened to be at the fifth rank among civil servants. Since a fifth-rank civil servant also served as a fifth-rank general, it can be seen that Sima Yao still used his brains.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"
