Soon, the news that the Korean Crown Prince Han An became the new King of Korea spread throughout China.
As for the "official" version of his accession to the throne, when Han An escorted Han Xu, who was plotting to usurp the throne, to King Han Hui, King Han Hui was so angry that he became so angry that he couldn't even breathe. So angry!
A country cannot live without a king for a day, so Han An naturally took up the position of king.
But the real version is: Han Xu was escorted to King Han Hui with bruises all over his body, and began to cry and complained that he was being used. King Han was about to continue asking questions, but Han An cut off Han Xu's head with a knife, and then it didn't matter. Slowly telling everything in detail, King Han Hui realized that he had been deceived. He was so anxious that he couldn't catch his breath and burped!
In fact, the way King Han Hui died was quite good. Since Han An had made the facts clear, it meant that he had to die. It was better to be angry to death than to be killed by his own son, which would give him more face.
Zhao Mu and Xiao Wei Mou were dumbfounded. They originally wanted to focus on investigating Han An to clear themselves of the charges. Who would have thought that someone would become the King of Han first? How could they investigate? There were very few insiders, so who would dare to tell the truth?
Zhao Mu was better off. After all, he and Guo Kai wore the same pair of trousers and did not receive much punishment. Wei Mu's life was difficult because he was dismissed from his position as general and stayed at home all day long.
Various countries sent envoys to congratulate him, and Ji Jie was no exception. Not only did he send envoys to congratulate him, but he also brought a generous gift of a recipe for black powder.
The craftsmen in several countries who are responsible for developing new weapons are almost all stymied by the bottleneck of the formula. The reason why Ji Jie is so generous is very simple, because the people of Qin are ahead of the six countries and they have made a major breakthrough. As a result, Qin will Once again eyeing the Central Plains, this is something Ji Jie doesn't want to see. He can't just watch the already powerful Qin take the lead again.
Ji Jie knew very well how capable Han An was. After giving him this formula, within half a month, the other six countries would also know about it. This was exactly his purpose.
Being able to get the support of Zhou Dynasty, Han An felt proud of his face. When facing envoys from various countries, he had a strong aura and behaved like a king.
Although what the Seven Kingdoms will master is only the initial shape of the new weapon, it can be regarded as the difference between steamed buns and flatbreads. In fact, there is not much difference. Ji Jie has to put aside other thoughts and continue to study more practical weapons.
On the floor in the study room, crumpled pieces of draft paper can be seen everywhere.
Airplanes, cannons, tanks, these are the kings of modern warfare, but Ji Jie only knows the appearance of these things. As for the inner structure, he has never seen them.
This is like asking a person who has only seen pictures of the appearance of an airplane to build an airplane. It is easier said than done!
"Grandma, if I had known this, I would have studied business administration and directly applied for the military academy!" Ji Jie threw another piece of paper. What he has to do now is to fundamentally change the firing method of the Sky Cannon and turn it into a For a real artillery gun, whether it is shooting accuracy or range, it must be greatly improved.
As for the thunderbolt bullet, it was originally designed to be used as a melee weapon. There is still a lot of potential to be tapped when firing the thunderbolt crossbow, and there is no need to make too many improvements for the time being.
The production of the gun barrel is not a problem, the forging supervisor can fully meet the technical level; the propelling of gunpowder is not a problem; the stability of the cannonball during flight has also been solved; the range and accuracy have also been overcome one by one.
The most difficult part is the trigger device. The trigger Ji Jie developed before cannot be applied now.
"Your Majesty, a letter from the grassland!"
Ji Lin returned the news from the grassland. At this time, Rouyue already had the power to fight against Wuli Shanyu's branch. Facing the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered by Wuli Shanyu, she did not lose at all.
It can be seen from Ji Lin's letter that she can't wait to return to Ji Jie.
"Hey, woman!" Ji Jie, trying to change his mind, threw the drawing aside and began to write a reply to Ji Lin.
…
The Great Zhou Dynasty developed rapidly under Ji Jie's governance. In addition to being incomparable with the Seven Kingdoms in terms of territory, the current Great Zhou Dynasty's comprehensive national power has surpassed the relatively weak Yan and Han countries. The situation of the Seven Kingdoms coexisting has officially become the Eight Kingdoms!
The term "Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period" will no longer exist.
On the huge map, Ji Jie drew an area. These places originally belonged to the Rongdi people, but are now in the hands of the Zhou Dynasty.
"Although the living environment on the grassland is worse, it is a good place to herd horses and sheep!" Ji Jie put red dots on the locations where the four people lived and said: "Cities should be built in these four places to encourage people to go there. Anyone can live in the border areas, including Rongdi people and Huns living in various places. As long as they don’t harbor any disloyal intentions, they can become a member of our Great Zhou Dynasty!”
"What a great idea, sir!" Zhao Ling, as the cavalry commander, knew the importance of war horses. He said happily: "With four grassland towns, a large number of herdsmen will gather around them, and war horses will be continuously sent to the army. In hand!"
"Then appoint General Zhao to be the leader of this task!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "Building a city is different from fighting a war. Are you confident?"
"Yes!" Zhao Ling was full of confidence.
At this moment, Sima Xueran walked in anxiously and handed a letter into Ji Jie's hand.
The handwriting is elegant, and the envelope also has a faint fragrance. This smell is familiar to him. This letter is from the beautiful sister Qin Qing.
"What happened?" Ji Jie asked.
Sima Xueran said: "I received news a while ago that King Qin was going to take action against Qin's trading company. I thought it was a rumor and didn't tell you. But in the past few days, new news has been sent one after another. I think Qin Qingjijie must have That’s why I wrote to you!”
The King of Qin wants to take action against Qin's trading company? How is it possible? Qin Qing is the largest businessman in the Qin State. His business names are all over China. Where to start?
Opening the envelope with doubts, Qin Qing's tone in the letter was completely different from before. As expected, it was exactly what Sima Xueran said, King Qin had evil intentions.
According to Sima Xueran's analysis, it is precisely because Qinqing's business is so big that it can almost influence the economic lifeline of a country. As the king of a country, who would tolerate such a thing?
In the past, Qin Qing was loyal to Qin, and the King of Qin had no suspicion of her. After meeting Ji Jie, her loyalty to Qin changed subtly. She not only provided him with information when the two sides went to war, but also openly sent supplies. , how could these things escape the eyes of King Qin?
"It's really a wave of ups and downs!" Ji Jie put down the letter and sighed: "It seems that I have to go to Qin in person. Sister Qing has caused this disaster for me. I can't just sit back and ignore it."
