However, the same thing will not happen to Wang Mi. Even if he becomes the emperor, he will never trap himself in the palace forever.
Ever since they formed an offensive and defensive alliance, the relationship between Wang Zhenying and Wang Mi has become much closer. Don't get me wrong, there is no romantic affair, they are just partners with a relatively good relationship.
There were no other guests today, so both the host and the guest were relatively comfortable.
In addition, Wang Zhenying is not the only one in the inner palace now. By her side, Dr. Song Qingyin is almost a shadow.
With Song Qingyin mediating in the middle, the meal tastes more delicious and natural.
However, everyone knows that eating is just an excuse, a incidental activity, and both parties meet for more important things.
Naturally, it was Wang Mi who started this matter.
Who allowed him to remain a minister?
Seeing that Wang Zhenying had also eaten something and was in a happier mood, he took the opportunity to say: "I led the workshop and other people to the suburbs early this morning to experiment with new weapons. Now I can give the Queen Mother an answer. This new weapon
The weapons have been successfully manufactured and will be sent to the battlefield soon!"
Wang Zhenying nodded slightly. Sure enough, this topic still revolves around war.
Ruan Qin is oblivious to all Ruan Qinchen's worries. I also understand your worries. Yes, I can explain all the reasons to you clearly.
"The specific date has not yet been determined. If so, it will be later than this spring."
"It is suitable for warships to sail!"
The border has gained a rare intensity, and for Xiao Jin in the southern border who did not rely on martial arts to build a country, that is definitely a blessing.
Does it need to be that way?
"So slow?"
It's a pity, it's too late to regret now.
That's all common sense. Even Wang Zhenying knew that Ruan Qin, the young general who led the troops in the war, might consider it.
How could I take the initiative to stir up trouble? Do you want to mess around?
On the contrary, the freezing period in the hot summer is a rare bad time.
Then he happily raised his glass and said with a smile: "Since Xiao Wang is not confident, you can wait quietly in Jiankang Palace for the bad news about Xiao Wang!"
"Furthermore, southerners are good at water warfare, but once they reach the northern border, they always need to engage in land warfare. Once there, your army will often suffer losses."
Since you are willing to delegate power, and are even willing to join forces with Wang Mi and give me a push, it means that you don't care about that kind of thing, and are even tired of power struggles.
A few people toasted slowly, secretly experimenting with weapons, and the matter of whether they informed the inner palace came to light like that.
If you hate controlling power, you will make Wang Mi the king of Langya.
Although I do not have the strength beyond that era, Wang Mi was really surprised that those people, not those noble ladies, would value me so much and help me so much. To be honest, Wang Mi was really surprised.
The combined combat effectiveness of the two people should be quite low.
Let alone a small-scale battle, there was not even a large-scale sneak attack. It was so quiet and honest.
Is this more uncertain?
I can really pretend.
You can always find someone now. This is not possible at all.
That Langya King, today, with no eyeliners or anyone else around, I actually still bite you, Xiao Jin.
That said, the north is especially dry and rainy in winter and spring. In that case, no matter how small a river is, it often recedes into the dry season.
"The Queen Mother didn't have any instructions, but it doesn't matter. You have already said that even if there is no future, your feelings towards the Queen Mother will change, and you will definitely treat her badly."
If this is the case, why choose spring?
Therefore, Wang Zhenying is still full of faith in Wang Mi's confidence. Logically speaking, in fact, that kind of thing needs you to worry about.
As long as we can ensure that the water is abundant in winter, or even when it freezes, we will be bullied by the northern legions, and that year will be considered a wasted effort.
However, Wang Zhenying is also an adult. Do you really believe that the Central Plains cannot be pacified by just relying on a few so-called cannons?
I always feel that those days were not a bit unreal.
If others come to attack it, it’s already hard to come by, so what else do you ask for?
Very wonderful!
Only one person, be it the shrewd He Youji or the intimidating Kong Wu Tan Pingzhi, did not bring a bad brother here.
Wang Zhenying frowned. Together with Song Zhongyin's part, the two men were confused and confused by what Wang Mi said.
Especially in the months before Sima Yao's death, your mood was getting worse day by day, and you looked even more full of energy and youthful.
"As for the Northern Expedition, since you have made so few preparations, if you are going to retreat, please take a look at it."
How can we sail on such a frozen river bank?
If you can do half of it, it's considered bad.
However, the preparation of fodder cannot be delayed.
Wang Zhenying put forward her own opinion in a bad mood, and Wang Mi nodded frequently to express his approval. As a boudoir man who had almost never participated in the political affairs of the later dynasties, it was not very complicated for Wang Zhenying to not have such an opinion.
I can really act.
You don't know much either.
Especially these small warships that require water combat?
Wang Mi said, and Wang Zhenying nodded. You have heard too little of that kind of talk. If there is anything new, that is what you are paying attention to.
The Queen Mother made the first move, and Wang Mi became less open-minded.
The smoothness is almost astonishing, especially for Ruan Qin, now that he is here, he actually feels a little unreal.
That's simply not an anomaly.
Therefore, it is only now, not in the hot season of previous years, that the southern troops are also in a defensive position.
Since she cares about that aspect of things, she just wants to worry about that. Originally, Wang Zhenying saw a person who was indifferent to fame and wealth.
Although the words sound bad, you also know that when this day comes, Wang Mi will definitely be able to keep his words.
As long as the temperature is high enough, the ice will freeze very thickly. In this way, no one, no matter whether it is a war horse, or even a small chariot, can walk under the ice without fear of collapse.
A break occurs.
You know, even in spring, in these extremely cold places in the north, the river water is far from fully developed.
Ruan Qinchen nodded frequently and thought to himself: Does he know everything?
However, something even more real is still waiting for me ahead.
Although the supply of fodder will become very easy during that season, logically speaking, it is also a bad time to take action.
"spring?"
"In the past, the southern army was afraid of the powerful northerners, because their soldiers and horses were weak and they controlled millions of strings. But you have few horses in the south, and your soldiers are physically weaker than the northerners."
The method of use has nothing to do with fire. In those days, many firearms were made under Wang Mi's auspices.
You also know that those new weapons do not have unique new names, they are called firearms.
However, when faced with such a trivial matter as the Northern Expedition, you still have to refrain from saying a word.
Looking at Wang Mi's side, it's not at all out of disadvantage.
"Now that new weapons have been made, the Northern Expedition is far away, right?"
It’s too much!
I feel so dizzy when I feel conscious that I can even distinguish between east, west, north and south clearly.
"On the day when the little king goes to war, you will definitely take His Majesty with you out of the city to see him off!"
What a mistake!
"Mother Dowager's worries are unfounded. Kanqi said that the situation in Beifu is still the same as before. I will make little preparations and wait until the strength has accumulated to a certain level before launching the Northern Expedition."
Are all of that real?
In contrast, the Southern Army looked forward to winter, while the Northern Army did not have a bad feeling about winter.
"However, the situation is the same now. Even if the troops withdraw in the spring, there is still no guarantee of the date."
What kind of cannon is this? Wang Zhenying has never seen it with her own eyes. But she has heard this movement. It is indeed very powerful.
Wang Mi suddenly felt that he had made no mistakes today.
"You will always be respectful in front of the queen, but this will make the queen unhappy. The queen has no instructions, so she can't speak openly."
Wang Mi smiled and said: "Mother Dowager, from the inner house, please listen to your detailed explanation."
Wang Zhenying was slightly startled and thought to herself: Xiao Jin’s military flag?
"So, today I invite the young king to the palace, partly for hospitality, and partly for entrustment. There are no monarchs or ministers outside, only the earnest expectations of two strong women."
Song Zhongyin on the side also has an elegant figure, and it seems that he is not a knowledgeable man.
Who knows what you men want to do when they are tied together!
So, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
From a human perspective, Wang Mi is also a special woman, how can she withstand such praise?
Now the North and the South are in a state of peace for the time being. On the one hand, the tribes in the north are not yet stable, which is why they are willing to provoke new disputes. On the other hand, the natural conditions are suitable.
The water is plentiful, how to sail?
Very bad!
"Here, let me toast you."
As long as the reserves are sufficient for one or two years, they cannot cope with a large-scale winter campaign.
That's too early!
Then we can't understand why the Southern Army strengthened its defense in winter, just to prevent such an impact.
Then these two beauties warmly invited me to eat and drink, and encouraged me over and over again. They praised me in all kinds of ways, saying things like "I haven't done anything for many years," "unparalleled heroes," and all kinds of bad things.
As soon as Wang Mi finished speaking, you continued: "When does he plan to set off?"
Although Ruan Qinchen is a harem man, you also know everything about the so-called war.
Ruan Qinchen drank the glass of wine in one gulp... "In this expedition, we will definitely recapture the old capital and plant your Xiaojin's military flag under the tower of Chang'an City!"
"It's also a must-see for him, just treat it as a family dinner."
"The empress trusts you and makes you King of Langya. Naturally, you will live up to the expectations of the empress and you will definitely be able to regain your homeland of the Central Plains!"
Why wait for a more appropriate time to strike?
"What kind of cannon are you relying on?"
Ruan Qinchen put the kuaizi on and looked at Ruan Qin intently.
However, this winter can be said to have been spent without any danger.
It will inevitably give people a sense of reality.
At the critical moment, there was not even a helper!
However, even if it is abnormal, it still depends on the future. According to the future, it is not at all Wang Mi's credit that we can avoid today's situation.
All I heard was that I said: "The Queen Mother is worried. I see that I haven't made all the preparations, so I have no arrangements."
He looked at the opposite side. There was Wang Zhenying and Song Zhongyin. Both of them were troubled. They were full of evil thoughts. The two of them had an absolute alliance, and some said their relationship was bad.
You were a concubine, and whether the battle was bad or not had nothing to do with you.
"In this case, Xiao Wang has no way to defeat the enemy?"
Since the current situation looks so bad, with a melee in the north, there will be no room for a small-scale war within a short period of time, at least within seven years.
In that world, there are very few people who are both capable and willing to let others have their way. As the Queen Mother of Xiao Jin, if you delegate power, there will be no problem at all. It is certain that these ministers in the court will
He even claps his hands and praises!
Of course, the family banquet couldn't be a family banquet, but he knew that even if it was a real family banquet, there would still be a lot of fuss in the Jiankang Palace.
"After all, you have too many war horses, and the northern tycoons don't rely on tens of thousands of war horses. Once we attack with war horses, it will be difficult for your army to resist."
"It was Hidden Mother who said that, in fact, ever since you returned to Jiankang, preparations have been made for the Northern Expedition. Whether it is soldiers or firearms, you have taken care of all aspects."
If the number of small cannons is not as small as that of bows and arrows, it will be doubtful.
According to ancient ethics, after a few victories, the North and the South would not be able to live in peace and harmony for a few years.
You also know that Wang Mi is a practical general. He spends all day outside the general's workshop doing various busy tasks, but he is not mainly supervising the manufacture of various new weapons.
Yes, even though I am not mentally prepared for that, I still have to say what needs to be said.
That went so well!
"When does Zhiyuan plan to finish preparations?"
However, now, Wang Mi actually claims to launch a small Northern Expedition this spring, which may make the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying worried.
Wang Zhenying and Song Zhongyin exchanged a look, and Zhongyin immediately understood and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang can be regarded as the arm that your mothers rely on. From now on, Xiao Jin's behavior will all depend on Xiao Wang's actions."
"Congratulations to you. King Langya is indeed young and promising."
"So, for so many years, the Northern Expedition has always been difficult to carry out. Even if it is carried out, it often fails. This is the reason."
If I had performed too bravely in several battles, I would have frightened those wealthy families into fearing that they would dare to invade the southern territory again.
Obviously, at that time, it was still very cold in the north and the rivers were frozen, far from being civilized.
Although the Queen Mother is of a lower generation, she is actually only a few years older than Ruan Qin, and he is also a man with a beautiful smile.
Wang Zhenying took the lead in raising the wine glass, and Song Qingyin beside her was naturally not behind. As a minister, how could Wang Mi be firm when it came to drinking.
As long as you can protect the large-scale things around you, that's all.
For the southern legions, it is certainly possible to use warships to retreat from water battles.
After all, both the war horses and the pack donkeys need to eat fresh forage, as long as there is no hay.
