"Your Majesty, I think that the most urgent task now is to clear our relationship with the turmoil in Youzhou. In addition, we need to reward Zhao Xun and Xiaoguo's army. After all, regaining lost land is indeed a major event that has contributed to the country." King Qi said that the two countries have to do the best.
Murong Cheng took the lead in speaking.
Situ Lei also said, "I think what the King of Qi said is very reasonable. We should now declare that the world is not planned by the court, but by the large clans and some officials who confiscated the land in Xiaoguo Army.
It has nothing to do with the court. Speaking of which, this is also the fault of Xiaoguo Army. If they had not confiscated the land of famous families and noble families, how could there have been any unrest? Of course, the Xiaoguo Army's achievements in recovering lost land naturally need rewards.
. Therefore, the court should reward Xiaoguo Army and Zhao Xun greatly to reward them for their achievements in recovering lost territory, but it should also be clear that Xiaoguo Army itself has the responsibility to not shirk the turmoil." Situ Lei was indeed powerful,
He put aside himself and circled Xiaoguojun in, and did not forget to declare the court's kindness.
"At the same time, the reason why the reward was not given in time was because the court waited for the Xiaoguo Army to recover the three prefectures and rewarded them in a unified manner!"
The officials of the imperial department captured by the Xiaoguo Army were also the most important evidence, so Situ Lei said that these people were ministers who had been dismissed long ago. Although this was helpless, it still made some ministers dissatisfied.
, but when you abandon your child, no one wants to.
The 35-year-old emperor Murong Kang looked at the Zuo Prime Minister and the King of Qi who were originally opposite each other, and cursed in his heart.
"Since that's the case, the matter will be handled by the left prime minister. The left prime minister ordered the Ministry of Personnel to give me a commendation and reward it well. Don't get the name of a jealous minister and leave the court!"
Situ Lei returned to the mansion with a dark face, "Master, are the stupid pigs from Youzhou still in the mansion?"
Seeing that his master looked dark, the butler responded carefully: "Eight people are here, in Xinxiang Pavilion!" These eight people are all the heads of the prominent family in Youzhou. After Zhao Xun destroyed the family business, they turned to him too much.
.
"Buried them and the bastard who was in charge of Youzhou's intelligence and contact!" Situ Lei said coldly.
"Buried...buried?" The butler was stunned. It was fine yesterday and served with good wine and food. Why did you do today... But as Situ Lei's position as the butler of the internal affairs of the Situ Lei, he was naturally not a fool, so he hurriedly left.
Xindu City.
"Governor, Xiaoguo Army is here again, are you still not seeing each other?" Wang Fang said in a low voice as if he was old because of Sima Feng's death.
"See me? Let them come in!" Feng Meng raised his head and said in a deep voice.
A moment later, a mighty 40-year-old man was welcomed by Wang Fang.
"Xue Qinglan of Xiaoguo Army has met the Governor!"
"Xue Qinglan... It's you, the former deputy general of Zuo Longxiang Guard. Unexpectedly, you also entered the Xiaoguo Army." Feng Meng said lightly.
"The Xiaoguo Army is for the country and the people, why should I join? It's the Governor, now it's rumored that you are a villain who harms the country and the people. The northern front line is not good, and it's all the way. Governor, I think,
The court will soon push their activities completely."
Feng Meng knew that Xue Qinglan's words were nothing more than telling him that the court could retreat, but he could not refuse because he did it.
"Let's not talk about it, the court said that it disappoints the people in all places and makes the officials sad. General Xue, what do you want to do when you come here? Persuading surrender?" Feng Meng looked at Xue Qinglan and said in a muffled voice. He was older than Xue Qinglan.
But he was far less comfortable than Xue Qinglan's living. He heard with his own ears that the people in Xin Capital were insulting him behind his back, but he had no choice.
The war between the three prefectures in Youbei and the eastern provinces was unfavorable. The Liaodong Kingdom and Sumo Mohe troops counterattacked the Xiaoguo Army's Eastern Expedition Army. For a moment, not only the people of Youzhou were excited, but also the people of other states were talking about it. The battle to recover the lost land was good.
, Benefiting the country and the people, now that it is like this, how can we not make the people worry and not let those passionate scholars point at some people and curse?
"Persuad to surrender? No, no, no! The governor is still the governor, but we must believe in the things in the capital." Xue Qinglan said lightly.
"Why should I give it to you? Your Xiaoguo Army occupied the land of my four palaces for no reason, and one-third of Jizhou fell into your hands."
Xue Qinglan smiled faintly and said, "We don't have to rely on the governor. The governor thought that the five thousand people in this city could hold on to the huge Xindu City? I dare say that as long as we are willing, we can take this in less than a day.
The city, and I don’t need a single cent for my Xiaoguo Army. It means occupying the northern part of Jizhou, the governor, have you also killed us? Besides, the people of Jizhou are probably more willing to incorporate into my Xiaoguo Army.
Let's go, what do the governor think?"
Feng Meng took a breath, but was squeezed by Xue Qinglan and could not speak. Yes, he could not give it to him, but Xindu City would definitely not be able to defend it. Not to mention the 40,000 Xiaoguo Army and tens of thousands of civilians outside the city,
Even the people and soldiers in the city were unwilling to defend this city for themselves. If the Xiaoguo Army had not attacked the city, I was afraid that the soldiers in the city would have opened the city gate long ago to welcome the Xiaoguo Army into the city.
He can burn the city's supplies, but why dare he do this? What can he do? Suddenly, he didn't know what the use is to stay in Xindu City? Stick to Xindu City? Survival and die with Xindu City? Do the people appreciate it?
?Apart from the big clans in the city, I'm afraid no one appreciates it. But now, who in Jizhou dares to speak out to resist the Xiaoguo Army? That is, he is in the same group as the treacherous villains, and he is an accomplice who incites and turmoil in Youzhou.
It was the mastermind of the unfavorable expedition.
"My Lord said that compared with many local officials, the governor is a good official, but this time he was ordered. My Lord hopes that the governor will continue to be the governor of Jizhou and will be governed with my Xiaoguo Army in the future.
”
"Haha... Speaking of which, I just want to use me and don't want the new governor to cause trouble for you. However, someone needs to be responsible for this matter, and I am the most conspicuous one. Your master's idea is to make a comeback.
Let’s take the new governor in the future.”
"As long as the governor wants to send his trust to the capital, he will send the supplies of the city's military and the stored grain taxes of the March 5th Mansion, the governor will no longer be the most conspicuous one."
"Governor, you don't want to be pointed at the back and scolded all the time. If you lose your official position, tsk... Governor doesn't care, but Governor's relatives may not be able to withstand the scolding of others."
Feng Mengben opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, and finally he only sighed.
After Xue Qinglan left, Wang Fang looked at the desolate governor and whispered: "Governor, what should we do now? Let Xindu City and them?"
Feng Meng sighed and said, "Don't let it go? Can you hold on? Okay, things have come to this point, and someone always needs to give in. You don't want to really fight with Xiaoguojun."
Wang Fang smashed it, smashed it, and didn't know what he muttered. Obviously, he didn't have hope for sticking to Xindu City. But he was unwilling to accept it. He was the commander of Xindu Mansion, and now only Xindu City is in his hands.
, and in the future, it will become an empty stance without power. This is only the empty stance of Xiaoguojun.
"Wang Fang, you have real ability. Stay under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army. If what he does satisfy you, you should serve the Xiaoguo Army. Although the Xiaoguo Army is arrogant and ignoring the court's laws, he has to do so.
Say that what they do is really beneficial to the country and the people."
"Governor... subordinates..."
"Okay, don't say anything. I will be in trouble in the future. Maybe I will rely on your help. In the afternoon, I will take the 1,000 guards of the Governor's Office or Jizhou Office to go there. Here you will give Xiaoguo Army a gift.
Just remember, don't have any thoughts. The Xiaoguo Army is cruel to the enemy outside, and the same is true for the internal one."
At the end of June, under the persuasion of the Xiaoguo Army, the governor of Jizhou decided not to abide by some unreasonable edicts and gave up Xindu City. He also admitted that what the Xiaoguo Army did was to benefit the country and the people, and should not be done.
The villain is jealous of...
Feng Meng, the governor of Jizhou, left Xindu City, and the entire Xindu Prefecture was broken. The five northern prefectures of Jizhou were officially included in the rule of the Xiaoguo Army. Although the Xiaoguo Army made a big statement and wanted to go to Luoyang to seek an explanation, it steadily took over the new
The five governments that were obtained were issued, and the new policies were issued bit by bit. Now, with the famous Xiaoguo Army's new policies, no one will blatantly oppose it again.
A new round of expansion has begun under Youzhou, northern Jilin and Xiaoguo Army. Fortunately, Zhao Xun has allowed the recruits to continue to train soldiers. Expansion is not a big problem, but combat effectiveness needs to be verified. The students of the Military Academy are also
One by one, the lower-level officers from each prefecture, capital, and battalions have undergone great adjustments. Even officers from the front lines of the East Three Prefectures, who were trained in the Military Academy, were also sent to other positions.
It is to serve in the newly formed five government troops.
In Youzhou's prefecture-level academies, many scholars with real materials were directly appointed as assistants in various prefectures and counties, which made these scholars very excited. However, the scholars who entered Luoyang and passed the Jinshi were still in the six ministries and various government offices.
Internship, waiting for distribution.
What is Zhao Xun doing? He is now lying on black gunpowder.
He just knew that black gunpowder was simple to make, and there were only three materials needed, sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal. The materials were simple, but the most important thing was the ratio of the three things. As long as the best ratio was found, then
Once these three things are mixed, they will become essential items for killing and robbing goods.
But he had never been in contact with this thing in his previous life, so he put it on his own gunpowder? It seems that it is not a good thing...
Since being besieged by Liaodong Kingdom and Sumo Maru tribes, Zhao Xun thought of this thing when he looked at the black head outside the city. No matter how much damage it was, the shocking sound was enough to make these people never seen before.
The world-wide local buns were shocked. Packing a few big bags with iron nails and scraps inside is definitely a big killer, especially when there are many people, if there are a large number of people, it will be a large area.
Among these three materials, charcoal is the easiest to get. When the trees burn, the charcoal is left behind. The key is sulfur and saltpeter. These two things are not ordinary things when they hear the name.
Among them, sulfur is the raw material for rockets and other objects in the military, and this thing is available in the Anton Mansion Warehouse.
Saltpeter is mostly used for medical purposes, and this thing is used more frequently in medicine, that is, a medicinal material. But Zhao Xun knew that during this period, small white particles would be produced on the walls of some damp toilets, and
These things are potassium nitrate, which is the main component of saltpeter.
In order to get these things quickly, Zhao Xun directly ordered the people in the city to collect them and exchange them for money. In fact, there are still many things in summer. After collecting them, they can be filtered and then used.
It is very dangerous to make gunpowder, and Zhao Xun was prepared for this, because he had to grind three raw materials and mix them. Once static electricity or Mars was generated, it would cause a fire and even an explosion.
In addition, because he wanted to keep it confidential, Zhao Xun specially selected a group of loyal and unafraid of death from the craftsman's camp, and recruited more than a hundred retired soldiers to help.
A corner was specially drawn out to the side courtyard of General Andongcheng for the use of craftsmen for the camp. He also bought a large mansion next to it for experiment purposes. Every move of these people will be in the sight of the personal guard camp.
.
The raw materials are available, but to make them work, we naturally need to find the most reasonable ratio. Only in this way can we create the best explosive power. This black gunpowder is not very powerful. If the effect is small, it is really better to make it.
Fireworks go.
"Brother Zhao, you let someone collect...what do that?" Su Ziyan, who had a skin relationship with Zhao Xun, has changed now. She is not cold in front of Zhao Xun, but looks like a curious baby.
Regardless of the city defense, I was puzzled every day when I ran to the craftsman who was specially established in the General's Mansion. It was especially difficult for Zhao Xun to ask the people to collect the toilet.
"Zi Yan, wait and see, then... Humph... Your husband, I will use these things to beat the Marine Army outside the city to run away with her head." Looking at Wu Ren, she hugged Su Ziyan, in her ears
said while saying.
"But, many people in the city are talking secretly..." Su Ziyan, whose face was red, said softly, and her charming voice made Zhao Xun's impulse.
"Geniuses are all envied by others..." Zhao Xun said with a disapproval of it with a smile, hugged Su Ziyan and entered the inner room.
Zhao Xun collected this thing naturally made Andongcheng puzzled, but if you have money, why not? Even the people of other ethnic groups were happy to exchange money from the Xiaoguo Army, which had a great impact on the Xiaoguo Army.
Of course, the saltpeter in the city was also collected by the Xiaoguo Army.
"It's still during the day...why are you..."
"What's wrong during the day? Can the couple prevent their relationship during the day?"
