    In Chang'an in October, the autumn wind is bleak.

    A little more coolness.

    Wang Qi now looks at the children from time to time, spends time with Zhao Yuyan and Mi Zhen, and then continues to handle the government affairs of the court.  After all, the State of Qi had just been established, and everything was waiting to be done. There were too many government affairs to deal with.

    The imperial examinations, academies, etc. are all advancing.

    Officials in various regions are also making adjustments to strengthen their control over local areas.

    The only one with relatively few adjustments is actually the army.  As for the army, they are all ready to go because they are preparing to attack Shu.  Everyone in the country knows that the huge Qi State cannot allow Shu to exist forever and must unify the world.

    Wang Qi is actually a little anxious about the situation in Shu, because Cao Xuan's situation is different.  By annihilating Zhang Tianyi of Shu earlier and unifying all the territories, Qi will be able to face Cao Xuan and even the attack of the Haixi Empire more calmly.

    Wang Qi would not think that the Hercynian Empire would not expand.  The other party has already had merchants from the sea or land merchants, which means that everything in Qi has been exposed.

    So the other party will definitely expand.

    This is Wang Qi¡¯s conclusion.

    Wang Qi has not urged the progress of Shu for the time being.  Because even if he is urged immediately, Wang Zongxi cannot complete it in a short while.

    When Wang Qi was reviewing government affairs, a chamberlain came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Director Chen wants to see you."

    "pass!"

    Wang Qi gave an order.

    The chamberlain went to inform. It didn't take long before Chen Qinglong hurried in. He stood still and reported: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei has sent back the latest news. Please take a look at it."

    Wang Qi took the letter, opened it and read it, with a smile on his face, and said: "Okay, father has gained control of Hanzhong County and informed us to send troops south."

    Chen Qinglong said: "As expected of the Marquis of Zhenbei, he is really powerful."

    Wang Qi ordered: "When someone comes, tell Zhuge Feng to come to the palace to see him."

    "According to the order!"

    The eunuch outside the palace replied and quickly informed him.

    Not long after, Zhuge Feng came in a hurry. He bowed and stood aside. Wang Qi gave Wang Zongxi's letter to Zhuge Feng and said: "Brother, my father wrote to say that Hanzhong County has been captured. Now Hanzhong has surrendered to Qi.  With the army of Qi State, we can send troops south. How do you think this battle should be arranged?"

    Zhuge Feng thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the armies led by Xiao Qingzhi and Yang Shanjun are all stationed in Chang'an, and both sides know that there is still war, so they are preparing for war."

    "My suggestion is to leave the army led by Yan Chixing and Nie Feng, and send Xiao Qingzhi and Yang Shanjun to jointly send troops to attack Hanzhong County, with Xiao Qingzhi as the main force and Yang Shanjun as the supplement, and let the two be responsible for destroying Zhang Tianyi."

    "This time, I don't think it's appropriate for Your Majesty to go there in person for this war. After all, there won't be any complicated wars in the middle of Shu. Instead, it's a matter for the DPRK, which is more important."

    Wang Qi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, let's arrange it this way."

    In Chang'an, there are too many government affairs.

    Wang Qi couldn't get out of his way.

    He stayed in Chang'an to take charge and let Xiao Qingzhi and Yang Shanjun go. This was the most appropriate arrangement.

    Zhuge Feng said: "Time is running out and we must capture Shu as soon as possible. I will make arrangements right now."

    "Go."

    Wang Qi nodded.

    Chen Qinglong also resigned and left, leaving Wang Qi alone to handle government affairs in the palace.  He continued to handle government affairs. There were many and complicated matters, and he could only rely on Wang Qi to handle them one by one.

    This is the emperor.

    While enjoying endless power and supreme status, they also bear heavy burdens.

    While Wang Qi was dealing with the memorial, not long after, another eunuch came in and reported that Chen Qinglong wanted to see him.  Wang Qi let Chen Qinglong enter, and after a moment, he heard hurried footsteps.

    After entering, Chen Qinglong stood still with a solemn expression and said: "Your Majesty, there has just been news from Minister Mo that the weapon has been successfully developed. Please go and review it."

    "good!"

    After Wang Qi heard this, he became happy.

    It¡¯s finally done!

    During this period, Wang Qi¡¯s mood finally had some influence.  After all, foreign countries are stronger and already have guns.  However, Da Qi's current strength is far from enough, and no hot weapons have been born yet, so he is a little anxious.

    Now, I finally take the first step to catch up.

    &On the edge of the school grounds, there are simple city wall fortifications.

    Mo Liu asked someone to put the explosive package underneath and quickly lit the fuse.

    The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have already had experience in evacuating quickly as soon as they are lit.

    Everyone retreated and watched from a distance.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Hey!  !

    The fuse continued to burn, and in the blink of an eye it had reached the end distance.

    Boom!  !  !

    A deafening sound sounded, the soil flew up in an instant, and the entire ground shook.

    Chen Qinglong felt his scalp numb, and his heart was extremely horrified.

    Zhuge Feng trembled with excitement and said: "Your Majesty, the existence of this explosive bag will also change the way of fighting. Not to mention the distance, once we use the catapult to throw the lit explosive bag onto the enemy's tower  . Or, pile up explosive packets at the city gate. Once exploded, it will be enough to have a big effect. This is an absolute weapon. With this weapon, Qi's overall strength has been raised to a higher level."

    Chen Qinglong nodded hurriedly, with an expression of approval, and said: "I also think so."

    Wang Qi said: "These weapons can play a big role in dealing with places like Shu where there are no such special weapons. But such weapons are far from enough."

    "As for Cao Xuan of Liangzhou in the Western Regions, although their rifles are different from grenades, landmines, etc., their rifles are also extremely lethal when attacking. They can kill people at a distance of two to three hundred steps."

    "If it is an attack on the battlefield, indiscriminate shooting can quickly take away people's lives. So now we are far from enough and can only passively defend."

    Wang Qidao: "We are still far away and have a long way to go."

    Zhuge Feng and Chen Qinglong¡¯s superiority has been put away.

    My heart feels a little heavy.

    Wang Qi looked at the expressions of the people and said: "But there is nothing to worry about. We now have weapons such as grenades and landmines. At least we can flexibly arrange them when fighting on the battlefield. Our next step is to study rifles step by step.  I believe that in the future, our weapons will not lose to the enemy."

    "Compared to Zhuge Feng and others, he is quite relaxed.  If there are no weapons such as gunpowder, it is indeed more difficult for Wang Qi. The problem is to develop gunpowder, grenades, and landmines. The next step can be to develop cannons.

    Once the cannon is developed, the strength of Qi will be further enhanced.

    When the time comes, you can attack or defend.

    Wang Qi looked at Mo Liu and said in a deep voice: "Mo Shangshu, arrange for people to continue the development of gunpowder, landmines and grenades and strive for improvements. Then based on the existing basis, weapons will be manufactured on a large scale and then stored. Gunpowder  It is stored with the utmost care and there can be no carelessness.¡±

    Mo Liu nodded and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I promise to complete the mission. My plan is to use the research institute here as the basis to start expanding to the surrounding areas and increase weapons storage. In the next step, we will approach the ore raw material areas nearby. In these places  Build manufacturing sites to manufacture weapons on a large scale.¡±

    He has already considered all the manufacturing, transportation and storage.  So in these aspects, Moliu is confident.  In the follow-up, he only needs to arrange the arrangements step by step, and there will be no big problems.

    Wang Qi felt relieved when he saw that Mo Liu was confident.  After Wang Qi arranged things properly, he took Zhuge Feng and Chen Qinglong back to Chang'an. After all, there were still many things in Chang'an City.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
