Sima Zhen got off the city wall as quickly as possible and jumped directly.
Diao Deshan saw Sima Zhen¡¯s performance and muttered in a low voice: Stay calm.
The sound was not loud, but it just reached the bottom of the city wall.
Sima Zhen's face turned dark immediately after he landed, but he didn't care about it and returned to the temporary commander's mansion as quickly as possible to check the detailed information.
After the tea time, Sima Zhen's complexion turned completely dark. But Sima Zhen was worthy of being a commander-in-chief and quickly calmed down; he opened the simple map and began to look at it. Gradually, a smile appeared on his lips:
"Although Xingchang County won the victory, they were unable to defend Yunhaiguan. Now Yunhaiguan is completely in the center of our Jinyang Kingdom's sphere of influence, and they can only retreat in the end.
Therefore, we are not afraid of them cutting off the escape route, closing the door and beating us ahem, surrounding us.
The only thing I'm worried about now is what the army in the rear will do next! We need an army to contain them! "
Diao Deshan, who hurried over, said from the side: "Commander, the most important thing now is artillery. The message clearly mentioned that the reason why the troops of Qixia Kingdom and Xingchang County are invincible this time is artillery! "
A few days passed, and they finally got terms such as "artillery" - this was the information brought by Jiuyang Sect.
The rebellion of Jiuyang Sect brought not only nouns, but also some general descriptions of artillery. Although it is not exact, it at least lets Sima Zhen know the basic principles of artillery.
Sima Zhen nodded slowly: "Have all the main ingredients in the shells been studied?"
Diao Deshan nodded and shook his head: "We can only confirm for the time being that the three main ingredients are the 'spiritual items' of black gunpowder.
There is currently no way to completely determine the specific situation of the spiritual items, and no similar minerals have been found.
But the composition of ordinary black gunpowder has been completely determined, and these ordinary black powder gunpowder can explode, make loud noises, etc.
Perhaps the lethality is far less than that of Xingchang County¡¯s artillery and shells. But if we can use ordinary black gunpowder to build our own artillery, it can at least boost morale and cause some trouble to the enemy! "
Sima Zhen immediately ordered: "Let the craftsmen in the army and local families work hard to build artillery!"
Diao Deshan went down and personally arranged the production of artillery. But soon, Diao Deshan frowned - he had no idea where to start!
It¡¯s one thing to know the principle, but it¡¯s another thing to create it.
If nothing else, just the production of gun barrels is not a small problem. There is also the structure of the cannonball, which seems simple but has a lot of technical content.
You know, before the explosive shells, the solid cannonballs in another world were used for two to three hundred years!
In the end, Diao Deshan had to return to Sima Zhen and said with some regret: "Many craftsmen said that if we want to produce practical artillery, we will need at least two months to explore!"
"Two months!" Sima Zhen's voice was a little shrill. In just a few days, Xingchang County's army had achieved three devastating victories; if it were two months later, who the hell knows what would happen to the Qixia Kingdom in two months.
But in the end, Sima Zhen calmed down and turned around, "Since this artillery belongs to the Zhang family, is there any way to win over the Zhang family?"
Diao Deshan thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid I have to ask the Jiuyang Sect about this matter. Then we'll see if there is a way to talk to the Zhang family through the Jiuyang Sect."
Sima Zhen nodded slowly: "Then you should go to Jiuyang Sect in person and discuss this matter with Jiuyang Sect. As long as the price can be afforded, agree to the Zhang family first. Anyway, when the Qixia Kingdom is destroyed, the Zhang family will No matter how much you eat, you will spit it out!¡±
"clear!"
But not long after Diao Deshan left, Sima Zhen received new information again, which was sent by Jiuyang Sect:
The new emperor of the Kingdom of Qixia passed away, and it was said that he was possessed by the evil spirit. Now the princess of the Kingdom of Qixia, Liu Xinyu, has become the regent and is temporarily in charge of the national affairs of the Kingdom of Qixia. The marriage matter is over here.
"Sichen Sichen!" Sima Zhen frowned slightly. He didn't have much contact with Liu Xinyu and didn't know much about her. He instinctively felt that this was the end of the road for the country of Qixia, and a princess was allowed to be the regent!
Sima Zhen remembers very clearly that Liu Xinyu, the princess of Qixia Kingdom, is only eighteen years old, which is remarkable for her nineteen years old. How can such a girl survive in today's national situation??How much effect!
"Haha, this may be the best news in recent times." Sima Zhen thought naturally. He felt that he had seen the end of Qixia Kingdom.
¡¡¡¡
But Sima Zhen would not know that at this time in the palace of Qixia Kingdom, in the meeting hall, Liu Xinyu sat directly on the throne.
The ministers were in an uproar, Your Royal Highness, you are sitting in the wrong seat.
However, none of the Prime Minister Ouyang Si, the Minister of Hubu, the Minister of War, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, etc. expressed opposition.
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became strange.
Liu Xinyu glanced around coldly. She was dressed in red armor and had a seven-foot flame gun in her hand. She looked like a goddess of war rather than a regent.
"Everyone, now that the country is in crisis, I don't want to listen to nonsense. Starting from the prime minister, I will report the details of all the things I am responsible for in order!"
Ouyang Si immediately went out and gave a detailed report on what he was doing. The prime minister needs to be responsible for the overall politics of the country, ensure the stability of the country, and try to coordinate the war situation.
Liu Xinyu and Liu Xinyu were satisfied with Ouyang Si's meticulousness and nodded with satisfaction: "So, the rebellious families, sects, etc. that can be determined now are mainly concentrated in the occupied areas and the 'Wuyang County' in the north of Jianwu County?"
"Yes." Ouyang Si did not hesitate.
Liu Xinyu thought for a moment and immediately ordered: "Order the governor of Wuyang County to lead all forces loyal to the country to retreat. Take away everything that can be taken away. What cannot be taken away destroy the strong walls and clear the country.
Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot.
If there is an opportunity, immediately cleanse all the rebellious families, sects, etc. "
"Ah" Ouyang Si was shocked, "Your Highness, Wuyang County can still block the attack of the Kingdom of Jinyang."
"That's because Wu Fanghai is dragging him, and there are Xingchang County's legions behind him!" Liu Xinyu explained, and then said coldly: "Go and pass the order quickly, and we can evacuate before Wuyang County is completely occupied. Withdraw as much strength as you can. We must shrink the defense line with a purpose!"
Only then did everyone agree with Liu Xinyu¡¯s order.
¡°Then each official took turns reporting on the situation they knew, and Liu Xinyu asked in great detail. There were actually a few officials among them who hesitated and couldn't explain clearly. Liu Xinyu dismissed him on the spot and promoted his deputies, former subordinates, etc.
After a morning meeting, Liu Xinyu dismissed 16 officials, but also appointed 16 officials.
For the dismissed officials, Liu Xinyu immediately sent someone to supervise them. If any improper behavior is found, they can be executed first and then reported!
At the critical moment, Liu Xinyu's "first fire" made the atmosphere in the court strange. Some were happy and felt that the princess had hope of saving the country; but most of them disagreed. You are just a little princess, but you really think of yourself as the regent.
Liu Xinyu glanced around. She wanted to find a 'chicken' and kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
The officials were not stupid and bowed their heads one after another.
Liu Xinyu glanced around, and a faint smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth. There seemed to be ridicule in the smile. Suddenly Liu Xinyu spoke: "Ouyang Chu!"
Someone among the guards immediately came out, the sons of Ouyang Chu and Ouyang Si.
"I heard Liu Xinyu say softly: "Ouyang Chu, go and inform Wu Fanghai of the changes in the court. Also, give Wu Fanghai a message:
I swear to live and die with my country! "
"Yes." Ouyang Chu exited the hall and left quickly.
Then Liu Xinyu looked at another guard, Guan Zhengqing's son, Guan Youxian.
But before Liu Xinyu could speak, a minister from outside the palace came to report: "Your Royal Highness, there is a battle report from Xingchang County, it is still a great victory!"
Liu Xinyu¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Xuan!¡±
Liu Xinyu was a little excited. She had just taken office as regent, and there was news of a great victory. This was not like: God help me!
The envoy from Xingchang County entered the hall excitedly, almost jumping: "Congratulations, Your Majesty"
¡°It¡¯s His Royal Highness the Regent!¡± Ouyang Qingque ¡®corrected¡¯ him at the right time. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
