Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 333

[Chapter 333 Large Amount of Military Supplies]

“Hahaha…” In the

imperial garden, Zhao Heng laughed loudly, and Ma Yuan stood behind him.

After the next court, he called Ma Yuan over.

I remembered Dou Wei’s expression when he learned that Ma Han was not dead.

He couldn’t help feeling very happy.

Ma Yuan showed a rare clear smile in these months.

Ever since he learned of the death of his elder brother and nephew, he has been in a daze these days.

Knowing that Mahan is not dead now is undoubtedly a huge surprise for him.

Most importantly, with Ma Han alive, the position of Patriarch of the Ma family has returned to orthodoxy.

After the horse rushed to Xiancheng, it is said that he could not do without wine and women every day.

How can such a person be the head of the Ma family.

There is also that Ma Jin, who grew up together since childhood, and he knows very well that Ma Jin is a violent and greedy person.

With Ma Chong and Ma Jin, this is tantamount to leading the Ma family to a dead end.

After all, the Ma family is different from other powerful families, and what they need to face is Xiliang.

If they act recklessly, under the iron heel of the foreign race, the Ma family will perish.

“The king of Yan hid this news for two months, and he didn’t release the news until Jinzhou was recovered. This way, big troubles were avoided.” Ma Yuan sighed.

Zhao Heng nodded.

This ninth son really impresses him now.

Because of his presence in the contest between the royal family and the powerful family, he has the confidence.

Today’s court, if it was in the past, he would not attack Dou Wei.

Because he knew he would only bring shame on himself.

Including the restoration of the crown prince, he was not so tough before, dismissing so many officials.

Although in the end he compromised, it was also a counterattack against the powerful clan.

Wait until his imperial army is equipped with the firearms provided by King Yan, and their military strength surpasses that of the powerful clan.

He will further suppress the powerful family headed by Dou Wei and slowly take back the power.

Wait until the day when the royal power overwhelms the powerful family again.

He would not have to worry about sleeping with a beautiful woman.

There is no need to take into account Empress Xie and the Xie family behind her, but she can boldly welcome Xiao Shishi into the harem.

This should be the supreme right that an emperor should have.

But to achieve all this, he must continue to support King Yan at the moment.

So he said: “The King of Yan still cares about the overall situation.”

Flicking his sleeves, Zhao Heng sat down on the white jade stool, “This time you go to Yancheng, bring some words for me, just say that I am very pleased, and let him Immediately remember Fanping’s royal duties.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Ma Yuan said respectfully.

Thinking of something, he continued: “Also, tell King Yan that I want to give him a military supply list, let him prepare and provide firearms and armor to the imperial army in time, and King Chun is in charge of this matter.”

Ma Yuan heard the words I can’t help but click my tongue.

In my heart, I am very envious of King Yan. In these few battles, King Yan has gained a reputation for his firearms and armor.

At present, not only the powerful clans have given him a large number of orders, but now even the military supplies of the Imperial Army have to fall into the hands of King Yan.

This means that silver will continue to flow into the four counties.

Ma Yuan answered yes again.

Then the monarch and his ministers discussed the affairs of Jinzhou.

After all, his real duty this time is to serve as Jinzhou pastor.

…

Dou Mansion.

As soon as Dou Wei stepped into the gate, someone called Dou Kuang.

“Send someone to Ma’s house immediately, and tell Ma Chong and Ma Jin the news that Ma Han is still alive.” Dou Wei said solemnly.

“Ma Han is not dead?” Dou Kuang was taken aback.

Dou Wei nodded, “The book that King Yan just delivered.”

Dou Kuang frowned. When the battle in Jinzhou was about to end, the Ma family’s army was suddenly attacked by Xiliang’s army.

Later, Ma Jin caught a few Xiliang scouts who fled.

These scouts mentioned that their deputy leader decided to attack the Ma family’s army only after they seized a letter from King Yan to the Ma family.

Ma Jin sent the news, and they guessed that King Yan had noticed something tricky between the Ma family and Xiliang.

Otherwise, the distance meter will not be taken.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle in Jinzhou was over, King Yan would attack.

“Father, will King Yan suspect our Dou family?” Dou Kuang asked.

“Naturally, Ma Chong is on good terms with you. Now who doesn’t doubt our Dou family, but there is no evidence, so what if they doubt?” Dou Wei snorted softly.

“But if Ma Han returns to Ma’s house and captures Ma Chong and Ma Jin, wouldn’t it be…” Dou Kuang didn’t dare to continue.

“That’s why I want you to send a dead man to inform Ma Chong and Ma Jin.” Dou Wei sighed, “Since King Yan handed over the booklet, he must have an idea in his mind. This time, the layout of our Dou family is probably going to be King Yan’s.” The wedding dress, so it’s all right if Ma Han can’t get back the position of the Patriarch of the Ma family, if he gets it back, let them shut up forever.”

Dou Kuang’s heart was shocked, “Yes, father, the child understands, but Ma Han is alone , How can it be so easy to go back to Ma’s house.”

“Stupid, you are so far behind the third prince, how could King Yan let him go back alone.” Dou Wei was suddenly impatient.

In court, he was just being stubborn, but he understood that this time he was helpless.

Dou Kuang’s face darkened, and he whispered, “It’s just that father let King Yan mess around like this?”

“It’s not for the cannons. The Dou family can’t offend the King of Yan too much at the moment. In this way, while sending people to Qinzhou, you can go to Yanzhou after cleaning up and buy 300 cannons from the King of Yan.”

Dou Kuang also vented completely when he heard the words Qi, at this point their Dou family was indeed captured by King Yan.

In response, he turned and left.

…

Yancheng.

After Zhao Xu finished his lecture at the school in the morning, he went to Nanfang District of Chengdefang.

In the battle of Jinzhou this time, the flintlock gun performed very well, and wiped out a large number of cavalry and infantry in Xiliang.

So when the war ended, he planned to further increase the equipment rate of flintlock guns in the royal family’s army.

“Your Highness, the workshop has not been idle for more than two months, and now there are more than 30,000 flintlock guns ready-made in the warehouse.” Wang Ying said.

Zhao Xu nodded, “But this time we have to deliver the bayonet together.”

The lack of a bayonet for the flintlock caused a lot of trouble in this battle.

In close combat, the fusiliers lacked in hand-to-hand combat ability.

Now, he has to face up to this problem.

Not only should the bayonet be loaded on the flintlock, but also the bayonet technique should be taught to the soldiers for daily training.

In this way, the spearmen and crossbowmen in the royal army can be cancelled.

After all, the fusiliers already have the functions of two arms.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Wang Ying was a little ashamed.

He learned from the general that many soldiers had been sacrificed this time.

If it was possible to equip the soldiers with bayonets at that time.

Perhaps some casualties can be reduced.

“I am planning to equip 100,000 flintlock guns in the army, and you soldiers and commanders can’t be idle.” Zhao Xu continued.

Now his royal army has expanded to 150,000 people.

He re-planned the number of various arms.

Among them were 100,000 infantry armed with flintlocks.

Thirty thousand light cavalry and ten thousand heavy cavalry.

There are still 10,000 people who are planning to form a special army, the car battalion.

After all, in this battle, he felt that his army was still a little weak when facing the cavalry.

This is only Xiliang, if it is Beidi, he really doesn’t know how to fight.
