Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 38

[Chapter 38]

“What!”

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei turned pale with shock.

When the two came to the gate of the palace, they saw a blood-stained soldier hanging upside down from his horse.

The body is on the ground, and the feet are still stuck in the saddle.

“Go get the doctor quickly.” Chang Wei immediately helped the soldier down.

A sharp arrow pierced through the soldier’s left shoulder. The shaft of the arrow was broken, but the arrow was still inside.

The soldier’s breath was already weak, and knowing that the one in front of him was King Yan, he gasped and said, “There are more than two hundred Beidi scouts…a village in Wu’an County was wiped out by them, ahem…” At

this point, The soldier coughed violently.

“It turned out to be a scout, the king knows, you can rest now.” Zhao Xu said to the soldiers, and ordered the soldiers to be carried into the palace for resettlement, the servant was frightened into talking nonsense.

The movement here also attracted Liu Fu.

He turned pale when he learned that Beidi scouts had entered Yan County.

Chang Wei sneered, “Liu Wang Fu, aren’t you quite courageous? How could you be so scared?”

Liu Fu’s face was solemn, and he didn’t care about Chang Wei’s teasing at all.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, “You are not natives of Yan County, you don’t know the horror of Beidi cavalry, Beidi people live on horseback from birth, never leave their bows and arrows, it can be said that horses and bows are part of their body Swallowing his saliva, he continued: ”

After capturing Ning Jindusi ten years ago, Beidi obtained a large number of great master craftsmen from the capital. The armor and weapons are no longer inferior to Dalong. The state has changed hands a long time ago.”

Chang Wei also heard that Beidi people were difficult to fight in the capital.

But his spirit was extremely high and he refused to be convinced.

It’s just that he is not a reckless person, “Your Highness, Beidi’s scouts entered Yan County this time to collect information for the autumn harvest, so I will lead the troops to drive them away, lest they kill the people of my Yan County.

” For more than one hundred and eighty miles, Beidi cavalry can cross in two or three days.

If they are allowed to reach the vicinity of Yancheng, they will become a joke.

Zhao Xu nodded.

His promise to the people is still in his ears, and it is impossible to let these Beidi scouts run rampant in Yan County.

There is no morality of war in this barbaric era.

Beidi people slaughter Dasong people like cattle and sheep, they will not have sympathy.

“Remember, don’t force it, try to outsmart it.” Zhao Xu said.

There were no cavalry in his pro-army yet.

Only more than 200 cavalry were collected from the private soldiers of the Huang and Du families.

There is no need to talk about the level of these cavalry.

He was afraid that Chang Wei would be so hot-blooded that he would ignore everything.

“The general will understand.” Chang Wei clasped his fists heavily, turned and left.

Liu Fu sighed, “The tiger came again before the wolves were killed. It’s a troubled time. I don’t know how many people will die at the hands of Beidi scouts this time.”

Zhao Xu frowned.

In contemporary history, the war between the Central Plains dynasty and foreign races was very cruel.

Often, the process of foreign races entering the Central Plains will be accompanied by a large number of massacres.

During this period, the number of common people in the Central Plains will even decrease by seven or eight.

During the period of the Five Husbands, the people in the Central Plains almost perished.

In the foreign dynasty, the fate of the people in the Central Plains was often very miserable.

They are like the low-caste people in the contemporary Ah San Kingdom, they have a low status, and they serve the aliens who rank themselves as the upper class.

Thinking of these, a chill moved down from Zhao Xu’s brain along the spinal cord.

Now.

Dasong is facing the threat of encroachment by foreign races such as Beidi, Xiliang, Tubo, and Jiaozhi.

And a small amount of information also revealed that in farther places, Western powers similar to those of the contemporary era are rampaging across the sea, and perhaps the devil’s claws have already touched the East.

“Break through the clouds, unrestrained and unrestrained.” Zhao Xu read softly.

After a chill, a wave of anger rose from his heart again.

What about aliens?

So what if Da Song is weak?

What about the Dasong Hao Family?

Since he came here, how could he let them bully him!   Watching Chang Wei leave, Zhao Xu said to Liu Fu: “Have you found

the person in charge of the Military Division?” Yes

.”

“Let’s go to the Military Division.”

In ancient times, unscrupulous scholars were basically people who did not pursue official careers, but did some messy things.

Naturally, he asked Liu Fu to find such a person for his own purpose.

From now on, Bingzhangsi will be the military base of Yan County.

He doesn’t need a person who is full of insults and tricks.

Under Xu Lie’s protection, the two rode to Dongcheng.

By a river, Liu Fu stopped, “Your Highness, this is it.”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

This river is called Liuzhang River, running through the entire Yancheng from east to west.

There is another river in the north of Yan County, which is the Jinlin River.

In ancient times, cities were often built near water, and Yancheng was no exception.

“Not bad, very suitable.” Zhao Xu was very satisfied.

In ancient times, it was all based on manpower, animal power and water power.

The Bing Zhansi was built next to the river, and it would be much more convenient to use some hydraulic equipment to increase productivity.

A group of people arrived at the gate of the Military Division.

The guards at the gate checked the documents before letting them go.

The guards here have all been replaced by soldiers from the royal family’s army, and soldiers will come to rotate every month.

“The king should see His Highness.” A middle-aged official in a blue official robe rushed out to greet him.

Dasong officials have different ranks, and the colors of official robes are also different.

The most luxurious colors are vermilion, purple, lower red, crimson, blue and so on.

Cyan is basically a low-level official.

Liu Fu shook his head.

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t find a suitable one, he really didn’t want Wang Ying to be the head of the military department.

In his opinion, Wang Ying is not only a freak, but also sloppy, so it is really difficult to stand on the stage.

He also hesitated for a long time before deciding to let him go.

“Your Highness, this Wang Ying is not good at anything else, but he likes to collect folk arts and crafts, and there is a book for this.” Liu Fu stretched out his hand to Wang Ying.

Wang Ying was stunned for a moment, remembered something, and took out a book from his pocket.

Liu Fu took it and presented it to Zhao Xu.

“Silkworm raising, sowing, weaving…” Zhao Xu flipped through the pages, and when he saw the content clearly, he showed a surprised expression.

What Wang Ying records is a tribute to all kinds of current technologies.

For example, the technology of raising silkworms, the current style of looms, and even the technology of grinding beads.

“It’s rare, it’s rare.” Zhao Xu looked more and more delighted, and couldn’t help asking, “How did you know this?”

Wang Ying replied honestly, “These are all searched by the officials when they traveled all over the country. Come down for future reference.”

“Okay, okay, okay.” Zhao Xu said three words in succession.

From this booklet, he can basically understand Dasong’s current technical situation.

After reading it roughly, he felt that the technical level of Dasong society was basically around the end of Song Dynasty.

Gunpowder has been used in warfare, but not professionally.

Other techniques also have many areas for improvement.

“There is a lot to do, there is a lot to do.” Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, the knowledge he brought from the contemporary era still has a great advantage.
