Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 636

[Chapter 636 Make a decision]

The ice skates under the eaves of the Bingzhangsi melted under the sunlight, and the icy water fell, dripping the land out of small nests.

As for pulling the ignition tube, Zhao Xu carefully explained the principle to Wang Ying.

“I see.” Wang Ying suddenly realized.

If it’s just these four kinds of materials, he only knows what it is, but he doesn’t know why.

When Yan Wang said this, he figured out why these things together could ignite the gunpowder in the grenade.

Sighing lightly, Wang Ying said, “I never thought there would be such a sophisticated structure inside this unremarkable grenade.”

Zhao Xu smiled, “This is just the beginning, and weapons will only become more and more sophisticated in the future. Get ready.”

Wang Ying nodded, he understood what King Yan meant.

I need to keep pace with the times like Wang Chong and the others, otherwise I will be eliminated as the head of the war department.

“I understand that every day when I go home, I will ask Wang Chong for knowledge that I don’t understand.”

“Yes, this kind of spirit of not being ashamed to ask is needed.” Zhao Xu said. After a

pause, he asked again: “Now you Confident about making this wooden handle grenade independently? ”

Wang Ying nodded, “If this thing can’t be made, the official robe of the lower official will be useless.” ”

“Since that’s the case, we will start to arrange production from now on. It won’t be long before the royal family’s troops will use it.” “Zhao Xu exhorted.

After explaining this matter, he returned to the palace.

Dongpu’s maritime alliance was cracked by him, and yellow gunpowder and grenades were being produced at full speed.

Next, what he needs to face is the second Lucheng alliance. In

his view, there is no doubt that this meeting will reach a consensus on the crusade against Yanzhou.

They must be clear that long-term confrontation is even more unfavorable to them.

Therefore, three to six months after the end of the alliance, the war against Yanzhou will break out.

However, this time is not completely under their control.

Once the stocks of yellow powder and wooden-handled grenades are sufficient, the initiative is completely in his hands.

Sure enough, just as he guessed, three days later, Dongying Beidi and the powerful clans held an alliance in Lucheng as scheduled.

On the fifth day, Qi State sent envoys to Yancheng for the second time.

This time it was still repeating the same old tune, the envoy of the State of Qi officially told him that Dongying, Beidi and the seven families had formed an alliance.

If you do not choose to surrender, you will face a war against the Yan Alliance.

Zhao Xu naturally dismissed this, and just said “Fuck off”.

“It’s really a fox pretending to be a tiger. You think it can scare us in Yanzhou? It’s ridiculous.”

Liu Fu sneered contemptuously when the envoys of Qi State left in desperation in the meeting hall.

Chang Wei is also there.

He returned to Yancheng after the second meeting of the Lucheng League, because the palace must make corresponding arrangements for the results of this meeting.

Following Liu Fu’s words, he said: “As His Highness said, now the time is up to us. With the help of the Jinhe Heavenly Moat, none of them will think of making trouble in Yanzhou. During this period, they just need to wait for the yellow gunpowder and the wooden-handled grenade. ”

He learned about this firearm as soon as he arrived in Yanzhou, and for this reason, he wished he could hug King Yan and kiss him a few times.

Before, when he thought of the street fighting during the siege to the south, he scratched his head.

With this firearm, it will be much easier to conquer cities in the future.

And he believes that this grenade is by no means just used for street fighting.

In his mind, there are already several ways to use this wooden handle grenade.

When he returned to the barracks, he let the soldiers practice throwing fake wooden handle grenades.

Therefore, the bullshit attacking the Yan Alliance is not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Compared with Liu Fu, Chang Wei and other senior officials and generals of the palace, the court ministers who came from Jinling were all frowning.

Although they used to be the main battle faction in the imperial court, this alliance to attack Yan really scared them a lot.

There is only one Beidi in this alliance, which was the nightmare of Dasong back then.

Now it also includes the seven families, and an Dongying across the sea from Dasong.

Such a huge force united to attack Yanzhou, how could they not feel anxious.

But King Yan and his old subordinates seemed to be very relaxed about this matter, which made it difficult for them to express their negative suggestions.

Yang Feng looked at Chang Wei and other generals, and then at his former subordinates.

Immediately, he shook his head helplessly.

The longer he lived in Yancheng, the more he found that the officials and generals trained by King Yan had a spirit different from that of court officials.

Especially when faced with difficulties, the difference between this and the old court officials became more and more obvious.

The king of Yan and his subordinates are often fearless and high-spirited, while the court ministers are submissive and hesitant.

This completely different situation gave him a sudden awakening.

Even if Yanzhou is handed over to the ministers of the court, I am afraid that it will eventually become the same as the previous Dasong court.

Therefore, at this moment, he was extremely supportive of King Yan, and he also supported King Yan to exclude Emperor Zhao Heng from the core of government affairs.

Let Zhao Heng eat, drink and have fun, and let officials from Jinling take up some idle positions.

After pondering for a while, he said: “The old minister supports His Highness, if His Highness can use the old minister, the old minister will go through fire and water, and will not hesitate to do so.”

Zhao Xu looked at Yang Feng and smiled.

The old court officials who came from Jinling were still centered on Yang Feng and Mi Yan.

Yang Feng’s statement is basically to suppress different voices.

Although Zhao Xu didn’t care about the voices of these Jinling veterans at all.

However, he felt that it was still necessary to maintain the harmony of the court.

During this period of time, many officials, merchants, and royal families fled from the south one after another. Adding up, these people reached 80,000.

This number is not much to Zhao Xu, after all, Jinling used to be a prosperous city with a population of nearly 1.5 million.

These people came with wealth, and now they have become the main consumers of Yancheng.

He also counted on these people to prosper Yanzhou’s business.

Therefore, on the surface, we have to give them some face.

With the support of Yang Feng, there is no objection to the strategy of the Yan Yan Alliance.

At this time, a minister suddenly came out: “Your Highness, I have something to report.”

Zhao Xu looked over and saw that this was an old minister from Jinling, a member of the royal family, who is currently serving as the head of the clan, and his name is Zhao

Fanzhi What, he said: “What’s the matter?”

“Your Highness, since the Jinling Rebellion, the royal clan members have stopped their monthly salary. Now many clan members and children are living in poverty. I hope that the monthly salary and yearly salary can be restored by His Highness’s grace. Living on the street, this loses the face of the royal family.”

When Zhao Fan said this, Liu Fu’s face changed slightly.

Throughout the dynasties, the imperial family has been supported by the imperial court, but this has also become a heavy financial burden for each imperial court.

In fact, when these royal families first arrived in Yanzhou, someone proposed it, but the King of Yan kept suppressing it and refused to agree.

Now, Zhao Fan, the patriarch, raised this question in front of King Yan.

Proof that the royal family is becoming more and more urgent on the matter.
