Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 947

[Chapter 947]

“His Royal Highness came back at the right time. The general has just received the information from Guantong. The troops of Jiaozhi, Piaoman, Nanzhang and Funan have invaded the border between Yuezhou and Yunzhou. After the small group of troops fought with the Vermilion Bird Army, they temporarily retreated, but they were still stationed on the opposite side, as if they were planning something.”

Chang Wei was the first to report when everyone took a seat in the palace hall.

After all, in all affairs, military aircraft are the most important.

Zhao Xu nodded.

To pass the news of Jiaozhou and Yunzhou back to Yancheng, it is no longer necessary to ride a horse along the post road to Yancheng as before.

Because the wired telegraph is that multiple routes are laid at the same time.

The cable telegraph stations were, of course, also being constructed at the same time in important state capitals.

The coastal route is naturally laid all the way south along Qizhou, Ningzhou, Zhezhou, and Haicheng.

The route of the central states starts from Yancheng, arrives in Jinzhou, and then goes south from Jinzhou to Sizhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Xiangzhou, and then arrives in Jiaozhou.

At present, the central line has been laid to Shacheng in Xiangzhou.

The western route is from Qinzhou to Yizhou and then to Yunzhou.

However, the western states are remote and the roads are difficult, and this line has the slowest progress.

But that’s all right.

Just send the information from Yunzhou and Jiaozhou to Shacheng.

In this way, the one-month information transfer time from Yunzhou to Yancheng was shortened to five or six days.

In the future, in addition to these three vertical lines, there will be three horizontal lines laid from east to west, so that the entire wired telegraph will form a network pattern on the land of Dasong.

In this way, the information transmission of Dasong is really accessible.

“So, before this king comes back, the all-out war against Da Song has started for five or six days?” Zhao Xu said after pondering for a while.

“Yes.” Chang Wei said with a look of color, “Almost on the same day, Beidi also took action. Beidi troops appeared at Songyangguan in Yizhou, on the north bank of the Jinhe River in Yongzhou, and in Ningjindusi. There were also several battles between the two sides. A small-scale battle.”

“North and South at the same time?” Zhao Xu frowned upon hearing this, “If so, they must be following a unified plan, hmph, the pack of wolves finally couldn’t hold back.”

“Fortunately, Your Highness has the foresight The army has been expanded before then, otherwise the strength of the troops will definitely be stretched to deal with it now.” At this time, Liu Fu couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

At that time, the civil strife in Dasong had just been quelled, and a thousand wastes were waiting to be done. King Yan suddenly wanted to expand his army, so he naturally had objections.

After all, there are too many places where Da Song needs money.

Moreover, he did not think at the time that King Yan’s overseas war would not only cost money, but also bring huge benefits.

But when Qu Sheng went to Luzon to bring back a large amount of rubber, he admitted that he was wrong.

After all, King Yan had more foresight than him, including military expansion.

“Exactly, otherwise it would be really dangerous this time.” Yang Feng echoed.

After a pause, he frowned again, “But even so, you can’t take it lightly. It’s bitterly cold in the north now, and there is already a thin layer of ice in the narrow part of the Jin River. If it continues to be cold, horse racing on ice is not impossible. For the Beidi people at that time, the Jin River was like a flat land.”

“Yang Shangshu means that Beidi may launch a large-scale attack on the Hetao Plain, Songyang Pass, Ning Jindu Division is actually just a blindfold?” Zhao Xu heard Yang Feng’s overtones, asked a sentence.

“With His Highness’s intelligence, I’m afraid he understands better than the old minister.” Yang Feng praised Zhao Xu at the right time, but did not give a clear answer.

Zhao Xu smiled, “Don’t give me a high hat, since you have thought about it, you must have taken corresponding actions, right?” The

ministers all smiled, and Chang Wei said: “Return to Your Highness, the last general has already Asking Chen Hu to lead the cavalry to Yongzhou, and at the same time laying large minefields near several narrow sections of the Jin River, Beidi’s wishful thinking may be wrong.”

Zhao Xu smiled, very satisfied with Chang Wei’s handling.

After hanging out with him for so long, if you can’t even handle this, you should really go home and sell potatoes.

“Since that’s the case, I’m at ease, I just need to wait for Beidi to deliver the head.” Zhao Xu looked to the north.

This time, there is the Western Land Alliance led by Britain in the south, and the country of Ross and Beidi in the north.

They besieged Da Song at the same time with great momentum.

But now Da Song is no longer the weak Da Song before.

In the end, they’ll just run into each other.

After he defeats each of them this time and resolves the siege, he will deal with them one by one.

Just as he was thinking, Wang Ying suddenly came out and said, “Your Highness, although I can’t wear a military uniform to fight the enemy on the front line for His Highness and relieve this distress, but when His Highness went south, the last general finally made this.”

After finishing speaking, Wang Ying spread out his right hand, revealing a yellow-orange object in his palm.

When Chang Wei and other generals heard the words, they immediately cast their gazes over.

During this time, Wang Ying was always cheerful.

They knew that Wang Ying must have made great achievements.

But when they asked, Wang Ying didn’t say anything.

Now that Wang Ying has finally revealed the secret, they are naturally very concerned.

After all, every breakthrough of the Bing Zhansi is related to the great praise of the army.

Zhao Xu was naturally also attracted by that yellow-orange thing.

After looking it over again and again, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his smile became wider, “Hahaha, after waiting for such a long time, the king finally did not wait in vain, the metal bullet was finally born, and since then, Dasong’s guns and artillery have ushered in a revolution Leap forward.”

“Metal bullets!” Chang Wei swallowed.

King Yan once introduced the metal bullet to him.

This is the ultimate solution to the breech-loading gun leak problem.

If the Qin-style rifle can use metal bullets, the power and range will be greatly improved.

The original effective range of 600 meters can be increased to about 1,000 meters.

“That’s right, it’s metal bullets. At present, Bing Zhansi has not only mastered the skills of making metal bullets, but also realized small-scale manufacturing. It is no problem to provide 5,000 rounds of metal bullets every day.” Wang Ying said proudly.

Hearing this, Chang Wei couldn’t help clicking his tongue, and then scolded with a smile, “Well, Wang Ying, you’re really good at hiding things.”

Zhao Xu smiled softly, and the breakthrough in metal bullet technology is naturally something to be happy about.

However, 5,000 rounds of ammunition a day is still a drop in the bucket for war, and it cannot be distributed to soldiers on a large scale.

So he asked, “Is this metal bullet designed according to the caliber of the Qin-style rifle?”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Wang Ying replied, “And I have tested it, and the Qin-style rifle can use this metal bullet.”

“That’s good, it’s natural, and then expand the production capacity.” Zhao Xu ordered.

Thinking of a very important thing, he asked again, “Now that the metal bullet has been released, what happened to that important thing?” After

Zhao Xu’s words fell, the ears of Chang Wei and other generals perked up again.

There is still a secret between Yan Wang and Wang Ying!
