Chapter 538: Include Lijingmen

"firearm!"
Wang Wei spit out these two words gently.
Thinking of this, his mood was a little gloomy. He said: "This king asked the craftsman to imitate the matchlock, but there has been no progress so far, which is really a headache."
Mi Wenyi said, "His Royal Highness, don’t worry. Although these guns and artillery are powerful, they are definitely not invincible. Otherwise, why would Xiao Ming guard the Shanhaiguan pass? It can be seen that even with firearms, Xiao Ming still fears the barbarian cavalry. What's more, there are few people in the Qi land and many in the Wei land. The Qi land is poor and the Wei land is rich. As long as they can hold Pengzhou, the Qi king’s army will have to retreat within a few months.
Xiao Qi frowned. What Mi Wenyi said seemed to be reasonable, but the Battle of Cangzhou and the Battle of Jizhou proved the fierceness of the Qingzhou army. Although Wei Di was rich in land and many people, the people had always lived in stability. In his life, Wei Di’s army has not experienced a major battle in seven or eight years. If the two sides fight, the outcome is unknown.
After hesitating, he said: "Uncle Emperor, my nephew thought that we should continue to send envoys and Dutch people to the Japanese country, and even went south to find artillery and gun forging methods. Now other kings have seen the benefits of firearms and they have seen the power of firearms. , This matter must not be taken lightly."
"What Mi Changshi and Xian Nephew said is reasonable. In this case, Mi Changshi is responsible for Pengzhou's defenses, and Xian Nephew is responsible for this firearm forging method?"
Mi Wenyi and Xiao Qi looked at each other and said at the same time: "Yes, Your Highness."
King Wei nodded in satisfaction. He was thinking about going to the city with the two for a while, when suddenly a guard hurried out of the main hall.
"His Royal Highness, Chu Di's eyeliner is here to report that it is said that King Chu's army has captured Quanzhou and other royal homelands." The guard said.
"Quanzhou!" King Wei was taken aback. "It's just a long time since King Wei's title has doubled. If this continues, wouldn't it be that the southern rivers and mountains will be occupied by King Chu."
"It's not surprising that the king of Chu has worked so hard to manage the south over the years, and he has already bought many officials from the surrounding states and counties. If they fell apart today, these officials immediately defected to the king of Chu." Xiao Qi analyzed.
Wang Wei felt a little bit sour in his heart, "Hmph, this King of Chu is really tricky, and it occupies a good place, but it is a pity that King Yan and King Qi around this King are not good-looking."
I have to say that the current king of Chu is the most harmonious, the right time and place. Although the two do not have a good impression of the king, they have to admit this.
Mi Wenyi sighed and said, "The most important thing is that King Chu's navy runs across the river. This is a natural moat, and no one can help him."
Wang Wei snorted when he heard the words, and he said: "This matter is very disappointing and not to mention it. The king of Chu is rich, and this king is not bad for him. It is not certain who is in this world."
Mi Wenyi nodded, he suddenly remembered something and said: "His Royal Highness, the next official remembered something. This king of Qi’s battleship must stop at Tongzhou every time its supplies go south. This can’t be said that we can handle King Qi. After all, if there is no Tongzhou It’s a little difficult for their warship to go south."
King Wei’s eyes lit up, he stroked his beard lightly, and said triumphantly:
Mi Changshi really reminded this king to wake up, huh, if that’s the case, let’s do an article with Tongzhou. If Xiao Ming dared to make an idea to Pengzhou, don't blame this king for forbidding his warships to dock for supplies.
"More than that, Your Highness, I can't say that we can still threaten King Qi to give us some artillery and muskets." Mi Wenyi said.
The more Wang Wei thought about it, the more he felt that Mi Wenyi's words made sense. He said, "Well, in that case, this king will send someone to Qingzhou to talk about it."
After all, Wang Wei laughed openly.
...
In Qingzhou, Xiao Ming went directly to the government office after leaving Qingzhou Daying. As soon as his front foot arrived, Li San followed his back foot.
"Is there any important information?" Xiao Ming couldn't help asking Li San hurriedly.
At present, Xiao Ming also has a smear on matters outside Qingzhou, and can only rely on Li San and Wang Xuan to collect information to analyze the current situation.
Li San grinned and said: "His Royal Highness, Yang Zhen honestly explained Lijingmen's eyeliner and secret signal. The lower officials found many Lijingmen people in Qingzhou."
"I have confessed so soon, it seems that Yang Zhen is just a greedy person who fears death." Xiao Ming said with disdain.
"His Royal Highness's words are true. The next official said about the top ten tortures. Before the torture device was put on, he was scared to pee his pants, hehe." Li San seemed very proud.
"Talk about the important point." Xiao Ming glared at him, and the boy's glib and slippery tongue problem remained unchanged.
Li Sansheng laughed and said, "These people from Lijingmen were all arrested by the lower officials. They learned that his Royal Highness had the will in his hands. Under Yang Zhen's persuasion, these people were willing to obey the orders of the lower officials, and they were all dismissed. Someone has been sent to collect personnel from other parts of Lijingmen."
After a pause, Li San continued: "His Royal Highness, this Lijingmen is really all-pervasive, spreading all over the country of Great Yu. Yang Zhen explained that there are Lijingmen's meticulous works by every vassal king. In this way, we can Know the situation of other vassals at any time."
"Other than that, Yang Zhen didn't provide any valuable information?" Xiao Ming was most concerned about this.
Li San said: "Yes, Yang Zhen said that the conditions for the barbarians to agree to King Zhao to send troops are to obtain half of the spoils, and King Liang also favored the barbarians in exchange for the support of the barbarians.
"King Liang? Huh, he is another person who recognizes a thief as his father." Xiao Ming said angrily. He now understands more why the Ming Dynasty would die, internal and external troubles, and so many traitors leading the way, can it survive?
But thinking of the current situation ~EbookFREE.me~ he felt that the situation at this time was even more difficult.
"Yang Zhen also said that the barbarians promised to ignore the contradiction between the two. If there is a conflict between King Zhao and King Liang, the soldiers of the barbarians will not participate, but if they use their troops, the barbarians promised to give their full support."
Xiao Ming frowned. Originally, he still wanted to play proxy war. He didn't expect this barbaric clan to play in advance. He knew very well the barbarian's idea, and undoubtedly wanted to use King Zhao and King Liang to consume his forces. Waiting for an opportunity behind him.
"However, Your Highness, King Zhao seems to be more interested in King Shu, while King Liang is quite critical of King Zhao occupying Chang'an." Li San said again.
"Wang Zhao is not stupid. The land of Shu is known as the land of abundance, and it is the important grain-producing land of the Great Yu Kingdom. If the land of Shu is taken, he will not worry about food. Back then, King Qin Yingzheng also took Guanzhong first and then Bashu Then, the six countries were unified. It seems that King Zhao has a posture of learning from the first emperor."
Li San said, "No, this King Zhao has always claimed to be the Little Qin Emperor."
With a sneer, Xiao Ming put aside the topic and asked: "If King Zhao had this mindset, it would have given him time to conquer Wei Di. Let me talk about the situation in Pengzhou."
