Chapter 628: Chu Wang's Wrath

Lin'an City.
At noon, bursts of beautiful orchestral sounds came from the Chu Palace in Lin'an.
The main hall of the palace was full of guests, with officials and generals from the Chu State sitting on both sides, and two extra eye-catching people, all because they were different from the people of Dayu.
The two are not others, it is Richard and Brazil. They came to Lin'an City after Jinling City and their entourage. They will probably spend a long time in Lin'an City thereafter.
"Two messengers, as long as you can train this king's army like Qi's army, this king will never treat them badly."
After three rounds of drinking, the king of Chu was drunk and dim, and he just wanted to vomit everything in his heart.
Although he had formed an alliance with Xiao Ming, he was really frustrated. If Qingzhou's artillery and muskets were not available for a long time, why should he make such compromises.
Now that most of the southern states and counties are in his hands, his ambitions are getting more and more swollen, and he is already looking forward to the picture of his dominance of Great Chongqing.
Richard was enjoying the delicious food in the palace, and from time to time he translated the words of King Chu to Brazil. This time King Chu reached an agreement with Ocaso, the French governor in charge of East Asian affairs.
The French obtained the exclusive trading rights of the Chu State, and at the same time established a trade port between the Great Yu State and Annan State, while the French sold firearms to the Chu King, and at the same time sent officers to train Chu's army.
And Brazil is the instructor hired by the king of Chu with a lot of money. Every month, the king of Chu needs to pay a salary of one thousand taels of silver to Brazil, and at the same time pay 500 taels of translation fees for Richard.
Richard translated the words of King Chu, and Brazil frowned and said: "Prince King Chu, your current firearms are too bad. You can't beat King Qi with matchlock guns and this type of artillery with a range of only 500 meters. "
"The messenger is joking. Xiao Ming is also using these firearms. It's just that the king's army training is not as good as his." King Chu didn't realize anything.
Brazil frowned. He said, "King Chu, don't you understand? You are probably caught by this King Qi. We know from the Dutch population that King Qi's army is equipped with flintlocks. Their artillery has a range of three or four miles, and they also have field guns. The gap between your weapons is not a little bit."
"Flintlock? Field gun? What are these things?" King Chu asked suspiciously.
Brazil showed a look of contempt. For him, the natives of this place are no different from America and Africa.
Although they have a large population, their rulers are still very ignorant. They do not understand science and have no faith, but they brutally oppress their people.
But they are happy to see such a ruler, because it helps them to draw benefits from them.
"This flintlock is a more powerful firearm than a matchlock. It not only has a long range, but also has a fast filling speed. It is also more suitable for rainy operations. The field gun is a very convenient artillery. The musketeers march forward and throw themselves into the battlefield at any time." Brazil said briefly, "This time I came to your country and brought firearms with me to defend myself. This is a flintlock."
After all, Brazil stood up and presented a short-barreled flintlock to the king of Chu.
King Chu was completely awake at this time. He picked up the flintlock and took a look, and suddenly understood where the difference was. Then his surprise turned into bizarre anger.
"Damn it! Xiao Ming has been deceiving this king!" Chu Wang roared.
The officials and generals in the main hall also showed a look of irritation when they heard the words, and they were whispering one by one, obviously cursing Xiao Ming.
Li Chuyuan, the first son of the Chu king, and the third princes sat on the left and right sides of the Chu king’s hands. At this moment, Li Chuyuan stirred up the flames and said: "Father, this Xiao Ming is too vicious. Blame it on Xiao Mingtou Mountain, if it weren't for the artillery he sold us, how could he lose!"
The fiasco of the last time made Li Chuyuan face scandal, and now he finally found an excuse. Although he verbally scolded Xiao Ming, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
King Chu looked at Li Chuyuan and said slowly, "Father is wrong to blame you."
"The father is not afraid of being wrong and the ministers are not afraid, and the children should be wronged, but I hope that the father will stop trusting the royal people. This Xiao Ming is so cunning, and the others are probably the same." Li Chuyuan looked at the third prince and said.
After the king of Zhao supported the thirteen princes, they supported the three princes as the king.
It's just the fact that the third prince is just a puppet, but even so, Li Chuyuan is still wary of the third prince.
In his heart, this Chu country belongs to him, how could it be his turn to get involved.
Li Chuyuan said that Sang Shuhuai's words reached the ears of the third prince. The third prince only regarded it as inaudible. He was still eating vegetables and drinking wine, as if what Li Chuyuan said had nothing to do with him.
When everyone was scolding Xiao Ming because of the firearms, a postman came to the door and said, "His Royal Highness, 800 miles from Qingzhou is urgent."
"Qingzhou!" The king of Chu became more and more angry when he heard this. He said to the Manchu civil and military: "Huh, this king wants to see what Xiao Ming is playing and present it!"
Hearing the words, the postman forwarded the letter from Qingzhou to King Chu.
King Chu took the letter and tore it open to read it. He just glanced at it and threw it on the ground, his face turned from red to purple.
Li Chuyuan looked at King Chu carefully. He picked up the letter on the ground and glanced at it. He was surprised, "Xiao Ming is going to ascend the throne!"
The voice came, and the three princes who had pretended nothing happened to freeze, and then another person ate quietly.
It’s just that there is an unnoticeable smile at the corner of his mouth~EbookFREE.me~ He is no longer wary of Xiao Ming, he no longer hates Xiao Ming, let alone the suspicion and jealousy between the princes, living in Lin'an After a year, the cruel reality made him understand that he was just a dog of King Chu.
What kind of throne, what kind of country is nothing but a spectacle to him, he only complained that he was blinded by the throne and ended up like this.
From the time he left Chang'an, he knew that Xiao Wenxuan would pass the throne to Xiao Ming, and now that Xiao Ming has taken the throne, he feels relieved and relaxed.
"Xiao Ming even ordered us to attend the enthronement ceremony. It's a joke!" Li Chuyuan said angrily: "Father, it is better to learn from him than to learn from him. Xiao Ming bombards Jinling City as a gift to him."
King Chu panted violently. Xiao Ming ascended to the throne meant that his ambition lies in the world. This denied the three princes he supported. Although Li Chuyuan's statement made him a little impulsive, he understood that it was not with Xiao Ming. When I tear my face.
Although Xiao Ming didn't give him the best firearm, it was enough to deal with other vassals.
