Biquge EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Mulan Wu Brother!
Tuoba has been annoying recently.
Bei Yan is now dead in the nephew, Bei Liang has died, and the country is locked in a battle for storage. According to the courtiers' ideas, of course, the long-suffering Bei Yan was destroyed first, and then the soldiers were sent to Bei Liang.
In order not to fight on two fronts, first marry Princess Xingping of Beiliang back to calm down the hearts of Beiliang, and solve her problem before she frees her up to destroy Beiliang.
No matter it is Beiyan or Beiliang, Tuobayu is definitely going to imperial conspiracy. Everyone is mentally prepared for this, but the courtiers hope that he will have a prince in prison after he leaves, so that he will not Take the domestic group of dragons without a head.
‘Lao Tzu ’s son is only four years old, and he ’s a prisoner! ‘Toba ’s heart is irritable,‘ as soon as Li Chu is about to kill his wife, these old men are afraid that Mrs. He will have another son. ’
He originally wanted to drag Mrs. He to give birth naturally, and she conceived in October. Mrs. He knew that she would not die, and she ate well and slept well. She was very healthy and looked after by Queen Mother Dou. He also cleaned up the harem by the last election. Mrs. He There is no morning sickness, people are more plump, and there are no signs of premature birth.
With such a calculation, it is impossible to produce until the end of the year.
However, because Bei Yan temporarily surrendered to the Wei Kingdom, he exchanged a period of tranquility, and once he was comfortable, he would continue to fight for power, so that domestic conflicts began to occur.
The north-west Yantian King Feng Hong abandoned the prince, abandoned the elder, and set up his beloved concubine Murong, and established Murong's son Feng Ren as a prince, laying a curse on Beiyan.
Feng Hong's original wife, Wang, had three sons, the eldest son Feng Chong, the second son Feng Lang, and the third son Feng Yan. Feng Chong was regarded as the crown prince for so many years. He was both long and hesitant. He received the support of many ministers, especially the Han ministers. As a result, Feng Hong still established the younger son Feng Ren as the prince. After Feng Chong's defeat, he was named Changle Gong. Sent to far Liaoxi to guard.
As soon as the eldest brother failed, Wang's other sons would not have a good life. It was difficult to say that Queen Murong and the prince were in the middle of the palace. They were frequently assassinated and conspired, and Wang Hong, Feng Hong's chaff wife, also died.
The two brothers, Feng Lang and Feng Ye, escaped from the northern city of Longyan after having escaped from the dead. They secretly ran to the west of Liaoning to take refuge in the elder brother, crying to the elder brother: "This country is about to die, no one knows, and my father listened to Murong's words. If you want to abandon your elders, my three brothers will suffer calamity in the future. It is better to go to Wei Guo to help get justice, and it is best to save your life. "
At this time, Feng Hong, the king of the Northern Yan Dynasty, was not dead yet. The Murong clan covered the sky with one hand. The prince was still the son of Queen Murong. The three brothers were fragile in their lives, and sorrowed by the death of their mother. They simply moved south and fled to find the sovereign state Wei. The idea of ​​borrowing troops.
When Bei Yan and Bei Liang asked for surrender, Tuoba was cutting Rouran. He knew that if he did not accept the surrender of the two countries, he would probably suffer the enemy. So he accepted the two countries as a dependent country, but the annihilation kept in his heart. Pingliang thought.
When his two sisters grew up, one title was "Wuwei" and the other was "Pingcheng", which meant that Wuwei and Longcheng would be conquered.
Although Tuobayu wanted to destroy Beiliang without excuses, the three princes of Beiyan were frightened by the persecution of Murong's, and a letter of help reached Pingcheng.
All the ministers in the North Korea agreed to attack Beiyan, and Tuobayu was even more interested in Yantian, and immediately accepted the surrender of the three princes of Beiyan.
Bei Yan is now a vassal state of the Wei State, and all of the legislators nominally required the consent of the host country. Tuoba immediately sealed the eldest son Feng Chong as the king of Liaoxi and You and Ping Erzhou, and sealed the ten counties of Liaoxi. Lead the army south.
People say that with the queen mother, there will be a daddy. After receiving the news that three sons intend to surrender Wei, Feng Hong knew that Wei Deng took his son as an excuse to attack the kingdom of Yan, so he sent a ministry to Feng Yu to arrest him. These three sons.
Feng Yu was sent by a pro-queen. The order for the capture became hunting. The three brothers knew that they could not resist the army from Dragon City. They could only avoid the protection of the brothers and horses in western Liaoning. They quickly sent a letter to Pingcheng for support.
When He Mulan was leaving, the three princes of Beiyan had just sent the letter to Pingcheng, and Cui Hao naturally knew that this reform could not be changed because they were about to fight.
Tuobayu was worried about the fact that Beiyan had not sent troops to interfere in the internal affairs. After receiving the letters from the three princes, he immediately ordered him to order the Tuochuan king Tuobati to lead the 50,000 troops from Montenegro to west Liaoning and wait for the opportunity to attack Longcheng.
Since the army of Montenegro was destroyed, it became an army stationed in the north, with very few wars and almost deserted. When Tuobati arrived in Montenegro, he reorganized the whole army, cleared the atmosphere, and retired more than 10,000 old oilers like soldiers. This saved the fighting power of Montenegro to the maximum.
At this time, the 50,000 elites were all out. They were all the former generals who had attacked Rouran. In addition, it is still in the summer. Although the north is cold in summer, it is unharmed. Princes, and captured General Feng Yu.
The Vice Admiral of Tuobati sent 5,000 cavalry to continue to test in Longcheng. Feng Hong was terrified, and immediately sent the messenger to Camp Wei, willing to accept the woman to make peace with King Beiliang.
As a result, Tuobati passed Feng Hong's proposal for peace to Pingcheng.
If King Beiyan said that he wanted to make peace with the tribute and cut the ground, Tuoba may consider it. As soon as he heard that he was going to send his daughter, he would not immediately agree to it.
The first was to send Bei Yan's prince Feng Ren to hostage to Pingcheng, and the second was to repatriate Yu Shimen, a messenger who had been detained in Wei.
Yu Shimen was a ambassador of the Wei Emperor Yuan Dynasty, and was detained by Bei Yan. One buckle was twenty-one years. He would rather die than be unyielding and was regarded by Suo Wu as the Su Wu of the State of Wei. He always hoped that he could be returned to China.
These two conditions are logically not harsh, because Feng Hong has many sons, and even Ju Qu Muyang volunteered to stay as a proton in order for Wei Guo not to fight Beiliang, and the prince sacrificed nothing.
As a result, the letter was sent back to Bei Yan. The king of Bei Yan, Feng Hong, loved Prince Feng Ren, and the queen cried every day to obstruct him. As a result, Feng Hong was willing to die and refused to give up his son. Several loyal ministers persuaded him to be cut off by Feng Hong .
It is said that Sanqi Changshu laughed before the death sentence and said, "After I die, please hang my head at Ximen. I watch Wei Jun enter the city."
Feng Hong wrote to inform Tuobayu that his son was seriously ill and could not go there. While hurriedly returning to Shimen to appease him, he sent Jian Kang to Liu Song for help.
Feng Hong's mission did not conceal Wei's scout at all. Tuoba knew that the king of the North Yan could not surrender obediently, and completely handed over his national vein to the hands of Wei. So after receiving Yu Shimen, Xiayu repulsed Bei Yan's messenger in preparation for the royal expedition.
Cui Hao and others believed that Liu Song was afraid to intervene further because of the plague, and would not bother Feng Hong's help. Liu Yilong was not able to rescue Bei Yan from thousands of miles away. In the farce, such an inference made Tuoba's confidence greatly increased, and he won Beiyan before winter came.
As a result, Chu Jun's problem was again involved.
The Minister of the DPRK and China did not want Tuoba Yu to seek pro-fighting since the territory of Wei became wider and wider. This is different from the previous Wei country where there was only a small piece of land. Now Wei country is a behemoth sitting on the territories of Hu Xia, Xi Qin, Wei, and Rouran.
Although Rou Ran is extinct, Xia Di is still slowly in the process of governance. Before the Western Qin Dynasty, the population of the famine population has decreased sharply. Now it is still in the disaster relief.
This is not the past few months. There is more state affairs in a month than in the previous year.
After the matter of Li Chu was put on the agenda, Central Beijing began to move one after another, and the harem kept flowing, and even Hanchen and Xianbei nobles began to move around.
The prince must be Tuoba Huang, Tuoba has only one son now. What everyone wants to grab is the position of the assistant minister and the prince of East Prince Palace.
Cui Hao started his journey from the East Palace, step by step to the point where the power fell into the wild.
Surprisingly, the Hera family, who should have acted the most, did not move at all, and did not contact the palace for the storage. It was as if Mrs. He was dead and had nothing to do with Hera's family.
Except for the usual greetings, He Lai's family still behaves as usual.
Luanbu was also broken by an envoy from Beiyan for help. Li Bi's mother was Princess Le Lang, the younger sister of Bei Yan Feng Hong. Today, the aunts of the three princes, Tuoba Di, drove Bei Yan's envoys out of Beijing, and avoided everyone from Bei Yan. Help was used to Princess Lelang.
Princess Lelang was originally a well-known princess in the four kingdoms. She was sold to Rouran by her father, and she was married several times. She had no sense of belonging to her own country. After returning to Shun Wei State, he married Mr. Yang, and was even more reluctant to deal with such things.
Maybe it was because of the presence of Rouran's troops in Lubi's hands, or it was because Princess Lelang had certain prestige in Rouran and Beiyan, and the queen mother Dou in the palace shot her. Tan's young daughter, Crescent Moon, took in the palace, and the prince and daughter who accompanied Tuoba's princes were nominally wise about the Crescent Moon's intelligence. In fact, they remained hostages, and warned Rouran not to try to unite with Beiyan.
This hand is in the soft underbelly of Princess Lelang. After being sent to the palace, her daughter does not close her door and does not meet any outsiders. She only wants her daughter to be safe in the palace, and she can often visit the palace.
In the circumstances of such a change of parties, Tuobayu announced that he would not be a royal conscript, but ordered the Tuchuan king Tuobati as the vanguard to directly cut the swallows, and to cut off the north swallow ’s crops before the autumn harvest. For military use.
Then he ordered the general Qiuqi General Tuobayu and other generals to unite 40,000 troops as follow-up troops, and directly attacked Longcheng.
Beiyan is located in the north, which is now in the three provinces of East China. The crops are ripe once a year. If Wei Guo harvests all the grains of Beiyan by using strong soldiers and strong horses, there is no need to fight, as long as it is a year, you can boil Beiyan out of the people. Come over.
Helped by the army, Bei Yan could only crouch in all the cities, and could only watch Tuobati divide his troops and take away the food. Even the strong walls and clear fields could not do it.
Tuobayu suddenly changed his mind and refused to drive away. He even dragged down the matter of Li Chu, naturally because something more important happened.
Gaoche people presented coal and iron refined from the furnace.

Wuchang Hall.
"Di Yefei, can these weapons be mass-produced in large quantities?" Tuoba looked at the triangular arrow in front of him in wonder, although it was only a small arrow, but he could feel the paving from this arrow. Coming breath of death.
With such a shape and toughness, only extremely high purity iron can be cast, and blood grooves are opened on each edge. Once such an arrow is shot into the body, the blood will not return immediately. If it is shot into the bone, the arrow will still be drawn. Will cause secondary damage, maybe even bones will be injured.
In the other tray was the tip of a gun. Wei Guo fought immediately, and the most commonly used were long-arms such as guns, spears, and puppets. These gunpoints were made of steel, and even three layers of leather armor could easily pass through. Liu Song and Bei Liang in the south Use more leather armor, such a gunpoint is simply a big killer.
Di Yefei asked for more than half a month's leave after He Mulan left. He nominally returned home to visit his parents, but actually took the Aqihuo tribe to find a coal mine near Pingcheng.
As He Mulan said, there are so many coals on this land that many places do not need to be surveyed at all. Just asking the local people can point you to a large exposed coal mine.
In Rouran, Gaoche people need to travel long distances to reach Jinshan to the west to find coal and iron ore. In order to keep this secret from being known, Gaoche people always refer to "coal" as "tinder" and use consortia to cover them. The secret of coal and steel making.
The Cypriots all know that Gaoche's blacksmiths are very skilled, but the ignorant Rouran people do not know that Gaoche's skill is not because of the blacksmith's craftsmanship, but that their furnace temperature is higher than other furnaces. Their The stove is also different from ordinary Han people. It can withstand hotter temperatures, so it will cast excellent weapons.
Since digging into coal, Di Yefei has not taken a good rest for a long time to keep this secret.
Most of Gaoche's young and strong men were recruited into the Gaoche Tiger Army. Many of the remaining middle-aged people, old and weak women and children were doing business in Wei Kingdom. The smithy was the shop most Gaoche people opened.
Di Yefei and the clan secretly smelted coal and iron in the blacksmith's shop, and even a few blacksmiths almost died because of inhaling too much coal-making toxic gas. It was so difficult to get these ironware.
However, Di Yefei did not intend to use this to invite Tuobayu. He just said truthfully: "Yes, the reason why we Gaoche people have good weapons is because they are good at using 'tinder'. This kind of tinder was only available in Jinshan before However, after arriving in the Wei Dynasty, I found that the prolific "tinder" near Pingcheng has better purity than Jinshan and is easier to refine. "
"Our furnace itself is resistant to high temperatures. With this 'tinder', the temperature has reached a very high level, and shaping has become easier. That's why this arrow and the spear tip are made."
Di Yefei asked He Mulan how to contribute these things. He Mulan told him that everything must be done in secret, avoiding the eyes and ears of the nations and people who are misbehaving toward the center, and then go to Cui when it is successful Ho.
Cui Hao is the main faction, and naturally knows how to maximize the use of these things.
"Your Majesty, this is God's providence, and it is Heaven that will let us unify the Central Plains!" Cui Hao pointed to another plate of black cakes and said, "This kind of thing is rare in other places, but has been dug out in large quantities near Pingcheng. It was found by the people who were going to use it, wasn't it an arrangement from heaven? "
Tuobayu was naturally excited, grabbed a piece of black cake and looked at it, he couldn't help but ask, "This is ... coal?"
The use of coal in the Han Dynasty was there, but because people were often dead, few people except Alchemists took the risk. Tuobayu's father emperor was good at practicing alchemy in his old age, and Tuobayu also knew this kind of thing.
Di Yefei and a dry Gaoche people showed an admired expression, and nodded in awe: "Your Majesty's good knowledge is indeed coal. We Gaoche people call it the" tinder "in order to keep the secret of coal smelting. Responsible for the exploration of the tinder The tribe that preserves the kind of fire is called Akihuo, and Di Yefei is our generation of Akihuo. "
"Aqi" is a Danish word meaning "in charge". Tuobayu accidentally glanced at Di Yefei's beautiful face. I did not expect that this friend of Mulan had such ability, and looked at him again in his heart. a bit.
"Is it difficult to make coal?"
Tuoba asked: "I want to make a lot of iron. How many manpower and supplies do I need to provide you?"
"It is not difficult to make coal. What is difficult is the need for absolutely closed spaces and open spaces where toxic gases can be emitted. When coal is made, the exhaust gas and black smoke often permeate the sky and the smell is extremely foul, so we all make coal in inaccessible places ... Although coal is produced near Pingcheng, it is really inappropriate to make coal in Pingcheng ... "Di Yefei answered for the people.
"We need the right place."
Tuobayu glanced at Cui Hao: "Did you bring him here, have you found a suitable place?"
Cui Hao nodded with a smile: "His Majesty Ming. There is a pottery kiln two hundred miles north of Pingcheng. It was once the place where the emperor used to burn the pot. Now it has been abandoned and is just used for coal smelting. Recently Beiyan He is ready to move, and His Majesty can let Gao Cha people go out of the city under the name of "training horses", escorting skilled craftsmen and craftsmen who learn to make coal to the kiln. "
"On the other side, the Ministry of Industry and the Supervisor will need to start making special blast furnaces for the ironmaking of Tall People. Fortunately, we will soon be using Beiyan to strengthen our military preparations." Cui Hao smiled, " If the coal is made from a blast furnace, the coal of the Gaoche people should be almost smelted. It is just fortunate to return to the foundry weapon and directly equip the Tiger Army and Yulin Army. "
The Tiger Army and the Yulin Army are two troops directly under Tuobayu. Where does the Tiger Hu need to move, and the Yulin Army only follows Tuoba?
Cui Hao said that the weapon was equipped with the elite of the Tigers and the Yulin Army. Of course, it was a good sign for Tuoba, and Tuoba was really excited.
"Yes! When the Tigers and the Yulin Army change into such weapons, they must be indestructible and invincible! But Bei Yan's affairs will be let go, anyway, I will rest assured that Kumoti is stable on the front line ..." Tuobayu paced in excitement.
"It is necessary to instruct the egret officer to block the vicinity of the kiln, and also to explain how the black smoke generated during coal smelting is going on ..."
He looked up and asked Di Yefei aside.
"How long does it take to make coal?"
"There are few coal impurities near Pingcheng, and there will be a lot of steps. Generally, a hundred people will make thousands of pounds of coal, as fast as ten days, and as slow as half a month."
They mainly sift out powder and lump coal, and then wash out various impurities in it by unique means, and then refine it.
Di Yefei had more eyes than He Mulan, and at this time spoke a little more, in case the schedule requested by the emperor could not be completed.
"How fast?" Tuoba Yu was overjoyed. "Cui Taichang immediately set about repairing the kiln. Let the inner government declare that a batch of silver silk charcoal is needed in the palace. It is said that charcoal is burning in the north of Pingcheng, so the problem of black smoke is also It can be resolved. The matter cannot be known to several other countries. I'm afraid it will cause trouble. "
"Yes."
Cui Hao is also beaming.
"Gao Cha people offer merit of iron and coal, but I can't appreciate it."
Tuobayu groaned for a while.
"Let ’s do this, the Shengdu Douguang Dou is the Lele Hou, and the land is reserved for the city, and the pasture north of the city is also given to the Gaoche people to graze and settle down. Can prevent the poor hearing ... "
Tuobayu issued several imperial orders, because today is a secret offering, no one was present, Cui Hao personally laid paper and ink, and Tuoba covered the imperial seal and Zhu criticism. Can be gifted.
Because of this matter, he was not going to conquer Bei Yan with the imperial imperial concubine, and it was important to raise the military equipment first. Without his support in central Beijing, there would be no way to provide the high-speed trainers with all kinds of conveniences, and the paper would not be able to cover the fire, and the secret of the new railway would be exposed in a while.
Liu Song's skillful craftsmen do not know how many, as long as they know that coal can make the furnace temperature higher than carbon, sooner or later will be copied.
He can't even believe that the skilled artisans of Wei Kingdom can only use high-car people.
He didn't go to Beiyan, and the ministers in Beijing said that they had to celebrate for a few days and nights. At this time, they were in a good mood. It would not be noticeable to give the Gaoche people the grassland in the northern city.
Since Gaoche people moved to Monan and Guanzhong in large numbers, they have no permanent residence and have been living on grazing. However, good water meadows and pastures have already been around by the Xianbei people. They are latecomers and often rub against ranchers in various places. Although they have been better than before, they have not imagined completeness.
Because of ironmaking, now they have a piece of land that they proliferate, just like Xingcheng to Lu Shuihu people and Xiurong to Erzhuqihu. They have a county lookout and fiefdom. This is true. Wei Guoren.
For a time, the old craftsmen who came to offer iron wares were crying with joy, attributed to the endowment of the landlord Xie Tuoba, and Di Yefei had mixed feelings. At this time, he could be described as a step up.
The Emperor Huntsman is an expression of great trust from the emperor. He can bring weapons into the palace and accept the mission at the Emperor. When the hunter is in charge, he only needs to show his waist card when entering the palace.
Hunting Lang is not a trusted son of aristocratic origins, and Cui Hao was the former Emperor Hunting Lang.
With the Gaoche people in the closed fields and pastures, they must be lush with cattle and sheep from now on, and the population will flourish. In addition, the Gaoche people are good at iron smelting technology, and they will definitely have more rewards and income in the future.
Even for this fiefdom, it is profitable to hand over the technology of Gaoche people.
"You will not disappoint Your Majesty's Ron."
Di Yefei knelt down and thanked respectfully.
He knew that as one of the most difficult steps for a high-rider to climb, he had already boarded it.
Since then, obstacles on the door have disappeared before him.
He will not disappoint His Majesty's Ron, let alone Hua Mulan's favor of carrying.
He will climb to the top of this ladder, and then ...
Stand with him again.
