The darkness of the night gradually enveloped the palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two were talking about Princess Yong, and Qian Dafu brought dinner over.

Cui Xue'er and the three of them knew that it was inconvenient at this time, so they each went to their own bedroom, Aster and Pothos have always been good, and this dormitory is also together, and the two and Cui Xueer separated halfway.

Walking on the brightly lit path, the palace maid beside Cui Xue'er suddenly said faintly: "Niangniang, it is said that Princess Yong came this time to test the intention of cutting the domain, after the victory of Pingzhou City, the ministers suddenly became bolder, and many officials asked Fei Ge Lao and Pang Shoufu for help, claiming that for the unification of the Great Yu Kingdom, they would carry out the policy of cutting the domain. ”

Cui Xue'er was a little faintly worried just now, and the maid who had served her since she was a child added a layer of sadness, and she snorted softly, "These ministers are just people who see the wind and steer the rudder, cross the river and tear down the bridge, and they are so noisy just to show loyalty to the emperor." ”

After a pause, she sighed, "But judging from the emperor's performance, it seems that there is indeed an intention to cut the domain." ”

"Then how is this good, the emperor will not deal with King Huainan like he did with King Zhao and others." The palace maid said urgently.

Cui Xue'er frowned lightly, "My father followed the emperor to quell the rebellion in the north, this is a great achievement, I think the emperor will definitely not be heavy-handed next time, but at least it is also to remove the military power, but whether my father and brother can accept me is not completely sure, and my brother has also dragged the palace people to inquire about this matter today, and he must be extremely worried about this matter." ”

With that, the two stopped talking, but walked towards their dormitory.

The next day, Xiao Ming got up early, he didn't go to the Queen Mother yesterday too late, today he didn't delay anymore and went directly to the Queen Mother.

He understood that some ministers now also wanted to use the matter of cutting the feudal domain to bring glory to themselves, but this seemed to him to be causing trouble for him.

Although the King of Huainan and the King of Yong are vulnerable, if they really want to launch a ruthless attack, they will cause damage to the industry and commerce of the Great Chongqing Kingdom again, which is not worth it.

When he arrived at the Ciren Palace, Xiao Ming asked the Queen Mother for peace and asked about it.

Concubine Zhen smiled mildly when she heard this: "King Yong is a little worried, this is all to blame on these ministers, one by one, they are actually causing chaos." ”

"What the Queen Mother said is very true, I will reprimand them today, lest they continue to cause trouble for me." Xiao Ming said.

Although it was his original intention to cut the domain, it was not the time for him to endure it, and Concubine Zhen obviously meant this in her words.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Xiao Ming had a plan in his heart, and he and Qian Dafu went to the Zhengda Guangming Hall on time.

At the beginning of this court meeting, Pang Yukun said: "Your Majesty, King Yong sent an excerpt to ask for the old man to return to his hometown and live in his old age. ”

"Your Majesty, my father's letter a few days ago also had this intention." As soon as his voice fell, Cui Shangan stepped out.

Seeing this, the ministers had different expressions, some were ecstatic, some were puzzled, and some frowned and pondered.

Xiao Ming sneered in his heart, he came back from Shanhaiguan, these two people came to test him, if he agreed to the request of the two to return to their hometown, this matter of cutting the feudal domain would be confirmed.

He didn't fall for the two of them, so he said: "The Great Chongqing Kingdom is in ruins, it is the time to employ people, King Yong and King Huainan are my ministers of the humerus, how can they abandon me, I don't allow this matter." ”

Pang Yukun breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

When Cui Shangan heard this, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he should say yes in unison.

casually sent the two away, Xiao Ming didn't care, this was just a small episode for him, and it was not too late to discuss it when the army returned to the court.

He didn't want to kill King Huainan and King Yong, but their military power still had to be handed over, and he would not allow a divided Dayu State to exist.

At the same time as he went to court, Pingzhou City received a batch of special weapons, which were captured muskets with scopes.

At this time, Lu Fei took the captive musket and looked at it repeatedly, the musket in his hand was a little different, and there was a telescope with a metal shell on it.

Accompanied by the scope was Wang Quan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard company stationed in Qingzhou, who had trained with his soldiers in the barracks after the muskets were made, and now he had mastered how to use them to shoot the enemy with precision.

Lei Ming and Luo Xin were also there, and the two showed playful looks, and he said: "The emperor said that the range of this musket is very accurate, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Wang Quan is not a person who can be smiled, he said with a straight face: "The shooting accuracy of the normal conscription musket will become worse and worse in the past 100 meters because of the line of sight, so even if the firing range of the conscription musket is 900 meters, it is still 100 meters to 200 meters The shooting effect is the best, but with this scope, it is different, and the soldiers can see farther away." ”

Lu Fei picked up the scope and looked at the soldiers on the city wall, and in his eyes, the soldiers' bodies were put very large.

He said: "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and turn around, Commander Wang, show it to us." ”

The military system of the Great Chongqing State stipulated that generals and soldiers with lower ranks must obey the orders of generals with higher ranks, so that the army could be organized in time after it was dispersed.

Although Wang Quan is not Lu Fei's subordinate, he still has to obey Lu Fei's orders in terms of military rank.

When everyone arrived at the gate of the city, Lu Fei selected three shooting experts and Wang Quan to go to the open land outside the city, and then asked people to insert a target at a position of 400 meters.

The three soldiers without scopes looked sad when they saw this, this distance was too far, and they basically couldn't see the target.

Just when the three of them hesitated, Wang Quan decisively raised his musket, and after aiming, he pulled the trigger.

Lu Fei was deliberately making things difficult for Wang Quan, but now he was stunned.

After a while, the soldier sent back the information of the target, and Wang Quan hit the fourth ring.

"That's right." Lu Fei sighed, he looked greedily at the conquest musket in Wang Quan's hand, "Killing the barbarian generals with one shot at such a distance will definitely make the barbarians chaotic, it seems that it is not a problem to take Jinzhou this time." ”

Lei Ming said: "Wang Quan, there is less than a month to go, we will hand over the best shooting soldiers in the army to you, and you will train a group of marksmen for us." ”

"Yes." Wang Quan gave a military salute to Lei Ming.

The three of them glanced at each other and smiled, if they conquered Jinzhou this time, this barbarian tribe would basically lose the most important agricultural and mineral areas, and decline would become inevitable.

After being bullied by the barbarians for decades, and now that the situation has finally reversed, the three of them are also excited, after all, they have all fought with the barbarians firsthand, and they know how powerful the barbarians were before.

But now in front of the muskets and artillery of the Great Yu Kingdom, the barbarians have gradually lost their advantage, and now they are very supportive of the changes implemented by Xiao Ming from the bottom of their hearts.
