"Musket technology? Seriously? ”
King Yan stood up from his seat and walked towards Zhan Xingchang, he had to be excited.
"Exactly!" Zhan Xingchang said.
According to the information obtained by the secret guards, King Zhao has mastered the technology of making arquebuses from rolling iron, so it is no secret to the Great Yu Kingdom that this arquebus forging technology is no longer a secret.
It's worth taking a technology that's not a secret in exchange for some benefits.
Although King Yan and King Liang did not seem to be reckless, they have always been very eager for firearms technology, and most of the spies caught in Qingzhou are from Yandi and Liangdi.
From this, he judged that King Yan must be extremely probable this arquebus forging technique.
With a smile on his face, Zhan Xingchang said: "Now His Royal Highness King Yan should believe in His Highness's sincerity, King Qi has handed over all the skills of housekeeping." ”
"Then how are you going to hand over firearms technology to this king?" King Yan asked.
"It's very simple, Your Highness can send craftsmen to Qingzhou, and we will definitely teach these craftsmen how to produce arquebuses, and when these craftsmen return to Yandi, Your Highness can make arquebuses by yourself." Zhan Xingchang said.
King Yan's heart was finally messy, and now his determination began to waver, whether he wanted to strangle Xiao Ming or the arquebus technique? These two questions made his anxious heart uncomfortable.
After pondering for a while, he said: "Your envoy might as well hide in Bozhou for a few days, and King Rong Ben will think about it for two days before replying." ”
"In that case, I will go down, and I hope that His Highness can make a wise decision." Zhan Xingchang said with a smile.
King Yan squeezed out a smile, and he arched his hand to Zhan Xingchang.
Zhan Xingchang understood, turned and left.
Seeing Zhan Xingchang leave, King Yan suddenly said, "Come out." ”
As soon as his words fell, the four princes and two young men walked out of the cabinet of the main hall.
The eldest of the two young people said, "Dad, do you still need to choose?" Of course, it is an arquebus, as long as we have an arquebus, we can compete for the world, otherwise even if we destroy Xiao Ming, there are still the kings of Zhao, Liang, Wei, and Chu in the south, how can we be their opponents at that time. ”
"That's right, Dad, this King Wei and Xiao Ming have a grudge, but this King Wei also has a grudge against us, help him destroy Xiao Ming, isn't this helping him? In Erchen's opinion, this time it is better to let Xiao Ming's tortured King Wei be half dead, but he can't let Xiao Ming completely annex Wei, so that his Xiao Ming's strength can't expand rapidly, and this King Wei is also greatly injured. Another young man said.
The opinion of the fourth prince is different from the two, he said: "Uncle, you must not fall into Xiao Ming's trap, this time King Wei is an opportunity to eliminate Xiao Ming in one fell swoop, otherwise give Xiao Ming a period of time, no one in this world will be his opponent, and letting him go at this time is undoubtedly a trouble." ”
King Yan paced back and forth, and he said: "Your words are reasonable, so now this king is also very difficult, if you take a wrong step this time, Yan Di will be doomed." ”
"Father, don't hesitate, people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, if there is no musket, it is not difficult for King Zhao and King Liang to destroy Yan, after all, behind the two are barbarians, but if we are equipped with muskets and artillery, it will be different, and there may be a glimmer of life at that time."
"That's right, Father, you have to think about the big picture."
King Yan's two sons tried their best to persuade each other.
The fourth prince wanted to interject, but when he saw the indifferent eyes of the two, he suddenly stopped talking.
Although he fled from Chang'an to Bozhou this time, the honor that once belonged to the prince is no longer there, and now he lives in the Yanwang Mansion, although he is called the fourth prince, but he no longer has the right to be a prince.
And King Yan's two sons have also been inferior to him many times, which made him gradually understand that he was just an outsider.
In the face of his son's prodding, King Yan became more and more moved, but he kept a little calm, and he said, "Tomorrow, we will convene civil and military officials to discuss this matter." ”
After that, King Yan turned around and left, he had to calm down and think about this matter carefully.
Suddenly only the second son and the fourth prince of King Yan were left in the palace, this is the eldest son of King Yan and said in a strange manner: "Fourth prince, you are not involved in the affairs of my Yan Kingdom, after all, you are the prince of the Great Yu Kingdom, you should go to Chang'an to inquire about the affairs of Chang'an." ”
"But no, maybe the Thirteen Princes will be able to seal a piece of territory for you when they are happy." The second son of King Yan said.
The face of the fourth prince turned white and black for a while, and he finally understood what it was to send people under the fence now.
The two laughed for a while, turned around and walked out, and when they left, they deliberately bumped into the fourth prince.
Looking at the arrogant appearance of the two, a trace of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the fourth prince, how could he have suffered such humiliation, clenched his fists tightly, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must clean up the two.
The next day, King Yan summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to inquire about the envoys of Qi and Wei, to the surprise of King Yan, the officials all chose arquebuses, but in order to limit Xiao Ming's growth, the ministers also gave him a very insidious idea.
In the afternoon of the same day, King Yan summoned Zhan Xingchang again.
"This king has decided to agree to King Qi's conditions." Yan Wang said.
Zhan Xingchang was overjoyed, "Your Highness, this is really a wise decision. ”
King Yan waved his hand and continued: "But this king has one more condition. ”
"Your Highness, please?"
"From now on, the King of Qi must stop annexing Wei and keep the existing city, otherwise we will attack Qi with the King of Wei even if we don't have musket technology." Yan Wang said.
Zhan Xingchang's brows furrowed, this Yan King is really too insidious and cunning, he is preparing to take advantage of it while preventing Xiao Ming from completely occupying Wei Land to increase his strength.
This question was too important, and Zhan Xingchang couldn't answer it for a while, he said: "This matter can only be discussed with His Highness after returning to Qingzhou after going to Zhaodi." ”
"This king is not in a hurry." King Yan looked like he was determined to show off his prosperity.
Zhan Xingchang nodded when he heard this, and turned to leave.
Returning to the hotel, Zhan Xingchang immediately asked someone to send King Yan's conditions back, and at the same time he was ready to leave for Chang'an, which was the last stop of his trip, as long as he persuaded King Zhao not to participate in this matter, he would really feel at ease.
When the time comes, the king of Yan will be divided, and the only thing left is Liang and Wei, and Liang Youyong is resisting, so there is nothing to be afraid of, and the rest is only the king of Wei.
So the most important thing now is King Zhao's attitude, after all, King Zhao is currently the strongest vassal king except for Xiao Ming.
After packing up the softness, Zhan Xingchang and his party marched to Chang'an, and at the same time, Zhan Xingchang's achievements in Yandi were also passed to Qingzhou, and Xiao Ming's final attitude will determine whether there will be a big melee in the north.
