"Count Claire is well informed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Uh......" Rhodes suddenly understood, with a stunned look on his face, and then laughed awkwardly.

is the so-called rare confusion, Xiao Ming will not debunk the matter of the Dutch spying on his fleet, after all, there are still mutual eavesdropping between NATO allies in contemporary times, so for things like the alliance, it is just to act together when there are common interests, and when the interests are conflicting, they may tear their faces at any time.

So he didn't care about this covenant, but was very interested in the information that Rhodes said.

When Yue Yunnan went down, he caught a British officer, and the information he provided at that time mentioned the steam engine, but the steam engine at that time was still not improved in the first generation of steam engine, and now it is obvious that this steam engine has entered the second generation.

However, he is not nervous now, after all, he has also successfully built a steam engine, and it has been initially used in various industries, and he is not far behind in this regard.

The only dilemma is that Britain now has a large number of colonies to provide raw materials and a large number of dumping places for goods, which is what he cannot compare, and it is also the most deadly place.

Because if he didn't have a large number of overseas colonies, he would at least have to unify the Great Chongqing Kingdom in order to obtain sufficient resources to achieve industrial transformation, and he is now stuck at this juncture.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists, and when he digested the four states he had captured, and then stockpiled enough ammunition, he quickly took the land of Wei, followed by the land of Yan, the land of Liang and Chang'an, thus ending the situation of the feudal kings in the north.

"Your Highness, if you agree, I will bring the covenant book when I go back this time, what do you think?" Rod asked.

Xiao Ming nodded, "You go back and tell Count Claire to rest assured, as long as you Dutch can do business with this king in a down-to-earth manner, this king will provide you with protection." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Rod said with a smile.

With Xiao Ming's assurance, Rod was happily elated, chatted with Xiao Ming for a while, and he and Li Kaiyuan went back to discuss business.

Seeing Rhodes leave, Xiao Ming showed a contemplative look, it seems that he can't relax at all, after all, he is developing, Europe is also developing, and in another fifty or sixty years, no one knows what Europe will develop, so he wants to fight for the colony as soon as possible and catch this last train.

After living in Qingzhou for three days, Rhodes returned to Dengzhou, and he naturally attracted a lot of attention during his time in Qingzhou, especially the magnates who came from Chang'an seemed to have seen ghosts, and they were talking about him everywhere.

After Rod left, after a delay of eight days, the king of Wei finally sent back the news, saying that he was willing to cede Yangzhou and compensate five million taels of silver.

Hearing this news, Xiao Ming finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and he immediately summoned envoys from all directions to sign a truce contract with Xiao Qi in person, temporarily ending the war in Weidi, and at the same time, it was also a complete destruction of Hezong.

"I hope Your Highness can abide by the contract, otherwise our Quartet will definitely attack together." Xiao Qi said.

At this time, Cui Zhang, Wang Xi, and Zheng Hao also nodded, they had achieved their respective goals, and the common interest at this time was to restrain Xiao Ming's further strength.

"Rest assured, this king will naturally not take the initiative to tear up the truce." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

The envoy from the Quartet nodded, they had been in the Qingzhou Army for more than a month, and now they couldn't wait to go back, only Cui Zhang stayed after the other three left.

Xiao Ming naturally understood what he meant, and he sent a craftsman from the Instrument Division to be responsible for handing over the iron rolling method to the craftsmen in Yandi, and Cui Zhang was completely relieved after forging an arquebus completely.

At the same time, Xiao Ming ordered Ye Qingyun to send some soldiers to Yangzhou City, and arrive before the King of Wei emptied Yangzhou City, so as not to get an empty city by then.

After receiving Xiao Ming's order, Ye Qingyun immediately led six thousand musketeers to Yangzhou, and when he arrived at the city of Yangzhou, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw that at this time, the beacon fire in Yangzhou City was in the sky, the houses in the city were blazing everywhere, the streets were full of the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling, the soldiers in the city wantonly slaughtered the people in the city, the streets were full of blood, and the corpses of the people were everywhere.

Ye Qingyun's eyes instantly turned red, and the eyes of the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army were also red, and they were enraged by the inhumanity of King Wei's army.

"Brothers, look at it with your eyes open, this is the nature of the Hao family, this is the true face of King Wei, they have never seen us ordinary people in their eyes." Ye Qingyun shouted loudly.

Pulling out the long sword at his waist, Ye Qingyun shouted angrily: "Brothers, follow me into the city in this gang of heavenly killers." ”

"Kill!"

The soldiers roared in unison, and following Ye Qingyun, the soldiers rushed forward bravely into Yangzhou City.

"King Qi's army is here."

The soldiers in the city shouted in horror, but his voice stopped abruptly after a burst of gunfire, and the soldiers of the Dengzhou army rushed like hungry wolves at the soldiers who slaughtered the people.

When they saw the Dengzhou army, the soldiers in the city ran away, carrying large and small packages in their arms, which they had snatched from the people's homes.

On the day of the handover, suddenly an order came to the Yangzhou army, which was to let the Yangzhou army loot, burn, and slaughter Yangzhou City, and they wanted to leave an empty city to the King of Qi.

After receiving this order, the children of the wealthy clan in the army did not hesitate to carry out this order, and for a time the city was like hell.

"Bang ......"

The gunfire was chaotic, and after the 6,000 soldiers entered the city, they immediately dispersed to encircle and suppress the rebel army in the city, and the burning, killing and looting in the city were quickly pacified under the intervention of the Dengzhou army, leaving the corpses of soldiers in the city.

The soldiers in Dengzhou this time are really angry, under the influence of the long history in the army, they already know what a country is and what a nation is, and now for them, Dayu is their own country, and the people in the country are people of one nation.

And now the king of Wei actually slaughtered his own people like a barbarian, which made them extremely angry, and now they finally understand why Changshi said that these vassal kings are the cancer of the Great Yu Kingdom, and with such a vassal king, the Great Yu Kingdom will never be at peace.

At this moment, the bravery of the Dengzhou soldiers in battle exceeded the attack on Tongzhou City, and the dignity of the nation was more important than money.

Entering from the west city, the Dengzhou army covered all the way over, and the rebels in the city were constantly shot, and when they arrived at the east gate, they eliminated the last group of rebels, but there was still a group of soldiers who fled.

Just when everyone was angry, suddenly a group of soldiers dressed as Wei soldiers walked towards them, and these soldiers suddenly knelt down in front of Ye Qingyun and said, "My lord, accept us, we will kill the King of Wei to avenge our relatives." ”
