The sound of cicadas sounded outside the imperial study, and the noise was upsetting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xiao Ming was thinking while pacing back and forth in front of the three of them, when the industrial revolution was in full swing, the country of Dayu was still facing security challenges.

The king of Chu, the barbarians, the Wa Kingdom, the Tubo, etc., these hostile forces need to be solved one by one for him, and his task is still very heavy.

"After all, the vassal kings are a great disaster for the Great Yu Kingdom, if they don't get rid of it, the Great Yu Kingdom will be in a state of fragmentation, and the most hateful thing is that I can't interfere in the political affairs of the feudal country." Xiao Ming said that this was the rule set by Gaozu back then, and in Xiao Ming's view, these feudal states were equivalent to independent federations, loyal to the royal family and self-contained at the same time.

And this is the reason why he hates it so much, because the vassal kings have become time bombs, and when the royal family is strong, it will naturally be safe, and when the royal family is weak, these feudal kings will take the opportunity to replace them.

After all, this incident has only happened for a few years, and it is by no means his speculation.

Fiji looked pensive, Xiao Ming's words were enough for him to understand what Xiao Ming was going to do, he said: "Your Majesty, this matter can't be rushed, now the north has not been completely settled, and the Japanese kingdom is eyeing Goryeo again, and the Northern Expeditionary army needs to rest again after returning to the court, and rashly cutting the feudal domain is afraid that it will push the vassal kings to the side of the king of Chu, so that the backyard will catch fire." “

"What Fei Ge Lao said is that most of the troops of the Great Yu Kingdom are now contained in the north, even if the soldiers who returned triumphantly can only make up 60,000 people, not to mention that it takes time to raise grain and grass and prepare ammunition, the battle of the Northern Expedition has consumed a lot, and the slaves who have been plundered back have taken up a lot of rations, the emperor, the old minister thinks that the current time is definitely not the time to send troops, at present, it should be mainly to stabilize Kwantung and Goryeo, at least wait for the Kwantung grain to be able to provide food for the garrison army." Pang Yukun persuaded that because of the delay in spring ploughing, there is no grain output in Kanto now.

At present, not only can it not provide food for the Great Chongqing State, but the imperial court still has subsidized food, and the statistics of the government will soon come out after the recovery of the six cities.

The total population of the six Kanto cities is now 2.2 million, which is very fatal.

Xiao Ming glanced at Pang Yukun, in his memory, this guy is like this every time, as soon as he fights, he shouts about lack of food and money, and he never has a happy time.

However, he understands that Pang Yukun is a person who pursues stability, and he never likes to fight uncertain battles.

"In that case, let's think about it next autumn, but before that, I have to think of a way to get King Huainan and King Yong to hand over their military power." Xiao Ming said with a deep groan.

In fact, he doesn't want to fight his own people anymore, there is no point in infighting, if the king of Chu can hand over his military power and become a rich prince, he will not do anything to him.

It's just that it's too late now, the king of Chu is digging a pit for himself now, once the parliament headed by Cao Kun is established, the state of Chu will change its taste, and at that time he will face it is probably not the king of Chu, but the capital council.

But even so, he is not very worried, the state of Chu is developing, but the north is also developing, and he is developing much faster than the state of Chu for a year.

This is like a tortoise and rabbit race, adding a year, he will only make the gap between the north and the south even bigger, maybe he will kill the king of Chu by an overwhelming margin at that time, after all, Song Changping is already developing a Sharps rear-loading rifle similar to a paper shell bullet as ammunition.

This Sharps rifle is very similar in structure to the conquest musket currently used in the Great Yu Kingdom, it also adopts an external fire cap, hammer fire, paper eggshell, but the difference is that a locking structure is added.

In this way, the captive musket of the Great Yu Kingdom only needs to be slightly modified and upgraded to become a breech-loading rifled rifle.

And the reason for this is of course not a coincidence, because Xiao Ming guided Song Changping in this direction at the beginning of the design, in order to facilitate the upgrading of the musket.

Now there are more than 100,000 modern musket troops in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and he can't bear to change weapons frequently, and according to the news from the battlefield, he lost a lot of captured muskets during the Northern Expedition.

It is likely that these muskets had passed into the hands of the barbarians, and once they were, he believed that the Wa kingdom and the Western misaku might have obtained this new type of musket.

As far as he is concerned, he can't tolerate the loss of the advantage of his own weapons on the battlefield, otherwise he, the person with the technology hedron, will be really ashamed.

In addition to this reason, another reason he chose the Sharps rifle was the problem of ammunition production, which was fully capable of using the Mingne rounds currently used in the conquest rifles, without the need for a special line of matching bullets.

The only question now is whether Song Changping can make a qualified locking structure, because this will affect the airtightness of the musket.

In the following time, he needed to build a production machine specifically for the closure structure.

After discussing the issue of the King of Chu, Xiao Ming said to Li San: "I don't fight the King of Chu for the time being, it doesn't mean that I am afraid of him, you did the right thing, and now you immediately cooperate with the guards to seal all the businesses of the Cao family." “

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li San responded.

After saying this, Xiao Ming asked the three of them to go back, if he had been worried about the matter of King Chu before, but now it was unnecessary, because he was fully confident that he could control the situation.

Now his plan can't be messed up, and at present, he still has to deal with the barbarians and the Japanese state, and at the same time stabilize the Kwantung and Goryeo, so that these two places will become the granary and dumping market of the Great Chongqing State.

Thinking of this, he asked Qian Dafu to call Huang Zixuan, and the Goryeo mission was waiting for his reply so that he could go back on an errand.

After a while, Huang Zixuan, who had been waiting in the restaurant for several days, arrived, and when he saw Xiao Ming, he immediately knelt down with a flattering face.

Xiao Ming didn't let Huang Zihao get up, at this time he just wanted to show the danger in front of him, he groaned for a while, he said: "Huang Zixuan, since you are willing to do things for me, I will not treat you badly, you need to faithfully fulfill the conditions I gave to Gao Liti." ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, even if you are crushed in the next place, you will never live up to Your Majesty's grace." Huang said sincerely.

Nodding, Xiao Ming continued: "The army of the Great Yu Kingdom is stationed in Liujing City, which is enough to save your life, but the contradictions that arise in the process of implementing the treaty need you to find your own way, and my principle is that under the premise of fulfilling the treaty, I will not interfere in your internal affairs." ”

"Your Majesty's meaning is understood, and your majesty will never cause trouble for your majesty."

Xiao Ming also said what he should say, I am afraid that the most controversial thing in this treaty is the cultural issue, he is more rough in this regard, but only roughness can assimilate Goryeo.

Otherwise, even a thousand years of indoctrination will not be able to assimilate this place, and once the Goryeo culture is revived, the place will be separated again, and the grievances of contemporary England and Ireland are enough to prove the harm of leaving a tail.

And all he has to do is do it once and for all.
