Chapter 170: Cangzhou City
"Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, Qin Chuanyun, you can't escape from this king's Five Finger Mountain after all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Xiao Ming's spirit was shocked, the **** was almost killed by this old fox, and he has always remembered this account. ā
When Wang Xuan came back, he had already learned the news of the Qin family's rebellion, and he said: "Such a wolf-hearted and dog-lunged person should be hanged at the city gate to make an example, and the Qin family should be killed so as not to leave future troubles." ā
Pang Yukun did not object, this murder of the King of Qi is a great crime of rebellion, and according to the law, the nine clans should be punished.
Now the Wei family, who conspired with the Qin family, were all arrested and beheaded in the autumn, and the rest of the Qin family had already been beheaded in Dongshi.
The four wealthy families that were once dominating the world have completely disappeared in Qingzhou.
A few days ago, Xiao Ming still had illusions about the wealthy family, and he was soft-hearted.
But after the assassination of the Qin family, he will no longer have any sympathy for these wealthy clans, because he knows that the previous contradictions between himself and the wealthy clan cannot be reconciled, either you die or I die.
He said: "Escort Qin Chuanyun and other participants in the burning of the official village and the merchants who acted as fine workers to Cangzhou, in order to set an example, this king will hang them on the wall of Cangzhou so that those rebels will understand what will happen to them." ā
"Yes, Your Highness, I'll do it." Pang Yukun smiled.
The Qin family and the Wei family were disposed of, and there was no more wealthy family in Qingzhou, and from then on this was the world of King Qi.
The news brought by Wang Xuan meant that the clouds of war were finally coming to Cangzhou, which was a fateful battle for Xiao Ming.
The barbarian can lose, but he can't lose, because if he loses, he will lose everything.
If he wins, he will not only be able to change his position among the vassal kings of the Great Yu Kingdom, but his fief will also win a period of stable development from now on.
And that's what he needs, after all, he has a technological spar, and as a civilization maker, his mission is to promote the explosion of civilization.
In modern times, it was the explosion of bug-like technology in Europe after the fifteenth century that led to the defeat of Western civilization over Eastern civilization for the first time.
Here, in this time and space, he will definitely not allow his country to be bombarded by the cannons of the West again.
"Your Highness, when you go to Cangzhou, you must take care of your health, don't be reckless, now Your Highness's safety is related to the millions of people in the fiefdom."
After the tentative attack of the Huyantuo tribe, the barbarian army will inevitably be ushered in.
The matter of Cangzhou is important, and Xiao Ming must personally go to Cangzhou to command, which is also to be foolproof.
Xiao Ming held Aster's little hand to arrange his cloak for himself, Aster just blushed slightly, did not refuse, he said: "This king hasn't seen the "Amazing Dance" choreographed by you and Luluo?" How could you be willing to die! ā
Lu Luo smiled: "Yes, sister, you can stay in the palace with peace of mind, and with me taking care of you, Your Highness's daily life will not be wrong." ā
Aster nodded and sighed.
This time, Xiao Ming went to Cangzhou, but he only brought Pothos alone, and Aster stayed in the palace, after all, he needed a confidant to stay in Qingzhou.
Rubbing it on Aster's little hand again, Xiao Ming said to the pothos at this time: "Let's go, time is pressing." ā
Green Pothos nodded, and obediently followed Xiao Ming to remove the palace.
Outside the door, the five hundred cavalry escorting Xiao Ming to Cangzhou City had been waiting for a long time, Xiao Ming looked at the somewhat worried Aster, and smiled.
The two of them were originally the slaves and maids given to her by Concubine Zhen, and they can be said to belong to their own personal belongings in this era.
What they do to the two of them, the two of them can't resist at all, the question is only whether they are happy or not.
Although he has become a prince now, Xiao Ming still resists using force in his heart, and slaves need to be cultivated.
Obviously, the relationship between the two and herself has become much closer during this time, and some small actions are natural.
"Let's go!"
With an order, the cavalry slowly advanced and set off towards Cangzhou City, and three days later, the group arrived at Cangzhou City.
At this time, Niu Ben, Lu Fei and Luo Xin had been stationed in Cangzhou City for more than a month, and Zhan Xingchang's repair of the city wall had also been completed.
Riding a horse into Cangzhou City, a sudden sense of desolation came to the face, and Qingzhou is different, Cangzhou City is only ten miles long and wide, and the nearby people are sparsely populated, even if they enter the city, there are only sparse people.
These people were yellow-muscled, ragged, and had a fear of war in their eyes.
In the past month, a large number of troops have entered Cangzhou City, which is enough for them to guess something.
In the people's square in the city, Xiao Ming can still see the ruins left by the war three years ago, because of the war, most of the people of Cangzhou were either killed or taken away.
There were very few people who came back in the later period, and there were many houses in the city, but there were few people, so naturally these burned houses were not repaired.
In Cangzhou City, Xiao Ming's Xingyuan was already ready, and after entering the city, he went directly to the station where Xingyuan was located.
"Your Highness!"
As soon as he settled down, Niu Ben rushed over.
Xiao Ming said: "The old general is exempt, thank you to the old general, and find such an exquisite courtyard for this king." ā
It is a courtyard where the line is located, but there are many rockeries and flowers and plants in it, and there are many gardens, although it is not as good as the palace, but it also has its beauty.
"Your Highness can do it if you like it." Niu Ben said with a smile: "There are still a few good courtyards in the city, but His Highness said that it is closer to the city gate, so the last general chose this." ā
Xiao Ming nodded and got down to business, "In the past few days, has the barbarian clan moved?" ā
Niu Ben's expression also became solemn, "The last general came to talk about this matter, the Huyantuo tribe is less than 100 miles away from Cangzhou City, and it is estimated that they will be able to go to Cangzhou City tomorrow." ā
"How's the city's defenses going?"
"According to the plan, this time the artillery did not go up, and the previous rolling wood, hot oil, and stones were used, and the catapult went up, but the stones were also used, and the gunpowder canisters were not ready to be used." Niu Ben said.
"Well, in this way, some gunpowder canisters will also be transported, and don't use them until the last resort." Xiao Ming said.
In Qin Chuanyun's case, the grassland merchant clearly stated that the formula of this gunpowder came from the barbarians, so the barbarians knew gunpowder.
This is not surprising, after all, gunpowder has appeared for hundreds of years, and the Great Chongqing State is also using gunpowder weapons such as torches against barbarians, and it is impossible for barbarians not to know what this is.
And in this way, he was even more worried, because the methods he used to deal with the barbarians were likely to be learned by the barbarians.
Because of this, he attaches great importance to artillery, gunpowder canisters are easy to learn, but artillery cannot be built without technology.
When he arrived in Cangzhou, naturally it was not for enjoyment, he got up and said: "It's still early, let's go to the city wall to have a look, this Zhan Xingchang doesn't know how to build the city wall?" ā
