Crossing the God of Warring States System

Chapter 74
No one knew Zhou Zihao's purpose. People in charge like Jing Qi were only responsible for the management and planning of shipbuilding, and were completely unaware of other projects.

As the situation got bigger and bigger, Zhou Zihao's situation in Qi State became more and more perfect.And everyone who works for him can receive a reasonable salary at the end of each month, which was unimaginable before.

Ordinary people, most of them rely on those poor Botian fields to support themselves, and it is difficult to work. But now there are jobs everywhere, and they never have to worry about not getting money, because the King of Qi has issued an order and everyone must abide by it.

After watching the boat, Zhou Zihao gave Jing Qi some guidance, asking him to work harder to make the boat better.

Judging from Jing Qi's current level, it basically meets Zhou Zihao's requirements. He knows that with the production level of the Warring States period, it takes a lot of energy and time to make more delicate things.

And time is what Zhou Zihao lacks the most now. He doesn't want to see the state of Qin being silently strong. The most important thing is that Zhou Zihao got the news that a large number of soldiers and horses have gathered on the border of the state of Qi and is about to launch an attack on the state of Qi.

Now the court of Qi State is in chaos. They don't know how to deal with so many enemies. The main reason is that many people are panic-stricken.

Originally, Zhou Zihao wanted to stay at the shipbuilding base for a while, but he didn't expect to get the news of the invasion of other princes, and suddenly felt that they came at the right time.

It happened that hundreds of cannons were assembled, and the gunpowder was inexhaustible. All the finished things were put into the open space in the system, and it was easy to transport. The more troublesome thing was that Zhou Zihao needed to go to the front line.

Only by personally deploying and commanding the battle can it play a deterrent role.

It seems that you should hurry back to the palace, otherwise it would be difficult for the queen mother alone to deal with those nobles.

……

"Empress Donggong, quickly think of a way, the army is coming."

A clan elder surnamed Tian in Qi State stood at the front, looked at Zhong Wuyan in a panic, and said eagerly.

The officials next to him also looked at Zhong Wuyan, hoping that she would come up with an idea to repel the enemy.

Zhong Wuyan has been very tough these years, courageous and resourceful, and resolute in her actions. It is precisely because of her presence that Qi has gradually turned from weak to strong.

After King Xuan of Qi passed away, they were dazzled by King Qi's dazzling reforms.

At first they thought they would get a lot of fiefdoms by occupying the Yan State, but unexpectedly they didn't get them, and there was a lot of hatred from various countries.

Zhong Wuyan looked around and saw that the officials were in a panic, she was also anxious. This time, at least the allied forces of the three countries were facing them, and their strength was far greater than that of Qi.

Besides, part of Qi State's troops are still in Yan State, so she really can't think of how to win the victory by lifting the border siege.

Zhong Wuyan did not directly answer the clan elder's question, but looked at the crowd and said, "I think you all know that the army on the border is the allied army of Qin, Wei and South Korea, with a strength of one million. I haven't thought about it yet. Come up with a more favorable coping strategy, I wonder if you can find a way.”

The clan elders and ministers did not expect that Zhong Wuyan would throw the question back, and the last hope was gone.

Just when they were in a daze, a small soldier reporting the battle came in, knelt down on the ground, and reported: "Go back to your mother, the Allied forces have broken through the three cities of Qi State the day before yesterday, and they are expanding inward. The guards of many cities are fighting bravely. resistance."

Zhong Wuyan was taken aback, only to receive the activation of their allied forces, and captured the three cities of Qi so quickly, it seems that their purpose is to carve up Daqi.

What to do, thinking that her son King Qi had not returned yet, these ministers forced her to give orders again.

Zhong Wuyan said to Meng Changjun: "Send the order, gather our Qi army to go to support, and must defend."

Jun Mengchang had long wanted to go down and take action, but he just wanted to see the situation so that he could help Zhong Wuyan from the side.

"I don't know where King Qi is now, why is such a major event happening in Qi, but he is not there, is it because Qi is indifferent?" The clan elders questioned again.

"Yes, where is King Qi?" Xia Guozhu asked.

"We also want to know where King Qi is now."

"King Qi has been very independent since he came to the throne, but now he is nowhere to be seen. What's going on?"

Several others also echoed.

Xia Guozhu wanted to ask King Qi's whereabouts a long time ago, but he was afraid that others would drag him into it, and it would be bad if he was pushed to the battlefield.

Hearing them ask about their son, Zhong Wuyan's heart beat even more. The last time Zhong Wuyan heard Zhou Zihao say that he has powerful weapons that can deal with strong soldiers.

"We need to discuss with King Qi."

"There can be no delay."

It was about to get out of control, just when Zhong Wuyan didn't know how to deal with it.

I saw Zhou Zihao coming in from the door, strode forward, stood in front of Zhong Wuyan, and said, "Who is looking for me, I'm very busy."

"The minister waits to pay homage to the king."

Seeing Zhou Zihao coming in, they all knelt down and saluted respectfully.

"Everyone, get up." Zhou Zihao said.

"It's great that the king is back." The clan elder said against his will.

"It's fine if I come back. I'll stay by your side." Zhou Zihao didn't have a good attitude towards the clan elder in front of him, because this old man always caused trouble for him because of his high status.

"Uh..." The clan elder didn't expect the slightly immature King Qi to speak so straightforwardly.

"Your Majesty, we have already fallen to three cities, and the army of the Three Kingdoms Alliance is approaching menacingly, and it seems that we are going to swallow us Qi." Yan Zi said.

"I have already understood the situation. You don't have to worry. The expeditionary force has been assembled. I will hold a mobilization meeting with them tomorrow, and then I will personally go to the border to retreat from the enemy." Zhou Zihao said.

"My... Your Majesty, are you saying that you want to conquer in person?" Yan Zi was slightly taken aback, "This is absolutely impossible."

The clan elder also hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't lead the troops in person."

Xia Guozhu also pretended to say: "The king has a distinguished status. Besides, you are too young, how can you lead troops?"

On the surface, this guy was preventing Zhou Zihao from leaving, but in fact he was saying that he couldn't do it.

Zhong Wuyan also advised, "Wang Er, you can't act recklessly."

Zhou Zihao looked around at them, sizing up everyone's expressions. He didn't expect to get so many voices of doubt when he just expressed his thoughts.

He went there to deliver cannons. Along the way, he could teach the expeditionary army how to use cannons. When he went to the battlefield, a gust of spring breeze would sweep the fallen leaves and frighten them directly with the powerful cannons.

Let the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms appear fearful, and then break through one by one.Just use this tough battle to boost the morale of the expeditionary army.

Zhou Zihao said directly to them, "I've already made my decision."

"Your Majesty, we should stop discussing some matters..." Before Yan Zi could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Needless to say, go down and prepare to mobilize troops. I will set off tomorrow." Zhou Zihao ordered directly.

　I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival.
