The strongest Marquis in history

Cao Xuan chatted with Aiweier, and it didn't take long. They brought a thousand guns and [-] rounds of ammunition.Cao Xuan asked people to try it, and then made random checks to confirm that there was no problem, so he asked people to bring enough gold and hand over all the money to Aiweier.

After Aiweier left, Cao Xuan looked at Cheng Lin and Jia Yu, and said solemnly: "Cheng Gong, Jia Qing, although the strength of our Wei country is weak now. Now that we have rifles, our strength will definitely increase greatly."

"Even if the state of Qi invades, we are not afraid."

"Now, we will occupy Liangzhou first. In my opinion, because of the limited number of rifles, we will not start a war with Wang Qi for the time being. We will go all the way west to take down the Western Regions."

Cao Xuandao: "After taking these places, our strategic depth will be longer, and it will be more helpful for us to start a war with Qi."

Cheng Lin echoed, "My minister seconded the proposal!"

Jia Yu echoed, "I also agree."

Cao Xuan nodded, and said: "However, the matter of the rifle must be kept secret. Once this matter is publicized, even though Wang Qi doesn't know what a rifle is, if it gets out, it will be very harmful to us."

"understand!"

Cheng Lin and Jia Yu were both happy.

After all, at the moment, Wei Guo has a great opportunity again, and they are very excited.

Cheng Lin changed the subject, and said, "These officials who came to Xiliang now, although they are serving His Majesty, but in fact, because of their strength, they are at least fearful in their hearts."

"The old minister suggested that the most important group of people can be made aware of the existence of the rifle. Once they know it, they can feel at ease and stop worrying about the precarious state of Wei."

Cheng Lin said: "The hearts of the people are stable. For us to seize Liangzhou and expand westward, we can ensure local stability and everyone supports the king."

Cao Xuandao: "Will such an arrangement leak the news? I said just now that I am worried that the news about the rifle will leak. It will be difficult for Wang Qi to be caught off guard in the future."

Cheng Lin said: "Your Majesty, if you have never seen a rifle, just relying on the description of the rifle and the name alone, do you know what a rifle is?"

"Of course I don't know."

Cao Xuan shook his head.

He didn't have such a concept at all, so even when he talked about rifles, he was at a loss.

Cheng Lin said to herself: "So why worry about this? We are just demonstrating in front of all the officials. Even if the news may leak due to discussions, there is nothing to worry about."

"Furthermore, this news is not easy to spread. Everyone agrees with His Majesty and stands on His Majesty's side, so there is no leak of news. The most important thing is that with such a weapon, people's hearts are united, so there is nothing good worried."

Chen Lin looked quite bold.

Only after seeing the rifle did he have a concept, otherwise, he would have no concept at all.

Jia Yu echoed, "Your Majesty, I also agree with Cheng Gong's analysis."

Cao Xuan nodded, and also agreed with Cheng Lin and Cao Xuan's analysis. He immediately called Wang Ahu, a sharpshooter in the army, and explained the basic situation of the rifle according to Aiweier's explanation, and then led them to the school grounds.

Wang Ahu was still a little unaccustomed to holding a gun. After all, he was used to bows and arrows, but never used to rifles.According to Cao Xuan's explanation, he lifted the gun, leaned the butt of the gun on his shoulder, and aimed at an archery target a hundred paces ahead.

Wang Ahu took aim and directly pulled the trigger.

boom! !

The gun rang, and a moment later the bullet hit the target, directly through the target, but missed the heart.

After Wang Ahu shot three times in a row, he got used to it, and even his shooting distance was extended to about two hundred steps.At this time, it was time to shoot the sheep. Wang Ahu also shot every shot at this distance without failing.

He was used to the rifle, and he was shocked, even more shocked.Because the lethality of rifles far exceeds that of bows and arrows, such shooting is even more powerful.

Wang Ahu returned to Cao Xuan's side and said, "Your Majesty, this rifle is too powerful. This weapon is truly invincible."

Cao Xuan smiled and said, "If you can use it, that's great."

Wang Ahu got used to it, so Cao Xuan didn't waste any more time, and immediately arranged for people, and summoned all the officials, Li Hongzhong and others were all transferred here.

After all the civil and military officials entered the camp and arrived at the school grounds, Cao Xuan said directly: "My lords, we have enmity with Qi. Although we are weak, I got a new weapon today, called a rifle. I won't say much more. , to demonstrate to you.”

He nodded directly at Wang Ahu, and two hundred steps away, there were ten sheep.

After Wang Ahu took aim, he pulled the trigger.

boom!

With a gunshot, he fell headfirst.

boom!boom! ! !

Continuous gunshots rang out, ten gunshots in a row, and all ten sheep fell to the ground and died.

This scene shocked everyone.

You must know that the distance is two hundred steps, but it is easy to shoot and kill the sheep.In other words, once it was a human being, such a situation would be extremely terrifying.

Cao Xuan looked at the shock of everyone, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He led the people forward, and when he reached the position of the sheep, he said, "Come, come, let's take a look at the situation."

Li Hongzhong also stepped forward to look carefully. Seeing the dead sheep and the wound on the sheep's head, everyone talked a lot, but they were all horrified, because this weapon was too powerful.

Cao Xuan said in a deep voice: "My lords, Wang Qi's great master is indeed powerful. But my rifle is enough to kill the great master. In addition, this rifle, now I can equip more than a thousand people, and I am not afraid of Wang Qi's attack. Wei Guo , have a foothold."

Li Hongzhong thought about it.

The rest of the officials also had intriguing expressions of thought.

Cao Xuan continued: "Of course, now we want to counterattack Wang Qi, but we can't do it yet. Because the rifles are still limited, but the king has already contacted the person who made the rifles, and he has returned to continue making rifles. The next batch of weapons Come, there will be more."

"During this period, we took advantage of this gap to seize Liangzhou, and then went to the Western Regions to expand our territory. After we have more weapons, the next step is to counterattack Qi."

"Relying on our strength, as long as we have enough weapons, we can catch Wang Qi by surprise, and the country of Qi can't stop it. It's easy to kill sheep with rifle bullets, and the same goes for killing people."

Cao Xuandao: "As long as you all join me and we work hard, in the future, Wei State will stand on this piece of land. You are still important ministers in the court, and you are also the founding heroes of the Great Wei State."

"Long live Your Majesty! God bless Wei!"

Among the crowd, some officials shouted.

"Long live Your Majesty! God bless Wei!"

"Long live Your Majesty! God bless Wei!"

More and more officials shouted, and these people were quite excited.Because in the current situation, it is beneficial to them, the stronger the Wei State, the higher their status.

Seeing the morale of the crowd, Cao Xuan had a smug look on his face.

Sure enough, Cheng Lin's suggestion was excellent.

Cao Xuandao: "I just let everyone know about this weapon. Now we are no longer panic-stricken dogs. We are now going to counterattack Qi. Please follow me patiently and start a business."

"I obey my orders!"

Answer one by one.

Cao Xuan said: "Okay, let's go, after all, you still have a lot of things to do."

"I retire!"

Everyone asked to leave.

Li Hongzhong also returned to his office with inexplicable thoughts, he was still working on government affairs.After dark, Li Hongzhong returned home to rest.

Li Hongzhong was thinking about the rifle and what happened today.

On this day, so many things happened.

Emperor Zhao Gan was killed.

The queen mother was killed.

People in the emperor's lineage are now being slaughtered.

Now Cao Xuan has more rifles.

However, in Li Hongzhong's heart, he was still not optimistic about Cao Xuan.For the time being, Cao Xuan did get a rifle. The problem is that Cao Xuan's foundation is too weak. Even if Cao Xuan can gain an advantage temporarily, Qi is not a vegetarian.

Once Qi Guo survives, it will be different.

Therefore, Li Hongzhong believed that Cao Xuan was still invincible.After Li Hongzhong thought about it, he sat for a long time, and gradually he had an idea in his mind, so he rolled out the paper and wrote down what happened now.

After all the content was written, Li Hongzhong called his confidants in the mansion to send the letter.

This is for Li Yannian.

Today's Li Yannian is working under Wang Qi's command. As long as Wang Qi knows Cao Xuan's situation in advance, even though Wang Qi may not know the general situation in future fights, at least he has a precaution.

If Wang Qi was unprepared, but he talked about the rifle, Li Hongzhong would be no wonder.

After everything was arranged properly, Li Hongzhong went to bed and rested.

Chapter 779 The Birth of the Dragon Son

In late July, all members of the Qi court team from Linzi arrived in Chang'an.

In addition, Zhao Yuyan and Mi Zhen also arrived.

Of the two girls, Zhao Yuyan was already very pregnant, and her due date would be one month away.Thanks to Zhao Yuyan's martial arts practice, she is in good health, so even if she traveled long distances, it would not have much impact.

After the two girls arrived in Chang'an, Zhao Yuyan was unaffected, but Mi Zhen was a little sluggish. After all, she had never practiced martial arts, and the weather was hot when she was on the way, so she was a little tired. Fortunately, after the doctor's diagnosis, everything was fine.

Because of the arrival of Zhao Yuyan, Mi Zhen and others, everything was ready. On July 26, Wang Qi officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

This year is the first year of Yong'an.

After Wang Qi proclaimed himself emperor, regarding the courtiers, the six ministers remained the same without any changes.In fact, the entire civil service system, after all, was arranged according to the official positions of a country before, and there has not been much change.

However, the number of officials under the six ministers has increased in large numbers, and more people have been enriched into the six ministers.In the past, people from the state of Chu, as well as people from the Great Zhou Dynasty, all entered the court, making the court operate normally.

It's just that the officials of Qi State in the past are different from the officials of Da Qi today.

Now it is orthodox.

Originally, Wang Qi's proclaiming emperor also involved one thing, that is, going back to his ancestors, and giving honorable titles to the ancestors of all generations.But because Wang Zongxi didn't want to, he also said before that he was the Marquis of Zhenbei.

As for the issue of honorary titles, Wang Zongxi was directly bypassed, and the ancestors of the royal family were given honorary titles. Then Wang Qi canonized Zhao Yuyan as queen and Mizhen as noble concubine.

The matter of proclaiming the emperor was busy, and it was delayed for several days. When it entered August, under the arrangement of the six ministers, everything gradually got on the right track, and Wang Qicai relaxed a little.

It's just that although the state of Qi is settled, adjustments in all parts of the world still need to be carried out.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Wang Qi was not in a hurry to adjust the location. The first thing he did was to promote the sweet potato, so that the sweet potato, corn, and potatoes in the entire Qi State were promoted to the entire Qi State, and all these grains should be planted.

With these foods, hunger can be minimized.

This was the first thing Wang Qi arranged.

Under the impetus of this major event, Qi State developed steadily.

On this day, when Wang Qi was dealing with government affairs, a servant eunuch hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, news has just come from the harem that the empress has begun to give birth and is in the process of giving birth."

Wang Qizeng stood up and hurried to the harem.

This is his first child.

Wang Qi paid special attention to it.

When he came to the harem, he was stopped by the midwife Wen, who dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, the empress is giving birth, you cannot go in, please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

This was also the first time Wang Qi had encountered this. He didn't go in, because once he went in, although Zhao Yuyan could be encouraged, it would not be good if he interfered with Wen Po's performance.

Wang Qi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Hearing the screams coming from the room, he was also very nervous.

While Wang Qi was waiting, Wang Fu also stood aside.He was also quite nervous, but he said with relief: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything will be fine. The empress is in good fortune, and she will definitely give birth to a dragon son."

Today's harem, except for eunuchs and court ladies, prohibits men from entering, but Wang Fu is an exception.

Wang Qi asked him to take care of the safety of the two daughters. Even though Wang Fu is getting old, he is very skilled and can still take care of the affairs of the harem to ensure that no one will be unfavorable to Zhao Yuyan and Mi Zhen.

Wang Qi nodded, but hearing Zhao Yuyan's shout, he still couldn't help feeling nervous.

There were hysterical screams.

A howl of pain.

All involved Wang Qi's thoughts.

"Wow! Wow!"

Suddenly, a clear and sweet cry came from the room.As soon as the sound came out, like the first howl of a breast tiger, it broke all the noise at once. The moment Wang Qi heard it, he became excited, and the worry in his heart fell to the ground.

finally gave birth.
