The strongest Marquis in history

Time passed, and it was late March in a blink of an eye.At this time, large-scale farming has already begun in all parts of the country, especially the warmer places in the south, which have already been busy.

Corn, potatoes, and sweet potato seedlings have all begun to be carried out on a large scale.

This is extended to the whole country.

As long as after this year, after the large-scale harvest of grain, the court's grain storage will further increase, and the foundation of Qi will be further stabilized.The stability of the country depends on the prosperity of the people.

People's lives are easy and they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Qi State is naturally very stable.

This is the goal the court hoped for.

Wang Qi is also concerned about farming, and he even personally took Zhao Yuyan to demonstrate farming.Although this is a show, but in the court, this is what must be done, let people know this matter, let the world know that the court attaches great importance to farming.

In the blink of an eye, it is May, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.At this time, the affairs of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Wu'an have begun to advance, and the imperial examinations are also being arranged.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

On this day, when Wang Qi was dealing with government affairs, a servant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Sanqing Guanqi Changsheng asks to see you."

"pass!"

Wang Qi gave an order.

The servant went to deliver the order, and after a while, Qi Changsheng entered.

Qi Changsheng's aura is even more ethereal now.Although he is busy with things, his own understanding of Dao has become more and more transparent.His own skills are getting stronger and stronger.

After Qi Changsheng stood still, he bowed and saluted, "Minister Qi Changsheng, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Wang Qi ordered: "Give me a seat!"

After Qi Changsheng sat down, he took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, I have sorted out the affairs of the Zongmen Administration Bureau. Especially in the past half a year, I have traveled all over the country, every state in the world, and visited all the sects. .”

"The respective sects and gangs have agreed to join the Zongmen Administration and obey the management of the Zongmen Administration. Of course, my understanding is that the Zongmen Administration is not about managing or commanding the sects, but rather It is that all first-class masters, master-level masters, and even grand masters must be registered for the record, and any changes must be reported in time."

"Besides, the various gangs under the Zongmen Administration must support the rule of the Qi State, and must not betray the Qi State, and there must be no criminals. This is the most basic clause."

"If Qi is invaded by foreign enemies and needs to resist foreign enemies, the imperial court must recruit personnel, and people from various sects must also unconditionally support them, and they cannot shirk."

"On the other hand, as for the safety of the sect, as long as it is registered with the imperial court, the imperial court will manage it and will not allow it to be attacked. There must be no conflicts between sects and sects, or between gangs."

"Now the list of the entire Qi State, as well as the situation in various places, has been completed."

"In addition to setting up the headquarters of the Zongmen Management Bureau in Chang'an, all states and counties in the world also need to set up agencies to manage and keep abreast of the situation of Zongmen. This is roughly the case."

"The heads of organizations at all levels, as well as the list of personnel, have been prepared by veterans. Please read them, Your Majesty."

While talking, Qi Changsheng took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Qi's desk.

Wang Qi took the letter and examined it carefully.

When Wang Qi read the contents of the letter, his expression was slightly surprised, and he said: "Guanzhu Qi, there are more than 130 masters in the world. Does this include the masters in the imperial court?"

Qi Changsheng nodded and said: "Your Majesty, this includes the grandmasters who served the court before. After all, these people used to come from the sect and have the imprint of the sect on them. In fact, after investigation, I was also surprised that there are so many masters at the grandmaster level." .”

"After careful understanding, I found that about half of the people have broken through to the Grandmaster Realm in recent years. It seems that it is easier to break through to the Grandmaster Realm in these years."

"As for the number of great masters, they are not many. Counting His Majesty, Xia Houhu and others, there are only twelve great masters in the world. It is not easy for a great master to break through."

"Even so, the number of grand masters is already quite terrifying."

Qi Changsheng said: "As far as I know, the number of great masters in the past was very small, there must have been seven or eight more. Now there are so many more people. Especially, some great masters have died, and there are still this number."

Wang Qi nodded, and said: "It is a good thing to have so many great masters. For us, it is beneficial to the stability of Qi State. And with such a thorough understanding, the power of the world is also in the hands of the court. Under control."

Qi Changsheng said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Wang Qi said: "Thank you for your hard work, Guanzhu."

Qi Changsheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is not working hard. After all, the old minister is responsible for sorting out the world's martial arts sects. In fact, the more you get in touch with them, the more you feel the old minister and the clearer the way. Therefore, this is beneficial to the veteran. "

Wang Qidao: "Guanzhu Qi's breath is becoming more and more ethereal now, and I can't feel your depth."

Qi Changsheng said: "Your Majesty praises Miao."

Wang Qidao: "Now that all the investigations have been completed, the Zongmen Administration Bureau will be officially established. The Zongmen Administration Bureau is under the Ministry of Rites. The head of the Zongmen Administration Bureau is the director of the Administration Bureau. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, second only to the Ministry of Rites Shangshu."

"As for the state level and the county level, these are arranged in turn, ending at the county level. Officials at all levels of the Zongmen Administration must be loyal to the imperial court and cannot be people who bend the law for personal gain."

Wang Qidao: "This is what I want from the Zongmen Administration."

Qi Changsheng said: "I obey."

For Qi Changsheng, he doesn't really care much about the status of his official residence and what kind of official he is.What he cares about is that now that the Zongmen Administration Bureau is formally established, everything will be different.

For the world's sect, he is the leader of the world, just like the leader of the world's warriors.

In addition, the Three Cleansing Concept also benefits a lot.

Here are the many benefits to be gained.

Wang Qi gave Qi Changsheng an imperial decree, which was the imperial decree for the establishment of the Zongmen Administration, to let the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites cooperate with each other. After all, it involves the arrangement of personnel, and the Ministry of Officials needs to go.Because the Zongmen Administration Bureau is under the Ministry of Rites, it also needs to be arranged.

Qi Changsheng left with the imperial decree, and Wang Qi continued to deal with government affairs.

Time passed in a hurry, and when the afternoon was about to end, Wang Qi took a nap and was about to tease the child. The eunuch hurriedly came to Wang Qi's side and reported: "Your Majesty, Mo Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry asked for an interview and said yes There is a breakthrough, the matter is urgent, and you must see His Majesty immediately."

Wang Qi ordered: "Pass!"

At this moment, Wang Qi also became a little excited. After the Ministry of Industry developed grenades, gunpowder, and landmines, it is now developing cannons and rifles. Wang Qi doesn't have much hope for rifles, but cannons are possible.

And if a cannon is developed, it will be of great help to Qi.

Chapter 799 The Truth Is Within Range

The eunuch went to inform, and after a short time, Mo Liu hurried in.For the past six months or so, most of the time, he spent at the Weapons Research Institute at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, developing new weapons.

Except for things that required his participation, Mo Liu came back for a visit, and the rest of the time, he was almost too busy to prepare for refining new weapons.

After Mo Liu stood still, just as he was about to salute, Wang Qi said, "No, tell me, what's the news?"

Mo Liu said: "Your Majesty, the cannon has been developed. We have done some experiments. The range of the cannon can be aimed at about [-] paces. If it is farther away, it will be troublesome. Moreover, we will also test the gunner's sight. If you are not experienced It is estimated that not to mention [-] steps, [-] steps will be very difficult. But now, it has finally been developed."

After Wang Qi heard it, he never cared about the question of [-] steps or [-] steps.He believed in the talent in the military.As long as the weapons are developed and handed over to the army, it will be enough to change everything.

As for the improvement of the cannon, it came slowly.

Wang Qi ordered: "Let's go, go to Zhongnan Mountain now and have a look at the condition of the weapons."

Mo Liudao: "I obey the order."

Wang Qi hurried out of the palace with Mo Liu, and then a group of people rode on horseback and headed straight for Zhongnan Mountain.Although the distance is a bit far, because of rushing all the way, it didn't take too much time to arrive at the military camp at the foot of the mountain.

The camp has been strictly guarded to prevent the leakage of news.

After all, the development of weapons is very important.Once the weapon is leaked and Cao Xuan is prepared, it will be difficult to achieve a surprise victory.Cao Xuan didn't know that Qi had cannons, so he could win by surprise.

As such, weapons must be kept secret.

After Wang Qi and his group entered, Mo Liu went straight to Da Pao.Because of the mortar manufacturing process and process given by Wang Qi, the mortars developed today are quite mature.

Mo Liu personally demonstrated to Wang Qi, as a cannonball fell into the barrel, there was a loud bang in an instant, the cannonball flew in the air, fell down and exploded.

Explosions like no other.

Not only can you hear the trembling sound from a long distance, but you can also feel the vibration of the ground.There was even a huge pothole left on the ground, which was left by the shells.

Wang Qi saw the effect of the explosion of the shell, and a brilliant expression appeared on his handsome face.Because under the current circumstances, it is quite good to be able to develop such a mortar.

At least, it can satisfy the current military equipment.

Wang Qi personally walked forward to the designated location and carefully inspected the explosion.Because of the explosion just now, the ground was bumpy.

Wang Qi sized it up and said: "For us, with the mortar, we have temporarily achieved our desired goal. Now we have not only defensive weapons, but also offensive weapons. Mo Shangshu, what we need to do now is Make stronger mortars. Mortar shells in particular, I have some ideas."

Mo Liudao: "What's your majesty's idea?"

Wang Qi's eyes showed a trace of ferocity, and he said: "The shells originally used the power of gunpowder to explode, causing the ground to be overturned, the soil to fly, and everything to be repelled."

"This kind of power is only used to injure the enemy with the explosive power of the cannonball, and it has not been developed to the extreme. However, what if some iron pieces or steel needles are mixed in the cannonball?"

"Once the addition is successful, when the shell explodes, these iron pieces and steel needles will become sharp weapons for harvesting lives. Wherever they pass, no one can stop them, and the lethality is extremely tyrannical."

hiss! !

When Mo Liu heard this, he gasped.

It really is so.

Such a weapon is simply impossible to resist.Even as long as it is within the range of the explosion, countless people will be killed and injured.

Mo Liu nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, why didn't the old minister think of it? Such an arrangement seems simple, but in fact, it is quite useful. The power of the shell explosion is tyrannical, driven by this power, it is inevitable Countless murders."

Wang Qidao: "Let's study in this direction."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Mo Liu nodded.

Wang Qi asked: "How is the research on the rifle going?"

The rifle is the most important thing.

According to the information sent back by Li Hongzhong, Cao Xuan's rifle is not the earliest flintlock gun, nor is it a musket that needs to be ignited. It uses a flint to ignite and pull the trigger to shoot.

Such a rifle, after being loaded with bullets, can shoot continuously and is extremely lethal.Qi State has not produced such a weapon for a while, so it has always been in a weak position and has always been at a disadvantage.

Mo Liu was also a little helpless, sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, compared with cannons, rifles are more delicately manufactured, and we haven't made a breakthrough yet. Cannon bores are easier to cast."

"However, the barrel of the gun is not easy to complete. Now we follow the development history of firearms given by His Majesty, starting from the most basic firearms, and advancing step by step."

"My minister strives to complete the research on the rifle earlier. After all, there is no manufacturing equipment in this area. If there are equipment for manufacturing related parts, everything will be different."

Mo Liu said: "Due to various reasons, it is still a bit slow."

Wang Qi said: "Take your time."

After a pause, Wang Qi continued: "Mo Qing, the manufacturing of weapons is very important. But when manufacturing weapons, you must also be careful not to be careless. This kind of weapon manufacturing is different from swords, guns, swords and halberds. Once it explodes or loses control, People are going to die. So be careful, be careful."

Mo Liudao: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have been reminding you all the time. Every day when you start work, the old minister must remind everyone to have this concept and not have the slightest carelessness. Because a negligence will not only cause casualties, but also It makes the parents, wives and children at home sad, and even the people who work together may be injured."

Wang Qidao: "With Mo Qing's arrangement, I can rest assured. Mortars are now mass-produced as soon as possible. Because once a war starts, a large number of weapons will be needed."

Mo Liudao: "Old minister obeys!"

Wang Qi said: "Qing Mo, whether it is the breakthrough of grenades, landmines, or the breakthrough of mortars today, it is all due to the country of Qi."

"All the personnel who study weapons will be credited. You are arranging it in the research institute now, and all of them will be rewarded. For this reward, you will make a statement and submit it, and I will arrange it."

"At least, let everyone have a little hope. I stayed in the research institute all day long and never saw the light of day. The court remembered them and never forgot their meritorious deeds."

Mo Liudao: "Old minister, thank Your Majesty Long En."

Wang Qi waved his hand and said: "Okay, you are busy with your business, so don't come and see it off, I will leave by myself."

Mo Liudao: "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."

Wang Qi left with his entourage, and it was already evening when he returned to the court.But now it is summer, and it gets dark even later, so Wang Qi directly ordered someone to notify Xiao Qingzhi to enter.

After the First World War in Central Shu, Yang Shanjun stayed in Chengdu and was in charge of Bashu.

After all, Yang Shanjun has enough ability.

He is a veteran in the army.

As for Xiao Qingzhi, he led his troops back to the court.

Today, Yan Chixing is still stationed in Yangzhou, responsible for the security of Yangzhou, as well as taking care of Jingzhou and Xuzhou.In Bingzhou, Li Sheng was still in charge.Only the general in Youzhou, Wang Zongxi, no longer sits in the township, and replaces Nie Feng, who transfers Nie Feng away, to Yuyang County to sit in the township.

Xiao Qingzhi is in charge of the Chang'an area.

This is the situation of the five major military regions in the world.

Xiao Qingzhi was dressed in armor, he hurried in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Qingzhi."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Now I invite you to come, it is the weapon of our Qi State, which has been reformed. Now Qi State's tactics also need to be adjusted. So this time, select soldiers from the Chang'an Military Region under your jurisdiction for drills. .”

"The new weapons to be practiced now need to be kept secret, so there is no rush to arrange for the other major military regions to participate. After you are familiar with the training here, you will transfer the backbone to the military regions to teach."

Wang Qidao: "At that time, you will naturally be able to get used to the current weapons in the shortest possible time."

Xiao Qingzhi didn't know, so he said: "Your Majesty, what kind of weapon is it? According to my opinion, no matter what weapon, it is not as powerful as a master at the master level, right? Now in the army, the minister mainly gathers together a few masters at the master level, Let them train tacit understanding so that they can form the strongest combat effectiveness. In the matter of siege, with such people around, siege and breakthrough, even assassination and assassination, are all beneficial."
