From eunuch to emperor

The man on the street was originally a monk from Zhaoti Temple, named Fa Yuan. He followed Pu Xuan to the country of Us.

When I came back today, Zhaoti Temple has become a market. The monks are dead and scattered, and it no longer has the charm of the past.

A horse passed by, Fa Yuan's eyes moved and he stood up quickly.

The person who just walked past was very familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

"Princess Xiang?"

Fa Yuan finally remembered that the person who just walked over was Shi Jingxiang, Princess of Xixia, Shi Le's favorite daughter.

"What are you looking at?"

A man came over. This man was Ma Qiufeng, an official of Honglu Temple.

Fa Yuan whispered: "I saw Princess Xiang."

Ma Qiufeng sneered and said: "So what if you see her, she has already rebelled. Go find the prince quickly."

Their mission was to enter the city to find out about Shi Le's descendants and recommend the prince as the new King of Xixia.

"After asking around, they said that only Princess Xiang was left, and the rest of the Shi family were killed."

Fayuan was a little discouraged.

"Where are the former monks of Zhaoti Temple? Have they all betrayed?"

Ma Qiufeng looked in the direction of Zhaoti Temple, and Fayuan said: "Those who have died have returned to secular life, and those who have returned to secular life have returned to secular life. There are still people who went to the Zhenfo Temple in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and actually converted to Mojie. It's really ridiculous."

After the scandal broke out in Zhaoti Temple, the monks were ashamed, and those who survived had to hide their names and change their monasteries.

"Look for them again. I heard that there are a few princes living among the people. I will definitely find them."

Ma Qiufeng was unwilling to give in. He believed that there must be descendants of the Shi family.

Fayuan said: "It's useless to be anxious. The Uzbek country only sent 3000 people, which is not enough at all."

"My uncle said that when we come back this time, we will lurk in Xixia and wait for the Us army."

Pu Xuan is not stupid. Three thousand cavalry are simply not enough. They are the vanguard, just to inquire about the situation.

He asked his returned disciples to lurk among the people, looking for the descendants of the Shi family, waiting for King Wusi's eastward expedition.

"Let's go."

Ma Qiufeng watched Shi Jingxiang leave, and Fa Yuan disappeared into the crowd.

...

Sands City.

The houses were still smoking, and the city was full of corpses. The soldiers of Uzbekistan were drinking wine and eating meat, and there were women who were humiliated to death beside them.

Ba and Man were sitting in the prefect's mansion, while Tang Guolong and Pu Xuan were outside, accompanied by Xi Bin and Si Si. Zhang Hua slowly walked into the courtyard holding a musket.

"This is the weapon you want."

Zhang Hua handed over the musket, and Xi Bin shouted to the door: "Puxuan, come in!"

Hearing the voice, Pu Xuan hurried into the prefect's mansion and bowed: "General Xibin."

Xibin pointed at Zhang Hua and said, "What did he say?"

Pu Xuan hurriedly translated.

Ba Heman gestured with the musket and asked, "How to use it?"

Zhang Hua took the musket, pointed it at a target in the distance, and pulled the trigger... Bang!The target was shattered, but nothing could be seen.

"It's amazing, this is it."

Xi Bin remembered that it was this weapon that killed his men in Beicheng.

Ba Heman looked at the musket in surprise and imitated Zhang Hua's example of pulling the trigger.

click!

No bullets flew out.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Baheman questioned.

Zhang Hua said: "Without gunpowder and bullets, it is impossible to shoot."

He ordered people to bring gunpowder and bullets, and Zhang Hua demonstrated how to load the bullets in person.

After loading, Zhang Hua handed over the musket, and Ba Heman pulled the trigger at the target.

boom!

The musket vibrated violently, and the bullet missed its target and hit the wall.

"Good stuff! You Zhou people are very smart."

Ba Heman praised, if the Uzbek country could possess such weapons, the army could become invincible.

"This is what Long Chen invented. It was because of this that our Xixia was breached."

Tang Guolong thought of the past attack on Xixia, and old hatreds surged into his heart.

"There are more powerful weapons, please bring them together."

Xibin still remembers a weapon that can break people into pieces.

"That's an artillery piece. It's too big to move. It's placed outside."

"If General Xibin wants to take a look, we can go outside."

The artillery is ready and placed outside. Zhang Hua is a good dog and works very meticulously.

"Let's go outside and take a look."

Ba and Man held the musket in their hands and strode out.

A cannon statue was placed outside, guarded by three soldiers.

"Is this the one that can break men and horses into pieces?"

Sibin asked.

Zhang Hua nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."

In the past few days, the people of Uzbekistan were busy looting, burning and killing. Only today did they remember to ask about muskets and artillery. Zhang Hua immediately showed them.

"How does this work?"

Sis touched the thick cannon and felt that it was just a big iron lump.

"Please ask some generals to step back, it's very dangerous."

Zhang Hua picked up an iron ball, and the soldiers filled it with gunpowder, compacted it, and then stuffed the iron ball into it.

"ignition!"

Zhang Hua ordered the soldiers to light fires...

boom!

The cannon exploded with a thundering sound, and as thick smoke emerged from the muzzle, a deep dent was made in the wall in the distance.

"so amazing!"

Sith sighed in shock.

If such a shell hits him, it will be impossible for the black shield to block it.

"Long Chen is very powerful. He invented many powerful things."

Pu Xuan shook his head and sighed.

God was unfair and sided with Long Chen. Pu Xuan even slandered him about converting to Buddhism because of this.

"Do you know how to do it?"

Ba Heman looked at Zhang Hua.

"I have heard of the principle, but...making muskets and artillery requires exquisite iron smelting technology."

Baheman laughed and said: "The scimitars of our country are very sharp, and our iron-making technology is no worse than yours."

"What you can do, we can do too."

Xibin said proudly: "When I make such a weapon, I can kill people invisible."

"At that time, I will be the invisible killer Xi Bin!"

Seeing that they liked firearms very much, Zhang Hua said: "General Ba Heman, I suggest you retreat early, leave here, take these firearms back to the Us state, and then attack Dazhou after gathering the army."

"The news that we captured Jinsha City must have reached Yuncheng. If Long Chen comes with troops, we will not be our opponents."

Zhang Hua said this many times, and Tang Guolong and Pu Xuan also tried to persuade him, but Ba Heman didn't listen.

"You all say that Long Chen is very powerful, so I must fight him to see how the most courageous general in the Zhou Dynasty is like."

Ba and Man showed a contemptuous smile.

Xi Bin and Si Si sneered even more.

After plundering for so many days, there was no decent resistance at all, and no powerful generals were encountered. Zhang Hua was lying and threatening.

Tang Guolong and Pu Xuan were speechless. Zhang Hua couldn't say much, so he could only sigh secretly: A bunch of people who don't know whether to live or die. When Long Chen comes, you will all die. No, I can't just wait to die...

"There is another thing that is also very powerful. Bring it here."

Sibin has a good memory. In addition to muskets, artillery, and grenades.

"Okay, that's Zhentian Lei, I'll get it."

Zhang Hua bowed his head and left...

woohoo...

After a few horn blasts, the east city gate opened, and a dozen horses galloped into the city. The leading cavalryman rushed over, jumped off his horse and reported: "General, Long Chen is here!"

Tang Guolong and Pu Xuan were shocked. After many years, they were a little afraid of Long Chen.

"Don't be afraid. They say Long Chen is very powerful. You will only know if you have beaten him. Let's see how capable he is now."

Tang Guolong gritted his teeth. After many years, he wanted to take another look at Long Chen.
