Go back to ancient times to be God of War

Qi Yang is now an official at any rate, even if he has no common sense, just looking at the scarlet robe on the old man's body, he knows that he is a high-ranking official, and his heart suddenly skips a beat.

Just say that you want to support the firearms battalion, why don't you just issue an order, the original difficulty lies here...

After making up his mind, Qi Yang bowed his hands and saluted: "I dare not do it, please advise me, sir."

Seeing his calm expression, He Xiu looked at the young man a few times in his heart, but his mouth was still merciless, and he paced and said: "General Xiao Qi holds... the firecracker, which weighs about ten. Five catties, my Great Xia has a total of more than 300 million soldiers, among these people, if you want to form a considerable firearms team, you need at least more than [-] firearms soldiers, right?"

Qi Yang was highly concentrated, and quickly passed the numbers on both sides of his head to confirm that there were no traps—this literati likes to go around when talking, and he has no place to cry when he accidentally falls into a pit Go - then he nodded cautiously.

Old He Ge narrowed his eyes, and suddenly a faint smile appeared on his face.

Qi Yang secretly thought it was bad!

Sure enough, He Xiu dropped several bombs/bombs as soon as he opened his mouth: "General Xiao Qi is not in his position, so he doesn't plan his own affairs. Maybe he doesn't know how much iron ore I produce in a year in Daxia?"

"The most important thing is." He Xiu stroked her snow-white beard, pointed at the target meaningfully and said, "General Xiao Qi wiped out an army of [-] at Huiyang Mountain Pass last time, if this army is moved to the vast plain Come on... can this firecracker still have such a great effect?"

After finishing speaking, He Xiu did not forget to make a final sentence as a conclusion: "It is a good thing to have a heart to serve the country, but it is best to think more about everything, otherwise it is a trivial matter to lose a war, and it will drag down the great cause of the country. It's... the most inappropriate."

As expected of an old fox, although this old He Ge had never fought in battle, he actually pointed out the most important problems that Qi Yang's firearms battalion is facing now.In the end, I didn't forget to put on a big hat of delaying Guozuo. It was a dilemma. Even if Emperor Yongjia wanted to defend it, he couldn't say anything at the moment.

As a general, Qi Yang himself has never thought about these issues, but He Ge is honest and cunning, and his ability to secretly change concepts is first-rate. He Xiu skipped several stages of getting used to it and went straight to perfection, but now he has lost the opportunity. Letting He Xiu say this, no matter how he refute it, it seems whimsical.

As he expected, as soon as He Xiu's words fell, the lord and ministers of the entire hall seemed to feel a sense of relief on their shoulders, and some of them were a little lower, and even hung up the kind of "I knew it, see how you go down." With a smug expression, he stared at Qi Yang as if watching a joke.

"What Elder He Ge said is true!"

"My minister agrees!"

"General Xiao Qi, tell everyone about it?"

Only then did Qi Yang match up the old man of this rank with the legendary elder He Xiu, and secretly said badly in his heart.

I'm afraid this is not going to get better.

The relationship between He Xiu and Qi Dashi is delicate, the two of them are leading the war and the other is peace, a military general is leading the head of the civil servants, and they have always been political enemies who will never die. Now meeting Qi Yang, it is not that enemies meet each other. jealous?Both General Qi Dashi and Xie Tingchun had reminded him of this character, but he didn't expect that he was out of luck, and hit the muzzle as soon as he came up.

After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Qi Yang made up his mind.

However, when he was about to speak, Qi Yang caught a glimpse of the corner of the blue official robe from the corner of his eyes, and a slender figure took a step forward, standing in front of him.

"What Master He said is very true." Xie Tingchun saluted respectfully, and put on an elegant and modest smile on his face: "However, this time, I also brought some things with me when I met the saint. My lord, I don't know if my lord is interested in learning about it?"

He Xiu frowned unobtrusively. He had never been used to the grandson Xie Honglang. At such a young age, his superficial smile was exactly the same as that of his grandfather. He had fought with Xie Honglang for most of his life, thank you Hong Lang has a helper surnamed Qi, who keeps pushing him over the head, until he is seventy and eighty before finally fighting Xie Honglang. Unexpectedly, this old man gave birth to a little fox to continue jumping. It hurts his eyes to look at it too much .

Emperor Yongjia seemed very happy when he saw this, and he said briskly: "Exactly, Xie Aiqing, but it's okay to say."

The emperor had already spoken, and he couldn't be too shameless. Elder He Ge reluctantly made a gesture to listen attentively, only to see the kid in front of him show that smirk that he hated most, and directly took out something the size of a slap.

Qi Yang: Mingming changed the clothes together in the morning... When did he put them in? !

He Gelao and the others took a closer look and found that the thing was ugly, and it was a metallic shiny stone the size of a palm.

"This." Xie Tingchun pushed the stone forward unhurriedly: "It's high-quality iron ore. During my tenure in Changshan Mansion, I went to remote counties and cities in the mansion several times to investigate, and found that there was a stone in the nearby barren hills. There is a piece of red on it, there is a cloud in "Guanzi", there is iron on the mountain, and there is iron under the mountain, so I led the government officials to use Cishi to test it. Sure enough, a huge iron ore vein was found in the depression. According to the direction of the underground water flow, it is conservatively estimated that the iron ore vein The range can cover the entire southwestern direction of Longxi."

Just as he was talking, Xie Tingchun quickly opened a map, pointed at a highland on the edge of the western border with his slender fingers, and slowly drew a circle.

All the officials present held their breath, watching the finger slowly slide across the Longxi Grassland, across the Changshan Mansion, across the border, and finally extended to the territory of Yi Kingdom, making a big circle.

"Once mined, the iron ore output of Daxia will be at least doubled, and," Xie Tingchun raised his head meaningfully, pointing to the large area in Yi Kingdom: "If the Longxi Grassland can be recovered, the The whole piece... can be used by my big summer!"

While talking, Xie Tingchun put the iron ore on the table in front of him with a "boom", the black iron block exuded a shiny metallic luster.There was brilliance in a pair of eyes, and the words seemed that that day was already in front of them.

The eyes of Emperor Yongjia and the ministers were a little bit wrong now.

Daxia is short of iron ore, so it can barely support itself, and occasionally buys from Yiguo.However, according to the range drawn by Xie Tingchun, if the entire piece of iron ore can be mined, the output can be doubled, not to mention... once the Longxi Grassland is recovered, the huge ore veins can be obtained!

Seeing that everyone was about to move, Xie Tingchun smiled slightly, hiding his merits and fame, and smoothly brought the topic back to the firecracker.

"At that time, don't say that you will be equipped with a hundred thousand musketeers." He smiled and waved his sleeves: "Even if it is a million, there will be no pressure!"

There were whispers in the hall.

Qi Yang looked to the side in amazement, Xie Tingchun had only told him that he had found an iron ore vein before, how could he know that it was a giant ore vein spanning several prefectures and two countries, if such a vein was easy to be found, it would have been a long time ago It has been mined countless times, but the one discovered by Xie Tingchun is still intact, so the difficulty of finding and exploring can be imagined.

In addition, the position of Tong Zhi is not specialized in salt and iron, Xie Tingchun must have been thinking about paving the way for his firearms camp after so much effort to explore...

Seeing Xie Tingchun standing in front of him, pointing Jiangshan, and berating Fang Qiu, Qi Yang had a deep understanding for the first time. The young man in front of him was no longer the child who asked him for a parting gift and hadn't grown up yet. .

But an indomitable and talented man.

As the eldest brother, being protected in this way, Qi Yang could only feel a hot current gushing out of his heart, nourishing his limbs and bones, and a sense of pride rushed straight into his chest, he stepped forward and stood in the middle of the hall!

"My Majesty, Mr. Xie has made it very clear about the source of the iron ore. As for the question about the range and power that Mr. He just raised, I also have something to say."

Emperor Yongjia was immersed in the beautiful blueprint drawn by Xie Tingchun with a swipe of his pen, reluctant to let go, when he heard Qi Yang's voice piercing into his ears, he suddenly felt a little curious, waved his hand and said: "Yes."

Qi Yang got up after Xie En, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face: "Can you please move the emperor and your lords outside the hall? This thing in the hand of the last general is very powerful. If it is used inside the hall, it may easily damage the hall."

The main hall of the early dynasty can accommodate all civil and military officials, and the length and width are more than a hundred paces. What is so amazing that it can't even accommodate this magnificent hall?

He Xiu narrowed her old eyes and had a bad premonition in her heart.

And when he came to the huge square outside the palace surrounded by the ministers, this bad feeling reached its peak.

Xie Tingchun was also quite curious, and saw that Qi Yang and the eunuchs moved out a huge wooden box, which was one of the luggage that Qi Yang carried with him when he went to Beijing that day. At first, he thought it was just some ammunition/powder or firecrackers. , Unexpectedly, the wooden boxes were opened layer by layer, and a strange iron frame appeared in front of everyone. When combined, it was as tall as a person, and a row of dark square iron cylinders were placed on the iron frame.

"This is……"

Xie Tingchun watched Qi Yang stuff several giant projectiles with a diameter as wide as two palms into the bottom of the iron cylinder, and suddenly felt blessed.

Qi Yang gave him a comforting smile, and aimed the iron cylinder at a corner of the square.

A full six or seven hundred steps away from here, there is a huge mound of earth that was piled up because the lake was being dug in the palace.

"Please also cover your ears with the emperor and all adults." Qi Yang kindly reminded: "The tighter the better."

It's okay if he didn't remind, but when he reminded, everyone put their hearts in their throats. At this time, no matter what the image was, even He Xiu hesitated to plug his ears and eyes with his fingers, and a group of young eunuchs swarmed around Emperor Yongjia. On the top, only the entire head of Emperor Yongjia was tightly wrapped.

For a time, the entire square was full of people who "I don't listen, I don't listen".

The scene was a little funny for a while.

Seeing this, Qi Yang took the torch and ignited the fuze without hesitation. The tongue of flame quickly rolled over the rope. In an instant, the sound was like thunder, and the flames soared into the sky. Everyone saw a fireball flying into the sky at an incredible speed. Flying forward quickly, it just landed on that small dirt hill, only heard a loud "boom", sand and stone flew into the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

After the thick smoke dissipated, the terrified ministers looked in the direction of the fireball, their eyes widened instantly, and a pair of tricks almost came out of the box——

A dirt mountain with a height of tens of feet was razed to the ground in an instant!

"How is it, Mr. He?" Qi Yang asked respectfully with his back facing the earth mountain that had been blown to pieces, "I wonder if such power can catch Mr. He's eyes?"

He Xiu: ...what else can he say!

Someone first, help the old man get up from the ground!

"Good! Hahaha! Good!" Seeing this, Emperor Yongjia clapped his palms and laughed, shook off the little eunuchs around him, and walked two steps staggeringly. His voice was a little hoarse, I don't know if it was because he was too excited: "My country ..."

"What's the name of this thing?" After calming down for a moment, Emperor Yongjia regained the indifferent look that an emperor should have, turned around and asked, but his eyes were still shining with excitement.

Qi Yang really didn't have time to name this thing, thought about his source of inspiration, and tentatively replied: "Your Majesty, the name of this thing is——Italian Cannon."

"Italian cannon?" Emperor Yongjia's two gray eyebrows were tightly twisted together, he seemed very dissatisfied with Qi Yang's incomprehensible name, and waved his hand: "Your naming level is much worse than your father's." , In my opinion, this object is shaped like a cloud-piercing arrow, and when it is sprayed, the flames soar into the sky, why not change its name and call it 'Rocket'."

Rocket……

Qi Yang instantly thought of General Qi Dashi who named the Fire Gun Tank "Train".

No wonder Emperor Yongjia said that his naming level was not as good as Qi Dashi's. It turns out that these two people are truly like-minded and have the same taste!

Having seen the power of the "rocket" and the map of iron mines provided by Xie Tingchun, no one in the Manchu dynasty can comment on the main battle anymore. Emperor Yongjia made a decision on the spot: "Pick Qi Yang as the chief admiral of the firearms battalion. , Xie Tingchun is the admiral of the Firearms Battalion, and from now on, the Ministry of Finance will allocate funds to exploit the iron mines in Longxi to manufacture firecrackers, and wait for the opportunity to start a war next year! What do you love dears think?"

"Emperor Shengming!"

Under the leadership of Lu Kan and others, all civil and military officials immediately knelt down and shouted long live.

It's all like this, can you still resist?

Old He Ge's complexion was not good, and he was suffocated at first sight, and he took the lead to leave angrily after retreating.

The rest of the officials, big and small, went out of the palace gate one by one, and Qi Yang was also among the crowd. It wasn't until he was completely outside the fiery palace wall that he breathed a sigh of relief and found that not only his palms, but even his back were covered with bruises. Drenched in sweat.

"It's your first time meeting the saint, are you a little nervous?"

A kind voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Qi Yang raised his head in surprise, and found a thin official in scarlet robe beside him stroking his beard and looking at him with a smile on his face, his expression was very kind.

"Master Lu." Qi Yang hurriedly saluted, and replied a little embarrassedly: "There are indeed some."

The person who came was one of the core figures of the main combat faction, Lu Kan, Xie Tingchun's teacher, looked quite smug at the moment with raised brows and eyes, even the gaze that fell on Qi Yang was extraordinarily kind.

Seeing that he was honest, Lu Kan laughed twice, and patted him on the shoulder: "Just get used to it in the future."

Qi Yang heard that he was secretly flattering himself, so he said politely twice that he didn't dare, Lu Kan didn't know why, seeing his expression became more cheerful, and asked casually: "Didn't my family come with me when I came to Beijing this time? The capital is a good place, if your family members are here, you might as well go around more, my wife is also from Changshan Prefecture, and I like to gather with fellow villagers."

Qi Yang is a single dog, his family members come from somewhere, so he has no choice but to express regret, the weird thing is that Lu Kan doesn't seem to feel sorry at all, on the contrary, he seems very happy, and he said goodbye and left after a few more casual greetings.

At this time, Xie Tingchun, who was following behind the team, finally left the palace gate, and the two boarded the carriage back to Xie's mansion together.

"That was the teacher just now?" Xie Tingchun seemed to catch a glimpse of Lu Kan's shadow, seeing him talking to Qi Yang, his heart suddenly jumped for some reason, and quickly asked: "Did he say anything to you, big brother?"

"Huh? No." Qi Yang was a little puzzled: "It's just a few homely words. Mrs. Lu's wife is also from Changshan Prefecture. She probably wanted to ask about the current situation in her hometown."

Hearing this, Xie Tingchun put his heart back into his stomach. Seeing the sweat on both sides of Qi Yang's cheeks, he reached out to help him wipe it off, with a bit of aggrieved expression on his face: "Brother, that 'Italian Cannon' is so majestic today, I didn't even know that big brother brought this with him when he came to Beijing."

When he was in the palace just now, he just felt lucky, now that the crisis is over and he is out of the palace, Xie Tingchun just came back to his senses, sour water gushing in his heart.

Such an important thing has been made, why didn't you mention it to me?

Seeing his behavior, Qi Yang felt a little funny and cute, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to scratch his nose like when he was a child: "Silly boy, if everything is really safe, can I not tell you?"

Speaking of this, Qi Yang also felt a wave of fear in his heart, and said with emotion: "Actually, today is also the first time I have successfully fired a cannon/shell... This thing has only just been made, and it has not been debugged. , every time before the test, either the chamber exploded, or it failed to hit."

Xie Tingchun: ...

"Then why did the elder brother stand up again? He is too careless!" Xie Tingchun was also afraid for a while, and his heart ached terribly. If the cannonball didn't succeed, wouldn't the elder brother have to suffer, or it would be a disgrace. !

"You have protected me so much, how can I let you stand in front alone?" Qi Yang smiled, piercing Xie Tingchun's tiger skin with one word: "I think you are not the same, if I remember correctly , Changshan Mansion has been in a tight financial situation recently, and they simply don't have the ability to explore such a large area of ​​iron ore, let alone mine it. If you are not cautious, aren't you more bragging than me?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Xie Tingchun's eyes.

Didn't expect him to see all of this...

The iron mine is of course real, but he was called back to Beijing urgently before he had finished exploring the entire area of ​​Changshan Mansion. The reason why he dared to draw the scope of the iron mine firmly in front of the imperial court was thanks to the memory of his previous life. In Changshan, someone mined the largest iron mine ever recorded in history, but at that time, Changshan was no longer in the territory of Xia Kingdom, and Yi Kingdom took advantage of it for nothing.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly laughed in unison.

"After a long time, we turned out to be two empty-handed white wolves." Qi Yang smiled with tears in his eyes, and leaned in the car after a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, he came out of the palace with all his beards and tails. Buddha bless."

"Today, the Holy Majesty's meaning is that we can withstand the pressure of the lord and Pai Hege and other powerful officials, no matter what means are used." Xie Tingchun couldn't help shaking his head when he thought of this: "It's right not to be cautious. , if it is prudent, and was refuted by Mr. He Ge, sending troops will not accomplish anything, how can the Holy Majesty give us good fruit when we turn around?"

Qi Yang shook his head slightly, straightened up suddenly, and said solemnly: "Li Nu, I really want to thank you today, if there is anything I, Qi Yang, can help in the future, I will go through fire and water."

Xie Tingchun did not speak.

After a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Qi Yang's finger, and directly pressed it forcefully on his heart.

The chest under the fingers is already as thick as a man, and is no longer thin. Qi Yang's fingers can even clearly feel the steady and powerful heartbeat, and his fingertips can't help but feel hot. Can't take it off.

"Don't say thank you to me, brother." Xie Tingchun's voice suddenly became low: "I don't want you to go through fire and water."

His voice became lower and lower, and finally he seemed to be muttering to himself, but his pair of dark and deep eyes still stubbornly stared at Qi Yang.

"As long as you always remember to owe me, okay?"

**

After arriving at Xie Mansion, Qi Yang went through the gate first, as Xie Tingchun still had some things to do, he left directly in a carriage.

Looking at the back of the carriage drifting away, Qi Yang couldn't help but tighten his lips.

Xie Tingchun's deep voice echoed all over his head, and in the blink of an eye, his dark eyes would appear in front of him.

For some reason, the raccoon slave just now always made him feel very strange, and even... a little flustered.

The right eyelid suddenly twitched, Qi Yang sighed, and stroked the Buddhist beads on his wrist, the soft touch slowly calmed his disordered heartbeat, just as he was about to walk into the courtyard, the old man of Xie's mansion The housekeeper suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost.

"Little General Qi." The old housekeeper said with a respectful and humble expression, "The old man wants to invite you over to talk."

Father?Li Nu's grandfather?What did he ask himself to do?

Qi Yang was confused for a moment, but he was an elder after all, there was no reason why he should not go down, so he agreed, followed the old housekeeper around, and once again walked into the small garden that he had visited yesterday.

Mr. Xie Honglang still had that energetic appearance, wearing a majestic soap-colored brocade robe, and put on a kind smile the moment he saw him.

"Good boy, sit down." Mr. Xie smiled slightly, and without being a joke, he directly entered the topic: "How old is this year?"

"Twenty to five." Qi Yang was not sure whether Xie Honglang just wanted to talk to him about family affairs, or had some deep meaning, so he had to answer honestly.

"Well, it's not too young." Xie Honglang nodded, took a sip of tea slowly, and showed him a kind smile: "That boy Dashi is very careless, and he can't think of such things on weekdays. I'm also yours." Elder, I will mention it to you today, someone asked me to be a matchmaker for you, what do you think?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

From then on, the Firearms Battalion under General Xiao Qi had two teams.

One, called the train team.

One, called Team Rocket...
