I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

The New Year's Eve dinner eaten by the emperor is naturally very exquisite.The long rosewood table is covered with an exquisite tablecloth embroidered with gold thread, and the dishes are also very rich, including roast suckling pig, fat duck, tender chicken, red wine foie gras, pork knuckle, bird’s nest and shark’s fin, etc. 81 dishes, like a buffet in a five-star hotel in modern society.

Xiao Huangmen first served soup to the emperor, and then served dishes one by one.According to the order of etiquette, there can be no chaos. The emperor always has to follow the rules, and he can't do whatever he wants with such a table of dishes.After the emperor finished eating, he would also give the dishes and plates to the courtiers whom he relied on on weekdays as a reward.

Liu Xie was still too lazy to abide by the rules of the emperors of all dynasties: "This one, and these few stay, and the rest will be divided equally among the ministers and ministers, and send them over." After finishing speaking, Liu Xieping stepped back: "You Go down too, go to bed early, there is no need to arrange people to wait on duty tonight."

Although it is not in line with the etiquette, Liu Xie's control in the palace is very strong.These little Huangmen and the palace maids all understood that anyone who used the former etiquette system to block His Majesty's orders would definitely be investigated within a few days.At least some money was sent out, and if he happened to do something wrong, at worst he would not be able to avoid prison.Therefore, with the order, these people all retreated obediently.

Liu Xie rolled up his sleeves and began to eat his elbows.The first bite of any delicious food is always very satisfying and wants to continue, but the marginal utility of eating is diminishing. When only half of an elbow is left, Liu Xie feels dull.

Usually eating alone doesn't feel like much, but on this special day, Liu Xie was inevitably sentimental.Hearing the sound of firecrackers in the distance, the delicious food in his hand felt unsavory.He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, looking at the bright moon outside the hall, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's no wonder that Li Bai expresses his emotion towards the moon every time. As expected, he raises his head to look at the bright moon and bows his head to think of his hometown." He added another glass of wine leisurely, respected the shadow, and drank it down.

It's a pity that reality never gives people sad time.Xiao Huangmen poked his head at the entrance of the main hall, his face was full of embarrassment.

Liu Xie said angrily: "Get out, what's the point of being sneaky?"

Xiao Huangmen hurriedly confessed: "Your Majesty, it's the flying pigeons from the front that have arrived. I'm worried that Your Majesty's New Year's Eve dinner will be unsatisfactory, so I dare not come in."

Liu Xie said in a cold voice: "Since I said that I will report immediately if there is a major military incident, I won't blame you for waiting, so bring it here."

"promise!"

Cao Cao and Yuan Shu attacked Qingzhou and occupied Donglai County when everyone was preparing for the festival.

On that day, Kong Ni, governor of Yuzhou, rebelled and was defeated. Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were defeated. They dragged the remnants of the defeated army and defected to Yuan Shao in Jizhou.The notion that concubine and concubine are different is deeply rooted in a big family like the Yuan family in Runan.Yuan Shu was high-spirited, and as a legitimate son, he always looked down on Yuan Shao's half-brother who was born to a handmaiden.However, suffering from the pressure of public opinion, Yuan Shu was given a position with a name but no authority.

Where is Yuan Shu willing?Together with Cao Cao, who was also suspected and despised by Yuan Shao, he set his sights on Qingzhou.Most of Qingzhou's troops were restrained by the Yellow Turban Army, and they were unable to counterattack for a while. The local civilian guards hurriedly flew pigeons to send letters to the court.

Liu Xie frowned: "It's Cao Cao and Yuan Shu again." He couldn't relax for a moment.

Fighting such rebellious ministers and thieves must be fought, otherwise the heroes will be divided and the emperor will be unable to control them, others will definitely learn from them, and the world will be in chaos.It's just that the source of this force is really a headache.Moreover, the deployment of troops will definitely affect the sowing of spring next year, which in turn will affect the grain harvest of the world.

Insufficient people and insufficient food are really tricky.Liu Xie looked at it for a while and asked, "Have you arrived at Bingzhou's military love letter and Feige letter?"

Another small yellow door rushed in from the door: "Report to Your Majesty, the letter from Feige from Bingzhou has just arrived."

"Bring it."

Because it was the New Year's Eve, it was inconvenient for Liu Xie to recruit all his courtiers into the palace to work overtime overnight.He put on his own clothes, went straight to the front hall of Weiyang Palace, and thought about the map of the thirteen states in the world hanging in the hall for most of the night.

Early the next morning, Liu Xie couldn't wait to summon the important ministers to discuss the military situation.

A minister of the Ministry of War suggested: "Now the morale of the Bingzhou army is like a rainbow, and the flag is triumphant. You can wait for them to repair a little and attack Qingzhou, kill Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's rebels, so as to stabilize the world."

Chen Gong objected: "There are few soldiers in Bingzhou. Except for the army that stays to guard against the Huns, I am afraid that they will not be able to mobilize many people. It is better to wait for the spring to sow the army and mobilize the army from the Central Plains. Since Kong Ni was defeated, Liu Dai in Yanzhou feared that the court would Rat, ordered him to send [-] troops to attack Qingzhou, he must dare not refuse."

"Jingzhou can also mobilize about [-] soldiers." Xun You suggested: "Now that most of Jingzhou is stable, it is not difficult to mobilize troops. In addition, both Yangzhou and Xuzhou can mobilize troops, as long as they do not exceed tens of thousands. It will not have a major negative impact on farming."

Huang Wan asked for orders: "It's freezing cold today, so it's not a good time to trek and attack the city. When the spring comes, I am willing to lead three thousand elite soldiers to help Qingzhou suppress the rebellion."

The elite soldiers in Beijing have first-class equipment and training, and the quality of soldiers is also high. They are all elites with one against three.It is the most efficient to attack these elites, but it would be a pity if they were damaged outside.

Liu Xie nodded: "According to what you said first, the military order to deploy troops will be issued first, so as to give the local area enough time to prepare. The Han army is in full swing in Bingzhou, and the recovery of the entire Bingzhou is just around the corner. Now most of the Xiongnu's elite forces have been wiped out by the Han army. , for at least 20 years, the Xiongnu's vitality will be severely injured, and they will no longer be able to launch a large-scale invasion of the palace. As long as Bingzhou Chuping, Tian Feng can lead those black Yan troops who surrendered to Beijing to receive rewards, and then break up and organize in Huang Among Wan's three thousand elite soldiers, they attacked Qingzhou together."

He thought about it, there is a threat from the Hulu in the north, Jizhou has not settled down among the thirteen prefectures in the world, and Yizhou has recently become disobedient, and the Liangzhou and Yanzhou courts have to guard against it.

Especially recently, Xiliang Ma Teng has sent a small group of troops to plunder in Chang'an, Xijing, as if testing the bottom line of the imperial court, which is really infuriating.

Under internal and external troubles, Liu Xie, who was under great pressure, thought of improving weapons in an unconventional way, and crushed the princes by force.In the imperial court of the group of ministers, the rest was from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month, while Liu Xie spent every day in the firearms factory.After starting to go to court, Liu Xie also inspected the firearms factory every day.

The predecessor of the firearms factory was the alchemy room of the alchemists. When Dong Zhuo was there, Liu Xie gave him special privileges to designate a site in a remote palace in Beigong for them to develop black powder.

With the increasing variety of products and mass production, the palace could no longer meet the needs of their business development. The manufacturing site of this firearm was first moved to the smelter. Later, with the repeated expansion of the scale, Liu Xie specially designated a large A piece of land for them to make a factory.

In recent days, according to Liu Xie's description, the firearms factory has manufactured "bursting guns".

But Liu Xie was not satisfied with this, it was just a rudimentary musket.The firearms factory uses a huge bamboo tube as the barrel, and puts ammunition in it. After the long fuse is ignited, the bullet can be shot out of the barrel, and the range can reach four to five hundred steps, far exceeding the bow and arrow.

However, this has obvious weaknesses. Firstly, it is easy to explode the chamber, and secondly, it cannot shoot continuously, so the efficiency is very low.Liu Xie ordered the smelter to smelt the gun barrel in the shape of a bamboo tube, but it was still easy to explode.

Liu Xie balds every day thinking about it: "Ming Ming and Yuan Dynasties improved it into a powerful torch based on this, and Ming Dynasty made red cannons, which link in the middle is missing?"

Had to spend a lot of money to offer a reward for a solution to the bombing.
