"Someone else? He Ruoqiuti?" Luo Junyao thought about it again and asked with a smile.
Xie Yan held her slender plain hand and smiled without saying a word.
No need for him to answer, Luo Junyao already understood.
She leaned into Xie Yan's arms and asked enthusiastically: "Are you so sure that He Ruoqiuti and his mother clan can win the battle with King Gaoyu?"
Xie Yan said calmly: "King Gaoyu was able to successfully support Heruomuti because he had unique prestige in Gaoyu. But now, this premise no longer exists. King Gaoyu can't even control the situation in the royal city.
And He Ruomuti... is not only his helper to get him back, but also the trouble he planted for himself."
Luo Jun smiled and said, "Ayan is so awesome."
Xie Yan said softly: "I don't like defeating the enemy in this way."
In essence, Xie Yan is still a general. As a general, he prefers to defeat the enemy openly and completely on the battlefield, rather than rely on conspiracy and calculation. However, he is not a hot-blooded young man, so he naturally knows what has to be done.
Compared with personal preference, the most important thing is to make Da Sheng bleed less.
"Why?" Luo Junyao was puzzled, "Isn't it great that you can get the results you want without having to fight? Many people will die in a war."
Luo Junyao put his arm around his waist and said, "I don't want you and dad to go to war."
There was silence in the royal study for a while, and then Xie Yan chuckled softly and said, "Shao Yao is right, but I thought wrong."
"A Yan is not wrong." Luo Jun said: "I know what A Yan thinks. A Yan has worked hard."
Politicians and soldiers are inherently two extremes.
But Xie Yan, after all, switched between each other and even merged with Guangtong in an extreme period of time. Soldiers pursue defeating the enemy on the battlefield, while politicians pursue a balance of interests and obtain the maximum results at the minimum cost.
In both aspects, Xie Yan stands at the highest position in Dasheng.
Compared with the regent, Xie Yan obviously prefers the identity of the general who governs the country.
Envoy Gao Yu did not keep Xie Yan waiting for too long. A few days later, envoy Gao Yu submitted his credentials again, expressing his agreement to the conditions proposed by Da Sheng.
Gao Yu was willing to give all the land west of the Guna River to Da Sheng as an apology.
As expected, Xie Yan and the officials in the DPRK were no longer in trouble. On the same day, someone respectfully took He Ruomu out of the prison and sent him to the Gaoyu people's embassy in Shangyong City.
Heruomuti had been a prisoner for several months, and he looked much thinner, but had no external injuries. It was obvious that he had not been treated harshly during these days.
"Thank you to the Prince Regent for showing mercy." In the study room of the Prince Regent's palace, Heruomuti looked solemn and said with cupped hands.
Xie Yan said calmly: "Your Majesty, please take a seat."
He Ruomuti walked to the side and sat down. There was silence in the study for a long time. He Ruomuti just smiled bitterly and said: "The regent got everything you wanted."
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "The eldest prince should also be happy. Your value in the heart of King Gaoyu is extraordinary." If King Gaoyu can exchange such a large place for it, the value of He Ruomudi is indeed very high.
Even though it is a piece of land that Gao Yu cannot fully control, no one can have too much territory. Sometimes even nominal ownership is crucial.
He Ruomuti smiled and was noncommittal.
Because Dasheng's lion opened his mouth, his situation will only become more difficult after returning to Gaoyu.
"I lost this time. I hope I can have another chance to learn the prince's methods in the future." Heruomuti said solemnly.
Xie Yan said: "We are waiting for you at any time."
"When is the eldest prince planning to set off?" Xie Yan asked bluntly. He Ruomudi's special trip to the Regent's Palace would not be to catch up with him.
He Ruomu said: "We will set off tomorrow."
"That's good. If we go back now, we can still catch up with Gaoyu's year-end festival." Xie Yan nodded and said, "I would like to wish the eldest prince a happy journey." After that, Xie Yan picked up a booklet on the table and handed it to Congratulations.
Jomuti.
He Ruomudi hesitated for a moment before taking it, but did not open it immediately. He just looked at Xie Yan.
Xie Yan said: "The eldest prince may wish to take a look when he has time. It should be of some use to you."
He Ruomuti put away the booklet, stood up and said, "Thank you, farewell."
Ho Ruomute was led out by the steward of the Regent's Palace. As he passed by the garden, he heard bursts of crisp laughter and children's cheers coming from the garden.
Seeing He Ruomuti looking over, the steward smiled and said, "It's your Majesty, the princess and a few young gentlemen playing over there."
He Ruomu said: "The Regent's Palace seems to be very different."
The steward smiled and didn't answer, and He Ruomuti didn't expect him to answer either and followed him outside in silence.
He was really jealous of Xie Yan.
This feeling was not obvious in the past, because although Xie Yan was in a high position and had a lot of troops at that time, what the Dasheng royal family left him was actually a heavy burden and mess. He Ruomute even suspected that Xie Yan might wait
Before he was killed by his enemies, he would have died of exhaustion.
But it had only been a year, and the originally quiet and gloomy Regent's Mansion was filled with laughter and laughter. Even Xie Yan's own state was very different from before.
Although he still has many responsibilities and even more responsibilities and affairs, he seems much more relaxed than before.
Maybe it’s because someone is helping him share the burden, or maybe it’s because someone is accompanying him?
After sending away the Gaoyu envoy, Luo Junyao finally received the attributes sent from the Lin family in Zhangzhou. Along with the letters from the Lin family, there was also a letter from Tantai Feng.
The letters from the Lin family were written by her younger uncle. Lin Chengyu was not in Zhangzhou all year round. The last time I received a letter from him was before Luo Junyao left Shangyong for Qingzhou.
The letter this time was written by Lin Chengyu after he returned from overseas. At sea, he met Tantai Feng, who had also returned south. Only then did Lin Chengyu realize that his little niece had done so many great things. He immediately wrote a letter at sea, and as soon as the ship docked
Then he was sent to Shangyong Lai.
In the letter, Lin Chengyu talked about the current situation of the Lin family in Zhangzhou. The shipbuilding craftsmen of the Lin family felt like they had found a treasure after seeing the blueprints that Luo Junyao had sent over, and they had already started construction. However, such a large ship could not be built in a short time, and it could not be built in a short time.
It takes a lot of time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Chengyu is also very interested in the ocean-going trade that Luo Junyao plans to carry out after the ship is built.
The Lin family is originally engaged in this kind of business. The overseas world is vast, and they can build a larger fleet, more supplies, and even have stronger military support. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it.
In addition, Lin Chengyu also heard about Luo Jinyan's affairs in Huaizhou, and is planning to go to Huaizhou in person recently. If nothing happens, he will come to the capital to visit his niece.
Tantai Feng's letter was much simpler and more concise. Just thanking Luo Junyao for his help, the Tantai family's previous troubles had been completely eliminated. In addition, the fabrics produced by the weaving mill were very popular in the islands surrounding the South China Sea and the surrounding small countries. As for those precious brocades, they were sold out by wealthy local businessmen in Zhangzhou without even leaving the South China Sea.
Tantai Feng said that he still wants to continue to purchase goods.
It is best to have a large amount of luxurious silk and satin, as well as gold, silver and precious stones from the kings and nobles of the South China Sea and overseas countries.
Luo Junyao put away the letter and was very satisfied.
He quickly called Song Huan and others to discuss various matters in the weaving workshop. Now, Song Huan and Lady Luo are basically taking care of the weaving workshop. With the help of Zhao Sisi, Shen Hongxiu and others, the weaving workshop has expanded a lot and is under management. Well organized.
"Shake."
Xie Yan came in from the outside and saw Luo Junyao lying on the table smiling happily. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "What's going on?"
Luo Junyao waved the letter in his hand and said, "Someone wants to buy our loom."
Xie Yan knew that she and the girls had ruined the weaving workshop. Although he usually didn't care about it, he didn't completely let it go. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't Shake Yao not want to sell it before?"
Luo Junyao said: "Before was before, and now is now. These things are difficult to say, easy to say. If you really want to study it, it may not be impossible to study it. Moreover, the workshop cannot just rely on the weaving workshop to make a living. It can do more on its own. Earning some money can also give the workshop masters more motivation to improve and invent other things."
Xie Yan nodded and said, "Shao Yao makes sense."
Luo Junyao said: "Then, I will promise them."
Xie Yan said: "I'm afraid there are not a few people who know that you have a new loom in your hands. Since you have agreed to the merchants in Jiazhou, people from other places will definitely follow suit. The place where Dasheng is really rich in silk fabrics is not Jiazhou. "
Luo Jun shook his chin and said, "Then I have to let them get ready. By the way, what do you want when you come back at this time?"
Xie Yan held a long box in his hand, placed it in front of her and said, "It was just sent by the Arms Research and Manufacturing Department."
Luo Junyao was overjoyed. She hadn't been to the yard over there for almost a month. Last time she went there, she heard that they had made some progress. Is this already done?
Luo Junyao opened the box with some anticipation.
As expected, there was a gun as long as a woman's forearm lying inside. The gun body was very beautiful, and its appearance was almost the same as that of early modern firearms.
The most important thing is that this is not the earlier method where ammunition needs to be loaded from the muzzle, but from the rear.
Luo Junyao thought that if he could give them some more tips, they might be able to create a truly automatic or semi-automatic firearm.
Of course, being able to knead it by hand and being able to mass-produce it are two different things.
But Luo Junyao doesn't mind, difficulties can always be overcome.
Luo Junyao took the gun in his hand and drew it a few times. His slender hands dismantled the gun into a pile of parts at a dizzying speed.
His eyes were bright and he said: "Serial?"
Xie Yan nodded slightly, and Luo Junyao started assembling again, while saying, "Shall we try it?"
Xie Yan whispered: "Go outside the city."
That's right, it's easy to scare people in the city.
Now that the Zhenguo Army is still in Qingzhou, Luo Junyao and Xie Yan went directly to the camp where the Dingguo Army was stationed outside the city. Luo Yun happened to be there too, and after hearing about their intentions, Luo Yun personally led them to the Dingguo Army.
In the valley not far behind the camp.
This location is remote and surrounded by the huge Dingguo Army camp, so it doesn't matter if there is some movement.
Luo Junyao took out his gun, and instead of picking a target, he prepared several rounds at the target not far ahead.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Not far away, the lone dry branch on a tree broke and fell down.
Luo Junyao blinked and looked back at Xie Yan.
Xie Yan said: "I hit five shots, and the shaking was very powerful." The branch was not thick, and only one shot missed at this distance, which was already quite powerful.
Luo Junyao was a little embarrassed and said: "The accuracy is good." The people in the Ordnance Research and Development Department really exceeded her expectations. The performance of this gun is really good.
It's just that she hasn't practiced for too long and her hands are a little raw.
Luo Yun was speechless for a while, and then slowly said: "This is..."
Luo Jun said: "Dad, this was made by a few adults from the Arms Research and Manufacturing Department. Isn't it amazing?"
Luo Yun nodded and said: "It's amazing."
If he was somewhat disapproving last time, Luo Yun was indeed shocked this time.
Luo Yun stared at the tree not far away that looked more and more desolate with its dead branches broken, and said: "This... can it be improved?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Of course it can. Didn't it just come out of the research not long ago? I think it will definitely become more and more powerful."
Luo Yun became interested and raised his eyebrows and asked: "How powerful do you think Yaoyao can do?"
Luo Junyao said: "For example, a lot of bullets can be fired continuously in an instant, or one shot can shoot two or three miles away, or... one shot can crush a beast. In short, I think there are endless possibilities."
Luo Yun and Xie Yan looked at each other, with some ups and downs in their hearts.
Even though they don't know the evolution of weapons in the future, they have to say that they do feel that what Luo Junyao said may come true.
If so, the methods and patterns of war will completely change.
As a military general, Luo Yun was naturally interested in lethal weapons. Even though he was a martial arts master, he usually did not need such assistance.
"Let's go back to the camp and talk." Luo Yun smiled at his daughter and son-in-law: "I will also go to your weapons research and development department to see what weird and weird things they are researching."
Luo Junyao suddenly felt guilty. He looked at Luo Yun who was walking in front and silently shrank to Xie Yan's side.
Xie Yan reached out to hold her hand and patted it gently. As he walked, he asked, "Do you think these things can change the current war situation?"
Luo Jun shook his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Probably, not yet."
Xie Yan asked: "Why?"
Luo Junyao picked up the gun in his hand and said, "It's not easy to make this one, right?"
"Indeed." Xie Yan nodded. Even the best craftsmen in Dasheng had to put a lot of effort into making such a piece, and the yield rate was extremely low.
Luo Junyao said: "So, just relying on one or two or hundreds of guns cannot change the world. Even if the Qi people or Gaoyu people are frightened at first, they will react soon. Moreover, the Qi people
and Gaoyu are both tribes outside the Great Wall. This kind of... range is too short and is not suitable to be used against them. Let those guys continue to work hard. In addition, their efforts are on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is best to improve their basic abilities.
For example, smelting and forging cannot always be polished by a few powerful craftsmen."
"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention to it."
Luo Junyao smiled, looked at the gun in his hand, and hesitated.
Xie Yan said: "Keep this for yourself, they gave it to you specially." In order to thank the Princess Regent for opening up a new world for them.
Luo Junyao also couldn't put it down and said generously: "I'll go back and see if they need help."
