Soon the news that the entire Zhao army was annihilated spread to the capital.
Emperor Zhao looked at the battle report. His body on the dragon throne swayed and he almost couldn't sit still.
The entire army of 200,000 was wiped out!
That’s an army of 200,000 people!
How can firearms be so powerful?!
Even if the enemy's army is several times your own, it's not a problem?
At this time, Emperor Zhao was completely panicked.
Although he is stupid, he also knows that the road to Shu is difficult. Shuzhou is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they failed this time before they became successful, then it will be even harder to succeed in the future!
The most important thing is that his personal eunuch also joined in!
That's a blessing! He has been by his side since before he succeeded to the throne. As long as he raised his hand, he could immediately understand what he wanted to do, and it was not so easy to use!
It cannot be replaced by another eunuch casually.
At this time, many ministers in the hall lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. They all knew that Emperor Zhao was now in panic and rage. Although Zhao had lost a lot of territory before, it was all to She Zhao.
It's an enemy country, so it's not too embarrassing.
This time it was left to the rebels who wanted to rebel!
In the more than sixty years of Zhao State, two large-scale rebellions occurred one after another. How could Emperor Zhao not be angry?
What's more important is that as long as the enemy country provides many benefits, it will not easily threaten his rule, but rebellion does not!
They are here with the real intention of replacing you!
Emperor Zhao's throne was hard-won. You can take away everything from him but not his throne.
He raised his head and looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and asked, "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry, I ordered you to develop firearms, how did you do?"
When the Minister of Industry heard what Emperor Zhao said, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Reporting to your majesty, although gunpowder was born out of fireworks, it is not fireworks after all. Even the Zhou State took a year and a half to successfully research it, and its power is not as powerful as that of the Chu State."
It’s far away, I still need some time now.”
Emperor Zhao heard the words of the Minister of Industry and said in a deep voice: "You step up the development of firearms for me! From now on, whatever your Ministry of Industry lacks, I will give you whatever it is! Call on all the skilled craftsmen of Zhao State to develop firearms for me as soon as possible.
!”
Naturally, the Minister of Industry did not dare to refute at this moment and quickly said yes.
But even though the Minister of Industry said so, how could firearms be so easily researched?
Both Chu and Zhou were on strict guard against firearms and could not reveal any information at all.
Although the rebels have it, they only have the finished product and have no idea what the required materials are, and they have no use whatsoever.
At this time, the Minister of Industry was only glad that Emperor Zhao did not ask him to set a specific time when it must be developed, otherwise it would be a real disaster for him.
Compared with the tense atmosphere in the Zhao court, the situation in Shuzhou was much more relaxed.
Xu Qing and the heroic female commander-in-chief work in the same duty room. They will have heated discussions about any problems that cannot be solved. Although they are busy every day, the road ahead is full of hope.
All basic laws and policies have been promulgated, and it won't be long before the entire Shuzhou can begin to operate normally.
Nowadays, troops are stationed at various passes and arteries in Shuzhou, so there is no need to hide in the city anymore.
Long Bing'er, who was sitting indoors, put down a document she had just processed, then stretched and stood up to move around. Xu Qing handed over a piece of pastry and said, "Want to eat something? I just went to the small kitchen to get it.
of."
Long Bing'er took it, put it in her mouth and ate it in small bites.
Xu Qing said, "Now I finally understand why King Xian and Xiao Ye like to pass things off to others. It is so difficult to run a state, let alone a country."
Long Bing'er said, "If you regret it now, you can go back to Sister Su. I can do all these things by myself."
Xu Qing put her arms around Long Bing'er and said, "What I mean is that they are all alone, so of course they will be tired when doing things. One more person will give us more strength. If we finish it early, we can do what we love."
Something happened."
Long Bing'er shook his head and said: "Now I only think about revenge, other than that I don't know what I love to do."
Xu Qing: "I..."
When Long Bing'er heard Xu Qing's words, she immediately blushed and kicked her out. Xu Qing immediately dodged away without kicking her.
That's what Xu Qing is like, he didn't go to bed for three days.
I really don’t know how such a simple and lovely child like Xueer could like him?
Or is he talking about people and talking about ghosts?
It took the two of them a full ten days to handle various matters.
When Xin Honggao heard that Long Bing'er was leaving for two months, he fully supported Long Bing'er.
Xin Honggao felt sorry for Long Bing'er from the bottom of his heart. Long Bing'er, whom he had watched since childhood, now wanted to raise an army to rebel against the imperial court when he was just over twenty years old.
There is no way a woman like Long Bing'er can bear the pressure.
Now that the imperial army was finally defeated, it was time for Long Bing'er to rest for a while.
Xu Qing has already arranged the plans for the year before and after the year. As long as Xin Honggao follows Xu Qing's arrangements, there will be no big trouble in Shuzhou.
In a short period of time, Zhao State will not be able to gather its forces to attack Shuzhou again with a large army. It is a good time to recuperate and accumulate strength.
But before leaving Shuzhou, Long Binger had one more thing to do, and that was to kill Bai Fu.
Emperor Zhao had many greedy ministers around him, including Prime Minister Qin and Bai Fu.
These people are all accomplices!
Long Bing'er would look for them one after another.
Bai Fu was ordered to be publicly executed by Long Bing'er. The banner of the rebel army was that traitors were rampant around the emperor, and there were complaints about the court's persecution of loyal people, so they were asked to do justice for heaven.
Now Bai Fu has no idea that he is a big traitor.
In recent years, I have made a lot of money with Qin Xiang.
Killing him properly would not only relieve Long Bing'er's inner pain, but also enhance the reputation of the rebels.
At this moment, in the dark dungeon, Bai Fu's eyes were lifeless, and he no longer had the awe-inspiring look of a fox pretending to be a tiger.
When Bai Fu saw Long Bing'er and Xu Qing coming over, Bai Fu immediately said: "Long Xiaowei, Sir, you have spared our family a lot! Our family has never thought of harming you!"
Long Bing'er snorted coldly and said, "No? Putting aside the facts, since it can make His Majesty suspicious, does Long Wu really have nothing wrong at all? Didn't you Bai Fu say this?"
Bai Fu was already shocked when he heard this. Their conversation on East Street was secret, and there were only a few people around. How could Long Bing'er know so clearly?
Could it be that among the few people present at the time, there was also someone from Long Bing'er?
