In fact, due to the distance, Liu Jingming did not receive the specific situation from Wu Fanghai. He only knew about the situation from Zhang Hao - a special person reported it.
This is due to Dayang Group's news channels, and Dayang Group's temporary news transmission almost entirely relies on Ye Yue Lou.
The princess briefly explained the situation on the front line, but Liu Jingming remained silent. After waiting for a while, the princess suddenly said: "I want to review the troops here."
What?
Liu Jingming was shocked again. Reviewing the army is the right of an emperor. You, a princess, what do you want to do?
But Liu Xinyu looked at Liu Jingming with firm eyes, "City Lord, my father sent the most elite 10,000 people here. This is almost the last strength of the country, so I have to see how they are doing.
Now, the Kingdom of Jinyang has broken through the second line of defense, and its troops are pointing directly at the Jiuyang Sect. The situation is very critical. But in the court, everyone is in chaos, and they can't come up with any effective solution.
Therefore, these ten thousand people are crucial!"
"Ah..." Liu Jingming was shocked again, and even a little panicked. The amount of information today was a bit larger, "Is things... really that bad?"
Liu Xinyu nodded: "I wouldn't say anything like this. The country's current situation is extremely critical. Although Zhang Hao has achieved a victory, compared to the situation across the country, it is still not optimistic.
So I wanted to come and see what happened to the so-called Iron Legion, and I also wanted to see the power of the artillery in the battle of Xingchang County."
Liu Jingming finally came to his senses. He regained his composure and said slowly, "The soldiers are training. If the princess wants to review, she has to wait until tomorrow. Also, the artillery is produced by the Zhang family and is only supplied to the Dayang Group for the time being. As for us,
There are no artillery here yet. And it is said that artillery is very expensive."
Liu Xinyu frowned slightly: "Okay, tomorrow will do. The artillery... belongs to the Zhang family?"
"yes."
"Then please help me invite Zhang Hao or Zhang Shengde to come over. Now...wait a minute, I will visit the Zhang family in person. You need to send someone to inform them first."
Liu Jingming responded immediately and asked Feng Dongyuan next to him to inform the Zhang family.
As a result, Feng Dongyuan stood still, watching the princess in trance. This time, the princess came in a hurry, but without a veil, and her heroic face made Feng Dongyuan's eyes widen.
"Feng Dongyuan!" Liu Jingming felt a surge of fire in his heart. You're an unlucky guy!
"Ah...yes, yes, I'll go right away..." Feng Dongyuan was a little flustered, and he looked at the princess in a hurry. The princess's eyes were very calm, but there seemed to be a faint smile in the calmness - not a mockery, just a smile.
An ordinary indifferent smile, with the proud smile of a superior.
But this faint and almost imperceptible smile, in Feng Dongyuan's eyes, is like a ray of sunshine in the endless dark clouds - although it is weak, it is so bright and beautiful.
Feng Dongyuan left in a daze, and Liu Jingming apologized sheepishly.
Liu Xinyu smiled and shook her head without saying anything. Isn't it great that someone appreciates her?
As a woman, she felt a little complacent in her heart. But then Liu Xinyu became a little annoyed - she thought of Zhang Hao's expression when he saw her, and he seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance!
Against the background of Feng Dongyuan, Liu Xinyu thought of Zhang Hao instead. I wonder if Feng Dongyuan knew this, would he crash from the sky to the ground?
Fortunately, Feng Dongyuan didn't know, so he rushed all the way to the Zhang family and informed the Zhang family that the princess was coming: to discuss the issue of artillery, and maybe also discuss steel armor, etc., and... ironclad ships.
In the evening, Liu Xinyu appeared at the Zhang family, and Zhang Shengde personally came out to greet Liu Xinyu and the city lord Liu Jingming. After the meeting, Liu Xinyu was not polite. After congratulating him, he went straight in and asked about the Zhang family's artillery.
Because Feng Dongyuan notified him in advance, Zhang Shengde was prepared. "Your Royal Highness, the artillery of the Zhang family will definitely fight for the country. When the country is facing a national crisis, the Zhang family will fully support the country.
Previously, the Zhang family had a plan to create two artillery teams, one to support the Dayang Group and one to cooperate with the Ninghe County legion.
Now, the Zhang family is seizing the time to produce artillery. It is expected that in five days, we will be able to produce ten more artillery pieces. The number of artillery shells should be more than 5,000, which is enough to support one or two wars.
And as long as the war can buy enough time, the Zhang family will continue to produce more artillery and artillery shells."
"Free?" Liu Xinyu didn't say much, but she got to the point.
"No!" Zhang Shengde said confidently, "It won't be too late for us to calculate the price after the country is victorious and stable."
Liu Xinyu nodded: "I heard that Dayang Group has completed the first ironclad ship. Can I take a look?"
Zhang Shengde smiled, with some pride on his face: "That's just a model. The keel of the real armored ship has just been laid. If the palace and the city lord don't mind, I will take the princess and the city lord to see it."
There are many technologies involved in the shipbuilding process; and most of the real shipbuilding technology is completed in the design and material production. Just a glance will not reveal the secret.
…………
But when the princess was preparing to visit the Zhang family's shipbuilding base, a heated discussion was going on here in the Jiuyang Sect. The letter from Sima Zhen brought an unprecedented test to the Jiuyang Sect.
Everyone has been discussing it for a long time, but they are divided into two groups.
One faction, headed by the headmaster Guang Yangzi, advocated fighting.
One faction, headed by the great elder Qing Hongzi, advocates... non-resistance!
The Great Elder Qing Hongzi, as a master of the God Transformation Stage, is one of the only two God Transformation Stage masters in Qixia Kingdom - the other is the Supreme Emperor.
Among the two major factions at this time, those led by the great elder Qing Hongzi accounted for almost 70%. Those standing next to the headmaster Guangyangzi accounted for less than 30%.
Guangyangzi shouted angrily at this time: "Great Elder, haven't you seen that in order to wipe out the large and small families and sects in the country, the Kingdom of Jinyang will not hesitate to lead wolves into the house in order to centralize power!
Do we dare to go to such a country?
I’m afraid that when the Qixia Kingdom is destroyed, it will be the moment of our demise!”
"With me, a master of the Divine Transformation Stage, in charge, the Kingdom of Jinyang does not dare to mess around!" The Great Elder spoke very domineeringly. In the Divine Transformation Stage, he is a bull!
But Guangyangzi raised a very practical question: "Great Elder, the Kingdom of Jinyang has currently determined that there are three gods in the stage of transformation, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Kai, the headmaster of Biyun Valley, the eldest princess, Zhao Ying, and Jade Girl.
Xie Yingxin, the master of the Sword Sect.
But most of the disciples of the Jade Girl Sword Sect married civil servants and generals of the Kingdom of Jinyang, who were also members of the royal family!
Under such circumstances, what will be the result if we seek refuge in the Kingdom of Jinyang? Great Elder, do you really not know?"
