Seeing that Chun Cao understood something, Jia Ke continued: "As long as you understand, didn't I send you a few old ladies and eunuchs? From now on, you will leave them in charge of the affairs of Yanxi Palace.
I will definitely keep you mother and son safe."
After listening to this, Chun Cao kept nodding. Although she is now a noble concubine, she must have been born as a little maid. Moreover, she had no children after Jia Ke ascended the throne, so she has not offended anyone in the harem and has never passed.
There is intrigue in the harem, and now that there are several people helping her, she is naturally willing.
Jia Ke stayed at Chuncao for another afternoon, and left in the evening on the grounds that he was busy with official duties.
But Chuncao was in a daze holding her child alone in the room. She didn't expect that there would be such deceit in the harem.
Jia Ke had just finished handling the Chun Cao matter, and within a few months, another troublesome matter came to his court.
It turns out that since the Tatars moved westward, the 36 countries in the Western Regions have been free for a period of time. However, before they could be happy for a long time, the big country in the west, the Black-clad Big Food, used cavalry to attack them.
Although the masters in black are packaged in religion, they have a deep sense of aggression in their character. Any place they have stayed in is considered their territory.
Then they will use religion to assimilate. If the locals are successfully assimilated by them, they can temporarily survive as slaves. Otherwise, they will carry out bloody massacres of the locals.
This time, after many years of dormancy, the Black Clothed Food heard that the Tatars had been defeated by the Central Plains Dynasty and had moved to the west. Naturally, they understood that the 36 countries in the Western Regions had been abandoned by the Tatars, so they led the troops again this time.
, wants to regain control of the 36 countries in the Western Region.
Those people in the Western Regions were small and weak, and even if they united, they were no match for the master in black. Soon, they occupied more than 20 of the 36 countries.
The remaining small countries immediately looked for backers as soon as they saw something was wrong, and the biggest backer near the Central Plains was naturally the Central Plains Dynasty.
So these small countries united and sent a large team of envoys to the capital of Dayan, requesting to exist as a vassal state of Dayan.
And Jia Ke was troubled precisely because of this matter.
Because Jia Ke came from later generations and knew how powerful these Middle Easterners were, Jia Ke felt a little relieved after thinking about the policies adopted by those strong men who conquered the Middle East when he was on Earth.
Although the people of the Middle East are powerful and savage, their savagery will be completely useless when encountering a strong and iron-blooded man.
It is not that the Middle Easterners have not been conquered when we were on Earth. As long as we adopt the policy of iron and blood, fight with killing with killing, and completely kill these Middle Easterners, they will be honest.
If we talk about civilization with people like them, then the gains outweigh the losses. You can see that several superpowers have been disgraced in the Middle East.
Moreover, for the Central Plains dynasty, the 36 countries in the Western Regions were a very important location. It was not only an important section of the Silk Road, but also a buffer between the Central Plains dynasty and the Western powers. It must not be lost.
After Jia Ke made up his mind, he immediately held a court meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and received here the envoys from the Western Regions who came to request submission.
After these envoys from the Western Regions came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they saw the majesty, splendor, solemnity and solemnity of this place, and they had long been afraid of it.
After they met Jia Ke, they found that although Jia Ke was ordinary in appearance, he had an imperial majesty all over his body. These people were immediately suppressed by Jia Ke's majesty and fell to their knees after meeting.
Jia Ke sat on the throne and nodded when he saw that these people were reasonable.
The next thing was much simpler. These envoys first presented their surrender, and then asked Jia Ke to protect their country.
Jia Ke took the surrender form from them. After reading it carefully, he found that there were no flaws. He nodded and said to them: "Since you have returned to our country, you are naturally a vassal state of the Central Plains. I have the obligation to protect you."
Safety."
"You are resting in the post house for the time being. As for the matter of sending troops, it is of great importance. I will give you an answer after I have discussed it."
These envoys immediately thanked them profusely, and then exited the Hall of Supreme Harmony under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites.
After all the outsiders left, Jia Ke asked the ministers, "Do you think we should send troops to the Western Regions?"
The ministers below have actually known the reason for the arrival of the envoys from the Western Regions for a long time. They have been discussing it for a long time, and they have basically reached a consensus.
Now when Jia Ke asked Sun Yan, who was the Minister of Military and Aircraft, he immediately went out to report: "Long live Qi Zun, the man in black is ambitious. After he annexed the 36 countries in the Western Region, he will definitely peek into our territory, and it will still be unavoidable.
If there is a big war, it is better to send troops to the Western Regions now and put the war outside the country."
Jia Ke was very satisfied after hearing this, it was exactly what he wanted.
"The chief military officer has expressed his position. Do you have any other ideas?"
The people below looked at each other, then knelt down together, "I second my opinion."
Jia Ke saw that the ministers finally shared the same hatred, so he stood up from the throne happily, walked around the imperial case, stood in front of the imperial street steps and said to them: "My dear friends, today we are all dressed in black and eating a lot of food."
He refuses to obey the king's rule and repeatedly invades our country. This is beyond the tolerance of the soldiers, so I have decided to order a large army to conquer it."
"This time, Huang Baifeng will be the marshal, Xiao Yue will be the vanguard, and they will command 100,000 horses from Xuanfu Town, 50,000 horses from Fenwu Camp, and 80,000 cavalry from the Eight Banners of the Manchu people. They will meet in Xi'an, and then go out of Yumen Pass to conquer the black-clad army.
"
After the great dynasty that day, Jia Ke's imperial edict flew quickly to Xuanfu Town and the Eight Banners of the Manchu people.
After receiving Jia Ke's imperial edict, Huang Baifeng did not dare to neglect and immediately reorganized the army in Xuanfu Town.
Although Xuanfu Town still exists as one of the nine sides, they are actually an inland army.
As the military governor of Xuanfu Town, Huang Baifeng immediately organized his troops and marched toward Xi'an in accordance with the imperial edict.
Xiao Yue, who was in the capital, also said goodbye to his beloved wife Jia Yingchun and headed for Xi'an with Fenwuying.
The 8 Manchu banners were even faster. As soon as Jia Ke's order came, each of the 8 banners sent out 10,000 horses. Then, under the leadership of the leaders of each tribe, one man and two horses quickly headed towards Xi'an.
This time Jia Ke ordered the main force of the Western Expedition to be 150,000 infantry and 80,000 cavalry.
These men and horses were much smaller than those of the Tatars in the Northern Expedition, but Jaques was absolutely sure that he could defeat the black-clad food.
Because now Jia Ke's 150,000 infantrymen are not the original troops who used swords and guns. They have been completely firearms.
And with the passage of time, and Jia Ke's large investment, their muskets are no longer flintlock guns, but Mini guns that use Mini bullets.
The mini gun is an artifact of time travel, but a big time traveler from ancient times relied on the mini gun to conquer all directions.
Jia Ke's place is no exception, although Jia Ke's golden fingers have nothing to do with these mechanical manufacturing.
But Jacques still relied on some of his own memories, and coupled with the ingenuity of the Central Plains craftsmen, he finally made a rifled Minigun.
Don't think that making a minigun is very simple. On the contrary, its production is almost as complicated as a modern rifle.
Not long after the minigun appeared, modern rifles appeared on the European battlefield. This also shows that there is not much substantial technical gap between the production of miniguns and modern rifles.
Nowadays, there is a saying that the Minigun was born at the wrong time. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. There is no essential difference between the production of the Minigun and modern rifles.
For example, in terms of rifling, there is no difference between a Minie gun and a modern rifle. The main difference between a Minie gun and a modern rifle is the firing device and ammunition.
These are all temporary inspirations, and there is no technical gap.
Now that there are modern rifles, which are better than the Minigun in terms of stability, range, and shooting speed, everyone naturally uses modern rifles, so the Minigun quickly declined.
And Jia Ke now has no choice but to use the Mini gun first instead of the modern rifle.
First of all, although Jia Ke's industry can produce modern rifles, as for bullets, it can only produce Mini bullets with slightly lower accuracy.
As for modern bullets, he has absolutely no choice. At least he has not yet been able to produce rifle bullets that meet the accuracy requirements.
Don't think that rifle bullets are easy to make. Look at India now. It can make airplanes, tanks, and rockets are in the sky, but it just can't make bullets. The bullets used in India now are imported from the West. You can use them from the West.
I thought about the difficulty of making bullets.
Jia Ke was stumped by bullets, so his troops had to use miniguns for the time being.
However, Jia Ke believes that even if he uses the mini gun, he can still have an absolute advantage over the enemy, because the mini gun shoots very fast and has a range of 400 meters.
With just two weapons, Jia Ke's troops can sweep through all enemies.
The current restriction on Jia Ke is mainly logistical supplies. The current miniguns cannot be like the original flintlock guns. As long as the craftsmen accompanying the army can make some casually, they can meet the needs of the troops. The minigun bullets must be made in the rear and transported to the front.
Therefore, Jia Ke asked Huang Baifeng and Xiao Yue to meet up in Xi'an. An important reason was that Jia Ke set up a large arsenal in Xi'an. The shells and bullets stored here were enough to deal with a large-scale war.
After Huang Baifeng and Xiao Yue reunited with their troops in Xi'an, according to Jia Ke's order, they extracted the bullets from the arsenal in Xi'an.
After that, the Eight Banners of the Manchus also gathered in Xi'an. When they arrived, they immediately abandoned the bows and arrows in their hands and replaced them with the flintlock guns that Jia Ke originally equipped his troops but were later replaced by miniguns.
Although these flintlock guns are much different from the miniguns in terms of range and even the firing speed, they are also great black technologies for other countries.
After these Manchu Eight Banners were equipped with flintlock guns, it can be said that they were even more powerful.
