Xu Qing was still leisurely at home preparing the things he needed to go to the capital.
I heard that Xiao Ye even thoughtfully built himself a Hanwang Palace in the capital.
Gee, there is one more property within the second ring road of Beijing.
Things are really different now!
When he first came here, there were only three tile-roofed houses in his house, and he had been envious of his father-in-law's magistrate's mansion for a long time.
Look now, I am also a member of several royal palaces!
You can even switch places.
Oops, I became a rich man out of nowhere.
It's a pity that no one in this era has enough time to rent a palace, and the court's etiquette system will not allow the palace to be rented out. Otherwise, Xu Qing would rent out a few units.
How come you don't earn more than a hundred thousand taels a year in rent or something?
Damn feudal ethics!
It’s really a waste of making money for yourself.
Xu Qing was trimming the nails of Li Mingyue who was sitting in the waterside pavilion.
Speaking of which, Li Mingyue's hands are definitely the tenderest among Xu Qing's ladies, because she is the only one in the family who does not practice martial arts excessively, let alone wielding a knife or a gun.
This is very similar to Xu Qing. He can only practice for one hour at most every day. He can strengthen his body but lacks the motivation to attack, which is just right for Xu Qing.
One of Li Mingyue's hands was held by Xu Qing to trim her nails, and the other hand was placed on her belly, stroking it gently with a faint smile on her face.
It’s great, I’m going to have a child too.
After Xu Qing fixed Li Mingyue's nails, she took Li Mingyue away from Shuixie.
It's getting late now, and mosquitoes will gather next to the waterside pavilion after a while. Even toilet water is not 100% effective.
It is said that King Qi had to lean on the waterside pavilion in the evening to look elegant in the summer, and received more than a dozen bites on his face. From then on, he never did this again.
It's simply a sin.
Long Bing'er and Su Qian were discussing what to bring with them for this trip to the capital.
This time, I won't stay for too long, because now Shuzhou has strong soldiers and horses, and they are all working hard to take over Zhao State in one go.
The main reason they came to the capital this time was to see the grand scenery of the capital and casually relax before the war.
I'm afraid the war in Shuzhou will start soon.
After conquering Shuzhou, Long Bing'er became the real queen.
From this point of view, a man may not necessarily be able to be an emperor, and it is not impossible to be a queen...
What's going on with this sudden little expectation?
Long Bing'er naturally knew that there would be a bloody storm after returning to Shuzhou, so she cherished this time very much.
It's a pity that his wish for a son has not been fulfilled by his husband so far.
Long Bing'er was still wondering why Sister Su didn't have a second child for such a long time, even though her husband had obviously had both rain and dew in these years.
As a result, Su Qian secretly told her that she had used her internal power to force out the things her husband had left behind.
The reason is quite simple. There are still people in the family who don’t have a child. If she had a second child so soon, how much would it irritate others?
Especially irritating Xueer.
I don’t know what Xue’er’s constitution is, but she still doesn’t have children...
Su Qian thought that it would be better to wait until everyone in the family had children before making plans for a second child, otherwise Xuan'er would not be able to take care of her.
Looking at Xue'er's resentful look, Su Qian knew that what she did was right.
It is completely enough for her to have Xiao Ning'er for the time being.
…
In these five years, Shuzhou has done more than the other two countries.
It not only makes full use of the resources and more advanced production tools imported from Chang'an, but also pays more attention to the cultivation of talents.
It can be said that with the current talent pool in Shuzhou, even if Zhao can be defeated tomorrow, the replacement of court officials and the transition of state power can be completed immediately without any problems.
Xin Honggao never slacked off in military training in the past five years.
Nowadays, Shuzhou can definitely be said to have strong soldiers and horses, and Xu Qing has also improved the smelting technology. Shuzhou's sword may be able to directly cut a gap in Zhao's weapon, regardless of the sharpness or the
The toughness is extraordinary and comparable to that of swords.
These are prepared for the final siege.
The capital city of Zhao State was built extremely solidly.
Because Zhao was rich, their capital city was both prosperous and practical.
At that time, he often aroused the envy of Chu and Zhou.
Such a strong and huge city will definitely be a bloody battle when it comes to attacking it!
Once street fighting breaks out, the role of existing firearms will be greatly weakened. Before the emergence of lightweight repeating firearms that can be controlled, the best weapons for street fighting are still cold weapons. However, it is a pity that such weapons are suitable for street fighting and are lightweight and continuous firing.
Even the current state of Chu does not have such firearms.
In Xu Qing's view, apart from making pistols or machine guns, street fighting still requires a machete.
I don't know if he will ever see a real pistol made in his lifetime.
Xu Qing prepared these for Shuzhou in advance in order to maximize his own strength and reduce the number of casualties during street fighting.
Zhao State is not willing to give up the imperial edict, and they will not take the initiative to surrender the city. Xu Qing must prepare for the worst.
Today, Shuzhou has far surpassed Zhao State in terms of long-range firepower and hand-to-hand combat effectiveness.
This battle will also be a must-win battle!
And now it's not far from the beginning of this final battle.
