There is Always a System Trying To Bind Me - Chapter 111
This battle finally ended with the victory of Rongcheng soldiers. The firearms battalion led by Xu Qingyang also left a deep impression on everyone through this battle.
And the news that the soldiers of Rongcheng defeated the Huns flew into the capital like wings.
In the Golden Palace, the emperor, who was wearing a majestic dragon robe but still couldn’t hide his aging breath, glanced at the courtiers below.
He asked somewhat inexplicably: “What do you think about this matter.”
The ministers discussed for a while, and then Yu Xiang stood up.
” Wei Chen just heard from His Majesty that the reason why General Li Mu could defeat the Xiongnu was because he used firearms, but we all know that although firearms can attack the enemy, there is a half chance that they will hurt themselves , Wei Chen dared to ask Your Majesty, how did General Li Mu solve this problem?”
The expression on the emperor’s face loosened, and it was obvious that the other party spoke to his heart.
“It is said that the firearm in Li Mu’s hands has no such hazard.”
Yu Xiang showed a bit of surprise on his face, as if he was surprised by the news.
Although he actually knew the news on the third day after the Rongcheng army defeated the Xiongnu.
Yu Xiang lowered his head and thought for a while, and then suggested to the emperor: “If this is the case, if all our soldiers of the Yan Dynasty can be equipped with this thing, what would the Xiongnu fear? What is the clan? I congratulate Your Majesty, as long as you have this thing, Your Majesty’s desire to rule the world is just around the corner!”
Yu Xiang’s face was filled with a frenzied expression, as if everything in the words had already happened.
Most of the people in the hall also shouted.
“Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is just around the corner!”
Most of them are **** Yu Xiang party, which will naturally be what Yu Xiang does what they will do.
Xu Wencheng stood below and heard these words, but he only felt absurd in his heart.
Why don’t these people think about where Li Mu’s firearms come from? Did he really do it himself? Then why didn’t he take it out before, if he really did it himself, then why didn’t he equip everyone in the army?
In that case, the soldiers in Rongcheng don’t have to die so much this time.
It’s not like everyone else just noticed that this time Li Wood they won.
Xu Wencheng, who personally led the battle, noticed that the 60,000 soldiers in Rongcheng lost 20,000 in this battle.
These people are the sons of their Yan Dynasty!
And there is a problem here, if Li Mu really knew the method of improving firearms but did not report it to the court, then what is his thought.
Xu Wencheng didn’t dare to think deeply, because if he thought about it again, he would have to wonder if Li Mu was going to rebel.
In the end, under the advice of the courtiers, the emperor sent an urgent imperial edict to Rongcheng for 800 miles.
Li Mu led some officers and men with official positions to take the order.
The man finished declaring the decree, and handed the decree to Li Mu. He pointed out: “General Li, you can understand what the emperor means. I hope the general can take the country and society as the top priority. As soon as possible, give this method to the emperor.”
Li Mu just raised his head slightly, and he could see the smug eyes of the man in front of him.
Nowadays, the sage pays more attention to the letter and the martial arts. In the court, even if it is an official position of the same rank, these military officers are half a rank lower than the civil officer, so it is no wonder that he has won a victory. Solved the crisis brought by the Huns.
But the man in front of him still looked down on him.
It is estimated that in the heart of the other party, he is a martial artist. If it is not because he knows how to improve firearms, it is estimated that he will not be in the eyes of the emperor at all.
Li Mu clearly saw the deep jealousy hidden in the eyes of the man in front of him.
He looked up again and heard his own voice.
“The concern of the Holy One, Wei Chenming is very grateful. But I still ask Liu Shilang to tell His Majesty that Li Mu really does not know the method of making these firearms. The firearms in my military camp are also from me. I bought it from an outsider, but that person found me on his own initiative. After the victory with the Xiongnu, I have already sent someone to look for the merchant, but the other party no longer knows where to go.”
Through the shocked eyes of the person on the opposite side, Li Mu seemed to see a pure face of himself in the pupils of the other side. It was ridiculous. It turns out that he, the honest person in the public’s mouth, can also lie.
Li Mu lowered his head and concealed the irony in his eyes.
He silently listened to the accusation made by the man opposite him, but he remembered what Yang Qing had talked to him last night.
Pity him, a big man who has been in his thirties for more than 30 years, but he is not as thorough as a teenage child.
Yang Qing is right, the Yan Dynasty’s national strength is weaker than other countries, if the method of improving firearms is known to the court, the first thing those civilians think about is not how to use these weapons to defend The Yan Dynasty, but how to use these weapons to get more land, just like the Huns are doing to the Yan Dynasty now.
Liu Shilang who passed the decree finally left in a huff, and Li Mu returned to the barracks with the decree.
Although Xu Qingyang watched a live broadcast through her divine sense, she still pretended to be anxious now.
“General, how, you didn’t tell them that method.”
Li Mu glanced at Xu Qingyang in admiration and patted her on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, although I’m not a smart person, I can still see what their civil servants think.”
If the firearms are handed over to the imperial court, then the emperor will definitely think about using this thing to open up the land, then who else can the land-opening candidates besides them be soldiers?
Those who stay in the capital safely have parents, wives and children, don’t they have soldiers?
“I also have to thank you, Yang Qing, if you hadn’t reminded me, I would have really handed over this method.”
Xu Qingyang smiled and shook his head, “The general is too worried, I just can’t bear our compatriots to die in vain.”
Xu Qingyang glanced at Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao nodded slightly, then took a step forward and proposed: “General, although we have sent away the people sent by the court for the time being, those people in the capital will definitely not give up, they We will definitely send someone to Rongcheng secretly to find out how we can improve our firearms.”
Li Mu hadn’t thought about this before, and now he was a little flustered when he heard Cheng Xiao say this.
“What do we do then?”
Can’t leak.”
Cheng Xiao added: “In addition, we hand over the materials needed in the firearms to different people to make them, and then take them to the military camp. It seems that we can trust them. It’s made by people, so even if someone gets caught accidentally, they won’t be able to get the full production method.”
Li Mu heard Xu Qingyang and Cheng Xiao’s proposal, and couldn’t help but clapped his hands again, “It’s a good idea, just do it!”
He couldn’t help reaching out and patted Xu Qingyang’s shoulder again, “Good boy, although your height and physique are not satisfactory, your brain is very useful, not bad, not bad.”
Li Mu looked at Xu Qingyang carefully, and suddenly thought of something.
He lowered his voice and asked Xu Qingyang somewhat mysteriously.
“Yang Qing, tell me the truth, did your parents make a marriage contract for you before they died?”
On the one hand, Xu Qingyang apologized to Xu Wencheng and Mrs. Xu who were forced to die, on the other hand, answered Li Mu’s words in a puzzled way.
“Return to General, no.”
Xu Qingyang looked at the hand that Li Mu casually put on his shoulder, and couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.
Xu Qingyang is actually not short, because she deliberately gave birth to her height, and now she looks like a fourteen or fifteen year old boy.
But this is not enough for Li Mu who is nearly two meters tall.
But when she saw Cheng Xiao, who was two years older than her, but was about the same height as her, she felt a little bit of balance in her heart.
Li Mu approached Xu Qingyang strangely at this time.
Under Xu Qingyang’s terrified eyes, Li Mu said a little embarrassedly: “The little girl in the family is ten years old this year, and it happens that she is not married.”
This is almost a clear sign.
Only ten years old! Isn’t that pedophilia?
Xu Qingyang, who received a modern education, could not accept this idea no matter what, despite the fact that men and women in the Yan Dynasty got engaged at the age of eleven or twelve, and there were countless families who gave birth to children at the age of fourteen or five.
Xu Qingyang just wants to quickly dispel the idea of Li Mu.
When Li Mu thought about it, it was indeed the case. Like he was fighting outside now, his wife was not afraid at home every day.
Thinking about this, he also felt that Xu Qingyang was indeed not a good match.
Xu Qingyang received news from Xu Yichen a month later. As he expected, the emperor was furious when he heard what Li Mu said, and then secretly sent someone to Rongcheng immediately Steal the improved method of firearms.
It’s a pity that those people were firmly protected by Xu Qingyang, and the people sent by the emperor and other aristocratic families naturally got nothing.
At this time, the Hun army, which had been rested, made a comeback.
This time, Li Mu followed Xu Qingyang’s advice and did not directly confront the Xiongnu, but deliberately stalemate with the opponent in Rongcheng.
Because of the existence of war, the emperor’s original idea of directly recalling Li Mu to the capital could only be dispelled.
He plans to wait until Li Mu defeats the Xiongnu again. At that time, even if he is tortured and asked, he will get the improved method of firearms from Li Muzui, then he can rule the world Sharp weapon!
But what the emperor did not expect was that Li Mu never took out firearms in the next battle. He said to the outside world that those firearms were scrapped after one use.
Without firearms, the Huns were strong again, and the battle between Rongcheng and the Huns began to stalemate.
And this stalemate is five years.
