The rise of the prince

Chapter 555 Countermeasures for Xia Kingdom
Xia Guo broke through Tang Long's important town and lost a large area of ​​land in the northwest as early as more than a month ago.

Before the Yujun report arrived, Zhong Dao had already made it clear and clear.

Jing Guo couldn't react at all, firstly, it was too far away; secondly, the army was mobilized to deal with Liao, and it was about to go north, so there was no time to take care of it.

In fact, this matter has long been rumored among the people, because there are a large number of businessmen doing business with Xia Guo, so they have heard more or less.

The predicament of Jingguo now is that if there is no explanation for this matter, and there is no way to explain it to the people, it may cause dissatisfaction among the people, fluctuate people's hearts, and lower morale.

If it needs to be dealt with, how can the imperial court deal with it?Raising troops to take revenge and take back Tang Long?The army is concentrated in the northeast, ready to attack the capital, how can there be troops to adjust.Moreover, the value of Shangjing is far more important than Tanglong Town in the northwest border.

People all over the world don't want that. If the court doesn't respond to the loss of land and land, the people will be disappointed with the court, the morale of the army will be low, and the hearts of the people will start to slacken. This is the fact that the emperor must face.

Li Xingzhou didn't beat around the bush, because he thought the emperor would ask him, so he said directly: "You can send envoys to Xia Guo, saying that if they respect Jing Guo as the suzerain country and themselves as a subordinate country, then Tang Long Town and the surrounding land Yes, just don't ask.

But hurry up, at least before the army attacks Nanjing. "

The words were very simple and clear, but the emperor was taken aback after hearing his words, and then looked at him in surprise: "This plan has profound meaning! Good!"

After finishing speaking, he rarely showed a smile on his old face: "That's right, you have an insight into the overall situation and have a good strategy in mind!
I am relieved that you have such thoughts.I will keep you this time, you have to watch more and learn more. "

"I understand." Li Xingzhou cupped his hands.

"In April, when you come into the palace and stay with me, you can learn more, and walk around more with Wang Yue and others, and less with people like Chen Yu, do you understand?"

Li Xingzhou nodded as he walked with him.

"Also, I heard that you often run to the barracks. You have to understand that the army is the sword in your hand. A too sharp sword can easily cut yourself, so a good sword does not open when it is not in use. It is better if it is rusty, but it is safer. .

It is never too late to sharpen it when it is used. "The emperor said to him earnestly.

Li Xingzhou nodded on the surface, but he had his own independent thoughts in his heart. Dasong thought the same way at the beginning, and he sharpened his gun before the battle, but he grinded himself to death.
Afterwards, the emperor gave some more instructions, and then slowly went up to Jin and drove away.

For the overall situation, Li Xingzhou sees clearly that the current way to deal with Xia Guo is to stabilize the outside world; internally, to explain to the people.

Although Xixia occupied Tanglong Town, they must be apprehensive. The reason is very simple. Although they found the opportunity for Jing Guo to send troops to the north, they caught Jing Guo by surprise and took advantage of it.

But what about after taking advantage?
Will Jing Guohui stop fighting the Liao Kingdom in a fit of anger, and turn around and beat them.

These are all risks that Xixia has to consider, especially after receiving the news of Jingguo's national army gathering, it must be even more disturbing.

Because it takes at least a few months for the army to gather, to prepare food and grass, and then to dispatch troops. Xixia must be uneasy during these days.

At this time, Jing Guo suddenly said that as long as Xia Guo respected Jing Guo as the suzerain and would not pursue the matter of losing the land, Xia Guo would most likely be very happy.

Because in this way, when they got the land, they didn't have to worry about Jingguo's revenge. Although they had a bad reputation, they actually took advantage of it.

As for Jingguo, it kills two birds with one stone. First of all, Jingguo is unable to take care of Xiaguo at this time, but needs a stable environment to concentrate on dealing with Liaoguo. After doing so, Xiaguo can be appeased.

Secondly, there is also an explanation to the people of the country, so that morale will not be low, because Xia Guo regards Jing Guo as the suzerain country, and there are many things to save face.

Li Xingzhou has thought about this method for a long time, and it has a very high structure. It is the best plan that Jingguo can do so far, so the emperor was so happy after hearing it.

But he wasn't going to stop there, Li Xingzhou wrote down the grievance.

For him, there is another one, that is to maintain the stability of the relationship between the two countries, keep the trade unimpeded, and then...he has his own way to defeat Xia Guo.

Tulip Project!
At night, Li Xingzhou took the bait on the third step of the plan. He never expected that the second step was not ready yet, but the third step came first.

After a month or two, when Wangfu's glass manufacturing technology is mature, Li Xingzhou can officially start the actual operation part of the "Tulip Project".

However, he was somewhat unhappy when the emperor asked him to enter the palace to accompany him to study, because it would take up a lot of his time, a large part of which came from the round trip.

The only one in the palace who can legitimately live with the prince and grandson is the East Palace. The crown prince was moved out of the East Palace and placed under house arrest in Jiangzhou, but he is still the crown prince, and Li Xingzhou has no reason to live in the East Palace.

To be honest, he thinks his palace is pretty good.

But after he told this matter more poetically to Gillian, the two little girls were overjoyed, and the emperor's meaning was already obvious.

He Qian also often came to the palace these days to eat and drink. Before the window paper was not pierced, she was no longer shy. Now, the queen called Gillian and Shiyu into the palace to talk about it. About He Qian.

The little girl is even more legitimate and lawless.

Yan Cook was overwhelmed by her command, so he had no choice but to come to Li Xingzhou to complain, and he also put a curse on the little girl in a funny way, every day she asked the kitchen to cook five dishes at most, and she needed ingredients.

He Qian was dissatisfied for a while, then hurriedly forgot about it.Then she rode a tall horse every day, carrying a sword around her waist, and in the name of protecting Gillian and Yue'er, she went to Prince Kang's Mansion to learn the art of glass blowing. .

On the seventh day of March, the weather was clear and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant in the ordinary early spring. It was like a heavy bomb dropped on the palace, which made Li Xingzhou so excited that he danced with joy!

Qiu'er's first-generation steam engine was finally born!
Although it is small in size and short in life, it is always active and powerful.

There was only one in the first batch, but a large number of craftsmen were mobilized, and it took a full two months. There will be two subsequent batches of reproduction, but it will take another two to three months.

Li Xingzhou was overjoyed, and happily hugged Qiu'er around several times. With the steam engine, he could use the boring machine, and he could build better barrels, gun barrels, better cylinders, and better steam engines!

This is a closed loop, once one of the points is broken through, it will immediately win a big explosion in processing technology!
This is the so-called breaking the surface with a point.

And this point has been broken today. From then on, the technological level of the Palace will slowly enter a new stage!
This kind of excitement made Li Xingzhou's blood boil all over his body. He was so happy that he handed out rewards to everyone and laughed all day. If he can't do it, let him go back to be the leader of the gang.Yan Cook was so frightened that his old face collapsed and he was about to cry.

Then he happily sent someone to invite De Gong, He Zhao, Bao Zheng, Mao Luan and others to come over for dinner.

This kind of joy is hard to describe, but it is not happy if I don't say it.
