The rise of the prince

Chapter 713 Wei Xingping's Good News

In the eyes of others, this news may be worthless, but to Li Xingzhou it has another meaning.

The Qiyan tribe began to attack the Tatar tribe, indicating that Temujin's journey to unify the grassland has begun.

The Tatar tribe was originally the thug of the Jin Kingdom on the grasslands. It used to be protected by the Jin Kingdom. Because of the Kingdom of Jin, the Tatars could not be wiped out, and now the opportunity has come.

In Li Xingzhou's view, the Tatars are undoubtedly stupid. They didn't see the situation clearly at all. With the backing of the Jin Kingdom, they offended too many people. After they gradually became stronger, they wanted to get rid of the Jin Kingdom.

But they didn't think that the Tatar tribe was a dog raised on the grassland by the Kingdom of Jin. The so-called beating of dogs depends on the owner. It is precisely because of the existence of the Kingdom of Jin that the tribes they offended cannot take revenge on them. The Lord's stray dogs, anyone dares to beat them with two sticks.

Sure enough, as soon as the Tatar tribe rebelled, the Qiyan tribe, which had long had a grudge, sent troops, and also united with the powerful Kele tribe in the west, and many tribes that had conflicts with the Tatar tribe.

After arriving at Tingyu Tower, he went to the backyard first and ordered the Wangfu Intelligence Bureau managed by Yan Kun to pay close attention to the situation on the northern grassland.

"Why do you care so much about the Mobei Grassland?" Wei Yubai was a little puzzled: "It's far away, and they are all barbarians and foreigners, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Things are impermanent. Who knows that there will be a hero in the grassland. Think about the Jurchen of the Liao Kingdom. In the past, people in Jingren and Liao people were no more than savages in the icy and snowy land of Eastern Liao. Once the Jurchen ministries were unified, they would immediately become The unstoppable Liaodong army.

What if the ministries of the grassland were also unified. "Li Xingzhou said.

Wei Yubai was speechless, "What the prince said is indeed reasonable, but I think the Kingdom of Jin is the most important right now."

Li Xingzhou nodded. This is the truth. Most of the previous dynasties in the Central Plains were able to suppress the surrounding ethnic minorities and nomads. The big head of victory is more about culture and system.

The culture in the Central Plains is developing rapidly, the people have a high sense of nationalism, and the system is more advanced, so they can often unite, effectively dispatch, and deal with foreign enemies. Therefore, most of the northern ethnic groups are always unable to confront the Han people in the Central Plains, unless there is civil strife in the Central Plains.

But now, due to the culture of various ethnic groups in the north, after years of development, the system is gradually on par with the Central Plains. Many people realize that only by uniting can they become stronger.

The first to do this was the Khitan people. Emperor Jingzong of Liao used Han Derang to carry out Sinicization reforms, integrating the various ministries of Khitan, and then the Liao Kingdom, which dominated the north, reached its peak and stepped onto the stage of history.

Then there was the Jurchen in Liaodong (now Northeast China). After several generations of hard work, the Wanyan family integrated the Jurchen ministries, and the Jurchen immediately came to the stage of history.

Finally, there are the Mongols. Temujin integrated all the tribes of the grassland, and the Mongols immediately entered the stage of history. In this era, it is really so-called that you will sing and I will take the stage, which is brilliant and tragic.

When they got to the third floor, Wei Xingping had been waiting there a long time ago, followed by a soldier, "Sister! Your lord!" He shouted excitedly when he saw them.

Wei Yubai hadn't seen his family for a long time, and was happy to see his younger brother.

"Sister, you've been running with the prince for almost a year, I'm afraid you won't even remember me as a younger brother." Wei Xingping joked.

Wei Yubai pressed him to sit down: "What nonsense, the journey will be smooth."

"Naturally, I will bring a battalion of elite soldiers. If the Greenwood bandits dare to attack me, unless they have no eyes, hahaha." Although Wei Xingping is a few years older, he is still like the frivolous general who came to the capital a few years ago. Change.

He was about to salute, Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "No need, just do whatever you want."

"Okay! The lord is really straightforward, he hasn't changed at all." He was about to sit down as he said happily, when the soldier standing next to him coughed, Wei Xingping paused again, "I'll salute, a gentleman is so polite, No, no." He couldn't think of the next sentence for a long time.

Li Xingzhou and Wei Yubai looked at each other and laughed, as if they had seen the way, and looking at the soldiers around him, they were very old people.

"Who is this old man?"

"He's in charge of the mansion. My father sent him to monitor me so that I don't make trouble in Beijing." Wei Xingping said with a depressed face.

When he and Wei Yubai heard this, they both burst into laughter, and the old man hurriedly apologized in embarrassment.

Li Xingzhou asked them all to sit down, and then served wine and food. Wei Xingping was not polite, talking while eating, shaking out Wei Chaoren's explanation to him, and the old man next to him was shaking his beard.

He also laughed out loud when he heard this: "Hahaha, your father is also thoughtful, there is indeed such a possibility."

"Ah, the lord really wants to keep me as a hostage!" Wei Xingping expressed reluctance.

Li Xingzhou smirked, "Hey, if I want to keep your sister, I want to keep you. What are you doing?"

"Oh~~hehehe." Wei Xingping also smirked.

"What are you two talking about, you won't eat more vegetables?" Wei Yubai interrupted hastily.

"My lord, why did you call me here this time?"

"It's a big deal, but you are not asked to be a hostage. When you go back, you have to tell your father that I can trust him, and his daughter is still a hostage here. Let him rest assured." Li Xingzhou joked.

"Let you come, first of all, Miansheng, to tell the emperor about the situation in Guanbei, so that he can rest assured. Secondly." Li Xingzhou paused.

"What's next?" Wei Xingping put down his chopsticks and came over curiously.

"Secondly, as a privy envoy, this king is preparing to equip the Guanbei Army with new weapons, that is, firearms. That's why I asked you to bring a battalion of troops here."

"What!" Wei Xingping stood up excitedly, "My lord, you, you, you, you really want to replace our Guanbei army with firearms! It's the new army, the one used by the new army when they defeated the Liao people!"

Now even the old soldier next to him couldn't sit still, and looked over curiously.

Li Xingzhou smiled and said: "That's right, the Guanbei Army has made great achievements in battle, and now they are directly confronting the Jinren in Yanshan Mansion. The Shanhaiguan to the north is still in the hands of the Jinren. The Guanbei Army is under the greatest pressure. It is natural for you to change your clothes."

"Okay! Thank you, my lord, thank you for your kindness!" Wei Xingping was so excited that he hurriedly knelt down.

Li Xingzhou helped him up: "Don't, this king is just paying for money, and your lives are on the line. After the face saint, I will send a battalion of troops to go north with you to transport arms. , there are two battalions of men and horses.

But they still have a task, which is to hand over the ordnance replaced by the Guanbei Army to them, understand. "

"Understood!" Wei Xingping said excitedly. He was so excited that he exchanged the sword and spear for the musket. Naturally, he didn't care about what to do with the replacement.

　Oh my god, it's getting more and more scary, I'm going to try it without going out for a week
