The rise of the prince

Chapter 742

bang
In the river bend outside the port of Wangfu, there was an endless stream of gunfire. The hillside on the opposite bank was splashed with earth and rocks, and the sky was full of dust. The newly installed batch of artillery has been training for a long time, and the second batch will be in place today.

Li Xingzhou followed Shiyu to send the second batch of guns. A large part of the palace's finances are now spent on new guns, and Shiyu is also very concerned about it.

After a while, Di Zhi and Shen Lin also came over and met with each other.

"How are you practicing?"

"My lord, the new cannon is easier to operate than the old one, and it's more accurate after you get used to it. Now, when you hit a table-sized target two miles away, you can hit seven or eight out of ten shots." Di Zhi said excitedly.

The hit rate of two miles is already very scary. In this era, when the two armies are at war, the general forward positions are only about one mile (500 meters).

"Not bad!" Li Xingzhou was very happy, and then reminded: "But you can't be careless about this matter. After all, it's a shore training. It's not easy to fight when you get on the boat."

Everyone nodded, and then went to the forest and said: "My lord, this new cannon is so accurate when it hits two miles away. If it really hits, the enemy doesn't know how to die. The two armies are facing each other. The front line is only about half a mile away. Now it can shoot two miles apart. They are blowing up, no matter how much they fight this battle, they will not be able to get through even if they have two legs."

Everyone laughed, and Li Xingzhou also laughed. The range of the gun is naturally longer. Two miles is the most ideal strike range. This distance can, with a high probability, hit every shot, but still remind:
"Don't underestimate the enemy. There is also a need to strengthen training in night battles. The Jin army is famous for its ability to fight day and night. Yelu Dashi also told me that the Liao Kingdom suffered a great loss from the night attack of the Jin army, which caught the Liao army by surprise. "

The two nodded and noted that Li Xingzhou also added some animal offal to the new army's meals every now and then to prevent widespread night blindness among the soldiers.

From the small to the big picture, he must be tight-fitting. This is Li Xingzhou's character. If you don't do it, you will do it. Once you do it, you will do your best.

After making another round of inspections, greeting the soldiers and boosting their morale, Li Xingzhou and Shiyu returned in a carriage.

In the carriage, Li Xingzhou put away the smile he had just met with the soldiers, and his melancholy seemed to return to his heart.

The poem said: "What is the prince worried about?"

"What else can I do? It's Yelu Dashi, that smelly and hard rotten stone. I promised him so many benefits and so many hints, but he just won't let go." Li Xingzhou said angrily.

Looking up, he saw Shiyu sitting opposite him looking at him with a strange look.

He was also surprised, looked down at himself, nothing ah, then pulled her over and hugged her, said with a smirk: "You are usually the smartest, do you have any good ideas?"

Shiyu gently pushed him away, now that the weather is getting warmer, it is uncomfortable to be hugged by him like this, "Is the prince really stupid or pretending to be stupid to test me, I am not the kind of jealous villain."

He was confused when he heard it, "Are you talking about a jealous villain again?"

Shiyu pinched him lightly, and rolled his eyes: "Whether the prince is really stupid or fake, can't you see that the king of Liao is hardworking?"

He shook his head, Yelu Dashi's intentions?He really didn't see it.

The poem was so angry and funny, Li Xingzhou felt that his IQ was kissed by this little lady, and hugged him on his lap in displeasure: "Say it quickly, if you don't say it, I will punish you for my husband."

Shiyu was ashamed and afraid, and struggled slightly: "It's bright and sunny, don't always be like that."

"Your lord still can't see it, what about King Liao, what's so strange about coming to the palace every day?"

Li Xingzhou thought for a while, then shook his head: "No."

"No way." Shiyu gave him a white look, and then said: "Every time the king of Liao came, he would bring Wei Guo's princess Yelu Yali with him every time. The prince didn't want to think about it. A little lady?

Besides, the prince proposed to Yelu Dashi several times before that Princess Wei and Xungui should marry each other. In order to let them gain a foothold in Beijing, the king of Liao refused on the grounds of being young, different customs, and language barriers. Why? "

"Why?"

"It's not clear. The king of Liao wants the prince to marry Princess Yelu so that he can rest assured. He has no roots and branches in Jingguo, and he can only rest assured if he climbs up to the prince."

"What?" Li Xingzhou looked confused. Based on his experience, he thought that Yelu Dashi took Yelu Yali with him like a visit from later generations. Adults would bring their own children along to take care of them, that's all.
"I didn't promise him so many benefits, I promised him." Soon he straightened his head and found that he had made another mistake, which was to look at this issue from the perspective of future generations.

He did promise, but how much was the promise worth?Now it is not like later generations, black and white, with legal protection, he overestimates the role of promises, promises are just a few words, and it is very likely to become empty words.

Therefore, the most common and most recognized and believed way of commitment in this era is marriage, and only blood relationship is the most reliable way of alliance.

Thinking of this, he suddenly came to his senses. If it wasn’t for the awakening of the poem, he would still be a blind man feeling the elephant. Why did Yelu Dashi bring Yelu Yali to the palace every time he talked about something? I’m afraid Degong, He Zhao and others would have seen it through. After all, Gillian is De Gong's granddaughter, He Qian is He Zhao's daughter, one is his main concubine, the other is a side concubine, it's no wonder they are happy, so they didn't remind him.

After all this, he was the only one still in the fog, thinking hard.

"Although the little lady is from a foreign race, she was born with bright eyes and bright teeth. I feel pity for her. Your lord is really lucky." Shiyu said softly, but her words were sour.

He hugged her funny, "Don't make trouble, I just don't know what to do."

In fact, getting married means a political marriage, but He Qian and him have known each other for a long time and have experienced a lot together.

But Yelu Yali is different. If he really married Yelu Dashi to win her over, it would be a completely political marriage without any emotions involved. He is very resistant to such things.

"Boom!" There was a loud explosion, and the dust on the schoolyard was flying, and the blue smoke rose. The few sheep tied to the side ran away in fright, but because they were tied, they kept struggling, and the white hair on their bodies was soon stained with blood. red.

Wanyanli in the distance and the people around him watched this scene excitedly, the formation was exactly the same as when the Jing army fought the Liao army!
After a while, he frowned again, and said to the old man who thought he was wearing a Taoist robe, with a long face and thin shoulders, "Master Xuanmiao, why don't those sheep die?"

Faced with the emperor's questioning, the old Taoist was not panicked, but pointed to the sheep in the distance: "Your Majesty, King Jingguo Jin used this kind of fairy treasure. Splash, those sheep didn't die right away, but after a while they'd bleed to death."

"I remember Jing Jun can hurt people a hundred paces away"

"That's it, it's another method, but this method is not the specialization of the poor, but the fairy art of my uncle Xuanxu, and King Jingguo Jin was taught by my uncle." appearance.

"Then where can I find senior brother!" Wan Yanli said excitedly.

"There is no fixed place to live, no trace to be found." Xuanmiao said, "But the emperor don't need to worry, until tomorrow, I will go up to the altar and send a sound transmission for thousands of miles to call him."

"Okay, okay! This is the best!" Wanyanli blushed with excitement.

"However, it's not easy to use up the sound transmission method for thousands of miles. It is necessary to use good mountain treasures to nourish the Taoist body." Mysteriously hesitated to speak.

"I'll let someone do it. I'm giving the immortal teacher Jin Qianliang, sir, just do it, as long as you can produce something exactly like Jing Jun!"
