The rise of the prince

Chapter 743 Can't Wait
Liu Xu and all the ministers followed the emperor, vaguely feeling that this Taoist was unreliable, and the appearance of gunpowder made him happy. He was also very excited at first, but when he saw the power with his own eyes, he suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Even sheep can’t be blown up, and they have to be placed in a fixed place and set on fire. How can this be done on the battlefield? Jingguo is rich, and many soldiers are armored. A long-haired sheep can’t be blown up. How useful?

However, seeing the frenzy on the emperor's face, he didn't say anything, probably because the emperor witnessed the great battle in front of the city of Nanjing and was superstitious about the power of Jingjun's firearms.

In fact, Liu Xu didn't think that Jing Jun was the opponent of the Jin Army's iron cavalry. Jin Guo now has a million armors, but after absorbing the land with a large population of Liao Kingdom, 60 to [-] people can get it together. The key is to let the soldiers who have been fighting for years Need to recuperate.

Under the iron heel of the Jin Kingdom, the original Daliao Kingdom was also vulnerable, and the Jing Kingdom, which had been fighting Daliao for a hundred years, was no match.

Therefore, Liu Xu is full of confidence in the Kingdom of Jin, and he did not pin his hopes on firearms. It is a good thing to blame, or not. The 20 cavalry of the Jin Army will go south. As long as they pass Yanshan Mansion and Qigou Pass, they will be able to flatten the river until Jingguo Kaiyuan under the city.

Liu Xu walked this part of the road himself, so he is full of confidence. The Jin army is good at horse fighting, and Jingguo has many infantry. It was impossible for Jing Guo to resist.

If Jing Guo wants to go north, he will be very poor in the south. To the west is Datong Mansion, which is Jincheng Tangchi, and to the north, after passing Yanshan Mansion, is Shanhaiguan. Several states and many cities can be defended.

In other words, the opportunities are not equal. If they want to go south, they only need to take Yanshan Mansion and they can drive straight in. If Jing Guo wants to go north, it will inevitably be difficult. This is determined by the general trend of the mountains and rivers, so Liu Xu is not worried about firearms and the like heresy.

What he was worried about was the Jingguo Navy, who were waiting for opportunities to land in various parts of the Bohai Bay.

Moreover, there have been rumors recently that the emperor has put his uncle Wanyan Zongbi under house arrest.

It is true that the king of Liao was ordered to return to Beijing, but he has not seen anyone so far. Liu Xu also had doubts in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He also knew that even if the emperor did something about it, it would be difficult to say anything. The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and these actions were inevitable.

He walked forward and said: "The emperor has worked hard for the country and found the immortal gunpowder. It is the blessing of my golden country, but I have something to say."

Yeluli turned around, "If you want to say it, just say it."

"Yes." Liu Xu sorted out his thoughts and said, "Gunpowder is of course important, but there is one other thing that is also very important. In my opinion, Jing Jun can't withstand hundreds of thousands of cavalry from the Jin Kingdom. Gather iron cavalry and drive straight into Jingguo for a long time, it will be difficult to resist.

But we have to guard against the Jingguo navy. In the last Liao-Nanjing battle, the Jingguo navy went up from the Haihe River and went straight under the city of Nanjing, and the Liao army suffered a big loss.

The minister was worried that they would repeat the old tricks, so he wanted to ask the emperor to send more soldiers to garrison around Chenzhou and Laizhou, and at the same time set up more sentries by the sea, just in case. "

After hearing Liu Xu's words, the ministers of civil and military affairs and the Jurchen nobles also pondered. Wanyanli turned around and said, "Didn't you say that Jingguo is no match for our cavalry of Jinguo, so what's the point of defense? If they dare to land from the sea, I will not Let me ride on the beach and trample them to death in the mud!"

Liu Xu wanted to say something else, but Wan Yanli waved his hand: "You don't need to say it, I have my own ideas, I will think for myself, you also know that my big gold iron cavalry is invincible in the world, as long as we break through the Yanshan Mansion, go all the way south and kill Kaiyuan City Go, do you need so many small movements?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"The emperor's martial arts."

Immediately, someone flattered Wanyan, who felt comfortable in his heart, turned around without saying anything, and left. He was not just trying to refute Liu Xu, but he was really confident that as long as he passed Yanshan Mansion, he had full confidence that Jingguo would not be able to stop him. them.

Dajin's iron cavalry has never been defeated all the way from Liaodong. They are invincible in the world. Only the strong city of Yanshan Mansion can stop them. After breaking Yanshan Mansion, he has full confidence in crushing Jing Guo under the iron hoof.

Now that he has Xianjia gunpowder again, he suddenly feels even more unstoppable and full of confidence.

At that time, not only will he be able to obtain the rich and prosperous land of the Central Plains, and expand the territory of the Great Jin Kingdom, but he will also be able to prove to the world that he is no worse than his father, and the bullshit King Jin that his father talks about is no match for him!
Thinking about it, Wanyanli clenched his fingers tightly together into a fist.

The eunuch came over and whispered, "Your Majesty, Gao Lixin attacked a group of beauties and porcelain, do you want to go and have a look?"

Wan Yanli was in high spirits, and said: "It's just right, let's go and have a look."

"Hey!" The eunuch smiled flatteringly and led him away.

The dignitaries and ministers behind them slowly dispersed.

Liu Xu stood where he was, not knowing whether he was happy or worried. After a long time, he turned around and met a big man with a beard.

This man is tall and big, with a beard from the chin to the forehead, giving people a rough feeling.

Despite his appearance, Liu Xu didn't dare to neglect him, and hurriedly bowed his hands to say hello: "King Qi."

This person is Pu Chayi, King of Qi, a general under Jin Taizu's command, and also the current head of state. The current emperor's queen, Pu Chaling, is the daughter of King Qi. Taizu was a child, and made a marriage contract since childhood.

"Prime Minister." Qi Wang responded and said, "I think what the Prime Minister said just now is very reasonable. If you want to guard against Jing people, you must prevent them from coming from the sea. When I was in Liaodong, I saw many Jing people who came to do business from sea. "

When Liu Xu heard this, he immediately felt the comfort of meeting a confidant: "Qi Wang clearly observed that the shipbuilding technology of the Jing people far exceeds ours, and there are countless skilled craftsmen, which are their strengths.

And our country's warriors are brave and good at fighting, victorious in every battle, and unstoppable. This is our strength. If Jing Guo's high-level officials are smart enough, they will know how to fight us by using our strengths and avoiding our weaknesses. We will rely on strong cities on land to hold on, and then detour from the sea to harass us."

King Qi nodded repeatedly.

While talking, Liu Xu sighed: "It's a pity that the emperor doesn't listen to me."

King Qi said: "I have known for a long time that Mr. is clever. If the late emperor was still alive, he would definitely agree with Mr. Prime Minister. Don't worry, I will try my best to talk about this matter with Emperor Duo."

"Then there is King Lauzi."

"Don't say that, the prime minister is doing it for my good. If one day my king wants to lead troops south, I hope to ask the prime minister for advice."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

A few days later, the army that attacked the Tatars began to withdraw, and a large number of elite troops went south, but they still did not see the king of Liao. The news that Wanyan Zongbi was secretly detained by the emperor became even louder.

But no matter what, the whole Kingdom of Jin was eyeing the south, especially after the news that the emperor had the gunpowder from the Immortal Family, there was a trend of impatientness.

Successive victories have made many people full of confidence, and the south is more prosperous. Such a big piece of cake, the nobles of the Jin Kingdom have long been eager to see it through.
So various memorials suggesting war to the south flew into the palace like pieces of paper, and were placed on Wanyanli's desk. Wanyanli was very excited after reading it, which was exactly what he meant!
