Chapter 1388 The Spread of Gunpowder to the West

"You wouldn't want to do what you did to Yelu Yanxi yourself!"

Sun Lei was hesitant when he saw Wanyan Wu begging for money, so he directly gave him the final blow. He knew best how he tortured and humiliated Yelu Yanxi, and he could empathize with that kind of thing the most.

"Okay, let me tell you, those bearded men in the Western Regions are very interested in gunpowder, so I gave them the gunpowder formula in exchange for their promise that they would send troops to help me conquer the Central Plains!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai said with a solemn expression, as if he was no longer a prisoner but a winner at this moment.

The rise of the Jin Kingdom was quite smooth, and the decadent Liao Kingdom was vulnerable. The Jurchens thought they were invincible, but when they entered the Central Plains, they encountered Sun Lei's Qi Kingdom. The smooth battle suddenly turned to iron, and they could not be defeated no matter what. .

So Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Wu Qimai started to think about it and began to win over the surrounding foreign races. However, as the battle unfolded, they found that even if they gathered all the northern tribes, they could not defeat the Qi State.

The war between countries is either your death or my death. If the Jin State cannot invade the Central Plains and destroy the Qi State, it will still be destroyed by the Qi State.

"Gunpowder formula!"

Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu's faces were ashen. Gunpowder was a weapon that only emerged during the Song Dynasty. It has always been a top secret in the Central Plains. The role of gunpowder was crucial for Qi to fight so smoothly. But now such weapons have flowed into the Western Regions.

"Humph, if I can't survive, you won't even think about it!"

Wanyan Wu Qingmao laughed wildly, as if he had seen Sun Lei's result.

"Your Majesty, these golden dogs deserve to die!"

Zhu Wu said with a murderous look on his face.

"Don't be angry, you will fall into his trap if you are angry!"

Sun Lei stopped the furious Zhu Wu.

"Your Majesty, gunpowder is of great importance. The people in the Western Regions are so ambitious that the Tang Dynasty was destroyed by them. Now that gunpowder is available, it will become a serious problem sooner or later!"

Zhu Wu said.

"It's too late! It's too late!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai was still laughing.

"To me, this is not a big deal, it's just a trouble at most! Don't you also have gunpowder? What's the result?"

Sun Lei looked at Wanyan Wu's begging and said, "Gunpowder doesn't just need a formula. It took hundreds of years for this thing to really develop in the West, but he can definitely advance it."

The pride on Wanyan Wu's begging face suddenly stopped. They also used gunpowder, but the result was that they were no match for Qi.

"Let's go, it's not a big deal!"

Sun Lei stood up and said.

"For the sake of your honesty, I will leave you with a complete corpse!"

Sun Lei left the dungeon with these words.

"Your Majesty, you need to pay attention at this time!"

Zhu Wu whispered after leaving the dungeon.

"Don't worry so much. Gunpowder will be mastered by people from the Western Regions sooner or later. Fireworks are everywhere, so they can't be kept secret!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said, there has never been a ban on fireworks in the Central Plains, so the formula of gunpowder is not a secret, but no one among the people thought of using it for military use.

"This……"

Only then did Zhu Wu realize that the secret recipe for gunpowder was actually public.

"The most they get is the original gunpowder formula, which is the same as that of the Jin Kingdom. These don't pose much of a threat to us at all. As long as we are fast enough, we can destroy them before they develop!"

Sun Lei said, because of this incident, gunpowder was introduced to the West a hundred years ahead of schedule. However, this is not a problem. The gunpowder technology in the Central Plains was hundreds of years ahead of schedule.

"Your Majesty, the war in Liaodong is over, I would like to take people to the Western Regions to investigate!"

Xu Guanzhong cupped his hands and said to Sun Lei, since they were going to fight the Western Region, intelligence was the most important, and collecting intelligence from foreign lands was their strength.

"Okay, I'll send Shi Qian and Ma Ling to go with you!"

Sun Lei said again, it was too dangerous for Xu Guanzhong to go alone, so it would be safer to bring two people with him. "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xu Guanzhong saluted.

Everything in Huanglong Mansion went on as usual. A few days later, Wanyan Wu Qimai and other Jin nobles were hanged in public, announcing the demise of the Jin Kingdom and the end of the entire Liaodong War.

"You prairie tribesmen better move quickly, I don't like to wait for too long!"

Sun Lei looked at my boy and said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will gather the warriors to march westward when I return to my clan!"

I Bahai put his hand on his chest and bowed and said, Sun Lei's massacre of the Jurchens left him no chance at all. The Jurchens were so powerful that they were slaughtered. How could their scattered grassland be their opponent.

Sun Lei left Huanglong Mansion with his people, leaving only 20,000 troops stationed there. There were no organized ethnic groups in Liaodong, and these 20,000 people were enough to frighten one side.

Sun Lei has no intention of letting the 20,000 soldiers stay stationed in the bitter cold land. Next year, 5,000 soldiers will be replaced, and all 20,000 soldiers will be replaced in four years.

"Your Majesty, this seizure is quite rich!"

Jiang Jing smiled and pointed at the endless queue of chariots and horses. The entire Liaodong had been looted by the Jin Kingdom, and these were now packed away by them.

"Hey, brother, when have I ever done a losing business?"

Sun Lei was also in a good mood. The threat in Liaodong was completely resolved, and there was no longer any threat to the entire Central Plains. In the future, the army would not have to worry about the rear when going out.

"Your Majesty, those people like me don't know whether to sincerely surrender or to pretend to be perfunctory."

Zhu Wu said.

"It doesn't matter. If you sincerely surrender, just be a dog. I will naturally reward them with a bite of food. If they don't obey, then I will destroy them just like I destroyed the Jin Kingdom, and then let the wolf live in Xuzhou again!"

"The Tata tribe has taken advantage of them. Now they have enough food and grass. If they don't know what's going on, they are looking for death!"

Sun Lei said to the northwest, over there is Langjuxu Mountain. With Qi's current combat power, it is not difficult for the grassland tribes, and he has already given the weak Tatar tribe to the Mongolian tribes. These people should understand what he means. .

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Zhu Wu smiled and cupped his hands.

The army followed the Liao River all the way to the Bohai Sea. Because there were too many goods, it was too difficult to transport them by cattle and horses, so they had to rely on navy ships.

"His Majesty!"

Ruan Xiaoer stood on the mast of the flagship and looked out. When he saw Sun Lei's army, he shouted excitedly. The news of the great victory in Liaodong had already spread. This time, half a million aliens were defeated and the top brass of the Jin Kingdom were killed. The results were impressive. It is a shock to the past and the present.

"Little Second!"

Sun Lei also smiled and waved.

The ships at the pier dropped off the sailboats one after another, the artillery was also put into the cabins, and the soldiers on board disembarked and lined up at the pier.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

The sailors at the dock shouted in unison.

"Just feel free to do it, no need to be so lavish!"

Sun Lei waved and shouted with a smile.

"How's it going with you over there?"

Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoer and asked, the navy should be fighting near the Liaodong Peninsula and the Japanese country now.

"Your Majesty, that Wu Yong... is really... full of evil!"

When Ruan Xiaoer heard Sun Lei ask, he was speechless, as if he was disgusted by Wu Yong.

"What I want is that he is full of bad water? This bad water is just right to deal with those people! Tell me what he has done?"

Sun Lei asked with a smile.
