The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Zhao Yao, who plunged into the rubber experiment, did not return to the Han Palace for several days, but Uncle Gao was used to it. During this period, Uncle Gao was not idle either. Ever since he got a pistol, he has been busy practicing his marksmanship. When he was with He Lianfang, he was a famous archer. At that time, whenever he heard his name, he would feel scared.

Although good archery does not mean good marksmanship, but good archery means good eyesight, and it is very possible to learn marksmanship well.

Zhao Yao saw that Uncle Gao was acting like a vagrant all day long, so he arranged an errand for him to train the recruits of Shenji Camp.

Uncle Gao was once an experienced general. Although he had not fought in a war or led an army for many years, it was more than enough for him to train the new recruits of the Shenji Battalion.

"Your Highness has made this Shenji Camp really amazing." Uncle Gao sighed, "If the capital city knew about the existence of Shenji Camp..." He did not finish his words, but his meaning was obvious.

He Lianfang said calmly: "This is just the simple version."

"Simple version, what do you mean?" Uncle Gao was filled with questions, "Is there a complex version?"

"The fire gun used by the Shenji Camp now is the original version. The King of Han will improve the fire gun in the future. By then, the firepower, accuracy, and range will be even better than now." He Lianfang knew Zhao Yao's future plans for the Shenji Camp, "Shenji Camp Jiying later became an existence that shocked the Zhou Dynasty and foreign countries."

Uncle Gao nodded in agreement: "Swords and guns cannot stop the bullets of fire guns. When I return to Japan, I will also build a Shenji camp."

He Lianfang glanced sideways at Uncle Gao, "Do you have a blunderbuss?"

Uncle Gao was stunned by this sharp question. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "No."

He Lianfang continued to pour cold water on Uncle Gao, saying: "There are not enough fire guns at the moment, and the King of Han will not give you many. When you leave, it would be nice to give you one or two."

"One or two?" Uncle Gao was obviously not satisfied, "Can't you give me ten?"

He Lianfang gave Uncle Gao a cold look in response.

Uncle Gao lowered his shoulders, with disappointment written all over his face.

He Lianfang emphasized: "Fireguns are very precious now, don't even think about it."

Uncle Gao still refused to give up: "I shamelessly beg Your Highness, just ten of them are enough. I want to establish a Shenji Battalion personal guard."

He Lianfang said calmly: "Then you'd better kowtow three times to the King of Han."

"As long as you can give me a firecracker and kowtow ten times, I'm willing."

He Lianfang asked: "Have you gone to the secret guard camp?"

"Here we go." After Uncle Gao finished speaking, he clasped his fists towards He Lianfang, "General, as expected of you, this secret guard camp is even more powerful than ours back then."

"Although I am in charge of the secret guard camp, all training in the secret guard camp is formulated by the King of Han."

Uncle Gao, who was drinking tea, was so shocked that he almost spat out a mouthful of tea, "What, His Highness made it, wasn't it you, the general?"

"It's not me, it's the King of Han." He Lianfang added, "He also formulated the new method of training sergeants."

Speaking of the military camp, Uncle Gao thought of another thing and said with surprise: "His Highness also caused the military dogs in the military camp, right?"

"Yes, he said that dogs' noses are very sensitive and they can detect enemies when patrolling." He Lianfang added, "He also said that Lingnan is surrounded by foreign countries on three sides, and patrols must be carried out every day, otherwise foreigners will sneak into the Zhou Dynasty secretly. "

"Your Highness is right. Dogs not only have sensitive noses, they are also fast, and most importantly, they have certain attack power." Uncle Gao said with a smile, "It's a shame that His Highness came up with the idea of ​​letting soldiers and dogs cooperate in patrols."

"He always has many tricks up his sleeve."

"I saw that in the military camp, the soldiers cooperated well with the dogs, and the dogs really obeyed orders." Some time ago, Uncle Gao visited the Imperial Guard Camp and was deeply shocked. "General, do you have any of His Highness's methods for training soldiers?"

"What, you want to train your people in this way?"

Uncle Gao nodded: "Yes, His Highness's new training method is really good."

"I don't have it, you can ask the King of Han." He Lianfang also agreed with Zhao Yao's new training method.

"The soldiers of the Imperial Guard Battalion are very tall and straight. They are all majestic and high-spirited. This is the spirit that a soldier should have." Ever since he saw the soldiers of Zhao Yao's Imperial Guard Battalion, Uncle Gao disliked them very much. The people around me all looked like they hadn't had enough to eat. "When will His Highness come back?"

"He won't be able to come back for the time being." He Lianfang said, "He is busy planting rice seedlings now."

"Ah, transplanting rice seedlings?" Uncle Gao had just finished being surprised when he suddenly remembered the rice seedlings he saw in the rice fields on the way back to the Han Dynasty. He said with a sudden look on his face, "When I came back, I saw many people planting rice seedlings. It seems that, again, I won’t be able to see His Highness for a while.”

Zhao Yao, who was missed by Uncle Gao, was currently bending over to plant rice in the terraced fields he had reclaimed.

During spring plowing, Zhao Yao took the lead in plowing the fields. Now that rice planting has begun, he will naturally continue to take the lead.

After planting the rice seedlings, Zhao Yao returned to the Han Palace. In fact, he did not want to return to the palace and wanted to stay in Beishan laboratory to conduct rubber experiments, but the ministers did not allow him to stay in Beishan.

Upon returning to the palace, Zhao Yao not only had to go to court, but also had many political matters to deal with.

When Uncle Gao saw Zhao Yao, he was like a withered grass, exuding an air of hopelessness all over his body.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? You look listless?"

Zhao Yao lay on the table and said with a look of despair on his face: "I've been squeezed dry. There's nothing left."

Uncle Gao took the tea cup from Tong Xi and held it in front of Zhao Yao with both hands.

"Your Highness, let's have a cup of tea." Zhao Yao sat up, took the tea cup with both hands, raised his head and drank it all in one breath.

"I really am not a human being. I would rather work all day long than come back to deal with these things."

Uncle Gao understood Zhao Yao's feelings very well, "Your Highness, I, like you, would rather lead troops to fight than deal with these mother-in-law and mother-in-law matters."

"Uncle Gao, what do you want from me?"

Uncle Gao rubbed his hands and his expression became very flattering: "Your Highness, after the trade conference is over, can you give me ten blunderbuss?"

"Ten fire blunderbuss?" Zhao Yao first glanced at Uncle Gao in surprise, and then said clearly, "Uncle Gao, do you also want to form a divine machine battalion?"

"No, no, no, I just want to form a personal guard of the Shenji Battalion." Uncle Gao said shamelessly, "Your Highness, please fulfill my humble wish."

"There are only ten, no more." Zhao Yao said deliberately, "You also know that making a fire gun is very expensive and time-consuming, so giving you ten is already a lot."

"Thank you, Your Highness, I only need ten handfuls."

"There are only fire guns, but no bullets." Zhao Yao said very thoughtfully, "I will give you the formula of the bullets. You can make them yourself after returning to Japan. I will not give them to you. After all, the cost of making bullets is not low."

Uncle Gao didn't expect the bullet, but now that he heard Zhao Yao say this, he was very grateful.

At this time, Tong Xi walked in. After the ceremony, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, this is a letter from His Highness the King of Han."

"Fifth brother's letter?" Zhao Yao said with surprise, "Fifth brother wrote to me. Has the sun risen in the west today?"

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Han wrote to you with absolutely no good intentions." Tong Xi didn't know what he thought of, and there was a look of panic on his face, "Your Highness, the letter can't be poisonous. As long as you open it, it will be poisonous." Fatal death."

Zhao Yao glanced at Tongxi helplessly, "You should read less story books in the future."

"Your Highness, you're busy, I'm going to find the general." Uncle Gao withdrew wisely.

Zhao Yao nodded and immediately opened the letter sent by King Han.

After Zhao Yao finished reading, Tong Xi asked with concern: "Your Highness, what did His Highness King Han write?"

"He said he would send someone to attend the trade conference, and he also said he wanted to do business with me." Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and said with an unclear expression, "He also said he wanted to invest."

After hearing this, Tong Xi said angrily: "I know that Your Highness, King Han, does not have good intentions." After saying that, he saw Zhao Yao's thoughtful expression and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm wondering whether Fifth Brother simply wants to do business with me, or if he has other agendas."

"You must have other motives." Tong Xi said angrily, "His Royal Highness the King of Han must have seen that you are making money, so he wants to take over all your business."

Zhao Yao frowned slightly and said, "Fifth brother is a bit unpredictable."

"Your Highness, what is so unpredictable about this? Your Highness, King Han, is not a good person. You cannot agree to him."

Zhao Yao tapped his fingers on the table lightly, "No matter what his plan is, we'll know it when the people he sends arrive."

"Ah?" Tong Xi was surprised, "Your Highness, are you really planning to ask His Highness the King of Han to send someone here? Aren't you trying to lure a wolf into the house?"

"Even if Fifth Brother is a wolf, he can only become a dog when he comes to Lingnan." Zhao Yao raised the corner of his mouth and smiled brightly, "How can I turn away people who come to the Marsh Mansion to invest and do business."

Tong Xi was frightened by Zhao Yao's smile. He was not worried about His Highness at this moment, but sympathized with King Han.

Zhao Yao waved his hand, signaling Tongxi to exit.

After Tong Xi left, Zhao Yao called out the secret guard Jia and asked directly: "Do you know anything about fifth brother?"

The secret guard replied respectfully: "My subordinates don't know."

"Send someone to investigate the fifth brother." Zhao Yao had just finished his instructions, and suddenly remembered that the secret guard was the emperor's man, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "I'm sorry, I forgot that your duty was only to protect me, not to help me investigate. Man’s duty.”

"Your Highness, after the four of you come to Lingnan with you, they will become yours and no longer the dragon guards."

"Ah, you are my people now?" Zhao Yao looked surprised, "Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Secret Guard A: "Didn't the Emperor tell you?"

"No, even the matter of you coming to protect me, my father never said anything from the beginning to the end." After Zhao Yao just finished speaking, he thought about what the secret guard A just said that they are no longer dragon guards, "Wait a minute , what if you came to Lingnan with me and were kicked out of the Dragon Guard?"

"The four subordinates are no longer dragon guards."

"Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing before?" Zhao Yao said anxiously, "Otherwise, I would tell my father and let you return to the Dragon Guard."

"Your Highness, are you dissatisfied with your four subordinates?"

"No, I have always been very grateful to you, but you were originally the Dragon Guards, but now you are kicked out because of me. I am so sorry for you." The Dragon Guards are my father's personal bodyguards. Being the emperor's personal guard is definitely more promising than being his secret guard.

"Your Highness, you are serious. It is an honor for the four subordinates to be your people." The secret guard Jia said respectfully, "I will send people to investigate King Han." They are indeed not part of the Dragon Guard now, but in the future Will still return to Dragon Guard.
