Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 493 Wang Shiyu encounters a setback, the barbaric Qiuci Kingdom
Cui Runyu felt surprised.

But I think it makes sense.

In fact, Sima can also show this phenomenon.

However, Sinans are huge and not easy to stabilize at sea, so no one has thought of miniaturizing them and eventually using them in navigation.

In this way, with the help of a compass, after the first difficult decision of direction, the second and third times will be easy.

"Fang Yuan, I'm not as good as you!"

Cui Runyu said solemnly.

If Fang Yuan got the compass by himself and asked for it, he might not be so generous.

"You're welcome, it's just a little thing."

"I'm also wary of what you are doing in the Western Region."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

The relationship between each other cannot change just because of a compass.

However, it would be a good thing for each other if their relationship could not become life and death enemies.

"Hahaha, then you have to be careful. We have to study something, and you will definitely be shocked when the time comes."

Cui Runyu laughed.

Smile with confidence and pride.

Their five surnames and Qi Wang were the most powerful family in the Tang Dynasty.

When being driven away by Fang Yuan and Li Shimin, there was actually no need to leave.

But in the end I left because I actually had my own ideas and some research to start.

In order not to leak it out, they decided to leave the Tang Dynasty and hide in the Western Regions to study their things.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

Afterwards, the two of them casually chatted about the changes over the years, just like friends.

It took a while before the two parties parted ways.

"Husband, it's rare to meet an old friend in a foreign country."

Du Miaoyan looked at Cui Runyu's leaving caravan and smiled.

"Yes, it's rare."

"However, the Five Surnames and Qi Wang are still strong rivals. Our business may not be so good in the Western Region in the future."

Fang Yuan sighed and said.

The friendly conversation with Cui Runyu today was actually to pave the way for Jingjue Country.

After this time, there is a high probability that the Maritime Silk Road will only stay in the Western Region for a day or two before leaving for other places, operated by the Jingjue Kingdom.

If Jingjue Country runs such a large business, it will definitely attract the prying eyes of other countries in the Western Regions. It is hard to say how much benefit Jingjue Country can get from it.

The Five Surnames and Qiwang are in the Western Regions. Once they discover that Tang Dynasty products are being sold here, they will definitely find a way to stop them and replace them with their own products.

For Wu Xing Qi Wang, they can completely imitate Datang's products, and the price may even be cheaper.

Not now, maybe they haven't stabilized yet, or even, as Cui Runyu said, they are studying something.

"If the pressure is too great, we just don't want the Western Region market."

Du Miaoyan thought for a while and said.

The headquarters of the Five Surnames and Qiwang have all moved to the Western Region.

In the Western Region, they may not have much reputation now, but with their abilities, they will become the dominant force in the Western Region sooner or later.

At that time, if the operation in Jingjue Country is not good, we will stop it to avoid spending too much manpower and material resources here in the Western Region.

Compared to other overseas markets, this place in the Western Region is definitely average.

Fang Yuan nodded and said yes.

The team set off on the road again, heading back to Ronglu Country.

Two days later, Fang Yuan and others returned to Ronglu Port and met Wang Shiyu and others.

However, what surprised Fang Yuan and others was that there was nothing left of the countless goods they had before leaving.

Sold out so quickly?

But looking at the expressions of Wang Shiyu and others, it was obviously not like this.

"What happened?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Qiuci Kingdom stole our goods!"

Wang Shiyu said harshly.

"Those bastards are so abominable!"

"After I return, I will definitely write to His Majesty and ask him to send troops to attack Kucha!"

"That's right, we can't swallow this breath, otherwise how can we come to the Western Region to sell things in the future?"

Others also spoke one after another.

Originally, most of the items they sold well were bought by large local merchants.

They bought a lot of it and sold it to other countries in the Western Region to earn the price difference.

However, everything was fine. When nearly half of the goods were sold, an army came over, saying that they were from the Kucha Kingdom, and robbed all the goods.

They had a large number of people. Although several ships on Wang Shiyu's side had cannons, there were still many people and big merchants who had helped them at the port, so they did not take action for the time being.

"Didn't Ronglu control the army of Qiuci Kingdom?"

Fang Yuan frowned.

Qiuci seems to be the first country on the land Silk Road from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions.

I heard that this country is quite powerful in the Western Regions. Some traders on the Silk Road on the land told the court that their goods were always detained when passing through the Qiuci Kingdom.

The imperial court had warned the Qiuci Kingdom before, which had a certain effect, but they didn't expect that they would attack the Tang Dynasty caravan again this time?

"We approached people from the Ronglu Kingdom, but after they knew it was the Kucha Kingdom, they immediately expressed their inability to do anything."

Wang Shiyu said harshly.

It's really ridiculous that the people of Ronglu and Qiuci are allowed to do whatever they want.

"Are they gone?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"He's gone. He's gone a long time ago. He may have returned to Qiuci at this time."

Wang Shi said angrily.

She was ready to leave a long time ago, but Fang Yuan did not come back.

Now that she is back, she is ready to leave immediately and go back to write to the court to ask the court to take action.

With such a huge benefit, even if he didn't write a letter to the court, the people who followed him would also write a letter.

In particular, there are two fleets here that belong to the royal family. If the royal family does not take action, they can withdraw from the Maritime Silk Road directly.

"Come here, get the cannon off the ship, and let's go to Kucha to seek justice!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Let's go?!"

Wang Shiyu and others were stunned.

The power of the cannon is very strong, but the number of people on my side is small.

Isn’t it too bad to go to Qiuci Kingdom to seek justice for just a few people?
"Our Tang Dynasty is far away from the Kingdom of Qiuci. It would take two or three months to prepare for war, and it would take more than half a year to complete it after the war begins."

"I can't wait so long, so let them see if my things are so easy to get!"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

As the king of Zhou, how could he go back like this?

This is leading the team by myself. If we go back, we will lose our reputation.

And 300 people are enough. After all, there are cannons available.

"Okay, then I'll accompany you to kill them!"

When Wang Shiyu saw Fang Yuan's decision, he immediately agreed.

This was exactly what she wanted, she just wanted revenge right away, right from the beginning.

But at that time, considering that the number of people was too small, and fearing that Fang Yuan would be in danger if he started a fight, he thought of going back quickly.

Now that Fang Yuan has decided, there is nothing to say, just follow Fang Yuan and fuck them hard.

"Yes, kill them!"

"I stay, I want revenge immediately!"

Most people responded and were willing to stay and fight together.

But Fang Yuan doesn't use it for everyone. Many of them don't know how to build it. Three hundred guards are enough.

Soon, in addition to the two cannons given to Jingjue Kingdom, there were now a total of nineteen cannons.

They have money, so buying horses is not a problem for Fang Yuan and others.

Soon, Fang Yuan's fort was transported to the Qiuci Kingdom.

The countries in the Western Regions are not very far apart, and the Kingdom of Qiuci and the Kingdom of Ronglu are quite close.In less than two days, Fang Yuan and others arrived in front of a city in Qiuci Kingdom.

"Click the gun and shoot me hard!"

Fang Yuan ordered nineteen forts to line up in a line.

"Damn it, if you dare to steal my goods, I'll kill you!"

Wang Shiyu personally lit one of the forts and looked fiercely at a city in front of him.

The cannons fired explosives as the crowd set fire to the forts.

Bang, bang, bang.
A loud sound sounded.

Wang Shiyu, who was standing next to the fort, became temporarily deaf.

At the same time, bombs flew to the city ahead, hitting the walls inside and outside.

Boom, boom, boom.
An earth-shattering explosion sounded.

The city wall visible to the naked eye collapsed, revealing the scene inside.

Despite the distance, Wang Shiyu and others could still see that the people next to the bomb were blown away like ants.

"This, this, this is too scary, isn't it?"

Wang Shiyu and others were turned to stone, and they were shocked beyond words.

They couldn't believe that there were such terrifying weapons in this world.

Especially Wang Shiyu, she had the most exposure to steel ships, but she only knew that cannons were powerful, but she didn't know that they were so powerful.

Inside the city of Qiuci Kingdom.

"Heaven, the sky is falling?!"

"Hurry, run away, the sky is falling!"

"Oh my God, why do you want to destroy our Kingdom of Kucha?!"

The people were frightened and fled in terror.

The soldiers guarding the city had already become corpses.

"Go and tell those who can speak in the city to return all the goods that they robbed me of in the Tang Dynasty and to pay compensation of 100 million silver. Otherwise, this city in front of you will be the fate of all the cities in Qiuci Kingdom!"

Fang Yuan pushed out several Ronglu people and asked them to report the news.

This was brought with me when I first arrived, just to let them know the news.

"Yes, yes, we're going."

There was no blood on the faces of the people of Ronglu Kingdom.

They saw with their own eyes how terrifying Datang's weapons were and could not resist at all.

If they hadn't seen with their own eyes the phenomenon caused by some weapons, they would have thought the sky was falling.

It's terrible, I've never seen such a terrible weapon!

At this moment, the people of the city ahead swarmed out and fled in all directions.

Although the sound was not audible from a distance, their endless panic could be felt.

"Let's go back!"

Fang Yuan didn't look at them and turned around to leave.

Wang Shiyu and others were still in shock, but they came to their senses only after being called out by Fang Yuan.

Everyone came back still very shocked, then very proud, and finally very excited.

In fact, although the cannon is strong, it is not that it is ridiculously strong, but most of the cities at this time are not very strong, and they have not yet considered bomb defense, so they are like this when facing bombs.

In the city of Qiuci Kingdom, the entire city was in chaos.

The explosion was earth-shattering, and the entire city resounded like an earthquake.

In addition, the city wall was destroyed like a collapse of the sky. People thought it was a collapse of the sky and ran away.

The officials in the city were also frightened, but they still retained their sense and ordered the soldiers to calm the people.

But the soldiers were in confusion. Few people were willing to listen to them. They didn't have so much sanity.

It was with great difficulty that hundreds of people were gathered together, and the senior officials of Kucha City finally had the opportunity to go to the city wall to watch.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The huge city walls were destroyed, and the soldiers protecting the city were all dead.

Strangely enough, except for the dead soldiers, almost no civilians were killed and there were very few injuries.

"how so?!"

The officials of Kucha City said with trembling voices.

Such a terrifying scene refreshed their outlook. They couldn't believe that there were such powerful weapons in the world.

"Sir, I have something to report."

At this time, the Ronglu people came to the city.

After seeing the clothes of the officials of Qiuci State, they immediately crowded over.

At this time, people were still running away, still in panic, shouting at the sky and fighting against the earth.

"Who are you?"

The official from Kucha City swallowed his saliva and asked tremblingly.

"I, we are the people of the Ronglu Kingdom. I was asked to come by the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty."

"He said that you, the Kucha Kingdom, should immediately return the goods that were seized from them, otherwise all the cities in the Kucha Kingdom will suffer the same fate!"

The Ronglu people stammered.

Yes, they were still in shock.

At the same time, they were also worried that people from Kucha would kill them to vent their anger.

"what?"

"Did King Zhou of the Tang Dynasty cause this scene?"

"Could he be a celestial being?"

The officials in Kucha City couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it is."

"We saw with our own eyes that they used more than a dozen devices to launch, and then the city became like this."

The Ronglu people said tremblingly.

The officials of Kucha City were shocked again and looked at each other.

They thought about these collapses, but they never thought that it was caused by a weapon.

Legend has it that the fire blunderbuss of the Tang Dynasty was already very powerful, but the weapon in front of us made people despair.

How could Qiuci resist this kind of weapon?

"I, I will report to the king immediately!"

The city lord turned pale and rode away.

It's so terrible that it was done by human beings.

After today, the name of Datang will shock the Western Regions.

Seeing such a terrible scene, everyone was probably shocked, and everyone was afraid of Datang.

The mayor leaves.

Not long after, what happened in Kucha City was spread.

The surrounding countries sent people to check.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the huge hole in the ground and the non-human destruction of the city wall.

If this kind of weapon is used on their country, how can their country resist it?

It's too scary, the Tang Dynasty is too scary, the surroundings of the Tang Dynasty are too scary.

The Western Region was shocked, and the 36 countries were shocked.

King Kucha City.

The king and senior officials of Kucha State immediately held a meeting.

They find it unbelievable and don't quite believe what is happening ahead.

But seeing the lord of the city looking so frightened, they still believed a little.

"Whoever deducted Datang's goods should be investigated immediately by me."

"The situation in Haro City is related to our Qiuci Kingdom's strategy against the Tang Dynasty. I want to go and check it myself."

The king of Kucha is a middle-aged man in his 40s.

Lean, looking quite majestic and intelligent.

After receiving the report from the city lord, a decision was made immediately.

"Your Majesty, I will accompany you."

A minister responded.

The king of Kucha did not refuse or delay, and set out immediately.
