Chapter 847 King Zhao surrenders, the carpenter’s son

At this time, Fulin'an continued: "If the prince is not worried about the Ministry of Industry, he can also secretly open a cannon factory in the capital to manufacture this cannon!"

Lin Yun sighed: "Okay! You two are right, this is a wartime situation, and special things should be done! Fulin'an obeys the order..."

"Just as you just said, pick a piece of land in the capital to build a cannon factory! In addition, the production of this cannon will be carried out at the Ministry of Industry! However, idlers are not allowed to approach the production plant! I will dispatch guards to Prince Yun's Mansion Go and supervise. If something goes wrong, I will not only remove you from office, but I will also punish you!" Do you understand?

Fulin'an said respectfully: "As ordered, I will do it now!"

Lin Yun nodded, returned the design drawing to Yang Tiexin, and said: "Mr. Yang, I'm going to work hard on you these days. Follow me to the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with the mass production of this cannon. If you need anything, just ask Fuzhongtang! If he doesn't cooperate, , I will give you the privilege to beat him hard!"

Yang Tiexin smiled helplessly, while Fulinan was ecstatic.

This time he must seize the opportunity to please Yang Tiexin.

Afterwards, the two left.

Lin Yun walked down from the viewing platform and came to the cannon. He raised his hand and touched the barrel, then looked back at Qi Changyun.

"Master Qi, if I deliver ten cannons to your son next, will he be sure of victory?"

Qi Changyun said with a smile: "The prince is joking! With the current combat power of Jiangxia County's 200,000 troops, even without these ten cannons, we are still invincible! Of course, if we use these powerful cannons, it will be just the icing on the cake!"

Lin Yun rolled his eyes and said: "What are you thinking! What I mean is, can these ten cannons make the vassal kings near Jiangxia County who are still swaying to surrender obediently?"

"Definitely! Not to mention ten cannons, based on the range and destructive power of the cannons just now, one cannon is enough to force open the city gates of those lords with different surnames! When the army comes to the border, it will be overwhelming! It is estimated that there is no need to send out How many soldiers participated in the war!"

Lin Yun nodded, feeling as good as ever.

At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Lin Yun and Qi Changyun looked back and saw an intelligence soldier approaching quickly. He got off his horse and knelt at Lin Yun's feet.

"Report, Mr. Jiang, the governor of Jiangxia, has sent government affairs, please check it with the regent!"

As he spoke, he took out a letter with three chicken feathers stuck in his arms.

Ling Yong took the letter and read it.

But Qi Changyun's expression on the side was not very good.

The direct governor of Jiangxia County was a close confidant of Lin Yun. He had privately investigated Jiang Kun's resume, and was very depressed when he learned that Jiang Kun followed Lin Yun all the way out.

This is equivalent to Lin Yun giving the Qi family great privileges, but then hanging a sharp sword over the Qi family's heads.

It could fall at any time and kill their family.

However, he was angry and understood that Lin Yun was doing this to prevent trouble before it happened.

It was just this feeling of not being trusted that made him uncomfortable.

"Ha ha!!"

Lin Yun looked at the contents of the letter, raised his head and laughed.

"What a good Jiang Kun! I know I saw you right!!"

Qi Changyun asked curiously: "My lord, what good news makes you so happy?"

Lin Yun said: "I asked Qi Changyun to be the governor of Jiangxia. Taking advantage of this Guanhaiyue rebellion, I asked him to win over several vassal kings near Jiangxia County. I didn't expect it to be effective!"

Qi Changyun's eyes lit up: "Which one surrendered?"

"It's Zhao Yanliang from Fufeng County!"

"King Zhao?" Qi Changyun pondered for a moment and said: "King Zhao's fiefdom is sandwiched between Jiangxia County and Hanzhong County! It's no wonder! However, Your Majesty, King Zhao's surrender is also expected! You don't know something, As early as last month, King Zhao secretly sent his son Zhao Ji to the capital as a hostage, and he is currently staying in the VIP Building!" Lin Yun suddenly realized, "Let's go back! I want to fight with that King Zhao. Let’s meet my son!”

After that, everyone put away the cannon and rode back to Beijing.

In fact, Zhao Yanliang couldn't do anything unless he surrendered.

He was sandwiched between Guan Haiyue and Lin Yun, and he was no longer human inside and out.

If they don't join one force as soon as possible, once the two sides go to war, the battlefield will definitely be Fufeng County.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Zhao family from becoming cannon fodder, Zhao Yanliang had no choice but to surrender even if he was reluctant.

Even though he was caught in the middle, he was the target of both forces' efforts to win over him.

This kind of geopolitics is the most dangerous. As long as Zhao Yanliang makes the wrong choice, the Zhao family will also be destroyed.

And through Jiang Kun's sweet jujube and the big stick, Zhao Yanliang finally realized that the imperial court had been completely transformed under the leadership of Lin Yun.

In addition, Lin Yun defeated the King of Chu Jiang without any blood, which made Zhao Yanliang full of confidence in the court.

Choosing to return to the court at this moment would do no harm to the Zhao family.

Because it was a timely help, Lin Yun would not only absolve him of the Zhao family's rebellion, but if he successfully eliminated the King of Han, Zhao Yanliang would most likely receive a reward.

This complicated political game is quite dangerous.

On the surface, it looks like it's just a struggle between Lin Yun and Guan Haiyue, but in fact, both sides represent the interests of a group of people.

Even a vassal king like Zhao Yanliang, who is weak and only worthy of watching the excitement from the sidelines, if he stands in his position, he still has the opportunity to use his small gain to achieve great things.

This is the tragedy of being born in troubled times, but it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Otherwise, how can we say that heroes emerge from troubled times?
As long as you have the ability, you don't have to worry about getting ahead. Opportunities will come to everyone. It depends on whether you can grasp them.

Here, Lin Yun came to the VIP Building immediately after returning to Beijing.

Following the guard's guidance, he and Qi Changyun came to the door of Zhao Ji's room.

Far away, I heard the sound of sawing wood coming from inside the house.

Lin Yun frowned and said, "What's going on? Is this VIP building being renovated?"

Qi Changyun smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood! Zhao Yanliang's son is a weirdo. He doesn't like to participate in politics, let alone dancing with guns and sticks. He doesn't even like women. He only likes to be a carpenter! This kid is probably making something in the house. Something!”

The corner of Lin Yun's mouth twitched: "Hmph, I was just wondering why Zhao Yanliang was willing to send his own son here. It turns out that he didn't like him and sent him here to make up for the loss!"

Qi Changyun said: "The King of Zhao had seven sons in total, but four of them died in infancy, and two more died on the battlefield, so there is only one carpenter son left!"

Lin Yun nodded, didn't bother to say anything more, and just opened the door and went in.

But he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

There were sawdust everywhere in the house, and there was a musty wood smell.

But the tables, chairs, benches, and even the floor were filled with various wood carvings.

Lin Yun was in a daze, thinking he had returned to his operation room in Niubei Village.

The operating room at that time was even messier than this room.
