The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 784 Preparation
Seeing that Chuncao understood a little bit, Jia Ke continued, "It's good that you understand. Didn't I send you a few old mothers and eunuchs here? From now on, you will leave it to them to be responsible for the affairs of Yanxi Palace. It will definitely keep your mother and child safe."

After listening to Chuncao, she kept nodding her head. Although she is now the noble concubine, she must have been born as a maidservant, and after Jia Ke ascended the throne, she had no heirs, so she never offended anyone in the harem. The intrigue in the harem, now that there are a few people helping her, she is naturally willing.

Jia Ke stayed here for another afternoon at Chuncao, and left in the evening on the grounds that she was busy with work.

And Chuncao was a little dazed holding the child alone in the room, she did not expect that there would be such a treacherous person in the harem.

Jia Ke had just finished dealing with Chuncao's matter, and within a few months, another worrying matter came to his court.

It turned out that since the Tatars moved westward, the 36 countries in the Western Regions had been free for a while, but before they were happy for a long time, the big western countries used black clothes and big food to attack with cavalry.

Although the master in black is packaged in religion, there is a deep sense of aggression in his character.But wherever they have been, they consider it their territory.

Then they will use religion to assimilate. If the locals are successfully assimilated by them, they can temporarily survive as slaves, otherwise they will carry out a bloody massacre of the locals.

After many years of dormancy this time, after hearing that the Tatars were defeated by the Central Plains Dynasty and had migrated to the west, they naturally understood that the 36 countries in the Western Regions had been abandoned by the Tatars, so they led the army again this time. , wants to re-rule the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

Those people in the Western Regions are all small and weak. Even if they unite, they are no match for the master in black. Soon, more than 36 of the 20 countries were occupied by them.

The remaining small countries immediately wanted to find a backer when they saw that something was wrong, and the biggest backer near the Central Plains was naturally the Central Plains Dynasty.

So these small countries united and sent a large team of envoys to the capital of Dayan, requesting to exist as a vassal state of Dayan.

And Jia Ke was troubled by this matter.

Because Jia Ke came from a later life, but knew how powerful this Middle Easterner was, Jia Ke thought about it, and felt a little relieved about the policies adopted by those strong men who conquered the Middle East when they were on Earth.

Although the Middle Easterners are fierce and barbaric, their barbarism is completely useless when they meet a strong man of iron and blood.

When they were on Earth, the Middle Easterners were not unconquered. As long as they adopt the policy of iron and blood and kill by killing, and completely kill these Middle Easterners, they will be honest.

If you talk about civilization with people like them, the gain outweighs the loss. You don’t see several superpowers being disgraced in this place in the Middle East.

Moreover, for the Central Plains Dynasty, the 36 countries in the Western Regions were a very important location. It was not only an important part of the Silk Road, but also a buffer between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Western powers, and there must be no loss.

After Jia Ke made up his mind, he immediately held a grand court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where he received envoys from the Western Regions who came to ask for surrender.

After these envoys from the Western Regions came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they had long been afraid when they saw the magnificence and solemnity of this place.

After they met Jia Ke, they found that although Jia Ke was plain in appearance, he had the majesty of an emperor all over his body. These people were immediately suppressed by Jia Ke's majesty, and they all fell to their knees after meeting.

Sitting on the throne, Jia Ke nodded when she saw that these people were reasonable.

The next thing was much simpler. These envoys first presented the form of surrender, and then asked Jia Ke to protect his country.

Jia Ke took their surrender form, and after carefully reading it, he found no flaws, so he nodded, and then said to them: "Since you return to our dynasty, you are naturally a vassal state of the Central Plains, and I have an obligation to protect yours." Safety."

"You are temporarily resting in the post house. As for the matter of dispatching troops, it is of great importance. I will give you an answer after we have discussed it."

These envoys immediately thanked them with gratitude, and then they withdrew from the Hall of Supreme Harmony under the guidance of the people from the Ministry of Rites.

After all the outsiders had left, Jia Ke asked the ministers, "Do you think we should send troops to the Western Regions?"

The ministers below have already known the reason for the arrival of the envoys from the Western Regions, and they have been discussing for a long time below, and they have basically reached a consensus.

Now Jia Ke asked Sun Yan, who is the Minister of Military Aircraft, from above, and immediately came out to report: "Long live the report, the black clothes are full of wolf ambitions. After annexing the 36 countries in the Western Regions, they will definitely spy on our territory. It will still be unavoidable at that time." If there is a big war, it is better to send troops to the Western Regions now and put the war outside the country."

Jia Ke was very satisfied after hearing this, it was exactly what she wanted.

"The chief assistant of the military aircraft has already stated his position. Do you have any other ideas below?"

The people below looked at each other, then knelt down on the ground together, "The minister waits for a second opinion."

Jia Ke saw that the ministers finally had the same hatred, so she stood up happily from the throne, walked around the imperial case, stood in front of the imperial street steps and said to them: "My dear family, today is a big meal in black." Disobedience to Wang Hua, and repeated violations of our country, whether the soldiers can bear it or not, I decided to send the army to attack."

"This time, with Huang Baifeng as the marshal and Xiao Yue as the vanguard, we should command 10 horses in Xuanfu Town, 5 horses in the Fenwu Camp, and [-] cavalry from the Manchu Eight Banners. "

After the great dynasty that day, Jia Ke's imperial edict flew to Xuanfu Town and the Manchu Eight Banners quickly.

After receiving Jia Ke's imperial decree, Huang Bofeng did not dare to neglect, and immediately rectified the army in Xuanfu Town.

Although the current Xuanfu Town still exists as one of the nine borders, they are actually considered an inland army.

Huang Baifeng, as the envoy of Xuanfu Town, immediately rectified the troops after receiving the imperial decree, and marched towards Xi'an according to the decree.

And Xiao Yue, who was in the capital, also bid farewell to his lovely wife Jia Yingchun, and headed for Xi'an with the Fenwu Camp.

The Manchu 8 Banners were even faster. As soon as Jia Ke's order came, each of their 8 Banners dispatched 1 horses, and then, under the leadership of the leaders of various ethnic groups, one man and two horses quickly headed towards Xi'an.

This time Jia Ke ordered the main force of the West Expedition to be 15 infantry and 8 cavalry.

Compared with the Tatars who conquered the north back then, these troops were much smaller, but Jack was absolutely sure that he could defeat the big food in black.

Because Jia Ke's 15 infantry at this time are not the original ones, the troops that use knives and guns, they have been completely weaponized.

And with the passage of time, and Jia Ke's large investment of funds, their muskets are no longer flintlocks, but miniguns using Minie bullets.

The Minigun is an artifact of time travel, but the big guys who traveled through the ancient times all swept away with the Minigun in the end.

When it comes to Jia Ke, it is no exception, although Jia Ke's gold finger has nothing to do with these mechanical manufacturing.

But Jack still relied on some of his own memories, and then coupled with the ingenuity of the craftsmen in the Central Plains, he finally made a rifled Minigun.

Don't think that making a Minigun is very simple. On the contrary, its cumbersome production has almost caught up with modern rifles.

Not long after the Minigun appeared, modern rifles appeared on the European battlefield, which also shows that there is not much substantial technical gap between the production of the Minigun and modern rifles.

Now everyone has a saying that Minigun was born at an untimely time, but this is actually a misunderstanding.There is no essential difference between the minigun and the modern rifle.

For example, rifles, there is no difference between the Minigun and modern rifles. The main difference between Miniguns and modern rifles is the difference in firing devices and ammunition.

These are all temporary inspirations, and there is no technical gap.

Now that there are modern rifles, no matter in terms of stability, range, and shooting speed, they surpass the Miniguns, and everyone naturally uses modern rifles, so the Miniguns soon declined.

And Jia Ke now has no choice but to use the minigun instead of the modern rifle.

First of all, although Jia Ke's industry can produce modern rifles, as far as bullets are concerned, they can only barely produce Miniature bullets with slightly lower accuracy.

As for modern bullets, he has no way at all, at least he has not yet been able to produce rifle bullets that meet the accuracy requirements.

Don’t think that rifle bullets are easy to manufacture. Look at India today, which can manufacture airplanes, tanks, and rockets, but it just can’t manufacture bullets. Now India uses imported bullets from the West, and everyone can use them. Think of the difficulty of making bullets.

And Jia Ke was stumped by the bullet, so his troops had to use the minigun for the time being.

However, Jia Ke believes that even if he uses the minigun, he can have an absolute advantage over the enemy, because the minigun shoots very fast and has a range of 400 meters.

With just two, Jia Ke's troops can sweep away all enemies.

What restricts Jia Ke now is mainly logistics supplies. The current miniguns cannot be like the original flintlock guns. As long as they are casually made by military craftsmen, they can meet the needs of the troops. The Minigun bullets must be produced in the rear and transported to the front.

Therefore, an important reason for going to Jia Ke and letting Huang Baifeng and Xiao Yue meet in Xi'an is that Jia Ke set up a large arsenal in Xi'an, where the shells and bullets stored are enough to deal with a large-scale war.

After Huang Baifeng and Xiao Yue brought their men together in Xi'an, according to Jia Ke's will, they extracted bullets from the arsenal in Xi'an.

After that, the Manchu Eight Banners also met in Xi'an. Immediately after they arrived, they abandoned the bows and arrows in their hands and replaced them with the flintlock guns that Jia Ke originally equipped the troops and was later replaced by the Mini guns.

Although the range of these flintlock guns is much worse than that of the Minigun, and even the firing speed is also much different, but it is also a great black technology for other countries.

After these Manchu Eight Banners are equipped with flintlock guns, they can be said to be even more powerful.
