Poor family mother and son

Chu Qing agreed.

She was afraid that if she was too tough, she would provoke the emperor to take action against Xiaobao.

Xiaobao is not in Daxuan, she is not afraid no matter how tough she is, now, Xiaobao is in Daxuan.

Anyway, as long as she can get out of Beijing as soon as possible, in the capital, she is too much attention to do a lot of things, and she doesn't know how long Xiaobao has been back, or how long the troubles have occurred, and no matter how urgent she is, she can't fly to Xiaobao's side immediately.

But as long as she leaves the capital, it will be convenient for her to contact the Chu family, especially since the route to escort the Voss is all the way to the east, and even passes through Jizhou, it will be more convenient for her to send someone to support Xiaobao.

In fact, the emperor's decision was also a way to slow down the army.

The current Chu Qing made the emperor feel apprehensive, he needed a few days to confirm the authenticity of what Jiaxing Mansion said.

In the past, the emperor would have decisively found an excuse to detain Chu Qing in Beijing, after all, the "endless troubles" reminded by the Jiaxing government office were indeed the emperor's concern.

The matter of "rebellion" is taboo for the emperor, and it must be cautious and careful, but if there is a rumor, it will be strictly investigated.

But for the current Chu Qing, the emperor can no longer act recklessly, so delaying for a few days is relatively more gentle.

However, there were indeed two people in the Voss mission who proposed to return to their home country, and the reason was very strong, because they really needed to raise supplies.

The provocation comes first, the threat comes later, but in the end they are defeated and flee. The people of Voss will pay the price for their actions, and this price will only be heavier than last time.

Although the negotiations have not yet been completed, the result is certain. With the financial resources of the country of Voss, it is really necessary to go back and prepare.

These are all superficial reasons, but the real reason is that King Voss has to go back quickly.

He felt that Chu Qing must have doubted his identity, otherwise she wouldn't have targeted him like that, and she didn't expose him before, it should be out of her own consideration not to cause trouble.

But the situation is different now. He didn't expect that Chu Qing would deal with the missions, but on the other hand, he would use a big weapon to completely defeat his 60 troops.

The worst thing was that Chu Qing burned more than half of his food and grass!

At the beginning of spring, when Voss' food was most scarce, his army lost most of its food and grass, and it was a fart!

Now I have to talk about the news received by the Voss Mission.

Although the information that Emperor Xuan sent to inform them had already surprised and angered them, they still took chances, because after all, Xuan was an enemy country, and it was normal to exaggerate to achieve their goals.

But on the second day, they received the news from their own side, which was even worse than what Daxuan had told them: not only part of the food was burned, but most of it!

Because the cannon used by the Daxuan people can "blind hit" across the slope!
They can still save one or two of them by bombing only the food and grass, but the range of their bombardment is too large, and the fragments of the shells caused them to pile up tents with flying fire, which is a gunpowder depot!
Chu Qing knew about this, because when the emperor received the good news, Chu Qing also received a letter from Bai Jiaxing.

At that time, Chu Yuan was still admiring: "Boss, our cannon boss is really good. If you want to burn their food and grass, you can burn their food and grass, and if you want to blow up their gunpowder, you can blow up their gunpowder!"

Chu Qing smiled bitterly: "This is obviously a crooked shot! Our guns are still too simple, there is no rifling, and the recoil is not solved enough, and the accuracy of the shells is actually very poor;

The inside of the gun barrel is not well sealed, otherwise the range will reach at least five or six miles;

It is not because we can achieve precise strikes that the Voss have lost so much, but because the strike range of the five hundred cannons is too large!

Do you know that with our cannon, with five shells in a row, at most two shells can fall into the same mu of land?
It’s because of the large range caused by the poor accuracy of the chief that they can burn their gunpowder and food, and there is another possibility, I guess..."

Chu Yuan: "I don't think it's bad. The accuracy of the mortar is already very good. It's no better than a heartless gun? What's the other possibility you're talking about?"

Zhuo Yao thought of it first: "Do they have selfish motives?"

Chu Qing nodded: "It should be."

Gan Lai: "What do you mean?"

Chu Qing signaled Zhuo Yao to talk about it, and Zhuo Yao said: "If I am a Voss, and I know that the enemy has weapons that far exceed my own strength, and there are many of them, then I will not make unnecessary sacrifices. I have to guarantee my own strength." number of soldiers
The specific method is to exaggerate the enemy's strength to the court and report more losses;
For example, if I burn a stone of grain and grass, I will lie about ten stones, and I will bring back the extra nine stones to my tribe to ensure that more people in my tribe can survive when there is a food shortage. "

It should be said that Chu Qing's guess was pretty good.

It was precisely because of this that the two people who returned from the Voss mission were in a hurry.

King Vos doesn't mind that the tribes lie about their military situation, but I'm afraid they don't have the heart!Preserving strength is the top priority.

The courtiers also had the same idea as King Voss.

Not only did they not object to Chu Qing's entry into the rank, but they also did not voice any doubts about Chu Qing's self-made murder weapon.

Chu Qing beat up the people of Voss, he couldn't help but beat them harder on the court and on the border, what if Chu Qing used her big weapon to beat their family?Not impossible, right?

So when Chu Qing "escorted" King Voss on the road, many courtiers came to see him off. Not only did they tell the team of officials who escorted King Voss to take good care of Chu Qing, some even paid for Chu Qing's private escort to see him off. Eat a lot.

Chu Qing sighed with emotion: It’s not that having more friends makes the journey easier, it’s clearly that the journey is better because of having more friends!

You carry the load, he leads the horse, welcomes the sunrise to send off the sunset, and Guo Zhengbiao's nephew follows Chu Qing to eat and drink spicy food.

This time "escort", Chu Qing asked Guo Zhengbiao's nephew to accompany him for two reasons: first, this kid speaks Worth fluently, and because he works in a post office, he understands their habits better; The Sri Lankan people have a direct dialogue, and they feel inferior.

With the opportunity of this business trip, and both the people from Voss and Chu Qing have affirmed Xiao Guo's translation level, and Chu Qing greeted the secretary of Honghe Temple, Xiao Guo's translator will enter Honghe Temple after finishing this errand , become an interpreter.

This could be regarded as Chu Qing's feedback to Guo Zhengbiao.

Guo Zhengbiao thought of her, reminded her, and valued this nephew from the same family more, and his nephew was indeed worthy of him, and he would be notified if there was news, so Chu Qing would always help Guo Zhengbiao with an official assistant in Beijing.

Being a servant in a post office is only a contract worker; but becoming a general interpreter means that you have a sixth-rank official position, which is one of the few positions that can be an official without an imperial examination.

(Importance of learning a foreign language well)
In the past, Xiao Guo Translator was wary of Chu Qing causing trouble to his cousin, but now that we get along, he is quite grateful to Chu Qing: "Marquis Linyang, thank you for speaking for me in front of Sir Siqing."

Chu Qing said with a smile: "I can't let you waste money in my shop!"

This is about the fact that Xiao Guo once bought handkerchiefs in Bao Qingxiang.
