Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 575 Go from
But no one can predict the general trend of the world.

Zhu Xiuyuan sounds powerful, but in the face of the general trend of the world, he still seems to be understated.

So Zhu Xiuyuan has only focused on one thing in the past nine days -

Find ways to improve the combat effectiveness of the Divine Thunder Army.

It has been less than a month since the Divine Thunder Army was formed. The Ten Thousand Divine Thunder Army are still rubbish. It is really difficult for Zhu Xiuyuan to improve their combat capabilities in a short period of time.

However, there was no time for Zhu Xiuyuan to replace the ordinary soldiers of the Divine Thunder Army, so he could only bite the bullet.

He leaves early every day and comes back late every day, busy in the Shenlei Army camp and Shenlei Square.

Of course, Zhu Xiuyuan didn't interfere much in the training and just let Lin Bochang do it.

With the level of these ordinary soldiers of the Divine Thunder Army, no matter how hard they train, the improvement effect will not be great in a short period of time.

Zhu Xiuyuan wants to find another way.

As the saying goes, if the level is not enough, the tools will make it up.

Since the Divine Thunder Army will not undergo a qualitative change in a short period of time, they can only work on their weapons.

Don't you know that in the small town of Jiangzhou, with only [-] state soldiers, tens of thousands of civilians, and hundreds of generals from the Poyang Palace, and with the power of divine thunder, they were able to stop [-] Yan troops from entering the city.

Among the soldiers guarding the city, only the hundreds of generals from the Poyang Palace were elite. The rest, such as state soldiers and civilians, were simply rubbish.

But even this garbage, after using various new weapons such as divine thunder, can achieve such brilliant results...

It has to be said that developing new and easy-to-use weapons is indeed a shortcut.

This is also the only path Zhu Xiuyuan can take now!

The situation forced him to run out of time.

So in the past nine days, Zhu Xiuyuan has been running around in the Shenlei Army Camp and Shenlei Square.

The results are certainly there, and they are very gratifying.

First of all, Zhu Xiuyuan improved the bed crossbow to make it more scientific and efficient. In addition to firing giant arrows, the bed crossbow can also be used to fire rockets, one of the new weapons.

Then there is the trebuchet, which has undergone some optimizations and is made more compact. In addition to attacking and defending the city, it can barely move around and fight in encounters.

The newly optimized trebuchet, used for throwing stones, or the "Thunderbolt Cannon", one of the new weapons, are both excellent.

The Thunderbolt Cannon is a newly developed weapon by Zhu Xiuyuan.

It can be simply understood as "lime bomb".

After it explodes, in addition to scattering shrapnel and damaging the enemy like the previous "Big Thunder", it can also spray quicklime to attack the enemy's eyes.

This will be a battlefield weapon.

There is also the ancient version of the hand grenade "Zhentian Lei". Zhu Xiuyuan has also made optimizations, such as hiding the leads slightly to achieve partial waterproofing capabilities...

In addition, in terms of the use of fierce fire oil, the fierce fire oil tank has been optimized again. It is easier to operate and can spray farther than the one used on the Jiangzhou city wall before.

Finally, Zhu Xiuyuan also came up with a lot of weapons to defend the city, such as fireballs and fire caltrops.

However, the above weapons are inevitably too bulky. They are good for defending the city, but not so handy for marching and fighting.

So Zhu Xiuyuan has been having a headache with this problem...

In the past nine days, not only Zhu Xiuyuan has been tossing hard, but Han Qingshan, the right guard of the imperial forest, has also been tossing hard.

Because the Royal Guards had a relatively strong foundation, Han Qingshan took another path——

Train the soldiers under the tent fiercely.

Practicing day and night made them miserable.

I heard that the effect was very good, and even received praise from Emperor Chen...

……

Night falls.

Another busy day has passed.

Before the city gate closed, Zhu Xiuyuan took Yan Dashan and dozens of generals to leave the Shenlei Army camp and hurried back to Jiangcheng Uncle's Mansion.

After eating and bathing, she undressed and put on her clothes. Qiu Wen covered him with a quilt, lit some sandalwood, blew out the candles, and opened the door with light steps.

Zhu Xiuyuan was running back and forth these days and was really tired. After the room darkened, he took a deep breath, relaxed his limbs, slowly closed his eyes, and prepared to fall asleep.

I do not know how long it has been.

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
A series of knocks on the door broke into his dreamland, and Zhu Xiuyuan was dragged out. He was awakened.

"Uncle, a eunuch has come to the palace. He said that he was summoned by His Majesty to come to the palace to discuss matters..."

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a while, then realized that it was Qiu Wen's voice.

And what she said, His Majesty summoned him to the palace to discuss matters...

Zhu Xiuyuan tilted his head and looked out the window. He saw darkness, only the light of a candle reflected on it, and the fire was still dancing.

In other words, it’s not even daylight yet!
Before dawn, Emperor Chen summoned him... Zhu Xiuyuan got up in a hurry, feeling completely sleepless and even feeling like his heart was shaking uncontrollably.

Emperor Chen summoned him in the middle of the night and entered the palace to discuss matters, which shows that the matter is very serious.

Zhu Xiuyuan knew Emperor Chen so well that he was simply lazier than him. But now, the lazy Emperor Chen summoned him to the palace in the middle of the night to discuss matters, so there was only one possibility.

Something happened!
What a big deal!
It had only been ten days since the Liang envoy was assassinated on the street. Now that something big has happened, what else could it be?
"come in!"

After Zhu Xiuyuan got up, his eyes went dark. It was too dark in his room, so he shouted an order.

Squeak!

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

At the same time, a bright light spread in, but it turned out to be Qiu Wen, holding a lantern in her hand and walking in quickly.

In addition, Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu, wearing thick fur coats, also walked in.

Qiu Wen and Xia Wu went to light candles, while Dong Shuzhen walked straight to Zhu Xiuyuan, yawned, and said, "Husband, they are so annoying and disturb people's dreams. Husband has been so tired these days..."

Dong Shuzhen complained while looking for clothes in the closet.

When Zhu Xiuyuan entered the palace to discuss matters, he naturally needed to wear court clothes. The three of them got up together to wait on Zhu Xiuyuan to change his clothes.

"What time is it now?"

Zhu Xiuyuan jumped off the couch, found his shoes and put them on first, then stood in front of the couch with his hands open, waiting for Qiu Wen and the others to come and dress him.

It's really like wearing clothes and stretching out your hands.

"Uncle, it's Haishi now!"

Qiu Wen responded while walking towards the closet with Xia Wu.

Candles all over the room had been lit by them, illuminating the room brightly.

Haishi is the period from [-]pm to [-]pm.

It wasn't even early in the morning, so it was still relatively early.

"Your Majesty summoned you in the middle of the night. I'm afraid something big happened in the Liang Kingdom. Hey, I don't know when I can come back tonight..."

Zhu Xiuyuan spread his hands without moving and sighed continuously.

Dong Shuzhen, Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, the three masters and servants, have already brought Zhu Xiuyuan's court clothes. The three girls, with their delicate bodies and light bodies, are spinning around Zhu Xiuyuan, and they are busy dressing him in the complicated court clothes.

"Ah? Something big happened in Liang State. Are senior sisters and the others in danger?" Dong Shuzhen was standing in front of Zhu Xiuyuan, with two belts tied in her hands. She raised her head when she heard the words, with a look of worry on her face.

In the middle of the night, Dong Shuzhen and the others were suddenly woken up, so she did not comb her black hair, and simply held it with a hairpin, which was loose and looked very beautiful.

Coupled with her face full of collagen, which can be broken by blows, dark eyes, and curved eyebrows, the more Zhu Xiuyuan looked at her, the more he felt that Dong Shuzhen was so good and sweet.

Zhu Xiuyuan was distracted, when suddenly Dong Shuzhen said: "Okay, get dressed, Xia Wu, go fetch water, Qiu Wen, come and fix your husband's hair."

Dong Shuzhen didn't notice Zhu Xiuyuan's gaze at all. She was busy there, directing the two maids around.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but slowly raise the corners of his mouth.

The two maids were ordered to work separately. Soon, Zhu Xiuyuan's long hair was arranged. He washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and his whole body felt refreshed.

After everything was ready, Zhu Xiuyuan walked towards the courtyard gate.

There are three little tails behind him.

Pushing open the courtyard door, Nayan Dashan was already waiting here. He cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the car is ready and you can set off at any time."

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded, turned around and looked at Dong Shuzhen and the three of them: "You all go back and continue to rest. You don't have to wait for me. I'm in the palace for this trip. I don't know when I can come back."

"Oh!"

"It's difficult to travel at night, husband, be careful!"

Dong Shuzhen's three masters and servants nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

At that moment, Zhu Xiuyuan took Yan Dashan straight to the gate of the mansion, got on the carriage, and staggered to the imperial city.

at the same time.

In the entire capital city, high-ranking official mansions scattered all over also pulled out one after another carriages with lanterns hanging on them, making waves of noise on the streets of the capital at midnight...

All the carriages are gathering in one place.

That is the imperial city located in the east of the capital.

Zhu Xiuyuan got off the car and met many ministers when he entered the imperial city from Chengtianmen.

But Zhu Xiuyuan was not familiar with them, so he didn't bother to say hello and just went his own way.

Soon, in the Forbidden City.

The main hall is brightly lit.

All the ministers have gathered.

On the civil official side, the Prime Ministers Li Zhong and Yang Tingyu, the six ministers, ministers, etc., as well as the chief officials of various temples, prisons, and yamen were all listed.

On the military attaché side, from King Zhongshan to the generals of the armies around the capital, as well as various generals and honorary officers, including the King of Jinling, the King of Kuaiji, etc., are also included here.

Zhu Xiuyuan was a popular person around Chen Huang, but his title was limited and he was only an earl, so he could be ranked in the top one-fifth of the rank of military attache.

Emperor Chen hasn't arrived yet, and the dragon chair above the imperial steps is still empty.

But the ministers in the palace have already begun to talk about it, making all kinds of speculations.

Zhu Xiuyuan is the most isolated one among them.

Almost no one talked to him.

If King Zhenze, King Poyang and other princes were still in the court, Zhu Xiuyuan would not have ended up in such a miserable situation.

But they all returned to their respective garrison places and are now no longer in the court.

But Zhu Xiuyuan didn't care. He simply closed his eyes and rested, waiting for Emperor Chen to arrive.

"His Majesty is here!"

"The imperial concubine is here!"

Suddenly, two loud voices were heard, and the officials' discussions immediately stopped, and they all stood up straight.

Zhu Xiuyuan opened his eyes and saw Emperor Chen and Concubine You coming hand in hand and sitting down on the dragon chair and phoenix chair respectively.

Emperor Chen and Concubine You were all dressed neatly, as if they were going to court early in the morning.

But Zhu Xiuyuan knew that at this moment, Emperor Chen and Concubine You were having fun, and the attire they wore was exactly what they wore this morning...

The monarch and his ministers have seen each other.

Emperor Chen sat high on the dragon chair and looked down at the ministers. His face was a little heavy and he went straight to the point: "Dear sirs, I have just received an urgent report from eight hundred miles away. In the past few days, what our monarchs and ministers have been worried about has happened!"

"The border between Liang and Tibet has turned into a piece of scorched earth. The soldiers of both sides have fought several battles. For the time being, the Liang army has a slight victory! In addition, the King of Zhennan of the Beiyuan Empire in the north has gathered [-] cavalry to camp on the border of Liang. Go down to camp..."

"The Liang army has more than [-] soldiers stationed at various places on the northern border... At this point, all the Liang armies have been stationed at various borders, and there is no time to mobilize the stray troops..."

As soon as Chen Huang said these words, the whole hall suddenly exploded.

The ministers also ignored the etiquette and whispered among themselves.

But what Zhu Xiuyuan heard the most was the helpless sigh.

Liang Guo had a close fight with Tibet, and then faced off with Bei Yuan... This was not a good thing for Chen Guo, and in the minds of most people.

But there are also a few people who can't help but have a flash of light in the depths of their eyes...

In fact, Zhu Xiuyuan had already concluded that this turmoil would come sooner or later. Now that it had actually come, Zhu Xiuyuan still couldn't help but tremble a little in his heart.

war, unrest...

After the Jiangzhou city defense battle, Zhu Xiuyuan realized firsthand that it was such a huge disaster!

If you were to ask Zhu Xiuyuan what his current wish is, he would definitely say: peace in the world!

But considering the current "international situation", this wish is very difficult to realize.

Because this land of China has been fragmented for thousands of years...

As the saying goes, the world will be divided if it is divided for a long time, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. The world has been divided for a long time. Voices longing for "union" appear from time to time and become the ultimate goal of the heroes.

If anyone can merge this divided and troubled world, then whoever can join the ranks of the emperors of the ages!

Zhao Pu, the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, has always been concerned about going south to destroy Chen and is always ready.

Li Jiye, the Qianwang of the Liang Kingdom, also had the desire to "sweep all the countries, unify the world, and leave his name in history."

As for Emperor Chen of the Chen State, although he is now obsessed with singing and dancing, he relies on paying tribute to the Liang State to seek peace and survive...

But when he was young, he also had some ambitions.

As for the Beiyuan Empire in the north and the Dabo Empire in the southwest, they are all preparing their troops and waiting for an opportunity to annex the land of China.

Even if there is no opportunity, they will create it.

For example, the assassination of the Liang State envoy dozens of days ago, who dares to say that this was not one of the actions of someone trying to stir up trouble?
"Quiet! Quiet!"

After a while, Emperor Chen, who was sitting on the throne, called out to stop the heated discussion among the ministers.

I'm afraid this noisy sound has also disturbed Chen Huang's heart.

The ministers immediately stopped their discussion and raised their hands to face Emperor Chen.

"Now that the situation in the world is unclear, and the Yan Kingdom in the north is watching with eager eyes, where should I, Chen, go? Uncle Zhongshan, what do you think we should do?"
