Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 483
The Longwu Army was a new army that Jingguo had vigorously supported and trained during this period. It was led by Gao Yuan and Wu Guanhai in name.

Now is the time to test the combat effectiveness of this Longwu Army.

Gao Yuan looked determined, looked at each other with Yu Chenggong, and nodded solemnly: "I accept your order!"

Wu Rulong ordered his troops again: "Paul Chen!"

A middle-aged man came out: "I'm here."

"I order you to be the vanguard of the left army and lead [-] Xuanwu soldiers to help Guzhou!"

"The minister takes orders!"

The three strikers are there, but they still lack a coach.

Wu Rulong looked at the group of generals, and no one showed any signs of shrinking back.

But after all, what we have to face this time is not Zhou Guo Qi Guo, these old opponents who have been dealing with for decades.

Wu Rulong thought for a while, but still looked at Xu Ning, the protector of the country. The veteran was already over sixty years old.

But his cultivation level is high enough to reach the middle level of the fourth grade, so he is far more powerful than those octogenarians in the market.

In addition, the Protector Xu Ning has always been thoughtful, mature and prudent, and he will never make some low-level mistakes.

Seeing His Majesty's eyes looking at him, Xu Ning also knew that the other party wanted him to go into battle again.

Wu Rulong didn't need to speak, Xu Ning walked out with a casual smile and asked for orders: "Your Majesty, Xu Ning please take command!"

Wu Rulong laughed loudly: "Okay! Lord Protector is worthy of holding up the jade pillar for our great scenery! I'm sure! Xu Ning obeys your order!"

"exist!"

Wu Rulong's tone was decisive: "I order you to take charge of the three armies as the Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses, and lead the army to Guzhou to wipe out the enemy invaders!"

"Even if they really want to take advantage of the foreign barbarians who have disappeared for hundreds of years, let them take a good look at me. I am not a soft persimmon like Song and Zhao who can still be manipulated at will!"

The Song and Zhao mentioned by Wu Rulong were the former dynasties of Jingguo.

Xu Ning said happily: "I obey!"

The soldiers who went on the expedition took the imperial orders to gather troops and horses. Most of the civil servants and generals did not take the enemy troops in Guzhou seriously.

Because the current Jingguo can be said to be the most powerful existence among the four countries in terms of soldiers and horses.

How powerful can a foreign barbarian who has disappeared for hundreds of years and suddenly appeared again be?
According to the records in the ancient books of the previous dynasty, these guys are just more capable cavalry and are not good at attacking cities and demolishing strongholds.

This is nothing to worry about at all, Zhou State’s Iron Float Picture is also amazing!But can he still ride a horse and climb a city wall that is often more than ten or twenty meters high?

It is precisely because of this idea that most officials do not feel that these emerging enemies can cause much trouble.

It's just that they didn't expect that this time their opponent would be so terrifying, and they almost broke through their great scenery!
At the same time, Zhao Kang, who was far away in Qianguo, naturally didn't know that such a big thing had happened in Jingguo.

And this time Jing Guo had no intention of sending anyone to notify Qian Guo.

After all, Qian Guo is still recuperating and won't be of much use. They, Jing Guo, can just deal with it themselves.

In the imperial city's imperial garrison.

Zhao Kang watched as the cannon in front of him blasted out a huge fireball, and a violent explosion sounded. He waited until the smoke and dust dissipated.

Looking at the place [-] steps away, a big crater was blown directly, which is enough to show that Zhao Kang and the others used manganese-rich gunpowder when developing the cannon.

There were many war horses gathered around, and many of them became a little restless when the shells exploded.

But it is much better than the previous situation where they were frightened and fled in all directions as soon as the sound of running was heard. No matter how the cavalry comforted them, they could not reduce their fear. It was much better.

This is one of the training items for soldiers today.

It is necessary to let Qian Guo's war horses become familiar with the sound of artillery.

When the number of cannons is not enough, cavalry is still needed to charge into the formation.

Zhao Kang could even think of a picture. When the Qianguo and Ren armies faced each other in the future, they would blast for two rounds and then charge with the cavalry.There is no need to fight in that scene, the enemy army will collapse, and there is no need to fight at all!
Looking up at the sky, Zhao Kang looked playfully. It would be even more wonderful if he built a plane to gain air supremacy.

Who can withstand a wave of air strikes before a war?
But this thing can only be thought about, he doesn't have such great ability.

Eh!but?

Suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, I couldn’t make a plane, but I could try a hot air balloon!
This is much easier than flying, you can try it!
While Zhao Kang was still immersed in fantasy, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army came: "National Preceptor!"

Zhao Kang turned around: "What's wrong?"

The deputy commander said respectfully: "Your Majesty sent someone to invite you back to the palace."

"I know, I'll be there in a minute."

Zhao Kang responded and got on the sedan chair to return to the palace.

The New Year has passed early, and today's Qian Country has a prosperous scene where the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

The grain shortage in Qingzhou has been completely brought under control. With the help of the government, the people have received rice seeds and started farming.

The Yunshan Mine outside Youzhou can mine large quantities of iron ore to smelt steel every day.

Xiao Linglong even ordered officials from Jiangling Prefecture to help expand Yuanjiang County and allocated a large amount of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs to open factories.

Even other state capitals have begun to set up factories.

The Daqian Chamber of Commerce, which Zhao Kang had previously founded, also began its foreign trade this year. Many merchants in Qi and Zhou dynasties began to do business with people from the Daqian Chamber of Commerce.

In particular, the Qianguo Chamber of Commerce under Princess Mingzhu of Qi has begun to make a list to prepare for doing business with Zhao Kang.

People's livelihood, economy, military affairs and government affairs are all improving steadily.

It can be said that the beginning of this year was the most leisurely time for Zhao Kang.

In addition to coming to the military camp every day to fire a few cannons and check the progress of cannon casting.

I just go back to the palace to accompany Her Majesty the Empress to relieve her boredom, or I take Yufeng to study and learn new postures.

The little life was going smoothly.

Back to the palace.

When they came to the garden, they saw a table set up in the garden, and the three women looked at them with interest.

Zhao Kang twitched the corner of his mouth and said deliberately: "You three playthings are so demoralizing! One of you doesn't handle government affairs well, one doesn't practice martial arts well, and the other doesn't serve your national master well! You've been staring at this mahjong all day long. If you had known better, you wouldn't have made it. You guys played."

"Hey, master, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get to the table. I'm sure I can win today!" Wu Qingluan snorted.

There are some small wooden squares on the square table, which are mahjong made by Zhao Kang to relieve Xiao Linglong's boredom.

As a result, these people became addicted during this time.

Her Majesty the Empress would read the memorial every day, and as long as there was nothing major, she would leave it to Xiao Xuance to deal with, and then set a table in the garden.

Qin Yufeng was even more focused on mahjong. Xiao Linglong didn't sway anyone, so she took the mahjong to make a date in the imperial capital.

Wu Qingluan simply gave up on martial arts and worked hard on his card skills every day.

It's no wonder that Zhao Kang would say that he loses his ambition by playing with things.

Just when Zhao Kang was spending time with the three of them.

ancient state.

As a violent explosion sounded, the gate of Yunshang City, the last city among the six cities, was blown open.

Chamuha laughed ferociously, and with a wave of his hand, thousands of golden men and cavalry rushed into the city.
