Wanli 1592

Chapter 1306 He is just the emperor
The rifled flintlock is a firearm with considerable range and accuracy.

Although the rate of fire is relatively slow, forming an army formation and using segmented fire tactics can also form combat effectiveness, and its efficiency is much higher than that of bird guns.

However, training a flintlock team requires even greater energy and investment. Xiao Ruxun spent a lot of energy and money training the 2000-man flintlock team directly under him. fed out.

This army is completely different from the blunderbuss team that wins by numbers and closes their eyes blindly. The accuracy is so easy to say, it all depends on the number to win, and the rifled flintlock is different.

That's why the 2000 flintlock musketeers in the army are now called "Dragon Cavalry", implying that Xiao Ruxun, the real dragon emperor's personal guard cavalry, is a title that only they have.

Now Xiao Ruxun wants to expand the number of dragoons to 1.

This is still insignificant for the entire country, but for the Ministry of Military Industry, it is already a huge workload.

Taking people's money to eliminate disasters, taking so many benefits from Emperor Xiao, how can there be any reason not to work hard for him?

The craftsmen think so, and they always maintain a full enthusiasm for work.

After returning from the inspection, Xiao Ruxun had a new understanding of the production capacity of his craftsmen, so he told the diplomats not to worry about the output, and just take orders from the foreign vassals.

In the next few days, the negotiations ended one after another, and the foreign lords had to rush back to deal with government affairs. Their status was not as stable as that of Xiao Ruxun. When they came, they needed Xiao Ruxun to send troops to deter them, and when they went back, they also needed Xiao Ruxun to send troops to escort them.

Li Yan soon came to Xiao Ruxun to bid farewell. He also bought a batch of arms. He had no money, but according to some mineral mining contracts he had signed with Daqin, with a few more years, he could exchange them for corresponding weapons, or even You can also get some help from instructors.

At the same time, Li Yan made a final confirmation with Xiao Ruxun on what he was most worried about.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to go back and give an explanation to my courtiers about the matter of the son. There are not a few of my courtiers who hope to have an explanation. I implore Your Majesty to make the decision."

This old guy seems soft and easy to bully, and he is indeed easy to bully, but when it comes to his core interests of the throne, even his father dares to call him to blame him.

His meaning was very clear, and he hoped that Daqin would give a clear explanation, so that those two classes of ministers who like to talk cannon have nothing to talk about, let them shut up and not talk, and it would be convenient for him to do some tricks to take down Mr. Guanghai.

It's that simple.

For Xiao Ruxun, there is absolutely no hindrance to making such a decree. It is a common rule for everyone to establish a heir and an elder. Now Li Yan has no son, and the eldest son is guilty and cannot inherit the throne. At this time, it is only natural that there is a vacancy of.

However, in order to strengthen the hearts of the people, he canonized Lord Guanghai as his son before, which made him unreasonable. If Daqin made it clear at this time, he would be taking the blame for Li Yan.

Xiao Ruxun is not willing to carry a big pot for no reason.

It is true that Daqin is the suzerain state, but the suzerainty exercised by the suzerainty should have a sense of righteousness. Only by exercising the suzerainty in a legitimate way can people be convinced. If Li Yan wants Xiao Ruxun to take the blame, it will easily damage the reputation of Daqin. Xiao Ruxun would definitely not agree.

"Li Qing, I can understand your desire to let your son-in-law inherit the throne, but you can't completely ignore Mr. Guanghai. Now Mr. Guanghai is your canonized heir son. If I say I will remove him, I will remove him. It will be said that I forcibly interfere in your domestic affairs, which is not good, and I will definitely not interfere in your domestic affairs."

When Xiao Ruxun said so, Li Yan actually wanted to complain in his heart.

It's the garrison and the embassy. Your sense of presence is stronger than mine. You don't interfere in internal affairs, but why do I feel so weird?
"Then what does His Majesty think?"

Li Yan still wanted Xiao Ruxun to give him an accurate word. As people get older, they are prone to all kinds of worries and fears. Li Yan is really afraid that Xiao Ruxun will wait for him to go back and send him an imperial decree, officially canonizing King Guanghai as king. Son, then he will be depressed.

"What I mean is..."

Xiao Ruxun said in a low voice: "You go back, wait for your queen to really give birth to a son, and then find a reason why Mr. Guanghai violated the law and tell me, so that I can canonize your son-in-law as the prince's son."

Xiao Ruxun has spoken to this point, if Li Yan still wants to say something, he is really ignorant. Fortunately, Li Yan has not lived in vain for so long. He understood what Xiao Ruxun meant, and left Beijing with gratitude .

Xiao Ruxun had to say that the little old man Li Yan was a bit insane, and his emphasis on power seemed to have reached the state of insanity.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start worrying about his future self.

No one can maintain sufficient energy and interest in the same job for a long time, no matter what kind of job it is, the emperor is the same, so this is why many wise emperors in history will be foolish when they get old, such as the famous Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.

There is a saying in the academic world called "the decline of the ruling power of old emperors". as a result of.

For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Liang, Tang Xuanzong, Ming Shizong and Ming Shenzong, and Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.

This is actually quite in line with some modern conclusions. Xiao Ruxun looked at Li Yan who had gone away, and was not worried about what might happen in the future.

His desire for power and control is very strong, and he himself is self-conscious. In order to change this era and lead Daqin to a different tomorrow, he takes all the power into his own hands and does not allow anyone to threaten or covet him.

For this reason, he set off the land reform and the great purge, stepped on the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and became the only king.

Sometimes he even felt that he was no different from the ancient emperors. It was such emperors who worried that their power would be threatened and became very sensitive.

But when he came back to his senses and thought about it, he could think of some inevitable endings and consequences. Thinking of the possible collapse of the dynasty and certain future situations, he couldn't help but start thinking about what he should do, what should he do? Carry out the imperial power to the end or find other ways.

After thinking for a long time, he came to an accurate conclusion.
