NCCnovel Chapter 303 Incident
Chapter 303 Incident
Shi Li captured Jinyang City in one fell swoop. The news was like thunder, which instantly set off a huge wave in the court. The aftermath even shook several states and counties around, attracting attention from all directions.
Zhao Hengzhen sat at the top of the temple, and the foundation of his rule was deeply rooted in those aristocratic families with a long history.
In the pattern of the seven major families, although the Zhao family seems to be the weakest, it can firmly occupy the high position. The power struggles and entanglements behind it are like an intricate tapestry, making it difficult to see the whole picture.
On the day of the court meeting, Vice Minister of Rites Wang Wenyuan and Vice Minister of Punishment Chang Ai stood side by side. They spoke earnestly and jointly submitted a memorial, detailing the Shi Li clan's misdeeds and heinous crimes. In their words, they begged the emperor to lead his troops to rectify the world and suppress the rebellion.
For a moment, the court was once again plunged into heated discussions, with ministers expressing their opinions and the atmosphere tense and subtle.
The ministers discussed again!
Royal study room.
Zhao Hengzhen summoned the prince in Beijing and asked, "I never thought a clan could be so audacious. I wonder what the Wang family is planning."
Jinyang is the territory of the eighth prince Zhao Jing, and the other princes all lowered their heads and remained silent.
Zhao Jing felt that the emperor was asking him. After all, the Lu family was behind the extermination of the enslavement of the people, and their intention was to control Bingzhou. He had no choice but to step out and answer:
"Father, this is my fault. I didn't expect the Wang family to be so bold. I believe the Wang family will gather the forces of Bingzhou to fight back, and I will support their actions."
"Well, taking advantage of this incident, the Lu family's troops in Bingzhou should assist the Wang family."
Watching the fire from the other side of the river, the Lu family is very likely to act in this way. Zhao Hengzhen wants to use this to suppress the Lu family in Bingzhou.
"I understand, son!" Zhao Jing did not think about anything else and could only follow the emperor's wishes, so as to avoid mistakes.
Zhao Hong's mother was the legitimate daughter of the Wang family. When such a big thing happened to the Wang family of Bingzhou, he should have spoken out, but he thought that as the King of Yue, it would be better for him to keep a low profile at this time to avoid trouble.
Zhao Qin returned late and learned that there had been many incidents on the border recently. In his opinion, the "Shili Mutiny" was nothing more than a conflict between the Wang family and the ? clan.
Besides, it’s none of his business, just be well and this matter has nothing to do with him.
Zhao Heng tried his best to protect himself. As the elder brother, he did not attend the court today and asked to be confined at home. It can be seen that the trouble he caused was not small.
Zhao Hui was at war in Yanzhou and could not return.
Therefore, Zhao Hengzhen now only has these sons around him.
"Alas, these sons are all useless." Zhao Hengzhen complained in his heart, wondering whether he should have a few more children.
"Then let's do this. The Wang family will try to save themselves first. If that doesn't work, have the King of Dingzhou send troops."
The King of Dingzhou represents the Li family. If Li Xin sends troops, it means that the Li family will get involved in Bingzhou.
Due to changes in the situation, the expressway routes from the capital to Luoyang and Chang'an are now in stable operation. The routes to Dingzhou and Yanzhou have been recently repaired and have been opened one after another.
However, Fan Xitong requested the court to send more railway guards in response to this unrest.
Zhao Hengzhen asked the expressway to solve the problem of the road protection team on its own. The expressway has been profitable recently, and recruiting militia should be able to maintain it.
Although Zhao Wei did not directly rebel, his actions aroused Zhao Heng's vigilance.
According to the investigation of the Dark Cavalry Department, the number of personnel under the Canal Transport Department may be as high as one million.
He left Zhao Heng in the study and said earnestly, "Heng'er, the Canal Transport Bureau controls the grain transport, but most of them are your brother's people. I want you to support the grain transport in Chuzhou."
Happiness came too suddenly. Fu Gang once found him and asked whether the Salt Gang wanted to follow the example of the expressway in the capital and build an expressway in Chuzhou. Now the emperor asked him to take over the canal transportation, it would be a pity not to make the money in front of him.
"Father, it's not impossible to take over the Chuzhou Cao Gang. They are all under the control of the court. I can take over directly."
After hearing what Zhao Heng said, Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Although the Second Prince has not committed any major rebellion, he has acted too radically. Confining him is for his own good."
Zhao Hengzhen just wanted Zhao Heng not to blame him for his brother's affairs, but Zhao Heng misunderstood and thought that the emperor was hinting at him to take over Zhao Wei's current position.
"I understand. I will do my best to ensure that your Majesty is at ease."
After hearing this, Zhao Hengzhen felt a little dazed, as if his fifth son had grown up.
"Did I misjudge the person?" Zhao Hengzhen began to doubt his ability to judge people, and couldn't help but think of Zhao Sheng again. Intelligence reports showed that Zhao Sheng had made remarkable political achievements in Dingzhou.
Not only were spices exchanged for food, but also for so-called coal, which could be used directly for burning at home. It was also said that the development of iron ore was better than that of other states and counties.
These things have never happened in Dingzhou before.
Zhao Sheng's actions really puzzled Zhao Hengzhen.
……
Luancheng.
Zhao Sheng also learned the news that Shi Li was attacking Jinyang. He was glad that Shi Ge had not made the cannon.
Yes, it’s cannons. Where did they get their gunpowder from?
"Yongsheng, tell me, could it be that the cannons that Shili and his men built were leaked by us?"
"It's possible." Zhao Yongsheng nodded vigorously. "Some time ago, news came from Jing County that during an operation to capture people who had crossed the border, one person was killed. He was a worker in a gunpowder workshop in the mining area."
"How long ago did this happen?" Zhao Sheng asked.
"Just in the middle of last month, I never thought that gunpowder would be available in Pingyang County so quickly, and gunpowder experiments were also reported in Bingzhou."
"It seems that we have to intensify the training of our team and the improvement of new weapons." Zhao Sheng was a little confused. He could not prevent his opponent from possessing gunpowder, but he had to ensure that his own weapons were superior to those of the opponent.
Some people say: If you are poor, you should use tactical infiltration! If you are rich, you should use firepower coverage!
Yes, tactics and coverage, these are what I have emphasized in the team during this period, and it seems necessary to emphasize them again.
"When you have time, notify everyone. First, all teams must form special operations forces. They must be organized into a regiment, and their weapons must also keep up. Also,..."
Zhao Sheng said this, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Forget it, let's train the special forces first!"
Zhao Yongsheng didn't understand why they talked nicely and then gave up, but he knew that Zhao Sheng had his own arrangements.
In the next few days, all the heroes under Luan Cheng gathered in the spacious and bright conference room of the workshop to discuss major plans and carefully deploy the upcoming team training plan.
Only Yuan Shan and his group were absent from the gathering. They were shouldering a more heartwarming and urgent task - to go to Weizhou to welcome their relatives.
Thanks to Mr. Zhao's careful planning, the journey went smoothly and the family arrived safely in the land full of hope.
At the same time, a secret letter quietly passed through the mountains and rivers and quietly lay in the hands of Zhao Long of Weizhou.
He slowly unfolded the yellowed paper. The instructions between the lines were clear and resolute: Within each division-level organization, an elite special forces team must be formed. This team must be proficient in all kinds of newly equipped weapons to respond to emergencies.
In extreme cases, they can even use the strength of one regiment to fight against an entire enemy division.
Such a deployment not only demonstrates a foresight for the future, but also foreshadows the upcoming difficult journey. Every link is closely connected and well-organized.
