The Zhao family of the Jiubian family!
Has this ancient family, which has existed in this ancient land for hundreds of years, finally bowed its head?
Ever since Zhao Qingye was arrested and imprisoned, the Jiubian family has been surprisingly quiet. How quiet is it surprising?
Of course, the public was abuzz with heated discussions, especially within the circles of aristocratic families, there was a lively discussion on this matter.
This is all because of Zhao Qingye's words, "I am the legitimate son of the Zhao family of the Jiubian family. If you hit me, my father will not settle it. Aren't you afraid of other consequences?"
The threat of Chi Guoguo!
Or is it threatening the current emperor? How arrogant and arrogant is this?
The Zhao family, a nine-border family, has lived on the border for a long time, guarding the border and defending the country. They have military and political power. They seem to be powerful, but in fact they are just a group of military households. Compared with the real family members, the gap is not just a little bit, but the difference in background is huge.
But even those thousand-year-old families with deep-rooted strength and intertwined influence would not dare to openly threaten the emperor?
Not to mention the Zhao family, a small nine-border family?
The most terrible thing is that the Zhao family is not the only one in the Jiubian family. There are more than a dozen families united together. The Zhao family is only temporarily acting as the talker of the Jiubian family because of its strong family strength. The Zhao family cannot represent it. The interests of the Jiubian family.
Zhao Qingye's cheating thing has deceived the Zhao family so much that the Jiubian family's identity as the speaker may have been lost.
Apart from anything else, as long as the surname is Li, no one in the world would dare to openly defy the imperial court.
Now, the Jiubian Family has become the target of thousands of people.
When the news reached Jiubian, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Qingye's father, Zhao Songyang, was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
"Hmph!" Li Yi said contemptuously: "The young ones are lawless, and so are the old ones!"
"Who from the Zhao family is here?" Li Yi asked.
Cao Qingyan lowered his head and said: "The elder of the Zhao family, Zhao Yeyang."
"Zhao Yeyang, who is he from Zhao Qingye?"
"Your Majesty, he is Zhao Qingye's cousin and the core figure of the Zhao family. Although he is a side branch, he is known as the Little Zhuge and is unparalleled in resourcefulness."
Li Yi sneered, "Where is Zhao Songyang? I made a mistake, why can't I come out?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that Zhao Songyang fell ill and couldn't even get out of bed." Cao Qingyan replied.
Li Yi snorted: "Really? I think it's a lie that I can't get out of bed, but it's true that I don't dare to come to Beijing."
Cao Qingyan smiled and said nothing, and continued to explain: "For example, a family alliance such as the Jiubian Family will have a family elders' meeting, which is usually composed of the heads and deputy heads of several families. All major matters and minor matters are raised by the family elders' meeting. vote."
"Not to mention such a big matter, it must be decided by the Presbyterian Council."
Cao Qingyan suddenly had a bad smile on his face, "Your Majesty, our people have sent a secret report that the Family Elders Association has revoked the Zhao family's identity as the person involved in the matter. The Zhao family has completely retreated to the second line. And the Family Elders Association unanimously approved that if Your Majesty is convicted, he will be punished." Completely purge the Zhao family from the Jiubian family."
Li Yi was surprised, nodded repeatedly, and felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but think that this alliance of aristocratic families had such a strict system, just like a small imperial court.
At this time, Cao Qingyan said again: "Your Majesty, this time Zhao Yeyang came to the capital, but he spent a lot of money. There were more than 30 carts filled with gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings. It seems that he wanted to use the money to pay tribute. You apologize."
"apologize?"
Li Yi raised the corner of his mouth, smiled evilly, and finally caught the Zhao family's pigtails. Can't he just let it go? If he didn't kill them well, he would be sorry for himself?
These aristocratic families are extremely powerful, have countless gold and silver, and hold great military and political power. How can they be spared so easily?
What's more, Dongshan is in ruins, and post-war reconstruction alone costs a lot of money.
And I can’t leave empty-handed, I must be full this time.
"Let Zhao Yeyang wait outside the entrance to the inner courtyard of the palace and let him hang out all night."
Cao Qingyan looked worried, "Your Majesty, we are from a Jiubian family after all. Is this going to be a bit..."
Li Yi snorted coldly, "I just want them to know that this world belongs to me, and I will punish anyone who dares to explode!"
"No!" Cao Qingyan nodded and immediately arranged for someone to do it.
Immediately, Li Yi arranged for someone to go to the Supervision Office to transport a hundred new firearms, and began to conduct surprise "training" on Cao Fengyang and Ma Chen, handing them modern warfare and adding some elements of a modern army.
Cao Fengyang is a disciple of Sun Tingzong, so he is certainly not a fool. He understood it as soon as he heard it. He nodded repeatedly, and Li Yi immediately asked, "Cao Aiqing, do you understand what I just said?"
Cao Fengyang nodded solemnly, "I understand. General Mo will prepare for deployment right now."
Ma Chen heard it half-understood and always felt that something was wrong.
He is also a veteran of the military and has been familiar with military books since he was a child. However, the formation that His Majesty just mentioned was something he had never heard of or seen before. Throughout thousands of years of history, it had never been seen before. It could be said that it completely subverted his military outlook.
"Your Majesty, I have something you don't know whether to say or not?"
Ma Chen finally couldn't help it anymore and hesitated to speak, "Your Majesty, the army's line formation is strict, and all arms cooperate with each other, but the formation your Majesty talked about is a linear formation, with only the fire gun soldiers as the main force, but there is no Protected by spearmen and shield soldiers, the gunmen are just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and the enemy will be finished with a single charge."
"Hahaha!"
"Forget it, just stay here and watch carefully. You will understand it after a while."
Li Yi nodded, noncommittal to his words, and laughed heartily.
There is no point in talking too much, facts speak volumes.
He showed these generals today that the world has changed and the old military formations are outdated.
Hundreds of years of evolution in later generations can't be a step back, right?
If you are falling behind, then give up.
Soon, under the astonished gazes of Ma Chen and other Beijing camp generals, Cao Fengyang led one hundred elites from the Shenji Battalion to appear in front of the school grounds and arranged in a linear formation.
"Brothers, let your Majesty see the majesty of our soldiers in the Beijing camp!"
"promise!"
"superior!"
As soon as the words fell, a hundred soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, holding new-style fire guns, advanced dozens of mighty steps and stopped two hundred steps away from the iron scarecrow tied to them.
Seeing this scene, Ma Chen shook his head to himself, "The distance is too far, and the range of the fire blunderbuss is not enough. Even if it hits, the iron pellets have no armor-piercing power."
Other Beijing camp generals also nodded, "Yes, the range of the fire gun is the same as that of a crossbow, but the shooting speed is far behind that of a crossbow."
"The iron bow can fire five arrows per minute quickly. If it is powerful, it can shoot eight arrows per minute."
"To be honest, that iron rod is not as useful as a big sword on the battlefield!"
"..."
Li Yi heard the whispers of the generals behind his back very clearly, but instead of scolding them, he smiled. Soon you would no longer be able to laugh anymore.
Cao Fengyang raised his head and glanced at Li Yi, took a deep breath, "Get ready, start!"
"kill!"
Following bursts of killing sounds, a hundred soldiers from the Shenji Battalion armed with new-style fire guns began shooting.
"Bang bang bang!"
Densely packed iron pellets roared out, easily tearing apart the iron sheets tied to the scarecrow's body.
"go ahead!"
"Team 3, keep shooting!"
With an order, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion formed three teams and advanced. Although the process was chaotic, the prototype of a modern army was already in place.
One hundred soldiers of the Shenji Battalion gritted their teeth with new-style fire guns in hand, and rushed forward bravely.
The first row immediately stopped, aiming their new firecrackers at the scarecrow, pulling the trigger, and a series of iron pellets flew out. The second row stepped forward, and started over and over again, shooting the firecrackers as they advanced, forming a continuous barrage of firecrackers. Firepower.
Moreover, as the gunpowder and iron pellets were integrated into one, the shooting speed was greatly increased. The three teams fired alternately, and the time gap in between was shortened by half.
Li Yi couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw it.
Not to mention Ma Chen and other Beijing camp generals, they were all dumbfounded...
Before they could react, Cao Fengyang suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted, "Bayonet on!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
One hundred Shenji Battalion soldiers all pulled out their bayonets, and their shining bayonets pointed straight ahead with a cold light.
Although this bayonet is just a dagger with a sleeve added, for the fire gun soldiers, it is no less than an extra life-saving magic weapon. From now on, their fire gun soldiers have the ability to protect themselves.
"Charge, don't change formation!"
Cao Fengyang is worthy of being a disciple of Sun Tingzong. Just by listening to Li Yi's words, he showed the prototype of a modern army.
Just three words, "amazing!"
"Wow!"
"This... what kind of formation is this, so powerful?"
Ma Chen exclaimed, his face full of shock.
The other generals in the Beijing camp also shouted and yelled, showing no decency at all.
Looking at their appearance, Li Yi suddenly laughed heartily, "Everyone, this is just the beginning."
That’s right!
This is indeed just the beginning. They have yet to see truly more powerful formations, such as infantry and artillery coordination, cavalry and infantry coordination, sea and land coordination, sea, land and air coordination, and three-dimensional warfare. That is the real terror!
"Your Majesty is so talented, I will always admire you!"
"Your Majesty is truly a genius, I am convinced!"
"May I ask Your Majesty, what kind of formation is this?"
Ma Chen and other Beijing camp generals were all flushed with excitement. They had gained a lot of experience today, and this was the first time they had seen such a formation.
Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't hide his excitement and smiled interestingly.
"This formation, I call it the three-stage attack formation!"
