As the sun rose, smoke billowed from cooking fires in Beiyin City, and the soldiers guarding the gate suddenly widened their eyes.
"Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!"
"It's so early in the morning, why don't you yell, will the Vietnamese army come over?"
"Boss, it's not the Vietnamese army, but you see, it looks like a rebel army. They are crazy. A group of people have gone crazy. They may have mutinied!"
As soon as these words came out, the team leader guarding the gate was shocked.
You must know that in ancient times, there was no such thing as military quality. A mutinous army was more terrifying than bandits.
"Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!"
"Quickly, inform Captain Zhang of the situation!"
"promise!"
The guard sergeant did not dare to neglect and trotted all the way to the city lord's palace. Zhang Xiaowei is the general guarding the city of Beiyin City and Zhang Qi's cousin.
However, this cousin sneaked into his sister-in-law's house while Zhang Qi was out of the city, and helped his cousin, who was busy with military affairs, take care of his sister-in-law.
Originally, no one dared to disturb him at this time, but his own soldiers rushed in at the risk of being beheaded.
Zhang Qi's wife first covered her chest, then her head, and then simply hid under the quilt.
"I'm looking for death!"
The guard glanced at it, exclaiming inwardly, and then he raised his hands and said, "General, something bad has happened. The troops outside the city have mutinied, and they are suspected of being brought out by the general!"
Captain Zhang was startled, and then asked hurriedly: "Is my cousin okay?"
"It seems that I haven't seen the general. At this moment, the rebels are attacking the city gate. Captain, what should we do?"
Lieutenant Zhang: "What a shame, I still need to ask. Of course, I will guard it. Bring out the cannon, kerosene, and drum. If anyone dares to let a rebel in, I will chop him up first!"
"What if..."
"What if?"
"What if the general is also among the rebels?"
"Pig Brain, if my brother is here, can this army be in chaos?"
"yes!"
"Go quickly, I'll be here soon!"
After the sergeant left, Mrs. Zhang emerged from the quilt.
Captain Zhang said to Mrs. Zhang while fastening his belt.
"Sister-in-law, don't panic. Without my eldest brother, I'm still here!"
Mrs. Zhang frowned: "Erlang, if I see your eldest brother, I hope I will show mercy!"
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? That's my brother. Can I embarrass him?"
After saying that, he grabbed the sword and rushed out of the door. As he was leaving, he was bumped into by someone.
"Second Master, where did you come from?"
The servant glanced at the back house, and then his expression darkened.
"Second Master, how could you do such a thing? You..."
In the past, he would have panicked, but at this moment, Captain Zhang just drew his sword and stabbed.
"Second Master, you..."
"Noisy!"
Captain Zhang killed someone and rushed out of the door. Mrs. Zhang, who heard the commotion, went out and saw the old housekeeper who had been with him for many years lying in a pool of blood.
She lamented: "Damn it, why did I believe his sweet words? Master, you must come back alive!"
"Mom, why are you crying there without any clothes on?"
A child of four or five years old poked his head out.
"Mom is not crying... Go back quickly, it's cold."
"Oh, mother, remember to wear more clothes!"
When the child returned to the house, heavy snow fell, and soon it covered the old housekeeper with a layer of snow.
…
Under the Beiyin city wall, Zhang Qi squeezed to the door escorted by a group of soldiers.
"Open the gate, open the city gate quickly!"
"The general is here, why don't you open the door?"
On the tower, all the sergeants turned to look at Colonel Zhang.
"Master Captain, look at this..."
"Idiot, I'm still saying that King Wu is here? Why don't you use your brain? Hold on and let them leave, or else just open fire!" Captain Zhang cursed in a loud voice.
Even if the soldiers guarding the city wanted to open the door, they could only watch helplessly due to Colonel Zhang's power.
But in the coldest month of winter, the sergeant below was shivering with cold and had no time to blow the cold wind.
"Brothers, these sons of bitches won't let us live. Charge and break down the city gate!"
"Collide!"
Seeing that the city was about to lose control, Captain Zhang did not hesitate to give the order directly.
"What are you doing standing still? Shoot arrows and fire cannons!"
"Boom~"
A cannonball fell, and a large area exploded below.
"Zhang Ermao, you bastard, I'm still down there!" Zhang Qi yelled.
He felt that he was just accompanying his wife and sacrificing troops. Qin Yun didn't catch it and made a fuss.
"General, let's withdraw!"
"Where to retreat! Help me up, I don't believe this bastard dares to kill me."
Just now, while Zhang Qi was escaping, he accidentally fell off his horse, sprained his foot, and was unable to get off the ground.
Zhang Qi was helped up.
"Zhang Ermao, stop it!"
The soldiers guarding the city were stunned.
"The captain is the voice of the general, stop it!"
"General, you heard wrong."
As he said this, Lieutenant Zhang dodged the bow and arrow, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow at Zhang Qi. Xu was wasting his energy on women all day and was not prepared for his weapons, but the arrow missed the target and only hit Zhang Qi's shoulder.
Zhang Qi was furious: "You Zhang Ermao, if you dare to shoot an arrow at me, just wait for me!"
"Colonel, that's really the voice of a general!"
"puff!"
Captain Zhang pulled out his sword and pierced the man's chest.
"This beast is disturbing the morale of our army and trying to let the rebels enter the city. He should be killed!"
"If any of you don't defend the city with all your heart, you will end up like him!"
"Fire the arrows and keep shooting for me!"
"..."
"He's crazy with this two-haired piece!"
"Sir, please withdraw. Get out first and then talk."
Zhang Qi watched his own people beating his own people, and his heart was bleeding. How could a good encirclement and suppression battle turn into this!
After half a day, the attackers stopped attacking, and the defenders were exhausted.
Fortunately, Zhang Qi and his entourage escaped.
He withdrew from the field and regrouped about a thousand people. This time, he did not let anyone enter the city, but directly sent warriors to go around and deliver personal letters to several subordinates.
Not long after, Colonel Zhang was escorted out of the city gate.
"Pop!"
Zhang Qi stepped forward with two big ears.
"You're crazy!"
Captain Zhang: "Brother, I thought it was a rebel army..."
"Are you messing with you? Someone will drag you down and kill you!"
"Brother, you can't kill me. You can't kill me. The old lady knows she won't let you go!"
"What the hell, you caused me to lose a total of nine thousand people, nine thousand people! Not counting all the arrows and ammunition, are you going to rebel? I will let you go, the prince will let you go. What? Pig brain! Don’t think that I don’t know about you and that bitch.”
"Do you think that if you kill me, you will be the general of Beiyin? Do you have what it takes?"
"kill!"
"Brother, big brother...ah..."
Seeing that no one was moving, Zhang Qi drew his sword, cut off Colonel Zhang's head with his own hands, and then hung it on the city gate.
"Zhang Hui, the guard of Beiyin, had liaison with foreign enemies, which resulted in the disastrous defeat of our army. If we don't kill this beast, it won't be enough for the people to be angry!"
"Brothers, I will avenge you!"
Zhang Qi didn't say anything about how he fell into the trap. In short, he needed a head and a reason not to be held accountable, but his cousin's head was enough.
Zhao Zongrui on the city wall smiled and said: "People are all like this, they like intrigue the most!"
"Master, we have obtained the fragments of the hot air balloon. In addition, there is also a damaged semi-finished product."
Zhao Zongrui smiled and said: "Let the craftsmen in the building study it immediately. I will see the finished product within half a month!"
"promise!"
In fact, Zhao Zongrui could have calmed down the commotion, but he didn't. The purpose was very simple, which was to get the fragments of the hot air balloon.
…
At the same time, at the southern foot of Beiyin Mountain.
After a long journey for half a day, Qin Yun and others finally returned to the fortress via wild roads.
After learning that the girls were fine, Qin Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, but soon he summoned everyone to discuss matters.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take a rest first?"
Qin Yun was sitting on half of his butt, while the other half was bandaging his wound.
"Everyone, this time my king went north, he almost gave an explanation, but it was not without gain."
"Judging from the actual situation, there has been the intervention of external forces behind Wu State. They are the famous Tingyu Tower in Daxia."
Everyone was shocked when this statement came out.
"Tingyulou, that's a huge thing. What should we do?"
"Yeah, can we really survive this winter?"
Qin Yun muttered: "Of course we can defend it. No matter how powerful Tingyu Tower is, we can only provide some assistance. As long as we stop the Wu army, they will have no room to display."
"Of course Tingyulou is best at intelligence and assassination. I think you know this best, Mr. Shen."
Shen Wansan paused: "Look at what I have done, I have long since drawn a clear line with him. However, if Tingyulou is really fully involved, I suggest retreating to Ryukyu Island, where they may not have any informants." !”
Qin Yun shook his head: "If the Yue Kingdom is lost, how will Ryukyu survive?"
"Without Ryukyu, where can Qiongzhou be? Don't forget, the Wu State has strong shipbuilding capabilities! Even if the opponent's ships are not as fast as steamships, there is nothing we can do if dozens or hundreds of them can directly attack our Qiongzhou homeland." defense."
"So, protecting Etsu Kingdom is protecting Qiongzhou, and it is protecting Ryukyu!"
Qin Yun muttered: "I am announcing that all science and technology in Qiongzhou, including steam engine technology, will be fully open to Vietnam."
"Let Qiongzhou Tiangong Institute send a technical team to build arsenals and shipyards in Ryukyu and Vietnam!"
"Qiongzhou once again recruited 50,000 troops, and Ryukyu recruited 30,000 troops for local defense. The ironworks, machinery factories, and arsenals operate in shifts around the clock."
"This time, we are going to fight a protracted war, a war to destroy the country. Either Wu will be destroyed, or we will be destroyed!"
"Shen Wansan!"
Shen Wansan paused: "What?"
Qin Yun muttered: "This king specially invites you to come out and be appointed as the governor of Ryukyu County to preside over military and political power!"
Shen Wansan: "Let me think about it!"
"Dad~"
Shen Yue and the girls entered the main hall.
"Dad, just agree, you are just a commoner now anyway!"
"It's not because of you..."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will give you some useful news from time to time. You don't have to worry about the safety of your little son!"
Shen Yue's beautiful eyes widened: "Dad, when did I have a younger brother!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense, it's nothing!"
Shen Wansan's face turned red.
Shen Yue's eyes moved and she looked at Shen Wansan suspiciously: "Dad, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. Be honest and I'm not angry. You should give it to the Shen family to think about it!"
Shen Wansan paused: "Girl, you don't have to worry about your father's affairs!"
"Then will you agree?"
Qin Yun: "Master Shen, do you want me to kneel down and beg you?"
Shen Wansan looked at Qin Yun's men, who were all strong and strong, and all of them stared at him coldly.
"No, I can't bear it!"
"You said that you were appointed as the governor of Ryukyu County, but you are just a commoner now. What do you want to be awarded?"
"It's very simple. Starting today, I will officially found the country. The specific official seal will be issued after returning to Qiongzhou!"
"Your Majesty, is the name of this country Liang?"
Qin Yun's eyes were firm: "No, the country's name is Da Qin!"
Everyone paused, Da Qin?
"Sweeping the wasteland, establishing the Liuhe, chariots on the same track, books with the same text, words with the same pronunciation, and the world unified, this is the purpose of the founding of the Qin Dynasty!"
