Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 639: Inspect the arsenal

Why is the prince of the feudal dynasty called the country's capital? Because having an heir like the prince will greatly dispel the ambitions of the ambitious family. Otherwise, people's hearts will fluctuate, and they will think, if After killing Li Xuan, can I also go up and sit on the throne of the emperor?

But if Li Xuan has an heir, then everything will be different. At that time, even if Li Xuan is dead, but those courtiers still have objects of allegiance, then Li Xuan's son is just a baby!

Even if the courtiers wanted to keep their vested interests, or simply play with the emperor to make the princes' minds, some of them would choose to stand on the side of the young master and fight against the rebel careerists.

It's just that Li Xuan's health has not been very good in the past few years. Those imperial doctors have nursed Li Xuan's body for a few years, and then it can be regarded as a gradual improvement. Then, after Li Xuan's hard work for so long, it is the queen Dong Yunyun who is pregnant.

And this is actually the reason why Empress Dowager Bai directly sent her most effective confidant, Xia Ma, to Dong Yunyun's side after Dong Yunyun was pregnant. When Princess Huichen, who weighed 100 jins, fled, she walked like a fly, and walked for more than ten miles without blinking an eye!

This person has backed Li Xuan and Dong Yunyun!

Although Dong Yunyun was said to be pregnant, Li Xuan felt that it was still not enough insurance. What if the child born in Wan Yisheng was a daughter? Don't expect a princess to become the heir of the Tang Dynasty. If this is feasible, then Princess Huichen, whose weight is continuing to rise, can also become the heir of the Tang Dynasty.

But actually?

no!

Princess Huichen's presence in the Tang Dynasty and even in the harem of the Tang Dynasty was very low. Even the Queen Mother Bai didn't put much thought on her. Otherwise, Princess Huichen's tonnage would not be enough. Will continue to climb new heights!

In order to prevent Dong Yunyun from giving birth to a daughter, Li Xuan has been striving at the forefront of consolidating the country's capital recently. After dealing with government affairs every day, he is not dealing with many concubines in the harem, or watching the dance of the thigh era!

It's been a busy month, but Li Xuan is very tired, but he doesn't know whether his work in the last month has achieved results!

Alas, wanting an heir is still quite difficult!

Well, if the courtiers don't believe that Li Xuan is running around among the women in the harem for the sake of the country, then Li Xuan doesn't care!

What am I just having fun?

Are you capable of biting me?

In the past few years, I have spent so many embarrassing, precarious and hard days, and I finally have the current situation, so I won't let me shoot a girl?

Thinking of the rush and fear in the past few years, Li Xuan felt that it was not easy for him to be the emperor.

So his current thinking is: I watch a dance and you guys are chattering, believe it or not, I will punish you nine clans!

Li Xuan, who holds this kind of thinking, doesn't care much about what people outside think, and he is even more lazy to pay attention to what other women in the harem think. If these women did not give birth to him, he would So politically it's of no value at all.

As for feelings?

Li Xuan said that his heart has long been eaten by dogs!

Besides, as an emperor, what kind of love is there? It's too extravagant, and Li Xuan can't afford it!

Although Li Xuan was addicted to the dance of the thigh era, his government affairs did not fall for a long time. The next day, he got up from his white thighs early in the morning, and then began to change clothes and eat. His business today There are too many, but I can't sleep until the sun rises three poles.

After breakfast, Li Xuan first went to the Empress Dowager Bai to greet him. The Tang Dynasty, like many feudal dynasties, highly respected filial piety. Although Li Xuan was not an emperor every day, he had to go to the Empress Dowager Bai often. Please be safe.

Empress Dowager Bai also got up early. After seeing Li Xuan, she didn't talk too much with Li Xuan. After a few simple words, she just said, "The emperor is busy with state affairs, go!" Li Xuan was dismissed.

Li Xuan didn't care either, although Empress Dowager Bai dismissed him with a few simple words, but he could feel Empress Dowager Bai's love for him as a mother.

If there is really one person in this world who will not betray him and support him unconditionally, then this person can only be the Queen Mother Bai!

It is impossible for the daughters of the harem, and even his own children in the future, to put themselves above everyone and everything like the Queen Mother. In the eyes of the Queen Mother, the entire Tang Dynasty is not as important as her precious son.

After leaving the harem and coming to the front hall, Li Xuan started to review the memorials, and then had a simple morning meeting with the ministers on duty in the imperial study. The content of the meeting was all small daily matters. Limited to the level of communication, Zhaoqing has no way to even know the news of the front line, and all he knows is the battle situation a few days ago.

After hearing that the 1st Infantry Division led by Hao Bainian had successfully merged with the 3rd Infantry Division, Li Xuan didn't say much. He also knew Hao Bainian's plan and stood on the same side.

He believed that Hao Bainian's plan to bring together the main force of the First Army to conduct a head-to-head battle with the main force of the Ming Army in the Hengzhou area, although the risk was high and still relatively large, the risk was controllable.

The important thing is that if it succeeds, it will basically be able to completely wipe out the more than 100,000 Ming troops in the southern part of Huguang, which will be of great benefit to the future northward strategy of the Tang Dynasty.

What the navy reported was the Battle of Haojing and the follow-up affairs. The navy proposed that in order to prevent the Flang machine from attacking again, it planned to speed up the construction of several coastal forts, and to prevent the large attack of the Flang machine, the navy fleet. If it is unstoppable, keep the Pearl River Estuary and the Xijiang River, and avoid letting the fleet of Flang Machines enter the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta such as Guangzhou along the Pearl River Basin.

In addition, it also talked about the construction of naval capital ships.

The Navy believes that the construction of the third-class frigate Wuzhou has entered the formal stage. Although it has not been officially launched, the technological process and technical support in all aspects can still be achieved, so it can enter the mass production stage in advance. The Navy has proposed three Waiting for the mass production plan of frigates, the first batch of six third-class frigates will be built.

Regarding the naval plan, Li Xuan said that a naval meeting will be held in the near future to discuss the shipbuilding plan.

But if nothing else, the Navy's plan to mass-produce third-class frigates should be approved.

After all, the construction of a third-class frigate, because the hull is not large, only 350 tons, and the artillery equipped on it is mainly nine-jin artillery, supplemented by seven-jin artillery.

Needless to say, the seven-jin artillery is already the most mature type of artillery in the Tang Dynasty. For the nine-jin artillery, although it has not yet been mass-produced, the test has already begun, and a sample gun has been produced to prepare for test firing.

The reason why Li Xuan woke up early today was to go to the Zhaoqing Arsenal to watch the test firing of the nine-jin artillery.

After the regular morning meeting, these ministers went back to their respective houses to handle political affairs, while Li Xuan went to Zhaoqing Arsenal with some military generals and the main person in charge of the Ministry of Industry.

Li Xuan wants to go out to inspect the palace, which is not a trivial matter, but the Zhaoqing Arsenal is built on the outskirts of Zhaoqing City, and the distance is very close, so although it is very popular, it is actually very easy to arrange.

The guards, who were responsible for the main security of the periphery, had already mobilized the entire army, and they were watching the entire Zhaoqing city strictly.

At the same time, the cavalry battalion of the Guards is the same as before, directly providing close protection to Li Xuan!

Then, the Investigation and Statistics Section of the Hanlin Academy, that is, the espionage personnel from the Hantong side, are also ambushing everywhere!

In the end, it was Li Xuan's personal security personnel, and the personal bodyguards who belonged to the Security Section of the Hanlin Academy provided personal protection for Li Xuan.

These are all normal security tasks for Li Xuan's daily patrols. It's not too much action, but it's definitely not too small. After all, Li Xuan still cares about his own life.

And he is also different from those emperors who go out to play. When he goes out, he has business affairs. Going out of the palace to play? He doesn't have that interest, um, no, it's too absolute to say.

After entering the Qinhuai River in the future, Li Xuan wanted to go to the painting boat on the Qinhuai River for a private visit, so as to soothe the injured hearts of the women in Quxiang!

For this reason, he has been deliberately recalling and writing down a lot of poems in recent years, and he is waiting to go to the Qinhuai River to show his glory and win the fame of the brothel!

After leaving the palace~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Li Xuan arrived outside the factory area of ​​Zhaoqing Arsenal in a short time. Now Zhaoqing Arsenal has all moved into the new factory area, and has already started large-scale mass production. Its output It occupies more than half of the total output of many arsenals under the Ministry of Industry of the Datang Dynasty!

Because Zhaoqing Arsenal not only enjoys many financial subsidies from the Ministry of Industry, but also brings together almost the entire Guangdong, and even the artisans who relocated from Guangxi and Guizhou before.

Because of its relatively large scale and relatively strong technical capabilities, they are also the first arsenal among the many arsenals under the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty to carry out the imitation of the 12-pound artillery of the Folang robot.

Li Xuan did not go directly to the factory area of ​​the arsenal, but went to the shooting range of the arsenal first, ready to go directly to watch the nine-pound artillery (twelve pounds) imitated by the Zhaoqing Arsenal.

After arriving at the shooting range, Li Xuan saw three cannons that were obviously much larger than the seven-pound cannons. These cannons were still cast in bronze. The pounder is not much different.

At a glance, you can see that it is a huge lethal!
