Chapter 170 Cangzhou City
"The net of heaven is vast and sparse, and Qin Chuanyun, you can't escape from my King's Five Fingers Mountain."
Xiao Ming was shocked. He almost killed the old fox. He kept keeping the account in mind.
When Wang Xuan came back, he had already learned about the rebellion of the Qin family. He said: "Such a wolf-hearted person should be hung at the gate of the city to warn others. The Qin family should be killed to avoid leaving any troubles."
Pang Yukun did not object. The murder of King Qi was a crime of tyranny, and the nine clans should be punished according to the law.
Now all the Wei family, who were conspiring with the Qin family, have been arrested and killed after the autumn, while the rest of the Qin family have all been beheaded in the East City.
The four once powerful families completely disappeared in Qingzhou.
A few days ago, Xiao Ming still had fantasies about the wealthy family and was kind and ruthless.
But after the Qin family assassination, he would never have any sympathy for these wealthy families, because he knew that the previous conflicts between him and the wealthy families could not be reconciled, either you die or I die.
He said: "Escort all the participants in the burning Guanzhuang, including Qin Chuanyun and other merchants who acted as detailed works, to Cangzhou. To serve as a warning, I will hang them on the walls of Cangzhou to let those rebels understand what their outcome would be."
"Yes, Your Highness, I'll do it now." Pang Yukun smiled.
The Qin family and the Wei family were buried, and there were no more wealthy families in Qingzhou, and from then on, this place was the king of Qi.
The news brought by Wang Xuan means that the dark clouds of the war will finally come to Cangzhou, which is a destiny battle for Xiao Ming.
The barbarians can lose, but they cannot lose, because once they lose, they will lose everything.
If he wins, he can not only change his position among the kings of the Great Yu Guofan, but his fiefdom will also win a period of stable development from then on.
And this is what he needs. After all, he has a technology crystal. As a civilization maker, his task is to promote the explosion of civilization.
In modern times, it is precisely because of the explosion of bug-like technology in Europe after the fifteenth century that Western civilization defeated Eastern civilization for the first time.
Here, in this time and space, he would never allow his country to be bombarded by Western cannons again.
"Your Highness, when you go to Cangzhou, you must take care of yourself and never show off. Your Highness's safety now is related to the millions of people on the fief."
After the tentative attack of the Huyantuo tribe, the army of barbarians will inevitably usher in.
The matter in Cangzhou is of great importance, so Xiao Ming must go to Cangzhou to command in person, which is also for the sake of foolproof.
Xiao Ming held Ziyuan's little hand that was tidying up his cloak. Ziyuan just blushed slightly and did not refuse. He said, "I haven't watched "Jinghongwu" arranged by you and Luluo? How could I bear to die!"
Luluo smiled and said, "Yes, sister, just stay in the palace with peace of mind. With my care, your highness will not be wrong in daily life."
Aster nodded and sighed.
This time, Xiao Ming went to Cangzhou and only brought Luluo alone, while Ziyuan stayed in the palace. After all, he needed a confidant to stay in Qingzhou.
Rubbing Ziyuan's hands again, Xiao Ming said to Luluo at this time: "Let's go, time is tight."
Luluo nodded and followed Xiao Ming obediently except the prince's mansion.
Outside the door, the five hundred cavalry escorted Xiao Ming to Cangzhou City had been waiting for a long time. Xiao Ming looked at Ziyuan, who was a little worried, and smiled knowingly.
The two were originally slaves given to them by Concubine Zhen, and in this era, they could be said to be their own personal belongings.
What do you do with the two of you? They can't resist at all. The only question is whether you are happy or not.
Although he has transformed himself into a prince now, Xiao Ming still resists being strong in his heart, and the servants need to be cultivated.
Obviously, the two of them have become much closer to them during this period, and some small actions have come naturally.
"Set off!"
With the order, the cavalry slowly advanced towards Cangzhou City. Three days later, the group arrived at Cangzhou City.
At this time, Niu Ben, Lu Fei and Luo Xin had been stationed in Cangzhou City for more than a month, and Zhan Xingchang's repair of the city wall was completed.
When I rode into Cangzhou City, a feeling of desolation suddenly came to me. Unlike Qingzhou, Cangzhou City is only ten miles long and wide, with few people nearby. Even if I enter the city, there are only sparse people.
These people were pale and muscular, dressed in rags, and their eyes were filled with fear of the possibility of war.
Over the past month, a large number of troops entered Cangzhou City was enough to make them guess what.
In the Minfang in the city, Xiao Ming could still see the ruins left by the war three years ago. Because of the war, most of the people in Cangzhou were either killed or kidnapped.
There were very few people who came back in the later period, and there were many people in the city, so naturally no one repaired these burned houses.
In Cangzhou City, Xiao Ming's headquarters was ready. After entering the city, he went directly to the headquarters where the headquarters was located.
"Your Highness!"
As soon as he landed at the foot of the road, the cow rushed over and rushed over.
Xiao Ming said: "The old general is exempted from the gift. Thank you for your help. I have also found such an exquisite yard for me."
The headquarters is located in a courtyard, but there are many rockery flowers and plants inside, and although they are not as beautiful as the royal palace, they also have their own beauty.
"Your Highness likes it." Niu Ben smiled and said, "There are still a few good yards in the city, but Your Highness said it is closer to the city gate, so he chose this one."
Xiao Ming nodded and said the serious matter, "Has the barbarians changed a lot these days?"
Niu Ben's expression also became solemn, "In order to talk about this, the Huyantuo tribe is less than a hundred miles away from Cangzhou City, and it is estimated that it will be under Cangzhou City tomorrow."
"How are the defense prepared in the city?"
"According to the plan, the artillery was not up this time. The previous rolling wood, hot oil, stone, and catapult carts were used, but the stones were also used, and the gunpowder tanks were not ready to be used." Niu Ben said.
"Well, in this way, some gunpowder cans will be shipped up. Don't use them until they are absolutely necessary." Xiao Ming said.
In Qin Chuanyun's case, the grassland merchant clearly stated that the formula of this gunpowder came from the barbarians, and in this way, the barbarians understand gunpowder.
This is not surprising. After all, gunpowder has appeared for hundreds of years, and the Great Yu Kingdom is also using gunpowder weapons such as fire tubes against the barbarians. It is impossible for the barbarians to know what this is.
In this way, he was even more worried because the methods he used to deal with the barbarians would probably be learned by the barbarians.
It is precisely because of this that he attaches importance to artillery. Gunpowder tanks are easy to learn, but artillery cannot be made without technology.
When he arrived in Cangzhou, he naturally did not want to enjoy it. He stood up and said, "It's still early, let's go to the city wall to see. Zhan Xingchang doesn't know how the city wall was built?"
