Chapter 226: I have prepared many killer weapons, which can be used to kill children and dogs at any time; I personally visit the firearms test range(3/3)
However, both of them were high-ranking officials who performed the best as eunuchs in the Song Dynasty. Invisibly, they both had a feeling of heroism towards each other.
What's more, Liang Shicheng saw the Zhao Guan family arranging manpower to guard against Tong Guan, who was always known to be loyal to the emperor, which reminded him of himself...
Liang Shicheng was frightened and thought to himself:
"The Zhao Guan family is so guarded against Tong Guan,
Then, after the great change in temperament, will the Zhao Guan family have already been by my side and placed experts who can kill me at any time?"
Liang Shicheng thought about it carefully, but he made up his mind, even if Zhao Guan's family planted secret spies around him or in Liang's house,
Then, you have to hide your clumsiness and not show that you already know it, let alone find out the secret spy.
Otherwise, the great eunuchs Li Yan and Yang Jian, who had tragic endings in life, might be a lesson to myself!
At this time, Liang Shicheng was in a complicated mood.
However, on the surface, he did not show any violent fluctuations in emotion.
Liang Shicheng saw that all ninety newly promoted captains and deputy envoys had knelt down, and he also knelt in front, expressing their loyalty to the emperor to Zhao Guan's family, and shouted in unison:
“Your Majesty, your Majesty, long live our emperor!
I am determined to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and I vow to kill those who disobey the holy will!"
Zhao Jidao: "Everyone loves Qing Pingsheng, and this matter is of the highest confidentiality.
Today, I will tell you. After you hear it, you will remember it in your heart. I will do anything for my own convenience and will not spread it to anyone else!"
"I obey the order..."
Zhao Ji mentioned the imperial pen again and wrote a secret letter to Tong Guan, the eunuch in the southeast...
…
Zhao Ji knew that he arranged for the ninety captains and deputy envoys to supervise the ship and the one hundred and eighty imperial guards to go to the southeast to monitor Tong Guan's fleet just as a precaution.
How could someone as smart as Tong Guan fail to see my intentions?
However, I am just playing "conspiracy" with you, Tong Guan!
That is to say, I will tell you Tong Guan clearly:
I have prepared many killer weapons, and I can take your child's head at any time.
However, as long as you, Tong Guan, can help me complete the voyage to find the "Three Treasures", then I will not only protect you from death, but also show you more favor.
…
Zhao Ji knew that the one who really wanted to win over should be Tong Guan.
Therefore, Zhao Ji wrote a secret letter to Tong Guan and sealed it himself.
He handed the imperial pen to the eunuch Liang Shicheng.
Liang Shicheng took the imperial pen, grinned in confusion, pretending to be naive, and asked:
"Guan family, are you asking the old slave to draft the decree on your behalf?"
Zhao Ji patted Liang Shicheng's fleshy and broad shoulders and said:
"No one knows me better than Senior Official Liang!"
Liang Shicheng said flatteringly:
"The old slave is fortunate enough to be favored by the officials and has served them for more than twenty years.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Haha... Even an old dog can understand what his master means!"
Zhao Ji looked at Liang Shicheng, who secretly liked arty things. Now in order to please me, he called himself an 'old dog'!
It seems that Liang Shicheng really worked hard to keep his current power and status.
Zhao Ji said to Liang Shicheng: "Draw up a decree for me and give it to all the officers of Tong Guan's fleet to choose an auspicious day to go to sea in early March this year.
Due to the heavy state affairs, I cannot go to the southeast in person to see Tong Aiqing and all the brave men out to sea. It is a pity!
However, I am in the capital, wishing Tong Aiqing to lead all the brave men to sea.
Smooth sailing, smooth sailing and peace,
Arrive safely and fulfill my wish!
I hope you and others can find the 'Three Treasures' for the Song Dynasty and benefit hundreds of millions of people!"
Liang Shicheng listened to Zhao Guanjia's dictation, and he couldn't help but admire: Zhao Guanjia is really smart and quick!
Liang Shicheng wrote the imperial edict quickly according to Zhao Guanjia's dictation...
Zhao Ji added: "I named Tong Guan [Fake Sea King],
If Tong Aiqing completes my mission of sailing to the sea to retrieve the "Three Treasures",
When I return, I will confer Tong Guan the title of [Sea King]!"
When Liang Shicheng heard these words from Zhao Guanjia, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
He admired the Zhao Guan family even more in his heart...
Just now, the Zhao family also conspired with the ninety young eunuchs who were supervising ship owners and deputy envoys. If Tong Guan, who is sailing on a long sea voyage, does not obey the imperial edict, is passive and sabotages his work, and does not sincerely search for the "Three Treasures", then he will be killed immediately...
At this time, the Zhao Guan family directly named the eunuch Tong Guan the "False Sea King" in the imperial edict.
Liang Shicheng naturally knew that he was acting as an agent.
During the conflict between Chu and Han, Han Xin, who was self-respecting and self-reliant, captured the State of Qi. He immediately made up an excuse and sent someone to bring a letter to the King of Han Liu Bang, reporting:
The people of Qi are hypocritical, deceitful and capricious, and they rely on being neighbors with Chu in the south, so it is difficult to deal with them. I kindly ask the King of Han to make me Han Xin the 'False King of Qi', so that I can control the Qi land and make the people of Qi land unstoppable.
Dare to rebel!
After Liu Bang heard the envoy's report, he was almost furious!
With a "pop" sound, Liu Bang slapped the case hard and was about to get angry. Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, the counselors beside him, happened to remind him, so Liu Bang immediately changed his words and said angrily:
"How can you, a real man, be a fake King of Qi? I only made Han Xin the King of Qi!"
After Liang Shicheng thought about this, he felt:
At that time, Han Xin asked for the title of "False King of Qi".
Today's great eunuch Tong Guan was named the 'False King of the Sea' by Zhao Guan's family.
I wonder if Tong Guan’s life ending will be as tragic as Han Xin’s?
Although Liang Shicheng's inner activities at this time were complicated,
However, he still finished writing the imperial edict in accordance with the holy will of the Zhao Guan family.
Zhao Ji took the imperial edict written by Liang Shicheng.
He unfolded it slowly, looked at it carefully again, and then sealed it with a jade seal...
Zhao Jidao: "You, the captains and deputy envoys of the ship's supervision, took my letter and imperial edict with you and led one hundred and eighty imperial guards.
At noon today, we should leave the city and take a boat, take the canal waterway, go to the southeast as soon as possible, board the giant ship under Tong Guan's command, and prepare for a long sea voyage!"
"Wei Chen obeys the decree..."
At noon, Zhao Ji personally sent the eunuchs and imperial guards who were responsible for supervising Tong Guan's voyage to find the Three Treasures out of the imperial city.
This made the ninety captains, deputy eunuchs and one hundred and eighty royal guards feel honored. Before leaving, they once again vowed to complete the important tasks assigned to them by Zhao Guan's family...
…
In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Ji followed the itinerary planned yesterday.
He was accompanied by the eunuch Liang Shicheng, and brought with him Prince Zhao Huan, King Yun Zhao Kai, and King Kang Zhao Gou. He was escorted by hundreds of imperial officials and officials. The imperial commander came in person and came to the firearms manufacturing workshop outside the capital.
Inside the test site...
Zhao Ji did not enter the courtyard of the firearms manufacturing workshop.
Because he knew that the development and production of firearms in the Song Dynasty was still in its infancy, many technologies were not mature enough, and safety protection was not very good.
If I, the Supreme Lord of the Nine Kings, enter that unsafe firearms manufacturing workshop,
Damn it, if the gunpowder explodes, wouldn’t that mean that I, the time traveler, would be able to do Barbie on the spot?!
Zhao Ji's worries are not unreasonable. As a time traveler, he knows:
On the sixth day of the fifth lunar month in the sixth year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty (i.e. around 9 a.m. on May 30, 1626 AD), a bizarre explosion occurred in the area near the Wang Gongchang gunpowder depot in the southwest corner of the capital city of the Ming Dynasty.
Historical records record that the ‘Apocalypse Explosion’ (also known as the Wang Gongchang Explosion) had an explosion radius of approximately 750 meters and an area of 2.23 square kilometers, causing a total of approximately 20,000 casualties...
The cause of the explosion of the "Apocalypse Big Bang" is unknown, the phenomenon is strange, and the disaster is huge. It is "unprecedented in ancient and modern times."
Zhao Ji determined in his heart that the "Apocalypse Explosion" in history must have been caused by the explosion of gunpowder in the Wanggong Factory's gunpowder magazine for some reason.
What caused the gunpowder to detonate has become a mystery in the historians...
Therefore, Zhao Ji will never take the risk of entering the firearms manufacturing workshop to inspect the work.
