Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

But Zhao Kuo didn't notice Li Mu's expressions at this time, because his energy was mainly concentrated on the game with Xu Li, the old prime minister, otherwise he would definitely press Li Mu and look at this guy Are you making some crooked ideas again?

After getting the approval of Xu Li and others, Zhao Kuo showed a triumphant smile.

"Since everyone does not object, then this matter is so decided."

After a while, Zhao Kuo, who went to the meeting, returned to his bedroom, and then said to the eunuch Ling beside him, "Go and call Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng over here."

Chapter 1157 Zhao Kuo's Exhortation to the Prince

Soon, Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng appeared in front of Zhao Kuo.

But to Zhao Kuo's surprise, Queen Tian Wan also came.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Queen, why are you here?"

Tian Wan looked at Zhao Kuo, showed a smile, and said very gently: "The concubine happened to be watching these two children reviewing their homework, and heard that His Majesty had something to look for them, so I followed to see if it was these two boys. What happened outside again?"

Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng didn't mean that they had been living in the palace all the time and couldn't go out.

On the contrary, Zhao Qian, as the prince, has a few days every month to go out to various government offices to see how these government agencies are operating.

As for Zhao Zheng, he mainly stayed by Zhao Qian's side before, and came to observe the official operation of the Han Kingdom with Zhao Qian.

But recently, because Zhao Zheng was allowed by Zhao Kuo to join the Intelligence Department, Zhao Zheng went to the Intelligence Department alone to receive training on various knowledge from the Intelligence Department during this time.

To become an excellent intelligence agent is not something that can be done casually. In fact, all truly outstanding agents must undergo systematic training and master a large amount of knowledge.

These two children are the two oldest among all Zhao Kuo's children, so Empress Tian Wan is also the most concerned about these two children, and often asks them to do homework in front of them to review their homework to confirm that these two children are not Because of various things in the outside world, the learning of the chemical class is dragged down.

This is why Tian Wan will appear with these two children.

After Zhao Kuo listened to Tian Wan's words, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "The queen misunderstood, this time it wasn't that they made any mistakes, but I have a task to give them, let the two of them to execute.

It just so happens that this matter was originally meant to be told to the queen, so let's talk about it together now. "

Zhao Kuo signaled the queen and the two children to sit down, and then spoke out the decision just reached at the military meeting.

"I have already discussed with Ai Qing, and in a few days, our Han country will have a musketeer force of 2 people to go to the Xihai area to conquer.

Zhao Qian, Zhao Zheng, the two of you are going to follow this army into the Xihai area to fight as a supervising army, so that you can have a good understanding of what kind of combat methods our warriors of the Great Han Kingdom use to conquer. "

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, all three of them were surprised at the same time.

Empress Tian Wan couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, these two children are only about 10 years old, so it's too early for you to let them join the army?"

For the queen, these two children are always children in her eyes, so she is definitely worried about letting these children join the army.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "Of course I know that they are just two children, but one thing must be remembered, they are not ordinary children, but my children, the prince and prince of the Han Kingdom.

Now that they have enjoyed the glory of this position, they also have to shoulder the responsibilities that this position should have.

They must mature earlier than their peers, be more able to take on other careers, and be able to share more pressure for me and the Han Kingdom, so that they can be truly recognized by the subjects of the Han Kingdom . "

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Tian Wan couldn't think of any reason to refute for a while.

Seeing that Tian Wan had been persuaded, Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng and said, "What do you two think?

Do you really want to go to war? "

Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng took a look, and a flame ignited in the eyes of the two teenagers at the same time.

Zhao Qian almost couldn't wait to say: "I will tell you the truth, my son has already thought about joining the army and witnessing the victory of a war with his own eyes."

Zhao Zheng even showed a smile on his face, and said: "I want to report to my father, my son has also learned a lot of skills in the intelligence department during this time, and this time I can apply them well in actual combat." After a while, Erchen really can't wait."

This is the difference between men and women. For women, they hope that their children will grow up safely, but from the perspective of men, conquest is the real gene engraved in the cells of men.

So when they heard about war, this gene immediately became active, making their hearts fluctuate and excited, wishing that a war would start immediately.

After hearing the answers from Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng, Tian Wan sighed helplessly, knowing that there was basically no room for maneuver in this matter.

So Tian Wan had no choice but to tell the two children: "When the time comes to really go to the battlefield, you two must remember that you are absolutely not allowed to go to the front to fight, and such things as fighting must be handed over to the soldiers below. Just observe carefully and perform the duties that the two of you should have, understand?"

Regarding Tian Wan's exhortation, Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng naturally agreed, but just from the very excited eyes of these two teenagers, it can be seen that these two guys may not necessarily follow Tian Wan's instructions. Wan said to do it.

Zhao Kuo looked at this scene with a smile on his face, and said to the two children in front of him: "Remember, you must have a good understanding of the war when you go this time, and think carefully about why we The country of Han wanted to launch such a war.

If you can get the answer, it will be very beneficial not only for you personally, but also for our Great Han Kingdom. "

This sentence is actually quite profound, and I don't know if the two children can understand it, but at least in front of Zhao Kuo, the two teenagers chose to nod very well.

Zhao Kuo understood what he said when he saw the beginning, so he waved his hand and said to the two people: "Okay, since there is nothing else, then both of you can go down.

Go back and make good preparations, because the army's expedition and departure should be in these few days.

Don't dawdle, just bring some necessities of life. This time, it can be regarded as giving you a taste of life in the army, and letting you know how the father got here. "

Ever since, the two children said their goodbyes happily and left.

Although the children left, Queen Tian Wan stayed.

Tian Wan worriedly said to Zhao Kuo: "Although the concubine can understand the reason of His Majesty doing this, Your Majesty, do we really need to put such a heavy burden on them when they are still so young?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Tian Wan in front of him. In fact, he could understand Tian Wan's feelings. At this moment, Tian Wan was not a queen who mothered the world, but just a mother who worried about her two children.

Zhao Kuo saw that there was no one around, so he smiled slightly and hugged Tian Wan into his arms.

Tian Wan was obviously taken aback, but she still leaned against Zhao Kuo obediently, after all, there was no one around.

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath through his nose, felt the fragrance of the beautiful woman's hair, and said slowly: "Actually, the two of them are also my sons, how could I not worry about my own children?" ?

But queen, we have to consider this matter in two parts.

Now our Han Dynasty seems to be a country that is constantly expanding at a high speed, but this kind of expansion is actually very risky.

There is a good saying.

It is impossible for a person to become a fat man by eating in one bite.

I really know this sentence very well in my heart, but if I want to conquer the world, the Great Han Kingdom must speed up its pace, and it cannot stay in place all the time, let alone always think that the Great Han Kingdom is number one in the world, and other countries There will be no progress and catch-up.

So, we can't give other countries time, can't let them know how huge the gap is between them and Han, and can't give them any chance to work hard to catch up.

We must completely defeat them before they realize everything, and let these people be conquered by our Han Dynasty and become the objects of our Han Dynasty's rule.

So we have to take the risk of speeding up our pace, and we can afford it.

In order to achieve this, not only the country needs to speed up its pace, but even the rulers of our countries also need to speed up their pace even more.

Zhao Qian, as the prince of our Great Han Kingdom, cannot stop his footsteps.

It is true that he is only a young man, but the fact now is that the Han Kingdom has not allowed him to continue to be a peaceful young prince, so he has been slowly cultivated in the deep palace.

He must grow up as soon as possible, to take on the responsibilities he should bear, and to make the contribution it should have to the Great Han Kingdom. Only in this way can the hope of our subjects in the Great Han Kingdom be stabilized to the greatest extent. Let the subjects willingly follow in my and his footsteps, and create a better future together. "

After listening to Zhao Kuo's heartfelt words, Tian Wan also fell into silence.

After a long time, Tian Wan sighed faintly, and said: "Actually, sometimes my concubine also thinks that if His Majesty is not the Emperor of our Great Han Kingdom, then our family's life may not be so stressful. Maybe we can live a happier life.”

After Zhao Kuo heard Tian Wan's words, he burst into laughter immediately, and said to Tian Wan: "But if that's the case, it's impossible for us to become the royal family, and it's even more impossible for us to hold the supremacy of the Han Kingdom, and it's impossible for you either." Lead tens of millions of Chinese people towards a better future.

So, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Being a member of the royal family may not be a good thing, but in fact, as long as it is done well, it is absolutely impossible for him to become a bad thing.

After all, as long as he grew up in the royal family, then the child's origin has surpassed most people in this world.

With such a background, he still can't do things well, so it's not the problem of the royal family itself, but his own problem.

But in the final analysis, children will always have their own destiny and choices, and their lives are determined by themselves. Of course, we as parents can give them some advice, but the outcome depends on them.

Okay, don't talk about these things anymore, I think we should do some happy things first. "

Listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Tian Wan had a very serious expression on her pretty face, but she suddenly became flustered when she heard the last expression, and subconsciously wanted to break free from Zhao Kuo's embrace.

"Your Majesty, don't do this. It's still broad daylight, and the children have just left."

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly: "Are day and night really that important?

It doesn't matter, since they have already left, it is absolutely impossible for them to come back in such a short time. "

After saying this, Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and pulled the gauze curtain not far away.

Numerous white gauzes suddenly fell from the sky, covering the bed in this dormitory one after another.

Same idea as Zhao Kuo.

Prince Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng, who had returned to the palace, were both very excited.

Zhao Qian smiled at Zhao Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, I didn't expect that we would have the chance to go to the front line this time.

This is something I have long wanted to do. This time we must carefully observe how those generals command thousands of troops. In the future, we may have the opportunity to do the same. "

Zhao Zheng also changed his usual reticent personality, and said to Zhao Qian with a smile: "The prince is right, we must observe carefully, and we must capture a few prisoners to try. Are the means in the intelligence department very effective for these prisoners?"

Zhao Qian froze for a moment after hearing this, and said with some doubts: "I heard that those in the intelligence department are able to skillfully use all kinds of very harsh punishments to make the prisoners speak, is that true? "

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Zheng said very seriously: "In fact, many methods are not harsh at all, and they won't even cause the prisoners to suffer the slightest skin trauma, but they can make these prisoners mentally collapse and make us think about it. Tell me everything you need to know."

After Zhao Qian heard this sentence, he was taken aback immediately, and said, "I didn't expect such a method to exist in the intelligence department. Don't you think this method is too much?"

"Excessive?"

Zhao Zheng showed a very strange smile, and said lightly: "Actually, if you ask me to tell you, their methods may be too gentle."

Zhao Qian looked at Zhao Zheng in surprise and was speechless for a moment.

As a very humble His Royal Highness, Zhao Qian did not expect that Zhao Zheng, who grew up with him, was actually quite a cold person in his heart.

It's just that compared with the cruel Qin Shihuang in history, the current Zhao Zheng will not be cruel to his relatives, but will only double the cruelty on the enemy.

This is obviously a downright bad thing for those captives who are about to become Zhao Zheng's enemies.

Chapter 1158

As Zhao Kuo said, the departure time of the expeditionary army is also quite fast.

This is mainly because muskets are weapons and equipment that cannot be equipped by all soldiers in the Han Kingdom. The troops that can obtain musket equipment are actually relatively elite, and they are also stationed around the capital of the Han Kingdom all year round. force.

Under such a premise, it is of course a very fast thing to recruit these troops to fight, because there is no need for any assembly and waiting at all, only one order is needed to go to the camp outside the imperial capital, and then many The materials and supplies can be replenished on the road and then set off.

On the third day after making this order, 3 Musketeers set off from the imperial capital in such a mighty manner.

For ordinary people in the Han Dynasty, the expedition of 2 soldiers and horses actually did not cause any waves in their minds. After all, in the past so many years, they have long been used to 20 and 30 as For the expedition of a unit, 2 is indeed just a small number.

But for many insiders, this war is actually more meaningful than many previous wars.

First of all, this was a war waged purely by an army of musketeers from the Han Dynasty.

Although the Musketeers have been recognized as the strongest arm of the Han Dynasty after the war with the Seleucids, there are actually many conservatives in the army of the Han Kingdom who questioned that the Musketeers can be the main force, but they cannot Completely replaces all other cold weapon classes.

This time the war can undoubtedly break the doubts of the old school.

From Zhao Kuo's point of view, as the emperor, he can certainly have the authority to suppress all these doubts without mercy, but Zhao Kuo feels that there is no need for that at all.

After all, the strength of the Musketeers lies here, as long as the Musketeers use their strength to respond to all doubts, why does Zhao Kuo need to do more?

In addition to proving the Musketeers' war, there is another point that does not seem to be important, but is actually quite important, and it is likely to have a profound impact on the future of the Han Dynasty.

This point is that Prince Zhao Qian became the supervisor of this 2 Musketeers.

Since it is only a military supervisor, it means that it is impossible for Zhao Qian to interfere with the command of this army. Of course, no one would think that a prince who is a teenager and has not yet grown up has the ability to interfere with the command of the army.

What attracts everyone's attention is, after this battle, what is the prince's personal opinion of the Musketeers and the army.

At the same time, what does the army think of the prince?

This is undoubtedly very important. After all, everyone knows that the prince will be the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the future. Although the prince is still very young, the emperor Zhao Kuo's way of sending the prince to supervise the army is undoubtedly regarded by everyone as the emperor. The prince went to try to win over some army supporters.

Is the prince capable of winning the support of these troops, especially the support of Xiang Yan and Wang Jian, the two rising stars of the Han army?

There are a lot of these questions, but if you want to really get the answer, you can only slowly be known to everyone after returning from the expedition, or even ten or twenty years later.

After the [-] Musketeers went out, Zhao Kuo, as His Majesty the Emperor, naturally stayed in the Imperial City, continuing to deal with a steady stream of things and memorials.

Originally, Zhao Kuo thought that these boring official life would accompany him for a long time, but what Zhao Kuo didn't expect was that soon something surprised Zhao Kuo.

On this day, Zhao Kuo opened a memorial just sent by someone outside with an almost casual attitude, and then he was attracted by the name on the memorial.

"True belly?"

Zhao Kuo raised his eyebrows in surprise.

As the chief scientist of Zhao Guo today, Fu Zhen spends most of his time in scientific research, 365 days a year, so how could he have time to write memorials?

Could it be that some great thing happened, some great invention failed to be created?
