Forced to start the game, summon a hundred thousand snow dragon riders

He, Kong Ming, is far worse than His Majesty's realm...

"Zhuge Shangshu!"

Li Xiu's eyes suddenly fell on Zhuge Liang.

"The minister is here."

Zhuge Liang immediately stood up respectfully.

"In accordance with my will, among the Academy of Sciences, no, it should be in the entire Tang Dynasty, no matter whether it is official or private, whoever can be the first to successfully develop the steam engine will be directly sealed as a marquis and rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels!"

Li Xiu's voice resounded in the hall.

All the people in the Academy of Sciences became fanatical in their eyes.

A reward of ten thousand taels, a ten thousand household title?

You will be rich and famous directly, and you will be famous...

The last one to be a Marquis was Hou Huo Qubing, the champion who regained the Western Regions and defeated the 40 army of Dashi, right?

Can you get such a terrifying reward just by researching a machine?How many civil servants and generals' ultimate goals have been achieved?

Chapter 152 The Emperor's Trick

"Your Majesty, is this reward too heavy?"

An Academy of Sciences official said cautiously.

"Is it heavy?"

Li Xiu shook her head lightly, "I think it's not heavy at all."

The birth of the steam engine will start the industrial revolution and rewrite the process of world development.

Before the industrial revolution, human beings were still in the farming era for a long time!

But after the industrial revolution, human beings seem to have opened up and entered the industrial age of rapid development!

changed the way of human life.

Started modern civilization.

Now, it is just a post of ten thousand households.

If it can lead to a genius who made a steam engine.

That is simply too profitable!

Datang will enter a new era!

What is a mere ten thousand households?

……

The next day.

The imperial palace, above the court.

Li Xiuduan sat on the dragon chair throne.

As soon as the morning court started, the Minister of the Ministry of War hurried forward, bowed to Li Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, the military report from the Western Regions has been reported, and the three kingdoms of Dashi, Fulin, and Tianzhu have joined forces to form an army of 250 million to counter our Great Tang's Western Expedition Army... ..."

The voice of Minister of the Ministry of War fell.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were all in an uproar.

Two hundred and five!

What a terrifying number!

How many 250 troops are there?

I am afraid that it is like locusts, overwhelming the sky.

In comparison, the Western Expedition army sent by their Great Tang was less than one-third of the enemy's.

"Your Majesty, do you want to inform General Huo Qubing who is in the Western Regions to temporarily withdraw from the Western Regions and return to Kucha City?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War looked away and said: "At the same time, order the Western Expeditionary Army to withdraw to our Tang territory and carry out local operations."

"The enemy has a huge force. Once the enemy's front line is stretched, the supply of the 250 million army will become a problem. At that time, the large number of soldiers will become a burden. Our army's chances of winning will definitely increase."

I heard the words of the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Many ministers nodded.

The disparity in strength is too great.

It's irrational to fight head-on.

If it is a local battle, if Datang is the defender, they still have a lot of chances of winning.

It is undoubtedly a good idea to temporarily order the army to withdraw to the territory of Datang.

However, Li Xiu on the dragon chair had an expressionless face.

For the long speech of the Minister of War, I just made a one-sentence summary.

"Yes, but not necessary."

not necessary?

All the ministers looked at Li Xiu with some incomprehension.

"Could it be that His Majesty already has a plan in mind?"

Minister of the Ministry of War looked at Li Xiu who was sitting on the Dragon Throne with doubts on his face.

In front of the officials, Li Xiu nodded slowly.

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were stunned.

Your Majesty, do you really have a plan?

In front of the ministers, Li Xiu slowly said: "There is only one word for my clever plan."

"That is……"

"Dry!"

"Dry?"

Baiguan suddenly looked like a deflated ball.

After a long time, a dry word is what His Majesty calls a clever plan?

Can this also be calculated?

"If you can directly defeat the enemy, why retreat?"

Li Xiu looked at all the officials in the hall with a smile on her face.

Facing Li Xiu's soul torture.

The officials were speechless.

Yes, if you can beat your opponent, why should you retreat?

The question is can it really win?

The Tang army in this western expedition accounted for [-]% to [-]% of the total force of the Tang Dynasty.

Once defeated, Datang will suffer heavy losses and directly lose the power of self-defense.

Next, I am afraid that it will be flattened by the coalition forces of Dashi.

It can be said that this is the battle of Datang's national destiny, it is too important!

You can only win, not lose!

however.

Looking at the nervous expressions of the officials.

Li Xiu smiled and shook his head.

Even if he orders now to let Huo Qubing and Bai Qi return to the territory of Datang.

These generals of Tang Dynasty may not obey his will.

Will be outside, the king's life will not be affected.

Most of them will choose to defeat the 250 million enemy troops first, and then come back to plead guilty to him.

Moreover, Li Xiu never planned to withdraw from the beginning to the end.

He never does things that are frivolous.

"Chang Fu, Minister of the Ministry of War."

At this moment, Li Xiu's eyes suddenly fell on Chang Fu and Shangshu of the Ministry of War, "How is the preparation for my Flying Tiger Camp?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister supervised the craftsmen and rushed to make them day and night. One hundred hot air balloons have been successfully delivered to the Minister of War."

Chang Fu looked respectful.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Li Xiu nodded in satisfaction, "You did a good job in this matter."

"Preach my will, promote Chang Fu to be the Minister of the Academy of Sciences, ten thousand taels of silver."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chang Fu was flattered.

Unexpectedly, a mere commoner in his area could take the position of servant by relying solely on the development of this hot air balloon.

It seems that His Majesty's emphasis on the Academy of Sciences is really unprecedented!

The Minister of the Ministry of War at the side also cupped his hands towards Li Xiu, saying: "Your Majesty, I have selected [-] elite soldiers from the forbidden army, and they have trained day and night in simulations, and they are already proficient in manipulating hot air balloons!"

"If His Majesty orders, the Flying Tiger Camp can go to battle at any time!"

"very good."

Li Xiu nodded with a smile, "Then let Flying Tiger Camp go to the Western Regions to appear as a surprise soldier."

"Let the enemy see and see, my secret army."

"Minister...obey the order!"

Minister of the Ministry of War has a confident expression on his face.

He, the organizer, knows what kind of army the Flying Tiger Camp is.

Although only a mere 800 people.

The scale is small.

But appearing as a surprise soldier will be of great use!

Especially for those enemies who have never seen Flying Tiger Camp.

Flying Tiger Camp will surely catch the enemy by surprise!

……

Western Regions.

The capital of the Stone Kingdom.

The original stone king's palace has now been changed into Huo Qubing's champion mansion.

Today's Huo Qubing has undoubtedly become the actual governor of the Western Regions.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also trusted Huo Qubing, and granted Huo Qubing the privilege of handling major affairs in the Western Regions.

At first, Ge Shujie and other nobles from the Western Regions tried to curry favor with Huo Qubing.

He wanted to get several important positions from Huo Qubing.

But soon they discovered that Huo Qubing was as hard as a stone in a latrine, and they wanted to get through the back door under Huo Qubing's hands, that was simply a dream.

Moreover, they discovered that Huo Qubing had no hobbies at all.
