Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

Feng Ziying had heard about Jia Baoyu's girl earlier, and knew a thing or two about Jia Tanchun, the third girl named Rose Flower. When someone encounters a storm, he will turn into a dragon, and what he does will amaze anyone.

There must be many difficulties in this.

Because of her friendship with Jia Baoyu, Feng Ziying did not resist her like many pedantic literati, but admired her for her current achievements. Now that she has been in close contact with her for the first time, Feng Ziying finally understands why the former Minister of Rites To be ashamed to commit suicide.

It's strange that the Minister of Rites can accept such boldness.

Sure enough, one side supports the other side.

The degree of civilization of the Heling Kingdom is not as good as that of the Liang Dynasty.

(Heling Kingdom: "...")

Lin Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, and didn't care much about what Feng Ziying had imagined. She asked abruptly, "How many faces did the emperor prepare for the orphan?"

Feng Ziying: "?!"

Didn't you say no?

Before Feng Ziying could organize his words, Lin Ning waved his hands: "Since you are on a mission to our country, why don't you take you for a tour alone."

Feng Ziying was led by the nose: "It's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

The king's capital of Heling Kingdom can't compare to the prosperity and magnificence of the capital, but it has its own style, and you can feel the prosperity revealed by it from the outside.Feng Ziying was riding on a horse, and he could see all kinds of people coming and going in the capital. He thought he had seen foreigners with yellow hair and blue eyes, but there were not only such foreigners in the capital, there were many others with different appearances. He met a kind-hearted Daliang man.They came and went freely in the royal capital. Obviously, the people of Heling Kingdom were used to seeing foreigners, so they didn't think it was too strange, and listening to their words, they also used Daliang dialect.

Obviously, there is a princess of Liang as the king, and the influence on them can be seen here.

It can also be seen that Princess Yongning has a stable position in the Heling Kingdom.

Thinking of the purpose of his trip, Feng Ziying couldn't help sighing inwardly.

Then Lin Ning, as the host, led Feng Ziying to the firearms camp.

Feng Ziying suppressed her surprise in her heart, restrained her mind and followed Lin Ning in.

Lin Ning smiled faintly: "Gu asked you to accompany me on purpose, you just need to calm down."

Feng Ziying solemnly agreed.

There is also a firearms battalion in Daliang, the most advanced firearms are bird guns, which were imported from foreigners, and there are only a few in total.His father is in charge of the firearms battalion, and he attaches great importance to bird guns. He gathers skilled craftsmen under his command to conduct research, and strives to be able to produce and improve himself.It's just that the emperor didn't pay much attention to the firearms battalion. His father's attitude was complacent and hesitant, and he didn't want to commit taboos. It's always good to be cautious.

Under such circumstances, Feng Ziying saw the bird gun, the multi-eyed gun, and even Lin Ning told him to see the flintlock.

Among them, the bird blunderbuss dominates today, which is a matchlock gun. When used, the pre-ignited matchlock is used to pull the trigger, and the matchstick is driven to ignite the compacted gunpowder in the gunpowder pool. With the help of the explosive force of the gunpowder gas, the lead bullets in the gun barrel are shot out to kill the enemy. People and horses.There are shortcomings such as being easily affected by wind and rain when igniting and lighting the match to keep the kindling and the ignited match for a long time.

The multi-eye gun is an improved matchlock gun, but it still has the defects of the matchlock gun.

The flintlock has introduced flint, which greatly simplifies the shooting process. This is still in the process of further exploration, but it is shocking enough for Feng Ziying. The lethality of guns.

Cold sweat dripped down his back.

Lin Ningping calmly said: "I have no intention of harassing Daliang, but my words are not convincing, so I want you to see my firearms camp, but I can ask you to go back and report. If the emperor wants to, he can send someone with insight Come and learn."

"Of course, it seems worse for me like this, and you will think that I am deterrent. I can understand that you think so, but I am more willing that you can 'learn from the barbarian to control the barbarian' instead of using it again. Marriage, or the strategy of defending the country such as beauty tricks."

Lin Ning was calm and clear-eyed.

Under her gaze, Feng Ziying suddenly felt ashamed, even though he was just here to deliver the message.

Lin Ning later gave Feng Ziying a map of the world. Although it is not very accurate, North America, South America, and Africa have all been explored. So broad.

In this way, even though Lin Ning didn't say not to be a frog in a well, Feng Ziying still understood something, which made him feel very complicated.

Lin Ning, who was the instigator, said calmly: "If Brother Huang regards Gu's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, then Gu will not be relieved if he doesn't have ten or eight faces."

Feng Ziying: "...?" Seriously?

Lin Ning nodded solemnly: "Gu is serious."

Feng Ziying was in a daze, but when he went back and told what he had seen and heard, the pot exploded immediately.

Not to mention the world map, but Lin Ning also presented several multi-eyed guns, among which the three-eyed blunderbuss can easily penetrate heavily armored targets within fifteen feet (50 meters), and can also be used as a mace after breaking into the enemy's formation. , and the multi-eye gun that combines the advantages of the bird gun and the three-eye gun, each barrel is equipped with a front sight and a rear sight, which not only extends the barrel, reduces the caliber, but also greatly improves the range, rate of fire and shooting accuracy , It can even fire [-] rounds in a row.

It can be said that it has the appearance of a modern machine gun.

This is enough to make Daliang feel awe-inspiring.

In the end, Daliang assembled a regiment and traveled across the ocean to the Heling Kingdom.

Among them were several young men who came from noble families, had good looks, and were literate.

Lin Ning: "Ugh—"

Lin Ning accepted it calmly.

After a while, the young men who were sent here for peace and marriage were called over, and they were asked about their birth names, and they were going to get a green card.

no……

It is to do an in-depth understanding. Most of these people are full of grief and humiliation. They think that they have become the outcasts of their families, and they have become the face of Israel's servants. What a big difference.

Lin Ning naturally looked down on them, but was not generally interested in the remaining few who were ambitious and tenacious, and who came here voluntarily, or managed to replace the children of the family.

She has always admired those who are smart, courageous, unwilling to be content with the status quo, open-minded, and able to endure hardships and stand hard work, regardless of gender.

It would be great if all traits are included.

Thinking of this, Lin Ning set his sights on one of them.This man looked like he had just passed the weak crown, and he was handsome and handsome. When he introduced himself, he said that his name was Zhou Ze, and he was the nephew of Zhou Yuan, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials.

Lin Ning, however, saw the incongruity, she remained calm, or she held her cheeks, and looked at Zhou Ze with great interest for a week, her eyes finally fell on his face, with a bit of inexplicable tenderness : "Can you tell me again what your name is?"

"Zhou Ze, Your Highness."

Lin Ning: "Oh——"

Zhou is not his original surname, but his first name is.

I just don't know what is the purpose of such a person sneaking in?

The rest of the people didn't know the little Jiujiu in Lin Ning's heart, but thought that she picked Zhou Ze with a glance, and there was a subtle change in her expression.

Zhou Ze: "..."

Zhou Ze seemed as stable as an old dog, but he panicked inside.

He has no such experience!

Don't say it as if Lin Ning wants to pick up yang and nourish yin, she doesn't have that willingness.She just conducted a secret observation, and wanted to confirm the purpose and identity of this group of people as soon as possible, so as to avoid uncontrollable factors.Daliang had spies in Heling State, and Lin Ning also had spies in reverse. Otherwise, she would not be able to match him with his family as soon as she heard about the official left servant.

So it didn't take long for Lin Ning to lock on Zhou Ze's true identity.

It was mentioned earlier that today's Shangtu is the third son of the Supreme Emperor, and there was a prince before him, that is, Prince Yizhong who broke things.

Prince Yizhong was originally the son of the Empress Yuan, and he was valued by the Supreme Emperor in the early years, but as a prince, he had been the crown prince for too long, and the Supreme Emperor was getting old, and felt threatened from the prince, so for the so-called way of balance , so he promoted the second prince, Prince Zhongshun, to check and balance the power of the prince. As a result, there was a "bad thing" later, and he became Prince Yizhong in name only.

And this Prince Yizhong has a son, Tuze, and his mother, Zhou.

It's just that this Zhou family is not the same as the Zhou family of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, but they are also inextricably linked.

What Lin Ning meant by this was that this Zhou Ze was the ex-prince's son Tu Ze.

This makes it even more interesting.

Lin Ning didn't think that Tu Ze changed his name and surname in this way, and came to Heling Kingdom in every possible way. Lin Ning didn't think that he was avoiding the disputes between the court and the party. For fear.

In addition, Lin Ning saw wild hope from Tu Ze's eyes, and his purpose was somewhat revealed. He was not willing to sink here, and still had the most natural desire for the throne.

And the Heling Kingdom is now a natural treasure mine, and it can become the most powerful ally.Even if Tu Ze failed to use the beauty trick, he might study in the Heling Kingdom, which would benefit him a lot, or is this his original purpose?

Lin Ning, Lin Ning welcomes this very much.

Today's Emperor Liang is more than mediocre, but not enlightened enough. Lin Ning doesn't really expect him to learn from foreigners. Even if he sends a mission, the number of spies in the mission is more than that of real skilled craftsmen. This is really true. Call Lin Ning dumbfounded.

So if you can have an ally with a common language, then you don't have to worry about not being able to bring it back in the future.

As for whether Tu Ze can do this?Lin Ning is not worried at all, even if he can't do it now, Lin Ning has the confidence to train him to do it.

Or training.

In any case, Lin Ning accepted this unexpected situation very well.

It's just that she knew something clearly, but she didn't expose it. As a result, Tu Ze, who was aliased Zhou Ze and was almost canonized as the grandson of the emperor, made sufficient psychological preparations before being summoned by her again.

Even if Princess Yongning is not beautiful, she is still a beautiful woman. Seeing her long eyebrows and her own outstanding demeanor, he will not lose anything;

Princess Yongning is his aunt according to seniority, but they are not related by blood, and he is still an impostor, so it cannot be called incest;

Princess Yongning is the concubine of the original king of Heling Kingdom, but the original king has been kicked out of power. There are many princesses in history, and there is no shortage of her. Anyway, Tu Ze has done a lot of psychology. Prepared, when he was summoned, but only talked and talked, he actually felt a little bit lost.

Ugh.

When Lin Ning had had enough of her wickedness, she exposed Tu Ze, and began to teach Tu Ze by example, but others misunderstood that Tu Ze was her pet, and made many people jealous.

Tu Ze: "Hehe."

Lin Ning didn't just look favorably on Tu Ze, she also looked at other talented and intelligent people with special regard, and by virtue of her unique personal charm, she took them into her own hands.

Even those in the face-to-face group who didn't allow her to look at them differently were not idle. Even if they were outcasts from the family, there was something unique about being selected. At least literacy is the most basic. Lin Ning based on their personal Character, arranged their own jobs for them, and did not treat them as outsiders at all.

However, there is still a salary.

In this way, the mission from Daliang stayed in the Heling Kingdom for three months.

As the face leader, Tu Ze never followed him back. He stayed in Heling Kingdom for a full year before returning to Daliang silently. After that, he still kept in touch with Heling Kingdom.

During this year, Lin Ning unified the Malay Archipelago, including more than [-] islands, large and small, to form the United Kingdom.In addition, it landed on the Indochina Peninsula. The Indochina Peninsula included several countries that were later called Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia. At one time, part of it was occupied by the feudal dynasty. It was when Lin Ning was Song Yuzhi, and Lingnan Road included it. A large part of Vietnam today.

Right now, the kingdom under Lin Ning's control has not expanded its borders, and it is more like treating the Indochina Islands as a colony.

But it's not the kind of squeezing that kills the chicken and takes the eggs, it's more like assimilation, subtly making the Indochinese Islands a "phantom limb" of the kingdom, like the Mekong River Valley, the grain output will not only supply the Indochina Islanders, but also towards Lin Ning Circulation; open mines in the Indochina Islands, introduce new crops to the Indochina Islands, be responsible for the promotion and sales of new crops, and stimulate the local economy from all aspects, etc.

Of course, because of the formation of an industrial chain, it can benefit from everywhere, and this benefit is transformed into productivity, so that Lin Ning has enough backing to promote the improvement of national strength, and the improvement of national strength has increased domestic and external demand, which will feed back to the world. A virtuous circle has formed in the industrial chains of various places.

Speaking of the progress of national strength, it must include military strength.

The previously mentioned flintlock gun, which can greatly improve the existing matchlock guns, was not actually created by Lin Ning.The rudiments of flintlock guns have appeared in France, and the reigning King Henry IV also admired them very much. However, Henry IV was assassinated with a knife a few years ago, which further led many French generals to oppose the use of flintlock guns. It is the sparks from the flint that are not enough to ignite the black powder.

Lin Ning can only shrug his shoulders, but the torrent of history will tell them that their choice is wrong, and it may not take long for the flintlock to replace the arquebus, because during the war, Lin Ning's side Equipped with it, drove off the invading Dutch army.

It will be famous.

And because of the progress of national strength, Lin Ning is not satisfied with the Malay Archipelago.

She began to further expand her territory, besides the Indochina Islands, she also explored and consolidated the Maritime Silk Road.From the Straits of Malacca to Colombo in India, and from Colombo India to Nairobi in Africa, the expansion of sea lanes will facilitate and guarantee the profits from foreign trade to the greatest extent.

At the same time, it can also occupy an active position in trade exchanges.

Lin Ning also brought "private goods" here to transport coffee to Europe.

However, it was not all smooth sailing. Coffee was first used in medicine and religion. Doctors and monks admitted that coffee had the effects of refreshing, refreshing, strengthening the stomach, strengthening the body, and stopping bleeding. Then some Catholics believed that coffee was a devil’s drink and encouraged the Pope This drink is prohibited.

Lin Ning: "..."

Lin Ning had nothing to say, she just made a little gesture to make the Pope approve this "devil's drink" after tasting the coffee, and even blessed it.

And the "little action" here is that Lin Ning labored the members of the Holy See of Islam on her side and went to Europe-the Heling Kingdom originally believed in Islam, but with the invasion of foreign migrants, and Lin Ning's disapproval of many teachings of Islam has led to the decline of Islamic beliefs.

Then Lin Ning'an facilitated reforms. After all, in the long-term development of a sect, it must understand and actively absorb the needs of the masses, just like the Catholic Church next door.

As for the development of Islam here to be influenced by the king, so as to better serve the king and serve the people's teachings, it is out of Lin Ning's control.

Anyway, so far coffee has become popular in Europe, mainly among the nobles. After all, it is expensive and only the nobles can enjoy it, which makes it once called "black gold".

It is conceivable how much profit this will bring to Lin Ning. She has not forgotten her mother's family, and asked the sea merchants who were originally in the porcelain business to specially make coffee porcelain, although it is not much different from the original porcelain.

A profiteer.

Lin profiteers also dumped, spices, tin products, by-products of eucommia gum such as rubber-soled boots, and two-wheeled vehicles using eucommia gum for wheels, etc., to girders in turn.

As the imported goods in Daliang's mouth, most of them are luxury goods exclusively for princes and nobles. Seeing that the two-wheeled vehicles entered the court directly at the beginning, they didn't even think about learning from foreigners. After such a big "gold mine", they naturally know how to imitate, even if they start from the source, they can't stop them.

This also strengthened their connection with Lin Ning to a large extent, and also led the courtiers with big beams to propose a sea ban, so as not to breed greater disasters.

Tu Zan unexpectedly moved a little bit.

Lin Ning: "..."

Why not simply close the country?

While paying attention to the movement of the beam, Lin Ning continued to open up sailing routes, from Nairobi, Africa, through the Suez Canal, across the Mediterranean Sea to Athens, and then from Athens to Venice; in addition, there are also ones to America, and another one to Calcutta in northern India , intending to assimilate India, but we must know that India is one of the original origins of cotton and has the most natural advantages in cotton planting, not to mention that Lin Ning has also introduced more advanced cotton textile technology and tools to it.

After Lin Ning mastered a certain amount of cotton, he finally got the result from Daliang.

Daliang ordered the coastal provinces not to allow sailboats to enter the sea, and those who violated the law would be imposed a heavy penalty.

It is strictly forbidden for private people to go to sea without permission, and those who get permission are still as usual, but those who go to sea by private people may not necessarily be for foreign trade, but also go fishing at sea.This ban will definitely have a great negative impact on fishermen and fisheries in coastal provinces. Moreover, smuggling and piracy will not stop because of the sea ban, but will become more rampant.

Anyway, in Lin Ning's view, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Tu Ze’s letter also said that Tu Bin’s suspicions became more and more serious. In the past year alone, Huoqiying had changed its officers twice, and almost asked the eunuch next to Tu Zhe to supervise him. In the end, Feng Ziying, who was called Guotu's dark guard, took care of it.

As for the sea ban, it actually has a lot to do with Lin Ning.

After such a long time, Daliang can only accept his fate. They can't control Lin Ning, the concubine princess, at all, or they have controlled it at all.Although Lin Ning did not wander to the border of Daliang, he traded frequently, and even Qianxiang Kingdom also embraced Lin Ning's thigh instead of relying on Daliang.

In addition, the pirates near the East China Sea were also considered by Daliang as pirates in the South China Sea who did not dare to prosper, so they could only wander around the East China Sea.

Lin Ning was overwhelmed by such bandit logic.

So much so that she was willing to pass the knife to Tu Ze and ask him to usurp the throne.

Tu Ze is also dormant, waiting for a good opportunity.

It didn't take long, within three years, when Tu Ze went hunting and was assassinated, he got entangled with many courtiers, as well as his father who abolished the crown prince, the old department of Prince Yizhong today, and the forces he cultivated, etc., crossed the border. Abandoned the prince under Tubin's knees, successfully enthroned as emperor.

At this time, six years have passed since his alias Zhou Ze came to Heling Country.

Among them, Lin Ning's help is indispensable. At this time, she is not the king of the original island country of Heling, but the queen who is in charge of the entire Nanyang Islands and the United Kingdom of the Indochina Peninsula. Even if she is silently promoting the constitutional monarchy, there is no need to worry. The biological heir is no longer the biological heir.

Lin Ning was still somewhat proud of Tu Ze's ascension to the throne. After all, Tu Ze was considered to be half of her disciple. His transformation into a dragon gave Lin Ning a sense of the growth of his own prince, so she planned to present "Flying Prince" "Shuttle" as a gift - the first industrial revolution in history, the appearance of the flying shuttle is its original origin.

Lin Ning is still thinking about the Industrial Revolution, and she is bound to leave a strong mark on the course of history.

As a result, the imperial edict from Tuze arrived before the shuttle from her side had sent it out.

In addition to the formal imperial edict, there is also an irregular imperial edict, which can be summed up as a piece of paper.

In layman's terms, it is a love letter.

Lin Ning: "???"

I treat you like my son, but you want to fuck me?
