Condescending and Condescending

Days go by like this.

In early July, Zhao Ningmeng's due date arrived. After a day and night of tossing, she gave birth to a baby girl.

For this reason, Mrs. Pei sent a letter to King Long, asking him to name the child.

I just don't know if it's because Takio is too busy with the war, King Taki never replied.

Mrs. Pei had no choice but to give her a nickname of Hehe first.

Because she was born in a harvest season.

It's almost September.

Before winter, under the mediation of Chen Ci, the fifth army of the fifteenth army that came to King Qin completely fell to Zhao Yan.

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Yan and King Taki, who were sitting on an army of 13, made a decisive decision and took the initiative to lead the army out of the city in order to find fighter opportunities.

Two days later, the army and the rebels fought in Luomapo.

Although they were only equipped with less than a thousand musketeers, under Chen Ci's dispatch, the musketeers opened fire first, and shot and killed the enemy who rushed to the front first. A round of volleys shoots and kills the enemy soldiers rushing to the vicinity, and then moves forward with the sword and shield, while protecting the musketeers, while beheading the fish that slipped through the net rushing to the front of the formation, and so on. In just two quarters of an hour, the [-] vanguards of the rebel army instantly disappeared in the rising smoke.

Looking at the corpses all over the place, and looking at the black muzzles aimed at them again, I originally thought that Taki's army only had 13 troops, but they had 30 soldiers and horses, which was twice as many as Taki's army, so The fate of King Taki's army will only be that the rebels who were completely crushed by them will be completely dumbfounded.

The air was quiet for a moment, only the river of blood remained.

Chen Ci made a decisive decision and asked Zhao Yan to order the cavalry to defend and musketeers to approach the rebels in unison, and other soldiers and horses to surround the rebels in a semicircle.

All of a sudden, the drums of war were loud and the hoofs of horses roared!

And for the rebels, the psychological breakdown is often at this moment!

"What kind of magical weapon is this, it can breathe fire?"

"This is God's punishment, this must be God's punishment."

"Run, run!"

……

Chaos!

The position of the rebels was immediately in chaos.

So much so that even if the leader of the rebel army saw the shortcomings of the small number of Musketeers and slow reloading, it was too late when he wanted to gather troops to get rid of those Musketeers first.

crazy!

King Taki's army is crazy!

By the time the other soldiers and horses of King Qin of the Nine Routes arrived, the fighting had subsided.

So they could only regret it, and lead the army to hunt down the small group of rebels who fled, hoping to get some leftovers.

In the end, Zhao Yan fought against 13 rebels with an army of 30. In the end, he killed 15 enemies, captured [-] rebels, and lost only [-].

Above the court, King Taki is the guarantor, and the Empress intends to praise her.

So the next day, the imperial court granted Zhao Yan the title of Marquis of Zhen Guo, rewarded him with ten thousand taels of gold, and announced it to the world.

When the news reached Jinan, the entire Taki Palace was shaken.

"Zhao Yan became a marquis after the first battle?"

Pei's face was a little ugly: "I think my great-great-grandfather followed the Emperor Taizu in the South and North for decades, and made countless military exploits. In the end, he was just a marquis."

Of course, the main reason was that the Emperor Taizu at that time was too stingy.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the empress not only made Zhao Yan the Marquis of Zhen Guo, but also allowed him to keep the firearms without having to hand them over to the court.

It is equivalent to Zhao Yan today, who not only became the Marquis of Super Grade, but also holds an army of 10,000+.

Not only that, there were also rumors that the empress was deeply in love with him.

"Do you think Zhao Yan will take revenge on us after he gains power?"

This is what Pei Shi is most worried about.

You must know that Zhao Yan's biological mother was plotted to death by her.

She never expected that in less than two months, Zhao Yan would change suddenly, from a bug that she could easily crush to death, into an existence that everyone feared.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. The empress is the majestic king of a country. I haven't seen any man before. How can I like Zhao Yan, an ungrateful villain? And you forgot, Zhao Yan was married before. .”

It was not Fang Yanqin who spoke, but Zhao Ningmeng.

She comforted: "So I think the empress just wants to use Zhao Yan to stabilize the court. When the empress frees up her hand, he will be the first to clean up. After all, as the king of a country, how can the empress tolerate the ability of the musket?" The sharp weapon that can easily determine the victory or defeat of a great war is in the hands of a foreign minister."

Fang Yanqin frowned.

He didn't expect Zhao Ningmeng to think of this.

But yes, after all, Zhao Ningmeng has always loved to read history books, so she can be regarded as a talented woman with extensive knowledge.

It's a pity that the Empress is not as sensible as her.

And what Zhao Ningmeng didn't say was that even if the empress wanted to deal with Zhao Yan, it would be at least a few years later, which meant that their life would be difficult in the past few years.

But Mrs. Pei obviously thought of this too, but she was still relieved.

Pei just felt that no matter what, they were also members of the royal family, and even if Zhao Yan wanted to take action against them, it would depend on whether the royal family would agree or not.

What's more, isn't there a King Taki beside him? She doesn't believe that King Taki is really so cruel that he can watch Zhao Yan take revenge on them.

So that for a while, Pei didn't know whether to hate King Taki for supporting Zhao Yan, the Zhongshan wolf, or to be thankful that King Taki was standing in front of them to shield them from the wind and rain.

But it turns out that Mrs. Pei still took it for granted.

As the saying goes, like a father, like a son, Zhao Yan is a Zhongshan wolf, one can imagine how much better King Taki would be.

So in King Long's mansion in the capital city, King Long had already discussed with Zhao Yan.

Because Zhao Yan is not satisfied with the position of a mere marquis at all, even now I don't know how many people envy him to be a marquis at a young age and reach the sky in one step.

It's just because someone—and it's very likely that he took most of the credit for the other nine roads, so Qin Wangjun, who has a grudge against him, spread the story of him having an affair with the empress, so that it is now widely circulated in the market. It is said that he got into the position by grabbing the corner of a woman's skirt.

Isn't this slapping Zhao Yan in the face?

Because if it weren't for him to fight to determine the world, what would happen to Daqian!

——He had forgotten that he had once been the son-in-law of the Cai family, and he also relied on the support of the Cai family to start the business, and then he had the funds to recruit craftsmen to develop guns.

So these people are really right!

So Zhao Yan couldn't wait to prove his ability and expand his power by the way.

Takio thought so too.

He wished that Zhao Yan would calm down the world sooner, so that he could become emperor sooner.

According to the timeline of the previous life, just when Qin Wang's coalition army and the rebel army were both wounded, the Northeast barbarians sent troops southward. At that time, Zhao Yan finally invented the musket, and then turned the tide, defeating the rebel army first, and then defeated the rebel army. Invading barbarians.

But now, because he gave Zhao Yan so much help, Zhao Yan invented the musket ahead of time, and thus put down the rebels ahead of time.

Obviously, those barbarians who originally planned to wait until the imperial court and the rebels were defeated, and then sent their troops south to reap the benefits of the fisherman, heard that Dagan possessed a method that could kill them in less than a quarter of an hour. After the magic weapons of the [-] enemy troops, they didn't dare to make any rash moves.

So much so that it has been two months since the Southwest Rebellion was put down, and there is still no movement from the barbarians.

Also because such a big war just broke out in Dagan, and the people urgently needed to recuperate, it was impossible for the court to support Zhao Yan's initiative to lead troops to attack the barbarians.

In this way, how can Zhao Yan build more credits to gain the support of the courtiers and win the favor of the empress.

Thinking of this, King Taki frowned.

At this moment, as if thinking of something, Zhao Yan's eyes flashed brightly: "You said, are those barbarians, like other feudal lords, thinking of stealing the musket technology from me?"

Takio: "Of course."

Zhao Yan: "That is to say, if we tell those barbarians that as long as you kidnap Pei's mother and son, you will definitely exchange your musket skills with them, or tell them directly that Pei has a musket skill, and they will Is it possible that they will take the initiative to attack us?"

At the end, Zhao Yan couldn't help laughing out loud.

In this way, he can not only wipe out the barbarians, but also take the opportunity to get rid of Pei's mother and son, killing two birds with one stone.

Takio's expression changed instantly.

Because of this, the fate of Pei's mother and son can be imagined.

But before he could express his objection, he heard Zhao Yan say again: "Father, this is our only chance."

"Only when things get serious can we send troops in a legitimate way."

Zhao Yan even thought of an excuse, for example, Princess Long's mother and son were brutally murdered by the barbarians, and the barbarians massacred the city in Shandong...

"Otherwise we don't know what year and month we will have to wait until we find a good opportunity."

Hearing these words, King Taki hesitated and swallowed back the words that had come to his lips.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan was overjoyed, and immediately continued: "And you forgot, how did Mrs. Pei ride on your head to show off?"

"And Zhao Yanqin, he has disobeyed you again and again, which shows that he doesn't regard you as his father at all."

Hearing this, Takio's expression turned ugly.

Especially after thinking of the scene of Mrs. Pei pointing at his nose and yelling at him, and the scenes of those feudal lords mocking him for being a soft-footed shrimp and a wimp in the past few decades.

Zhao Yan: "What's more, you don't lack sons, not to mention me, I heard that several of those beauties are pregnant..."

The beauties that Zhao Yan was talking about were not the ones that the Song family gave to King Taki before.

At the beginning, he sent all these women away on the surface, but in fact, he later found them all behind his back.

Anyway, he is away from home now, and Mrs. Pei can't control him if she wants to.

The most important thing is that Mrs. Pei will not be able to control him anymore.

Takio's face instantly changed from cloudy to sunny.

So he only thought about it for less than ten seconds, then gritted his teeth and agreed.

What Zhao Yan said was right, he has no shortage of sons now, let alone a rebellious son like Zhao Yanqin.

He has raised Zhao Yanqin for more than ten years, and now it's time for him to repay him.

The most important thing is that he wants to be an emperor, an emperor above tens of thousands of people, instead of being run wild by a woman riding on his head like before.

Besides, they are just used as bait, which means they still have a chance to survive.

Thinking of this, the guilt in King Taki's heart was instantly wiped away.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yan immediately said, "Then it's settled."

"come..."

Half a month later, Fang Yanqin looked at the urgent military report sent by Dongchang Mansion, saying that [-] barbarian cavalry had invaded Shandong and was about to approach Jinan Mansion, so he couldn't help shaking his head.

It can only be said that King Taki did not disappoint him!
