The appearance of gunpowder made the second method possible.
As such, once the Minister of War's Office mass-produced gunpowder, Great Qin's conditions for attacking the Xiongnu would be ripe.
Big Brother Zheng and Wang Jian both knew that Great Qin could not afford to delay any longer!
This year, the former Xiongnu Chanyu Touman had just died at the hands of his son, Mao Dun.
After Mao Dun killed his father, he became the Xiongnu Chanyu himself.
Speaking of Mao Dun, even Brother Zheng had to admit that this guy was a character.
Mao Dun had just been born when he was made the crown prince of Xiongnu by Tou Man.
However, when he was 14 years old, Touman married a new Consort.
Touman doted on the Consort very much. Under her bewitchment, he wanted to change the Consort's youngest son to the crown prince.
However, Mao Dun did not make any mistakes. Without a special reason, it was not appropriate for Tou Man to do this directly.
Thus, he came up with a plan to kill with a borrowed knife.
At that time, to the north of Great Qin, there were three powerful barbarian factions.
In the west, close to the Western Regions was the Yue clan, while in the east was the powerful Donghu.
These two tribes were stronger than the Xiongnu. In order to survive in the cracks, the Xiongnu had no choice but to bow down to the two tribes.
Tou Man then sent Mao Dun to the Yue clan with the excuse of letting him go to the Yue clan as a hostage.
However, as soon as Mao Dun arrived at the Yue clan, Tou Man immediately raised his troops to attack the Yue clan.
Look, this was something humans did?
However, Touman did not expect that his son would be even more ruthless than him.
The Yue clan was attacked by the Xiongnu, so they were definitely unhappy. They wanted to kill a Xiongnu crown prince to liven up the army at the front line.
But no one had expected Mao Dun to be so ferocious.
He forcefully rode a single horse and fought his way out of the Yue clan's imperial capital, finally escaping back to the Xiongnu.
According to the logic of a normal person, he had tricked his son, but in the end, he had failed and even let him run back.
What would he do next?
He definitely wouldn't have tried so hard to think of a way to scam her. He wouldn't have pretended anymore. He would have laid his cards on the table and killed her.
However, Touman's brain was different from ordinary people.
He refused!
I can kill, but I won't. Sigh, I'm just playing!
Facing Mao Dun, who had escaped, Touman actually felt that his son had the courage to fight against ten thousand men and that it was a pity to kill him like this.
Not only did he not kill Mao Dun, he even gave him ten thousand soldiers.
Do you dare to believe this?
Compared to Tou Man, Mao Dun was much more clear-headed.
He knew that he and Touman were like fire and water.
In any case, one of them had to fall.
Mao Dun did not want to die, so he could only ask his father to die.
Compared to his father whose head had been crushed by a donkey's butt, Mao Dun was clearly much smarter.
After obtaining ten thousand soldiers, not only did he not show off, he even became a great inventor and invented a whistling arrow.
Then, Mao Dun used this whistling arrow to train his subordinates. He stipulated that everyone must shoot without hesitation at the target of his whistling arrow.
After sacrificing his BMW and his wife's life, the invention finally passed the experimental stage and could be put into use.
Mao Dun took action without hesitation.
Then, the poor Touman was shot into a porcupine by the soldiers he had given to Mao Dun.
When Mao Dun had just become the Xiongnu Chanyu, the external environment of the Xiongnu was actually not very good.
At that time, Donghu even sent messengers to ask Mao Dun for a BMW or even a wife in front of the ministers.
In order to accumulate strength, Mao Dun imitated Gou Jian, King of Yue.
With a wave of his hand, he gave her whatever she wanted.
This humiliation had indeed numbed the Donghu people.
After that, the Xiongnu people, who had accumulated a lot of experience, sent troops to the Donghu people, sweeping the Donghu people into the trash heap of history.
When the other neighbor of the Xiongnu, the Yue family, saw this situation, he shouted that he could not afford to offend them. He actually directly abandoned the group land, moved the entire clan, and escaped.
From this, it could be seen that the current Xiongnu could be said to be monstrous.
They had already become the overlords of Great Qin's northern plains.
If it was allowed to continue developing, it would definitely become a huge threat to the lands of the Xia!
It was urgent to use troops against the Xiongnu.
However, this kind of country war was definitely not something that could be settled in a short period of time.
"Although we have to think long and hard about using troops against the Xiongnu. "However, with the gunpowder formula provided by the Little Lord, Great Qin will definitely conquer the northern side!”
Brother Zheng nodded and sighed.
Wang Jian saw that Brother Zheng's expression was a little melancholic. He could not help but ask,"Your Majesty, are you worried about the Little Lord?”
Brother Zheng sighed and said,"I have to consider this kid's future!" He was so naughty when he was young. If he didn't correct it, what would he do in the future?”
Wang Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
When it came to Zhao Yan's skin, Old General Wang was one of the most qualified people.
After all, he was also a victim.
Three-year-old children were playful and mischievous, but it was not a big problem.
However, if Daren did not take action to control it and allowed it to develop freely, it would definitely be a huge problem.
"Your Majesty, Gongzi Yan is already three years old now. He can already study, right?" Wang Jian's eyes turned.”
Brother Zheng nodded.
"How about finding a teacher for Gongzi Yan?" Wang Jian slapped his thigh and said excitedly.”
"Old General, you're taking it for granted. With that kid's intelligence, who do you think can teach him?”
Wang Jian smiled and said," The point isn't what he can learn. The main point is that once he goes to school, he can't mess around as he pleases with a teacher controlling him. Moreover, studying was a mental and laborious process. No matter how energetic he was in the school during the day, he wouldn't have much strength at night, right?”
Brother Zheng thought about it and it did make sense.
"In the old general's opinion, who can be Zhao Yan's teacher?" He nodded and said.”
This time, Wang Jian was in a difficult position.
Great Qin's Imperial Court was filled with talents, and there were many big shots of the Hundred Schools.
The Confucians had the Four Luminaries of Shang Mountain, Chunyu Yue, and others. As for the Legalism's leader, Li Si, there was no need to introduce him.
The young masters of the royal family were usually arranged by Brother Zheng to be taught by these people.
Fu Su's teacher was the great scholar Chunyu Yue, Huhai's teacher was Li Si, and Zhao Gao had also taught him some things.
Therefore, the conduct of the young dukes was closely related to the teachers who had taught them since they were young.
Finding a teacher for Zhao Yan to change his personality was indeed feasible.
However, this candidate had become a huge problem.
It was not appropriate to assign the teachers of the other young masters to Zhao Yan.
However, other than those people, there really weren't many people who were suitable to be Zhao Yan's teacher.
After listing a few candidates, Brother Zheng was not satisfied.
Wang Jian was also a little impatient.
"Why don't we let the audience come!”
Wang Jian imitated Zhao Yan's actions, spread his hands, and said.
Hearing Chunyu Yue's name, Brother Zheng subconsciously wanted to reject him.
Brother Zheng loved and hated Chunyu Yue!
Before this, Chunyu Yue was an audience servant and had the responsibility to speak to Brother Zheng.
It could be said that this old man had used the power in his hands to the extreme.
He advocated enfeoffment. Even after the prefecture and county system had been established, he still ran around to restore the so-called Zhou ceremony and implement the enfeoffment system.
Because of this matter, his subordinates were brought by Chun Yu Yue to submit a memorial every three to five days. It was simply unbearable.
Not only that, he had also used the opportunity of being Fu Su's teacher to successfully brainwash Fu Su.
During that period of time, Fu Su was obsessed with the enfeoffment system and had advised Brother Zheng several times.
In the end, Brother Zheng felt that Fu Su was annoyed and sent him to the border to eat sand, hoping that he could calm down.
It had been nearly two years since Fu Su arrived at the border.
Chun Yu Yue was already old and had passed his seventies.
His position as an audience servant was basically empty, and he was mainly recuperating at home.
Fu Su was almost 30 years old, and indeed, he no longer needed Chunyu Yue's careful guidance.
With Chunyu Yue's knowledge, it was more than enough to teach Zhao Yan.
In terms of knowledge, Chun Yuyue was definitely a good teacher.
The only thing worth worrying about was that old fellow who unconsciously tried to brainwash his students.
Wang Jian thought for a moment and said,"Your Majesty, the Visitor Pushe was a little stubborn when he was young." However, now that Great Qin was set, he had no other plans. However, in terms of teaching students, there was no one better than him in Great Qin. Why not let him try?”
Brother Zheng thought about it and finally nodded.
After discussing this matter, Wang Jian changed the topic and said with deliberation,"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of High Spring Palace, the follow-up…"
"Old General, are you worried about the Right Prime Minister?"”
Wang Jian nodded and did not speak.
This kind of matter involved Wang Zhi and Tang Qiao. It was already considered Brother Zheng's family matter.
As a foreign official, it was indeed inappropriate for him to ask.
Brother Zheng said," Recently, Wang Wan has claimed that he is ill and has not attended court. The Black Ice Platform has confirmed that he has been reading and writing at home every day. He is indeed indifferent to this matter."”
Wang Jian sighed when he heard this.
This old fox really didn't leave any evidence for others to use!
At this moment, Brother Zheng continued,""Old General, you don't need to worry. I'll take care of Zhao Yan!”
After chatting for a while more, Wang Jian bid farewell and left.
Brother Zheng looked at the record of Zhao Yan's schedule yesterday and could not help but feel a headache.
He pinched the space between his eyebrows again, stood up, and walked out of the hall.
Soon, Brother Zheng arrived at Zhao Yan's bedroom.
After waving away the servants who were about to report to him, Brother Zheng walked in.
Before she entered the house, she heard a commotion in the courtyard.
These few days, Zhao Yan began to wander around and cause trouble again.
However, wherever there were people, they would immediately scatter when they saw him.
The incident at the High Spring Palace was still fresh in their minds. Everyone in the palace had tacitly acknowledged the existence of the little demon king, Zhao Yan.
Everyone knew that this devilish brat was Brother Zheng's favorite. Who would dare to provoke him?
He wished he could hide as far away as possible.
After wandering around for a few days, Zhao Yan himself felt bored.
In addition to the bonfire party last night, he was reprimanded by Brother Zheng. He decided to stay in his palace today and not go anywhere.
Of course, it was fine if he didn't go out, but he had to farm for rewards.
He gathered Xu Liang and the others and asked them to make a slingshot according to the slingshot rewarded by the system.
Then, he had people circle some obstacles in the courtyard with stones.
He divided the servants into two groups. He led one group while Xu Liang led the other. They started playing real-life cs in the courtyard.
When Brother Zheng came in, he saw Zhao Yan chasing Xu Liang with a top-grade slingshot.
The bullets from the slingshot were made of cork wrapped in lime powder. When they hit a person, a white spot would be immediately imprinted on the person's body.
At this moment, there were already three small white spots on Xu Liang's back.
However, because it was not a vital part that Zhao Yan had specified, he was still on the run.
Xu Liang was in unspeakable pain!
Ever since he followed this little ancestor, he had been worried sick.
Not only was he in fear every day, but he was also tortured by Zhao Yan's various strange games. It was simply unbearable.
He was already in his thirties or forties, yet he was making a fuss about playing games all day long. Xu Liang felt that he would become famous in the palace in a while.
Although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, what could Xu Liang do?
At the end of the day, he still had to play along with the Little Lord.
"Enemy generals, don't escape. Come and die!"
Zhao Yan followed behind Xu Liang and shouted. His hands were not idle either. He raised his slingshot and shot out three bullets.
At this moment, Brother Zheng walked over.
Xu Liang only dodged for a moment before a pellet hit Brother Zheng's chest.
Brother Zheng frowned slightly, lowered his head, picked up the pellet, and squeezed it.
Brother Zheng's sudden appearance almost scared Xu Liang out of his wits.
He was still running, so he immediately braked forcefully. He wanted to bow to Brother Zheng, but he staggered and knelt down.
"Your, Your Majesty…"
Xu Liang's face was flushed red from running just now, but now it was already pale.
"You guys go out first." Brother Zheng's indifferent voice sounded.
Xu Liang hurriedly stood up and called out to the rest of the maids and servants to leave the courtyard.
Brother Zheng walked to Zhao Yan's side and patted his head.
"I have nothing to do all day, and all I know is to play and fool around.”
At this point, Brother Zheng laughed.
A three-year-old naughty child was playing around. Wasn't his main task to play?
"Father, why are you here?"
Zhao Yan greeted Brother Zheng with a smile.
Brother Zheng pulled a long face and pretended to be angry."Why? Can't I come and see you for no reason?”
"You're already three years old. It's time for you to learn something." I plan to arrange a teacher for you to teach you knowledge. What do you think?”
Zhao Yan was stunned.
Go to school?
Immediately after, his little face turned bitter.
"Imperial Father, can we not go? I think I know a lot of things.”he whispered.
Brother Zheng shook his head and said,"No!"”
He knew that Zhao Yan had a very knowledgeable master, and Zhao Yan had learned many strange skills from him.
However, Brother Zheng could clearly feel it.
Zhao Yan's master's knowledge seemed to be completely different from Great Qin's Hundred Schools of Thought.
Their school of knowledge valued techniques over Dao.
Brother Zheng also admitted that those things had a huge effect.
However, Zhao Yan still had to survive in Great Qin in the future.
Putting aside the many skills he had learned from his master, even if he had learned them well, they would not be of much help to his daily life.
