Chapter 830 Xue Mei’s Method

Cheng Lanqing occupied Xiangcheng, which shocked the Chu government and the people.

Because this matter is unreasonable.

The general who escaped couldn't understand it, and only said that the thing was very powerful, not like a knife or a gun, not long, and it was very easy to hold in his hand.

"You need to light the fire." said the general.

Emperor Jianhong was furious.

He was already at this age and was going to encounter such a change, which made him particularly angry. He thought there was nothing in this world that he didn't know.

He sent people to gather nearby troops to retake Xiangcheng.

However, the first wave of reports of besieging Xiangcheng had been passed back to the court.

Cheng Lanqing didn't know where he got his skills, but he actually subdued the officers and soldiers of Xiangcheng. They would be willing to work hard for her, saying that she was the Lord of the World.

Five thousand men besieged Xiangcheng, and the losses were heavy. Nearly a thousand people had been killed or injured without contacting each other.

The damage was too great, so they had to retreat fifty miles to wait for news.

There are rumors in the army that the "Master of the Lord" is a god who descends to earth and learns immortal arts.

Of course, it was passed back to the court, which means that Cheng Lanqing knew magic.

Emperor: "Carry back the corpses of the soldiers to me, and I want to see what kind of magic is."

At this time, Xue Mei entered the palace.

She looked very weak, and at the same time, she was a little guilty and short of breath.

She wanted to talk to the emperor in private.

The emperor asked everyone in the imperial study to withdraw, leaving only Xue Mei, and asked her: "What's wrong with you?"

"I've had a sick time," said Xue Mei, "I suffered a little cold on the Zhongyuan Festival and had a fever."

emperor:"……"

He is not in the mood to care about who has suffered from the cold. Cheng Lanqing's magic has already made the emperor feel shocked.

He asked someone to interrogate the prince overnight, but the prince couldn't tell why. He had never seen Cheng Lanqing use such a thing.

"Her ideal is to conquer the world, and I have always been full of confidence. I don't know why she is so confident. I think she has such a magic trick, but I have never seen it." The prince cried and begged for mercy.

Xue Mei said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, she is not using any magic trick, it is a weapon called a musket."

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Have you seen it?"

Xue Mei was a little difficult to talk about for a moment.

She estimated the emperor's mood at this moment, and also measured the consequences of telling the truth, licked her lips.

The emperor was so hesitant and puzzled by her, and asked, "Have you really seen it? What is a musket?"

Xue Mei: "Your Majesty, I have not only seen it. I made that thing."

emperor:"……"

"Don't be angry. Since I have made it out, there is a way to subdue it." Xue Mei said immediately, "It's just that my original intention of making it out is just to show off.

The first time that such a large casualties were caused was in Xiangcheng, I am sorry."

Emperor: "...How do you surrender it? Your responsibility will be investigated later. It is important to catch the witch first."

Xue Mei: "I need to set up a huge altar near Xiangcheng to let Taoist priests across the country pray for rain together?"

"Praying for rain? Is this useful?"

"You also said that it is a demonic method." Xue Mei said, "Since it is a demonic method, you must use demonic method to control it.

To put it bluntly, it is actually very simple. Let me tell you in detail. If you are curious, I can give you a few more to try."

emperor:"……"

With the emperor's consent, Xue Mei asked someone to go to Zhuang Prince's Mansion to get three muskets and personally taught the emperor how to use it.

"Only when marching, three lines form a formation. After the first line is finished, go back and fill in gunpowder, the second line is topped, and the third line is prepared.

In this way, the offensive will not diminish at all, and the enemy will be caught off guard." Xue Mei said.

The emperor finally realized the power of the musket.

No matter how powerful or terrifying anything is, as long as it explains its principles clearly, it is actually that way.

So, when the emperor understood what the musket was, the suspicion in his heart disappeared, and people were no longer so angry and irritable.

He no longer fears from the bottom of his heart.

Fear will magnify the enemy.

Xue Mei told him to set up an altar and asked the Taoist priest to agree.

In fact, this matter has a lot to do with Xue Mei.

But she didn't regret it.

In this world, the appearance of anything is a double-edged sword. But society needs to make progress and cannot be abandoned because of choking.

Last time when Guangwei came to see Xue Mei, he specifically reminded Xue Mei that the crisis he expected might come early, but this matter has a lot to do with Xue Mei.

At the beginning, the crisis predicted by real people was not related to Xue Mei.

At that time, Xue Mei realized that her muskets and gunpowder would be betrayed by the little prince to Cheng Lanqing.

He wanted a solution at that time.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the last emperor also had muskets in his hand, which also caused headaches for the Qing soldiers. However, the weather was not good, and the heavy rain caused the gunpowder to get damp, and the seemingly powerful weapon was immediately extinguished.

The only one who can deal with muskets is rain.

So, when Guangwei Zhenren warned Xue Mei, Xue Mei only asked him one question: "Can you call the wind and rain?"

As long as the real person can summon the wind and rain, the musket will have no meaning in Cheng Lanqing's hands.

There is a heavy rain all over the sky. No matter how much you protect the gunpowder, it will still be damp. Once it is damp, it will be silent. Not to mention launching, it will not be lit.

Real person Guangwei also told Xue Mei that he could.

Xue Mei didn't know if he could, but she could only believe him.

Therefore, when Emperor Jianhong was angry and at a loss, Xue Mei asked him to set up a large altar and asked other Taoist priests with magic power to assist Master Guangwei.

As for true Guangwei, he had already told Xue Mei about his movements and asked Xue Mei to go to him if he had time.

When Xue Mei entered the palace to have a secret conversation with the emperor, Xiao Jingcheng had already set out to find Guangwei Zhenren.

As for Cheng Lanqing, she now has about five thousand muskets, all given to her by the little prince.

The little prince came to Chu State this time because Cheng Lanqing asked him to come, and the purpose was to send these fire guns.

However, when Cheng Lanqing was about to kill Xiaojun Wang, Xiaojun Wang told Xue Mei about this secret. However, Xiaojun Wang didn't know where the musket was now.

Xue Mei asked Jinping to look for it.

I searched the capital and went to the former fiefdom of the crown prince and the hometown of the crown prince, but I didn't find it. No one expected that Cheng Lanqing hid them in Xiangcheng.

Gunpowder is easier to obtain, and people nowadays only use it to create firecrackers.

Cheng Lanqing relied on the prince, probably just to get these things. She must have a huge warehouse in Xiangcheng to store gunpowder.

Five thousand muskets, the inexhaustible gunpowder, could indeed allow her to capture the entire Chu State.

She is the daughter of General Chen, the daughter of the general, knows tactics, and she is also very good at bewitching people's hearts.

If she said that the unity of the world was a major event and justice, it was probably many generals of Chu were willing to join her.

Xue Mei could see that people from the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains all had the idea of ​​unifying the country, but they just couldn't do it.

Therefore, Cheng Lanqing had the ability and bewitched her subordinates, saying that what they did was a righteous teacher and that she would conquer cities one by one.

What Xue Mei has to do now is to wait for real person Guangwei to call her wind and rain.

He said he could.

If he couldn't, Xue Mei would spit out a mouthful of old blood first, then sneak into Xiangcheng by himself, and use her life to assassinate Cheng Lanqing.

The musket was made by Xue Mei.

Xue Mei will destroy this fire by herself. If there is no rain, her flesh and blood will be full of heavy rain.
