A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

Yuan Ying has been confined to the backyard room these days to study gunpowder. One sulfur, two nitrates and three charcoals only represent the basic components of gunpowder and their proportions. But it takes a lot of effort to mix it. Less sulfur and more charcoal is vertical gunpowder; more sulfur and less charcoal is horizontal gunpowder. Generally, fireworks are sent to the sky, and vertical gunpowder must be used when it explodes below. Most of the gunpowder used on the battlefield is horizontal gunpowder.

She kept trying various formulas, failed again and again, but was not discouraged. Finally, after countless experiments, she successfully developed a powerful gunpowder.

She wrote down the recipe and now all she had to do was wait for Murong Xuanyi's cannon to be completed so she could find a place to test it. If the test was successful, she could start mass production.

After dozens of days of hard work, Murong Xuanyi led the craftsmen to build all the parts of the cannon. When Yuan Ying finished assembling it, the object in front of him was majestic and powerful, exuding a majestic power that made people feel awe. Murong Xuanyi and Yuan Ying looked at each other, their eyes full of joy and expectation.

The two of them took the artillery to an open space in the suburbs and conducted the first test firing. Yuan Ying adjusted the aim. There were three rounds of ammunition in total. The first two rounds deviated from the target due to a slight change in wind direction or a slight error. However, on the third attempt

With a loud bang, the shell shot out like lightning and hit a huge rock in the distance accurately, which instantly broke into pieces. A cloud of dust rose up in the surroundings.

Murong Xuanyi cheered excitedly: "Yan'er, Yan'er, we succeeded. Xia Country's first artillery shell was successful. Hahaha..." After that, he hugged Yuan Ying and turned around twice.

Yuan Ying also showed a satisfied smile on his face. In fact, he was just a student, trying out his ideas step by step.

Murong Xuanyi put Yuan Ying down, and the two stood side by side beside the cannon, looking at the shattered boulder in the distance, their hearts filled with an unprecedented sense of accomplishment and pride. "With this cannon, the Xia Kingdom will surely be invincible on future battlefields and protect our territory and people."

Then he looked at Yuan Ying and said sincerely: "Yan'er, you are really the lucky star of Daxia, and also my lucky star. Thank you for coming to Daxia and coming to my side."

Yuan Ying gently patted the dust off his body, his eyes firm: "Murong Xuanyi, there is no need for thanks between you and me. Although I am a woman, I also have my country in my heart. I stand on the vast land of Xia Country, with the blue sky of Xia Country above my head, so I must protect it, just like I protected China in the past, with unswerving determination.

I am willing to devote all my life's learning to do my part for the Xia Kingdom. The successful development of this cannon is not the work of me alone, but the result of the hard work of countless craftsmen day and night, and your unwavering support and trust. The road ahead is still long, and I am willing to fight side by side with you to jointly protect this land, so that the people can live and work in peace and happiness, and the Xia Kingdom can prosper. "

……

With the establishment of the United Nations, its influence quickly spread to all directions, and many neighboring countries expressed their strong desire to join its ranks. However, just as there must be differences when there is a union, the Beidi tribe in the northern desert is ready to destroy this union. Its ambition is obvious.

in the hall.

Emperor Kang Ren looked at the crowd and asked, "My dear ministers, do you have any good suggestions?"

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. For a moment, the hall was so quiet that only the occasional sound of wind outside the window could be heard.

General Dong, the great general of Weiyuan, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I request your order to prepare the army for war, so as to strengthen the army and protect the country and the people. If the Northern Di dare to attack, they will not be able to return!"

Wu Xuanhou also agreed with General Dong's proposal and said, "Your Majesty, I second the proposal. Although the Northern Di are barbaric, Daxia is a country of etiquette. How can we accept their provocation? Our army is strong and our soldiers are brave and good at fighting. We will definitely be able to defend our territory and protect our people from invasion."

Grand Tutor Zhou took a step forward slowly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Northern Di are ready to make a move, which is a great threat to our border. But now the Yin Kingdom is watching covetously, so it is not appropriate to start a war lightly. I think we can send envoys to Mobei to negotiate peace, supplemented by kindness and power. If we can turn hostility into friendship, then the border can be safe and the people can be spared from the suffering of war."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kang Ren hesitated for a moment, looked at Yuan Ying and asked, "What do you think, my dear Yuan?"

Yuan Ying thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with what Grand Tutor Zhou said. Peace talks can avoid war, but we should not take it lightly. At the same time, we need to strengthen border defense and train elite soldiers just in case.

Murong Xuanyi stood to one side, thinking, and then spoke: "Father, I think what Grand Tutor Zhou said is very true. At present, Xia Kingdom should focus on recuperating and building up its strength, and should not start a war lightly. I dare to suggest that we should consider the policy of marriage, so as to consolidate the peace of the border through the friendship of marriage."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall again. Marriage has been an expedient measure to resolve conflicts between two countries since ancient times, but it involves the royal bloodline, which is no small matter. Moreover, the tough guy Prince Jing, who has always advocated no marriage, no tribute, no vassalage, and no cession of land, actually proposed marriage today.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, this is wrong," an old minister stood up, with a bit of indignation in his tone, "Marriage is not a long-term solution, and it concerns the reputation of the royal family, how can it be easily mentioned? Moreover, the Beidi tribe is ambitious, and if we show weakness by marrying a princess, it may only encourage their arrogance, and there are no princesses of the right age."

Murong Xuanyi disagreed: "Why not? Isn't the Seventh Princess just right? The Eighth Princess is willing to exchange three cities for the Xia Kingdom, so the Seventh Princess should at least let the Northern Di Kingdom exchange two cities. The Xia Kingdom should use courtesy first and then force. This shows the demeanor of a great country."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became subtle. Emperor Kang Ren's eyes moved between Murong Xuanyi and several old ministers, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. He knew very well that although marriage was not the best policy, it could sometimes bring long-term peace at the lowest cost.

Prince Jing's words make sense, but the matter of marriage is no small matter and needs careful consideration. "Emperor Kang Ren spoke slowly, with a hint of unnoticeable solemnity in his voice, "and the Beidi tribe has always been rude and may not accept such conditions. Moreover, Hengyang is also my daughter, and I cannot bear to let her marry far away."

Murong Xuanyi continued, "Father, I understand your concerns. But I think that it is because the Seventh Princess is also your beloved daughter that we can show our sincerity. As for the Northern Di, let them understand that marriage is a win-win move, not a sign of weakness."

"If they are unwilling to use two cities as a betrothal gift to show respect and cherishment for the Princess of Daxia, then I am willing to lead the army myself and swear to wipe out the threat from the Northern Di in one fell swoop."

When this was said, all the officials were stunned. How did this become a forced sale? Since it was a marriage, how could they be willing to use the city as a betrothal gift? Since you said you wanted to fight the Northern Di, why did you let the princess go to marry? The logic behind this was really hard to justify, and all the officials were confused.

Yuan Ying looked at Murong Xuanyi deeply, and seemed to understand something in his heart.

In the end, Emperor Kang Ren adopted Murong Xuanyi's wisdom of using courtesy before force, although he was reluctant to marry his beloved daughter to a distant land. However, for the peace and stability of Daxia, he resolutely decided to sacrifice himself for the greater good, exchanging the lifelong happiness of a princess for the long-term stability of the country. This was undoubtedly a wise move after careful consideration.

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Su rushed to the outside of the Yangxin Palace, ignoring the order of house arrest, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Your Majesty! How could you send my daughter to Beidi!" Her cry was heartbreaking, but there was silence in the Yangxin Palace. At this moment, Emperor Kangren was favoring the beauty presented by Murong Xuanyi.

Seeing this, Fuquan hurried out of the palace to comfort her: "Your Majesty, please be patient and don't be impatient. We can discuss it tomorrow. The emperor has gone to bed."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Su became even more angry: "If he doesn't give me an explanation today, I will kneel here forever!" Her voice was filled with determination, but her tears fell like pearls from a broken string, soaking her clothes. The palace maids around her looked at each other, not daring to breathe, for fear of accidentally angering this distraught concubine.

Emperor Kang Ren walked out of the Yangxin Palace only after the eunuchs sent the two beauties back to their respective bedrooms. He gently took Concubine Su's hand and said softly, "My beloved, you must understand my painstaking efforts. Although I am a father, I also shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire country."

After that, he looked at Concubine Su affectionately and continued, "You have worked hard in the palace for many years. Today I will promote you to the position of Imperial Concubine. To show my gratitude and love for you."

After hearing what Emperor Kang Ren said, Concubine Su's grief and anger did not subside, but she knew that no matter how much she argued, it would be useless. She thanked him profusely, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Kang Ren looked at Su Fei and felt a little guilty. He knew how painful this decision was for Su Fei, but for the benefit of the country, he had no choice.

"I will prepare a generous dowry for Hengyang so that she can marry in glory." The emperor comforted her softly.

Su Fei nodded silently, tears streaming down her face. She knew this was an unchangeable fact and could only accept it.

The next day, after the court meeting, Princess Hengyang stopped Murong Xuanyi on the stone road outside the palace gate. "Murong Xuanyi, why are you so cold and heartless? After all, I am your sister!" Her voice was trembling and puzzled.

Murong Xuanyi raised a complicated smile, which seemed to be mocking and helpless. "How can I be cold? I don't know what the Seventh Princess means by this."

Princess Hengyang continued excitedly, "It was not until today that I learned that it was your suggestion that my father ordered me to go to Beidi to marry!" Her eyes were sparkling with tears and full of indignation.

Murong Xuanyi looked calm and said slowly: "Seventh sister is extremely intelligent, brave and resourceful. She is the best choice for marriage. This move will not only bring peace and tranquility to the two countries, but also demonstrate the dignity and morality of our Great Xia. It is indeed a good strategy for father to share his worries and solve his problems. This is such a great and righteous opportunity. In fact, out of my love for my sister, I entrusted this important task to you. I never expected that my sister would..."

Princess Hengyang interrupted him and said angrily, "Don't try to quibble! The King of Beidi is extremely licentious, incompetent, and already over sixty years old, older than my father! As your sister, how can you have the heart to ruin my life!"

Suddenly, Princess Hengyang seemed to have suddenly realized something. She glared at Murong Xuanyi and said, "Is it because of Yuan Ying? You actually sacrificed your own sister for a woman!"

Murong Xuanyi took a few steps forward, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty: "After my sister marries Beidi, she must persuade that old man to behave himself. Otherwise, I will personally lead the army to crush Beidi to serve as a warning to others."

After saying that, Murong Xuanyi turned and left with firm and powerful steps, leaving Princess Hengyang alone standing on the long palace road.
