The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Yu Ruyue nodded. "This thing is harder than normal iron, and more precious. I really don't know what to call it, so I call it black iron. Can you guys see if it can be used?"

Upon hearing the order, the skilled craftsmen quickly gathered around. When they saw the box of black iron, which was free of impurities and emitting a long, cold glow, they were so shocked that their mouths opened wide.

"Empress... can we touch her?"

"Touch it! Why not? This box of stuff is for you. Use it well. Whether you can intimidate the delegation depends on you."

The craftsmen rushed up and took the black iron out of the box.

This thing feels smooth and cold to the touch, and is very heavy. Even if you hold it in front of your eyes, you can't see any impurities, and you can even see a person's reflection in it.

It is not an exaggeration to call such a magical thing divine iron, but they soon began to worry. Although this thing is very good and has high hardness, the temperature requirements for the flame when shaping it are also very strict.

There is no way to guarantee that we can really refine this thing in the short term.

Yu Ruyue knew what these people were thinking and mentioned several ways to increase the temperature of the flame. These skilled craftsmen were all overjoyed and, led by Liuguang, came to the courtyard that had been prepared long ago.

Everyone gathered here to study with Yu Ruyue how to overcome the final details of making the artillery!

Because she had led everyone to make a musket before, she was now even more adept at studying this cannon.

If the delegation hadn't arrived so quickly, she would have planned to train the skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry...

Once things here are almost planned, and we just need to wait for these craftsmen to make things into the required shape, we can assemble them and give them a try.

Yu Ruyue did not wait here and waste time, but came to another relatively spacious yard, which was a small martial arts training ground.

Today, there are 300 male soldiers and 300 female soldiers gathered here.

These people were carefully selected from the military camp, and they are all top-notch fighters.

Yu Ruyue took out all the weapons developed by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War and distributed them to these people, asking them to train them as much as possible. She wanted to hold a grand military parade after the envoys arrived in Beijing!

Give these people a good scare.

Everyone thinks this idea is very novel. Can people like them really have a deterrent effect?

However, all these doubts disappeared when they got the weapons. They looked at the well-made crossbows, muskets, and other strange things they had never seen before in their hands, and their eyes widened!

When did their Daqian Kingdom have so many well-made weapons?

Especially that bomb, everyone had only heard of it but never seen it in person. Now that they saw it, it was even more novel and novel. Such a small thing could actually produce such a powerful force! ?

They even couldn't believe it.

Yu Ruyue stood there, looking at the surprised faces of the crowd and said loudly, "You are all elites picked from thousands of people. You are standing here and will represent the reputation of the Great Qian Nation from now on!"

"You must work hard these days and seize the time to hone your skills with the weapons in your hands."

"Master it. Once the envoy arrives, you'll be able to intimidate those who are watching with eager eyes!"

"Especially the girls! Those envoys are here just to watch the fun. You must work harder to prove that women can also kill them without leaving a single piece of armor."

"That's right! You must keep the bombs in your hands safe. If there is any unusual movement, throw the bombs far away so as not to hurt yourself."

"When using a musket, you must be very careful. You must hold it firmly and tense all your muscles. Because when it fires, there is a strong recoil and it is easy to accidentally discharge it, injuring yourself and others."

"I'm going to arrange your formations next. Are you all ready?"

Everyone puffed out their chests and answered loudly, "Your Majesty! We are ready."

Yu Ruyue nodded with satisfaction!

For the next ten days or so, she was preparing for the envoys to come to Beijing.

The news that the queen was ruling the country from behind the scenes also reached the ears of the Jiang family.

Everyone in the Jiang family now has to kneel in the ancestral hall until dark every day, and their knees are almost broken!

Madam Jiang Si's back was beaten to a bloody mess and never fully recovered. She could only kneel, enduring the pain, "Father-in-law! Are we going to kneel like this forever? His Majesty has been unconscious for such a long time and hasn't woken up yet. I don't know if he can make it. Our Jiang family should seize the time and let my sister-in-law rule the country from behind the scenes!"

Madam Jiang Wu grinned, rubbed her waist, and moved her buttocks with difficulty, echoing, "Yes! Father-in-law, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the sister-in-law in the palace and your children and grandchildren. Who is that peasant? She has no blood relationship with our Jiang family. How can we let her dominate the Jiang family's world!?"

"My sister-in-law is really something. She only cares about herself in the palace and can't help at all. She even makes you two elders kneel with her."

Old Master Jiang and Old Madam Jiang originally put their hands together, closed their eyes, and looked very pious, as if they didn't want to pay any attention to their two daughters-in-law, but they couldn't stand the two daughters-in-law getting more and more outrageous!

He immediately shouted, "Shut your stinky mouths! No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak."

"Why has our Jiang family become what it is today? Don't you two know?"

"You two have angered His Majesty to death."

"The Queen has already given our Jiang family face by not beating and killing you two."

"Don't have those crooked thoughts anymore, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Madam Jiang Si and Madam Jiang Wu lowered their heads guiltily, but still muttered in dissatisfaction, "Who knew that my sister-in-law had been in the palace for so long and still hadn't even become the Empress Dowager?"

"Aren't we both doing this for my sister-in-law and the Jiang family?"

"Besides, it's obvious that the emperor was petty and fainted because he couldn't catch his breath. What does this have to do with the two of us?"

"Maybe he's just not in good health."

Old Master Jiang was so angry at these two idiots that he almost laughed.

"Fourth Brother! Fifth Brother! If you can't even manage your own wives, there's no point in you becoming officials in the future."

Fourth and Fifth Master Jiang were also nonchalant. "Dad! I think my wife is right! His Majesty has already been tortured by those country bumpkins and has been seriously injured and bedridden repeatedly in Kyoto. I don't know how much longer he can live. We should consider the Jiang family first."

"Yes! To be honest, if the emperor really died without even breathing, are we really going to have to watch that woman of unknown origin ride on my sister's head?"

"If His Majesty is accidentally angered to death by these two idiots, that bitch of unknown origin will probably vent all her anger on our Jiang family."

"Don't forget! As soon as His Majesty fainted, this woman threw you two elders out of the palace!"
