Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

On the other side, Qin Ming, who had been waiting in Xiasha City for a long time, finally waited for the return of his two generals in the evening.

"Your Highness, please speed up the production of the rapid-fire musket!"

As soon as Wu Qingye got off the horse, he made a request to Qin Ming with an expectant look on his face.

He loves this stuff so much.

Today he led the soldiers of the Feng Camp on the battlefield, killing the enemy troops easily along the way.

It comes and goes like the wind, saving a lot of time in changing ammunition.

After keeping his distance, cleaning the musket and replacing the ammunition, he went back to fight!

This feeling is so close yet so distant, yet extremely difficult to deal with.

It is perfect for their guerrilla army.

"What about you?"

Qin Ming nodded slowly, then looked at Liu Chuang with a smile.

But I heard Liu Chuang excitedly say:

"Your Highness, if you ask me, the Five-Eyed Gun is the best. It doesn't matter what happens, as long as you fire it, it's guaranteed to hit the target!"

"The damage it causes is ridiculously high! Getting hit in the face with one is guaranteed to kill you! We better start mass-producing this!"

His words made Wu Qingye frown immediately.

"What nonsense are you talking about? They must have mass-produced automatic muskets first! Yours only takes half a day to fire one shot."

"Bullshit, you hit me over and over again, but sometimes you can't even kill me!"

Because of the issue of the order of mass production, Liu Chuang and Wu Qingye immediately started arguing.

Both of them wanted to arm their troops as quickly as possible.

However, when Qin Ming looked at the two of them, his face was full of helplessness.

"I say...can't we study how to mass-produce it together?"

"Mass production together?"

"Your Highness, you are not kidding, are you?"

After hearing these words, both of them showed a look of shock on their faces.

Once upon a time, when Qin Ming replenished their military supplies, he had to break a tael of silver into two halves to spend.

I didn't expect that one day I would hear such arrogant words from Qin Ming's mouth.

"At this point, do you still think Lingnan is poor?"

Qin Ming glared at them and asked back.

There is a good saying in a song.

The past is the past, and the present is the present. Don’t judge the present by the past.

"We'll make both at the same time and mass-produce them for you!"

"Don't argue about this kind of thing anymore. If others see me, they'll think I'm incompetent and lose face!"

Qin Ming patted their shoulders and even felt like a domineering boss when he spoke.

"Excellent, Your Highness."

"Very powerful, Your Highness."

Both of them left happily. After they left, Qin Ming called Cao Chuan over.

"How effective have they been in combat in the wild lately?"

Cao Chuan has a relatively good understanding of the battlefield.

After sighing, he told Qin Ming about the current situation.

"Your Highness, if we want to eliminate the imperial army stationed in the Changhe River Basin in a short period of time, it may be a bit troublesome."

"Why do you say that? Didn't they gain a huge advantage on the battlefield before?"

Qin Ming was a little surprised. Logically, they had invested all their resources into the army and workshops.

In terms of strength, there are not many troops that can match the Lingnan army.

But at this time, no serious damage was caused to the enemy.

If we delay any further, the situation may change.

Cao Chuan shook his head and explained to Qin Ming:

"Even in this kind of outdoor battle, it only happens on a small scale and cannot wipe out too many of the enemy."

"If we want to fight, we need to launch a general offensive."

When he said this, there was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

To be honest, the battle lasted until deep winter, and many soldiers were exhausted.

Correspondingly, in addition to them, many generals and soldiers of the court were also eager to return home.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we should launch a general attack on those guys. The outcome will be clear after a fight between the two sides.

If the imperial court could not defeat the Lingnan army, it would have to retreat.

Hearing what he said, Qin Ming frowned slightly.

After a moment of silence, Qin Ming suddenly said:

"The Nanman might make some moves. It's not appropriate to launch a general attack now."

"I understand, Your Highness."

Cao Chuan also knew that Chen Shimao had gone to negotiate with the Nanman.

Not surprising at this point.

Qin Ming did not fully commit his troops because he wanted to keep a backup plan to deter the Southern Barbarians.

This will make them cautious and not dare to be too presumptuous towards Chen Shimao.

"That makes sense. By the way, Your Highness, there is one more thing I think you should know."

"what happened?"

"There are Japanese pirates invading the coastal areas."

"What!?"

When Qin Ming heard the news, his eyebrows raised and a feeling of worry arose in his heart.

The Japanese pirates were a group of warriors from overseas island countries.

The resources there are extremely scarce and life is not easy.

Many capable people would choose to take risks and come to the extremely wealthy Daqian to plunder.

A few years ago, the imperial court had arranged a lot of soldiers to encircle and suppress them.

You can achieve many victories but you cannot eliminate the root cause.

After being expelled, these guys are not willing to give up. As long as they get a chance, they will come back immediately.

"Or perhaps the internal turmoil gave them an opportunity. Now there should be thousands of Japanese pirates invading."

Cao Chuan sighed and spoke slowly.

Hearing that the number was not large, Qin Ming slowly nodded.

"Let Prince Duan handle this number of people."

"That's what I thought, but look at this."

Cao Chuan scratched his head, then took out a letter from his arms.

This is a letter written by Prince Duan himself!

"Isn't he Xiang Lingnan?"

"It really is……"

Cao Chuan also felt a little puzzled.

Prince Duan was a member of the imperial court, but he extended his hand to Qin Ming.

Even when faced with a threat, he still asked Qin Ming for help.

If the imperial court knew about this, they would definitely label him a traitor.

"Your Highness, please take a look at what he wrote."

Cao Chuan did not open the letter, so he didn't know what problem the other party had encountered.

Hearing this, Qin Ming nodded, opened the letter, took a quick look at it, and smiled helplessly.

"It's not that he didn't seek help from the court, but the court was simply unable to handle this matter and left him to fend for himself."

"Then how can we manage it? This guy... is really good at thinking up tricks."

Cao Chuan curled his lips, as if he had no sympathy for the other party's situation.

It’s normal to think about it, after all, the two sides have already stood on opposite sides.

No matter what, Qin Ming should not be allowed to take action.

Although Qin Ming's strength is the strongest in the entire Daqian territory.

"Tsk, Japanese pirates..."

Qin Ming fell into deep thought. Looking at his expression, Cao Chuan immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Your Highness, what do you want to do?"

"This is the court's own problem. There's no need for us to interfere! Don't do anything unnecessary."
