Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

After bringing the three people into the military camp, Wu Qingye first waved to the distance.

When the three princes turned their heads to look over.

The soldiers in those troops had already collected all their weapons and equipment, as well as some strange devices.

This is obviously to guard against them.

"Is it necessary to treat us like this? We just want to come and visit, and we won't reveal your secrets."

Prince Yan felt a little uncomfortable.

If they hadn't done those weird things, these troops would definitely still be working under them.

Although they were not considered their own troops, the imperial court would arrange personnel to rotate them every year.

At least they have some understanding of the weapons and equipment in the army.

But now that Wu Qingye is here, everything has changed.

Not only did they take away their last troops, they didn't even show them their weapons and equipment.

This sense of disparity makes everyone feel very uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, but the imperial court's weapons and equipment have already arrived, and they need to be kept secret. The technology has also been innovated by several people, so it's not convenient to disclose it."

"Why do you take away our troops?!"

Ming Wang began to question.

"Because you don't even know what a telegraph is, I find it hard to believe that people like you can lead troops well."

"After I sent the news to His Majesty, he immediately replied and supported my approach."

Wu Qingye did not hide anything and told the three of them everything he had done.

A large part of these rotating troops belonged to him.

I originally thought that this time I could settle them down in the north, and neither I nor the troops would participate in the war and could rest for a while.

But after seeing the vassal king who led them, Wu Qingye's mentality changed.

He planned to come to the north to help Qin Ming.

Because he really didn't believe that these princes could lead the troops well.

Don’t let these troops develop bad habits here, otherwise it will take a lot of effort to change them back when we return.

After all, they are his own soldiers, and he values ​​these subordinates very much.

Qin Ming naturally understood his thoughts, so he waved his hand and agreed to his request.

As for the opinions of the local princes, they are no longer important.

After they handed over their troops, they no longer had the right to speak at the negotiation table.

"Telegraph?"

"Did you really manage to make... that thing that can communicate remotely?"

"How did you do that?"

King Yan asked tentatively.

His question calmed down Prince Ming and Prince Su.

They really couldn't imagine what kind of principle could allow information to spread so far in a short period of time?

"There's no need to explain this to you, but you just need to know that you can do it now."

"So... is it much faster than a carrier pigeon?"

Prince Su now realized that he was somewhat short-sighted, and quickly asked some indirect questions.

"Flying pigeon?"

Wu Qingye laughed disdainfully.

In this day and age, the imagination of many people is still limited to some specific things.

If you explain the principles of the telegraph to them, they will probably just understand it like they are listening to a foreign language.

And there is no need to explain this to them.

"If you three had paid a little more attention to the army and stopped engaging in bribery, you would have known what a telegraph was long ago. Why would you need me to explain it to you?"

"This is His Majesty's decree. After reading it, you can go back."

As he spoke, Wu Qingye took out an imperial edict from the desk beside him.

Qin Ming has always been very careful in his work and he had anticipated the current situation.

So he arranged an imperial edict for Wu Qingye early on.

During the period when Wu Qingye was in charge of the north, if anyone came to cause trouble, it would be enough to just show them this imperial edict.

"The imperial edict...why is it coming again?"

"Is it really that fast..."

The three of them were shocked.

Wu Qingye did not lie to them, the imperial court had indeed made a huge breakthrough in communication technology!

This epoch-making breakthrough is likely to affect all aspects of war!

Regret, resentment, unwillingness and other negative emotions surged into their hearts, and at this moment the three of them felt a tightness in their chests.

But at this moment Wu Qingye was still mocking him.

"You are fortunate enough to take over part of my troops, so you should be quietly happy."

"They are the elite among the elite, they just come here to rest for a while."

"I didn't expect that everyone's thoughts were so sinister. Well, I won't be polite to you anymore. Let's go back to where we came from."

"Someone, please show the guests away."

As Wu Qingye finished speaking, several soldiers came over and made a gesture of invitation to the three people.

They looked around with embarrassed expressions.

But there is no reason to stay here anymore.

As the soldiers got closer, they had no choice but to follow them and leave quickly.

"Send a letter to His Majesty, telling him that the matter has been resolved and to reassure him."

Seeing the three people leaving, Wu Qingye turned and spoke to the communications soldier beside him.

"Yes!"

Qin Ming was sitting in the imperial study in the palace, surrounded by several subordinates who were specifically responsible for receiving telegrams.

They were connected to all directions, and anything that required Qin Ming's decision would be reported quickly.

When Qin Ming is busy, Chen Shimao and people from the Hanlin Academy will be responsible for handling the matter.

"Your Majesty, General Wu sent a letter saying that the matter has been resolved."

"That's right. Have him transport the ore from the northern border as soon as possible. We need to make a batch of weapons soon."

Qin Ming nodded slowly, holding Hei Fu's report in his hand.

Looking at the information above, he fell into deep thought...

According to the report sent by the Heifu fleet two days ago, they should have approached the outer coast of Yan Dynasty today.

Here, there is a strait area, which is the only way for many merchant ships.

As the first stop in Yan Dynasty, Heifu planned to build a military fortress here and try to use Qin Ming's new concrete to fight against the enemy.

At noon, large ships were lined up on the southern coast of Yan Dynasty.

The Yan Dynasty army, whose appearance was obviously different from that of the Daqian people, received the news early and was waiting here for the attack of Qin Ming's troops.

After a round of war, they now know a lot of Daqian's technology.

Just like the ships they are sending out now, all of them are equipped with cannons.

Six cannons on each side are enough to pose a huge threat to Daqian’s troops!

The sea breeze was blowing, and everyone was looking at the sea horizon.

One of them suddenly ran onto the deck in a panic and shouted at the generals who were waiting in formation:

"Oh no, my lords!"

"The boat! The boat is leaking!"
