Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Seeing that the other party wanted to share the credit with him, Ye Shoujiang smiled and waved his hand.

"What can military merit do for me?"

At his current position, Qin Ming, who was conferred the rank of general by the previous dynasty, was again valued in this dynasty.

Ye Shoujiang didn't care what his status was.

After all, his status and qualifications have reached the pinnacle of this dynasty.

All he wants to do now is to show his worth.

This is also something Qin Ming values ​​very much.

Ye Shoujiang is a very pure person. If he is asked to fight, he will fight to prove himself and realize his value.

There is no power dispute and no intrigue. This is the best state.

Hei Fu nodded heavily, and the tall figure appeared in his mind again.

Has Your Majesty even thought of these things?

Or did he already have the plan laid out when he first started making arrangements?

He is indeed a wise emperor in governing the country. I have followed the right person.

"Thank you, General Ye. If you have any instructions in the future, please let me know."

Heifu walked a few steps to Ye Shoujiang and suddenly spoke seriously.

After this battle, he grew a lot and had more respect for Ye Shoujiang.

Cao Chuan also followed up.

Thanks to Ye Shoujiang, he also underwent a lot of changes on the battlefield this time.

"Don't thank me, thank His Majesty if you want to thank someone."

"By the way, remember to read the books His Majesty gave you."

As he spoke, Ye Shoujiang took out the Thirty-Six Strategies written by Qin Ming as usual.

"must!"

At this time, whether it was Heifu, who considered himself a genius, or Cao Chuan, who relied on his veteran status, they all obediently accepted his advice.

On the other hand, Qin Ming has completed all the defense arrangements on the east coast.

But at this time, he encountered some minor troubles.

Starting five days ago, all the secret guards were discovered and eliminated by the Wu family.

At that time, Qin Ming was completely cut off from the West Coast troops.

It stands to reason that this kind of situation where two sides are advancing and there is a lack of intelligence about the other side will definitely cause people to worry.

But Qin Ming is not an ordinary person.

They would inspect the concrete fortress when they should, and not only would they be idle, but they would sometimes even send people into nearby cities to collect some supplies and meat to reward the troops.

This behavior made Chang Baishan full of doubts.

Qin Ming was finally found on this day.

"Your Majesty, there's no news from the West Coast Army right now. Should we send some people over to investigate?"

"No hurries."

Qin Ming raised his eyebrows, put down the teacup in his hand and spoke in confusion.

"You're not in a hurry, but the troops below are already very anxious."

"We repelled the Yan army a few days ago, but we didn't expand outward. Now their army is approaching. If we don't take any action, we will become fish on the chopping board."

What Chang Baishan said makes some sense.

Ever since Qin Ming's forceful landing, the Wu family has entered the highest level of alert.

They gathered people from all directions, gathered millions of people, and were determined to show their style and drive Qin Ming out in one go.

Now, some time has passed, and the Wu family members from all over the place have gathered their soldiers and arrived.

If they were allowed to succeed, there would probably be a huge mess.

To this end, Chang Baishan wanted to make preparations in advance.

This is fundamentally different from Qin Ming's idea of ​​responding to ever-changing situations with constancy.

"You are too anxious. The weapons from the South Sea countries will not be delivered until tomorrow."

Seeing that he was starting to panic, Qin Ming had no choice but to speak up and tell him the truth.

"That's not enough."

"What if the weapons are upgraded? Will it be enough?"

Qin Ming suddenly took out a glass bottle of liquid from his arms.

"what is this?"

Chang Baishan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Qin Ming said calmly:

"Remember what I told you before about the weapon upgrade? This is new explosives."

As he spoke, Qin Ming pulled Chang Baishan to the collapsed mountain in the distance.

"Your Majesty, if it's explosives, it's just this little thing. You can just test it in the barracks."

In Changbaishan's opinion, the more gunpowder there is, the more powerful it is.

But the liquid Qin Ming took out today was only the amount of a cup of water.

Even so, he still wanted to bring me to the barren mountains.

This really made him feel a little strange.

Seeing this, Qin Ming didn't say much.

He simply picked up a cotton ball, soaked it in the nitroglycerin that he and the craftsmen had made, connected the fuse, lit it and threw it out.

boom!

The violent explosion raised clouds of smoke and dust.

Countless pieces of gravel flew everywhere.

Chang Baishan stood in front of the explosion point and felt the deepest.

Looking at the thick smoke, Chang Baishan said in disbelief:

"Your Majesty, why is this thing so cruel?"

"Nitro explosives, that's what."

This involves a lot of chemistry knowledge.

Qin Ming had taught those craftsmen earlier, so they had a basic understanding and could understand.

But Changbai Mountain has no foundation at all.

So Qin Ming didn't explain too much to him.

"If we had explosives this powerful, wouldn't we be able to deploy them on the battlefield to great effect?"

At this time, Chang Baishan spoke with some excitement.

"Of course, but there's no need to expose it now. We can use it later."

Qin Ming's chariot has not yet been deployed on the battlefield.

In fact, Qin Ming had already thought about Chang Baishan's concern about the difficulty in communicating between the east and west coasts.

But he wasn't worried about that.

He arranged for Ye Shoujiang to go there early because he had been prepared. Even if one day he did not control the battlefield, he could still let Ye Shoujiang take charge of the situation.

"As for the intelligence issue you mentioned, don't worry too much."

"We're going overseas now and setting up intelligence stations along the way. We can control them on land, but I don't believe we can completely eliminate them in the sea."

Qin Ming had already thought of a solution.

Although it takes a little more effort, they are now in the defensive stage and there are no unnecessary tasks.

It would be enough to find an opportunity to expand the intelligence network, abandon the internal investigation of the Yan Dynasty, and let the secret guards maintain communications overseas first.

"That's a solution, I see!"

"By the way, Your Majesty, how about we use your new explosives to replace these mines?"

At this time, Chang Baishan suddenly spoke and expressed his thoughts.

The trenches and minefields built by Qin Ming and his men have reached the standard of resisting the enemy army.

But it’s never wrong to do more.

Qin Ming thought for a moment and said:

"No need to change, just bury another batch."

"You are still so cruel!"

Chang Baishan gave a thumbs up and hurriedly began to arrange people to bury the explosives.

Qin Ming climbed up to the top of the city wall, looked at the wilderness in the distance, and began to think about the Wu family.

According to recent investigations, these four major families are not related by blood, but rather compete with each other.

If that's the case, they can put some effort into it.
