Chapter 2027 Prepare for a Rainy Day!

A foreign royal palace.

With a crash, one carrier pigeon was flying, constantly flapping its wings, flying in all directions, and at the same time, more carrier pigeons fell into the mansion from all directions.

In the main hall, Wang Chong was sitting still, with a mountain of letters piled up in front of him. All information was continuously collected from all over the world and landed on Wang Chong's desk.

Although Wang Chong's residence is not as good as the imperial court, his foreign palace has long since become the veritable center of the empire.

However, Wang Chong did not do everything personally. Under Wang Chong's arrangement, the entire continent was divided into several parts.

Guo Ziyi is based in the northeast and is responsible for Fenglin Huoshan, collecting and monitoring all movements in An Yaluo Mountain, especially collecting evidence of An Yaluo Mountain's rebellion.

In this matter, An Yaluoshan was too careful. So far, Wang Chong has no conclusive evidence of his rebellion. Although there are some "small evidences" of his violation of regulations, such as privately manufacturing ordnance, privately transporting troops and horses..., but All this had already happened in the hands of Zhang Shougui.

At that time, the Holy Emperor turned a blind eye and did not interfere too much. After all, the situation in the Northeast was complicated and it was necessary to adapt measures to local conditions and act expediently.

At that time, Zhang Shougui was not punished, and now it is naturally impossible to pull him down based on this. At best, it is not painful or itchy.

Until he has the fatal evidence, Wang Chong can only lie dormant.

In addition, some things are now slowly being exposed, including noble things.

"It's a pity that we let him run away. This person is too cunning and will become a big problem in the future!"

Wang Chong raised his head and murmured.

At the feast of all nations, Wang Chong originally thought that he had killed Gao Shang, the most important counselor around An Yaluoshan, but in hindsight, Gao Shang seemed to have expected that he would attack him, and exchanged identities with Yan Zhuang in advance and escaped. Tribulation.

And after returning to Youzhou, Wang Chong also asked Guo Ziyi to launch several assassinations against Gao Shang. However, Gao Shang was extremely cunning. He had been staying in the Andong Protector's Mansion without leaving home, and he was heavily guarded around him. Tian Gan was always there. Really following you.

Therefore, even if Wang Chong had all kinds of strategies, he had nowhere to start.

Putting the Northeastern information aside, Wang Chong quickly checked another pile of information.

This was sent by Xue Qianjun from the Turkic prairie in the north.

The northeastern Youzhou area was assigned to Guo Ziyi, while the northern area was assigned to Xue Qianjun, who was always monitoring the movements of the cold wave in the northern area.

After opening the envelope, Wang Chong read it carefully.

According to what Xue Qianjun said in the letter, the cold wave in the north is becoming more and more fierce and dangerous, and it has become a potential catastrophic crisis for the entire land world in the future.

At first, Xue Qianjun was somewhat resistant to the task assigned to him by Wang Chong and disapproved of it in his heart. However, after seeing the overwhelming extreme cold and snowstorm, Xue Qianjun had put away all his contempt.

Compared with the wars between secular empires, which has not yet come, the unprecedented cold wave is the real threat.

Those who have not witnessed it with their own eyes cannot imagine the shock and horror.

Xue Qianjun knew very well that once that terrifying cold wave went south, the entire human world would be frozen and turned into a no-man's land. Even an army of millions would be like ants in the face of this terrifying natural threat. negligible.

Xue Qianjun once personally went out to try to break through the great cold wave and reach further north to investigate the truth and source of the great cold wave. However, all failed and dozens of elites were lost. Even Xue Qianjun himself almost died in the cold wave. among.

Now, Xue Qianjun has volunteered to stay in the north.

However, Xue Qianjun also responded to a problem. Because they stayed for too long, Xue Qianjun and others had attracted the attention and suspicion of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanate.

Worried that they were spies from the Tang Dynasty, many people were already following them, even as far as Lake Baikal.

Wang Chong wrote back a letter, allowing Xue Qianjun to make his own decision. If necessary, his name could be used. So far, Wang Chong's name has become popular throughout the continent, whether it is the Western Turks or the Western Turks. Before Tang Zhen started a war, he would never dare to offend Wang Chong easily.

All that remains is food, body poison, and the Promised Land.

At present, there is peace in Dashi. Two generals, Gao Xianzhi and An Sishun, are in charge. They are also secretly assisted by Confucianism. At the same time, they are assisted by heavy troops from Bahram and the Sassanid Dynasty, plus the armies of the surrounding countries in Dashi. Now Dashi is as stable as Mount Tai and has completely fallen under the control of Datang.

However, the biggest deterrent to them in the entire Dashi Empire is the nearly 100-meter-high banner that Wang Chong left in the Baghdad Palace, representing his identity as the king of a foreign land!

The Great Ogre's fear of that big flag was far more than the fear of the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there by the Tang Dynasty, as well as the armies of Bahram and the Sassanid Dynasty.

According to Gao Xianzhi, when today's big cannibals see that flying flag every day, they will be afraid and walk with their heads down.

Gao Xianzhi even used this phenomenon to deliberately spread the word that once Da Shi rebelled, Wang Chong would appear again. This time, the Demon King of the East would not show any mercy. He would send his army eastward and conquer the entire Baghdad and Da Shi. The food will be burned in the fire, and all the great cannibals will be put to death!

All the great cannibals kept silent about this and believed it firmly.

Nowadays, there are not many people in Dashi uprising. On the contrary, Gao Xianzhi even recruited an army of cannibals to help him suppress the uprisings in various places while maintaining order.

This army of big eaters is more powerful than the people of Tang Dynasty in attacking the big eaters!

Even in private, the big cannibals would advise each other not to go against the Tang people, so as not to attract the big devil Wang Chong.

This incident made Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, An Sishun and others laugh for a long time.

Wang Chong looked at the content of Gao Xianzhi's letter and couldn't laugh or cry.

Then came body poison and news of the promised land.

The poisoned people are now an extremely important labor force in the Promised Land, and ship after ship is constantly transporting these poisoned people to the Promised Land.

The land in Shendu is barren and plague-ridden. Every year, a large number of people in Shendu die of plague and hunger. But now, the Promised Land has long become the land of hope for people in Shendu.

Whenever the Tang Dynasty/army appeared to recruit people, countless people from Shendu came one after another, hoping to step onto those buildings and ships and leave Shendu.

And the high priest also played a big role in this.

Up to now, with wave after wave of accumulation, slowly, seven or eight million people have accumulated in the Promised Land, and everything is thriving.

This aspect was left to Xu Keyi and Yuan Shurong to handle together.

Yuan Shurong was well-educated and could understand the languages ​​of various countries, including Da Shiyu. He was a scribe himself and had a kind of patience and friendly temperament that ordinary people did not have. He was more suitable than others to handle this matter.

As for the Promised Land, Wang Chong's cousins ​​Wang Liang and Zhang Munian were in charge.

Everything goes its own way and goes hand in hand.

Wang Chong read them all and then replied to them one by one.

At this moment, no one would know that this letter written by Wang Chong and the carrier pigeons flying out of the palace are stabilizing the entire land and determining the future of the entire world.

After finishing everything, Wang Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief and hung the brush back to the pen holder.

"Zhangque!"

Wang Chong suddenly spoke.

"My subordinate is here!"

Just for a moment, the light flashed, and Zhang Que appeared in the hall.

"Bring these over and give them to Mr. Zhang Shouzhi. Tell him to rearrange the craftsman team according to the contents on the drawings and to go all out to produce the things on the drawings. In this regard, I will let all the major families in all states and prefectures do their best. Cooperate!"

As Wang Chong spoke, he reached out and pushed a stack of heavy blueprints in front of him.

Zhang Que responded, strode forward, and took the drawing from the table.

At first glance, Zhang Que didn't pay attention. After all, he had already conveyed many orders. But when his eyes glanced at the top drawing, Zhang Que's expression suddenly changed.

"This is...the production drawing of the ballista!"

Zhang Que was greatly shocked.

The ballista was an important weapon of the Tang Dynasty, playing a decisive role in the entire empire, and its role was becoming more and more important. Especially in the hands of Wang Chong, it had become synonymous with the "god of death on the battlefield", frightening all countries.

Zhang Que has witnessed these ballistae display their power on the battlefield several times, and is very familiar with their design drawings.

However, the drawings Wang Chong gave him were a little different. The ballista on it was split into various parts and numbered, giving the impression that it was similar to the modules of the Steel City built by Wang Chong.

"Your Majesty..., this is..."

Zhang Que opened his eyes wide and looked up at Wang Chong in front of him, but hesitated to speak.

"This is the modular production drawing of the crossbow vehicle. The crossbow vehicle is divided into various parts and carried out streamlined production. This can enable large-scale production, at least five to eight times the original!"

"Time is running out for the Tang Dynasty. An Yaluoshan has already rebelled. The crisis we will encounter in the future will be much greater than all previous wars. These ballistae will be our greatest asset in dealing with this crisis!"

As if he knew what Zhang Que wanted to ask, Wang Chong raised his head and said calmly.

"But the imperial court..."

Zhang Que hesitated.

The imperial court has repeatedly issued orders not to build heavy crossbows privately, and it is strictly controlled. Wang Chong's private creation of heavy crossbows may have violated the taboos of the imperial court and caused endless trouble.

"You don't have to worry about this. Let go of the restrictions and go all out to produce heavy-duty crossbows. This is a unanimous decision made by me, King Song, Zhangchou Jianqiong and others after discussion. Use extraordinary measures in extraordinary times, and it will be too late. "

Wang Chong said calmly.

If the Holy Emperor was still there, Wang Chong would not be in a hurry. But now, it is no longer the Holy Emperor who occupies the court, but the dim-witted third prince Xuan.

An Yaluo Mountain has turned upside down, and it is unknown how many soldiers and horses and Yiluohe have been recruited privately. More importantly, Wang Chong knows that the disaster in the future will not only involve Youzhou soldiers.
