Chapter 631 The Anger of the King of Chu

Lin'an City.

At noon, bursts of beautiful orchestral sounds came from the Chu Palace in Lin'an City.

The main hall of the palace was full of guests. Sitting on both sides were officials and generals of Chu State, as well as two other people who stood out. This was because they were different from the people of Dayu State.

The two were none other than Li Cha and Baishi Le. After Jinling City and his party, they came to Lin'an City, and they would probably spend a long time in Lin'an City after that.

"The two messengers, as long as you can train this king's army like the Qi king's army, this king will never treat them badly."

After three rounds of drinking, the King of Chu was so drunk that his eyes were hazy, and he felt unhappy and wanted to spit it out.

Although he formed an alliance with Xiao Ming, he was really aggrieved. If it wasn't for the delayed arrival of Qingzhou's artillery and muskets, why would he be so aggrieved.

Now that most of the southern prefectures and counties are in his hands, his ambitions have grown more and more, and he has longed for the picture of his own unification of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Richard enjoyed the delicious food in the palace, and from time to time he translated the words of the King of Chu to Brazil. This time, the King of Chu reached an agreement with the French Governor Ocaso, who was in charge of East Asian affairs.

The French obtained the exclusive trading rights of the Chu State, and established a trading port between the Great Yu State and the Annan State, while the French sold firearms to the King of Chu, and dispatched officers to train the troops of the Chu State.

And Brazil Lei was the instructor hired by the King of Chu at a high cost. Every month, the King of Chu had to pay a salary of one thousand taels of silver to Brazil Lei, and at the same time, he also paid Li Cha’s translation fee of five hundred taels per month.

Li Cha translated the words of the King of Chu, and Brazil frowned and said: "The King of Chu, who respects gold, your current firearms are too poor, with arquebuses and artillery with a range of only 500 meters, you cannot defeat King Qi. "

"The messenger is joking. Xiao Ming is also using these firearms. It's just that this king's army training is not as good as his." The king of Chu didn't realize anything yet.

Basil frowned, and he said, "King of Chu, don't you understand yet? You may have been fooled by this King of Qi. We learned from the Dutch that King Qi's army was equipped with flintlock guns. Their artillery has a range of three or four miles, and they also have field artillery, so the difference between your weapons is not a little bit."

"Suifa guns? Field guns? What are these things?" the King of Chu asked in confusion.

Brazil showed a look of contempt. To him, there was no difference between the indigenous people of this place and the Americas and Africa.

Although they have a large population, their rulers are still very ignorant. They do not understand science and have no faith. They just oppress their own people tyrannically and brutally.

But they are happy to see such a ruler, because it is good for them to benefit from it.

"This flintlock gun is a more powerful firearm than an arquebus. It not only has a long range, but also has a fast reloading speed. It is also more suitable for fighting in rainy days. Field guns are very convenient guns. The musketeers advance and are ready to enter the battlefield." Brazil Lei briefly introduced, "This time I came to your country with firearms for self-defense. This is the flintlock gun."

After saying that, Basili stood up and presented a short-barreled flintlock pistol to the king of Chu.

The king of Chu was completely sober at this time. He picked up the flintlock gun and glanced at it, and immediately understood where the difference was. Then his surprise turned into bizarre anger.

"Damn! Xiao Ming has been deceiving this king!" The King of Chu roared.

The officials and generals in the main hall were also displeased when they heard the words, and they were obviously scolding Xiao Ming.

Li Chuyuan, the son of the king of Chu, and the third prince were sitting on the left and right sides of the king of Chu, when Li Chuyuan fanned the flames and said, "Father, this Xiao Ming is simply too vicious. The last time he fought against the Dutch, his sons and ministers suffered a disastrous defeat. Xiao Ming's head is to blame, if he hadn't sold us this kind of artillery, how could he have lost!"

The last fiasco made Li Chuyuan lose face, and now he finally found an excuse. Although he scolded Xiao Ming in his words, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.

The King of Chu looked at Li Chuyuan and said slowly, "Father, the king is wrong to blame you."

"I'm not afraid of my father's mistakes, and I should be wronged. I just hope that my father will stop trusting people in the royal family. Xiao Ming is so cunning, and others are probably the same." Li Chuyuan looked at the third prince and said.

After King Zhao established the thirteen princes, they established the third prince as their king. If they were based on the honor and inferiority, they should be called the third prince as the emperor.

It's just the fact that the third prince is just a puppet, but even so, Li Chuyuan is still wary of the third prince.

In his heart, this country of Chu belonged to him, how could it be someone else's turn to meddle in it.

Li Chuyuan pointed out that Sang's words of scolding Huai were heard by the third prince, but the third prince thought he couldn't hear it. He still ate the vegetables and drank wine, as if what Li Chuyuan said had nothing to do with him.

While everyone was scolding Xiao Ming because of the firearm, a postmaster came to the door and said, "His Royal Highness, the eight hundred miles from Qingzhou is urgent."

"Qingzhou!" The King of Chu became more and more angry when he heard the words, and he said to the civil and martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty: "Hey, this king wants to see what tricks Xiao Ming is playing, and present it!"

The postmaster heard the words and forwarded the letter from Qingzhou to the king of Chu.

The King of Chu took the letter and tore it open for a look. After just one glance, he threw the letter on the ground, his face turned from red to purple.

Li Chuyuan glanced carefully at the King of Chu, he picked up the letter on the ground and glanced at it and was surprised, "Xiao Ming is going to be enthroned!"

When the voice came, the third prince, who was pretending to be nothing, froze for a while, and then he ate quietly by himself.

It's just that there was an unnoticeable smile on the corner of his mouth.

He is no longer vigilant against Xiao Ming, nor hates Xiao Ming, and no longer has suspicion and jealousy among princes. After living in Lin'an for a year, the cruel reality made him understand that he is nothing more than a dog of the King of Chu.

What kind of throne, what kind of country is nothing but a mirror for him, he only complained that he was blinded by the throne and ended up like this.

From the time he left Chang'an, he knew that Xiao Wenxuan would pass the throne to Xiao Ming, and now that Xiao Ming ascended the throne, he felt relieved and relaxed.

"Xiao Ming even ordered us to participate in the enthronement ceremony. It's a joke!" Li Chuyuan said angrily: "Father, it is better to imitate Xiao Ming's bombardment of Jinling City with his son's opinion. It is a great gift to him."

The King of Chu gasped violently. Xiao Ming's ascension to the throne meant that his ambition was in the world. This was a denial of the third prince he had established. Although Li Chuyuan's statement made him a little impulsive, he understood that he was not with Xiao Ming yet. When the face is torn.

Although Xiao Ming did not give him the best firearms, it was enough to deal with other vassal kings.
