Chapter 434: King Qin Visits the Little Princess
After hearing this, the empress and all the civil and military officials in the court felt so embarrassed and socially devastated!
You little Japanese kid, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
What do you mean, that was your title of king, you asked him not to sell weapons!
He felt that if the empress told the King of Qin not to sell weapons, then he should not sell weapons. Was he still the King of Qin?
Everyone knows what kind of person Li Jize is, and no one can expose this.
and so……
"Cough cough..."
The scene was completely silent. All the civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads and refused to look at anything inappropriate.
Eastern Japanese envoy: “???”
He was bewildered. What on earth was going on? Why were all the civil and military officials in the court of the Great Qi Dynasty so silent and incompetent?
Empress: "..."
After a long silence, she felt very embarrassed and couldn't save herself.
but……
This matter has already involved a diplomatic incident. The envoys from East Japan have come to our door and explained everything very clearly.
The people who are looting everywhere in their country now are all you Qi people. As the emperor of Qi, you cannot be irresponsible.
Thinking of this, the empress's eyes turned. In terms of strategy and means, she might not be able to compare with Li Jize.
However, when it comes to Tai Chi and passing the buck, ten Li Jizes may not be able to catch up with the empress.
Why?
In this corrupt feudal dynasty, aren’t playing Tai Chi and passing the buck the basic skills that every official should possess?
"Let me put it this way! Since you have such a request, I cannot afford to offend you, the East Japanese. I will personally issue an imperial edict, and you shall take it to Qingzhou to ask the King of Qin to convey the order!"
After the empress finished speaking, the envoy from East Japan had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, but instead hurried to express his gratitude.
In his mind, the emperor of Qi was the greatest in the world. No matter how powerful the King of Qin was, he was just a prince. How could he compare with the emperor?
and so……
He would take his imperial edict to Qingzhou and ask for trouble with Li Jize. Then he could not only legitimately ask him to stop selling firearms to pirates, but he could even legitimately ask for compensation.
It is because you sold firearms to the pirates that they were able to rob us in East Wo. This is your responsibility, Li Jize!
……
Qingzhou...
"The most formidable feature of the King of Qin's Qin Army is their firepower! Furthermore, their soldiers possess exceptional combat proficiency, not only adept at using firearms but also exceptionally skilled at running. Especially when it comes to night raids, the Qin Army are truly masters of the art!"
In the Prince of Qin's mansion, the little princess was learning patiently, while Eunuch Chen was passing on his summarized war experience to her.
After hearing this, the little princess's head started buzzing. She asked in confusion, "Eunuch Chen, since ancient times, successful night raids have been very rare. Why is it that, coincidentally, they are so successful among the Qin army?"
"Ah this..."
The little princess asked Eunuch Chen the question, but he couldn't answer it.
Since ancient times, there have been very few successful cases of night attacks, but countless failures. However, whenever there is a successful one, it will be recorded in history books.
If for no other reason, it’s because the chances of success are so slim that any success seems to be a blessing from heaven.
"Because, cod liver oil!"
Ok?
Just as the master and servant were concentrating on learning why the Qin army's night attack capability was so strong, and just when Eunuch Chen was distressed, a familiar voice sounded.
The two of them immediately turned around and were shocked. The Qin King Li Jize, wearing a dragon robe and looking heroic, had arrived.
Everyone was so frightened that they stood up and knelt down to salute. However, the little princess pouted and looked a little uncomfortable.
Obviously, she felt very uncomfortable and angry about her husband's behavior of keeping her under house arrest for such a long time and not even visiting her once.
Li Jize saw the princess pouting angrily, looking like a small teapot, and said calmly, "The human body lacks a certain nutrient... well, according to the saying of this era, eating too little meat and offal will cause people to suffer from night blindness and have difficulty seeing on the Internet. Therefore, since ancient times, it has been very difficult for ancient people to launch night attacks."
Li Jize ignored the angry little princess and instead helped Eunuch Chen to answer the question.
Eunuch Chen has been teaching the little princess about political and military matters for some time now, and he is a bit of a know-it-all.
and so……
After Li Jize answered this question, he couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Your Highness, I don't understand. Most of the Qin army's soldiers are selected from poor peasants! Could it be that the officers and soldiers of the Great Qi lack this nutritional... nutritional element? Aren't they lacking it even more?"
"Good question!"
Li Jize glanced at the little princess and found that although the girl was angry, she was actually listening attentively to "learn from him".
He continued with a smile, "I've harvested a lot of fish from the ocean, and I require these soldiers to have fish and fresh vegetables for every meal. Most importantly... East Japan produces a unique soy product called natto! Oh, we have it here too, but it's rare in the Central Plains. In more remote areas, it's called stinky fermented black beans. When you combine stinky fermented black beans with fish, you get stinky fermented black bean salted fish, which is rich in nutrients that can fully replenish the elements the soldiers need."
Oh!
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Chen and the little princess suddenly understood, especially Princess Wen Yi, who silently took note of it and decided to pass this method back to her sister in the future so that she could equip her soldiers with these things as well.
Of course!
As I said, the technology is too advanced and Li Jize doesn't mind making it public.
But whether it can be done or not, everyone has to question it!
The empress was caught between Zuo Santong and Lin Jiaxuan. She didn't even have the chance to go out to sea. Where could she find fish?
Just rely on Tianjiang to fish? To catch fish? What a joke!
As for feeding the soldiers meat and offal as supplements, that's ridiculous. Li Jize couldn't even guarantee that the people of Qingzhou would have meat to eat every meal.
The only thing he can do is to overfish the fishery and use white meat to fill the red meat, that's it! His overfishing is not enough to operate, okay?
As a last resort, they had to ask the East Japanese, a bunch of lousy fishermen, to increase their local fishing volume every day and then supply the fish to Qingzhou.
Empress?
Empress, stop daydreaming!
At this time, the little princess looked at her husband Li Jize, her eyes rolled around, and the next moment she didn't know whether she was innocent or had suddenly lost her mind.
She actually asked idiotically, "Does the Qin army have any weaknesses? If we encounter them on the battlefield, can we defeat them?"
Wow! When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
