Equipping firearms is both a good thing and a bad thing for the army of the Great Xia Empire, how sharp firearms are Li Liangzuo knows better than anyone else, but the shortcomings of firearms in this period are also obvious: first: the power of gunpowder is insufficient; second: poor reliability of gunpowder; Thirdly, it relies too much on logistics; This is also the reason why Li Liangzuo did not replace all the Xia army with firearms, but only formed 50,000 Praetorian Guards. \ The Firearms Research and Technology Department of the Great Xia Empire is located more than 100 miles northwest of Xingqing Mansion, and it is said that the Firearms Research and Technology Department is actually a city, and the planning of the entire city is designed by Li Liangzuo himself; The entire Firearms Research and Technology Department was divided into two gates, north and south, and according to Li Liangzuo's idea, it was formed from the entrance of the north gate to the exit of the south gate, forming a standardized operation, which could greatly improve efficiency and confidentiality, and the formula of the entire gunpowder was finally known to only a few people.
On this day, Li Liangzuo finished handling a day's government affairs, and as soon as he returned to Qiankun Palace, Xiao Fuzi hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the queen mother and the imperial concubine ask to see you." ” "Let them in" Qiankun Palace is actually Li Liangzuo's bedroom, but usually Li Liangzuo rarely lives, but lives in the dormitory of the harem concubines, only when it is very busy, Li Liangzuo will live alone in the Qiankun Palace to rest, after all, Li Liangzuo's body is not iron, Li Liangzuo's harem has so many women, if Li Liangzuo is exhausted and tired to death every night.
"See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."
After the two came in, they saluted Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo said with a smile: "It's all a family, you don't need to be like this, let's all sit down."
"Your Majesty" "Have you two eaten?"
asked Li Liangzuo to the two.
"I haven't had time to eat yet," Liang Luoyao said to Li Liangzuo.
"It's just right, I have a meal with me, and I don't think it's interesting to eat alone; Fuzi, go and ask the imperial dining room to prepare a table of wine and food, don't be so extravagant and wasteful, just have five or six dishes. ” "Yes, Servant Command."
After a while, a table of food came up, Li Liangzuo, who had been busy all day, was already hungry, and he devoured it together, and he didn't look like an emperor at all, but like a hungry and anxious person called Huazi, who had long been accustomed to Li Liangzuo's eating speed without hiding Feixue and Liang Luoyao; Li Liangzuo asked the two of them while eating, "You two came to me together today, is there something wrong?"
Wuzang Feixue said to Li Liangzuo: "The concubine came to Your Majesty today mainly for the marriage of Chang'er and Wu'er. ” "Marriage" Li Liangzuo asked with some incomprehension; "What kind of marriage, don't the two of them have wives and children?"
Wuzang Feixue said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although the two children have taken a lot of concubines, but the main room has been vacant, this is not a matter of concubines, set up a princess for the two emperors." ” "Establish a princess."
Li Liangzuo put down his chopsticks and said; "It's not a trivial matter, anyway, I have to find a door for the two of them, right?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's hard to find the right one," said Wuzang Feixue.
Li Liangzuo thought for a while and said: "That's right, I am afraid that only the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty and the royal family of the Liao Kingdom can be the right person who can be the right person with my family." ” "Isn't that right," Liang Luoyao said; "One of their two brothers married the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and the other married the princess of Liao."
"You want to be beautiful."
As soon as Liang Luoyao's words fell, Li Liangzuo said: "You should marry the princess, you are a family, you can marry if you want." ” "It's the concubine who talks too much."
"You say, how much does it cost me to marry a princess for these two bastard boys?"
"Is this what you should say as a father?"
said Buzang Feixue with some dissatisfaction.
"I'm not kidding," Li Langzuo laughed; "I'll deal with this as soon as I can."
Then Li Liangzuo said with a lewd smile on his face: "Today, do you two stay here or go back?"
The next day, the Imperial Study.
Li Liangzuo sent people to find Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, Zhou Wentai, the envoy of the Right Executive Yuan, and Gao Wei, the deputy envoy for military affairs; Li Liangzuo said to the three of them: "I came to the three of you today for my family affairs, yesterday the queen and the imperial concubine found me and said that they would set up a princess for Chang'er and Wu'er, you all talk about how to solve this matter."
"Your Majesty, the prince's wedding is not only a family affair of His Majesty, but also a state affair.
In this way, the country is stabilized.
Zhou Wentai said first.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Your Majesty can consider a political marriage."
Gao Wei said to Li Liangzuo.
Gao Wei's thoughts can be said to coincide with Li Liangzuo, but Li Liangzuo did not indicate it, but continued to ask Li Xiaoren: "Brother Huang, you are the uncle of these two children, and the patriarch of my Li clan, you said that this princess should choose domestic or foreign." ” Wechen thinks that in fact, whether it is at home or abroad, there are actually benefits; But if you look at the long-term development of the Great Xia Empire, it should be more advantageous to choose foreign princesses," Li Xiaoren said.
"In that case, let's marry two princesses to these two little cubs," Li Liangzuo smiled at the three; "Since you are marrying a princess, then you must also be differentiated, you come with me."
Li Liangzuo brought the three of them to a map of the world and said: "Now in the Central Plains, there are also my Great Xia Empire, the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State and the Dali Kingdom in the south; This Liao country is already surrounded by my Great Xia Empire, sooner or later it will be me, this Liao princess doesn't need to think about it for the time being, and if you marry the princess of Liao, this will be a bad generation, so now the only two choices are the princess of the Great Song Dynasty and the princess of Dali."
Li Liangzuo said this, Zhou Wentai understood, in fact, Li Liangzuo had already had a plan in his heart for the marriage of Li Bingchang and Li Wu, and asked the three of them to discuss, in fact, it was to give the three of them a face, and it was obvious that the face given to Zhou Wentai was not taken well, so he fell to the ground with a chirp; And there is another reason why Li Liangzuo doesn't want his two sons to marry the daughters of the big families in China, that is, he is afraid that the power of these big families is too huge, which is the last thing Li Liangzuo wants to see.
In addition, the current political marriage is indeed very beneficial for the Great Xia Empire, now that the war of Song and Xia has ended, the two countries are in a honeymoon period, at this time the prince of Great Xia married the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, which is more conducive to the peaceful development of the two countries, and is also conducive to the trade between the two countries, which is a rare good thing for the Great Xia Empire; As for marrying the princess of Dali, in fact, Li Liangzuo is to prepare for a more distant future, now the Great Xia Empire and Dali are not bordering, but the two countries are bordering the Great Song Dynasty at the same time, one is located in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, and the other is located in the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty, which is of great strategic significance and importance.
After deciding to marry the princesses of the two countries, Li Liangzuo sent two groups of envoys to carry a large number of gifts to the Great Song Dynasty and Dali respectively.
Today's Great Xia Empire is in full swing, but only Li Liangzuo knows how big the gap between himself and the Great Song Dynasty is, and the Great Song Dynasty will still be the strongest opponent of the Great Xia Empire for a long time in the future.
The second is more presented, asking for recommendations:
