Half a month later, in the imperial study of Ziwei Palace.
Xiao Zhuozi hurriedly held a recital report in front of Emperor Xia Li Liangzuo and said, "Your Majesty, the battle report sent by the Western Regions; It is said that His Royal Highness the King of Jin has taken the kingdom of Khorezm and occupied its entire territory; However, our army clashed with the Seljuk Empire, and our army completely annihilated the 100,000 elite of the Serbian army at a very small cost. ” Li Liangzuo stretched out his hand to look at the battle report and said with a smile: "Bingchang, this kid has finally lived up to my expectations, and I am much more relieved to have him to guard the Western Regions." ” "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin used a lot of gunpowder in this battle, and I am afraid that the gunpowder stored in the Western Regions is about to be exhausted."
Xiao Zhuozi reported to Li Liangzuoyu: "And it will take at least two or three months for our army to transport gunpowder to the Western Regions, do you think we should set up a gunpowder production base in the Western Regions, so that once we are at war with the Seljuk Empire, the gunpowder put in front of our army can be replenished."
Li Liangzuo didn't answer for a long time, and after careful consideration, Li Liangzuo said: "This matter is left to you, select fifty gunpowder craftsmen to send to the Western Regions, but these people are not under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the King of Jin, but under the jurisdiction of the Firearms Research and Technology Bureau, and the gunpowder produced must be centrally managed, and a team of soldiers and horses must be sent to protect them, if there is any accident, you should know what to do." ” "Minions understand" After Xiao Zhuozi left, Li Liangzuo threw the report aside and said, "Fuzi, I will find out the few holy points I wrote back then. ” "Your Majesty, are you talking about the holy decree that canonized His Royal Highness the King of Jin?"
Xiao Fuzi asked Li Liangzuo.
"Don't fuck me and pretend to be confused, hurry up and bring it."
Li Liangzuo said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, do you still need the Wang Seal and the Tiger Talisman?"
asked Xiao Fuzi again.
"Bring them all to me."
Li Liangzuo said.
It didn't take long for a few little eunuchs to come over with two large wooden boxes, each of which was still locked, and the wooden boxes were very exquisitely made; After everyone went down, Xiao Fuzi personally opened the two wooden boxes, one of which contained six holy decrees, and the other wooden box contained six large seals and six jade tiger talismans.
Li Liangzuo checked the three things, then wrote some things on the holy decree and covered them with the jade seal, and then said to Xiao Fuzi: "I will send a minister to send these three things to the hands of the King of Jin." ” "Yes, the minion commands" The materials used in these six decrees are very expensive, and all the patterns are embroidered with gold thread, and they are also inlaid with precious stones; These six holy decrees can be regarded as the six edicts of the feudal state, which are used by Li Liangzuo to divide the vassal khanates in the future, these edicts and the royal seal were prepared by Lin Feng several years ago, and they have not been used, but in the end, I don't know how many they will be used, although they are all ready, but they can be used for all that are not seen.
Five years ago, Li Liangzuo had promised Li Bingchang that as long as he could lay down a territory in the Western Regions, Li Liangzuo would canonize him the place he had laid down, as the foundation of the country, and now Li Bingchang has won the country of Khorezm, Li Liangzuo should also fulfill his promise, these three things are the edict of the feudal state to Li Bingchang, the national seal and the tiger talisman, which is also a symbol of Li Bingchang's right to act in the fiefdom, without which Li Bingchang is not qualified to rule the territory he has built.

Xue Qiaoe was reporting the military situation in the north to Malikshah: "My father has just received a battle report from the Governor of the North, Lord Sevich, that our army has penetrated deep into the 100,000 elites of Khorezm, and in the battle with the Xia army, the whole army has been wiped out, and the Xia army has suffered very little losses; According to Lord Sevic, the Xia army used a form of weapon, which they called artillery. ” "Artillery" Maliksha frowned and said: "What is that, have you heard of it?"
"I haven't heard of it, but I've heard of gunpowder in the Great Song Dynasty."
Xue Qiaoe said to Marikshah: "Erchen wonders if there is any connection between the two" "Gunpowder" Mariksha continued, "Have you ever seen this thing?"
"Father, the emperor, the sons have not seen it."
Xue Qiaoe continued to Malikshah: "However, when the retainer was in the Great Song Dynasty, I heard the generals and courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty talk about it, and it is said that this kind of thing is very powerful, like thunder, according to the description of Lord Sevic, it is very likely that it is this kind of thing. ” "This new weapon is something we have never touched before, and in the East they have been used on the battlefield."
Maliksha said with a very worried face: "The gap between us and the East is still too big, we have the East World, and we don't have the East World, do you know what it means?"
"Erchen understands that this means that we will be at a disadvantage in the battle with the Xia army, and we will have to pay a greater price if we want to win."
Xue Qiaoer said.
"That's just one of them."
Maliksha continued: "This means that whether we cooperate with the Great Song to destroy the Xia Kingdom, or the Xia Kingdom to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, there will be a great war between us and them on the issue of the Western Regions; The reason why we and the Great Song Dynasty are able to cooperate now is because of the existence of the Great Xia Empire."
"What are we going to do next, Father," Xue Qiaoer asked Mariksha.
"We fight to the death with Xia Jun, we can only cheapen the Great Song Empire; Rather than this, it is better to let the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Xia fight to the death, and we will reap the benefits of the fish.
"Ordered Sevich to retreat his army to the border area to prevent the Xia army from attacking, and at the same time to find out what the artillery is." ” "Father means that our operations in the north are temporarily suspended" "Yes, let's do it" "Yes, the retainers are commanded" Today's Seljuk Empire can be said to be the hegemon of West Asia, and the entire Seljuk Empire occupies the Iranian Plateau, the Mesopotamian Plain, and the Asia Minor Peninsula; The Seljuk Empire, which stretched from the Caucasus Mountains in the north, to the Sinai Peninsula in the south, to the Indus Valley in the east, and across the sea from Constantinople in the west, was the most powerful country in the world.
However, there were many problems within the Seljuk Empire, there were many ethnic groups in the country, and there were few places where food could be produced in the highlands and hilly areas; There were many vassal states in the Seljuk Empire, such as the Ghaznavid dynasty, the Coleman dynasty, and so on; Despite this, the Seljuk Empire was still very wealthy.
Because the Seljuk Empire occupies the transportation arteries between the East and the West, the products of the East must enter the West through the Seljuk Empire, so the Seljuk Empire has become an important trade center in the world.
Porcelain is the most important commodity among them.
