I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

It has to be admitted that the Prime Minister of Nanyue, Tang Bo, is a guy who is very good at taking advantage of human weaknesses.

At this time, he is still keeping things in suspense, and half of the words are left unsaid, which makes the current Emperor Tiande Li Zongmin anxious.

Li Zongmin said anxiously: "Prime Minister Tang, just what, you tell me!"

In the court, including the crown prince Li Shiyu, a group of court officials stretched their necks at the same time, waiting eagerly for the next words of Prime Minister Tang Bo.

However, when the crown prince Li Shiyu looked at Tang Bo, there was a little more contempt in his eyes.

In his heart, this crown prince brought 100,000 elite wolf soldiers, but he failed to defeat the Longcheng army that was assisted by magic under the city of Yongzhou.

You, Tang Bo, are just a civil official, a guy who can only play with a pen and talk, can you still resist the thunder summoned by the demon under Pang Xianchu?

This prince would like to hear what good strategies you have to defend against the enemy, so that you dare to say those righteous words just now?

Uh——

On the other side, Prime Minister Tang Bo hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the atmosphere in the court had been set to a similar level, he said slowly:

"Reporting to the emperor, I think that the thunder summoned by the Dragon City rebels with demons in the prince's mouth should be a kind of weapon in essence, and the principle is similar to fireworks and firecrackers!"

"Impossible!"

Before Tang Bo finished speaking, the prince Li Shiyu on the other side was furious on the spot.

He didn't care about the etiquette in the court, and rushed to the Prime Minister Tang Bo in two steps, pointing at his nose and said: "Prime Minister Tang, you are insinuating and accusing this prince of fighting poorly, right?"

"Fireworks and firecrackers, do you think this prince is a three-year-old child? Can't you even tell the difference between fireworks and thunder?"

"This prince tells you, the firecrackers used by the Longcheng rebels to attack my South Vietnam army are definitely not fireworks and firecrackers. Have you ever seen fireworks and firecrackers that can smash people several feet away with a bang?"

"Have you seen fireworks and firecrackers that can collapse solid city walls with a bang?"

"Have you seen fireworks and firecrackers that can make sand and rocks fly on the spot with a bang?"

"Have you seen-"

"Enough!"

Just when the prince Li Shiyu was facing the prime minister Tang Bo and spitting all over the latter's face, the Emperor Tiande on the dragon throne finally couldn't help but speak and stopped this farce in the court.

Li Zongmin said: "Prince, let Tang Xiang finish his words. It is not right to quarrel and play in the court!"

"Father, I-"

"Get out!"

Li Shiyu wanted to insist on something, but was scolded by Li Zongmin.

In the end, he had to return to his position.

But the eyes that wanted to cut two taels of meat from Tang Bo never moved away from the latter.

Ahem!

At this time, Prime Minister Tang Bo coughed twice and continued: "Your Majesty, I can understand the excessive reaction of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If I had not had the opportunity to see the weapon called copper cannon with my own eyes;"

"Perhaps, I would also be like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and think that the thing that can knock down the city wall with a bang is a kind of thunder summoned by the magic!"

Bronze cannon?

When this new term came out of the mouth of Prime Minister Tang Bo, the civil and military officials in the court of Nanyue looked at each other in confusion.

No one knows what this copper cannon is!

Before the Emperor Tiande on the dragon throne asked, Prime Minister Tang Bo took the initiative to kneel down and apologize, saying:

"Your Majesty, I want to apologize to you here. On the fifth day of the seventh month of the second year of Tiande, I violated the emperor's policy of closing the country to the outside world and met with the barbarians of the Atlantic Country in private!"

Swish!

As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked.

Nanyue is close to the sea, and there are often blond and blue-eyed barbarians riding large ships to cross the Yangcheng for trade and commerce. They are not unfamiliar with the Atlantic Country.

However, after Li Zongmin, the King of Guangxin of the Daxin Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor in the first year of Lingwu of Daxin and established the Nanyue Kingdom, he adopted a policy of closing the country to the outside world.

Since then, there have been few traces of blond and blue-eyed barbarians in Yangcheng.

This Prime Minister Tang Bo actually met with the barbarians of the Atlantic Country in private a few days ago. According to the laws of Nanyue, nine clans must be executed!

Sure enough, upon hearing that Prime Minister Tang Bo dared to violate the imperial edict and meet with the barbarians in private, Emperor Tiande's face on the dragon throne suddenly became even more livid.

However, because it was a time to recruit people, and because Prime Minister Tang Bo's move was also for the survival of the Nanyue Kingdom, Emperor Tiande did not hold him accountable at the court meeting.

Instead, he waved his hand and said generously: "Prime Minister Tang, I pardon you, go on!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tang Bo adjusted his breathing and continued: "Your Majesty, the Atlantic barbarians I met this time are here to trade with the South Vietnam on behalf of their Atlantic Chamber of Commerce;"

"I also saw the copper cannon after talking with the barbarian leader Markel and boarding the barbarian ship."

As he spoke, Tang Bo began to gesture with his hands and said: "The copper cannon cast by the barbarians has a barrel of about three feet and three meters long, mounted on a two-wheeled vehicle, and can fire solid projectiles;"

"I saw it with my own eyes, the solid projectile fired has a range of thousands of steps, and after falling into the sea, it can stir up waves two or three feet high, accompanied by the sound of thunder like rolling thunder;"

Hmm?

After listening to Tang Bo's description, the originally furious Crown Prince Li Shiyu suddenly became quiet, and carefully recalled the appearance of the monsters in the Longcheng army's southern expedition.

It seems that there is also a black iron pipe on the two-wheeled vehicle, and it is covered with fiery red silk.

When he thought of this, Crown Prince Li Shiyu hurriedly asked: "Prince Tang, then, is the copper cannon of the Yi people covered with bright red silk?"

Uh--

Tang Bo hesitated for a moment and said: "It seems that it is not!"

After thinking about it, he looked at Crown Prince Li Shiyu and asked: "Why, Your Highness, the copper cannon of the Yi people is not covered with red silk, and what is the difference between it and the monsters of the Longcheng rebels?"

Li Shiyu shook his head and said: "No, the monsters of the Longcheng rebels are also mounted on two-wheeled vehicles, and it seems that their soldiers are holding torches;"

"This prince was at that time I thought they were performing a ritual of demons!"

"That's right!"

Tang Bo slapped his head and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the demons used by the Dragon City rebels are just a kind of copper cannon, not thunder that cannot be defeated by human power;"

"If our Nanyue Kingdom can use the power of the barbarians and use the copper cannons carried by their fleet to assist in the battle, it may not be impossible to defeat the Dragon City Southern Expedition Army and try to destroy our Nanyue Kingdom!"

"I dare to advise you to use the power of the Atlantic Ocean barbarians to fight against Chen Huaian's Dragon City Southern Expedition Army. I hope your Majesty will grant your approval!"
