Starfall Iron and New Weapons
"Bo!"
When Han read out the name.
Everyone's first reaction was…
Do you think you heard it wrong?!
Or was he old and faint that he even mispronounced the name.
But one by one looked up.
See the solemn and dignified expression on Han's face.
Just to be sure, they didn't hear it wrong myself.
Han was right.
It is the prince "Bai".
Everyone turned their heads and looked at a very inconspicuous young man in the corner.
This man is unremarkable.
Appearance is very ordinary.
If it is on the street, it's the kind that no one looks at.
Even in the luxurious attire of a prince.
There's nothing royal about him.
Prince Bai looked stunned and eager.
Not just him.
Everyone, including the oldest Taifu.
No one can guess.
The heir of the contest is actually this mediocre guy who can no longer be mediocre.
"why?''
The nine most promising princes secretly clenched their fists.
They are very puzzled.
They are dissatisfied.
But Han reigned for decades and his prestige is there.
No one dared to question on the spot.
After a brief silence, everyone agreed to leave.
The prince Bai, who was still very stunned, was left behind.
"Get ready, I'm running out of time.''
Han looked at Bai and said briefly.
"Father…"
Bai hesitated.
"You want to ask me why I didn't choose your excellent royal brothers but chose you instead?"
Han said calmly.
"You will understand later.''
Han didn't say much.
Just a few words.
Take things as the basis, and rule the country according to law.
And gave a brief set of guidelines to Bai.
For cypress.
Han is actually not satisfied.
There really is no talent in any field.
He is very mediocre.
He is not even eligible to inherit the throne.
But Han still chose him.
Bai Ping is unremarkable.
But there is one big advantage.
That would be his obedience.
Kind of like a mommy boy.
Han explained the words and policies without the slightest doubt.
Nodding all the way.
At night, the Great Wilderness City is still very lively.
It seems to be no different than usual.
But under calm waters, the undercurrent is surging.
To the palace of the nine most promising princes.
They have gathered their respective people.
"Why did the emperor choose Bai? Why? Why?"
The First Prince's Mansion.
With a "pop" sound.
A beautifully shaped pottery was slammed to the ground by the eldest prince.
The people around were silent.
There are counselors, ministers, generals, scholars...
But no one answered.
From daytime to now, everyone can't figure out why.
Among the nine outstanding princes.
The eldest prince is the most prestigious and is considered the most promising.
As the saying goes, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Han announcement today.
He gave the eldest prince a heavy blow!
"Royal father, I also recognize the loss to the third and eighth brothers, but in your eyes, I'm not as good as Bai this waste?"
The eldest prince had a ferocious look on his face, and said bitterly.
"Father, you are old, your eyes are faint, and you can't even see people clearly!"
"I also have to make some good choices for the sake of this country.''
Such outrageous remarks.
The others present did not respond.
Since Han announced his heir position.
Everybody knows.
Except for doing some diabolical things.
There is no other way.
"Commander."
The eldest prince looked at a tall general and asked.
"How many soldiers do you have now?"
"Among the ten thousand imperial armies, there are five thousand who can obey my command!"
Commander Xing replied.
The Imperial Army is a team that guards the gate of the palace.
There are four leaders in total.
Each commander has 2,500 people.
And that commander is the most senior among them.
"The other five thousand...''
Commander Xing glanced at the eldest prince and continued.
"Some were not drawn, and some were drawn by other palaces, but there are not many, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Are there any guards in the palace?"
A counselor reminded.
''Your Majesty's guardian team is only a thousand people, although they are all elite divisions, after all, there are not many."
The commander didn't care.
"Besides...''
Commander Xing smiled slightly, showing a hint of smugness.
"There are also people from me in the city guard army, but that one has too much appetite."
"As long as he is willing to take action, give him anything he wants!"
The eldest prince said abruptly, with a ferocious look on his face.
"With His Highness's words, everything will be easy."
The commander said with a smile.
"Father, it's not that my son is not filial, it's just that you don't know anyone well. This son is thinking about the entire Xia Kingdom."
The eldest prince muttered to himself.
Immediately, his face suddenly turned cold, a pair of sharp eyes glanced at everyone, and said coldly
"Everyone, prepare to act!"
"Tonight is the time when the sky changes!"
At this time, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps from outside the house.
A guard's voice immediately sounded.
"Your Highness, it's not good, our mansion has been breached!"
"What?''
The eldest prince and others were shocked.
The commander walked over even more quickly, opened the door, and asked.
"Which army?"
"It's the Great Wilderness Army!
The guard said tremblingly.
"The Great Wilderness Army?''
Everyone was stunned.
This army
Of course, no one does not know.
Its prestige has long disappeared in the past history.
But now, everyone's perception of the Great Wilderness Army is nothing more than an army of guards.
"What about the Imperial Army? Where are our people?"
Commander Xing hurriedly asked.
"Defeated, all defeated."
The guard said a little lost.
"Our soldiers are no opponents at all!"
The incident of Kowloon's succession intensified.
After Han announced his successor.
A climax has come!
That night, the nine princes.
They are all secretly planning to seize the throne by force.
Among them, the First Prince, Third Prince, and Eighth Prince are the most powerful.
The entire Great Desolate City.
Almost any army was all drawn to their names.
However, just before the palace changed.
No one thought of it.
The tomb-guarding army that has been guarding the Wangling Mountains, the Great Wilderness Army was suddenly mobilized and entered the Great Wilderness City.
The mansion of the nine princes was surrounded.
And successively defeated the city guards and forbidden troops who came to support.
That night heads roll.
The Great Wilderness Army is on a killing spree.
The eldest prince and the other nine princes.
No one is spared.
Including everyone under their hand.
All were killed on the spot.
This battle for the throne.
The curtain is over!
"A person who is kind and soft-hearted cannot be a good emperor."
Han stood on the high platform of the palace, watching the fire in the distance.
He remembered what Kai had told him.
The next day.
Han died in a deep sleep.
Later evaluations of the game are also very good.
Though thought to lose control of the country in old age.
But before he died, he still showed the means of the emperor and cut through the mess.
Without any hesitation, he kills all nine of his own sons to pave the way for Bai's succession.
And the prince cypress.
In the unexpected shock of everyone's eyes, he officially ascended the throne.
To the cypress generation.
Jiang Fan has not interfered at all.
Bai also didn't know about Jiang Fan's existence.
The legend of god is still a legend.
For Xia Guo.
A new era begins.
As Han predictions.
Bai Ping is unremarkable.
There is simply no means and ability of the emperor.
But he was very obedient.
Always govern the country according to the policy left by Han.
The blind development of medicine got messed up and the development of other disciplines start looking up slowly.
Bai's reign was not long.
Only twenty years.
During this time.
Progress has been made in various subject areas, but unusually slowly.
This is evident from the number of people.
When Han died.
Xia has a population of over 1.3 million.
And when Bai died.
Twenty years.
It has only added 100,000 people!
During this period, there are hardly any particularly significant results.
The whole country, there are no big changes either.
It is still almost the same as the period of Han and Kai.
Research aspects of technology theory.
The three colleges: Kewu College, Medical College, and Tiangong College almost occupy more than 90% of the shares.
It can be said that it was monopolized by these three colleges.
The only thing that made Jiang Fan shine was.
On the wilderness in Bluestar.
A whole new metal was discovered.
This metal looks like iron.
But various attributes are also almost iron cousins.
Even better than iron.
It can be said to be an upgraded version of iron.
After being sent to the palace.
Yubai personally named it, Iron meteorite.
The emergence of Iron meteorite.
Let the industrial development of the Xia Kingdom rapidly rise to a new level.
It replaces iron.
An essential thing compared with VIbranium, the role of Iron meteorite is not so obvious.
But even more essential.
Some envisaged weapons were finally able to be created.
For example, Artillery!
This is the idea that many scholars of Kewu College and Tiangong College had long ago.
Especially after the big game.
Many scholars are very interested in the use of black powder.
A lot of people have envisioned a variety of weapons.
But because of the lack of iron ore.
These assumptions can't test.
With the death of Kai.
Gradually, fewer and fewer scholars are involved in this research.
And weapons made of Iron meteorite.
Naturally better than ordinary iron.
Inside the palace.
Now comes the biggest problem before every emperor's death.
The choice of heirs!
Bai leaned against the back of the chair.
Weakly looked at the princes kneeling below.
Suddenly, he had a clear understanding of why Han chose him to succeed himself.
No need for ambitious people.
Just follow the steps.
This country will be able to move forward steadily and naturally.
The same is true.
Although the domination of the beat is very weak.
But the entire Xia Kingdom in twenty years is still moving forward.
Just that this development is not so obvious.
Bai also made up his mind.
Got one similar to him.
An unremarkable and very inconspicuous prince "Zuo" as the heir.
Only Bai did not have the eyes of Kai and Han,
This time, he was wrong.
Yu looked loyal and sincere.
But in fact, his inner ambition is not small.
There are many ideas and plans.
In the words of the future.
It's just the eyes are high and the hands are low.
After choosing an heir, Bai died like this.
The evaluation of Bai in later generations is controversial.
Some people think that Bai is a guarding king.
Some people think that the good development of the Xia Kingdom was abandoned in vain because of Bai's inaction.
Extremes must be reversed.
If the world is divided for a long time, it will be united, and it will be divided for a long time.
This is the law of history.
Xia Guo was not spared either.
Without Jiang Fan's interference.
Xia Kingdom after the throne.
Also went down this old road.
Yu ascended the throne soon.
Still working hard.
Very cautious.
Remember Bai's last words.
Don't dare to do too much action.
But over time.
The various contradictions that Xia Guo has leftover from the Bai era are highlighted.
Facing these contradictions, Yu overestimated his abilities.
He wants a complete solution in one go.
One of the contradictions is the resources for technology and research.
All are concentrated in the hands of the three colleges.
After so many years, the three academies are no longer just places for academic and technical research.
There's a hierarchy in there.
It has become a private place for various sectarian forces.
The descendants of scholars are easy to get in.
While civilians, Ten out of 10,000 people will be admitted.
In the ten years, after a grand celebration.
Yu decided to take action against this sect's nobility classes.
The first is to build a new college.
This move was naturally met with fierce opposition from the three academies.
But it is estimated that the heart agrees.
Next.
Various means of suppression came one after another.
By this time, the people from the three colleges.
There are many forces in the academy that have enjoyed the benefits for decades.
How could they be willing to be slaughtered.
Violent opposition.
In the dark, it is preparing for the worst.
The study of black powder has been brought up again.
This is before the end of the year something that is expressly forbidden.
It even blocked all the information about black powder.
The three colleges also disbanded various research groups.
But by this time, nobody cares about that anymore.
Your life is at stake.
The principle of black powder is not difficult.
Many schools still have some left.
Soon, Black powder has been re-studied.
Immediately after it's a matter of mass usage.
Under the investment of the three major colleges and various forces, regardless of the cost.
The progress of gunpowder is very rapid.
You could say a thousand miles a day.
Soon after black powder was re-studied.
More powerful and more practical, Yellow Gunpowder is born.
Gunpowder packs, fire, artillery, etc. weapons are successively produced.
Of course, these weapons at the beginning of manufacture are also very crude.
There is no such power in the future.
But it appears for the more powerful firearms behind and laid a solid foundation.
At the same time.
The three academies secretly developed Operation 2.5, which was discovered by Yu.
But he made a move that was difficult for everyone to understand.
Far from preventing these studies.
Instead after watching the difficult firing of the fire system and the blasting of the artillery.
Heart firmly believes.
These gunpowder weapons are not going to do much at all.
He didn't even laugh at the people from the three major academies.
Let the three academies go to research.
And during the fifteen years of your reign.
That's the truth.
Gunpowder has not yet been used for bows and arrows.
Bluestar's bow and arrow.
But super-high technology, plus the blessing of star meteorite and Vibranium.
The initial stage musket.
Of course not an opponent!
Yu also issued many orders in his later years.
At this time, it can be said that it is a little old and faint.
These commands.
Let the whole turbulent Xia Kingdom be more chaotic.
It also laid the groundwork for the chaos in the Xia Kingdom later!
After Yu died.
The First Prince succeeds.
That's right.
On the choice of heirs.
Yu did not listen to Bai's last words, but followed his own perception.
I chose to stand tall and not stand up virtuous.
And the eldest prince is not only talented but ambitious.
And also very coquettish.
A spoiled big kid!
Plus the turbulent environment in Xia Kingdom.
The fall of the Xia Kingdom is inevitable.
"Is it finally coming? No matter how brilliant the dynasty is, it will eventually come to an end.''
Jiang Fan sighed.
He had no intention of intervening.
This is the normal law of the evolution of things.
The current Xia Kingdom is like a pool of dirty water.
There is hope for change.
At the same time.
On the second continent.
The action of the six-legged python are also becoming more frequent.
They began to repeatedly invade the territory, constantly provoking.
Getting ready to officially challenge the dominance.
