Chapter 174: May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health 7
From ancient times to the present, fighting a war has never been an easy matter. It takes a long time from recruiting soldiers to preparing food and fodder, from strategic deployment to actual expedition.
In other words, it is very likely that the Yuan Dynasty is already preparing for war.
Zhong Yu looked at Qin Dingxiang eagerly: "General..."
Qin Dingxiang immediately knelt before Ming Ang, his face filled with determination: "I would rather die on the battlefield than refuse a single death!"
Ming Ang quickly helped him up and said, "General, you are too polite. I am young and do not know military affairs. I need your help."
Qin Dingxiang was moved. After standing up, he looked at Mei Xiangxue silently. He thought Mei Xiangxue was a really good woman who taught the little emperor to be sensible and polite. At the same time, he once again lamented that he and Mei Xiangxue were not destined to be together and could not have such a virtuous wife.
Mei Xiangxue didn't know what Qin Dingxiang was thinking, but she keenly sensed that he must be thinking about some messy things again.
In order not to reveal her flaws in front of the other fish, she pretended not to feel Qin Dingxiang's fiery gaze and tried not to make eye contact with him.
Fortunately, Prince An was thinking about something and was unaware of the relationship between his "confidant" and other men.
The war between Liang and Yuan was inevitable, but now Liang had learned of Yuan's conspiracy, and some people were wondering if they could take advantage of it.
After discussion, the most powerful people in Liang State formulated a response plan and then began their respective deployments.
In the eyes of others, Mei Xiangxue is a woman. Both Prince An and Prime Minister Qin Ding just let her wait for the result in the palace.
But Mei Xiangxue couldn't sit still. She asked the weapon supervisor for some things and started rubbing mines with her hands in Qingning Palace.
It was still the era of cold weapons, and everyone fought head-on with bayonets. The Yuan people were good at cavalry, and their cavalry was very famous, and the Liang State suffered a lot from this.
Thinking of the power of explosives on the battlefield, Mei Xiangxue made the first grenade of this era while chanting "Amitabha, good, good."
Afterwards, Mei Xiangxue made some enhanced versions of thunder bombs and caltrop fireballs. Considering that iron cannons required a more complex production process, she only drew the blueprints and did not make them herself.
Qingning Palace was crowded and small, so the experiment could not be carried out. Mei Xiangxue told her son about it, and Qin Dingxiang accompanied them to a secret imperial farm.
"boom!"
Looking at the mountain wall with a hole blown out, Qin Dingxiang was stunned for a long time.
At this moment, he could no longer think about women. His mind was only filled with thoughts about how much effect this would have if he could apply it to the battlefield.
After he came to his senses, he immediately ordered the villa to be sealed off, and at the same time rode at full speed to send a message to Prince An and others, asking them to make time to come and see it.
With the secret weapon, several people became more confident and began to think about finding Yuan State to practice.
So, Duke Jingguo, who was unaware that he had been exposed, received the news that Prince An and the young emperor had a fierce argument in the imperial study.
Not long after, he witnessed the tit-for-tat confrontation between General Qin Dingxiang and Prince An Minghe at a grand court meeting.
Duke Jingguo was extremely excited, feeling that his chance had come, so he contacted the spy stationed in Prince An's mansion, drugged Princess An, and put the blame on Mei Xiangxue.
Although Prince An likes Mei Xiangxue, he is not without feelings for his first wife, so he certainly will not let Duke Jingguo's conspiracy succeed.
To lure the enemy into a trap, Princess An had to be "poisoned." So Prince An spoke with Mei Xiangxue and asked the palace physician to develop a medicine that would create the illusion of being poisoned, but in reality, it only had the effect of restoring the body.
At Mei Xiangxue's suggestion, Prince An did not hide this from Princess An.
Princess An was moved by Prince An's trust in her. In order to help Prince An perform this scene well, she used all her life's skills to interpret the "poisoning" vividly.
Similar to the original plot, Princess An was "poisoned" and Prince An angrily entered the palace to seek an explanation, but was "seriously injured" by the ambushed general.
Not long after that, General Qin Dingxiang was "retaliated" by King An's men and was seriously injured.
Duke Jingguo felt that the time had come, so he sent a signal to the Yuan Dynasty.
Soon, news of the Yuan army's approaching border reached the capital of Liang.
General Qin Dingxiang went to the battlefield "with injuries", and the people of Liang State were in panic.
Duke Jingguo and the Yuan Kingdom thought that everything was under control. They didn't expect that Qin Dingxiang, who was rumored to be seriously injured, had already set up a tight net. As soon as the Yuan cavalry appeared, they were directly blown over by explosives.
Thunderous noises rang out among the Yuan army, sparks flew everywhere and ignited the bodies of the Yuan soldiers, cries and screams were heard everywhere.
The Yuan soldiers were so frightened that they fell to their knees and shouted, "God is angry! God is angry!"
Qin Dingxiang led his troops to take advantage of the chaos and fought their way in and out seven times, beating the Yuan army until they cried for their parents.
This was a one-sided massacre. The Liang State was in high spirits, while the Yuan State was completely defeated.
At the same time, Duke Jingguo, who was far away in the capital, led his men into the palace.
"Little bastard, Prince An is half dead, and Prime Minister Qin Ding won't live much longer. Now there's no one to protect you. If you know what's best for you, hand over the imperial seal and write the imperial edict of succession. Otherwise, don't blame your uncle for being rude!"
Duke Jingguo looked at Ming Ang sitting on the throne, grinned, and waved his hand, and Mei Xiangxue was brought up.
In order to increase his bargaining chips, he also sent people to Qingning Palace to bring the empress dowager over.
Looking at Mei Xiangxue, who had her hands and feet free and looked indifferent, Ming Ang looked at Duke Jingguo with an expression that was hard to describe, as if he was looking at a dead person.
He had seen the fighting power of his beloved mother. Even a weakling like Duke Jingguo could be beaten ten times with one punch from his mother.
Zhong Yu, on the other hand, was unaware of Mei Xiangxue's abilities. This loyal minister stood in front of Ming Ang, pointing at the Duke of Jingguo and shouting indignantly, "Shameless scoundrel! Release the Empress Dowager!"
Looking at Zhong Yu who was attacking Duke Jingguo crazily, Mei Xiangxue winked at Ming Ang.
Mei Xiangxue: You didn’t tell him about me?
Mingang: I forgot (??w??).
OK!
Mei Xiangxue sighed helplessly, hoping that she would not scare the old tutor when she took action later.
Duke Jingguo was so angry after being scolded by Zhong Yu that his blood boiled. He decided to teach these ungrateful people a lesson, so he turned around and gave Mei Xiangxue a devilish smile: "Empress Dowager, it seems that I have to wrong you!"
Mei Xiangxue wanted to sigh again. Calculating the time, Prince An should have already made all the arrangements outside, so she did not hesitate any longer. Before anyone could react, she flashed to the side of Duke Jingguo, grabbed his collar and threw him to the ground.
"I'm old and my hearing is poor. What did Duke Jingguo just say? Do you want to bleed?"
Mei Xiangxue held Duke Jingguo down with one hand, and with the other hand she slowly pulled out a sharp hairpin from her head, piercing it directly through Duke Jingguo's right hand, nailing it to the ground.
"what!!!"
