Thinking of this, Lin Yi looked at Wang Yue.
"Investigate whether our intelligence has been leaked, or whether the Frostwest Empire has its own methods to find out about this information."
This is no small matter; if it involves an intelligence leak, then it's a major issue.
If there are other methods, then we must take precautions as soon as possible, otherwise we will probably suffer losses later. It is better to find out as soon as possible.
"Understood!"
Wang Yue's eyes lit up. The Net had encountered another challenge, which was an interesting development.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, lost in thought.
Now that Zhennan's fate is basically decided, the next target is the Frostwest Empire, so he still needs to reveal his trump card.
As for the Zhennan Dynasty, it's basically gone, so there's no need to worry about it anymore.
This time, he held nothing back, not only letting Sima Yi and Li Ru, two ruthless strategists, pass, but also putting Zhang Liao, Lü Bu, Qi Jiguang, Meng Huo, and others on the line.
This lineup is absolutely top-notch; defeating a poorly equipped Zhennan is practically a sure thing.
Now that even its former allies have abandoned Zhennan, Zhennan is basically doomed unless some miracle happens.
Now Jiumosong is trying to find connections everywhere to see me, but what good will that do?
At this point, there's no turning back; Zhennan must be destroyed, and this opportunity cannot be wasted.
His gaze shifted to the battlefield, where most of the men from the Zhennan had been beaten to the ground, and those who tried to get up were also punched in the back.
Seeing this, Lin Yi waved his hand and laughed, "Have someone separate them. My Great Liang is a great nation after all; we should at least have some magnanimity."
It's fine to watch this kind of spectacle, but if it continues like this, it becomes somewhat unseemly.
"I will take care of it immediately."
Zhao Yun nodded and immediately ordered someone to handle the matter.
With the forceful intervention of the Hundred Riders, the alien races immediately became subdued, behaving as docilely as quails.
Only then did they notice Lin Yi, and their expressions changed drastically. They quickly put down the sticks and other objects they were holding and walked towards Lin Yi.
"This humble foreign subject pays his respects to Your Majesty the Emperor!"
No matter when or where, the strong always reign supreme.
Although these small countries still harbor resentment towards Zhennan, they know what true strength is in the face of Great Liang, and naturally dare not harbor any discontent.
"Kindness!"
Lin Yi nodded slightly, his eyes suddenly becoming more dignified, and said solemnly, " Great Liang is a land of etiquette. Although you may have hatred between you, you cannot openly violate the laws of Great Liang."
Although you did not use weapons this time, I hope this will not be a repeat of the previous instance.
Conflicts between nations are forged on the battlefield, not through mutual fighting. I hope you understand that!
While this kind of thing is understandable, it's not something to be encouraged.
Hatred between nations is ultimately resolved by armies, not by battles between diplomatic missions.
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty!"
No one dared to object; they could only nod in agreement. As long as His Majesty was happy, that was all that mattered.
If we really let them go to the battlefield with Zhennan, they simply wouldn't be able to win. We still need to rely on Great Liang.
Why!
Looking at their subservient attitude, Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head. Perhaps this was the tragedy of small countries.
In the face of a great power, the so-called dignity of these small countries is nothing more than a matter of a single thought by the emperor of that great power.
He couldn't help but sigh, "The strong are respected; indeed, this is the ultimate truth of the universe. Great Liang still has a long way to go if it wants to stand proudly in the world!"
"Yes, strength is always earned through fighting, not through words," Jia Xu said with a smile.
The dominant power in the East today is undoubtedly the Great Liang Great Liang, whose prestige was earned through conquest.
You can't win by talking; you'll get your mouth slapped shut in no time.
Lin Yi looked westward and said quietly, "The strong are respected. Great Liang will continue to grow strong, and all enemies will only become stepping stones for Great Liang."
Now that I have a powerful lineup of civil and military officials, their presence can enable the Great Liang to develop rapidly. With the addition of the system, the Great Liang Great Liang will only become stronger until it unifies the world.
He looked at Zhao Yun beside him and said in a deep voice, " Zilong, how is the Heavenly Craft Workshop progressing? Have they perfected the muskets and Crouching Tiger Cannon, as well as the improved Red-Coat Cannon?"
Great Liang needs to improve many things, such as science and technology, economic foundation, and even industrial development, but weaponry is undoubtedly the most important.
With this, what if the enemy has a million-strong army? I can still rout them.
A significant advantage in equipment can often turn the tide of a battle and even bring it down; this is no exaggeration.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Craft Workshop has been working diligently on the research these past few days, and it has now achieved some results. Your Majesty will surely be satisfied," Zhao Yun said with a smile in his eyes.
oh?
Lin Yi instantly became interested; he hadn't expected Ma Jun to be so fast.
However, this was not unexpected. After all, with Qi Jiguang's help, it was easier for him to understand and he was more able to unleash his inspiration and create new things.
He laughed and said, "In that case, let's go see what this thing is all about. This thing is a trump card on the battlefield of the future!"
These things may not immediately change the battlefield landscape, but they will definitely make the attacks of the Great Liang more ferocious and powerful.
Especially the existence of the Crouching Tiger Cannon. Although this thing is not as powerful as the Red-Coat Cannon, its significance to the Great Liang is no less than that of the Red-Coat Cannon.
Soon the group arrived at the secret base of the Heavenly Craft Workshop, which was located in the Dashan to the west, far from the palace.
After passing through layers of screening, the group finally entered this secret base. From afar, they could hear explosions coming from inside, clearly indicating that experiments had been taking place there all along.
"Is this Crouching Tiger Cannon?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
He was utterly astonished by cannons; they were practically divine weapons. Now, could he finally see the real thing?
The person leading the way shook his head and chuckled, "This shell was incredibly loud, but the sound was very diffuse. It shouldn't be a cannon or anything like that; it's probably a bomb."
"Bomb?"
Everyone's eyes lit up as they recalled the explosive packs and gunpowder canisters from before. This thing was probably an upgraded version, and its power was likely even greater.
It seems that Heavenly Craft Workshop has been busy improving these weapons and equipment, and these weapons must be undergoing a transformation.
Jia Xu exclaimed excitedly, "Your Majesty's establishment of this Heavenly Craft Workshop is simply the wisest decision ever! The weaponry of Great Liang far surpasses that of any other country at the time—that's our greatest advantage!"
It's easy to imagine that with research like that of Heavenly Craft Workshop, Great Liang will only grow stronger.
