"General Zhao, please watch your words! What do you mean by saying that women are here to cause trouble?! Our princess is indeed a woman, but she is not an ordinary woman! And our princess is not here to cause trouble!"
After speaking fearlessly to General Zhao, McQueen turned to Ye Zeyu, took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Ye Zeyu with both hands.
While Ye Zeyu was reading the letter, she said with a smug look, "After learning that Northern Yan had a particularly powerful firearm, the princess contacted the Su family in Jinzhou and transferred a lot of medicinal herbs."
One part of it was medicine for wounded soldiers and civilians, and the other part was poison prepared by the queen.
Since the range of bows and arrows was short compared to that of the enemy's cannons, the princess sought out famous craftsmen in the capital and asked them to devise a way to stuff poison into firecrackers and then shoot them at the enemy camp.
The princess said that a generous reward would surely bring forth brave men, and within three days, a craftsman made the firecrackers the princess wanted!
The medicinal herbs sent by the Su family have now arrived in Ganzhou, and the semi-finished firecrackers made by the craftsmen have also been delivered. As long as the poison is stuffed into the firecrackers, the enemy troops will be poisoned!
Moreover, the princess said that this poison is extremely potent; once one person is poisoned, it will infect others, so none of the people from Northern Yan will escape!
The people in the tent were stunned, still amazed that Su Muxi had come up with a way to defeat the enemy, when Mai Kun added, "Oh, right! My princess also had someone find out some news. The Northern Yan side has very few cannonballs left, and half of their cannons are broken. The people of Northern Yan are scavenging ironware in the northern border to make cannonballs. If they want to counterattack, now is the perfect opportunity."
These words made the tent even quieter.
In addition to the initial surprise, a hint of admiration gradually appeared in the eyes of the crowd.
A woman actually solved their current predicament.
Princess Yong'an is truly an extraordinary woman!
General Zhao, who had just reprimanded Su Muxi, immediately asked after hearing these words: "How did Princess Yong'an manage to find out about the situation in Northern Yan? You must know that with military intelligence at hand, there is no room for error! And what about those firecrackers and poison? I wonder if they will work."
"Have you heard of the Su family, one of the four great families of Jinzhou? Our princess is the direct granddaughter of the Su family patriarch! The Su family mainly deals in medicinal herbs. No matter how barren the Northern Yan is, it will always need medicinal herbs. In business dealings, what's so difficult about getting information!"
Moreover, the Northern Yan people are currently scrambling for ironware in the northern frontier on a large scale, so it's not difficult to find out if you're willing to!
As for the firecrackers and poison that General Zhao is worried about, it's not your money. Setting off a volley at the Northern Yan enemy camp won't cause any losses. Whether it works or not, General Zhao can decide for himself!
McQueen's blunt retort left General Zhao somewhat embarrassed.
Ye Zeyu finally finished reading the letter that Su Muxi wrote to him, which was more than ten pages long.
Although the letter simply recounted what McQueen had just said in detail, without any words of longing, it still warmed Ye Ziyu's heart and moved him deeply.
Coming from the capital, it would take at least half a month to travel by carriage.
So Xi'er planned all of this almost immediately after giving birth.
The reason I haven't told him anything is simply because I don't want him to be distracted.
But Xi'er did all this for him silently, directly presenting the results to him.
Ye Ziyu tried hard to control his emotions, pursed his dry lips, and looked at Mai Kun, asking, "Where is the Princess Consort now?"
“It’s in the clinic in Ganzhou City,” McQueen answered honestly.
"It's an inn, isn't it?" one of them said, thinking McQueen had misspoke.
But then McQueen explained seriously, “It’s a clinic! My Queen’s clinic in the city. She said that every citizen has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation, and the country needs doctors like them right now!”
The princess has summoned all the doctors in Ganzhou City and asked Elder Ge to teach them how to quickly bandage the soldiers' wounds.
The princess said, "The soldiers are bleeding and fighting on the front lines, and we, the medical professionals, will do our best to save every single one of their lives!"
Upon hearing this, the tough men in the tent couldn't help but tear up.
Meanwhile, in the Northern Yan tent, Murong Tian's eyes turned red as he forcefully grabbed Zhang Tong's neck.
"Didn't you say that the cannons you made were absolutely flawless? Didn't you say that with your cannons, you could shoot all the way to the capital in one go? Then tell me, why are half of the cannons broken after only two months of use?!"
In last year's battle, countless soldiers of the Northern Yan died or were wounded, and they have not yet recovered.
If his father hadn't witnessed the power of cannons, he would never have agreed to send troops to the northern frontier.
Once the cannons proved their power on the battlefield, he felt that unifying the world was only a matter of time, and soon the whole world would be his.
Unexpectedly, just yesterday, nearly half of their cannons broke down, injuring many of their soldiers.
Zhang Tong looked pained and forcefully slapped Murong Tian's hand that was choking her neck.
Seeing that Zhang Tong's face was gradually losing color, Murong Tian quickly let go of her hand, then changed to a gentle expression and hugged her into his arms.
"Tongtong, I'm sorry. I was just angry for a moment. You know I didn't want to hurt you. I was just afraid of letting Father down and that something might go wrong with this military expedition, which is why I made a mistake. Are you alright?"
After Murong Tian finished speaking, he gently began to examine Zhang Tong's neck.
Looking at Murong Tian's handsome face, Zhang Tong felt utterly regretful.
She had thought that once she left Qi with Murong Tian, she would soar to great heights like other transmigrators.
May you achieve success in both your career and love life.
But she was wrong.
She greatly underestimated the wisdom of the ancients, and she also greatly underestimated human nature.
Murong Tian only had designs on her and didn't like her at all!
Moreover, she discovered that Murong Tian was completely incompetent!
He said he wouldn't touch her because he cherished her too much and wanted to save the best for their wedding day. But she wasn't stupid. She might believe his lies once or twice, but as time went on, she began to suspect something was amiss.
For this reason, she even secretly gave Murong Tianxia medicine.
As it turns out, Murong Tian was no different from a eunuch!
But it was impossible for her to leave Murong Tian and Northern Yan again.
Because she had made too many promises to Murong Tian, he simply wouldn't let her leave.
Moreover, she knew that if she couldn't fulfill her promises to Murong Tian, even death would be a pipe dream.
There was nothing wrong with the cannon she designed, and its power was proven in the first two months.
However, she misjudged the smelting technology and industrial level of this era.
In addition, Murong Tian was pressing her too hard, so she didn't have time to improve the iron smelting technology of this era, which is why the cannon barrel exploded.
