Chapter 868 0863 [Collusion between Xiliao and Xixia](2/2)

Training a musketeer team of three thousand people was nothing to the Ming Dynasty, but it was quite difficult in Xixia.

Moreover, Xixia is still casting cannons.

Li Qianshun asked again: "It is said that the Ming Dynasty had a kind of fire gun that could be fired without a match rope?"

Li Renzhong said: "It should be fired with flint. However, I asked craftsmen to make several guns, and they worked sometimes and sometimes not. Pulling the spring spring ten times can only fire three or four times at most. No matter how you improve it, you can't improve it."

"Then make one with a match rope first." Li Qianshun said.

After inspecting the firearms, when he returned to the palace, a eunuch greeted him and whispered, and Li Qianshun's good mood disappeared instantly.

But it was Brother Richard who forcibly demolished private houses and expanded his own Jin Palace.

Today's Jin Prince's Mansion has been expanded once, and some of the decorations are seriously illegal. Now it is not restrained and is being expanded a second time, which makes Li Qianshun feel seriously uneasy.

Li Qianshun said to the accompanying eunuch: "Reduce the expenses in the palace. I, the concubine, the prince, and the princess will only sew one set of winter clothes this year. Daily dishes and fine wines will also be reduced by another 20%. Don't do this. Side story, just do it quietly."

"Your Majesty, you have wronged yourself so much!" the eunuch said, wiping his tears.

Li Qianshun is indeed aggrieved.

He succeeded to the throne when he was three years old, and his mother's party was in power. The Empress Dowager Liang made Xixia into a mess. Fortunately, he angered the Liao State and sent an envoy to poison the Empress Dowager Liang to death. Only then did Li Qianshun finally be able to take charge personally and marry the princess of the Liao State for support.

However, the Liao Kingdom fell, and his queen and son died of illness one after another inexplicably. Brother Richard wielded military power to bully the emperor.

Now there are even more internal and external troubles.

At home he was afraid of brother Richard's rebellion, and abroad he was afraid of the Ming Dynasty coming to kill him.

Now I can only live frugally, save some money between my teeth, and quickly build firearms to save my life. Maybe I still can't defeat the Ming Dynasty, but I can suppress Brother Richard, otherwise he won't be able to sleep at night.
