Less than an hour after Wang Ping left, another two binoculars were sent over. At this time, Du Qi had also finished dealing with government affairs. Du Qi arranged for someone to inform Shangguan Yi to come.
After Shangguan Yi entered, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, may I know what is the matter?"
Du Qi took out the binoculars and said with a smile, "Come, look at this binoculars. They were just developed by the people from the University of Science and Technology."
After Shangguan Yi picked it up, he had a strange expression on his face.
He had a confused expression.
Because he didn't know where to start.
Du Qi reminded him, "The binoculars look at the small end. Just aim the other end at the place you want to see."
After hearing this, Shangguan Yi nodded and picked up the binoculars again. Then, he aimed at the eunuch in the hall. However, after he aimed at the eunuch, the eunuch, who was originally a certain distance away, suddenly seemed to appear in his line of sight. Even in the binoculars, he couldn't help but be shocked. He took two steps back to stabilize himself. Even so, he still had a shocked expression on his face.
Because at this moment, Shangguan Yi was frightened by everything in the binoculars. Shangguan Yi put down the binoculars in his hand and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, saying, "Your Majesty, what is this thing? It can actually suck people in."
Du Qi said with a smile, "I just said that this is a binoculars. It doesn't suck people in. It can clearly see the scene in the distance. The furthest it can go is a range of three thousand feet. "
"Three thousand feet?"
After hearing this, Shangguan Yi's handsome face showed a shocked expression again. Because he never thought that a small object could see the scene three hundred steps away.
Shangguan Yi thought and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, it can see three thousand feet away. If it's used for ordinary things, it's useless. However, it's extremely important in the military. It's difficult to see clearly at three thousand feet with the naked eye. But at three thousand feet, it's as if you can see it in front of your eyes. There's room for manipulation. "
After a pause, Shangguan Yi said, "In this aspect, it's extremely useful to the military. Moreover, from three thousand zhang away, he could clearly see the enemy's arrangements and other situations, and he could foresee them in advance. To us, this will give us a huge advantage, and we will have the initiative. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "You know me well, Shangguan. Your considerations are exactly the same as mine. I also intend to use the binoculars in the army. It just so happens that we are going to attack Tianzhu in this battle, so the binoculars will come in handy. "
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
After pausing for a moment, Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty, can we deploy these binoculars to the army? At the very least, all the generals in the army should be equipped with them. "
Du Qi said, "For the time being, we won't be able to equip ourselves with them. I reckon that after we set off, Wang Ping will have people make more telescopes."
Shangguan Yi said, "That's not too late, as long as we have binoculars before the war. In that case, the subsequent battles will be much easier as we can predict them in advance. "
Du Qi said, "That's true."
Shangguan Yi said, "This subject will go back and prepare first, but can you give this subject the binoculars to study first?"
"Take it!"
Du Qi nodded.
He directly took out two binoculars and gave them to Shangguan Yi. Shangguan Yi was a bit stunned, "Your Majesty, why are you giving me two binoculars? This subject only needs one pair of binoculars."
Du Qi said, "The cabinet will have one pair of binoculars, Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang will have one pair each. When the binoculars are sent later, they will be equipped to the rest of the generals in the army. "
"Yes!"
Shangguan Yi complied.
He took the binoculars and quickly left.
Du Qi was somewhat looking forward to seeing Ma Zhou, Xue Rengui, and the others' surprised expressions when they saw the binoculars. The appearance of a new object was bound to have a great impetus, and the impact was not small. The effect of the binoculars was also huge, enough to affect the direction of a battle. Because a small detail was enough to change the course of a battle.
While Du Qi was idle and thinking about the battle, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard.
An eunuch hurriedly entered and bowed, "Your Majesty, there is an envoy from Gaoda outside the Imperial City requesting an audience. The envoy's name is Oliha, and he represents the King of Gaoda, She Shengjia, to request an audience. "
Gaoda was called by the name of the place.
She Shengjia, the King of Gaoda, was a noble of the Gupta Dynasty in Tianzhu. After the Gupta Dynasty split, She Shengjia declared herself the King of Gaoda. Du Qi's memory was very clear, but there were some omissions about Gaoda and he did not have much of an impression. However, because She Shengjia was mentioned, he had an impression.
It was not because She Shengjia was famous, but because She Shengjia had once killed someone. She Shengjia had used a scheme to kill the elder brother of the King of Jieri of the Jieri Dynasty in the south. This was how Du Qi knew about She Shengjia, and because of that, he also knew about Gaoda.
Later, She Shengjia was defeated by the King of Jieri and finally retreated to the east of Tianzhu.
Du Qi said, "Invite him in."
The eunuch acknowledged and immediately went to inform him. Not long after, a middle-aged man with a big beard and dressed in hemp clothes entered. This person was Oliha, She Shengjia's minister. He entered the hall and looked around. He was shocked because compared to the palace of Gaoda, Xia Xia's palace was even more magnificent.
In fact, Du Qi's palace was built on the foundation of Gaoda. It was slightly renovated and did not become more magnificent. This was relatively simple.
Even so, Oliha was still quite shocked. This was because the capital of Gaoda was not as prosperous as Gaochang City, and its palace could not compare to Gaochang City's capital. In fact, Oliha was already shocked when he entered Xia Xia's territory. This was because Xia Xia's territory was too prosperous, far surpassing Tianzhu, so Oliha was very shocked.
When Oliha saw Du Qi, his eyes were filled with respect. He bowed and said, "Ambassador Oliha of Gaoda pays his respects to His Majesty, Emperor Xia Xia."
Du Qi said faintly, "You came from Gaoda to Xia Xia. What business do you have?"
Oliha said, "Emperor Xia, I am here on the orders of the King to request for you to send out troops to attack the Jieri Dynasty with Gaoda and attack the King of Jieri."
When Du Qi heard Oliha's words, his eyes narrowed. Gaoda's territory was actually east of Tianzhu. However, She Shengjia was very ambitious. She once wanted to go north and fight the King of Jieri to seize the territory north of Tianzhu.
However, after the King of Jieri ascended the throne, the King of Jieri went on expeditions. In a short period of time, he consolidated the power of the Jieri Dynasty. His strength rose step by step and had reached the peak. She Shengjia could not even protect herself, let alone defeat the King of Jieri. She was being pressured step by step.
Coincidentally, She Shengjia heard about the news of the Western Regions in the north. When she learned that Du Qi had unified Xia Xia, she had the idea of joining forces with Du Qi. She hoped that Du Qi would send troops south from the Western Regions to Tianzhu to attack the King of Jieri.
In this way, She Shengjia could also counterattack the King of Jieri. This was She Shengjia's intention.
Du Qi said, "Ambassador Oliha, according to what I know, Gaoda's Gaoda is no longer a match for Gaoda. Gao Da was no longer a match for King Jieri, and was even about to be destroyed by him. Does She Shengjia still have the strength to counterattack? "
Oliha's expression changed slightly.
How was that possible?
Du Qi actually knew about Tianzhu's Gaoda.
Oliha immediately recovered and said seriously, "You need not worry, Emperor Xia. Although the King of Jieri and my King are clashing right now, my King is on the defensive. In reality, this is a strategic defense. It's not that we are no match for him. As long as Emperor Xia attacks the King of Jieri from the north, my Gaoda can counterattack the King of Jieri. My Gaoda's strength is still very strong. "
Du Qi said, "Ambassador Oliha, are you sure your Gaoda's strength is not weak?"
Oliha said, "Of course I'm sure."
In truth, the Gaoda's strength was not weak. It was just that the King of Jieri was very strong. She Shengjia was no match for him. In order to turn the situation around, She Shengjia chose to join forces with Du Qi.
Du Qi said, "I am doing well in Xia Xia, working hard to develop my strength. So why should my Xia Xia send troops? What benefits can Gaoda give me? "
