"And it's not enough to have artillery, but also cannonballs, although it's not difficult to make an iron ball, but it's not so easy to buy the gunpowder that launches this iron ball, not to mention whether they know the ratio in this, sulfur alone is enough for them to have a headache~~!"

Li Shuo said that these are indeed the current situation, you must know that Dayue does not produce sulfur, in fact, don't talk about Dayue, even Nanshu only has a few small pitiful sulfur mines, and these sulfur mines are a little stretched even if they do not supply the manufacture of gunpowder, so it is simply impossible to solve the supply of sulfur in gunpowder from the country, so at present, the sulfur used in these cannons and guns is all specially transported from overseas, and the problem of sulfur alone is enough to make people a headache, so Dayue even stole the whole of those cannons, but the problem of ammunition alone directly limits them.

"Hmm~~~!" Li Shuo's analysis was very in place and accurate, Li Hui nodded and said: "The last time Uncle Eighteen sent a letter, saying that those craftsmen overseas have already researched new cannons and shells, and now it has reached the final debugging stage, and it is estimated that it will not be long before this batch of artillery will become obsolete!

Although Li Hui helped Duanmu Shuxuan in the dark before, and also took out those cannons and mines, but in fact, these things have been listed as obsolete, and taking them out can only be said to be a waste of the province, and those new weapons Li Hui said that it is impossible to hand them over to anyone.

Li Shuo also nodded again and again for his wife's arrangement, "Don't worry about this matter, I will arrange it, and when the time comes, I will let them make a good loss~~!"

After saying this, Li Shuo began to go down to make arrangements, and half a month later, Nan Sheng, who was far away in Dayue, received a 'secret letter'.

"Prince, I'm afraid this thing you said is not easy to do~~!" Nan Sheng looked at Prince Mutuo with an embarrassed expression.

It didn't take long for Prince Muto to completely lose his past pampering, and all that was left was exhaustion and haggardness.

"What's the matter? Is Nanshu's defense very tight? So that your people can't get their hands on it? You just have to let go of this thing, whatever you want, as long as you get that thing for me!" Prince Mutuo was a little anxious about Nansheng, he was the main battle faction before, and he originally thought that this expedition was a sure thing, but now not only did he not conquer Nanshu and a city, but he came back after being beaten, and there were more than 50,000 captured sergeants alone, which simply gave those anti-war factions a best target, and this period of time can be said to be roasting him back and forth on the fire!

"This~~~!" Nan Sheng hesitated for a moment before he said: " The defense is tight, that's for sure, but the key problem is that this is not something that Nanshu made out of itself, but a fleet of the Huo family got it back from overseas, and this thing is extremely powerful, but the structure inside is also very exquisite, someone in Nanshu dismantled two who wanted to study the imitation, so they secretly dismantled it to see the structure inside, but they never thought about directly dismantling the two, this thing was not much, in such a bad two, then it was repaid, for this large number of officials were dismissed~~!"

When Nan Sheng said this, Prince Mutuo didn't feel anything unusual in his ears, he must have changed it to his own words, and those things must be strictly guarded to prevent them from being stolen by outsiders, so after he heard what Nan Sheng said, the whole person fell into despair, but at this time, Prince Mutuo suddenly remembered what Nan Sheng said just now, he said that someone in Nanshu had disassembled something and wanted to copy it, but he never thought that it was not copied, but it was broken!

"You just said that someone over there in Nanshu had dismantled that thing?" asked Prince Mutuo as he stared at Nan Sheng with straight eyes.

"Yes~~~!" Nan Sheng nodded and said, anyway, this matter has already spread in Nanshu, so it's not a secret.

"Who demolished it?" continued Prince Muto.

Nan Sheng's mouth tensed when he heard this, and then he said: "This~~~~! On the surface, it is said that it is those officials handled by the imperial court, but it is actually the Huo family~~!"

"Huo family?" Prince Mutuo immediately grasped the most important key in this, "Didn't you say that this thing was brought back by the Huo family from overseas to give it to the emperor of your Nanshu Kingdom? Why do you still secretly open it to see? And even if this thing is sacrificed, there must be one or two left on my side! And I also received news before, saying that this thing has a total of twenty doors, and only half of it has been taken out?"

"The prince's news is really well-informed~~~!" Although Nan Sheng was surprised that the other party was able to get such detailed information in such a short time, the expression on his face did not change, he organized the language in his heart and continued: " Prince, you may not know some of the rules of the Huo family's fleet, this Huo family's fleet is divided into an inner team and an outer team, this inner team refers to the Huo family's own fleet, and this outer team is the fleet of the side branches, and a small part of the outer team's fleet is the fleet of the Huo family's foreign daughter!"

"Of course, not every foreign married girl of the Huo family can have a fleet as a dowry, but anyone who can get this fleet as a dowry, the person who marries must be a noble person! And this time this thing is brought back by a fleet of the outer team, and the owner of this fleet is a concubine of Taizu~~! It's just that although this lady has been dead for many years, and has no heirs to inherit, the strange thing is that this fleet has not returned to the hands of the Huo family, but actually fell into the hands of a person with a foreign surname, and what is even more strange is that although the Huo family does not like such a result, no one has really come forward to oppose it!"

"It's just that the bow of this fleet is still the most powerful in the Huo family in the past hundred years, not only has it opened up a lot of new channels over the years, not to mention, the key is that you can get a lot of good things every time, even if it is the Huo family's own family, it is all red-eyed, and now it has got such a big killing weapon back and dedicated it to the imperial court!"

After listening to Nan Sheng's words, Prince Mutuo was silent for a long time before he spoke: "This person is very full, he is only afraid that the Huo family will not be embarrassed by him in the future!"

Speaking of this, Prince Mutuo asked Nan Sheng again: "It is said that this person's fleet has not been returned to the Huo family, so who is his current master?

Prince Muto's words can be said to be to the point, but for Prince Muto's question, Nan Sheng himself is powerless: "I really don't know about this, and this matter also involved a secret history in the palace back then, so no one dared to explore ~~!"

The answer given by Nan Sheng can be regarded as in Prince Muto's expectations, he must have mentioned that the master of this fleet is a concubine just now, and it is generally very troublesome to investigate the secret history of the palace like this, the key is that once it touches the royal family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to cover up the people on his side, and this kind of investigation takes a lot of time, and he does not have so many days to spend on this at the moment, so Prince Mutuo thought of other ways as soon as his mind turned.

"You just said that the people of the Huo family dismantled two cannons, but it's true?" Prince Mutuo reached out and grabbed Nan Sheng's wrist and asked him.

"There is absolutely no falsehood in this matter, and a large number of officials have been implicated in this matter, even if they want to hide it, they can't be satisfied~~!" Nan Sheng said very seriously, and this matter is not impossible to find, so there is no need to hide it.

"Then do you know who the Huo family used to disassemble it, and are there any copied drawings?" Prince Mutuo asked with a little anxiety.

Nan Sheng, who asked Prince Mutuo this, frowned, but as soon as he thought of the secret letter he received, he deliberately made a very embarrassed look on his face and said: "It stands to reason that the Huo family must have left drawings after dismantling that thing, but I'm afraid that this thing is not so easy to get, and those hands-on craftsmen will only be afraid that they won't be able to find it~~~!"

"It's okay~~!" Prince Mutuo grabbed Nan Sheng's hand and shook it vigorously and said: "You can find a way to get those drawings, and this king will provide you with manpower and property~~!As long as you get that~~!"

Prince Muto's words made Nan Sheng's face appear a trace of embarrassment, but he could also see that although Prince Muto said the words of please, he was actually ordering himself to be done, thinking that he had been pinched to death now, although Nan Sheng knew that he could just agree to the other party, but this heart was also very uncomfortable.

"This~~~~!His Royal Highness the Prince~!I can only try it in the next ~~!" After a while, Nan Sheng hesitated to agree.

"Okay~~~!good~~~!" Prince Mutuo heard Nan Sheng say that he agreed, and immediately smiled, he patted Nan Sheng's shoulder vigorously and said: "You do things this king rest assured, you just have to let go of this thing, just tell me what you need, it doesn't matter how much it costs, this king only needs that drawing~~!"

Prince Muto's heart is very clear, his current situation is really very bad, this defeat directly pushed himself into the abyss, not to mention, at that time, the person who went to the front line to urge Muheke to attack was actually not the real envoy sent by His Majesty, but he quietly entered the palace to let people imitate the secret decree, and secretly stamped His Majesty's golden seal, although the people he sent out died directly on the battlefield, and he also cleaned up his tail, but His Majesty was furious about this matter, and ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, so even if people are dead now, there is no proof, but what if they can't find out what is wrongYou must know that stealing His Majesty's Golden Seal is a big crime to exterminate the Nine Clans, even if he is a prince, he can't escape, so now he urgently needs to use something to divert everyone's attention, and the inexplicable powerful weapon of Nanshu is the best choice.

And Prince Mutuo has other thoughts in his heart, he thinks that the Huo family must have gotten the correct drawings after dismantling those cannons, as for why there are unsuccessful words afterwards, it is mainly to hide people's eyes, this kind of powerful weapon must be held in the hands of the state, but this is fine, if it is not the case, how can he have the opportunity to get this thing in his hands.

As for whether Nan Sheng will do anything in this matter, Prince Mutuo doesn't care, because he has already thought about it, although it is said that Nan Sheng will do it, but in fact, it is all done by his own people, and what he wants now is just those networks in Nan Sheng's hands. And Prince Nansheng Mutuo thinks that he is still very relieved, and he must do these smuggling and trading people, they are the kind of people who have long lost the concept of national honor and disgrace, so there is no such thing as patriotism at all, they always care about their own interests, so such people are the best people to control.

Nan Sheng, who left Prince Mutuo, returned to his garden and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, because in his garden, he had been inserted into the eyeliner by a lot of forces in Dayue, although he didn't say that he had been living under the noses of others, but he didn't dare to show his emotions too much, but fortunately, his master was really powerful, and the things he let himself handle on weekdays were all those that were not eye-catching, and the news that he had passed to himself had also been dealt with, so he had been able to mix in Dayue for so many years, and the exquisite arrangement of the master behind it is inseparable.

Sitting in the study and thinking about it for a long time, Nan Sheng wrote two letters, one letter seemed to be just asking about the goods and some inconsequential words, and the other was a secret letter, which was packed in the mezzanine of a brocade box, and sent back to Nanshu along with the letter he had written before, and in the following days, he dealt with those secret goods every day as usual, and arranged them to be shipped one by one according to the needs of various places, and the rest of the time was to stay in the garden without leaving home, and Prince Mutuo also understood that this matter was not easy to do, so he did not let people come to urge anything, but Nan Sheng knew, There have been a lot of stalking of Prince Muto in the vicinity of his home.
