Lu Zifei attaches great importance to these 1,000 people, because the safety of the use of gunpowder is a big problem, and it is also necessary to be familiar with the process, and what he needs most now is time, so these 1,000 people have become his gunpowder consultants.

"Looks a little slack! Isn't it rare for the new commander to take you out to sea? ”

Huang Shuangming said: "There are many opportunities to go to sea, but there are no enemies, every time you go to sea, you are wandering around, you have nothing to do for a few days and then turn around and return, or follow you to the sea with passion." ”

Lu Zifei said: "I brought you this time because you know how to use gunpowder, the time is very tight, the task is very heavy, I also picked out 5,000 people from the Northwest Army, you take the inspection army and start teaching them how to use it and some often encountered problems, Guangzhou is waiting for us." ”

Huang Shuangming got close to Lu Zifei and said: "My lord, at the beginning, our three warships and five building ships were rampant, destroying the country and robbing, forcing the Bagan country to bow down, this time Nong Zhigao rebellion will not need so many soldiers and gunpowder!" ”

This is still the first general to doubt Lu Zifei, although Huang Shuangming has always been a deputy general, but after following Lu Zifei for a while, he already has a certain ability to judge some of his habits.

"Oh, do you think I have any other purpose?"

"This subordinate can't say for sure, but you must not be just for Nong Zhigao, a Nong Zhigao will not let you spend so much time, with the existence of gunpowder, they are not a big threat, and the people in Quanzhou City are not a little panicked at all."

Lu Zifei said: "Do your thing well, what you should tell you must be told to you, what you can't tell you, that is, the time has not yet come, there are three main generals this time, General Di Qing and General Zhang Qi, of course, your old superiors are indispensable, and this is one of the few opportunities to make money for the military industry." ”

Huang Shuangming listened to Lu Zifei's tone, quite a bit of a battle to settle the situation, if so, then he really has to seize the opportunity, Lu Zifei's words can be said to be blind worship and absolute belief.

The next morning, Lu Zifei and Master Li were having breakfast, and Lu Zifei, who wanted to show off his knowledge, was interrupted by the unkempt Di Qing, and as soon as he came in, Di Qing said: "My lord, it's not okay to go to Xijiang, after I calculated carefully, it will take at least five more days to go to Xijiang." ”

Lu Zifei frowned and said, "How can it be so bad, I don't remember it far!" His memory is still stuck in the days of speedboats and telling, so he doesn't feel how far away, but now the power of the boat is still far away.

"It's too far away, if we waste one more day, Guangzhou will have to bear one more day of crisis, and I still suggest attacking from Shiziyang."

"I'm afraid that Nong Zhigao will turn around and flee back to Yongzhou, the place in Yongzhou is full of mountains and forests, and twenty or thirty thousand people go in and our fifty thousand people want to find it, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and a soldier in the north is greatly affected by the climate in the south, you have to take this into account."

Di Qing said: "I still insist on my idea, now you can achieve your goal from Shishi Yangjin, I am not wrong, this Nong Zhigao is already under the city of Guangzhou, there is nothing that cannot be bypassed." ”

Lu Zifei still attaches great importance to the opinions of professionals, and he said: "Let's have a meeting to discuss!" The two of us have our own opinions, and no one can convince anyone, so let's do it! What do you think? ”

Di Qing was very useful to Lu Zifei's statement, because most of the people who held the meeting were his subordinates, so he had a natural advantage, but even so, Lu Zifei did not say a word and be a dictator.

"Okay, I'll go gather people, you can come over after breakfast!"

"It's all here, let's go together after dinner! Try the morning tea of southern specialties. ”

Di Qing looked at the outfit on his body, shook his head and said goodbye, he is now very clear, he is a military general, and eating with his top boss will be recognized as him taking refuge in Lu Zifei, such people generally have no good end, so he wants to be a lonely minister.

There was no conference room, everyone stood on the deck and bumped heads, and finally Zhang Qi also agreed with Di Qing's idea, the two far-sighted generals both thought that it was the best choice to go to Shiziyang, and it must be their own mistake, so Lu Zifei obeyed everyone's intentions.

"Now that the final plan has been decided, let's send a letter to Guangzhou and tell them that it is enough to defend the city, and Nong Zhigao will hand it over to us, and add a sentence to it, stick to it, don't take the initiative easily."

Four days later, Nong Zhigao stood under the city of Guangzhou, of course, there was still a distance, he was very sorry for his life, for fear that a cold arrow would come up from the city gate to take his life, he inquired, where the money in the city of Guangzhou was gathered, as long as the city was broken, he could instantly become the richest emperor in the world.

"What about the siege equipment, we must attack Guangzhou City before the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court, and then quickly retreat to Yongzhou, if it is glued by the people of the imperial court, we may be a problem to get out at that time."

Huang Shimi said: "Craftsmen are difficult to find, and now that some have been made, we can officially attack in two days." ”

Nong Zhigao nodded and said: "Very good, then launch the total in two days, you have worked hard in the past few days, look at those craftsmen, don't let them play any tricks." ”

Cao Feng was holding a telescope at the head of the city, and the person in his field of vision was Nong Zhigao, in terms of appearance, Nong Zhigao was still a talent, dressed like a Han family, if he didn't know in advance, he would definitely think that Nong Zhigao was a Han.

Cao Feng gave the telescope to Yu Jing, Yu Jing looked at it for a while and said: "There is no art of war at all, just with a brute strength, it has something in common with the foreign races in the north!" There aren't many regular troops, you can tell by looking at their clothes. ”

"The armor on their bodies is still that of the forbidden army, it should be the part that General Yang lost! The others should be obtained from the local forbidden army and the box soldiers, and the soldiers of their own clan are definitely not more than 10,000, and the others are obviously a little more common people. ”

Yu Jing said: "So our task is not heavy, the battle is what our Han people are good at, they are not attacking but urgently building siege equipment, and then we can use human lives to fill it, and we can also block it for a long time." ”

Cao Feng said with a smile: "When I inspected the city yesterday, I found a batch of tung oil from the Jia family, thinking of the upcoming war, I didn't hesitate to deduct it, and wait for Nong Zhigao to surprise them when they attack the city!" ”

Yu Jing pointed at Cao Feng and scolded with a smile: "You! The same as your good brother will be repaid, since Jia Xiang has retired, there is no need to hold on to others, this is also a small taboo in officialdom, if everyone settles accounts after the autumn, who dares to do things for the people, isn't it good for everyone to be a rich man at home? ”

"The kid knows, but it's just a matter of holding the sheep, even if they are detained at this time, they don't dare to say anything, are they treated special in special circumstances? I'm only going straight to the point, and if Xiucai is here, he should be able to do better, and he won't let people find faults. ”

"Do you think Zhao Pu, Kou Zhun, Li Di, Ding Gao, Lu Yijian, who are the best?"

Cao Feng said: "Of course it's Zhao Pu, do you still need to ask?" He's the first old man! ”

Yu Jing shook his head and said: "Wrong, the most powerful should be Lu Yijian, there is nothing to study and study him in the future, a powerful character, you will find his difference if you study more, I will say one aspect, he became the prime minister at the age of forty-five, but how old is your brother this year." ”

"Twenty-three!"

"You know it's twenty-three! Twenty-three is as high as mine, and there is a marquis on him, do you think he can be the prime minister at the age of thirty? ”

Cao Feng said: "Of course you can! I feel that thirty years old is a bit late, and it's a pity that someone like him doesn't become a prime minister. ”

Yu Jing felt that he couldn't communicate with such a person, who gave you the confidence to be the prime minister before the age of thirty, even if others agreed with the emperor, the emperor would not agree, you were only thirteen when you were thirty years old, and King Yong would not become a puppet in the future.

"General, there is a conflict in the city, and we need military support, otherwise the situation may get out of control."

Cao Feng said in surprise: "What's the matter, isn't there a servant here?" ”

"The officials of the yamen dare not do it"

Yu Jing said: "Is it those housekeepers and the like of big families who rely on their identities to fight against the yamen. ”

"Yes, that's pretty much the same as the adults said."

When they arrived at the place of the incident, the leader looked at everyone proudly and said, "We want to go out of the city, we want to go back to the capital, we want you to open the city gates, we don't want to stay here." ”

Cao Feng said angrily: "Shout, the breath is quite big!" I've been in the capital for decades, and I've never seen you so arrogant, what's the matter, your surname is Zhao. ”

Hearing Cao Feng's authentic Bianjing accent, his tone softened slightly, and he said, "I'm from the Xiao family."

"Is that the Xiao family in Jinling?"

"Yes, it's the Jinling Xiao family."

"Is the Jinling Xiao family amazing? I remember that the Xiao family in Jinling was almost killed by my brother, why did they come out and jump again now. ”

Everyone was shocked by Cao Feng's momentum, and involuntarily took a few steps back, Cao Feng and they all knew that at this time, the power of the army commander would be infinitely magnified, killed, confiscated, even the envoy of strategy, pacification, and transfer would not say anything.

Someone stepped forward and said, "General, we just want to get out of the city, and we don't mean anything else." ”

"Want to get out of town? Do you know that there is an army of 100,000 outside the city? It's blocked on all sides, go out from there, tell me. ”

"We have our own way, this general doesn't have to worry about it, the general just needs to open the city gate."

Cao Feng squinted his eyes and said, "Are you threatening me?" Think about it. ”

"We really just want to go out, General Cao, although the Cao family is noble, we are not afraid."

"All of them were arrested, the roster was registered, all the goods belonging to their family were confiscated, and they still wanted to get out, you managed to make me laugh." Cao Feng said with a wave of his hand.
