The answer to Li Xuan was not the Ministry of Works, but Liu Bagou, and now the Ministry of Works, the Tang Dynasty's Ministry of Works: Yang Blacksmith, is taking a few apprentices to build muskets and other weapons day and night, and he will not waste time appearing in the court to argue with Liu Bagou and them.

Liu Bagou said: "Back to Your Majesty, at present, the Ministry of Industry has built three bird guns!" ”

Hearing this number, Li Xuan's pride disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he thought that after such a period of time, Blacksmith Yang and they should be able to make more than ten bird guns.

But I didn't expect that there were only three!

However, he also knew that under the urgency of time, it was not easy to make three of them, and it was quite difficult to make bird guns in these years, which was completely hammered by blacksmiths.

Yang Blacksmith with a few apprentices was able to create three in such a short period of time, in fact, it is relatively fast, this is still Yang Blacksmith They played the spirit of ownership and accelerated the speed of building, if it was for those craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty to build, under the passive slack, one person can build one in a month, it is not bad.

But understanding is understanding, but the number of these birds is too small, but it can't support Li Xuan's ambition for the Guards!

According to Li Xuan's plan for the Guards, when the Guards complete the expansion again, it is expected that the number will reach eighty.

At least twenty of them had to be musketeers, the rest were sword and shield men, pikemen, etc.

This forms an army with a small number of troops, but a complete range of troops that can fight independently!

But now it seems that if you want to get more than 20 muskets, I'm afraid it will take at least two months or more, and this time is unbearable for Li Xuan.

Because Li Xuan knew very well that the Ming army outside the mountain was definitely preparing to launch the next round of encirclement and suppression in the mountains, and this time was estimated to be within two months.

It's fast, and the Ming army is estimated to be unable to complete the preparations, but if it is slow, I'm afraid those local officials will not be able to explain to their superiors.

Moreover, spring ploughing has to be considered!

The armies of the Ming Dynasty were all guards, and the guards needed to be tuntian, and they had to go to the fields to farm during the spring ploughing, and they had no time to fight, otherwise they themselves would starve to death.

Therefore, it is very likely that they will attack before the spring ploughing, and this time may be in January next year, and it is unlikely to be delayed until February, because February is the time of surprise, and then they will be busy with spring ploughing.

It is now the middle of November, and there are still about two months before the sting, and during this time, it is very likely that the Ming army will enter the mountain again.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the Ming army will choose to attack after spring ploughing, that is, after February, about March and April.

If the Ming army entered the mountain after spring ploughing, then it would naturally be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, because in this way they would be able to get more time to prepare, and take advantage of these few months for the Tang Dynasty to further integrate the people and young people of the newly recovered Jiguan Mountain, Heihu Village, and Huanggui Mountain, and train the army better.

Moreover, the guards that Li Xuan had high hopes for would also be able to get a sufficient number of arquebuses at that time.

But no matter when the Ming army comes, it will be a major danger for the Tang Dynasty, and if you carry it, you will be able to live, and if you can't resist it, it will be over.

After the court discussion, Li Xuan specially ran to the blacksmith shop to look at the construction of the arquebus, and found that Yang Blacksmith still only took three apprentices to build weapons, he directly waved his hand, and directly asked people to send seven or eight smart, studious, strong and powerful people to Yang Blacksmith as apprentices.

After all, Blacksmith Yang wants to build more than just arquebuses, other swords and farm tools also need to be built, such a large workload, relying on Blacksmith Yang and his three apprentices, when will this be done.

After explaining to Blacksmith Yang not to hide his secrets and teach the new apprentice wholeheartedly, Li Xuan went to the playground to see his guards as usual.

Today's Guards have been training for many months, and they have initially met Li Xuan's requirements for them in terms of formation and discipline, as for other aspects, Li Xuan himself doesn't understand, so he can only formulate a training plan based on some of the experiences of later generations, as for whether these training plans are useful or not, to be honest, Li Xuan himself has no bottom in his heart, and the ghost knows if the Guards he made out can fight at that time.

When other parties were not sure, Li Xuan could only ask the guards to increase the training in queue and discipline again and again.

Because only these two things are indispensable for any army, there is nothing wrong with more training.

After spending an afternoon at the side of the Guards, discussing the training plan with the seven or eight squad leaders he had personally selected, he personally went on the field to direct the training of the Guards, and then Li Xuancai returned to the backyard with a tired body.

After going back, I don't know what's going on, this time Dong Yunyun didn't give him a look, but was very enthusiastic, and it was like a cloud of mud from last night's cold words.

Li Xuan didn't know what was going on, but he didn't bother to ask, anyway, as long as he could enjoy the beauty in his arms, he wouldn't bother to care so much.

Early the next morning, Ye did not come over to serve him to dress and freshen up like yesterday, but Zhu'er waited.

Li Xuan made a little trick on Zhu'er, knocked on the side, and learned that Ye and Dong Yunyun had a long conversation yesterday, and they talked very happily, but Li Xuan couldn't ask what she said, because Zhu'er herself didn't know.

Li Xuan estimated that this Dong Yunyun was probably a big woman, and she took out the prestige of the main palace to suppress the Ye family.

However, Li Xuan is not worried about the Ye family, after all, she is the person personally selected by the Empress Dowager Bai, and looking at her convex and concave figure, you can know that the Empress Dowager Bai is counting on the Ye family to give her a big fat grandson, and with the Empress Dowager Bai taking care of her, the Ye family should not suffer any grievances.

Today, Li Xuan felt that Dong Yunyun's attitude towards herself was obviously better, even better than before Ye came, after a day's work in the afternoon, Li Xuan returned to the backyard, and when she stood in front of the window with Dong Yunyun, Li Xuan pulled her little hand and she didn't struggle, and then Li Xuan grabbed her waist again.

When Li Xuan hugged her before, Dong Yunyun would generally struggle, whether she wanted it or not, but she would struggle, and only when she couldn't get rid of it would she fall into Li Xuan's arms in shame.

However, this time, she did not struggle, but naturally leaned into Li Xuan's arms along Li Xuan's big hand.

That's a good sign!

Could it be that the arrival of the Ye family gave her a sense of crisis or something?

Thinking of this, Li Xuan felt that he needed to test it again, so he slowly slid his hand around Dong Yunyun's waist, and the amplitude of this sliding was getting bigger and bigger, and it was gradually going up, trying to climb the peak!

Dong Yunyun is not a wooden person, so she can clearly feel Li Xuan's big hand touching her body, but although her face is already flushed, she does not stop it.

It wasn't until Li Xuan's big hand covered her peak and kneaded it slightly that her body trembled slightly, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold Li Xuan's restless hand, and at the same time said a little embarrassedly: "Don't move!" ”

Li Xuan looked down at her, who was already flushed, and immediately said, "Well, don't move!" ”

But after a few breaths, I heard Dong Yunyun say: "You are still moving, and I will ignore you if you do this again!" ”

It didn't take long to hear Dong Yunyun lower her voice and say, "Don't go in, they will come in!" ”

After a while, I saw that the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and then I saw Dong Yunyun, who was flushed, trotting out of it, and at the same time, Li Xuan in the room leaned against the window, with a smile that had succeeded in conspiracy!

He also muttered, "It's so fragrant!" ”
