Originally, Chen Zhi'an wanted to establish a small kingdom of his own with his influence in the garrison, but he didn't expect the Tiance Army to be stronger than he imagined. Moreover, in the name of expansion, a part of the army was transferred into the Tiance Army, and then a group of troops from the unity army were selected to join the standing garrison of Lizhou.

And what is more coincidental is that nearly half of Chen Zhi'an's right-hand men have been transferred. And the initiator of this incident is Liu Kui, who was despised by his subordinates.

He didn't expect that as soon as Liu Kui took office, he began to burn the fire on his body, and his influence in the army dropped a lot, and the Tiance Army was on the side, so the careful thoughts in his heart were naturally hidden.

"Is the general too careful, there are more than 10,000 people in this homeless, and in Lizhou, in addition to us, there is also the Tiance Army. Speaking of that day, the army was a little envious of Lao Wu and them, and they jumped into the dragon gate and became a forbidden army.

But I heard that the salary of the Tiance Army is not low, more than twice as much as ours. And the weapons, the quality of the horizontal knives is better than the ones we use, and the armor。。。。。 Gee... ”

"What? Do you want to go to the Tiance Army? Why don't you give a message to the regimental training envoy and recommend you to the Tiance Army? Chen Zhi'an said lightly.

"The lowly position is just talking, the general said with a smile. I, Lao Qin, have followed the general in this life, where the general goes, where I go! Seeing that his general's face was displeased, the officer surnamed Qin hurriedly explained with a smile.

Although Chen Zhi'an was a little uncomfortable, he thought that several of his henchmen were so attracted to the Tiance Army, and even one of them became the deputy capital. also knows that compared with the Tiance Army, being his subordinate is indeed not very attractive.

Li Ye is not only the current envoy of the festival, but also the prince, many officers are also ordinary people, and the prestige of the imperial court on the side of Shannan West Road is still quite high, otherwise it would not be so easy for Niu Miao to be the envoy of the stability and moderation.

People go to high places, water flows to low places, and there is a chance to join the Tiance Army, these ordinary officers naturally can't ask for it.

"Your Excellency, there are indeed some problems with these homeless people." While the two were chatting, an officer came up to him and said seriously.

"What's the problem?" Chen Zhi'an said with a solemn expression.

"Returning to the Deputy Envoy, according to the investigation of the lowly position, the migration of these displaced people is not voluntary, as if someone forced them. But what exactly is going on, the humble position has not yet been clarified. ”

"I'll just say how can there be so many homeless, even if there were not so many homeless people in the Huangchao rebellion before." Chen Zhi'an sneered.

"General, who is persecuting these outcasts?" The officer surnamed Qin said curiously.

"It's not hard to guess, it's either Niu Shuai's side or the rebels' side. However, the former should not be so bold, no matter how you say it, it is impossible for Niu Shuai, who has just been defeated, to offend the current festival commander at this time. Chen Zhi'an analyzed.

For Niu Xuan, the former envoy of the festival, Chen Zhi'an is not the kind of person who is loyal to him. In the current situation, there are a few who are loyal to a certain party, even for the Tang Dynasty, many people do not say that they will rebel, everything is interests.

Before the Zhongwu Army attacked Xingyuan Mansion, neither the predecessor Assassin nor he proposed to send troops, and they also discussed, thinking that Niu Miao's chances of success were not great. There are only a few thousand troops in Lizhou, and the loyal soldiers are many and brave, and the army of Shannan Xidao is not an opponent at all, and the two of them are naturally unwilling to take the army that Lizhou is regarded as relying on as cannon fodder.

Originally, what they thought was that if Niu Miao was defeated in the end, they would take refuge in the Zhongwu army, but who knew that at this time, the imperial court intervened, appointed King Shou as the new Jiedu envoy, and came with the Tiance army. Because the predecessor of the assassin did not want to participate in the struggle of several forces, he accepted the will of the imperial court and went to Shuzhou to serve as the assassin, leaving Chen Zhi'an alone, obviously alone.

"The general thinks it's the Loyal Army?" The officer surnamed Qin said tentatively.

"Hmm." Chen Zhi'an nodded, "This is very likely. But what confidence do they have that they can take Lizhou? These tens of thousands of displaced people are scattered in three resettlement sites, and there are many women and children in the middle, even if there are rebels mixed in, but the number will not be too much, just by virtue of this, people want to take Lizhou? ”

"General, what now? Do you want to report to the regimental training envoy? ”

"Report it, don't hide it, if it's really guessed by us, it's not a trivial matter." Chen Zhi'an said without hesitation.

Thinking of the hidden crisis among the displaced people this time, Chen Zhi'an suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity, an opportunity to attract the attention of King Shou. If you can take this new boat and make this boat, maybe it is not impossible for your position to go further.

。。。。。。

"The king wants to set up an ordnance department to be responsible for the production of weapons, including the development and production of firearms. Set up a Si Cheng, who is on the same five products; There are two young men, who are on the same seven grades.

The Ordnance Department will have jurisdiction over the bow and crossbow office, the sword and gun office, the armor office, the firearms office, and the miscellaneous weapons office, each of which will have one person under the order, and the position will be the same as that of the seven products; Cheng is one person, and he is under the same eight grades.

The first Si Cheng will be served by Chengye you, Qingyangzi Dao Chang will serve as Shao Cheng and be responsible for the affairs of the firearms office, and the other Shao Cheng will send someone to take office later.

The king's request is very simple, that is, the ordnance department can fully supply the ordnance required by the Tiance army in the future. For craftsmen, they can be divided into one to ten levels of craftsmen, according to ability, from low to high, the higher the ability, the higher the income。。。。。。 ”

Outside the city, in the firearms making workshop, Li Ye announced the appointment in front of Sun Ye, Zheng Ningji, Zhang Chengye, Qingyangzi and others.

Li Ye has been planning for the establishment of a special ordnance agency, which was not allowed before, but now there is no taboo, and the establishment is on the agenda.

"Slave (poor road), thank you for your kindness!"

Hearing Li Ye's order, Zhang Chengye and Qingyangzi were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Although the two of them were responsible for the development of this firearm before, they were not justified after all, but now it is equivalent to Li Ye giving them an official identity, and the level is not low.

"Two of you, as long as you manage the Ordnance Department well and don't disappoint this king." Li Ye said.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Ye nodded, but Sun Ye, who was confused next to him, took this opportunity to ask, "Your Highness, the bow and crossbow are these things that the lower officials can understand, but what is this firearm?" Why did His Highness set up a firearms station? ”

The firearms department is only one of them, and Sun Ye can't understand the establishment of this ordnance department. This ordnance department is actually not much different from the ordnance superintendent set up by the DPRK and China, or it is a copy of the ordnance superintendent.

There is one superintendent of ordnance, which belongs to the official position of the fourth grade; And the Ordnance Department in Li Ye's mouth set up a Si Cheng, who was on the same five grades. There is one ordnance supervisor, who is on the seventh grade; There are two young men in the Ordnance Division, who are also on the same seven grades.

The reason why it is the same is because this institution is not recognized by the imperial court, but set up by Li Ye privately, and how to rank it depends on Li Ye's mood.

In addition to this, under the Ordnance Supervisor, there are crossbow workshop offices, A workshop offices, etc., each of which has an order, and is under the eight grades; The Ordnance Department is a crossbow workshop and a firearms office, which are also set up by one person, but they are the same as the seven products.

Therefore, this ordnance department is actually not much different from the ordnance superintendent of the court, according to Li Ye's meaning, this is set up under the envoy of Shannan West Daojiedu. Sun Ye didn't know if it was suitable or not, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only start with firearms.

"Firearms are a secret of this king, and they will not be disclosed to the public for the time being. But later, after you see the power of firearms, you won't say that there is no need for this firearm to be established! Li Ye said with a smile, not planning to explain too much.

The Ordnance Department is only responsible for Li Ye, and there are royal soldiers who are responsible for daily security, which shows that Li Ye attaches great importance to the predecessor of the Ordnance Department.

Seeing that Li Ye kept this firearm so secret, Sun Ye and Zheng Ningji became even more curious about this firearms station. In fact, they had heard about the ambush of Li Ye and his entourage in the mansion outside Lutou Pass, and they were also wondering how Li Ye and his entourage had escaped, but for this matter, those accompanying soldiers were also a little taboo and even afraid.

Now seeing that Li Ye attaches so much importance to this firearm, they can't help but associate the two together. Could it be that King Shou and his entourage turned the corner from danger to safety, relying on this firearm?

"When the Ordnance Department was first established, there were definitely not enough craftsmen in terms of swords, bows and crossbows. In the future, it is to find a way to recruit as many craftsmen as possible, and there must be many craftsmen in Lizhou.

Later, this king will order other states to concentrate excellent craftsmen in the Ordnance Division, anyway, there is one point, that is, to put up the shelves of the Ordnance Division as soon as possible and operate normally, so as to ensure the supply of ordnance. ”

The reason why Tang knives disappeared after the Tang Dynasty was that during the chaotic period of the Five Dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang knife making technology was lost. In addition, the Tang knife process requirements are high, the cost is also high, and the Tang Dynasty can use the Tang knife, which is also one of the reasons why the Tang knife technology is lost.

After all, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, there were constant wars, and the financial resources of all parties could not support a set of Tang knives, so they sought new knives with low cost and easy forging, and the real Tang knives lost the market.

The usefulness of the Tang knife has become lower, and now there is a sign. In addition to the imperial armies such as the Shence Army and the Tiance Army, which could also guarantee the supply of Tang Dao, many feudal army could not maintain the luxurious equipment before. It is evident not only in the swords and guns, but also in the armor, which is getting thinner.

However, Li Ye also knew that he, the Ordnance Division, needed constant time to reach the level he was satisfied with. You can't become fat by eating in one bite, which also requires the accumulation of technology and time.

"Your Highness, Sun Tingshi came to report from there, saying that there may be a loyal rebel army among the displaced people this time." Just as Li Ye was instructing the Ordnance Division to do something, Link came to his side and reported in a low voice.

"Loyal rebels? What do they want to do? ”

Li Ye couldn't help but be a little puzzled, did they want to take Lizhou in one fell swoop? That's too much to take yourself into, right?
