Chapter 59: Tang Long 1

Getting rid of Xu Shisong is equivalent to getting rid of the other castle masters of the Xu family.

The long house and the three rooms can be implemented according to a unified standard, and the supply of gunpowder is twenty catties, how do they distribute it and let the uncle and the third uncle have a headache themselves.

As for the second room, since the last time the father and son had an open and honest conversation, Xu Muhe would not put extra pressure on him.

As for Luan Tingyu and Sun Li, the owners of the second-room fort, they can push their father out as a shield.

Of course, the production of gunpowder still needs to be increased, new firearms, more firearms, and improvised explosive devices (such as 10,000 enemies) that have not yet found an opportunity to be used, but have no technical threshold, all need a large amount of gunpowder support, if it is still 30 catties a month, I am afraid that even training cannot be guaranteed.

"I have to work with Gongsun Sheng, I should be able to obtain the relevant materials of the whole family now, and if I increase the number of apprentices, the output should be increased."

At Xu Shiyang's insistence, after the last meeting in the fort, the gunpowder workshop in charge of Gongsun Sheng began to decompose the gunpowder manufacturing process.

And, even if there are not as many raw materials, each process has to be staffed with double apprentices.

At that time, Gongsun Sheng also complained about this, and now he should praise Xu Shiyang's "foresight".

"Alas, ......, there is still a shortage of people!" Xu Shiyang sighed and said, "If there were double the number of skilled workers, instead of uneasy apprentices, the output could be doubled." ”

The facts will not change because of complaints, there are only two ways to lack people, one is to calm down and train, and the other is to work hard to find existing talents.

So this time, Xu Shiyang was not polite at all, relying on the opportunity to challenge the loot first, and packed all the craftsmen and craftsmen's families in the captives of Fulai Mountain, leaving no one behind.

Even, Xu Shiyang suppressed his inner likes and dislikes, and retained a few skilled old bandits.

Like what:

"This person's name is Tang Long, known as the money leopard in the rivers and lakes, he is a good fighter, and he is in charge of building weapons and blades in Liu Gaoshanzhai......

The night before the execution of the bandit leader and the old bandit, Gongsun Sheng quietly came to Xu Shiyang and recommended him a "talent".

"Blacksmith?"

"Yes, I heard that he was born as a former ordnance supervisor of the Western Army."

"Bring it to me."

More than ten years ago, when the Great Zhou Dynasty could still maintain its rule in Jiangbei, the Western Army was the strongest fighting force among the surrounding armies, and the sophisticated equipment provided by the Ordnance Supervisor, second only to the Forbidden Army in the capital, played a great role - in fact, after the Western Army was dispersed, many weapons and armor were scattered outside the pass, and they were still regarded as valuable assets by the Tartars.

A craftsman from the Western Army's Ordnance Prison, if it is true, it is a surprising surprise.

After a while, Gongsun Sheng brought Tang Long, who was tied up with five flowers, Xu Shiyang took a closer look, this guy was a head shorter than himself, but his muscles were knotted, and he was almost two widths of Xu Shiyang when viewed horizontally, which looked very strong.

has a dark face and a beard, similar to Zhang Fei in the TV series - he looks like he has a similar temper, at least he is a stinky fart, he was caught, and he still looked at Xu Shiyang with his head wrong.

"I heard you're from the Western Army?" Xu Shiyang asked curiously.

"Humph!" Ignore people.

"I don't see it." Xu Shiyang shook his head and whispered to Gongsun Sheng who was standing aside: "The Western Army is the strongest border army in the Great Zhou, it is said to be stronger than the forbidden army, and it must be all real heroes, how could they fall to Fulai Mountain to fight the bandits?" ”

"It's definitely bragging."

"You bird thief!" Tang Long couldn't help but scold: "Grandpa is from the Western Army!" Grandpa is a good man! ”

"Hehe, those from the Western Army were defeated by a group of militia under me? There is also a face to say what a hero ....... ”

The facts were in front of him, and Tang Long couldn't refute it, this kid stared at a pair of bull's eyes, looked at Xu Shiyang viciously, but couldn't say a word.

"No wonder you can't beat the Tartars, the so-called strongest border troops are all bad breeds like you, and it's strange that you can beat the Tartars." Xu Shiyang's face was disdainful.

",,!" Tang Long slammed into Xu Shiyang, and as soon as he got close, he was kicked back by Gongsun Sheng.

This person can walk from Laoshan to Juzhou by himself, and his kung fu is really not weak.

"We are not afraid of Tartars! We have no bad seeds in the Western Army! ”

couldn't compete with Xu Shiyang, the black-faced strong man rolled on the ground like a child, and cried while rolling:

"If it weren't for the blind command of the bird civil officials, how could our Western Army be defeated! We're all about to destroy the party barbarians! We're not bad seeds! ”

Xu Shiyang was deliberately angry with him, ten years ago, the defeat of the Western Army was indeed a little wronged.

At that time, Liaodong was in the process of alternating between two powers - one was the Khitan who was half nomadic and half farming, and the other was the Jurchen who was half nomadic and half fishing and hunting, and the two groups of Tatars were competing for the dominance of Liaodong, and the steppe Tatars were on the eve of the decisive battle of the unification war, and no one could spare their hands to rob the Great Zhou for the time being.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Great Zhou sent an elite western army to launch an offensive against the northwest party, intending to recover the Yinxia and Xia regions, which were important horse-producing areas, and if they could succeed, they would have a good role in promoting the combat effectiveness of the Zhou army.

The initial offensive was very smooth, and the Western Army was worthy of being the strongest army in the Great Zhou, and they even hit near the capital of the Dangxiang people for a time.

But then, the situation changed abruptly, and the Liaodong War was decided at a jaw-dropping speed, and the Jurchens eliminated the Khitan regime and took control of the entire Liaodong, and then they entered the customs in a big way and began a journey to rob the Central Plains.

At this time, the emperor sent a high-ranking civil official (that is, the prime minister of the dynasty, the leader of the lord and faction) to the northwest to mobilize the western army that was preparing for a decisive battle with the Dangxiang people, and prepared to transfer this most effective force to the Yanzhao battlefield to resist the Jurchens' offensive.

It was a good accomplishment of his mission for the civilian government - all voices against the withdrawal were silenced (it is said that many generals who were unwilling to withdraw were killed at that time).

However, the civilian officials had little military experience and did not know what a retreat in front of the enemy meant for an army in a feudal society.

Under the constant entanglement and pursuit of the party members, the retreat eventually turned into a rout, and the most capable troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty were wasted .......

Eventually, the Jurchens swept across the entire area north of the Yangtze River, killing millions of Han Chinese and enslaving almost the same number of people.

The plane is slightly different from the shame of Jingkang, the Great Zhou Emperor is very good at long-distance running, and his sense of smell is quite sensitive.

Another difference was that the civil war in the steppes ended at this time, when the unified Tatars launched an offensive against the Jurchens.

The newly established Jurchen Dajin regime had no choice but to spit out most of the spoils, and the main force of the Jin army returned to Liaodong to defend their hometown, and fought fiercely with the Tatars at the place where the Jin and Tatars met.

This made the Great Zhou, no, to be precise, let the Great Zhou court escape the catastrophe.
